In the Heavens

The Hengshan faction is running away, the Taishan faction can't shrink back, the Huashan faction can't talk, the Songshan faction and the Hengshan faction are rushing to Guanzhong to meet the alliance, and they seem to be gathering strength to fight back against the demon sect, but all the big forces know that the Wuyue Sword faction is Cowardly for the first time.

According to the usual practice of the war between good and evil in the past, at this moment, the Huashan faction has already used all its main forces, rushing to the front line of fighting against the demon sect.

If you know it, you know it, except for shutting the door and angrily scolding the cowards of the Wuyue Sword Sect, there is nothing anyone can do.

Fighting against the Demon Cult is a righteous thing in the world, but they didn't say not to resist the Demon Cult, did they? Although there was no actual action, the Huashan faction still raised the banner of anti-magic.

As for the slowness of action, it is not enough for outsiders. All the big factions in the world, including Shaolin and Wudang, are shouting slogans.

Without the righteous sect coming forward to stop them, the progress of the Demon Cult went smoothly. With almost no effort, they swept the land of the Three Jins and half of Qilu, and pointed directly at the land of the Central Plains and Jianghuai.

The Jianghu gangs and martial arts families along the way either temporarily avoided the edge, or joined the demon sect, and those who were top-notch could only wait eighteen years later.

The unlimited Demon Cult is like a snowball, the number of people grows as it goes forward.

It's obviously just a Jianghu gang, but the formation that was tossed out is like an army, and it's not an ordinary army.

Those who didn't know thought that there was a rebellion, and the officials along the way were frightened enough, and all kinds of memorials and letters for help were flying all over the sky.

If the emperor did not try his best to suppress it, I am afraid that the ministers would have to send troops to suppress it. Of course, fortunately no troops were actually sent, otherwise the peaceful days of the Ming Dynasty would be over.

People from the Devil's Cult are not easy to bully. Once their stubborn temper comes up, they dare to do anything.

If there is a commotion, those veteran soldiers from the Inland Guards Office are really no match for these gangsters.

Perhaps it was because of some scruples, or maybe it was because of other reasons, the Devil's Cult also restrained the congregation, and finally did not cause any major disturbances.

Seeing the soldiers of the Demon Cult pressing down on the situation, and waiting for others to strike first, the various factions in the world finally felt the pressure.

The first to bear the brunt is the Shaolin Temple, and the sequelae of the larger sphere of influence are now reflected. Whether it is the Demon Cult going north to the Central Plains or the Demon Cult going south, they have touched their interests.

Maybe Shaolin can continue to hide, but the gang of younger brothers who are attached to Shaolin can't hide now.

It is easy to give up the foundation, but it is difficult to get it back. Everyone knows that every battle between good and evil is a reshuffle of interests.

...

Songshan, in a secluded meditation room.

Abbot Yuan Cong asked solemnly, Junior Brother, what do the people from the Devil's Cult say?

As a great sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, Shaolin Temple can always stand still thanks to Lu Ziye.

Zen Master Yuantong, who was in charge of information contact, replied with a pale face: Brother Abbot, the current situation is not good.

After the ten elders of the Demon Sect were killed, that old devil Dugu Qingyun took over the power all by himself, and all the senior figures of the Demon Sect, including Dharma Guardians and Fenglei Sitang, were his cronies.

There are various indications that Dugu Qingyun's war between good and evil at this time is to eliminate dissidents in the church. Our people are no longer able to protect themselves, let alone influence the Demon Cult's decision-making.

Behind this seems to be the shadow of the palace. We tried many times to provoke conflicts between the Demon Cult and the imperial court, but we were suppressed in the end.

Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect, and cause and effect are very mysterious.

During the last incident in Luoyang, Shaolin used the Demon Sect to plot against the Huashan faction, and then under Huashan's revenge, the ten elders of the Demon Sect were wiped out, and even Shaolin's arrangement in the Demon Sect was affected.

To join the Devil's Sect, one must submit a certificate, and the matter of placing people in the Devil's Sect must not be exposed. This dumb Kui Shaolin can only swallow it in his stomach.

What's even more tragic is that the Huashan faction was beaten and behaved, but there was no one to check and balance the Demon Sect. Without the Huashan faction charging forward, the Wuyue Sword faction would not be able to retreat, and Shaolin would have to face the threat of the Demon Cult.

In addition, the person in the imperial city is still behind the scenes and fueling the flames. In this battle between good and evil, it is almost impossible for Shaolin Temple to be alone.

Abbot Yuan Cong sighed and said with emotion: It's an eventful autumn!

The Demon Sect seems to be powerful, but in reality it is a mob. As long as Shaolin Temple breaks out with all its strength, it is not impossible to defeat the Demon Sect army.

But the account can't be calculated like this. Wars are deadly, and every time there is a battle between good and evil, the final casualties are five figures.

In the past, the Five Sacred Sword Sect was the main force, coupled with the limited support of various factions in the Jianghu, Shaolin Temple is not too big a deal to watch the excitement, and occasionally it can hold back and eliminate dissidents.

This time, if you want to lead the team yourself, the ending will be completely different. Who knows if the martial arts factions will lose the chain at a critical moment and let them fight with the Demon Cult.

Now the Demon Sect's army is mostly recruited along the way, and they don't feel sorry for them if they die, but the disciples of Shaolin are cultivated slowly.

It is conceivable that with such an unequal exchange, after a great battle between good and evil, Shaolin will inevitably be seriously injured. Especially the peripheral forces, do not know how much they will lose.

Weakness is the greatest original sin. Once its own strength is damaged, it will be difficult for Shaolin to maintain its current sphere of influence.

It's a vicious cycle. With the reduction of the sphere of influence, the resources in hand will inevitably decrease, which will affect the training of disciples, and then affect the strength of the next generation.

One's own power is weakening, but competitors who have obtained more resources are constantly strengthening. Under the ebb and flow, the vicious circle will only become more and more serious.

This is also the main reason why it is difficult for the big forces in the world to recover once they fall into decadence.

...

Shaolin is uncomfortable, and Wudang is not easy. The Demon Cult's large-scale southward movement also affected Wudang's interests, and letters of help from the younger brothers flooded Wudang Mountain like snowflakes.

Don't look at the good relationship between Wudang and the imperial court, just think that you can sit back and relax. For the person on the dragon chair, Wudang, who is too powerful, is still an unstable factor.

If the Wudang faction can be weakened through the battle between good and evil, it will definitely be a good thing for maintaining the rule.

What made Daoist Tianxu even more troublesome was that the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River was used to being weak, and the only few first-class schools were built from resources, and their overall strength was far inferior to that in the north.

If you don't take the lead, other sects will not be able to take on the important task of fighting against the Demon Cult. Once the Demon Cult is allowed to gain a firm foothold, there will never be peace.

Maybe the Devil's Cult will have a big relocation, after all, it's hard to find a place with a lot of money and weak competitors. It is better to go to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the blessings than to fight with the bitter hahas in the north.

Chongxu, send out a Jianghu post. Invite fellow martial artists to fight against the invasion of the Demon Cult, especially the major sects in the south of the Yangtze River. Anyone who refuses to contribute will be regarded as an accomplice of the Demon Cult...
