Lu Zhaozhao held the seal tightly in her hand, and she looked deeply at Yun Xian's back.

They had been master and disciple for many years, but the two had met only a few times. Now that she thought about it, she realized that they had only met a few more times after Nian Zhi came.

How could Lu Zhaozhao in the original book fall so deeply in love even though they had only met a few times?

It was not until now that she understood a little bit. Perhaps from the very beginning, all her emotions were out of jealousy, not because her original self lacked this emotion, so when facing Ying Che or even Yun Xian, she would lack that part of emotion.

After figuring it out, Lu Zhaozhao didn't say much. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards Yun Xian in front of her, but it only lasted for a moment.

She turned and left, holding the seal.

After she left, the stone door closed again, separating the two worlds.

When Ying Che saw her come out, he immediately stepped forward, grasped her arm, and anxiously asked, "Did Master say anything? Did you explain to him that what he said just now wasn't genuine?"

Lu Zhaozhao slowly raised her head and looked at Ying Che quietly. Only after she saw Ying Che look away uncomfortably did she slowly spread out her palms.

"This is... the seal of the headmaster!"

Ying Che exclaimed, he shook Lu Zhaozhao's arm unconsciously, his tone full of disbelief.

"How did this thing end up in your hands? Did Master give it to you? What did you talk about in there?"

Ying Che is now extremely anxious and wants to know what exactly happened.

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, organized her words, and said to Ying Che, "Master has decided to abdicate. All matters within the sect will be decided by you and me, and all matters outside the sect will be decided by me and the elders."

Ying Che was struck by lightning. He was a man who attached great importance to etiquette and law. That was why, in the book, both he and Yun Xian fell in love with Nian Zhi, but they still observed all the necessary etiquette.

"Zhao Zhao, tell me the truth, what exactly is going on? Why did Master suddenly, suddenly..."

He couldn't continue speaking and just stared at Lu Zhaozhao with an eager look.

"Brother, the most urgent task is to rectify the sect, not to grieve here."

Lu Zhaozhao brushed away Ying Che's hand and walked forward without looking back.

"I still have to discuss the follow-up matters with Elder Cang Jiong, so please come over as soon as possible, Senior Brother."

After leaving these words, Lu Zhaozhao turned a corner and disappeared at the end of the road.

Although the news of Yun Xian's abdication caused a sensation within the sect, he had not dealt with affairs for a long time, so everyone accepted it quite quickly.

Lu Zhaozhao first joined forces with Ying Che to deal with the accumulated affairs in the sect one by one, swept away the unhealthy atmosphere at all levels, and reorganized the system within the academy. Fortunately, the foundation of Emperor Huizong of Qing was still there, and it was only a matter of time before it could revive.

But now, the more important thing is the problem outside.

Demons from the west invaded, and when Emperor Huizong of Qing was in depression, the capital city, which was originally under the protection of the sect, suffered a great blow. The most urgent task was to deal with these things first.

She and Elder Cang Jiong had a preliminary discussion and decided to send an advance team, led by a disciple with high cultivation, to first eliminate the demons in the surrounding capital cities and restore peace to the people. Then they would establish a defense mechanism to completely cover the irradiated cities and isolate the demons.

Only after dealing with these things can we free up our hands to join other sects in resisting foreign enemies.

Flipping through the scroll in his hand and looking at the densely packed words on it, Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, there is really a long way to go."

After several days of treatment, Lu Zhaozhao appeared at the clan departure ceremony with a dark circle on his lower eyelid.

A team of disciples had been sent out previously, but word came back that there were many demons in the city and their cultivation was quite strong, so they could only temporarily establish a stronghold. If they wanted to completely drive them out, they would need support from the sect.

This matter originally fell on Ying Che's head, and he was supposed to lead the team. Unfortunately, some sects sent people to negotiate in the past two days. Ying Che had always been the one to handle such matters in the past, and he was indeed more familiar with the process. Therefore, the task of leading the team was given to Lu Zhaozhao.

Fortunately, after staying up all night these days, she had almost dealt with the internal affairs of the sect.

At this time, she was standing in front of a group of disciples, looking at Elder Cang Jiong who was constantly giving instructions. She yawned continuously and couldn't help but want to lie down and take a nap on the spot.

It is said that worldly things affect cultivation. Lu Zhaozhao didn't feel it before, but after experiencing this period of time, she truly understood the meaning of this sentence. These days, she really couldn't spare any time to practice. Even if she split a quarter of an hour into two, she always felt that there was not enough time.

"Okay, I won't say much. Zhao Zhao, now that this important task has been entrusted to you, you must be cautious and not be extreme."

Cang Jiong was familiar with Lu Zhaozhao's style of doing things. She was a gambler and liked to make a small investment for a big return. She would use the lowest price to get the most valuable things. This approach could not be said to be wrong, and sometimes it could even bring unexpected results, but it was not what a leader should do in a team.

Therefore, before leaving, he worriedly reminded her several times, although it seemed that she might not have listened.

After he finished speaking, Lu Zhaozhao drew his sword, pointed it directly at the Heavenly Gate, and said to the disciples behind him: "This journey will be difficult and dangerous. If you have any concerns, you can withdraw on your own. I will not hold it against you."

The disciples behind him said in unison: "We are willing to follow Senior Sister and slay the evil spirits with all our might. We will never return home until we achieve victory!"

Lu Zhaozhao smiled ostentatiously and shouted cheerfully, "Okay! Let's go!"

Everyone was in high spirits. Lu Zhaozhao looked at the atmosphere with satisfaction. This was exactly the effect she wanted.

It is right to give careful instructions, but in a world like this, young people should be more motivated, lead the thunder, and break all evil.

The group quickly arrived in Pingyang and contacted the advance personnel stationed in the city.

A slightly older disciple with a cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage came hurriedly. His body was still covered in blood, and he must have just experienced a fierce battle.

"Disciple Qi Lin greets Senior Sister Lu!"

His tone was sonorous and powerful. Lu Zhaozhao quickly helped him up and asked about the situation.

"I led my disciples to garrison Pingyang. The remaining five cities are filled with demons. There are too many of them, and their cultivation is not shallow. We simply cannot conquer them."

When saying this, Qi Lin's eyes were filled with resentment.

Lu Zhaozhao first comforted him, and then asked: "Who is the leader of the demons here?"

"I heard it's a demon creature originally from a swan girl. It's good at seduction and can bewitch people. Its cultivation is higher than mine, probably in the out-of-body realm."

Qi Lin told Lu Zhaozhao everything he knew, and she lowered her eyes in deep thought.

The swan, also known as the crane, is said to like to disguise itself as a woman. Men who meet one by chance will be bewitched by it and become addicted to it all day long until their energy is drained away.

This charm made Lu Zhaozhao think of another person.

Nan Rongrui of the Guhuo Bird Clan is also good at calligraphy that controls the mind.

They are both from the Feather Clan, so is there any connection between these two people?

It’s impossible to come up with anything just by thinking about it here, so Lu Zhaozhao decided to give it a try first.

As luck would have it, a disciple came hurriedly, saying that he was in a hurry to report.

"Sister Hu has issued a challenge to you. We will meet in front of Pingyang City in three days. If you win, she will lead her troops out of Qinghui territory. If you lose..."

The disciple was stuck, and Qi Lin couldn't help but urge him. He finally said intermittently: "If you lose, she said she would behead this person and hang his head on the city gate, and then eat his body and send it back to Qinghui."

"How presumptuous!"

Before Lu Zhaozhao could express her opinion, the people around her were filled with righteous indignation and started cursing.

Qi Lin was also filled with anger. He said to Lu Zhaozhao: "Senior Sister, this must be a trap set by that witch. You can't agree to it."

"Yes, yes." The people around echoed.

Lu Zhaozhao knew very well that there was something fishy about this trip, but this was the fastest and most effective way. Hu Nu saw that Qing Hui wanted to make a quick victory and regroup, otherwise he would only be gradually eroded.

What's more, if they win, it will surely inspire people and make other sects change their views on Emperor Huizong of Qing.

Lu Zhaozhao could not refuse such a battle offer.

She looked around at the disciples and became confused.

Ying Che had always been the team leader, but she was replaced at the last minute. Besides, her whereabouts had always been kept secret, and few people in the sect knew when the team set out and when it arrived.

Why did Hu Nu ask to fight her by name as soon as she arrived?

Could it be that... there is a spy within the Qing Huizong clan?

She thought for a moment.

So, he took the urgent report and said to the disciple who came to report it amid everyone's anxious dissuasion.

"Tell the messenger that I accept this appointment."
