Chapter 560: Countries Seek Help
Lin Xiao felt that he still had a simple sense of justice in his heart, this sense of justice had no interest needs, he just didn't want to kill millions of mortals.
The life and death of an immortal cultivator can be said to be his own choice, since he has embarked on this path, for the sake of profit, you kill others, and others kill you, this is a matter of course.
But what about mortals, the mortals in this world are miserable, no one promotes the development of mortal society, no one cares whether they are happy, mortals claim to be the foundation of the immortal cultivation world, but the best treatment that immortal cultivators give to mortals is not to starve to death, have more children, provide disciples with spiritual roots, and that's it.
This is true even for the Wu Kingdom under Lin Xiao's control, Lin Xiao has been pushing for this reform, always trying to manage mortals tightly, wanting to give them the power of happiness.
However, this matter has not been successful, Lin Xiao's ability is so great, and the truth is so cruel, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to give up the development of the sect to develop mortals, in that case, all the disciples will rebel.
Now that the matter of Annan has happened, Lin Xiaoda wants to destroy that group of demon cultivators in his heart, and then bring those people out.
But the persuasion of Ye Nanyu and the others made Lin Xiao's blood cold, because Lin Xiao knew very well that without enough benefits, he really couldn't mobilize the rest of the martial arts sects, and even the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect would complain.
Although the demon cultivation force of Annan Kingdom is not as good as that of Wuguo, there are tens of thousands of people, and once a big war breaks out, it will be a group of dead people, and no one is willing to die for those who have no interests in themselves.
Lin Xiao was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't force it, if Lin Xiao wanted to forcibly conquer Annan, the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect would also follow and destroy it, but this approach was too irrational, Lin Xiao was waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity began to appear half a month later, and it has reached its peak in a month, and this opportunity is the request for help from the countries of Nanzhou.
After the destruction of Annan, the surrounding countries were intensively mobilizing and preparing for war, but the incident happened in a hurry, and the people and horses were assembled, but it was difficult to prepare enough materials, not to mention the rumors, which also led to a sharp rise in the price of materials.
In addition, all countries are wary of each other and cannot work together, which is the legacy of the beast tide more than 100 years ago.
At that time, the beast tide swept more than a dozen countries in the southwest of Nanzhou, but the losses of each country were different, some people were big and some were small, some people recovered quickly after the war, and some people recovered slowly, like the martial country, that is, it took more than 20 years to recover its strength, but some countries took hundreds of years to recover.
This has caused the extremes of the strength of various countries, so the weak and small countries will not dare to form an alliance with your big country, because the power will definitely be in the hands of the big country at that time, what if you are used as cannon fodder, what if you know the truth, so it is impossible to form an alliance.
Therefore, you can only ask for help, and if you ask for help, there are only two countries at the southwest end of Nanzhou that can be begged, one is the Song State and the other is the Wu State, and these two big countries are both under the control of the Divine Void Period monks, which is enough to destroy the demon cultivators of the Annan Kingdom.
Especially the Song Kingdom, which has been known for its generosity for thousands of years, has been specially dealing with some thorny problems for various countries, of course, this is not done in vain, you have to give money, and the price is not low, over the years, relying on this income, the Song Kingdom has made a lot of money.
This time Song Guo also had the same idea, they couldn't get used to the Demon Kingdom, after all, they were a member of the mainstream immortal cultivation world, but for the sake of people who had nothing to do with their interests, the disciples of Song Guo were also unwilling, and Song Guo still had to ask for money if he wanted to send troops.
And the amount of money asked for this time is not low, after all, demon cultivation is not an ordinary difficulty, if you want to solve this matter, Song Guo will also die a lot.
No country can afford the price of Song Guokai independently, but because the countries are not aligned, and the distance to Annan is also different, there is no basis for a reasonable share of this cost.
So all countries can only turn to Wuguo for help, at this time Lin Xiao is not in the sect, and Nan Xuan does not dare to be this kind of master, so he can only pass the information to Lin Xiao.
"Righteousness, the interests are all there, what else do you have to say?"
"No, you can do whatever you want, boss."
"What's the matter, Ye Nanyu, you don't even listen to me?"
"How dare you?"
"I think you dare"
"My boss, they haven't bid yet, and we haven't counteroffered yet, so you're ready to move, what can I do, I won't lose money on this trip."
"Don't think I don't know, haven't you already asked Nan Xuan to negotiate?"
"Why, really not"
"Master, do I want to go back this time?"
"What, you want to go back?"
"Well, it's been a long time since I've been back to the sect, and I also want to go and practice for a while."
Li Muxue said, Li Muxue has a big enmity with Demon Cultivator, the Cold Blood Demon Lord almost killed her back then, and later Lin Xiao helped her take revenge, but he didn't kill the enemy himself, which can be regarded as a regret.
"You don't have to go back, according to the news of the night owl, the Heavenly Demon Lord is only a spiritual light cultivator, not enough for me to fight alone, you can rest assured that you can refine the pill in Tiansu City, and you also need a Divine Void Period monk to sit here."
"The head is right, Senior Sister Mu Xue, don't you know how prosperous Bai Xueju is now, our family accounts for one percent of the high-grade pills in the entire Tiansu City, do you know how many people are angry with us?
Otherwise, there would have been countless troubles coming to us over the years, and you have to be in it."
Ye Nanyu said that Bai Xueju only does the business of Dan Fu Array above the fourth order, so it has no impact on those small businesses, but the big ones are different, and there are many people who are blushing at Bai Xueju.
Otherwise, Lin Xiao's previous series of operations, even Tianxuanzong's face was slapped several times, maybe someone really couldn't help but do it, the interests were worth their hard work.
"You all said so, then stay, Master has to quickly train a Divine Void Period monk to come out, I have also been trapped in this Tiansu City for many years, I need to go out and travel for a day or two"
"It's coming soon, it's been almost two hundred years since the first batch of breakthroughs in the aura, and it won't be long before that."
"I, I, Senior Sister Mu Xue, if you support me more, I promise to improve my cultivation soon, and I will be in charge of Tiansu City in the future."
"You want to be beautiful, and you want to sit with Si Qi, right?"
"Haha, the head still understands me"
"I won't talk nonsense with you, this kind of thing will be said in the future, pack up your things today, leave tomorrow, and within half a month, we will rush to Wuguo"
Lin Xiao glared at Ye Nanyu, and then went to arrange specific matters, Tiansu City's route back to Wuguo had been taken many times, and he knew how to be faster, where to go to sit in the teleportation array, and which way to go.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Xiao set off with everyone, this time except for Ye Nanyu, there were no disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, but there were twenty disciples of the Tianyin Sect, Lin Xiao had always been very curious about the matter of the sound wave gong helping the large-scale war, so he specially went to find the person who Tie Di wanted.
The iron flute is not ambiguous, these twenty people are all Purple Mansion monks at the least, and they have taken out all the elites who stayed in Tiansu City, and they have also brought special magic weapons, and they will perform when the time comes.
Wind and dust, half a month later, Lin Xiao also rushed to the mountain gate, in the past half a month, Nan Xuan has already talked to the envoys from various countries asking for help, the Heavenly Saint Sect can send troops, but there must be conditions, no benefits will be given, it is impossible to agree.
And the remuneration reported by various countries on their own initiative was not satisfactory, and it did not meet Nan Xuan's requirements at all, so Nan Xuan also took the initiative this time and talked about several requirements.
The first requirement was the issue of trade after the war, and the merchants of the hundred cities must have preferential treatment in various countries, increase cooperation, and so on, which is a commercial matter.
The second requirement is also related to commerce, each country has its own specialties, and also has its own treasures, just like the Five Elements Fruit Tree of the Wujia in Wusun Country, many countries have this kind of treasure, Nan Xuan asked them to take out this kind of treasure at the bottom of the box to trade, the price goes with the market, the Heavenly Saint Sect does not bully you, but the premise is that it must be sold.
The treasures of various countries have long been investigated by the Baicheng merchants and night owls, and none of them have run, and if they do not agree to this condition, the martial country will not send troops.
The third requirement is the normal battlefield requirements, the military country sends troops, the resources consumed are shared equally by each country, and half of the pension is paid after the death in battle, the standard is negotiated in advance, and there are examples of what level and how much pension.
And after the matter is settled, it will also be rewarded according to the merits of the war, and this reward is still only half of the burden of each country, but as for the capture on the battlefield, it cannot be given, and it must be the military country itself.
Many conditions seem to be harsh, but if you really have to study it carefully, it is much cheaper than Song Guo, Song Guo is one-size-fits-all, and it doesn't matter if you are difficult or something.
On the other hand, the military country will take the strategy first, and whichever country will pay the money first and contribute more, then solve the problem of this country first, advance from that side, and defend its rear.
Of course, one of these conditions is that the Heavenly Saint Sect will not send too many troops, and it is impossible for them to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, without this necessity, the remuneration they give will not reach this level.
The number of troops sent by the Martial Kingdom is about 5,000 to 10,000 people, which are specially used to deal with the opponent's masters, especially in the battle of the aura level, the ancestors of each country can not take the risk to do it, but the countries have to strangle all the demon cultivators.
After half a month of hard negotiations with Nan Xuan, he basically agreed to the conditions, and Nan Xuan also sent a document to consult the other sects of the Wu Kingdom, asking if they were willing to send troops to help in the war.
However, it should be slim, for the time being, only the monks of the five factions of Danyang Sect, Tianhai Gate, Hongshan Gate, Shanhe Sect and Pure Yang Palace agreed, and it is normal for the four sects of Danyang Sect to follow the Heavenly Saint Sect, after all, the five sects have been communicating for hundreds of years, and there is a lot of contact between the high-level leaders, but the Pure Yang Palace, which is controlled by the Li family, is willing to participate in the war, which is indeed beyond Lin Xiao's expectations.
