Chapter 50 Cicada!

Zhiliao is the common name for a summer insect called cicada. Every hot summer day, they will make the sound of "zhiliao" and "zhiliao", so they got such a vivid name.

But among the monks, Zhiliao does not represent any summer insects. He represents an organization that is almost all over the human world. This organization adheres to absolute neutrality. They do not participate in any fights. Their existence has only one purpose-to pass on information.

The origin and composition of this organization are unknown to the outside world. The only thing they know is that even the powerful Dayan Dynasty never interferes with the development and continuation of Zhiliao. Through Zhiliao, after paying a certain price, you can get all the information except the core secrets of the Dayan Dynasty and various sects. Its accuracy and effectiveness have been recognized by almost all monks over the long years.

In addition to paid information, Zhiliao also announces major events that have occurred in the human world recently to everyone on time and free of charge. This has further increased the popularity of Zhiliao. Not only monks, but even ordinary people know about Zhiliao. Through the information from Zhiliao, the monks can know whether these major events have an impact on themselves at the first time, and mortals can make timely decisions based on this information to avoid being "disasters caused by the fight between gods and mortals".

Just today, Zhiliao, who has not announced any major events for a long time, suddenly announced a major news - the change of the Five Goats Tomb.

According to Zhiliao's news, on the day when the Five Goats Tomb was opened, the Dayan Dynasty suddenly sent troops to encircle and suppress the monks who were searching for treasures in it. Regardless of whether they were good or evil, anyone who disobeyed would be killed without mercy. In order to ensure the complete encirclement and suppression, the Dayan Dynasty not only sent two generals, the Lion and Tiger, to lead 20,000 troops, but also sent eight marquises headed by Ning Lanhou and several earls to go together, and even arranged a small Tiangang Yulei Array outside the Five Goats Tomb, which was modified from the Tiangang Yulei Array of the Dayan National Defense Array.

However, under such layers of siege, the monks of both good and evil were not completely wiped out under the leadership of several top masters who entered the tomb to search for treasures, and nearly 20% escaped.

After this battle, due to the existence of a mysterious peerless strongman whose name is unknown, the two generals Lion and Tiger, as well as many masters such as Ning Lanhou, were seriously injured. The tiger general has not woken up yet because of his serious injuries. When the Cangming Saint sent by Dayan to take charge, he was defeated by the mysterious strongman alone. After being seriously injured by him, he fled back to Dayan, but died because of his serious injuries.

When this news came out, the world was shocked and countless cultivators were terrified. On the one hand, they secretly thanked themselves for not going to explore treasures for various reasons. On the other hand, they secretly guessed that Dayan’s actions this time, is it going to go to war with all the sects?

In addition, the cultivators were secretly terrified by the mysterious strongman in the news. If the serious injuries of the lion generals may be caused by the mysterious strongman’s help from others during the chaos, then the fall of the Cangming Saint revealed the unparalleled power of the mysterious strongman.

Who is the Cangming Saint? That was one of the few old monsters in Dayan who had passed the Tribulation Period. He was only one step away from ascending to become an immortal. Even in the human world, he was already half an immortal. Such a top figure was seriously injured and killed by the mysterious strong man. So what was the cultivation level of the mysterious strong man? Could it be that he had already become an immortal, but had not yet ascended?

In the undercurrent, the cultivators from all sides kept a low profile and began to quietly return to their sects. They didn't know why Dayan wanted to surround and kill all the cultivators, and their attitude was so resolute, with a posture of not leaving any alive. They didn't know what attitude their sects would have after knowing about this matter, and whether they would unite to go to war with Dayan.

Just when many cultivators felt that the various sects were going to come forward to express their opinions, they were shocked to find that whether it was the sects whose disciples were killed or the Dayan Dynasty, they were all strangely silent, without any reaction, as if they had not heard the news, and even more as if the news was false news, and the things mentioned in it had never happened at all.

Just when everyone was confused, the monks who managed to escape returned to their sects and reported the situation to their leaders. Seeing the gloomy faces of the leaders without any expression, they were also stunned, and then fell silent, deeply silent.

After telling the story of Mangshan Sword Sect, Feng Qingshan withdrew at the signal of the leader of Mangshan Sword Sect. When he walked to the door, Feng Qingshan remembered the expressionless face of the leader just now, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

During this trip to Wuyang Tomb, several of his friends died. Among the five brothers who went with him, only one brother came back alive with him, and the remaining two brothers and two sisters stayed there forever.

Feng Qingshan hated it very much. He wanted to kill into the Dayan Palace alone with a sword and ask for justice from the old emperor of Dayan, but he knew he couldn't. Even if he could, his sect would not allow it.

He couldn't help but recall what the Lion General had said: "Do you think your master, your master, will go to war with my Dayan Dynasty because of a few of you? Do you think that even if they go to war, they can defeat our Dayan Dynasty's army?"

Thinking back to what the Lion General said, although he was helpless, Feng Qingshan had to admit that the Lion General was right.

"It's like mowing the grass." In Baisheng Pavilion, a Pavilion Master said to Jiang Sheng next to him: "In Dayan's eyes, we are like the weeds in their backyard, competing for the nutrients of the soil with the flowers and plants they planted themselves. Since we are weeds, they have no value in their eyes, so we have to clean them up from time to time."

After drinking a sip of hot tea, the Pavilion Master continued: "However, Dayan only cuts the grass stems and does not touch the grass roots. As long as they do not exceed their limit, then there will be no trouble. And as long as the grass roots are still there, even if some of the stems and leaves are damaged, it is tolerable. After all, wildfires cannot burn them all, and spring breezes will bring them back to life."

"But why doesn't Dayan just pull out the grass roots and eliminate the trouble forever?" A disciple who escaped from the Five Sheep Tomb in Yutong Temple, Taihe Mountain, asked in confusion after hearing the explanation of the temple master.

The temple master sighed slightly and said: "How much strength does it take to pinch off a grass, and how much strength does it take to pull it out by the roots?"

Looking at the thoughtful disciple in front of him, the temple master shook his head slightly. If this person was not his beloved disciple, and he had always cultivated him as the future master of the temple, then he would never tell him these words.

After a short pause, the master of Yutong Temple continued, "Think about it again, how much strength is needed to pull out a grass with its roots, and how much strength is needed to pull out a piece of grass together? Dayan knows very well that if they force us into a corner, unite and fight to the death, then even if they win, they will be injured and even have internal strife."

Looking at the disciples with panic-stricken faces, the master of Yutong Temple sighed again and said with a slightly helpless voice: "Dayan kept us, firstly to find an external enemy for themselves, so that they can push their fists outward and control the internal strife; secondly, to keep us for their own army to train and maintain their army's vigorous combat effectiveness. And we, because we are weak, also need Dayan's free-range to survive."

"This is the unspoken rule between us and Dayan." The master of Baisheng Pavilion finally said, blowing gently on the tea roots floating on the water.

Jiang Sheng, who was standing next to him, listened with disdain: "So, the righteous path is hypocrisy! Those who shout and kill us all day long, when they really meet a tough guy, aren't they just a bunch of weeds and a piece of leeks?"

The Pavilion Master laughed and nodded in approval.

In the human world, in many sects, the leaders of a sect are having similar conversations with their beloved disciples or successors, so that the future of these sects can clearly understand what is reality. After hearing these statements, most of these young people are filled with gloom in their hearts, and even a little unacceptable.

Looking at these young people who seem to have matured and even experienced vicissitudes in an instant, these older generations are a little sad and helpless. But there is no way, the sect will be handed over to these young people sooner or later. If they want them to continue the sect, they must let them recognize the reality.

Whether they accept it or not, this is reality.

In the repeated struggles of these young people, outside the western part of Dayan, Taixu Palace of Tianmen Mountain, welcomed a pair of dusty people this day. Almost all of them were injured, and the deep fatigue showed on their faces.

The sect protection formation was opened to welcome them in. Before the disciples who were guiding them could say thank you for your hard work, one of the leading beautiful women hurriedly said to the disciples:

"Notify Master Lu immediately and tell him that Elder Mu Xueqing of Feixue Peak wants to see the Supreme Elder Zheng Yi, the Taoist of Baijie. This is a matter of life and death, it is extremely urgent!"

The two guiding disciples were stunned when they heard the words, and their faces became serious in an instant after they reacted. One of them clasped his fists, turned around and ran away without saying much.

At the entrance of Taixu Palace, Xueqing, who was running all the way back, couldn't help but sway slightly, and a feeling of dizziness came to her heart.

Gritting her teeth and shaking her head vigorously, Xueqing knew that although she was very tired, she must not fall down. Li Chuyi was still waiting for her to find a way to save him.

Looking back at the sky in the distance, Xueqing prayed in her heart.

"Chuyi, if you are still alive, you must hold on!"
