Chapter 436: First Speech
Great monk is an honorific title only for those who exist in the later stage of Nascent Soul.
Whether they are in the Sea of Chaos Stars or Tiannan, they are all unique existences. It can be said that except for those incarnations who cannot take action at will, a few people, and are hidden in the world, they are the pinnacle of the human world, and each one is covered with countless Aura, every move can attract everyone's attention and have a far-reaching impact.
As soon as the three people appeared, Xu Qingyang could hear the heartbeats of many people in the venue speeding up.
Envy, fear, yearning, admiration, seriousness, there were all kinds of reactions, no one said anything, no matter how unruly the person was, it seemed that at this moment, he still maintained the respect that a low-ranking person should have, and treated a high-ranking person with the same sacred respect. On a certain level, they correspond to the Mahayana of the upper realm.
The three people, with different expressions, slowly walked to the middle of the hall and stopped side by side.
The big man in black robe spoke first and said very straightforwardly: "Who are the three of us? There is no need to introduce ourselves. This meeting will be co-chaired by the three of us. You have no objection!"
As he spoke, his terrifying spiritual pressure filled the entire hall, and everyone looked embarrassed.
This behavior is very boring.
He brought everyone back to the same position, descending from gods to humans. Xu Qingyang secretly shook his head.
Since they are human beings, respect is due to respect, but there is no one here who is not powerful and arrogant. Pressing them hard like this immediately aroused their resistance, so the old man with the sword quickly opened his mouth and softened his words: "Since Those who are able to come are all people with great righteousness and good sense of propriety. Fellow Taoist Hehuan, it’s better to get to the point quickly.”
The big man in black robe raised his brows, and after thinking about it, he still suppressed his spiritual pressure.
Everyone felt relieved, and the green-haired old man also spoke in a conciliatory manner: "We didn't mean to do this. In fact, this decisive battle affects all the people in the south of the world. Based on some previous experiences, strict discipline must be observed..."
Strict discipline means that they should follow orders and stop going their own way.
No one said a word, but the strings in their hearts were tightened. The big man in black robe followed: "No more nonsense, and there is no time to chat. Just this morning, the Mulan people sent an envoy and sent a letter of war. , if we do not agree to the bet they proposed, we will execute all the captives at the border in seven days, and then engage in a full-scale fight to the death with us until one party is completely defeated and surrenders. "
"Seven days later, so fast, I'll be ready here!"
"The traitor Mulan has a sinister heart"
There was a commotion among the monks, and their expressions were not very good. Especially those who knew their own preparations were extremely stressed, such as Long Han, who knew very well the current situation of the Tiannan Alliance Army.
It might be better if he was given more time to practice, but the Komulans would not give him time.
Taoist Negi Sword chuckled and said: "You are all our Tiannan heroes. Although our preparations are a little hasty now, but so what. The winner of this victory depends on whether we can suppress the Tiannan masters. As long as we win, we will be able to win again." No matter how large the army is, they will be driven out of Tiannan sooner or later and sent back to the grassland. "
"This is their letter of challenge. You can circulate it and read it."
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip, and a white-haired monk stepped forward to take it, then handed it to the right and began to circulate it.
The information on the jade slip was read directly, very quickly, and it fell into Xu Qingyang's hands in a short while. He put it a little on his forehead. He passed it to the next one silently, looking at the three people and waiting for the follow-up.
At this time, the man next to him started to curse after reading it.
"It's unreasonable. The Mulan people are so arrogant that they actually asked us to surrender directly, and even voluntarily gave up half of Tiannan's territory to them, turning conflicts into friendship. Otherwise, we will fight together without leaving any trace of armor. I really don't think that we know that the Mulan people are now It's just a dog jumping over the wall, and dragging them can kill them..."
"What do you mean, fellow Taoist, that you want to turn it into a protracted war before it even starts?"
But he said that although this person looked furious, his words were somewhat thoughtful.
Before he could deny it, someone immediately said anxiously: "A protracted war is a last resort. The final retreat. If we focus on deep delay now, your fellow Daoist Lu's Thousand Fantasy Sect's deep inland can be unimpeded. Wouldn't we be successful?" "The lost dog"
The fat monk surnamed Lu laughed and said, "I'm also thinking about reality!"
"Winning or losing depends on the strength of our senior leaders, but the strength of the Mulan people's senior leaders is also not bad. In a stalemate, it still depends on the outcome of the battle between the two main armies. Everyone knows the situation. We, Tiannan, may be able to fight alone. , but I don’t think I need to say much about what it looks like together.”
"Fellow Taoist Long Han, you should know this situation best."
Long Han was suddenly focused on everyone and was under great pressure. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but had to put on a firm look and said: "We have some problems, but we also have our own advantages, which may not necessarily collapse at the first touch."
"Fellow Daoist Long, this is true!"
Many people don't quite understand the Monk War, and after hearing this, they seem to think there is hope.
These words were difficult for Long Han to accept. It was OK to be encouraging, but the reality must be spoken. If the words were too full, he, the commander-in-chief of Tiannan, would bear the main responsibility if the war was defeated and he would be crucified in historical shame. Needless to say on the pillars.
Seeing his troubled face, the monk surnamed Lu smiled.
"You see, even my Tiannan fellow Taoist Dragon, who is best at leading monks, has no determination to win. I think we can consider it and make full use of our Tiannan's vast land, rich resources, depth, width, and complex terrain to take Mulan. Drag people into the quagmire, and when they are in a dilemma, there will be an opportunity for victory. "
"As for fellow Taoists who have lost their territory, as long as the people are still there and the people have lost their territory, the territory can always be regained and the sect can be rebuilt..."
"No, we will never agree."
As soon as the monk surnamed Lu finished speaking, a monk from the Nine Nations Alliance jumped out immediately.
Just kidding, if we fight like this, their Nine-Nation Alliance will be sold out. Their position of resisting the Mulans for countless years and guarding the Tiannan Gate will never return. After the war, they may have to be annexed by the three major forces. What's the point? Damn it, not to mention that the monks are already scattered. The so-called protracted war, who knows what will happen.
"Enough!!"
Just as they were about to separate into two camps and start arguing with each other, the big man in black robe gave a fierce shout.
The face of the Hehuan Old Devil must be given to everyone here. He immediately became quiet and listened to him say: "Whether to fight a protracted war has been decided long ago and is not within the scope of this meeting."
"Yes, this meeting only needs to discuss how to deal with the Mulan Master army."
"If there are different opinions, the last resolution should prevail." Wei Wuya, the green-haired old man and Supreme Elder of the Nine Nations Alliance, had to stand up and veto the idea of some people's protracted war.
Zhiyang Master of the Righteous Path Alliance also echoed.
"Don't take any chances. This time the Mulan people are coming in full force. We have already deduced it countless times. If we don't take advantage of the morale now, once it turns into a protracted war, it will inevitably lead to fragmentation and the inability to form effective command. By then, if we are one clan and one country, how can we be the opponents of the Mulan people?"
"Even if we have to fight a protracted war, this is the last way to preserve the fire of Tiannan's resistance!"
In the autumn of life and death, the three major monks remained consistent. The Tiannan strategy was dominated by the three of them. Their opinions were unified, and they represented the majority of the forces and supported a frontal decisive battle.
With the three people setting the tone, their thoughts quickly turned to the conditions of the Mulan people this time.
"Betting war!"
"Tsk, tsk, what tricks are these Mulan people up to? Let's fight. Let's all stand up and send each other's masters to duel. If the outcome can be determined by a duel, it would be good. It can avoid a life-threatening situation, but this I’m worried about the thoughts of the Mulan people, I always feel like they have some conspiracy!” Yulingzong Dongmentu said, rubbing his chin.
"Hmph, no matter what his conspiracy is, you are still afraid of him!"
"Yes, this gambling battle is not bad. The other party also placed an additional bet. I heard that the amount of rare materials is huge, and I am very greedy."
Xu Qingyang, who had been silent until now, suddenly interjected: "What other conspiracy can there be? It's just a conspiracy!"
As soon as he spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Xu Qingyang's reputation for strength is only one aspect. The people here don't attach much importance to it. The main reason is that some people have heard that he had deliberately tried to negotiate with the Mulan people, and also analyzed the situation between the Mulan people and the Mulan people's mortal enemy, the Tu people. Many monks thought it made sense, and also suggested whether they could formally offer sincere negotiations to the Mulan people.
However, this suggestion was quickly aborted.
The main reason is that the Mulan people were so powerful that they broke through Tiantian City in one fell swoop and occupied a small half of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
In this case, peace talks are possible, but the other party has a huge appetite. The Nine Nations Alliance is the first to disagree, which will also have a huge impact on their own morale. If they really want peace talks, they must first let the Mulan people know how powerful they are.
There are many, even the majority, of those who are good at cultivating immortals, but not as good as the general trend. Many of them want to hear the judgment of this rookie.
Even the three major monks' eyes fell on him one after another.
Wei Wuya showed a kind smile: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I invited you several times before, but you couldn't leave. This time I can accept the invitation. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak freely. If it is beneficial to our victory, I will judge Mulan." We will humbly accept the opinions of Taoist friends and implement them."
He collected intelligence during this period and figured out that this person had a strong desire to participate in the strategy between the two clans, so he might as well buy a good one.
Xu Qingyang was not polite and saluted Wei Wuya with his hands raised. He said: "The Mulan people are eager to win. Needless to say, just as Taoist friend Zhiyang said before, the master of this battle lies with us at the top. As long as we remain undefeated, Mulan will not be defeated." Even if the army of soldiers wins, they will be dragged into the quagmire. This is a situation they cannot accept. Therefore, in this battle, they not only want to win the military battle, but also want to capture the main forces like me in one fell swoop. "
"Do you mean, Fellow Daoist Xu, that their gambling battle will definitely lead to defeat for us in the gambling battle?"
"It's ridiculous. No matter how strong the Muran people are, are we just like the mud?"
There was a buzz of discussion, but someone with an average cultivation level couldn't bear the momentum of these people. Xu Qingyang stood still and waited for the old devil Hehuan to say something to shock the order before continuing.
"They don't need to bet on victory, they just need to hold me back."
"Oh, how do you say this?" Master Zhiyang brushed his beard in surprise. Wei Wuya opened his mouth and became interested.
Xu Qingyang chuckled: "It's not clear yet. Holding us down will also hold back their own strong men. It seems impossible, but don't forget that there are Dajin demon cultivators behind them. If these people intervene, or If you provide us with any means that we have never seen before and are difficult to defend against, we will definitely fall into the trap.”
"At that time, they will use off-site chess pieces, or simply some inferior pieces to defeat us for a period of time."
"Needless to say, the result is that our strength has been greatly reduced, but the other side has not suffered any damage. They immediately broke the agreement and took the opportunity to fight decisively. By then, I, Tiannan, will definitely be defeated."
After he finished speaking, the place was buzzing again.
"What Fellow Daoist Xu said makes sense. They also have those foreign aids, and their origins are also fearful. It is said that they are all the legendary Dajin cultivators. I have read the ancient books of the sect. Dajin has been the legendary holy land of immortal cultivation in the human world since ancient times. The means and magical powers of that place are absolutely incomparable to us. It is not surprising that they want to deceive us."
The speaker is Master Zhiyang, and he has read more than these.
The origin of Taizhen Sect is very long. The disciples of Taizhen Sect who have been here for a long time are not very clear about their own origins, or in other words, the information captured by the scales has been passed down, but the real information has been lost.
This is not surprising. There are often turmoil in the world of immortal cultivation.
There are ups and downs, and sometimes the station has to be relocated. Among all kinds of strange accidents, ancient information is the easiest to be lost.
But sometimes, these ancient sects can unexpectedly find some things from the pile of old papers. For example, Master Zhiyang accidentally found the origin of his own sect.
Let's not talk about this here, let's get back to the topic.
After Zhiyang agreed, Wei Wuya frowned: "Does Fellow Daoist Xu mean to refuse the gambling fight?"
After this was said, most people nodded in agreement. Since they couldn't tell the pulse, they were very likely to fall into the trap of the other party, so they naturally couldn't go in headfirst. Moreover, many people present were persuaded by the three great cultivators to participate in the gambling fight. Under such an unknown background, they also wanted to retreat.
Although the conditions were good and the treasures were many, they were not as important as their own lives.
According to the rules of the gambling fight, it must be a fight of life and death, that is, a fight to the death. The four major forces could not force this kind of battle. They were all induced by profit and supplemented by righteousness.
Wei Wuya frowned, and the reason was simple.
Someone immediately jumped out: "If you refuse to fight, it's okay for you who just arrived, but are we going to just abandon the captured people of the Nine Nations Alliance?"
"Also, this is not just the Nine Nations Alliance's business."
"Many of those people stayed behind to contain the pace of the Mulan people. They were seriously injured and had no choice but to be captured. If we just leave them behind after a few words, I'm afraid that the Mulan people will spread the word that we are cold-blooded and ruthless. How will the people below see it? Who will fight to the death!"
The discussion came one after another, mainly from the Nine Nations Alliance monks.
However, the two sides of the righteous and the evil, as well as some representatives of the Tiandao Alliance, also had similar opinions. The butt determines the head. They also have disciples who were captured. How can they just leave it alone?
If they don't care, people's hearts will be scattered.
Huangfeng Valley is a good example. It played a bad chess game that year, and the entire sect was about to fall apart.
We can't just ignore them, especially at this decisive moment, morale is greatly affected. Xu Qingyang and the others had enough of the quarrel, so they sent a message to the three great monks: "If they want to play tricks, we will play tricks too. We can't be led by them. Let's see whose method is more sophisticated."
