Chapter 235: Massive Attack (2)
The Second Sword Master Chong and the Corpse Demon Venerable are here.
These days, while Shenzui and others were helping Lu Yi with initiation and passing on his skills, and helping him forge magical instruments, the two of them were running around outside, urging their disciples to gather information everywhere.
The Xinjian Sect has the Haojian Palace as its supporter, and the influence of the Haojian Palace covers almost all the princes and aristocratic families in East Shenzhou.
They were very efficient in collecting information. Over the past month, they had collected a lot of information from East Shenzhou, and even from Far East Mingzhou further east. There had not been any major changes in East Shenzhou, but some small and medium-sized princes seemed to be secretly controlled by someone.
In the territories of small and medium-sized princes, some women and children disappeared, and the prices of some antiques began to skyrocket. Because of some inexplicable antiques, there were even massacres of entire families.
And in Mingzhou in the far east, the situation is even worse.
In the Far East Mingzhou, most of its territory is made up of large and small archipelagos in the ocean. Relying on the boundless ocean, the archipelagos in the Far East Mingzhou are rich in resources and contain many rare deep-sea treasures.
In particular, the spiritual power of heaven and earth collapsed, but in the deep sea, especially at the bottom of the unfathomable ocean, there are said to be some blessed places that have preserved the spiritual charm of heaven and earth comparable to the three religions.
From time to time, some rare and extremely valuable treasures would appear on the islands of all sizes in the Far East Mingzhou.
This kind of thing happens once or twice every ten years or so.
The Wanhuan Sect and the Yiqi Sect of Taoism are both located in the territory of Mingzhou in the far east. Whenever such natural treasures from the deep sea are washed up by the waves, the disciples of the two sects are bound to have some conflicts.
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth shows signs of revival, the number of natural treasures that have emerged from the deep sea in the Far East Mingzhou has increased significantly in recent months. Wanhuan Sect and Yiqi Sect have sent a large number of disciples to plunder these unexpected fortunes...
"One hundred and twenty-seven disciples of the inner sect of Wanhuan Sect died. The disciples of Yiqi Sect are good at fighting and their ability to adapt to situations is much stronger than the disciples of Wanhuan Sect. Even so, ninety-two people were killed, and more than ten people were seriously injured and escaped."
In the quiet room, Chong Er Sword Master told Shen Zui the news he had received: "In the Far East Mingzhou, there is a large island called Wulong . A massacre occurred on the island. A total of 23 large cities, with a total of more than 30 million people, were slaughtered overnight... After testing by the elders of the Yiqi Sect, all the souls, essence and blood of the people who were killed were completely drained."
After a slight pause, the second sword master's voice became much deeper: "What's worse is that all their hair and skin were stripped away..."
The Corpse Demon Venerable at the side coughed dryly and said, "This sounds like the method of our Demon Sect. To refine many of the Demon Sect's secret treasures, human skin and hair are used... But the Far East Mingzhou is the territory of the Wanhuan Sect and the Yiqi Sect. My fellow Demon Sect members would not be stupid enough to go there and cause trouble."
The Corpse Demon Venerable began to tell the information he had collected.
The Corpse Demon Cave is an outlier in the Demon Sect, and their specialty is to refine all kinds of strange zombies. Their disciples travel around all year round, looking for those extremely yin and evil caves to collect the evil energy and bring it back to the sect to breed zombies.
Therefore, the Corpse Demon Cave has large and small data points in various states of Dayin, and the information is extremely sensitive.
Like East Shenzhou, there are some problems with local officials in all states of Dayin, at the prefecture, county, and county levels. They, or their families, behave very differently from the past, as if they were puppets controlled by others.
In these states, military prefectures and counties, there was also a large-scale disappearance of beautiful women and intelligent children.
However, due to the cover-up by local officials and even the local tyrants and powerful families, these things happened quietly and the news did not spread.
"My disciples in the Corpse Demon Cave and some of my secular followers have discovered that the gold, silver and other precious metals in the warehouses of many states and counties have been emptied."
The Corpse Demon Venerable had a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "The spiritual power of heaven and earth has collapsed. What has collapsed is the path of cultivators like us, and what has collapsed is the conditions for the gestation of those rare and precious spiritual medicines. But those gold, silver, these precious metals, their properties are stable, and their effects have nothing to do with the spiritual power of heaven and earth."
Lu Yi, who was standing behind Shenzui, nodded slowly.
Although he didn't know how to refine weapons, the inheritance of the Supreme Beiming Immortal Sect said that precious metals such as gold and silver were the basic materials for cultivators to set up formations and refine weapons. Many commonly used formations and formation tools required huge amounts of gold and silver to refine.
In the world of cultivation, gold and silver are not valuable things; they are merely included in the list of basic supplies.
But precisely because it is a foundation, it is indispensable.
Without enough gold and silver, no matter how many spiritual materials and rare treasures you have, it is difficult to set up a large formation, or refine large-scale magical instruments, tokens, flags, etc.
Dayin had been peaceful for many years, and the amount of gold and silver stored in the warehouses of various states and counties must have been an astronomical figure.
If all these gold and silver precious metals were emptied...
Not to mention that Dayin’s local finances will have big problems, those cultivators from Yuanlingtian have enough basic materials, and God knows what they will do?
"What's even more interesting is that they did something that our sect didn't do." The corpse demon master looked a little strange: "According to the news sent back by our disciples, in the dozen states around Gaojing, nearly ten thousand tombs of dignitaries of the previous dynasty have been completely dug out."
The Corpse Demon Venerable shook his head repeatedly: "It's not particular, it's really not particular. Death is the greatest thing. Disciples of my Demon Sect will not dig up other people's ancestral graves without reason... The dynasties in the secular world will not touch the tombs of the royal family and nobles of the previous dynasty without reason."
The Corpse Demon Venerable lightly slapped the armrest of the chair and shattered it: "But they did it. And they did it with great fanfare and recklessness. Some mausoleums even had their burial mounds opened, and the entire mausoleum was exposed in broad daylight."
"What if they even dig a tunnel to get in? They're already dead, why not give them some dignity?"
"They are not even as good as us, the Demon Sect."
Shenzui frowned, playing with a string of red shining Buddhist beads with both hands. He pondered for a long time before speaking quietly: "Fahai, what have you learned from those people these days?"
Lu Yi responded, walked out the door and greeted someone. Not long after, Yu Dianhu came running over with a huge booklet in his hands.
Lu Yi took the booklet and presented it to Shenzui.
"These are the confessions of Qing Minyu, Xie Fugui, Xie Youqian and others... When it comes to interrogation by torture, the Palace Guards are professionals. After their cultivation was sealed, their ability to endure pain is not much better than that of ordinary people."
Shenzui opened the book and said to the Second Sword Master Chong and the Corpse Demon Venerable: "These days, the two of you have been traveling outside, and I am in charge of Wuzhou City. Although the surroundings are calm, but according to the confessions of those visitors from Yuanlingtian... Let's take a look!"
"The first group of invaders to Yuanlingtian consisted of disciples from twelve sects."
"Unlike the three religions in my Jishengtian, the sects in Yuanlingtian are roughly divided into two camps: the righteous and the evil."
"Among the first twelve sects that invaded my Jishengtian, only four of them were righteous sects: Xuanji Sect, Mokui Sect, Tianfu Sect, and Amitabha Sword Sect. The other eight were all evil sects that were ruthless and committed all kinds of evil."
Shenzui sneered and said, “It can be seen that everyone in Yuanlingtian has a bitter hatred for me, Jishengtian.”
The Second Sword Master Chong took the booklet and examined it carefully.
He frowned and said slowly: "There is the Blood River Cult here. They are good at setting up the Blood River Formation, devouring blood essence, and polluting the soul. Their Blood River Divine Banner is very powerful and is made of human bones, human skin, and human hair."
"In Yuanling Heaven, the Blood River Cult is also an evil demon that everyone hates...but they entered my Jisheng Heaven."
The Second Sword Master Chong said calmly: "They must have done what happened on Wulong Island. Hey, 30 million good people, hehe."
Shenzui applied force with his fingers, and the beads slid and hit each other, making a 'ding ding ' sound that penetrated his soul: "So, with their confessions and the information you two personally collected, it is clear that what I said was not false. They did invade in large numbers."
Shenzui said in a deep voice: "Right now, they are just cautiously testing each other, or even reaching a tacit understanding to occupy their own territory ."
"Once they are ready, all means are ready... hey, hey, hey."
The Corpse Demon Venerable snatched the booklet from the hands of the Second Insect Sword Master and began to read it carefully.
After watching for a while, the girl standing next to him said coldly, "What the old thief said a few days ago was right. This time, we really have to join forces... While the first batch of them who entered are only at the strongest level of the Fiery Realm, we must quickly dig them out and get rid of them."
"Otherwise, when these little brats build a base on our territory...if their masters from the sect invade later."
The Corpse Demon Venerable sneered, and the girl beside him said in a fierce voice: "Let alone how powerful they are, as long as they send a group of masters who have condensed Dao Fruit, it will be enough for us to eat a pot."
The eyes of the Corpse Demon Venerable flickered with faint phosphorescent fire. He looked at Shen Zui, then at the Second Sword Master Chong. The two girls beside him asked at the same time: "What is the cultivation level of the strongest master in your sect right now?"
He laughed intoxicatedly.
The Second Sword Master Chong looked at the Corpse Demon Venerable and smiled, "You are the strongest master in the Corpse Demon Cave now. What is your cultivation level?"
The Corpse Demon Venerable also laughed and said nothing more.
Lu Yi was speechless watching from the side.
Since everyone knows that the enemy has arrived, why are you, the masters, sect leaders, abbots, and elders, still playing tricks here?
However, the thirteen inheriting elders of the Great Vajra Temple should all be great masters who have achieved the Condensation Fruit.
With this kind of strength, it's more than enough to protect yourself, right?
Outside Wuzhou City, large patches of white clouds were smashed to pieces, and a row of three metal cities and sixty-four metal boats slowly fell from the sky.
A large group of Demon Puppet Sect disciples stood on the city walls and boats, gazing at Wuzhou City from afar.
A little further away from these metal cities and boats, another large group of birds slowly landed. Nearly a thousand disciples of the Tianfu Sect, wearing green robes and surrounded by a faint fluorescent light, calmly piloted the birds and headed straight for Wuzhou City.
Behind these birds, a large cloud of fog was rolling, and flags were swaying in the breeze. It was unknown how many disciples of the Xuanji Sect were hiding in it, driving this mobile formation straight towards Wuzhou City.
