It was from that time onward that righteous sects sprang up like mushrooms after rain. There was no war in the world, and young men and women admired the supernatural powers of cultivators who could fly and enter the earth. While dreaming of becoming gods or Buddhas, they joined many righteous sects and began their arduous cultivation.
By this time, there were hundreds of sects of varying sizes in the Central Plains. Among them, the Buddhist sects still regarded Jinyuan Temple, Pudu Nunnery, and Bodhi Temple as the most prestigious. Among the Taoist sects, Yuandao Sect received royal patronage and developed the most rapidly, becoming the de facto leader of the Taoist sects.
Under such circumstances, the strength of the righteous path in the Central Plains should not be underestimated.
Li Molin and Liuli arrived in the Central Plains and immediately spread out numerous demonic feathered birds, thus obtaining this news.
They then selected a large city on the south bank of the Ling River, and either killed or drove out the people in the city. The city was rebuilt the next day. They raised and reinforced the city walls, and engraved magic spells on the walls to increase their defensive power.
The demons embarked on a massive construction project in the city, building a palace complex in the city center and slightly altering the city's residences, all of which they then moved into.
So the Demon City was rebuilt, and Li Molin named it God and Demon City.
The demons launched a large-scale attack on the Central Plains and completed the reconstruction of the City of Gods and Demons in just two days, leaving all the disciples of the righteous path astonished.
Following Li Molin's order, the thirty-six demon generals, in groups of three, each led their own thousand-strong armies, and dispersed to launch a massive attack on the righteous sects' mountain gates, seizing their blessed lands. In a short time, countless newly emerging sects were wiped out, and large numbers of righteous disciples walking the mortal realm were killed. The demonic flames of the Central Plains were reignited, their momentum overwhelming.
Not long after the reconstruction of the City of Gods and Demons, the Flood Dragon Clan sent five hundred young Flood Dragons, and Li Molin still placed them under Liuli's command.
Li Molin then led the remaining ten thousand-plus demons to defend the city, issuing orders from within the Divine Demon City. Meanwhile, Liuli led over a thousand divine beast youths on a large-scale offensive, attacking Buddhist sects and assassinating any Buddhist disciples traveling outside.
Even after a century, Liuli still remembered the blood feud of her entire clan, and the horrific scenes she witnessed after falling into the maze of memories in the Bodhi Forest. That's why she acted ruthlessly and cruelly.
After several days, the leaders of the righteous sects gathered to discuss the matter and reactivated the beacon towers, temporarily halting the demons' advance into the Central Plains. All the righteous disciples who were traveling outside were recalled by their respective sects, no longer daring to wander alone.
After temporarily stabilizing the demons' attack, the Buddhist Jinyuan Temple sent a letter to all the leaders of Buddhist sects to discuss how to kill the evil fox that had evolved into a nine-tailed fox and completely eliminate the threat to Buddhism!
Liuli, accompanied by a powerful and highly offensive divine beast youth, specifically targeted Buddhist temples. In just ten days since the demons arrived in the Central Plains, they had already destroyed seven newly established Buddhist temples with limited power and one temple of medium strength, displaying an extremely arrogant attitude.
In addition to their long-standing feud with the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, Buddhist disciples all deeply resent Liuli, harboring a profound hatred for her.
Therefore, the Buddhist sect completely disregarded the Taoist sect's request to unite and defeat the demon race again, replying that they should kill the evil fox first before discussing anything else.
The various Taoist sects were furious at this news, but there was nothing they could do. They could only try to protect themselves from the onslaught of the demons and help each other to avoid being wiped out by the many arrogant demons. They would wait until the Buddhist sect succeeded before discussing joining forces.
