#691 - Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they treat all things as straw dogs

Just as someone had predicted, Liang Yue's return not only brought changes to his own Flowing Cloud Sect, but also led the disciples into a period of significant growth in strength.

Whether it was the older generation taking his elixirs and absorbing the water droplet energy, then hastily entering closed-door cultivation, or the newcomers within the sect who were making rapid progress under his guidance.

All of them faintly felt that the atmosphere within their own sect was undergoing a change.

In the past, the Flowing Cloud Sect seemed to uphold the atmosphere that a top-tier sect should have: solemn, serious, and generally inclined towards strictness and aloofness, as if even the air on Mount Tai Bai carried a hint of coldness.

Even though there were quite a few disciples in the sect, more than a thousand of them permanently stationed there, one still couldn't feel much vitality.

Now, after Liang Yue's return, this overall temperament suddenly changed, and unknowingly, it became much more relaxed and lively.

It was as if all the disciples now had a goal to strive for, and a sense of motivation brought about by a higher objective was prompting them to unleash a different kind of enthusiasm than before.

Even the daily routine of martial arts practice, cultivation, and even homework had begun to change.

It seemed as if a very subtle force was constantly being injected into the bodies of these disciples, filling their essence, energy, and spirit.

Making their cultivation as if aided by the divine, achieving twice the result with half the effort!

Even Liang Yue himself faintly noticed some changes, which made him become a little suspicious.

"Could it be that I also have the power to suppress luck?"

… …

Coincidentally, it wasn't just the internal affairs of the Flowing Cloud Sect that were affected by Liang Yue.

For some reason, even though he had never deliberately concealed anything, the news of his return still spread to all parts of China at an unusual speed.

Especially among the major forces in the world of the Others, not long after his appearance, they learned of this news through some special channels.

Inevitably, it also had a considerable impact.

On this day, just as Liang Yue was standing on a gate tower in the mountain gate, practicing calligraphy while observing the afternoon martial arts practice of the disciples below.

A disciple suddenly walked over quickly, holding a wooden invitation in his hand.

After hearing the disciple's report, Liang Yue frowned slightly, reached out to take it, glanced at the contents above, and then casually threw it aside.

Seeing this, Takashiro Saya on the other side curiously took it and looked at it, saying.

"Are they going to build a temple on our Mount Tai Bai?"

"Hmph, these bald donkeys, they weren't seen contributing during the war, but as soon as the world is stable, they start making trouble. Are they bullying my Heavenly Sect for being too kind in its usual actions?"

Xiao Zhao, who was next to him, also came over at this time, looked at the content on the post, curled her lips and said disdainfully.

"Xiao Wu, mark all the Buddhist temples and temples in the Tai Bai Mountain area for me."

Liang Yue also directly threw the pen in his hand at this time and ordered the intelligent brain Xiao Wu.

Soon, a detailed holographic topographic map of Mount Tai Bai appeared in front of him, including various peaks, valleys, vegetation, soil and other scenery.

Of course, it also included various historical buildings, as well as small villages and residential gathering places built in the mountains.

Those Buddhist temples and temples were also separately marked in bright red by Xiao Wu.

"Reporting master, there are a total of thirty-six Buddhist temples of various sizes on the entire Mount Tai Bai. According to some historical data collected by Xiao Wu, there are a total of eleven temples that existed before the founding of the country.

But for various reasons, they had previously moved out of the surrounding area of ​​Mount Tai Bai one after another. The current thirty-six were only established in the past few decades.

Most of them are temples built by ordinary monks, some are donations from local clans, and a small part are related to some forces in the world of the Others."

"A full thirty-six temples, really scattered and well-arranged, almost encircling my Flowing Cloud Sect along the entire Tai Bai Mountain, hehe~ a bit interesting."

Looking at the holographic image in front of him, Liang Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

It's just that there was a hint of awe-inspiring coldness in this smile.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Saya and Xiao Zhao immediately came over, looking at him with eager expressions.

Hearing this, Liang Yue didn't answer, but continued to ask the intelligent brain Xiao Wu.

"Apart from the one that is about to open the temple, did any of the other thirty-five come to ask us when they were built?"

"Reporting master, according to what Xiao Wu knows, there are no notification records."

"That is to say, they secretly ran over to insert a flag, and then started building temples and operating silently?"

Speaking of this, Liang Yue immediately folded his arms.

"Since that's the case, then it's easy to handle ~"

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Zhao was lying on Saya's shoulder at this time, and continued to ask from the side.

"Exterminate them all ~"

Liang Yue's answer was only these two words, his tone was calm, without any emotional color, just like drinking water and eating as usual.

"Thirty-six temples, wipe them all out? What will the official reaction be then? Will there be any trouble?"

Hearing his words, Saya-chan looked at him hesitantly.

"The affairs of the Otherworld naturally have a set of logic in the Otherworld. The authorities will only watch coldly, and even, to a certain extent, they will encourage the infighting of the Otherworld."

After all, it concerns the red line of population… …

"Didn't you say that some temples were built by ordinary people? Are those also going to be cleared away together?"

"Some things, there is no need to distinguish so clearly, since they had already moved away before the founding of the country, then there is no need for them to appear now."

… …

So, on the night of the same day, an extremely rare collective outbreak of landslides suddenly appeared in the surrounding area of ​​Mount Tai Bai… …

There was no sign of it beforehand ~

Afterwards, it didn't cause much waves ~

Except for some villagers nearby, who happened to hear a rumbling sound when they got up at night, thought it was an earthquake, and hurriedly called their family members to go out to avoid it, only the dogs in the village barked a few times.

It wasn't until the next morning, when some bolder people went up the mountain to find out the cause of the incident, that they suddenly discovered that the temples that used to be built on the mountains, ridges, or some sunny places with good feng shui had actually disappeared directly!

In the same place, the vegetation, rocks, and even the terrain have not changed much. Only those temples and the monks in the temples have disappeared.

This matter was soon reported to the top, which led to the investigation of some relevant people.

And the conclusion they finally came to was that it was a landslide ~

Then, this matter ended like this, even the original search and rescue were gone, and it was directly downplayed from the official level.

Even some of the nearby villagers were forbidden from approaching it for a period of time.

The reason given was that the terrain there was unstable, and there might be a possibility of subsequent aftershocks ~

In fact, for some people who really know what's going on, the cause of this incident is actually very clear.

Because Liang Yue didn't intend to hide anyone from the beginning.

Even, in response to the original site of the temple that sent him the invitation to invite the people of the Heavenly Sect to attend the opening ceremony, Liang Yue also specially created a stone cliff dozens of feet high.

And he personally wrote a line of eye-catching inscription on it.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as straw dogs ~"
