I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

It is said that a powerful demon, with overwhelming force, unified all the demon races in the entire Nanshan area in just half a year, and directly became the master of Nanshan.

Nanshan is not the name of a single mountain, but a collective term for countless mountains in the south. Any mountain range or mountain within this large area of ​​the south can be called Nanshan.

"It's not good for us to avoid contact as much as possible; we should keep to ourselves."

"Okay, okay, I know, I was just kidding." Ji Xuan jumped in front of Liu Changsheng and spun around. "Do you think my outfit looks good?"

The red and black dress looks great on, but it also gives off a slightly sinister vibe.

"nice."

"Hehe, that's good. I didn't even want to wear this dress."

Having passed through Tongzhou, the senses gradually intensified, and Changsheng quickened his pace, taking to the air and flying deep into the Mushan Mountains.

Flying in the sky, the maple forest below can be seen in the distance.

Only a small patch remains on the edge of the once vast maple forest.

Ji Xuan glanced down and said, "What a pity for such a beautiful view. I wonder which bastard got into a fight here and ruined the forest."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Changsheng suddenly stop in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xuan flew to Changsheng's side and realized that two monsters were blocking their way.

They weren't flying very high, and were spotted by the guards below.

These guards were all arranged by Shuten-dōji.

His family lived deep in the mountains, and Shuten-dōji didn't want those monks to disturb them.

"These demons are subordinates of the Lord of Nanshan, right? Should we explain this to them?" Ji Xuan asked softly.

This shows how she has changed over the years.

If it were the old her, she would most likely have snorted coldly, thinking, "These little demons dare to block my way?"

"Leave it to me." Changsheng stepped forward.

"My name is Liu Changsheng, son of the Guhuoniao bird."

The two little monsters exchanged a glance. "We don't know you. You can go over, but you can't land within the area of ​​Mushan. And you'll have to take a detour."

Liu Changsheng wasn't in a hurry, but instead took out the feather.

Since they won't let us in, let's just let Auntie come out.

By this time, he had already guessed the relationship between the Lord of Nanshan and his aunt, so there was no need to take action.

Deep within the courtyard of Mount Kiku, Shinten, who was reading a book, sensed something.

She took out Bai Qingyu's feather and frowned as she looked outside. She quickly got up and flew away, and before she had flown far, she saw two figures in the sky.

Isn't that Liu Changsheng?

Changsheng also saw Zhentian and realized that it wasn't Bai Qingyu who came out. His heart skipped a beat.

"Sister Zhentian, where is Auntie?!"

As soon as Zhen Tian arrived, Liu Changsheng hurriedly inquired.

This is very strange. There's a human city not far away, and given her personality, it's impossible for her not to live in the city. Moreover, when he came back, it was Zhen Tian who came to pick him up instead of his aunt.

"Let's talk about it downstairs," Zhen Tian sighed.

A moment later, in the courtyard.

Zhen Tian used a barrier to block out the sound and prevent the little ones from eavesdropping, then briefly told Liu Changsheng about Bai Qingyu.

Liu Changsheng's face turned quite pale after hearing this.

"Xizhou, I understand."

"Brother Changsheng, let me help you." Even the way she addressed him had changed; Ji Xuan put one hand on Changsheng's shoulder.

With his other hand, he took out the sound transmission talisman.

“Brother Changsheng’s aunt is my aunt. What is the Fate Sect? They’re not even worthy to carry the shoes of my Heavenly Sect. How dare they kidnap my aunt!”

This matter is very serious, but for Ji Xuan, it also gave her hope.

Aunt is so important to Liu Changsheng, what if he were to save her himself?

Another thing is that her aunt is actually the Divine Phoenix of the Fate Cult.

If they cooperate with her, is there a chance that the Heavenly Cult will swallow up the Fate Cult?

Please vote for me, I'm begging you!

Volume 1: Chapter 114 A Powerful Alliance

After listening to Zhen Tian's story, Ji Xuan's first thought was how to use this opportunity to improve her relationship with Chang Sheng. Her aunt had been kidnapped, and if she led a team to rescue her, he would definitely be very grateful. Besides that, there was the benefit this matter could bring to the Heavenly Sect.

The Fate Sect is not weak, but it is still far inferior to the Heavenly Sect.

However, the Fate Cult is still a major sect, and the price to pay for taking it down may be greater than the benefits.

In other words, it's not worth targeting the Fate Cult.

The Western Regions are so barren that the only thing that can attract people's attention is the power of faith.

To be honest, no sect wouldn't covet the power of faith. Even the Heavenly Sun Palace was very curious about using the power of faith for cultivation.

With so many people in the world, which sect doesn't have some fanatical followers? If the power of faith could be utilized, the overall strength of the sect could be improved.

Leaving aside the followers below, if this power of faith were used by the top cultivators of the sect to further enhance their strength, wouldn't the sect be even safer?

Unfortunately, most sects, including Tianyang Palace, have studied it, but have made little progress, as if the power of faith is a unique power of Xizhou.

Among these factors, the so-called Divine Phoenix Totem plays a significant role. The power of faith is attracted by this totem, which is then used by the Fate Sect.

Right now, Liu Changsheng's aunt is actually the living totem of the Fate Cult. If we can cooperate with her, is it possible to take down the Fate Cult?

Can the power of faith in the Fate Cult be used by the Heavenly Cult?

This is a win-win situation.

Thinking of this, Ji Xuan didn't hide anything; she didn't want to scheme against Changsheng.

“Brother Changsheng, listen to me. Aunt’s capture must be related to the power of faith. Father told me before that the Fate Cult is stirring up trouble and wants to start a war with the Central Region. The opportunity lies in their totem. As long as the totem exists and there is a continuous supply of pure faith power to support them, they will dare to do this.”

"Then my father also said that the leader of the Fate Cult has reached a critical period and needs a totem to help him overcome this bottleneck."

"Hmm... They also said that the Fate Cult is currently facing serious internal problems. The accumulated karmic obstacles have completely overwhelmed their fortune. If they don't find an outlet, these karmic obstacles will devour both Xizhou and the Fate Cult."

Liu Changsheng's face was gloomy as he pondered a solution.

Ji Xuan's words were tantamount to saying that after her aunt joined the Fate Cult, she was only responsible for the dirty and tiring work, and that neither her faith power nor her karmic burdens were good things. Since she had come to Xizhou, the people of the Fate Cult would not treat her as some kind of totem.

They will squeeze every last drop of value out of her, and then discard her as a vessel to deal with her karmic burdens.

Ji Xuan took out her communication talisman, "Let me ask my father what he thinks."

Thank you.

"It's alright, we're all family."

Ji Xuan knew that Liu Changsheng was a person who always repaid kindness, so that was a good starting point for her.

Her little trick.

A short while later, Ji Xuan put down the communication talisman. "Father said he could help, but after the success, he wants Aunt to do some things for the Heavenly Sect."

At this point, Ji Xuan quickly added, "Father means that he wants to annex the Fate Sect and wants Aunt to help. Well, Brother Changsheng, you also know the situation in Xizhou. Although the Heavenly Sect is defined as demonic, I think it would be better for the Heavenly Sect to take over Xizhou than the Fate Sect!"

The Heavenly Cult has always been mysterious and powerful. It is defined as a demonic cult mainly because its ideology is completely opposite to that of righteous sects.

The Heavenly Cult desires to overthrow the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Emperor, and to unify the human realm through their power.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Cult, there is no Heaven or imperial power. They have assassinated several emperors of the Great Ling Dynasty, and even the previous dynasty was overthrown by their power. After supporting the Great Ling Dynasty, the Great Ling Dynasty directly rebelled and took the Heavenly Sun Palace as its national protector.

Therefore, in the eyes of this group of people, merits and karmic obstacles are nothing more than a kind of power. Who says that karmic obstacles cannot be absorbed?

The act of assassinating the emperor and plunging the world into war is enough to define it as a demonic cult.

But the Heavenly Cult is far more than that. Its followers are mostly extreme and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

They can lure dozens or even hundreds of people into becoming nourishment for the so-called demon god in order to summon it.

The summoned demons will be attacked and killed by the stalkers, who will then absorb their power.

After it was over, they left behind a pile of corpses, but they believed that the sacrifice of these people was necessary.

Lawless, unrestrained, and acting as one's own god—this is what is called the Heavenly Religion.

Just like Bai Qingyu's definition of the Heavenly Cult.

Calling them evil is an understatement; they are more like chaotic "neutrality."

They've done a lot of good things, and they've done a lot of bad things too.

The name "Demon Sect" was assigned to them by other sects, and the people of the Heavenly Sect didn't care. Whether it was a Demon Sect or a Righteous Sect, it didn't matter.

Therefore, it is common to see disciples of the Heavenly Cult and disciples of righteous sects arguing, with the righteous disciples sometimes losing the argument.

The Heavenly Cult had only one thing to say: Fine, we are the Demonic Cult, but what you've done is far more outrageous than what we've done. At least we value human life and give the dead a proper burial and send off their souls. You, on the other hand, completely disregard human life and yet you have the nerve to call us the Demonic Cult.

Then some people on the righteous side started whispering among themselves, saying things like, "How can a cultivator be compared to a mortal?"

The only one who dared to directly confront them was Tianyang Palace.

Therefore, upon hearing Ji Xuan's words, Liu Changsheng felt there was no major problem.

He had visited Xizhou, and it was a living hell.

If the Heavenly Cult madmen were to take over this situation, they would do a much better job than the Fate Cult.

And that's normal too. Why would they ask the Heavenly Sect to deal with a major sect just because their aunt was captured? Everything is about interests. If they acted without considering the interests, then the favor they owed would be enormous.

"I understand. Please thank the sect leader for me. Liu Changsheng will never forget this favor!"

"Oh dear, I already said we're family."

As they were talking, Liu Changsheng sensed a powerful figure approaching. He turned his head and saw a large demon with red hair and pointed ears stepping into the courtyard.

This great demon didn't even speak; he just stood there, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
