In this extraordinary world, whether rich or poor, commoner or noble, everyone craves power, and the extraordinary factions connect all classes and can extend their tentacles to every corner.
Take Huilu Island, for example. Although the fire-breathing masters in and around Huilu Island were just ordinary folk, and the Xiangyu Sect didn't specifically send people to teach and manage them, these fire-breathing masters still paid a portion of their income to the Xiangyu Sect's outer sect every year. And if the Xiangyu Sect needed anything, it could easily summon and command these people to do something.
If you are seeing this for the first time, or if you are living in the information age of your previous life, you may not understand this pattern, but in the local area, or in all states and counties in the world, this is just a normal thing.
All power has its source. The cultivation system of the Eastern Continent today, if traced back to the most ancient and earliest times, can probably be connected to the Five Phoenixes, or the Phoenix Witch.
Wu Feng passed down the complete practice method, forming various factions. The disciples in these factions gathered together and had the initial strength to resist monsters and invasions, and slowly formed their own different tribes, and then the country gradually emerged on this basis.
Everyone has different aptitudes, some are dull, some are sharp. Not everyone can practice complex and profound methods. Perhaps they only need some professional skills to make a living. That is why some people with a common goal of career or livelihood skills gather together to form some professional factions, such as the "Tuo Shi Tang" which was born out of the Cao Gang, the "Qing Lu Yuan" where doctors gather, the dyeing workshops united to form the "Jiu Se Fang", the fish masters' faction "Yu Qing Wu", and so on.
Going further down, it might be difficult to even learn advanced professional skills, and one could only make a living by performing simple techniques. For example, the fire-breathing masters of Huilu Continent, although they had no faction, their skills could be traced back to the outer disciples of a certain Xiangyu sect hundreds of years ago, who passed down some cultivation skills in the hope that their families could live a better life.
These extraordinary skills may be crude, but during their hundreds of years of inheritance, they have been constantly refined and assisted by various props and tools, forming a relatively reliable system that can deal with many weak monsters. This has also greatly met the needs of some remote villages and towns.
When encountering difficult and extremely powerful monsters, these fire-breathing masters can also report the information to the outer sect organization of the Xiangyu Sect, so as to invite experts to help solve the problem. Because of the existence of the Xiangyu Sect, people like fire-breathing masters in other provinces and counties will not cross the border and interfere at will, thus forming a stable social structure.
If it were in the peaceful and prosperous times of the past, the Xiangyu Sect sending messages to various factions would have been a very tough act, which might have been resented or even rejected by the factions in various states.
But the situation is different now. The chaos in the world is already an open matter, and the disaster of dragon veins has occurred in various places. With the current strength of the four veins of Xuanwu, the factions in the southwestern continents really cannot muster any resistance. What's more, the legendary new leader is the Golden Sparrow Priestess who was appointed by the emperor and recognized by Chifeng, and has the ability to regulate the dragon veins of the world.
Anyone with foresight can vaguely sense a fact, that is, the southwestern continents may all be under the control of this Golden Sparrow Priestess in the future. Regardless of strength, righteousness, or the people's need for stability in each state, all lead to this result.
If this outcome comes true, then today's resistance and defiance may become a joke or even stupidity in the future.
This is also the reason why even though several other sects whose strength is not much inferior to that of the Xiangyu Sect are now so low-key and hesitant. In terms of disciples and strength, they are not much weaker than the Xiangyu Sect, and they even have their own secret caves.
But, given the will of the people and the trend of the times, do we really have to fight for this, even to the point of life and death? I think the request of the goldfinch priestess does not seem excessive. Isn't it just a ceasefire and not participating in the dynastic struggle?
After listening to the three people's explanations, Loran Hill slowly sorted out his thoughts and understood why it went so smoothly.
"It seems that we are really lucky to have avoided many disasters of war." The girl sighed softly. She has seen many wars in the Western Continent. It is really great to be able to avoid some of them now.
After learning some more details, Loran Hill asked about another special force.
"How will King Dai react now? He will probably be disgusted or hate me." Loran Hill looked at the red camellia tree beside him and recalled the scene at the Burning Tail Banquet more than ten years ago.
Prince Dai also appeared at that time, but the two did not have much communication. She only remembered that Prince Dai looked a little fat and not in a very good mood, apparently because the emperor supported Prince Huainan at that time.
"King Dai..." The three of them looked at each other and then continued.
"King Dai has actually…actually, King Dai has sunk into depravity, drinking and getting drunk every day, and has been neglecting state affairs for a long time."
"Ever since the failed attack on Luojing that day, with heavy casualties and a crushing defeat, King Dai has lost his spirit. Since then, various states have rebelled, and many prefectures and counties have withdrawn their support. Now, only six states remain under King Dai's command, and even these six states are in a state of panic."
"So fragile?" Loran Hill blinked in disbelief, seeming a little surprised.
In her previous imagination, King Dai should be a shrewd and greedy man, so why did he give up like this?
"It seems... yes."
When they saw Loran Hill asking again, they suddenly became a little nervous, thinking that they might have revealed some details that made the head sister dissatisfied or unacceptable. It seemed that they would have to send more people to monitor Prince Dai's Mansion after returning this time. What if this person was really pretending to be stupid and plotting some big plan that they didn't notice?
