Wait for the inspiration to finish.

Cooperate?

Or not cooperative?

This voice, like a guessing spell, kept playing in the minds of the Ascending Void Dao Ancestor and the others.

His face was full of confusion, and his heart was full of hesitation.

If you choose to cooperate, it will be both good and bad for Guanglei Mountain.

The advantage is that you can get unimaginably huge economic benefits, and earn almost countless spirit coins.

The downside?

It may be the same as the Hundred Cities Alliance more than ten years ago, Feiyun Mountain a few years ago, and Chixing Mountain not long ago.

What happened to these forces?

Merge.

Without exception, all of them were merged and annexed by the Ten Thousand Nations.

Then they use means such as controlling the source of disciples, economic binding, and sending students to study abroad, etc., to give complete control and cannot be separated.

In the end, he had to obey the laws of mortals, sit on an equal footing with mortals, and could not get complete freedom, and had to look at the faces of mortals.

This kind of hellish life, even if you can earn more spirit coins, it is not meaningful.

What about non-cooperation?

Beaten.

Be prepared to wait to be beaten.

Because the mortals of the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom are so rich!

It is estimated from their clothing, productivity level, army strength, quality of life and other aspects that Wancheng Country is at least 100 times richer than Guanglei Mountain.

It's just a lot of money, the problem is that their military strength is also growing explosively.

Under the national cultivation mode, a population of 800 million, multiplied by one of four hundred, there may be nearly 2 million monks in the country of ten thousand times.

Three percent of them are condensate stage monks, and one in 10,000 is Gudan stage immortals.

Plus the auxiliary bonuses of the Spirit Gathering Tower and the Melting Spirit Pill......

In a few years, the Guanglei Mountain Society will be overwhelmed by the monk legions of the Wancheng Kingdom.

And they also have the Lingyuan battleships that can bombard the Divine Stage Ancestor with one shot, and the number may be hundreds.

It is supplemented by the benefits of utensils.

This is a suffocating and hopeless disparity in strength.

Saying that you don't cooperate at this time is tantamount to saying - I choose to die.

Of course, the facts may not be as exaggerated as mentioned above, but it is true that the gap between the strength of Guanglei Mountain and Wancheng Kingdom in recent years has not narrowed, but widened.

The bigger it gets.

There is no chance of catching up...... Even if Guanglei Mountain carried out certain reforms, painted cats according to tigers, introduced some advanced systems, and created a powerful Lingyuan cannon.

Still to no avail.

But cooperation ...... Sooner or later it will be annexed.

After being annexed, there are still many benefits, but a large part of the rights and dignity are lost.

How to choose?

In the Guanglei Hall, all the elders quarreled.

The vast majority are voices opposed to cooperation.

"The Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom harbored evil intentions and came with the despicable purpose of annexing us, and must not cooperate with it!"

"Spiritual coins, magic weapons, and belongings are all things outside the body, so what use do we cultivators want?"

"Yes, we and other immortals only ask about immortality, and no matter how much money we have, it is just dung. ”

"Sect Master, please expel all the visiting groups of the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom, return all the goods and goods, and don't fall for their temptation!"

"Don't think that the people of Guanglei Mountain are all fools! Your thoughts of the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom have been revealed, do you think we can't see it?"

"Agreed to cooperate, and fell for the poisonous plan of Wanchengguo. ”

In the main hall, there was a voice that saw through the ambitions and intentions of the Wancheng Kingdom and thought that it could not cooperate.

But there are also a small number of people who think that it is not impossible to cooperate.

"It's okay to cooperate, but we don't allow the Wancheng Kingdom to meddle in the internal affairs of my Guanglei Mountain, and we don't allow it to invade our mortal cities. ”

"Yes, cooperation is possible, but in our territory, we must be the mainstay, not anti-customer!"

"We have taken precautions, the treacherous tricks of the Wancheng Kingdom are useless, we can get some good things from them. ”

"Yes, at least the Melting Spirit Pill, I must have it in Guanglei Mountain!"

Among these voices of support and opposition, Ye Kong, who was sitting in the front position, did not say a word and remained silent.

The heart is very heavy.

Because whether it is cooperation or non-cooperation, for Guanglei Mountain, it means two words.

Crisis.

A major crisis related to the survival of the sect.

There may be some elders who think that this is an opportunity and think that they can cooperate to earn countless spirit coins, but Ye Kong knows in his heart that this crisis has officially begun.

From the moment when the Wanchengguo delegation gave the so-called "sincerity" gift, which was actually a disguised display of strength and muscles, Ye Kong knew that Wanchengguo was going to make a move on Guanglei Mountain.

Speaking of cooperation, I just want to test Guanglei Mountain's will to resist, collect some intelligence, and prepare for conquest.

Why?

Because of the strong, there is no habit of cooperating with the weak.

No matter how strong the country is, there is no need for cooperation at all.

So Ye Kong saw a huge crisis.

There is not the slightest hint of optimism.

And asked the old man in his head: "Old man, this crisis in my Guanglei Mountain will be unprecedented, what should I do?"

The opponent was too strong, Ye Kong didn't have the slightest idea in his heart, so he could only habitually ask the old man.

"Uh......"

The old man in his mind thought for a while, and asked him first: "If Wancheng Kingdom comes over and wants to destroy Guanglei Mountain, what will you do?"

"What else can I do, I can only fight!" Ye Kong said without hesitation.

"But the kingdom of ten thousand times is very strong, and if you face it, you may die. ”

The old man paused and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Die?

Ye Kong was slightly stunned and thought about this question for a while.

Then he shook his head and said: "Death, who is not afraid, but when the enemy comes, I can only fight." ”

Even death is better than being a cowardly deserter.

Zhou Ming immediately understood what he meant, and also understood his choice very well, after all, Guanglei Mountain was Ye Kong's teacher, Guanglei Mountain cultivated him, provided resources, let him achieve something in cultivation, promoted his position, and let him give full play to his personal ability, of course, he encountered a lot of resistance and suppression in this process, but in general, the favor given to him by the stage of Guanglei Mountain is worthy of his return and loyalty.

It is basically impossible for him to betray this sect or flee this place.

Because Ye Kong's body has been deeply imprinted by Guanglei Mountain, he has deep emotions and bonds...... Even if it's not perfect.

"Wait a minute, wait and see what happens, there are three ancestors in Guanglei Mountain, there are more than 100 immortals, and the Wancheng Kingdom wants to destroy it, it is not so easy, and they propose to cooperate, I am afraid it is also for this reason. ”

The old man said.

Ye Kong nodded, Wan Chengguo's intentions have not been fully exposed yet, and he does not have much say in Guanglei Mountain, waiting and waiting for changes is indeed the best response.

……

At this time, in the main hall, after the fierce argument lasted for a while, the Ascending Void Dao Ancestor knocked on the low table in front of him, making it quiet below.

"Whether or not to cooperate with the Wancheng Kingdom, our sect still needs to discuss for a few days, and today I will talk about this, you all belong to your own mountains,. ”

The Ascending Void Dao Ancestor waved his hand to end the temple meeting, and then summoned the elders of the various mountains and held an internal meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

At the internal meeting, the elders were consulted, and 80% said they could not cooperate and 20% thought they could.

Non-cooperative faction is in the majority...... Ye Kong is also one of the majority.

The Ascending Void Dao Ancestor himself also felt that the cooperation invitation of the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom contained a trap, and thought that he could not cooperate.

Therefore, the next day, in the Guanglei Palace, after summoning the diplomatic ambassador of Wancheng Country again, Li Dao Ancestor, said in a euphemistic tone: "The time is not yet ripe for this cooperation, let me think about it for some more time, and then look for cooperation opportunities in the future." ”

Hearing this, Li Daoshi shook his head with a regretful face, "It seems that your sect still doesn't trust me Wancheng country, your sect's misunderstanding of our country is too deep, resulting in a great opportunity to miss the loss, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"I think this is because the two sides do not know each other well enough, and it is normal for me to visit Guanglei Mountain for the first time on behalf of Wan Chengguo, and there is not enough mutual trust. ”

"However, Wanchengguo and Guangleishan still have good prospects and foundations for cooperation, and they cannot cooperate at present because of insufficient mutual trust between the two sides and a weak foundation. ”

"As long as the two sides enhance mutual understanding, increase mutual contacts, cultivate deep friendship, and lay a solid foundation for cooperation, he will be able to cooperate one day!"

Therefore, with this in mind, Li Daoshi timely suggested that the two sides should first establish a solid bilateral dialogue relationship, send personnel to visit each other, cultivate friendship first, and resolve previous misunderstandings.

It is best that after Wan Chengguo's visit is over, Guanglei Mountain can also send personnel to pay a return visit to Wan Chengguo.

In this way, the mutual understanding can quickly change from "misunderstanding" to "understanding".

When we have a good understanding of each other, we can have full cooperation.

Sending personnel to pay a return visit?

This proposal of Li Daoshi caused a heated discussion among the elders, and in the end, the agreement and opposition were fifty percent.

Shengxu Daozu thought about it, Wan Chengguo sent a delegation to visit, and gave so many generous gifts, it stands to reason that Guanglei Mountain should indeed pay a return visit and give some gifts.

And the upper echelons of Guanglei Mountain, the understanding of the Wancheng country is only in the information sent by the latent intelligence officers, those very exaggerated descriptions, there are doubts about the real situation, if you want to understand clearly, you still have to have high-level figures, personally go to the Wancheng country to find out, and see it with your own eyes.

It just so happened that many elders now have cameras in their hands as gifts from the visiting group, so that they can take some pictures.

So after a private internal discussion, Guangleishan reached an agreement: he agreed to send personnel to visit Wancheng Country.

It's just this person......

"Ye Kong, you go, you are most concerned about the movements of Wancheng Country on weekdays, you can apply to become a representative and go to this country to investigate. The old man in his head suddenly suggested.

Ye Kong nodded, it just so happened that most of the elders were cautious and skeptical about visiting the Wancheng Kingdom, worried that this was a trap and no one signed up, Ye Kong took the initiative to ask Ying, and as soon as he said that he was going, he immediately got the approval of the Ascending Void Dao Ancestor, praised him well, and called on other elders to learn from him.

In this way, the task of leading the group to visit Wancheng Country fell on Ye Kong's shoulders.
