When she first arrived in the human world, Nangong Bat did not understand the division of forces in the human world. In recent days, she has gained a preliminary understanding. She did not expect that in the death swamp in the southwest of the human world, there was actually an important sect of the Demon Sect, the Five Poison Sect.
This made her feel
some worries.
In terms of sect disciples alone, the Five Poison Sect has a small number of people, only six to seven thousand people, but the Five Poison Sect definitely refers to more than just one sect.
Just like the Cangyun Sect, when assessing the strength of the Cangyun Sect, the disciples of the Cangyun Sect are definitely not counted. Those affiliated sects and outer sects are also considered the backing of the Cangyun Sect.
The Demon Cult has been entrenched in the Western Region for many years, and its influence is widely distributed, almost extending its tentacles to most of the territories except Middle-earth.
In the east of Death Lake, connected to the Qiming Mountain of Shiwan Mountain, there is the Ghost Sect of the Demon Sect, the Ghost Xuan Sect.
The western part of Dead Lake, the Devil's Lake area connecting to the West Sea, is an important gathering place for the devil's cultivators.
In the northern part of Dead Lake, connected to the Western Region Basin, there are dozens of small and medium-sized factions of the Demon Sect, the most powerful of which is the Five Poison Sect.
The current leader of the Five Poison Sect, Wan Duzi, is a tycoon of a generation, not only ambitious but also capable.
More than three hundred years ago, when Wan Duzi took over the Wudu Sect, the Wudu Sect was not very prominent among the demon sect.
Wan Duzi implemented five major policies, and in just three hundred years, he developed the Wudu Sect into a powerful sect dominating the southwest of the human world, replacing Gui Xuan Sect and becoming one of the six major factions of the Demon Sect.
The first policy is to recruit disciples.
Successors are the most important thing for a sect, family, and country. If there are no successors, the sect will soon decline.
Wan Duzi knows this very well.
Among the new disciples he recruited, Wan Duzi almost completely abandoned the barbarians from the Western Regions, and more than 90% of his disciples were Han or of Han descent.
History has proven that the physique of the Han people has greater potential than that of the Hu people in the path of cultivation.
Nowadays, the younger generation of elite disciples of the Five Poison Sect are emerging in large numbers, and there are several young disciples under the age of sixty who are famous in the world.
Such as Qing Yan, Qing Hui, Lu Yuansen, Chen Jianjia.
Wan Duzi's second policy is change.
In the past, the reason why the Five Poison Sect could not develop was because it did not have any characteristics.
Wan Duzi took a new approach on the shoulders of his previous ancestors and created the method of using poison to enter the Tao, with cultivation as a supplement and poison as the main use.
Over the years, the Five Poison Sect has taken great pains in the use of poison. While increasing efforts to control the dead swamp and searching for poisonous insects and poisons in the dead swamp, it also sent disciples to secretly sneak into Shiwan Mountain in southern Xinjiang to secretly learn the witchcraft and Gu techniques of Miao Xinjiang.
.
The combination of poison and poison greatly increased the combat power of the Five Poison Sects. In terms of poison control, poison use, and poison resistance, the Miao people in southern Xinjiang did not dare to confront the disciples of the Five Poison Sects head-on.
Wanduzi's third policy is cannibalization.
Since most of the Demonic Cult's forces are distributed in the Peacock River Basin with a large population in the Western Region, as well as in the wasteland in the north, they have little control over the area near Death Lake and consider it to be a truly barren land.
Wan Duzi then worked hard and spent two hundred years eating up dozens of small and medium-sized factions near Wudu Sect little by little, strengthening the power of Wudu Sect.
The fourth policy of Wanduzi is to recruit talents.
The Five Poison Sect belonged to the Demon Sect, and Wan Duzi relied on this advantage to secretly win over some very powerful masters within the Demon Sect.
He knew that there were many scattered demons from the Holy Religion living in the western part of Dead Lake and many islands in the West Sea. All of these scattered demons were big demons with powerful means, and they rarely interfered with the affairs of the Holy Religion.
So Wan Duzi racked his brains, promised countless benefits, and went around to win over those Sanmo seniors to become the elders of his sect.
Not to mention, in the past two or three hundred years, many scattered demons have been attracted to join the Five Poison Sect.
For example, Mr. Feng, the great elder of the Five Poison Sect, and Madam Red Scorpion, the great witch, are all elders invited by Wan Duzi to join in the worship service.
Wan Duzi's last big move to revitalize the Five Poison Sect is more disgusting, it is differentiation.
In recent hundreds of years, the structure of the Demonic Cult has not changed much, and it is roughly composed of the Five Elements, Six Systems and Eighteen Branches.
The Five Elements refers to the five-element flag guarding the temple.
The six factions refer to the six major factions: Tianmo Sect, Shura Sect, Hehuan Sect, Blood Soul Sect, Yin Ling Sect, and Ghost Xuan Sect.
The Eighteen Branches refer to the middle-level sects of the Demon Cult whose disciples of Yukong have exceeded a thousand.
These medium-sized sects, plus two to three hundred small sects, form the current power map of the Demonic Cult.
Wan Duzi has great ambitions. The Five Poison Sect was only one of the eighteen branches in the past and relied on the power of the Tianmo Sect to survive. After the Five Poison Sect took control of the south, it was naturally unwilling to be someone else's younger brother and wanted to become
The seventh largest faction of the Demonic Cult.
It's a pity that neither the Demon Sect nor the Ghost Sect agree.
So Wan Duzi began to have evil thoughts, and he sent many disciples to sneak into Guixuan Sect, among which Qing Yan became the true disciple of the leader of Guixuan Sect.
Qing Yan, the spy, immediately withdrew after spying on the secrets of Gui Xuanzong, so the Five Poison Sect spread the word that the precious blood soul essence left by the ghost king Ye Tianxing contained the fourth volume of the Book of Heaven, the Netherworld Ghost Dao Chapter, which can be obtained
Immortality.
This is what happened thirty years ago when the Demon Sect of the Demon Sect attacked Black Rock Mountain at night and almost wiped out the entire Demon Xuan Sect in one night.
The Five Elements Banner, the most powerful demon sect, was stationed in the temple twenty miles west of Blackstone Mountain, but that night, the Five Elements Banner did not dispatch a single disciple.
The main reason is that before the attack, Wan Duzi had already bribed the two envoys on the left and the five flag envoys.
After the war, Huangfu got the Guixuanzong's most precious treasure, the Big Dipper. Changkong got another Guixuanzong's most precious treasure, the Soul-Calling Bell.
After the Ghost Xuan Sect was massacred, there were less than a hundred remaining disciples. They withdrew from the core circle of the Demon Sect and fled to Qiming Mountain, where the Ghost King's founder made his fortune, to survive in name only. Over the years, although several factions of the Ghost Sect have disagreed with the Five Poison Sect becoming a Demon Sect
The sixth largest faction, but their strength is there, you don’t admit it, the fact is already the case, now the Five Poison Sect has completely replaced the ghost Xuanzong’s former position
.
There are six to seven thousand core disciples of the Five Poison Sect, and together with the small and medium-sized factions under their control, the number will not be less than thirty thousand.
Nangong Bat has 140,000 loose cultivators and goddesses under his command, so naturally they will not take the 30,000 Demon Cult disciples seriously.
However, if the Five Poison Sect is touched, it is tantamount to going against the entire demon sect.
The inside of the Demon Sect is very strange. They slaughter the sects and forces in their own sect without blinking an eye. For thousands of years, countless forces in the Demon Sect have been destroyed by their own people.
Just because they can do it themselves doesn't mean that outsiders can do the same.
Even if there is a big melee within the demon sect, if Nangong Bat gets involved, the big melee within the demon sect will stop immediately, and they will fight Nangong Bat together. After killing Nangong Bat and maiming him, they will continue their big melee.
This is what Confucianism says: To pacify the domestic situation, we must first fight against the outside world. Those who say that to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the internal affairs, and only know how to engage in civil war, none of them are successful.
