"Junior brother, although training is beneficial, it is just training. Life and death can happen at any time. If you don't kill him, he will find a chance to take your life. The law of the jungle is just like this. There is no such thing as good or bad, only whether it is worth it."
Just as Li Yan was shocked, Wen Xinliang's voice slowly came over.
After hearing this, Li Yan slowly came back to his senses and nodded, but still asked.
"Fifth Senior Brother, if we do this, aren't we afraid that other sects will keep an eye on us?"
"Huh, thinking about you? Junior brother, you have to understand one thing. The moment you step out of the sect, you are already in a position where others can attack you at any time. It's just that the closer you are to the sect, the less likely you are to encounter such a thing.
In the Shiwan Mountains, there are cultivators from various forces. Although the Shiwan Mountains belong to the Wuliang Sect, there are also many cultivators from first-rate, second-rate, and even small sects in the areas under the jurisdiction of the other three sects.
Just like the "Gray Sky" under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Shibu Academy, the "Blue Sea and Sand" ruled by the Southern Taixuan Sect, and the "Northern Ming Demon Suppression Tower" of the Northern Pure Land Sect, disciples from every sect can go there to train, including us.
It’s just that each other’s core areas are inaccessible, just like the core restricted area in the Ten Thousand Mountains, which has been sealed and banned by our sect’s Nascent Soul ancestor, and only the disciples of the Wuliang Sect can enter.
In the Ten Thousand Mountains, the monks from the four major sects killed each other every day after they met. However, as long as you kill them all, leaving no one alive, and destroying the evidence, all the sects will agree to it.
As for foundation-building cultivators like us, even if the sect knows who killed us, usually the sect will not ask about it. After all, for the four major sects, foundation-building disciples are just low-level cultivators who are slightly higher than entry-level disciples.
In addition, all cultivators other than those from the four major sects are people harboring evil intentions.
Don't think that just because you were born in the Wuliang Sect, you can rest easy unless you meet any cultivators other than those from the Shibuyuan, Taixuan Sect, and the Pure Land Sect. If you think so, you will be not far from death.
Even if you meet monks from the Wuliang Sect there, you must be extra careful. They may be respectful to you one moment, but the moment they turn around, they may attack you directly.
The reason is that the cultivators coming out of the Wuliang Sect must be wealthy, and have far more resources than the cultivators from small sects.
At the same time, many of the small sects or immortal cultivation families under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect are secret agents of the Shibuyuan, Taixuan Sect, and the Pure Land Sect. How could they let us go if they have the chance
By the same token, we also have secret agents within the sphere of influence of their three sects. This is something that everyone knows, but these secret agents have not reached the point of threatening the sect, so everyone turns a blind eye.
Otherwise, if you kill one family, he will win over another and you will keep killing them all."
After Wen Xinliang said a lot in one breath, he stopped talking and looked at Li Yan meaningfully.
Li Yan had been listening quietly. At this time, he had already understood Wen Xinliang's intention. Seeing Fifth Brother looking at him, Li Yan took a breath, then bowed deeply to Wen Xinliang seriously.
His salute startled Lin Daqiao who was standing next to him, but Lin Daqiao was also a smart person. After thinking about it for a while, she understood what was going on and stood aside, looking at the two of them with a smile.
When Wen Xinliang saw Li Yan's gift to him, he changed his usual ruffian attitude, put away his frivolous look, and accepted the gift.
Although Li Yan will be given instructions by his master or other senior brothers and sisters when he goes out for training in the future, he said these things today when he left the sect, and there is this sentiment in it. If they are not fellow brothers, who will care what happens when you go out
After listening to Wen Xinliang's words, Li Yan realized that his previous thoughts had been seen through by his fifth senior brother, who believed that training was a good place to collect resources. If he really held on to that idea, he would not be far from death.
So he asked Lin Daqiao to take out the storage bag and told her about the ruthlessness and bloodshed in the world of immortal cultivation. He said that because of his carelessness, he would end up like the owners of the storage bags on Lin Daqiao's waists.
He sees Lin Daqiao and others who are successful today. Maybe one day, everything in front of them will only become a memory and a topic of conversation in the eyes of others.
At the same time, Li Yan also heard several other meanings in Wen Xinliang's words. It seemed that this was also revealed to him by Wen Xinliang on purpose.
First, among the other three major sects, there are also training places similar to the Wuliang Sect in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I think that place is also extremely dangerous, with life and death uncertain;
Secondly, the core areas of such training places are extremely secluded places. They are places for the core disciples of the sect to practice or train, and cultivators outside the sect are not allowed to enter.
Wen Xinliang did not elaborate on this, thinking that it might involve some of the sect's secrets and it was inconvenient to speak directly.
Third, if you meet an enemy outside, don’t fight back, but once you do, you must kill the enemy without leaving any trace;
Fourthly, even in the western part of the Desolate Moon Continent which is under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect, one must be careful everywhere. On the surface, those sects under its jurisdiction may seem to be respectful to the Wuliang Sect, but their hearts are different and they are smiling but hiding daggers.
It is estimated that except for the top leaders of the Wuliang Sect, no one knows who are the real members of the Wuliang Sect and who are the secret agents planted by others. Once you step in alone, it is estimated that in the end not even a bone will be left.
What Wen Xinliang told him was not just about training matters, but also pointed out many things that Li Yan had never known. Every one of these words could save Li Yan countless times when he went out alone in the future.
Li Yan is such a smart person, of course he knows the key points, so he is very grateful for the gift.
After knowing how bloody the training was, Li Yan no longer cared about the generous rewards from Lin Daqiao and the others. Everything was earned at the cost of their lives. If one counted their lives, this little gain was nothing.
Seeing that Li Yan's expression had recovered and the excitement in his eyes had disappeared, Wen Xinliang nodded. Some of what he said just now was common sense, and some was the experience he had gained at the cost of his life. After experiencing several near-death experiences, some things had been deeply rooted in his bones. They were truly life-saving words.
Immortal cultivators are, of course, more ruthless and ruthless when it comes to killing people than ordinary people. Wen Xinliang was relieved to see that this junior fellow disciple had an undisguised calmness in his eyes after hearing it for the first time.
Wen Xinliang knew that when Lin Daqiao had just established her foundation, she went out with her sixth junior sister Gong Chenying. Gong Chenying also said some things to Lin Daqiao, but Lin Daqiao did not take them to heart at that time.
Afterwards, although Gong Chenying took care of her all the time, there was still an incident when Lin Daqiao almost died at the hands of a cultivator from a small sect, which was under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect.
When they saw Gong Chenying and Lin Daqiao's team of four, they were respectful and humble even though they were far away, and even seemed to give way to them. However, Gong Chenying and two other monks from the Wuliang Sect who often went out saw the problem at a glance.
There were seven monks from that small sect. Although they were respectful in their attitude, their hands seemed to be hanging near the storage bags at their waists. There was a flash of coldness in the smiles in their eyes.
Lin Daqiao was unaware of all this. He was still immersed in the pride of being respected. When they were only about twenty feet away from the seven men, the seven men suddenly launched a violent attack.
Lin Daqiao was kicked away by Gong Chenying at the first moment, and the place where Lin Daqiao had stood before was blasted into a seven-foot-deep pit.
Although Gong Chenying and his men wiped out all seven of the other side afterwards, Lin Daqiao was also very scared. From then on, he no longer felt that the monks of the Wuliang Sect were so great. If he was not careful, he would die like a wild dog.
Seeing that Li Yan knew about it, Wen Xinliang didn't say any more about it. After flying for another half an incense stick, Li Yan couldn't help but show a look of vigilance as he looked at the gradually increasing number of cultivators on both sides.
Seeing his look, Wen Xinliang and Lin Daqiao looked at each other and both smiled.
In fact, this place is almost close to the market town. According to the regulations of the market town, fighting is not allowed within a hundred miles of the market town. Otherwise, the Jindan monks in charge of the market town will take action to stop it, or even kill them directly.
And they have already entered this range, but neither of them pointed it out, which made Li Yan more alert, which was not a bad thing. After these cultivators appeared, they still kept a long distance between each other.
Looking at the more and more monks around him, Li Yan asked.
"Brother, these monks are heading in the same direction. Are they all heading to the market?"
"You are right. These monks are heading to the market to trade."
This time it was Lin Daqiao who spoke.
Li Yan nodded after hearing this, which was consistent with his judgment. At this moment, Lin Daqiao's voice came again, but the content made Li Yan startled.
"Oh, by the way, Junior Brother, you have been in the sect recently. Do you know the result of your last trip to the secret realm? I heard that the cultivators from the three sects including Shibuyuan who were detained in the secret realm have returned to their respective sects a month ago. Do you know about this, Junior Brother?"
Li Yan knew that Lin Daqiao had a wide network of contacts in the sect, but he never expected that she was so well-informed. He had not contacted other brothers and sisters since he went into seclusion, so he really didn't know anything about this news.
Although, he had just met Zhao Min some time ago, he did not talk about these things. Lin Daqiao only knew the news when she came back last night.
"Oh? The demon cultivators in the secret realm let them go? I think they must have paid a heavy price."
Li Yan had participated in the secret realm trial and was still very curious about the final result.
“I heard that the three sects paid nearly a thousand fourth-grade primary pills and ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones respectively, and the matter was finally settled.
Although my sect did not have any hostages, somehow, the three sects each gave my sect a batch of spirit stones and refining materials. Although I heard that the amount was not too much, it was strange that they still gave compensation. "
When Lin Daqiao said this, a strange expression appeared on her face.
Li Yan was also a little surprised after hearing this. You know, although the Wuliang Sect was attacked by the three sects, overall, not only did it not suffer any loss, but it also received the greatest reward in the end.
That is, the Wuliang Sect has reason to ask the three sects for compensation. The three sects have already formed an alliance under the premise that they are in the wrong. It would be a disadvantage for the Wuliang Sect to fight against the three sects alone.
At that time, the three sects agreed on the surface but kept dragging their feet and the Wuliang Sect was also helpless, so it was still surprising that there was such a result in the end.
Moreover, although the things the demon cultivators in the secret realm asked for seemed to be a lot, the hundreds of deaths of demon cultivators and the losses caused were not something that could be solved with just these few things. It seemed that all parties wanted to end the matter quickly.
“I also heard about this from a disciple of Laojun Peak. It seems to be related to the cracks in Yinmo Cliff, otherwise the demon cultivators in the secret realm would not agree to settle the matter so easily.
However, our ancestor used the cracks in the Yin Demon Cliff as an excuse to threaten us and demanded some compensation, so the three sects finally agreed. "
At this time, Wen Xinliang spoke lightly from the side.
