After some exchange of drinks, the atmosphere seemed to become more familiar.
Cai Lun said, "Both of you are high-ranking officials of good and evil. I don't know why you came to Rongcheng this time."
Ling Lingzi was the first to answer, "I am here this time to represent the many righteous paths of Bashu. I hope to settle in Chengdu and open a shop to recruit disciples."
Cai Lun seemed very surprised when he heard this, "Recruiting disciples, I wonder why?"
Ling Lingzi smiled slightly, "I think City Lord Cai should know that we are originally from the void world."
"This place was called the original place in the past. All the creatures in our void world were born from this world."
"Now that the earth and the world have undergone major changes, they will be integrated into the original land."
"During the integration process, our void world also experienced major changes."
"A large number of people died, not even one out of ten was left alive."
"In order to develop the sect, we need to absorb new blood and deal with other gods and demons who have also descended from the void world."
"Furthermore, we are originally a human race and have the same origin as the human race in the original land. Naturally, we must protect the survival of mankind."
"The integration of the two worlds must of course start from ourselves."
At this time, Jin Rongzi on the side intervened, "What Linglingzi said is right."
"Now that the world has changed drastically, there will be great catastrophes that will break out in the future. No matter whether it is the people in the original land or the people in our void world, they cannot avoid it."
"So we need to strengthen our strength and fight the catastrophe together."
"Otherwise, our human race will be in danger of destruction."
"There are countless mysterious alien races in the void world, but they all covet the orthodox status of our human race."
........
The two men explained their purpose simply and clearly, and Cai Lun's face showed surprise from time to time.
Zhuang Wuming was listening on the sidelines. The two of them were sending out a message intentionally or unintentionally.
That is, in the future, all alien races will seize territory, kill human races, and dominate the world.
Humanity can only survive in this world by relying on them.
Therefore, there is only one thing the human race in the main world needs to do, and that is to join them and become the base for selecting disciples for various sects.
After listening to what the two said, Cai Lun showed a thoughtful expression.
"From what you two said, it is true that our situation is quite critical, and it is imminent to open the restaurant and recruit apprentices."
"However, our human race is in dire need and needs manpower. This is a problem. I wonder what you can provide to protect our Chengdu."
Ling Lingzi smiled boldly, "Don't worry, everyone who comes today will stay in Chengdu. Any creature that intends to invade Chengdu will be killed by us."
As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Rongzi unconsciously.
"Especially the demonic and evil ways are not suitable to be stationed in Rongcheng. I hope City Lord Cai understands."
Hearing this, Jin Rongzi smiled indifferently and said, "Ling Lingzi's words are wrong. My demonic path and the side sect are also of the same lineage as the human race."
"Why can't we enter Chengdu? It's not you, Emei, who has the final say here."
"Although in the void world, you, Emei, occupy the great destiny, and the spiritual sky and fairy world cannot interfere, but now it is the original land."
"Both the Western Emperor and the Northern Emperor have issued decrees. Your good days in Emei are over."
Linglingzi's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He hadn't heard the news yet. Since Jin Rongzi dared to say this, he was on target.
His eyes condensed, "Really? This Chengdu is the decree personally issued by the Emperor of the East, the Emperor of the South, and the Emperor of the Central. I will not give in."
The atmosphere between Ling Lingzi and Jin Rongzi suddenly became tense, and an inexplicable murderous aura filled the air between them.
At this time, Zhuang Wuming said, "You two, this is Rongcheng, and the future of Rongcheng is decided by ourselves."
The cold and stern voice was like a cold wind blowing by. Instantly, everyone at the banquet felt their hearts skip a beat and their hair stood on end.
Ling Lingzi and Jin Rongzi were both aroused, and they woke up from fighting against each other.
A look of horror flashed through their eyes, and they looked at Zhuang Wuming intently. Zhuang Wuming was like a god in their eyes.
An aura of peerless evil enveloped him. It was an aura of killing, and a strong murderous aura enveloped him.
Seeing Zhuang Wuming's cold gaze, they immediately put away their last trace of contempt. Even among immortals and demons, Zhuang Wuming was definitely not a weakling.
As for how powerful it is, it can only be determined by fighting once.
At this time, Cai Lun smiled slightly and said, "Why do you two have to argue? Chengdu has a population of 18 million, and everyone is a killing master."
"It's enough for both good and evil to recruit disciples. However, as the city lord and mayor of Chengdu, I am naturally responsible for everyone. We need to discuss the matter of opening a museum to recruit disciples in detail."
"Today we are here to help everyone, so we won't say much more. We will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss how to do it in detail."
Ling Lingzi and Jin Rongzi looked at each other, raised their glasses and said, "Shan, let's talk tomorrow."
A banquet ended without incident, but the undercurrent under the water was surging.
At night, Zhuang Wuming and the five of them sat together again.
Cai Lun looked serious, "Everyone, I met people from both good and evil paths today. It seems that they have a deep connection."
"Although they are at odds on the surface, their upper echelons seem to be in the same system."
Sikong Ming said at this time, "I actually have some information about this."
"I am the Great Elder of the Outer Hall in Emei. The realm of immortals and demons is very chaotic. There are nine huge forces in total."
"The Lingkong Immortal Realm is just one of them, and they are also divided into two groups: good and evil."
"The composition of the spiritual world is based on the legendary Laozi as the co-resident, Sakyamuni as the deputy leader, and under him are the Five Emperors who rule the immortals."
"The Great Sun Tathagata under Sakyamuni is the Western Emperor, and the legendary Blood Sea Styx, known as the ancestor of the devil, is the Northern Emperor."
"The Eastern Emperor is Emei ancestor Ren Shou, the Southern Emperor is the innate Suzaku, and the Central Emperor is Master Xuandu, my direct disciple."
"Under these five emperors are various immortals, demons, and Buddhas, who hold different positions according to their respective cultivation levels."
"In the Lingkong Immortal Realm, once you reach the fifth level, you are a Golden Immortal. They are immortal creatures. In total, there are no more than a hundred."
"Other types of heavenly and earthly immortals are nothing more than fourth-level purgatory."
"Although the spiritual world is its own system, it is still full of struggles."
"In the past, because Ren Shou was the last emperor, Emei took great initiative in the lower realms, seized the great fortune, and suppressed the side sects, Buddhism, and demons for thousands of years."
"Now that the void world is integrated into the earth, everything seems to be broken, and the contradictions will naturally break out."
"We can still make ends meet for the time being, so there won't be any big problem."
"However, we humans must have someone who can rival the Five Emperors appear as soon as possible in order to truly gain a foothold. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether we will be completely swallowed up in the future." (To be continued)
