Chapter 641 - 741: Lightning Guerrilla Warfare
"Do you know the origin of that organization?" Tian Chu Zhenren said. Since Ye Tianfan wanted to join this war, he had to tell him, let Ye Tianfan know the source of this organization, and let him know the ferocity of this organization.
"No? I don't know?" Ye Tianfan looked at Tian Chu Zhenren in confusion, then waited for Tian Chu Zhenren's introduction.
"That organization, ah, it's called The Beautiful Future!" Tian Chu Zhenren mentioned a name that Ye Tianfan would never have imagined!
"The Beautiful Future?" Ye Tianfan said in confusion, feeling that the name of this organization didn't quite fit the scene, and everything this organization did had nothing to do with a beautiful future; it was entirely about destroying the future!
"This organization appeared five hundred years ago!" Tian Chu Zhenren spoke again.
"Five hundred years ago?" Ye Tianfan was immensely shocked in his heart. An organization that appeared five hundred years ago has now developed so large, but he did not interrupt Tian Chu Zhenren and continued listening to him.
"That event was incredibly tragic, although we achieved victory in the end, it was a devastating defeat. At that time, in the righteous path, there were six major sects, while the demonic path had four major sects. It was a period when cultivators were at their peak." Tian Chu Zhenren fell into reminiscing as he spoke!
"Six major sects? Four major sects?" Ye Tianfan was completely shocked this time. The concept of six major sects and four major sects was astounding. Now there are only three major righteous sects left since the Celestial Fragrance Sect has been exterminated, and the Demon Sect doesn't have four major sects, just a single Demon Sect. The current cultivation world is already quite prosperous; although Ye Tianfan never calculated the specific number of cultivators, he feels that the cultivation world today is already flourishing.
Just the Taichu Sect alone has over ten thousand cultivators, and it's unknown how many other sects have. However, as his senior brothers mentioned, it seems that smaller sects recruit more people because they believe that among so many people, there will always be a genius. As long as they recruit an extraordinary genius, their sect can take off.
Moreover, there are countless righteous sects, with dozens of well-known major sects. As for unknown minor sects, they are innumerable. The same goes for the demonic path, with only a few known sects, and the rest being unknown minor sects.
Therefore, with such a large number of people, Ye Tianfan thinks it is indeed very prosperous. Even though those minor sects have to expel at least 99.9% of their people each year because they cannot even feel the qi, staying only means eating without contributing.
With things as they are now, how prosperous was it five hundred years ago? Ye Tianfan couldn't even imagine it.
"Suddenly, on a certain day, the whole world changed dramatically, and out of nowhere, a group of people with various demon beast traits emerged and began a brutal slaughter against both the righteous and demonic paths at that time," Tian Chu Zhenren started to say.
Ye Tianfan knew that these people with various demon beast traits were the experimental humans developed by that organization.
"At that time, all the cultivators in the world did not react at all, as they just thought it was simply an opposing force attacking. The righteous path thought it was the demonic sects waging war against them, while the demonic sect people thought these were new demon beasts researched by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect attacking them to test their strength, considering the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had such a record. It wasn't until the Sun and Moon Divine Sect of the demonic path's four major sects was exterminated overnight that it caught the attention of all cultivators in the world. It was at this moment they realized it wasn't the enemy as they thought, but a third-party force waging war against both the righteous and demonic paths!" Tian Chu Zhenren said with narrowed eyes.
This should have been a very serious matter, but Ye Tianfan didn't know why he could not help but want to laugh. When he heard Tian Chu Zhenren say that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had a record, he almost couldn't hold it in. However, to prevent himself from laughing out loud in front of Tian Chu Zhenren, he pinched his own thigh tightly to hold back the laughter!
"However, by the time those sects reacted, it was already a bit late. Those monsters had surrounded all the sects in the world, completely cutting off the sects' supplies. They only besieged but didn't kill and often harassed those sects, making the people there exhausted and miserable. Afterward, all the sects began to fight against them to annihilate them and free themselves," Tian Chu Zhenren said.
Hearing this, Ye Tianfan thought and pondered for a long time before a flash of inspiration crossed his mind as he recalled guerrilla tactics, a kind of specialized cavalry in the previous world. Their combat tactics were very powerful, which could be applied now.
"Then, the entire cultivation world was engulfed in a slaughter that affected all sects, and that slaughter lasted for a whole three years. After three years of slaughter, only four major righteous sects were left, including the Celestial Fragrance Sect, among the six major righteous sects. As for the other two, they were annihilated during the slaughter. Although the Celestial Fragrance Sect survived that time, it was the first to be annihilated this time!" Tian Chu Zhenren said with some regret.
It's worth knowing that the relationship between Tian Taichu Sect and the Celestial Fragrance Sect was quite good. After all, the Celestial Fragrance Sect and the Goodness Sect were both eternal number twos. They were somewhat adversarial, but towards the first Taichu Sect that left them several miles behind, they were still friendly and maintained a good relationship.
When Tian Chu Zhenren was young, he and the disciples from the six major sects at the time formed a small alliance called the Demon-slaying Alliance during their training. At that time, they were in high spirits, taking demon slaying and saving ordinary people as their duty, earning much praise.
But after the training ended, they disbanded the alliance, with an agreement that as long as there were demons to slay, the Demon-slaying Alliance would regroup at any time.
But unfortunately, over the next hundred years, due to various reasons, only Tian Chu Zhenren and a disciple from the Celestial Fragrance Sect were still alive out of the six. The others all passed away due to various accidents.
In the end, Tian Chu Zhenren became the head of the Tai Huo Peak of the Taichu Sect, and that disciple from the Celestial Fragrance Sect became an elder of the Celestial Fragrance Sect. Although they wouldn't meet each other for decades or even a hundred years, the friendship between Tian Chu Zhenren and that elder did not diminish.
But now the situation has changed so much, and the news came too suddenly. Even if Tian Chu Zhenren wanted to aid in the rescue, it was too late; going now would only be giving away his life!
