A day later, the five saints and five kings of Banjie Mountain jointly issued a manifesto called "The Demon Cultivators of Xi Niu Hezhou Demand Justice".
This manifesto was written by the Five Great Saints and the Five Great Kings. Its literary talent is not outstanding, and it can even be said that its language is simple.
However, in this manifesto, they explained in detail the causes and purposes of their actions.
They also included in this manifesto a spiritual image of the Western Paradise capturing and killing the general and slaughtering the demon cultivators of the Shala Kingdom. According to the manifesto, this spiritual image was provided by a northern Buddha who did not want to reveal his name.
In the manifesto, all the demon cultivators in Xiniu Hezhou became a vulnerable group, and Xitian Prefecture would suppress and slaughter them at any time with various reasons.
Therefore, millions of demon cultivators in Xiniu Hezhou put forward three major demands. If the Heavenly Court and Xitian Mansion do not accept these three demands, then no matter what happens thereafter, Xitian Mansion will bear full responsibility.
Moreover, the manifesto used extremely sincere language to request fellow demon cultivators from the other three continents to come and support the demon cultivators from Xiniu Hezhou.
Within a short time after this manifesto was issued, it was quickly spread to Dongsheng Shenzhou, Beijuluzhou and Nanzhanbuzhou by a mysterious force.
In Dongsheng Shenzhou, a group of demons gathered in a Taoist temple to discuss matters.
"Have you all read the manifesto by Xiniu Hezhou?" asked a demon fairy in the Golden Fairyland.
The demons and immortals around nodded and said, "I saw it."
At this time, a female demon fairy said, "But how can we tell if this manifesto is true or not? Why would the Minister of the Western Heaven Palace order the capture and killing of the generals and the slaughter of the demons of the Sha Luo Kingdom? It shouldn't be possible."
Hearing the words of the female demon fairy, another male demon fairy in the Xuanxian realm said, "Daoyou, do you know who the current Shangshu of Xitian Mansion is?"
The female demon fairy shook her head and said, "I don't know."
The male demon fairy said, "It's Master Hongqing Fang Jian."
"Ah?!" The female demon fairy was shocked when she heard the name, and then said seriously: "If that's the case, then it's not surprising."
In the manifesto issued from Banjie Mountain, no specific name of the Western Paradise was mentioned, and all the titles were referred to as immortal officials.
This is also the author's way of showing that he is not targeting a particular person, but the overall and comprehensive injustice.
No matter whether it was the Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Beijuluzhou or the Nanzhanbuzhou, the demon cultivators were still confused and suspicious when they read the manifesto, but when they knew that the Minister of the Western Heaven Palace mentioned in the manifesto was none other than the Zhenren Hongqing Fang Jian, they understood it all at once and no longer had any doubts.
"If it's Master Hongqing, there's no need to doubt what he does." A demon fairy from the Southern Continent concluded.
Another demon fairy heard this and said, "Should we go to Xiniu Hezhou to help those fellow Taoists?"
"Haha." A demon immortal with white beard and hair stroked his beard and said, "There's no need for that. This isn't a conflict between those demon Taoist friends from Xiniu Hezhou and Xitian Mansion at all."
"Oh?" The surrounding demon immortals were a little surprised. They looked at the old demon immortal with white hair and beard and asked, "Why do you say that, fellow Taoist?"
The old demon immortal said slowly, "Everyone, this manifesto was sent out from Xiniu Hezhou two days ago, and all the demon immortals and human immortals in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Beijuluzhou, and Nanzhanbuzhou received it at the same time. If there were no other forces interfering, could this manifesto have spread so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, the demon immortals' faces grew solemn, and they soon fell silent. After a moment, a young demon immortal asked, "Could it be... Buddhism?"
As soon as the young demon fairy said this, all the demon fairies present reacted instantly, "Yes, in Xiniu Hezhou, besides the Heavenly Court, only the Buddhist sect has this power."
Although Buddhism has been driven out of Uttarakuru and Dongsheng Shenzhou, it does not take much effort to send a manifesto.
The old demon immortal nodded and said, "On the surface, this may appear to be the demon cultivators of Xi Niu Hezhou seeking justice, but in essence, it's still a struggle between Heaven and Buddhism. I advise all of you fellow Taoists not to wade into this muddy water."
There are many people in the three continents who, like this old demon fairy, can see the mystery behind the manifesto. However, any demon fairy who can see the mystery will never get involved in such matters.
Be it Heaven or Buddhism, they cannot afford to offend. If this does not involve the struggle between Heaven and Buddhism, it would be fine. It is nothing more than the demon cultivators wanting justice. Even if they die, they are willing to travel thousands of miles to help their fellow Taoists.
But the intention behind this manifesto is clearly to act as a pawn of Buddhism. Once people see clearly what is going on, no one will be willing to do this.
However, there were still many demon cultivators who did not see the benefits and harms behind the manifesto. After seeing those spiritual lights and shadows, they became furious and headed straight for Xiniu Hezhou.
As for the Taoist immortals and those wandering immortals, they basically ignored these manifestos because they saw things more clearly. Because the Taoists had already directly confronted the Xuanjiao and Buddhism in the Southern Continent, they understood that if Buddhism clashed with Fang Jian in Xiniu Hezhou, it would be of great help to the situation in the Southern Continent.
Finally, let’s talk about the attitude of Heaven. Heaven’s attitude is very simple. This matter originated from the Western Paradise, so it should be resolved by the Western Paradise.
If the Heavenly Court intervened personally, it would be too disqualified. The reason was simple: if the demon cultivators in Xiniu Hezhou were causing chaos, the first place to be dealt with was by the Xitian Mansion, which was in charge of Xiniu Hezhou. Only when the Xitian Mansion could not handle it would the Heavenly Court consider personally intervening.
Therefore, Taixuandu Province gave Xitian Prefecture an imperial edict, and Xitian Prefecture was given full authority to resolve this matter. Before the situation completely got out of control, the Heavenly Court and the heavenly soldiers and generals would not intervene directly, but before the conflict began, Fang Jian could ask Taixuandu Province for assistance.
