Chapter 541: City Destroyed, Bloodthirsty Fight

At midnight, the three major sects launched attacks in perfect harmony, and then the entire Guiyun City was destroyed.

Before dawn, the battle ended. No one was the winner and all returned with heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the top combat forces did not die, but the personnel in the first, second and third realms suffered heavy casualties.

The civilians in the city also suffered heavy losses. The people from the three major sects were so bloodthirsty that they had long forgotten their so-called rules and regulations.

“Kill him with a surprise attack.” Hui Xin said coldly. He had a broken arm and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Huiyun looked tired, but his injuries were not serious. After all, he was already a Buddhist disciple of the fourth level.

What really made him tired was Mingjue’s death.

However, it was not only the heir of Xingdu Temple who died. The heirs of Zhuhuan Academy and Lihua Temple also died in the battle at night.

Even if they win this time, Xingdu Temple will be in decline in the future. It may not be so easy to train another successor with the same ability as Mingjue.

Mingjue’s aptitude is only slightly lower than Huiyun’s.

When Huiyun heard Huixin’s words, she raised her head and asked, “How sure are you?”

What he said was that if he put everything on the line, what was the possibility of winning?

As for the consequences? He no longer cared. Up to now, there was no way out.

The current peace is only temporary. In about two hours at most, the fighting will begin again.

“No, but there is a possibility of winning.” Hui Xin was not sure at all, after all, the enemy’s condition was similar to theirs.

Not to mention fighting one against two, there is a high possibility that someone will reap the fruits of victory.

“Then let’s get together and have a big fight.” Huiyun said immediately with a gloomy expression.

It is impossible not to fight. Only the final winner can get the protection of the Buddhist orthodoxy. Otherwise, even if he escapes the court’s wanted list, he will still be in trouble.

It can be said that the winner takes all and the loser is served at the table.

In the struggle for the orthodoxy, only the victor can obtain the protection of his orthodoxy; the loser’s fate is naturally extinction.

Those who escape will naturally be classified as traitors, and the orthodox sect itself will not care.

Either you win or you die in battle, there is no third possibility.

“Yes, that’s it, gather everyone together and start.” Hui Xin agreed without hesitation, and then hesitantly said: “Before leaving, I want to see Brother Qi again.”

Huiyun was not surprised at all, but rubbed his temples: “I’ll give you half a quarter of an hour, go quickly and come back quickly.”

Even though Huiyun was a powerful Taoist master of the fourth realm, he had no guarantee that he could come back alive.

Huixin went to make arrangements for his final affairs.

As for coming back alive, that’s another matter.

“Thank you, Brother Abbot.” Huixin was also happy, as he thought Huiyun would not agree.

“I’ll recover your injuries on the way. Although losing an arm will affect the combat, you should recover as much as you can.” Huiyun looked at Hui Huixin’s broken arm and said helplessly.

Only monks who have broken through to the fourth realm have the power to regenerate severed limbs. Huixin is only at the third realm, so naturally he does not have this ability.

So he could only drag his broken body to fight.

“Don’t worry, Brother Abbot. The bleeding has stopped and it won’t affect the subsequent battle.” Hui Xin smiled and turned around and left.

There is only half a quarter of an hour left, so we must hurry.

“I’ll give you a hand.” Huiyun said, and directly helped Huixin.

Huixin only felt that his body was full of strength and his speed was much faster than before.

He arrived at the house where Qi Sui’an lived at an extremely fast speed.

“Master Huixin, the battle was so fierce last night, and you…” Qi Sui’an said with a little surprise. He really didn’t expect Huixin to come to see him at this time.

“It doesn’t matter. I have something to tell you.” Hui Xin interrupted Qi Sui’an: “Leave here immediately and find a safe place to hide.”

“If Xingdu Temple wins, you come out again.”

“If Xingdu Temple loses, leave Guiyun City and never come back.”

With Huixin around, Qi Sui’an would have no worries when working as a Buddhist farmer and cultivating Buddhist fields. But if Zhuhuan Academy or Lihua Temple won, he would have no future at all, and his life might even be in danger.

Especially since Qi Suian saved Hui Xin, even if these two forces would not care about this matter, there will always be ordinary people below who have small ideas and want to use this to curry favor.

So Qi Sui’an is in great danger.

“What happened?” Qi Sui’an continued to ask.

“The dispute over the orthodoxy in Guiyun City should have a result today.” Hui Xin sat down: “But I don’t know who the winner will be.”

“Master Huixin, you are joking. Even if I could leave, where could I go?” Qi Sui’an pointed helplessly at the sun that had just risen in the sky: “The drought has already arrived.”

“With my leg strength, I’ll die wherever I go.”

“So I was wondering if there was anything at Gyotoji that needed my help.”

Hearing this, Master Hui Xin smiled and said, “Of course not. Brother Qi, you are just an ordinary person. How can you help us?”

“It’s best to stay alive and be helped.”

“But you’re right. If the drought comes, you’ll die no matter where you go.”

At this point, Hui Xin also realized that even if Qi Sui’an left now, it would only mean dying earlier or later. “Brother Qi, if you can survive the drought, go to the court, at least you can survive.” Hui Xin gave Qi Sui’an a suggestion.

Confucianism and Taoism are not easy to deal with.

“That’s not certain. After all, no one knows when the court will come.”

“From the noise at night, it can be seen that the situation in Guiyun City is not optimistic.” Qi Sui’an can be sure that the court will never rebuild Guiyun City.

The amount of manpower and material resources required for this is bound to be a huge number.

If there had been no drought, it would have been possible to get the business going. But after the disaster relief, with such a huge deficit, how could we get funds for reconstruction?

If time goes on for a long time, there will naturally be no possibility of recovery.

Even without Guiyun City, the pressure of disaster relief would be relieved, even if not much.

So no matter who wins, they will eventually have to move away instead of staying in the ruins of Guiyun City.

When the imperial court learned of the situation in Guiyun City, they did not come, but only issued a perfunctory condemnation, and then there was no follow-up.

If you want to leave, that’s no problem, just go to the nearest town.

If you are lucky, you may be able to meet someone from the imperial court and get help, but it may not be easy to survive afterwards.

“It’s indeed not optimistic. There is no winner in this battle for orthodoxy.” A voice came over.

Qi Sui’an was familiar with him. He was the scholar who had chased Hui Xin.

At the same time, he is the third level of Juren in the Confucian orthodoxy.

“Huixin, I let you escape last time, but you can’t escape this time.” The scholar’s ​​eyes were red and full of hatred: “My junior brother’s revenge should be avenged today.”

“Wang Xuan, do you think you can kill me just because I’m missing an arm?” Hui Xin knew in his heart that he was definitely no match for his opponent.

But you must never show any weakness, otherwise you will surely die.

However, his bluffing could not be hidden from the scholar named Wang Xuan.

“sword!”

“kill!!”

“die!!!”

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, three black characters appeared out of thin air.

First, the word “sword” turned into an ink sword, and then the words “kill” and “death” merged into it, turning into a flying sword full of murderous intent that went straight for Huixin’s head.

Although Huixin lost an arm and his combat effectiveness was indeed reduced, it was not reduced to the point where he could be killed instantly.

He smashed the flying sword into pieces with one hand, and then suddenly rushed towards Wang Xuan.

The battle started directly without any hesitation.

As for Qi Sui’an, he was forgotten by both of them. In their eyes, it seemed that the only person they had was the other, the enemy of their Taoist tradition.

“The dispute over the orthodoxy is quite sinister, and it has even affected my spiritual intelligence and self.” Qi Sui’an decisively stepped aside.

You know, Huixin was chatting with him just now, worried about his safety.

As a result, I turned around and completely forgot about the matter and even ignored him.

It’s just like there is a difference in cognition.

“Why is the fight for the orthodox doctrine a bit similar to the Conferred God Tribulation? Everyone loses their rationality after entering the tribulation.” Qi Sui’an was still frightened even after being away from the battle.

With the current strength of the survivor incarnation, it is impossible for it to get involved in the battle of the third realm.

After all, he had only started practicing for a short time, and unless he received help from a deus ex machina, it would be impossible for him to interfere in this battle.

“Hui Xin, you can’t die.” Qi Sui’an sighed. The other party was ambushed because he came to inform him to leave.

Then give him a hand.

As for Xingdu Temple, let them be the winners, but this victory will only be a miserable one.

Whatever the other party says is helpful to me, and his attitude is not to kill him after he has done his job. Even if he has a purpose, at least he has not harmed me so far.

But how to help is a matter of opinion.

His instinct was to directly interfere with the deus ex machina, but this would easily attract the attention of the Taoist world.

If he were to help indirectly, his strength as a survivor incarnation would not be enough.

“So we can only rely on luck.” Qi Sui’an looked a little strange, then took a trace of luck from his body and stuffed it into the survivor’s incarnation.

Then, through this ray of luck, you begin to read the script and control your fortune.

Xingdu Temple, Zhuhuan Academy, and Lihua Temple are now equally powerful, and they can completely influence the final result through this insignificant bit of luck.

Qi Sui’an’s survivor incarnation now belongs to the Xingdu Temple camp, so if he has luck, he can indirectly enhance the luck of the Xingdu Temple camp and achieve victory.

All Qi Sui’an needs to do is to perform manual operations and let the survivors’ avatars act as a medium.

Fortunately, the difficulty and noise are not great, and Qi Sui’an is still confident that he can complete his operation without telling the Taoist world.

However, after this time, he had to leave Xingdu Temple. After all, traces were inevitable. Only by cleaning up and leaving as soon as possible could he avoid subsequent troubles.
