Chapter 866: Mixed Blessings
Lu Yi saw that everyone present was a little moved, from the expression, some people were stunned, some people were surprised, and some people were expressionless, Lu Yi had a general idea in his heart, his statement still had a certain market, he continued without waiting for anyone to ask further questions, "Everyone, although I proposed to withdraw, I didn't want to let go of this group of vicious shape-shifting demon beasts. โ
"Oh, white boy, don't you speak and pant for breath, okay, if you have any ideas, you should say them all at once, the province is always shocked." "Daiki Ancestor is the main battle faction, he is bent on avenging his old friend, so when Lu Yi proposed to retreat, his heart was unhappy and unwilling, originally he also had some opinions about Lu Yi because of this, but he didn't want Lu Yi to have anything to say, he was very angry at Lu Yi's spitting and spitting, and opened his mouth to complain.
"Hehe, this time, our Cloud Extinguishing Alliance mobilized the crowd and invited heroes from all over the world, originally wanting to do a vigorous and vigorous thing to eliminate harm for the people, but the opponent was so cunning and insidious, he never gave us a chance to go head-to-head, and now he is in a stalemate with us by virtue of his geographical advantages. If we blindly attack by force, we may not be able to achieve certain results in the end, but after all, the geographical advantage is not on our side, and no one can guarantee that we will not suffer any losses because of this. In comparison, it is more dangerous and unpredictable, if we take a step back, let's withdraw from this place for the time being, and then gather everyone's strength to seal this place, and then let the array mage arrange a clever killing array to trap this group of shape-shifting demon beasts here, if they want to leave, they can only go through the underground dark river, everyone knows that the underground dark river is not a good place to go, the situation in the dark river is more complicated, and I don't know how far the next exit will be. When will they come to the surface, our mental power is suppressed here, and they may not be much better in the water, if they really want to slip away through the underground river, they will definitely have to take a lot of trouble, maybe they will suffer a little loss. Rather than spend it here, we might as well catch turtles in the urn and completely block them. In case they have no other way out, and we bring in more powerful help in the future, it will not be too late for everyone to turn back and take revenge. "Lu Yi has made the calculation in his heart completely clear, hmph, can't I catch you? Since I can't catch you, then don't think about running away easily, master, I'll seal you here, see what you do.
I have to say that Lu Yi's idea is the most practical so far, in this way, first, we can save everyone's face, although we returned empty-handed, but the shape-shifting demon beasts did not get the benefit but were blocked from the way out, and secondly, the alliance side also left behind, in case there are more powerful people in the future, you can also let them enter this place to track this group of demon beasts, for this kind of demon beasts that hate human monks, there will be no one who is merciful, after all, killing them will get a lot of benefits, and they can also earn a good reputation, which can be described as a good thing for fame and fortuneใ
Therefore, when Lu Yi finished expressing his opinion in one breath, everyone was silent again. These words have already reached the hearts of most people, and now it is up to the key leaders to take a stand.
After a long time, Dongfang Yulong spoke, "Everyone, since we are here together, we must be in the same boat, please speak openly and honestly if you have any ideas." The old man listened to Bai Xiaozi's words just now, and there is no good way now, unless you have any good plan, we can force this group of beasts out of the decisive battle now, otherwise we can only do this. โ
"I think the White Boy's proposal is good, but I think we need to make a few more seals, starting with this dark lake, then sealing the hole, and finally sealing the entire valley, so that these beasts will not be able to escape and die alive. Daiki Ancestor also knew that he couldn't do anything, but the evil anger in his chest couldn't be vented, so he added to Lu Yi's proposal.
"Well, so much the better!" chimed in.
Soon, this proposal was passed, and while everyone was on guard, Dongfang Yulong sent a summons to the monks guarding the outside, asking them to come in and join everyone before arranging the seal.
In the dark lake, on an inconspicuous piece of broken wood, a toad monster beast with almost the same color as wood and only the size of a fingernail is lying quietly, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference between broken wood and toad, even if the spiritual power sweeps, if you don't have a strong spiritual power strength that reaches the tenth order, you can't detect it at all. At this moment, the little toad was staring viciously at everyone on the shore, especially the white-haired boy.
"Hmph! Last time, I felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this kid and that girl, but I didn't expect that girl to hide such a powerful soul distraction, which almost caused me to suffer, and although this kid didn't move, it made me feel more dangerous. This time I finally understood, it turned out that this kid's mind was extremely vicious, and his stomach was full of bad water, and he was able to come up with such a cruel method, and he wanted to trap me here to death. I'm afraid you're going to miscalculate this time, but there's something else under this dark lake, and it's not as sinister as you think. There are a lot of you this time, I will spare you for the time being, but again and again, I have already given you two chances, and if I see you again next time, I will have to eat you alive!"
The toad slowly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared, and soon, the array mages and monks outside also rushed to the lake, according to what everyone thought before, a group of people worked in full swing, and it took more than fifty days to finally seal the dark lake, the passage, the entrance to the crypt and the three outer layers of the entire valley. This time the demon slaying operation was at the cost of the loss of a seventh-order high-grade magic weapon in Na Si Xi, which can be regarded as an end, and the two sides have been tossing and turning for a long time, and no one has been able to achieve their respective goals.
However, to put it mildly, this time the alliance side is not without gains, and their gains are in people. Because of this Deepavali Conference, many high-level monks who were originally hidden in various cities of the alliance have surfaced, and through the joint cooperation in these days, they have also become familiar with each other and established a certain emotional foundation, and many monks have accepted the invitation of various forces in the alliance or expressed their willingness to join the alliance for common development in an independent capacity. This demon beast was not killed, and the revenge was not avenged, but it brought in more high-level monks, which was also a great harvest for the alliance, and this time, the strength of the alliance grew again.
After returning to Extinguishing Cloud City again, the alliance fulfilled the reward to every monk who participated in the Demon Deeper Conference according to its previous promise, and because of the loss of a seventh-order high-grade magic weapon in Sixi, the Elders Association specially compensated him with a good seventh-order high-grade water magic weapon, and Sixi was also very satisfied with this, although he did not join the alliance, he also said that as long as the alliance needed him in the future, he would be on call.
Lu Yi brought back the two mid-stage Soul Building monks he had brought back, and in addition to Venerable Qingluo, there was also a mid-stage Soul Building monk from a small city in an alliance who also volunteered to join the Freedom Alliance. This monk's name is Gongsun Qi, and he has lived in seclusion for more than 500 years in that small city with a population of only a hundred thousand, and the biggest power in that small city is only a small family, and the highest cultivator in the family is a monk in the early stage of spiritual building. Gongsun Qi is trying to see that there is nothing right or wrong in this small town, and his life is clean, so that he can do his own thing without being disturbed. After so many years of retreat, Gongsun Pan completed a systematic practice in magic, and just heard the news of the Demon Deeper Conference at this time, he wanted to take this opportunity to test his cultivation results over the years, but he didn't want to but didn't have the opportunity to really make a move, but because he was in a group with Lu Yi and they communicated more, several people talked very speculatively, and under Lu Yi's repeated invitations, he finally chose to join the Xiaoyao League.
Lu Yi returned to Xiaoyao City, but he was greeted by a man in brocade with a sad face, Lu Yi originally received two strong reinforcements and was very interested, but when he saw the appearance of the man in brocade, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and hurriedly asked the other party what bad things happened.
The next words of the Master Jinyi were indeed like a basin of cold water, which poured Lu Yi's enthusiasm through his heart.
Jinyi said: "A few days after you left, I received a summons from another Great Elder in the middle stage of the Alliance, he said that he had discovered a trace of opportunity, and he had been pursuing it all these years, and finally let him determine one thing, he needed to go to the Western Regions, this time, it is likely to be a test of life and death, and it is impossible to have any results without a thousand eight hundred years, so he told me that he really can't take care of it in the short term." But he also said that he is still a member of the Xiaoyao Alliance, if he can successfully pass this test, the Xiaoyao Alliance still exists, and he will come back to continue to help the development of the Xiaoyao League; โ
This just recruited two mid-stage cultivators, but lost one that originally existed, which really made Lu Yi feel that there was such an awkwardness in his heart, could it be that he couldn't keep people as the leader of the alliance? It seems that his personal charm is not enough! Lu Yi did not show any displeasure, and ordered the Master of Jinyi to keep all the offerings to the great elder who had run away unchanged over the years, so that he could collect them when he came back in the future. He also introduced the newly joined two to the Venerable Jinyi, and asked him to convey them to the others in the alliance, and he took the two to his residence, intending to consolidate his relationship with the two again.
