Destiny is ashes

Chapter 306 The Smell of Blood (13)

Now the situation is clear.

Because You Ruhui and the high-ranking masters of the five Chenli sects were all confronting Dachen, there was no reinforcement behind Ming Guangchen.

Of course, this also means that the two real people who ambushed him had no reinforcements behind them.

But it was Ming Guangchen who was at a disadvantage and needed reinforcements.

The most terrifying thing is that Dachen’s accusation is actually correct.

They really weren't slandering, because the people who transferred You Ruhui away were none other than Ming Guangchen and An Jing, the core disciples of the Five Chenli Sects!
Fortunately, You Ruhui is already in Zhongzhou, and Dachen will definitely not be able to find evidence, so this confrontation will most likely end in failure.

This is Ming Guangchen’s own karma.

Taking advantage of the tense relationship between the Five Sects and Dachen, the Zuhuan and Huangyang Sects, which had already launched a proxy war through the Beiman and Dachen in the northern border of the Hanhai, naturally also hoped that the Jiankongshan Mingjing and Yuyuanshan Liuguang Sects in Xishan would go to war with Dachen in Xishan.

At the same time, they also hoped to use this opportunity to make the wavering Taiming Sect make up its mind and reorganize the alliance of the five sects.

This is not only to share their pressure, but also to prevent the three sects that have not yet started the war from accumulating strength, so that they will become weaker and weaker while the rear becomes stronger and stronger, leading to annexation.

You must know that in the last era, the era of the Imperial Court, there were seven sects in the land of Chenli!
"Moreover, according to recent developments, someone wants to weaken the Mingjing Sect, and this someone...it can even be said that it is the other four sects, led by the Taiming Sect."

Ming Guangchen raised his hand, pulled out a light wall map, and sighed: "The Taiming Sect is in the middle, Zuohuan Huangyang is behind the Northern Barbarians, and Liuguangmingjing is behind the Hundred Sects."

"Dachen's expansion policy hundreds of years ago oppressed the living space of the Northern Barbarians and created an entire 'Hanbei Road'. Now, the Northern Barbarians' counterattack is just an ordinary counterattack in the rules of many sects - if the Northern Frontier troops under the imperial court do not fight back to their homeland, then the Northern Barbarians can take back their 'homeland'."

"But it's different here in Xishan... There aren't many strong cities and strong passes in the Northern Frontier, and only one Qingyu Pass can barely compare to the big passes in Xishan. But here in Xishan, the mountains are undulating, the land veins are thick, the big cities support each other, and the strong passes are as tall as mountains. Fighting here is much more difficult than fighting in the Northern Frontier."

"If we fight here, it won't be a proxy war, but a real head-on confrontation. It will really result in bloodshed and mutual depletion of resources."

"The most important thing is that Xishan has been the dividing line since ancient times. If we take action first, we must find a reason that is justifiable and has sufficient weight."

"We are the beginning."

Looking at the map, An Jing and Ming Guangchen spoke at the same time, and Ming Guangchen praised: "Well, you see it very clearly."

"The relationship between Mingjing Sect, Liuguang Sect and Dachen is quite harmonious, so there is no reason for them to take action. If they want to drag Mingjing Sect into the water, the simplest and most direct way is to create hatred between the two sides."

"Now we know clearly that it is the Huangyang Sect, the Zuohuan Sect, and the Western Patrol of the Tianyi Demon Sect who are here to kill you and me. But when that time comes, we will surely die on the territory of Dachen and at the hands of Dachen officials."

"And the same is true in reverse. Dachen naturally has hawkish military officers. No matter who killed the military officer who came to Kanming City to take up his post, it will definitely be someone from the Five Sects who killed him in the end - or even someone like you and me who are already dead."

"Even..." At this point, Ming Guangchen looked around the entire Kanming City: "Everyone in this city is a sacrifice."

"They were looking for Ruhui's sacrifice before, and now, they can naturally be the sacrifice to advance the situation."

"If they were all dead, then Dachen would have a reason to attack the Baibu territory... even though this territory is a meaningless, bitter and cold place, and even the people of the Baibu want to join Dachen."

“But for local officials, expanding territory is a military achievement, while accepting the education of foreign people is not necessarily the achievement of their generation.”

"Sacrifice? Sacrifice... Ha, taking human life lightly." An Jing sneered: "These beasts are best at confusing right and wrong, calling a zebra a zebra... It's not surprising."

Thinking of this, An Jing also understood why the Demon Cult had two attitudes: "As for the Demon Cult's Western Patrol Envoy, it's also very simple - as long as the Five Chenli Sects and Dachen go to war, the Tianyi Demon Cult will be able to fish in troubled waters. The Western Patrol Envoy can not only take revenge, but also better corrupt the areas of Xishan."

"As for the Northern Envoy, she is developing in another direction. She chose to infiltrate Dachen. The rise and fall of Dachen is her rise and fall. Starting a war for no reason will only weaken her influence. The two sides must have had a conflict within the church, so she turned against the Western Envoy and wanted to join forces with us to kill him!"

With the information from the Northern Inspector and Ming Guangchen, An Jing's understanding of everything became clearer.

At this point, the reason why the people of Zuhuan and Huangyang Sect are so arrogant is because they have formed an alliance with the Western Envoy. Their actions may seem brutal, but if the plan fails, it can be interpreted as "killing the evil cult spy" in the future - Dachen will have to thank them.

At that time, even if Kanming City suffered some terrible losses and An Jing and Ming Guangchen died, they could tell the truth: it was the Demon Cult who did it.

The Demon Cult gained benefits, and no one had any moral burden... This might be the reason why everyone tolerated the Heaven's Will Demon Cult even though they were disgusting everyone. There was only one doubt.

——How did these people stop Ming Guangchen?

in other words.

——Why did the mysterious Jinyuan Tianxing attack Mingguangchen?

This is the real core, but unfortunately there is no clue at present.

"The longer you delay karma, the bigger the problem will become..."

Although An Jing's steady development in the past two months has indeed greatly improved his strength, it has also caused many things to develop into situations beyond imagination.

He has already felt the coming momentum... the huge wave of cause and effect, the evil karma rolling in, and every cause is due to his and Ming Guangchen's past actions.

If An Jing did not go to Kanming City to recuperate after escaping from the pursuit of the Demon Cult, but went directly back to Hanbei through Chenli, he might have fewer opportunities, but it would also be more stable... maybe.

But if An Jing hadn't been there, whether You Ruhui was found or not, Ming Guangchen would not have stayed in Kanming City for long. His movements would have been freer and he would naturally not have been blocked by his enemies.

This is probably the disaster that the two of them must face.

Of course, if they were asked to do it again, they would still make the same choice.

An Jing will still take Ming Guangchen as his master, and Ming Guangchen will never regret accepting him as his disciple. This is their character.

When, when, when——

At this time, the Kanming bell rang.

Hearing the bell, all the residents in Kanming City became panicked.

But soon, they all began to pack up their belongings in a uniform, even military-like order and evacuate to other villages outside the city.

In the Dachen frontier, where every household has someone who has received militia training, if you hear an order to abandon the city... then it's best to do it.

Whether it is monsters attacking the city or demons descending; whether it is an army conquering or warriors dueling.

If the city is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, but if it dies in the aftermath, it will be more meaningless than weeds.

Especially the construction of the underground city by Dachen was originally based on the formation. The city at the center of the formation was the core, and there were several auxiliary villages or towns around it, which could also accommodate some population.

In the distant mountains, dark clouds are gathering. The spring thunder and rain should be the first signs of life in the year, but now, the dark clouds and mountains are wriggling, expanding, surging, and pressing towards Kanming City like living things.

A thunderstorm was about to come, but there was no wind at all in the gradually quiet city.

"The divine bell has rung, and Kanming City is about to become a battlefield."

Ming Guangchen and An Jing looked at the city that seemed to be dying, and the thunder that was faintly flashing in the distance. He said calmly: "The storm is coming, An Jing, are you afraid?"

An Jing just clenched the long mace in his hand. He did not directly answer Ming Guangchen's question. He just closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed: "What a delicious smell of blood."

After opening his eyes, An Jing's voice was so calm that it was almost cruel: "It's so beautiful, with thunderstorms and strong winds, dark clouds covering the sun, bloody battles on the border, and weapons everywhere. It's the scene of the sun and the moon without light, and the bloody Taibai... Master, even the sky is protecting you and me."

"It seems that this time, we can kill a few more scumbag demons."

“Haha! Well said!” Ming Guangchen was stunned at first, then he laughed loudly, with a hint of ferocity in his tone: “It just so happens that I am about to advance, so this time I will use these meaningless clowns as sacrifices for my great divine manifestation!”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and my entire body in the mirror turned into a stream of light and sank into An Jing's brows!
