Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 537: Sparks of the Wilderness

While Yang Qian was busy killing the "evil cultivators" in Shuangqing Prefecture, the turmoil centered on Leiming Mountain and spreading across several countries had already begun.

The Five Thunder Palace, which was usually famous in the cultivation world for its righteous thunder method, had a feud with the three surrounding sects. It was said that it was because of the ownership of the spirit stone mine and the Five Thunder Palace's invasion and murder against the three sects over the years, which seemed to ignite the flames of murderous war among the immortal sects.

At the same time, a terrifying piece of news began to spread wildly, and then similar news popped up one after another.

First of all, it is about the Five Thunder Palace. It is said that the disciples of the Five Thunder Palace are likely to be practicing evil methods, and have already practiced to the point where they can devour people's souls. They often kill people indiscriminately in the territories of the three surrounding sects, namely Heyun, Tongyun, and Mingyang. They are no different from demons.

Then two more sects emerged and said that the incident of devouring souls had also occurred in their territory, and there was evidence that it was done by people from the Heyun, Tongyun, and Mingyang sects. These two sects were the Huangshan Sect and Songhu Villa.

This is a bit like a dog-eat-dog situation.

Who is lying? Who is telling the truth?

Or are both sides telling lies?

The situation suddenly became chaotic, and no one dared to say that they could smooth out all the twists and turns as an outsider.

But there is one thing that allows both those in the cultivation world and those not in the cultivation world to see some clues.

People in the cultivation world can see it clearly.

The Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang sects seem to have old grudges with the Wulei Palace, but they are definitely not going to the point of fighting to the death like they are now.

Besides, the Five Thunder Palace is a sect of the Five Thunders Orthodox Method. Other sects may secretly study the evil methods, but the Five Thunder Palace is definitely impossible. After all, the righteous thunder method and the evil evil methods are naturally incompatible, so you can't practice them even if you want to!
It is obvious that the three sects, Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang, are throwing dirty water on the Wulei Palace.

As for the reasons why the Heyun, Tongyun, and Mingyang sects did this, who in the cultivation world couldn't understand it? Except for the people of the Immortal Alliance, no one had such courage.

The Wu Lei Palace is in trouble!
Those who were not from the cultivation world, such as the imperial forces of various countries, saw only a foul smell of mutual attacks.

Isn't it the only rationale for the immortal sect to claim to be righteous? Now it is rumored that the immortal sect is researching and wreaking havoc on the evil ways, so is the justice of the immortal sect also a disguise?
Killing is inevitable.

At the beginning of the month, disciples from the Heyun, Tongyun, and Mingyang sects attacked a mine in the Wulei Palace on the pretext of something, injuring six disciples and announcing the occupation of the mine.

The Five Thunder Palace was also not ambiguous. It directly surrounded the mine and killed all the disciples of the three sects in the mine, including a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm.

No one expected the Five Thunder Palace to react so violently. They all thought that the Five Thunder Palace would injure instead of kill, and then the three sects would have an excuse to continue to escalate the intensity of the conflict. Only then would the Immortal Alliance intervene.

Now it was good. Although the goal was achieved directly, more than a dozen disciples were lost. Moreover, a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm was also a painful loss for the immortal sect forces like the Three Sects.

The happiest was the Immortal Alliance. Almost the next day, someone came and said that they would move into the Five Thunder Palace to mediate the feud between the Five Thunder Palace and the Tongyun, Heyun, and Mingyang Sects, and to avoid a war of slaughter within the Immortal Alliance. They also promised to deal with it fairly and ensure that the interests of the Five Thunder Palace would not be encroached upon.

But in the end, the leader of the Five Thunder Palace, Lei Lingzi Xu Hai, politely declined the Immortal Alliance's coordination and replied: There is no need to bother the Immortal Alliance with the affairs of the Five Thunder Palace, I can solve them well by myself.

The Immortal Alliance did not force it, saying that it was okay if the Five Thunder Palace did not allow them to intervene, and that they would go find the other party in the conflict, which were the Heyun, Tongyun, and Mingyang sects.

So, in just three days, a notice to "clarify" the sphere of influence, led by the Immortal Alliance and signed by the Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang sects, was issued to the entire cultivation world.

The notice directly circled the five large spirit stone mines under the name of Wu Lei Palace as "disputed resources", and asked the Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang sects to "temporarily manage" them. The specific ownership of the spirit stone mines would be redistributed after the Wu Lei Palace participated in and agreed to the negotiations.

At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this. It is reasonable and humane, as if it is really aimed at turning hostility into friendship.

It is indeed the purpose of the Immortal Alliance to maintain internal stability and avoid disputes.

However, the "disputed resources" mentioned in this notice have been the territories occupied by the Five Thunder Palace for hundreds of years, and the Five Thunder Palace only has seven spirit stone mines in total.

This clearly means that the things of the Five Thunder Palace were forcibly stripped away under such a high-profile excuse and fed to the Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang sects.

If you let a dog bite someone, you have to give it some benefits, right?

How can the Five Thunder Palace bully people like this?
Naturally they would not agree, and even negotiating with the Heyun, Tongyun, Mingyang Sects and the Immortal Alliance would be falling into their trap.

This is like someone discussing the ownership of your wife and how to divide her. Will you talk about it?
I can't talk about it, and it's impossible to accept it. So what should I do?
There is only one way left: let your fists speak.

Thus, five battlefields started simultaneously at dawn, which was also the beginning of a great melee in the cultivation world that would have a profound impact on the Northern Xuan Realm in the future.

Almost everyone was pessimistic about the Five Thunder Palace at the beginning. After all, with one against three and no strategic location to defend outside the mountain gate, the situation would be extremely difficult and might even lead to a life-and-death situation.

But the result made everyone drop their jaws.

Not only did the Wu Lei Palace not get into a tough fight, on the contrary, it suppressed the people from the He Yun, Tong Yun and Ming Yang sects from the very beginning, fighting all the way from the mine to a hundred miles away before finally fleeing in panic.

It was only at this time that everyone understood that the Five Thunder Palace was not only strong in temper, but also in strength. They were both ordinary immortal sects, but why was the gap between them so huge?
It is estimated that He Yun, Tong Yun, and Ming Yang Sects were all shocked. Under the same realm, their disciples would basically die against the disciples of Wu Lei Palace, as one of them could beat two or three of their own.

How is this played?
In fact, not only the Heyun, Tongyun, and Mingyang sects were shocked, but even the Wanshi sect members of the Immortal Alliance, the instigator behind the scenes, were also shocked. They thought they had seen through the Five Thunder Palace's strengths and weaknesses, and they launched the attack before Wang Zhen retreated to break through the fusion realm, hoping to catch him off guard.

Who could have thought that the Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang sects were so useless and the Wulei Palace was so powerful?

After Wu Lei Palace forcefully blocked the attacks from He Yun, Tong Yun, and Ming Yang Sects, Huang Shan Sect and Song Hu Villa, which had previously been reported to be practicing evil ways, also took action and followed suit, attacking the spirit stone mines within the three sects’ territory, also bringing up old scores.
