The current pattern of Yuzhou is a three-party trend.

The demon clan has seized the territory of the heavenly court, there are two major demon emperors in charge, there are many generals, and the energy is constantly replenished from the outer regions, whether it is the top combat power, the middle level combat power or the lower level combat power, but the problem it has to face is that it is impossible for either the demon race or the human race to cooperate with it.

The goal of the demon race is to destroy, and the human race, as the lord of the Jade Continent, is naturally impossible to compromise with the invaders, and the goal of the Demon Emperor is to dominate the Jade Continent and replace the position of the human race.

The demon clan has seized the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and the demon emperor is the strongest person on the Yuzhou table, no one is invincible, and his body is not complete, which means that his strength still has room for improvement, once he recovers all his body and restores the cultivation of the sub-holy realm, then he can really dominate Yuzhou, even if the human race and the demon clan join forces, they are not his opponents.

The dilemma of the demon clan is that there are too few generals, although there are four fierce people at the level of the extreme powerhouse, and the combat power is not inferior to any of the three sects and six sects, but its opponent is not which sect, but a group, such as the three sects and six sects of the extreme path powerhouses combined, nearly thirty people, and the demon clan has more than ten.

Moreover, the number of demon clans is too small.

Unlike the demon clan, which was strictly guarded by the human race and firmly suppressed within the scope of the three major states controlled by the heavenly court, the appearance of the demon clan was too sudden, and the other factions had not yet reacted, and the demon emperor had already occupied the magpie's nest, forcibly seized the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and divided the two states of Sen and Ling.

At this time, they still have the ability to continue to expand their territory, but the demon clan has stopped the pace of aggression, because even if it is the land of two states, they cannot occupy all of them, and their manpower is stretched.

It has been too long for the demon clan to withdraw from the stage of the times, and in ancient times, the Middle Ages, and the ancient times were all human races as the protagonists, and in the era of internal struggle for hegemony, the demon clan in the early ancient times could still be an important supporting role, and in the Middle Ages and ancient times, they were not even a trick.

Moreover, after the Middle Ages, due to the clear strength of each other, the demon clan did not even have the qualifications to be the opponent of the human race, so the two were at peace with each other, and the human race no longer shouted and killed the demon clan, unless it was the kind of little demon who did not have long eyes as the party and killed the people, otherwise most of the monks also turned a blind eye.

Some demon clans with strong bloodlines, if they have the chance, can also join the sect to practice, and if they become Dharma protector beasts, their status is no less than that of the sect elders.

Therefore, even if there is a demon emperor who ascends to the heights, there are only some little demons who are willing to join him, and there are very few demon kings in the middle of heaven and man, as for those demon emperors who survived from the primeval and ancient times, they still guard their own one-third of an acre, and they have an attitude that no one offends me and I don't offend, and there is no response to this.

To put it simply, the spirit of the demon clan has been worn out by the long years, and the older the demon clan lives, the more they don't have the courage to give it a go, as long as they can continue to live, they don't mind being a ghoul, although the name of the demon emperor is loud, but they have no appeal to them, and they will not be like those little demons, when they hear the name of the demon emperor, their blood is boiling, and they swear to follow and dominate the world.

Even, they may have to complain about the demon emperor's blind tossing, they could have lived peacefully and be a soil emperor, but the demon emperor made such a fuss, and it would set off a contradiction between the human race and the demon race, and the future would no longer be peaceful.

Of course, this does not mean that these demon emperors are stupid and have no overall view, on the contrary, they are very shrewd.

If the Demon Emperor is defeated, they can use the excuse that they have not helped each other to escape the responsibility of the human race, and if the Demon Emperor wins, they don't mind taking refuge in the past and being a happy prince.

The icing on the cake can be, but there is no way to send charcoal in the snow.

Even if the Demon Emperor is dissatisfied with their behavior, he can't do anything with them, to put it mildly, the number of demon clans is too small, and the Demon Emperor can't find an alternative that can replace these ancient demons.

Since whether they lose or win, it will not harm their interests, they are naturally happy to sit on the Diaoyutai steadily, watch the tripartite battle, and sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, after all, it is a war involving the powerhouses of the void, even if they participate in it, they can't guarantee their lives, such a dangerous muddy water, it is better not to go to it.

The power of the human race is the strongest among the three forces, although on the surface, the two Void powerhouses are still invincible to the Demon Emperor when they join forces, and they seem to be lacking in top-level combat power, and they can only be on par with the Demon Clan, but don't forget the most critical point - the Demon Race is a poor bastard, and behind the two Void Powerhouses is the accumulation of millions of years of Guiru Sect and Taishang Sect.

Not to mention the others, both the Guixu Sect and the Taishang Sect have Dao weapons that are used as treasures of the town sect, and there is more than one, and then get together with other gate sects, enough to make up a full body of Dao weapons, attack, defense, and auxiliary are complete, in the case of using Dao weapons, their combat power is rising in a straight line, even if they are alone, they can break their wrists with the Demon Emperor who has not yet recovered their skills, although the odds of winning are not great.

In terms of magic weapons, the demon clan is the poorest, basically can't take out anything decent, and the demon emperor has just broken the seal, naturally he is also poor, empty-handed, although they robbed the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, but the important treasures were taken away by those monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who desperately fled, such as the Taoist weapon, of course, they did not get nothing, most of the magic weapons in the treasure house of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were intercepted and fell into the pocket of the demon emperor, and then he rewarded them to the demon clans who joined his command, so as to gather the demon hearts, but the most essential part, they could not get it。

In contrast, because the demon clan had been planning for a long time and was fully prepared to launch a surprise attack, it successfully swallowed up most of the Heavenly Court savings, which was comparable to the weakest of the original six sects, the Yingxian Sect.

The problem faced by the Terran side is that their forces are too scattered, although they are strong overall, they are actually composed of countless small groups, no more than the Demon Race, only the Demon Emperor is the first to look forward, nor are they better than the Demon Race, there are only two power groups, so it is difficult for the Terran to concentrate their forces together, after all, in addition to protecting the righteousness of Yuzhou, each faction also has to take care of its own interests.

For example, when all the monks gathered and attacked the demons, the demons sent a strange army to attack the Six Dao Sect, to save or not to save?

If you don't save it, it will chill the hearts of the monks of the Six Dao Sects, and they may make a fuss, break away from the brigade, and personally return to help.

In addition, the human race is the master of Yuzhou, which also means that they have the obligation to protect the people of Yuzhou, the vast territory, the infinite population, these need to be guarded, in peacetime, this is help, in wartime, this becomes a burden, and the demon race and the demon race do not have such scruples.

The demons want to destroy everything in Yuzhou, but the human race and the demon race will not let them get their wish, this is an uncompromising contradiction, if they do too much, they will force the human race and the demon race to alliance, this is the last thing they want to see;

The demon clan is limited in combat power, and they want to see the demon race and the human race consume each other and reap the benefits, and at the same time, they also want to find the scattered body of the demon emperor as soon as possible, which is the most effective way to improve their combat power, so they want to delay time the most and choose to stand still;

The strategic goal of the human race is to have a clear priority, first eliminate the demon race as an outsider, and then suppress the demon race that challenges the hegemony, but they belong to different small groups, so the implementation efficiency is the lowest, and they also have to clean up the mess caused by the demon race and the demon race, from the formulation of the strategy to the actual implementation, I don't know how long it takes to prepare.

Under many concerns, the three sides failed to start a big war, and the war situation fell into a stalemate, and each side waited for an opportunity to break the situation.

The monk side dispersed the combat force, forming two major war zones, respectively around the land of the three states occupied by the demons and the land of the two states occupied by the demon clan to establish a defense line, to prevent the demons from invading other states, especially for the territory occupied by the demons, as early as when the gambling game, the monk side secretly moved the people of the three states out to prevent being slaughtered, leaving only a vacant land for the demons, which is also one of the reasons why the powers of the three sects and six sects agreed to accept the unfair gamble.

However, because the demon clan appeared too suddenly, it was not able to move the people of the two states, fortunately, compared to the demon clan's nature of destroying everything, although the demon clan also has a group of people who can eat people, but they are somewhat restrained, and they have withdrawn from the stage for too long, and they have no confidence in victory, and they are also worried about the day when the human race will settle the account, so some cautious demon kings will restrain their subordinates and prevent them from eating people, so as to leave a way out for themselves.

"If there were only two forces, a decisive battle would have started a long time ago, just like a game of chess, two chess players will fight against each other, but if you change to a three-party game of chess, there are too many things to worry about, and no one dares to take the lead under each other's control, which is the truth of the three. Ding is a very stable container, this stalemate, I am afraid that it will last for a long time, years and decades are normal, in the absence of the premise of victory, no one is willing to break the balance. ”

With nothing to do, Luo Feng explained the current situation in Yuzhou to Fang Yueyi, and also explained the reason why he wanted to go out to travel.

"As far as the current war situation is concerned, whether I join or not, it will not make much difference, rather than staying here and waiting, it is better to go out to find an opportunity to break through, I vaguely feel that the next catastrophe is coming. ”

Fang Yueyi was surprised: "So fast! The last time you caused the decay tribulation was before the decisive battle of the Nine Domains, it has only been a year, according to common sense, between the two decay tribulations, there should be at least a hundred years of security for you to complete your savings." ”

"Part of it is because of the side effects of using the Ten Thousand Tribulation Beads in advance, and the other part may be because I have witnessed the Ninefold Innate Dao and accumulated too much, so the weakening period is short, and the interval is also short. ”

This is the answer Luo Feng got when he asked about Tongtian Ancient Book.

Fang Yueyi asked worriedly, "Then are you sure to get through?"

Luo Feng said: "It is not a problem to resist the first wave of the Jingyuan decay tribulation, after all, I am a martial cultivator, and I am a strong point in Jingyuan cultivation, and the difficulty lies in the subsequent weakening period, so I plan to travel and find a world where the cultivation level is not high, so as to ensure the safety of the weakening period." ”

This is the most common method for monks to overcome the decay, because it is not known that it will take until the Year of the Monkey to end the weakening period by closing the door, and it is very dangerous to travel outside, and their own strength will be greatly weakened during the weakening period, so finding a world where the Taoism is weak and the cultivation system is not strong can not only ensure safety, but also find an opportunity to end the decay.

Fang Yueyi was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Your thoughts have always been correct, and I have nothing to persuade ...... Wait, don't you want to survive the two decays and then return to Yuzhou?"

She suddenly thought of this possibility, since the interval was shortened, it might not take too much time to trigger the two decay tribulations, especially the decay of the three elements is often linked, in contrast, the last Dao heart decay tribulation is too special, but does not follow the law of the first three decay tribulations, which is also the reason why monks usually only call the three major decay tribulations, but not the four major decay tribulations.

Luo Feng shook his head and said, "No, I plan to return to Yuzhou after achieving the Extreme Dao, and only in this way can I have the qualifications to participate in this war." ”

“......”

Fang Yueyi was speechless for a long time, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "Living in the same era as you, it's really too stressful, a few days ago I just survived the Heavenly Tribulation and advanced to the Quadruple Dao Realm, I thought I could finally see your back, but I didn't expect to be thrown away by you again, this feeling is really uncomfortable......"

Tongtian Gushu opened his mouth and comforted: "Actually, you are already very good, those geniuses of the three sects and six sects, ninety-nine out of a hundred are not as good as you, your cultivation speed can be put in the history of the six sects, at least you can squeeze into the top twenty, if you are born in other eras, you are an existence that needs to be looked up to by others, you have your own path, and it is unnecessary to compare with Luo Feng, this kid." ”

"I know, in fact, I don't feel jealous, I just feel ......" Fang Yueyi clenched her fists, her eyes showed complicated emotions, staring at Luo Feng and said, "In the past, I could help you somewhat, but now I have to put in ten times the effort just to not become a burden to you, I have already felt it in the Nine Domains War, I can no longer catch up with you, I can't stand by your side, I can only be an inconsequential bystander, I hate this feeling of powerlessness." ”

The eyes of the two looked at each other, Luo Feng did not dodge, and neither did Fang Yueyi.

After a while, Fang Yueyi raised her hands and patted her face, snapping twice, quite hard, and her face turned red, but she also swept away the feeling of sadness and decadence, and said with perseverance: "I have decided, I will go and help the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and then ask them for the method of beast soul condensation, which is the fastest way to improve my cultivation in the known." ”

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was seized by the Demon Emperor, and it was unable to recapture it, so it had to find another place to live, such as them, a big faction is often cunning, and it also has strongholds in other states, but the pattern is far inferior to the rudder that was taken away.

The new stronghold is close to the wilderness, and there are often fierce beasts invading, so the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect asked for help from other sects, hoping to get help, and promised to pay for some of the secret techniques and exercises of this sect.

Of course, this is also done to prevent other sects from falling into the ground.
