Chapter 1003: Ten Thousand Years of Grudges
The Dragon Clan's choice of the Yuqing Sect to establish power this time is not completely without reason, and the reason is indeed quite convincing, at least it can't be said that this is nonsense. It is precisely because of this that after the Dragon Clan made a move, whether it was the Yuqing Sect as the "party" or those bystanders in the domain realm, they could guess that the Dragon Clan wanted to establish power.
However, for the Dragon Clan, in the matter of Liwei, Yuqing Sect is not the only choice, nor is it the most suitable one among many options.
Among the many sects in the Shenhua Realm, the Yuqing Sect was neither the top in strength, nor did it have the prestige to lead the world's sects, nor did it have obvious hatred or conflict of interest with the Dragon Clan. The dragon clan wants to establish power, and the purpose of Liwei is to make others afraid of themselves, so naturally they should choose the object of Liwei from these aspects, rather than catching one from the middle and upper reaches of Liwei.
In other words, the dragon clan took the Yuqing Sect to establish its authority, although it could also show a certain degree of power after success. But the power they showed was probably not enough to truly deter the entire Domain, let alone those Outer Realms.
Of course, there is also a very obvious benefit to taking the Yuqing Sect to establish power. Although the effect of this Liwei will not be the best, the success rate will be relatively high. If Yuqingzong didn't have these hole cards, everything would be as it was laid out on the surface, and it would indeed be difficult for any accidents to happen.
It's just that the term "insurance" is not appropriate for the dragons. Not to mention how crazy the temperament of the dragon clan is, it is more than forty law-level and heaven-level powers. Not to mention a sect in a domain realm, even if the power of a domain realm is really gathered here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete with the dragon clan in terms of strength.
Therefore, Ye Zan had to suspect that the Dragon Clan's choice of Yuqing Sect as the object of Liwei was likely to have some other reasons.
As for what the reason was, Ye Zan actually had a guess in his heart, especially when he heard that the other party had moved out the Immortal Court. It's just that speculation is just speculation after all, and the dragon clan guessed that Yuqing Sect had that bit of strength on the surface, and wouldn't this result be slapped in the face.
So, Ye Zan asked this question to Ao Yu straightforwardly.
"If you lose, you lose, and since we have been defeated by you, there is no point in talking about anything else. Whatever compensation you want, and what guarantees you want, you can put it forward. Ao Yu avoided answering Ye Zan's questions, and only resigned himself to the two points of compensation and guarantee.
In Ao Yu's view, the first of the three conditions proposed by Ye Zan is nothing more than to satisfy curiosity, and the last two are the most important things that are really related to actual interests. Curiosity, while often tempting, has no value at all in the face of real practical interests and can be completely ignored.
However, Ye Zan was not as easily fooled as Ao Yu thought.
"Compensation and guarantees, these can be talked about later, and the premise of the talk is that you have to be sincere enough. I just want to know, why did the Dragon Clan choose my Yuqing Sect to establish power, this is not such a difficult question to answer, right?" Ye Zan was very persistent, pulled the topic back to the first condition, and put on a posture of not giving up without an answer.
Indeed, relatively speaking, the compensation and guarantee of the dragon clan are the most practical things for today's Yuqing Sect. But there is a saying that "people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries", Ye Zan wanted to confirm the guess in his heart, because it might be related to some future development directions of the Yuqing Sect.
Today's Yuqing Sect, to put it mildly, as long as it continues to develop at this pace, it is not impossible to return to the top. However, if something unexpected happened in the midst of this, it disrupted the footsteps of Yuqing Sect. And Yuqing Sect has no preparations, and returning to the top is probably a luxury, and even whether it can keep everything that exists will become a problem.
Seeing Ye Zan insisting so much, Ao Yu's face became a little ugly, although he was not very good-looking in the first place. He glanced around, looked at the several Dharma Dao Monarchs holding the chains on his body, and returned his gaze to Ye Zan, and said, "I think that there are some things, and it is better not to get to the bottom of them. ”
"Hehe, Prince Ao, when you say that, I am even more curious. Moreover, I am more sure that there is indeed a problem here, right?" Hearing Ao Yu's warning, Ye Zan was even more sure of the guess in his heart.
"What can be the problem, our clan wants to establish power in the outer land, so they chose the Yuqing Sect, which is now in the limelight, isn't this a normal thing?" Ao Yu frowned slightly, and some of his mouth was stiff in defense.
"Have you ever heard of Prince Ao, there is an idiom in my human race called 'There are no silver three hundred taels here'?" Ye Zan asked slightly mockingly.
In fact, for the question raised by Ye Zan, even if Ao Yu didn't want to tell the truth, he could use other excuses to perfunctory the past. For example, it is said that it was decided by drawing lots, or it was thought of by seeing Qianli Divine Transmission, and it was impossible for Yuqing Sect to use soul searching for him anyway.
However, Ao Yu may have disdained to panic and blindly avoided Ye Zan's questions, but it seemed that there was really something here. Of course, there is another point here, that is, Ao Yu does not have a very strong desire to keep it secret on this issue.
Sure enough, after being ridiculed by Ye Zan, Ao Yu did not continue to pretend to be stupid, but shook his head and said, "I can't tell the reason, you can guess." ”
In fact, in the matter of choosing Yuqing Sect Liwei, Ao Yu must be very dissatisfied with that "reason" in his heart.
Because of that "reason", the dragon clan chose such an opponent, and as a result, his face was stripped away. Although the great responsibility here lies in the fact that the dragon clan does not know enough about the Yuqing Sect, isn't "human nature" like this? If something goes wrong, it is inevitable to find a reason other than oneself.
I can't tell, you can guess!
When the other party said these eight words, Ye Zan already had the answer in his heart, raised his finger and pointed to the sky above his head, and said, "It seems that someone wants to borrow a knife to kill someone!"
In the sky above this space, of course, there was nothing, but Ye Zan made this gesture, and everyone present could understand what it meant in an instant. What does "heaven" often mean to a cultivator?
In fact, Ye Zan's question is not very difficult to guess the answer. At the beginning, when Xuanyuan Daozu went to the outer world, he once said that Yuqing Sect had many enemies. Those enemies were all provoked by Yuqing Sixuan in the outer regions ten thousand years ago, and I am afraid that many of them are at the level of Earth Immortal Dao Ancestors.
The outer realm is not like the Shenhua Realm, which has experienced the same catastrophe as ten thousand years ago, but it is also difficult to tolerate the existence of earth immortals under the shackles of heaven and earth. As a result, those Earth Immortal Dao Ancestors in the outer regions, as long as they did not die in advance, were basically taken over by the Immortal Court. And among those Earth Immortal Dao Ancestors, there must be those enemies offended by Yuqing Sixuan.
Those enemies of the Yuqing Sect left this hatred to the descendants of the "mortal" sect, but it does not mean that he himself does not hold a grudge against the Yuqing Sect. It's just that due to the shackles of heaven and earth, the Earth Immortal Dao Ancestor can't "go to the lower realm" to take revenge on the Yuqing Sect with his own hands. Moreover, the Immortal Court has a plan to implement to open up the outer world, and it is impossible for anyone to contact the "mortal world".
This is why Yuqingzong has not encountered retaliation from this "cause and effect" in the past 10,000 years.
But then again, in the past 10,000 years, Yuqing Sect has lived quite miserably, and even almost broke off the Taoist system. Those enemies in the Immortal Court, if they can see all this, I am afraid that they don't know how happy they are, and naturally they will not risk revenge again.
However, after opening the passage to the outer world, the Yuqing Sect finally followed the "time to run", and actually climbed up from the third-rate sect all the way. Presumably, during this period, those people in the Immortal Court who hated Yuqing Sixuan saw that Yuqing Sect actually turned over, and they must have hated the roots of their teeth again.
Again, immortals are also people, and this "person" may not be a person at the biological and genetic level, but it is still no different from a person from the spiritual level. They will also have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, as well as indissolvable obsessions, and they will keep a hatred in their hearts for tens of thousands of years.
Seeing Ye Zan pointing to the sky, Ao Yu naturally knew what it meant, so he nodded no longer concealed, but said, "I didn't say it, it's just your guess." ”
Can the Immortal Court see everything in the "mortal world"? Those who have never been immortals cannot, of course, have a clear answer. No one knows if in the real fairy court, there are also mythical clairvoyances and ears that explore everything in the mortal world.
But one thing is certain, that is, when the immortals are mentioned to themselves, they are said to be able to sense something in their hearts. In fact, not only the level of the True Immortal, but also the power of the level of the Heavenly Supreme will also be sensed when others mention themselves.
It is precisely because of this that Ao Yu will answer this question raised by Ye Zan in such an obscure way. Otherwise, if he pours beans from the bamboo tube and tells them all without concealment, eighty percent will make the fairy court feel something. And since the dragon clan listened to the other party's assignment and came to trouble the Yuqing Sect in a powerful way, they didn't want to offend the other party.
"The dragon clan left the Cloud Sea Realm this time and prepared to go to the outer world, could it be that they have obtained the decree of the Immortal Court?" Ye Zan further confirmed. Although he only asked about the dragon clan going to the outer world, there was actually a layer of meaning to inquire about the identity of the other party.
The Immortal Court issued a decree to the Dragon Clan, no matter how much he looked down on the Dragon Clan, it was impossible for anyone to give this decree. It's like in the world, a person who can write a holy decree for the emperor, regardless of how much actual power he has, but his status must not be low.
Therefore, if dealing with such a thing as Yuqing Sect is hinted at in that decree, I am afraid that the other party's status in the Immortal Court will be quite high. Although it is said that no matter whether the other party is an earth immortal, a true immortal, or a Da Luo Jin immortal, there is no way for the Yuqing Sect to take the other party. However, being able to know the approximate identity of the other party will still have some benefits after all, at least let Yuqingzong's side be mentally prepared.
"In the decree of the Immortal Court, it only says that our clan should gather strength and go to the outer world to serve as soon as possible. Ao Yu nodded and said.
Ao Yu's answer is actually a little incompatible with Ye Zan's question, from the surface, although it is all about the law of the Immortal Court. After all, Ye Zan's words only asked if he had obtained the decree, but Ao Yu answered the content of the decree.
However, in Ao Yu's words, the word "only say" answers the potential questions in Ye Zan's questioning. That means that in dealing with the Yuqing Sect, there is no overt or covert instruction in the decree of the Immortal Court. In other words, the purpose of the Immortal Court was to do official business, and to deal with the affairs of the Yuqing Sect, someone else ordered it.
"I see, then Prince Ao, let's talk about the next two conditions. As long as the dragon clan can satisfy my sect, I am not a person who will do things absolutely without it, and it is not impossible to preserve some dignity for the dragon clan. Ye Zan didn't ask any more questions about the main messenger, but took the initiative to move the topic to the next two conditions.
On the two issues of compensation and guarantee, Ye Zan took the first step to give the dragon clan a temptation, that is, the decency of the dragon clan in this matter. This decency is no longer about spreading the video, but about the face of the dragon clan as a loser.
After all, the Dragon Clan's prestige failed, and it was planted in the hands of the little Yuqing Sect. Even without those videos, just spreading the results would be enough to make the dragons lose face. Therefore, for the dragon clan, if there is any way to save some face on this issue, it is definitely extremely tempting.
"Oh, I don't know what you mean by this?" Ao Yu's face, which had been cold, finally eased at this moment, obviously moved by Ye Zan's words.
You must know that Ao Yu, as the leader of this operation, must have an unshirkable responsibility for this result.
What about being the Dragon Prince of the Yunhai Dragon Palace? What about the face of the entire Dragon Clan! It can be said that if this matter is not handled properly, not only Ao Yu, but even the Yunhai Dragon Palace will become a criminal "person" of the entire Dragon Clan.
And now that he heard it, the other party seemed to have the intention to make the dragon clan not too ugly in this result, so could it be that Ao Yu would be moved.
"Well, it depends on whether the dragon clan has enough sincerity. If the sincerity of the Dragon Clan is enough to make up for the loss of our sect, then maybe this matter is a very ordinary visit in the ears of outsiders, or it is said that there is no acquaintance. Ye Zan further explained.
In fact, Ye Zan really didn't have much hatred for the dragon clan, and although the two sides fought like this, they didn't have to trample each other into the mud. Of course, this is also because Yuqingzong is now the victorious side, and he has not paid any price that needs to be paid with blood debts.
