It will be three days before the demon sect retreats. Dugu Sheng escaped and Fan Jin escaped. Dongfang Qingyun was the only one left in the demon sect's camp. After not seeing Dugu Sheng for several days, Dongfang Qingyun understood that the leader was probably hiding somewhere to recuperate.
Fearing Shaolin's counterattack, he returned to Blackwood Cliff with the remaining two thousand demon sect members.
Except for a few insiders, most people were a little confused by the sudden retreat of the Demon Cult.
They had just experienced a big battle, and the Demon Cult retreated, seemingly in a hurry.
Originally, many martial arts forces were still struggling with whether to rush to aid Shaolin, but now it's better and they no longer struggle.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
No one wants to fight against the demon sect. The final casualties must be borne by themselves. Will Shaolin compensate them?
Maybe, but it certainly can't compensate for your losses.
Of course, after the demon sect retreated, the Central Plains Wulin was still a mess. Because before the demon sect attacked, the Central Plains Wulin suffered many attacks, and many local martial arts forests were uprooted.
Now that the demon sect has retreated, there has been a vacuum there, so all forces have begun a new round of fighting.
At this time, Shaolin did not stand up.
Many people were wondering, but in the face of such huge interests, they quickly forgot their doubts and entered into the fight for food.
In Qipan Mountain, it was already half a month after Su Fan received Ning Qingyu's letter.
"Dugu Sheng is seriously injured, and it turns out that the two divine monks are on the verge of death!"
Su Fan was a little stunned when he read the contents of the letter. He did not expect that the final result would be like this.
It can be said that Shaolin and the Demon Cult both lose.
Shaolin's losses must be greater. Three top monks died and three top masters were lost. Shaolin suddenly changed from the first in the world to the second or even third in the world.
In terms of number, the five top ones are indeed unmatched by anyone in the martial arts world, not even the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect plus Dugu Sheng are only four people.
However, with the Demon Sect and Dugu Sheng, his strength can be said to be the best in the world.
As a result, after this battle, there were only two top players left in Shaolin, and one of them was seriously injured. In terms of strength, they were really not much better than Huashan.
If Wuyue is added, he may not even be Wuyue's opponent.
Of course, maybe Shaolin may have a secret hand. After all, before this, no one knew that Shaolin had five top players.
But even so, Shaolin is still exhausted.
Su Fan was also very happy.
The Demon Sect is definitely not having a good time, because Dugu Sheng's plan did not succeed. Not only did it not succeed, but it was also severely injured. As a warrior, Su Fan knew very well that after suffering such a serious injury, even if he recovered, given his age, His overall strength will definitely be compromised.
The functions of the body cannot be avoided no matter what.
Internal strength is not omnipotent, it is just a kind of power refined from the essence of the human body.
Dugu Sheng has injured his origin and cannot recover no matter what.
The key is that the Demon Sect is also in internal strife. Fan Jin, the Guangming Zuo envoy, rebels at a critical moment. As a result, the Demon Sect's strength is once again weakened.
The strength of both sides has been greatly reduced. Although they can maintain their basic position, in recent years, it is absolutely impossible to be like before.
This is an opportunity for the Huashan faction and all ambitious people.
This was the first thing Su Fan thought of.
Ning Qingyu also wrote about it in his letter, and he even proposed that Su Fan would return and take charge of the Huashan Police Department's affairs in Guanzhong.
Obviously Ning Qingyu is paving the way for Su Fan. Once this is completed, Su Fan's prestige in the Huashan Sect will be greatly increased, and no one will be able to threaten his position as leader.
But Su Fan was not willing in his heart. He knew that Huashan sent Guanzhong with its current strength, which was enough.
Shaolin will be hard to stop now.
After all, they didn't dare to fight too hard. Now Shaolin needed to lick his wounds. Otherwise, a large group of shadows might catch up and eat Shaolin.
This task must be very simple and does not want to be too laborious.
On the contrary, the harvest is still great.
But now, Liaodong has begun to develop explosively, and the potential of Liaodong is no worse than that of Chuguanzhong.
Even if Shaolin's strength declines and the Huashan Sect has a chance to escape, the benefits gained will not be too high.
Because Shaolin is still the leader of the martial arts community in the Central Plains. After Shaolin has healed its wounds and regained a certain amount of strength, it will still attack the Huashan Sect.
Even if the Huashan Sect can gain a firm foothold in the future, it will still not be as good as Shaolin. Even Su Fan has to admit this.
The heritage of Shaolin is indeed unmatched by Huashan.
But in Liaodong, the Huashan sect is the dominant one. In the nine-sided land, Huashan itself involves Datong, Shanxi. Plus Liaodong, it can be said that the Huashan sect is the dominant one in the nine-sided land.
Moreover, there is also Liaodong Bay in Liaodong, which can be used as an outlet to the sea. Su Fan has joined forces with Jinzhou Guard to build a shipyard there.
Han Quan has sent him more than a dozen genuine shipbuilding craftsmen one after another. With these people and his financial resources.
You can start slowly building a sea ship.
In this era, the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding technology was the most powerful. After all, it had only been a few decades since Zheng He's last voyage to the West.
The treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the most powerful.
Although Su Fan cannot build a treasure ship for the time being, he can build a fortune ship, and there is really no shortage of wood in Liaodong.
Once a few large ships are built, Su Fan can start sailing.
In fact, there is a large port in Jinzhouwei, and many of the merchants in the south also ship by sea.
With the arrival of Su Fan, Su Fan's furs and ginseng began to be transported by sea, and they became more and more developed.
Once out to sea, the growth here in Liaodong will almost skyrocket, and wealth will continue to pour in.
Even the influence can reach the south.
Huashan has always been hiding in Guanzhong. It has also tried to go to Sichuan and Sichuan before. It seems that Sichuan and Sichuan have Emei, and Shaolin has always been involved.
Let Huashan have no power and cannot display it.
Now Shaolin's strength is declining.
It can also involve the south, and its strength suddenly expands.
Moreover, Su Fan was planning to ask Yue Buqun to unite with the Lin family. In Fuzhou, the Lin family was definitely a local snake.
Lin Yuantu is still there. Although he is not far from death, his reputation can still intimidate people.
In this way, if the two sides join forces, even if they cannot defeat Southern Shaolin, they can at least develop.
By the time the next generation of the Huashan Sect grows up, even if Shaolin recovers, so what, it can no longer be suppressed.
This was also Su Fan's plan. By that time, the Huashan Sect would no longer be a regional sect.
It could even reach the multinational level. How could Shaolin compare to Huashan at that time?
