Chapter 155: The New Sect Leader of Shushan

Chong Lou was like a huge light bulb blocking between Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan.

It was clearly a movie for two, but he was as prominent as a lumbar disc.

Chu Yang couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Senior Demon Lord, do you want to find a place to rest? You consumed a lot of demonic power just now repairing the Demon-Locking Tower."

"No need!" Chong Lou waved his hand and continued to stare at Xu Changqing.

Seeing him being so unappreciative, Chu Yang simply said, "Senior Demon Lord, don't you think that in this picture, having one more of you is a bit redundant?"

Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru couldn't help it, and both laughed out loud.

Chong Lou suddenly understood Chu Yang's meaning, turned around and stared at him, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous.

"My second contest with you should be starting soon, right?"

Chong Lou said with an unkind expression.

"Not so, not so. Senior hasn't even completed the first agreement. A dignified Demon Lord can't be in debt, right?"

Chu Yang smiled.

Chong Lou was stunned, "You said just now that I repaired the Demon-Locking Tower!"

Chu Yang admired, "Senior Demon Lord cares about the world and is a model for us, but what does this have to do with the agreement between you and me?"

Chong Lou was afraid that Chu Yang didn't understand his meaning, so he explained it again, "If I watched the tower collapse, many people would die, including those you asked me to protect."

Chu Yang repeated, "Senior Demon Lord cares about..."

"Enough!" Chong Lou's face turned red with anger. Now he was red from head to toe, becoming a veritable red-haired monster.

Even Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan couldn't hold back and laughed.

Chong Lou, who was originally angry, suddenly calmed down again, which made Chu Yang shake his head.

Tsk tsk, love-brained people are really scary.

"Change the agreement. I'm not suitable for this."

This sentence coming from Chong Lou's mouth was basically begging Chu Yang.

"Please wait a moment, Demon Lord."

Chu Yang walked to Zi Xuan and asked her to take out the Holy Spirit Bead. Zi Xuan seemed to have guessed Chu Yang's idea and was a bit hesitant.

Xu Changqing smiled, "Give the Holy Spirit Bead to Junior Brother."

Hearing this, Zi Xuan didn't hesitate anymore and handed the Holy Spirit Bead to Chu Yang.

Another love-brained person!

Chu Yang wrapped the six spirit beads with true essence. The five spirit beads each occupied a corner, forming a pentagram shape, while the Holy Spirit Bead was in the center. This was a miniature Five Spirit Array.

The Five Spirit Array operated, the five-element spiritual power circulated, and it was continuously repairing the damaged Holy Spirit Bead.

The Demon Lord's eyes lit up, and he nodded in praise, "The Five Spirit Array can be used like this. Your talent in the Dao of arrays is indeed much better than old man Qingwei."

The elders looked embarrassed, only Qingwei stroked his beard and laughed, "Talents emerging one after another, this is a sign of Shushan's revival!"

The Sword Saint looked at Chu Yang and other young disciples, suddenly fell into deep thought, and his heart seemed to be struggling with something.

After a while, he turned to the Wine Sword Immortal and said, "Junior Brother, do you think the Sword Sect has a chance to take back the name of the Shushan Sect in the next hundred years?"

The Wine Sword Immortal shook his head solemnly, "Senior Brother, if the Qi Sect only has Xu Changqing, and we take in Li Xiaoyao, the two sects can compete. But the Qi Sect now has a disciple like Chu Yang with heaven-defying qualifications, who can almost suppress the Sword Sect for thousands of years until he ascends to immortality."

"Thousands of years..." The Sword Saint was lost in thought, "I often think, if there hadn't been the sword-qi dispute back then, and we had gathered the strength of both sects, we would have had enough power to stop the evil Jiang Ming from wreaking havoc on Shushan."

"Moreover, Qingwei and the others were in a hurry to use forbidden methods to improve their cultivation back then, creating a monster like the Evil Sword Immortal, also because the pressure from the Sword Sect on the Qi Sect was too great."

"In the final analysis, the sword-qi dispute has poisoned my Shushan for many years..."

The Wine Sword Immortal seemed to hear some kind of realization from the Sword Saint's words, his expression became very shocked, and he subconsciously wanted to drink some wine to suppress his shock, but when he reached down, he found that the wine gourd was no longer at his waist.

He could only swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva and mutter to himself, "Shushan is really going to change!"

After a while, Chu Yang used the five spirit beads and the Five Spirit Array to repair the Holy Spirit Bead and returned it to Zi Xuan.

And the five spirit beads were dim because of this, and it would probably be difficult to restore their power without hundreds of years.

Just when everyone was wondering how Chu Yang would deal with the five spirit beads, they saw him hand the spirit beads to Chong Lou and say with a smile, "The matter of restoring the five spirit beads will be left to the Demon Lord!"

At first, Zi Xuan didn't want Chong Lou to repair the Holy Spirit Bead. One was because she didn't like Chong Lou's pestering, and the other was because she didn't want demonic power to contaminate the Holy Spirit Bead, because the Holy Spirit Bead had extraordinary significance and was where the holy souls of the past Nv Wa descendants returned.

Chu Yang took a detour, using the five spirit beads to repair the Holy Spirit Bead, and then letting Chong Lou repair the five spirit beads. In this way, everyone was happy, and no one was disgusted by anyone.

"Do you trust me so much? I am a Demon Race, the most fickle!"

"Senior Demon Lord is joking. If it weren't for Senior rushing over today, the situation would have become worse. Chu Yang keeps it in mind."

A fleeting smile appeared on Chong Lou's mouth, then he nodded and took the five spirit beads.

To repair the five spirit beads that were already close to drying up, even he would have to spend some time.

Canggu and others seemed to have many objections, but they were suppressed by Qingwei.

"Since our agreement is reached, when is the next contest?"

Once Chong Lou said this, expressions of worry appeared on everyone's faces.

They didn't know how Chu Yang would deal with it this time.

Chu Yang glanced at Jingtian, his expression moved, "Last time we compared strength, so how about comparing moves this time?"

Chong Lou nodded, "Okay!"

Then he pointed to Jingtian, "You come too."

Jingtian was terrified.

Tang Xuejian stepped forward to protect Jingtian behind her, akimbo, "He is the weakest among you, why drag him along? Afraid of losing and losing face?"

Chong Lou's face turned blue.

Jingtian covered Tang Xuejian's mouth again. He had already lost count of how many times he had done this action.

Chong Lou opened the teleportation array and walked in with a dark face.

"Junior Brother, be careful!"

After Chu Yang walked in, Xu Changqing hurriedly reminded him. Chu Yang nodded to him and then walked into the array.

Jingtian hesitated for a moment, broke free from Tang Xuejian's arm, and walked toward the array.

Tang Xuejian stomped her feet in anger, deciding to scold him well after he came back.

"Little brother, wait a moment." Qingwei stepped forward and handed Jingtian something, a mirror-like magic treasure. He explained, "This object is called the Xuan Guang Mirror. It is a magic treasure I use to contact Shushan disciples. It can let us see the situation on the other side."

Jingtian accepted the Xuan Guang Mirror and entered the array under everyone's attention. When he appeared on the other side, what caught his eyes was a beautiful picture.

"This is the New Immortal Realm. Back then, Feipeng and I discovered this place at the same time. To fight for this place, we fought for thousands of years, until Feipeng was demoted to the mortal world. This place has never changed, but Feipeng..."

Chong Lou shook his head in disappointment. Jingtian felt he was scolding people, but there was no evidence.

Chu Yang said, "Senior Demon Lord let Jingtian come over, it should be to teach him some things, let him become strong early to fight with you, and fulfill his wish."

Chong Lou smiled for the first time, "You are smart, different from others. Compared to Feipeng's return, I am looking forward to your growth more now. One day, you and I can fight fairly!"

The duel between the two started under Jingtian's witness. Chu Yang used his most proud sword skills to fight Chong Lou.

Chong Lou had experienced countless battles since his debut, and both his consciousness and experience were crushing Chu Yang. His moves, or fighting techniques, were gradually formed from one battle after another.

Every move was a killing move.

Neither side used true essence spiritual power, purely comparing moves, but still couldn't get around the support of physical ability.

In this aspect, Chu Yang had the advantage.

And then there was the difference in moves.

Chong Lou's moves were more concise and direct, completely killing techniques, while Chu Yang's moves contained the principles of heaven and earth, possessing the prototype of the Dao.

Qingwei, who was watching the battle using the Xuan Guang Mirror, couldn't help but sigh, "The threshold of the fourth realm of cultivation, refining emptiness and joining the Dao, is like a decoration for Chu Yang. As long as his realm is reached, he can join the Dao and become an immortal at any time. He is a nailed-down immortal."

Canggu and other elders couldn't help but show bitter smiles. All they sought in their lives was to cultivate and become immortals, but for Chu Yang, it was as simple as drinking water and eating.

Tang Xuejian didn't understand much, only knowing that Chu Yang could become an immortal. Looking at the silly Jingtian, she couldn't help but feel that the gap between people was really big.

Everyone's past lives were extraordinary, why are you so silly?

Li Xiaoyao stared at the Xuan Guang Mirror, absorbing Chu Yang's sword skills like a sponge, and then silently deduced in his heart.

The sword skills of several worlds collided in his mind, and after a long accumulation, a shocking sword path was about to be born.

Fighting with the Demon Lord who didn't know how many years he had lived, Chu Yang's mental consumption was huge, and his Observation Haki was almost in a state of failure, unable to predict the other party's next move at all.

The only thing that could play a little role was the Rinnegan.

Chu Yang relied on the Rinnegan to capture the other party's moves and then learned them. His offensive style also became closer and closer to Chong Lou.

Chong Lou also felt that Chu Yang's sword skills gradually abandoned the previous heaviness and became more and more sharp and simple.

"Not bad, but if you only learn from me blindly, you will only lose faster!"

Chong Lou reminded him.

Chu Yang certainly knew that he would lose this way. He just wanted to see how Chong Lou would deal with his offensive moves and then integrate them into his sword skills.

Letting the questioner take the exam paper himself and then copying the answers might not be the right path in most people's eyes, but it was most suitable for dealing with the current situation.

The battle was unexpectedly long. A full day and night passed before Chu Yang and Chong Lou decided the winner.

Chu Yang just happened to win by one move.

Chong Lou seemed to have expected that he would lose, said lightly "Don't let me protect anyone," and walked into the teleportation array and disappeared.

"Hey hey hey, you should open the way back!"

Chu Yang secretly scolded Chong Lou for being stingy, and then flew his sword back to Shushan with Jingtian, which took more than half a day.

With the Demon-Locking Tower repaired, the biggest crisis in Shushan for hundreds of years was quelled, and the whole sect was peaceful.

Li Xiaoyao and others took the opportunity to propose to join the Shushan Sect to learn sword skills and Daoist methods.

Because they had contributed to collecting the five spirit beads, the two sect leaders, Qingwei and the Sword Saint, nodded in agreement.

Late that night.

Shushan Sect Leader Qingwei and the four elders, plus Immortal Sword Sect Leader Dugu Sword Saint and the Wine Sword Immortal, seven people in total, discussed the future survival of Shushan in the Ancestor Hall.

Whether it was the Jiang Ming chaos decades ago or the Demon-Locking Tower disaster today, they realized that Shushan could not go on like this.

Dugu Sword Saint took the lead in proposing the suggestion of merging the sword and qi sects to establish the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect.

Qingwei was moved by the Sword Saint's determination and agreed to this suggestion without hesitation.

With the two sect leaders making the decision, the suggestions of others were not so important. After all, no one dared to defy the decisions of the two sect leaders at the same time, so the merger of the Shushan sword and qi sects became a nailed-down matter.

However, things were not all smooth sailing.

"Who should serve as the sect leader of the merged Shushan Sect?"

"There can't be two sect leaders at the same time, right?"

The question raised by the Wine Sword Immortal made everyone fall into silence.

It wasn't that others hadn't thought about it, but they felt it wasn't suitable to discuss this issue now because it was too sensitive. If they were not careful, the consensus reached with great difficulty tonight would be destroyed.

Everyone in the hall cherished this opportunity.

After a while, Qingwei laughed loudly, "Since Sword Saint Junior Brother can put aside past grievances and propose the suggestion of merging Shushan, I should naturally respond. The position of sect leader after the merger will be held by Sword Saint Junior Brother!"

Canggu, Jingming, and other elders shouted in unison, "Sect Leader, think twice!"

Qingwei shook his head, "My mind is made up, you juniors don't need to say more."

Canggu sighed and turned away, saying no more.

The Sword Saint stared at Qingwei and said, "Senior Brother doesn't need to be like this."

Qingwei smiled, "It's not that I am deliberately giving the position of sect leader to Junior Brother, but I am already old. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I have no hope of becoming an immortal in this life. It's time to unload the burden and have a good rest."

The Sword Saint was stunned and speechless.

When he was still an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, Qingwei was already the Sect Leader of the Qi Sect. The two called each other senior and junior brothers, but it was because of the Jiang Ming chaos back then that the Sword Saint sat in the position of sect leader early, so they were peers.

Qingwei's age was indeed at the point where he could ascend at any time.

Qingwei continued to persuade, "Junior Brother's Sword Saint reputation is much more powerful than this old man's. Shushan can only go further under your protection in the future."

When things reached this point, everyone thought the Sword Saint would agree, but he still shook his head.

Now even the Wine Sword Immortal couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, saying bluntly, "Senior Brother, what kind of act is this? You've always been straightforward, why are you so mother-in-law today?"

Seeing everyone's gaze gathered on him, the Sword Saint's mouth curled into a smile, explaining, "The two sects merge, and the future Shushan will be a brand new sect. Since it is a new sect, there should be a new atmosphere. None of us old guys are suitable to be the sect leader of the new sect."

The Wine Sword Immortal showed a strange expression, joking, "You don't want to be it, he doesn't want to be it, could it be that I should be it? Or should I let Xu Changqing or that kid Chu Yang..."

Speaking of this, the Wine Sword Immortal's voice stopped abruptly, and he turned his head sharply, looking at the Sword Saint in shock.

The Sword Saint laughed loudly, "What? That kid can't be the Shushan Sect Leader?"

For a time, the sound of gasping in the Ancestor Hall was endless! Qingwei frowned and fell into deep thought.

"He can! Of course he can!" The Wine Sword Immortal hurriedly took out a new wine gourd and fed it to his mouth, gulping down several mouthfuls, and let out a long breath.

Sword Saint Senior Brother's drunken madness is even more powerful than mine!

Canggu hesitated, "Will it be too risky? A-Yang's past life might be..."

The Sword Saint said calmly, "I can't control who his past life was, but in this life, he is a Shushan disciple. As long as he is not expelled from the sect, he will be a Shushan disciple for the rest of his life!"
