Chapter 230: Taking the Initiative
angqing had a knowing smile on his face.I didn't expect that.A martial officer before my eyes, could even put a hat on better than Nie Xu, who was a civilian official.As usual, even if Wen Ce said som...The news of the Zhenyue Pai's annihilation.
In less than half a day, it spread like the wind, and at an extremely fast pace, it spread to other places.
Everyone who received the news was shocked.
Mount Zhenyue School!
What is that force
As a top-tier sect, the opposing faction has stood in Nan Youfu for hundreds of years. Their reputation in Nan Youfu is second to none, except perhaps compared to those supreme sects. They are considered top-tier.
Even so.
...was also said to be exterminated by the Demon Suppression Division.
All the factions surrounding Zhanyue Sect were also living in fear, many worried that they would be caught in the crossfire.
It's just that.
When the turmoil caused by the destruction of Zhenyue Sect hadn't subsided, a new wave of troubles emerged.
First, the Demon Suppression Division made a large-scale mobilization. Dozens of sects and schools were attacked. At best, high-level martial artists all committed suicide to apologize, and at worst, they were completely wiped out.
Then.
Just a few other top-tier clans received the last ultimatum from the Demon Suppression Division.
>
For a while.
In the depths of Nan You Mansion, the wind howled and clouds swirled.
Qingyuzong.
Since the former Sect Master, Yun Dingtian, died in the Heavenly Realm, the sect officially fell from the level of an unparalleled great sect.
Then, the new sect leader took office, who was also a famous master in the Jianghu.
Originally, Qingyu Sect lost its peak master's presence. It should have been coveted by other supreme sects.
The following is an example of what you could do. For example, if you wanted to translate the phrase "Hello world!" into English, you would simply write:"Hello world!"Please note that this is just a simple example. There are many other ways to translate text from one language to another.
Alas.
When Maha Heng emerged from the heavens and formed the League of All Under Heaven, all attention in Nan You Prefecture's martial arts world was drawn to these events.
This way.
Those who truly care about the Qingyu Sect are few and far between.
That's also why.
The Qingyu Sect was thus able to recuperate and avoid major repercussions.
Now.
> The main hall of the Qingyu Sect.
The newly appointed Sect Master, Chang Yin, sat in the main seat, looking at the elders on both sides. His expression was somewhat solemn.
“The rumors circulating in the Jianghu, have you all heard them The two Demon Suppression Commands of Poshan City and Nansha City are now targeting other sects. Dozens of sects have been destroyed by these attacks, and news has reached many more.”
>
“My Qinyu Sect's strength has been depleted now, I have to consider staying or leaving.”

Speaking of the Demon Suppression Division.
All the elders had grave expressions.
After the words fell, the head elder spoke in a deep voice: "According to the news, the sects that the Demon Suppression Division sent out this time were all on the grounds of violating the laws of the Great Qin. In the past when demons wreaked havoc, our Qingyu Sect also took action to quell them."
Logically speaking, the 鎮魔司's sword shouldn't be able to reach us Qingyu Sect.
He didn't believe that the Demon Suppression Division's actions this time would reach the Qingyu Sect.
Speaking of which.
The Qingyuzong has a long history. While it receives offerings from the local people, it also strives to fulfill its duty with dedication.
Whenever there are demonic or supernatural calamities, the Qingyu Sect will take action to resolve them.
That's also the case.
This makes the reputation of Qingyuzong in this area quite good.
Upon hearing this.
An elder shook his head: “Grand Elder, you are mistaken. Though we have done our duty diligently, the imperial court has always harbored resentment towards our martial sects. Now that the Heaven Alliance is causing chaos, they may very well seize this opportunity to weaken us.”
>
Did all the destroyed sects violate the laws of the Qin Dynasty
He paused for a moment.
He continued, "Black or white, it all depends on the word of the Demon Suppression Division. If one day the Demon Suppression Division marches to my Qingyu Sect and says that my Qingyu Sect colluded with demons, violating the laws of the Qin Dynasty, then they would directly destroy my Qingyu Sect."
"What could I possibly say at that time"
>
Hearing this.
Some elders who were still pondering deeply, their faces changed once again.
Indeed.
>
The Demon Suppression Division has a legitimate reason to take this opportunity to purge the underworld influence within Southern Gloom Mansion.
Very simple reasons.
>
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect rebelled and established a Heavenly Alliance, gathering many sects under its banner.
That is all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This must have alerted the imperial court to the threat.
Now, the Town Demon Division is the sharpest blade in the imperial court's hand.
When facing something threatening, it's only reasonable for the imperial court to call upon the Demon Suppression Division to handle it.
When Chang Yin heard this, his face also changed color.
He had many speculations in his mind about the Demonic Suppression Division.
Unable to make a decision, he summoned many elders for consultation.
Don't speak unless necessary.
The Elder shook his head: "Speculation is just speculation. Although the court proclaims that martial arts are outlawed, it's impossible to completely eradicate all underworld forces."
Demons and monsters run rampant throughout the world. Although the Demonic Suppression Division can suppress demons and monsters across the land.
When actual demonic calamities occur, the power they can wield is still limited. Many times, it takes the combined efforts of our various sects to resolve a region's demonic calamity.
>
If the Demon Suppression Bureau really wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate all the sects of the Nan Youfu, it would undoubtedly be digging its own grave.
"I believe the Demon Suppression Office wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a thing."
Besides.
"The Jianghu of Nanyou Prefecture could be eradicated, but how could the Jianghu of Qin's Nine Prefectures be eradicated Even if it was eradicated on the surface, it would be impossible to completely root it out in secret."
If this were to happen, then the Imperial Court and the martial world would be completely on opposite sides.
"On both moral and practical grounds, this would be detrimental to them."

Inside the main hall, some elders nodded in agreement after hearing the analysis.
This is the time.
>
Chang Yin said: "The Great Elder is not wrong, but one should be prepared for the worst. What if the Demon Suppression Division really points its blade at our Qingyu Sect Then what would we do"
“Master, do you think we still have any choices left”
The elder priest asked back.
Immediately.
Chang Yin's complexion had darkened slightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What did the Grand Elder mean by that
"The Great Qin Nine Provinces, the Demon Suppression Division dominates everything. The only ones who can contend with the Demon Suppression Division right now are the Everlasting Alliance and the Worldly Alliance. However, the Everlasting Alliance is composed of demons. How can we martial artists associate with demons"
As for the Heavenly Alliance, Master wouldn't he have thought about how the previous Master met his end
Welcome, new Sect Master!
This is the end of a paragraph.
When everyone heard these words, their hearts skipped a beat.
Chang Yin spoke in a low voice, "What does the Great Elder know"
“Though I don't know what it is, I can guess.”
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
The Elder shook his head, his voice calm.
At that time, among those who entered the Heavenly Realm, besides the people from the Demon Suppression Division, only the former Sect Master and Yin Zichen of the Heavenly Demon Sect had reached the peak strength of a Grandmaster.

Yin Zijie's strength is good, but he clearly doesn't have the power to kill Yun Zongzhu.
But judging from the news given by those who came out of the Heavenly Realm, it is impossible for the Demon Suppression Division to kill Yun Sect Master.
After all, the Town Demon Division's guard in charge of guarding the Heavenly Realm is only comparable to the peak strength of a sect master. Even if Yun Zongzhu couldn't defeat him, escaping wouldn't be a problem.
The only ones truly capable of killing Cloud Sect Master are Shen Changqing and Shi Mohe.
Upon hearing this.
Chang Yin fell silent, and the others lapsed into contemplation as well.
The Grand Elder said: “Shen Changqing did not need to attack Yun Sect Master when he obtained the Fruit of Longevity. The person who truly killed Yun Sect Master is self-evident.”
Besides, the Demon Suppression Office also had a Marshal who died at the hands of Mahā in the Heavenly Realm.
If Shi Mohe really is the murderer of the previous Sect Master, then Qingyu Sect aligning with the Heavenly Alliance would be like walking straight into a trap.
“So, Sect Leader, do you think there's any way out for our Qingyu Sect”
In the face of this issue, Changyin did not respond.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If everything the other party says is true, then the Qingyuzong truly has no way out.
>
You cannot rely on the Heavenly Alliance.
You cannot join the Eternal Alliance.
Then if the Demon Suppression Division really wanted to attack the Qingyu Sect, they would have no way to resist.
To put it another way.
Even if the Qingyu Sect wanted to join forces with the Eternal Life Alliance, they would need a way to do so.
Join the Everlasting Alliance.
It's not something that you can just join.
And.
Over the past few months, after the great battle in Nan You Fu, the Eternal Alliance suffered heavy losses and has not reappeared since. It is highly likely that they were scared off by Shen Changqing.
In this case.
It's unrealistic for the Qingyu Sect to join forces with the Eternal Life Alliance.
Thinking of this, Chang Yin let out a deep sigh.
"As the head of the Qingyuzong, a grand sect with a thousand-year history, to have fallen into such disarray is entirely my incompetence as its master!"
"Sect Master, do not belittle yourself. The Demon Suppression Division is powerful, and the Southern Ghost Mansion's commander is a renowned Grandmaster of our time. It is normal that our Qingyu Sect cannot contend with them."
Right now, Shen Changqing has just taken office. He must definitely want to establish his authority when dealing with those sects.
As long as our Qingyu Sect adheres to our principles, I believe the Demon Suppression Office has no reason to attack us. Even if they destroyed our Qingyu Sect, it wouldn't benefit them in any way.
The elder smiled faintly.
Next, he changed the subject again.
“Besides, Yun Sect Master's death at the hands of Shi Mahā is almost certain. The Heavenly Alliance can also be considered an enemy of my Qingyu Sect. With our sect’s strength, it’s almost impossible to seek revenge.”
But the Nanyou Prefecture Demon Suppression Office added a contemporary Grand Master. Facing all the world's alliances, it was naturally invincible from the start.
Unless Shi Mohe makes another breakthrough, it will be impossible to defeat the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Perhaps we should make friends with the Demon Suppression Department. If we can secure their support, the Qingyu Sect could not only recover but even ascend to new heights.
Seek refuge in the Demon Suppression Division!

Chang Yin was shaken by this idea.
Here is the translated text:

He realized that in terms of overall perspective, he was still too immature compared to the seasoned wisdom of this elder.
Advantages and disadvantages.
The other party had already seen it clearly.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Think about it carefully.
What the Grand Elder said was mostly beneficial for the Qingyuzong.
>
Even though joining the Demon Suppression Office damaged Qingyuzong's reputation in the Jianghu, how could a mere reputation compare to the importance of the Demon Suppression Office's support
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The only question at hand.
Then one has to consider whether the Demon Suppression Division would accept the olive branch offered by the Qingyu Sect.
"What the Grand Elder said makes sense, but it's unlikely that the Demon Suppression Division would even consider someone from our Qingyu Sect!"
Her brows were always tightly furrowed.
Please note that the original content was empty. Therefore, the translation is also empty.
The Great Elder chuckled softly, "Sect Leader, you underestimate the Qingyu Sect. Our sect has the foundation of a supreme sect after all. Though we lack a master at the pinnacle now, in other aspects, we are not much weaker than those supreme sects."
With such a powerful force expressing goodwill and seeking allegiance, the Demon Suppression Division couldn't possibly turn them away.
In the vast Nan Youfu, how many peerless great sects are there
The news of the Qingshu Sect's allegiance to the Demon Suppression Division might also cause other sects to side with it.

This is a good thing for the Zhenmo Division.
