Killing demons and defending morality is a rhetoric that people from well-known and upright sects who claim to be chivalrous often talk about, but if their own interests are not threatened, they will not do thankless things.
Of course, Hua Bushi knew this very well. He said slowly: "Deputy Sect Master Tang, do you think that by joining forces, our two sects can fight against the devil?"
Tang Zilin said: "No, but it is not just your two sects and mine who join forces, but eight sects."
Hua Bushi said: "Eight families,"
Tang Zilin said: "When our sect discovered the devil's plot in Sichuan and decided to fight with the opponent, the first person Tang thought of was Master Hua. One of the reasons was that the 'Evil Dog Sect' had been in Hunan back then.
Jing and Yujing have fought against the devil before and know each other's depth. The second reason, and the more important one, is that the 'seven sects' must put aside their old grudges and join forces again. Only Master Hua can do this."
Two fires seemed to be lit in his eyes, and he said: "The power of the devil can be seen from the tyranny of the 'Baolian Sect' in the world. It is definitely not something that one or two sects can resist. The 'Evil Dog Sect'
Or the 'Sichuan Tang Sect' won't do it. If we want to eradicate the evil way, only our eight sects can unite and work together to succeed. This is also the only chance for Master Hua to avenge his father."
The "Evil Dog Sect" and Shaolin have already formed an alliance in Henan. The Huashan and Putuo sects have always looked up to Shaolin, while Tang Sect and Emei have no problems. The "Wudang Sect" and "Kongtong Sect" have always been attached to Shaolin.
The current imperial court, relying on the relationship between Hua Bushi and Cao Muyun, may also be able to persuade them to join.
Only unity is the way to win. Now it is really only Hua Bushi who can make the "seven sects" join forces to form an alliance.
Tang Zilin said: "According to Tang Tiexin's posthumous letter, the Immortal Cliff in Qionglai Mountain is the first of the 'Four Holy Lands' for people in the Demonic Path, and it is also the home base that they are determined not to give up. The alliance of our eight sects
If successful, by gathering the elite forces of various factions, we will be able to conquer this cliff in one fell swoop. As long as the leader of the demonic path is eliminated, the peripheral forces of the 'Baolian Sect' in various areas will be vulnerable to a single blow and will surely fall apart."
By forming an alliance with the "Seven Sects", the "Evil Dog Sect" is no longer alone. It does have the power to fight the devil head-on. However, what has always troubled Hua Bushi the most is that the whereabouts of people in the devil's path are hard to find.
The problem was easily solved with the map of Immortal Cliff.
Hua Bushi thought for a moment, and then said in a calm voice: "My 'Evil Dog Sect' is incompatible with the devil. Of course Hua Bushi will not miss this opportunity. He will definitely try his best to promote the eight factions to join forces to fight against the devil. But before that,
, I would like to see with my own eyes Tang Tiexin’s last letter and the map of Immortal Cliff, I wonder if it is convenient,”
Tang Zilin said: "Of course, Tang is carrying the letter and the map with him. Since our sect has decided to join forces with colleagues from various factions, we have no intention of keeping this secret."
He reached into his arms and took out an envelope that was already a little yellowed.
Hua Bushi took it in his hand, but he saw that the cover was written with fine brushwork on the cover, "Forefathers of the Tang Sect," and below it were the small words "The sinner kneels down with an iron heart." It was obvious that the deceased elder of the Tang Sect had no regard for him.
I deeply regret what I did, and that’s why I signed it like this.
Opening the envelope, it turned out that there were several sheets of paper filled with ink writing and a detailed topographic map. Hua Bushi glanced at the map for a few times and then began to read the contents on the paper.
Tang Tiexin's posthumous letter is just as Tang Zilin said. It describes how he went to the Immortal Cliff to look for medicine and was captured, and was forced to surrender to the devil and become a guest. The words are full of repentance, and on this letterhead, Hua Hua Bu Shi also saw the names of the nine people who participated in the search for the medicine. They were all senior masters from various sects. Except for Baohong Zhenren from the Wudang Sect, Fei Huazi from the Kongtong Sect, and others, Huaqing Zhenren of the "Huashan Sect" is also on the list.
Master Hua Qing was Yang Jiangyi's master, and he was one of the four people who died shortly after the medicine exploration trip. It seems that after he was captured, he did not give in and join the devil, so he was killed by the devil.
Ever since they parted ways in Xiaoshan, Hua Bushi has had no news about Yang Jiangyi. Over the past five years, the young master has missed her every day and remembered the agreement they made that day in the Hua family mansion.
With less than a hundred days left to live, it was uncertain whether he would see Yang Jiangyi again in this life. However, even if he used his last time to fulfill the promise he made to his sister that day, Hua Bushi secretly made up his mind.

Du Shijin, the leader of the "Guoshan Gang", stood in front of the window with a ghost-headed sword in his hand, one foot on the chair, looking sideways through the window purlin at the gate of "Tianma Hall" a hundred feet away across the street.
This is a private room on the second floor of a teahouse. The tea guests have already been driven away. There are two people beside Du Shijin, and in the hall downstairs, there are dozens of people holding knives and axes with murderous intent. Teng Teng's gang of disciples.
Du Shijin is in his thirties, tall and tall, wearing a brand-new black silk mandarin jacket, with a straight nose and a square mouth. He has a good appearance, but unfortunately his pupils are a bit crooked and he has a pair of eyebrows, so he always gives People feel like they have a sly eyebrow.
The two people beside him were a seven-foot-tall black-faced man with two big axes stuck on his waist, one on the left and one on the right. The other man, although shorter, was also quite strong and was dressed in green clothes. A wolf-tooth sword hung on his waist.
The big man with a dark face is Tong Lei, the leader of the "Hatchet Clan", while the man in green clothes and well-dressed is Jia Datong, the leader of the "Dahong Gang".
Xuecheng is a small town located in central Sichuan, about 180 miles away from Chengdu and only 40 miles away from Qionglai Mountain. "Kaoshan Gang", "Tianma Hall", "Hat Axe Gate" and "Daxi" "Hong Gang" is the four major gangs in Xuecheng City.
Among these four factions, the "Tianma Hall" should be the first, and the "Guoshan Gang" was originally the one with the smallest number of gangs and the weakest power. However, as time goes by, Du Shijin is now the most powerful in Xuecheng. The most powerful and most glorious person.
Because now Du Shijin has become the leader of the Xuecheng branch of the "Baolian Sect".
Du Shijin is not his real name, but his nickname. The so-called "Ten Gold" means that he is jealous of money. As long as he is given ten taels of gold, he will recognize his father and his mother, and he will also sell his ancestral tablets. And Du Shijin's Therefore, he was able to become the leader of the Xuecheng Branch Hall because he had a flexible mind and knew how to maneuver according to the prevailing circumstances.
In the past, when the "Tang Sect in Sichuan" was the dominant one in Sichuan, small gangs such as the "Guoshan Gang" were not recognized by others, and Du Shijin could only barely make a living. Now, the "Baolian Sect" has risen strongly, and the world has been shaken. There was chaos in the past, but it was a good opportunity for Xianyu to turn around and make a fortune.
The saying that heroes emerge from troubled times refers to Du Shijin.
Du Shijin was not strong in martial arts, nor was he good at managing gangs. The only thing he was most proud of was his vision. As soon as the "Baolian Sect" appeared, he brought a group of members of the "Backer Gang" to his door. He swore allegiance and was immediately appointed as the leader of the local branch church. However, the "Hat Ax Sect" and the "Dahong Gang" saw the opportunity far less quickly than Du Shijin. Although they later surrendered to the Holy Cult, they were still a step slower in the end. Tong Lei and Jia Datong could only find themselves as deputy hall masters and became Du Shijin's subordinates.
"Tianma Tang" is even more ignorant of current affairs and actually refuses to surrender. It is really stupid. Of course, this is no wonder. "Tianma Tang" is the largest Baidao sect in Xuecheng, and its leader Ma Yuntian is the "Tang Dynasty in Sichuan". Disciples with other surnames from the "Sect" will naturally not betray their master and join the "Baolian Sect".
Those who are ignorant of current affairs will only die.
Not to mention the mere "Tianma Hall", even the "Sichuan Tang Sect" and the "Emei Sect" cannot compete with the "Baolian Sect" now. Du Shijin led the crowd here today because he was ordered to destroy the "Tianma Sect" "Tang".
"Gang Leader Du, when will we take action?" Tong Lei asked beside him.
Du Shijin glared sideways and said: "Call me Hall Master Du. Now that we have all surrendered to the Holy Cult, the previous 'Backing Gang' and 'Short Ax Sect' no longer exist. I, Du Shijin, am Xuezhou Hall Master of the Branch Hall, please be smarter in the future and don’t call me wrong again, do you understand, Deputy Hall Master Tong?”
The local territory and influence of the "Backing Gang" are far inferior to that of the "Hatchet Clan". In the past, when Du Shijin saw Tong Lei, he had to smile with him and didn't even dare to take a breath, but now his voice and look were fierce. Unstoppable.
Tong Lei's dark face turned purple, but he had to lower his head when he was under the eaves. Now Du Shijin is his immediate boss, not to mention scolding him, but even slapping him in the mouth, Tong Lei will have to do it Tolerate.
Compared to Tong Lei, Jia Datong, the leader of the "Dahong Gang" on the side, was much smarter. He smiled and said: "Hall Master Du, we have been here for half an hour. It is very hard for everyone to stand here. Why not give the order now?" Brothers rush in. If you wait too long and Ma Yuntian notices something strange and strengthens his guard, then the surprise attack will be ineffective."
Du Shijin glanced at him and said: "Of course, this hall master knows the timing of the attack. Why are you talking so much? Are the manpower of both your factions ready to ambush?"
Jia Datong: "The brothers of the 'Dahong Gang' have already laid an ambush,"
Du Shijin glanced sideways at Tong Lei. Tong Lei was very angry and just said: "Okay."
Du Shijin snorted and said: "Even if it's ready, just wait a little longer. This action to annihilate the 'Tianma Hall' is of great importance. The Holy Cult General Altar has no plans left and has specially sent two masters to help. Our church has We have to wait until they arrive before taking action."
Jia Datong: "But I don't know which two experts the general altar has sent and when they will arrive."
Du Shijin said: "These are the Luo family brothers of the 'Double Evils of Black Water'. According to the news from the main forum, they should be here soon,"
"Two evil spirits of black water..." Jia Datong muttered, but stopped talking, and the look on Tong Lei's face became even more ugly.
