"It took us a lot of effort to drive this group of demons here to fight with the army of demons besieging Xiangyun City. Now they are indeed killed inexplicably, ruining our good deeds. We must give them a good look!"
A girl yelled angrily.
"You are stupid, how far did we drive this group of demons? It's not even enough time for a cup of tea! Killing more than a hundred demons led by two blood demons in such a short time, such strength
Where can the four of us be provoked?"
Another young monk said disdainfully.
The girl said unconvinced: "We still have Uncle Zhongchang, don't we? As long as Uncle Zhongchang takes action, we must make these people suffer, so that they know the consequences of provoking our Peacock Clan!
"
"Ahem!"
The middle-aged monk Yang Zhongchang's face turned red, interrupted the girl's words, and said: "It was the same person who killed the two Blood Demons, and it took less time than a cup of tea. This person has been waiting for the rest of the time.
His men take care of those little devils!"
"What?"
"How could it be possible? It was Uncle Zhongchang who took action... Could it be that that person is a great monk?"
The four young men and women had expressions of disbelief.
Yang Zhongchang could only cough twice again, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said: "If I take action, it is impossible to kill two Blood Demons in such a short period of time, and it is often even more difficult for Xiu Demon and Shura to join forces.
And what I want to tell you is that the person who took action is the same as me and is in the middle stage of Dharma phase!"
The four people exclaimed again, and another girl said: "It is impossible for a monk of the same level to be more powerful than Uncle Zhongchang. Who is that person?"
Another young man asked: "How many subordinates does he bring?"
Yang Zhongchang shook his head and said: "That man is very cautious. There is always a light layer of clouds covering his body. It doesn't matter if he is close. If he peeks from a distance, it will become a fog and his face cannot be seen clearly. But this man
The swordsmanship is superb, probably no less than the Six Swords of Ziyang Palace. Although those subordinates are all monks in the elixir forging stage, their combat prowess is extremely good. There are also the last group of demon bee Taoist soldiers, who are weird in everything, but also
It’s always shrouded in clouds and fog, making it difficult for people to figure out what’s true!”
The four young men and women looked at each other, and finally the four of them looked at Yang Zhongchang. One of the girls said: "Uncle Zhongchang, what should we do? Has that person already noticed our plan?
"
Yang Zhongchang pondered for a moment and said: "This time our clan is adding fuel to the flames, targeting Lingyun Valley behind Xiangyun City. This incident is our clan's revenge on Lingyun Valley. We are not afraid of what others will say afterward. Now the Demon Luo army
The siege of Xiangyun City is complete, and the loss of our Moluo team will not have any impact on the siege. Even if that person guesses our intention, it will be too late at this time."
Having said that, Yang Zhongchang seemed to have further confirmed his judgment and said: "Let's meet up with other tribesmen and leave here for now. This time Xiangyun City will definitely destroy the city and the clan. This is the price for Lingyun Valley's dare to plot against the Five Elements Princess of our tribe!
"
Shortly after the four people left, Lu Ping, who had already left, suddenly emerged from a giant tree at the edge of the woods. Also accompanying him were Lu Taohua and Deng Ming.
Lu Ping scratched Lu Taohua's head with approval. Deng Ming, who was standing next to him, said in surprise: "The Peacock clan actually drove the Demonic Army to besiege Xiangyun City. What did they think? Aren't they afraid of offending the public?"
Lu Ping looked at the direction in which the five people were leaving and said: "It's not that the Peacock Clan drove them away, but that the Mo Luo army was heading towards Xiangyun City. The Peacock Clan just added fuel to the flames and drove some scattered Mo Luo troops into the army.
This greatly increases the strength of the Mo Luo army that besieged Xiangyun City!"
Deng Ming didn't know why, and said: "What's the difference? After all, it's helping the Mo Luo army!"
Lu Ping said with a smile: "It depends on how you say it. In fact, we have also seen that the monks of the Peacock clan really chased Mo Luo as if they were running for their lives. People say they are encircling and suppressing Mo Luo. Who can say anything! At most
It’s just good intentions that lead to bad things.”
Deng Ming clicked his tongue twice and asked again: "The Peacock Clan and Lingyun Valley were in an uproar because of the attack on Princess Five Elements. The entire cultivation world was alarmed. But Xiangyun City is a large sect after all, and the Peacock Clan
What does it have to do with Xiangyun City and Lingyun Valley?"
Lu Ping explained with a smile: "This starts with the relationship between Xiangyun City and Lingyun Valley!"
The inheritance of the six holy places of the human race, including the Crystal Palace, has a long history. The establishment of these six holy places was not too long ago when the Seventh Patriarch opened the sky. At that time, the cultivation world was far from being as prosperous as it is now, and the six holy places were not as prosperous as they are now.
To dominate the world like it is now.
At that time, in order to expand their own spheres of influence, the Six Holy Lands would often send their not-so-top direct descendant monks to establish sects and form new forces on the edges of their own spheres of influence, in order to expand their own spheres of influence.
This is the origin of Xiangyun City. The founder of Xiangyun City was a direct monk who was born in Lingyun Valley. He established Xiangyun City here. It has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, making Xiangyun City one of the most powerful places in China.
A large and powerful sect in the south.
However, at this time, Xiangyun City is no longer completely under the command of Lingyun Valley and is already in a semi-independent state. However, it is still one of the most important strongholds for Lingyun Valley to build a defense against the demon clan in the Endless Mountains.
The Peacock Royal Clan was able to kill three birds with one stone by pulling out this stronghold when the Moluo army besieged Xiangyun City. It not only eliminated a nail that hindered the expansion of the demon clan in the Endless Mountains, but also weakened the power of Lingyun Valley. At the same time, it also avenged the Five Elements Princess.
hatred.
"Supporting a large sect? This Lingyun Valley is such a big deal. Aren't they afraid that these sects will eventually get rid of their control?"
Deng Ming was obviously in disbelief.
Lu Ping smiled and said: "I was equally shocked when I first learned about these things. In fact, the initial expansion model adopted by the Six Holy Lands did indeed cause the problems you mentioned."
The Six Holy Lands thought that although the monks they sent out were excellent, they were not the best. However, they did not know that everyone's circumstances were different and their future achievements might not be the same.
Some of these expatriate monks were loyal, some were ambitious; some eventually established sect forces to help the sect leader's Holy Land expand its sphere of influence, while others either fell or returned to the sect in disgrace after failure.
However, some of these successfully established sects were alienated from the holy land at the beginning, hoping to completely get rid of the control of the holy land, establish a complete inheritance system, and call the shots.
After some initially fed back to the Sect Master's Holy Land, with the improvement of the inheritance and the passage of time, the inherited monks' sense of belonging to the Sect Master's Holy Land became weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the Sect Master's Holy Land received a large amount of feedback from their own sect.
He was dissatisfied and his independence became stronger and stronger.
No matter which method is used, in the end there will be huge conflicts and disagreements with the six holy places as the suzerains, which will eventually explode. After that, the six holy places will have to spend a huge price to clean up these forces that have separated from themselves.
In fact, after the Six Holy Lands, a considerable number of the first large-scale sects born in the world of cultivation were forces that split from the Six Holy Lands.
After the cleanup of the six holy places, the remaining large sects have either reached the point where their strength has already reached the point where the sect's main sect has become a threat to the sect, or they have once again turned to the sect's main sect as a tool of their loyalty to preserve the inheritance.
The former was completely freed from the control of the Holy Land and passed on, while the latter was even more tightly controlled by the Holy Land.
"Does such a large sect still exist in the cultivation world today?"
Lu Ping said: "Yes, but not many. The former is like Zifu Pavilion, the back of Fenglei Island is controlled by Crystal Palace, and Xihuang Palace often follows the footsteps of Ziyang Palace; the latter is like Tianxuan Sect to Five Elements Sect, split
The Tianjian Sect, Ziyang Palace, and several sects in the South China Sea all have more or less connections with the Holy Land in China."
"Tianxuan Sect? Sky Splitting Sword Sect? Nowadays, these are all top large-scale sects with Ancestor Chunyang as the leader. They are actually independent from the Six Holy Lands?"
Lu Ping nodded and said: "Although it is unbelievable, it is true!"
Deng Ming smiled "hehe" and then asked: "So Xiangyun City can be regarded as one of the more obedient extended forces in Lingyun Valley?"
Lu Ping nodded, shook his head, and said: "Yes and no, Xiangyun City is a bit special. Xiangyun City was also going to be eradicated by Lingyun Valley at the beginning, mainly because of the threat of the demon clan in Endless Mountain.
Lingyun Valley finally had to retain this large sect, and it can be said that it is in a semi-independent state."
Deng Ming sighed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
Lu Ping also sighed: "The Seventh Patriarch opened the sky and taught the Dharma and left behind the method of cultivation. However, with the rise of large and small sects and the current prosperity of the cultivation world, which is like the contention of all methods, the six holy places sincerely do not want to do this, but judging from the results,
I have to say they made a great contribution!"
After a pause, Lu Ping continued: "If it were at the beginning of the establishment of the Six Holy Lands, it might not be difficult to find some independent inheritance systems apart from the Six Holy Lands. However, after tens of thousands of years of integration and development, any sect in the cultivation world would not be able to find some independent inheritance system.
It is extremely difficult to find an inheritance system that completely breaks away from the imprint of the Six Holy Lands. If you think about it carefully, I am afraid that only the inheritance of the Yuwen Family can make people confident. Oh, maybe the formation inheritance of the Kongming Sect is also one of them.
."
Deng Ming shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Lu, where did you know all this?"
Lu Ping smiled "hehe", looked forward, and said: "Qingming River is here!"
The Qingming River has not yet appeared in the sight of the two of them, but the sound of splashing waves has already been heard in the distance.
