Why did he have to step into this muddy water?
This muddy water wasn't something he could get involved in.
But he still chose to do it. This was simply too careless!
If.
If he was given another chance, he wouldn't have chosen to step into this muddy water!
Damn it.
This was the so-called "there's a path to heaven, but you had to barge into hell".
He thought that he would be treated the same as his disciple, Tang San, but he didn't expect that there was such a difference in treatment.
His disciple left.
And he was still in the dungeon, being whipped. He was simply asking to be abused!
Extremely uncomfortable!
Looking at Yu Xiaogang who was beaten to his last breath, Hun Xiu said indifferently, "You're on your own now!"
Finished.
Hun Xiu released Liu Erlong's restraints and walked out of the dungeon. When he was completely out, Hun Xiu didn't forget to instruct, "Without my permission, no one is to see them!"
"Yes!"
The jailer quickly nodded.
After Liu Erlong was released, he quickly went to Yu Xiaogang's side and asked with concern, "Xiaogang, are you alright?"
Liu Erlong cried. She looked so pitiful!
"I'm fine …"
Yu Xiaogang still pretended to be strong.
"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine …"
Liu Erlong muttered. The stone in her heart finally fell. Previously, Yu Xiaogang screamed so miserably.
She really thought that Yu Xiaogang would be beaten to death. She was scared to death.
It was good that Yu Xiaogang didn't die.
As long as he didn't die.
It was just a superficial wound. He would definitely recover.
.....
One month later.
Yue Guan, who was sent out by Hun Xiu, finally returned to the Martial Spirit Palace. He brought back the item that Hun Xiu wanted. It was a Blue Silver Grass.
Moreover.
This wasn't an ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It was a Blue Silver Grass with intelligence. This Blue Silver Grass was controlled by Yue Guan using his soul power.
If his soul power was relaxed, this Blue Silver Grass would choose to escape.
Yue Guan respectfully said in front of Hun Xiu, "Your Holiness, I was fortunate to have completed my mission!"
"Very good!"
Hun Xiu stretched out his hand, and the Bluesilver Grass floating below Yue Guan's palm landed on Hun Xiu's palm.
When the Bluesilver Grass fell into Hun Xiu's hands, it tried to struggle.
However …
How could it possibly struggle in Hun Xiu's palm?
Even at its peak, it wouldn't have been able to struggle against Hun Xiu, not to mention that Ayin was just an ordinary Bluesilver Grass.
Right now, the biggest difference between Ayin and ordinary Bluesilver Grass was that Ayin still had spiritual intelligence, while ordinary Bluesilver Grass didn't have any.
"Yue Guan, you did well this time, right?"
"Thank you, Pope!"
Yue Guan hurriedly thanked him!
Now that Hun Xiu had come out of seclusion, the Martial Spirit Palace seemed to be ruled by two emperors!
However, everybody could see that the phenomenon of 'two emperors' was temporary. There could only be one pontiff of the Martial Spirit Palace in the future.
Who was it in the end?
No one could say for sure!
However …
In the Martial Spirit Palace, most of them chose to stand on Hun Xiu's side. After all, everyone knew that the master of the Martial Spirit Palace was surnamed Qian.
The high priest was not dead yet.
Moreover …
Now that Hun Xiu was stronger than Hun Xiu, he could suppress Tang Hao with a single hand. This was the reason why more elders of the Martial Spirit Palace chose to stand on Hun Xiu's side!
Of course.
There were still a small number of people who chose to stand on Bibi Dong's side.
Bibi Dong had been the Pope for more than ten years.
Naturally, he had some tricks up his sleeve. It wasn't surprising that he had won the support of some elders.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei's choice was naturally Hun Xiu.
.....
"Go to the dungeon and bring Tang Hao here. I want to see if he will choose to compromise now that Ayin is in my hands." Hun Xiu looked at the struggling Ayin in his palm and ordered indifferently.
"Yes!"
Yue Guan left.
Not long after.
Yue Guan appeared in the study with Tang Hao. In a month, Tang Hao had recovered a lot.
However, the little bit of strength that Tang Hao had recovered was not enough for him to escape from the Martial Spirit Palace. Therefore, he chose to develop in a wretched manner.
Waiting for the right time!
Yue Guan came to find him and brought him to Qian Xunji's study.
The Pontiff's Palace.
That was the place where the Pontiff lived.
Hun Xiu had not been the Pontiff for many years. The current Pontiff was Bibi Dong. Hun Xiu had no intention of taking over the Pontiff's position.
He was not the Pontiff of the Martial Spirit Palace. Bibi Dong was. He knew that very well.
.....
In the study.
Tang Hao was the first to speak. "Qian Xunji, what do you want from me?"
"I want you to lead the Martial Spirit Palace army to the Clear Sky Sect and take them down!" Hun Xiu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
That was the reason why he had kept Tang Hao alive. He wanted to recruit Tang Hao.
When Tang Hao heard Hun Xiu's words, he was stunned at first. Then, he sneered and said, "Let me tell you, Qian Xunji, you're dreaming. It's impossible!
"I won't become a lackey of the Martial Spirit Palace and lead the Martial Spirit Palace army to attack the Clear Sky Sect."
Hun Xiu was not angry. He had already expected such an outcome. He said indifferently, "Tang Hao, don't be anxious. Let me show you something first. It won't be too late for you to decide!"
As he spoke.
He stretched out his palm.
A Bluesilver Grass appeared on his palm.
"Ayin …"
Seeing the Bluesilver Grass on Hun Xiu's palm, Tang Hao instantly lost his calm.
He wanted to snatch it.
Yue Guan, who was at the side, saw through Tang Hao's thoughts and took the initiative to suppress Tang Hao. Tang Hao was not at his peak.
He was not even one-tenth of his peak state. Yue Guan easily suppressed Tang Hao. Yue Guan said sternly, "Tang Hao, mind your status. This is not a place where you can be impudent."
Tang Hao was forced to kneel by Yue Guan. His eyes were red as he looked at Ayin in Hun Xiu's palm. He wanted to resist.
However …
He was not even one-third of his peak state. He wanted to resist?
He could not resist at all. He wanted to, but he was powerless!
Tang Hao said, "What do you want, Qian Xunji?"
Hun Xiu said indifferently, "What I want is very simple. Lead the Martial Spirit Palace army and defeat the Clear Sky Sect, or let the Clear Sky Sect join the Martial Spirit Palace. Then, I'll return your Ayin to you.
"Otherwise, your Ayin might never come back."
As he spoke …
He even tore a leaf from Ayin's body!
"Stop!"
Tang Hao watched as Qian Xunji tore a leaf from Ayin's body. He could not help but feel his heart ache. That was his Ayin.
He usually only stroked her, but Hun Xiu actually tore a leaf from Ayin's body. It was not easy for Ayin to grow a leaf.
Now that he had lost a leaf, who knew how long it would take to recover.
Hun Xiu only tore a leaf from Ayin's body and did not do anything else. He looked coldly at Tang Hao. "Tang Hao, this is my bottom line."
"If you refuse, I won't just tear a leaf from Ayin's body. I'll turn her into ashes."
"I think that you don't want to see your Ayin turned into ashes, right?"
