Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"He is already the deputy headmaster at such a young age. It seems that the headmaster of the Divine Sky Sect thinks highly of him."

Hearing that Qi Xiu was so young, yet was already the deputy headmaster of the Shenxiao Sect, the Taoist masters present all showed a trace of surprise and astonishment, some of them couldn't believe it.

In many ancient and powerful sects, the deputy headmaster is not only the deputy of the supreme headmaster.

In many cases, the deputy headmaster is also the reserve for the next supreme headmaster, and is the successor that the sect headmaster wants to devote all his efforts to train and promote.

It also means that this person has the potential to achieve the status of a True Spirit!

That's why everyone was so surprised when they heard that Qi Xiu was now the deputy leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

After all, Dongfang Qing is only a thousand years old, and is in the prime of life among the Yuanshen Zhenzun. Promoting Qi Xiu to be the deputy headmaster at this time cannot help but make people think more about the deep meaning behind it.

After knowing that Qi Xiu was the deputy leader of the Shenxiao Sect, everyone looked at him with a little more respect.

“I heard that during the last trip to the Southern Ming Great Wilderness, this Deputy Headmaster Qi defeated all the other heroes and took the top spot. His cultivation has reached the realm of Dao Body Transformation.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Middle Earth who can fight him below the level of Yuanshen Zhenzun. "

"Well, it seems that the next Supreme Master of Shenxiao Sect should be him."

Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Qi Xiu's expression remained unchanged. He has been in a high position for many years now, and his demeanor and attitude are a little different from before.

His eyes swept across the people in front of him, and an invisible pressure suddenly came down, causing everyone to shut their mouths unconsciously.

This is the power brought by strength and status.

Those who came to the council this time were all high-ranking officials from various major sects and ancient religions.

But compared with Qi Xiu's status as deputy headmaster, most of them are inferior.

In addition, Qi Xiu's powerful and superior cultivation level created a lot of pressure on everyone.

"What Vice-President Qi just said makes a lot of sense, and we think we can give it a try.

But the ancient religious families like us, who are independent and act independently, can never be as good as the warlords who cooperate with each other.

In my opinion, someone should take the lead and gather everyone's strength to force those warlords to restrain themselves.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to subdue these war maniacs."

The person who spoke was an old Taoist with a kind face and a gentle expression.

But there was no one around him, as if they were deliberately avoiding him.

"Old He from the Kuaidao Sect of Yanyu Province always appears to be friendly, polite, and amiable, but he is extremely cruel and vicious inside.

Anyone he sets his sights on will be played with and fooled around with by him before being put to death.

He is a person who is not like a demon, but better than a demon. "

Old He's suggestion also won the approval of other powerful Taoists. After all, the sect families are very different from the warlords who have a complete hierarchical system.

Even though there are some pretentiousness among the sects and families, if they cannot work together, it will be difficult to compete with the warlords and governors who are now bloodthirsty.

If you want to find a way out for them, you must have the strength to convince them.

“Each province can form a common people alliance, led by the ancient religious families, and use the power of the province to put pressure on the warlord governors.

The goal of this group of war maniacs is to fight for the imperial artifacts and take over Shangjing, not to make enemies with the world.

For those in their position, weighing the pros and cons is almost instinctive.

At that time, they will definitely take the initiative to seek peace, so as to avoid losing their power and falling into a disadvantage in the fight with the other two groups of forces."

Qi Xiu suggested again.

"The alliance of all living things, to protect all living things, the alliance under the city, good proposal."

Hearing this proposal, everyone's eyes lit up slightly.

Those who were able to attend the meeting this time were all powerful senior members of the major ancient religions and families, so they naturally understood everything.

Qi Xiu's suggestion was soon raised, and everyone started to discuss the details of forming the Alliance of All Beings.

This discussion lasted for more than a month.

Finally, with everyone's vote in favor, the idea of ​​forming the Alliance of All Beings was finalized.

Among the thirteen provinces, the Alliance of All Living Beings was formed with the ten major sects in the province as the base and the major sects and families as the support.

Each province can nominate a leader or nominate itself.

The leader of the Alliance of All Living Beings has no binding force on the members of the alliance. His only role is to represent the cultivation community of the province and put pressure on the warlords and governors, forcing them to restrain their blades and stop killing indiscriminately.

On the surface, it seems that the leader of the Alliance of All Living Beings was pushed out to the front to withstand pressure, and he has no power over the members of the alliance.

But those who truly care about the matter will understand.

Being the leader of the Alliance of All Living Beings may seem like a tough job, but in fact it is a good position for accumulating merits in humanity.

Eliminate the killing in the province and save the lives of all living beings.

What a great merit this is.

Moreover, many high-ranking Taoist masters in the field are aware of the existence of the [Tao Alliance].

If the All People Alliance could really successfully force the warlords to stop unnecessary fighting.

That is also a great achievement in the eyes of the Taoist Alliance.

As a result, the alliance of all living beings had to bear the pressure of facing the warlords.

But once successful, the rewards are enormous.

Therefore, almost immediately after this proposal was finalized, the ancient religious families in various provinces began to get restless and began to plan in their minds how to fight for this position.

With a way to deal with the warlords' wanton killings, the secret meeting was disbanded, and a group of Taoist masters hurried back to their own forces to begin preparations for the Alliance of All Living Beings.

After leaving the bamboo forest, Qi Xiu's feet were like the wind. He took a step forward and the ground seemed to curl up. In an instant, he was a thousand miles away. His speed was so fast that it was dizzying and he couldn't see clearly.

Walking on this land, he saw wisps of clear golden humanitarian merits in the void continuously converging towards his head.

Endless merits are constantly integrated into the golden wheel of merit behind him.

In a trance, he saw an ancient and simple bright lamp slowly emerging, shining its eternal brilliant light continuously, reflecting Qi Xiu's figure that became increasingly tall and majestic.

This time, the sects and families in Middle-earth held a parliament.

Qi Xiu did not plan to come in person. Although this meeting was also very important, he had more important matters on hand.

The original plan was to have Taoist Master Yunyang attend the meeting.

But one night before Taoist Yunyang was leaving, he was meditating on a cliff when suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

He changed his mind temporarily and came to the meeting in person.

“The merits of humanity warn me that in the near future, the Middle-earth… no, the entire Tianyuan world will encounter an unprecedented catastrophe.

Although this warlord infighting led to continuous fighting, it also made the ancient sects in the cultivation world realize that the major forces of the human race are now too scattered, like loose sand.

Although those warlords and governors are powerful, they are indeed insignificant compared with the entire cultivation world.

But even so, the ancient sects and powerful families could not do anything to them. Even though they were so angry that their teeth were itching, they could only watch.

The human race is in such a loose situation. If a great catastrophe really comes, can the human race withstand it?

In this case, why not take advantage of the pressure that this warlord infighting has caused to the cultivation world and make a concerted effort to reorganize the current situation of the human race.

Although the Alliance of All Living Beings is only an imperfect idea, it can transform the human cultivation world from scattered sand into solid iron plates.

When a catastrophe strikes in the future, we won’t be caught off guard.

However, I used too much power from the [Command Talisman] this time. How long will it take for my injuries to heal? "

When they arrived in front of a vast, blue-emerald-like clear water lake stretching for eight hundred miles, Qi Xiu stood on the top of a mountain. A strong wind blew, and his Taoist robe fluttered. His wide sleeves fluttered, revealing the horrific scars on his arms.

Those who came to discuss the matter this time were all elders from major ancient sects and even deputy heads like Qi Xiu.

If you want to guide or even dominate the entire direction in front of such people who are in high positions and are all old-fashioned Taoist masters, it is absolutely impossible to do it with just a few words.

After all, given the personalities and levels of these powerful Taoist figures at the meeting, even if you are right, they will still think about it and add their own ideas.

It would be impossible to proceed so smoothly according to Qi Xiu's words.

In order to successfully complete the birth of the Alliance of All Living Beings, Qi Xiu could only use the method of [Command Talisman].

Let the Taoist masters at the meeting subconsciously agree with what you say.

However, affecting such a large number of Dao-body masters at one time was an enormous burden for Qi Xiu.

If his cultivation level was not much higher than before, this backlash from Heaven would have been enough to seriously injure him.

“I hope there’s still time.”

Gazing at the tranquil lake, Qi Xiu looked calm. The next moment, his figure slowly vanished, scattering golden light, and disappeared on the spot.

After he left, ripples appeared on the mirror-like lake surface, as if foreshadowing that the current situation would be completely broken in the near future...

……

As soon as Qi Xiu returned to the mountain gate of Shenxiao Sect, he saw Taoist Yunyang waiting at the entrance with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing Qi Xiu coming back, Taoist Yunyang, who was pacing back and forth, breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward quickly:

"Deputy Master, you are finally back."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Qi Xiu asked with a frown.

Taoist Master Yunyang is the oldest elder in the Shenxiao Sect. It is obviously not an ordinary matter that could make him lose his composure like this.

"The True Master from the Taoist Alliance has arrived and has been waiting for you in the hall for half a month." Qi Xiu was not in the sect, and the sudden arrival of the True Master Yuanshen almost made Taoist Yunyang and other elders of the Yun generation jump out of their throats.

After all, the consequences of the last Gao Tianxiong incident were too great. If it happens again, they won’t be able to withstand such a huge shock.

Fortunately, after the arrival of this True Spirit, he showed his token as a member of the Taoist Alliance and took out the edict of joining the sect written by Dongfang Qing, which made everyone feel at ease.

"The Yuanshen Zhenzun of the Dao League?"

Hearing this, Qi Xiu raised his eyebrows and quickly understood what was going on. He then smiled and said:

“I see, it seems that the head shopkeeper has found all the herbs.

Uncle Yunyang, please go back first, I will handle it."

After letting Taoist Master Yunyang, who had been worried for more than half a month, go back first, Qi Xiu immediately turned around and rode on Qingyun, heading straight for the sect's main peak.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Sect Master Peak, Shen Wansan, the True God of Wealth, who had been waiting for more than half a month, showed a hint of impatience.

In order to find all the medicinal materials on the prescription, he mobilized the entire network of Shen's Wanhuohang and purchased them at high prices. He even spent a huge sum of money to obtain some extinct magical herbs from the Taoist Alliance.

Over the past year, this big businessman has spent a lot of money.

But who would have thought that when he finally gathered all the herbs and went to find Qi Xiu, he found out that this guy was not in the sect.

With no other choice, he had to stay in the Shenxiao Sect and wait for the Taoist priest to return.

"Qi was out discussing matters and didn't know that the True Master was here. I kept the True Master waiting for a long time."

Hearing Qi Xiu's voice, Shen Wansan, who was about to lose his temper, slowly relaxed his frown, but there was still a hint of displeasure on his face.

"Master Qi has been promoted to the deputy headmaster of the Divine Sky Sect. He is very busy with affairs. He is not as free as me."

As the head manager of Shen's Wanhuo Store, Shen Wansan felt aggrieved just thinking about how his true spirit had been left here for half a month.

But he had a request to ask of others, so he couldn't just walk away. He could only make a few sarcastic remarks to satisfy his desire.

"Forgive me, my Lord. I really didn't know you were coming. If I had known, I would have welcomed you with open arms. How could I dare to keep you waiting for so long?"

Stepping into the hall, Qi Xiu apologized to Shen Wansan with a smile.

Seeing Qi Xiu's sincere attitude, Shen Wansan's expression eased, and he no longer cared about this little thing. However, when he turned his head to look at Qi Xiu, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise:

"Are you injured? Is the heaven's law backlashing you?"

After all, he was a true soul. Even though Qi Xiu hid his injuries well, Shen Wansan could still see through his injuries at a glance.

"Yes, there were some accidents, but it's nothing serious."

Waving his hand, Qi Xiu sat down opposite Shen Wansan and said softly:

"Your Excellency, have you come here this time to gather all the medicinal materials?"

His gaze lingered on Qi Xiu's arms for a moment, a strange color appeared in Shen Wansan's eyes, and he spoke slowly:

“Well, although it’s a little slow, at least it’s all together.

Now that I have found all the medicinal materials, when can you help me refine the medicine?"

For a monk, a year is just a blink of an eye.

But for Shen Changming, it meant that he was one step closer to complete annihilation.

So as soon as he had found all the medicinal materials, Shen Wansan went straight to the Shenxiao Sect, intending to ask Qi Xiu to hurry up and refine the heaven-replenishing elixir to cure Shen Changming's congenital disease.

"Now that all the medicinal materials have been found, we can start refining the medicine at any time." Knowing Shen Wansan's urgency, Qi Xiu did not delay and nodded to indicate that he could start refining the medicine immediately.

"That's good, but your injury..."

Looking at Qi Xiu's hands, Shen Wansan showed a hint of worry.

It’s not that he was worried about Qi Xiu, but he was afraid that his poor condition would affect the refining of the divine medicine to nourish the sky.

"Don't worry, my lord. This minor injury won't affect the medicine making process." Knowing what Shen Wansan was worried about, Qi Xiu smiled and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry.

"That's good."

Seeing Qi Xiu so confident, Shen Wansan said no more. He believed that a smart man like Qi Xiu would not choose to lie to a Yuanshen Zhenzun.

He could even endure the backlash from Heaven.

This boy is really an outlier...
