I cut off my love, and my senior brother and master regretted it.

Chapter 266 The Grand Hall Master Appears

There are two types of monks in Zhenmo Pass.

One is to stay inside the pass. If any demons break through the Demon-Suppressing Pass and come to the rear, the monks who stay inside the pass will be responsible for killing those who escape the net.

One type is the monks who take the initiative to come out and fight against the demons.

In Fu Liyang's opinion, Ning Ruoxi was the latter type of cultivator since she was able to complete the task so quickly.

"I went to the Demon-Suppressing Pass, but I didn't find you." Fu Liyang looked at Ning Ruoxi and asked.

Ning Ruoxi told the truth: "Palace Master, I am at the Demon Suppression Pass in Yangchen Territory."

"There are many powerful forces in the Immortal Realm, and with the presence of our Immortal God Temple, it is not a problem for us to guard the Demon Suppression Pass."

“The overall strength of the cultivators in Yangchen Territory is weaker than that in Xian Territory, so I thought that hunting demons there would be a way to repay my hometown.”

"Yangchen Realm?" Fu Liyang actually didn't care which realm Ning Ruoxi went to hunt the demons. As long as Ning Ruoxi returned to the Immortal Temple, his plan would still be in progress.

But he had to be prepared. The next time Ning Ruoxi left the Immortal Temple, he had to keep a close eye on her and not lose her like he did this time.

"Okay, now that the mission is completed, let's go back to the cave and rest!"

"Palace Master, there is one thing I don't understand. Why do you want us to hunt down the demons in the form of a mission? I don't think other forces are like the Immortal God Palace."

Other major forces did not assign any tasks to their disciples to hunt down demons. They just asked all disciples to go out of the sect and kill as many demons as they could.

We cannot allow the demons to lay their hands on every inch of human settlement.

Fu Liyang replied: "This is what the Grand Hall Master meant."

Ning Ruoxi couldn't understand the significance of this mission. Hunting demons is the responsibility of every cultivator in the immortal world, but if hunting demons is treated as a mission, things become distorted.

"The invasion of the demons cannot be resolved in a short time. After the one-year mission assessment is over, there will be new missions."

"Ning Baibai, the Immortal Temple is not as simple as you think!"

Fu Liyang left, leaving Ning Ruoxi alone in deep thought. She could tell that Fu Liyang was pointing at her. For some reason, Fu Liyang couldn't say it directly, so he could only hint at some words to make Ning Ruoxi understand.

"Why is Fu Liyang telling me all this? Could it be that he is not as powerful as I think he is?" Ning Ruoxi carefully recalled every word Fu Liyang said.

"In theory, he is the supreme being in the Seventh Palace. He cannot speak to me directly about some things. He must be under some kind of restriction. There is only one way to make a peak Immortal Emperor so cautious in his words."

"That is to force him to swear an oath to heaven!" Ning Ruoxi felt that her idea might be true.

You must know that the Temple of Immortals and Gods enshrines the Way of Heaven!

But if he made an oath to heaven, wouldn’t Fu Liyang be courting death if he tried to do something tricky?

"No, he might be using me to escape the control of the Heavenly Oath."

Maybe the real reason wasn't this, but Ning Ruoxi felt that her guess was pretty close.

"What he wants most is for me to replace him as the Palace Master. I'm afraid that only then will I know everything."

"But before that, I would like to learn about the First Hall. This First Hall is also very suspicious. Why should all the hall masters listen to the master of the First Hall?"

"Even the assessment of the hall masters has to be conducted by the hall master of the first hall. It seems that he has the final say in all decisions of the Immortal God Hall. From this point of view, the other hall masters are just puppets..."

.......
It has been a year since the Immortal God Temple sent out all its disciples to hunt down the demons, and all the disciples have returned to the Immortal God Temple. Among the disciples, the only one who can be said to be familiar with Ning Ruoxi is Fang Qiansui.

Fang Qiansui felt that Ning Ruoxi was a close friend, so he sought out Ning Ruoxi as soon as he returned to the Temple of Immortal Gods.

"Junior Sister Ning, how are you?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Senior Brother Fang is still as charming as ever!"

“Haha, if I hadn’t helped other disciples kill the demons, I would have returned to the Immortal Temple long ago.”

"Oh? What does Senior Brother Fang mean by this?"

"Junior Sister Ning, you don't know yet, right? In fact, we can ask others for help in our mission. It's a skill to be able to ask others for help, and the Palace Master and the others won't mind it."

Ning Ruoxi frowned. What exactly was the intention of the First Hall Master in assigning this task?

Fang Qiansui smiled and said, "Junior Sister Ning, are you wondering why you can ask someone to help you complete the task?"

"Please enlighten me, brother."

"In fact, the purpose of this mission is to recruit more disciples for the First Hall. You should know that disciples who fail the mission will join the First Hall, right?"

Ning Ruoxi nodded, "I know, but why do you want to join the First Hall?"

Fang Qiansui lowered his voice and said:

"Among the Immortal God Temples, only the First Hall is dedicated to the Heavenly Dao. The disciples who were sent to the First Hall are no longer themselves. Everything they have is sacrificed to the Heavenly Dao. This is the true punishment for them."

"This..." Ning Ruoxi continued to ask: "Do the other disciples in the hall know about this?"

"We know a little bit, but no one cares. After all, the resources of the Immortal God Palace are the best in the Immortal Realm, and as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they won't be sent to the First Palace. Even if they are sent there, they won't die, right?"

"They are no longer themselves? What does this mean? What have they sacrificed to the Heavenly Dao?"

"I also heard it from others. I can't explain the specific things clearly. I'm afraid only people at the level of palace masters know everything." Fang Qiansui said casually.

"This time, there are still some disciples who have not completed their tasks and will join the First Hall. The First Hall Master will also show up. If you are curious, you can go to the First Hall to take a look."

"The Lord of the First Hall will also show up?"

"Yes! Every time a disciple joins the First Hall, the First Hall Master will appear to preside over the ceremony. He is the real ruler of the Immortal God Hall, but he is too mysterious and there is little news about him."

.......
Just as Fang Qiansui said, half a month later, Fu Liyang gathered together the disciples in the Seventh Hall who had not passed the task assessment, and these disciples set out for the First Hall together.

Including the disciples from other halls who had not completed their tasks.

Ning Ruoxi came alone to the jurisdiction of the First Hall to investigate the situation, but found that she was too cautious and many disciples also came here to watch the fun.

The gatekeeper disciples of the First Hall did not stop him.

All the disciples who had not completed their tasks gathered in a large square. At this time, a strong male voice shouted, "The Grand Master has arrived!"

The eleven hall masters, including Fu Liyang, bowed in unison towards the door of the First Hall and said, "Greetings, Grand Hall Master!"

A child less than three feet tall walked out of the First Hall. Ning Ruoxi's eyes narrowed as she looked at the child in disbelief, "Huang Tian..."
