Chapter 1536: Means and Purpose (Yijian Fengyun is definitely not my cup of tea)
There was a violent storm with thunder and lightning.

“Wahahahahaha…”

Duanmu Huai was satisfied and stood up with a loud laugh. Behind him, the girl was curled up on the bed, sobbing and wiping her tears.

Well, if this is put in a TV series, it is a standard plot of a rich young man forcibly seizing a girl from a commoner family. It can be said that those who hear it are sad and cry. Seeing this vicious monster bullying a good girl is simply outrageous to both humans and gods.

In fact, they are not much different. It's a pity that there is no chivalrous hero who can defeat this evil young man and rescue the beauty from suffering.

"Okay, why are you crying?"

Duanmu Huai put on his clothes, turned around and glanced at the girl with disdain.

"I told you to die. I don't believe you don't know that we came to Pegasus Ranch and gave you several chances, but you refused to leave. You deserve this bad luck, so stop pretending to be wronged."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's ridicule, the girl trembled and turned away.

"Xianxian has only admired the Immortal God of Killing for a long time and wants to get close to you. I have no other intentions..."

"Well now, we are close enough, and you should know that you can never leave me alone again."

Duanmu Huai chuckled. In fact, when he saw the girl, he had already guessed that she was the Yinkui Sect's Kankan. As for Kankan's words, Duanmu Huai naturally took them as farts. Based on Duanmu Huai's understanding of Kankan, this little girl must have wanted to take the opportunity to find out information about him and his group after discovering their arrival, so she stayed to cause trouble.

According to the usual characteristics of this little girl, she is best at using her charm and beauty to fascinate men and train them to be obedient to her. That's why Duanmu Huai took action against her, just to let this little girl know that if you climb the mountain too many times, you will encounter tigers, and if you walk by the river too often, you will get your shoes wet.

Others treat you as a goddess, but I treat you as a cup, and let you make trouble every day. This is your retribution.

Not only that, Duanmu Huai also used the Tao Heart to plant a demon seed in Qian Qian. If she tried to resist, she would be burned by fire and unable to extricate herself. She had to rely on Duanmu Huai's skills to recover her clarity, otherwise she would become a beast with only instincts left.

Duanmu Huai thought that using this trick to deal with this little witch was the most appropriate way to prevent her from causing trouble every day.

"………………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Kanan suddenly stopped sobbing and just closed her eyes silently.

"Xianxian received the teachings of Master Zhu and was determined to strengthen the Demon Sect, but now all of this has become a bubble. What is the point of Xianxian living?"

"If you want to die, it's up to you. I can come to you a few more times while you're hot."

Duanmu Huai obviously would not be affected by Kankan's moral attack.

"Of course, if you don't want to see Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Sect being demolished by me, you can just die. No one will stop you."

"Really?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Kanan's eyes lit up and she looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Your Excellency has no grudges against Cihang Jingzhai. You are not saying this just to please Qianqian."

"Why, after being licked for so long, do you really think the world revolves around you?"

Duanmu Huai sneered.

"My decision to clean them up has nothing to do with you, nor with the Demon Sect. In fact, if the Demon Sect dares to cause trouble, I will tear them down as well. If the monks and nuns of the Jingnian Zen Sect of Cihang Jingzhai had just been vegetarians and chanted Buddhist scriptures, I would not bother to pay attention to them. But these idiots are so stupid that they want to interfere in the fight for hegemony and the divine right of kings. I can't stand this. If I don't uproot these two idiots, I will write my name upside down!"

That's right, Duanmu Huai had long wanted to deal with Jingnian Zen and Cihang Jingzhai, and this was the reason. What Heshi Jade Bi, Yang Gong's treasure house, whoever gets one of them can rule the world, it's all bullshit. In the final analysis, this is what these bastards want to use this rumor to get the divine right of kings. Since the Heshi Jade Bi chose the emperor, then they are the representatives who choose the emperor. For Duanmu Huai, any cult trying to interfere in the government is an intolerable heresy.

Not to mention that he once pinned Tathagata to the ground and beat him, so naturally he had no good feelings towards Tathagata's disciples.

Moreover, the original duty of the Sixth Heaven Demon King is to destroy Buddhism, which can be regarded as Duanmu Huai’s "main job".

Well, maybe he can really accomplish the achievement of extinction of Buddhism in the east, west, south and north.

Although the system does not have this achievement.

Of course, Kanan didn't know Duanmu Huai's background, but when she heard Duanmu Huai say this, her eyes lit up. She no longer had the miserable look of Xiao Baicai who was crying and being raped by Huang Shiren. She jumped off the bed like a fish and came to Duanmu Huai.

"If I could see the destruction of Cihang Jingzhai, it would be worth it even if I sacrificed my life for it."

"I didn't say I would let your Yinkui Sect have a chance to live."

Duanmu Huai glanced at Kankan coldly.

"You, the Demon Sect, are not good people either. Just because I hate those idiots who lick Tathagata's stinky feet doesn't mean I can tolerate you fools who stir up trouble. Anyone who dares to cause trouble and bring chaos to the world will be killed."

If someone else said this, I'm afraid that Qianqian would just think it was just bragging, but when it came from Duanmu Huai, who killed Yang Guang himself, it was extremely true. Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Duanmu Huai, Qianqian's body trembled, and she quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything more.

As a member of the Demon Sect, Kankan has seen a lot since she was a child, and she is even more aware of the bloodthirsty, selfish, and ruthless nature of the Demon Sect members. However, when Duanmu Huai's murderous aura burst out just now, Kankan felt that the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. It was not like a war or turmoil at all, but more like a natural disaster that made people desperately wait for destruction, and they dared not even struggle or resist.

Kanan asked herself, even her own master Zhu Yuyan, the evil king Shi Zhixuan, or even the mighty magician Pang Ban, who was feared by the demon sect, probably did not have such a soul-stirring power.

Not to mention that the two had fought a big battle before. In order to protect her red pill, Qianqian also tried her best. However, no matter how she used her power, there was no reaction when she hit Duanmu Huai, and she didn't even cause any damage. In the end, Duanmu Huai succeeded. Although there have been rumors in the martial arts world that Duanmu Huai is invulnerable to swords and guns, immune to all poisons, and immune to water and fire. But before this, Qianqian only thought that the rumor was exaggerated. Until this moment, she realized that the rumor was not exaggerated, and was even conservative.

"Hmph, pack up and let's go to Luoyang."

Duanmu Huai didn't care and turned around and walked out of the room. "Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Sect are making such a big fuss. If I don't go and destroy their place, won't their efforts be wasted?"

Upon hearing this, Kanan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes!"

Just like that, Duanmu Huai had another little follower.

Duanmu Huai naturally did not hide Kankan's identity from Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu. When they learned that she was born into a demon sect, the two... well, they didn't feel anything.

The only thing that made the two curious was that Kankan always went barefoot without wearing shoes or socks. Kankan’s explanation was that walking barefoot on the ground made her feel more comfortable, unrestrained and free.

Duanmu Huai also felt that it was not difficult to understand this. For example, when going to the beach, walking barefoot on the sand is indeed a different feeling than wearing shoes. However, unless one has the ability of innate true qi to protect the body like Qianqian, doing so is just asking for trouble.

By the way, even on the beach, you still have to be careful of beer bottles and stone fragments buried in the sand... After all, for most people, the soles of the feet are the most vulnerable part. Let alone fragments, even if you step on Lego blocks, the pain is...

And Kankan also changed her previous attire of a rich girl and wore a plain white robe like Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu. According to Kankan, she usually dressed like this and would only disguise her identity if she wanted to rob someone for money or kill someone.

As for her being captured by the four great bandits before, it was naturally a good show performed by Kankan. According to Kankan, Li Mi had a close relationship with the four great bandits, and the Yinkui sect where her master was located wanted to secretly weaken Li Mi's power, so Kankan took action and tried to use her beauty to lure the four great bandits to kill each other in order to cut off Li Mi's arm.

As for being rescued by the people of Pegasus Ranch, it was purely an accident. However, Xianxian was very scheming and planned to seize Pegasus Ranch. If Shang Xiuxun was not a woman, she would have been bewitched by her. But even so, Xianxian did not give up. She heard that someone in the ranch was trying to rebel, so she took advantage of the situation.

It can be said that if Duanmu Huai had not arrived in time, Shang Xiuxun would either be captured or killed. Even if she was lucky enough to escape back to Pegasus Ranch, the ranch army would suffer heavy losses, and the traitor would be able to take advantage of the situation to seize power from Shang Xiuxun and the entire Pegasus Ranch.

And by that time, he would be a dish in Kankan's hands.

However, Duanmu Huai's arrival completely overturned the entire plan, and the four major bandits were also killed. Naturally, the traitor's plan could not be carried out.

"In fact, the traitor is the third deacon. The mall owner also has some suspicions about him. He will naturally be tortured and interrogated when he returns this time. But for Wan Wan, this is meaningless."

"why is that?"

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan asked curiously.

"It's very simple. Food, fodder, and soldiers are the first choice for the struggle for world domination. Right now, the world is in chaos, and all the rebel forces want to become the world's hegemon. The war horses of Pegasus Ranch and the weapons of Dongming Sect are what they need. If they can take over Pegasus Ranch, they will have the war horses. The betrayal of the Third Deacon this time is also due to the shadow of other rebel forces, so even if the mall owner takes him down, it will be impossible to stop the other party from eyeing Pegasus Ranch."

Kanan had her hands behind her back, chirping like a little bird, moving back and forth, and did not look like a prisoner at all.

"There are people who really like to fight for supremacy in the world. I don't think it's good, and I don't understand why so many people want to be emperor."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"When you become an emperor, you will know that managing a country is a headache and troublesome thing. There are endless things to do and you hardly have time for yourself. It would be nice to be a tyrant like Yang Guang, but if that's the case, finding a place to live in seclusion or opening a sect of your own would be more fun than being an emperor, right?"

"But in order to strengthen the Master Sect, power and status are necessary."

At this time, Kanan also became serious for a rare time.

"The dispute between Buddhism and the Saints has a history of hundreds of years. We......"

"I know where you come from, no need to waste words."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"In fact, the sayings I hate the most are "the goal justifies the means" and "those who achieve great things do not care about small details". In the final analysis, these are just excuses for themselves. There was nothing wrong with the Demon Sect's original goal of gaining the ideal orthodoxy. However, once you adopted the wrong means, it was bound to change."

The predecessor of the Demon Sect was actually the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Western Han Dynasty, which was the losers in the political struggle. Their original goal was to overthrow Confucianism and return to the era of "a hundred schools of thought contending", so this ideal itself does not seem bad, but it is another matter if they go astray.

"But at that time, the Holy Sect was severely suppressed......"

"You see, here comes the excuse."

Duanmu Huai glanced at Kankan and said lightly.

"It means that your ideals are not pure enough, and it also means that you are not persistent and sure of your goals. You just want to win, but you ignore that how to win is also crucial. What kind of process will lead to what kind of results. I can be sure that even if your Demon Sect eventually defeats the Buddhist Sect and takes over the world, you will not be able to achieve your desired goals because you have taken measures that deviate from your ideals - you reap what you sow. What kind of means will deserve what kind of outcome. Think about it carefully."

Duanmu Huai's words were not without reason. In fact, he had read the novel. In the novel, the Demon Sect did win in the end - because Wu Zetian was Kankan's disciple and became the first female emperor.

However, after that, the revival that the Demon Sect longed for did not come. On the contrary, Wu Zetian regarded the Demon Sect as her own black history and wanted to kill them as soon as possible. She issued the "Demon-Slaying Order". Since she herself was a member of the Demon Sect and knew the Demon Sect better than anyone else, the Demon Sect was completely eradicated and eliminated by Wu Zetian.

So you see, you reap what you sow. If the Demon Sect was not the kind of sect that did all kinds of evil things, but was like Cihang Jingzhai, which at least pretended to be a goddess on the surface, then Wu Zetian would not have regarded the Demon Sect as a threat to her own dark history and wanted to kill them as soon as possible.

It can be said that the life of Mo Men is a typical example of using any means to achieve the goal, and eventually being led astray and crashing.

For rulers, the purpose is important, but the means are equally important.

"…………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Kankan showed a pensive expression and stopped talking. Duanmu Huai also did not speak, but turned his head and looked forward.

In front of them, the majestic city gate was vaguely visible.

We have arrived in Luoyang.
