Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Treat it as a reward and enjoy the little world.

Severely endangered cities are particularly tricky, such as Jiu'an City, which is assigned to the Buddhist sect.

Jiu'an originally meant a long-lasting, safe and secure city, but the reality is very cruel.

Jiuan’s problem is very tricky.

"How's your investigation going, Junior Brother?"

A Buddhist team consisting of three pure monks and two lay disciples.

They are all at the Xuanbian level, led by a senior monk who is in the middle stage of Xuanbian. The remaining four are two who have reached the perfection of the early stage of Xuanbian, and two who have just entered the early stage of Xuanbian.

The combination of old and new includes not only masters, but also the backbone and those who have just entered the mysterious level.

The chief monk’s Dharma name was Yiye, and the same was true for the other four.

They are One Wood and One Water respectively. The lay disciples are named One Dragon and One Tiger.

It can be seen here that these five people are not only from Buddhism, but also a group of people from countless Buddhist temples and sects.

The four major ones, except for the Martial Arts Alliance.

The other three are combinations of countless temples, Taoist temples, and sects.

Someone predicted a long time ago that the Big Four would eventually split up, and this is the reason.

They stick together when they are weak, but will separate when they grow to a certain level.

After all, although the core doctrines of various schools are the same, they all have their own ideas, which have evolved with history and will eventually separate over time.

It seems that the three companies are a core, but internal competition has always existed.

This time, the five brothers of Yiye were assigned the task of Jiu'an City.

"Brother, the situation is very complicated. Generally speaking, at present, Jiu'an City is not only plagued by two small worlds causing evil, but also by endless weirdness and disasters caused by falling stars. These are caused by all parties, and it is very difficult to save this city." Master Yimu replied.

"To make a long story short, let me briefly tell you what the situation is. It is troublesome but we have to do it. This is our mission." Master Yiye said.

It is not only a question of their identity as a Buddhist, but also of competition within their Buddhist community.

"Yes!"

Master Yimu said: "In general, the main reason for the major crisis in Jiu'an City is the connection between the two small worlds. One is the ghost world full of ghosts and monsters, and the other is the bloodthirsty magic world. Neither of them is easy to deal with..."

"Because of the existence of these two worlds, there is a serious shortage of spiritual masters in Jiu'an City. The martial arts halls and dojos in Jiu'an City have been in a long-term shortage of young people. It's a problem of quantity... I'll put it this way so that you brothers will understand. For example, there are five spiritual masters in Jiu'an City, but there are thirty ghosts and demons of the corresponding level."

“Even though the spiritual masters have an advantage in terms of combat power, they are no match for the ghosts and monsters in the two worlds. The number of martial artists in martial arts gyms and dojos cannot compare to the ghosts and monsters in the two worlds… Overall, both the spiritual masters and martial artists in the dojo have tried their best, but they have made great sacrifices and cannot reverse the decline.”

"Then comes the ten-year node... Even if I don't tell you, you can imagine that with such heavy losses, no one can unite their hearts, so the falling stars cannot be stopped at all, and there is also a strange explosion..."

"So, it's an all-round corruption. The two small worlds are the culprits, but Jiu'an City also has to face obstacles from all sides, such as strange outbreaks, falling stars, food crises, and energy crises."

"..."

After Master Yimu’s explanation, several Buddhists understood.

In short, an all-round rout caused by two small worlds.

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. This is what it means.

If the small world cannot be resisted, the defeated situation will also experience a strange revival, after all, people are in panic.

When people are in panic, strange things are most likely to happen.

People’s panic cannot form cohesion, and without cohesion, they cannot unite to resist the falling stars from the sky.

"I understand." Master Yi Ye nodded.

Then he said, "According to your idea, where should we start?"

This is not the time to be polite. Yimu thought for a moment and said, "In fact, we should attack from all aspects, but our manpower is limited. I think that since this is the case, we should catch the source of the problem and attack the two small worlds first. As long as we cut off the chaos in the two small worlds, the other problems, whether it is weirdness or falling stars, can be fundamentally reversed."

"What do you think, fellow apprentices?"

After listening to Yimu's thoughts, Master Yiye asked.

"Junior brother agrees with Senior Brother Yimu's idea. We should go straight to the source and cut off the hands of the two small worlds first. Then we can slowly sort out the strange problems and the falling star problems." Yihu.

"agree!"

"agree!"

The remaining few people agreed with this decision.

"Okay, in that case, Junior Brother Yimu, please continue to tell me the news you have heard about the two small worlds." Yiye decided.

"Yes!"

Master Yimu continued, "After all, it is not a place where we truly practice. If it were a place where we truly practice, it would not be the small world invading the main world, but us exploring the small world."

"When the two small worlds were first discovered, there was actually no danger. However, the spiritual masters here made a mistake. They did not take the initiative, but stopped everyone from exploring and contacting them... They were not familiar with the two small worlds at all."

"Instead, it was the creatures from the Demonic World who explored the Main World first. At the beginning, these demons disguised themselves very well and deceived the spiritual masters into giving them the goodwill. They also allowed them to develop in Jiu'an for a while... Later, the demons somehow got in touch with the ghost world, and then began to invade and attack Jiu'an City."

"Although the residents of Jiu'an City have experienced the baptism of strange resurrection, after all, the inertia of thinking formed in their childhood cannot understand the cruelty of the world of magic and the world of ghosts, and they are..."

He looked upset and angry.

The situation is obvious, and the current situation is the best example.

The spiritual master's cowardice hindered his understanding of the two small worlds, leading to the current irreversible situation.

It is impossible to comment on the group of spiritual masters.

The good ones are really good, and the bad ones are extremely evil.

This is still a matter of personality.

There is also the physical defect that causes him to be very cautious.

All spiritual masters cherish their lives very much, this is caused by the strangeness of their fusion and it is difficult to change.

Therefore, when trouble comes, people will naturally avoid it and delay it as much as possible, and only face it when it cannot be delayed any longer.

If Jiu'an City was a world occupied by cultivators, the true cultivators would have happily opened up two small worlds long ago, and ghosts and demons would have had no chance.

"According to our definition, the ghost and demon worlds are all magical cultivators. The extraordinary ghosts and demons all use magical weapons to become extraordinary, just like Senior Ji's clansmen in the world of gods and demons. The level of cultivation is not important. The key is the number of people."

Ichiki continued.

This sentence shows the confidence of a true cultivator.

Cultivation level is not important. It takes a lot of self-confidence to say this.

Whether it is ghosts or demons, it has to be said that Buddhism seems to be a natural nemesis of them.

Buddhism is a sect in which a large proportion of the practitioners are cultivators of spiritual cultivation. There are also practitioners of qi and body cultivation, but cultivating the spirit is the main focus.

Currently, among the four, Buddhism is the strongest in refining spirit, Taoism is the strongest in refining qi, and the Martial Arts Alliance is the strongest in refining body.

Ranked first, the Confucian school is the strongest and is good at refining the body, qi, and spirit.

Each has its own style.

Even if they are real demons, weird things, etc., true practitioners can crush them, let alone these fake demons and real ghosts.

No matter how powerful the ghosts are, can they be as weird as their ceilings?
No matter how powerful the devil is, can he be stronger than the real devil and the demons in the blood soul world?
I can't compare, I don't have the ability.

I'm not afraid of weirdness or demons, but I'm afraid of these hooligans.

"Does the second level exist in the two worlds?" Master Yiye asked a key question.

"Nothing has been found yet." Yimu shook his head. He had heard no news from inquiries, but he didn't know whether there was any specific information.

As I said, Jiuan City knew very little about the two worlds and was attacked by others.

"If there is no second level, it is actually simple." Master Yiye said.

If there were no second-level demons and ghosts, he could sweep them away by himself, he is that strong.

The legends in Qingyun Mountain are all true legends, and the fake ones have long been eliminated.

It seems that Yiye is only at the middle stage of Xuanbian, but he is one level higher than the opponent. However, for the lowest-level magic weapon cultivators, it is not necessarily that they are two levels higher than the opponent.

He is in the middle stage of the first stage, which is equivalent to the perfection or even the limit of the first stage of magic weapon cultivator.

Not to mention the endless stream of methods.

Master Yiye is best known for his various spells, magical incantations, forbidden spells, etc.

He is also one of the key figures of their faction, and he has a Star-Swallowing Vine that has been cultivated to the first-level limit.

This is only part of the ability. It is hard to say how strong it is. All we can say is that the force is unknown, and it becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent.

After all, who doesn’t know how to summon the Void Blade?

"Brother, do you have any ideas?"

The four junior brothers asked.

"Yes, but it's not rigorous. However, such a critical situation does not allow us to think rigorously. My idea is to make a decisive move and directly cut off the claws of the two worlds, and then slowly work on it."

After saying that, the four fellow apprentices nodded.

My brother's plan is very good. Although it is a bit risky, it is worth a try.

Currently, demons and ghosts have occupied most of the city. On the front line of the confrontation between the two sides, one side is the resistance army led by the only remaining spiritualist in Jiuan City, and the other side is the army composed of demons and ghosts.

The senior brother’s plan is to go directly to the front line and kill all the demons and ghosts in one fell swoop.

This will not only save the situation, but also unite people.

To save Jiu'an City, we must not only eliminate all the demons, ghosts and weirdness, but also rebuild the broken hearts of the people.

There is no better occasion to rally people's hearts than to be on the front line of the battlefield and kill all the enemies in one fell swoop.

"Four junior brothers, please don't take action. Just watch from the dark and help me to clear the enemy's path. I will kill all the enemies myself. How about that?"

"Good!" the four nodded.

This plan is good. Senior brother should try his best to turn the tide and rebuild cohesion.

The four of us should coordinate in secret to be prepared for any eventuality.

"Okay, since the brothers have agreed, let's set off this morning without further delay."

"good!"

The sooner they act, the more lives can be saved. After the plan was made, the five of them did not stop for a moment and flew directly to the front battlefield in Jiuan City.

On the battlefield of Jiuan City.

To call it a battlefield is actually overestimating the two sides. It is just a scene built with buildings of each side.

It was simply for defense purposes, clearing out the buildings on the front line and leaving a piece of open space.

The scene looks okay.

On one side is the human camp with low morale, and on the other side is the devil's coalition with dark clouds rising and bloody storms.

Currently, there are only two spiritual masters left in Jiuan City, one of whom is young and has just become a spiritual master not long ago.

But from his rotting body and the pungent smell, it can be seen that even a new spiritualist has been seriously attacked by the weirdness due to the continuous fighting.

As for the older spiritualist, his appearance was even more horrible, with only half of his body left, covered in rotten flesh and black blood, in pieces.

If it hadn't been eroded and transformed by the weirdness, all this rotten meat and black blood wouldn't exist.

"Hey!"

The dying old spiritual master sighed.

I don't know whether he was lamenting his bad luck or lamenting that the city he had protected his entire life was about to be destroyed.

"Hold on, Old Sun. We still have a chance. Don't give up on yourself." said the young spiritual master.

Even though I don't believe what I say, what else can I say?
Spiritual masters are most afraid of stimulation and also afraid of giving up on themselves.

Once the old spiritual master Lao Sun gives up, there will be trouble. Not only will the strongest fighting force be lost, but he will also become a new weirdness and a disaster.

The fight between the two sides was brutal.

But they all avoided places where weird things existed. Once they accidentally touched the weird rules and caused weird things to happen, they would withdraw immediately and try their best to guard against weird things.

They are also afraid of weird things, after all, they can't defeat them.

It would be terrible if Old Sun became heartbroken and turned into a weird person.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chen. Even if I die, I will die in the devil's camp, just like Lao Ma, Lao Nie, Lao Lu and others. Even if I die, I will drag a bunch of devils with me." said the old spiritual master.

"Hey!"

Now it was the turn of the new spiritual master Xiao Chen to sigh.

It's sad to say, but the reason why we have been able to maintain the confrontation with the devil camp for so long is because of this method.

The demons were also afraid that if they pushed the spiritual master too far, he would transform into strange forms after his death and cause harm to them.

If it weren't for this "nuclear weapon", the devil army would have wiped out the manpower of Jiu'an City in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Xiao Chen sighed.

He should be sighing that his ending will be the same as that of his predecessors.

You could say that these spiritual masters in Jiuan City are timid and have no vision.

But there is no fault to be found in their protection of their hometown.

They all died fighting for their hometown, which is worthy of praise and moving.

The same is true for the new spiritual master Xiao Chen.

"No response to your call for help yet?"

Lao Zhang asked, changing the subject.

"No, no reply, too far, too many."

Xiao Chen said dejectedly, there was no expectation or hatred in his words, all of it was gone.

He should have resented the Evil Suppression Department and resented others for not saving him.

But after a long wait, all the hatred and resentment were worn out, leaving only numbness and lack of emotion.

What he said about being too far away is one of the important reasons. The Blue Planet has changed too much and the distances between cities are too far.

They are not true practitioners and cannot open up new areas and reopen the links.

It is difficult for them to protect themselves, so how can they have the energy to explore new areas?

And "too many" means that there are too many cities like this and they cannot be saved.
