Chapter 216 News From the Demon Sect (1/2)
Feng Tianzong was also looking at Wang Mingyuan. He also wanted to know what Wang Mingyuan would do?
"You want to know, and I also want to know what mistakes these people made." Wang Mingyuan thought in his heart, but he couldn't say that.
"Among these people, there are not only your family's descendants, but also some of my family's descendants. What exactly they did, I can't tell you now, you will know soon.
What exactly they did, you'd better go back and check yourself. This is only the first batch, but it will definitely not be the last batch.
It's impossible to let them go. Instead of wasting time here, you might as well go and see if what these people did will implicate you." Wang Mingyuan said seriously.
Wang Mingyuan's words can scare many people. At that time, Wang Mingyuan's relatives, as well as the relatives of the two concubines Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing, were directly demoted to pariahs. The only one who can attack so many people at once is the emperor Feng Tianzong.
Smart people understand at a glance, and Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing reacted quickly. It should be Feng Tianzong who made the move. No matter what the reason is, it is not appropriate for the two of them to get involved.
A group of officials who were asked to come and plead for mercy found excuses to leave.
Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing looked at each other, then stopped and left.
Then there was a big search. Not only was Wang Mingyuan, the prime minister, investigating, but also the relatives of those who were arrested. They were afraid of being implicated by these people.
The punishment of being demoted to a pariah was too severe, enough to attract everyone's attention. What if I did nothing and was implicated by a few rubbish relatives?
No matter who sent people to investigate, the information these people got was all mastered by the National Destiny Bird. It can be said that within the scope of the city defense formation, there is no secret for the National Destiny Bird.
There is no such thing as heaven knows, earth knows, you know and I know. Within this scope, the National Destiny Bird is the sky, the earth, and controls the light.
After such an investigation, it is not just those who do not identify with Da Shang. Since Feng Tianzong unified the northern border, the national strength has been developing, but for so many years, there are actually many private matters hidden in the dark.
With so many officials sending people to investigate, many of the dirty things in the past ten years have been turned out. After finding out these dark things, some people chose to conceal, some chose to report, and some chose to kill their relatives for the greater good.
However, Feng Tianzong saw all of this. Who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor? Among them, Feng Tianzong saw it clearly through the national destiny bird.
However, the two concubines, Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing, did not disappoint Feng Tianzong in this matter, and did not choose to cover up those who made mistakes. After all, their clansmen were dealt with at the beginning. Compared with those relatives and clansmen who were dealt with, these people who were dealt with were actually nothing.
After Wang Mingyuan found out some things, he did not choose to conceal them. He had long been in awe of Feng Tianzong's magical powers and dared not conceal them.
Feng Tianzong is preparing a second list at this moment. It is not only about the criminals, but also about those who choose to cover up, and those who know but choose to pretend not to see. In Feng Tianzong's view, these officials who pretend not to see are dereliction of duty.
The second list is much longer than the first list. Among them, there are more officials with more selfishness. The speed of recording the jade slip is very fast.
Feng Tianzong directly passed the jade slip to Wang Mingyuan.
A storm soon arose in the court. Before, Feng Tianzong had been committed to developing national strength, so that the people could live a life of full food and warm clothing, so as to develop more population.
The hidden rats in the court have not been cleaned up for ten years. Now it is just the right opportunity to clean up the court thoroughly. It is also good for the national strength of Da Shang to go further.
National strength is not only the people's heart, but also the strength of a country. The army is the most direct hard power, and other aspects are soft power. Da Shang will definitely go to a higher level without these rats.
With Feng Tianzong suppressing the Great Shang, even if there is some temporary chaos in the court, it is just some minor problems and will not cause a big mess.
This batch not only caught a group of rats in the court, but also a group of spies sent by various parties, including those sent by the Great Xia Dynasty. There are also some sent by other rebel kings.
It is a bit incredible to say that it feels that immortal cultivators should have more hidden and powerful means to obtain intelligence. It's just a pity that they don't.
At present, Feng Tianzong knows that his magical eye of exploration is the most powerful means of exploration, but it can only explore 300 miles. Later, his strength was promoted to the middle stage of the golden elixir, and his spiritual consciousness improved greatly. Now it can only explore 500 miles.
There are still many places that cannot be detected, such as places isolated by formations and places shielded by some special treasures.
Feng Tianzong also asked Tai Shi Mingzhen for advice. The Five Elements Sect where Tai Shi Mingzhen came from is a sect of magic cultivation, and it is also a sect that studies magic and magical powers more. The detection abilities of their sect were all low-level abilities, and the distance was not as far as Feng Tianzong's detection eyes could see.
Therefore, even if you are an immortal cultivator, if you want to get news from afar, you still need to send spies. The method of cultivating immortals is just to add some more means of transmitting messages, so that the spies can quickly transmit the detected messages back.
Nowadays, Dashang has sent many spies to get information from the Daxia Dynasty. It may not necessarily be confidential information, but some public information is enough.
The most basic thing is that he also needs to know where the rebellion occurred and where the imperial court sent troops to conquer. There is also how the forces developed in those anti-king territories. These are some basic information, but Feng Tianzong also needs to know.
After such a cleanup, Feng Tianzong believed that it would be difficult for other forces to obtain news from Dashang in the future. Cleaning up some internal rats is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
However, this time the internal cleanup allowed Feng Tianzong to get an important piece of news, that is, the news about Jin Jinyun's father, Jin Hongzhi.
Jin Hongzhi originally agreed to bring Jiemen Pass and a hundred thousand elite troops to surrender, and Feng Tianzong believed him. However, Jin Hongzhi never returned, and there was no news from him again. Feng Tianzong was delayed in a lot of things, and at least he collected a lot of less taxes. This made him a big enemy.
Then from the mouth of Wan Hongcheng, a veteran, he got the news that there was actually a hidden force in Northern Xinjiang. It was also the man behind the scenes who instigated the Hu people to go south and plunder.
These accounts one after another are all remembered in Feng Tianzong's mind. However, after Feng Tianzong unified Northern Xinjiang and married the Five Elements Sect, that force disappeared without a trace, and there was no news about it again.
Feng Tianzong thought it was a force that wanted to fight for the dragon, and also took a fancy to the territory of Northern Xinjiang, so it came to cause trouble for him. After he unified northern Xinjiang, the group saw no opportunity, so they changed their territory to participate in the dragon fight.
I didn't expect that it was not the same thing at all. This time Feng Tianzong caught a spy and told them that their family served an immortal master, and the immortal master taught them some spells.
At the beginning, there were people in his family who led the way for the Hu people to go south. That's why these spells were taught. This news instantly made Feng Tianzong alert.
This spy is not an immortal cultivator at all, nor does he have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, but this person is really able to cast some small spells. Although they are not very powerful, he does cast spells.
Even though it was not very powerful and could cast spells, it had already broken the iron laws of the world of immortality, which surprised Feng Tianzong. Feng Tianzong actually did a lot of searching for information among the sect. Most of the people in his harem were mortals. It was not that he had never thought about making the beauties in his harem live longer. But no information was found.
But now this spy obviously has no qualifications for cultivating immortals and has no mana fluctuations on his body, but he is able to cast spells. It surprised him very much.
Through the spies' spells, Feng Tianzong learned that in order for ordinary people to cast spells, many materials need to be used. The most important material is the human soul, which absorbs the essence of other people's souls and enhances one's own spiritual power. Use powerful spiritual power to mobilize the aura of heaven and earth to cast spells.
Many of their spells also require the use of blood.
Blood and soul, Feng Tianzong reacted fiercely - Demon Sect! No wonder the Puppet Sect, which has been passed down for a long time, has no way for mortals to practice, and there is no news at all in the entire world of immortal cultivation. It turned out to be the method of the Demon Sect, which was banned by all the sects in the entire world of cultivating immortals.
There is no need to consult Taishi Mingzhen. In Feng Tianzong's memory, the first thing he did after entering the sect was the news about the Demon Sect. Master also told him about it at the beginning. However, at the beginning, among the masters, there was no mention that the Demon Sect could allow ordinary people to become immortal cultivators. He just talked about the cruelty and indiscriminate killing of innocent people by the Demon Sect.
Why are immortal cultivators not allowed to kill mortals? The protection of mortals is one aspect. After all, immortal cultivators also come from the common world. But a more important reason is to prevent people from the Demon Sect.
Yes, there are demon sects in the world of cultivating immortals, and it’s not just the differences in cultivation concepts. It’s about the difference in the path of cultivation.
The Demon Sect is a path to immortality that uses killing to increase cultivation, and is the public enemy of all monks. Not just monks, but the public enemy of all living things. Not only do humans hate ghosts, but even monsters also deeply hate these demon sect monks.
However, the people of the Demon Sect are good at hiding, and they like to hide among the common people. Because their cultivation does not have high demand for spiritual energy, but more demand for the souls and blood of mortals.
The world is the most suitable place for demon cultivators to grow. These demon cultivators have no mana fluctuations on their bodies. Even if they are detected with spiritual consciousness, they cannot be found to be immortal cultivators.
But they do have the means of immortal cultivators, and the power of their magical powers is not weak, or even more powerful. Although they are heretical, there is no denying the power of these demonic cultivators.
From this spy, Feng Tianzong could see how amazing the secret methods of the demon cultivator were. Feng Tianzong, who was in the golden elixir stage, did not realize that this spy was an immortal cultivator.
It was when he revealed his magic and wanted to escape that he was discovered by Guoyun Xuanniao and was finally caught.
There are many legends about demon cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, but most of the legends about these demon cultivators are about their wanton killing methods. Therefore, in the mortal world, once a cultivator slaughters mortals on a large scale, it will attract the collective encirclement and suppression of the immortal world.
It is said that the reason why the mortal world is separated from the world of immortal cultivation by a large formation is also related to the people of the Demon Sect. This large formation is to restrict the development of the Demon Sect.
To prevent the emergence of cultivators with a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul in the Demon Sect.
The immortal world has been passed down for countless years, and it has experienced countless catastrophes, but most of the reasons are different. Among them, several catastrophes were caused by the Demon Sect.
But unfortunately, several catastrophes could not completely eliminate the Demon Sect.
Thinking of the Demon Sect, Feng Tianzong instantly became alert. So far, although he has not encountered any disciples of the Demon Sect, he has heard many legends about the Demon Sect.
The disciples of any sect in the world of immortal cultivation have the same attitude towards the Demon Sect, and they will be beaten to death if they meet.
Feng Tianzong quickly sent a message to Tai Shi Mingzhen, telling her about the discovery of the Demon Sect. Tai Shi Mingzhen also attached great importance to it, and even sent the news back to the Five Elements Sect.
After all, everyone knew that this fight for the dragon was the beginning of the catastrophe. Since it involved the catastrophe and the traces of the Demon Sect were discovered, Tai Shi Mingzhen could not help but think of something.
"Husband, the matter of the Demon Sect is not a small matter. What do you think of this matter?" Tai Shi Mingzhen asked Feng Tianzong cautiously.
"It doesn't matter what I think. What's important is that the news has been cut off now. The family behind this person is in Daxia, and we can't go over to arrest him now. And I doubt that even if all his family members are arrested, the Demon Sect cultivator can't be found." Feng Tianzong said indifferently.
He just wanted to know whether the group of forces that had stabbed him several times in the back were done by these people from the Demon Sect. And whether his cheap father-in-law Jin Hongzhi was taken away by the people from the Demon Sect.
Although the life of his cheap father-in-law was not important to Feng Tianzong, he was determined to avenge the delay in his tax collection.
However, judging from the method of inciting the Hu people to go south and start a fight, it was very likely that it was the Demon Sect. But Feng Tianzong did not think about it that way at the beginning. Now thinking about it, it is very likely that it was the Demon Sect, almost certain.
