Chapter 268: Movements of All Parties
After Lin Feng noticed this situation, he simply stopped retaining his strength and directly controlled the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren to jump toward the distance. In a few flashes, he disappeared directly within the range of the incense building.
By the time others in the incense building heard the movement and rushed out, the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren had already disappeared without a trace. They couldn't help but look at the incense maker who had been knocked away by the Corpse-Collecting Zhiren.
"Who is so bold as to attack us at the God-Worshiping Meeting!"
"It looks a bit like those black-clothed assassins who attacked us before!"
"Humph, it's those guys again. I heard the Third Ancestor say we should let them go for now. I didn't expect that after such a short time, these guys would bully us again!"
"..."
Lin Feng didn't know about the reaction of the Incense Temple crowd, but he had some clues about the Incense Temple's next plans.
"This brainwashing process is probably reaching the final stage now. Those people are probably already believing in the so-called Five Fortune Gods from the bottom of their hearts. If the Incense Temple people want them to offer anything, they will probably agree with joy."
"So next is the Incense Master harvesting these believers, and finally relying on this huge number of sacrifices to ascend to godhood in one fell swoop..."
Although Lin Feng was not clear about the Incense Master's specific plans, it was like the fruit in the orchard finally ripening after hard cultivation. The next stage was definitely the ruthless harvesting stage.
"It seems that I must speed up the improvement of my strength and strive to raise my internal energy to a thousand-year level as soon as possible!"
After thinking carefully, Lin Feng didn't rush to take action against the Incense Temple people. Killing those disciples and disciples again had no meaning. The key was still on the Incense Master.
It was just that such a scheming Saint would definitely not show up easily without absolute certainty. The only opportunity he could grasp was that one.
That was to take action fiercely at the critical moment when the other party was performing the God-Ascension ritual, and directly kill the other party ruthlessly to eliminate this hidden danger!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng left his room again and came to the depths of Xinglong Ling to practice martial arts.
——————
In the east of Great Xia, the Li King, who was once powerful and occupied a large area in the south of Great Xia, was now extremely irritable.
Since a few days ago, he had vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he ordered people to inquire about the situation everywhere. The final news made him understand that the entire Mingzhou was finished.
Inside and outside the city, most of the common people knew how to burn incense and worship gods every day. No matter how cold the wind and snow were, they would go to the incense building to burn incense and worship, and finally indulge in the ethereal illusion created by the incense.
What made him feel even more terrified was that this situation was not only among ordinary people, but also among the wealthy and powerful families in the city.
Of course, these upper-class people would naturally not gather with those ordinary people, and often they would build a shrine in the courtyard to worship day and night.
The more he knew, the more he understood that the eastern states had long been out of his control, and most of the officials under his command had now been infiltrated by the Incense Temple...
Besides the Li King, there were many hidden sects and factions in the eastern states. When Lin Feng arranged for the assassin Paper Men to attack the Incense Temple, they didn't do less to trip them up in secret.
But since the Incense Master fiercely took action against the three Great Xia Saints, these sects and factions immediately subsided.
The sect masters of these sects with long traditions were basically all people who had become refined. For them, things without much risk could naturally be done, but if it was something that needed to bet the entire sect, they had to be extremely cautious.
That Incense Master had quite a few records in their sect ancient books. They couldn't say they knew the strength of such characters like the back of their hands, but they understood at least one basic point, that is, if he didn't take action, he wouldn't; if he took action, it would definitely be earth-shattering!
A few days ago, the three Great Xia Saints suddenly fell, and the Five Fortune God statue of the Incense Master manifested light without any reason, which proved this point.
At that time, I don't know how many sect masters and elders were rejoicing that their decision at the beginning was correct. Otherwise, when the Incense Master was out of trouble, it would be the time when they suffered a devastating disaster!
But as the Incense Master was out of trouble, the situation in the eastern states did not stabilize, but began to surge, which also gave these sects and factions a sense of crisis.
"It seems that he wants to hold a God-Ascension ritual!"
"I didn't expect this to be encountered by us!"
"I knew that the Incense Master's birth would definitely not be a good thing!"
"This time, I'm afraid it will usher in a real great change. That person wants to ascend to the God-Man position, and other Saints may not sit and watch him succeed!"
In Zhangzhou, in a hidden mountain cave, key figures from sects and factions in the eastern states gathered here to discuss important matters.
"Eight states, ten million living people, just for him to achieve the God-Man position, it is truly conscience-less!"
Among them, an old man from the Mo family in Qinzhou complained to the others around him with a face full of sorrow.
"Conscience-less, so what? Don't you know how many times such things have happened in various dynasties!"
"Up to now, has that person ever suffered half a heavenly punishment for his actions? Humph, the three Great Xia Saints also died in his hands. I don't know how many people this move has deterred. Even Saints of the same level are probably afraid to act rashly!"
At this time, a strong man not far from the Mo family old man looked extremely hateful, but what he said made the people around him feel desperate.
"You have a Saint supporting you behind your back, and you are still so cautious. What can we do with only a few Supreme Ancestors or Saint relics?"
"That is, that is, this conference might as well not be held. We should go back and seal the mountain gate now. Next, we should strictly order the disciples in the sect not to take half a step out of the mountain gate!"
Others stood up one after another. Compared with the Mo family or the Qingyun Sword Sect where the strong man was, they were far behind.
Now hearing these sects say so, they naturally had the intention to retreat one by one. According to their thoughts, the Incense Temple's main target this time was still ordinary people. As long as they were willing to seal the mountain gate, they should be able to avoid this disaster.
"Bang!"
"You are really not enough to succeed and more than enough to fail!"
"Do you really think this great disaster is just a disaster for those ordinary people?"
"Do you know what a God-Man is? When that person achieves the God-Man position, can we really have a foothold in the eastern states?"
"Hehe, at that time, I'm afraid that living under someone else's breath is light. I'm afraid that we will be eaten until not even bone dregs are left!"
However, at this moment, an old man wearing colorful paper clothes suddenly spoke.
This person was an elder of the Paper-Making Hall. His words instantly poked the pain points of everyone present.
What forces are afraid of between forces is not that you are stronger than me, but that you can easily surpass all other forces and form a situation of dominating the family.
At that time, that force would be unstoppable. Even if the person in charge didn't have many thoughts, who could know what the disciples and deacons under his command would do? ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
