Liu Jianhong had fallen into the demonic path. No matter if he was sincere or helpless, this was a path of no return. He had no other choice.
The Liu Clan members in the Red Leaf Manor were not allowed to leave the manor before the plan was completed. Hence, Chu Xiu only left a few people to guard the place. He then chose another deserted place in Eastern Qi as the location for the alliance. He also found a few people from the Hidden Devil Clan who were the best at formations and set up a huge formation, a huge killing formation!
At the same time, Liu Jianhong also spread the news in his own name. He gathered all the factions that were related to the battle of the Nine Heaven Demonic Dao Alliance to gather in Eastern Qi to discuss countermeasures.
Before Liu Jianhong sent them a message, this group of people were all in a state of panic. They looked for connections and thought of countermeasures, but none of them had any good ideas to stop the Hidden Devil Clan.
But now, Liu Jianhong's appearance gave them new hope.
Their individual factions and connections were indeed unable to stop the Hidden Devil Clan.
However, now that so many factions had joined forces, it was impossible for Lin Ye's subordinates to kill over a thousand of them with just over 20 people. It was more like a counterattack.
And most importantly, with such a huge commotion, they didn't believe that the large sects wouldn't make a move. Even if their alliance joined forces, they would be able to match some of the weaker factions in the martial world, such as the Azure Water Sword Sect and the Ba Mountain Sword Sect.
Hence, no matter what their intentions were, after receiving Liu Jianhong's news, almost no one refused. They all sent their elites to Eastern Qi to meet up with Liu Jianhong.
This group of people created such a huge commotion that the various large sects heard some news. But some started to take action, while some didn't.
Those who took action were mostly interested in the alliance formed by Liu Jianhong. Hence, they were prepared to send people to contact them. As for those who didn't take action, they were either uninterested or didn't care at all.
At this moment, in a small courtyard of the Great Light Temple's Wang Nian Zen Hall, two monks dressed in white monk robes were sitting in front of a Bodhi tree and playing chess.
One of them was a middle-aged monk with a fierce appearance. He was the first seat of the Vajra Institution, 'Venerable Skanda', Xu Yan.
On the other hand, the monk opposite him looked very strange.
At first glance, he looked very young. He seemed to be in his twenties, but upon closer inspection, he seemed to be in his thirties or forties.
If you looked into his eyes, you would feel a strange sense of vicissitudes. You would even suspect that he was hundreds of years old.
This strange monk was the head of the three great Meditation Halls of the Great Radiance Temple, the First Seat of the Raging Thought Meditation Hall, the Nine Wonders Dragon Tree, Xu Yun. He was recognized by the outside world as a powerful being who was second only to the Abbot, Reverend Shakya Xu Ci. However, within the Great Radiance Temple, many people felt that Xu Yun was even scarier than the Abbot, Xu Ci.
Because this is a person you can't see through at all.
Outsiders could not see through Xu Yun, and the people from the Temple of Great Light could not see through Xu Yun either. Even Xu Yun's teachers, the Buddhist masters from the previous generation of the Temple of Great Light, could not see through Xu Yun either.
In the end, Xu Yun, who was much more famous than Xu Ci, became the first seat of the Zen Hall of Delusion, while Xu Ci became the abbot.
However, within the Temple of Great Light, Xu Yun's status was not any lower than Xu Ci's. At the very least, Xu Yan's attitude towards Xu Ci was almost as respectful as the abbot.
At this moment, Xu Yun casually put down a chess piece and slaughtered Xu Yan's entire dragon. Xu Yan's hand moved slightly, but he eventually put down the chess piece and smiled bitterly, "Senior Brother Xu Yun, I've lost."
Xu Yun put away the chessboard and said calmly, "Xu Yan, when you play chess, you always feel a little uneasy. Did something happen? If there was nothing, you wouldn't have come looking for me in a hurry to play chess. "
Xu Yan smiled bitterly, "It's nothing much. It's just that there have been a lot of things happening in the Underworld recently. Some of them are things that our Temple of Great Light has to deal with, but there are also some that we don't know if we should or not. "Right now, the abbot is in seclusion, so I can only ask you, Senior Brother Xu Yun."
Xu Yun said slowly, "Oh? What is it? "
Xu Yan organized his words and told Xu Yun about the recent happenings of the Hidden Devil lineage.
"Right now, that Eastern Qi's Red Leaf Manor's Liu Jianhong is inviting all the small factions that participated in the battle in the Nine Heaven Mountain back then to join the Eastern Qi Alliance. He has made quite a big fuss. If this alliance is formed by him, it will be even stronger than factions like the Azure Water Sword Sect or the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, which are ranked in the Underworld."
After Xu Yun heard this, he nodded and said, "If that is the case, this Liu Jianhong is really someone. He isn't like the other factions that are waiting for their deaths. Instead, he has taken the initiative.
If this crisis is resolved, he can take advantage of the situation and become the leader of this alliance. His influence will not lose out to the Northern Yan Memorial Manor.
"Before this, this person has been carefully lying low. This time, he has shocked the world with a single brilliant feat and made such a big move. He is not a simple person."
Xu Yan said, "That is why I am also hesitating. Since that Liu Jianhong has already made a move, should our Great Light Temple still send someone over? Although that Lin Ye is strong and even heavily injured Xu Xing in the Minor Mortal Heaven, when faced with such a powerful alliance, even if he is a martial arts grandmaster, he will not be able to stop it. "
Xu Yun waved his hand and said, "Of course we have to go. If this matter is not handled well, it might even cause an intense conflict between the orthodox and demonic sects. Our Great Light Temple cannot be absent."
Xu Yan said in surprise, "It can't be. The Hidden Devil lineage has a sense of propriety this time. They have never acted against the major factions. They have only acted against the minor factions and the descendants of some itinerant cultivators. Could it be that they want to start a war between the orthodox and demonic sects?"
Xu Yun pointed to the sky and said, "Sometimes, we have to look further. Now that the demonic sects are reviving, a slight change will affect the whole. There are undoubtedly more things that we have to consider.
The alliance of the demonic sects in the Nine Heaven Mountain has already been destroyed for three hundred years. In the end, the Hidden Devil lineage is only preparing to take revenge now. If the demonic sects have not recovered, do you think they will resurface?
This time, Liu Jianhong has formed an alliance to resist the Hidden Devil lineage's revenge. According to what you said, the Hidden Devil lineage only has Lin Ye and over twenty elites. It is possible to destroy some minor factions, but against such a powerful alliance, it is no different from striking a rock with an egg. He will definitely lose.
The best possibility is that Lin Ye knows the difficulty and retreats. Anyway, he has already destroyed a few factions. It can be considered that he has taken revenge and settled the enmity for now.
The worst outcome is that Lin Ye is severely injured or killed. The Hidden Devil lineage will be completely enraged and will send even more experts to destroy Liu Jianhong's alliance.
At that time, how can our orthodox sects stand by and do nothing? We will still have to interfere. Do you think this will cause a conflict between the orthodox and demonic sects? "
Xu Yan wiped the sweat off his forehead. He really had not thought so far ahead.
Xu Yan already knew about this information, but after studying it for so long, he still had no clue. On the other hand, Xu Yun only heard it once and thought of the pros and cons. This was the difference between them.
In the entire Great Light Temple, in terms of the overall situation, apart from Xu Jing, who specialized in karma and reincarnation in the Karma Zen Hall, Xu Yun was the strongest.
Of course, to be precise, Xu Yun was strong in all aspects.
Xu Yan composed himself and said, "Then, Senior Brother Xu Yun, which side should we stand on? Do we need to help Liu Jianhong kill those demonic sects? "
Xu Yun waved his hand indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter whether we kill them or not. As long as the people of the Great Light Temple go there and make our stance clear, it will be fine. At that time, as long as Lin Ye is not an idiot, he will naturally retreat.
The Hidden Devil lineage is in a state of disunity. Apart from Wei Shuya and a few other old demons, as well as the new generation disciples like Lin Ye, the rest cannot withstand a single blow and are far from being a threat. Don't clash with them for now, and there is no need to care about them.
Right now, both the Great Light Temple and the Celestial Master Abode have their eyes on the Moon Worshipping Cult. Ye Shaonan is the true enemy! "
Xu Yan said hesitantly, "Senior Brother, could it be that you cannot defeat that Ye Shaonan?"
In Xu Yan's mind, Senior Brother Xu Yun's strength was unfathomable, even more so than Fang Zhang.
Although Xu Yan did not cultivate his spirit with true fire and could not figure out the strength of this realm, he still thought that Xu Yun was very strong, terrifyingly strong.
Previously, when the Blue Dragon Society's Bu Tiannan came looking for trouble because the Northern Yan's Heavenly Sin Branch had been destroyed, it was Xu Yun who had repelled him. It had taken him less than ten moves.
To outsiders, Xu Yun was only a few ranks higher than Bu Tiannan on the Excellence List. However, to Xu Yan, the difference in strength between the two was huge.
Although the Moon Worshipping Cult Master Ye Shaonan was famous, Xu Yan did not think that Xu Yun was weaker than Ye Shaonan.
Xu Yun extended a hand at Xu Yan, spread his fingers, and shook them.
"Fifty-fifty?" Xu Yan said hesitantly.
Xu Yun shook his head. "Five moves. I am confident that I can block five moves from Ye Shaonan without being defeated or at a disadvantage. After five moves, success or failure will be determined by the heavens. This is my estimation before Ye Shaonan mastered the Heaven-Mending Heart Sutra. Now that he has mastered it, everything is uncertain. "
Xu Yan sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard this. He never thought that Xu Yun's evaluation of Ye Shaonan would reach such a level. Could it be that another great demon like Dugu Weiwo would appear in the Jianghu?
Xu Yan shook his head and cast this terrifying thought aside. He asked, "Senior Brother Xu Yun, then who should my Great Light Temple send? Actually, the most suitable person to represent my Great Light Temple is Zong Xuan. However, he was defeated by Chu Xiu and is currently cultivating in seclusion. It is not good for me to interrupt his cultivation. "
Xu Yun casually waved his hand and said, "Let Xu Xing go. Coincidentally, there is nothing going on in the Dharma Court recently. He is very free."
Xu Yan said hesitantly, "Let Junior Brother Xu Xing go? However, he was heavily injured by Lin Ye's Seven Demon Saber in the Minor Mortal Sky. In addition to his fiery temper, I am afraid that he will fight with Lin Ye. "
Xu Yun said with an indifferent expression, "The righteous path does not want to have a conflict with the Hidden Devil Line now. However, this does not mean that we are afraid of the Hidden Devil Line.
If that Lin Ye is smart, he will know when to retreat. The two sides will not even meet.
On the other hand, if he insists on going, then it will be a good lesson for the Hidden Devil Line.
We do not care if they stay underground. If they dare to show themselves, then we will beat them down again! "
