Chapter 363 There is no such thing as a person who is born to be possessed by evil!
Ever since Shao Wenqin managed to escape by fighting five enemies at once, none of the five supreme elders of the Yunxiao Sect who were at the Spirit Transformation Stage dared to continue their retreat. All of them were on high alert to guard against Shao Wenqin's surprise attack.
In order to lure Shao Wenqin to take action again, he even released all the disciples of Yunxiao Sect out of the mountain gate as bait, spreading the news in the world of immortal cultivation to provoke Shao Wenqin to take action.
However, the Yunxiao Sect still underestimated Shao Wenqin's ability to hide herself and develop, and she didn't show up for a long time. No matter how anxiously the Yunxiao Sect wanted to find her whereabouts, it was helpless.
Even asking the Pavilion Master of Tianji to personally divine her whereabouts had yielded no results. At most, they followed the trail of Shao Wenqin's Spirit Transformation Stage puppet substitute, but after the puppet substitute fell completely asleep, even this last clue disappeared.
Now, after finally finding Shao Wenqin's presence on these two large rift valleys, the Yunxiao Sect's Grand Elder was both surprised and frightened.
The surprise was that he finally found a clue, but the fear was that from the aura he sensed, he could feel that the other party seemed to have become stronger again.
Shao Wenqin has indeed become stronger in recent years, and has gained greater control over the power of the Demon Star, but what has really significantly improved her strength is her set of spiritual treasures and the magical powers she has comprehended, and her realm has not improved much.
The reason why the Supreme Elder of Yunxiao Sect who came to the Great Rift Valley to inspect in person felt that the aura left by Shao Wenqin was stronger than before was purely because the person he saw last time was not Shao Wenqin himself, but Shao Wenqin's puppet substitute. The strength of the puppet substitute was not as good as Shao Wenqin's original body, so the aura intensity was naturally a little weaker.
So he accidentally guessed the truth that Shao Wenqin's strength had greatly improved.
The Fifth Grand Elder, who was ranked fifth among the Grand Elders of Yunxiao Sect, hurried back to the sect and informed the other four Grand Elders of the news.
After hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression became stern, and he said, "We can't delay this any longer. This person has an unknown origin, is very powerful, and has profound attainments in formations. He has improved in just over a decade, and if we delay this any longer, the situation will be disadvantageous to us."
After all, the strength of their five supreme elders has not improved much in many years. They have been stuck in their realm and strength for many years. They have stagnated, while the enemy has made rapid progress. Naturally, the longer they drag on, the lower their chances of winning.
The fifth elder asked, "Then how can we lure them out?"
The Grand Elder pondered and said, "The village where the Demon Star reincarnated should still be there, right? Arrest all the mortals in that village... No, arrest all the mortals in that village and the nearby towns! I don't believe that the Demon Star reincarnation can remain indifferent."
The Great Supreme Elder had a stern look on his face, he knew very well that those so-called reincarnations of the Demon Stars were not born evil, before they awakened the power of the Demon Stars, they were no different from ordinary mortals, it was just that the power of the Demon Stars was sealed in their bodies. In order to solve this hidden danger, the Yunxiao Sect naturally would not care whether these reincarnated bodies were good or evil.
In order to occupy the moral high ground, the Yunxiao Sect must of course portray the reincarnated Demon Star as a great demon who wants to destroy the world. As for whether he himself is kind or evil, it is not important.
According to historical records, the reincarnations of the Demon Star are generally kind-hearted. After all, if they were evil, there would be no chance for the Yunxiao Sect to find them and seal them up. It wouldn't be long before the seal was broken, and the power of the Demon Star would be released, causing a world-destroying catastrophe.
Now, several decades have passed since this generation of Demon Star reincarnation came to the world, and there is no sign of the world-destroying catastrophe. This shows that the power of the Demon Star is still sealed in the body of the Demon Star reincarnation. This Demon Star reincarnation should be a good and lawful camp.
If the other party heard that they had implicated the mortals of their birthplace, they would definitely not feel at ease. Whether it was the reincarnation of the Demon Star coming to rescue them personally, or asking that unknown female cultivator in the God Transformation Stage to rescue them, the Yunxiao Sect would be able to achieve its goal.
This idea of the Supreme Elder was undoubtedly the only way to lure out the enemy at the moment, so the order was quickly implemented.
Shaojia Village, which had lived in peace for decades, was almost faced with a devastating disaster this time. A giant hand captured the entire Shaojia Village along with several nearby villages and towns, taking away people, houses and land, digging deep into the ground.
Anyone can see that this was done by a monk.
The cultivators who were more well-informed could find out that it was done by the cultivators of Yunxiao Sect. The reason was that there was an evil demon cultivator hiding among these mortals. So the cultivators of Yunxiao Sect were worried that the demon cultivator would cause unrest, so they simply brought all these mortals to Yunxiao Sect to slowly search for the whereabouts of the demon cultivator.
After this statement was made, many cultivators still felt that the Yunxiao Sect was truly merciful and willing to go to great lengths for the lives of a group of mortals.
And those mortals were extremely lucky, as they could actually live in the territory of Yunxiao Sect in the future. Being so close to Yunxiao Sect, those descendants with good spiritual roots in the future could easily join Yunxiao Sect. Even ordinary mortals without spiritual roots could cure all diseases and live a hundred years in such a rich spiritual environment of Yunxiao Sect.
Only a few people really know the inside story.
At least after hearing the news, Si Yuan and Shao Wenqin did not think that the Yunxiao Sect was really so kind, nor did they think that the Yunxiao Sect would really go to such a big fuss just to catch a demon cultivator.
The place where the Yunxiao Sect captured Shao Wenqin just happened to include Shaojia Village, where Shao Wenqin was born. Isn't this very suspicious?
Si Yuan immediately guessed that Yunxiao Sect's move was aimed at Shao Wenqin.
But Shao Wenqin didn't know that she was subconsciously speculating the worst about her enemies because of her hostile relationship with the Yunxiao Sect.
Until Si Yuan told her: "Among the mortals captured by the Yunxiao Sect, there is a village called Shaojia Village."
Shao Wenqin, who had lived in Yuyang City since childhood and never knew that she was actually born in the distant Shaojia Village: "......?"
Shao Wenqin was a smart person. Even though Si Yuan didn't say it directly, she guessed the truth from the fact that Si Yuan specifically mentioned this matter and from the connection between the 'Shao' in Shaojia Village and her own surname 'Shao': "So Shaojia Village is our hometown? The Yunxiao Sect is coming for us?!"
Si Yuan nodded: "When you were born, it caused a strange phenomenon in the world, so your mother and I took you to move to Yuyang City urgently. Since the people from Yunxiao Sect were able to find you before, they must have been able to find Shao Village. Now they must have captured the people from Shao Village in order to lure you out. Otherwise, how could such a small matter cause such a stir in the world of immortal cultivation."
Even though Yunxiao Sect's actions involve the life and death of tens of thousands of mortals, it is indeed a trivial matter in the world of immortal cultivation.
For the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, mortals are like leeks in the fields, and the only thing they can provide them is the blood supply of the new generation.
Although the children of monks have a higher chance of having spiritual roots, monks have difficulty giving birth and have few children.
Mortals are different. They have a short lifespan but give birth to many children in large numbers. With such a large base, many children with spiritual roots are born. These are the reserve fresh blood of the world of immortal cultivation.
Therefore, the righteous sects are still very caring towards the mortals within their sphere of influence.
The demonic sects do not have such a long-term vision, and do not attach much importance to the so-called reserve forces. The demonic practitioners are more selfish and do not care about the inheritance to future generations.
However, the cultivation methods of demon cultivators are very cruel. They either require the flesh and blood of corpses or souls. Mortals are just cultivation materials in the eyes of demon cultivators, and they are recyclable ones.
The mortals within the influence of the demonic sect live in dire straits, but they are not exterminated, because the demonic cultivators still understand sustainable development. The mortals are kept in captivity by the demonic cultivators, just like leeks in the field. Once they are cut, as long as the roots are not broken, they will soon grow again and can be harvested continuously.
Compared to the evil sects, the righteous sects are much better to the mortals under their command. At least they don't regularly capture large numbers of people to practice martial arts or refine magic weapons. But the situation was not much better, it was all thanks to the devil cultivators as a foil. It was no big deal for the aftermath of the fight between the righteous cultivators to destroy a city with hundreds of thousands of mortals. No one would really go looking for trouble with the two great righteous cultivators and hold them accountable. Hundreds of thousands of mortals died and that was it.
The Yunxiao Sect captured tens of thousands of mortals this time and gave a seemingly reasonable and plausible reason, so no one will care about it.
Even the sects that are hostile to the Yunxiao Sect will not deliberately dig deep into the truth. After all, even if it is announced that the Yunxiao Sect deliberately arrested people, what would happen? This little thing is not even a scandal in the world of immortal cultivation. No cultivator would care about the life and death of tens of thousands of mortals.
Therefore, the news, which was just a small matter in the world of immortal cultivation, spread so widely. Si Yuan concluded that the Yunxiao Sect was deliberately promoting it in order to pass the news to Shao Wenqin's ears.
The other party was coming for Shao Wenqin.
After listening to Si Yuan's analysis, Shao Wenqin's face was filled with anger: "You call this a trivial matter? How can it be called a trivial matter when it involves the lives of tens of thousands of people?"
Si Yuan said calmly, "This is a small matter for the immortal cultivation world. Even if the Yunxiao Sect is an orthodox sect, no one would think that it's a big deal for cultivators to arrest tens of thousands of people. Not to mention that the Yunxiao Sect has come up with a plausible reason. Even if the Yunxiao Sect arrested tens of thousands of mortals for no reason, no one in the immortal cultivation world would blame the Yunxiao Sect or anything."
Si Yuan has seen too many cases where monks do not treat mortals as their own kind.
Since their own life classes are at a different level, they will naturally feel that those mortals are like ants and will not regard them as their own kind.
Not to mention this world, Si Yuan has traveled through so many worlds. Even in the world without spirits without supernatural powers, don’t those powerful and influential people treat the lower-class people as ants that can be crushed to death at will?
