Maoshan, Yuanfu Temple.

At this time, Liu Hunkang was discussing in detail the next war with the leader of Maoshan. But at this moment, a ray of fire flew from the sky and flew directly into the main hall.

The two of them looked slightly surprised. Before they could react, the fire suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the center of Liu Hunkang's eyebrows.

"Senior brother..."

The leader was startled, thinking that someone was plotting against him. However, the latter was stunned for only a moment and then raised his hand to indicate that he was fine.

After a long time, Liu Hunkang finally came to his senses, his face became solemn, and he murmured:

"This is happening!"

"Senior brother..."

The leader was really curious and called out again. Seeing this, Liu Hunkang couldn't help but smile and said,

"It was Brother Chu who sent some information."

"That fellow Taoist Chu from Bianjing?"

"It's him." Liu Hunkang nodded,

"This time I entered the capital, if fellow Taoist Chu had not come to the rescue, I and several fellow Taoists from other sects would probably have perished."

"This fellow Taoist Chu saved the lives of senior fellow apprentices and fellow Taoists. He is the great benefactor of our Central Plains Taoist Sect. We will never forget this kindness." After a pause, the leader said again,

"Just look at senior brother's expression, but what happened?"

"There are some changes, and the involvement is not small."

"Is it about the siege of Bailing Mountain?"

"That's right." Liu Hunkang nodded, but then said,

"Unfortunately, now it is not just a matter between us and Bailing Mountain, but also involves other forces."

"Other forces?"

The leader frowned and couldn't figure out for a moment, which other force would be involved? Bailing Mountain is located deep in the Miao border. Not only is it isolated from the Central Plains, it is also very isolated in the Miao border. Who else will intervene?

?

"Buddhism." Liu Hunkang reminded him directly before the other party could continue to guess.

"What!" The leader was extremely surprised and asked,

"This is our Taoist sect's private matter. What does it have to do with them? Why are they involved? Is it possible that Bailing Mountain is the enemy of our entire Taoist sect?"

"It's not as simple as you think." Liu Hunkang shook his head slightly.

"Things are a bit complicated, but what is certain is that the real enemy is another force, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism? It is just a chess piece in the opponent's hand."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped speaking and started transmitting the message secretly. After listening to the content, the leader also looked solemn and remained silent for a long time.

"We're about to leave soon, what are you going to do, senior brother?"

"Since the situation has changed, our original plan must be changed. We can't just jump into it knowing it's a trap." After a pause, Liu Hunkang continued.

"I need to go to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to meet with Master Xuanchen. As for the encirclement and suppression plan, could I please make a trip in person? Discuss it with the heads of each faction."

"Senior brother, don't worry. I'll leave this matter to you." The leader nodded, but the topic suddenly changed and he asked again?

"Senior brother is going to find Master Xuanchen? Could it be that he is planning to..."

"The enemy is hiding in the dark and wants to use us as pawns to stir up trouble in the world. It's really a bit arrogant." Liu Hunkang snorted coldly and continued,

"The catastrophe of heaven and earth predicted by the three deities in the past is not far away. Neither Buddhism nor Taoism can stay out of it. At this time, we should never kill each other. In this case, facing a common enemy, we might as well cooperate once.

"

"Senior brother is far-sighted, and junior brother has learned a lesson."

…

"I didn't think so before, but now so many things suddenly popped up, it's really unexpected." In the study room of Chu Mansion, Chu Feng couldn't help but said with some surprise after listening to Xiao Zi's report.

"This is just the land of Sichuan and Sichuan. That Mayfly Temple has been lurking in secret for more than a hundred years. How much power does it hide?" Xiao Zi pouted and said angrily.

"Actually, I can already guess a few things." Chu Feng smiled and analyzed,

"Think about it, there are seven ephemera temples in the entire world, so all the opponent's power must be centered around these seven places and spread outward."

"Huining Prefecture, Yanjing, Taiyuan, Bianjing, Hangzhou, Tanzhou, Sichuan and Shu." Xiao Zi counted them on her fingers and suddenly said in surprise,

"There are so many, Master, what should we do?"

"Don't be anxious, take your time, and remove one area of ​​Sichuan and Shu first. In this way, you have broken one of the opponent's legs. As for the other six areas, if all the power of Sichuan and Shu is destroyed, the enemy will definitely be unable to bear it.

"

"So are we going to get involved now?"

"No." Chu Feng immediately shook his head,

"Our real enemy is always the mysterious Holy Lord. It is better not to be exposed prematurely until the last moment. As for these little pawns in the mortal world, let them be dealt with by the local cultivation forces. This is also an opportunity.

During the great calamity of heaven and earth, there is an opportunity for Buddhism and Taoism to unite."

"Hehe, if it really succeeds, those big insect monks will definitely die of panic."

"This is also the reason why I want to hide behind the scenes." Chu Feng nodded and continued,

"If it really comes to that step, Zhen Wu Yao Monk will definitely lose his patience and report it again. I think the Holy Master will also take action."

"Then...in that case, wouldn't we have to face the Holy Lord in advance?"

Xiao Zi was suddenly a little surprised. You must know that the master has always planned to delay as much time as possible. In this way, until the monks on Sanzun Island gradually recover, their own strength will increase.

"In the past, we knew nothing about the enemy, and we didn't know what the Holy Lord had planned, so we had to be as careful as possible to avoid taking a wrong step and causing irreparable mistakes. However, now we know from Tian Longzi

If you have realized the purpose of the Holy Lord's layout in the mortal world, then you don't have to worry so much." At this point, Chu Feng suddenly looked cold and continued,

"Didn't he want the Black Dragon to rise and then conquer the Song Dynasty to cause the overthrow of the country and chaos in the world? Naturally, we cannot follow his wishes and must do our best to stop him."

"Then let's just go there and kill the heir to the Black Dragon's destiny, right?"

"It's not that simple." Chu Feng shook his head and said,

"Kill the Wanyan family, and others. Liao, Jurchen, Mongolia, Xixia, Dali, Tubo, etc. As long as the alien tribes continue, then he can be replaced at any time and there will be no end."

"Then...then we will kill all the aliens. Wouldn't it be okay?"

Xiao Zi had an innocent tone, but her words were cold and ruthless. No wonder, she is an innate flame spirit, how can she have any concept of good and evil?

"It would be great if it was really that simple. Then the Holy Master would probably like me to do this, just to fulfill his wishes."

"ah?"

This time Xiao Zi was stunned and couldn't understand.

"You, didn't you find some information from Tian Longzi's soul? Why don't you understand?" Chu Feng saw the other party's confused look and couldn't help laughing.

"Think about it, then why did the Holy Lord cause chaos in the world? Could it be that he was kindly helping those nomadic peoples to rise?"

"Of course not, he doesn't care about power in the world."

"So, he certainly has a deeper purpose." Chu Feng nodded and continued,

"He wants to start a war, and it is an endless war. The purpose is to cause chaos in the world, devastation of all living beings, and soaring resentment. At that time, the barriers of the laws of the mortal world will be infected and there will be flaws."

"At that time, he can take the opportunity to break through the world wall and his true body has arrived." Xiao Zi suddenly realized, but then suddenly said,

"One thing I still don't understand is that among the three realms, the mortal world is the weakest. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have the ability to resist the opponent. Why can't he enter now?"

"This is something I have always been unable to understand." After a pause, Chu Feng said again,

"By the way, do you remember the last time you eavesdropped on the conversation between the Holy Master and the True Wu Yao Monk? There was a 'he' mentioned in it, and it seemed that he was an enemy that the other party was extremely wary of."

"Who could be 'him'?"

Xiao Zi's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking like she was racking her brains in thought.

"Maybe it's some hidden power."

Chu Feng couldn't help but shake his head, but he was unsure in his heart.

Since he can protect the mortal world by himself for more than a hundred years, his strength must be no less than that of the Holy Lord. However, over the past hundred years, the Mayfly Temple has secretly developed and cultivated power, but the other party has remained indifferent.

Doesn't it make sense?

Moreover, if there really was such a person, it was impossible for Lu Dongbin not to know about it, and he must have told him long ago.

Thinking of this, Chu Feng suddenly fell silent, and the study became extremely quiet.

…

As time passed, with the actions of Taoist forces, the entire spiritual world began to be turbulent.

Not only that, there are countless forces acting in the invisible darkness. Because it is too secretive, no one knows which force it belongs to.

In short, the Central Plains, Sichuan, Shu, and Miao territories were in great chaos for a while.

The top of the holy mountain.
