Within the Six Demonic Sects, an internal fight is going on.
The low-level disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Blood Killing Sect were fighting each other around a spirit stone mine. Disciples of the two sects were dying every moment, and the battle was extremely cruel.
However, just as the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, the monks in charge of the Ghost Spirit Sect suddenly received a transmission note, ordering them to get out of the Lingshi Mine and evacuate towards the mountain gate.
"What! We have to retreat again! It was the same before. We obviously had the upper hand, but the superiors suddenly ordered us to retreat. What on earth were those elders thinking?!"
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw! If we withdraw any further, our foundation will be lost!"
"The Yan family has no courage and is not worthy of holding power at all. I really miss the time when Elder Wang and the others were alive!"
Hearing the order to retreat again, the commander's fellow disciples couldn't help but express their resentment.
"Why bother with all that nonsense! The elders have their own plans and just carry out the orders!"
Although the commanding monk was extremely dissatisfied, he also knew the consequences of disobeying orders, so he immediately ordered everyone forcefully.
At this moment, Yan Ruyan, who had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in the Ghost Spirit Sect main hall, was sitting on the head seat with a sad face. The hall was filled with pill-forming monks that the Yan family had trained over the years relying on the resources of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
, as many as seven or eight people.
Because Falling Demon Valley and his party caused heavy losses to the Wang family that was originally in charge of the Ghost Spirit Sect, they not only lost all the Nascent Soul monks, but also had very few Liandan monks left.
This allowed the newly developed Yan family to take the opportunity to seize the power of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Yan Ruyan, who has Tianlinggen, is not the highest among the Ghost Spirit Sect in terms of cultivation, but there is no monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul weighing her down. The other elders also hope that she can rely on her talent to revive the Ghost Spirit Sect and give her great power.
Completely handed over to her.
At the beginning, Yan Ruyan was also very ambitious and ready to show off her skills, but soon the internal strife within the Demonic Path came to bear on the Ghost Spirit Sect.
After all, the Ghost Spirit Sect has lost so many Yuan Ying monks in one breath, and it is really a bit wishful thinking to occupy the original territory and a territory of the Yue Kingdom.
Fortunately, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Ghost Spirit Sect has been ranked among the six sects of the Demonic Path for many years and has accumulated a lot of wealth.
Although the number of Nascent Soul monks was greatly reduced, the monks within the sect who built foundations and formed pills were not comparable to those who challenged them. After giving up some peripheral territory, they still managed to maintain their position.
Normally, the Ghost Spirit Sect only needs to lie dormant for two to three hundred years, relying on its foundation to slowly regain its strength. When the new generation of Nascent Soul monks grow up, they can naturally get out of the predicament.
However, the situation has changed from almost a century ago, that is, shortly after the Spirit Island to which Yellow Maple Valley belongs was captured.
The Blood Killing Sect suddenly rose up, relying on its achievements in seizing the Spirit Island, gaining the support of the Hehuan Sect, and aggressively encroaching on the Ghost Spirit Sect's territory.
Originally, for this emerging demon sect, even if the Ghost Spirit Sect suffered a small loss from the Yuanying monks in the sect, it could still gain an overall advantage by relying on the huge number of middle-level sect members.
But the Hehuan Sect favored this sect overtly and covertly, leaving the Ghost Spirit Sect to cut off its flesh again and again to protect itself.
After all, although it hurts to cut the flesh, you won't lose your life. However, if you disobey the Hehuan Sect and provoke the old devil Hehuan, you may be in danger of annihilation.
After these few times, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Blood Killing Sect is the knife used by the Hehuan Sect to contain Huang Maple Valley.
Every time the Blood Killing Sect successfully weakens Huang Maple Valley, this sect will attack the Ghost Spirit Sect.
The Hehuan Sect had achieved its goal without having to pay a huge price, so it was naturally happy to see this, and this was how the situation evolved to what it is today.
"Master, we keep giving in again and again. When will this end?!"
"Without those spirit stone mines, our disciples' monthly supply of spirit stones cannot be guaranteed. Although we can rely on inventory to support it for a while, this is by no means a long-term solution."
"Sect Master, what are you waiting for? We still have the power to compete with the Blood Killing Sect.
But if you wait until the spiritual stone cannot be released from the door, you will really be unable to save yourself!"
Faced with the fact that the Ghost Spirit Sect was rapidly weakening, even the Danjie monks from the Yan family were puzzled by Yan Ruyan's decision.
The survival rule of the Demonic Sect is not to show weakness, otherwise you will be surrounded by a pack of wolves, but Yan Ruyan did the opposite, constantly showing weakness and shrinking, which made her very unpopular.
Although Yan Ruyan had a plan in mind, the situation was indeed too bad. Now that her juniors were questioning her every word, she felt even more irritated and couldn't help but yelled:
"Shut up, everyone!
Yan Rong, is there any news over the border?
It’s been almost two hundred years, and it’s time for that man to come back!”
"Sect Master, the war at the border is still going on, and there is no special news coming."
A man in purple cupped his hands and replied.
"Continue to investigate and don't let go of any abnormalities! You guys should step back first. I will find a way to deal with the spirit stones. Before that, I will use the inventory to support them. The more it is like this, the more difficult it is to lower the power of the disciples in the sect.
Spiritual stone quota.”
Yan Ruyan waved her hand tiredly and retreated from the crowd.
After hearing this, all the Yan family alchemy monks stood up and bowed to leave. Soon, only Yan Ruyan was left in the hall, looking quite cold.
After sitting for a moment, she suddenly opened many restrictions in the palace. With a thought, she took out a black wooden box and said quietly:
"Fellow Taoist Yan, are you sure that man will come to you? It's been almost two hundred years, and you still believe in him so much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a line of green smoke drifted out from the black wooden box and transformed into a human form not far from Yan Ruyan.
It turns out that the black wooden box contains a female ghost, and her appearance is exactly that of Yuan Yao’s good senior sister—Yanli!
"I don't believe in him, but I believe in my junior sister!
When Junior Sister Yuan sees that I haven't come back for so long, she will definitely let him come to look for me. It's just a matter of time."
Yanli was very determined and authentic, but her aura was a bit shaky, as if she had not recovered from a serious injury.
"Fellow Taoist Yan, is there really such a mysterious spiritual land as the Yinming Land in this world?
You must not make it up to deceive me because you wanted to survive, otherwise I will hand you over to that old devil of Hehuan immediately!"
The reason why Yan Ruyan was willing to wait for Luo Hong was because she believed that he would definitely not let go of the Blood Killing Sect when he came back, and the second reason was because of the land of darkness.
The Ghost Spirit Sect is a sect whose members are good at exorcising ghosts and refining ghosts just by hearing the name. If they can obtain an excellent ghost-raising place like the Land of Yin and Ming, they will one day surpass the Hehuan Sect and become the leader of Tiannan Demon Dao.
The first major sect is not impossible.
It is precisely because of this piece of cake that Yan Ruyan has been holding back, waiting for Luo Hong to come back, and then actively cooperate with him to fight back against the Blood Killing Sect, and use this as a certificate of submission to obtain the qualification to enter the Land of the Netherworld.
.
But she was under too much pressure now, so she couldn't help but have some doubts about her original decision.
"If you hadn't saved my life in the first place, I would never have told you about this.
I really can’t provide any more evidence on this matter. You can only decide for yourself whether you believe it or not.”
During the two hundred years of traveling alone in Tiannan, Yanli, out of curiosity, relied on her hidden supernatural powers as a ghost to sneak into the Hehuan Sect for nearly a hundred years and secretly learned a lot of yin and yang secrets.
In the end, in order to steal the Albizia Albizia Book, he was accidentally discovered by the Albizia Albizia Old Demon, and was beaten to the point of death by him in just a few rounds.
Fortunately, with her mysterious escape skills, she escaped from the Hehuan Sect and then met Yan Ruyan. After telling the news about the Land of Netherworld, she was successfully rescued by him.
"If you don't believe it, how could our sect end up in this state today? Fellow Taoist Yan still invites Haihan, which is because Ru Yan is upset."
Yan Ruyan shook her head and sighed.
At this moment, a ray of fire flew through the many restrictions and flew into the hall.
Yan Ruyan couldn't help but be startled when she saw this. You must know that she has opened the ban on the hall. Except for urgent reports from the front line, all transmission notes will be blocked.
Could it be...
With her spiritual thoughts drawn, Yan Ruyan stretched out her jade hand to catch the fire, and her spiritual consciousness immediately penetrated it.
The next moment, her expression was startled and then suspicious, and soon became serious.
"What's wrong with Fellow Daoist Yan? Could it be the news from Brother Luo?"
Yanli couldn't help but asked curiously when she saw this.
"No. The front line came to report that the troops suddenly withdrew!"
Yan Ruyan replied with a frown.
The reason why she asked people to pay close attention to the news on the front line was because this war was most closely involved with the Mulan people and the Nine-Nation Alliance.
And Luo Hong is also a member of the Nine Nations Alliance. If she comes back and encounters someone, she will definitely be involved. No matter what happens, she will get the news as soon as possible after investigating.
Even if the news of the death of the Tuwu Great Immortal Master came at this time, Yan Ruyan would not be too surprised, but now the Tuwu army has directly retreated, and she does not think that the return of just one person can have such an impact.
"Something big must have happened, otherwise the sudden person wouldn't have done this. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for our sect, hey!"
Yan Ruyan sighed worriedly.
Today's Ghost Spirit Sect can no longer withstand too much wind and rain!
...
Some families are happy and some are sad. Just when everyone in the Ghost Spirit Sect is gloomy and gloomy, the demon cultivators of the Blood Killing Sect are joyful, as if a celebration is being held in the sect.
"Reporting to the great elder, this time our sect has occupied seven spiritual stone mines, large and small, in the Ghost Spirit Sect. From now on, our sect can obtain an additional five to six hundred thousand spiritual stones every year!"
At the top of the Blood River Peak, a Blood Killing Sect protector in the late stage of pill formation was kneeling at the foot of the steps, reporting the outcome of the battle to the three Blood Killing Sect Yuanying elders who were drinking and meeting guests.
"Haha, brother, with these spiritual stones, our sect will be able to recruit tens of thousands more disciples next year. This sect will really become more and more prosperous!"
In front of the desk, a shirtless, muscular man slapped his chest and laughed loudly.
"This is all due to Fellow Taoist Hehuan supporting our sect. Mr. Lang would like to give Fellow Taoist a glass of wine!"
Opposite the naked man, a middle-aged demon cultivator with sunken eye sockets and blood lines on his forehead casually waved away the alchemy protector that came towards him, then raised his glass and toasted to a man in black robes at the head of the table.
"Jie Jie, you don't have to be polite, Fellow Daoist Lang. As long as you continue to suppress Huang Maple Valley, there will be many benefits in the future.
You must know that the six sects of the Demonic Path are not static. If the Blood Killing Sect wants to be among them, it depends on your own abilities."
This black-robed man was clearly the Old Demon of Acacia, the number one demon cultivator in the south of the world. He raised his glass in response and said in a voice that alternated between yin and yang.
"Although Junior Brother Wang's cultivation level is only similar to that of Third Brother, he advanced to Nascent Soul more than two hundred years earlier than us, and his magical powers are not weak.
We will definitely be able to deal with a few pill-forming monks from Huang Maple Valley, even if they have the talent to form babies."
Lang Yi, who is in the middle stage of Yuanying, is now the great elder of the Blood Killing Sect, and the other two monks here who are in the early stage of Yuanying are his brothers from the same mother.
The sudden rise of the Blood Killing Sect was all because the three brothers possessed Rakshasa Dharma bodies. Not only were they practicing the Blood Killing Sect's techniques extremely fast, but the power of their magical powers was much greater than normal.
Therefore, after Lang Yi broke through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the original great elder who killed his ancestors voluntarily abdicated his throne and gave way to others, allowing Lang Yi to take over the power.
It can be said that the confrontation between the Blood Killing Sect and Huang Maple Valley was all due to Lang Yi's decision to satisfy his own ambitions.
"Fellow Daoist Hehuan, I have always been puzzled by this. If your sect wanted to deal with Huang Maple Valley, why didn't you just attack the two Nascent Soul elders directly? Instead, you took a detour and took the lives of those Dan formation disciples who had the talent to form infants."
?
Isn’t this asking for trouble?”
After three rounds of drinking, the second eldest brother of the Lang family asked politely.
"Jie Jie, haven't you heard of the reputation of Supreme Lord Hong?
I don’t dare to confront the supernatural power of a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage who can be killed with one blow.”
The old devil of Hehuan laughed sinisterly and said unhurriedly.
"Hmph! No one knows that this Fellow Daoist Luo has a record of success all over the world. However, no matter how powerful the Zixiao Divine Thunder is, it can only have the power of one strike. In terms of normal fighting, the three of us brothers are not afraid of him at all!"
The naked man drank a glass of wine and was full of fighting spirit.
"Not to mention, this person has been missing for nearly two hundred years, and it is not certain whether he is alive or not!"
The second brother of the Lang family, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and looked like a gentleman, smiled softly.
"This sect doesn't want to gamble. Anyway, even if Fellow Daoist Luo can come back, or even break through and become a late-stage great monk, he will only have a thousand years of life. As long as Yellow Maple Valley continues to be in decline, it will not be a big threat to our sect."
Hehuan Laomo kept smiling, but in his heart he was already scolding these three people as idiots.
Even he himself never thought about solving Luo Hong, but chose to attack Huang Maple Valley. After all, a great monk can be powerful for hundreds of years at most, but a sect that has developed can exist for tens of thousands of years.
With just one Dharma body, you actually dared to challenge that person, or you were really blinded by ambition!
But that's fine. If Luo Hong really comes back in the future, he can use them to test it out.
"The considerations of the top elder of the sect are indeed different from mine. Mr. Lang really learned a lesson today, and he even invited fellow Taoists to drink!"
Lang Yi noticed the flash of contempt in the eyes of the old devil Hehuan, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he just changed the topic.
He really has no fear of Luo Hong. Although the Zixiao Divine Thunder is powerful, it is not impossible to deal with it with some planning.
And if the three brothers join forces, they can even fight against a monk in the late Nascent Soul for dozens of rounds. Isn't it easy to deal with a monk in the middle Nascent Soul?
