Chapter 1500: A Sword Already Stunning
The city where Lingkong Temple is located is called Fengtai.
It is one of the largest cities in Chengguo.
There are two worlds here, black and white. In the night world, the rapidly expanding Wusheng Sect and Lingkong Temple are competing against each other.
One has fanatical believers and is fearless, while the other has been operating for many years and is deeply rooted.
On the surface, the City Lord's Mansion is of course the highest authority here.
Even the Chengguo court sent a cultivator of the Outer Building Realm to take up the post here in order to suppress the further expansion of the sect's power.
In the neighboring Zhuangguo, whose national strength is booming, the threshold for serving as the city lord of various places is only the inner mansion realm.
But Chengguo has its own national conditions after all.
On the one hand, these sects provide a lot of tax revenue for the country, and on the other hand, they are also part of the national strength. When war breaks out, they have the obligation to participate in the war.
So how to grasp the scale of suppression is a matter of great political level.
Wusheng Sect and Lingkong Temple also need to let the Chengguo court know that they are within the limit and there will be no risk of crossing the line.
As one of the 72 Earthly Evil Envoys of the Wusheng Religion, he was ordered to develop the religious backbone of the believers of Chengguo.
The Earthly Evoy is a being with five perfect palaces and supernatural powers. It can be said that he has single-handedly suppressed the Lingkong Temple. If it weren't for the city lord surnamed Li who took sides, the Lingkong Temple would have been driven out of here long ago.
However, it is only a matter of time.
The Wusheng Religion behind him already has the power to destroy the country. He is boiling a frog in warm water here, just to implement the will of the Lord God, keep a low profile for the time being, and don't want to tear his face with the Chengguo court.
Although the Wusheng Religion is great, it is not the time to go out into the sun. The world is ignorant, and the truth cannot be obtained in one day.
At this moment, he sits alone in the secret room, facing the shrine, reciting the "Wusheng Sutra".
In this pale shrine, there is a wooden statue of a god sitting cross-legged and without a face.
There are three white candles on each side of the shrine, arranged from high to low, corresponding neatly.
There is no sandalwood to worship the god.
I don't know what the white candle is made of, but it just burns quietly without any candle tears. The candle flame leaps in the air, but there is a faint fragrance floating.
Perhaps this is the incense and fire of the Wusheng Sect.
Rather than offering, it is more like condolences.
"I have been in the sea of suffering since I came here, floating and sinking in a skin bag. All those who have six defeats and seven lives are suffering sentient beings. Those who have three sorrows and eight sufferings are innocent people. The common people pity me, and I pity the common people..."
The evil chanting sound was thin and dense, and it lasted for a long time before it stopped.
The two rows of white candles also went out automatically.
At the same time when the candles went out, a tall figure appeared in the secret room, and the timing was just right. He slapped the Diyou messenger who had not yet stood up!
Like a mountain and a sea, the pressure of life and death can be seen immediately!
The Earthly Envoy had no time to react at this time. He just raised his head suddenly, and his dark eyes turned white instantly. In that chilling pale color, it seemed that an unknown world had opened up. The surging power poured back and surged in this body. In a ten-thousandth of a second, he caught the vitality and rushed forward -
No rush!
A tsunami was set off in his Tongtian Sea, and his blood, muscles, bones... The whole person was imprisoned by the breeze of various shapes.
Bang!
The tall figure slapped down with a palm, and directly smashed the head of the Earthly Envoy!
Black, white, and red, mixed into one.
The body collapsed to the ground.
The two rows of white candles standing in front of the pale shrine rekindled almost at the same time.
Two drops of blood came out of the faceless weird statue where the eyes should be.
An evil breath descended!
The tall figure was completely fearless, stepped forward, holding the hammer in both hands, and fell like smashing a mountain!
The energy of the five elements circulated around his arms, and the power of the outer building level poured out without reservation.
Two rows of white candles went out at the same time.
Crack!
The statue was torn into pieces.
Fragments all over the ground.
The tall figure turned around without even looking at it, pushed the door and walked out of the secret room.
He turned left and right calmly in this station, ignoring the patrolling believers, walked out of the house, walked into the yard, and jumped lightly onto the roof.
His figure shrank rapidly in the air and turned into a yellow talisman, which was clamped by two slender fingers.
Jiang Wang, who was wearing a cloak and a linen robe and sitting on the roof, took a quiet look at the yellow talisman and was very satisfied with its performance. He held the yellow paper and shook it lightly, and put it away.
It is worthy of being a product of the fairy palace that once dominated an era!
It is worth it for Jiang to fight and kill demons in the Broken Soul Gorge and risk his life to dig jade in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
This fairy palace warrior is really useful!
With his remote cooperation of the Dragon and Tiger Technique, the Earthly Envoy didn't even have a chance to resist.
And with the Immortal Palace Warrior, even if the Wusheng Sect had some special means, Zhang Linchuan couldn't trace him.
As strong as the fortune-teller, he couldn't tell the fortune of the Immortal Palace. What about Zhang Linchuan?
The Immortal Palace Warrior didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just killed people when he appeared, and left after killing them, which was also to cut off the clues.
But then again...
The so-called "magic power" of the Earthly Envoy finally made Jiang Wang see the clues.
If the guess is true, it's all related to Zhang Linchuan...
It's not incredible that the 72 Earthly Envoys all have "magic powers".
The Wusheng Sect may be more powerful than imagined.
Under no awareness of the world, a terrifying monster has been born in the dark night.
On such a night, Jiang Wang sat silently on the roof, quietly observing the Wushengjiao station.
Behind him was a bright moon.
The moonlight poured into the night.
Not long after, the open door was seen by the patrol, and the Diyou messenger who died tragically in the secret room was discovered.
This is the leader of Chengguo Wushengjiao. In the hearts of all the believers here, he is a great existence who represents the will of the gods! And he is powerful and invincible.
But he died silently.
The death was extremely miserable.
Alarms, shouts, the movement of the magic circle...
The entire Wushengjiao station was in chaos, with people constantly rushing in and out, and the messy lights made the place bright.
But Jiang Wang, who was sitting on the roof, was not noticed by anyone.
In his right hand, he held a book called Shi Dao Zao Hai, which he had read while waiting. In his left hand, he held the Huo Dou Seal, and the whole person was covered by a layer of dim light.
The moonlight flowed through him and also through him.
The Bifang Seal focuses on "method". Under the guidance of the old man Huai Guogong, Jiang Wang used it to further condense the magical power of Samadhi True Fire.
The Huo Dou Seal is used for "hiding". It can hide itself inside and contain the enemy outside. It is indeed a supreme method.
Jiang Wang's hiding skills have always been very ordinary, all thanks to the hidden clothes made by the little fan mother-in-law. Now that he has mastered the Huo Dou Seal, it can be regarded as a leap from a fish to a dragon, and the world is very different.
The Diyou envoy has been killed. The reason why Jiang Wang is still sitting here is, first, to find out whether there are any hidden strongmen in this station, and second, to see if there will be any people like the Wushengjiao Tiangang envoy coming to support.
But after observing for a long time, he only saw a swarm of bees and heard noisy ears.
It doesn't look like a force that can compete for the title of the strongest sect in Chengguo.
Without the Diyou envoy, they seem to have lost their eyes, nose, ears, and brains.
Jiang Wang can certainly judge from this -
Zhang Linchuan's construction of the Wusheng Sect is a one-way node control from top to bottom. The disadvantage of this is that the organizational strength is not cohesive enough. The strongholds scattered around are actually independent of each other.
But the advantage of this is that... any section can be cut off at any time. If any stronghold is wiped out, it will not be traced back to Zhang Linchuan.
This is also the concealment that this kind of left-wing force must have.
Otherwise, if you provoke a strong man at any time, you may be traced and wiped out.
And the disadvantages of this organizational structure, in fact, do not have much impact on the cult. If Zhang Linchuan is strong enough, he can use the power of "God" to communicate directly with every believer. By then, there will be all kinds of cohesion.
The Wusheng Sect can no longer develop so smoothly, otherwise Zhang Linchuan's power will expand too fast!
Now it seems that before the new Disha messenger arrives, the Wusheng Sect in Chengguo has nothing to worry about.
But Zhang Linchuan's roots hidden in the shadows still inevitably cast a shadow in Jiang Wang's heart.
Especially the "Wusheng Sutra" recited by the Diyou messenger in secret prayer.
Six defeats and seven lives, there are troubled sentient beings. Three sorrows and eight sufferings, innocent people. The common people pity me, I pity the common people...
He was not confused by the scriptures.
Even the classics of the sages could not shake his Tao heart now.
It's just... The most important thing in this realm of Wailou is the word "narrating the Tao".
Jiang Wang, who has already approached the highest level of Wailou, can fully judge what such a "Wusheng Sutra" means.
At this time, Jiang Wang completely understood why Wang Changji immediately exposed his strength and cleared all the Wusheng Sect strongholds in Jiaoguo as soon as he achieved the divine presence.
In addition to being a declaration of war...
It's really time and space!
Zhang Linchuan is definitely not a person who can only play tricks. He may be a hero in troubled times like Zhuang Chengqian.
After taking a last look at the chaotic Wushengjiao headquarters, Jiang Wang stood up and jumped, disappearing into the night.
…
…
A mysterious strong man came to Fengtai City, and killed the strongest Bai Na Taoist of Lingkong Palace and the Wushengjiao Diyou Envoy with one move.
Overnight, the two major sects that had been fighting for days stopped fighting.
It attracted the attention of the government and the public.
There are rumors that he is a national master secretly sent by the Chengguo court. In order to curb the expansion of the sect's power, he killed the source of chaos.
There are rumors that he is a supreme strong man who lives in seclusion in the local area. Seeing that the two forces are constantly fighting, making the people uneasy. He killed the strongest of both sides as a warning...
But these rumors, these stories that are talked about in the Chengguo cultivation world, can no longer be heard by Lord Jiang.
Since the meeting of the Yellow River, he has only compared himself with the top figures in the world, and even traced back history to verify the past and present. For example, the ordinary cultivators who were domineering in the unknown Cheng Kingdom were in a different world from him.
The peak of cultivation, every leap, is a completely different scenery.
Passing by by chance.
It's nothing more than walking in the world, a sword has already shocked the world.
…
…
Since the beginning of the Taoist calendar, the official road has flourished and the national system has prevailed.
As of today, 3,920 years, there are already many countries standing side by side, and the world is divided.
But outside the heroes and countries, there are still some powerful sects that span history and the world.
Inheriting the immortal Taoism is still proving the end of practice.
In the sense of space, officialdom has been at its peak. In the scale of time, it may not be eternal.
Time will verify the strength that is truly worthy of survival.
There is no other place in the world where so many powerful sects can coexist as in the Southern Territory.
From Blood River Sect and Jiange, to Longmen Academy, Mount Xumi, to Mugu Academy, Nandou Hall... they are all famous sects in the world.
There are certainly historical reasons for this, and it also explains the prosperity of the spiritual practice community in the Southern Region since ancient times.
There are many opinions about the location of Nandou Hall. It may be said that he was in the Wei State, or he was in the Li State, or he was in the Yue State, to name a few.
Because this sect is really mysterious. Unlike the sword pavilion, which uses peaks as swords and controls dangerous passes, let me ask the world's sword leader. It is not like Mugu Academy, which is located at the foot of Shushan, the holy land of Confucianism, and gathers the world's intellectuals and invites beautiful articles.
It's not like Longmen Academy looking at Guanhe Terrace in the distance, or like Blood River Zongyong Town's misfortunes.
Nandou Hall is more like Mount Sumeru, where the divine dragon sees its head but not its tail.
The reputation spreads far and wide, but the real work remains unclear.
But to say that he is a secluded person is not in line with the style of this sect.
After all, people like Lu Shuanghe, the Seven Killers, had a reputation gained from killing people in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The difference lies in...
Although Nandou Palace is one of the largest sects in the world, it does not recruit a wide range of disciples, but... is unusually free to follow one's wishes.
Si Ming, Tianliang, Tianji, Tiantong, Tianxiang, Qisha, whoever is in the mood of the six great masters will go to the world, and whoever they like will be brought back to the sect.
Basically they are passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, you can also accept a few more apprentices, and there seems to be no problem if you don't accept any apprentices.
In short, very willful.
Of course, the real location of Nandou Hall is not in any one of Wei, Li, Yue, and Song Dynasties, otherwise it would be a question of who is in charge.
Practitioners who have truly lived in the Southern Region will know that to the west of Li State, to the south of Wei State, and to the north of Mugu Academy...
There is a place called Duer Peak.
This location cannot be seen on any country's map.
But with this peak as the center, everything within a radius of a hundred miles is designated as a restricted area by surrounding forces.
In fact, this is just an entrance to the South Dou Hall.
This sect does not really have a presence in this world.
Of course, as the largest sect in the world, Nandou Palace also has many ancillary industries, has its own resource needs, and has relatively close relations with surrounding countries... However, the core of this sect has always been a few people.
It is the so-called Six Truths of the South Dou.
Under the blue sky and snowy clouds.
Between the deep valleys.
There is a clear stream that meanders by itself.
The water is so clear that you can see the bottom of the water, and you can see how the swimming fish pass through the aquatic plants.
There is a bluestone beside the stream.
Sitting on the stone was a man with white hair and a shawl.
He put his hands on his knees and let the breeze blow his hair without saying a word. His closed eyes were like two horizontal swords.
A very dull and silent sword.
At a certain moment, there was a slight change in this world.
It's like a wisp of wind passing over the floating leaves, like a drop of water soaked in the glimmer of light, like the distant call of geese coming one thousandth of a breath late... In short, they are all things that should not be noticed, even It's something that comes naturally.
The world is always changing.
But the man sitting cross-legged on the bluestone opened his eyes——
His sword is drawn.
