Chapter 223: Young Master Huashan
Chapter 223: Young Master Huashan
Elder Qin frowned slightly as he deepened his memories and said:
“Are you really talking about how we were attacked by the old and new leader of the Holy Cult? But it was so long ago...”
“Yeah, but they pushed me off the mountain! I almost died.”
Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly opened his eyes wide.:
“Wait, how much did you really suffer back then if it still hasn’t passed??!”
Ouyang Ming shook his head.
“Half of my organs burst. For the next year I did not train in solitude, but died. It was only through the grace of our Master, who broke the rules and gave me the Violet Mist Divine Skill, that I was able to survive and recover from my injuries. If it weren't for the flawless Qi, my wounds would remain with me forever.”
“So you had this technique even before the competition for the position of head disciple?! Now it’s clear why you won,” Qin grumbled..
“Yes, it’s all thanks to the platinum technique,” Ouyang Ming smiled nostalgically and embarrassedly. “Divine Skill not only saved my life, but also allowed me to become a top disciple. But I swore to the Master to protect Huashan to the end of my life, even when he gave me this technique.”
Qin shook his head. Now he understood why Ouyang Ming so easily turned a blind eye to tradition and accepted Lin Yi's plans. If tradition had not once been set aside for his own sake, he would now be dead.And therefore, having received the title of chief disciple, he became not the master of the sect, but its guardian.
“Unfortunately, the Violet Mist Divine Skill is not the Shaolin Tendon Change Sutra. Its healing effect is not so strong. Previously, I had enough body resources to hold back injuries, but the years have taken their toll. I don't want to admit it, but it looks like I don't have much time left..”
Ouyang Ming spoke completely calmly, as if he was communicating something that had nothing to do with him.
Qin opened his eyes wide and blurted out in amazement:
“Master!”
“Don’t call me master,” Min smiled slightly. “I have been your big brother Ouyang all my life, and I want to be the rest of it.”.”
Qin swallowed hard, put on a smile that was bursting at the seams, and repeated:
“Older Brother Ouyang...”
The Sect Master smiled. Pointing to the boundless white clouds, he said:
“What do you think is on the other side of the sky? Does reincarnation exist? If so, I would like to become a Huashan student again!”
“Younger brother Ouyang,” Qin laughed softly..
“Haha, even so,” Min smiled sincerely. “Brother, I don’t know how much time I have left, but for my sake, and for the sake of Huashan, help our young master in any way you can. Lin Yi is the one the sect has needed for all these long six centuries. He is a real hero, not a weakling like me. Perhaps his dream will come true, and our beloved Mount Hua will rise above Shaolin and Wudang.”
“Yes, definitely!”
“I hope,” Min smiled, but his laughter made his insides ache.
Qin suddenly felt the disgusting smell of rotten blood and became even more gloomy. What kind of injuries did his older brother suffer??
His organs were probably rotting from the inside.
“Will you tell the boy about this?” Qin asked.
“No!" Min shook his head. “Don’t, under no circumstances tell him about this. Let him believe that there is a strong master behind him. Otherwise, his confidence may be shaken. I want him to look to the future without looking at the past and without doubting himself.”
Elder Qin nodded and lowered his gaze back to the youth who had defeated all the great elders.
“Grow even faster, Lin Yi. First class is not enough, Huashan needs a supreme expert.”
Ouyang Ming, lying down on the sloping roof, silently watched the white clouds and blue sky.
He looked like he could break away and fly into endless distances right now.
.˙.
Eight million experience for Elder Yu, as much as ten for Linghu. And two more for defeating all the great elders of Huashan.
Lin Yi sat and smiled in his palace.
Twenty million experience in a few minutes, and power over all of Huashan. How can you not be happy about this??
The operation went better than anyone could have imagined. He hoped to suppress the great elders by force, but instead he also received approval from the eldest of them, thanks to which everyone on Mount Hua welcomed the new master Huashan.
Now he had truly taken the place of second only to Ouyang Ming. And since the Sect Master rarely made decisions and only cared about stabilizing the situation, in fact, he was the new leader.
It is difficult to even count all the benefits he received in those few minutes.
Lin Yi revealed a map of the entire Central Plains area. Now all Huashan branches, small and large, have been highlighted with red circles.
But the main territories spread from northwest to southeast, and in the same direction, but a little further.
Hua and Eagle Mountains are like two blades hanging on the belt of the Central Plains.
Usually the circles of territories had blurred boundaries, but now, due to the invasion of demons, all the forces of Huashan and the Hangzhou court concentrated on their lands and built dense fortifications along the borders.
But the black corruption of the demons did not yield. Quite the contrary. They covered half the world with their area of influence and continued to expand.
However, the situation was already better than in the previous life.
The Five Mountain Swords Alliance survived, and Huashan suffered almost no losses at all. As a result, demons practically did not step on their territory, but bypassed them. True, because of this, all the pressure fell on the other sects.
However, major battles have not yet broken out, only small skirmishes.
Now the supreme experts waited. Even the first class was not sent into battle, and the second was sent only as commanders for detachments of the third.
Until the main figures take the field, the war will not begin. While everyone was just testing the waters.
Lin Yi smiled. The war was under control. And he finally entered the rank of players at the chess table.
What remained now was to wait for the arrival of the four other sects and unification with the Alliance.
Until then, he still needs to fully take control of Huashan into his own hands. And there are only three days for this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Looking at the twenty million experience points, he bit his lip. This treasure shouldn't just lie there like that.
Experience is only useful when you use it.
Without thinking too much, he spent all twenty million on the next meridian: Ruler's Vessel.
The warm experience joined the flow of Qi and broke through the body, destroying another barrier on the way. Along with an internal explosion, Lin Yi involuntarily took a deep breath - as deeply as he had never inhaled before.
The power filled him with a pleasant, tickling shiver.
He is now a first-class expert who has discovered the two outer meridians. His strength did not double, of course, but the increase was very noticeable.
This time it would be much easier to defeat Elder Linghu.
But the three platinum techniques remained at the same level. During these three days, they needed to get used to how the increased inner strength affected them and reach a new depth in their understanding.
