I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 316: "Personnel Changes"

Chapter 316: "Personnel Changes"

Gu Heng couldn't quite imagine that love for someone could turn into such deep and unforgettable hatred because of her death.

After all, he had never experienced anything like this before.

The woman Luo Xian loved became someone else's lover and gave birth to someone else's son. No matter how disgusting the evil deeds Yu Yinzi did were, Luo Xian probably blamed Yu Yinzi for the death of her mother.

Of course, Gu Heng didn't want to know what exactly happened, because there was no need to.

Yu Quzi's soul is dead, and Yu Yinzi is now only a little short of dying. Since they are going to die anyway, why bother with the past of the dead? Gu Heng may be very free, but he's not that idle.

Why did you tear his face off?

Gu Heng looked at Luo Xian.

“He doesn’t deserve to have a face that looks so much like Qing’e.”

Luo Xian's response was also very simple.

Of course, it's normal for a son to resemble his mother, but clearly this elder couldn't stand it, so he tore Yu Yinzi's face off completely.

Gu Heng could even think of something more sinister: perhaps Luo Xian would keep this face, so similar to his beloved's, and then use it to remember her...

That would be a bit too outrageous.

To say that Luo Xian is a good person wouldn't be accurate. His hatred for Yu Quzi and Yu Yinzi doesn't mean he's some kind of righteous hero. Even the so-called "evidence" he preserved is just something he can use to betray those two in a crucial moment. To put it bluntly, he's just a relatively normal cultivator in this world that so highly reveres the law of the jungle.

There are countless people in the world who are even more abnormal and have darker hearts than Luo Xian, people who "don't look like humans."

"...Elder Luoxian, move him away, he's an eyesore."

Jiang Lingyun frowned and glanced at Yu Yinzi, who had lost all four limbs and whose breath was extremely weak.

"Fine, I've already vented my anger enough anyway."

Luo Xian nodded, pointed his fingertip at Yu Yinzi, and the intense Dao power ignited Yu Yinzi's entire body, burning him to ashes in just a few breaths.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the side quest 'Igniting the Red Thread'! Reward: 'Mysterious Star Chart'!"

Gu Heng silently turned off the notification that popped up in front of him. Whatever that reward was, he'd see later. The atmosphere was just right now; he didn't want this system to ruin it.

The system responded very quickly this time.

Yu Yinzi turned to ashes before his eyes, and was undoubtedly dead. Therefore, the mission of "igniting the red thread" was directly judged to be successful.

After all, the goal of this mission is to "help Liu Yu break off her engagement with Yu Yinzi".

Now that the man has died, the engagement is naturally off.

Surely there's no such thing as a ghost marriage in this world?

Gu Heng guessed that there was.

After all, ghosts really do exist in this world.

But such a bizarre thing as a ghost marriage wouldn't happen to Liu Yu, so that's the end of it. The system said it's over, so it's over.

"You've avenged your great grudge, it feels great, right?" Jiang Lingyun silently looked at Luo Xian, his face full of "pleasure," and he didn't intend to hide it.

"Yes, and now Qianyin Valley is indeed lacking a Valley Master. Since Yuquzi is dead, I have no choice but to take over. I must thank you both for giving me this opportunity."

"I will never forget this kindness, even as I am down in my rope."

Luo Xian shrugged, his tone relaxed and calm.

Jiang Lingyun responded with a fake, cold laugh.

Ah.

Anyway, Gu Gongzi and she were the ones who put in the most effort. As for Luo Xian, he was just picking up the leftovers. He got revenge and also got the position of Valley Master for free. You have to admit, all of this can be considered as a favor bestowed upon him by Gu Heng.

Jiang Lingyun didn't intend to take all the credit.

Her contribution was limited to scaring Yu Quzi for a bit of fun; the real credit would have to go to Gu Heng. "However, since Yu Quzi has been lost, Qianyin Valley will have to be removed from the list of extraordinary forces, unless you can break through to the Saint level in the future."

"From now on, how far Qianyin Valley can go in your hands is up to you."

Jiang Lingyun also pointed out the current situation of Qianyin Valley without hesitation.

The criterion for judging an "extraordinary force" is whether the force has a Saint-level cultivator who has mastered this path and is in charge. Of course, those who are invited or join halfway through do not count.

Even if it costs Thousand Sound Valley a great deal of money to invite a supreme expert who does not cultivate music to be the valley master.

That's no use either.

Admittedly, being designated as an "extraordinary force" has many advantages.

The first issue is the allocation of the most important resource – “the spiritual energy of heaven and earth”.

If one becomes an extraordinary force, then one is qualified to create a vast "extraordinary treasure land" by setting up an ultra-high-level, complex spirit array in the core area of ​​the entire force's territory.

Within the "Extraordinary Treasure Land," the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth will be thousands of times higher and purer than usual. Whether it is cultivation or planting spiritual herbs and plants, the benefits will be more than just twice as effective.

It can be said that only with an "extraordinary treasure land" can a faction guarantee a continuous stream of highly talented new talents.

but.

This "extraordinary treasure land" can also be taken away.

Once the core formation is destroyed, the high concentration of spiritual energy from heaven and earth will completely dissipate within a few days.

This is because the unique diagram of this complex, high-level spirit array is kept in the "Transcendent Temple".

Of course, the prerequisite for stripping a "supernatural treasure land" is that the power that owns the land loses all the supreme cultivators and thus loses its qualification as a supernatural power.

When that time comes, the "Transcendent Temple" will send messengers to erase the formation.

As for those who attempt to resist...

Of course, it won't be wiped out because of this.

They'll only kill the ringleaders to intimidate others.

That's the situation in Qianyin Valley right now.

With Yu Quzi dead, Thousand Sound Valley has lost its supreme saint. Although the soul of Wuyin Daoren, who is at the seventh level of the Ascension Realm, is still there, the Tongtian Qin has now fallen into Gu Heng's hands. He is just a soul, and having served as the "instrument spirit" of the Tongtian Qin for so many years, Wuyin Daoren probably can't exert any power without the Tongtian Qin.

therefore.

The strongest person in Qianyin Valley right now is Luo Xian, the Grand Elder at the tenth level of the Mahayana realm.

As the core member of the "Transcendent Temple", Jiang Lingyun should have told Luo Xian that Qianyin Valley was no longer a transcendent force.

Unless, after the day of the fall of the curtain, one can ascend to the highest sainthood.

"Ah, I understand, but it's not that important to me."

Luo Xian understood what Jiang Lingyun was saying, but he wasn't too worried.

"Liu Yu is still a disciple of my Thousand Sound Valley, but I hereby declare that Liu Yu will succeed me as the Valley Master of Thousand Sound Valley!"

Luo Xian changed the subject and smiled at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu: "...Huh?"
