The righteous path in the world is mainly based on sects. In fact, casual cultivators are not the mainstream. Only in some natural caves and blessed places are the masters of casual cultivators living in seclusion.
The Demon Sect is different. The number of casual cultivators in the Demon Sect is almost half the number of sect disciples.
If you don't take a walk around Devil's Lake, you will never know how many casual cultivators there are.
It’s definitely not an exaggeration to describe the casual practice in Devil’s Lake as “three miles away, a small retreat, five miles away, a large retreat”.
These casual cultivators seldom show up in public, and almost never participate in the internal struggles of the demon sect.
However, if they encounter a major problem, they will listen to the call of the higher-ups of the Demon Cult and step forward.
When the catastrophe came to the world, Tuoba Yu, as acting leader, issued a summons order to all believers in the entire Holy Religion.
For a time, the entire Western Region was boiling.
In just a few days, more than 300,000 Holy Cult disciples gathered in the Wilderness Temple.
Three hundred thousand, which shocked everyone's jaws at the time.
When Yujizi and Qiankunzi confirmed that the Demon Cult had gathered more than 300,000 disciples, they were stunned.
Before, they calculated based on the intelligence that the Demon Cult only had about 200,000 disciples at most.
And everyone knows very well that the 300,000 demon sect disciples who rushed to the aid of China and were stationed in Tianyu Mountain are definitely not the entire strength of the demon sect.
There are still some disciples from each sect who stay to look after the family, plus the 5,000 disciples of the Five Elements Banner of the Demon Sect, which are not included.
It was calculated at that time that the number of disciples of the Demon Sect above the air-control realm should exceed 350,000.
Later, at the Human League, when the numbers and combat strength of each faction were counted, this estimated data was also confirmed.
In the battle of Qixing Mountain and the pursuit in southern Xinjiang, the Demon Sect lost tens of thousands of people.
But in the past ten years, following Nangong Bat's example, the demon sect has not only recovered its vitality in a short period of time, but also has nearly 400,000 disciples who are above the air-control realm.
This is the quantity Tuobayu has promoted to the outside world. The real quantity is probably much higher than the quantity advertised to the outside world.
At that time, the biggest discrepancy between Zhengdao's data deduction and that of the Demon Sect was the casual cultivators of the Demon Sect.
Loose cultivation has fully verified an eternal truth.
Unity is the most powerful.
Loose cultivators are like ants. Individual threats are not great, and their existence is easily ignored.
However, when tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ants gather together from all directions, they will form the most terrifying army ants in the desert.
Back then, Ye Cha was just collecting individual cultivators from the Demon Cult like straws little by little.
By the time others discovered it, what Ye Cha was holding in his arms was no longer a bundle of straw, but a towering tree that made people look up to him.
Coincidentally, Ye Cha was the first to take action that year, and it was the devil's cultivator from Devil's Lake.
Ye Xiaochuan and Tian Yu Pili rested in front of someone else's house and were discovered by the owner.
The young man in the black tights must have just reached the realm of flying in the air. They were very close, and they did not fly in the sky. Instead, they used their physical skills to sweep away more than ten feet. In the blink of an eye, they were next to Ye Xiaochuan and Tian Yu.
In front of thunderbolt.
It was already dark now, and Tian Yu was squatting in front of the newly raised bonfire, baking naan cakes, not daring to be interested in the visitor.
She knew that Ye Xiaochuan could settle everything.
The young man looked at the two of them, seemingly a little strange, and said, "Are you mortals, or are you fellows of the Holy Cult?"
Ye Xiaochuan started to act pretentious again.
Said: "Ye Zongci, a disciple of Xuan Guzi's sect in Guming Mountain, passed by this place and took a rest here. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
That young man looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, very young and not very experienced.
He had never heard of Xuan Guzi, let alone Ye Zongci, but Gumingshan knew that he belonged to the casual cultivators of the Holy Cult. However, the power of Gumingshan was still far behind compared to the casual cultivators of Devil Lake or Xihai.
.
The young man smiled and said: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Ye from Guming Mountain. My name is Fuchen. I studied under Master Mu Shi of Mu Shi Cave in Dawang Mountain."
“Dawang Mountain?
Wood and stone cave?
Venerable Mu Shi?"
Ye Xiaochuan secretly muttered these three keywords in his heart.
It sounds a little familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that this person was mentioned in the Puyu list.
There are too many casual cultivators in the Demon Sect. The list of hundreds of pages of casual cultivators drawn up by Harley Quinn is considered to be well-known and well-known in the Demon Sect.
Taking Devil's Lake as an example, there are thousands of cave masters, palace masters, and island masters. Among them, less than one-twentieth are included in the list of Harley Quinn's eyes.
Since Master Mu Shi was included in the list by Harley Quinn, it shows that he is indeed a very important figure among the casual cultivators in Devil Lake.
But before that, Ye Xiaochuan had never heard of a figure like Master Mu Shi in the world.
Suddenly, Ye Cha said: "I remembered who this Venerable Mu Shi was. It should be Jin Mu Shi. I didn't expect that he was confused with the title of Venerable!"
On Harley Quinn's list, it is indeed recorded that Venerable Mu Shi's real name is Jin Mu Shi.
However, Ye Xiaochuan thought about it, but still couldn't think of this person's deeds in the world.
At this moment, Ye Cha actually said that he knew this person, which shocked Ye Xiaochuan.
After all, I have been living in the human world, so I can be considered well-informed.
But Ye Cha was kept in a coffin for more than eight hundred years, isolated from the world.
Why don't you know it, but Ye Cha knows it?
This unscientific?
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Grandpa Tian, do you also know this person?
Why haven’t I heard of it?”
Ye Cha said: "You have never heard of Jin Mushi, but you must have heard of his master Situ Zhene."
Ye Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment.
Of course he knew about Situ Zhene, and he was still very familiar with it.
That was the previous generation leader of Tianmo Sect.
Tuoba Yu is Situ Zhene’s disciple.
Speaking of which, Venerable Mu Shi who lives here in seclusion should be Tuoba Yu’s junior brother! Ye Xiaochuan crossed his hands and said: "It turns out that he is the disciple of Venerable Mu Shi. I am disrespectful and disrespectful.
I wonder if His Holiness is in the mountains now?
I’ll pay you a visit in person next time.”
The young man named Fuchen shook his head and said: "Master went to Tianhejiao to play chess with the Demon Lord this morning and has not returned yet."
Ye Xiaochuan's heart moved and he said: "Demon Lord?
Could it be the senior Earth Demon Lord who lives in seclusion at Tianhejiao?"
Fuchen smiled and said, "Yes, Jiashi and Demon Lord are good friends. They often play chess and drink together."
Ye Xiaochuan was quite shocked.
The demon sect has one sage and two ya, three mysteries and four ghosts, five scattered and six demons, seven demons, eight evil spirits and nine earthly immortals.
Guo Zifeng, the earth evil demon king, is one of the six demons.
He is very low-key among the Six Demons.
For example, among the Six Demons, Qianye Demon Lord and Black Mountain Old Demon are relatively active characters.
The reason why Ye Xiaochuan didn't dare to get too close to Tianhejiao in the afternoon was because he was afraid of Guo Zifeng, the Earth Evil Lord who lived in seclusion at Tianhejiao.
No wonder Harley Quinn would include Master Mu Shi, who lives in seclusion on an ordinary hilltop, on her list of key targets.
In this world, birds of a feather have always been flocked together.
A person who can drink tea, chat and play backgammon with Lord Disha all day long.
Moreover, he is Tuoba Yu's junior brother. This kind of person is definitely not an ordinary person.
