Chapter 194 Taking Charge of Yue
The war in Jinguyuan, which had lasted for many years, came to a temporary end with the order from the old demon Hehuan.

The six sects of the Yue Kingdom were undoubtedly the most confused. They defeated the six evil sects without any clue?

Seeing the situation develop into its current form, the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance flew towards Fengdu Kingdom with shocked expressions and hurriedly reported to Master Zhiyang.

Qi Yuan narrowed his dark eyes. He knew that the six sects of the Demonic Path were only temporarily retreating, and there would be more tentative moves later...

He threw two high-quality pills into his mouth to refine them, then raised his hand to summon the cold dragon back.

The cold dragon raised its head and roared, then flew into the spirit beast bag like the wind and clouds, swallowed the reward of the elixir, and went to sleep.

If he can transform into a dragon one day, he will be a capable assistant to Qi Yuan, so of course he will be more attentive in his training.

At this moment Feng Xi turned back into human form, flew to Qi Yuan very tactfully, and waited quietly.

Facing the enthusiastic gazes of Patriarch Linghu, Lin Weixue, Old Monster Qiong and others.

Qi Yuan's figure slowly descended, and then he smiled and bowed to Hong Fu, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

This move undoubtedly raised Hongfu's reputation to a higher level, making her cold and tender face look rosy and a little embarrassing, like a pretty girl in spring.

Quite beautiful and unparalleled.

It turns out that he is from Huangfeng Valley.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from the six sects all had different expressions on their faces, with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes, wondering why there wasn't a person like this among their own disciples?
"You are so frivolous. I will teach you a lesson when I get back."

Hong Fu cleared her throat, her eyes were fierce and her voice was gentle. She tucked a few strands of hair on the side and raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a smug smile.

Her traitor saved the Kingdom of Yue, gained such great glory, and was the first to show respect to his teacher. Fang was naturally very happy.

Elder Linghu stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Qi is also a disciple of my Yellow Maple Valley. However, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the six sects."

Although Qi Yuan is a disciple of Huangfeng Valley, if he takes his status as a sign of respect for others, his path will be narrow.

With his powerful cultivation, traveling in Tiannan will be extremely smooth. On the contrary, it is Huang Fenggu who should curry favor with Qi Yuan.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Yue is in urgent need of a strong man who can compete with the three great cultivators, so the attitude towards Qi Yuan cannot be neglected.

"As a disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley of Yue State, I should have the responsibility to protect it."

Qi Yuan looked at the other person and spoke righteously.

Everyone present was an old fox, so they just listened to what he said, but they were wondering what Qi Yuan was up to.
At this time, Nangong Wan, who was wearing a crescent-shaped white dress, was charming, her red lips were lightly closed, and she said with a sweet breath:
"I have a suggestion. Yue is currently poor and weak and has no backbone. Why not let Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan be our leader and take charge of Yue? Although the six sects of the Demonic Path have retreated today, it does not mean that they will not make a comeback. I believe that you all understand the pros and cons of this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yuanying stage cultivators from the six sects fell into deep thought, their eyes flickering, and they were obviously calculating the benefits.

Lin Weixue, the great elder of Yanyue Sect, was dressed in white and had a slender figure. She had always known that Junior Sister Nangong would not get involved in such matters, so why did she take the initiative to speak today?
Moreover, that person is very powerful, but he is not a disciple of Yanyue Sect. Once Qi Yuan takes charge of Yue Kingdom, won’t Huangfeng Valley be in power in the future?
Previously, the Yanyue Sect had three Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Huangfeng Valley had only two, so the former had the upper hand in terms of the right to speak.

Now, if Qi Yuan, a man of mysterious origin, suddenly joins the party and also has the identity of Huangfeng Valley and takes charge of Yue State, it will indeed interfere with the development of Yanyue Sect.

Of course, Lin Weixue also hoped that a strong man would lead Yue Kingdom out of its predicament...

Because from the map of Tiannan, Yue State is a piece of lean meat sandwiched by four major forces, and anyone has the qualification to stick a chopstick in it.

The location is very dangerous.

After hearing this, Elder Linghu's cloudy eyes turned around countless times. Qi Yuan was Junior Sister Hongfu's apprentice, so in terms of relationship, they were of the same lineage.

If he were to take charge of Yue State again, it would definitely be a very good thing for the situation of Huangfeng Valley...

The old man said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Nangong is right. I agree with this proposal."

Hong Fu: "I also support Fellow Daoist Nangong's proposal."

Lin Weixue's expression was solemn, her eyes flickered, and her heart was wavering. Suddenly, she received a message from Junior Sister Nangong. She was surprised and happy. She pursed her lips and said, "Junior Sister's proposal is in line with the current situation of Yue State, so I agree."

As for Old Monster Qiong, he pulled off the green cloth bag from his waist, took out a fragrant beggar's chicken from it, and started eating it without caring about the occasion, mumbling...

It all depends on the two junior sisters.

The two giants headed by the six sects of Yue State have already reached an agreement, and the rest of the Qingxu Sect, Huadaowu Sect, and Jujian Sect have nothing to say.

In the long run, this will do them more good than harm.

Then a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators turned and stared at Qi Yuan. After all, this matter required the other party's consent.

Qi Yuan's face straightened and he uttered some humble words of refusal.

Then Nangong Wan stepped forward to smooth things over.

He declined once or twice, but finally agreed reluctantly to serve as the ruler of Yue State.

After all, there is the story of the emperor declining three times.

...

A new leader has appeared in the Kingdom of Yue. It is only reasonable and logical to inform the Nine-Nation Alliance, the Righteous Alliance, the Demonic Alliance, and the Heavenly Alliance.

But the State of Yue remained the same and did not change its name to some alliance name.

Qi Yuan felt that, firstly, he had not advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage, secondly, he had only fought one battle with the old demon Hehuan, and thirdly, the strength of the Yue Kingdom was indeed not impressive.

So the name change was suppressed.

Maintain the status quo for now.

Fengdu Kingdom and Taizhen Gate.

On a dangerous peak that pierces the sky, Master Zhiyang, the supreme elder of Taizhen Sect and the ruler of Zhengdao Sect, is sitting upright on a cushion with his eyes slightly closed, breathing in and out, inhaling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Although he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, thanks to the Taoist health-preserving methods, his spirit is as that of a young man in his twenties.

He is full of energy, holds his head high and shows no sign of old age.

Suddenly, a young monk wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a sword behind him came flying through the clouds and mist.

The light dimmed and the figure landed near Master Zhiyang.

The young man in Taoist robes took out a letter from his bosom, raised it with both hands respectfully, and said: "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the invasion of Yue State by the six sects of the Demonic Path failed, and a new ruler has appeared in Yue State."

Hearing this,

Master Zhiyang slowly finished his practice, absorbed the last bit of spiritual energy, then slowly opened his eyes, moved his fingers slightly, a ray of sword light floated out, and rolled the letter over.

The process of finishing the exercise takes half an incense stick of time.

The young man in Taoist robe then slowly retreated and left the mountain.

Three or five snow-white cranes flew by gracefully.

Master Zhiyang opened the letter and read it quickly, then muttered to himself, "Interesting, it can actually perfectly restrain the devil, the old devil Hehuan deserved his defeat."

If a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage draws with one in the early Nascent Soul stage, it means that the old demon Hehuan has lost.

The letter flew away with the wind and burst into flames for no apparent reason.

Master Zhiyang shook his Taoist robe and flashed into the cave.

Tianluo Country, Hehuan Sect. Because of the active retreat of the old demon Hehuan, the Yuanying stage who came to discuss the matter all showed signs of low spirits.

The old demon Hehuan is wearing a black robe and has the face of a middle-aged man. He looks quite resolute, but also gives people a creepy feeling, which easily makes people feel terrified.

Although he agreed to retreat and cede Jiang State to Qi Yuan, it did not mean that the matter would end there.

The purpose of gathering people from various sects this time is to discuss the next steps.

Six major sects are crowded in one country. No matter how abundant the original resources are, it will be difficult to increase the supply as time goes by.

Therefore, expanding territory is imperative.

Otherwise, one day the six sects of the devil will fight against each other and suffer serious damage.

At this time, a demon disciple walked in and said with a bow, "My lords, a new ruler was born in Yue State just now."

"What? Is this true or false..."

"Who dares to raise the banner in the barren land of Yue State?"

"It can't be that person."

A group of demon elders were discussing at once.

Hearing this, the old demon He Huan's face darkened, and he released a terrifying pressure, shocking everyone, and said without emotion: "What are you arguing about? Let's continue discussing the matter."

Tiandao League and Luanming Sect.

In a secret room, two people in the middle stage of Nascent Soul were sitting cross-legged and practicing. Both the man and woman were middle-aged, with handsome and beautiful looks.

A sound transmission note quietly slipped into the secret room.

Long Han opened his eyes instantly, captured it casually, and probed with his spiritual sense to understand the contents inside.

After a while, he said in surprise: "Madam, this is too strange. Yue State actually has a new ruler, and he even fought a tie with the old demon Hehuan."

The beautiful woman in red next to her had light makeup on her face, and looked simple and virtuous. Her long black hair was piled high and fixed with an emerald green jade hairpin, revealing her slender swan neck, and her temperament was noble and dignified.

Feng Bing's beautiful eyes trembled, and then she said softly, "Only when my husband and I joined forces could we defeat a late Nascent Soul cultivator. Who is this new leader? How could he be able to defeat the old demon He Huan alone? Could it be that he is ready to enter the late Nascent Soul stage?"

"Hehe, Madam, you guessed wrong. This new ruler is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. He seems to possess some kind of spiritual body, so he can greatly restrain the devil, and is able to tie with the old devil Hehuan."

Long Han held the sound transmission talisman and said in amazement.

Because the couple practiced the secret method of dual cultivation, they had a tacit understanding with each other. In addition, their cultivation had reached the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, so they were able to check and balance the great cultivator together.

Now that there is another dark horse, the interest is naturally quite high.

Feng Bing said softly: "The Tiandao League is the weakest. If they can be on good terms with the ruler of Yue State, it would be a good thing. After all, both sides are the weaker party and it is easy for them to resonate emotionally."

"Then I'll ask him to come over and have a chat." Long Han took out another sound transmission talisman, recited a few words silently, and threw it out instantly.

Feng Bing nodded slightly and said, "Alright, the sect's Luanfeng Secret Realm will be open soon, so it's a good opportunity to invite new friends to observe."

Nine Nations Alliance, Huayi Sect.

This place is adjacent to the Mulan grassland. Because the Mulan people have been invading Fengyuan State, Yu State and other places for many years, the monks who walk around here all have a murderous aura.

The sense of vigilance will be much heavier than in other places.

Wei Wuya is dressed in green, and looks like an old man in his fifties. He practices poison skills, so his temperament is a bit gloomy, but he is relatively open-minded and broad-minded.

When he heard about the affairs of the State of Yue, he just smiled and did not make a fuss about the restraint.

He just gave the order that if Qi Yuan came to the Nine-Nation Alliance, he should be informed so that he could meet the man who had humiliated the old demon Hehuan.

As the news of the retreat of the old demon Hehuan spread throughout Tiannan, Qi Yuan gradually became the focus of discussion among the cultivators after dinner.

Almost all Nascent Soul cultivators knew of his existence.

Yue country.

Yellow Maple Valley.

Qi Yuan returned to the valley and was warmly welcomed again.

The leader Huang Baitian quickly handed the token he had left behind back to Qi Yuan, and quickly said that he was short-sighted and could not recognize the great man.

Regarding this matter, Qi Yuan just smiled and let it go.

Elder Linghu smiled and said, "I dare to call Fellow Daoist Qi my Junior Brother. I see that my disciple Chen Qiaoqian has good talent and would like to take her in as my disciple. I wonder if Junior Brother Qi would agree?"

This old thief was too quick in getting close to others.

However, Patriarch Linghu has several valuable treasures on him, and it is a good thing that Senior Sister Qiaoqian will inherit his mantle in the future.

Having a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to guide you would make the path of cultivation much easier.

Qi Yuan said, "We need to ask Senior Sister Qiaoqian about this matter. Senior Brother Linghu, don't be too proud, lest your hopes are dashed."

"Now that my junior brother has spoken, I feel relieved."

Ancestor Linghu said with a harmless smile.

Qi Yuan exchanged a few words with Patriarch Linghu and then left. Then he followed Master Hongfu back to her cave.

He thought that after a while, he would refine the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng Pill, and then use the secret magic method to refine several Nascent Souls to increase their power.

At present, half of Yue State's resources have been drained by the Righteous Alliance. It would be unreasonable not to fight and get a few of them back.

Moreover, if I hadn't fought with Master Zhiyang for a few moves, I would have thought that he could only restrain the evil way and had no way against the righteous way.

If you don't beat both sides, what will you do if you are frightened by the invasion of good and evil when you are practicing dual cultivation?
Return to Hongfu’s cave.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but recall the past. It was said that the first stop for him to make a fortune was Hong Fu's cave. At that time, he bought a century-old elixir from Wanbao Tower and came to her excitedly.

It seemed as if he was still in the master's retreat room. He and Senior Sister Qiaoqian had been going crazy for a while, causing that special smell to be pickled into every brick.

"Why, now that you are the ruler of Yue State, you look down on Master's cave?"

Hong Fu saw Qi Yuan's strange look and sneered secretly.

Qi Yuan reached out and helped Hong Fu to the main seat, and said with a smile: "That was the case. Master's cave housed an important period of my life. I still dream of moving back to practice."

"Traitor, stop talking nonsense. You can come back to practice. If you continue to mess around, I will definitely clean up the mess."

Hongfu immediately understood the meaning and thought of the terrible situation that day. Her mature and pretty face suddenly turned cold.

Qi Yuan immediately pinched Hong Fu's shoulders and changed the subject, saying, "Last time, Master said he wanted to go to the Hehuan Sect to bring Senior Sister out. When do you want to leave?"

"Don't worry. You have just taken charge of Yue State and there are many things to deal with. Wait until you settle down before considering it."

Hongfu narrowed her beautiful eyes into slits as she enjoyed the service brought by the traitor.
