Chapter 545 Rejection
"Yes. Unfortunately, I have been practicing for some time and have to go into seclusion to meditate recently. So I can't go to congratulate you in person on the day you take office. But don't worry, Great Elder. I will definitely send someone to prepare a generous gift." Murong Chu said with a hint of apology on his face.
"Oh, it seems that your cultivation is about to have a breakthrough, Murong Chu. This is really good news." Bai Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Thanks for the good words, Great Elder. Let's hope!" said Murong Chu.
"Actually, I'm here today to bring you another good news," Baekhyun said.
"What good news?" Murong Chu asked.
"My master has recently been thinking about accepting a disciple and thinks you are a promising talent." Bai Xuan paused here, then looked at Murong Chu with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, ancestor and great elder. I am dull by nature and also lazy. I would like to trouble the great elder to apologize to the ancestor." Murong Chu declined without hesitation.
Bai Xuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He fully believed that his master, Patriarch Fukong, had been appointed as the General Zhenxi, and his power and status had become increasingly powerful. Now that he had extended an olive branch to Murong Chu, she would surely be overjoyed and bow down to him. However, he did not expect that she would refuse without a second thought.
This not only made Bai Xuan lose face, but also made him feel that Murong Chu was ungrateful!
"Murong Chu, opportunities are hard to come by! Although you have some financial resources, without the help and guidance of masters, you will never be able to become an immortal in this lifetime! Now, this great opportunity is right in front of you. If you don't want it, not only will you have no hope of becoming an immortal in the future, but your future days will probably not be smooth either!" Bai Xuan said with a hint of severity on his face.
Murong Chu's face changed several times after hearing this, and after a long while he said, "Great Elder, since I established the 'Spiritual Pavilion' business, I have not reduced the tribute to the Floating Fairy Island by a single cent. Isn't it a bit too much for you to say this to me now?"
Bai Xuan's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and then he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Haha, Murong Chu, let's not beat around the bush! I know why you refused to join my master's sect. Isn't it because of Qingyun Island? You don't want to get involved in the struggle between the two families. Are you afraid of becoming the target of Qingyun Island's attack?
Do you think that because Qingyun Island killed the Blood Cloud Ancestor and we, Floating Fairy Island, are keeping our troops inactive, you think we are afraid of them and can't do anything to them? Haha, if you really think so, then you are too shortsighted.
My master is a steady and cautious person. The reason why our Floating Fairy Island has not taken any action until now is because my master knows that the origin of the Blood Cloud Ancestor is the seventh master of the Blood Evil Palace in the Dutian Mountain Blessed Land. If he gets into trouble, the Blood Evil Palace will definitely send people to conquer him.
Since the people from the Blood Evil Palace will come to attack Qingyun Island, why don't ? Taking a step back, when my master officially takes the position of General Zhenxi, the entire islands and land in the sea west of Pingyu West City will be under his jurisdiction. Once he integrates the forces from all sides, won't it be easy to clean up Qingyun Island?
Moreover, I might as well reveal a piece of news to you now. My master has recently got a chance. He may be able to survive the great catastrophe of wind and fire and become a second-grade true immortal in the near future. Hehe, at that time, even if the Blood Evil Palace does not send anyone, my master will lead his troops to attack Qingyun Island. Can Qingyun Island still resist?"
Speaking of this, Bai Xuan's face was full of pride, and a powerful aura burst out from his body, making him look so arrogant, as if he was about to become a second-grade true immortal.
Murong Chu's face turned pale when he heard this, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I am used to being casual, and I am afraid I will still disappoint the kindness of the ancestor and the great elder."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan stood up suddenly, and a fierce aura surged from him, causing a strong wind to blow throughout the hall.
"You don't know how to appreciate my kindness! You'd better take care of yourself!" Bai Xuan's eyes fell on Murong Chu with a sharp look like a knife. He said coldly and left.
Watching Bai Xuan leave, Murong Chu's originally "pale" face gradually turned cold.
How could she not know that the battle of Qingyun Fairy Island had caused great losses to Fukong Fairy Island! Now that Fukong Patriarch was going to take over the Zhenxi General's Mansion, he had too few powerful people under his command, and it was probably difficult for him to control the veterans of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, so he extended an olive branch to her, hoping to get both money and money.
But in the past, under Bai Xuan's coercion and inducement, Murong Chu really had no other choice.
But now it is different. She has secretly surrendered to Qin Ziling, and she also knows that Qin Ziling is much more powerful than the outside world imagines. Even Gou Huan and his Chilin Guards were secretly killed by Qin Ziling. It can be said that the current position of General Zhenxi of Fukong Patriarch is thanks to Qin Ziling. Now Bai Xuan actually said that it was no problem at all to destroy Qingyun Fairy Island. To Murong Chu, it was really naive and ridiculous.
"Hmph, if the master wasn't afraid of King Zhu Run and didn't dare to show off his strength right now, he would have destroyed your Floating Island long ago! How dare you say that you want to attack and destroy Qingyun Fairy Island? How ridiculous!" Murong Chu thought to himself, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.
"Island Master, I understand that you are worried about Qingyun Fairy Island, but now it seems that the overall situation is on the side of Floating Fairy Island. You refused the recruitment of Floating Fairy Island this time. I'm afraid we will be in big trouble next." A female guardian said with a worried look on her face.
"When Floating Island and Blood Cloud Island joined forces to attack Qingyun Fairy Island, everyone had the same idea as you, but what was the result? Even the Blood Cloud Ancestor was defeated on Qingyun Fairy Island. Do you think Floating Ancestor doesn't want to destroy Qingyun Fairy Island now? He is actually afraid in his heart!
Once a teacher, always a father. Once I become Fukong's disciple, I will no longer have any choice. At least I can remain neutral now. As for big trouble , it won't happen so soon. Although Fukong has been appointed as the General of Zhenxi, he has not yet established his position and will definitely not dare to start a war too early.
Once he forces everyone to surrender to Qingyun Fairy Island, how will King Zhu Run view his ability? How can he continue to sit in the position of General of the West?" Murong Chu said in a deep voice.
"That's true, but..." The female protector still felt uneasy after hearing this.
"Pass on my order to close all businesses from today, gather all the people and troops back to Kaiming Fairy Island, and then close Kaiming Fairy Island, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Murong Chu interrupted.
"Island Master!" The female protector's heart was shocked.
"Although my strength is far inferior to that of Old Ancestor Fukong and his men, I have invested a lot of financial, material and human resources day and night on Kaiming Fairy Island for so many years, so my defense capability is still good. Even if Old Ancestor Fukong personally leads people to attack, it will cost a lot." Murong Chu said proudly.
Murong Chu knew that his strength could not compare with that of a true immortal, so he used much of the money earned from the business to cultivate his disciples and strengthen the defense of Kaiming Immortal Island, just to protect himself.
Therefore, in terms of manpower and horses, as well as the defense capabilities of the fairy island, Kaiming Fairy Island is definitely the best among the thirty-six fairy islands.
"Yes!" The female protector straightened her back involuntarily upon hearing that.
"Three days later, gather all the guardians. I have something to tell you." Murong Chu gave another order.
"yes!"
…
"This Murong Chu actually dared to reject the ancestor's kindness. Great Elder, what should we do now? Should we send troops to destroy this Kaiming Fairy Island and make an example of it?" A guardian standing behind Bai Xuan asked murderously on a auspicious cloud.
"Don't rush at this moment. Murong Chu will have plenty of time to cry later!" Bai Xuan said coldly, with unspeakable anger and murderous intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Who is Bai Hyun? When has he ever been so miserable?
Rather than the guardian behind him, Bai Xuan wanted to send troops to destroy Kaiming Fairy Island right now.
But he knew that Kaiming Fairy Island was impregnable due to Murong Chu's huge investment of manpower, material resources and financial resources day and night for hundreds of years. It would be by no means easy to attack it.
Especially now that the Floating Fairy Island has suffered serious damage, it is not easy to attack it.
Besides, his master was about to take office, so now was not the time to cause trouble.
"What the Great Elder said is true. Humph, when the ancestor takes the position of General Zhenxi, integrates the troops, and breaks through to become a second-grade True Immortal, any family that dares to disobey will be annihilated!" The protector said arrogantly.
Bai Xuan did not respond to the protector, but looked into the distance, with a complicated look in the depths of his eyes.
"How hateful! Kaiming Island has many soldiers and generals, and is financially strong. If Murong Chu is willing to become Master's disciple, it will be able to make up for the loss of Floating Fairy Island a while ago. But I didn't expect Murong Chu to refuse!"
…
"The widow Chi Caizhu greets Mr. and Mrs. Qin. Thank you for saving my poor son and the protector Qu Zhong. Please accept my mother and son..." At Qingcang Peak, Chi Caizhu and Lian Changfeng went out of Cangyun Palace. She was about to kneel down and thank Qin Ziling at the door, but she didn't dare to look at Qin Ziling, as if she had an indescribable inferiority complex.
"Sister-in-law, your words are too polite. Let's go into the hall and talk." Without Qin Ziling's order, Xiao Qing had already stepped forward to support Chi Caizhu, preventing her from kneeling.
"Let's go into the hall and talk." Qin Ziling saw that Chi Caizhu not only showed her inferiority complex, but also had a complicated emotion hidden deep in her eyes. He sighed secretly in his heart and spoke.
"Yes!" Chi Caizhu bowed and stepped aside, inviting Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing to enter the palace.
Qin Ziling winked at Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing stepped forward and took Chi Caizhu's arm, saying, "Sister-in-law, let's go in together."
Qin Ziling waved to Lian Changfeng.
Lian Changfeng hurriedly walked to Qin Ziling's side.
Qin Ziling touched his head, and then took him into Cangyun Palace.
Entered Cangyun Palace.
Everyone took their seats as host and guest.
Qin Ziling saw that Chi Caizhu was still very reserved and self-abased, and kept her head down, and Lian Changfeng was obviously not very close to his mother, so he could not help but frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said directly: "Sister Caizhu, you are a weak woman, but you are willing to enter the devil's cave and be bullied to save your husband and son, as well as many people on the island. You are a true heroine. Please accept my greeting."
After saying that, Qin Ziling really stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.
Chi Caizhu suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Ziling, with crystal tears rolling down her beautiful eyes.
"Does Mr. Qin really think so?"
"Of course! It is natural for the strong to protect the weak, but for a weak person to stand up and protect the weak is truly great and respectable." Qin Ziling replied seriously.
When Chi Caizhu heard this, tears started to fall from her face like pearls.
Seeing this, Qin Ziling suddenly shouted at Lian Changfeng, "Changfeng, why don't you kowtow to your mother and admit your mistake! It wasn't your mother's fault or your father's fault that your mother had no choice but to surrender to Gou Huan. The fault was that they didn't have enough strength, and the fault was that the devil Gou Huan took advantage of his power to commit evil.
On the contrary, if your mother had not been willing to endure humiliation and suffering, not only you, but also many people on the island would have died long ago. So what you have to do in the future is to make yourself strong enough to prevent your mother from suffering such humiliation again! Only in this way can you be called the son of this great mother!"
Lian Changfeng was only a teenager after all. When he saw Gou Huan's death and the rise of Qingyun Fairy Island, his mother, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, suddenly returned, he felt somewhat resentful and always felt that his mother had brought shame to him and his father.
Qu Zhong did try to persuade him a few times, but Lian Changfeng, with his youthful mentality, did not listen. In addition, Chi Caizhu had already felt inferior because she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother over the years and had been toyed with by him. She always felt ashamed to explain to Lian Changfeng, which made Lian Changfeng feel even more resentful.
But Lian Changfeng now respected Qin Ziling the most, and he also knew that his master was a truly indomitable man. Now when Lian Changfeng saw a person like his master, he would salute his mother to show his respect.
Suddenly, Qin Ziling's scolding was like a wake-up call, and Lian Changfeng came to his senses immediately.
"Mother, I was wrong! I shouldn't blame you, I shouldn't..." Lian Changfeng knelt down in front of Chi Caizhu.
"It's none of your business, it's none of your business. It's all because of mother's incompetence. I couldn't protect you well and watch you grow up..." Seeing this, Chi Caizhu quickly squatted down and hugged Lian Changfeng and burst into tears.
Seeing the mother and son hugging each other and crying, with no more grudges, Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling with deep affection in her eyes.
This kind of man is a real man!
…
After leaving Cangyun Palace, Qin Ziling returned to the cave residence in Wuxing Mountain.
After returning to the cave residence in the Five Elements Mountain, Qin Ziling first moved Ying Bao out of the cave world, and then went into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.
Qin Ziling had just finished his retreat when calamity clouds enveloped the Five Elements Mountain Cave Heaven, and Ying Bao was finally about to overcome the calamity of the Netherworld Immortal.
Ying Bao has the worst foundation among the five zombies, but now that it is undergoing tribulation, Qin Ziling is not worried at all.
Firstly, he had prepared a powerful magic weapon for it; secondly, Ying Bao had been drinking the essence and blood of true immortals every day these days, and his internal dark power was pure and his body was strong. If it were not for the cave world that helped conceal part of his aura, he would have already met with the heavenly calamity.
It can be said that Ying Bao has now postponed his tribulation, so the success rate of his tribulation is naturally much higher.
Four days later, Qin Ziling ended his retreat.
In just four days, not only had he stabilized his immortal realm, but the seven immortal infants in the immortal palace, which had originally looked a little bloated and puffy, had become much stronger.
Next, he will start to use the method of "intensive training" to cultivate a group of powerful disciples who can stand on their own.
