Chapter 821: The Storm Changes
Half a year after the Wasabi Ancestor and his entourage left Extinguishing Cloud City, representatives of all the forces of the Extinguishing Cloud Alliance gathered in the Extinguishing Cloud Temple and held the first meeting of the alliance. This conference was completely aimed at the Cloud Cliff Pavilion, and all the forces participating in the meeting were required to send the real powerful figures among the forces. At the meeting, there were two late-stage powerhouses of the Spirit Burning City who had not appeared for many years, and the discerning people understood at a glance that this was to stabilize the morale of the army and at the same time demonstrate to the side of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion.
After the conference began, the elder group originally formed by the Cloud Extinguishing City Great Alliance shared the silk brocade that was read out when the Cloud Cliff Pavilion came last time according to the original text with all the delegates, although after half a year, many forces already knew about the rude performance of the three mustard ancestors last time, but after listening to the content of the domineering silk brocade, they were still angry. Of course, it is not known how much of this is sincere and how much is fake.
As the first to form an alliance with Extinguishing Cloud City, the Xiaoyao Alliance is also the closest force to go, and the twin cities are sister cities, so the statement of the alliance leader Lu Yi at the conference is also very important and has attracted much attention. Lu Yi and the Master in Jinyi appeared at the conference in a very low-key manner, which is still a bit eye-catching compared to the other forces that are basically spiritual monks, and those who know the details think that their Xiaoyao Alliance is low-key, and at the same time, they deliberately highlight the status of the alliance leader of the white-haired Dan God, and those who don't understand it still think that the talents of the Xiaoyao Alliance are withering. However, this does not mean that the strength of the Xiaoyao Alliance is really weaker than other forces, on the contrary, in terms of the comprehensive strength of the Xiaoyao Alliance, although the strength of the Xiaoyao Alliance is not ranked among the top few in the entire Grand Alliance, it will not be outside the top ten, but it has always been low-key, and it belongs to the kind of invisible powerhouse. Therefore, when Lu Yi, on behalf of the Alliance, expressed his stance that he would unconditionally safeguard the achievements that everyone had worked hard to achieve, and would not allow any behavior that harmed the interests of all, and proposed that he would not hesitate to resort to force to safeguard the common interests of the alliance, it was also approved and resonated by the representatives of many forces. The various forces present at the meeting expressed their views and raised their own concerns. The Elders of the Alliance also announced that this matter is not trivial, and it can give everyone a chance to reconsider their choice, whether to share the same hatred with the Alliance, face all possible challenges, or choose to withdraw, please think twice and make a clear attitude two days later.
As a matter of fact, many forces have already studied the fact that they were able to attend the conference this time, and some of them came to watch the development of the situation, while others came to further strengthen their ties, and only a very small number of forces came to oppose the meeting for one reason or another. Sure enough, on the third day, when the conference continued, many forces expressed their desire to stand firmly with the alliance to share glory and disgrace, and some forces proposed that after a period of contact with the alliance, they felt that their side was not suitable for the development policy of the alliance, and proposed to withdraw, but from beginning to end, no force expressed that they wanted to fall to the side of Yunya Pavilion. Everyone is not stupid, they can see it very clearly in terms of surface strength, Extinguishing Cloud City is a behemoth outside the transcendent thing, and for many years, even the most authoritative alliance in the mainland has not been able to intervene, and its heritage is bound to be profound, although the strength of Cloud Cliff Pavilion has been extremely extraordinary every time it has appeared in the public eye since its establishment, but it seems that it is still so much worse than Extinguishing Cloud City, and moreover, Cloud Cliff Pavilion is too mysterious, and its style of action is also a little confusing, so naturally after a little thought, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are distinguished. Of course, there shouldn't be many people in this who know the true strength of Cloud Cliff Pavilion, let alone the ambition of Cloud Cliff Pavilion, what everyone can see is just the appearance.
The first plenary meeting of the Extinguishing Cloud Alliance ended, and after the meeting, the Elders of the Alliance spoke to the outside world: The Grand Alliance headed by Extinguishing Cloud City once again reaffirmed that the purpose of this alliance is to develop together, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and improve their ability to protect themselves in turmoil, and welcome like-minded people with lofty ideals and various forces to join. At the same time, the alliance is not afraid of things, and anyone who tries to challenge the majesty of the alliance will be regarded as an enemy of the alliance, and those who violate our alliance will also be attacked and retaliated against by the alliance.
Almost at the same time, there was also an astonishing news from the Cloud Cliff Pavilion: the Cloud Cliff Pavilion claimed to have a range of 30,000 li outward with the Cloud Cliff Mountain Range as the center as its sphere of influence, and all large and small cities, towns, villages and even scattered households within this range were included in its jurisdiction, and all the affairs in this area were handled by the Cloud Cliff Pavilion in a unified manner, and the Cloud Cliff Pavilion also formulated a series of rules for various daily affairs that the people in the area were required to abide by. The Cloud Cliff Pavilion proposed that the deadline be one month, and all the people and forces who thought that they could not accept the management of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion must take the initiative to move out of their sphere of influence within one month, otherwise they would be deemed to have accepted the conditions of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion. If the January period arrives and someone questions or disrupts the order, it will be severely attacked by the Cloud Cliff Pavilion.
As soon as this news came out, not only the Cloud Extinguishing Alliance, but also the various forces in the entire Eastern Continent were also in an uproar. Because although there have always been many large and small forces in the Eastern Regions, there is a principle between the various forces - only control densely populated towns, and no force has ever classified the wilderness as its own. Even if there are many countries in the Eastern Regions, there are also shadows of large and small forces behind the countries, but their territory is only nominal, as long as they do not rob people and set fire to their homes and houses in the towns, no one will care under normal circumstances, and even if some towns do not have any rules at all, it is a common phenomenon, and some places need to ask the alliance to come forward to maintain order and provide shelter. This time, the Cloud Cliff Pavilion's approach is a precedent, according to the rules they announced, in their sphere of influence, as long as they want to take care of it, all your actions such as eating, drinking, Lazar, and sleeping must be approved by them, which is obviously a bit excessive.
As a result, the few forces around the Cloud Cliff Pavilion that had joined the alliance were also affected, and what to do became a difficult problem in front of these forces. For example, Huixing City, I don't know if it is intentional by Yunya Pavilion, within its demarcated sphere of influence, it just covers the outer area of Huixing City, and it is only less than a hundred miles away from wrapping Huixing City, so that Huixing City is bound to be affected a lot in terms of daily life. The last conflict between Huixing City and the Cloud Cliff Pavilion made them suffer a lot of vitality and at the same time, they were afraid of the sequelae of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion, so after the Cloud Cliff Pavilion put forward the idea of this sphere of influence this time, they immediately found the Elders of the Alliance to ask for the opinion of the Elders.
For this move of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion, the Cloud Extinguishing Alliance was also a little at a loss, and it was the first time they had encountered such a problem, because the Cloud Cliff Pavilion was a little close to the Alliance, and this move of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion was actually a provocation to the Alliance's side to a large extent. In view of the fact that the other party does not have any substantive actions now, and it is not easy for the alliance to take the initiative to attack to defeat the truth, in the end, the alliance elders unanimously decided to let Huixing City and several other forces adopt a restrained attitude, as long as the other party does not make trouble, let them toss.
The deadline given by Yunya Pavilion is really a bit short, and for a while in its demarcated sphere of influence, some timid people have moved out, some have waited and seen, and some have self-contained strength and disagree. The outside world has also paid more attention to this mysterious Cloud Cliff Pavilion to see if they are bluffing? Of course, I was thinking more about how to deal with them in the future, or whether I would learn from their practices and build a similar territory by myself.
Lu Yi returned to Xiaoyao City after the meeting, there was no movement, he put all his energy on building his new residence in Xiaoyao City, this is a large mansion covering an area of thousands of zhang, there are four three-storey small buildings divided into four directions of the compound, in the middle of the courtyard is a rockery, thirty zhang high, around the rockery is a circular waterway with a width of only five zhang, and the periphery of the waterway is a medicine garden with a radius of three hundred zhang. The entire house was designed by Lu Yi himself, and the construction materials were all high-grade materials above the sixth order. The outermost courtyard wall as high as three zhang is arranged with a clever sixth-order defensive array, which is built by the formation master of the well-known business name Jin Yulou in the mainland with high salaries, this person was originally to help Jin Yulou build the outer wall of the share of the intercity corridor, but because the Jin Yulou won a large lot this time, the materials are not very good for a while, so it was temporarily idle, after Lu Yi learned, he personally came to the door to promise a lot of money, and then borrowed people temporarily, when the other party arranged the magic circle, Lu Yi was also very polite to accompany the whole process, on the surface it seems that he is doing his best to the friendship of the landlord, but in fact he is stealing the teacher to observe and learn the uniqueness of others in the formation。 Each of the four small buildings is ten zhang high, each small building is arranged with different means of attack, engraved with an attack array, and the ranks are also six orders, which can be self-contained to attack the outside, and the formation of the four small buildings was purchased by Lu Yi through different ways and built by different people, independent of each other, and the attack methods are also different. The point is not here, these are just superficial articles, the real unknown means of this house are still in the medicine garden and rockery. There is a poisonous array taught to Lu Yi by the cave fairy hidden in the medicine garden, such means are not perceptible to ordinary people, the rockery is hollow, and the inside is where Lu Yi used to retreat, and the entire rockery itself has been arranged by Lu Yi with more than a dozen means, which completely covers the strongest offensive and defensive measures that Lu Yi can do.
Through all kinds of unexpected things that Lu Yi experienced during this time, especially the fright brought to Lu Yi by the Mustard Ancestor, Lu Yi suddenly felt that he was not safe, and he had to create a place where he was completely at ease, so as to better protect himself in this changing situation.
