Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 52 Immortal
Seeing Qianmian's defenses breached, Lin Xiangwen was also unhappy.

"Master, do you also despise me? Is liking women so noble? Does someone like me deserve to die?"

Looking at Lin Xiangwen, who was reversing the Heavenly Gang, Thousand-Faced Hand trembled.

I really want to slap this guy with such advanced ideas to death.

But this guy is still the martial arts teacher of Bailudong Academy, and his identity hasn't been exposed yet. Keeping this position is very useful.

Therefore, Qianmian could only temporarily suppress his anger.

"You... fine, go as you please. Xiang Wen, I only have one piece of advice for you: of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring."

Lin Xiangwen scoffed at this: "Our family has no throne to inherit, what use are descendants? Master, if I were considering the continuation of the family line, I would not be loyal to you."

Thousand Faces: "..."

It is justifiable and irrefutable.

"Master, isn't going against the established doctrines a tradition of our Holy Sect? Have you been in the academy for too long and started to align yourself with the imperial court's stance?"

Lin Xiangwen felt that Qianmian Xie was acting a bit too righteous, so he sincerely advised, "Master, don't forget, we are the villains."

"You scoundrel! Our Holy Church is not the villain; we are righteous people who save all people from suffering."

Qianmian spoke with righteous indignation: "Xiang Wen, I don't blame you for your misunderstanding because you don't have a deep understanding of the Holy Church's doctrines. But you should know that our Holy Church follows the path of righteousness and is by no means a group of people who plot and rebel."

Lin Xiangwen: "..."

I sense that Master is quite ill.

You can fool others, but how did you end up fooling yourself?

Qianmian could tell from Lin Xiangwen's expression that Lin Xiangwen had not listened to his earnest teachings at all and had no sense of belonging to the Holy Sect, so he frowned.

The ideological work within the Holy Church is still far from satisfactory.

"Xiang Wen, do you believe that all the doctrines of the Holy Church are lies?"

Lin Xiangwen quickly shook his head: "This disciple dares not."

Although he said he wouldn't dare, Qianmian could tell that Lin Xiangwen was thinking the same thing.

So Qianmian sighed: "Most people in the world share the same thought as you. They are all kept in the dark by the court and have not yet realized that chaos is coming and they are about to become sacrifices for the Yu royal family."

Lin Xiangwen looked confused: "Master, I don't understand."

"In this world, is there any dynasty that lasts for a thousand years?"

Qianmian sneered: "How many problems has Yu the Great accumulated over these thousand years? The history of a dynasty over a thousand years is a history of struggles between civil and military officials, struggles for succession, and struggles between the court and the martial arts world. Not to mention the danger of the ever-growing 'Nine Heavens,' the continuation of the thousand-year-old imperial family, and the continued exploitation of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. Yu the Great may seem strong now, but in reality, he is as precarious as a pile of eggs and is already on the verge of collapse."

Lin Xiangwen reminded him, "Master, there are immortals guarding the imperial court."

This has never been a secret in the world.

Qianmian had anticipated Lin Xiangwen's remark and sneered again: "What if the powerful figure behind the imperial court runs into trouble?"

Lin Xiangwen was taken aback.

This was something he had never considered.

"The world has undergone tremendous changes, making it far more difficult for immortals to continue existing than it was a thousand years ago. Do you think immortals can live forever? Have you ever considered the price they pay for immortality?"

Qianmian looked at Lin Xiangwen, who was deep in thought, and reminded him meaningfully, "Everything in this world has a price. Do you think the royal family will bear this price, or will the common people bear it?"

Without hesitation, Lin Xiangwen replied, "It must be the people of the world."

"What if the people of the world can't bear it in the end, and the gods behind the court are powerless to suppress it?" Qianmian asked.

Lin Xiangwen suddenly realized: "War is raging, and dragons and snakes are rising from the land."

He understood. No wonder the Demonic Church was so stubborn.

It's impossible that the entire Demonic Cult is made up of idiots.

It's all because the evil cult has access to a lot of information that ordinary people can't possibly access.

"A dynasty that is already corrupt and decadent cannot quell the chaos. Only by completely overthrowing it and rebuilding from the ashes can order be restored and a new life brought to the people. And who but our Holy Church can undertake this great task?"

His tone was full of confidence.

Lin Xiangwen didn't know whether Qianmian was fooling him or genuinely believed him.

But he discerned something.

So he tentatively asked, "Master, does our Holy Sect also have immortals supporting it?"

Qianmian smiled slightly: "The descent of Maitreya and the birth of the Bright King, do you really think it's just a slogan? The imperial court has been so relentlessly suppressing our Holy Sect, yet it has never dared to completely abolish the Maitreya faith. Have you ever wondered why?"

Lin Xiangwen, being a martial arts instructor at Bailudong Academy, was not so ignorant. He replied, "The official explanation is that Buddhism disagrees, and that Buddhism had formed a good relationship with His Majesty before His Majesty ascended the throne, so His Majesty cannot afford to break off relations."

Thousand Faces chuckled: "Do you believe that claim?"

Lin Xiangwen remained silent.

He used to believe.

If it's the official statement, how could it be false?
Now, he has some doubts.

Qianmian pointed out, "Today I will teach you a principle—nine times out of ten, anything that is officially denied is true."

Lin Xiangwen: "..."

Master is indeed the great demon of the Demonic Sect.

"In time, you will see things more clearly. Yu the Great no longer has the power to rule as he once did. More and more people will dare to challenge the court and escape unscathed. I am just the beginning, and I will be a landmark in history."

At this point, Qianmian slightly raised his head.

Clearly, the fact that he has made a name for himself in history brings him immense satisfaction.

Lin Xiangwen tried his best to remain calm.

"Master, even so, 'Nine Heavens' should still be very strong, right?"

Qianmian nodded: "Yu the Great will need the 'Nine Heavens' even more than before."

Lin Xiangwen could understand this sentence.

The more turbulent the times, the more necessary it is to use force to suppress unrest.

"Nine Heavens" has been the sharpest sword protecting the nation for the imperial court for thousands of years.

Unfortunately, Qianmian abruptly changed the subject: "But once 'Nine Heavens' is freed from its restraints, won't this national protective sword pierce the court itself?"

Lin Xiangwen carefully considered his words before speaking: "The imperial court should have means to check and balance 'Nine Heavens'."

"Of course, there are times when immortals don't have problems. But now, it's difficult. Which of the Grandmasters on the Heavenly Ranking isn't outstanding? And those young people from 'Nine Heavens' are all ambitious and cunning."

At this point, Qianmian laughed out loud: "Think about it, what would happen if the royal family produced a fool who tried to suppress 'Nine Heavens'?"

Lin Xiangwen shook his head: "No one in the royal family would be that stupid. The royal family and 'Nine Heavens' are practically one entity. When Tianjian blinded the princess, 'Nine Heavens' was able to protect him, and the royal family didn't seem to have any objections. Qi Shiyun provoked the crown prince, but she wasn't punished either."

"It's not that they didn't have opinions, but they were suppressed. It's not that the Crown Prince didn't want to punish Qi Shiyun, but the Emperor stopped him."

Thousand Faces chuckled again: "But fools will always appear. Do you think our Holy Sect has only been dealing with Jiangzhou all these years?"
