After the demonic sect's power in various parts of the country was retracted, the world was calm. Within the demonic sect, the weak always preyed on the strong, and the winner was the king. Since there were not many senior leaders left, the remaining elders and hall leaders began to fight for power and gain, hoping to sit on the throne.

Ascend to the throne of the leader.

For a time, the fighting became so fierce that the world that had just been calm once again became chaotic.

Looking at Ren Yingying who was a little distracted, Li Mu said: "You are also a holy aunt of the Demon Sect. Do you want to go down the mountain and compete?"

Ren Yingying said "Ah": "What?"

Li Mu said simply: "Do you want to be the leader of the Demon Cult?"

Ren Yingying's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "The Holy Cult is now divided into pieces. The elders and church leaders are very ambitious and want to sit on the throne of the leader."

"Unless a peerless master emerges who can crush all opposition voices and forces and bring everyone back to their hearts, only then can we secure the throne of the leader."

"Otherwise, by virtue of my status as a holy aunt, even if I am lucky enough to become the leader of the church, I will be just a puppet at the front desk. I might be killed one day and take away the position of leader."

Li Mu said: "What if I help you! Eliminate all opposition forces."

Ren Yingying stared at him with a pair of bright eyes: "Why, I am a demon sect witch. The Holy Religion is divided and killing each other. Isn't it a good thing for you to dream of? Why do you want to help me unify the Holy Religion?

?End the strife.”

"As a result, in a few years, when our Holy Religion recovers its strength, won't it be the life-and-death enemy of your righteous way in the world again?"

Li Mu said: "Why do we have to be enemies of life and death? In fact, it doesn't have to be so many disputes."

Ren Yingying looked at him with a smile: "It's not like you said such innocent words?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "How naive! I don't think so, I just sigh that your demon sect has such a strong organizational and coordination ability, so many followers, and even all the three religions and nine streams in the world, evil masters, ghosts and snake gods, can all be under your control

Action upon command."

"It is such a waste to use such a powerful force in the struggle between rivers and lakes?"

Ren Yingying said: "Is it a waste? Isn't it like this in the first place? The world is so big, there are so many territories, and there are so many resources. How can we survive if we don't fight for it?"

"As long as we fight for it, a struggle will naturally come. Our holy religion controls so many resources, even if we don't want to take action, all the factions in the world will take action against us."

"The struggle for interests and the proof of survival are unavoidable no matter what."

Li Mu smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. The struggle for interests and survival is inevitable. The various martial arts factions in the Central Plains have to fight for this and have to take action."

"But, the world is not just here, there are many, many places. Many resources there are even richer than the Central Plains, and the area is even wider than the entire Ming Dynasty. However, they lack the necessary manpower and have not been developed."

"The Demon Cult has such strong organizational capabilities, so much human and financial resources, and so many capable people and strangers. It is completely possible to organize some of the people to jump out of the chessboard of the Central Plains Wulin."

"Only then will you realize that the world outside the Ming Dynasty is so big, with so many resources that make people jealous, and the indigenous people who occupy these resources are so weak that the Demon Sect can destroy their entire country by sending just one member of the demon sect there.

.”

"Only then will you realize that it is so stupid to waste so much material and financial resources, kill and injure so many masters, and compete with the Central Plains Wulin for limited resources. With these manpower and material resources, the resources that can be seized outside are more than ten times.

"

Ren Yingying was stunned by what he said. In Ren Yingying's impression, the Ming Dynasty was in the world, and the outside of the Ming Dynasty was a barbaric land filled with poisonous diseases.

Now Li Mu told her that there were many resource-rich treasure lands outside the Ming Dynasty, and the local indigenous people were so pitiful and weak that the demon sect could destroy the country and massacre the city with just a single move.

"real?"

Li Mu said: "Of course it is true."

As he spoke, he casually drew a sea map on the ground, and drew an archipelago near Daming.

Li Mu pointed to the largest island in the archipelago and said, "Have you ever heard of Luzon Island?"

Ren Yingying thought for a while and said: "I seem to have heard that it is a big island overseas, and the big ships of Sanbao eunuchs often anchor there when they go to sea."

Li Mu said: "Yes! This big island called Luzon is as big as Zhejiang. It is rich in gold and the land is extremely fertile. It has three crops a year. It has been developed, and at least tens of millions of acres of fertile land have been developed."

"In the third year of Yongle, Zheng He, the three-guarantor eunuch, led a huge fleet to Luzon. According to Emperor Yongle's edict, he appointed Xu Chailao as the governor of Luzon, and he held the power for more than 20 years."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has long since lost control of this place, the so-called governor has also disappeared. The entire Luzon is in disarray. With the ability of the Demon Cult, it can easily control the entire Luzon."

"How much of the output of directly controlling a province as large as a territory is not as great as the benefits of fighting in the Central Plains martial arts?"

Ren Yingying's eyes lit up. The Demonic Sect's vitality was now greatly weakened. Instead of swallowing its glory in the Central Plains martial arts world, it would be better to go overseas and directly occupy a piece of territory.

"What you said makes sense, but is Luzon Island too far away from the Ming Dynasty? If the transportation of traffic information is inconvenient, even if they are disciples of the Holy Cult, they will easily escape control."

Li Mu said: "Actually, although Luzon Island is outside the sea, it is not too far away. The distance from Guangzhou to Jinling is farther than from Guangzhou to Luzon Island."

"Not only Luzon Island, if the Demonic Cult has enough strength, the Nanyang Islands, which are no less than the territory of the Ming Dynasty, can be brought under the control of the power, and immigrants can be immigrated from the Central Plains area for further development."

"It is not impossible to support a group of small vassal states in the future, or to directly establish a country based on religion."

Ren Yingying was dumbfounded by Li Mu's words. Compared with the idea he proposed, the Demon Sect had so much manpower and material resources and was fighting against a bunch of Jianghu sects every day. It was indeed a bit unsightly.

Ren Yingying was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "But I'm not the leader of the Holy Cult yet?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mu said: "Can I help you sit on it?"

Ren Yingying said: "You are a disciple of a well-known and upright family. If you help me, a demon sect witch, fight for the position of leader, aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation?"

Li Mu said: "I don't care much about reputation, but that's what you said."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, raised his head and said with a smile: "Then, from today on, the person you will meet is Li Mu, a top master who studied abroad as a child and returned after studying. Lin Pingzhi is still a high disciple of Huashan.

, one of the most well-known young knights in Jianghu Zhengdao, and has nothing to do with the Demonic Cult."

Ren Yingying was surprised and said: "Mr. Lin...you?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "From now on, call me Mr. Li. Mr. Lin is a righteous knight and a high disciple of Huashan. The two of them have nothing to do with each other."

Ren Yingying smiled: "What should I do if I get used to calling him Mr. Lin?"

Li Mu said with an upright face: "Then I, the young hero Lin of Huashan, will be incompatible with you, the demon sect's enchantress?"

Li Mu did this not because he was fascinated by beauty, or because he was simply benevolent and helped Ren Yingying take the position of leader of the Demon Cult.

The main reason is that after a breakthrough in martial arts, the next period of time will definitely be boring, so it is better to find something interesting to do.

The Devil's Cult is such a huge organization, with such abundant manpower and material resources. It would be too wasteful to use it to wander around in the world. It is better to use it, make some experiments, and pass the time.

It would also be good for the Central Plains martial arts community to send these three religions, nine schools of thought, evil spirits and heretics overseas to open up wasteland and expand the territory, causing harm to the indigenous people.

The two talked for a while and reached a consensus.

Ren Yingying said: "When should we take action?"

Li Mu said: "Just these two days! You should screen your former subordinates, or those who have received your favor, to see which ones are available, and we can meet them first."

"If we want to compete for the position of leader, we can't do it without the internal support. We can't just attack Blackwood Cliff directly. That would make too much noise and there's no need."

Ren Yingying nodded: "Okay!"

Two days later, Li Mu asked his wife Ning Zhong to take a long leave, saying that staying in Huashan was boring and he planned to travel around the world and then go home to stay for a while.

Linghu Chong has also returned, the Demon Sect has retreated, and there is no danger at Huashan Mountain Gate. There is no need for Li Mu to sit in guard every day. It is okay for young people to run around if they want, so naturally I agreed.

So, Li Mu took Ren Yingying and Qu Feiyan out of Huashan amidst laughter and joy, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.

From Ren Woxing leading the crowd to attack Heimu Cliff, to failing and being seriously injured, he kidnapped Yang Lianting, escaped from Heimu Cliff, and retreated to Shaolin Temple. Then Dongfang Bubai followed closely and led the seven elders of the Demon Sect to besiege Shaolin Temple.

It seems that a lot of things happened during this period, but in fact it didn't last long.

In particular, it only took two or three days from the time Ren Woxing led his troops to attack Heimu Cliff, to the time he failed and was seriously injured, took Yang Lianting hostage, and escaped from Heimu Cliff.

Dongfang Bubai ignored religious affairs for a long time and was very unfamiliar with the followers below. He only wanted to save Yang Lianting and had no time or inclination to deal with the followers who were friendly to Ren Yingying as the holy aunt.

Even if the incident spread later, only Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting's direct descendants were able to arrest Ren Yingying, while the other personnel only did their job and even provided help secretly.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Yingying and Qu Feiyan to escape to Huashan from the siege of the Demon Cult.

Just when these people were afraid that Dongfang Bubai would settle accounts, news came out that Dongfang Bubai and all the seven elders of the Demon Sect had died in the Shaolin Temple.

In this way, not only are these people okay, but their strength is preserved because they are not working hard.

Nowadays, these people have naturally become the backbone of support for Ren Yingying.

During the month following Ren Yingying's contact with the old department, Li Mu thoroughly experienced the power of the Demonic Sect's Holy Aunt. Everyone who saw Ren Yingying was trembling with fear and respect.

It also allowed Li Mu to see another side of Ren Yingying, which is mysterious, cold and cannot be blasphemed.

Things went more smoothly than expected. As the daughter of the former leader and the current holy aunt, she already had a transcendent status. After Dongfang Bubai died, it was natural for many people to take the position of leader, at least compared to those elders and elders who were fighting for power.

The hall master is more qualified.

In this way, in more than a month, Ren Yingying mastered and recovered a large number of forces, including many real masters. Li Mu personally did these.

After all, there are thorns everywhere, and there are arrogant people everywhere. If you are ambitious, or you prefer which elder or leader, or you think Ren Yingying is just a woman, how can you be the leader of the church?

Facing these people, Li Mu only showed off his martial arts a little, and no one was dissatisfied. Now many people within the Demon Cult know that Ren Yingying invited a young peerless master from overseas to help her fight for the position of leader.

He is so profound that he can even catch up with Dongfang Bubai.

Some people also inquired about his origins, and only knew that his surname was Li. When he appeared in public on weekdays, he always wore a silver mask that covered half of his face.

Some people guessed that this was a master who was sent by Ren Woxing to a secluded master overseas to be carefully trained. He was not even willing to invite him back to Blackwood Cliff, specifically to protect Ren Yingying's future as the leader of the cult.

Others say that it was the Holy Aunt who, with her stunning beauty, brought this peerless master who had returned from overseas under her sway. In the future, he might become the Holy Aunt's husband, and the couple would jointly take charge of the Holy Religion.

Faced with these rumors, Ren Yingying was just a little shy, but she didn't explain anything. Naturally, Li Mu didn't care and allowed the news to ferment.
