When Du Zhimu, Du Zhihuo, Du Ziwei, Du Pengyu and others heard that Du Xuan became the Lord of the Demon Valley, they were all very happy. The Lord of the Demon Valley, who was only twenty-five years old, was the youngest valley master in the history of the Demon Valley.
Du Xuan is a disciple of the Du Mansion. Now that he has rebuilt the Demon Valley, the Du Mansion should have strong support. However, at the Du Mansion Elders' Meeting, this was not expected.
Now that Du Zhitu has unexpectedly become the lord of the palace, let alone Du Zhihuo feel uncomfortable, even Du Zhijin is very unhappy. Since Du Zhitu took the position of lord of the palace, he has vigorously promoted his direct line and gradually controlled the cities in various places.
The secret of the Shaoshuo Sect was leaked, and Du Pengyu was unlucky. He was demoted by Du Zhitu to Wanhe City near the wild forest. He was not the city lord, but the camp leader of the city guard camp.
As for the Raptors Association, which Du Pengyu was demoted, he was naturally occupied by Du Zhitu's daughter Du Pengyun.
However, strangely, Du Zhihuo's son Du Pengfei was still entrusted with important tasks and continued to take on the role of the lone wolf. Du Zhitu's son Du Pengze was still in charge of the lone wolf's outer sect, which is puzzling.
What is even more confusing is that Du Zhihuo's grandson, Du Yumu, now the most dazzling direct disciple of the Du family, has also been entrusted with an important task and has served as the deputy city lord of Du City, which is surprising.
Logically speaking, Du Zhimu nominated Du Zhihuo as the new head of the Du Mansion in the Wuhuo Hall, and Du Zhitu should regard Du Zhihuo as a great threat. While attacking Du Zhimu, he should also attack Du Zhihuo's direct disciples. However, Du Zhitu used Du Zhihuo's son and grandson, which is really puzzling.
Palace of Renyi.
Du Zhitu was full of energy and was sitting high in the main position of the mansion, while the other four elders sat on both sides.
"Everyone." Du Zhitu looked around the elders and smiled, "I didn't expect that Xuan'er had achieved such a success after practicing demon cultivation for ten years. Not only did he become a great demon master, but he is now the master of the Demon Valley. He really won glory for the Du Mansion!"
"Haha, Xuan'er is extremely talented and has worked hard to practice. It is a great blessing for me to achieve this." Du Ziwei nodded and was very pleased.
"Okay!" Du Zhijin has always had a bad face recently and hummed with a stern face, "Xuan'er wrote to ask for help. How much should we support? Let's decide earlier. I still have something to do, don't be too slow!"
"Xuan'er is my disciple of Du's family. We should naturally support him and help him stabilize the position of Lord of the Demon Valley as soon as possible." Du Zhihuo took over and said.
Du Zhitu nodded with a smile, looked at Du Zhimu who had not spoken, and asked, "Brother, Xuan'er is your grandson. How much do you think we should fund?"
Du Zhimu bowed slightly and said, "I am not convenient to talk to you, it depends on the decision of the Lord of the Mansion."
"What did you say? Xuan'er is your grandson, not my disciple of the Du family, nor is it the nephew of the old men." Du Zhitu smiled when he stroked his beard.
Then, Du Ziwei was about to speak, but saw Du Zhitu frowned slightly and immediately said, "But, because Xuan'er is a disciple of my Du family, if we support it with all our strength, we may end up talking to others, saying that Demon Valley has become a vassal of my Du family. Now that the crisis in my Du family has just passed, I think it's better to be cautious in dealing with things."
As soon as these words came out, Du Zhi frowned slightly and snorted: "Hmph! Du Xuan, the position of the Lord of the Demon Valley, was not his own initiative to fight for it, nor was it his help from my Du Mansion. It was all due to him being highly valued by Gu Qingshan. Why not be afraid of others' gossip!"
Seeing this, Du Zhihuo immediately hummed, "Brother Jin is right! The lord of the mansion is afraid of this and that, and he is afraid of his hands and feet. He is not as good as the lord of my Du Mansion. He is almost the first-class member of the Nine Palace Flame Clan. He can only look at people's faces, hum!"
"Elder Fire!" Du Zhitu looked embarrassed and shouted, "I put the overall situation of the Du Mansion first in every place, so don't lie! The situation in my Du Mansion is not as good as the Nine Palace Yan Clan. If you don't think carefully about things, wouldn't you lead to other people's life?"
"Hmph! I have something to do, so let's take a step first." Du Zhihuo snorted coldly, and after that, he left directly.
Bang!
"Random!" Du Zhitu suddenly slapped the table, stared at Du Zhihuo's back, and said angrily, "We are discussing important matters in the mansion, how can you leave at will? Do you still look like an elder? What kind of decent style? Have you taken the rules of the ancestors of my Du Mansion seriously?"
Du Zhihuo stopped, without fear, turned around and snorted, "Hmph, rules? You, the lord of the mansion, always put the overall situation of the Du mansion first, but you exclude others for your own selfish interests. There are rules! Although the Nine Palace Yan tribe is afraid of the power of the Tang Gang, at least they will not exclude and suppress brothers and fellow disciples! Humph, I think you, the lord of the mansion, may be how you asked for it!"
"You, don't talk nonsense!"
Du Zhitu was so angry that he was so angry that he was glaring at Du Zhihuo's bad temper. He had no choice but to use soft people, but Du Zhihuo did not take this trick. He used hard people, but Du Zhihuo was a martial artist in the Divine Realm. His strength was second only to Du Zhimu in the Du Mansion, so he could not do anything about it.
In the past, Du Ziwei would have stood up to persuade him to make peace, but at this time, he was silent, as if he could smell a strange smell from Du Zhihuo's words.
Du Zhihuo strode away, and Du Zhitu had no choice but to do anything.
After a moment, Du Zhitu asked coldly: "What do you think about the matter of sponsoring the Demon Valley?"
Du Zhijin looked at Du Zhimu and Du Ziwei who had no intention of speaking. After thinking about it, he snorted coldly: "The master of the mansion has made a decision in his heart, why should he ask me? What's the use of our opinions before?"
"Hmph." Du Zhitu snorted coldly and said directly, "Since that's the case, I will decide! Now my Du family is not well-off. I have just survived several disasters, and Du Xuan is a disciple of my Du family. It is not unavoidable for others to criticize him, so I should fund 100 taels of gold."
After saying that, Du Zhitu left without waiting for everyone's words.
Not long after, the Du Mansion sent his disciples to provide subsidies for the Demon Valley, and there were only a few taels of gold in total, which was even worse than the poorest Yan clan.
That night.
Du Ziwei quietly came to Du Zhimu's study. Now Du Zhimu has lost power, and there are only secret guards that no one knows about in his hands, and he can hardly get involved in the affairs of the Du family. Although he is free, he still sighs every day and looks sad.
"Ziwei is here." Du Zhimu let Du Ziwei into the study and said lightly.
"Brother." Du Ziwei sat down with a smile. After confirming that there were no suspicious people around him, he whispered, "I thought about what Brother Huo said today, and I felt that it was not impossible."
Du Zhimu frowned slightly, confused, and asked, "What is Zhihuo talking about?"
"The position of the lord of Du Zhitu." Du Ziwei said slowly word by word.
"The position of the lord of the palace?" Du Zhimu was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said in surprise, "Are you talking about him, colluding with foreign gangs?"
Du Ziwei nodded and said, "When in the Wuhun Hall, why did the Shawang Sect insist on Du Zhitu as the lord? The affairs of my Du Mansion have never been allowed to interfere. Besides, who is the Du Mansion, the relationship with his Shawang Sect has to do with him?"
"The fire is strong, and the earth is only the realm of Dharma Dao. The weaker the Lord of Du Mansion, they will naturally not be afraid." Du Zhimu said.
Du Ziwei immediately said: "I thought so at the beginning too! But why didn't the Shawang Sect and the Tang Gang take the opportunity to expel our Du Mansion from the ASEAN Presbyterian Council? Although most of the Wumen would not agree, they could at least fight for it. Even if they could not achieve their goal, they could still settle for the second best and ask our Du Mansion Lord and all the elders to replace them."
"After all, we elders will definitely not be able to escape the secrets of the Shaoshu Sect. If the Lord and the elders all change, the strength of the Du Mansion will definitely be even more hit."
Du Zhitu frowned, his heart was already full of anger, but he still said, "Maybe they thought that changing the palace lord would cause a fight between us and intensify internal friction between our Du Mansion."
"Yes, there is also this possibility." Du Ziwei continued, "But, I think it is more likely that Zhitu has secretly colluded with Shawang Sect or the Tang Gang!"
"And now, Shawang Sect has sent many disciples to station in cities in various parts of our Du Mansion, under the name of "assistant defense", but in fact, they are probably infiltrating into our Du Mansion step by step. The secrets of Shaoshu Sect are leaking, and it was Shawang Sect's first to learn about it!"
Du Zhimu suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up, and slowly paced in the room. If it was Du Ziwei's words, then the current crisis in the Du Mansion has not yet been resolved, but there is a greater crisis waiting for the Du Mansion.
"Three months ago, I discovered that there was a magic master near the Shaoshu Sect, but there was no trace in a blink of an eye. I guess it was at that time that someone brought the magic master into the Du Mansion and discovered the secrets of the Shaoshu Sect." Du Ziwei said again.
Du Zhimu was startled and asked, "How can the Demonic Master find it?"
Du Ziwei sighed lightly and said, "There is a pill that temporarily hides the breath of demonic energy, which can make the demon cultivator like a mortal in a short time without being noticed."
"Why didn't I know there was such a pill!" Du Zhimu was shocked.
Du Ziwei shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "This kind of elixir is a partial sect, and it is usually rarely used by people, and it is only effective for demon cultivators. Therefore, many people don't know. I have only recently remembered this kind of elixir."
Du Zhimu thought for a moment, and had a conclusion in his mind, saying, "Ziwei, let me tell me if you have any discoveries."
"Yeah, then I'll leave first."
After Du Ziwei left, Du Zhimu quickly summoned the secret guards. According to Du Ziwei's news, he would do his best to investigate who brought the Demon Master into the Du Mansion, whether Du Zhitu really colluded with foreign gangs, and whether Shawang Sect's disciples in the Du Mansion had any tricks and conspiracies.
*******
The Demon Valley received funding from the Wumen and various families one after another, and the reconstruction was in full swing. The Kuyin in the Demon City had as many as hundreds of thousands of taels of taels of gold. There was naturally no problem in completing the Demon Repair Tower and other major buildings.
On the fifteenth day after Du Xuan and his friends returned to the Demon City, Long Wanshan, who had not seen for a long time, rushed back to the Demon City. Moreover, on the same day, Gu Jinxuan also rushed back to the Demon City from the Wumen.
Originally, Gu Jinxuan was going to rush back to the Demon City when he heard the news of the destruction of the Demon Valley, but none of the Demon Valley elders survived, so the Wumen forced Gu Jinxuan to keep him, afraid that she would do something stupid.
Now that the news of the reconstruction of the Demon Valley has been passed back to the Wumen, the Lord of the Demon Valley is Du Xuan who Gu Jinxuan longs for a long time, she naturally rushed back from the Wumen immediately.
