Western Region.
"How about it? Is the situation in our Western Region still optimistic?"
Ye Merci asked the old Taoist priest.
"Holy Lord, the situation in our Western Region has stabilized."
The old Taoist priest said.
"That's good."
Ye Merci breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the Purgatory Blood Sacrifice Formation appeared, the Western Region also suffered heavy losses. The two major sects, Buddhism and Taoism, were the first to bear the brunt and suffered unprecedented losses.
However, the foundation of the Western Region is not much weaker than that of the East China Sea, so it is not difficult to calm the situation.
"Once the catastrophe is over, the pattern of our Western Region should also have undergone significant changes."
Ye Merci asked.
Although the situation has stabilized, the pattern of the Western Region will also inevitably change.
"Well, that's right. Some forces were completely destroyed by the Purgatory Blood Sacrifice Array, while some forces also took this opportunity to expand their power and their status was greatly improved."
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"This is normal."
Ye Merci nodded as expected.
This kind of thing is absolutely normal. The Purgatory Blood Sacrifice Formation destroyed many major forces in the Western Region. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come.
"However, Zhu Si is a little restless."
The old Taoist priest frowned.
"Zhu Si? You are one of the ancient forces in our Western Region that has been passed down for a long time but has been hidden from the world."
A flash of light flashed in Ye Merci's eyes.
The new forces are not scary yet. What is really scary are the ancient forces that remain hidden from the world. They have a long inheritance, profound foundation, and unpredictable strength.
Zhu Temple is one of the most powerful ancient forces in the Western Regions.
Buddhism and Taoism have always been the representative forces of the Western Region, and the power of the Western Region has always been in the hands of the two major forces, Buddhism and Taoism. However, after this catastrophe of the Purgatory Blood Sacrifice Array, the influence of Buddhism and Taoism in the hearts of people in the Western Region has The prestige has obviously been greatly affected, and this is also the moment when unrest is most likely to occur.
Those ancient forces are powerful in themselves. Due to various reasons, they hide from the world and recuperate in secret. However, we do not rule out the possibility that they will take this opportunity to seize power.
"Yes, Zhu Temple has been recharging its strength over the years. In terms of strength alone, it is no longer weaker than any of our Taoist or Buddhist sects."
The old Taoist priest said.
"Is this Zhusi already so powerful?"
Ye Merci couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He is the Holy Lord of the Western Regions. When he took control of the Western Regions, the Western Regions were united. Although they did not dare to be monolithic, they were almost the same. The reason for this was not only because he was the supreme leader, but also because of Buddhism and Buddhism. The existence of two major forces of Taoism.
Buddhism and Taoism are representatives of two different faiths. There has never been any force in the Western Regions that can compete with them.
Ye Merci is a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner. He was born in Buddhism at that time, and then by chance, he received the exercises taught by Han, and he began his journey of both Buddhism and Taoism.
Although the old Taoist priest and the old monk are now the leader of Taoism and the leader of Buddhism respectively, in fact, when they were young, they were both disciples of Ye Mercy.
In other words, Taoism and Buddhism are now Ye Merci's intimate forces. Because of this, Ye Merci firmly sat on the throne of the Holy Lord of the Western Regions.
"After this catastrophe, its power expanded rapidly. So, now one-third of the power in the entire Western Region has been controlled by it."
The old Taoist priest said solemnly.
"Um?"
Ye Merci's expression changed slightly.
One-third of the forces in the Western Region were controlled by Zhu Si. This situation was beyond Ye Merci's expectation.
Is Zhusi already so powerful?
"The old monk has been busy dealing with those old guys in Zhu Temple these days. He is very busy. I also plan to go over and help him."
The old Taoist priest sighed.
Zhu Temple is also a power of the Buddha, so naturally it has to be dealt with by the Buddhist sect who is also the Buddha.
The reason why the old monk did not appear was because he was busy dealing with this Zhu Temple.
"Is Zhusi so arrogant now?"
Ye Merci frowned and asked.
Let the old monk take action personally, and Zhu Temple is obviously trying to seize power openly.
"Zhu Temple itself is very powerful. The reason why it is hidden from the world is to wait for the opportunity. It was because of you, the Holy Lord, that they were afraid of you. Otherwise, how could they be safe?"
"After deliberately releasing the news that your deadline was approaching, Zhu Si began to make moves. If he hadn't been concerned about the existence of our Taoism and Buddhism, I'm afraid Zhu Si would have been unable to resist taking action."
"After the catastrophe of the Purgatory Blood Sacrifice Array, the hearts of our Western Regions were in turmoil, and the reputation of Buddhism and Taoism was damaged. Zhu Temple took the opportunity to stabilize people's hearts and expand its power. Its ambitions were completely exposed."
The old Taoist priest said.
"Interesting, it seems that Zhu Si wants to take complete control of the Western Region this time."
Ye Merci smiled and said.
As soon as it took action, it controlled nearly one-third of the forces in the Western Region. It was obvious that Zhu Si had premeditated it, and one-third of the forces might not be enough to completely satisfy Zhu Si. Its real goal should be the entire Western Region.
"The Zhusi family is now the dominant one. If Taoism and Buddhism had not joined forces to suppress it, I am afraid that it would now control more than one-third of the power in the Western Region."
The old Taoist priest said.
After all, Taoism and Buddhism are still the dominant forces in the Western Regions, and no matter how strong Zhusi is, they cannot be conquered in one bite.
"In that case, do you have any good ideas to deal with Zhu Si?"
Ye Merci asked the old Taoist priest.
"Holy Lord, in my opinion, Zhu Si is very powerful, and it is not strong enough to conquer it now. If we attack it directly, it will definitely be a bloody battle, so it is obviously not possible to deal with Zhu Si with a strong attack."
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said.
If there is a war with Zhu Si, the better result is that Buddhism and Taoism join forces to defeat Zhu Si, but then Shang Qian will lose 800 to himself, and the worse result is that both sides will suffer losses. No matter which outcome is the result, the Western Region will lose. Its own strength will be consumed by the Western Region itself. Once its strength is weakened, the Western Region will inevitably attract the attention of all parties below.
The old Taoist priests and old monks were worried about this and did not dare to take action against Zhu Si. Zhu Si also saw this clearly and dared to expand itself so unscrupulously.
"Come on, you should be able to do something about it."
Ye Merci glanced at him and said.
"If it doesn't work hard, we will take other measures."
The old Taoist priest held his beard and said.
Apparently the old Taoist priest already had an idea.
"Oh? Come and listen."
Ye Merci asked.
"Zhu Si has always cared about one thing."
The old Taoist priest said.
"what?"
Ye Merci couldn't help but ask.
"That thing is our destiny-defying pond in the Western Region."
The old Taoist priest said.
