Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Earthquake

During the meal, Xiao Longchen asked seemingly casually, "Brother Sun, I don't know if you have heard of the organization of the Demon Sect?"

As soon as Sun Quan heard this, the chopsticks in his hand paused, and then he looked at Xiao Longchen in amazement and said, "I said brother, don't you know that the word 'Demon Sect' is a taboo in all human empires?"

As soon as Xiao Longchen heard that there was a play, he hurriedly asked curiously: "Aren't there no outsiders here, Brother Sun, tell me quickly, what kind of organization is the Demon Sect?"

Seeing that he really wanted to hear it, Sun Quan shook his head and sighed, "Before the birth of the Star Sorcerer, this organization already existed. It's just that at that time, they had very few members, and they were still in their infancy, so they didn't have much influence. Later, the first astral magician appeared, and it soon developed into a powerful force as well. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Quan had a look of emotion on his face, and after taking a bite of the food, he continued: "Due to the completely different cultivation systems of the two cultivation systems, the Demon Sect cultivators and the astro magicians gradually began to have friction, and as time passed, they eventually intensified into irreconcilable contradictions. ”

"Because the threshold for the cultivation of the Demon Sect is extremely low, the powerhouses of the Demon Sect are also unclear. At the beginning, the astral sorcerer camp was at a disadvantage, and it was suppressed by the Demon Sect everywhere. However, the first Holy Emperor in history, who later formed the Holy City, after traveling through the major empires at that time, did not know what price he tossed, but he actually got the support of all the empires. ”

In the following words, without Sun Quan's narration, Xiao Longchen can guess a rough idea.

It must be that after the astral sorcerer camp received the support of all the empires, it completely reversed the original disadvantaged situation, and then launched a large-scale counterattack against the Demon Sect.

Armies made up of ordinary people may not be able to threaten the mighty monks with a small number. But if the number of people reaches tens of thousands, just relying on ordinary bows and arrows can slowly consume a top powerhouse.

When the Demon Sect was given this advantage by the Astral Warlock camp, it meant that they had only one fate.

As for how the first Holy Emperor in history persuaded the major empires, it is not difficult to guess, it must be because those empires value the fact that astral magicians can only make a few people strong, which is more conducive to defending their rule over the people, so they have received strong support from the major empires, so they are willing to help the star magicians destroy the Demon Sect.

Although Xiao Longchen does not understand this kind of political issue, he also knows the structure of capitalist society. Undoubtedly, it was to put power and wealth in the hands of a few, so that they could enslave the commoners without any worries, so that the hereditary royal power could remain stable.

Cultivation, after all, depends on strength and resources. The major empires have an absolute advantage, and all the cultivation resources within the territory belong to the private property of the royal family.

If those ordinary monks wanted to obtain cultivation resources, they had to work for the royal family.

However, the Holy City, as a special organization that controls the cultivation of astral magicians, must have reached some kind of agreement with the major empires.

In this way, the major empires were able to make the royal family's force stronger through the cultivation exercises provided by the Holy City, thus completely becoming an unshakable situation for the common people.

And the Holy City has also received enough cultivation resources from the major empires, and even has fresh blood that can become an astral magician, so it can rise rapidly in the early stage and develop into a transcendent force that exists independently in addition to the major empires.

Xiao Longchen didn't know if those empires would regret it when they found out that the Holy City had developed far beyond their expectations, and even to the point where it could threaten each of their empires.

However, judging from the current pattern of the human world on the Star Continent, although the Holy City has great strength, it does not have any intention of dominating it.

Although the major empires have been fighting for many years, they have also been checked and balanced by the Holy City, so that there has been no unified human empire.

In this case, it seems that the outbreak of a large-scale war can be avoided for the time being. However, from the perspective of the entire human camp, an embarrassing situation has been formed in which the human race is now very strong, but it has never been able to defeat the alien beast.

However, although the Holy City saw through this, it did not dare to let a certain empire become dominant.

Once a unified empire emerges, the Holy City's transcendent status will cease to exist. At that time, they may have only two options, either submit to this unified empire, or they will suffer a catastrophe.

Because the human world is barely stable now, no one dares to risk offending the Holy City and have any idea of unifying the entire human world.

These questions were all the result of Xiao Longchen's reasoning through clues after learning about the battle between the Demon Sect and the Holy City.

In that distant history, there may be other deeper secrets hidden, except for the five imperial royal families and the high-ranking officials of the Holy City, it should be impossible for outsiders to know at all!

Xiao Longchen couldn't help but sigh, whether it was the Five Continents Alliance on the Earth, or the five empires and holy cities on the Star Continent, they could not achieve true unification after all.

After eating, Mu Chen and Sun Quan rode to the barracks, and Xiao Longchen seemed very silent all the way, obviously thinking about some matters.

Sun Quan didn't ask him where he heard about the Demon Sect, a powerful organization that once led an era but was still wiped out in the long river of history, nor did he ask Xiao Longchen what he was thinking about at the moment.

Because this topic is absolutely taboo on the Star Continent, it is not suitable to talk about it outside at all.

Over the years, there have been occasional rumors in the major empires and even in the Holy City that the Demon Sect still has remnants and has begun to infiltrate the major forces.

However, every time the remnants of the Demon Sect are discovered, they will be suppressed by the major forces with the most brutal means, so that the Demon Sect can only shrink up and cannot have any large-scale impact on the civilian world.

From the perspective of Xiao Longchen, an outsider, he hoped that the Demon Sect would grow. Because only by allowing those ordinary people to improve their strength through cultivation can the human world be completely free from the infestation of alien beasts and truly become rich and strong.

However, judging from the probability of ordinary people becoming astrologists now, the Holy City will definitely not allow the development of the Demon Sect. Because once the special force of the Demon Sect grows and grows, the number of strong people born will definitely far exceed that of the Holy City.

At that time, when the strength of the two sides is completely unequal, will the Demon Sect drive out the Holy City to annihilation? This is a very serious question.

With Mu Chen's understanding of human nature, he believed that this kind of outcome was very likely.

After Xiao Longchen figured out these joints, he couldn't help but think of the powerful weapons that Xiao Xing mastered. Once such otherworldly technology is thoroughly developed, I am afraid that it will also become an organization that is not weaker than any other force.

When the time comes, ordinary people can match the astrowizards with powerful weapons, and then the foundations of the Holy City and the major empires will definitely be shaken.

Since they were able to destroy a Demon Sect, they would definitely stop the development of technological weapons at all costs.

Therefore, Xiao Longchen has strengthened his determination, that is, he must not expose his secrets until he has enough strength to protect himself.

Just as Xiao Longchen was thinking, the two arrived at the military camp of the Zhenbei Army.

Because he had already been here once yesterday, he didn't need Sun Quan to remind him, so Xiao Longchen drove the war horse under him to a corner on the edge of the school field.

After the two of them tied their horses, they walked quickly towards the center of the school field.

Except for the bow and arrow practice that Xiao Longchen has not yet come into contact with, the daily drills are all the same as yesterday's, and there is nothing special about it.

However, when Xiao Longchen was directing his sergeants to conduct marksmanship drills, the earth suddenly shook violently.

With the exception of a few alert sergeants, most of them fell to the ground unprepared. made the originally orderly school field instantly chaotic.

Is it an earthquake?

With Xiao Longchen's strength, there would naturally be no fall, so when he stabilized his body, this idea first came to mind.
