Chapter 125: Famous throughout the world (Part 2)
Sure enough, the remaining members of the Eastern Demon Sect withdrew back to their sect and reported the cause and consequences of this defeat to the higher-ups of the sect. Unsurprisingly, it caused a panic. Finally, it alerted several generations of Eastern Demon Sect's ancestors, who suppressed them forcefully after hearing the news. And a hush-hush order was issued to everyone who knew about it, regardless of their status, and they were not allowed to talk about it anymore. Anyone who violated it would be punished with the death penalty of having their cultivation level revoked and their souls refined with demonic fire! Only then did he finally suppress it.
Thanks to the fact that this matter was only circulated among a few high-level officials and was not leaked, it did not cause large-scale chaos. After the emergency was dealt with, one of the Patriarchs was surprised and asked the two elders who had escaped: "Who is this You Longzi? How can he be so lucky with such a high level of cultivation?" These Patriarchs have been in seclusion all year round. People who have comprehended the supreme demonic path have ignored foreign affairs for hundreds of years, and no one would disturb them unless something extremely important happened. Yunlong's Youlongzi clone had only been practicing for nearly two hundred years, so naturally it was not known to them.
In fact, what practitioners fear most is not powerful opponents, because no matter how powerful the opponent is, they will always find a way to deal with it; the most troublesome thing is those opponents who are lucky and have great opportunities, not because they are too advanced to deal with, but because you will always guess. Without knowing their potential, these people may not have high initial cultivation, but their strength will improve greatly every time they suffer setbacks; they are all born with a period of luck from heaven and earth, and are born with great luck and long luck, and there is no way to really kill them. On the contrary, they will continue to grow stronger and anyone who goes against them will have no good results in the end. There are many examples like this in history, so the founder of the Eastern Demon Sect asked this question.
The two elders also looked at each other in confusion. They only knew some rumors about You Longzi and didn't know how powerful he was until this time, so they couldn't explain why. Seeing that they didn't know anything, the Patriarch spent his energy to search for information about You Longzi by calculation. This method of calculation can be used by any cultivator with some skills, regardless of whether it is good or evil.
But what disappointed him was that even though he had spent two armies of vitality, was mentally exhausted, and was about to vomit blood, he could only sense a ball of white light and several majestic, vast, and sacred waves with unclear depths in his soul induction. The breath and other information were in chaos. This is a phenomenon caused by the other party's behavior being better than yours and disrupting your own destiny. And those few auras showed that the opponent was not just one person but several top masters!
The Patriarch was greatly surprised that one Wandering Dragon had caused them such heavy losses. What if there were a few more? So I immediately became cautious. After repeated calculations, spending hundreds of years of cultivation, and the soul degenerated to the middle stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, I had no choice but to announce that this person's strength was too unpredictable and that the Eastern Demon Sect could not deal with it alone. It’s better to provoke less.
Seeing that the Patriarch had made such a great sacrifice to come to such a conclusion, everyone couldn't help but start thinking about how to deal with it - they still believed in the abilities of the Patriarch. After a series of discussions, research, and quarrels, the elders jointly decided to conceal the news of Yin Changsheng's death and only announced that the leader was attacked during a duel with the enemy. It was decided to temporarily close the mountain gate and seal the mountain for ten years. In fact, this loss is indeed not small, and it will probably take dozens or even hundreds of years of rest and recuperation to recover, and they also need to use this period of time to elect a new leader.
As one of the giants in the world of cultivation, every move of the Eastern Demon Sect is followed by people. Although others may not know the true situation of Yin Changsheng's battle with Yunlong, actions such as sealing the mountain behind closed doors can still be learned quickly. So various sects began to speculate on the true intention of the Eastern Demon Sect's move. After all, no one would believe it if a single wandering dragon could cause such a big blow to the Eastern Demon Sect. They all felt that the Eastern Demon Cult must have other motives for this move.
Because the gap between the two sides is really too big: Yin Changsheng has been famous all over the world for hundreds of years, and his reputation is also top-notch among the masters of the level of refining gods and returning to the void; but You Longzi used to have little reputation. Apart from knowing that he has the cultivation level of the late stage of refining the gods and returning to the void, very little is known about the magic weapon, cultivation techniques, and sect he came from, which makes him very mysterious. However, no matter how mysterious he is, no one thinks that he can defeat Yin Changsheng. As for the fact that he used his unique skills to trigger heavenly punishment in advance and blast Yin Changsheng to death, no one can guess.
However, even if all the sects regard this matter as a conspiracy of the Eastern Demon Cult or keep a low profile, it does not prevent them from paying more attention to You Longzi. Because no matter what, a cultivator in the late stage of refining the gods and returning to the void is worthy of attention in the human world where immortals are almost extinct, not to mention that he is evenly tied with Yin Changsheng in name, and both sides suffer. Therefore, the senior leaders of each sect have included You Longzi in the list of "people who cannot be easily provoked" and have told their disciples not to offend him if they meet him.
No matter what era it is, gossip spreads the fastest. I don’t know from what channels the actions of these sects are found out by interested people and spread widely. And You Longzi's name also became famous all over the world in a short period of time, becoming a powerful person who shocked the whole party.
Although this was not Yunlong's original intention, he didn't think it was a bad thing. After all, it will be much easier to do something if you have a good reputation. For example, frightened by his reputation, the Northern Han Dynasty defeated several waves of dying resistance from the Later Jin Dynasty in a short period of time, completely defeated the Later Jin Dynasty and annexed it.
During the occupation, not only the practitioners of the Eastern Demon Sect did not come out to cause trouble, but also the casual cultivators, evil cultivators, and small and medium-sized sects did not resist excessively but obediently accepted the Northern Han Dynasty's annexation and rule of the Later Jin Dynasty. The reason why they are so respectful is because there is a master in the opposing camp who is said to be comparable to the leader of the Eastern Demon Cult. They are afraid that their excessive actions will offend this master and bring disaster to themselves and the sect - the strong are always respected. of.
Of course, there are not no masters in these sects, but they are all people who cherish feathers. No one has the confidence to remain undefeated under You Longzi. If they lose, their reputation will definitely be in jeopardy. Moreover, the Northern Han Dynasty promised not to hinder them from preaching and recruiting disciples, and would treat them equally, so they would not risk angering You Longzi by going against him. No one is a fool. Anyway, your own interests have not been harmed much and it is within the tolerable range. There is no need to take risks.
In this way, Yunlong's first expedition with the secular army achieved great results. He not only captured an acquired spiritual treasure, but also gained a huge reputation. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune. And such a battle will not be the last.
