The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

These words also surprised Wu Nian a little. He looked at her. She was a very smart girl. She could remain calm and composed at critical moments and stabilize the morale of the troops. She was a good candidate for the leader.

At the very beginning, he noticed her in the theater, but he had only heard a few words about her in the world and didn't take it to heart.

I always feel that this child's fate is the same as her master's, where she attracts jealousy and is prone to many rumors. She is always faced with villains and disasters, and her life is quite bumpy.

At this moment, Mu Hanxing's words made all the disciples of the mountain gate even more shocked. Some of them were shocked and happy, while others began to feel ashamed, because before this they all thought that the second master was a willful person and did not deserve the title at all. However, they did not expect... that the person who had been in the mountain the longest but had the hardest time to see through people's hearts was Mu Hanxing who had returned to the mountain recently... No, Elder Yaoguang.

As expected of her, she is Elder Yaoguang. Now they are already convinced and no longer dare to say that she is possessed by a demon.

"I have never liked to be confined to the mountains, so I have been away from Wenxin Sect for almost all years. After Lu Xin left, Cui Ren took charge of many affairs. I also don't like to meddle in politics. I didn't expect... Oh..." Wu Nian shook his head, a look of dejection on his face, "I just wanted to come back to see Lu Xin occasionally. I really thought he was the best among all the disciples back then. Who would have thought that Qiongqi was released? In Wenxin Sect, only the head elder has the spell to release the forbidden beast. I don't think Huanyun would do such a thing."

Wu Nian had guessed everything when he came.

All the disciples lowered their heads in silence, and they all felt that their previous selves were extremely absurd, especially Lin Yifeng. He gritted his teeth and hated himself for not being able to judge people well. Before, because Cui Ren was his master, he chose to blindly believe everything he said. Perhaps he had been deceiving himself for a long time.

Be it him or other disciples in the mountain sect, they have never looked at things with their own eyes, which is why they are easily manipulated by others, become pawns of other people's political plots, and become people who follow the crowd.

"I will now imprison Qiongqi back in the forbidden area. Elders Huanyun and Yaoguang, please follow me." Wunian said, and walked ahead.

"Okay." Tang Huanyun instructed Lin Yifeng before leaving, "Then you will be responsible for calling out all the disciples of the mountain gate, repeating today's events to them, calming their emotions, and organizing the repairs of the mountain gate."

Lin Yifeng didn't expect that Elder Tang would give him such an important task. He was a little overwhelmed but still quickly replied: "Yes, Elder!"

Mu Hanxing looked around at his ministers and said to them, "People from Fuyue City, you all go back to your rooms and rest first. Call Qionghua from the medicine furnace to check your external and internal injuries. I'll be back soon."

Several people nodded and watched her leave.

Mu Hanxing and Tang Huanyun followed Wu Nian back to the forbidden area. It felt like a lifetime ago when they came here again.

Along the way, Wu Nian thought about many things. He was not a perfect person and he had done many wrong things when he was young. Now, the Wenxin Sect had no leader and many important matters needed him to take charge. It was time for him to fulfill the duties of the so-called "second leader" and he should not be attached to the worldly world anymore.

He was the first to enter the forbidden area, took a look at the stone map of the forbidden area, and fell silent. Then he planned to cast a spell by himself to place the Qiongqi in the demon-collecting mirror back to the bottom of the abyss deep in the forbidden area.

Mu Hanxing and Tang Huanyun were waiting at the gate at the bottom of the abyss. The last time they came, it was pitch black everywhere. She didn't even notice that there was a black iron gate in the deepest part of the forbidden area. When the gate was opened, it was the place where the monsters were suppressed.

Wu Nian leaped forward and landed steadily at the bottom of the valley. He raised his hand to condense his spiritual power, and the monster in the mirror was quickly placed at the bottom of the valley. He then cast a spell to put heavy shackles on the seriously injured Qiongqi, and added a series of spells to imprison it here again. Without the sect leader's spell, it would never see the light of day.

After everything was done, Wu Nian flicked his sleeves and was about to leave. At this moment, the demon beast behind him made a hoarse sound: "Wait..."

Wu Nian stopped and turned his back to it.

Qiongqi looked down upon him and sneered: "Do you know why I exist in this world?"

Wu Nian had no interest in the monsters, his only duty was to subdue them. He said coldly, "I have fulfilled my duty. I am not interested in you."

Qiongqi, however, kept talking to himself and insisted on finishing his words. He said, "The way of heaven in this world is that yin and yang are balanced, and life and death are relative. Ha, ha ha ha! I was born to eat humans! You get rid of me to defend the way of heaven, but my existence is to balance this world! With so many people, the three realms would have run out of supplies long ago! Even if it weren't for me, humans would kill each other just for a mouthful of porridge! Do you understand?"

Wu Nian frowned in silence.

"The two factions of Wenxin Sect have been fighting for a long time, but you have turned a blind eye. One day, if the Three Realms are about to be destroyed and everyone is fighting for themselves, do you think your disciples will still have the mind to get rid of me? Hahahaha!" Qiongqi laughed heartily, as if he was mocking the stupid humans in this world.

Wu Nian said nothing more, letting it laugh as much as it wanted in the hell of endless suffering.

He put one hand behind his back and walked up to the sky alone. In just a moment, he returned to the ground from the abyss. Then he waved his long sleeves and the door behind him closed tightly.

Then his fingertips lit up with spiritual light, and twelve spells were sealed on the door.

"Second Sect Leader." Tang Huanyun called him in the dark and silent forbidden room.

Wu Nian looked at them worriedly and sighed, "I don't like these mountain gate affairs. It's more like a dereliction of duty than escaping. I can't compare with Lu Xin in this respect. He values ​​friendship and responsibility, so I proposed to the headmaster to give him the position of the new headmaster. Maybe from that moment on, Cui Ren began to have bad intentions and tried every means to take the position of the headmaster back, but I didn't care about the power struggle and left the mountain safely. I think... these are also my negligence. I am unworthy of the title of the second headmaster."

Mu Hanxing felt a little uncomfortable and advised him: "Second Sect Leader, it's not a bad thing that you like to travel around, you just don't think about it that much."

We can't blame people with pure hearts just because they have many schemes.

People like her who hold power naturally have to think about how to fight against the enemy every day. Wu Nian is different. He is capable and talented, and he doesn't like power, so he simply doesn't bother to think about these things.

"Don't worry, you two. After this incident, I will stay in Wenxin Sect for a while longer to stabilize the situation and allow all the disciples to feel at ease and continue their cultivation. As for the new sect leader..." Wu Nian glanced at Mu Hanxing and Tang Huanyun, his eyes wandering between the two.

Mu Hanxing quickly answered: "Senior, please hand over the position of the new head to my adoptive father!"

This shocked both of them, and they looked puzzled.
