The sun is setting earlier than usual today.

Zhang Xiude was carrying an empty basket and was rushing home, it seems that he has gained a lot today, and his wife must be happy to sweep away the gloom of the past. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiude had an expectation for dinner.

Today's sunset is different from what it used to be.

Zhang Xiude smelled the smell of blood in the sunset. At the corner of the street that he must pass every day, Zhang Xiude felt a sharp pain coming from the top of his head...... Before he could figure out the situation, blood overshadowed his vision, and Zhang Xiude vaguely caught a glimpse of his shattered reflection on the silver blade.

Zhang Xiude, a good citizen, was ended his life in this way.

Two days later, the Taoist priests who came to clean up the mess were the first group of people to see Zhang Xiude's corpse.

In the remnants of late spring, Zhang Xiude, like other villagers, kept their broken bodies unchanged, silently waiting for others to find them.

"Phew!" The leading Taoist priest slammed his fist on the white wall: "Beasts, don't leave a single one! What are you doing!"

Several Taoist priests bowed their heads and remained silent.

The more the leading Taoist priest thought about it, the more angry he became.

The scale and efficiency of this kind of killing must not be something that a few goblins or monsters can do.

It is not excluded that there are sectarian demons joining it.

If this is the case, then ......

"This is probably not a simple village massacre incident, if it doesn't make trouble, it's a war!" The leader of the Taoist sect instructed his teammates to bring a "chemical objective lens" to record the scene, and then he asked his subordinates to prepare to get on the horse and rush in the direction of Kunlun Mountain first.

When the news reached Kunlun Mountain, Yuan Shi Tianzun felt very distressed, and in the past month, three villages have been "dealt with" in this way, and the villages that have suffered are concentrated in the marginal area of the enchantment stipulated in the exposition and interception of teachings.

This area is extremely sensitive for both religions. The slightest disturbance can trigger an all-out war of expounding and intercepting teaching.

Around the edge of the enchantment, for nearly a hundred years, there have been constant conflicts, and these conflicts, mostly limited to low-level goblins and mortals, have been fighting for survival resources, and have not affected the upper echelons of the exposition and interception of the sect.

But who would have thought that the barrier that was originally set up in safety would now draw a dark passage for mortals and goblins to kill without stopping.

This barrier, which is centered on the exposition of the religion and the interception of the teachings, separating the mortals from the goblins, is called "".

The original intention of Hongjun Daoist to set up "" is to maintain the balance and balance between the two sides of the exposition and interception, and to maintain the peace and stability of the god realm.

As the supreme of heaven and earth, between humans and goblins, between exposition and interception, Hongjun Daoist who maintains objectivity and neutrality, endowed with a strict "law of the sky":

1. The forces controlled by the Chief Tongtian Sect Master and the Sect Sect Leader controlled by the Chief Yuan Shi Tianzun are regarded as the centers of the goblin and mortal worlds respectively, and they are each shrouded in them.

2. It is forbidden for the elite who expound and intercept religion to move freely to both sides of the enchantment.

3. Outside of the elite of the two religions, the two-way movement of individual individuals is permitted, but the movement of groups is prohibited unless the group seeks refuge because of oppression.

4. The party that violates the provisions of "" will be punished by the attack in the enchantment where it is located, depending on the severity of the circumstances.

5. If an accident occurs on either side of the exposition or interception of the religion, the coverage will be lost before the leadership of the religion is clarified.

For a long time, the law of the sky has been the sword that sits on the head of the exposition and interception of the teaching. It is also a principle of action that is resolutely adhered to in expounding and intercepting teachings, otherwise it will only lead to devastating disasters.

It is both a (protective) umbrella and a bondage lock.

Five years ago, during the period of civil strife, because the leadership of the exposition was not clear, the exposition lost the coverage of the enchantment, and the interception of the sect also needed to enter the Kunlun Mountains under the guise of "helping to explain and quell the chaos".

After the failure of the Duobao Daoist's attack, the sect interception elites under the seat of the Tongtian Sect issued statements one after another, judging the attack of the Duobao Daoist as a retaliation by him for privately colluding with the internal turmoil elements of the sect, which was purely a personal act and had nothing to do with the position of the sect interception.

Due to the existence of the Law of the Firmament, it is impossible for the elite of the exposition and interception of the sect to attack the other side on a large scale.

Therefore, it was hard for Yuan Shi Tianzun to believe that the elite of the sect would invade the mortal villages on a large scale. At the same time, the area under the control of the sect was not punished.

But the attack on mortals is already a fact, and this is an extremely dangerous signal.

Is there a loophole in the law of the sky?

It seems that the sect has found a way to get rid of the "Law of the Firmament"? Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head, the rules set by Hongjun Ancestor were only broken by himself.

After pondering and meditating to no avail, Yuan Shi Tianzun decided to send reinforcements in the border area, and he was ready to let his twelve immortal-level generals press the formation and put pressure on the enemy on the front line.

Although there have always been rumors about an all-out war between the two religions, Yuan Shi Tianzun never thought so, and if the two sides went to war, it would basically be a defeat for both sides, and the lives would be ruined.

Feeling that the advantage of expounding the sect was slowly losing, Yuan Shi Tianzun couldn't help but sigh and wandered alone under the Divine Pillar.

This time, there was actually a young man in a pink robe standing under the Divine Pillar.

"Senior brother, we haven't seen each other for centuries. The boy bowed respectfully.

Yuan Shi Tianzun replied with a serious face: "I feel your presence all the time. ”

As he spoke, Yuan Shi Tianzun approached the young man and passed through his body, obviously, the figure of the young man who appeared under the Pillar of the Gods was just a phantom.

The beautiful boy in the phantom looks like a fairy: his facial features, face, and figure are extremely slender and delicate, with flowing, slightly curled black hair, pink pupils, and a pale complexion.

"Senior brother, this chess game has already been arranged for you, why are you delaying your action?" the young man smiled.

"Hmph, I haven't decided whether or not to play this game with you. ”

"Senior brother, you don't have a choice at this point. The smile on the boy's face vanished.

"So you launched the border village slaughter!" Yuan Shi Tianzun angrily reprimanded.

The young man shook his head: "Senior brother, what happened at the border has nothing to do with me. ”

Obviously, Yuan Shi Tianzun was not very interested in communication, and he sat down close to the stairs.

"Senior brother, the world beyond Kunlun Mountain is changing suddenly. You may not believe it, but the incident of the slaughter of the village really has nothing to do with the sectarianism that I led, and the perpetrators are others, whether you believe it or not, but I do have other actions.

If the senior brother doesn't know what happened outside Kunlun Mountain, he will suffer a big loss. Nowadays, the sect has taken the lead in seeking change.

Senior brother can now feel that the teaching is difficult, the root cause is the problem of "organization", you also realize it, but you can't do anything about it.

In the early stage, the price will inevitably be paid, but soon, the new "organizational" system of the sect will change the balance of power between the two sides, and at that time, the exposition of the religion will not be able to come back.

Three into one, senior brother, you are ready to take the call. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun was quite disdainful: "Senior brother, you still rely on a clever mouth." But don't underestimate the power that has been cohesive for thousands of years.

You go, you're not welcome here, even if it's a phantom. ”

The young man sighed: "Senior brother, it's been centuries since you disappeared, and you still have such a temper."

However, we will see you again soon, this time without having to wait hundreds of years, and in less than a year, we will see you again. ”

Until the phantom of the junior disciple gradually dissipated, Yuan Shi Tianzun took off the arrogance that he had been disguised. He already felt the danger, but the tradition of exegety could not be moved.

Under such a premise, he could only wait and wait for the growth of the third generation of disciples of Kunlun Mountain.

However, the first thing Yuan Shi Tianzun was waiting for was a big news: Shi Ji Niangniang, who was entrenched in the territory of Skull Mountain under the control of the Interception Sect, announced that she would break away from the Interception Sect and establish a new Taoist branch called "Yuan", which was actually recognized by the Tongtian Sect Master.

Yuan Shi Tianzun was shocked, this self-reliant Shiji Niangniang is no longer protected by the interception of the sect, but at the same time, the law of the sky cannot work unilaterally for Shiji Niangniang!

If Shi Ji Niangniang attacks the teachings without authorization, the interception will not be punished.

But there is no reason for Shi Ji Niangniang to break through the teaching.

This made Yuan Shi Tianzun puzzled again.

However, he immediately arranged for Dao Xing Tianzun and Qingxu Dao Zhenjun to rush to the front line.

Just as the Yuxu Palace was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, Shen Gongbao, who was far away in Erxian Mountain, was enjoying a quiet day of cultivation.

In the fifth year of entering Kunlun Mountain, Shen Gongbao silently made a decision, he made a request to Huanglong Zhenren.
