There are many sentient beings, and there are a few people who can be at the top and manipulate the life and death of others.

Li Yizhi, the first person in Kyushu, the head of Shushan, is counted as one, the Holy Sect Master of the Demon Sect is counted as one, and the Lord of Penglai Xiandao Island is also counted as one, and there are still people who can't think of others.

In fact, everyone has always ignored one person, a person who is weak and deceitful in everyone's mind, this person is the leader of the mortal kingdom, the ruler of tens of millions of mortals, and the man who single-handedly built the Tuoba clan Long live Tuoba Jue.

Tuoba was the emperor, and this is what makes him the most unique. Similar to the head of the sect, similar to the pure spirit, similar to the owner of Penglai Immortal Island, although they command one side, they are actually the leader of the sect, and they are leading their subordinates with the situation of the sect. The old emperor is different, he is the emperor, and everyone in the empire is a courtier in front of him, and they need to look up to him.

The life of the old emperor can be described as legendary, from a general with high achievements, to a powerful minister who shocked the government and the opposition, and finally overthrew the previous dynasty to establish a new dynasty, and then ruled the new dynasty for 30 years. The old emperor has been frightened step by step along the way, step by step, and now the empire has grown into a force to be reckoned with in the land of Kyushu under his control, and is no longer wantonly ravaged by other forces.

For the human world, the old emperor has merit, he has given mortals the capital to fight with immortals, but on another level, although he has done a lot of things, he has also gone astray and embarked on a road of no return, because he is no longer worthy to be called a human.

Walking from the side of the corridor was a young man with a tall figure and beautiful eyebrows, the young man was about the same age as Shen Fei, wearing a dragon robe, and there was a little yellow unique to the Tuoba clan in his eyes. Legend has it that the Tuoba clan has the blood of a foreign nation, so there is that lingering yellow in the depths of the eyes.

He has become younger, but the outline of his facial features is still so familiar, and the spirit in his eyes will not change, which is the most favorable evidence to show his identity. There is no doubt that the young man who appeared on the side of the road was the old emperor Tuoba Jue, the actual controller of the current empire.

Sure enough, sure enough, he had fallen into the devil's path. Shen Fei thought to himself.

Of course, he has fallen into the devil's path. How can a person grow against age, how can a person overcome the torture of disease and become a young and strong body. If he did, it would be a reversal of the situation, which was not allowed by the Heavenly Dao, and there was another possibility, that is, he was no longer human.

There are really not many abnormal powers that mortals can come into contact with, and the immortal path is high in the top and the top immortals will not easily enter the mortal world; the power of the Buddha comes from asceticism, and the ordinary people with the six impure roots are simply unable to bear it. Because of this, mortals are obviously surrounded by many abnormal powers, but they always maintain their mortal identity, they can't touch the source of power, and even if they do, they can't have it.

Comparatively speaking, the creatures that transcend human beings are most easily accessible to mortals are demons and ghosts.

The old emperor spent his whole life using troops abroad, exterminating countless demon clans, and expanding the borders of the empire for thousands of miles, for what! Almost most people think that he is protecting the peace of the human country by squeezing the enemy, and protecting the people to live and work in peace and contentment; but this is actually only one of the reasons, there is another reason, that is, the old emperor wants to use this way to capture demon beasts and collect forbidden techniques held by other peoples, and the old emperor wants to explore the boundaries that life cannot reach, that is, the so-called realm of creating miracles.

Why is this so, because the life of mortals is limited, and he wants to be the king of the ages, not to let future generations remember his history forever, but to truly have power forever and eternally, and live forever beyond the shackles brought by the mortal body.

In order to achieve this goal, the old emperor frequently ordered the great general king to use foreign troops in the form of warfare, and he declared that he would set foot on the land that no one had set foot on before, plunder treasures that no one had ever seen before, and have slaves unimaginable to his predecessors, so as to transcend the mortal world and do whatever he wanted.

To put it bluntly, it was to plunder slaves and obtain samples for research!

Attacking the Dragonfly Clan, attacking the Bodhi Clan, attacking the Rakshasa Clan, attacking the Shark Clan, attacking the Inspiration Clan, the old emperor turned the cities of the demon clan into ruins, the support behind the Buddha is one of the reasons, and the more important reason is that these races similar to humans are obviously close to human beings, but their lifespan and ability are far superior to mortals, and the old emperor wants to find the truth of longevity by studying them. This is how the village was established. The old emperor knew that the gods and Buddhas had abandoned themselves, they were both selfish, and would not tell mortals how to master power, he could only use technology and science to find the truth about the differences between living beings.

The old emperor hunted and killed the demon clan, imprisoned the demon clan to torture and study them, and explored the secret of their immortality, and in the process, the Tongtian Sect came into being. There is also an opportunity that there are a group of scattered immortals in the mortal world, most of these scattered immortals are people who can't get along in the orthodox immortal world, and the old emperor got some simple immortal techniques from them by wooing them, and then combined these immortal magic methods with the Buddhist talismans to create the Five Elements Talisman Technique.

In addition, he used the scattered immortals to capture the demon beasts alive, and through long-term experiments, he studied the method of using the talisman technique to control the demon beasts for his own use.

The reason why the Tongtian Sect is doing evil everywhere is actually intentional, and they are also studying humans while studying demon beasts, so as to find out the difference between the two. For this reason, burning, killing, looting, and pretending to do all kinds of evil are actually to hide people's eyes and ears.

The leader of the Tongtian Sect is the old emperor, and the sect is mainly divided into two factions, one is the patriarch who knows the inside story, and the other is the newcomer who was gradually recruited later. The role of the newcomers is to complete the various slaughters and attract the attention of the Buddhas and Taoists, while the elders continue to conduct secret research, find the difference between humans and demons, and explore the possibility of having more powerful powers.

Tongtian Sect is an existence that must not be known to the world, and at the beginning of its establishment, the old emperor sent people who could be trusted to take charge, and in his mind, there were only a few people who could be trusted by himself. Tuoba Phoenix is one, and Tuoba Jun is also one, both of them are members of the royal family and are his half-brothers. In fact, Tuoba Jun joined the Tongtian Sect much earlier than Zhiming and Linghu Hangzhou, and the two thought that it was the secret of the unity of man and beast that was researched within the sect to lure Tuoba Jun to join the organization, but they didn't know that these secrets were originally researched by the members of the Tuoba Jun organization, and he controlled them behind his back, because of Tuoba Jun's support, Shangqiu City would be built into a strong fortress of the Tongtian Sect.

Over the past few years, the research on the demon race has made great progress! The old emperor discovered through bloody experiments that human beings can transplant the organs of the demon races such as the Rakshasa clan, the Inspiration clan, the Wuxi clan, and other demon clans that are close to human physique, so he began to carry out more daring experiments, and fused the organs of many demon clans that were completely different from human beings, with greater energy and larger bodies, with human beings. In the process, he endured countless failures, and finally found that the human body could not withstand the organs of an adult demon beast, and human beings could only barely withstand the demon power and obtain an immortal body when the demon beast was waiting to give birth, and let their flesh and blood fully integrate with the son of the demon beast.

This is fusion, a technique that the Tongtian Sect has researched in recent years, by allowing humans and demon beasts to become one, gaining powerful power and achieving the goal of eternal life. Even if you know the method, there is still a problem to be solved, that is, after the fusion, the human and the demon are in the same body at the same time, and the human will is easy to be devoured, and the human who is devoured is the three-headed bird demon who sniped Shen Fei along the way, they have the vitality that even exceeds the original body, but they have lost their self-will, and the incarnation of the demon is controlled by the talisman.

Correspondingly, if the will of the human being is strong enough, the will of the demon beast will be suppressed, and the body formed by the fusion of the two will be dominated by the will of the human. Therefore, the Tongtian Sect intends to carry out two kinds of fusion, the high-level will destroy the embryo in the womb before entering the demon beast womb, and after entering themselves, let the demon beast reorganize the embryo with its strong vitality, so that the newborn embryo will be completely fused with itself and cannot pose a threat to the ontology; 。

The two fusions have led to two diametrically opposed destinies, with the Tongtian Cult committing numerous crimes and being unspeakable, but in fact it is the upper echelons of the empire who are behind the scenes, and they are the culprits who brew evil and treat human life as if it were a mustard.

At the beginning of its establishment, Tongtianjiao was suppressed by the local government, and the old emperor continued to weaken the power of the local government, expanding the military power and allowing the army to replace the yamen in charge of the security of the territory. Seeing this, the old emperor feared that one day he would lose control of the local gentry, so he ordered Tuoba Phoenix to create another evil organization, the Faceless Killer Group.

The establishment of the Faceless Killer Group was the brainchild of the old emperor alone, and in fact, only a person like him could come up with such a brutal method to torture his subordinates. In order to get a super assassin who can successfully complete any task, he ordered Tuoba Phoenix to skin all the orphans collected from all over Kyushu, and the collection of orphans was based on the pretext of the folk selection of concubines, and he picked out the orphans who no one loved and stripped them together, and then he had no face, and then went through layers of tempering, screening and turning into a ruthless killer, turning into the sharpest knife in his own hands, to threaten and monitor the gentry in the world, so that they did not dare to do too out-of-the-ordinary things, so that their disappearance for no reason became normal. At the same time, because in the name of choosing concubines, it is necessary to select some beautiful girls to enter the harem, and these people also have to go through careful selection and many tests, and finally select some of the most powerful and talented girls to enter the palace as their personal bodyguards to complete various secret tasks, and the other part is sent to all parts of the country to become the eyeliner installed in all parts of the country. Sister Tiger is the eyeliner placed in Jinling City, Junya is the eyeliner placed in the imperial capital, and Concubine Rong is the personal bodyguard of the old emperor.

The two major organizations of the Tongtian Sect and the Faceless Killer Group were thus formed, both of which were by-products of the old emperor's research on the secret of immortality, but they completely changed the situation of the human kingdom and became two forces that could not be ignored in the human world.

In recent years, the Tongtian Sect has mastered the technique of combining humans and demons, and the old emperor has gained eternal life and no longer has to worry about the question of his successor, so he began to re-examine his long-standing policies, and began to re-evaluate the current situation, estimating the impact on the connivance of the princes.

He thinks that the power of the princes is too big to be eliminated one by one, and the easiest way is to let them kill each other and weaken each other, and the other advantage of this is to see which side the courtiers are on.

In order to achieve this purpose, the old emperor secretly assigned the beauty killer Qianqian to approach the three princes, after successfully gaining the trust of the other party, through the impeachment of the prince Zhen on Jinling City, the three princes were sent to investigate, in the old emperor's view, the three princes are recognized as ambitious and able to endure a prince, although his power is not large, but there are a lot of secret collusions, the impact can not be ignored, the old emperor wants to open the bloody scene of the battle for the throne through his death, so that the battle between the princes will develop in the direction of either you die or I die.

He had already laid a trap and sent someone to kill him on the eve of the arrival of the third prince's meritorious reward. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are only a handful of people who have the ability to kill the three princes, the old emperor's reward came too quickly, and the three princes are relatives of the emperor, and no one wants to touch him, only those who want to make the situation more chaotic will kill the three princes.

It was just that no one could have imagined that the one who wanted the situation to be more chaotic was the current Banzai Ye, the biological father of the third prince. Tiger poison still does not eat children, the old emperor can be said to have lost his conscience in doing this, but if you think about it, you can understand it, after all, the royal family is originally a cemetery. Before, he was beyond his strength, and seeing that he was gradually aging, he could only let go of cultivating the princes, allowing them to become bigger and have their own power to mediate in the middle; now that he has eternal life, it is impossible for the princes who have worked hard to cultivate before to ascend the throne again, and the throne will naturally continue to be done by himself, so the old emperor set out to kill all the sons he cultivated with his own hands.

As he expected, as soon as the three princes died, the emperor was in chaos, the princes were suspicious of each other, and the tension seemed to be the same as fire and water, and the battle that had been secretly was now put on the foreground, and the means of competition among the princes became more and more diverse.
