Chapter 237: Endless Turmoil
With the complete demise of the Three Saints of Daxia, the statues in the temples dedicated to the three saints in various places in the mortal world were broken at the same time.
Seeing such a change, many ministers or people who were still loyal to Daxia suddenly started to cry and groan as if the sky had fallen.
For them, the Three Saints of Daxia were the last hope. In the past, when the statues were intact, even if the three saints could not show their sainthood, they always had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
But now, with the statues broken, the last glimmer of hope in their hearts also dissipated...
In Xiangzhou, Southwest China, the news that the statues of the Three Saints of Daxia were broken was heard by King Mu, the local emperor of the southwest.
The shocking battle that broke out in the Floating Corpse Cave yesterday already frightened King Mu, and now the broken statues of the Three Saints of Daxia made him worry and unable to sleep.
It is true that he wants to fight for the world, but he cares more about his life and wealth.
The struggle between him and King Li is essentially a fight for the orthodoxy of Daxia, but that is based on the premise that the three saints are still there, and they still have three huge backers behind them.
Now the three great backers have collapsed. Without these three saints, what is the difference between these Great Xia vassal kings and those rebels who started a rebellion?
"Your Majesty, I have already found out what happened yesterday. What can be confirmed is that the floating corpse cave has been destroyed, and the former southwest sect, the Corpse King Sect, has now completely disappeared!"
In the Mu Palace, a white-faced, beardless, and rather feminine man knelt down in front of Mu Wang and told him the news he had found out.
"Was it really the Monkey King who took action yesterday?"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Mu Wang, who was also middle-aged, could not help but tremble his clenched hands, and then confirmed with his subordinates again.
"Reporting to the king, it is true!"
"Yesterday, three beings comparable to saints took action. According to what I know, two of them should belong to the Monkey King."
"In addition, the news from Jiangzhou is the same. Yesterday, Jiangzhou showed a strange phenomenon of two suns in the sky. There is only one person in Jiangzhou who can have such power!"
Hearing King Mu's question, the white-faced and beardless man immediately answered him.
"Huh~ I already know! You can leave first!"
"Yes! I'll take my leave!"
When the man left, King Mu, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly became complicated.
Yesterday, the sky and the earth suddenly became dim, and the unspeakable fear penetrated into his bones. Then, the tragic scene of corpses and blood really scared him.
"The three ancestors are in trouble now. The only way now is to do our best to befriend the Monkey King!"
With a change of his eyes, King Mu quickly made a decision in his heart. Since the three biggest backers have collapsed, if he wants to keep his power and even go further, he must find a new backer.
"Come here!"
"Yes!"
"Take out all the treasures in the treasury, and immediately arrange for people to send them to Xinglongling in Jiangzhou, saying that this is a small gift from the king!"
After pondering for a while, King Mu gave orders to his subordinates waiting outside the house.
Now he has begun to feel fortunate for his wise choice at the beginning, and to support the governor of Jiangzhou in time. No matter what, he has established a relationship with this saint.
"Subordinates obey orders!"
The people outside the house immediately understood the deep meaning of what he said, and immediately began to make arrangements.

The next day, the statue of the Five Blessings God in the incense building of the incense temple suddenly released a series of light when the people burned incense and worshipped. Such a spectacle seemed to be a manifestation of the gods.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, the believers who came to worship immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the statue.
These believers looked crazy, and they kept shouting "The Five Blessings God Appeared", "The Blessings of the Gods", "The Blessings of the Gods" and so on.
At the same time, the news was also spreading wildly in the state controlled by King Li. The civilians who got the news immediately rushed to the temple in groups to burn incense and pray.
It seemed that as long as they burned incense and worshipped the gods in this way, they would be able to have a better life and future...
Mingzhou, King Li's Mansion.
"Bang!"
"Waste! All of them are waste!"
"Jiangzhou dare not touch! Linzhou is difficult to take!"
"What use is there for me to wait for you?!"
"..."
At this time, King Li was angry. Since he raised his army and started his eastward movement, he has been blocked. The various strange phenomena that have occurred in the past two days have made him feel an inexplicable sense of fear.
Others don't know that he can't be unaware that he can have the current power basically relying on the help of the incense temple.
But as time goes by, he has gradually discovered that there is something wrong with the actions of the incense temple. During this period of time, the people in the state under his command gradually began to stop working and indulge in praying to the gods and burning incense all day long.
At first, he didn't think there was anything, but as time went on, even if he was stupid, he gradually began to understand that if he continued like this, the final outcome would definitely be self-destruction.
But he was powerless to change the Xiang Temple's approach. The only way to survive was to continue to expand outward, hoping to take more territory to replenish his own consumption.
Unfortunately, several large-scale attacks ultimately failed, and his own side continued to lose soldiers and generals, and its strength gradually began to be severely damaged.
How could he not be anxious and angry?
——————
Lin Feng also noticed the special situation in the incense building through the corpse collectors distributed in various places.
"The incense temple made such a big commotion this time? Could it be that the incense master has escaped?"
It is not surprising that he would guess this way. Since he learned through various channels that the incense master was fighting with the Three Saints of Daxia in the netherworld, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
It's not that he doesn't believe that the Three Saints of Daxia will eventually win, but the incense master's method hit the three saints of Daxia from the beginning.
They themselves had their own strength regressed because of the fusion of the strange prison to suppress the strange prison, and finally they were completely isolated from the entire Daxia Dynasty under the calculation of the incense master.
Even if Lin Feng didn't know the specific battle process, he could understand that the incense master would never fail easily with so many methods prepared.
Now it seems that his guess has come true, but I don't know what kind of waves the incense master will stir up after returning victoriously?
"The situation in the east will probably change dramatically. Can I deal with the incense master who can defeat the three saints of Daxia now?"
Lin Feng learned a lot of secret information from hundreds of years ago by checking the memory of the corpse master.
The corpse master was unable to defeat the three saints of Daxia in his heyday, but the incense master was able to do this, which is enough to show that the incense master's strength is stronger than the corpse master.
"But I am not the same person as before. I currently have three robbery ghosts and that sword in my hand..."
Thinking of the broken sword, Lin Feng couldn't help but frowned. Although he had successfully suppressed the sword, how to use it was always a problem.
After research, Lin Feng now has some understanding of the sword. In essence, it is a more powerful and special ghost weapon.
It has the ultimate sharpness and the ability to turn the surrounding things into gray mist, but in addition to these two characteristics, there is another point that this broken sword seems to have its own consciousness!
Otherwise, this thing would not be able to attack autonomously, and it would be able to fight back and forth with him.
So this is the trouble. If you want to use this sword, you must tame it completely. Otherwise, it will become a bomb in your hand sooner or later!
