Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 371 The Theory of Luck
Inside the Chinese army's tent.

Jiang Lin looked at the black prison in front of him and the third elder of the demon clan inside, whose realm had fallen to the Golden Immortal Realm under the "care" of the three big guys.

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

The only difference is that this time the Great Emperor Zhenwu is not here, and all you can hear is the standard Soul Palace laughter of the three big guys, "hehehe".

For a moment, Jiang Lin really had a feeling that "it turns out I am the villain."

Shaking his head to get rid of this inexplicable emotion, Jiang Lin picked up the Seven Star Sword and stabbed it into the black prison.

There were no earth-shattering visions, nor any surprises.

The third elder of the demon clan became the third powerful person to die at the hands of Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin landed after swinging his sword. He watched the three big guys come over to study the body of the third elder. He didn't say anything, but just blinked.

Even though he had experienced this scene three times, Jiang Lin was still a little dazed.

Where does this specialness of mine come from?
Those with great supernatural powers will not survive unless they endure countless calamities. This has been common sense and an iron law in the Three Realms since time immemorial.

But now, this iron rule has been broken in my case.

As long as the realm of the great master is lowered to the same level as Jiang Lin, or to the level that can be threatened by Jiang Lin, he will directly die at the hands of Jiang Lin.

Moreover, there is absolutely no possibility of resurrection.

This is simply appalling in the extreme.

"Do you see anything?"

Marshal Tianpeng obviously didn’t think as much as Jiang Lin did. He just touched his chin and looked at Heisha and Tianyou thoughtfully.

The latter two shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't see anything.

"Forget it, forget about that, you two go out and raid the battlefield."

Marshal Tianpeng waved his hands happily, and then said: "I'm afraid it won't work if we use the same old tricks again. Tell Zhenwu that if a fight really breaks out, act according to the plan."

"Yes."

General Heisha smiled wickedly and walked out of the central army tent arm in arm with Deputy Marshal Tianyou.

The so-called acting according to plan is actually very simple.

Once a fight breaks out, it will be a righteous group fight. Even if they get injured, they must catch the powerful demon master.

After catching him, the rest was easy. Just take Jiang Lin to go through the process.

"Xuan Ying."

Marshal Tianpeng smiled at Jiang Lin and said, "Your merit in killing a great master cannot be recorded openly, nor is it appropriate to speak out, but the old Emperor has seen everything you have done."

Jiang Lin nodded in understanding.

Besides the Four Saints of the North Pole, only the Emperor, the old man, and Hou Tu Huangdi knew that he could kill a person with great supernatural powers.

This kind of thing is obviously not suitable to be exposed, otherwise, who knows how many powerful people will target Jiang Lin.

But Marshal Tianpeng’s words were also very clear.

The Emperor saw it all. In other words, Jian is in the Emperor's heart, and this is the most important thing, much more important than any apparent military achievements.

"Come and sit."

Marshal Tianpeng waved his hand, motioning Jiang Lin to sit down and talk.

Now, there were only Jiang Lin and Marshal Tianpeng in the central army tent. Jiang Lin did not hesitate and sat opposite the Marshal.

"What do you think of the current situation?"

Marshal Tianpeng asked.

Of course he could see that Xuan Ying could not be a general who commanded an army, nor was he a commander who could make plans. This kid was a lone wolf at heart, and it was best to let him play freely on the battlefield.

Asking him to lead the troops would be a torture for both the soldiers and himself.

But no matter what, you must have the overall perspective and cannot compromise on what you should teach.

Hearing this, Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Heaven must boil the frog in warm water to prevent the demons from jumping off the wall in desperation. We must take down the demon ancestral home of Northern Juluzhou at the lowest cost."

Although the decree given by the Emperor Ziwei according to the Great Heavenly Venerable's decree is to exterminate the demon race, in the final analysis, this is really not very realistic.

Therefore, the initial goal of Heaven was to clean out the demon clan’s private territory of Beijuluzhou, destroy the demon clan’s ancestral home in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and most importantly, control all the powerful demon clan members.

At this point, the requirements of the law have basically been met.

Without the ancestral temple, the demon clan would lose their last spiritual sustenance and dignity. Without their private land of Beijuluzhou, the demon clan would have no space for development. In the process of cleansing, the demon clan that were slaughtered were all the backbone of the demon clan, which actually greatly weakened the overall scale of the demon clan.

Finally, without a powerful master in charge, the demon clan no longer has the space or opportunity to turn the tables.

The rest are just some stragglers and there is no need to care about them.

At this point, the concept of "demon race" has actually disappeared, and what remains is just "monster".

After all, monsters cannot be killed completely. As long as the Three Realms are still functioning and as long as there is spiritual energy, there will always be non-human creatures who practice and become monsters.

But as long as the concept of the demon race disappears, it doesn’t matter how many monsters there are.

By that time, even if a powerful force were to be raised again, what they would raise would only be simple material reserves, and there would be no need to worry about large-scale riots.

And these three steps were not carried out step by step in Heaven, but were carried out simultaneously.

While mobilizing the army to launch a large-scale war and consume the backbone of the demon clan, the confrontation between the powerful masters continued all the time.

Moreover, because of the existence of Jiang Lin, there is no need to think about how to suppress the powerful person who controls the demon clan. After catching him, Jiang Lin can just kill him completely.

Marshal Tianpeng listened to Jiang Lin's opinion and nodded slightly to show his approval. Then he said, "For the demon clan now, the most important thing is not those few great masters. Just those few people can be suppressed by the colleagues present. It only takes a little more effort and cost."

This is absolutely true. At the level of those with great magical powers, Heaven completely crushes the demon race. Not to mention others, just the Four Saints of the North Pole and the Emperor Jiuchen are enough to launch a righteous gang fight against the demon race's great magical powers.

The reason why I didn't act immediately was that I just wanted to get it at the lowest cost.

After all, if someone with great powers really blew himself up and risked his life, it would cause considerable trouble and loss.

But this is not important. Even if it really comes to that, Heaven can afford the price.

"The most important thing is Kunpeng."

Marshal Tianpeng slowly said a name, and said solemnly, "Now the three realms, the heaven, the demon race, and the Buddhist sect, are in a three-way confrontation."

"My Heavenly Court can indeed control the three realms, but we cannot ignore the two leaders of the demon race and the Buddhist sect."

"If the Great Celestial Venerable was here, everything would be fine. But now that the Great Celestial Venerable is gone, to be honest, although the Emperor can be called the number one in the Three Realms, there is no gap between him and the Demon Master Kunpeng and the Tathagata Buddha."

There are also gaps between those with great supernatural powers, and the gaps are not small. Jiang Lin is very clear about this. Hou Tu Huang Di Ji personally demonstrated this in front of Cuiyun Palace in the underworld.

If the great supernatural powers were an exam with a full score of 100, then Emperor Ziwei would be 99.9, while Tathagata Buddha and the demon master Kunpeng would be 99.89.

As for the Great Celestial Venerable, let’s put it this way, this Three Realms Supreme had additional questions on his test paper that other great supernatural powers didn’t have, and the Great Celestial Venerable also scored full marks on the additional questions…

But the problem is that now that the Great Celestial Lord is gone, among the Four Imperial Emperors only the Purple Star Emperor can move freely.

The whereabouts of Emperor Changsheng and Emperor Gou Chen are unknown. Although Hou Tu Huang Di Ji has been freed from the pressure of the hungry ghost realm, he still has to stay in the underworld and cannot leave easily.

The importance of the underworld to the Heavenly Palace and the Three Realms as a whole deserves the full supervision and maintenance of one of the Four Imperial Emperors.

This also means that at the most top level, Heaven does not have an overwhelming advantage.

This is also the most worrying variable in this war.

The Emperor of Ziwei did not move because of the presence of the demon master Kunpeng. The two extremely powerful masters were restraining each other.

But the problem is, besides the demon master Kunpeng, there is also Tathagata...

Whether Buddhism will intervene is no longer a question, but an obvious fact.

In this war between the Heavenly Court and the demons, the one who was under the greatest pressure was the seemingly hands-off Emperor Ziwei. The demon master Kunpeng obviously had his own plans and was even cooperating with the Tathagata Buddha.

"What is the Emperor going to do?"

After figuring this out, Jiang Lin's expression became serious.

Although these things were far away from him, now that he already knew about them, Jiang Lin couldn't turn a blind eye to them.

"What the Emperor does is not something we can speculate on."

Marshal Tianpeng shook his head slightly and said, "All we can do is trust the Emperor, and the Emperor has never let us down, and this has always been the case."

His words showed absolute trust in his monarch.

"What do you think about the battlefield?"

Marshal Tianpeng changed the topic and brought up the current specific situation.

"The revival of the Golden Crow is within our expectations, but what puzzles me is why?"

Jiang Lin also expressed his doubts.

Why didn't the big guys choose to nip the Golden Crow in the bud, why did they let the Golden Crow recover its strength.

If the demon clan had one more Golden Crow Emperor of the great supernatural power level, they might really have a chance to turn the tables.

Jiang Lin didn't understand, but he knew that the bosses must have their reasons for doing this.

"Because it doesn't make sense."

Marshal Tianpeng looked in the direction of the Shiwan Mountains and said softly, "The Shiwan Mountains are the ancestral home of the demon race. It is not difficult to destroy this place. The difficult part is how to destroy the demon race's luck at the same time."

Luck?

Jiang Lin suddenly realized.

The concept of luck may seem illusory, but it is what many major forces in the Three Realms value most.

For example, there are forty-eight Buddhas in Buddhism today. Except for Sandalwood Merit Buddha and Fighting Buddha who have not yet fully grown up, the rest are all those with great supernatural powers.

The reason why there are such a terrifying number of people with great supernatural powers is that after the Journey to the West, Buddhism spread to the East and Buddhism flourished.

Similarly, if you want to wipe out the demon race, you must destroy the demon race's luck.

"Fortune needs to be maintained. It needs a leader and an extremely powerful being to guard it legitimately."

Marshal Tianpeng said slowly: "The destiny of our Heavenly Court depends on the Great Heavenly Venerable. Now that the Great Heavenly Venerable is missing, the Emperor has taken over. As the Vice Emperor of Heavenly Court, the title is legitimate."

"Similarly, the fortune of Buddhism is tied to the Tathagata, the Buddha. The Hinayana enters the Mahayana, and among the three Buddhas, he occupies the two great positions of the present Buddha and the intermediate Buddha. It is equally legitimate."

"Then, if something happens to the Emperor or Tathagata, it will be the biggest blow to our luck, and we may even never recover."

"But the demon race doesn't have such a thing."

Jiang Lin listened to the words of Marshal Tianpeng and suddenly thought of an explanation.

The development and changes of history often depend on the lifespan of great figures and are closely related to them.

For example, the three generations of wise emperors in the Cao family died young, which gave Sima the opportunity to take advantage of; or Emperor Xuanzong of Tang lived twenty more years and caused a lot of trouble.

This is similar to what Marshal Tianpeng said about destiny.

The demon race is very special in this respect. There is no such existence who can gather the fortune of the demon race.

Demon Master Kunpeng has enough strength, but not enough status.

He is a subject, not a king.

The only one who can gather the good fortune of the demon race is the Golden Crow royal family.

What the Heavenly Court wants is a Golden Crow who can gather the good fortune of the demon race.

A Golden Crow who has been promoted to a great master but has not yet reached the peak, and who condenses the luck of the demon clan.

The disadvantage of scattered luck is that it is difficult to produce a son to prosper the family, but the advantage is that there is no place to target even if you want to.

And if there is a Golden Crow Emperor, the luck of the demon race will naturally gather, and then kill the Golden Crow, then...

This is the layout of the big guys in heaven.

"But, as luck gathers, its strength will inevitably increase dramatically. If we raise a tiger, it will become a threat..."

Jiang Lin blinked hesitantly.

It is of course convenient to destroy it when the luck is concentrated together, but the problem is that for the Golden Crow, this is definitely a matter of great benefits but only one disadvantage.

After all, the demon race was once the ruler of the three realms, and has survived three great eras.

If such great luck were to be concentrated on a Golden Crow, it would be terrifying just to think about it.

"Do not worry."

Marshal Tianpeng smiled mysteriously and said, "Regarding this, we already have a plan to deal with it."

Jiang Lin looked over curiously.

He was not surprised that there was a countermeasure. It would be strange if there was not. What made Jiang Lin curious was what kind of countermeasure it was?
Marshal Tianpeng did not answer, but smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Okay, I have told you everything you should know. Now get out and kill the enemy."

"And by the way, let's check the military discipline."

Jiang Lin did not ask any further questions, but obediently left the central military tent.

He had long been accustomed to this. At least the Grand Marshal did not completely become a riddler.

After leaving the tent, Jiang Lin once again went to the battlefield.

After the disturbance just now, the battlefield has now returned to the noisy fighting.

The Bull Demon King is nowhere to be found, while Nezha is rampant in the most conspicuous place.

Two great demon kings of the Taiyi Golden Immortal tried to stop Nezha, but they were obviously powerless.

Obviously, after Bull Demon King was seriously injured and left the stage, Nezha was completely liberated.

Without paying too much attention, Jiang Lin held the Seven Star Sword in his hand and scattered bright starlight. Any monster that came into contact with the bright star sword was no match for him.

Just as Jiang Lin and Nezha were rampaging on the battlefield, inside the demon clan's ancestral home.

It was still the meeting room, but there were several fewer people.

The First Elder, the Third Elder, and the Wild Beast were not present.

However, sitting on the main seat at the top in the middle was a young man.

The young man looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with black hair and red eyes, and a charming handsomeness. He glanced at the five powerful masters present with his calm eyes and sighed softly.

"Is this all the wealth our demon race has now?"

Except for the Flower Fairy, the other four powerful masters did not speak, but just sat quietly. It was obvious that the confrontation with the powerful masters of Heaven had not ended, but had intensified.

The flower fairy looked at the young man who was only at the Golden Immortal level, and spoke with a smile, with a hint of flattery in her tone.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, our demon race has been in decline until now. Fortunately, your Majesty has awakened and will surely turn the tide, lift our demon race back from the brink of death, and restore the ancient glory."

"Don't talk nonsense."

The young man called the Lord waved his hand, interrupting the Flower Fairy's words, and asked, "Where is the concubine you prepared for me?"

Hearing this, the flower fairy found it difficult to speak, but under the young man's intimidating eyes, she still spoke hesitantly.

"Your concubine... has been captured."
