Chapter 1: A Good Story (Preface)
Great Xia Dynasty, the first year of Tianshun.
A once-in-a-century event has happened in the whole world!
What is a once-in-a-century experience?
In the eyes of the world, the Demon Sect, which has been a disaster for more than 200 years, has been eradicated by the joint efforts of righteous people from all walks of life, and finally the peace of the world has been restored.
Everyone toasts to celebrate and share the prosperity.
In addition to the four major sects that safeguard the interests of the righteous path, even the princes of the dynasty have drawn their swords to help.
The temples and rivers and lakes, which have been fighting openly and secretly for nearly a hundred years, have worked together for the first time to share the same hatred.
This protracted battle, which lasted nearly three months, was described as an earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods according to later historical records.
Speaking of this demon sect that made people all over the world talk about the tiger's color, it was originally founded by a first-class grandmaster at the peak of martial arts, and then gradually developed and expanded.
Since the establishment of orthodoxy in the Great Xia Dynasty, the Demon Cult has continued to this day, for more than two hundred and thirty years, standing in the southwest of the dynasty, becoming a grotesque existence in the rivers and lakes that is both good and evil.
It is rumored in the world that the first Demon Sect Leader who called himself the "White Emperor" was originally the prince of the previous dynasty and a talented martial arts wizard.
Later, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the prince of the former dynasty, who had already practiced martial arts, entered the palace three times to assassinate the founding emperor of the current Great Xia Dynasty.
Although his ambition was not rewarded, he raised his arms and shouted, gathered the remnants of the former dynasty who were immortal in the heart of the thief, captured the Yufu City of the former Shu Dynasty, and took the towering Ziyang Mountain in the south of the city as his own, occupying the land as the king.
Later, he founded a sect called "White Snow Sect", called himself the White Emperor, changed Yufu City to White Emperor City, and lived alone in a corner.
Later, the Great Xia Dynasty settled in the Central Plains, and the imperial power was stable. Even though the White Emperor, who was bent on recovering the great cause, had great magical powers, and after a few years, his martial arts cultivation reached a higher level and reached the legendary realm of "land immortals", but in the face of the Great Xia Dynasty, which tended to be peaceful at that time, even if he had the intention to kill the thief, he was no longer able to return to heaven.
The Great Xia Emperor also sent troops to attack the White Emperor City several times, but under the command of a martial arts master, after the city and mountain that already occupied the dangerous terrain and were easy to defend and difficult to attack were built and protected, the imperial army repeatedly returned in vain.
After a hundred years, after the hard work of many Great Xia emperors, the river was clear and the sea was peaceful.
This anti-thief sect, which was once the nail in the eyes of the dynasty, actually existed like this, and it was generally at peace with the imperial court.
Until more than 120 years ago, after the founding patriarch of the Demon Sect, that is, the first generation of the White Emperor's soldiers, was relieved on the top of Ziyang Mountain, the entire White Snow Sect experienced an internal turmoil.
Since then, the White Snow Sect, which once had the feat of robbing the rich and helping the poor, has also confirmed the notoriety of the "Demon Sect" until today.
What puzzled everyone in the rivers and lakes was that since the first generation of the White Emperor, who had reached the realm of martial arts as a "land immortal", was relieved on the top of the mountain, in the past hundred years, the entire Demon Sect has actually produced many masters, just like the mushrooms after the rain, and they have sprung up more than once!
Almost every ten years, a first-class master of the Demon Sect will emerge and shock the world.
Not only did the demons of the Demon Sect go down the mountain to cause trouble to the people, causing a headache for the imperial court, but also the people in the rivers and lakes and martial arts began to have a little awe of this group of wild people who had no law and did evil, and some even went to join the Demon Sect.
Even the four major sects, which have been rock-solid for hundreds of years, have been a little overwhelmed by this talented demon sect.
As a person of "martial arts mountaineering", I really know too well the weight of the four words "first-class grandmaster"!
The warriors of the rivers and lakes are divided into three products and nine realms.
The Great Xia Dynasty was already martial, and the ordinary Jianghu sect, if there was a second-grade grandmaster in it, it would be famous even within a state.
Looking at the various forces in the rivers and lakes, over the past hundred years, if any one can cultivate a first-class master, it will inevitably be a high-ranking faction on the Megatron side!
Even if it is within the four major sects with profound heritage and orderly inheritance, each of them has a first-grade master, and now I am afraid that the number of hands will not exceed one.
It is probably that everything in the world must follow an ethereal heavenly principle that prosperity must decline!
The arrogance of the demon sect demons for nearly a hundred years, just when they have just begun to restrain in recent years, they have ushered in the catastrophe of the four major sects uniting all the righteous ways of the rivers and lakes and the imperial court to jointly besiege and crusade.
That's why there was this unprecedented earth-shattering battle.
Half a year ago, when the Demon Sect had another "first-class master" unexpectedly came out, the four major sects that finally couldn't hold back had a secret meeting.
Since then, all sects and factions in the rivers and lakes have successively received "demon removal posts" from the four major sects.
At the end of the post, they are all signed by the contemporary heads of the four major sects.
Later, I don't know if they had received instructions from the imperial court, and they also sent troops to participate one after another, as if they wanted to get a piece of the pie!
On the day of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the righteous path heroes and princes led by the four major sects of the Northern Tianchi Sword Sect, the Southern Shenqi Sect, the Taishan Daode Sect, and the Western Kunlun Sect besieged Ziyang Mountain and the White Emperor City.
After more than 70 days of hard fighting, the invincible White Snow Sect was wiped out, and nearly 10,000 Demon Sect people were all annihilated.
In this war, although the demon cult forces that caused disaster were eradicated, the righteous people from all walks of life suffered heavy losses.
Especially the magnificent battle of the city, which was extremely tragic!
According to a warrior who participated in the battle to eliminate the demon at that time, they fought against the demon sect demons thirty miles outside the White Emperor City, and in only three days, they fought under the White Emperor City and on the bank of the moat.
Just when everyone thought that the evil was invincible and the demon cult was invincible, they couldn't break through that city in the next two months.
Not only that, but after the righteous path masters forcibly attacked the city many times, there were actually a situation of massive casualties that there was no return.
Not only because of the fact that the White Emperor City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, but also because of the geographical advantage of a moat as a barrier.
Instead, at the head of a small White Emperor city, there are no less than ten first-class masters of the Demon Sect.
On two occasions during this period, the last white emperor who was said to be dressed in white and superior to the heavenly immortals came to the city in person.
Yaoyao looked at the righteous path army, and everyone was shocked to find that behind the White Emperor, who was really brilliant, there were a full fifteen generals standing in one word, and according to the momentum, except for the transcendent and peerless White Emperor, he must be a "mountain top realm" great first-class grandmaster.
The fifteen behind him are first-class masters.
The Demon Cult has been arrogant for a hundred years, so that's it!
Speaking of the right path, the heroes of the world led by the four major sects, even if they are shocked by the strong strength of the Demon Sect and it is difficult to have a countermeasure for a while, they will definitely not be intimidated by this group of demons who harm the rivers and lakes, let alone retreat.
Just after the White Emperor appeared in the city for the second time, ten days later.
After repeated deliberations among the leaders of the righteous path, the prelude to the majestic "Battle of the City" finally began.
In the first year of Tianshun, on the day of the beginning of winter, the dawn was just after dawn.
Outside the White Emperor City, one after another righteous path masters rose from the ground, their momentum was like a rainbow, and they flew over the city.
Start the siege!
The same fifteen people, all of them are first-class grandmasters!
Subsequently, dozens of martial arts masters climbed to the top of the city in turn and fought to the death with the Demon Sect.
The battle of the city did not come to an end until three days later.
It was a river of blood at dusk.
The gate of the White Emperor was finally slowly lowered, and the righteous army entered the city.
After that, after half a month of fighting, the righteous people attacked the old nest of the Demon Sect, the top of Ziyang Mountain.
Since then, there has been no Snow Sect in the world.
What is surprising is that since the sect leader "White Emperor" appeared in the city for the second time, it seems to have disappeared!!
Even if he could hear the battle of the city head that shook the sky and thundered dozens of miles away, he never appeared.
It wasn't until everyone hit the Demon Sect's helmsman Yang Palace that they were shocked to find that the unparalleled and invincible White Emperor had died on the main hall seat with bleeding eyes.
At the same time, there were many corpses in the main hall, among which there were two Demon Sect elders and several Dharma protectors, who died here together.
Many years later, the majestic battle has become a matter of people's after-dinner conversation, and even the storyteller in the corner teahouse, after adding oil and vinegar, can be broken down into more than a dozen chapters back to the story, as a few days after talking about the capital, there are still people who are puzzled by the death of the White Emperor, and there are still sighs! So that some extremely clever storytellers, assuming that the White Emperor does not die and participates in the battle at the head of the city, can extend a lot of stories, but in the end they are all happy endings where evil is invincible.
Although the Demon Eradication War eradicated the White Snow Sect, which had been established for more than 200 years, the victory on the side of the righteous path could only be described as miserable.
Not to mention those nameless soldiers who died on the battlefield against the two armies, there are less than one-third of those generous grandmasters who walked down the head of the White Emperor alive in the battle of the city!
At the same time, a group of heroes also emerged in that war.
Of course, the strength of the heroes who can survive is naturally undoubted.
The most famous is the young sect master of the contemporary Tianchi Sword Sect, Yang Tianque.
In the beginning of winter, which is destined to go down in history, the merry man who is also in green clothes and white, holding the famous sword "Chixiao" that has not appeared for many years, took the lead in rushing to the city.
Three days later, he was the last to walk down the city, covered in blood, with a woman in a blood-stained dress behind him.
It was the only sword immortal woman from the Divine Qi Sect who rushed to the head of the city.
Later generations only knew that Yang Tianque's white-clothed demeanor was not inferior to that of the White Emperor, but no one knew that it was this equally young grandmaster woman who blocked a sword for him, which gave him the opportunity to succeed as the sect master in the future.
Later, the woman's injuries healed in only half a month, and the two of them joined forces to enter Ziyang Palace, taking the lead in attacking the forbidden land of the Demon Sect coveted by the warriors of the rivers and lakes - the mountaintop stele forest.
It's just that Yang Tianque has risen to the top since then, becoming the youngest sect master in the history of the Tianchi Sword Sect, and while being admired by tens of thousands of people, the green shirt and sword have become the object of admiration of countless women in the rivers and lakes.
And the woman of the Divine Qi Sect back then, she has not been heard from since the war, and there is no trace!
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the sword fairy woman who was once pinned on by the Shenqi Sect had high hopes for her, and later the old injury recurred and Xiang Xiaoyu died; some people also said that the woman was injured again when she attacked Ziyang Palace later, and the martial arts realm plummeted, and after returning to the Shenqi Sect, she married a woman and lived an ordinary life; some people even said that the woman left Ziyang Mountain with Yang Tianque, who had the courage to go to the Tianchi Sword Sect and asked......
Accounts differ and opinions vary.
The most talked-about thing is that the woman is also sinking fish and geese, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and Yang Tianque is a talented woman, born a pair, in the side by side in the two have long been in love with each other, but the creation makes people, and in the end can not live and fly together, which has become a big regret in the rivers and lakes.
But there are also people who raise the bar from it, saying that the Tianchi Sword Sect and the Shenqi Sect are facing each other in the north and south, although they are not related to each other on the surface, they are actually incompatible, how can they form a family.
The crowd is leisurely, and the ears are endless.
No matter what the actual situation is, in that bloody war, there is finally such a good story that has been passed down to the world, fresh and swaying.
