Chapter 23 Major Decisions
After recovering the Demon Tribulation Pass, the entire Netherworld has basically stabilized. Even if there are some beast demons remaining in the pass, it will not be a climate after all. As for the few cities outside the gate, such as Wanyue City and Shadow Moon City, should they be recovered?
In this regard, two opinions have been formed. Both Chu Xiong and Youda said that those cities were originally independent of the Demon Tribulation Pass, and it was extremely difficult to garrison. Rather than staying in the Youyue Sect, it is better to defend the Demon Tribulation Pass with all your might. Moreover, the strength of the Dark Moon Sect has been greatly damaged, so how can there be any spare strength to protect more territories.
However, Mi Hong and the other hall masters thought that since those cities originally belonged to the Youyue Sect, it was reasonable to take them back at this time. Moreover, if you take advantage of the victory to pursue, you can further weaken the strength of the Great Demon of the Bitter Cold Domain in the Extreme North, allowing the sect to exchange for a longer period of stability.
At first glance, it all makes sense. Although Youda and Chu Xiong were the chief and deputy commanders of this march, this kind of major matter related to the sect's strategy had to be finalized in the form of a collegial discussion of the elder group. There is no doubt that Yuqi supports Chu Xiong. As a result, an embarrassing three-to-three vote was formed.
"In that case, then let the sect master decide!" Mi Hong said. At this time, the situation is already obvious, which side the Void Moon supports, and which side's decision will become the new order. Although the head gate still needs the elder Ji Yu, it is to no avail. Because according to the rules of the sect, one vote of the sect master is equal to two votes.
A woman is a woman after all, why can't she stand taller and see farther!) Chu Xiong sighed in his heart. As far as the three hall masters are concerned, it is undoubtedly a great honor to have greatly regained the territory, and even expanded it even more. Even thousands of years later, the history of the sect will remember these "Zhongxing" fathers.
But is it really that important to recover those places? I remember that when the moon came, these cities were easily occupied by the beast demons without even the strength to resist. These cities are said to be backed by the Demon Tribulation Pass, but in fact they are still equivalent to flying soil outside the isolated sect.
What's more, there is also the Xinghan Sect over there. And behind the Star Han Sect, there is also the Star Hidden Cave, which is claimed to be second only to the Star Soul Hall in strength. Although the Star Han Sect did not attack at this time, it was because the Youyue Sect had not yet recovered all the territory. The Star Han Sect is also tabooing the statement of the Star Soul Hall now, after all, the Heavenly Sacrifice Taijia personally said that the recovery of the territory by the Youyue Sect is a major event for the soul martial arts in the world, and no one can stab him in the back. If the Xinghan Sect braves the disapproval of the world, it is equivalent to slapping the Star Soul Hall and even Taijia in the face.
However, the Youyue Sect has already recovered the Demon Tribulation Pass. If a few more cities outside the pass are recovered, it means that the Netherworld has been completely recovered. And the time to reclaim the last city is also the time when the statement of the Star Soul Hall automatically loses its validity. When the time comes, will the Xinghan Sect make a move? And if it does it again at that time, it will no longer be a stab in the back, but just an infighting between several sects.
The internal worries have not been completely lifted, so how can we expand the territory!
This is a major military situation, and it is also a major event related to the future of the sect, and several people immediately used the Flying Eagle to report the Void Moon. Originally, Chu Xiong also had to warn Xuyue a few words, lest Xuyue make an unwise decision. But the master of the third hall looked carefully, so that he didn't have time to do anything. Because according to the rules of procedure of the Elder Body, whenever there is a major event, they are not allowed to interfere with each other in private, let alone influence the decision-making of the sect master by non-public means.
These women, I'm really afraid that they will mistake the Youyue Sect!
"Three hall masters, if the sect master really agrees with your opinion, the Great Protector and I must return to the sect. I said that if the internal worries of the sect are not eliminated for a day, I will not be at ease for a day!" Chu Xiong was worried.
However, his worried words, at this sensitive moment, were used as a kind of coercion. However, now that Chu Xiong's prestige has reached an extremely high place, even the master of the third hall is in awe and does not dare to refute it. Only the corners of the main arc of the rain hall hall, who have always been straightforward and fast-talking, rose slightly, and said: "The credit of the big guest can no longer be added, and it is normal for people to accept it when they see it." ”
"Oh, Elder Arc Han doesn't think that Chu still has selfish intentions?" Chu Xiong was helpless. In particular, the word "take it when you see it" is simply a euphemistic curse.
Arc Han turned his head slightly, looked at the endless mountains and fields outside the window, closed his eyes again, and didn't answer at all. She and the other two hall masters actually still have a bit of old qualifications. Although Chu Xiong is strong, he is a newcomer after all, and he is only a "guest".
Looking at the way Arc Han closed his eyes, Chu Xiong felt very annoyed, as if he had a taste of pretending. So, Chu Xiong got up and walked out, and said, "Whether there is selfishness or not, the sun and the moon can be seen, but I would like to inform you that although the Great Demon of the Bitter Cold Region in the Extreme North has suffered heavy casualties, it still has the strength to fight. If you really need to continue the war with them, be careful of trapped beasts. ”
"Thank you for the reminder!" Mi Hong saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, and immediately made a round.
......
Within the sect of the Youyue Sect, the void moon couldn't hide the joy in his heart. These days, she has been worried about whether the battle in the Demon Tribulation Pass is going well. It wasn't until the Great Demon Protector Tao sent Zhu Yan's demon crystal and blood essence that her hanging mood finally relaxed.
At this time, the demon crystal and blood essence had already begun to flow energy to a greater extent, and Xuyue was not polite, and immediately absorbed and devoured it in the harem, and the strength of the body naturally increased greatly. The demon crystal and blood essence of a high-grade eight-ring demon are definitely good things that can be met but not sought. Even through this absorption, she completely opened the fourth star vein and officially stepped into the realm of four-star soul martial arts!
In the huge bath, Xuyue carefully washed Ruyu's skin. The Great Goblin made her body slimy and uncomfortable. This is the third time I have washed it, and three times I have thrown flower petals in the bath.
"It's rare that Xiong still thinks about me!" Xuyue raised her head slightly, taking a deep breath in the warm steam. "It's just that, how can it be possible to have a demon soul that attacks out of the body, is it really a hidden nine-ring demon? But when he was in danger in the Tower of Babel, he didn't make a move. If it was really a Nine-Ring Heavenly Demon, why would he borrow his mother'......s power?
As the head of a sect, and having a deep relationship with Chu Xiong, Xuyue will not blindly worship like ordinary disciples. And she also felt that as her younger brother, Chu Xiong would explain this matter to herself sooner or later, and she couldn't keep thinking about guessing. Besides, the higher Chu Xiong's strength improves, the more beneficial it will be to herself and the sect.
Just when she was thinking wildly and was about to get out of the pool, suddenly a maid walked in and said cautiously: "Report to the sect master: An urgent letter has come from the Demon Tribulation Pass!"
Xuyue took the lacquered letter, looked at it and frowned. The six elders of the Demon Tribulation Pass actually had a difference of opinion over whether to continue to attack the Bitter Cold Domain in the Extreme North. Now that the strength of the Youyue Sect has increased greatly, Chu Xiong has such a strong strength, and Youda has also been promoted to the Eight-Ring Great Demon, and the only eight-ring Great Demon on the other side, Zhu Yan, has died. How can such a good situation be abandoned halfway?
But what gave Xuyue a headache was that it was Chu Xiong and Youda who opposed the continued attack! Today's Chu Xiong and Youda are the absolute strength of the sect, and they are also the pillars of the sect. The opinions of the two of them play an extremely important role.
In Xuyue's opinion, there was a reason why Youda was reluctant to continue the pursuit. After all, the bitter cold region of the far north is the hometown of Youda, and Youda herself is also a big demon. She has a little anti-war sentiment, which is completely understandable. However, Chu Xiong, you don't have any connection with the Bitter Cold Region of the Extreme North. Do you disapprove of continuing to march into the army, is it just to take into account the feelings of the enchantment? If you neglect the major affairs of the sect for the sake of your children's personal feelings, you really shouldn't be.
Xuyue pondered for a moment, immediately got up and dressed, and wrote a reply letter with a pen-
"Bravely chasing the poor and leveling the demon domain can lay the foundation for hundreds of years of stability for the sect in one fell swoop. I hope that all the elders will be sincerely united, take the great cause of the sect as their own responsibility, and move forward with one heart...... In addition, the body of the first sect master was quickly moved back to the sect. ”
However, she felt that there were some shortcomings. In this way, will Chu Xiong be unhappy because his opinion is denied? First, he is the backbone of the sect, and secondly, he is his younger brother, don't let him have too many negative emotions, right? So, Xuyue brushed and wrote another letter, but it was addressed to Chu Xiong alone.
......
At the end of the Demon Tribulation, Chu Xiong, Youda and Yuqi stood side by side, looking at the boundless land outside the pass, and his mood was a little heavy.
In the afternoon, the sect sent a letter from Xuyue, still supporting the opinion of the master of the third hall. Holding Xuyue's private message to himself, Chu Xiong smiled bitterly. The letter reads as follows:
"My brother personally enlightened: Fighting for days, there was a lot of hard work, breaking the demons, killing Zhu Yan, and collecting demons, and the credit was huge. Now that there is a brother, the sister can be at ease...... But why did you abandon the opportunity and stop? In one fell swoop, he leveled the demon domain, opened up a hundred generations of business, and made immortal achievements, isn't it the work of a great husband?...... In addition, Zhu is tired of demon crystals and blood essence, and he is worried. ”
said a lot, nothing more than to comfort Chu Xiong. Although some care and gratitude also came from Xuyue's heart, it could also be seen that Xuyue still had some small opinions about Chu Xiong's stagnation. However, the affection between the lines of the sister and brother made Chu Xiong unable to say anything.
Xuyue is a good hand at governing the sect, and he also has a set of controls over his subordinates and the people around him, but his vision is still not far enough for the time being. Chu Xiong sighed.
"So what are we going to do?" Yuqi asked. In fact, she didn't care about what she pursued or stopped, as long as Chu Xiong was in favor of something, she would approve of it, and she would oppose what Chu Xiong opposed, and she had no opinion at all. And the impact of the two decisions on the future of the sect, she is even more lazy to ask. It was nothing more than seeing that Chu Xiong was a little anxious, so she interjected. "In my opinion, if you don't want to go, don't go, what can the sect master do with you! Anyway, she can't beat us, hey!"
"It's okay not to always think about violence when considering problems!" Chu Xiong said with a smile and a smile, "The resolution of this kind of major matter is, firstly, the opinion of the elder group, and secondly, it is also the order of the new sect master. Now that the Youyue Sect was in the beginning of the chaos, the deterrent power had been greatly reduced. If I take the lead in disobeying again, the Sect Master and the Elders will be even more discredited. For the sect, this is also a huge kill!"
"So, do you want to pursue it?" said the enchant, taking a deep breath, seemingly apprehensive. If Chu Xiong's reluctance to continue the pursuit was due to the sect's long-term plans, then Enchanting was another reason.
As the great protector of the sect, it is her duty to protect the stability of the sect. Therefore, in the face of the attack of the beast demon on the Youyue Sect, she was obliged to wield her sword and fight bloodily. However, if she took the initiative to chase and slaughter, it would be another feeling. Her sword was unwilling to be stained with the blood of innocent beasts. Just as humans treat ordinary residents, in the eyes of Enchant, ordinary beasts are actually no different from residents. Outside today's Demon Tribulation Pass, there are not many truly ferocious demons, most of them are ordinary demons, or even ordinary beasts.
"Let's pursue!" Chu Xiong said and turned around, never looking outside the gate again.
