In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

On July 13, 967, Daqian, Dalin Village in Guobei County, Dingnan County was massacred. No one of the 682 people in the village survived. It was suspected that the demons of the Blood Demon Cult were responsible.

On July 13, 967, Yong'an Village in Guobei County, Dingnan County, was massacred. No one of the 876 people in the village survived. It was verified by the Zhenwu Division that it was the murder of Mao Shisan, a demon from the Blood Demon Cult.

On July 14, 967, Dongpo Village in Changzhi County, Dingnan County, was massacred. No one of the 1,382 people in the village survived. There was a pool of blood left at the scene, which was suspected to have been caused by demons from the Blood Demon Cult.

…

On July 16, 967, Daxi Town, Lianhua County, Dingnan County, was massacred. No one of the 7,482 people in the town survived. It was verified by the Imperial City Division that it was the work of the Lianhua County Branch of the Blood Demon Sect. The scene was A blood pool and sacrificial altar remain.

On July 17, 967, Dalin Village in Guobei County, Dingnan County was massacred, and no one of the 12,728 people in the town survived...

…

In Tiannan City, Yang An looked at the information in his hand and frowned slightly.

Ever since the news of the Guixu Divine Treasure in the South China Sea spread, massacres of villages and families in Dingnan County have occurred frequently, and the scale is still expanding.

From a small village at the beginning to a large town with ten thousand people today, if it continues to develop, Yang An will not be surprised if it is the county seat's turn one day.

Most of these massacred villages and towns have three characteristics in common:

First, most of these large-scale massacres of villages and towns took place near Guobei County in Dingnan County, Haizhou. Only some scattered small-scale murders of families occurred in other places. They were carried out by demons from the Blood Demon Cult who were encircled and suppressed by the imperial court. for.

Second, all the dead bodies were shriveled and all the blood was drained from the body of the deceased. There was a blood pool and a blood demon altar left at the crime scene.

Third, these massacres of villages and towns were basically completed overnight, and no one was spared.

Yang An has calculated it.

Adding up the massacred villages and towns, the number of people sacrificed by the Blood Demon Cult was no less than 40,000.

Taking into account the national conditions of the Daqian Dynasty to conceal the population, it is possible that the real data may be increased three to five times.

In other words, in less than five or six days, the Blood Demon Cult killed more than 100,000 people.

Even these are only what happened in Dingnan County. If it were replaced by the entire Haizhou, and some scattered cases of family extermination were added, this number would probably double.

Such a crazy move directly refreshed Yang An's understanding of cults.

No wonder the evil cults in this world will become the public enemies of the world and will not be tolerated by the dynasties of the past dynasties.

According to their way of doing things, it would be strange to be able to gain support from normal people. If they really let them dominate the world, I am afraid that all living beings in the world will become their food.

What confuses Yang An the most is that with such a big thing happening in Dingnan County, Tiannan City has not received any letters asking for help from Dingnan County.

If it hadn't been reported by Zhao Yuan, the Marquis of the Gongwei Division.

He didn't even know that such a horrific thing had happened in Dingnan County in the past few days.

"When such a big thing happened, didn't Dingnan County Government and Dingnan Marquis Mansion take any action?"

Yang An put down the information in his hand and asked Zhao Yuan, the Marquis of the Archguard Division in front of him.

Zhao Yuan did not dare to hide anything and answered truthfully: "Back to your highness, Dingnan County and the Hou's Mansion have sent troops to investigate. However, the demons of the Blood Demon Cult are cunning. The county and the Hou's Mansion often massacre villages and towns just after they get the news. occur."

"During this period, the Dingnan Army was dispatched several times, but in the end they failed."

"Even if the two government offices and the third division jointly dispatched powerful people to investigate, they have encountered various obstacles and it is difficult to trace the traces of the Blood Demon Cult demons."

"The Dingnan County Arch Guard Department has no choice but to ask for help from lower-ranking officials."

Yang An understood clearly after hearing this.

It's not that Dingnan County Mansion and Dingnan Marquis Mansion are incompetent, but that the other party has chosen to fight guerrillas.

The enemy is dark and we are clear, and the battle front is deep and wide.

By the time the court received the news, the blood sacrifice had been completed, and they had no choice but to clean up the mess to prevent something unknown from happening.

The most hateful thing is that there are many forces secretly waiting for the Blood Demon Sect to successfully open the Guixu Divine Treasure in the South China Sea. Before the authenticity of the Guixu Divine Treasure in Hainan is confirmed, they will definitely not allow the court to destroy the blood sacrifice of the Blood Demon Sect. .

Even among these forces, it is impossible to say that some of them came from within the imperial court.

In this way, it would be strange for the Dingnan County Government and the Dingnan County Sansi Government Office to track down the traces of the Blood Demon Cult demons and prevent them from massacring villages and towns in blood sacrifices.

This also made Yang An understand a truth.

In this world, everything is virtual, only the power in your hands is real.

If he didn't want to be like the people who were massacred by the demons of the Blood Demon Cult and died in confusion without knowing what happened, he could only think of ways to strengthen himself.

Mountains will fall if you rely on them, and people will run if you rely on them.

Only the power in your own hands is the most reliable.

One hundred thousand people!

Just because a Nanhai Guixu Shenzang who didn't know the truth was abandoned and blood sacrificed.

Even this is just the beginning. As long as the news about the Guixu Divine Treasure in the South China Sea is not confirmed, or the South China Sea Guixu Divine Treasure is not opened, blood sacrifices like this will not stop.

Such a sensational thing.

Even though Yang An was familiar with history books, he still felt cold in his heart.

He was really shocked.

All I can say is: It is indeed a world of high martial arts, and the killing efficiency is very high!

However, what would happen even if Yang An knew about it?

In the eyes of those in power, the common people are nothing more than weeds.

As long as they can open the Nanhai Guixu Divine Treasure, they will not even blink an eye if they sacrifice one million people, let alone one hundred thousand people.

It comes down to it.

The world will still be peaceful for a long time.

Nowadays, the private population is growing crazily, and even the border areas are experiencing overpopulation.

To those in power, the death of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands is nothing, and it may even reduce the pressure of overpopulation under their control.

If it doesn't work, just wait until the matter is over and take some holes from other places to make up for it.

It will not affect the rule of the imperial court and aristocratic families for a long time.

Since it does not affect the core interests of each family, everyone is naturally not very interested in encircling and suppressing the Blood Demon Sect. Instead, they hope that the Blood Demon Sect can really find the Guixu Divine Treasure in the South China Sea and open it.

What works is effective.

If those at the top are not prepared to take action, how can those below take action on their own?

If they really wanted to encircle and suppress the Blood Demon Sect, with the strength of the imperial court and other major forces in Haizhou, they would have completely surrounded and suppressed the Blood Demon Sect in Haizhou.

How could it be like now, instead of helping the imperial court to suppress the Blood Demon Cult, they would continue to obstruct and hold them back one by one in secret? The reason behind this is everyone can see clearly.

in this case.

Even though Yang An was the prince of Daqian, he had the power to temporarily recruit warriors from local families and sects to control Haizhou's border troops, but he was helpless and powerless.

Because Haizhou Guixu Shenzang was born.

This is a decision jointly made by all the major forces in the world.

Not to mention Yang An, the prince of Daqian, even Emperor Tailong, the emperor of Daqian, could not stop him.

Yang An didn't know if Zhao Yuan understood this truth, or he deliberately threw this problem to himself.

But Yang An himself is self-aware and knows that he cannot stop this matter.

So he thought for a while and said: "Everyone can kill the blood demon monster. Since the Dingnan County Arch Guards has asked Zhao Junhou for help, it would be better for Zhao Junhou to take the people there himself."

"In addition, I will also ask the Imperial City Department and the Zhenwu Department to fully assist Zhao Junhou."

"I believe that with Zhao Junhou's ability, this matter will be resolved satisfactorily. When Zhao Junhou returns in triumph, I will definitely ask for merit for Zhao Junhou in front of my father."

Yang An didn't know what Zhao Yuan really thought.

But since it was the Archguard Division of Haizhou Dingnan County asking for help, it would be up to him, the military lord of the Haizhou Archguard Division, to personally lead his people to solve the problem.

For this reason, Yang An also gave Zhao Yuan the greatest support and asked the Haizhou Imperial City Division and the Zhenwu Division to assist him in solving the matter.

Even if the three Haizhou divisions join forces, the matter cannot be resolved.

Then Yang An really has no choice.

After all, the problem now is not that Haizhou Sansi cannot defeat the Blood Demon Cult, but that it is unable to trace the traces of the Blood Demon Cult demons.

We can't let him, Prince Daqian, lead people to track him personally, right?

Leave professional matters to professionals.

As a layman, he will not give random orders.

…………

A few days later.

Yang An looked at the request for help letter in his hand and frowned tightly.

This is a letter asking for help from Zhao Yuan, the military lord of the Gongwei Division.

The letter stated that the Blood Demon Cult in Dingnan County was very powerful, and there were three Blood Demon users of the second level of martial arts. Many powerful people, including the Third Division of Haizhou in the imperial court and the Marquis of Dingnan, were all trapped in the Dingnan County due to their carelessness. Guobei County, Dingnan County.

Now everyone from the Blood Demon Sect has set up a blood river formation outside the city, intending to perform a blood sacrifice on the entire Guobei County. The situation is critical, and they hope Yang An can send someone to rescue them as soon as possible.

"Blood River Formation, blood sacrifice in Guobei County, the situation is critical?"

Yang An looked at the letter asking for help in his hand and couldn't help but sneered: "This is treating me as a fool."

"As soon as we arrived at Dingnan County with our people, we were trapped in Guobei County together with Haizhou Sansi, Dingnan Houfu and other powerful men. The situation was critical."

"This is clear before you have any ideas about me."

Although Dingnan County is not far from Tiannan City, it is still more than three thousand miles away.

If it is true as stated in Zhao Yuan's request for help, the powerful men such as Haizhou Sansi and Dingnan Houfu were all trapped in Guobei County by the Blood Demon Sect's monsters using the Blood River Formation.

So if Yang An wants to rescue him in time, he must have someone take the Feitianlou ship there.

Moreover, more than three second-grade martial arts masters must be sent.

However, in Tiannan City today, how many Dharma Masters are there in the imperial court?

The two original Dharma Masters, Wei Dayong and Zhang Heng, were imprisoned and escorted to the capital.

Zhao Yuan and Ding Nanhou, the military commanders of the Gongwei Division, were directly trapped in Guobei County, waiting for rescue.

Therefore, apart from the Jinwu Guards in Yang An's hands, the second-grade Dharma Master left in Tiannan City by the imperial court now only has two Dharma Masters from the Tianhai Regiment, one Dharma Master from the Lihuo Regiment, and Luo Sansheng, the Governor of Haizhou. .

The key is that these four Dharma Masters cannot be easily transferred.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it will be a question whether Tiannan City's protective formation can still be activated, and the entire Haizhou may fall.

In other words, the only ones who can go to Dingnan County for rescue now are the Jinwu Guards in Yang An's hands, and they also have to drive the Feitianlou ship to go there.

Once the Jinwu Guards and Feitian Tower were trapped in Guobei County, Dingnan County.

If something unexpected happens in Tiannan City, it may be a problem for Yang An to escape.

"So, the real purpose of the Blood Demon Sect may not be to find and open the Guixu Divine Treasure in the South China Sea, but rather to me, the Thirteenth Prince of Daqian."

"It is very likely that they want to repeat what happened in Yunzhou and kill a Daqian prince."

"As long as one more prince dies in the court, the court's prestige will inevitably disappear, and many heroes in the world will be ready to move."

"Doing so will certainly not directly lead to the demise of the Daqian Dynasty, but it will be enough to make the Daqian Dynasty decline from its peak and gradually lose control over the world's aristocratic families and martial arts sects."

When Yang An thought of this, his heart tightened.

This is not that he is worrying about nothing and suffering from paranoia.

It's just that the things in Dingnan County are too weird.

The people of the Blood Demon Cult are not fools.

The people of other forces are even less fools.

Once the people of the Blood Demon Cult sacrifice a county city with blood and kill two dukes of the court, it will inevitably make the court furious, and the court will exclude the real strong men to take action.

At that time, you still want to open the Nanhai Guixu Divine Treasure through blood sacrifice?

How is it possible.

As for other major forces?

They might secretly obstruct the imperial court from suppressing the Blood Demon Cult and let the Blood Demon Cult perform a blood sacrifice in order to verify the truth of the Nanhai Guixu Shenzang, but they would never face the wrath of the imperial court for a piece of news that they didn't know was true or false.

The people of the Blood Demon Cult couldn't fail to see this.

So here comes the question.

Since the people of the Blood Demon Cult are not fools.

What is their purpose in doing this?

Is it to delay the imperial court's strongmen and open the Nanhai Guixu Shenzang?

Or do they have other purposes and other conspiracies?

If it is the former, then the Blood Demon Cult's people set up the Blood River Array, which is definitely not for the blood sacrifice of Guobei County and killing the two dukes of the imperial court, but to delay the imperial court's strongmen in Dingnan County.

And if it is the latter?

It is hard not to doubt whether the real purpose of the Blood Demon Cult is Yang An, the thirteenth prince of Daqian.

So Yang An suspected that the purpose of the Blood Demon Cult was himself, not because he was worried about the sky and suffered from paranoia, but because this possibility was very high.

Even if he guessed wrong, it would be fine.

Because unless the Blood Demon Cult does not want to open the South Sea Guixu Divine Treasure, or the news of the South Sea Guixu Divine Treasure is false, the Blood Demon Cult has been playing fools with the major forces in the world from beginning to end.

Otherwise, the Blood Demon Cult will definitely not sacrifice blood in Guobei County and kill Zhao Yuan and Dingnan Hou, two court nobles.

In this case, Yang An naturally does not need to rush to rescue.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the news of the South Sea Guixu Divine Treasure is false, and the reason why the Blood Demon Cult did this is to retaliate against the Daqian court, so they will directly sacrifice blood in Guobei County and kill a group of court strongmen and two court nobles in the county.

But if they really do this.

What the Blood Demon Cult needs to bear is not only the anger of the court, but also the anger of all the major forces that participated in it.

And the court can also use this incident to review all the major forces involved in the blood sacrifice and let them spit out some benefits.

In this way, even if the court loses two nobles, it will not lose.

So no matter which possibility it is.

Yang An does not need to rush to send people to rescue.

The only thing he was worried about now was that the Blood Demon Cult had made such a big move, but were there only three Blood Demon Envoys of the second rank in martial arts?

Are there any powerful first rank Heavenly Man Grandmasters of the Blood Demon Cult hiding in the dark?

In other words, the Blood Demon Cult dared to do this when they knew that there might be a first rank Heavenly Man Grandmaster protecting him. What was their confidence?

Thinking of this.

The expression on Yang An's face became more solemn.
