Destiny is ashes

Chapter 360 Selfishness (33)

She didn't ask An Jing how he knew the information about Zhen Chi. She believed that An Jing would not lie to her, just as An Jing had never doubted her words.

"That's right." After thinking for a moment, Bai Qinghan nodded: "Some time ago, the internal intelligence from Dachen indicated that the northern border would shrink - Tianwu was lost due to the death of King Jing, and King De is still arguing with the civil and military officials in Shenjing."

"Without the suppression of the Heavenly Warriors, the entire Vast Sea Domain's main earth veins can only shrink and gather the tributary divine soldiers from all parties to guard it."

"Of course, it's also because Dachen lost to Mingjing Sect's Chengguang Tianjun in the Pure Yang Battle some time ago. The two sides decided on the scope of the battle, and the area around Broken Blade Mountain was also included in the battlefield. It's normal to withdraw the magic weapons here."

"Sure enough."

An Jing had some guesses about this, and now after hearing it, he knew that both statements were correct.

Without Tianwu guarding, the main vein of the Vast Sea Domain would indeed be turbulent, and summoning the divine soldiers was a matter of course - why was it mobilized now? Of course, it was because of the efficiency within Dachen. Mobilizing the divine soldiers of the tributary veins was a big deal, and no one could take this responsibility, so the provincial governors and governors below would not take any action, but would delay the time as much as possible.

But some time ago, it was the King of Baishan Pass who negotiated with the Five Sects' Heavenly Sovereigns. These were the bigwigs of the imperial court who could get things done, take responsibilities, and prevent others from attacking. They set the scope of the war in the northern border, which naturally made the mobilization of the divine soldiers feasible.

Of course, this also requires time to adjust. I have been in Linjiang City for just over ten days, so the time fits.

"I probably understand."

Putting these pieces of information together, An Jing understood the reasons for the various changes in the Northern Frontier. He heaved a long sigh, "I thought it was some inexplicable big plan, but now it seems to be a matter of course."

"Of course, that doesn't mean there's no big plan." Bai Qinghan shook her head. She reminded him, "At least according to the intelligence from the Divine Religion, there are undercurrents in Dachen. It's hard to say whether there's any selfish motive behind the plan to move the Divine Soldiers away from the border."

"Selfish motives, of course."

An Jing narrowed his eyes, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the wall, looking directly at the government office in the center of Linjiang City, which is now the location of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce: "This Chamber of Commerce, I guess it may be the glove of some high-ranking officials above. This time, they came to the border to replace the local government with private forces, to grab land, and transfer public property to private use."

"The Dachen government has given them the opportunity, so they will naturally tear off a piece of meat from this giant beast to fertilize themselves."

"As for greater selfish motives... maybe there are, but they have nothing to do with me."

An Jing smiled calmly: "After I settle my mother down for a while and finish one thing, I will take her to Mingjing Sect - by then, what does Dachen have to do with me?"

"Yeah." Bai Qinghan didn't comment. She just asked a few questions: "But can Mingjing Sect really live in peace? Will Dachen really let you leave smoothly with your mother, cutting off all worries?"

"This is indeed a problem." An Jing didn't care: "But I can solve it. If I really can't, we can talk about it when the time comes."

In fact, he also knew that there might be problems within the Mingjing Sect. Apart from other things, there must be traitors, and there might be people who are connected with the Heavenly Demon. Moreover, Chenli is a lawless place after all, and the sect's laws are definitely not as perfect and equal as the laws of the Dachen Kingdom.

But at least, his mother was under his protection, and if anything really happened to her, he should take responsibility instead of just regretting it.

Speaking of this, An Jing looked at Bai Qinghan, and he asked curiously: "You came from Tianyi Mountain... Xiaobai, what is the situation of the Benshan of Tianyi Demon Sect?"

"That's what I wanted to tell you, too."

When asked this question, Bai Qinghan also sighed. She closed her eyes, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "The environment over at Tianyi Mountain is beyond my imagination."

She told An Jing about her life in Tianyi Mountain in a concise and detailed manner.

Being in the Tianyi Demon Sect, Bai Qinghan discovered that there was no particularly bloody "cannibalism" on Tianyi Mountain.

Tianyi Mountain is located in the center of Cangxie Domain. It was the ancestral land chosen by Tianyi Patriarch when he descended to Beixuanjizhou. The clouds here are like white jade, and the fragrance spreads for thousands of miles. There is flowing water between the mountains as a bridge. As long as you step on it, the flowing spiritual water will send anyone to anywhere they want to go.

Although the monks here are members of the Demonic Cult, each of them is well-dressed, speaks and behaves appropriately, and there is not even much blood on their bodies.

Even if there were, most of them were just martial arts fights, without any bloody curses of slaughtering ordinary people, just like the true teachings of the big sects. As soon as she, the goddess, settled in Xuanyin Peak, she had a team that belonged to her alone - this team existed from the beginning, belonged to Xuanyin Peak alone, and was just waiting for the goddess who met the requirements to come to the world.

They are the power of the Xuanyin Goddess. Bai Qinghan can use this power to do anything, build power, conquer enemy countries, open up the wilderness, clear out evil spirits... anything.

Anything is fine.

In Tianyi Mountain, the biggest rule is that there are no rules.

So rules are everywhere.

When Bai Qinghan was cultivating at Xuanyin Peak, he saw a martial vein master who was returning to the mountain to report on his work. Perhaps because of work problems, he had an argument with another martial vein master on the way. The smile on the face of the Liushan master, who had always been smiling and looked very friendly, slowly disappeared.

His natural state of mind, smooth thinking, and carefree and natural state of mind were broken.

"If I can't give you a good beating, I have no right to stay in the mountains."

Having said that, the two men agreed to fight, and a fierce battle took place on the fighting stage at the foot of the peak, but Grandmaster Liushan came out victorious.

The master who was in a bad mood did not die, but his expression was more terrifying than death.

Bai Qinghan paid attention to him.

She paid attention to the defeated master, wanting to see if there was the same darkness in Tianyi Mountain as in Xuanming Manor.

She did see it—but it wasn't what she had imagined.

The Grand Master lost all his jobs. It sounds like he has nothing to do, but it is equivalent to losing all his power. He became penniless. All his magic weapons were taken away by the victorious Grand Master. All the supplies within the church were cut off. He could no longer go to the strange land to practice, nor could he return to his former altar to become the center of tens of thousands of followers.

He is not dead. His wife and children, his apprentices, his friends and subordinates are still the same. Although they may change in the future, at least now, this failed master still has his own home and no one discriminates against him because of it.

But Bai Qinghan understood that in the system of Tianyi Divine Religion, he was already dead.

Because he overstepped his bounds, angered others, and lost everything in the battle.

Unless he changes.

Unless, when you have nothing, you get something again.

He goes alone to find an unexplored island in the sea, kills all the goblins and monsters on it, and plants the flag of the cult on the island.

Or when you are the only one left, you can study the secrets of martial arts and create your own unique skills - no matter how crude or cheap, as long as they are innovative and have different effective effects, it will be fine.

Or, go to a foreign country alone, outside the influence of the Divine Will Religion, start from scratch again, and set up an altar.

There are many ways.

It’s just that everything is difficult and painful, and one needs to start from scratch, not rely on anyone, not rely on any religion, and create value with one’s own strength.

Then, dedicate this value to the religion.

The Divine Religion will once again accept him and give him treatment far beyond what he has contributed, allowing him to once again become the Grand Master of the Divine Religion, possessing the Divine Religion's resources, the Divine Religion's protection, and the Divine Religion's great inheritance.
