Rebirth Against Heaven [Cultivation]

To say that the most outstanding young talents in today's Taoist world, the Taoist cultivators of the decent sect may not know enough, but every time the Taoist cultivators of the evil sect talk about this matter, they will inevitably mention the name Qin Zhan.

Who is Qin Zhan?He is the tenth generation lord of Hades Palace, and also the youngest lord when he succeeds to the throne.

The Pluto Palace is one of the three evil sects of Taoism. Many Taoist cultivators seek to enter the sect, and now under Qin Zhan's control, there is a faint tendency to become the head of the three evil sects.

When Qin Zhan was 15 years old, due to the sudden death of his father Qin Yue, he succeeded to the position of palace lord hastily.

Although the position of the lord of the Hades Palace must abide by the rules of succession from father to son, and only the direct descendants of the Qin family can inherit the position of lord, but how can a mere young man be able to convince the public?

Headed by the ambitious right envoy Chang Fei at the time, all the disciples respected Qin Zhan as the master on the surface, but secretly they were slowly evading Qin Zhan's power.

It's just that Qin Zhan was very scheming and remained calm on the surface. He only gave a few words of reprimand and mild punishment to everyone's obedience and disobedience, which lured everyone into becoming more bold and presumptuous.

However, Qin Zhan secretly recorded the names and identities of these people one by one, and slowly used superb methods that no one noticed, making these people suspicious of each other, harboring ghosts, and finally killed each other in order to fight for power and profit.

Only three years later, on a snowy night, Qin Zhan, who had just passed his birthday, wiped out all the opposing forces in the palace at one stroke, and killed all those who harbored dissenting intentions, especially Chang Fei, the original right envoy who was the culprit. , and even executed the death penalty in front of everyone. The scene was extremely bloody, and everyone was so frightened on the spot that they fell silent. No one dared to change their minds from then on.

Since then, Qin Zhan has been truly arbitrary in Hades Palace, saying what he says is the same, everyone in the palace obeys the order, and no one dares to protest.

Except for the former Zuo envoy Lin Yan who had always supported him sincerely and was honored as an elder by him, almost ten of the other important figures and subordinates died in this big purge.

There were nearly 3000 disciples in Hades Palace, but after this incident, there were less than [-] left.

The other Taoist sects originally speculated whether the Pluto Palace would collapse and completely fall out of the ranking of the three evil sects, but Qin Zhan immediately promoted Mu Yu and Shen Mingda, his confidants who grew up together, as the new second envoys , and appointed the remaining vacant positions one by one.

After that, new disciples were slowly recruited, but within a year or two, Hades Palace was already a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

The 20-year-old Qin Zhan is already the leader of one of the three evil sects of Taoism. He has completely become one of the leaders who can shake the wind and rain in the Taoism world.

Although Qin Zhan's words and deeds have attracted the attention of all, but he seems to be only dealing with affairs in the Hades Palace, and has not communicated with other sects outside, and he is in peace with the three decent sects for the time being.

In addition to Qin Zhan, another outstanding young talent in the Taoist sect is a woman, and she is Huayu, the sixth generation head of the Xuanyin sect.

The Xuanyin sect's history is not as long as that of Hades Palace, but it can be ranked among the three evil sects, which is extraordinary.

The activities of the Xuanyin School have always been mysterious and unpredictable, so there is not much information about Huayu leaked out. We only know that she is the only daughter of Huafu, the fifth generation leader. Huafu died when she was 11 years old. With the support of her succession as the head of the sect, there were quite a few twists and turns at the beginning, but after five or six years passed, those who opposed her died and fell ill, and gradually they also took the position of the head of the sect firmly.

Some people suspect that the Xuanyin Sect also experienced a secret cleansing, but it was not on the bright side like Hades Palace.

Some people also said that Qin Yue, the former lord of the Hades Palace, and Hua Maung, the former head of the Xuanyin Sect, died on the same day. I am afraid that the two have something to do with each other. Will Qin Zhan and Huayu fight because of their parents' enmity?

Some people also said that Huayu was able to successfully secure the position of head of the faction at the young age of more than ten years. In fact, someone had been secretly helping him, but that person had never appeared in front of others, and his identity was unknown.

Some people suspected that that person might be Huafu's real brother, because the Xuanyin sect respected women, and the head of the sect gave priority to female successors, so Huafu's brother, being a man, could not be the head of the sect himself, so he supported his niece as a bright face As the head of the school, he hides behind the scenes and controls the entire Xuanyin faction.

Of course, no one would have guessed that the mysterious person who secretly helped Huayu was actually Qin Zhan.

Because Qin Zhan and Hua Yu are brothers and sisters of the same mother.

Their father is Qin Yue, the ninth generation head of Hades Palace, and their mother is Hua Mau, the fifth generation head of Xuanyin Sect.

Because Qinyue and Huamao are the leaders of one faction, although they have personal relationships, they cannot give up their responsibilities. Therefore, Qin Zhan and Huayu have been separated from each other since they were young. One takes their father's surname and the other takes their mother's surname. .

The personal relationship between Qin Yue and Hua Maung is also extremely secret, only a very small number of confidants know about it.Outsiders only know that Qin Zhan's biological father is Qin Yue, but they don't know that Qin Zhan's biological mother is Huamao; at the same time, outsiders only know that Huayu is Huamao's daughter, but they don't know who her biological father is.

Therefore, outsiders would not have expected that Qin Zhan and Huayu would be brothers and sisters, because in front of outsiders, Qin Zhan and Huayu's attitude towards each other was really cold and alienated, as if it was just an ordinary friendship between the two masters. Bad, lukewarm.

In the words of Shen Mingda, the new envoy of Pluto Palace, it is - "Our Palace Master's hole card, naturally there is no need to let those irrelevant people know."

The Hades Palace has always been located in the Nether City. The terrain is relatively high, standing tall and majestic, it is magnificent, and it is already awe-inspiring when viewed from a distance.

The climate in the palace is warm and pleasant, with spring flowers blooming all year round, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the beautiful scenery is like a colorful and eye-catching picture scroll, which is not only luxurious and elegant, but also bright and gorgeous.

Zou Tao, the master of the Linlang Pavilion, stood sweating profusely outside the Qingwei Hall located in the center of the Hades Palace. Although he had been waiting for more than two hours in vain, he couldn't even drink a sip of water, but he didn't dare to have a look on his face. There was no expression of dissatisfaction, but only trembling, as if waiting for the fate to come.

If an outsider passes by here and recognizes that the person standing outside the hall is actually the master of Linlang Pavilion, he will definitely be surprised—because Linlang Pavilion is also a well-known sect in the world of Taoism, although it is not as good as the six major sects of Taoism. The sect is so famous, but there are also many masters in the sect, which should not be underestimated.

What's more, Linlang Pavilion is different in that it is very rich and very profitable. As the name suggests, there are countless priceless and rare treasures hidden in the pie.

As the saying goes, money is not everything, but money is absolutely impossible.

However, for those who practice Taoism, the so-called "money" is not ordinary gold and silver objects in the world, but spiritual stones.

Lingshi is an ore that contains aura, and it is also one of the necessary items for cultivators to use daily. It has a wide range of uses. It can be used to refine magic weapons, elixir and spells, and even directly absorb the aura contained in it. Used to improve cultivation.

It is also because of its wide range of uses, so when most Taoists conduct trade, if they do not have items of the same value, they will directly exchange them with spirit stones of equivalent value.

Since there is a transaction, there will be shrewd people who buy at a low price and sell at a high price, because the value of an item depends largely on the mentality of the buyer and the seller, whether they are eager to sell, and whether they are eager for what they want.

And Linlang Pavilion is famous for its very shrewd means of making money, as well as the countless treasures in the pavilion.Some people say that the number of treasures owned by Linlang Pavilion is probably higher than that of any of the six major sects of Taoism.

And every year, Linlang Pavilion will hold a treasure auction, inviting all Taoist cultivators in the world to come to participate, no matter whether they are decent or evil, they will be treated equally.

Therefore, Linlang Pavilion is also a rare neutral Taoist sect, neither belonging to the righteous way nor to the evil sect.

It has always been rumored that the master of the Linlang Pavilion is arrogant, has a high self-esteem, and never pretends to anyone, but at this time, this person who is standing submissively outside the Qingwei Hall waiting for orders is not the master of the Linlang Pavilion, Zou Tao. who?

Suddenly there was only a sound of "squeak", the main door of the main hall finally opened slowly, and a tall and straight purple figure walked out of it. Zou Tao was shocked immediately, and before he had time to see the opposite side's face clearly, he hastily bowed his head and bowed respectfully. He kowtowed and saluted, and said: "My subordinate Zou Tao will meet with the Palace Master, may the Palace Master enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as the heavens!"

All of a sudden, someone chuckled: "Governor Zou, even I don't recognize him? This is a great gift to meet the palace master, Shen does not dare to accept it."

Zou Tao was stunned, and still bowed down on the ground, but immediately changed his words: "My subordinates will see Shen Yueshi!"

Shen Mingda smiled faintly again, and waved his hands: "Get up."

Zou Tao just raised his head and stood up, only to see that Shen Mingda's face turned cold for a moment, there was a faint cloud of clouds between his brows, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with the income you submitted this year? It's not as good as last year's seven Success. If you want to be lazy and play tricks, and deceive others, there are many people vying for the position of Pavilion Master Linlang Pavilion."

Zou Tao hastily argued in panic: "Emissary Shen Yue, please calm down. This subordinate will never dare to be lazy and play tricks, and do anything to deceive Palace Master and Envoy Shen Yue! This year's income is not as good as in previous years. In other words, there was a huge loss in a transaction last month. If it weren't for this, this year's profit should have been [-]% more than last year."

"Is that so?" After hearing this, Shen Mingda said in a neutral tone, "Who could have fooled you, an old fox?"

"That man really has ulterior motives. He has been buried by his subordinates for five full years, and he has tried his best to deceive his trust. Because he has completed the few transactions that his subordinates entrusted to him before, with no flaws. I made hundreds of thousands of Lingshi more than usual. Therefore, my subordinates never thought that Lu Ren would be a spy sent by Langya Valley!"

"Oh?" Shen Mingda raised his eyebrows with interest. "How do you know he is from Langye Valley?"

Zou Tao wiped off his sweat, and continued: "This subordinate found the token with the seal of Langye Valley from the dark cabinet in his room."

Shen Mingda shook his head lightly, tapped his chin lightly with the folding fan in his hand, and said: "Just a token can't explain anything."

Zou Tao couldn't help wiping his sweat again, and lowered his head, he said: "The subordinates have already captured him, but no matter how severe the torture, this person just kept repeating the phrase 'Langxie Valley will definitely avenge me' .The subordinates have brought this person to the palace, and let the Palace Master and Shen Yue envoy deal with him."

"Your attitude of making meritorious deeds is not bad." Shen Mingda stopped speaking, and saw that Zou Tao's face was full of fear and uneasiness, so he chuckled lightly, and said with restraint, "Today is also your luck. , the palace lord happened to be out on business, so he didn't have the time to argue with you carefully. Before leaving, he only left one sentence: If you can find out who the mastermind behind this person is, you will be allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. However, next year, you must make up for the lost income this year. Get double, you know?"

Shen Mingda glanced at Zou Tao's slightly pale face, and said leisurely: "If you can't do it, then you don't have to continue to be the master of Linlang Pavilion."

Zou Tao gritted his teeth, bowed his head and knelt down to accept the order: "Yes! This subordinate will obey the palace lord's orders, and will never dare to disappoint the palace lord again!"

After completing the promise, Zou Tao turned to Shen Mingda again, "Envoy Shen Yue, my subordinate..."

"Get up, Pavilion Master Zou." Shen Mingda interrupted him with a chuckle, "Since you are still the Pavilion Master of Linlang Pavilion, the Palace Master has already ordered that you only need to kneel down to the Palace Master, and there is no need to bow down to other people. "

Having said that, Zou Tao stood up cautiously, still bowed his head, and said: "Interrogating Lu Ren, my subordinates know that they have little talent and learning, and Envoy Shen Yue has always been resourceful and resourceful, and I hope that envoy Shen Yue can spare time , to guide the maze for the subordinates."

Shen Mingda nodded lightly: "Forget it, if the matter involves Langye Valley, I'd be quite interested in meeting this Lu Ren."

After all, Zou Tao is the leader of a faction. Although he was in fear of Qin Zhan all day long, now because of Qin Zhan's absence and the punishment has been decided, he gradually calmed down.

He unconsciously said: "Palace master...it is rare to go out at this time." As if he finally came to his senses at this time, after thinking about it, surprise slowly came to his mind.

Shen Mingda glanced at him, because Zou Tao is also one of Qin Zhan's confidantes, otherwise Qin Zhan would not have handed over such a large Linlang Pavilion to Zou Tao to be the master, and this matter is not a top secret, so Shen Mingda has nothing to hide . "The palace master has gone out to hunt down a treacherous traitor. That man's name is Tong Zheng, the former master of Kaiyang altar, you know him too."

In the Pluto Palace, just under the position of the Sun and Moon Envoys are the Seven Altars, named after the Big Dipper.

Zou Taowu was surprised: "It's just to hunt down the rebels, why do you need the Lord of the Labor Palace to do it yourself?"

"The palace lord said that he hasn't been out for a long time, and he just wanted to exercise his muscles and bones, and ordered me and Mu Yu not to follow." Shen Mingda looked calm and composed, "But with the thunderous method of the palace lord, I'm afraid that Tong Zheng will Next time, I have to experience what is called hell on earth.”

At the end of Shen Mingda's speech, he seemed to sigh imperceptibly, and there seemed to be a trace of pity on his face.

However, Zou Tao knows that Shen Mingda is a person who hides a knife in a smile. He always has a smile on his face, but his methods are ruthless and decisive, leaving no room for trouble.

Therefore, Zou Tao wisely kept quiet about Shen Mingda's hypocritical gesture of compassion.

And while Shen Mingda was talking with Zou Tao, in Xinghua Valley thousands of miles away, a seriously injured man fell to the ground with a "plop" and was trapped in a huge silk net. , his limbs were firmly bound by slender and transparent ropes like spider silk, and his messy and torn robe had already been stained by blood and mud so that the original color could hardly be seen, only a faint purple was faintly visible.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, and he should have been in the prime of life, but at this moment he looked haggard, his body was haggard, and his face was ashes.

The man was surrounded by crowds in all directions, there were more than [-] people in total, although each of them stood several feet away from the man, they completely blocked all the escape routes of the man.

At this time, the man standing directly in front of the man was a tall and handsome young man who looked like a twig of a jade tree. He wore a deep purple robe with intricate and gorgeous patterns, and his face was covered with a red gold mask. There are also very delicate and gorgeous dark patterns, only revealing two eyebrows and a pair of eyes.

Although the eyebrows are of appropriate shade, slender to the temples, very beautiful, but they are not different from ordinary people, but the eyes are dark and dark like two pure obsidian, unfathomable, difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger, making people feel sad. People can't help but tremble when they look at it, and dare not look any more.

And although the young man is just standing with his hands behind his back seemingly casually, his aura around him is like a thousand thousand glaciers and a thousand snow peaks. That power is really unstoppable, like an invisible sharp sword with a sharp edge, it is shocking to the mind. So he knelt down on the ground and worshiped him.

The young man's eyes lightly fell on the seriously injured man, but his eyebrows did not move, and his tone was cold and indifferent: "Do you still want to escape?"
