Shui Qianxun said, "If the Lotus Demon awakens, it will bring disaster to the Demon Abyss and the entire human race. The Magic Lotus Sect will be the first to bear the brunt of it. We must think of a way to stop them!"
Ji Wenfeng said, "That's right! We must hurry and inform all the sect masters! "
Lin Xuan opened the spatial portal and let everyone out.
Shui Qianxun and the others didn't stay. They hurriedly left the camp and returned to Heavenly Tripod City to inform their respective masters.
Lin Xuan was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't have any backing in the Demon Abyss, so he couldn't just go there.
Just as Shui Qianxun said, if the Lotus Demon awakened, the Magic Lotus Sect would be the first to suffer.
It had only awakened for a short while, but it had already caused tens of thousands of Magic Lotus Sect members to betray it.
If they waited for it to fully awaken, the entire Magic Lotus Sect's devout believers would probably betray it and become uncontrollable monsters.
According to Lin Xuan's knowledge, the Magic Lotus Sect had millions of martial artists. Seventy percent of them relied on their faith in the Lotus God to cultivate.
If all of them betrayed it, the consequences would be unimaginable!
However, there was no point in being anxious.
Lin Xuan gradually calmed down. He sat down on a chair and calmly thought about his next plan.
There was actually a Soul Cultivating Stone in the deep pool where the Magic Lotus grew. This was definitely not a coincidence.
Who was it that did this? What was their motive?
Although he didn't know too much, Lin Xuan's intuition told him that it was very likely that the other party was coming for him.
If the Magic Lotus Sect was destroyed and became the public enemy of the human race, Lin Xuan would also become a demon that everyone wanted to kill. When that happened, no matter how big the world was, there would probably be no place for him.
"If they're really coming for me, then they must be my greatest enemy. This enemy must be the Keelung Sect!"
Lin Xuan's eyes flickered. Two cold rays of light flashed past.
This guess was somewhat bold, but it was not without basis.
According to what he knew, the calamity that befell the Magic Lotus Sect fourteen years ago was also caused by the Keelung Sect using the Lotus Demons. From there, they used their methods to wipe out the higher-ups of the Magic Lotus Sect in one fell swoop.
Now, it was not impossible for him to use the same trick again!
At this moment, Wu Huan walked in from outside.
"My lord!"
"What's the situation with the traitors?" Lin Xuan looked up and asked.
Wu Huan said with a grave expression, "Master, according to my observations, the potential of those traitors has been fully stimulated, and their strength has increased by 1 to 3 times.
However, they have completely lost their consciousness, as if they have become walking corpses. Their minds are filled with bloodlust and slaughter, and they are unable to recover. "
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, his heart heavy.
The Energy of Faith belonged to the category of the Divine Dao, and it was far from something he could understand at this moment. Moreover, he didn't have any way to deal with it.
His Power of Creation might be able to save a few, but it wasn't necessary.
He thought for a moment, looked at Jing Wushang, and ordered, "Jing Wushang, have the divine guards increase their vigilance! If I'm not wrong, we will soon be in big trouble! "
"My lord, you mean …" Jing Wushang stared blankly.
Lin Xuan smiled coldly, "This is definitely not a coincidence. The enemy will not let go of this opportunity to hit us while we are down. The Magic Lotus Sect may soon be labeled as a demon!"
On the same day, the remaining members of the Magic Lotus Sect all over the Empire began to mutate. They started massacring the people around them, causing chaos everywhere. The world was shocked.
That night, the Regent Crown Prince gathered the cabinet ministers and drafted an edict targeting the Magic Lotus Sect, announcing it to the world.
In the edict, the Magic Lotus Sect was labeled as a demon that harmed the world, and all martial artists in the world were called upon to punish them!
As for the Magic Lotus Sect's Sect Master Lin Xuan, the Ten Deadly Sins were announced, and an unprecedented bounty was offered. Anyone who captured Lin Xuan alive would be conferred the title of a King, and be bestowed a first-class city!
For a moment, the world was in an uproar, and everyone went crazy over it.
Being conferred the title of a King, and being bestowed land. This reward was a thousand times more generous than the reward for a top-grade Mysterious Grade item!
Even the Sect Masters of some large sects might not be able to resist such temptation.
This edict was undoubtedly a blow to the Magic Lotus Sect, which had just started to improve. It also caused a lot of trouble for Lin Xuan.
The next day, Mu Jianfeng, Yan Hui, Li Qiushui, and the others led more than five thousand remnants of the Magic Lotus Sect out of Heavenly Tripod City and rushed to Griffin Ridge to meet up with Lin Xuan.
On the same day, all the sects and clans drew a clear line with the Magic Lotus Sect and moved their camps five kilometers away.
Even the other five sects of the Demon Abyss remained silent about this.
In the tent, Lin Xuan sat boldly on the main seat. His expression was calm and determined, and his gaze was indifferent as he looked at the dispirited upper echelons of the Magic Lotus Sect below him.
To be honest, Lin Xuan was also very dispirited and angry that he had fallen into such a situation.
However, as a leader, he had to bear the responsibility and dignity of a leader.
"My Lord, the martial arts world is now full of hostility toward us. The Heavenly Tripod Army is also eyeing us covetously. This Griffin Ridge is no longer a place to stay. I hope my Lord can make a plan soon!" Yan Hui said.
Lin Xuan said indifferently, "What do you all think? Let's hear it."
Tie Lie said, "Hmph, those guys are just a bunch of fence-sitters. There's nothing to be afraid of! My Lord, since you've already been conferred the title of Northern Marquis and have Wanhua City as your fief, why don't we take the opportunity to enter Wanhua City and establish our foundation there? "
"That's not right!"
Dun Fei shook his head. "In the edict issued by the Crown Prince, Lin Xuan's ten crimes were listed. The first one is to tamper with the Crown Prince's decree, kill the imperial court officials, and rebel. If we head to Wanhua City now, I'm afraid the two hundred thousand Jinhua Army soldiers won't agree. "
Dun Fei was actually quite reserved. Not only would the two hundred thousand Jinhua Army soldiers not agree, they were probably looking forward to Lin Xuan walking right into their trap so that they could capture Lin Xuan and obtain the title of King!
The current Lin Xuan, with the huge bounty on his head, had long become a piece of fatty meat in the eyes of the world. Who wouldn't want to take a bite out of him if they had the ability?
The surrounding martial artists, as well as the twenty thousand Heavenly Tripod Army soldiers, didn't attack the Magic Lotus Sect because they weren't strong enough and couldn't take down the ten thousand Magic Lotus Sect experts.
Lin Xuan stood up, looked at the map on the wall, and said, "We can't stay in Griffin Ridge anymore. We can't go back to Heavenly Tripod City, and we can't go to Wanhua City either. We can only choose a fallen city, take it down, and use it as a place to settle down. Think about it, everyone, which one is more suitable? "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the map and ponder.
After a moment of silence, Mu Jianfeng suddenly said, "Lin Xuan, I think Heaven Song City should be a good choice."
"Heaven Song City?"
Lin Xuan was stunned. He looked at the map and found that Heaven Song City was a medium-sized city located at the top of a mountain, five hundred miles northwest of Heavenly Tripod City. It originally had a population of less than a million and was surrounded by ferocious beasts. Now, it had been occupied by a Blood Dragon Clan.
Mu Jianfeng continued, "Heaven Song City is located at the top of Scarlet Mountain. The surrounding terrain is dangerous, and it's easy to defend but hard to attack. Scarlet Mountain contains a large amount of Scarlet Flame Ore, which is very sturdy and suitable for setting up a great defensive formation.
Moreover, Heaven Song City is located at the center of the Northern Wilderness. In ancient times, it was the capital of a great dynasty in the Northern Wilderness. It can be considered a place where dragons flourished. "
Dun Fei also nodded in agreement, "Elder Mu's suggestion is good. Heaven Song City has an extraordinary atmosphere and excellent feng shui. It's indeed a good choice!"
"Report —"
A divine guard transmitted a message from outside the tent, "My Lord, a thirty thousand strong Heavenly Tripod Army is teleporting to Griffin Ridge. Their intentions are unknown!"
"Hmm?" Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold.
At this time, there was no war, yet they sent an army here. They probably didn't come with good intentions.
Everyone couldn't help but look grave.
