In the Heavens

The Luoyang turmoil is over. Apart from lamenting the insidiousness of the Demon Cult, the unknowing people who eat melons have not noticed the game of the big bosses behind it.

Only the big forces in the rivers and lakes who participated in it know the danger. The two major factions of the Righteous Way almost fought each other, and it was exciting to think about it.

If there was a fight, the whole Jianghu would be forced to get involved, and no one would want to be alone.

Fortunately, the matter finally satisfactorily resolved. As for the details of the game between Shaolin and Huashan, everyone doesn't care. Everyone knows that curiosity killed the cat.

As a loser, the Huashan faction will naturally not speak out about this dark history that affects their own reputation.

It is not easy for the Shaolin Temple to become the winner. Leaking it out can certainly damage the reputation of the Huashan School, but it will also attract the attention of interested people.

In case someone finds out that the cornerstone of their town faction has lost their longevity, they don't know what will happen. At least many of the current layouts will be greatly affected.

...

Huashan

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news of the return of the elders of the division.

In the past few days, all the big and small things in the mountains are on his shoulders. If it weren't for Li Mu's decent management skills, it would have been a mess long ago.

If it's just managing the affairs in the mountains, it's not a big deal; the problem is that although his ability is not bad, he can't stand the limited power!

No matter how high his reputation in the sect is, he is just an ordinary Huashan disciple, and his power comes from the temporary appointment of the elder in the sect.

Step-by-step, old-fashioned execution is okay, but there is no right to make any substantive changes.

As for the failure of the east out plan, Li Mu was not surprised at all. If it really succeeds, the Huashan faction will be too busy sorting out the new territory, and there will be no time to engage in a sword qi battle.

"Senior brother Zhou ordered to go down and get everyone ready to welcome the return of the master. Remember to be simple, it is not suitable to be too lively during the filial piety."

Knowing the failure of Dongchu's plan, Li Mu didn't want to hit the gun at this time while the high-level executives in the door were holding back their anger.

This time, so many people died in the mountain gate, including six elders of the sect, and now they are in the midst of filial piety, so it makes sense not to hold a celebration.

"Understood, Junior Brother Li. I'll go down and make arrangements."

...

Looking up at the clouds in the sky, Li Mu knew that it was time for him to pay a visit to the only remaining old man in the family.

Whether it is to turn the tide at a critical moment, or to deal with the aftermath of busy work, these achievements need to be implemented.

Up to now, Li Mu has become a figure in the family, and many things are destined to be unavoidable.

Since you can't hide, you might as well take the initiative to stand at the front desk. With this achievement, as long as it operates well, it is possible for the prestige in the sect to overtake "Cai and Yao".

His efforts during this period were not in vain. The Demon Cult's surprise attack on the mountain created a power vacuum, which created the best opportunity for him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Mu not only learned about the Huashan faction's power distribution and network of connections, but also wantonly bought people's hearts in the mountain gate.

Taking advantage of the panic and hesitation of the younger brothers and sisters after being attacked, Li Mu successfully played the role of "good senior brother" to the end and became the backbone in everyone's mind.

Although it won't play much role in a short period of time, the younger brothers and younger sisters will always grow up, and the future prospects are promising.

The most important thing is that this kind of influence straddles the two sects of sword qi at the same time. This is definitely the biggest plus point for competing for the position of master.

If there were no accidents, Li Mu would be able to defeat Cai and Yao with a high probability and get the position of heir to the head if he just went on step by step.

...

Along the winding bluestone path, Li Mu came to a quiet courtyard.

The first thing that catches the eye is a lotus pond, in which there is a two-foot-high natural boulder engraved with Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing".

"Disciple Li Bumu, pay homage to Master Liu's uncle."

The white-haired old man nodded slightly, and said in a somewhat unsatisfactory spirit: "Get up! I don't have so many rules here, so there is no need to be polite."

It can be seen that the battle that day did great harm to Master Liu. The physical injury has already healed to a great extent, but the mental trauma can never be repaired.

Rao is used to seeing life and death, but watching his peers fall down one by one, leaving him alone must be a kind of suffering.

For this kind of thing, unless he figured it out by himself, no one else could help.

Li Mu replied respectfully: "Thank you, Master!"

Having experienced the attack of the Devil's Cult, and seeing the demeanor of the elders in the sect, Li Mu respected them from the bottom of his heart.

As if seeing Li Mu's careful thinking, Master Liu scolded with a smile: "You have to worry about everything in the mountain gate, so why do you have time to find me, a bad old man?"

"It can't be hidden from the wisdom eyes of the master. Just now a letter came from Luoyang, and the masters have already set off and will arrive at Huashan in a few days.

Someone will come back to clean up the mess in the mountain immediately, so there is no need for disciples to worry about it. "

Li Mu spoke the truth.

Master Liu stroked his pale beard and said with a smile: "You are an honest boy. Don't worry, my Huashan faction has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. No one can erase your achievements, and it is even more impossible for you to be blamed.

If you were my Qizong disciple, with this merit, the old man would let Ning Qingyu appoint you as the young master even if he tried his best to reject it. "

Li Mu understood the implication. The merits are guaranteed, so it is impossible to take the opportunity to seek the position of heir to the head.

After pondering for a while, Li Mu tentatively asked: "Master, the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect are all my Huashan disciples, why are you the same as those ordinary people?"

A scene that surprised Li Mu appeared, Master Liu actually nodded in agreement.

"You kid is right. Both Jianzong and Qizong are my Huashan disciples. Compared with Cai and Yao, two incompetent guys, you are indeed better.

But it is of no use to me, the Qizong line inherits the headship, this is the tradition left by the ancestors.

The old man was getting old, and he managed to get rid of the dispute, but he didn't want to fall into it again.

If you kid has the ability, you can find a way to win everyone's support. The most I can do is let the disciples under my name not object.

If you want me to say, don't mess around, you kid. After handing over the affairs in the mountain gate as soon as possible, and after receiving the rewards, go to retreat and practice hard.

If it can break through to the extreme, the situation will be very different at that time. Even Qing Yu was able to be expected to return to the top position because he broke through the peak first. "

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

Li Mu said gratefully.

This result really surprised some of him. He was just testing his tone, but he didn't expect to get Master Liu's support.

Birth determines position, and sometimes "no objection" means support. It is unrealistic to expect the elders of the Airbender to betray their own faction and stand up to support him.
