Chapter 613: The Four Holy Sects of Tragedy

The Four Holy Sects control the land of the eight county cities in the southeast of the Eastern Continent, in addition to following the unspoken rules of the Eastern Continent for a hundred years and still claiming to be the territory of the Phoenix Kingdom, in fact, the power of the Four Holy Sects here can already be called a country of its own. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, even so, in fact, the Four Holy Sects only used their own unique means to usurp and control the military and political system and corresponding officials established by the original Phoenix Royal Court in these eight counties, making the royal court decree a pile of waste paper here, and only the bishops of the Four Holy Sects were respected in the eight counties, but it was not really re-established their own political system here, which was actually the usual means used by those shadow princes on the Eastern Continent today.

Therefore, although it is actually the master of these eight counties, on the surface, the Four Holy Sects are still a folk gang organization with a mixed nature of religion and gangs. The base camp of the Four Holy Sects was not set up in the city of one of the eight counties, but was set up on a cliff called Wulin Mountain in the southeast mountains with the temperament of a folk gang.

Of course, since this is the base camp of the Four Holy Sect forces that control the land of the Eight Counties, it is possible to retain the true colors of the gang, but it cannot but consider the security of the key place of the powerful forces. After hundreds of years of operation, the entire Wulin Mountain has been turned into a natural armed fortress with few irrelevant civilians living in the Four Holy Sects, only the troops and logistics personnel of the Four Holy Sects are stationed, and as long as the police are issued here, there are at least three surrounding counties that can send reinforcements at the first time, which can be called an impregnable defense.

However, even in such a natural fortress, Hei Peng, the current leader of the Four Holy Sects, did not feel as reliable and secure as he usually did.

Sitting on the throne of the sect leader, Hei Peng pursed his lips and looked at the four holy sect elders and leaders of all sizes kneeling in the hall at his feet on one or both knees, and his pair of cold eyes swept around, as if he wanted to engrave all the changes in everyone's expressions and all the details of their movements into their eyes.

β€œ...... This seat has given you plenty of time to investigate, so that you can find out who attacked those white elves and what is the origin of those mutated demonic beasts that resemble the Dharma Protector Beasts of this sect, but now, you actually say that you haven't even found a fart in this time?!"

As Hei Peng's words fell, a powerful and cold coercion instantly spread in the lobby, and above the lobby, a small number of small leaders who were not strong even fainted directly to the ground in an instant.

Seeing that the people below didn't speak, Hei Peng's face became more and more ugly, and he suddenly felt that it was better to teach one or two people to stand up and talk to him about some excuses than now, at least he could make up a reason, indicating that there were still one or two people under him who were at least a little smart, not like now, a group of people who racked their brains and couldn't find a single thing, no, considering the force value of this group of people, it might be more appropriate to say that they were a group of violent idiots.

If in the past, when the Four Holy Sects had no long-term worries and short-term worries, they only needed to hold on to their territory and act in the eight southeastern counties, these people would be able to do it, but now that the Four Holy Sects are facing the biggest crisis in the past thousand years, Hei Peng found that there are few truly reliable think-tank figures in the middle and high-level sects now. The Four Holy Sects were not afraid of enemies like the Phoenix Royal Court or even the White Elf Clan on the surface, but now the enemy who was secretly calculating step by step the Four Holy Sects to lead them into the trap of the Ten Thousand Dead Realm was really helpless for Hei Peng, who had no one around him to give advice.

That's right, in the eyes of Hei Peng, and even the middle and high-level leaders of the Four Holy Sects who are kneeling below, the Four Holy Sects are being calculated.

More than half a month ago, when the Four Holy Sects were still joining forces with King Huaide against the Wang Ting Army. In the middle of a battle, a large number of mutated demonic beasts unexpectedly rushed out of the camp of the Four Holy Sects and severely damaged the Wang Tingjun, and then the news of the Four Holy Sects colluding with the Chaos Demon spread, and that battle also became the first ironclad evidence.

Outsiders don't know the origin of those demonic beasts, but there are still many core sectists in the upper echelons of the Four Holy Sect who know very well that those mutated demonic beasts that rushed out of the Four Holy Sect that day are undoubtedly the Dharma Protector Beasts that the Four Holy Sect has been used to garrison several important or secret places in the sect such as Wulin Mountain for thousands of years.

These Dharma Protector Beasts were brought out by the Sect Masters of the past dynasties from the most secret "Holy Land" of the Four Holy Sects that only the Sect Masters are qualified to know, although they do have a strange appearance and violent temperament, and there are many suspicious and terrifying features, but because these Dharma Protector Beasts are powerful and at the same time, they are obedient to the orders of the Sect Masters of the past dynasties who can enter and exit the "Holy Land", and there has never been a problem with their loyalty, so the origin of these Dharma Protector Beasts has never been doubted in the Four Holy Sects.

But just after that battle, the Dharma Protector Beast in the sect was pointed out by the White Elf Clan as a fallen demonic beast infected by the demonic breath, which caused an uproar in the sect. You must know that the existence of the Dharma Protector Beast is not a secret in the Holy Sect, many of the core sect members stationed in Wulin Mountain and those secret strongholds even do not usually get close to these terrible monsters, but they are also stationed in the same place as guards, and suddenly know that these monsters who live with them day and night are actually monsters related to demons, and this panic naturally spreads like the most violent plague at once.

In the end, the sect leader Hei Peng personally came forward, and finally temporarily suppressed the panic in the sect, Hei Peng's reason is very simple, before this, the Dharma Protector Beast has existed in the sect for hundreds of years without anything happening, just this time It is too absurd and arbitrary to say that these Dharma Protector Beasts who protect their homes for the Four Holy Sects are fallen monsters.

Hei Peng's reason convinced most of the sect members, because it did sound very reasonable, but in fact, only those who were at the top of the sect knew that although the Dharma Protector Beasts had never attracted similar suspicion for hundreds of years, it was also related to the fact that these Dharma Protector Beasts had never appeared outside the sect for hundreds of years, and they were only responsible for the protection work within the sect. Prior to this, there were not many outsiders who knew about the existence of the Dharma Protector Beasts except for these sect members in the sect, and even if the sect members knew, because these Dharma Protector Beasts were brought out by the sect masters of the past dynasties from the mysterious "Holy Land", they would not have any doubts about this at all.

Therefore, the origin of these Dharma Protector Beasts is actually very suspicious, and the high-level officials in the sect have privately asked Hei Peng, the sect leader, after all, he is the only person in the sect who knows where the "Holy Land" is and how the Dharma Protector Beast came from. At that time, Hei Peng personally assured them that there was no problem with the origin of the Dharma Protector Beast, and it was a strengthened demonic beast transformed in the "Holy Land" using the secret magic circle left by the Four Holy Ancestors...... This is indeed not deceiving, because Hei Peng knows so much from the previous sect master, as for what the principle of the secret magic circle to transform these demonic beasts is, and whether there is a demonic aura mixed into it, this Hei Peng doesn't know.

But the latter words, Hei Peng, can't tell anyone, after all, now the Four Holy Sect is being attacked by the joint attack of the White Elf Clan and the Phoenix Royal Court, and the outside is even more notorious because of the demons, and there are no allies to rely on, if you let the people below know that the accusation that the Dharma Protector Beast is a fallen monster may really be the truth, not his so-called "There is no excuse for the crime he wants to add", as soon as the people's hearts are scattered, the Four Holy Sect will be completely finished.

Of course, demons are taboo on the mainland, but if the foundation of the Four Holy Sects for thousands of years is destroyed for the sake of the so-called order and justice on the mainland, and even the stench will be left for thousands of years, Heipeng, the sect leader, will not agree. So while stabilizing the sect, Hei Peng immediately took action, and while he followed the elders and leaders to quickly spread the statement that "the rumor that the Dharma Protector Beast is a fallen demonic beast is false, and it is actually a poisonous plan by a villain who wants to frame the Four Holy Sects", he immediately began to investigate all the people and incidents related to this matter inside and outside the sect.

The origin of the Dharma Protector Beast cannot be scrutinized, this is indeed unjustifiable, but even a bomb needs someone to ignite before it can explode, and it is obvious that this incident is definitely someone who is secretly deliberately directing the fire to the Four Holy Sects.

Hei Peng knew this very well, because the most obvious evidence was that in that battle when the Dharma Protector Beast came out, neither he nor the elders he sent out to lead the army of the Four Holy Sects at that time, no one had ever given an order to take the Dharma Protector Beast with the army or even go to the front line. But in the end, an elder named Stygian Ice was originally responsible for escorting logistics supplies to the army, but unknowingly secretly brought a group of Dharma Protector Beasts to the front line in the logistics army, and then released them in that battle.

If it weren't for that damn Elder Stygian Ice, the question of the origin of these Dharma Protector Beasts might still be hidden in the shadows as a secret that people have ignored in the sect for thousands of years, and would not be exposed to the eyes of the people of the whole continent like this. Therefore, after realizing that someone was secretly calculating the Four Holy Sects, Hei Peng immediately arrested Stygian Ice, wanting to ask him why he did such a thing, how he did it without anyone knowing, and even whether there were any comrades behind him.

Originally, Hei Peng was very confident, and with those harsh torture methods in their sect, he was not afraid that Ying Bing would not confess, but he didn't think that Ming Bing was caught and released on the way back to Wulin Mountain, and within three days, the whole person suddenly became stupid and stupid and didn't say a word clearly, and on the night he returned to Wulin Mountain, before Hei Peng could make time to torture him personally, that guy died inexplicably.

Hei Peng was furious, it was obvious that there must be other accomplices in the sect besides Styx Ice, and he didn't know what means he used to kill Styx Ice, an outcast who was destined to be exposed, directly before being tortured. Hei Peng ordered a strict search of the Ice's comrades in the sect, but at this moment, a new big thing happened.

The investigation advance team sent by the White Elf Clan was attacked by fallen demonic beasts and masters of the Four Holy Sects in the territory of the Four Holy Sects and was repulsed, and then the envoys sent by the White Elf Clan and the second group of investigation teams were directly expelled by force by the Four Holy Sect troops who received orders from Wulin Mountain.

After Hei Peng and the high-ranking members of the Four Saints Sect knew about these things, they really just wanted to scold their mother, because these things were not done by them at all. Since the incident with the Stygian Ice, all the Dharma Protectors in the Sect have been extremely guarded, and it is impossible for any Dharma Protector Beasts to run out and attack the White Elves without their knowledge. As for the fact that the envoy of the White Elf Clan and the second group of investigation teams were driven out, according to the army stationed at the border, there was an envoy named Lai Sen who personally went there to convey the message of the sect leader, but in fact, there was no one named Lai Sen in the sect at all.

What's even more strange is that after the incident, Hei Peng immediately sent two Great Elders to inquire about the matter, but the letter that he got back that was brought back by Lai Sen with the edict of the sect leader written "Drive those white elves out" is not wrong with the handwriting of the sect leader Hei Peng on it, or the code marks hidden on the letter that only the most core members of the sect understand, and even the one who claims to be called "Laisen" When the sect leader's envoy arrived in the army at that time, the full set of secret passwords used in the sect was completely flawed, and this disguise was so perfect that it even made Hei Peng and an elder break down in a cold sweat.

Who is the person who is calculating the Four Holy Sects, and why are these major secrets in the sect all discovered by the other party as if they were completely unobstructed?

Outside the sect, now the enraged White Elf Clan and the Phoenix Royal Court, which has already put down the rebellion, have sharpened their knives and are ready to join forces to send troops, but the Four Holy Sects are at a loss because of this strange incident one after another;

And there is also a group of forces that have been obvious in the secret and are still constantly tossing and turning to splash more dirty water on the Four Holy Sects, so far Hei Peng has not found out who killed the Stygian Ice, and how those secret communication marks and code words in the sect and even his own handwriting were stolen.

Is it really impossible to get over this hurdle...... Such a frustrating thought only occurred in Hei Peng's heart for a moment and was immediately erased by himself, he was the current sect leader, he would not allow the inheritance of the Four Holy Sects to be broken in his hands for thousands of years, even if those Dharma Protector Beasts that have existed in the sect since ancient times were really related to the demonic aura, as long as the Four Holy Sects could continue to control them as they had done for thousands of years before, it didn't matter at all, it was better to be able to control the chaotic monsters that even the gods had no way to do, which showed how great the ancestors of the Four Holy Sects were, didn't it!

As long as they can survive this hurdle, at least if they can get the White Elves to clear up their misunderstandings and start negotiations again, things will turn around......
