Chapter 824: Heart-to-heart
It was late at night, but the Cloud Extinguishing Temple was brightly lit at the moment, and in a large reception room on the second floor, there were more than one hundred and fifty monks sitting at the moment, half of them were spiritual cultivators, and the rest of the lowest were in the late sixth order, Lu Yi and Daiki Ancestor were there.
"Everyone, the Cloud Cliff Pavilion has been going on for a long time recently, especially the construction of the city, it is obvious that it is aimed at our alliance, what do you think about this?" Dongfang Yulong is presiding over today's alliance joint meeting, this meeting convened the heads of all the forces of the alliance and some spiritual monks who joined the alliance as scattered people, the specifications are much higher than the last alliance conference, this time, the alliance side is really feeling the crisis.
"I think that the Cloud Cliff Pavilion has been planning for a long time, even longer than we established an alliance, but they should not be fully prepared, they didn't expect us to engage in this alliance, and they did what they originally wanted to do, so they couldn't wait to jump out. "The one who spoke was Hu Jinhai, an ancestor-level figure of the Hu family, the largest family in the largest family in Xuanming City, a medium-sized city fifty thousand miles away from Extinguishing Cloud City.
"Lao nonsense is reasonable, you must know that if you want to build such a large-scale city, it will take decades or even hundreds of years for preliminary inspection and exploration, and it will take even longer to set a plan and prepare materials and materials. "This time it was another Venerable Master who had been cultivating in the hidden world of Ming Ming City, who was cultivating in the early stage of soul building.
"Which of you still has anything to do with the Cloud Cliff Pavilion? Can you tell me what the current strength of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion is? They dare to boast that Haikou wants to build such a big city alone, it's not that I will destroy everyone's morale, even if we build such a city with the strength of the alliance, although it can't be completed, but it also needs to hurt the muscles and bones. Could it be that they are so rich in the Cloud Cliff Pavilion?" another spiritual monk spoke.
"A few years ago, when I went to the Chaos Sea to practice, I met a Cloud Cliff Pavilion monk of the same level as me, this person is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has a lot of excellent skills, when I killed a seventh-order sea beast with him, I could obviously feel that I was not his opponent, I chatted with him later, he said that people like him in their sect are only at the middle and lower level, but such a mid-level seventh-order monk can be regarded as the upper level among our forces, right?" The one who spoke was a mid-seventh rank cultivator, and everyone was thoughtful when they heard this.
Of course, everyone's opinions are not unanimous, for example, a mid-stage monk of the Shi family on the side of Extinguishing Cloud City said that although the Cloud Cliff Pavilion is now shouting to build a city, but if it is really to be actually operated, it is impossible to form it without a hundred years, even if it is the intercity corridor of just three hundred miles between Extinguishing Cloud City and Xiaoyao City, it will take nearly thirty years from the establishment to the full occupancy on the right track, and this is still the case of the concerted efforts of the major merchants. Cloud Cliff Rui City is such a large city, and it is built exclusively by their Cloud Cliff Pavilion, so the top priority of the Cloud Extinguishing Alliance is not to be disturbed by the other party, but also to focus on developing itself, and strive to raise the alliance's own strength to a considerable height before the Cloud Cliff Rui City is really established, so that it can compete with the other party, and even firmly control the position of the regional core in the hands of the alliance before the other party is fully completed.
In this way, the topic quickly unfolded, and many people expressed their opinions or shared some past experiences about Cloud Cliff Pavilion, and various different opinions were also displayed in front of everyone.
Lu Yi has been quietly listening to everyone's opinions as an observer. When the Mustard Ancestor met with him alone, he had said that he wanted to make some moves to help him establish his prestige in the alliance, and then there was the matter of Cloud Cliff Pavilion demarcating the sphere of influence, Lu Yi thought that Cloud Cliff Pavilion might use to create friction and disputes, and then solve these problems by himself, in this way to achieve his goal. Lu Yi was thinking at that time that his cultivation and other aspects were not enough for that level, even if he relied on the Danshu, he didn't seem to be qualified, and if the Cloud Cliff Pavilion created contradictions, he wouldn't be able to play much of a role at all, so he didn't understand some of the practices of the Cloud Cliff Pavilion in the early stage. Now, Yunya Pavilion has thrown out the matter of building a city, obviously to make a fuss about the management of forces, in this way, it seems that it has little to do with the strength of the individual, after all, the level of cultivation is disproportionate to a person's ability to lead and develop a force, so is Yunya Pavilion's move to remind himself to make a fuss in this regard? If this is the case, it is not a feasible idea, since the people of Yunya Pavilion have investigated themselves in depth, maybe they already know what they are doing in Tiankeng, and now they have a free alliance in their hands, and the matter of the intercity corridor is planned by themselves, and they are really well-intentioned to make a fuss about themselves in this regard. However, Lu Yi was still a little resistant to Yunya Pavilion psychologically, he hated that the other party was secretly investigating and spying on himself, so even if Lu Yi agreed with their concept of right and wrong, he didn't want to join them and become a part of them. Even, Lu Yi deliberately wanted to help the Cloud Extinguishing Alliance confront the Cloud Cliff Pavilion in order to avenge the other party's secret spying on him. He also told Mei Qingzhu about this idea, but Mei Qingzhu didn't respond at all, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, Lu Yi knew that Mei Qingzhu must have secretly listened to these situations, the reason why she didn't say anything, she was still playing with herself, she had to find a way to make Mei Qingzhu speak, without Mei Qingzhu's help, Lu Yi now felt extremely uncomfortable.
This time, the rally was held all night, and in the end there was no unified opinion, some advocated ignoring the Yunya Pavilion and going all out to develop it; some advocated taking the initiative to contact them to ease the atmosphere of the two sides and go hand in hand; and there were even militants who proposed to gather all the strength of the alliance to fight with the other side. Each opinion had a certain number of supporters, and for the time being, no one was able to convince anyone, so it was finally decided to adjourn the meeting for the time being, and everyone went back to the information they had received today and calmly considered it, and conveyed it to the top leaders of their respective forces, so as to pool their wisdom, first unify the opinions of their respective forces, and then converge again after three months, and strive to come up with a more secure solution.
After Lu Yi and Daiki Ancestor returned to Xiaoyao City, they immediately summoned all the high-level leaders in the city, conveyed the content of the meeting to them, and then asked them to go back to think about it, and also sent a summons to the high-level officials who went out to explain the situation, informing everyone that Lu Yi's new home would meet a month later, and everyone would come up with a unified opinion on this matter from the side of the Easy Alliance.
After sending everyone away and resting for a while, Lu Yi came to the secret room in the rockery, and after opening all the prohibitions to ensure that nothing went wrong, Lu Yi took out the soul storage stone where Mei Qingzhu was staying, and placed it opposite him, while he sat cross-legged and respectfully said to the soul storage stone: "Sister Qingzhu, can you really bear to ignore me? What did I do wrong, you tell me, can't I apologize to you? These days, you are not by my side, my whole person feels that the six gods are masterless, and my heart is empty." When Lu Yi said this, his expression was rarely serious, and his mood was really a little low, this time, he didn't pretend at all.
The Soul Storing Stone stood there quietly, without any abnormality, Lu Yi's eyes were a little scattered, and he just stunned at the Soul Storage Stone without saying a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking about now.
After a long time, a sigh came from the soul storage stone, "Alas, that's it!" This was Mei Qingzhu's voice, "Let me tell you the truth, the reason why I ignored you is not because you made any mistakes, but because of myself. ”
Lu Yi raised his head when he heard this, only to see that the charm green bamboo had already come out of the soul storage stone, and was floating five feet in front of Lu Yi at the moment. Although Mei Qingzhu is just a spiritual body and has no rich expressions, Lu Yi can still feel that her mood is still very low. Lu Yi didn't speak, because he knew that Mei Qingzhu would definitely have a following.
"Actually, I ignored you all this time because I suddenly felt a little melancholy and confused. I was originally a secret hand left by the Celestial Clan, the purpose was to help the Celestial Clan complete the great cause of returning to the mainland, but since I was detained by you, a bad boy, what I have done has completely violated the original intention, it was okay before, basically it revolved around your personal problems, but the later it is, many of the things you have done have been completely prepared to deal with the upcoming new war. Although I don't approve of some of the Celestial Clan's practices, I am a member of the Celestial Clan after all, just as you are a member of the Terran Race, and you should do things to protect your Terran and protect your relatives. So your behavior makes me feel that I really can't help you anymore, otherwise, I would be really ungrateful and unrighteous, and no one on either side will be sorry.
Some time ago, you weren't there, I talked a lot with the free girl, this girl is also very confused now, she also knows that the Celestial Clan is going to attack, she also loves everything on the continent, and she doesn't want the mainland to be ravaged by war, but she also understands that that day will come sooner or later, and it is inevitable. Now, the two clans of the human and demon clans are actively preparing for war, and the Celestial Clan must have premeditated and prepared even more, so that the more fully prepared the two sides, the more tragic the upcoming war will be, and in the end it will definitely develop to the point where neither side can stop, the fish will die, and even die together. In that way, no matter which side wins in the end, the Heavenly Chaos Continent will definitely be devastated and unrecognizable, not to mention what lives are ruined, the country is ruined, and the family is ruined. Moreover, the main battlefield is on the mainland, and in the final analysis, it is the existing creatures on the continent that will be most affected in the end. This made her very painful, but she could not do anything about it, so she often hid and cried alone.
Although I am said to be a Celestial Clan, I was also born and raised on this continent, even if it is now a human being, but it can't erase my feelings for my homeland, but the Celestial Clan is the foundation of my bloodline, and I can't accept that either side of the two sides is hurt. Perhaps under the influence of the Loose Girl, I am also depressed now, and I even want to leave you and find a place where no one is around, or return to the abyss of beasts to hide and never show my face again, so that I will not at least see my homeland and my relatives suffering from war. ”
