No one knows the reason, but it suddenly fell into huge chaos.
No one was given time to react.
As we all know, the Shitang Dynasty was one of the secular dynasties with the most powerful comprehensive strength and the vastest territory, and under the protection of the Qingyun Sect, there had never been such a chaos for thousands of years.
More than half of the Qingyun Sect's vast resources for cultivating immortals every year are contributed by the Shitang Dynasty.
Without the support of mortal forces, it would be impossible for the Xian Family Sect to reach such a scale.
Therefore, the Shitang Dynasty was very important to the Qingyun Sect.
It can be said that if the Shitang Dynasty collapses, the Qingyun Sect will inevitably be severely damaged. You must know that other top sects have always been watching.
But now, the Shitang Dynasty is in chaos.
More than 90% of the chambers of commerce suddenly declared bankruptcy, and the people fell into absolute panic. Even if the royal family responded in time and opened the granaries to prevent the people from starving to death, it was not enough.
The remaining 10% of chambers of commerce simply cannot support the normal operation of the Shitang Dynasty.
Even the imperial merchants cut off all contact with the palace and disappeared.
Post stations, contact points and other places in various places were completely paralyzed, and all material supplies were cut off.
It's a mess, it's a complete mess.
The entire Shitang Dynasty was in chaos.
The emperor ordered a thorough investigation.
Unfortunately, nothing was found at all.
Even conveying orders has become extremely difficult.
The 90% Chamber of Commerce seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and was unable to restart, as if a pair of invisible hands were manipulating everything.
You must know that these chambers of commerce are not only engaged in mundane business, but the business among monks has also been greatly affected.
Major auction houses and shops are closed.
Countless casual cultivators were unable to buy cultivation resources and had nowhere to sell the spiritual objects they found. Naturally, they had no choice but to leave the Shitang Dynasty and find another place. On the contrary, evil cultivators began to wreak havoc again.
In such a situation, it is most suitable to "take advantage of the situation".
The most important thing is that countless spiritual mines within the Shitang Dynasty have also suddenly closed down. The monks and miners responsible for mining have all disappeared without a trace, and the output of spiritual stones has dropped crazily.
You must know that the spiritual mine is the place where heaven and earth condense, and countless pure spiritual stones are bred in it.
Not to mention that without spiritual stones, the speed of cultivation would be greatly reduced.
Various formations will also stop functioning.
Spirit gathering arrays, teleportation arrays, protective arrays, etc. All formations require energy. If there is a lack of spiritual stones, the monks must personally inject spiritual power into them continuously.
For a sect, spiritual veins and spiritual mines are the most important things and must not be lost.
If more than 90% of these spiritual mines from Shitang Dynasty are mined, they will be dedicated to the Qingyun Sect.
It is precisely because of this that the Xian family sect protects the secular dynasty.
The mining of spiritual mines is an extremely important and hidden matter. The Qingyun Sect specially sends affiliated forces to guard the spiritual mines together with the secular dynasty to prevent accidents.
But now the spirit mine has been closed for no apparent reason.
Someone vaguely remembered that although the Spiritual Mine belonged to the Shitang Dynasty and the Qingyun Sect, mining actually relied on those large chambers of commerce, otherwise there would be completely insufficient manpower.
If there are not enough manpower, the mining volume will naturally be insufficient.
But now with internal and external troubles, there is no need to worry about the spiritual mine.
The royal family of the Shitang Dynasty hurriedly reported the news to the Qingyun Sect. The current situation was no longer something that an ordinary dynasty could handle.
There must be some immortal force specifically targeting the Shitang Dynasty, otherwise how could we encounter such a situation.
The Qingyun Sect was also puzzled.
There have been no major conflicts with the other ten major sects recently, so there is no reason to be targeted.
As for other weaker sects, how dare they target the Qingyun Sect.
The Shitang Dynasty fell into chaos, and the Qingyun Sect was also seriously injured. Therefore, the Qingyun Sect attached great importance to this matter and sent a large number of monks to investigate.
The results of the investigation came out quickly.
The heads of major chambers of commerce were found.
But they were also confused.
Because the real master behind them ordered them to close down, and there was even a vague idea of moving them all out of the Shitang Dynasty.
When the Qingyun Sect monks asked who the master was behind the scenes, without exception, all the responsible persons shook their heads.
They don't know either.
Are all the same forces behind so many chambers of commerce?
The Qingyun Sect monk who discovered this felt a chill in his back.
Doesn't that mean that as long as the master family is willing, the Shitang Dynasty of Nuo Da can quickly collapse in a short period of time?
What a scary discovery.
Not even the Qingyun Sect can force these shops to reopen.
Normally, as long as the Qingyun Sect comes forward, all problems should disappear.
But that's clearly not the case now.
This news is very bad, because the Qingyun Sect has been affected by the affairs of the Shitang Dynasty.
If things go on like this, Qingyun Sect will also fall into deep quagmire.
The senior officials of Qingyun Sect were all worried and didn't know what to do.
What happened?
"Please quickly ask the sect master to come out and take charge of the overall situation." The great elder of Linxian Pavilion shouted with a slightly trembling voice.
It is necessary to ask the sect leader to come out of seclusion, which in itself reflects everyone's incompetence.
Everyone was ashamed.
But I really can't think of any solution at the moment.
...
...
In the secret practice room.
Lin Xi stared at the puppets in front of him, feeling cold in his heart. He was ready to summon the Night Rakshasa and them at any time.
The puppet, which was originally a dead object, inexplicably emerged with a glimmer of life.
It felt as if some life was awakening.
That vague consciousness suddenly became more clear-headed.
Especially the two golden lights shooting out of the black helmet made Lin Xi feel uncomfortable all over.
"Do not be afraid."
A mysterious fluctuation of consciousness appeared on the puppet.
Lin Xi looked uncertain: "You...are you alive?"
"No, he is dead. But I seem to be still alive."
This fluctuation in consciousness gave Lin Xi a familiar feeling.
Combine it with what the other person is saying.
A jaw-dropping idea popped into Lin Xi's mind, and he asked in a low voice: "Zheng Qipeng?"
"it's me."
Lin Xiren fainted.
This scene is really too weird.
It catches people off guard.
"Didn't you die in the thunder and fire? Even the elders of the sect have confirmed this." Lin Xi couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Qipeng replied: "I am indeed dead. If I want the puppet to have the ability to advance independently, I must let it give birth to the so-called spirit like a magic weapon. So I sacrificed the soul of flesh and blood and used ancient methods to cultivate the puppet.
Out of spirit."
"Failed?"
"Of course I succeeded. Will I fail?"
As arrogant as ever.
"But I didn't expect that after my spirituality was cultivated, my soul was retained and placed on the puppet." Zheng Qipeng said: "Xirang is indeed the top divine creature in the world, and it actually has a soul that warms and nourishes it.
The effect. So my soul has never been able to dissipate and is locked inside the puppet."
Fortunately, Lin Xi's consciousness continued to activate the puppet, allowing Zheng Qipeng's soul to see the light of day again.
Lin Xi quickly calmed down.
There are countless mysteries in the world.
A world where immortals can be born.
No matter how bizarre things happen, it’s not surprising.
"So you are just this puppet now?" Lin Xi asked.
"No." Zheng Qipeng said: "The puppet is a puppet. It has its own soul. I am just a residual soul trapped in the puppet."
