Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 458 March
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, another March has passed.

Three months later, Longhai Security Bureau, Director’s Office.

Nie Hailong looked at the computer, tapping the desk with his hands, his thoughts in a mess.

"Devil Dragon Ridge!"

"Blood Cloud Cave!"

"Wuji Sect!"

"Miaoyu Mountain!"

"Tianjue Peak!"

"In three months, five sects were wiped out in a row."

"Bai Yujing, Li Xuanyuan!"

"War God Temple, Wu Kuang Tu!"

"Mingxiao Temple..."

"The Zhou family, the Liu family, the Bai family..."

As he murmured words, his brows furrowed tighter and his eyes were filled with unrelieved sorrow.

Three months ago, after destroying the Demon Dragon Ridge, those people did not stop to recuperate, but instead acted like the flooding of the Yellow River, unable to be controlled, and destroyed the Blood Cloud Cave, Wuji Sect, Miaoyu Mountain, Tianjue Peak and other places one after another.

In other words, in just three months, they destroyed the five major demonic paradises with ruthless means, and all the high-level monks of the five sects were wiped out in the disaster. Only a few low-level disciples escaped by chance.

This disaster is a result of both heaven's will and human nature. One will either be destroyed by thunder or die by the sword.

The swordsman in white also made his debut and revealed his identity.

Baiyujing——Li Xuanyuan!

What is Baiyujing?
Who is Li Xuanyuan?
No one knows.

All we know is that in these three months, he single-handedly pushed forward and destroyed the five major magic paradises, more than ten gods, nearly a hundred Yuanying, and many Jindan, and a large number of magic monks died under his sword.

There is no single enemy!
There is no sword that can match it!
Killing a god is like killing a dog, and the Nascent Soul Golden Pill is even less than a blade of grass!
Once the sword is out, there is no turning back. It is extremely cruel. Many demonic monks who have managed to survive the heavenly calamity knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but were still killed by him with a single sword. Even the charming female cultivator from Miaoyu Mountain could not escape with her life.

Ruthless and ruthless, the fight will not stop until one is dead!
Such means and such power make everyone feel insecure.

The situation is becoming more chaotic and the situation is becoming more critical, and all parties are under tremendous pressure.

If this continues, how can we control the situation and resolve the matter?

Nie Hailong didn’t know, and it was precisely because he didn’t know that he was so distressed now.

At this moment...

"Director!"

There was a knock on the door, interrupting my thoughts.

Nie Hailong frowned and raised his eyes: "Come in!"

Just as he finished speaking, the door opened and two people came in side by side. One was his assistant secretary, and the other was...

"Ning Qing?"

Nie Hailong frowned and looked at Ning Qing, who had been promoted to deputy director, then turned his gaze to his assistant: "What's the matter?"

"The headquarters sent us an order to dispatch personnel to support other branches, and also requested us to increase the share of elixirs..."

Nie Hailong frowned after hearing the assistant's words.

These requirements may seem routine, but they actually contain hidden meanings and represent the attitudes of all parties.

Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone those ancient sects in blessed places?
Within three months, five sects were wiped out, and no one was given a chance to survive. Even those who survived the heavenly tribulation and knelt down to beg for mercy were killed with a single sword. Such brutal means were beyond the scope of deterrence, and forced all the major blessed places into desperate situations, with various counterattacks ensuing.

Especially those blessed places of the devil, they are under the greatest pressure and their counterattacks are the most intense.

But how to fight back?
Kill that Li Xuanyuan?

It is obviously unrealistic. Even if they had this ability, they would not be in desperate situation.

Not to mention Li Xuanyuan, the other two are difficult to deal with.

If you are no match for your opponent head-on, you can only move from the side and use some crooked methods.

So, the pressure came to him and fell on the shoulders of this small man.

The outer disciples of the Demonic Land used their power to do various things, even tying up the masses and coercing the Federation, with an attitude of destroying both themselves and the enemy, in an attempt to force the three to compromise.

But how could those three people compromise?

The trio divided the work among themselves. Li Xuanyuan and Shi Jian continued to destroy mountains and temples, while Wu Kuangtu dealt with the small actions of various forces, both overt and covert.

The means of dealing with this problem is simple and brutal, that is killing. Whoever causes trouble will be killed!
As a result, several major families were destroyed, the Federation was also impacted, and a large number of senior personnel were replaced.

So cruel!

If they were an ordinary family, they would have been killed in fear long ago, but they are not an ordinary family. They are outer disciples of the ancient magic sect and are under the complete control of the sect. Such killing cannot make them surrender. Instead, they launched a more fierce counterattack, continuing to bind and tie them up, ready to perish together with their enemies.

How to coerce, how to bind?
Have your own means!

They manipulated prices, controlled people's livelihood, and even allowed evil cults to spread, causing wars everywhere...

Just as the old saying goes, the emperor and the scholar-officials rule the world together, you have a plan and I have a ladder, these aristocratic families and local tyrants have too many tricks to make the situation chaotic.

You won't give in?

Then don’t give in. Let’s overturn the table together and see who can survive.

You three can't kill everyone in the world, right?

As the two sides fought back against each other, both openly and covertly, the already difficult situation deteriorated further. In some places, order even collapsed, causing extremely serious losses.

This is coercion, this is bondage!
Although the Wu Kuangtu was ruthless and had killed countless people, he still could not control the situation.

If things continue like this, the collapse of this makeshift federal team is a matter of time.

Once the federation collapses and each region governs itself, the situation will become even more corrupt, and those evil cults will take advantage of the situation to grow bigger.

Chaos!
This is the counterattack of those evil blessed places.

The demons took such actions, and other ancient sects in the blessed lands did not step forward to stop them.

After all, everyone is in danger. What those three people did was outrageous to the world, and they must bear the backlash from the people of the world.

As righteous cultivators, other ancient sects in blessed lands will not go along with the aristocratic and powerful families controlled by the evil blessed lands, but they will not curb their behavior either. Instead, they will stand by and watch, allowing it to develop.

One side is causing chaos, the other side is acquiescing. With the federal top brass making such assignments, one can imagine how the situation will develop.

Nie Hailong was also powerless about this because he was also one of them and was also bound and coerced, otherwise he would not have received such an assignment.

Is the cooperation that was rebuilt with great difficulty going to break down again?
Nie Hailong frowned and said nothing.

The assistant also stopped talking and waited for him to express his opinion.

After a long period of silence, Nie Hailong raised his eyes and looked at Ning Qing, who had a calm expression.

This capable subordinate has changed a lot in the past few years, not only has his position been promoted, but also...

Nie Hailong's heart sank, and he stopped thinking and said, "Ning Qing, what do you think?"

“This is an unreasonable request!”

Ning Qing was also straightforward when he heard this: "I think the most urgent task now is not to accept this unreasonable and malicious order from the superior, but to control the situation, maintain stability, and prevent the situation from further deteriorating and causing more unnecessary and unreasonable damage."

"..."

These words made Nie Hailong silent for a while. After a long while, he said, "Is this what he meant?"

"Yes!"

Ning Qing nodded and said without disguising: "But this is also my opinion, Director. We are the federal security agency. You should know our responsibilities and missions better than me!" "..."

Nie Hailong looked at her and was silent for a long time before he finally said, "Give me some time to think about it."

"There's no time, Chief!"

Ning Qing shook his head and said directly: "We must act as soon as possible. The slower we act, the worse the situation will be. Now the main forces at the top have been eliminated by him. We only need our people to control the situation at the middle and lower levels to prevent it from getting worse."

"..."

These words made Nie Hailong silent again. After a long while, he said, "You already had this plan?"

Ning Qing nodded and said without disguising: "Not bad!"

Nie Hailong lowered his eyes, his expression complicated: "You don't actually need me."

“No, we need it!”

Ning Qing shook his head and said calmly: "Director, there are some things that you should see more clearly than me. Which boat are we standing on now? Which boat are those people standing on? If this boat breaks and sinks, where will we stand? Will those people let so many people get on their boat?"

"..."

After hearing this, Nie Hailong fell silent again.

Ning Qing ignored him and continued, "I have family and friends. Others also have families and friends. Everything we have is on this ship. If we don't maintain it, we will lose everything and have nothing!"

After that, she took a step forward and met Nie Hailong's gaze: "This is betrayal, but it's not us who betrayed them, but they who betrayed us and the world!"

The words suddenly became heavy, and then returned to calm. Ning Qing looked at Nie Hailong: "As a member of the Security Bureau, I sincerely hope that you can make the right choice, Director!"

"..."

A transformation is unfolding violently in the midst of this pain.

And on the other side...

The solitary peak rises high into the clouds, so ethereal that no immortal can be seen!
A paradise on earth, like ink and smoke.

It is the ancient Lingyun Mountain!
On Lingyun Mountain, there are pavilions, towers and an ancient palace standing solemnly in the middle.

Inside the hall, all the cultivators gathered together to watch a movie.

The image was projected, a sharp blade flew across the sky, and a sword pierced through the body, making the demon dragon cry blood.

The scene changed, and another cave appeared. The jade disk was as red as blood, and was covered with enchanting seal characters. Sword light was shining in all directions, and blood shadows were shattered.

There are also the Wuji Mad Demon, the Miaoyu Goddess, the desperate situation on Tianfeng Mountain, and various scenes, which are presented one by one and alternately.

"Devil Dragon Ridge!"

"Blood Cloud Cave!"

"Wuji Sect!"

"Miaoyu Mountain!"

"Tianjue Peak!"

"In three months, all five sects will be wiped out!"

"Doom, doom!"

"Bai Yujing——Li Xuanyuan!"

Mumbling words, he became even more frightened.

After a moment, the projection was turned off and everyone fell silent.

There was deathly silence in the Patriarch's Hall, and it was extremely depressing.

A white-haired old man sat in the middle and looked at everyone: "Three months have passed, the deadline has come, each of you should vote."

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other, but there was silence.

There was silence for a long time before someone spoke to break the silence.

“Even though entering the world of heavenly tribulation is a life-or-death situation, it is extremely dangerous, but it is only a life-or-death situation!”

“The Mingxiao Dao has a ritual method that can reach the ears of the heavens. The ritual text can attract thunder and increase the power of the heavenly tribulation. By then, it will not be a matter of life and death!”

"Not to mention the human calamity. Li Xuanyuan's swordsmanship is earth-shattering. I don't know what level his swordsmanship has reached. He is invincible, and his immortal weapons are invincible. His sword strikes without return, and he kills everyone who lives. He is extremely cruel."

"Devil Dragon Ridge is the orthodox sect of the devil, the descendants of true dragon blood, with unparalleled physique and unparalleled combat power, but it still can't stop his sword!"

"The Blood Cloud Cave is also a main sect of the Demonic Dao, and they have also studied the mystical art of formation. The Blood Cloud Formation has the power to block out the sky and the sun, but it was still broken by his sword. The Spiritualization Divine was killed, the Nascent Soul was destroyed, and the blessed land was even more difficult to protect!"

"The Wuji Demon Dao is authentic and first-rate. His ancestors even produced a true demon from the Tribulation Realm. The Wuji Dharma can terrify the gods and ghosts, but it is still no match for the might of his sword!"

"The Wonderful Desire Goddess, who is a soul-snatching expert and specializes in the way of the primordial spirit, was helpless against him. She could not even beg for mercy and died tragically under the sword!"

"Tian Jue Peak is not only the orthodox sect of the devil, but also the school of sword cultivation. The Tian Feng Jue Sword has made a great reputation, but in the end, he was defeated in one move, the sword was broken and the man died!"

"Bai Yujing, Li Xuanyuan!"

"This person's actions are too extreme and too vicious!"

"Under the Return to Void, no one can defeat me!"

"After hearing about the destruction of Demon Dragon Ridge, the news spread to Beiming Cave Heaven, alarming the Dragon Abyss Demon Lord, who sent a Returning Void Great Demon into the world for revenge. However, as soon as he left Beiming Cave Heaven, he was struck by thunder and turned to ashes, leaving no trace of his body."

"Devil Dragon Ridge, Wuji Sect, Tianjue Peak, are all top demon sects, first-class blessed lands, Blood Cloud Cave, Miaoyu Mountain are not much worse, with such strength and background, they ended up like this."

The practitioners only analyzed the conversation without expressing their views. It was obvious that none of them dared to take the initiative to stand up and bear the consequences and responsibilities.

The five blessed places that have been destroyed in the past three months were all top-notch demonic sects, and their strength was above Lingyun Mountain.

If they can't even protect themselves in this way, then what other choice do Lingyunshan, whose strength is far inferior to theirs, have?
Between a life of nine deaths and a total of ten deaths, everyone knows which choice to make.
But knowing is one thing, but not being able to express it.

Because the consequences and responsibilities are so heavy, they do not have the courage or qualifications to choose.

Finally, he could only raise his eyes and look towards the white-haired old man in the center.

The white-haired old man was also speechless.

He was also unwilling to take on this responsibility. After all, one choice could potentially result in only one in ten members of the sect being wiped out, or even the entire clan being wiped out. Even though he was the sect's ancestor and had attained the state of returning to the void, he did not dare to take on this responsibility.

But if he doesn't take responsibility, who will?
"Master!"

Seeing the old man's helpless expression, a young man finally gritted his teeth and stood up: "At this point, there is no other way. I dare to ask Master and the elders to help me get back to Lingyun Mountain!"

"metropolitan!"

"Brother!"

Seeing the young man speak up and take the responsibility, the others also felt sympathetic and spoke out in agreement.

"The Sect Master is right. There is no other way now. We can only take the risk and give it a try!"

"Heaven has the virtue of loving life. Now is the time of the devil's calamity and chaos. We take the initiative to go to the blessed land, which is also in accordance with heaven and man's will. Heaven is moved and will definitely allow life to survive!"

"Please make a wise decision, old ancestor!"

Everyone spoke up and tried their best to persuade him.

The old man was pleased to see this and was about to go with the flow.

But don't want to...

"Report!!!"

A man entered the hall in panic and said in shock: "Report to the ancestor, that person... is here!"
