Chapter Twenty-Four: A Strange Period of Peace
The inaugural meeting of the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance made many small and medium-sized sects rejoice.
Because, the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance also accepts small and medium-sized sects like them to join, which means that they can also be protected by this powerful alliance.
Although the Great Qin Cultivation Realm has been relatively stable for more than a hundred years, they have more or less a number of how terrifying this troubled world is.
The big sect can't guarantee safety, let alone a small and medium-sized sect like them?
What is worse than the Great Gate Sect is that even if they are willing to give up the Dao system to join those super sects, people will not look down on them.
Now that the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance was established, it immediately became the largest of the several forces, and under the protection of this alliance, it was undoubtedly much safer.
What's more, they can retain the autonomy of their own sect.
The only ones who are unhappy are those four super sects.
Especially unhappy, it is the Demon Hunting Villa.
The two Returning Void Monks were captured, sealed their mana for two hundred years, and were scolded by the Great Elder Xuanyuan in front of so many people, which can be described as a shame and disgraced home.
After the conference, the people of the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance found the monk of the Demon Hunting Mountain Villa and handed over the two envoys who had sealed the mana to him, and did not forget to leave a sentence:
"You can do it for yourselves in the future!"
Although the monks of the Demon Hunting Mountain Villa were angry, they didn't dare to say anything.
When the news reached the ears of Tie Tang, the owner of the Demon Hunting Villa, he was also very angry and lost his temper.
But after losing his temper, he still warned those subordinates not to run to Daqin's side in the future, not even to the Chu State.
The Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance, which integrated the twelve major sects, was too big and formed an overwhelming advantage over the Demon Hunting Villa. To provoke them at this time is undoubtedly very unwise as an approach.
In order to counter the threat of the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance, he even began to seek alliances with other super sects.
Only the alliance of the two super sects can suppress the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance.
Now there are only five super forces left in the cultivation realm of Yunmeng Continent, with the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance as the center, to the south is Tietang's Demon Hunting Villa, to the east is the Chaoyang Sect of Tangtai Ming, to the west is Luo Hanxiao's Jinsha Sect, and to the north is Qiu Wuxi's Dianshimen.
Among these five forces, the Great Qin Cultivation Alliance, which integrated the twelve cultivation sects, was naturally the most powerful one, and there were more than eighty Returning Void Cultivators on the surface.
As for the other four super sects, the number of Returning Void Monks under them is more than fifty.
The largest one, Qiu Wu's disease-free Dianshimen, has nearly seventy monks under the door.
Dianshimen is a nascent sect, but its predecessor was the Longfu Trading House, which was known as the third super force in the Yunmeng Continent back then, and at that time, it was the only force other than the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao and Tianyi Gate that had more than ten Returning Void Cultivators.
However, at that time, they were just a trading house, not a sect, and they did not recruit disciples.
If you dare to start a sect, you may be wiped out by the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao or Tianyi Sect.
However, more than 100 years ago, seeing the troubled times coming, their boss did not hold back the desire in his heart, and quickly established the Dianshimen, and then expanded rapidly, with his profound heritage, he swept away many major sects in the north, and became the strongest of the four super sects.
Now the cultivation world regards the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect as a super sect, and in terms of the strength of the sect, the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect is undoubtedly the worst one.
However, everyone knows that the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance is actually the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect in charge, and if you talk about the actual power in your hands, the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect is the leader among these five families.
The Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance shouted the slogan "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people", it made those super sects temporarily put their minds at ease.
The Heavenly Machine Sword Sect is not without ambition for expansion, but they can bring together the various sects of Great Qin to defend against foreign enemies, but they can't drive them to the battlefield to fight for themselves.
Defending oneself against foreign enemies is not the same thing as expanding outward for the benefit of others. Although the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect has gained a lot of favor for not encroaching on other sects for more than a hundred years, that favor has not yet reached the point where those sects can work hard for the interests of the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect.
If you want to expand and become the strongest in this continent, you still have to rely on your own strength.
However, the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect has a secret realm of time, as long as there is a relatively peaceful environment and fights with others to develop, it is not scary at all.
The longer the peace, the more beneficial it will be to the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect.
In such a situation, it is natural not to choose the path of expansion with greater risk.
No matter how big the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance is, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack, there is no threat to others, and everyone can treat him as if he doesn't exist, at most, he will bypass this place in the future.
Demon Hunting Villa felt tremendous pressure because it had offended the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect and wanted to seek an alliance. However, the three super sects did not feel this pressure, and did not support their idea of seeking an alliance.
However, the Chaoyang Sect, a super sect in the east, was willing to talk about the alliance with the Demon Hunting Villa, but Tai Ming meant that the Demon Hunting Villa would assign a large area in the territory of the Great Wu Empire to the Chaoyang Sect, and there were many important mines in it, so it was naturally rejected by Tietang.
If he fails to seek an alliance, Tie Tang can only restrain his subordinates, hoping that the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance will not look for his bad luck.
And the Great Qin Xiuzhen Alliance, as promised by the Great Elder Xuanyuan, did not seek expansion, but only buried its head in development.
The background of the Demon Hunting Villa's intervention in the Great Qin Cultivation Realm is that the major sects other than Great Qin have all been divided by these four super sects, and if they want to bypass Great Qin and continue to expand, they will face other super sects, this kind of lose-lose thing, they naturally won't do it, so they aim at the biggest fat piece of the Great Qin Cultivation Realm.
Now that the Great Qin Cultivation Alliance has been established, the biggest fat has become the biggest muscle, which has shocked all the sects at once, and the cultivation realm has entered a very peaceful situation very strangely for a while.
The five super forces divide the Yunmeng Continent into five parts, no matter which one it develops, it will inevitably violate the interests of other super forces.
No sect is willing to fight with a sect of the same level, it will only hurt both sides and let the rest of the sects take advantage.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, they all chose to stop expanding and began to bury their heads in development.
After more than a hundred years of turbulent times, the Yunmeng Continent has entered an era of peace again.
But everyone knows that this is due to the relative balance of forces on all sides, and each other has concerns to form an illusion of peace, this peace will not last long, as long as a force comes out to break this balance, peace will be far away from the Yunmeng Continent.
Until one day, a power appeared to rule the continent.
