Everyone knows that the sects are definitely not as peaceful as they seem, and they are constantly fighting with each other.
It's not that the monks of the sect are duplicitous and like fighting among themselves, but the living environment is such that without fighting, they can't get resources, or even keep them.
How many sects that thought they could be pure and abstinent ended up being lost in the long river of time? Too many to count!
It seems that the people of Tianchan Sect are more unreasonable and dangerous. Guishan Monastery is much kinder, right? But in fact, if we break down the affairs of the sects in Jingxi one by one, the bloody footprints left by Guishan Monastery all the way to the first-class sect are no less than those of the Tianchan Sect.
The two sects just look different.
Of course, there is no clear definition of right or wrong here. It depends on what angle you look at it from.
Jingxi now only has two first-class sects, Guishan Monastery and Tianchan Sect. They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. In the end, the result is just a balance of power, and no one can do anything to anyone.
This kind of balance of power is actually very common in the cultivation world, especially between sects confined to the same area. Because the strength of each family will also be affected by the talents of its disciples. For example, the sudden appearance of a genius disciple will cause a certain generation to be particularly powerful. But in the long run, the strength of a sect still depends on the amount of resources it has.
With more resources under control, the sect's strength will increase over time, and at the same time it will be able to occupy more resources, embarking on the path of the strong always becoming strong.
But when the resources in an area have reached a very sensitive level and there is no way to occupy them arbitrarily, what should we do?
The answer is to take someone else's. But the weak cannot be robbed wantonly. It's okay to have excuses, but they can't do it often, otherwise they will be united by the underlying sects to attack them, and not everyone can bear the public wrath.
Therefore, in the end, there will often be a situation like the current dilemma between Guishan Monastery and Tianchan Sect: a competition between the strong.
If you lose, you will inevitably give up some resources.
The key to winning or losing is still the hard power of the sect.
When the strength of the lower level is equal, it depends on the comparison of the strength of the upper level. The strength of the upper level was originally balanced, but since last year, this balance has been broken.
Luo Xuan, the leader of Tianchan Sect, broke through the barrier, successfully broke through from the sixth level of Xuanhai Realm to the seventh level of Xuanhai Realm, and successfully entered the back realm of Xuanhai Realm!
Although Huang Yansong, the sect leader of Guishan Monastery, entered seclusion at almost the same time as Luo Xuan, he failed to successfully break through in the end, not even reaching the threshold of the next realm.
Failure to break through is normal, especially for monks in the Xuanhai realm. The failure of Huang Yansong, the patriarch of Guishan Monastery, was actually quite lucky. Because he did not really enter a breakthrough state during the entire retreat, the so-called "failure" was insignificant and would not endanger his life through the "Xuan Hai Tribulation".
Successful breakthroughs are rare. And stepping into the seventh level of Xuanhai also means that the leader of Tianchan Sect has officially entered the ranks of the strongest monks.
The balance of power was broken, and Guishan Monastery soon felt the pressure from Tianchan Sect.
This pressure will not just be isolated, but will come from all directions.
Because the entire sect power in Jingxi will cause waves due to the breakthrough of Tianchan Sect leader Luo Xuan. The supporters will naturally become the vanguard, oppressing and testing the small sects protected by Guishan Monastery, and then form a confrontation between the two forces.
When they are balanced, they are each stable. Once they are broken, they will be connected one after another.
Today Guishan Seminary understands this deeply. Even during this period of time, nearly one-third of the sects that were originally following them had changed their sects and gone to the Tianchan Sect. This directly reduced the prestige of Guishan Monastery and also reduced a large amount of "tribute".
The last "Book Tasting Conference" was attended by the sect masters of Guishan Monastery and Tianchan Sect in person, but neither came this time. One is guarding the house, and the other is looking for opportunities.
Don't think that the Tianchan Sect will only slowly suppress and encroach. As long as there is a chance, they will not mind a raid on the mountain gate and cause a murder. As long as the victory is clean enough, who can do anything to them?
Lin Dashan was holding a wine glass. When he heard Yu Aofeng's sarcastic words beside him, he naturally understood what the other party was sarcastic about, but he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "Shen Hao and my sect disciple Nie Yun are close friends of life and death. They are brothers and sisters. It was because of this friendship that Shen Hao had the opportunity to become a registered disciple of Lao Shufeng of Guishan Monastery.
Who would have thought at that time that Shen Hao would now become the Archdeacon of Foreign Affairs of Fenghong Villa and take charge of all matters related to the sect? After all, this is all the result of my Guishan Monastery. Whether it's taking advantage of the situation or luck, it's our own business, what does it have to do with others?
It's a pity. I heard that Elder Yu's grandson also had a chance to marry Shen Hao, but something went wrong.
Isn't this the destiny of time? "
Yu Aofeng's aura rose and fell, and he looked at Lin Dashan with cold eyes. The death of his grandson Yu Shengjue was a huge pain in his heart, and he still can't let it go. Even he has always been brooding about Shen Hao. He always felt that his grandson's death was inseparable from this person, and he even had murderous intentions. In the end, if the Yueying Tower where he obtained the information hadn't suddenly disappeared, and Shen Hao was rising in the Xuanqing Guard and couldn't take action, he would have killed him long ago.
Now Shen Hao has become the foreign affairs deacon of Fenghong Villa, specializing in handling matters between the Jingjiu Dynasty and the sect. This entry point has to make the Tianchan Sect also be wary. That's why Yu Aofeng laughed at each other, mocking Guishan Monastery for using the personal relationships of its disciples to take advantage of Shen Hao's current power.
Yu Aofeng didn't expect that his ridicule would fail, but Lin Dashan would slap him back, and he would talk about his scars without any scruples.
"Lin Dashan, the death of my grandson must be closely related to your disciple Nie Yun. Are you trying to remind me not to forget this grudge by your sarcastic remarks?" Yu Aofeng didn't want to burn the "fire" either. He turned to Shen Hao, whom he mainly suspected, and brought Nie Yun with him.
Lin Dashan did not lie to the other side. After all, the two families have been fighting for so many years. Who doesn't know the answer?
"What a joke! If your unlucky grandson dies, he will die. What do you care about the disciples of Guishan Monastery?"
It was just a casual conversation, and it was no big deal to quarrel with Lin Dashan for a few words. What was on my mind was something else.
Shen Hao's attitude when he came over just now made Lin Dashan think about it. Let's take a look at the attitude of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect towards Shen Hao now. Maybe Guishan Monastery can borrow greater and more practical momentum from Shen Hao, or from Fenghong Villa?
If we can really borrow the "power" of Fenghong Villa, we can at least temporarily stabilize the situation of Guishan Monastery in Jingxi, right?
However, you can't open up a mountain of words just by asking for help, and you can't always talk about the relationship between Nie Yun and Shen Hao. You have to give them some benefits of seeing each other.
What benefits can be given?
It seems that I heard Nie Yun say that Shen Hao is very interested in the underground palace of Wushou City. If...
