At that time, the Akatsuki organization fell apart and split into two factions, starting a civil war.
One faction was headed by Xu Yue, and the other faction stood behind Duan Mutian.
But in fact, there were still several people who did not express their attitude at that time, let alone take sides.
They are not trying to take advantage of the situation, but they don't understand the behavior of both parties, and they don't understand why their former comrades and brothers and sisters ended up in such trouble.
Among them, Gu Cheng, who was the first to die, had such a state of mind.
Later, when the conflict completely broke out, these people were so disheartened that they neither helped Xu Yue resist nor Duan Mutian's pursuit. Instead, they left silently and disappeared from the world without caring about worldly affairs.
Mo Dao and Gu Cheng are both such people.
As soon as they left, it would be a hundred years, and there would be no more news from heaven and earth.
For those who have not experienced that era, the names of these people are so strange and misty, and they have never even heard of them.
White crane, that's it.
"So, do you understand now?"
Back in time a hundred years later, in the dock on the shore of the lake, Duan Mutian looked at the absent-minded White Crane with a smile on his face.
The Imperial Demon Sect's military advisor shook his head numbly, slowly took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and opened it with empty eyes.
The names of many forces are written on the bamboo slips, recording the characteristics of their sect's techniques, their general historical inheritance, and their positions in the Immortal Realm.
"Tianmoling, the giant of the Nanling Immortal Domain, is at odds with Yidi Mountain, and its martial arts are mainly demonic... The current sect leader is..."
"Three Thousand Sword Sect, a giant in the Eastern Immortal Realm, with outstanding swordsmanship and extraordinary smelting methods... The current top disciple is Lord Shang..."
"The Temple of War, a giant in the Tianzhou Immortal Realm, is suspected to be the inheritance of a certain ancient immortal war immortal. His techniques are domineering and his techniques are unparalleled..."
After turning over the introduction of these forces, on the last page of the bamboo slips, there is a bright list, each name is shining and full of oppression.
Immortal list.
After these names, their realm cultivation level, skill characteristics, personality preferences, historical achievements...
The records on it are very detailed, not only listing all the advantages and disadvantages of these people, and what to pay attention to when fighting with them, but also including the rumors and anecdotes of each person, and digging almost to the bottom of their origins.
If the person on the list sees this bamboo slip, he will definitely be surprised, when did he expose so many weaknesses, and how come his secrets are clearly known to others!
These intelligence and data are the basis for Bai He's calculations and plans, and they are the wealth that he is proud of.
But now, it looks a little pale.
"Could it be that everything I have done is in vain?" Bai He's hands were shaking slightly, and his mind gradually became unstable.
"It's not all wasted effort, it's just that the strength and weakness between people, how can it be determined solely by the ranking on the Immortal Ranking?"
Duan Mutian shook his head. He had just glanced casually and had already seen all the contents on the bamboo slip. At this time, he said slowly: "Especially the people who can be on the list, who is not a peerless talent? If we rely solely on these intelligence data to make a conclusion, I’m afraid I will die miserably in the end.”
On the side, Zong Qing had already finished another bottle of wine. When Duan Mutian said this, he answered: "This is true. There are no weak people who can be on the list, especially the top ten!"
"top ten……"
Bai He had already been confused by Duan Mutian's lesson. After repeating it now, names that he had seen or never seen flashed through his mind mechanically.
"Well, the gap between the top ten is very small! For example, if Mu Tian and I fight, he will be ranked 4th and I will be 10th, but you can ask him, is he sure he can beat me?" Zong Qing smiled. road.
"Of course not." Bai He didn't need to ask, Duan Mutian answered first.
"Besides, when Mu Tian and Mu Chuxuan fought on the Sunny Sea, the two were clearly tied. It could even be said that Mu Chuxuan had the upper hand, but Mu Tian was ranked one higher than her. Why?"
Zong Qing gestured with his fingers and said eloquently: "In addition to Mu Tian's progress over the past hundred years, the restraint of his skills is also a big reason! If Mu Chuxuan was against other people, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do that. The results of the battle are coming!”
"Gu Xingzhou and Hong Xiu, who I just mentioned, are not on the list, but if they were to compete, what would be the result? Although Hong Xiu may be slightly weaker, Brother Gu can easily make it into the top five!"
"Look at the list again. Although the courtesan from Wanhua Valley is ranked 16th, she has only played once in the past few decades. No one knows what her current level is."
"Meng Jin is ranked 24th, but with his qualifications, it will be a matter of time before he enters the top ten."
"Mo Dao is ranked 30th, but I dare say that his strength should be on par with us."
"Xiao Hu is 27, which is far enough back, right? But if he works hard, maybe he can kill me too! Damn, when I talk about this, I get angry. That day..."
"Okay, brother Zong, that's enough."
Duan Mutian interrupted him with a smile, then looked at Bai He, who looked thoughtful, and taught: "Although you are the brains of the Emperor Demon Sect, you are too young and have experienced too few things... Nothing can be done alone. Relying on data and intelligence, we can achieve everything.”
"I just observed that you care too much about the ranking on the Immortal Ranking and the comparison of the strengths of various geniuses."
"With all due respect, if all the hidden strong men in the Immortal Realm are born, there may be a big reshuffle on the Immortal Rankings. How will you calculate? How will you plan?"
After the words fell, Bai He stopped talking completely.
If he still doesn't understand what the two of them mean, then his so-called emperor demon sect think tank is simply too unworthy of his name.
Seeing that the other party was deep in thought, Duan Mutian nodded slightly and said, "I am not telling you this to teach you a lesson. I just saw that you have fallen into a misunderstanding, so I am just reminding you."
"Thank you Daozi for your advice!"
Bai He bowed. Although he was still digesting the re-established values, he was no longer as confused as before.
"No need to say thank you. After all, this time, many of our plans were made by you. If something goes wrong, it will be irreversible."
Duan Mutian clenched his hands slightly, his eyes were serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Almost everyone in Xiao has the ability to influence the overall situation. When you think about your strategy, you must be cautious! No matter how cautious you are!"
Hearing this, Bai He felt awe-struck and felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
After a long time, he took a breath, recalled the names he had never heard of before, and asked softly: "Three adults, why are the members of the Xiao organization so strong? Now that I think about it, Xian Jue a hundred years ago Aren’t half of the people on the list from this organization?”
But this time, it was no longer Duan Mutian who answered him, but the voice next door.
"The reason is not because of Xiaoqiang, but because our generation is too strong!"
