Yun Xiaozi said: "The Haotian sect that you drove away today, Elder Fang, is the strongest force in the southeast of our country. He once wanted to bring all of us local old and small sects under his sect so that he could dominate the southeast. Fortunately Although our forces in the southeast are relatively weak, they are self-aware and have formed an alliance long ago, so he did not succeed."
Shen Rui smiled slightly and said: "I know what you mean, you are afraid that they will come to me and cause trouble."
Yun Xiaozi nodded and said: "Yes, the martial arts strength you showed today really surprised me, but Li Haotian is a junior martial arts master with countless high-level martial arts sects under his command. You offended him as soon as your puppet sect was established. , he is extremely narrow-minded and will definitely not let you go."
Shen Rui nodded and said: "Thank you, Master Yun, for reminding me. I will be careful." [
Yun Xiaozi said: "In my opinion, you might as well join our alliance and deal with the Haotian Clan together. I believe he knows that you are also a member of our alliance and will not dare to act rashly."
Shen Rui laughed loudly: "I appreciate the kindness of Master Yun, but I, Shen Ruizhi, am not in the southeast. If I can't even deal with a small Haotian Sect, how can I hang around in the southeast."
The reason why he drove Elder Fang away was actually an extremely important move to establish his power in the southeast.
Yun Xiaozi saw that Shen Rui was not willing to join the Southeast Alliance, so he did not force it, and said: "Since Sect Master Shen is unwilling to join our alliance, I will not force it. If you need it, you can send someone to me at any time."
After Yun Xiaozi said goodbye to Shen Rui, Shen Rui personally sent him outside the sect.
After seeing off Yun Xiaozi, Shen Rui arrived at the main hall of the Puppet Sect. Wei Chong and others had been waiting for him for a long time. Linghu Tong smiled and said: "Today's opening ceremony was really enjoyable. Look at those people from the sect who met us." The strength of the Wu Puppet has scared everyone, I think they will never dare to underestimate our Puppet Sect again."
Shen Rui said: "That's what I say, but we have offended the Haotian Sect. They will definitely use today's incident as an excuse to take the opportunity to eliminate us. I heard that the Haotian Sect is a bit strong, so everyone should be careful."
Cui Haodao: "With our current financial and material resources, it is no longer a problem to build a few mid-level super puppets. Li Haotian may not be our opponent by then."
Everyone nodded and said, "If we create a few more martial puppets, we can destroy the Haotian Clan."
Shen Rui said: "Although this is the case, our goal is not Haotian Sect, but Ouyang Bushi. Before we have the absolute strength to defeat Ouyang Bushi, we cannot be too high-profile, and there is no need for us to have a grudge against Haotian Sect. Kill them, and if Li Haotian comes to provoke us, we can find a way to make him retreat."
Everyone nodded, but Shen Rui took a longer-term view of things. After everyone dispersed, Shen Rui left Hao Liantong and Linghu Tong behind.
"Elder Hao, I have something to discuss with you," Shen Rui said.
"Sect Master, if you have something to say, I will never frown even if I go up to the mountain of swords or to the sea of fire." Hao Liantong said immediately.
"It's not that serious. We now have many treasures left by the Puppet Clan and the Soul Sacrifice Clan. We have very strong financial and material resources, but we can't just sit back and have nothing, so I think..."
When Hao Liantong heard this, he laughed: "Sect Master, don't worry, I am the best at opening a chamber of commerce. Our Soul Sacrifice Clan also held a chamber of commerce back then, and I was the president."
Shen Rui felt relieved when he heard this, and he continued: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I investigated and found that because the southeastern part is located in a remote area, few large outside chambers of commerce come to intervene, and the local Some chambers of commerce are very small, and this is our opportunity."
Hao Liantong said: "Give me a few years, and I will make the chamber of commerce prosperous."
Shen Rui lightly punched his chest: "Thank you, but I have wronged you."
Hao Liantong smiled and said: "What's wrong with me? It's the same as doing things for the clan, but it's different." [
After Hao Liantong left, Shen Rui turned around and faced Linghu Tong.
Linghu Tong admired Shen Rui very much, because Shen Rui did not alienate him because he was not Hun Lao's confidant, but used him in the same way as Wei Chong and Hao Liantong.
"Elder Linghu, I heard that you are a senior blacksmith." Shen Rui asked with a smile.
Linghu Tong patted his chest and said: "When it comes to the strength of senior martial arts masters, I dare not say that they are the strongest, but when it comes to forging, there are few people on this continent who can compare with me."
Shen Rui believed what he said. Mr. Hun once told him that Linghu Tong's master was the number one blacksmith of the Soul Sacrifice Clan back then. His master forged Ouyang Bushi's Holy Soul Sacred Artifact. His master died. After that, there were few people on this continent who could compare with his forging ability.
Shen Rui smiled and said, "I have something to ask you."
Linghu Tong was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Clan leader... The clan master has any instructions, so you don't have to be so polite."
Shen Rui took out the Broken Saber and the Sacred Artifact Sword, and said to Linghu: "Your great elder told me that if you fuse this holy weapon with the Soul Sacrifice Sword, you can also forge a Holy Soul Sacred Artifact. I don't know. Is that what happened?"
Linghu Tong took the two swords, his eyes lit up, and said: "Give me two months, I will be able to forge a peerless sword, but..."
Shen Rui said: "Nothing, is there any problem?"
Linghu Tong smiled bitterly and said: "This holy soul weapon is not that easy to make. The fusion of the two swords requires a senior soul body as a guide. Where can we get a senior soul body."
Shen Rui smiled and said: "What did I think it was? Mr. Hun, I'll leave this matter to you."
Elder Hun appeared from the broken saber. When Linghu Tong saw him, he hurriedly bowed and said, "See the Great Elder."
Hun Lao waved his hand and said: "I obtained the soul body of a high-level martial master some time ago, and now I can serve as a guide for you."
After speaking, he took out a white soul body and said: "I have destroyed his memory of this soul body. You can just forge it without worry."
Linghu Tong was overjoyed and immediately put his soul body into the ring and happily went to the forging room to forge it.
Hun Lao looked at Linghu Tong's back and said: "Linghu Tong is a talent. You have to let him use him to his fullest potential and ask him to recruit more disciples."
Shen Rui nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know how to do it."
Hun Lao Nai said: "The nest that I have lived in for hundreds of years is gone all of a sudden. I really can't adapt to it!"
Shen Rui said: "I have so many rings on my body, I'm afraid I won't have a place to live."
Soul Lao sighed: "I can only make do with it."
He changed the subject and said: "In half a year it's time for you to compete with the Golden Soul. How are you practicing the Soul Sacrifice Technique? Come on, go to a place where no one is around and let me see." [
Shen Rui said: "Don't worry, I practice every day, Golden Soul will definitely not be my opponent when the time comes."
Mr. Hun sneered: "Jin Hun is my disciple. I know him best. He is a genius in the soul sacrificial technique. You can't be better than him. Okay, no more words, let's leave quickly."
After saying that, he got into the ring on Shen Rui's hand,
