When Chi Yao came to the Zhulu Mountain covered by clouds and fog, he had no serious intention of paying homage to the mountain.
Zhulu Mountain is not a mountain peak, but a mountain range, or a group of peaks. In addition to the main peak, there are six equally large mountains. In the past, when the Demon Sect was at its peak, every mountaintop had a first-class master who was in charge of its strength. They were no less powerful than those famous first-class sects in the world.
This is why the Demon Sect was able to achieve such overwhelming prestige, single-handedly suppressing many top famous sects such as Longhu Mountain, Landuo Temple, Wudang Mountain, Wu Family Sword Tomb, etc. It suppressed the good with evil and enveloped half of the world with demonic power.
But time has changed, and with the sudden disappearance of the ninth-generation leader Liu Songtao, the six great demons under his command were killed by Qi Xuan frame at the Demon Slaying Platform of Longhu Mountain. In addition, the chaotic war between the nine kingdoms of the Central Plains was ended. All these have greatly affected the survival soil of the Demon Cult.
After all, when the Nine Kingdoms are at war, if you commit a crime in one country, you can rest easy as long as you escape abroad. But it was different now. There was only one voice left in the Central Plains, and the space for them to move around was greatly reduced. Once he commits a crime, unless he leaves the Central Plains, he has only two choices: death or joining the Liyang Dynasty.
Therefore, a large number of demon sect members began to pour into the Beimang Jianghu. Over there is the grassland dynasty, which advocates strength and the weak and the strong. There are not many moral restrictions, and it can be called the paradise of demons.
Therefore, most of the peaks of Zhulu Mountain are now empty. The people who remain are not good or bad, but they are all people who are truly content with loneliness and seclusion. The noisy guys have all gathered on the main peak.
Chi Yao arrived at the foot of the main peak of Zhulu Mountain without any obstruction and patted Pi Xiu on the head: "Let's say hello to them first and announce our arrival."
"Hoar!!!!"
Pixiu's neck was raised, the dragon's mouth opened wide, and a thunderous roar exploded from the foot of the mountain, and the sound was so powerful that it went straight to the top of the mountain.
When Zhulu Mountain was first established, it imitated the rules of the court. Although people in the Demon Cult were accustomed to being free and loose, this imitation was only superficial, but there were still guard checkpoints one after another on the white jade steps from the foot of the mountain to the top. , and it weighs ninety-nine and eighty-one.
But when this roar came out, the forty or fifty levels in front of it were immediately abandoned, because all the demon cultists guarding the level were frightened to the point of peeing.
This is not a rhetorical description, but a factual description.
Because the little Pixiu's roar was not only shocking, but also had its natural ability to ward off evil.
Pixiu's gift of warding off evil spirits is a metaphysical concept.
As the saying goes, "What is metaphysical is called a tool, and what is metaphysical is called Tao." And because "Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao," the definition of "evil" is actually very broad. Generally speaking, it is more of a psychological Subjective definition.
Of course, this subjective definition has two ultimate sources. One is the affected person. If he has a ghost in his heart and thinks he is evil, he will be hit.
The second one is the magician's Pixiu, but the concept of Pixiu does not come from its self-thinking, but from its communication with the way of heaven. Things that are harmful to heaven and earth are evil.
This wave of judgmental roars directly destroyed less than half of Zhulu Mountain's combat effectiveness.
After all, there are very few people who can still remain upright in the Demonic Way and firmly believe that everything they think and do is righteous.
On the white jade steps.
A man in red robe with flowing white hair and a handsome face with a hint of sinister aura that made it difficult to tell his age seemed to vaguely hear something, and his eyes widened: "What's going on down there?"
"Hey, don't worry, brother, maybe my people are back, hahaha!"
Opposite him, a bald monk with a sinister face and a sinister look took a bite of the roasted beef leg in his hand, and the oil splattered everywhere.
"Hunt monk, please be careful. If you dare to soil my clothes, I will kill you!"
Zhu Yaozhi frowned slightly and warned coldly.
After hearing his warning, the monk just smiled "hehe" and did not reply, but he also did not deliberately restrain his actions.
However, in the Demon Cult, this kind of behavior of not fighting back after being reprimanded in person was already an obvious sign of weakness. This made Zhu Yaozhi feel very proud and did not continue to pursue him.
As the oldest demon present, he has been immersed in the realm of the second-grade minor master for many years and has even vaguely touched the threshold of the first-grade master. He considers himself to be the closest existence to the position of leader.
But the other demons don't think so.
Zhu Yaozhi feels that he has unparalleled qualifications, but the magic path is not a place where seniority is ranked, but the naked law of the jungle.
If you don't enter the first level, you can't get rid of the natural laws of old age, physical weakness, and depletion of Qi and blood. Some realms will not become stronger the more you accumulate them.
Moreover, the scope of the word "demon" is too broad, and everything that is not recognized and tolerated by the mainstream can be included in it.
For example, there is a strong man in a cloth robe who is carrying a huge Yanyue knife and sitting two seats away from Zhu Yaozhi. He is a water bandit who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Although he never thinks that he is a good person, for Zhu Yaozhi This kind of cruel, vicious, lewd guy who loves to play with boys and girls and who is said to stay young by sucking their blood is the most despised.
At this time, seeing Zhu Yaozhi showing off his power, he smashed the handle of the knife on the ground with a clang, and shouted angrily: "Come here, let me go down and see what's going on?!"
"Crazy Ke, please speak softly! You're scaring my little baby."
Next to Ke Zhanyue, a woman who was as elegant and charming as a green fox complained lightly. She neither pretended to be delicate nor cooed, but when she heard her voice, no matter whether it was the meat-eating monk or the laboring one, Zhu shook his head, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he frowned.
Compared with this person's subtle charm skills, the previous behavior of comparing the Butterfly Lady to a fox demon was simply an insult to this group.
The catkin, which shone like white jade with a warm luster, gently brushed the tail of the little white fox in his arms, causing the little guy to hum happily.
"Qingqiu,"
Zhu Yaozhi smoothed his white hair, showed what he thought was the most handsome smile, and said to the woman holding the fox in his arms, "Would you like me to hug your little fox too?"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the little white fox. He didn't know whether he was looking at the fox or the bulging and elastic fox nest.
A cold light flashed in Qingqiu's eyes, and he refused coldly: "No need, Xiaobai is afraid of life."
But Zhu Yaozhi didn't know what kind of illness he had. This time, he really seemed to be obsessed with sex, and he still refused to let go: "It doesn't matter, once it's new, it will be familiar again, I have a lot of patience."
As soon as these words came out, Qingqiu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and several other demons around him also showed expressions of watching a show.
If it were an ordinary sect, if the quarrel between the top officials reached this level, at most one party would just walk away. But the Demon Cult is different. They will start fighting if they disagree.
Because if you don’t fight, you will be seen as weak and can be bullied. Not only will the people who bully you today become more aggressive, but more people will pounce on you like hungry wolves and bite you, eating all the bones and scraps you eat. Nothing left.
This time, Qingqiu was forced into a corner. If she didn't want to be eaten to the bone later, she had to respond forcefully to Zhu Yaozhi's provocation!
And this is exactly the purpose of Zhu Yaozhi.
He wants to establish his authority!
The Demon Sect has been in decline for more than a century, and has only managed to regain some strength in recent years. After gathering the six heavenly demons, it has aroused everyone's yearning and desire for the position of leader of the Demon Sect.
However, the leader of the Demon Cult has never had any election rules. They advocate the law of the jungle where the weak eat the strong. They have always followed the principle of whoever wins, simple, direct and violent!
But not now.
First of all, the six of them are all second-grade, and there is no qualitative difference in their realm or strength.
In other words, if two of them get into a fight, no matter who wins or loses, the most likely outcome is that the third person will easily pick the peach. After all, they are a demon sect! Their characteristic is to use whatever means necessary. If you have the opportunity to lead your men to fight, who will fight alone with you?
The leader of the Demon Cult must not only be able to fight, but also be powerful!
So the six demons gathered on the white jade steps and glared at each other. No one wanted to be the one who stood out.
This is the fundamental reason why they formulated the rule "the one who gets the strange beast wins".
But now, Zhu Yaozhi is not calm anymore, because he got the news that all the men sent out before have been wiped out.
This means that in this fight, he has been eliminated early.
As the oldest of the six demons present and the one who considers himself to be the strongest, can he be willing to do so?
Of course not!
So he decided to mess with the agreement he had made before.
However, you need to pay attention to skills in how to mess up. Although a considerable number of people in the Demon Cult do not take promises and contracts seriously, and even take pleasure in breaking the contract to make a profit. They will also laugh at those who suffer losses because of keeping their promises.
There is nothing wrong with doing this when running a gang, but to become the leader of a force, credibility is still very important.
Therefore, Zhu Yaozhi cannot just say that he does not recognize the previous agreement without any reason. Being inconsistent may lead to direct siege on him.
So his choice is to stir up conflict and distract with another thing. After the fight started, everyone began to lose their minds. At that time, they were so excited that they would not admit it even if they said they didn't admit it. On the contrary, it might be considered that they were really serious!
So he first provoked the meat-eating monk on the side, because that guy specialized in physical training, was strong and durable, but had no other threats and the risk was the lowest.
But Monk Nun, who looked rough, was extremely calm at this time, and would even rather show weakness than get angry, which made Zhu Yaozhi quite regretful.
Although the best target was gone, the topic had been raised, and Zhu Yaozhi began to look for the next candidate.
Ke Zhanyue, who answered first, looked quite irritable and obviously dissatisfied with himself.
But Zhu Yaozhi didn't get angry at him, not because of anything else but one thing - Ke Zhanyue was too strong and he wasn't sure.
Not to mention the current demon sect that has no owner, even the demon sect in its heyday had a very different internal organizational form from ordinary sects. In the beginning, they imitated the imperial structure to establish the religion, and their internal mountain-top doctrine was prevalent. To put it bluntly, the six heavenly demons under the leader are the leaders of six small demon sects, and under their own command, they also have a similar mountain culture.
Today, this tradition has not changed, and the new generation of six heavenly demons who are qualified to gather here also have their own power. For example, Zhu Yaozhi’s Beauty Sect, Monk Hun’s Demon Buddha Cave, etc., are all notorious. Among these six major forces, only one was incompatible with the others, and that was the group under Ke Zhanyue.
They were originally a group of water bandits entrenched on the Guangling River. Dozens of water villages almost spanned the entire Guangling River. They monopolized the waterways from Qingzhou to Western Chu and Dongyue, and they were arrogant.
When the Western Chu State was still there, they also sent troops to suppress them, but each time they failed to achieve much, which made them more and more famous, and they were called the leaders of the underworld water bandits.
But this situation changed after the Liyang Dynasty unified the Central Plains.
This is not because Liyang's army is really much stronger than the original Western Chu, but more because the vassal king who is now stationed in the old land of Western Chu and has jurisdiction over the Guangling River is ruthless.
As we all know, a simple truth is that the biggest reason for the unrest among bandits is not because the bandits and water bandits are really better at fighting than the officers and soldiers, but because they have an intricate relationship with the local area and can obtain intelligence in advance and avoid encirclement and suppression. If that doesn't work, except for the most famous water bandit leaders, others can even go ashore and pretend to be ordinary villagers and fishermen.
When the officers and soldiers left, they could once again take off their clothes and travel across the rivers, lakes and seas.
Integration of civilians and bandits. In Western Chu, which has a particularly strong cultural atmosphere, they will study what causes the lower class people to become bandits, and will try every means to identify the gangsters among them. These things are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it takes a lot of money to move out the army. In addition, the water bandits may have some secret dealings with local wealthy families, officials and gentry, so they often end in vain.
But Guangling King Zhao Yi's bandit suppression routine was different.
He was even more cruel than the gangsters. He would massacre villages at every turn, and would rather kill by mistake than let go. His blood even dyed the Guangling River red at one point.
Under such cruel methods, the water bandits could no longer stay still.
So they, together with their families, left Guangling River under the leadership of Ke Zhanyue, climbed to Zhulu Mountain and occupied one of the deserted hills.
It can be said that they have the largest number of Guangling water bandits among the six demonic forces today, but they also have the most scruples, and they also pay the most attention to rules in doing things. In addition, Ke Zhanyue himself is strong enough, and the Yanyue Sword can be said to be full of blood. Zhu Yaozhi still hopes that he will overcome obstacles for him in the future!
Then his eyes turned again and fell on the woman beside Ke Zhanyue, Qingqiu.
Qingqiu's own origins are unknown, and most of his subordinates are women. Most of them are good at one or two tricks of illusion and charm, and many of them are the inheritance of the ninth stream from the side sect.
So Zhu Yaozhi planned to take advantage of her and bring Qingqiu himself into the house. The women under her command could even be used as bargaining chips for other people's transactions or rewards for their subordinates.
Buzz!
Qingqiu stood up slowly, his clothes bulging and his breath full of energy.
When Zhu Yaozhi saw this, he also let out a sad, triumphant laugh like a crow, and his white hair was taut, like thousands of sharp swords.
Just when the two were at war with each other and were about to fight in the next second, a lazy voice mixed with curiosity, confusion and contempt came to the ears of everyone present:
"Oh? I heard that the one you admire the most is [Human Cat] Han Diao Si, and you even imitated his Three Thousand Red Silk to create a unique trick called White Hair Three Thousand Feet. Is this the trick?"
