Chapter 101 Dao Alliance
A gigantic tree swayed and grew, blocking out the sky. Five phoenixes landed on the branches to rest and preen their feathers. They looked vivid, and their golden patterns turned into auspicious clouds and nestled against the giant tree.

After Xijing signaled, Gu Qingyuan landed and the scene in the sky slowly disappeared.

He followed Xi Jing to burn incense, pay respect to heaven and earth, and worship in all directions.

Second, respect the Tao and honor the predecessors.

Three respects to the Heavenly Venerable, expressing gratitude for the grace of passing on the Dharma.

After three respects, the ceremony ends.

As the ceremony came to an end, the faces of the monks who had been watching silently became solemn.

Xi Jing ordered his men to remove the altar and settle the younger family members brought by Zifu elsewhere. Only a group of Zifu monks were left on the bare platform.

He smiled and said, "There should be a lecture and discussion, but I am afraid that you can't wait, so I will skip it for now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Everyone burst into laughter and said there was no rush, but they knew in their hearts why they came.

"I believe that you all came here because you have heard the news. There is no need for me to elaborate. To make a long story short, I want to activate the demon-slaying order." Xi Jing motioned for Gu Qingyuan to sit down with him and spoke casually.

More than a hundred Purple Mansions were arranged in an orderly manner, with the Sanshang Sect in the front and the miscellaneous Purple Mansions in the back. After hearing what Xi Jing said, they all had their own ways. They had deduced the reasons behind it countless times, so they were not surprised.

"We know about the blood mutation, and we have killed many monsters. Has it really come to this?" said Shuliu Zhenjun, the leader of Piaomiao Sect.

Xi Jing snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth. You know the situation clearly."

He spread out his hands, and a blood-colored token appeared on his palm, with the word "slaughter" written on it in talismans. As soon as it appeared, a strong smell of blood hit his nose.

"This time is no small matter, I want to kill all the demon cultivators!"

The crowd was in an uproar. The Demon-Slaying Order was issued only once every few hundred years. Demons must be killed, but there were ways to kill them. The rare ones and the young ones should be kept, and sustainable development was the key. After all, some spiritual objects and bones had to be collected from the bodies of demon cultivators.

What's more, the sect leader is mainly engaged in animal taming, raising monsters and trading spirit bones. Once Xi Jing said this, it was like ruining a good business.

"Master Xijing, you can't do that. You can't kill them all!"

"Why is this happening? My sect relies on monsters to exchange for resources. What should I do if they kill them all?"

All kinds of things were said at once, but Xi Jing just watched coldly because the main character hadn't spoken yet.

"Ahem," Shu Liu coughed twice, as if a leader who was about to give a speech on stage tested the microphone, and the people below stopped talking.

"Master Xijing's words are too much. I don't agree with them."

This statement drew a wave of approval.

"If you don't kill him, I, the Taoist master, will do it myself. I'll see who dares to stop me!" Xi Jing was extremely arrogant, but his subordinates fell for it and their voices became much quieter.

砰

Jing Sheng slammed the table and said, "I disagree. The matter of alienation is a big deal, but it is also a small matter. We cannot act like this based on unfounded speculation."

Xijing and he exchanged sharp words, but Shuliu was calm and composed, and only offered a few words of advice when the argument got too intense.

"This Purple Mansion meeting is truly... a return to basics."

Gu Qingyuan looked at the lively scene. The group of people had no composure at all. They slammed the table and glared, almost throwing shoes.

He looked at Xijing and Shuliu.

"That should be about the right time."

Sure enough, just when Jing Sheng was about to draw his sword angrily, Shu Liu spoke up: "Okay, okay, both sect leaders calm down. It's useless to keep arguing like this. Why don't you listen to what the old Taoist says?" "Master Shu Liu is an old and serious person. He will definitely make a decision. Xijing, please listen carefully." Xijing said.

Jingsheng also waved his sleeves, snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"If you ask me, this matter concerns the country of the human race, and we must be on guard. Although it has not yet reached a critical moment, preparation is the key to success, and failure to prepare will lead to failure. Sect Master Xijing, please stop talking about killing us all. Sect Master Jingsheng, Xijing is also dedicated to the public, so please control your temper."

"In my opinion, we must kill, but we need to set a rule. If we kill too ruthlessly, we will inevitably suffer a lot of losses. It is better to set a rule and allocate some quotas according to the size of the sect. Those who have a quota will not be killed. Those who don't have a quota, hehe, please take up your weapons."

As soon as these words came out, Xi Jing gave them a way out. He smiled and said, "Why don't we follow Master Shuliu's method and draw up some rules?"

Jing Sheng's face was still livid as he stared at the two of them.

Shu Liu pretended not to see it: "Since Xi Jing has explained it clearly, let's vote by raising our hands. I will naturally cast a vote for what I proposed."

"I agree too." Xi Jing raised his hand, and then Zifu, who belonged to the two factions, followed and expressed his agreement.

Jing Sheng had no idea that the two had secretly joined forces, but he couldn't say anything as they continued to fight and defend.

The voting went smoothly, and there were enough people registered to fill the quota of the demon clan.

"The window theory is indeed worthy of its reputation. I don't agree to kill them all, but I agree if I can keep some monsters."

Gu Qingyuan threw the token in his hand. This token was called the Peace and Trouble Token. Whoever received it would be able to save his life.

"We still need to send this sign back to Qingxi Mountain. I just don't know what Master Xijing gave to Shuliu to facilitate this powerful alliance."

Li Tong is also a demon cultivator. Gu Qingyuan has not forgotten the favor of giving him pears. He also has some connection with the three demons of Qingxi Mountain, so this sign can be used just right.

With the alliance between Da Dao Temple and Piao Miao Sect, there was no doubt about the election of the leader. Xi Jing accepted the position of leader and was in charge of eliminating monsters. He also requested to change the name of the book to Yi Qi Dao Meng.

With the Sanshang Sect taking the lead, even if it controlled most of the cultivation world, all sects contributed manpower and effort, and received tokens for killing demon cultivators, which were divided into four levels: Tiandi Xuanhuang. The heads of demon cultivators could be exchanged for military merits, and with the military merits, they could go to the Yiqidao League stronghold to exchange for cultivation resources and magical powers. The higher the level, the better the resources that could be exchanged.

This was proposed by Gu Qingyuan, and it was a summary of his experience in his previous life. Once it was proposed, it was recognized by Zifu. Zifu was so experienced that he immediately brought forth new ideas.

For example, the basics of a technique is set at the Yellow Level, the advanced techniques are hidden at the Mysterious Level, and the perfect technique is set at the Earth Level. If you want to get a complete technique, you can only kill more monsters, especially big monsters.

There are so many things like this that Gu Qingyuan sighed: It would be a waste of talent for these Zifu people if they didn’t go back to their previous lives to be game planners.

With the order to slay monsters in front and the motivation of skills and resources behind, monsters were killed in large numbers in a short time, and blood was boiling. Countless young geniuses soared to the sky and made a great name by slaying monsters.

The demon cultivators in the world had no place to stand, and they tried every means to save their lives and hide, either going into the mountains or taking refuge in the forests, to avoid the demon killers' search throughout the world.

It also blew up several Purple Mansion demon cultivators, who had been hiding for who knows how many years. Fortunately, the Purple Mansion of humanity was monitoring it at all times, and the demon-killing token also had the ability to record, transmit sound, and project. Once discovered, the nearby Purple Mansions would be dispatched to kill the demon cultivators.

Two fists are no match for four hands. If a Purple Mansion demon cultivator cannot run away in time and is held back by others, he will have to be surrounded by more and more authentic Purple Mansion demons, held back, killed, and have his treasures divided. This whole process goes smoothly and fills the Purple Mansion's pockets.

Just three months into the demon-killing operation, strange phenomena occurred, causing an uproar.

Gu Qingyuan walked out of the mansion and saw the disciples coming and going in a hurry, with a trace of panic on their faces that could not be concealed.

He sighed deeply and thought:
"I didn't expect it to come so soon. It's a troubled time, a catastrophe is imminent!"

Gu Qingyuan looked up at the sky, only to see gray clouds rolling in the sky, making even the sunlight a little dim.

He was very familiar with the scene above his head. He had seen it every day since he had modified the flowing cloud pattern. It was the calamity cloud that should not be observed by human eyes.

In the 127th year of the Immortal Calendar, there was a sudden change in the sky, and calamity clouds descended, covering the sky and the sun.
