After Lin Xuan left Yuzhou, he entered the territory of the Great Xia Empire.
Before he entered the Secret Territory, the Great Xia Empire had already compromised and signed an agreement with the Divine Lotus Path, allowing the Divine Lotus Path to spread their teachings and develop their followers.
Lin Xuan floated to the ground and flew in the air. As he flew, he observed the situation in the Great Xia Empire.
Gradually, he realized that most of the cities and towns had many buildings with the symbol of the Divine Lotus Path. Their unique shapes were very eye-catching.
Countless Daoists in gold and white robes could be seen everywhere on the streets and in the alleys.
Besides that, Lin Xuan also noticed that some cities had many businesses with the symbol of the Divine Lotus Path, Beast Fighting Arenas, and schools. There were all sorts of things and they covered many areas.
Lin Xuan nodded his head. Just from the surface, the Divine Lotus Path's power was developing very quickly and it was still developing rapidly. Perhaps there were some problems with the headquarters, but it didn't affect the periphery too much.
However, he felt a little strange. It wasn't surprising that the Divine Lotus Path had some businesses that made money.
But who was the one who thought of building a large number of civil and martial schools and spreading their teachings?
However, it was still a good thing, especially after he became the Sword Master of the Human Sovereign Sword. Educating the people and gathering the hearts of the people was something he had to do.
After Lin Xuan traveled for a while, he gradually frowned.
The Great Xia Empire wasn't peaceful. Like other places in the world, wherever there were martial artists, there would be killings.
Lin Xuan even saw more than ten cases of internal strife within the Divine Lotus Path. Lin Xuan couldn't be bothered with these situations. When one's power grew, such things were inevitable.
However, what made him frown was that as he moved forward, there were more and more killings within the Divine Lotus Path. The scale of the killings was also larger and larger, which made him wary.
Half a day later, he stopped in the air above a city.
He looked down and gloomily looked at the thousands of people killing each other on the streets.
"Kill … Kill all these inhumane traitors!"
"Hmph, the ones who should be killed are you false believers! You all deserve to die for being disloyal to Goddess Lotus Goddess and Taiyi Saint King! "
"Tai Yi Saint King and Lian Shen Holy Mother are compassionate towards the common people. They will not allow you to harm the common people! Die! "
"Ahhhhh!"
The sounds of battle shook the heavens, and the sounds of battle resounded for hundreds of li.
The two parties fighting were both from the Divine Lotus Sect. However, there was a slight difference in their attire.
One of the robes was embroidered with a water lotus and a scroll, which was the symbol of the Chong Shen Temple. The duty of the Shrine of Reverence was to spread the doctrine and develop followers.
On the other hand, there was a lotus flower and a small pagoda embroidered on the white robe. That was the symbol of the Political Affairs Hall. The Political Affairs Hall was responsible for managing the people's livelihood and maintaining the stability of the region.
At this moment, there were five to six hundred people on each side, and they were fighting fiercely.
Their attacks were ruthless and merciless. It was as if there was an absolutely irreconcilable hatred between them. People died one after another. Broken limbs and body parts filled the sky. It was extremely tragic.
Lin Xuan's expression was ugly. There were occasional conflicts within the Divine Lotus Sect, but he could not be bothered with them. However, at this moment, hundreds and thousands of people were fighting, and they were like fire and water. This was definitely not a small problem.
This meant that there was a disagreement between the upper echelons of the Divine Lotus Sect.
"Everyone, stop!"
Lin Xuan landed in mid-air and released a powerful aura that covered hundreds of li of land. Everyone in the city below could not help but feel their hearts sink, and their faces turned pale.
The two parties fighting below could not help but stop what they were doing. They retreated from the battle and looked at the figure in the sky in shock.
Very quickly, someone recognized Lin Xuan and immediately let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
"It's the Sect Master! Oh my god! The Sect Master has actually come in person! "
"Greetings to the Sect Master! The Sect Master's skills are as good as the heavens! "
"Sect Master, please uphold justice! Punish these traitors! "
"..."
After a moment of shock, both parties knelt on one knee and looked at Lin Xuan in the sky with respect.
Lin Xuan landed in the empty space between the two parties and said coldly, "Who's in charge? Step forward!"
In the next moment, one person walked out from each side. They were all mid-level God Astral Realm experts.
The two of them approached Lin Xuan with trepidation and bowed to him.
"Chong Shen Hall's Yan City branch, Flag Leader Lu Zhong greets the Sect Master!"
"Government Affairs Hall's Yan City Patrol, Huo Gang greets the Sect Master!"
Lu Zhong and Huo Gang were very respectful to Lin Xuan. However, when the two of them looked at each other, their eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent, as if they could kill at any time.
Lin Xuan glanced at the two of them coldly and asked condescendingly, "Tell me, why are you killing each other? Aren't you afraid of the punishment? "
Hearing this, Huo Gang of the Government Affairs Hall glared at Lu Zhong and complained to Lin Xuan, "Sect Master, it's not that we don't follow the rules. It's just that the Chong Shen Hall is inhumane and unscrupulous. We can't stand it anymore!
"In order to complete the task given to us by the higher-ups, they are willing to do anything. They force the people to convert to our Dao. If there is any objection, they will use torture. Even the elderly and children are not spared. They treat human life like dirt.
"They use all kinds of tricks to seize the people's property. If there is any resistance, they will immediately start a massacre, angering the heavens and the people.
"In nearly a month, tens of thousands of innocent people have died in their hands. The city is full of complaints. Countless small and medium-sized families have to flee out of fear of our Divine Lotus Sect.
"If this goes on, it won't be long before Ju Yan City becomes an empty city, a dead city!
"We are responsible for maintaining the people's livelihood. Now, the people in Ju Yan City have no way to make a living and are full of resentment towards our Divine Lotus Sect. It's all because of these guys' unscrupulous actions. Therefore, we have to stand up and stop them!"
"Hmph!"
Just as Huo Gang finished speaking, Lü Zhong could not help but let out a disdainful snort. He cupped his fists at Lin Xuan and said, "Sect Master, Huo Gang is completely distorting the truth! I seriously suspect that the people from the Political Affairs Hall have secretly colluded with the Great Xia Dynasty to subvert our Divine Lotus Sect … "
"Bullsh * t!" Huo Gang scolded angrily.
"Hmph!"
Lü Zhong snorted and continued, "Sect Master, I have been preaching in Ju Yan City for more than half a year. However, because the Great Xia Dynasty has secretly prevented the people from converting to our Dao, they have spread news that is not beneficial to our Divine Lotus Sect and slandered our reputation. As a result, our Divine Lotus Sect has been developing slowly.
"If that's all, I can tolerate it.
However, what I can't tolerate is that some families in the city have been instigated by the Great Xia Dynasty and have constantly sent men of sacrifice to assassinate our Dao followers. In the past half a year, more than 30 of our elite preachers have died. The Guardian Army has also suffered thousands of casualties. This has caused a great loss to our Divine Lotus Sect!
"If we don't deal with these rioters, how can we make the world respect us?
"Those martial arts families that we can't influence are not only stubborn, they are also going against our Divine Lotus Sect. They are not willing to enter the Dao and they are trying to prevent their neighbors from entering the Dao. Don't these people deserve to be killed?
Sect Master, I don't think I have done anything wrong. Please make a decision! "
Lü Zhong scolded angrily, "Then you shouldn't have started a massacre and killed the innocent! You won't even let go of a three-year-old child. Do you think a three-year-old child can stop you from preaching? "
"Hmph! If you want to cut the grass, you have to dig up the roots! Do you think we should leave these seeds of disaster behind and cause trouble for our Divine Lotus Sect in the future? "
"…"
The two of them bickered and argued endlessly.
Lin Xuan stood in mid-air and watched the two of them argue coldly. His face was calm and emotionless.
On the surface, it seemed that the two of them had their own reasons. Their different responsibilities and goals led to a huge difference in opinion.
The duty of the Chong Shen Hall was to spread the teachings and develop the Dao followers. Other than that, they did not care about anything else.
As such, it was inevitable that they would be overly aggressive and unscrupulous during the preaching process.
On the other hand, the Political Affairs Hall had to consider the safety of the people. Regardless of whether they were followers of the Divine Lotus Sect or not, as long as they were obedient and were willing to pay taxes, they would be protected by the Political Affairs Hall.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the two of them were not wrong. They were doing what they were supposed to do.
The only problem was that the two halls lacked effective communication and coordination.
"It seems that there is a problem between Mu Qingxue and Chi Wufeng!" Lin Xuan thought to himself.
He did not want to investigate Lü Zhong and Huo Gang. He planned to punish them slightly and let them go.
However, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.
At this moment, he felt a strange sense of fear. He looked at his martial arts fate and realized that it had turned completely red.
"Hmm?"
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and touched the tortoiseshell on his waist instinctively. He became vigilant.
He looked down again and glanced at everyone's faces. He found something interesting.
He saw a hint of mockery in Huo Gang's eyes. Although it was fleeting, he still caught it.
"Could … this be a trap for me? That's interesting! Who could be behind this? "
The corners of Lin Xuan's mouth quietly curled into a cold arc.
