Chapter 567: Chaos in the World (3)
In the Black Eagle Forest, auspicious light and auspicious mist fill the sky.
Yellow-turbaned warriors walked around the sky, and countless officers in golden armor guarded the flag gates. Many sacred-looking gods, such as the Heavenly King and the True Lord, sat cross-legged on the auspicious clouds, and their eyes occasionally opened and closed, and divine light shone all over the sky, with a terrifying aura.
In the distance, various puppets from the Demon Puppet Sect attacked from time to time.
No matter whether it was the most common puppet forged from metal, or the relatively rare puppet made from rare birds and beasts, or the evil puppet made from the bodies of monks, as soon as they got closer to the Black Eagle Forest, the base of the Incense Taoist, all kinds of strange phenomena would appear in the void and completely destroy them.
There is a platform of heavenly punishment with five flashing .
There is a dragon-slaying platform with clanging chains.
There is a beheading platform with a dazzling golden sword.
There are also various strange phenomena such as the Zhuxian Formation, the Lushen Pavilion, the Rongxian Pool, etc., which are powerful and unstoppable.
The spiritual gods refined by the incense and fire sect have turned into a complete and huge system of gods and immortals, possessing their own internal laws. Countless spiritual gods of the incense and fire sect gathered together can almost isolate an independent world, and have the power of nearly 70% to 80% of the realm of heaven and man.
Therefore, the puppets used by the Demon Puppet Sect for attack will die if they are touched or touched.
Further away, dozens of huge metal war fortresses were suspended in the air. Many monks from the Demon Puppet Sect were floating near the war fortresses, gazing at the battle formation of the Incense Road with deep eyes.
To be honest, the demon puppets prefer sects like the Barbarian King Palace that use muscle lumps to win and violence to fight. Their puppets also mostly follow this path. However, the magic of the Incense Sect is too mysterious. It is not as powerful as the former Miro Sect, but it is unpredictable and has more tricks.
These puppets are not afraid of head-on fighting, but are afraid of all kinds of tricks.
The Incense Sect, in terms of inheritance, was already slightly stronger than the Demon Puppet Sect. Therefore, in this battle, the Demon Puppet Sect did not have the upper hand. Instead, in a short period of time, the Incense Sect occupied a large area of territory and slaughtered countless disciples!
The incense sect was extremely ruthless.
Under the slogan of revenge for the Taoist master's beloved son, they slaughtered anyone who had a connection with the Demon Puppet Sect, such as the royal family, civil and military ministers, and aristocratic families of the secular immortal dynasty. Even ordinary civilians were violently punished by them. After many cities were captured, the Incense Sect directly executed the "one out of ten" massacre order.
However, as long as these people set up an altar at home and choose a deity from the incense and fire sect to worship and offer sacrifices to, not only will they not be punished, but they will also receive a large amount of daily necessities from the incense and fire sect, and even financial rewards!
Anyway, the emperor, his ministers, and the aristocratic families were all killed, and countless wealth was confiscated. All the wool came from the sheep, and it wouldn't cost even a copper penny to reward these secular people.
Most of the people are ignorant and stupid. Faced with the big stick and sweet dates offered by the incense and worship sect, countless people choose the sweet dates.
Therefore, within a short period of time, Lu Yi and others captured cities and territories behind the Xianghuo Dao, and they replenished the Xianghuo Dao forces that had been weakened with great difficulty on the territory of the Mokuei Sect, and even had a surplus!
The battle against the Demon Puppet Sect became increasingly difficult .
However, inside the Black Eagle Forest, the higher-ups of the Incense Sect also had gloomy expressions on their faces.
This battle cannot be fought any longer.
Behind them, the army of the Nine Phoenix Immortal Dynasty invaded, plundered the courtyards and destroyed countless altars. Fortunately, the Nine Phoenix Immortal Dynasty had limited military strength, and even if they had brought with them countless independent and wild cultivators, their threat to the Incense Dao was limited.
But the Jiufeng Immortal Dynasty is, after all, under the jurisdiction of Jianmen. Was the Jiufeng Immortal Dynasty's attack the Jiufeng Immortal Dynasty's own idea, or did Jianmen intervene?
Before figuring out Jianmen's intentions, it is understandable that the top leaders of Xianghuo Dao were nervous.
The attack on the Demon Puppet Sect was originally going smoothly. However, in the past few days, six of the Supreme Elders of the Incense Sect led a team to attack the Demon Puppet Sect from other routes. All six of the Supreme Elders who were at the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm were violently killed!
The people who made the move had unfathomable cultivation and treacherous methods. The six supreme elders were all protected by a large army and were surrounded by a large formation. Yet, it was under such circumstances that the six supreme elders were sniped and killed, while none of their trusted disciples, bodyguards, and servants discovered how they were killed or who did it!
The six divisions suddenly lost their leader, and the Demon Puppet Sect took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack. The six divisions suffered heavy losses and were defeated one day ago and fled back to the territory of the Incense Sect. The large group of the Demon Puppet Sect followed closely and also chased into the territory of the Incense Sect.
This is very difficult to do.
Lu Yi killed a Grand Elder, and here we lost another one. On the surface, there were only 23 Grand Elders of the Half-step Heaven Realm in the Xianghuo Dao, and this killed almost one-third of them!
The leader of the Incense Sect has already issued an urgent order to awaken several old antiques who are in seclusion and practicing hard in their own mountain gate, as well as the supreme elders who have been hiding in various places in Yuanlingtian for many years to secretly recruit vassals and guard strongholds for the Incense Sect.
There are only eleven old antiques who practice in seclusion and supreme elders who act in secret.
Even if all of them were transferred to the Black Eagle Forest, they would not be able to deal with the invasion of the Nine Phoenix Immortal Dynasty, the Demon Puppet Sect, and that unknown enemy.
"We can't stop the revenge on the Demon Puppet Sect." The Taoist Master of Incense roared with red eyes, "My son's revenge must be avenged. Especially today, we have already invaded the Demon Puppet Sect. If we want to stop, will the Demon Puppet Sect agree?"
The Xianghuo Sect lost seven supreme elders, while the Mokuei Sect did not lose a single leading figure.
To this day, just as the Taoist master Xianghuo said, it is not easy for them to stop the war just because they want to.
The other elders of the Xianghuo Dao might still want to make peace, but the Master of the Xianghuo Dao has even used up all his own savings to launch this war of revenge... If there is a real ceasefire, not to mention how much the Xianghuo Dao will have to pay, he, the Master of the Xianghuo Dao, will definitely go bankrupt!
"Then, perhaps, we can only ask for external help." A great elder who was on good terms with the Xianghuo Dao master sighed, "Give out a portion of the Demon Puppet Sect's territory and interests... The Demon Calculation Sect and my Xianghuo Dao have always had a good relationship. The Demon Calculation Sect also borders the Demon Puppet Sect. Over the years, the two families have been in constant conflict, but we can still persuade them!"
The eyes of the Grand Elder flickered as he said softly, "In recent years, Yuanlingtian has been in chaos, but the Demonic Sect has been the most cautious in protecting itself. They have had some small grudges with other sects, but the hatred is not great. Therefore, the Demonic Sect is one of the only sects that has not been caught up in this melee. Their strength is well preserved."
The Taoist master Xiang Huo immediately made the decision: "Then, we will ask the Demon Calculation Sect to help. Tell them that we will join forces to capture the Demon Puppet Sect and give them 30% of the Demon Puppet Sect's territory."
Just as the Taoist Master Xianghuo and a group of supreme elders made their decision, to the north of the Demon Puppet Sect, across a chaotic land spanning hundreds of millions of miles, in the mountain gate of the Demon Calculation Sect, in the Patriarch's Hall, a small blue-black bell suddenly made a loud "humming" sound, shaking the entire Demon Calculation Sect.
In the various caves of the Demonic Calculation Sect, the experienced old foxes took out various divination instruments and started to use them.
After a long period of divination, 80% of the old foxes predicted "great luck" and the remaining 20% predicted "little luck".
The two most powerful elders could even figure out about 70% of where the "Ji" came from.
A voice came from the secret retreat behind the Demonic Sect's ancestor's hall: "It's a good thing, but our disciples are not good at fighting, so we have to be careful and cautious in this operation."
Another voice came from another cave: "Over the years, I have had enough of the Demon Puppet Sect's sulking. How many times have disciples been robbed, mocked, and beaten for no reason by them when they were out and about? Especially the disciples who were robbed. It's okay to rob them of their money, but how many disciples have been eaten by them without any discrimination... cough cough!"
The voice said faintly, "Our disciples are indeed not good at fighting. But when it comes to planning and controlling military strategies, our disciples are good at it. We also have a lot of experience in other formations, talismans, etc., and when combined with the incense and fire arts, they can also increase our combat power."
Another voice came from afar: "In this case, first prepare a 'Life-Slaying Calamity Formation'. When the distinguished guest arrives, gather the power of the entire sect in front of him and cut off 30 % of the fate of the Demon Puppet Sect."
From all directions, dozens of voices rang out at the same time: "Good!"
The people of the Demon Calculation Sect were indeed not good at fighting and killing, so they seemed weak. But the Demon Calculation Sect was best at saving lives! The master monks in the sect were as slippery as loaches, and were best at peeping into the secrets of heaven and preserving lives.
The Demonic Calculation Sect claimed that there were only twenty-one elders in the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm, but in fact there were more than sixty!
This number even exceeds that of Jianmen!
But what about the elders of the Demonic Sect... From other sects, any elder in the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm could easily beat up two or three of them if they came out and challenged them head-on.
If the number is a little bigger, it will look scary and will be of no use.
There is a small teleportation array connecting the Xianghuo Sect and the Mosuan Sect. Whenever the top leaders of the two sects want to communicate, they use this small teleportation array.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the ancestral bell in the Demonic Calculation Sect's ancestral hall sounded the warning, two supreme elders of the Incense Sect arrived with a large number of gifts. The Demonic Calculation Sect's high-level officials also welcomed them into their own ancestral hall.
After some negotiations, both sides were happy with the result.
The Demonic Calculation Sect was honest that their disciples were not well-trained enough, and they could not defend such a large territory. Therefore, the Incense Dao offered the Demonic Puppet Sect 30% of the territory as a reward. They offered to take only 20% of the territory, but they wanted to take more of the Demonic Puppet Sect's floating wealth!
The Xianghuo Dao does not have much demand for the cultivation resources needed by serious cultivators. What they want is territory and people. The bigger the territory, the better, and the more people, the better.
So the two sides hit it off immediately.
Three days later, in the forbidden area at the back mountain of the Demonic Calculation Sect, a life-killing calamity formation was quietly activated, instantly burning top-grade spirit crystals as large as dozens of mountains, disrupting Yuan Lingtian's destiny.
After the formation was activated, countless furnaces for casting magic puppets inexplicably exploded inside the Demon Puppet Sect. The rapidly depleted supply of magic puppets on the front line suddenly had a huge gap. The Xianghuo Sect took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack, forcing the Demon Puppet Sect's supreme elders to take action personally and stabilize the occupation.
The battles between the two parties suddenly became intense.
