On the edge of the continent, there is a special place known as the No-Return Pier.
The name is very unlucky, but it is true.
It turns out that the continent is surrounded by the ocean and is full of all kinds of dangers. The hundreds of miles close to the ocean are completely uninhabited.
But there is an area near the sea that is completely different from other places. There seems to be a special force field that prevents sea monsters and weirdos from approaching easily.
There is a port built here that can go directly into the sea, and there are also several safe channels that go thousands of miles deep.
In this area, a large number of people live, and a large city is built.
The secular imperial power has no control here. The people in charge are the monks of the sect. Without the harsh exploitation of the imperial family, the lives of the people are unexpectedly much easier.
Although weird things occasionally happen and people die inexplicably from time to time, the local people are still unwilling to leave easily.
The war in the monastic world started, making No Return Harbor even more lively. More monks were forced to gather here and watch the direction of the war outside.
Once things go wrong, flee overseas immediately.
Recently, monks from Northern Xinjiang have appeared frequently, and their number has become more and more numerous.
The road leading to the outside world is also blocked by monks from Northern Xinjiang.
If nothing else happens, the Northern Xinjiang camp will launch an attack and gain control of Hong Kong without returning.
As the only export from the mainland, the non-return port is very important, and Northern Xinjiang must control it.
The war is about to begin, and not only practitioners will be affected, but ordinary people will also be implicated.
When we talk on weekdays, the content of the discussion is mostly related to this, and most of them look worried.
Before the battle started, many rumors suddenly broke out, making the atmosphere of no return to Hong Kong even more tense.
Thirty miles away from the sea, there is a city without a return, and a large number of practitioners gather in the city.
These monks lived together in the same city, and no fights broke out, just because there were rules in the city.
No matter where the monks belong, they must put aside their grudges in the city, otherwise they will be ruthlessly suppressed.
There is a Wanghai Pavilion in the city, which is a hundred feet high and is the tallest building in the city.
Wanghai Pavilion is not built by man-made masonry, but is transformed from a petrified animal bone. It sticks diagonally into the sky and has existed for an unknown number of years.
On the top of the giant animal bones, a gorgeous building was built, which was a gathering place for the practitioners.
At this moment, many practitioners gathered in Wanghai Pavilion, talking about news related to the Mysterious Cult.
With the help of interested people, the events of the Secret Cult spread across the entire continent, and all the dust-shuttered secrets were revealed to the world.
There are many practitioners who are completely unaware of these past experiences, but it is precisely because of this that they become increasingly panicked and fearful.
They felt extremely panicked when they thought that the secret sect was raging and the mainland had become a hunting ground for monsters.
Most of what the monks talked about was how to fight against this catastrophe.
Some monks suggested going to sea, while others suggested joining Loucheng. Each had their own reasons, and no one could easily convince the other.
There are also some monks who suggest joining the Northern Xinjiang camp, believing that they are the hope of the spiritual world.
This suggestion was immediately refuted as soon as it was proposed.
"I'm afraid you don't know at all that the big boss behind the Secret Cult of God Advent is actually Lord Blackwater of Northern Xinjiang.
His identity was discovered by Lou Cheng, and there was a big battle between the two sides. During this period, True Lord Blackwater summoned the Five Zang Gods, but was crushed into pieces by the Lord of Lou Cheng..."
The cultivator was beaming with joy as he recounted a shocking war before, attracting the attention of the monks present.
This is the first time that the story of this battle has been spread to Wuhan, so the monks are naturally very interested.
Managers who have not returned to Hong Kong are also listening in secret. This piece of news is equally important to them.
As members of the SAARC camp, they are in a very difficult situation, and they don't know what to choose next.
Wanting to fight against Northern Xinjiang is tantamount to wishful thinking. Wanting to join Loucheng, the distance between the two is too far, and I don't know the specific foundation, so I don't dare to join it rashly.
Nowadays, another secret sect has emerged and has become the public enemy of the three parties. Not only has the crisis not been alleviated, it has even become more dangerous.
No matter Beijiang or Loucheng, as long as you choose to surrender and join, you can get a chance of survival.
However, it is not possible to surrender to the Mysterious Cult. It simply uses all living things as food, and there is no possibility of joining it at all.
While the monks were discussing among themselves, another figure stood up.
"After hearing you talk about Loucheng, I have some experience that I can share with you.
Not long ago, I went to Daqi and was fortunate enough to enter the interior of the city and see many things that were different from the outside world..."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the monk spoke slowly and slowly described the situation in Loucheng.
Everyone was attracted again and listened carefully to each other's stories. As a newly rising special force, Lou Cheng naturally received great attention.
However, due to various reasons, very little information about Loucheng has been circulated to the outside world, and it is even more mysterious than the Secret Cult of God Advent.
The monks felt incredible after hearing about the upgrading vision of Loucheng and the various benefits provided to them.
"What you said is too exaggerated. Could it be that you are deliberately bragging for Loucheng?"
Soon some practitioners raised questions to the other party.
Other monks also had this idea, but what they said was really exaggerated. Even the top sects on the mainland, the elite disciples of the sects, would not receive such treatment at all.
Not to mention that the rules of Loucheng are that everyone can do this, which is even more incredible.
Cultivation is inherently heaven-defying and requires the assistance of various materials to build a ladder to immortality for monks.
The world is not infinite, and resources are not endless. It is impossible for every practitioner to obtain them arbitrarily.
How many resources does Loucheng have to support such horrific consumption?
Based on their own experience, practitioners feel incredible and it is reasonable to raise questions.
But not everyone is like this. Many monks have actually obtained similar news through various channels.
They were also hesitant, unable to believe that Lou Cheng was so generous, and even more worried that this was a trap.
There are also some monks who are tempted and want to go to Loucheng to take a look, but they are worried about being intercepted by the monks from Northern Xinjiang.
Since defeating the Southern League, Northern Xinjiang has blocked all passages, prohibiting the passage of any monks outside Northern Xinjiang.
In this harsh environment, if you want to reach Loucheng from no return port, you must take huge risks.
Under uncertain circumstances, if you take action rashly, you are very likely to be trapped halfway, or even die unexpectedly.
One message after another caused the monks in Wanghai Pavilion to talk a lot, and their mood became more and more irritable.
“I practice cultivation just to achieve detachment, to get rid of the worldly distractions, and to no longer be subject to all kinds of restrictions.
In the end, I discovered that I thought I had escaped the shackles, but in fact I fell into a bigger cage."
Such a sigh made other monks nod their heads, feeling unspeakable annoyance in their hearts.
While the monks were talking, a figure suddenly rushed in with a surprised expression on his face.
"Fellow Taoists, listen to me. The Northern Xinjiang camp has just announced that as long as they are practitioners going to Loucheng, they will let them go unconditionally!"
When the monks heard this, they were once again surprised. The two major forces that were supposed to be in tit-for-tat would actually abandon their previous differences and choose to cooperate?
After thinking about the news they had heard before, the monks came to the conclusion that this move should be to fight against the secret sect of the gods.
This is true for both camps, which is enough to show that the situation is extremely serious.
The monks were silent, but they were all thinking secretly in their hearts. It seemed that the time had come when they had to make a choice.
In the corner of Wanghai Pavilion, Master Lei Yun saw this scene with a faint smile on his face.
