邪神之道 B1

The Divine Ancestor Awakens

A full three hours of endless slaughtering passes as the disciples of the Burial Grounds Sect fought on against those of the Heavenly Scripture Sect and the Nirvanic Stream Sect.

"..."

Li Shentong watches on from the sidelines as he conceals his entire force of two warships behind a veil of illusions.

Li Shuiling and Feng Jian Yun looks from the deck of the warship. At the center of the battlefield sits afloat Ye Gui Feng who is protected by the dark armored Jiangshi.

"From the way this battle looks..."

"Yeah."

Li Shuiling and Feng Jian Yun comes to the same conclusions. The Burial Grounds Sect have an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers and magic treasures of the eighth grade.

"*Sigh*"

Li Shentong continues to look on at this battle. He stands neutral in this field. By his side is an elderly man with a black long beard. This is the patriarch of the Blue River Sect, Jiào Fēiniǎo (教飞鸟).

"Patriarch what do you think of all this?"

Jiao Feiniao continues to look towards the battlefield with calm eyes.

"It might be time to consider helping one or the other soon. In this case..."

Jiao Feiniao shakes his head.

"Righteous and demonic there is hardly a difference between the two. In the end both are considered a type of Dao. The difference in morals is all that stands as a fine line between the two. Even in our sect we have done some acts of evil in the past. From the way that I see it joining with the Burial Grounds Sect might not be all that bad so long as we are allowed to be allies and not a subordinate sect."

"So if we make them see us a positive light of providing aid when the situation goes dire..."

"Yes. But the situation doesn't seem to be heading off in that direction any time soon. I wonder... What are the Icy Winds Sect waiting for?"

Some thoughts of the past come up in Jiao Feiniao's head as he thought about a certain person. That person is Bei Shangu, the Divine Ancestor of the Icy Winds Sect.

"If that old monster is still alive then... It's very much possible for the Icy Winds Sect to turn this all around."

In the distant battlefield Yang Jian Hao, Wei Hailan, and Patriarch Dun all look to Ri Ming Ren who had been chased by Emperor Du Lou.

"Uh..."

Ri Ming Ren's complexion pales upon being targeted by the eyes of three Soul Separation realm patriarchs. With Emperor Du Lou behind him he is completely cornered.

"Hahaha brother Ri since you've showed yourself there's no need to run."

"We do not accept surrenders."

Yang Jian Hao and Wei Hailan speaks coldly to Ri Ming Ren who backs away.

"Dun Ming Hao weren't you the Seven Rivers Sect's patriarch!? How could you possibly work with the Burial Grounds Sect!?"

Patriarch Dun smiles bitterly as he shakes his head with a light sigh.

"I've no regrets in merging with the Burial Grounds Sect. There's not much need to hide this any longer. Once Ye Gui Feng reaches the Nascent Soul realm equivalence in his cultivation we will be given a position of power by the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"What...?"

"In the upper lands the difference between a righteous sect or a demonic sect aren't all that much. I see no issues with this arrangement of working under the Burial Grounds Sect. After all the world of cultivation is a world of bloodshed. Regardless of righteous or demonic we've all stained our hands with blood. Some of us merely use different methods to achieve the same results."
