I hire players in the martial arts world

Chapter 1248 Split

Such and such, such and such.

Situ Zhong first listened to Cao Gu's description of the current situation in Shushan. Some of the intelligence information was supplemented, and the result was very bad.

Before, he still had some illusions about the Shushan high-level officials. Even if the head of Taiqing chose to pursue the path to immortality that he longed for, the five bosses who had been in charge of the management would not follow him blindly. But now it seems that he was too naive.

Some questions that he had been subconsciously avoiding kept emerging in his mind at this moment.

For example, he and Dugu Yuyun made continuous breakthroughs in a short period of time after becoming destined.

For example, because of Jiang Qing’s incident, he and his senior brother stood up for the first time to oppose the decision of the Five Elders.

Later, when the Seven Saints awakened one after another, the Five Elders' expressions were pleasantly surprised, but there seemed to be some more complex emotions in their expressions that even he could not discern.

However, there are more hidden dangers among the middle and lower level disciples.

Not every Shushan disciple can become a destiny body. Although Taiwu and others showed their outstanding side early on, before that, they only had the strength of the Sky Control Realm. The achievement of the Celestial Realm was due to becoming a destiny body, and it was achieved in just a few days.

In fact, among their peers, there are talented disciples who are only slightly inferior to the Seven Saints. However, because they are not destined bodies, compared with the great progress of the Seven Saints, they seem to be mediocre among the crowd.

After all, he could still catch up in the Sky Control Realm before, but he has reached the Celestial Realm in the past few days, and it may even take another half a month to break through the Dharma Realm. Such a gap will inevitably make those disciples who have always regarded the Seven Saints as their goal to catch up with fall into despair.

It has been mentioned before that all the disciples of Shushan have been selected through layers of selection. Even the worst of them are considered the young seedlings who are highly cared for when placed in the Taoist temples that inherit the various branches of Taoism in the Taoist domain.

In addition, if you want to become a member of Shushan, you must have a firmer stance than the pro-war faction.

Such people tend to be somewhat stubborn.

Just before this, as a member of the destiny body, Situ Zhong completely ignored the changes in the mentality of those disciples.

Now that there is a clear path to immortality before their eyes, how could they not be tempted?

At this time, Situ Zhong had already understood that the split of Shushan was bound to happen sooner or later. Unless Taoist Taiqing stood up and called for action, he could not call on so many disciples to give up the mission of eliminating monsters that they had been following for all these years.

What made him even more sad was that among those disciples who still insisted on their own beliefs and resolutely chose to stay, only less than three digits were left.

Then Situ Zhong looked at Cao Gu's long hair, which was mostly pale, and touched his head with some heartache.

"Uncle Master, I'm fine."

Cao Gu's voice was calm and gentle, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Luckily you guys are back."

This made Situ Zhong's eyes even more sore. He knew that Cao Gu was such a person in the original work. First, in order to rescue all the villagers in Murai Village where Muranglan was located in the fifth generation prequel, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of energy to refine the soul-fixing medicine.

Later, the Jingtian Sect, which was secretly controlled by Moyi, launched a surprise attack on Shushan. Cao Gu was unable to retreat and recuperate under such circumstances, and was worried about the unusual movements of the seal in Shushan and the Demon Locking Tower.

Afterwards, the leader of the Jingtian Sect, Jiang Shili, and his men set out to attack Shushan, and Qingshi activated a magic circle to defend against the enemy; as the magic circle requires three people, Cao Gu, Qingshi and Yushu stayed behind, while Gangzhan rushed to the Demon Locking Tower to check the situation.

When the disciples came to report that Jiang Shili was going to the Demon Locking Tower in person, Qingshi considered Jiang Shili's strength and wanted Cao Gu and Yu Shu to support the Demon Locking Tower.

Cao Gu said that his Taoism and swordsmanship were not as good as Qingshi Yushu's, so he suggested that she stay behind to support the formation, and let Qingshi and Yushu go to support her. Due to the huge loss of the formation, and the previous soul-solidifying medicine, her power was greatly reduced, resulting in her body becoming smaller and her hair becoming gray.

She was originally a beautiful and steady lady with waist-length hair, but later she could only appear as a white-haired little girl.

"Uncle-master is late." Thinking of the broken Taoist robes and blades scattered all over the hills and wilderness when he arrived here, Situ Zhong felt as if his heart was being cut open by a knife.

He has a willful character, wild behavior, is cynical and plays with the world, does not care about any rules or laws, and is regarded as an alien by his master. However, he has always had a strong passion for Shushan.

This is his home!

In just a few days,

Situ Zhong could no longer bear to look at those disciples who were looking at him with expectation. After he closed his eyes and counted his breaths, took a few deep breaths, and opened his eyes again, the carefree and unrestrained side of him seemed to have completely disappeared.

Then he pointed his finger to wake up Yu Shu who had just been knocked unconscious by him.

Looking at the other person's confused look, he spoke directly.

"Calm down?"

Yu Shu nodded. He also realized that he was asking a lot of questions without allowing the other party to interrupt him. This behavior undoubtedly showed his inner uneasiness, confusion and anxiety.

"Uncle Master. Me."

"Listen to me first." Situ Zhong interrupted the other party and looked at Yu Shu seriously, "In the future, Shushan will rely on people like us to support it, but Senior Brother is too straightforward, your Senior Brother Taiwu is too upright, and Gang Zhan is too reckless."

At this time, Situ Zhong looked at Cao Gu, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, and then his gaze moved back to Yu Shu.

"Your Senior Sister Caogu always shoulders all the responsibilities, and she is the worst at scheming and calculating.

As for the girls Lingbo and Lingyin, they are not mature enough mentally.

Now only you and Junior Brother Qingshi can act as the brains of Shushan, and can take into account both rationality and sensibility, so at any time, you must force yourself to remain calm.

Next, I will tell you about some of the intelligence information I have collected. I need you to seriously think of a plan that will help Shushan to develop stably in the future."

"Yes." Yu Shu said solemnly.

After all this and that, 90% of Yu Shu's previous questions had been answered.

He was no longer curious about why Long Ming appeared here. His current target was Xue Wuxia, who had become the Palace Master of Daoshen Palace.

"According to your guess, does she really belong to Worry-free Villa?"

"This is not a secret." Situ Zhong answered carefully, "Or to put it another way, given the current situation, there is no need to keep it secret. Even if this matter gets to Jiutian Dao Palace, they won't care about this identity."

At this moment, as the bone snake was sealed by Long Ming, the evil fog that had been covering this area had completely dissipated. The Shushan disciples present could finally use their mental power again to comprehensively check the extent of the dilapidated state of their homeland.

The sudden battle waves all around, especially in the northern area, the mighty dragon that seemed to occupy half of the sky, frightened many people.

But when they looked again, they found a figure that was extremely small compared to the dragon, and it actually suppressed it completely by itself!

The ice and snow that spread rapidly in all directions of space made those who were far away from the battle area feel cold. After just a few blinks of their eyes, the roaring Shenlong Qiongwu that continuously blasted out lightning was frozen into a lifelike statue.

Too strong!

Just by looking at it from a distance, even the most ignorant Shushan disciples could feel the power emanating from that Qiongwu, which was far greater than the bone snake that had made them almost despair just now.

Even so, the opponent was easily restrained by that small figure.

Snap!!!——

Cracks appeared on the ice sculpture, and then exploding lightning filled everyone's vision. Just when everyone was about to close their eyes, unable to face the visual impact of the impending thunderstorm!

An ice-blue sword light pierced into the sky as if to cut the sky apart!

The thunderstorm that had not yet fully condensed turned into scattered ice particles, and the majestic Qiong Wu just now let out a miserable howl.

On its sturdy and strong dragon body, there are dozens of dragon scales falling like raindrops.

"Shushan is originally a member of the Dao Realm, and we are loyal to the Palace Master of the Dao Palace." Yu Shu's words awakened Situ Zhong who was watching this amazing battle.

"Uncle Master, I know that although Shushan was a part of the Dao Realm before, due to the special nature of its mission, it has always been outside its power center. As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. Now is a good opportunity for us to return to the Dao Realm again.

We can no longer insist on staying in this small area. Moreover, with our current comprehensive strength, we can no longer shoulder the responsibility of guarding the passage to the demon realm.

Therefore, we cannot take the initiative to propose what to do with this half-crippled Shushan next, but should listen to the instructions issued by the Palace Master and then do it.

Especially Uncle Dugu and Brother Gangzhan, as well as you, Uncle, you need to control your temper."

"Junior brother, isn't that right?" Cao Gu hesitated to speak.

As a member of Shushan, they actually always look down on the Dao Realm with a sense of superiority. Not only because they despise the inaction and enjoyment of the Dao Realm members, but also because it is a trend that has been cultivated from top to bottom.

Yu Shu's proposal completely destroyed the nobility that they maintained on the surface as a member of the Dao Realm.

It can even be said that he licked it directly on his knees.

However, when Cao Gu looked at the figure in the north again, he did not have any subconscious resistance in his heart.

After all, she is so powerful and so beautiful, especially as a homosexual, I yearn for her even more.

"If... If I had the power of the Palace Master"

Cao Gu once again looked around at the Shushan disciples who were all focusing their eyes full of admiration and longing on Xue Wuxia. She suddenly felt that her junior brother's comment that there is no construction without destruction was extremely positive.

Situ Zhong nodded and said seriously.

"I will go and tell my senior brother that even if he succeeds as the head of the sect, he will first refer to your and Junior Brother Qingshi's suggestions for some important decisions."

At the same time, he also understood the other party's implied meaning.

Before talking about Xue Wuxia, Yu Shu first mentioned her origin, and specifically pointed out Wuyou Villa, which meant that their position in the future would not only be to become the Palace Master faction within the Palace Master faction, but they would also have to show great goodwill to the Ghost Market.

"Secondly, after this battle is over, the fate body memories of me and my fellow brothers and sisters need to be unlocked." Yu Shu continued, and then his eyes looked at Ling Bo who was a little absent-minded, "Senior Sister Ling Bo and Junior Sister Ling Yin will not be used for the time being."

"I" Ling Bo was about to ask a question.

But after uttering a word, he consciously closed his mouth.

She looked towards Long Ming who was still in enlightenment. In her expectation, when she met this destined person, she would act very cold and indifferent, just like a stranger who she didn't want to deal with at all.

But when she saw the other party being engulfed by the deadly poison just now, she admitted that she was completely panicked and didn't even notice when her eyes were filled with tears.

At that moment, the extreme grief in his heart made him completely dazed.

She didn't fully recover until the battle ended at an extremely fast speed.

This love disaster is so terrible!

In particular, she had an inexplicable urge to unlock her fateful memory at all costs, which made her feel like she was no longer herself.

Fortunately, he now suppressed this thought with his strong will.

Situ Zhong looked at Ling Bo, whose expression had been forced to calm down, nodded secretly, then turned his gaze back to Yu Shu and asked first.

"This disaster should have improved you as well."

Yu Shu and Cao Gu looked at each other, smiled bitterly and nodded.

In the original work, when they served as the seven saints in power in Shushan, they encountered similar disasters that intended to destroy Shushan twice in a row in the Fifth Generation and the Prequel of the Fifth Generation. This was also the fateful disaster they had to experience.

As for the destined body, after overcoming the catastrophe, it will definitely receive the gift of fate.

Even if he didn't survive the death calamity like Long Ming, he could still fall into a state of enlightenment which could greatly improve his condition.

Their gains were not small.

For example, Cao Gu is already 90% sure that he can safely break through the Dharma Realm, and Yu Shu, who has weaker strength, can also achieve celestial perfection.

After Situ Zhong agreed to this, Yu Shu mentioned another person.

"Brother Chang Yin came to me when the meeting had just ended and both sides had not yet made a complete choice of their positions."

"Junior brother Chang Yin? Senior brother's apprentice."

"Well, he said that the decision made by the headmaster was wrong, and there must be a deeper mastermind behind the scenes. He is in charge of intelligence-related matters, and as a member of the Discipline Hall, he has decided to infiltrate the enemy to investigate the problems inside.

If the leader really betrays Shushan, he must be whipped a thousand times according to the rules, his martial arts skills must be abolished, and he must be imprisoned for life!

If the five elders also choose to go all the way to the end, they should be punished with the same law, including Elder Canggu, who is the elder of precepts.

As for other stubborn disciples, he will also record them one by one according to the precepts they have violated, and wait until we have eliminated these traitors, and then settle accounts with them."

Yu Shu felt ashamed. In fact, he had not been able to truly face the betrayal by his superiors in the past few days. After all, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old and had no memories of a second life to fill his experience. The young man's nature would make him subconsciously avoid the problem.

It was not until Situ Zhong woke him up just now that he began to face up to this split.

But Senior Brother Chang Yin discovered the problem immediately and took the risk of infiltrating the enemy, which made Yu Shu feel that his title as the Seventh Saint was entirely due to his cultivation advantage. (End of this chapter)
