The area controlled by the Three Saint Sect is densely covered with rivers and is a world-famous land of plenty and is generally called the Jiangnan region. The people here live a prosperous life and there are many businessmen. There is a saying in Kunlun Continent that there are ten buckets of wealth in the world, and Jiangnan has only three buckets.
.
The reason why the Jiangnan area can develop so well is inseparable from the governance of the Three Saints Sect. The Three Saints govern by doing nothing. They are only responsible for public security, protecting local people and avoiding war.
The Three Saints Sect is said to have originated from three ancient great sages, so it has a profound foundation. Even the Tiandao Sect is very polite to it. When the Immortal Kingdom was expanding, the Three Saints Sect also listened to the instructions but did not listen to the propaganda. When it came to the Great Shang, it was even more dissatisfied.
No matter how you deal with it, Dashang has nothing to do with it.
Wu Bei came to the Great Holy Mountain. As soon as he entered the mountain, he felt that the mountain was very extraordinary, and there was a faint aura of the saint coming from it.
Entering the mountain, he found the Three Holy Gates in a valley.
In front of the valley, there is a very simple archway. In front of the archway, two boys stood there, talking in a low voice.
Seeing Wu Bei, a boy in red asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Wu Bei smiled and said, "I'm here to see your sect master."
The boy in red said: "We have three sect masters, which one do you want to see?"
Wu Bei: "Let's meet together."
The little boy curled his lips and said: "Our three sect masters are all emperors of the world. How can you see them whenever you want?"
Wu Bei said with a smile: "It turns out he is the Human Emperor, that is quite powerful. Tell them that the saint is here to see you."
The child sneered: "Are you a saint? If you are a saint, I will be..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned because Wu Bei released an astonishing aura around him, which was the power of a saint!
"I've seen a saint!" The two children exclaimed and quickly knelt on the ground.
At this moment, a beam of light flew from the three mountain peaks in the distance and landed not far away, revealing three people.
These three people all look like men in their thirties. One is fair-faced, beardless, and slightly fat; one is tall and thin, with a green beard; the other has a dignified appearance and a tall and mighty figure.
The three of them looked at Wu Bei in surprise. After confirming that their feelings were correct, they all stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen a saint!"
Wu Bei nodded slightly: "The three human emperors are exempt from courtesy."
The white-haired man with no beard looked embarrassed: "I don't dare to be the Human Emperor. To be honest with the saint, we are still some distance away from the Human Emperor."
Of course Wu Bei could see it, but the three of them were the leaders of the Three Holy Sects, so he had to save some face.
"It's a matter of time," he said, "I'm taking the liberty of visiting. I hope I won't disturb a few of you."
"I don't dare. It's our honor for the saint to come!" The bearded man said quickly.
Wu Bei: "Some time ago, I established the Tianwu Empire and just annexed the Shenwu Empire. The area south of the Yangtze River is between the Dragon Kingdom and the Tianwu Empire. If the Tianwu Empire rises strongly, the Dragon Kingdom will definitely take action."
The three of them looked at each other, and the mighty man said: "What the saint means is that the Tianwu Empire wants to annex our three holy sects?"
Wu Bei shook his head: "Of course it's not annexation. The Three Saint Sect is still the Three Saint Sect, and Jiangnan has only joined the Tianwu Empire in name only. In this way, if the Dragon Kingdom invades, the Tianwu Empire can send troops to protect it."
The three of them did not doubt Wu Bei's words at all, because the saint would not lie to them, and there was no need to lie to them.
The man with a beard pondered for a few seconds and said: "Sage, the Three Saints Sect is relatively unorganized and may not be adaptable to living under the roof of someone else's house. However, if the Saint can do a favor to the Three Saints Sect, we will willingly submit to the Tianwu Empire."
Wu Bei was surprised when he heard the other party use the word "submit". What could make them merge into the Tianwu Empire?
He was very curious and asked: "What do you three want me to do?"
The man with a majestic face said: "Sage, please come to the Three Holy Temples and sit down. We will explain it to you slowly."
Wu Bei followed the three people to an ancient hall. The three people presented them with flowers and fruits, and then introduced themselves. The three of them were all the sect masters of the Three Saints Sect. The fat white monk was named Zhang Yuan, and his nickname was Lu Fu.
, the man with a majestic face is named Yan Xiben.
After chatting for a while, Lu Fu said: "Sage, our Three Holy Sects are descended from three great saints. But since the three great saints, there have been no saints. Until five hundred years ago, there was a man named Hou Guan.
The young man rose up and soon broke through to the semi-saint realm. But after that, Hou Guan made no progress and fell into a semi-mad state. We can only lock him underground. You are a saint. I wonder if you can help.
Hou Guan broke through to the saint realm?"
Wu Bei frowned slightly. He had just broken through to become a saint, and he knew how difficult it was to become a saint. He had experienced various legends, and had to go through hardships to achieve what he is today.
"I'm afraid I can't help him enter the Saint Realm. The Saint Realm is much more difficult than Daluo. However, I can help him restore his previous cultivation and get rid of his semi-crazy state."
Hearing that Wu Bei could not make Hou Guan a saint, the three sect leaders were all a little disappointed, but it would be good if they could recover as before.
Yan Xi said: "Sage, please come with us."
Wu Bei passed through a small door and came to an underground palace. There was a huge cage in which a disheveled man was locked.
Yan Xiben: "Saint, he is Hou Guan, who was once a semi-saint."
Wu Bei looked at Hou Guan in the cage. He was surprised to find that Hou Guan had been completely demonized, not only his soul but also his body. If the restriction here had not been suppressed by the talisman refined by the Great Sage, Hou Guan would have been there long ago.
Just escaped.
Lu Fu: "Sage, can Hou Guan recover?"
Wu Bei sighed softly and said: "How can he be a semi-saint? He is simply a devil, completely demonized."
Lu Fu and the other three were shocked. Is he a devil?
Zhang Yuandao: "Sage, how could Hou Guan become a demon? Back then, his qualifications were extremely good!"
Wu Bei said lightly: "Being a demon or a saint is just a matter of a thought. Some people cannot become saints, so they simply become demons."
"Hey hey hey..."
Suddenly, the man in the cage laughed strangely: "After five hundred years, has a saint finally emerged? Very good, if I eat you, I can become a real demon!"
As he laughed loudly, the cage suddenly encountered high temperatures and began to melt. Within a few seconds, the cage disappeared and the devil walked towards Wu Bei.
Yan Xiben and others were shocked and shouted: "Hou Guan, what are you doing? Wake up quickly!"
Wu Bei narrowed his eyes: "You can obviously escape, why did you wait until today?"
The devil smiled sinisterly: "Why should I go out? Here, these fools not only provide me with resources. More importantly, there is enough demonic energy here to support my practice."
"Devil energy!" Yan Xiben's expression changed, "Did you open the Demon Cave?"
Wu Bei asked: "What is the Devil's Cave?"
Yan Xiben stamped his feet and said: "The Demonic Cave is the reason why the three great sages established the Three Holy Sects here. There is infinite demonic energy sealed in the Demonic Cave. In order to prevent anyone from opening the Demonic Cave, the three sages established it here.
The Three Holy Sects have ordered us to guard the Demonic Patio from generation to generation and not allow anyone to approach!"
