At this moment, Cangjian Mountain Villa naturally received this news, which made the people of Cangjian Mountain Villa feel somewhat absurd! As a longstanding sect, even Daoist and Buddhist Dualism needed to give Cangjian Mountain Villa some face. However, Manichaeism had completely torn apart Cangjian Mountain Villa's reputation, even going so far as to raise the banner of destroying Cangjian Mountain Villa.
How ridiculous this was! Normally, a giant elephant would not pay attention to the ants on the ground, but if the ants were reckless and arrogant, attempting to provoke the elephant's majesty, the elephant would not hesitate to stomp down hard a few times to demonstrate its power.
"Ha! Our Cangjian Mountain Villa has stood for thousands of years; what storms have we not weathered? Let alone a mere Manichaeism!"
"At its peak, Manichaeism had only one Yang God Realm expert. Although it shows signs of revival now, since it does not know its place, we need not hold back any longer; we can strike directly!"
"That Jiang Han from Manichaeism has repeatedly embarrassed our Cangjian Mountain Villa. We might as well take this opportunity to thoroughly deal with Mingjiao and make sure Jiang Han suffers greatly!"
The Transcendence Realm stewards and Fusion Realm elders of Cangjian Mountain Villa spoke up one after another, their words full of confidence. Faced with the aggressive army of Manichaeism, they did not take it seriously at all, as if they could extinguish it with a snap of their fingers.
This confidence stemmed from their strength. The more they understood about Cangjian Mountain Villa, the more assured they felt! Looking back through history, which sect could truly match Cangjian Mountain Villa? It was either Daoist and Buddhist Dualism or Demon Path Leader!
Moreover, before the rise of Moon Worship Sect and Ye Shaonan, Demonic Path had never been taken seriously by Cangjian Mountain Villa either. The true rival of Cangjian Mountain Villa had always been one: the Yijian Sect, known as the mad sect!
This sect had few disciples, but each one was an elite. When compared to other elite disciples of similar standing in the martial world, they could still take on two opponents at once. This was a sect deeply devoted to emotions and loyalty to the sword, almost to an extreme, solely seeking immense power!
Throughout thousands of years of history, Yijian Sect had never truly defeated Cangjian Mountain Villa but had always held the qualification to compete with it. Even Cangjian Mountain Villa did not want to provoke this major sword sect unnecessarily for fear that it might suddenly go mad and drag Cangjian Mountain Villa down with it!
However, today’s glory of Yijian Sect had become a thing of the past. Even though some older figures from the sect claimed that Yijian Sect was formidable, the current generation of warriors from Cangjian Mountain Villa who had not experienced the "One Sword from the West" era did not take it seriously at all and even looked down upon it somewhat!
After all, compared to Cangjian Mountain Villa, the current Yijian Sect is merely a few cats and dogs. If it weren't for Meng Changqing supporting them, the Yijian Sect's reputation would have likely collapsed long ago!
Looking at the spirited deacons and elders, the few Youngshen Realm experts sitting at the top frowned slightly, clearly feeling uneasy in their hearts. They sensed a kind of discomfort, an ominous feeling.
Experts in the Youngshen Realm are generally very sensitive to crises; this feeling is often referred to as a whim. Even among the sect's higher-ups, who are extremely powerful within the Youngshen Realm, they naturally sensed that something was amiss.
However, their perception of this whim was somewhat vague, and they couldn't pinpoint its source. Logically speaking, a single Manichaeism should not be able to truly shake the millennia-old foundation of Cangjian Mountain Villa or threaten its dominance in Qingzhou.
In fact, if it weren't for the unusual circumstances, these Youngshen Realm experts from Cangjian Mountain Villa would have wanted to consult a few Divination Masters to see where the problem lay.
Yet after much contemplation, they still couldn't figure out which faction was plotting against Cangjian Mountain Villa, which left them feeling so unsettled.
These Youngshen Realm experts appeared calm on the surface as they listened to the discussions below, but secretly they were communicating with each other through sound transmission, expressing their concerns.
After exchanging thoughts, they further confirmed their suspicions and became increasingly vigilant. One of the Youngshen experts said, "Logically speaking, there are very few sects or families in the entire martial world that can shake our Cangjian Mountain Villa's strength. Unless Daoist and Buddhist Dualism makes a full effort, otherwise..."
"It shouldn't be. Although our Cangjian Mountain Villa has never had much interaction with Daoism and Buddhism, we are both Prestigious Sects and shouldn't go this far."
"Could it be that Xichu Moon Worship Sect is making a move? If Ye Shaonan personally comes to Qingzhou, it might make sense. This person is hailed as the number one in Demonic Path; he is certainly not just a name..."
"The Moon Worship Sect is being watched by Dragon Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion. Not to mention anything else, Ye Shaonan absolutely has no opportunity to act; Celestial Master won't stand idly by and let that Demonic Path supreme run wild!"
As the leading sect among the Five Sword-Holding Sects, Cangjian Mountain Villa possesses incredible strength and deep foundations. There are very few who could shake Cangjian Mountain Villa in the martial world. But would those sects with such power attack Cangjian Mountain Villa for no reason?
As the saying goes, No Profit, No Move. What benefits could those hidden figures gain by targeting Cangjian Mountain Villa? What reasons could compel them to take action?
It must be understood that once you provoke Cangjian Mountain Villa, you should unleash your true power. In a situation where both sides are determined to fight to the death, even the Daoist and Buddhist Dualism will not have an easy time! Moreover, if the righteous sects choose to act against Cangjian Mountain Villa, regardless of the reason, it will lead to suspicion and possibly even a united defense from other sects in the martial world.
As for the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms? The martial sects, noble families, and the court have always kept to themselves. If the Great Zhou or Great Qi decide to take action against Cangjian Mountain Villa, it would likely signal the imminent downfall of their nations! If all sects and noble families in the world unite against them, even all the courts in the Zongwu World would be unable to withstand this terrifying backlash!
The structure of the entire Zongwu World has long been established. Once Cangjian Mountain Villa begins to decline, the entire martial world will tremble!
"I really can't think of any reason why the righteous sects would want to act against my Cangjian Mountain Villa. Unless their leaders have gone mad, they would never do such a thing," a Youngshen expert stated emphatically. The other Youngshen experts present nodded in agreement; they shared similar thoughts.
"That being said, we can basically narrow down our targets. It’s likely that the Demonic Path is restless and wants to stir up trouble!" Han Tingshan, an old acquaintance of Jiang Han, suddenly spoke up.
Zhui Wuming immediately added, "This is certainly possible. It should be that Jiang Han's Manichaeism has colluded with other lurking Demonic Path scoundrels, which gave Manichaeism the confidence to take the initiative."
Jiang Han, at such a young age and with a bone age of less than twenty years, had already reached the Destruction of the Youngshen Realm. His foundation was solid, and his potential immense; he was indeed rare in the entire Zongwu Jianghu. Even historical figures like Shaolin Damo Patriarch and Supreme Forgetting Emotion Dao Ancestor were slightly inferior!
Now, as a rising star of the Demonic Path, Jiang Han must have been seen as a banner for its revival. It wouldn’t be surprising if some lingering old monsters from the Demonic Path disregarded Cangjian Mountain Villa's stern warnings and came forward to support him!
