Chapter 120: The Northern Hub
At this point in the meeting, the atmosphere was solemn and dreary again.
Everyone's brows in the hall were deeply locked, and their minds were racing quickly, thinking about what else they could do to get greater benefits.
But thinking about it, it's like a mouse pulling a turtle, and there's no way to do it.
The city of Utan was like a hedgehog, and everyone couldn't help but force their hands to reach out and catch the hedgehog.
Because of one carelessness, it is nothing if I am injured, but what I am most afraid of is that the entire sect will be completely razed to the ground by the anger of the other party.
"It seems that we have only one way to go." Someone sighed helplessly.
The tone is full of reluctance!
"Yes, the lockdown that has lasted for nearly two months, how much manpower and material resources have been wasted, and in the end, nothing has been gained." The other old man also sighed.
"Are we just going to let the benefits slip out of our hands?" Someone said reluctantly.
"And what are you going to do?" Cao Yun stood up and said loudly, "You should understand why Utan City sent envoys to some imperial sects to give some benefits to these empires...... Weak sects? It's not that we blocked the news and made them dissatisfied, so we haven't even established a small shopping mall in the central domain, and we haven't even sent an envoy over, don't you still think clearly? At that time, I didn't approve of the news of the blockade of Utan City, and I didn't know that I was not a human being on both sides, but now I know the bitterness! ”
"Didn't you approve of it in the end? The news of the blockade of Utan City with us has even detained some merchants at the border. Someone asked loudly, "Now it's our fault, huh!" ”
"Most of your sects agree, what else can we do with the 'Heavy Earth Sect'? Can only cooperate. Cao Yun also shouted loudly and retorted.
"I'm afraid that my interests will be damaged!" The man said with disdain in his tone.
"Okay, okay, let's come and discuss, it's not for you to quarrel, and I'm not afraid to make jokes, we're grasshoppers on a rope now, and no one can run away." The lean-faced old man on the throne interrupted with a wave of his hand and glared fiercely.
Cao Yun sat down angrily.
"Deputy Sect Master Lin Yang, we gathered together in this virtual world today, this is someone else's territory after all, is it appropriate to say such a thing?" At the end of the table, someone stood up and said, "After all, this is someone else's place, and the other party may also hear the content clearly in this meeting we started, and when the time comes, the time will ......."
"What you said, I don't know, first, because the matter is urgent, you also know the speed of the other party's treasure ship, we don't have time to wait, second, we are also open negotiations, if we unanimously agree to intercept, it is also to show our attitude, let the other party know our mind, understand?" The thin old man's eyes flickered, and he said in a conclusive manner.
The sect master, who stood up to speak at the end of the table, nodded, then did not speak again, sat back, and continued to choose to watch.
There are strong and weak sects, and some sects at the bottom of the row just follow the orders of powerful sects.
Although each of their sects here is taken out of the outside, in the entire northern region, it is an existence that can destroy a powerful empire with the power of one era, but in the central region, it is nothing.
The strong people in the central domain are like clouds, even if they are weak, there are many Dou Sects, and even Dou Zun powerhouses.
It's just that in terms of ranking, it's just that it can't compare to the top 100 sects.
"What should we do now, if it continues like this in the future, those imperial sects that are not the central domain will not need to be too long with the help of Utan City, and they will have to climb on our heads in a hundred years." Someone worried.
"Don't worry too much, those empires are just agents, and they can only sell those low-level commodities in their own empires, and if you want to rely on these low-level commodities to gather wealth beyond our sects, you can't surpass them for thousands of years." Someone comforted.
"You'd be wrong to think so." Cao Yun stood up and said: "Yes, the commodity class of their agent Utan City is low, but the quantity is also large, and at the same time, Utan City also promised to help them build fast trains, with trains of that speed, travel has become faster, and the festival is also speeding up, how much time do mercenary adventurers save from difficult to north, from east to west?" How much cargo resources can be obtained by saving time? Besides, when the transportation of each empire region is fully built, how long will it take for the specialties of their empire to go to another empire? Bringing over specialties that are not available elsewhere, earning more wealth, and then increasing national strength, and so on, the accumulation of wealth is too fast. ”
Cao Yun explained this, and everyone was shocked.
Yes, the speed of that train is terrible, an empire with a radius of thousands of miles, it doesn't take 1 hour to run a few round-trips, and the speed of freight has greatly accelerated the circulation.
Call a table of wine in one empire and take it to another empire, it is estimated that the dishes are still hot, how can this be done!
"Since Utan City can come up with many treasures, and it is clear that we are not afraid of being greedy, in fact, I really didn't approve of the news of blockading Utan City before, but many sects here agreed that the blockade could get more, so my sect could only follow." Cao Yun said with a solemn expression: "And now, things have come to this point, we can't make mistakes again and again, when the time comes, the other party will be angry, I'm afraid that it will be out of control, you think about it, since the other party is going to Zhongzhou to develop, and reveal these news, then Zhongzhou is as strong as a cloud, and the other party is not afraid, what is our hundred sects in the northern central region?" The other party didn't care about us before, probably because he didn't want to pay attention to us, but now that the other party is going to Zhongzhou to inform me of the news, it is already a very polite warning. ”
Hiss!
Cao Yun's words reminded everyone here of the fact that others don't even care much about the places where there are many strong people in Zhongzhou, to be honest, it is really a bit unwise for others to block the news.
Although I thought very well before, I blocked the news of Utan City and occupied all the benefits, but in fact, it also caused dissatisfaction on the side of Utan City.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of interests.
After all, the auction in Utan City even has Douzun-level energy liquid, who doesn't want the sect to be strong, when it is strong to a certain point, and then occupy some territory in Zhongzhou and develop and grow.
"Okay, now that everyone is clear about the relationship of interests, let's vote, and if there are more than 51 votes in favor, we will intercept it, otherwise we will receive it and let it go." The old man on the throne said in a solemn tone: "Everyone think carefully before voting, so as not to let your sect fall into disaster." ”
The thin old man's words, the vague meaning in them is very clear, and they all indicate that everyone should vote against.
At the end of the meeting, everyone was naturally happy, and all the people present voted against it, not in favor of intercepting the trip to Zhongzhou of the mysterious young master of Utan City.
After a variety of analyses, who can ignore the danger of the destruction of the sect and be stunned to intercept the other party and not let them pass through the space channel!
That's not much different from looking for death.
……………………
Above the Douqi Continent at an altitude of nearly a million kilometers, a huge silver spaceship of 5,000 meters was traveling at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second.
In the spaceship, Cheng Buyun and the others each closed their eyes to cultivate, and even Xiao Zhan was immersed in the virtual world, practicing fighting skills inside.
That's right, less than a first-order life can't cultivate the artistic conception and comprehend the law, but the fighting skills can be cultivated, and even cultivated to the holy realm.
The holy realm of fighting skills can be divided into many layers, with mountains, earth, and even rivers and other artistic conceptions.
"Brother, here, after a month's journey, we have arrived at Biyun City in the Central Domain." Little Red screamed in the spaceship's control room.
Wright Buyun, Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Xun'er woke up one after another, and the latter two were naturally notified by Xiaohong in the virtual world.
"We're here?" Xiao Xun'er was stunned and said: "This time flies so fast, and before I know it, it is a month." ”
No wonder it is said that there are no years for cultivation, and a retreat is a few years.
Before, she didn't have such a concept, but after lifting the step-by-step cloud, she had a deeper understanding of cultivation, and if she wanted to be strong, she needed the support of the realm, whether it was fighting skills or laws, when the realm was there, the strength would naturally be even stronger.
Take an earth-attribute fighting skill as an example, you only learn to learn, no matter how proficient you are, at most you can also integrate it, and you can only exert the full power of the fighting skill, but when you have the artistic conception of the earth or even the mountains, the earth-attribute fighting skill can exert many times the power.
The attack is greatly enhanced, and the opponent's fighting skills can only be twice as powerful, but you have an artistic conception, but you can surpass or even several times the power, not to mention this intensity, everyone knows that this is not a 1 plus 1 thing.
"Yes, we have arrived, and below is the center of the central domain, Biyun City, that is, the city guarded by the strong and well-fitted." With a wave of her hand, the spaceship simulated the ground situation under a million kilometers, a very prosperous city with a radius of about three hundred kilometers.
The Little Red Queen began to land from a high altitude.
Green Cloud City Central ......
It can be said that Biyun is the dominant family, and it is the strongest sect in the entire central domain, because the sect master in their sect is a Dou Sheng, and on the bright side, even if it is a hostile sect, they have to be polite.
"This Utan City is a mysterious young master, why has it been so long, and there is no news? It stands to reason that it should have arrived a long time ago. In the City Lord's Mansion, several elders of the Biyun Sect were sitting in the hall, and an old man with black and white hair and wearing a gorgeous robe said.
"yes, since a month ago...... It's been 32 days, and there hasn't been any news from the 38 long-distance spatial passages in the Central Domain, even from the segmented spatial passages in other places, and there is no news at all, this ......," said a red-faced man with a face like Guan Gong, pulling his beard and frowning.
I am full of puzzlement, what the hell is this.
Since the news has been released, there has been no news for nearly a month, isn't this a trick.
"Do you remember the news from Utan City before?" The old man with white hair like silk, a bun on his head, and a gray coat moved in his heart, and guessed: "In front of the City Lord's Mansion in Utan City, didn't it say that there were many people who had seen the mysterious young master, but when everyone said that they had forgotten his appearance, you said, will that person make this hand again?" ”
"You forgot, our 32 long-distance air and space passages have not been released, how can they be passed? Even if you forget his appearance, you can't even know that people have passed such things. The red-faced old man with a face like Guan Gong retorted.
"I can't tell, since you don't even remember your appearance, how do you know the other party's methods?" The white-haired old man shook his head.
Everyone frowned, it's not impossible.
Suddenly, a young man in a blue robe hurriedly ran into the hall, looked at the old men sitting, and immediately bowed, not caring about saying anything else, but immediately said: "Elders, above the sky, there is an item that looks like a treasure ship descending from the sky towards our Biyun City, and Deacon Cao, who is on duty, asked me to report to the elders, and ask the elders to make a decision quickly." ”
"What, there's a treasure ship in the sky?" The red-faced old man immediately asked, "How big is the treasure ship?" Is it a very wide treasure ship about 5,000 meters? ”
"Elder Tan, because the distance is too high, we can't see it really, but compared with the distant high-altitude distance, and then compare the shape of the treasure ship, it doesn't look small, Deacon Cao is estimated to be the treasure ship piloted by the mysterious young master of Utan City." The blue-robed young man replied.
"I guess so, I haven't heard of a treasure ship that can fly outside the space channel, it should be that person, quickly, you immediately go and notify the deputy sect master, the ten elders and others, hurry, the speed must be fast." The red-faced old man immediately commanded.
The blue-robed young man listened to the elder's tone of mind, and immediately turned around and ran out.
"Bo Yi, you go and inform all the ordinary elders, where is the deputy sect master and the ten elders and others, we will notify you." The white-haired old man shouted loudly, and then his figure moved and ran out of the hall.
The three elders rushed out of the hall and immediately rushed towards the deeper part of the City Lord's Mansion.
Soon they came to a heavily guarded area, and to the greetings of the guards, the three of them rushed through a door.
This is a small space secret realm, which can only be opened and built by the strong Dou Sheng, and it is also the last means of defense for Biyun Zong.
This space secret realm is not very big, the radius is about 10,000 kilometers, it can be seen that the strength of the people who built this space secret realm is not very good.
The three elders flew in the space secret realm at the fastest speed in their lives, and in a while, they arrived at the cultivation place of the deputy sect master and the others.
"Report to Deputy Sect Master Lin, that mysterious young master of Utan City has piloted the treasure ship and reached the sky above our Biyun City." The red-faced old man didn't care about etiquette and shouted loudly in front of the cave.
"What? Came to us, after more than a month? The figure flickered, and an old man with a thin face appeared in front of the cave mansion, looked at the red-faced old man and said, "Can you notify the deputy sect master of Han Pao and the ten elders?" ”
"Yin Shan and Scaly Dragon have already gone to inform." The red-faced old man reported respectfully.
"Let's go!" The thin old man came to the square and waited, and when everyone arrived, he didn't care about saying anything, he immediately unfolded his figure and rushed towards the exit of the secret realm of space.
