As the sun was setting, the banner outside Kaifeng that belonged exclusively to the Sun Moon God Sect was still fluttering in the wind. Tens of thousands of congregation members lined up their positions, shouting the slogan "For generations to come, unify the rivers and lakes".
If they didn't know in advance, no one would have imagined the frantic scene in front of them: these people suffered a big defeat a month ago.
However, when failure becomes a habit, it seems that it is not a big deal to lose another game.
As the leader of the Demon Cult, in the past two hundred years, he has launched more than ten wars between good and evil, all of which ended in failure. Without a strong heart, he cannot sustain it.
Suffering consecutive failures, but still being able to continue to launch the war between good and evil, besides ambition, the most important thing is profit.
The failure of the Sun Moon God Sect does not mean that the individual also failed. In fact, as long as you can survive the war, you can make a lot of money.
If not, how could such a large-scale war be launched continuously with the ambition of the leader alone?
If the interests of the leader and all the congregants are opposed, just change the leader.
Anyway, this is a world of low martial arts, even if it is number one in the world, it can't withstand the crowd tactics.
Without enough benefits, even if you control the congregation, it won't work. The Sun Moon God Sect is only the leader, and other forces need to participate in the war between good and evil.
In the eyes of the people in Jianghu, the great defeat and the damage to the Sun Moon God Sect were actually not as great as imagined.
In the Battle of Shaoshi Mountain, the main loss was the cannon fodder that was summoned temporarily, and the loss of the core congregation was only one or two out of ten.
The biggest damage caused is mainly morale. If it wasn't for going down Shaoshi Mountain and leading everyone to vote a few more times, everyone's pockets were bulging, and morale would not have recovered so quickly.
Unlike the famous decent sects that occupy a lot of resources, disciples of the disciples have fixed welfare benefits; the people in the suppressed Demon Cult are much more miserable, and everything has to be done by themselves.
The core congregation is better. Although the internal competition is fierce, there are still some resources. Among them, the treatment enjoyed by the best is no worse than that of the righteous elite disciples.
Collateral members are miserable. Whether it is cultivation resources or martial arts cheats, they have to fight on their own.
Either make great contributions and get a reward, or buy it with your own money. The income from daily tasks alone obviously cannot support the expenses.
The Demon Cult has been able to respond to every battle between good and evil in all previous battles. The most important reason is that money comes from robbery faster.
At this juncture, Dugu Qingyun's big battle was naturally not to satisfy his own vanity.
No one is willing to accept failure, and Dugu Qingyun is no exception. The defeat in the battle of Shaoshi Mountain does not mean that the Demon Cult is powerless to recover.
In fact, there are quite a few powerful factions in the magic way. It's just that the Sun Moon God Sect has been so popular in recent years that people in the world have temporarily forgotten these old forces.
Others can forget, but Dugu Qingyun will not. If there is no hope of doing it alone, then bring allies together.
The way out has been found, and it doesn't matter to Dugu Qingyun whether the Demon Cult can win the final victory now, but his own value must be demonstrated first.
Today's performance is for the invited guests. The effect is very obvious, just look at the expressions of everyone.
"Master Dugu, your sect is really full of talents! Looking at the entire martial arts world, there is no other force that can compare with your sect."
The middle-aged man who sighed was Tie Shuluo, the leader of the Western Demon Cult.
Since the last war in the Western Regions, the Western Demon Cult has not regained its vitality. In recent years, it has been relatively peaceful and rarely engages in affairs in the Central Plains.
However, no matter how it declines, under the joint strangulation of righteous forces such as Kunlun faction and Tianshan faction, it can live a happy life, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Although the Western Regions have a vast territory, compared with the Middle Earth, the conditions in all aspects are still far worse.
The innate upper limit is there, even in the heyday of the Western Demon Sect, it cannot be compared with the current Sun Moon God Sect.
It is impossible to say that I am not envious. It's a pity that these things are simply not enviable.
? If they were to learn from the Sun Moon God Sect to recruit troops like this, they might not need righteous ways to attack, and the Western Demon Sect would be overwhelmed by just eating.
In the era of the decline of martial arts, it is impossible to coerce the world with one person's power, and it is too unfriendly to the sects that pursue elitism.
Everyone's expressions are similar, the Sun Moon God Sect's junior talent reserve is too rich. No one can compare to it except the Ming court.
Everyone loves to hear good things, and Dugu Qingyun is no exception. capable of many demonsDao Dao's approval is not an easy task.
"Brother Iron is absurdly praised!"
"The Divine Sect has no other advantages, that is, it has a large number of disciples. The larger the number, the higher the probability of producing talents.
Compared with you, we are still far behind in the training of the younger generation of disciples.
What's more, now that the righteous way is so rampant, seven out of ten of the resources in the rivers and lakes are in their hands, and our life is not easy!
Today I invite everyone to come here to discuss major plans, in order to break the current situation in the arena and win a relaxed development environment for our disciples of the younger generation. "
No matter how excited he was, Dugu Qingyun still did not forget today's main task. After the short "Versailles", immediately get straight to the topic.
Duan Chengfei, the ancestor of Xuedao, said with a wry smile: "Master Dugu, if someone from Fei Duan didn't give you face, it's because I was not prepared for Xuedaomen.
?Different from the abundance of talented people in your teaching, my Xuedao sect is sparsely populated. I'm afraid even if you get involved, it won't do much. "
There is no way, the Blood Knife Sect pays too much attention to killing and killing, and never recruits disciples easily.
If you want to get started, you have to go through a killing test first. There are very few people who can pass, and it is impossible to expand the team.
Dugu Qingyun smiled slightly and said: "Brother Duan is too modest, who doesn't know that your blood knife sect is best at killing. Although there are few disciples, all of them are elites.
As far as I know, your faction's "Blood Knife Sutra" also needs to be slaughtered before it can truly achieve great success.
It is a rare opportunity to be able to let go of hands and feet to kill. If you miss it now, you don't know when the next river and lake chaos will be.
Let's do this, as long as Brother Duan is willing to help: in the following battles, as long as conditions permit, we will try our best to let Brother Duan try the sword first. Brother Duan can also get an extra share of the spoils he got. "
?With the current interests, Dugu Qingyun is not afraid that the blood sword will not take the bait. Unless Duan Chengfei doesn't want to break through to the top, this killing feast is destined to be indispensable.
The refusal just now was just for bargaining, hoping to sell it for a good price.
After all, going out to do things at this time is to fight for the Sun Moon God Sect.
With the little manpower of Xuedaomen, even if they rob the site, they can't manage it. What they are best at is robbery, and they go out to grab what they lack.
Anyway, there are few of them, and just one vote is enough to last them for several years. There is no need to operate the site for a long time like other sects.
Seeing Duan Chengfei nodding in agreement, Dugu Qingyun turned his gaze to the others, as if looking for a second breakthrough.
Lu Zuqian, the owner of the magician's palace directly opposite, joked: "Master Dugu don't look at me, Lu is willing to join, but it's a pity that my magician's palace is not allowed in the world.
If we enter the Central Plains on a large scale, I am afraid that people from the imperial court will come to our door before participating in the battle between good and evil. "
When dynasties change, political standing is very important. It's a pity that the Magician's Palace followed the previous dynasty and killed many of Lao Zhu's cronies before the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
As a remnant of the previous dynasty, the Magician's Palace has always been the most wanted criminal. Emperor Taizu even personally decreed that the affiliation of Fanmaoshi Palace will never be pardoned.
No matter what they want to do now, anyway, when the Ming court sees the people in the magician's palace, they only have one word - kill.
Other factions of the Righteous Path also made similar decisions. When dealing with national traitors, the orthodox factions naturally don't mind using their heads to gain prestige for themselves.
Even Dugu Qingyun, the leader of the Demon Cult, was unwilling to deal with the Magician Palace. After all, there is also a chain of contempt in the Demon Cult circle.
In fact, he never invited anyone from the Magician's Palace, they are uninvited.
