Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 1124 The History of the Daoist Sect

Cheng Kun looked at Ji Yunting and gave him a wink.

Ji Yunting understood his meaning, of course, but this was the result of a discussion between Bai Henian and Yan Zheng.

Even if Ji Yunting was unwilling, there was nothing he could do to change it.

“Alright, in that case, let’s do everything according to Master Yan’s wishes.”

Wei An smiled.

If possible, he actually wouldn't want to go to war with the Watchmen.

Lu Benwei and Zhan Wei both breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Yan Zheng can find out the truth, things won't escalate to the worst possible point.

……

After the meeting, Wei An arranged accommodations for Yan Zheng and others.

However, Ji Yunting used the excuse of visiting a friend to quickly find Cheng Kun.

"Minister Cheng, you'd better think of a solution!"

Ji Yunting said nervously.

Ultimately, the feud between him and Su Chen was something he started himself.

If Yan Zheng finds out, he will at least reprimand you, or at worst, confine you to your home or put you in solitary confinement.

"Young Master Ji, please calm down."

Cheng Kun quickly comforted Ji Yunting.

"Regardless of the truth, it is an indisputable fact that Su Chen broke your life-saving aura and killed so many members of the Vermilion Bird Clan."

"Even if we try to be polite first and then resort to force, shouldn't Master Yan still demand an explanation from Su Chen?"

"Given Su Chen's personality, he definitely won't compromise."

Upon hearing Cheng Kun's words, Ji Yunting's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"But we still need to think of something; we can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

"We don't have any good solutions yet, so we can only take it one step at a time."

Cheng Kun said helplessly.

"OK then."

Ji Yunting sighed.

……

After killing the members of Suzaku, Su Chen ordered a state of martial law.

In particular, at the Shicheng base in Beitu Province, Su Chen led a group of elite troops to take command, replacing Shen Yue, Shen Xing, and others.

However, several days passed without any sign of Zhuque.

Just when Su Chen thought that Zhuque was preparing some big move, his subordinates reported that a vehicle had arrived at the border.

The person in the car identified himself as Lu Benwei, the research director of Zhuque.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ordered them to pass.

Not long after, the car arrived in Shicheng.

When the car door opened, Su Chen indeed saw Lu Benwei's figure.

Following behind Lu Benwei were Zhan Wei, Crow, and Zhong Yage.

"Minister Lu, why did you come in person without giving us a heads-up?"

Su Chen stepped forward with a light laugh.

"It's been a long time since we last met, so I've come to pay a visit to Xiao Su."

Lu Benwei laughed.

He spoke politely, but Su Chen knew in his heart that this time it was probably something important.

as predicted.

After being led to the guest room by Su Chen and sitting down, Lu Benwei took the initiative to speak.

"Xiao Su, we're practically family, so I won't beat around the bush with you."

"I have come here with sincerity, hoping to resolve the grievances between the Watchers and Suzaku."

Su Chen smiled faintly.

"I welcome Minister Lu's visit."

"But the grudges between the Watchers and Suzaku are probably impossible to resolve."

Ultimately, Lu Benwei was just a minister in Zhuque.

If he could truly represent Suzaku, the two sides wouldn't have ended up like this.

Ultimately, the two sides are sworn enemies, constantly clashing, entirely because Suzaku considers itself superior and in control of the survivor organizations.

In the eyes of Wei An, Cheng Kun, and other high-ranking members of the Vermilion Bird Clan, other survivor organizations should obediently follow their arrangements and commands.

This idea might be correct before the end of the world.

But in a post-apocalyptic world where order has collapsed, this approach simply won't work.

After all, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Rubenwei sighed.

"Xiao Su, I know you're angry, but I have to tell you the truth."

"You must have heard Xiao Zhan and the others mention Dao Yi Men, right?"

"The leader of the Dao Yi Sect has sent his eldest disciple to investigate this matter."

"Although I don't know his strength, I estimate that he has at least A-level combat power."

"If he believes you're the problem, he'll kill you without hesitation!"

Su Chen remained unfazed, simply shaking his head slightly.

"I have only six words: If you want war, then I will fight!"

Seeing Su Chen's resolute attitude, Lu Benwei felt somewhat helpless.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Xiao Su, have everyone else leave first. I have something to discuss with you privately."

"Alright, you may all step aside."

Su Chen nodded to the others.

After everyone else had left, leaving only the two of them, Rubenwei said solemnly,

"Little Su, the power of the Dao Yi Sect is beyond your imagination..."

He gradually revealed the secrets of the Dao Yi Sect to Su Chen.

The existence of the Dao Yi Sect can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

At that time, a hundred schools of thought flourished, and everywhere there were cultivators seeking the Dao and cultivating immortality.

In order to compete for cultivation resources, they joined different countries, served their monarchs, and fought against each other.

In the end, the Qi cultivators of the Qin Dynasty prevailed, helping Qin to conquer the seven kingdoms and unify the world.

Unfortunately, the First Emperor was cruel by nature. After ascending the throne, he did not care for the people or allow them to recuperate.

On the contrary, excessive taxation and extortion led to widespread suffering among the people.

Under such circumstances, he even attempted to cultivate immortality.

Under these circumstances, Xu Fu, as the leader of all the Taoist sects in the land, used the excuse of seeking elixirs of immortality for the First Emperor to lead most of the Qi cultivators away into the distance.

Subsequently, all the Qi cultivators went into seclusion in a secret realm and established the Dao Yi Sect.

Since then, members of the Dao Yi Sect have only operated in secret.

For example, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who was known as the Son of Heaven, once received assistance from the Daoist sect.

During the battle between the two armies, the Dao Yi Sect made a sudden move.

The sky and earth changed color, sand and stones flew, and meteorites fell from the sky.

With the help of the Dao Yi Sect, Liu Xiu ultimately defeated the enemy and restored the Han Dynasty.

In addition, the Daoist sect was also present during the late Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"If the Dao Yi Sect has such a long history, why didn't they intervene in the war decades ago?"

Su Chen asked.

"I asked them about this as well, and their explanation was that as time goes by, the energy in the world, or in their words, the spiritual energy, becomes thinner, making cultivation increasingly difficult."

"If it is not necessary, the Dao Yi Sect is unwilling to easily enter the world."

"It wasn't until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that we made contact with the Dao Yi Sect and, with their help, established the Vermilion Bird Sect."

"Everything Zhuque has, including Xinggang City, is inseparable from the strong support of Dao Yi Sect."

Lu Benwei explained.

It turned out to be the case.

Su Chen suddenly understood, but then he was filled with doubt.

"Minister Lu, what exactly are you trying to say by telling me these secrets?"

"What I want to say is that the Dao Yi Sect has a profound foundation, which is beyond your imagination."

Lu Benwei gave a wry smile.

"Their sect leader's cultivation level, if measured by our combat strength, should be at the S-rank!"
