In the fourth year of auspicious celebration, the world was in chaos.

The contradictions between the three gangs, four factions and five families finally developed from the obscure demolition of each other to a bloody fight, and the hidden social contradictions of the Great Liang Dynasty broke out completely.

And it was at this time that the barbarians went south from the Cold Iron Pass in the Northern Regions and invaded the Central Plains.

The internal turmoil in Daliang has not subsided, and under the hasty response to the battle, he is invincible and can only retreat one after another.

At the same time, there are demons raging in various parts of the country, and for a time the lives are miserable, and the people are not happy.

Emperor Liang had no choice but to restrict the Daomen, worshiped the leader of the Daomen, Miao Youxianshi, as the national teacher, and asked the Daomen forces to interfere in the world, one to pacify the demons and rebellion, and the other to resist the barbarian invasion.

However, the red-clothed demons and ghost-faced demons suddenly appeared among the demons, and under their leadership, the strength of the demon army was great, and even the sixteen foundations of the Dao Gate were broken, and the mountain gates of Xuantian Zhengzong and Zixiao Sword Sect were broken one after another, and the entire northern part of the Liang Kingdom fell.

At this time, Chen An was taking Han Yueling and Shen Liang in a team of refugees, marching along the ancient road to Jihai County on the coast of the East China Sea.

Along the way, with the influx of refugees, all kinds of news came one after another.

"The contradictions between the three gangs, four factions and five families have been going on for a long time, but this time it seems that the outbreak is really not the right time. ”

Hearing the words "Dao Sect Leader Miao You Immortal Master", Han Yueling finally determined that the night soul did not lie and deceive at that time, and the Dao Sect had indeed undergone a big change, and her already seriously injured mental state became more and more trance-like.

"Their contradictions, it may not be that the demons instigated them, it can only be said that the demons have been planning for a long time. ”

Chen An spoke out to help analyze it, but he couldn't help but think of the "Qi Quanyou" incident in his heart.

On the surface, it seems that the five families are making an obstacle and stirring up the relationship between the three gangs and the four factions, but in fact, what role the demons play in it can be glimpsed from "Qi Quanyou".

At that time, although because of the factor of red clothes, there were demons tracking, which was considered a special situation, but looking at the reactions of other people, it was obvious that the name of "Qi Quanyou", the Danjin Grandmaster, had been ringing on the green forest road for not a day or two, and he played the demon so easily, which could be regarded as a far-reaching anomaly.

And this incident is not a microcosm of the situation in various parts of the entire Great Liang Dynasty, how can the contradictions between the three gangs, four factions and five families not completely break out over time.

It's only strange that the political situation in Daliang is too complicated, the five families are authentic to the imperial court, but there are three gangs and four factions that are unruly and self-contained.

This kind of composition is not reliable compared to the city-state system, how can it not be taken advantage of at a critical moment.

Or not to mention the role of demons in it, the secular dynasty itself rejects the Daomen and has a problem.

They themselves are inextricably fighting among themselves, and they also set the iron law that no one knows the immortals, and the immortals do not come to the ordinary, and they try their best to cover up the existence of the Daomen to fool the people.

This is okay in the peaceful years, and even the Great Qian Dynasty of the Central World did this, and the contradictions between the families and sects themselves are serious, and they also try their best to downplay the existence of the Western Regions Immortal Sect.

But these must be built on the support of strong national strength, and he himself is a piece of Xiang, and he is afraid that others will lick his heart, how can there be no problems.

The demon's actions are just to catalyze this process, and even what he and Chongri do is just to take advantage of the situation, and sooner or later there will be problems with the beam, not to be inferior to himself and others.

Looking at these refugees around him, Chen Anxin did not have the slightest ripples, and the mentality of hesitating for a long time when he was poisoning in Haizhou in Dazhou is long gone. After a lot of experience, nature also knows a lot, heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, and the change of the general trend is never transferred by a person's will.

At that time, the matter of Haizhou was actually a contradiction between the imperial power and the local government, and the so-called imperial power represented not a family with one surname and one person, but the interests of the whole world, they needed to centralize power, they needed to return Haizhou to the central government, divide counties and counties, and get more rights. This is the general trend of the Great Zhou, King Wu can't see the general trend clearly, he deserves to die, although it has affected many people, but he is not innocent in the bureau.

The current situation of Daliang, the fundamental reason is the mistake of the system itself, it needs to be broken and then established, first completely break it, and then fundamentally establish an advanced system, this is the general trend of Daliang, the existence of himself and others is just to play a role in promoting, killing more people, destroying more cities, in this world is also meritorious.

The study of the history of the scriptures and chapters in the Kunlun Academy has broadened Chen An's horizons, and he has also had a certain reflection on some of his previous experiences.

"Demon," Han Yueling muttered as she looked at the ragged homeless people around her, her face complicated.

Chen An saw through it, but she didn't, in her opinion, the scene in front of her was tantamount to a tragedy in the world, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, but she couldn't help it.

"Senior Sister Han, it's better to go to Zhenhaiguan and contact the sect before making other plans. ”

Chen An opened his mouth to persuade, but he made up his mind in his heart, he would withdraw when he arrived at Jihai County along the ancient road, but he couldn't go to this troubled water, like Chongri, it was the right way to hide behind the scenes and watch the big show.

Han Yueling's face was still pale, she was extremely injured this time, if it weren't for the support of this "Senior Brother Jun" all the way, she might not have been able to survive at all, Wen Yan nodded: "Everything is arranged by Senior Brother." ”

......

Chen An didn't know that he thought that Chongri, who had a leisurely mentality, now had much less entanglement in his heart than Han Yueling.

Casting a spell to break the forbidden seal in the spiritual position, watching it rise and fly forward to the mountain, Chongri's face is extremely complicated, whether he can figure it out, whether he can see through it or not, it has nothing to do with cultivation, only with the world he has experienced.

In Chongri's view, Qiuchen was kind to him, not only saving his life, but also preaching his Taoism, so that he could settle down in this unfriendly world, and he did inherit the will of the Daomen and guarded the world for so many years.

What he is doing now is not only a denial of his own efforts over the years, but also a complete betrayal, betraying the master, betraying the master, betraying the human camp, and even betraying himself, even if he has a hard time, even if he has another purpose, even if this demon is not another demon, the crime of betraying the clan and aiding the abuse cannot be escaped.

Therefore, the pain in his heart is by no means understandable.

"Uncle Chongri, you ......"

Sheng Luo was a little speechless, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

"I'm fine," Chongri shook his head, not missing any emotion, as if answering Shengluo, and as if he was strengthening his confidence: "The pain suffered by the clan for more than 10,000 years, the sad scene in my hometown, is much heavier than all this in my heart, although I have lived here for many years, I still have not forgotten my identity, I have not forgotten my roots. As long as I can lift the mutation of the Eastern Wilderness and lift the curse of the tribe, even if I worship the sun and sink into the Nine Shadows, I will never be able to live forever, and I will die without regrets. ”

In the distance, the demon seed in the form of a black-red evil qi mass flew higher and higher, gradually flying to the front mountain, and suddenly a fierce battle broke out, and the magic aura soared into the sky.

However, there was no suspense, and the demonic demon seed was finally collected by a red figure.

The red figure froze in the air for a moment, as if looking meaningfully in the direction of Chongri.

Chongri looked at him for a moment, and then turned his head and said, "Go to the East China Sea, wait for the opening of the Immortal Mountain, and there will be a fierce battle then." ”

After saying that, he walked straight down the mountain with a painful pain, and disappeared on the mountain road after a while.

In the distance, the fire demon slowly soared into the air, rose to the side of the red cloth, and said respectfully: "Holy Lord, this holy fetus is strange, will there be a deception?"

The red cloth retracted his gaze, glanced at Lu Xi, and actually spoke: "Our purpose is only to open the Holy Mountain, there is no point in winning or losing the battle with the Daomen, the Holy Fetus is true, and the rest don't need to be ignored." ”

"Uh, yes. ”

Hongyi glanced at the demon seed in his hand again: "This holy fetus has not been conceived yet, we can't afford to wait, you can fuse." ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then an extremely pious and sacred expression bloomed on his face, he slumped his shoulders and bowed, carefully took the demon seed from the hand of the red cloth, and at the same time responded: "Thank you for the cultivation of the Holy Lord, the Holy Lord will live up to the mission and carry the great task of awakening the Holy Mountain." ”

......

Three days later, Chen An and his entourage finally came to Jihai County.

This place is not far from Dayou County, if it weren't for Han Yueling's injury and everyone's cautious walking, they should have arrived a long time ago.

After coming here, Chen An will no longer go to Zhenhaiguan with Han Yueling to join the remaining Daomen people, his identity cannot withstand deep investigation, and it will be troublesome to interrogate, unless Chongri is willing to endorse him, but now Chongri has long been squatting in the corner without knowing where to run.

So Chen An found a reason to send Shen Liang home, and asked Han Yueling to go to Zhenhaiguan to meet with the master first.

Shen Liang was sick and crooked along the way, and he looked very bad, Chen An knew what the situation was, but Han Yueling only thought that he was too frightened, after all, it was his proper intention to send him home all the way. However, he was concerned about the situation of the sect in his heart, so Chen An's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

Although her injuries are not healed now, her actions are unhindered, and she agreed with Chen An to see Zhenhai, and said goodbye to Shen Liang, and then went to the direction of Zhenhaiguan outside the county.

Chen An watched her leave, and then took Shen Liang to choose a direction.

His plan after that was very clear, that is, to hide aside and watch the demon show, just wait for the immortal mountain to appear, and then join forces with Chongri to find the whereabouts of the Blood Moon Knife, complete the ultimate goal, and draw the sword.

The only thing that needs to be considered in the meantime is the question of where to hide, Zhenhaiguan will never go, it has become a focal point of existence, and if you go, you will be involved in the battle between the demons and the Daomen, and you can't get out.

Hidden in the city, the best choice is naturally to hide in the city of Jihai County and watch the fire from the other side, so Shen Liang in his hand is useful.
