Chapter 404 Cleanup
Zhang Cheng's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhead, and he watched the Dharma Master die in shock.
Not only Zhang Cheng, but all the believers of the Chitian Society were stunned in place, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief.
"Bata."
An iron boot landed on the clay statue and grabbed Chen Zhengcai's head. He stared fiercely at Chen Zhengcai's head with his eyes closed: "I have been staring at this place for a long time, and finally a big fish came to me."
Chen Zhengcai's head suddenly opened his eyes, and he silently opened his mouth: "Chi Tianjun!"
"Buzz."
A pale arm stretched out from Chen Zhengcai's open mouth.
With the ferocious face, the cracked corners of the mouth, and the surge of blood and tears, he stabbed the opponent in the chest.
"Bang."
The head exploded completely, sending the man wearing official boots flying away.
The violent explosion finally woke up the gathered believers.
Zhang Cheng didn't know what flew into his arms. He quickly took a look and saw that it was the palm of the magician and the wooden statue he was holding. At this time, he didn't care about anything and rolled and crawled away.
"Don't let any of them go. These evil disciples of the Tianli cult are all traitors and traitors!"
An angry roar sounded from the ruins blown out by the explosion.
Immediately afterwards, the large group of people began to arrest the fleeing Chitian Society believers. Among them were soldiers wearing talisman armor, police officers wearing police uniforms holding fire and water wands, and flag officers from the Demon-Conquering Yamen.
"No, that's not the case."
"It shouldn't be like this, we are not a cult, we are not, we are for peace."
"We are believers of the Chitian Society."
Zhang Cheng murmured, his expression no longer dull, but disbelief and misunderstood grievance. He chewed all the complexity in his mouth and swallowed it hard.
He ran away frantically, crawled into the dog hole and crawled into the underground ditch full of smelly mud.
…
"Sir, what should I do with these incense offerings?"
"Move them all."
"Leave no cultists behind."
"But there aren't many young people here."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? All cultists will die."
"The general has an order. If you kill an incense master from the Tianli cult, you can be promoted to the third level. All the glory and wealth will be in this battle."
"They seem..."
The young detective hesitated. They seemed to say that they were not followers of the Tenri Sect, but that they were members of the Chitian Society. However, before he could finish speaking, the old detective beside him quickly covered his mouth.
"Whether it's the Chitian Society or the Tianli Sect, as long as it's a cult, it's all rebellious officials and traitors."
"Liangzhou and Yongzhou fell into the hands of the Tianli Sect. The people were displaced and their lives were in ruins. Should we just kill the Tianli Sect? The order given to us by the imperial court was to strangle all cult associations."
"Do you want to go to the Southland again to see the injustice done by those cults who followed the Tianli Sect in rebellion?" The demon-conquering flag officer with blood on his chest glared angrily and said coldly: "Kill me!"
"kill!"
The cry of killing did not last long. For ordinary people, soldiers and policemen who could use talisman armor were invincible.
In a short time, a large number of the Chitian Society believers who had no time to escape were killed. The corpses were piled up into a small hill, and the blood turned into a red curtain and covered the ground.
"Cut off their heads and build them into a temple to serve as a warning to others."
Trapping souls and pouring black-red blood, the demon-conquering flag officer wearing iron boots recited magic spells and collected the ownerless incense and wishes around him.
…
January seems like an instant.
Xuzhou.
Juling County.
In the huge Taoist temple, Chi Xuan looked at the information written on the jade slips. This was the information brought back by the Chi Tianhui's intelligence system. Speaking of which, it was He San who held the information about Chitianhui.
After they parted that day, He San originally planned to go to Chiyang Palace to seek shelter, but he was kidnapped by water bandits on the way there. He used the power given to him by Chi Xuan to kill the water bandits and then started saving people.
It wasn't until Chi Xuan took action to win over Long County and Qi County, and wiped out the surrounding bandits and restless forces on a large scale, that He San, who was begging for work with the same sick people, was discovered.
He San, who had made a name for himself, had become the leader of a force. When he saw Chi Xuan, he led everyone to him and stopped showing up in front of others.
Chi Xuan once asked him why he didn't go to Chi Yang Palace to look for him earlier.
The answers I got were interesting. He San said that he was not a veteran, so he could only rely on the care of the Taoist priest if he went alone. It would be better to wait for him to make a name for himself, then he would feel at ease.
"Within a month, the massive Tianli Sect uprising was extinguished by the imperial army. They were so desperate that they could not escape. Even the condensed divine body was defeated by the people who took action."
"I didn't expect it." Chi Xuan used his magic power to activate the jade slips, waved aside the pale rippled shadow that appeared in front of him, and picked out the most useful information in his opinion.
However, this is not what Chi Xuan is most concerned about. He has no good impression of the Tianli Sect. The several confrontations were provoked by the Tianli Sect. He did not take action because it was not time yet.
The collapse of the Tianli Sect was within his expectation, but Chi Xuan was not prepared for the large-scale purge of believers by the imperial court, the dispatch of so many powerful monks, and the overwhelming army.
When the imperial court wiped out the Tenri Sect, it also killed many small societies. Among them, the one that was most affected was the Chitian Society, which was relatively close to the Tenri Sect.
Sixteen Dharma practitioners died, and the altar owners and believers lost a total of more than 100,000 people.
Among them, an Incense Tao monk who was comparable to the foundation-building realm died while protecting the believers.
Even though Chi Xuan ordered to shrink its power, the imperial court did not seem to intend to let go of the Chi Tian Society. Instead, it used the pretext of annihilating the Tenri Sect to continue to attack other associations and churches.
The more famous ones are the Tensheng Sect in the South, which was born out of the Tenri Sect, and the Shiro Shrine entrenched in the northwest.
The White Shrine is an ancient church, and the imperial court has always wanted to destroy it, but it is like a weed, growing again with the spring breeze. They believe in the White God, who is said to be the sun in the sky.
According to the speed at which the Tianli Sect was destroyed, it is estimated that the Tiansheng Sect will not be able to leave the Southland.
The Chitian Society behaves in a low-key manner, and they will not make any noise when preaching abroad. Instead, they talk about the original intention of peace. If you want to live a peaceful life, you can join the Chitian Society and go to Xuzhou.
However, keeping a low profile is useless after all. There are always some people who can't wait to show off their power after they get it. Obviously, the leader of Tianli Sect is such a person, so that even the condensed divine body is broken up.
Chu Ge had already told him about the Liang case.
Chi Xuan was not afraid. There were caravans traveling in the seventeen states, and there were escort agencies transporting incense under the cover of escorts. They collected so much incense that even he himself didn't know what the divine body he had cultivated was. How strong.
Fear would do him no good at all, so it was better to face the opponent directly.
He is different from the upstarts like Tianli Sect who have risen suddenly.
What he relies on most is the magic weapon in his hand and his solid cultivation.
The true cultivation level has reached the late stage of foundation building, and it is only a thin line away from the peak. As long as the resources are sufficient, it will take some time to reach the peak of foundation building.
In the past few years, Chi Xuan refined the three counties of Xuzhou according to the method taught to him by Tu Shanjun.
The entire three counties of Xuzhou have long become his incense dojo. Unless someone with great power uses extremely powerful means to cut through the solid incense dojo, he will be able to stand firm with the support of 150,000 people in the three counties. The place of defeat.
…
General Chu Liangyong was cleaning up the mess in Liangzhou, and his troops were scattered. Based on Liangzhou, it spread to the surrounding areas. The stronghold in Senzhou, which was relatively close to Beizhou, was the most severely destroyed, with tens of thousands of incense supplies lost.
Strongholds in other states also suffered heavy losses, and many of the incense monks who were capable of hands-on cultivation were killed.
This incident has aroused dissatisfaction among the monks of Xuzhou Chitianhui General Altar.
They can be roughly divided into three factions, with Zhao Jiang leading the main battle. He always said that the court must pay the price, and their people could not die in vain, especially since so many people died.
The original county magistrate Li Yuanzhen has now become the county magistrate.
He felt that he still had to continue to accumulate strength. Even if the imperial court wanted to clear them out, they would not be able to find them here. As long as they remained low-key and sheltered from the wind, it would be enough for the imperial army to pass by.
The imperial army's anti-rebellion army had just won a great victory, and their morale was at high levels. The generals who lead the army are even more difficult to mess with. Once they become prominent, they may end up like the Tianli Sect and be quickly suppressed and exterminated.
Even if we really want to fight back, there is no need to confront the court at this moment. At this time, it is even more important to shrink the surrounding forces and allow the strongholds in each state to settle down without making too much noise.
Li Asheng, who was in charge of the army, said nothing and stared at Chi Xuan silently. He did not lean towards anyone or one of the factions. As the commander-in-chief of the soldiers, it is enough for him to obey the orders of the Archmage.
Like Li Asheng, Zhou Hui said nothing, although he felt that preparations had been made at this time. Since the Archmage did not rise up, it meant that there was still something incomplete.
There is no perfect plan in this world. There will always be accidents that cannot be controlled and calculated by humans. Maybe there is a lack of luck. It's just a matter of doing your best and obeying fate.
…
"coming!"
Chi Xuan turned his head and turned into a rainbow and flew out of the Taoist temple.
The other party was like a meteor falling from the sky, with a powerful aura and huge fluctuations, appearing majestically in Juling County, Xuzhou.
Liang An looked at the sky: "Captain Zuo is here."
"Brother Chu, it's time to look back. The captain of the Demon-Jiang Yamen is a major cultivator of the real person realm. Even the powerful Tianli Sect has become the dead soul of the real person. You are a captain of the imperial court, why should you be buried with him."
"Brother Chu is just keeping a useful body. There is nothing inappropriate. I believe the Yamen will understand."
"It's too late, it's too late..."
Chu Ge shook his head. His family had been stolen out of the capital by Chi Xuan and was now in the city. He was so capricious, how could the court trust him again? Now he was tied to the same boat as Chi Xuan.
"Back then, I wanted the court to pay attention to the Archmage, but now I want the court not to pay attention to the Archmage. It's really strange." Chu Ge turned into a rainbow and flew above Juling County.
Flying with him was a ray of light that soared into the sky from the Demon-Jiang Yamen in Juling County.
"Master Jindan."
Tu Shanjun's voice rang in Chi Xuan's ears.
At this time, Chi Xuan also saw the person coming.
The man hung above the clouds like a small sun.
The divine consciousness was locked, and like a torch divine light fell on Chi Xuan's body, a slightly old voice sounded: "You have such a solid cultivation, it would be a pity to become a rebel instead of becoming a demon-conquering captain."
"If you give up your incense, I am willing to give you a chance to join you."
"A chance to survive?"
"Not bad, a chance to survive."
Chi Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "At this point, there is no retreat, and I don't want to let them down."
"Pindao is a down-and-out person, so he will die. It's not a pity. It would be great to save two more."
The golden elixir monk who was as bright as a little sun questioned: "But what you are doing now is to let more people die with you."
Chi Xuan laughed: "Pindao will die in front of them."
"I have killed no less than a hundred cultists along the way, including speculators who have learned the incense method, and monks who have already achieved cultivation."
"There are those who cry and beg on their knees, and there are also those who sacrifice themselves to the people to increase their cultivation. Those people who say they are rebels are exaggerating, but they are just evildoers obsessed with profit."
"They are evil criminals, and you are truly a hero!"
