These newly risen factions were grassroots movements that understood nothing.
When they saw a Daoist Temple or a monastery, they felt no sense of reverence.
They would just bring their armies to surround them, and then they'd beat, smash, rob, and kill!
"Those long-nosed old Daoists, those bald donkeys—chop 'em all down for me!"
"The Buddhist Sect and the Daoist Sect have occupied so much land. How much wealth have they hoarded over the years?"
"Hand it all over!"
"My army is out of rations! I don't give a damn about your Daoist and Buddhist sects!"
"If you don't hand over the money!"
"Chop them all down!"
"Burn down all your Daoist Temples and monasteries!"
Things like this happened from time to time all over the world.
Unlike the Shang Yin incident, the Daoist and Buddhist Sects didn't always dispatch personnel with true Magical Power to stand up for the ordinary Daoists and Monks who were killed.
In short, Magical Power was difficult to cultivate.
