Chapter 458 Could it be a certain demon god?
After deciding on the future strategy, which was mainly based on the theme of "waiting for the rabbit by the tree", the three of them stayed on the mountain with peace of mind, waiting for the rabbit to come to them.
During the days of waiting, the three of them did not slack off all day.
Xiao Ningxue stayed in the room, reading newspapers collected from the city at the foot of the mountain every day to get news from various channels.
Lin Hongxue fully utilized her advantage as a direct descendant of the Lin family. Even though the atmosphere of Liushui Jiuqumen was very solemn at the moment, she still made many friends smoothly.
It is said that a man chasing a woman is a mountain away, and a woman chasing a man is a gauze away.
The same is true for the upper and lower to be good friends.
Especially when the status gap between the two sides is huge, friendship comes more easily.
In just a few days, Lin Hongxue became a real face king.
It can be said that everyone on the whole mountain knows her.
Everyone is willing to give her face for the sake of the Lin family behind her.
Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Lin Hongxue suddenly became a big celebrity in everyone's eyes.
Su Chen always followed Lin Hongxue, one was to protect her closely, and Lin Dong gave him such a generous reward, so he was embarrassed to slack off.
Another was to show his strength. Only the face but no substance would greatly reduce Lin Hongxue's influence.
And if she had both the face and the substance, no one would dare to look down on Lin Hongxue.
Now the three of them are an unbreakable small group with common interests.
Lin Hongxue can have a bigger face, and Su Chen can act more conveniently.
Su Chen naturally doesn't mind cooperating with Lin Hongxue to expand her influence.
Busy, busy.
A week passed in a blink of an eye.
On the surface, the unrest in various places did not intensify, but became calmer.
Some people think: "Those wild dogs are just this level. After a round of outbreak, there will be no follow-up."
But more people think: "This is just the last calm before the storm. We must be prepared and prepare for the worst!"
The atmosphere inside Liushui Jiuqumen became more serious and depressing.
Just then, a piece of news came to the mountain, which moved everyone.
"According to the latest news, including Xuande City, a new evil cult is spreading wildly in many villages, towns and cities within the influence of Liushui Jiuqumen."
"It is called the Mahakala Sect, its origin is unknown, and it is very powerful. Many local forces went to investigate, but in the end nothing came of it."
"At the beginning, not many people cared about the spread of the Mahakala Sect, but in recent times, the spread of the Mahakala Sect has increased wildly."
"The people below estimate that the number of followers of the Mahakala Sect within a thousand miles nearby may have reached hundreds of thousands!"
"Since some villages and towns cannot be counted in place, it is estimated that the number of followers of the Mahakala Sect in this area may even be millions!"
"Even if most of them are weaklings below the fourth stage, and there are only a handful of those above the fifth stage, they have already formed a threat that cannot be ignored."
This is a million people.
Even if only one-tenth of them are fanatics, it is still a threat of 100,000 people.
What's more, everyone in the Tianyuan Empire worships the strong and advocates force. Even a child on the street has practiced some kung fu.
Most of the 100,000 fanatics who may exist are probably of high rank.
For low-rank people like this, one or two is not a big deal, and so are a hundred, but once it reaches the scale of 100,000 people...
That's quite terrifying!
The spread of the Mahakala sect is so fast, and it is even more weird from the inside out.
When Su Chen saw this news, he always had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. How could it be similar to the succubus that he encountered in the Tuyuan Magic Academy?
In addition, the Mahakala sect has such a strange name.
"Could it be that the devil is behind this evil cult?" Su Chen lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
But if it is really the devil, what is the purpose?
In Tianyuan, the Liushui Jiuqumen is not a small guy, but it is not a real behemoth.
At least compared with those families that have been passed down for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it is much worse than those families that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Every devil is a genuine strong man of more than ten ranks.
If they want to launch an offensive against Tianyuan, they should at least touch those aristocratic families with thousands of years of history, right?
A mere Liushui Jiuqumen, to put it bluntly, is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth.
Going to great lengths to build such a small place, it may not even make back the capital, what's the point of this.
Strange, too strange.
Su Chen has dealt with demons before.
Knowing that these mysterious beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years are not easy to deal with.
There must be a meticulous logic behind their actions, and they are all calculating and acting for their own interests.
Thinking of this, Su Chen's mind flashed!
"Could it be that a certain demon wants to use this so-called Mahakala Cult to gain a foothold in the Tianyuan Empire?"
"No, if he really has this idea, there are too many better ways."
"Or does he want to eat people?"
"There is no need to make so much trouble."
Everything in front of him is full of disobedience.
Doubts filled his mind.
Su Chen put all the distracting thoughts out of his mind and calmed down.
"In any case, Liushui Jiuqumen must be the place where the mastermind behind the scenes must come."
"As long as I wait for them here, I will eventually know the truth."
As for other problems, let Liushui Jiuqumen consider and solve them by themselves.
After all, a thousand miles of land is their territory.
They are the masters of several nearby cities and hundreds of thousands of villages and towns.
Even the people of the Tianyuan Empire court may not have as strong control over the surrounding areas as them!
As a guest, Su Chen did not intend to meddle in other people's affairs.
In this way, time came to a week later.
Xiao Ningxue handed the latest newspaper to Su Chen, and said with a serious look: "Have you noticed?"
"The number of riots that have broken out in various places recently has increased rapidly."
"Not only are the strong attacking the resource warehouse, but many low-level civilians have also participated."
"Parades, strikes, attacks on the industries under the name of Liushui Jiuqumen, and even attacks on the court personnel of the Tianyuan Empire."
"At present, all this is still within the controllable range, but it is speeding towards the direction of being out of control!"
"If it continues like this..." Xiao Ningxue asserted with a firm look in her eyes: "At most at the end of this month."
"The storm will really come!"
Su Chen frowned and pondered the doorway.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Hongxue beside him.
"Are there any movements of those friends you met recently?"
