Fakong smiled and nodded: "There is some friendship."
He immediately shook his head: "But these friendships are only personal. We can still distinguish between public and enemy."
"If the master had not nodded, the three major sects would not have agreed to the Demon Sect's restoration," Zhuo Ping said.
Fa Kong nodded.
Zhuoping stared into Fakong's eyes: "Master made this decision without any personal feelings at all?"
Fakong sighed and said: "If we really want to pay attention to personal friendship, I will not support her in reestablishing the Demon Sect."
Zhuoping frowned and looked at him in confusion.
Fakong said: "The re-establishment of the Demon Sect will cause endless troubles. Everyone wants this. Elder Zhuo must have understood it at the beginning, and agreeing to their re-establishment was only an expedient measure, and it will also help to better attack the Demon Sect."
Zhuoping said in confusion: "Master, do you really think so?"
Fakong said: "If the Demon Sect is not reestablished, Young Master Li can be said to be at ease. She is not only an important minister of the imperial court, but also the Young Master of Can Tian Dao. She can live a good life with both positions, and she does not need to be so tired."
"...It's true." Zhuo Ping said: "If she didn't reestablish the Demon Sect, her life would be really good."
Li Ying is a rare prodigy in the world. Her unique swordsmanship and identity as the young master of Cantian Dao allow her to maintain a transcendent status in the entire martial arts world, and no one dares to offend her.
And her official career was equally smooth and smooth, and she became a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue and an important minister in the imperial court.
No matter which position she held, she lived a life of ease and ease, and no one could mess with her. Now that she has become the Demon Lord, she has become a public enemy of the three major sects.
Fakong said: "She is the same as me. Public is public and private is private. Is Elder Zhuo here just to inquire about this?"
"Without your approval, Master, we would not have agreed." Zhuo Ping said solemnly.
Fakong laughed and shook his head.
Zhuoping stared at him closely with a gloomy expression: "Master, don't you believe it?"
Fakong said: "If this is said by the Guangming Holy Sect, I will not believe it, but if it is said by the Tianhai Sword Sect, I will not believe it!... Elder Zhuo, when you agreed in the first place, you actually had no good intentions.
Let the Demon Sect become the target of public criticism."
Zhuoping frowned.
He did not expect that Fa Kong could see through the plan of their Tianhai Sword Sect at a glance. This was considered a far-sighted plan, but it was directly revealed by Fa Kong.
Could it be that he was sure that the Tianhai Sword Sect would agree, so he asked the old monk Huinan to persuade him?
A group of people have reached the first step, but Fakong has already reached the second or even third step?
This may not be impossible.
It is said that he has clairvoyance and can see into the future. At first, many people did not believe it, especially the Tianhai Sword Sect.
But now it has been proven that he does have the ability to see into the future and has far-reaching plans. I really don’t know what he is going to do.
What's more important is that now the emperor has given him another mountain.
Although it was just a mountain peak, far inferior to the entire mountain range of the three major sects, it had already revealed a sign that the emperor valued him.
Everyone knows the emperor's fear of him, otherwise he would not have set up Lingkong Temple not far from the palace, because he wanted to keep it under his nose and monitor him.
But as time passed, the emperor's fear not only failed to turn into a murderous intention, and he was painfully killed by an assassin, but he became more and more dependent on him and received more generous rewards.
This time I admired a mountain, but what about next time? Will it be another mountain, or even a mountain range?
More importantly, this mountain is not far from Shenjing.
There are disadvantages in being near Shenjing. You will be under closer surveillance by the court. Don't think of doing anything extraordinary. You can't be as free and self-contained as the three major sects.
But there are also huge benefits.
The first is prosperity. Shenjing is the most prosperous place in the world. Being near Shenjing will take too many advantages.
Although Tianhai Sword Sect and Haitian Cliff are good, they are far less prosperous than Shenjing, so the young disciples of Tianhai Sword Sect all want to come to Tianhai Villa.
Young people all like prosperity. If you don't come to Shenjing to travel for a few years, you seem to have let down your great time.
Fakong ignored his thoughts and continued: "It's a pity that your calculations were very loud, but you never thought that the imperial court would intervene."
"...Yes." Zhuoping admitted frankly and said in a deep voice: "Of course, the key to our agreement is to see your face, Master."
Fakong smiled, raised his hand to take a sip of tea, and slowly put it down: "I'm flattered."
Zhuoping's words are half true and half false and cannot be taken seriously.
They have some reputation with the Tianhai Sword Sect, but not so much. The key is that they have their own calculations.
Zhuo Ping said: "Master, don't you think that now that the Demon Sect is about to become a phenomenon, it is not appropriate to indulge anymore?"
Fakong smiled: "The emperor doesn't think so."
Zhuo Ping said: "I know that the master can speak well to the emperor, and the emperor can listen to the master's words."
Fakong waved his hand: "The Emperor is wise and powerful, and Qiankun is arbitrary. I cannot influence the Emperor's decision."
"Master is too modest." Zhuo Ping said: "If master wants to say it, he will definitely be able to persuade the emperor to deal with the palace."
Fakong said seriously: "That's because Elder Zhuo doesn't understand the emperor yet. The emperor is extremely jealous of the poor monk and will never believe my words."
"...Master Zhuo admires his rigorous practice." Zhuo Pinghe said solemnly: "But the matter of the Demon Sect can no longer be delayed."
Fakong smiled: "The one who is most worried about the Demon Sect is not our three major sects, but the imperial court."
"Otherwise." Zhuoping shook his head: "The Demon Sect will bear the brunt of dealing with our three major sects, especially our Tianhai Sword Sect. However, the imperial court has supported the Six Paths over the years, but it does not have such heavy resentment."
When it comes to the former enemies of the Demon Sect, the one with the deepest hatred is indeed the imperial court. After all, it was the imperial court that destroyed the previous dynasty.
But hatred will change and fade. With the support of the imperial court over the years, the hatred of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect towards the imperial court has faded away.
More importantly, the Demon Sect has the tradition of a state religion in its bones. It wanted to become the state religion in the previous dynasty, and it also wants to become the state religion in this dynasty.
Then we have to put aside our hatred for the imperial court and serve the imperial court. This sign has already appeared.
When it comes to loyalty to the imperial court, the Six Paths are far superior to the Three Great Sects.
Fakong picked up the tea cup again and sighed: "Elder Zhuo, you worshiped the wrong Buddha."
"Master, really want to stand by and watch?" Zhuo Ping frowned.
Fakong said: "The poor monk will not interfere with the emperor's decision. This is a rule agreed with the emperor and cannot be broken."
"...Okay." Seeing Kong Kong's situation, Zhuo Ping knew that talking more would be useless. He stood up, put down the tea cup, and said, "Then I'll take my leave, Zhuo."
Fa Kongheshi, I personally sent him out.
As Zhuo Ping walked, he said in a low voice: "Master, do you know which top swordsmen there are in Shenjing?"
Fakong smiled: "If I want to talk about the number one swordsman, I'm afraid it's Young Master Li."
"The Demon Lord's swordsmanship is indeed outstanding, but our disciples encountered four swordsmen who are not inferior to the Demon Sect." Zhuoping shook his head and said: "There are still some strange people in the world."
Being disgraced this time is not a bad thing, at least it makes them know to be reverent and cautious.
Fakong smiled and nodded, sent him to the door, and said goodbye to him.
When he turned around and returned to the abbot's yard, he saw Xu Qingluo and four others already waiting there.
