Chapter 1: The Beginning of a Runaway Journey

The shattered star cluster reappeared, and Wei Shi's pen was horizontally and vertically, skillful, and resourceful, and soon stabilized the forces of all parties on the earth, so that the seven families and eight sects, and many foreign evil sects, threw rats and taboos, and no one dared to act rashly for a while.

After all, now that the situation is unknown, there are many Heavenly Ranks in the hands of the Shattered Star Cluster, and the strength is there, and the gap between them is not a millimeter, if they don't take the initiative to attack, no one wants to rashly stir up the situation, for fear of getting into trouble and becoming the target of the public, and they will be infamous as a fool.

It's just that the world has moved and the situation has begun to change. If you sit back and wait for change, and only want to settle down, in the end you will just waste the opportunity and lose the opportunity to grasp the advantage. Therefore, it is clear that each family and faction do not move on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly striving for opportunities to find things or things that can enhance their own strength.

The reappearance of the Broken Star Cluster is undoubtedly the biggest variable in the current situation, if all the factions work together in the morning, taking advantage of the unstable situation of the Broken Star Cluster, and start a siege, it is not without the opportunity to eat this large piece of meat, but each family is timid, when the Wei Shibi disrupts the situation and rebalances, in the eyes of people, the Broken Star Cluster has long become a hard bone to gnaw, and now everyone can trade with each other, but they should not take the initiative to be the enemy, so as not to become a bird, and pick up cheap for others.

Don't dare to break the star cluster, but feel their threat, the major forces are peaceful on the surface, but secretly like ducks paddling water, always looking for opportunities in secret, even if they can't enhance their own strength, at least they can't let other forces reach into their homes, or take advantage of their own unpreparedness.

In this context, the new sects that have sprung up like mushrooms seem particularly annoying.

The Seven Families, the Eight Gates, and the Nine Outer Daos have long been demarcated among each other's power territories, and everyone abides by the conventions and rules, and there will be no conflict for this, but those emerging sects that are eager to develop and emerge are unscrupulous and perverse, and they often ignore the rules, in order to quickly grab the territory of power, and gain a foothold in this world where the strong are kings, they will use any means.

In the border mountainous areas of the three counties of Huju, Guiteng, and Yingyang, especially in the hard-hit areas of this kind of sect that rushes to condense the power of incense and will, there are not only many villages there, which are closed and conservative, and it is easy to gather people of the same clan and provide religious resources for these sects;

“...... Borrowing the power of the will to practice, is for the incense fire Shinto, the cultivation of the Shinto is much more efficient than ordinary meditation and qi, but there are also many disasters, I am afraid it is not not unreported, the time has not come. ”

A middle-aged master of the Sealing Sword Alliance explained to the younger generation in the team, "After the establishment of the new empire, the imperial court branded the incense fire Shinto as a heretic, strictly forbidden, and as long as it is found, it will be exterminated immediately...... Something like that would have been almost wiped out......"

The Sealing Sword Alliance cooperated with the imperial court to enforce the law, or to arrest bandits and thieves, or to exterminate cottages and cults, so the conquest to eliminate this sect has indeed been done a lot over the years, and the elders in the alliance have a clear grasp of these routines, but the new young disciples are a little confused.

"Seniors, why do we want to exterminate those people? It's not that we have freedom of belief, what do they believe, what does it matter to us? Why do we want to exterminate them all and leave no way back for those believers?"

"Hey, what you said is really childish, practice with the power of willingness, although the practitioner's skill progress is fast, it is extremely difficult to control, it is easy to become crazy, crazy, difficult to control ......"

The middle-aged master shook his head and said: "Once the desire power is out of control, the cultivators will turn into crazy demons, and these people will even be able to tear up and eat their own parents when they are crazy, and their human nature will be completely annihilated.

When the young disciples heard this, they were stunned and looked at each other, and everyone's hearts were throbbing, they didn't expect this kind of cultivation method to have such hidden dangers, and it was really evil, and the Sealing Sword Alliance held the righteousness of heaven and earth, so it was natural that they would not stand against these evil cults! It was naturally inevitable to eradicate those crazy ways of faith!

“...... No wonder, the alliance leader did not lead everyone to crusade against the Nine Outer Paths and avenge the headquarters, but immediately rushed to the mountains to eliminate those fanatical believers......"

A young disciple spoke out to everyone.

After the great disaster of the Sealing Knife Alliance, although the overall damage was very serious, but because the main combat power was with the alliance leader and the young alliance master, it was preserved, to put it shamefully, the Sealing Knife Alliance is now like a big tree that nourishes the new branches through the broken old leaves, after the old, weak and disabled are eliminated, the strength of the Sealing Knife Alliance is more sophisticated, and a gap, between recuperation, can become a towering tree. At this time when the general trend of the world is changing, it is time to pick out a few evil factions to establish their authority and stand firm in the changing situation. Previously, Situ Zhuren also vaguely revealed this idea, and the soldiers pointed to the Nine Outer Roads, wanting to extinguish the hatred of the headquarters with one snow.

However, after the Imperial City Incident, Situ Zhuren was injured at the hands of Kang Jinlong, and after returning, he suddenly changed the direction he had previously planned, no longer targeting the Nine Daos, but moving to the southwest, and eradicating the small sect where those fanatical believers belonged as soon as possible.

This is not a difficult task for the Fengdao Alliance, those new small sects have been established for a short time, most of them are just some villages, collectively believe in their own leaders, worship them as gods, and hastily set them up, the general scale is about a few hundred to thousands of people, and the believers are their own villagers. Although they are connected by blood, loyal and credible, after all, their strength is limited, even if they fight bravely, but they have no scale and planning, how can they be the elite opponents of the Sealing Sword Alliance?

For this reason, the more than 10 consecutive battles between the Sealing Knife Alliance and these believers and villagers are actually not serious battles, they are simply unilateral slaughters, and the soldiers of the Sealing Knife Alliance feel impatient and bored with this kind of battle that always swatts flies with big knives, but their own skills are used to deal with these small people, how can it be unacceptable! There are many rumors spreading in the Sealing Knife Alliance, but I don't know that there are such things among them

As soon as he spoke, a group of men and horses not far away quickly approached the place where they were stationed, the leader was dressed in simple gray clothes, with a treasure knife at his waist, it was Situ Zhiren, the master of the Sealing Sword Alliance.

As soon as they saw the alliance leader coming, the warriors who were originally sitting in the forest to trim got up one after another and bowed down to salute the alliance leader. Situ Zhuren has always had prestige in the Fengdao Alliance, even if he lost several battles, and his leadership image has been hit recently, but the prestige accumulated over the years has made him still deeply respected in the alliance, especially the swordsmen of these actual combat troops, basically the children and soldiers he brought up, from the original hairy boy to the current strength of the general, they are inseparable from his training, and everyone's love and respect for him as an old commander is even more than Situ ignores.

"Everyone's done a great job,"

Situ Yuren bowed his hand to the hundreds of soldiers present, and bowed deeply, although he was the leader of the alliance, he was in a high position, and he controlled the power of the Sealing Sword Alliance, but he never put on a show, and he was close to the people and won the hearts of the people.

"Exterminating the emerging cult, although the danger is not high, but the swords and swords on the battlefield are inevitably variable, please be careful, you are all the heroes of my Sealed Sword Alliance, I don't want to lose any of you!"

Before and after every battle, Situ Xue would personally speak to the soldiers, but unlike other people's coercion on his subordinates, it was not the kind of unilateral lecture from above, but walked among them, listened to their thoughts, listened to their opinions, relieved their confusion, comforted the soldiers' pain, and eliminated their fears.

The soldiers attach great importance to this kind of contact, and the leader treats himself like a family member, so that he will be more grateful for his kindness and willing to die for it, but today's situation is different, because in addition to Situ Zhuren, he is also followed by a string of masters of the Zhu family, headed by one, and even the second person of the Zhu family, "Blue-eyed Golden Eagle" Zhu Yongle.

Seeing this, the soldiers all felt that this encirclement and suppression seemed unusual, and simply exterminating the fanatics in these villages was more than enough just to seal the sword alliance, how could the Zhu family still need to mobilize? Is it ...... Is there an abnormality in the village we are going to attack today? That's why we need to prepare for special specifications?

“...... Yesterday, Brother Yongle and the brothers of the Zhu family brought news, Luo Sang, the head of Baishui Village, was lucky to get the dragon qi of the country during the battle of the Imperial City, and in the past few months, the law of the Divine Tao has been practiced, and the evil work has progressed rapidly, and the number of fanatical believers under it is also very large, if it is allowed to develop, it will become a catastrophe, and we must destroy it before it is irretrievable!"

Situ said resolutely: "Everyone is ready, after half a cup of tea, let's go!"

At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Sealing Sword Alliance ordered the ban and quickly made their own preparations, while Situ Zhuren bowed his hand to Zhu Yongle beside him, and said in disbelief: "Brother Yongle, is your information report correct?

Zhu Yongle has outstanding appearance, and his face is long-lasting, although he is over fifty years old, but there is no white hair and wrinkles on an angular face, and he is no different from a young talent in his twenties and thirties, he is wearing a brocade robe, wearing a gold and jade ring, lined with heroic hair, sharp eyes burst out of the blazing gaze, the whole person is dignified and majestic, standing in the crowd, very magnificent, absolutely worthy of the name of "blue-eyed golden eagle".

"It's true. Zhu Yongle's expression was solemn, and he said: "Brother I know that when we participated in this expedition, we also got a secret report, that Luo Sang originally secretly practiced Shinto, and his foundation was quite deep, and he got great benefits in the battle of the Imperial City...... Hmph, if that's the only way, it's nothing, it's just a village of hundreds of people, he Luo Sang has cultivated into a god, and he is also a small god who is not on the Tao among thousands of dusts, but he is crazy, and he actually secretly practiced the orc's method of attracting gods for his own selfish desires!"

"Temptation?"

Situ Zhuren was shocked, obviously frightened by this news, Zhu Yongle expected him to have such a reaction early on, nodded and transmitted, "Yes, it is the orc's method of attracting gods, after the god war, this kind of evil art can only attract yin spirits, but at this juncture of turbulence, ......"

"Indeed, the gods and demons of the heavens have begun to return, and there is a crack in the dimensional seal, at this time, using the technique of attracting gods, normally you can't attract anything, but in case it ......"

"Just in case!"

Zhu Yongle replied eagerly, expressing his anxiety, during the war of the hundred clans, the Zhu family had encountered a crisis because of this matter, and was in danger of extinction, and then paid special attention to similar issues, as soon as Zhu Yongle got the news, he immediately put down the original affairs and hurried over. If you want to cut off the root cause of things before they become serious, the probability of such incidents happening is minimized, and it is best to directly strangle them in the cradle.

"I see. Situ Yuren nodded, and made a judgment in his heart about the seriousness of the matter; "But for the sake of prudence, I still have to confirm that the source of this news is ......"

Zhu Yongle understood Situ Zhuren's prudence, if the source of the news was unreliable, and the opponent casually released a rumor, he would lead his party into a trap, resulting in heavy casualties, then what should he do? The leader of the Sealing Sword Alliance has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, so naturally he will not make such a mistake, and it is normal to confirm it again and again, but he is definitely not a person who is open to his mouth and is easily deceived by others.

“...... The news came from Tianfu. ”

"The Wang family?"

Situ Yuren looked surprised, but then nodded, "The family of the King of Tianfu is divinated, and he can know the affairs of the world without going out, since it is the information they transmitted, it is absolutely reliable." ”

After confirming this, Situ Zhuren even saw that among the Zhu family, there were two white-clothed masters dressed as scribes, these two were none other than the people of the Tianfu royal family, and they were specially invited technicians from the Zhu family to isolate the outside world and prevent accidents when everyone was doing.

Everything was arranged, everyone immediately set off, with the strength of the lion Bo Rabbit, directly attacked Baishui Village, sealed the mixed team of talents of the Sword Alliance and the masters brought by the Zhu family, quickly entered Baishui Village, and effortlessly disintegrated the resistance of this group of rabble, and even in the melee, there was still enough strength to only subdue and not kill, and everyone listened to the order to knock down and subdue the villagers who were crazy to kill, but they did not hurt their lives.

When everyone rushed into Baishui Village, Luo Sang and others in the village were holding a ceremony, in the thatched greenhouse, the head Luo Sang led his priests, burned incense and worshipped, it had been three days, the body was tattooed with runes, the cloak was scattered, the hands were dancing, dancing the evil dance, like crazy.

Situ Zhuren and Zhu Yongle, under the leadership of the soldiers in front, easily disintegrated the surrounding defenses and entered the greenhouse, and the soldiers brought by the two were elite and extraordinary. Before they even made a move, the people below had already broken down all resistance and paved a road for them to drive straight into.

In the decaying greenhouse, there was a raging flame burning, surrounded by smoke, and Luo Sang, who was covered with rune marks, sat in the fire, holding a spell in both hands, and saw that everyone was violent, and walked in, and the priest who was originally doing it was beheaded and fell to the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, not only did not panic, but laughed.

"You're coming, but it's coming too slowly...... Hahahaha......"

The arrogant laughter resounded all around, as if announcing to everyone the coming of the strong.

Hearing the sound, Situ Zhuren's face changed immediately, and he jumped out of the crowd first, and slashed at Luo Sang, who was still laughing arrogantly, but unexpectedly, the blood light dispersed faster, and before Situ Zhuren could kill him, he instantly shone all over the greenhouse, devouring all the figures that invaded the grass hut.

...... This wordless bloody storm is the beginning of the general trend of the world getting out of control.
