Chapter 280: Theocratic Kingship

"What is the name of the captured Immortal Dao monk?"

Except for the people of the Li family of the Xianqing faction, Xu Qi and the other immortal sect monks couldn't talk about any "friendship" that could make them ask for help. As for the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, the Immortal Dao monk who came to the door was going to fight him to the death, and there was no reason to ask to see him.

Hearing Ying Jiao say this, Xu Qi really didn't know who wanted to name him and see him.

"His name is Wan Zhangfeng, and he is the real ruler of Huben Mountain. I didn't want to bother the first seat with this matter, but this person kept saying that there was something important to tell the first seat, so I could only disturb the first seat. ”

Xu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Wanzhang wind...... Haven't heard of this name. ”

"Kill him then?"

Looking at the situation in King Pelo's city, Xu Qi said, "It's not necessary. This seat has already dealt with the affairs here, and will return to southern Xinjiang immediately. Save the man's life, and see him when I get back from this seat. ”

"Yes. ”

After deciding the matter with Ying Jiao, Xu Qi fell into the city of King Pelo with an invisible body.

The demon army has its own duties and functions, and Xu Qi doesn't want the demon army to know about his meeting with Fannuo. If this matter is known to the demon army, the attitude of the demon army towards Fannuo will inevitably change, and even be afraid, which is the last thing Xu Qi wants to see.

For the demon army's invasion of the Western Regions, Xu Qi gave a big framework, which set the tone of "how to do it", "to what extent" and "what not to do". As long as it is within the framework set by Xu Qi, what the demon clan army does is their choice. If nothing happens, Xu Qi will not directly intervene and does not want to influence.

After opening the city gate and letting the demon army enter the city of Pelo, Fannuo was not troubled by the demon clan. After all the things were done, Vano and all the members of the Knights of the Sacred Sword branch returned to their branch.

There were dozens of elite demon clans divided into four teams, guarding outside the branch of the Holy Sword Knights.

The surrender of the Holy Sword Knights branch is one thing, and the precautions to be taken are another, and the demon army did not relax their vigilance because of the surrender of the Holy Sword Knights branch.

Being in a different place, it is absolutely impossible not to be vigilant.

However, the current demon army can't take care of them for the time being. The demon army has a lot of affairs to deal with, and there are simply too many things to do to pass on news to the rear, purchase grain and grass, and transfer grain and grass.

Although the elite demon clan also has the ability to fast in Bigu, it is also a lot of consumption to fight and run around for days, even the elite demon clan needs to replenish the consumption, not to mention the demon clan that has not yet reached the realm of Bigu fasting. The demon clan is not without the means of refining Bigu Dan in the Immortal Dao, and the demand for meat is still quite large.

Fortunately, there are more cattle and horses in the Western Regions, and there is never a shortage of meat. The demon clan scattered the silver money seized from the Holy Sword Knights everywhere, so that they could not collect meat.

Not all of the demon clans on this expedition are carnivorous, and there are some demon clans who are born vegetarians. Fruit trees are scarce in the Western Regions, and if it weren't for the demon clan with the body of grass and trees in the demon clan to use a secret method to give birth to fruit trees, the vegetarian demon clan would really have to be wronged.

Although Chu Hongsleeve never opened her mouth to Xu Qi, Xu Qi also knew that it was not easy for her to take care of these things. If it weren't for Chu Hongsleeve, who was familiar with the affairs of Jiuyang Mountain, Xu Qi would not have been able to do this matter so easily.

Xu Qi also knew that such a thing as the demon clan's attack on the Western Regions could not be replicated. The demon clan was able to defeat the Holy Sword Knights all the way in the Western Regions, and the fundamental reason was that the core of the Holy Sword Knights had been defeated by Xu Qi. Such a thing is basically impossible to replicate elsewhere.

Similarly, the demon clan in the Western Regions is to fight and war, relying on the silver money and materials obtained from the Holy Sword Knights to support the operation of this huge number of demon clans.

Fortunately, such a large-scale battle may not be easily used in Middle-earth in the next seven days. When fighting against the Middle Earth Immortal Faction, there won't be many situations where this tactic is suitable to be used.

But now using such a tactic, the demon army has to make all kinds of suitable arrangements for this tactic. Compared to this, the members of the Knights of the Holy Sword who have surrendered are not so important.

However, after sorting out the affairs at hand, the demon clan will also conduct a thorough investigation of these members of the Holy Sword Knights. The focus of the investigation is whether these people have been stained with the blood of ordinary people in their hands, and whether they have done anything that violates the law of leaving the country. Once the investigation is clear, the punishment will be judged in any way, and there will be no mercy.

Although the demon clan's method of probing the soul memory is a little rougher, it can also clearly ask everything the demon clan wants to know. In the face of this kind of interrogation, the members of the Knights of the Holy Sword could not cheat at all.

When Xu Qi landed in the residence of the Knights of the Holy Sword, Vano was in his room. Xu Qi didn't alarm the minds of the others, and passed through the wall with an invisible qi and appeared directly in Fannuo's room.

"Who's ......"

Seeing a person suddenly appear in the room, Vano was startled. He subconsciously set up the battle moves, and only after looking at it did he see who it was: "The original ...... It turned out to be you......"

Vano put away his fighting stance and sat down in his chair. He was very aware of the difference in strength between the two, and knew that he didn't have the slightest chance of winning against this person.

"I said we would see you again. ”

Xu Qi nodded and said, "Congratulations, you made the right choice." ”

"Ha, the right choice......"

Fanno shook his head, suddenly looked at Xu Qi as if he thought of something, and asked, "What would you do if I made what you thought was the wrong choice?"

"If you've seen what Karal has done and can't make the right choice, it's just proof that you're hopeless. ”

Xu Qi said very indifferently: "Even if you are a talent, if you are a hopeless guy who stands on the opposite side of me, although I will feel a little pity, I will still kill you." ”

"Hoo ......"

Fanno exhaled softly, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Looks like I'm lucky, doesn't it?"

Xu Qidao: "Don't say if you're lucky or not, your choice is right." If you don't talk about that, what's next for you?"

"Next ......"

Vanno leaned back in his chair with some weakness and said, "If these people don't stop me, I'd like to go somewhere else." The faith of the Knights of the Holy Sword has been destroyed by moths and scum, I want to ......"

Before Fannuo could finish speaking, Xu Qi interrupted him: "You want to reshape the faith of the Holy Sword Knights and bring this Holy Sword Knights who have gone the wrong way back to the right path, right?"

Fan Nuo looked at Xu Qi and nodded, "That's right." The Knights of the Holy Sword shouldn't be like this, it's not the same as what I believe in. I believe that there are more people like me who are willing to build a brand new and clean Knights of the Holy Sword. ”

"Well, that's pretty much what I thought. ”

Xu Qi didn't have any surprised look, and said: "If you want to rebuild the Holy Sword Knights without changing the doctrine and structure of the Holy Sword Knights, then no matter how noble and selfless the Holy Sword Knights you establish are, I will destroy this brand-new Holy Sword Knights again." ”

Vano immediately sat up straight, frowned, and asked, "Why? A brand-new Knights of the Holy Sword without those ugly Sacred Sword Knights will definitely be able to benefit the believers! Why would you destroy such a Knights of the Holy Sword?"

Although he knew the huge gap between the two, Fanno was not a person who was afraid of death, and he had nothing to scruple about speaking at the moment.

Xu Qi sneered and looked at Fanno and said, "Do you think that those so-called moths and scum ruined the Holy Sword Knights?" No, you didn't understand at all, the Holy Sword Knights themselves have a problem. As long as this organization refuses to obey the laws of the world and acknowledge the existence of human kingship, no matter how noble and holy it may be at first, it will eventually become what it is now. ”

"Since this is the case sooner or later, I might as well extinguish this last flame as soon as possible, lest I face the Knights of the Holy Sword like this in decades, or even a hundred years. ”

Xu Qi looked at Fan Nuo, and there was a murderous undersurge in his words: "If you really want to stick to this ambition, you can do it." But what I can promise you is that I will destroy your organization once and for all. When the time comes, you will also be destroyed along with the Knights of the Holy Sword that you have rebuilt. ”

Xu Qi can imagine what kind of choice Fannuo will make, and he also has his own countermeasures. For Xu Qi, this is just another choice for Vanuo.

If he chooses the wrong one, Xu Qi will not give him another chance.

Fannuo didn't expect Xu Qi to point the question at the Holy Sword Knights themselves, and muttered, "The existence of the Holy Sword Knights...... Is there something wrong?"

Xu Qi said without any emotion: "Such a religious force that has power beyond ordinary people and refuses to bow to mundane power is the problem itself. As this religious power continues to grow, it will expand further, and because there is no external force or legal constraint, such an existence as the Knights of the Holy Sword will eventually step on the royal power. ”

"Since religion is already above the secular kingship, it is only natural that religion is above the powerless common people. Such an unrestrained Knights of the Holy Sword, as time goes by, will inevitably breed evil. ”

Xu Qi also looked at history in his original world, and there were simply too many such things in history. Not to mention what the situation was like in the Western Middle Ages when the Holy See overrode the royal power, Xu Qisuo lived alone, and the country that had never allowed religion to override the imperial power in history, once the restrictions on religion were relaxed in history, religion would breed all kinds of disgusting things.

Because of this, in the history of the country where Xu Qi lived, once there was a peak of worshipping Buddha and Taoism, it was followed by a huge shock of destroying Buddha and destroying Taoism. The reason for this is that the power of religion has lost its restraint and breeds evil, and it must be greatly cleaned up in order to stabilize the world.

This is the case that religious forces have not been able to override secular power, how much more so that religion is above secular power?

Fanno still didn't give up: "That...... What if some changes were made to the doctrine? Could the Knights of the Holy Sword be able to exist?"
