Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1050 Undercurrent
When the Demon Cult was at its peak, it was rumored to have an army of 30,000 people, many talented people, and masters, and it could potentially compete head-on with a small country. Sixty years ago, the martial arts world was a bloody history of righteous people fighting to the death with Zhulu Mountain. Almost seven or eight out of ten martial arts leaders in history died at the hands of the Demon Cult. As one died, another was elected, and they continued to do so, so that the position of martial arts leader was almost lost in that short period of time.

The demons, big and small, involved in Zhulu Mountain are the worst of the worst.

Catch a few of them at random, and they all seem to have a long history of bad deeds. They either use human hearts and livers to drink, or take yin to replenish yang, or kill entire families in the blink of an eye, especially the leaders of the sects in Zhuolu Mountain and the six demons. It seems that dominating the martial arts world is not enough, and they also want to fight for the country. When the Central Plains loses the deer, heroes all over the world will chase it together. This is the meaning of Zhuolu Mountain.

There have been nine leaders of Zhulu Mountain until the last one, Liu Songtao, all of whom were martial arts overlords second only to Wang Xianzhi. They would rather leave the leader's seat vacant for decades than let a mediocre person sit on it. Whoever becomes the leader, no matter how unknown he is outside Zhulu Mountain, must be a rare and great figure.

For example, Liu Songtao, after he became possessed, went out of Zhulu Mountain and killed more than ten thousand people, so that both the martial arts world and the court were on edge and tried their best to stop him, but it was still of no use. During the Nine Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, two emperors were killed by Liu Songtao alone. One was dismembered on the dragon throne, and the other lost his head inexplicably on the dragon bed. There were countless ministers and generals in the Central Plains who killed him.

The rumor eventually spread that Zhao Gusu, the former Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, went to the Dragon Pool in person, lost six purple gold lotuses of destiny, borrowed the power of heaven and man to imprint a nine-word prophecy, and killed Liu Songtao with the mighty nine-layer heavenly thunder nails from thousands of miles away.

It was not until the Spring and Autumn Period that Qi Xuanzhen, the Taoist Priest, single-handedly annihilated six demons of the Demon Sect on the Demon Slaying Platform, shocking the world. The once prosperous Demon Sect fell into decline and has remained silent ever since.

Decades passed, and Zhulu Mountain, which was leaderless, was gradually forgotten.

The waves of the martial arts world keep moving forward and will not stop because of anyone.

That is to say, during a few decades, many heroes emerged in the martial arts world, and Cao Changqing, Deng Tai'a, Han Diao Si and others successively rose in the martial arts world.

When Li Yang destroyed the nine kingdoms, Xu Xiao rode his horse across the world, and Zhuolu Mountain never caused any waves on the big stage of the world again.

Its reputation began to be forgotten, and the stories about Zhuolu Mountain gradually turned into legends.

Until recently, Zhulu Mountain suddenly elected a new leader.

This leader was not a member of the Demon Cult in Zhulu Mountain, but an outsider.

It took the new leader only half a day from entering the mountain to reaching the top, in which case he slaughtered all the original two kings and four dukes. He also recruited four first-class masters into the mountain, including two Zhixuan and two King Kong masters.

At this time, Emperor Li Yang had just passed away and the new emperor had ascended the throne, so he had no time to take care of it.

It was as if a cult had risen again and was dominating the world.

And in this center where all the demons gathered, a man came here to meet with the new leader of the demon cult.

The man had white hair, was dressed in luxurious purple Confucian clothing, and was holding a round fan. He looked relaxed and contented, not at all worried about being in a devil's den.

The man in white sitting opposite him was the new leader of the Demon Sect.

There are two large spiritual fish, one red and one green. They look like a carp but not a carp, and like a dragon but not a dragon. Their whiskers are extremely long. The two fish float in the air like swimming, and swim mysteriously beside the man in white.

Between the two of them, a game of chess tells the endless stories of the world.

After the move was made, the man smiled and said, "This move by the leader is so grand and majestic."

The demon in white asked back, "Are you also like the people in Jianghu, obsessed with the view of good and evil?" The man replied, "If I were obsessed, I would not come here."

The demon in white asked, "Sir, you are a top Confucian scholar, but why did you come to Zhulu Mountain?"

Shu Lou Long Su smiled and said, "Taoism is about inaction, Buddhism is about leaving the world, and Confucianism is about entering the world. Zhulu Mountain has been silent for a long time, and the leader has just taken office. How can I not come to pay a visit?"

The leader of the Demon Cult refused to give in. "Oh, I wonder if this visit will turn into a visit by an evil guest?"

The Confucian sect leader waved his round fan, "Speaking of evil guests, there is one. I think the leader already knows about it."

The new leader continued, "The ninth leader of the Demon Cult a hundred years ago, Liu Songtao."

Shu Lou Long Su said with a smile: "The leader has just taken over Zhulu Mountain when the former leader showed up. It is said that he has left the Western Regions, passed through Bashu, and entered the Central Plains. I think he came for Zhulu Mountain. Does the leader intend to abdicate and let someone else take over?"

The leader asked: "As the head of the Confucian sect, don't you intend to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness?"

Shu Lou Long Su shook his head and smiled, "I don't want to get into trouble like Jian Zi did. You are the number one demon in the Northern Mang Sect and the master of Zhulu Mountain. That is the purpose of my trip."

The identity of the man in white is Luoyang, the number one evil leader in Beimang, who was stabbed in the heart by Xu Fengnian at the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

Not only did Luoyang not die, but his skills improved greatly.

Luoyang was not polite either, "Sir, since you are here to visit me, I believe you will not come empty-handed."

"If you want to understand why Liu Songtao has become what he is now, you must first understand his past." Shu Lou Long Su slowly recounted Liu Songtao's past.

"This matter involves an old case from a hundred years ago. Although Liu Songtao is the leader of the Demon Cult, he is the least like a member of the Demon Cult. He has dabbled in all three religions. He has long since quietly entered the realm of land-based sword immortals. Wei Cao, the sword immortal who once stood out in the world's sword forest, rode his sword to Zhulu Mountain and stabbed Liu Songtao in the abdomen. Liu Songtao stabbed him back with a sword and his body was hung on the top of the mountain. Even the now famous sword-eating old Sui Xiegu once challenged Liu Songtao when he was young."

Luoyang was more concerned about the outcome of this battle, "What's the result?"

Shu Lou Long Su replied, "Of course he was defeated. In that era when Liu Songtao was the most powerful man in the world, Sui Xiegu was naturally defeated, but he was also favored by Liu Songtao. Sui Xiegu also guarded the gate for Liu Songtao when he was in seclusion. It was not until later that Liu Songtao, a woman, and Zhao Huangchao of the Liyang royal family traveled around the world, and this was the beginning of the story."

Luoyang heard this familiar name, "Zhao Huangchao?"

"Have you ever heard of this name, Mountain Master?"

"Among the Thirteen Jias of the Spring and Autumn Period, he was one of the most controversial ones. At that time, he was known as the least princely prince of the Liyang royal family. After he was defeated by Wang Xianzhi, the second-best prince in the world, he raised an evil dragon in Difei Mountain. Later, he was killed by Mr.'s good friend with his soul-condensed sword."

"So, Jianzi is really a trouble maker. Stay away from him if you have nothing to do." Shulou Longsu continued, "There are many versions of the Thirteen Jia of the Spring and Autumn Period. Zhao Huangchao was able to rank among these versions, so he must be capable. The three of them traveled around the world, the woman liked Zhao Huangchao, and Liu Songtao liked the woman. When Liu Songtao returned from the world, he was just one paper away from becoming a god, so he practiced in seclusion. And this was the beginning of all the tragedies."

Luoyang asked, "Liu Songtao went astray and slaughtered people in the martial arts world. Could it be related to Zhao Huangchao and the woman you mentioned?"
