My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

After the Confucian sage, the mainland began its decline.

Confucianism split, Taoism retreated, the continent began to split, and dynasties and forces sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

And it has continued to this day!

Every time, humanity gets stuck at the point of a major outbreak, and then disaster strikes. Isn't this coincidence too frequent?

It seems we're at another point where a major outbreak is about to occur!

Because of my existence, I have brought about changes to this world that have not been seen in thousands of years.

Qi Yu had this feeling, as if there was something in the dark that was suppressing the growth of humanity, as well as the growth of the continent and the monsters.

And now, that being seems to have its eyes on me!

Moreover, it seems that his cheap father-in-law, Su Chengying, knows something.

Even one's deceased teacher should know something.

I asked him back then if there were immortals in this world, and if the realm of saints was followed by the realm of immortals.

Su Chengying did not answer at the time, but simply said, "You will know after you take over as head coach," to appease himself.

But even though he has already taken over as head coach, he still doesn't know!

Shaking his head helplessly, Qi Yu withdrew his senses and continued writing the letter.

Whoever it is, the problem now is the present!

Even if there really are immortals, it has nothing to do with me.

After finishing writing the letter, the tent flap was lifted, and Mo Wen walked in.

Mo Wen still looked disheveled, his hair was tangled and greasy, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't washed it.

Regardless of whether he seemed to care, after bowing to Qi Yu, he followed Liu Xuan's example, sat down next to the desk, and started eating an apple.

Qi Yu was speechless. Had he been too kind to these guys?

"What's with that mechanical tiger of yours? It's so big!" Qi Yu asked.

That mechanical tiger was enormous, much larger than any of the mechanical beasts Mo Wen had made before.

Moreover, it felt much more dangerous, with a sense of oppression that the mechanical beasts of the past never had.

Mo Wen, munching on an apple, calmly said, "I retrieved it. I found the method for creating the core energy source of the mechanical beast, so the mechanical beast is now even bigger."

Qi Yu was stunned, wondering why he thought of Ouyang Ruoxue.

Following her own advice, Ouyang Ruoxue went to the academy; it was probably she who returned it to Mo Wen.

After all, it originally belonged to the Mo family, but it was taken away by the immortals of the Purple Qi Pavilion two hundred years ago.

"So, you also brought back all the sacred relics of your ancestors?" Qi Yu asked.

Qi Yu summoned Ouyang Ruoxue to the academy simply to keep an eye on her.

Qi Yu never intended to force Ouyang Ruoxue to hand over her belongings.

The Purple Qi Pavilion was destroyed, but most of its resources are no longer in the Purple Qi Pavilion's treasury, but are with Ouyang Ruoxue.

Nan Yutian had foreseen the destruction of the Purple Qi Pavilion, so he transferred the funds intended for the pavilion's revival to the absolutely safe Ouyang Ruoxue in advance.

This includes the sacred relics, cultivation techniques, and secret manuals of extraordinary arts from the Purple Qi Pavilion!

When this topic was brought up, Mo Wen stopped eating his apple.

"That woman has already given me He Mogui!"

The Ink Canopy is a sacred relic left behind by the sage of the Mohist school. Like the Heavenly Sword, it possesses its own subspace.

"Don't you want to kill her to comfort the spirits of your Mo family ancestors in heaven? After all, it seems that she's the only one left in the Purple Qi Pavilion. If you kill her, the Purple Qi Pavilion will truly be finished," Qi Yu said.

Mo Wen turned his head, looked calmly at Qi Yu, and asked, "Do you know about non-aggression and universal love?"

Qi Yu nodded and said, "I understand. We should love and be equal, and oppose all unjust wars!"

The Mohists advocated non-aggression and universal love, as well as rejection of music and fatalism, which were in opposition to the Confucian principles of rites, music, respect, and humility.

The Mohist school was popular among the common people, but it didn't work in high society.

Because the Mohists' advocacy of universal love, frugal funerals, and thrift was seen as nonsense by the upper classes.

According to the rules of rites and music, there were regulations for the burial of emperors, princes, and empresses after their deaths.

This was done to highlight status and distinguish between superiors and inferiors.

The ideas of Mohism were not applicable in upper-class society, but those of Confucianism were.

Because Confucianism upholds the principles of rites and music!

Qi Yu's ideology leaned more towards the Mohist school.

For no other reason than the word 'unnatural death'.

Mo Wen nodded upon hearing Qi Yu's reply: "When will this cycle of revenge end? Besides, it was done by the ancestors of the Purple Qi Pavilion. I have already destroyed the Purple Qi Pavilion, so this can be considered revenge."

"She's just a disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion, not the pavilion itself, and she hasn't done anything to harm the Mo family. Why would I kill her?"

"Besides, she returned me and Mo Gui, so I have even less reason to kill her!"

Qi Yu was speechless, then gave Mo Wen a deep look, his expression enigmatic.

"Your Mohist school adheres to the principle of 'non-aggression,' but I am now preparing to conquer cities and territories and wage war. Aren't you going to stop me?"

Mo Wen turned his head and said calmly, "You have done me a favor, so even if you are a heinous villain, I will still help you."

"And I've been following you all along, so I know you're not a bad person."

"As for 'non-aggression,' it means stopping unjust wars. You are not fighting to invade other countries' territories, nor are you fighting to plunder. You are fighting in self-defense."

“Helping you doesn’t necessarily violate the principle of ‘non-aggression’.”

Qi Yu and Liu Xuan, who were standing next to him, had basically the same expression when they heard Mo Wen's words: surprise!

This Mo Wen isn't just someone who's single-mindedly focused on tinkering with machines!

That's quite a unique insight!

"Ouyang Ruoxue went to the academy, who is watching her?" Qi Yu asked.

Ouyang Ruoxue is still a dangerous person. After all, Qi Yu was tricked by her before, so he dares not let his guard down.

Moreover, the academy was his stronghold, and even if he killed Ouyang Ruoxue afterward, he would regret it deeply if Ouyang Ruoxue burned it down.

Chapter 120 Misplaced Trust

Qi Yu's side also began to gather forces, while in the capital, representatives from various forces began to gather.

Get ready for a drama of eighteen warlords attacking Dong Zhuo!

Qi Yu may not be Dong Zhuo, but it seems their treatment was similar.

Kill him!

The director of this grand drama was not Yuan Shao, but Lin Ruoxi.

Today is the day they unite and swear an oath of blood.

The location was the training ground of the Imperial Palace in the capital city.

After all, this is the territory of the Great Yun Dynasty, and continuing the alliance ceremony in the imperial palace training ground can be considered as giving the Great Yun Dynasty face.

Representatives from each faction stood neatly and orderly, each holding a large bowl.

Palace maids and eunuchs used this method to pour wine into the bowls held by these powerful figures.

Lin Ruoxi, as the initiator of the alliance, naturally stood at the front, followed by Lin Yuchen and Li Ming.

Lin Ruoxi also changed into a Taoist nun's outfit today, with a lotus-shaped hair bun, a black Taoist robe, and a touch of powder on her face, looking very exquisite and elegant.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi looked quite otherworldly, with an ethereal and otherworldly air, and she truly had a touch of holiness.

Lin Ruoxi also held a bowl of wine. After the eunuchs and maids filled the bowls of the representatives of the various factions behind her with wine, she turned around and looked at everyone.

"Humanity is insignificant, Heaven is boundless, and the way of ghosts is joyful, yet it is the gate of life! The current leader of Taoism, Qi Yu, is perverse and acts against the natural order, practicing demonic and ghostly ways, and regarding all people as mere grass and insects."

“My Xuanzong sect and Taoism belong to the same Taoist school. The Taoist leader has acted perversely. As the sect leader of Xuanzong, I have an obligation to clean up the Taoist school.”

"This evil Taoist has slaughtered sects and clans, endangering the safety of the continent. We are concerned for the safety of all people and take it as our duty to protect the safety of the people of the continent. We must not sit idly by and watch this evil Taoist continue to do evil."

"Today we pledge our oath here to kill the evil Taoist Qi Yu and restore peace to the world!"

Lin Ruoxi spoke with great intonation and passion, and she was quite infectious. Many people's faces turned slightly flushed, clearly moved by her words.

Lin Yuchen was the first to respond, raising her wine bowl and loudly echoing the sentiment.

"We swear to kill the evil cultists!!"

The others also raised their wine bowls and loudly echoed!

"We swear to kill the evil cultists!"

Lin Ruoxi looked at the group of people, her lips twitching slightly. She had already obtained these chess pieces; now it was time to play the game with Qi Yu.

She was a master of Go, and before she met Qi Yu, she had never lost a single game.

It wasn't until she saw Qi Yu at the Su residence and played a game with him that she lost by half a point.

This time, he will use the entire world as the chessboard and these powerful dynasties as the pieces to play another game against Qi Yu.

The winner will gain control of the continent and become its supreme ruler!

Completely wiped out!

Qi Yu's greatest reliance and trump card was Su Yue, but now Su Yue will no longer help him.

Therefore, this is her last game against Qi Yu!

Lin Ruoxi held the wine bowl to her lips with one hand, raised the other hand to cover her mouth, and slowly drank the wine in the bowl.

The representatives of other forces, unlike Lin Ruoxi, were generally men who drank their wine with great gusto.

Bang, bang
