"...Today in the world, Kyushu is in chaos, wars are happening one after another, and bandits are rampant. The more times like this, the more active those demons are. According to the information collected by our Changle Gang, Qizhou Tianxiang Sect, Qingzhou Jingangmen and Northwest The Lunar Worship Cult... Their activities have become more frequent recently."
After everyone in the restaurant calmed down, Li Bufan was the first to speak.
"In addition, a descendant of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, known as the leader of demons, has also begun to travel around the world. It is said that that young man is also a martial arts wizard who is unique among thousands. Now he has just turned twenty and is already a first-class master. , he practiced the whale sucking method in the last volume of Tian Mo Ce.
"Everyone should still remember the martial arts disaster forty years ago. At that time, the demon named Wan also relied on this magic skill."
The younger generation of disciples were still a little confused, but the older elders of the various sects couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard that name.
Li Bufan continued, "Those demons have been lurking for thirty or forty years. Over the past thirty or forty years, they have been recuperating in the dark, licking their wounds and accumulating strength. If they come back this time, they must have a big plan.
"And there are various signs that this time they are no longer fighting alone, but are joining forces with each other."
As soon as Li Bufan finished speaking, someone said, "But after the battle between good and evil forty years ago, the demon named Wan was dead, and the Wan Demon Palace behind him was also wiped out by the combined efforts of everyone. Even if there are some remnants, Still alive, and with the extremely talented successor, it would be easy to rebuild the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, but it would be impossible to restore the momentum of the largest demon sect in the past.
"In comparison, the Tianxiang Sect and the Diamond Sect also suffered a lot of damage in that battle, but they were still much better than the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. The Moon Worship Sect in the northwest hardly participated in this battle. These Nian has been developing his power quietly by staying away from the martial arts in the Central Plains.
"Devils are inherently cold-blooded and unruly. Now, the Tianxiang Sect, the Vajra Sect and other sects will no longer be willing to submit to a palace of ten thousand demons in name only."
The speaker was an elder from the Tiandao Sect. He had personally experienced the war that year and had fought against those in the demonic path, so he knew them very well. "
And his words were immediately echoed by many people.
Li Bufan also nodded and said, "Yes, we also suspect that it is not the Ten Thousand Demons Palace who is commanding and deploying the demon sects behind the scenes this time. This matter requires further investigation, but no matter what, now that the demon alliance has become a trend, we also need to Deal with it."
"It should be so." Qiu Moli from Yunshui Jingci Pavilion was the first to express his stance.
Subsequently, the leaders of other factions also expressed their approval.
But at this moment, Han Shi from the Xijian Pavilion suddenly said, "Since there is someone in charge of the demonic path, shouldn't we also choose a leader of the righteous path here?"
Lu Qinghou, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa, frowned when he heard this, "We came to the capital this time to discuss how to deal with the resurgence of the devil. We all brainstormed together and decided on the charter. From now on, we only need to follow the agreement and watch each other. Naturally, we can survive this crisis.
Han Shi shook his head, "Of course there are regulations, but no matter how thorough the regulations are, they can't keep up with the changes. If there is no one person to coordinate the overall situation and make arrangements in the middle, I am afraid that we will not be able to exert even one percent of our power. In the end, we will still be on our own. For the sake of war, it’s just a piece of loose sand.
"You must not repeat the mistakes of that battle forty years ago."
Although Han Shi's last sentence didn't sound good, it was true. Of course, the strength of the righteous path was higher than that of the demonic path, but the relationship between the various sects was very complicated, and they were both companions and competitors.
No one obeyed the other, so although they formed an alliance, they each went their own way. They suffered losses in this regard in that war.
It’s not that others here don’t understand this truth, but it is very important to elect the leader of the alliance. People like Han Shi are strong enough in martial arts and are vaguely known as the best in the world. The Xijian Pavilion behind them has also developed very prosperously in recent years. , naturally eager to try.
But there are also people whose martial arts skills are a little inferior, and their own sect is also at a low point, and they don’t want to find another ancestor to support them. Besides, it’s easy to ask gods but difficult to send them away. Who knows who the leader of the alliance will be after the threat of the devil is resolved? Will he just let nature take its course and officially take charge of the martial arts world?
So some people supported Han Shi's statement, while others opposed it. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the dispute started.
Of course, the ones who can speak at this time are not the heads of the various sects, but also the famous figures in the sect. The ordinary disciples can only listen honestly from the sidelines.
Lu Jing was not interested in who would be the leader of the alliance, and was still trying to find the demonic demons who had blended into the crowd, or people who were possessed by strange things.
At this moment, a Buddha's name suddenly came to everyone's ears.
"Amitabha."
But it was Abbot Huitong who had been silent since entering the Zhuangyuan Building who suddenly spoke.
Huitong is a well-recognized eminent monk in the world and the abbot of Xuankong Temple, the largest temple in Buddhism. Since he has something to say, everyone must give him the respect.
So Han Shi, Lu Qinghou and others all shut their mouths.
Huitong clasped his hands together and said slowly, "The poor monk believes that the demonic path is coming this time, and it is indeed necessary to establish the position of leader."
His words made many people's expressions change.
Xuankong Temple and Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, as the two oldest righteous sects, may not be the strongest, but their prestige in the martial arts world is unmatched by other sects, and the successive leaders of these two sects have acted They are also quite stable.
People tend not to speak out easily. Xuankong Temple expressed its support for the election of the alliance leader so early, which exceeded many people's expectations.
It also made many sects who opposed the establishment of the position of alliance leader secretly complain.
Moreover, everyone knew that Abbot Huitong had a close personal relationship with Qiu Moli. At this time, many people glanced at Qiu Moli on the other side, as if they wanted to read something from her face.
However, Qiu Moli remained calm.
Huitong ignored the reactions of everyone in the building and continued, "Of course, this position is not easy to sit in. In particular, you have to be able to convince the crowd. Martial arts and tactics are secondary. The most important thing is that you have to act openly and aboveboard. , Personal morality cannot be compromised.
"In terms of personal morality, no one sitting here can compare to you, Abbot Huitong." Someone couldn't help but said, "You might as well just say that you want to be the leader of this alliance."
"The poor monk will not be the leader of this alliance. I am just here tonight to do justice to the future leader of the alliance."
Lu Jing and Yan Yun looked at each other, and they both noticed something was wrong with Abbot Huitong. The latter was talking as if he was reading a book, and seemed to have already memorized the previous words.
