Chapter 454: And This Kind of Operation!
When the internal contradictions of a group of forces are becoming increasingly serious and difficult to reconcile, the best way is to wage war with the outside world to divert the contradictions.
The Backlight Alliance, an alliance organization composed of many sects and families, is definitely not monolithic among its members, and even some sects have a history of fighting with each other before.
The main reason why such a loose alliance can last for thousands of years is because they have a strong opponent, an opponent that they dare not disintegrate.
All the high-level monks in the Backlight Alliance know that if the Great Bright Immortal Palace is not extinguished, the Backlight Alliance cannot be dissolved, otherwise no one will be able to stop the Great Bright Immortal Palace's autumn reckoning.
Therefore, every time there is an irreconcilable internal contradiction, they will first sit down and talk, and after they can't get along, they will not fight each other, but launch a war against the Great Bright Immortal Palace, and divide internal interests with the merits established by one side in the war.
As for winning or losing the war, it is not too important, because as long as no fundamental mistake is made, neither side is destined to be helpless.
Jin Qu said that the main reason for the war was that the high-level leaders of the Backlight Alliance were worried that if there was no war for many years, the monks below would forget the war and snub the war, Zhou Yang believed.
But he knew better that for this reason alone, there would definitely not be a war as fierce as Jin Qu said, and there would be no war between monks above the Jindan stage.
Therefore, he guessed that there must be some irreconcilable internal contradictions in the Backlight Alliance, and he was ready to use this war to ease the contradictions and eliminate the contradictions.
These golden canals definitely didn't dare to tell him, after all, this is a family ugly, how can it be easily publicized.
Of course, Zhou Yang didn't care much about this, what he cared about was whether this war would have an impact on him.
He looked at Jin Qu with blazing eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Jin Daoyou came to the door, shouldn't it be as simple as just relaying the news to Zhou?"
"Zhou is not a monk in the Backlight Alliance, even if a big war breaks out, unless it is a monk from the Great Bright Immortal Palace who invades Jinyang Kingdom, it is impossible to let Zhou go to the battlefield!"
Jin Qu didn't seem to be surprised that Zhou Yang would ask like this, after hearing this, he first glanced at Xiao Ying, who was listening quietly to their conversation, and after seeing that Zhou Yang didn't react, he stubbornly said: "That's the case, Zhou Daoyou, you also know that every time there is a big battle involving high-level monks, these member sects of our Qingyuan Sword Sect will send a certain number of high-level monks to participate in the battle." ”
"But our Qingyuan Sword Sect now has a few late-stage Purple Mansion monks, and they don't really want to participate in this big battle, so after several senior brothers discussed with the top level of the sect, they decided to pay a high price to invite a monk of the same rank with high means like Zhou Daoyou to temporarily join my Qingyuan Sword Sect as a guest monk, and replace our Qingyuan Sword Sect to fight!"
And this kind of operation!
Zhou Yang looked at Jin Qu with a stunned expression, and was speechless for a long time.
He had only heard that weak mortal nations would pay high prices for mercenaries to help them fight, and he had only heard that teams would pay high prices for foreign aid in order to win a good ranking in the competition.
I didn't expect that the war between immortal cultivators could also have this kind of operation.
And looking at the appearance of Jinqu, this kind of operation seems to be very normal, and it is not an unsightly thing.
"Jin Daoyou, don't blame the concubine for having a lot of mouths, our couple doesn't lack spirit stones for cultivation, and we don't need to be a thug to earn spirit stones!"
"So Jin Daoyou, please go back, he will definitely not agree to this matter!"
Zhou Yang was also shocked by the Qingyuan Sword Sect's commotion, but Xiao Ying, who had been listening quietly to their conversation next to him, took the initiative to help him refuse Jin Qu's request with a tense face.
This is the first time she has said such things on behalf of Zhou Yang, she has been silently hidden behind Zhou Yang before, never making a sound.
Of course, what she said was also true.
Zhou Yang and her, there is indeed no shortage of spirit stones, after all, the spirit stones of the entire Zhou family can be used by the two of them, and there is also a spirit stone mine with reserves of tens of millions that can be mined at any time.
If it really doesn't work, they open their doors to help people refine weapons and alchemy, and they can easily earn the spirit stones they need for cultivation, and they can't be guilty of being mercenaries to earn this kind of deadly money.
Therefore, after Zhou Yang heard her words, he quickly supported the Taoist and said: "That's right, Zhou only wants to focus on retreat and improve his cultivation now, and he doesn't have any idea of going out, and I hope Jin Daoyou understands." ”
When Jin Qu heard him say this, his face was a little unnatural and coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, since Zhou Daoyou is not interested in this matter, Jin naturally doesn't dare to force it." ”
After speaking, he paused, and then lowered his voice and said: "But please forgive Jin for saying more, the real treasure is not something that can be bought with spirit stones, although Zhou Daoyou, although you are not a member of our Backlight Alliance, you don't have to participate in the war, but it also means that you can't obtain valuable treasures such as [Jade Liquid Golden Pill]. ”
"On the other hand, if you are willing to use our Anti-Light Alliance monk to participate in the war, you can exchange the merit points obtained on the battlefield for such treasures, with Zhou Daoyou's strength, this path should be smoother than most monks of the same level!"
This is true.
Treasures such as "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", Zhou Yang saw it for sale at the big auction in Xianyang City, and it was specially taken out by Xuanyang Immortal Sect because of the Qingyang Real Yuan Infant Ceremony in order to attract popularity and boost reputation.
At that time, the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" was taken by Cao Wenjin for more than one million spirit stones, which was already a sky-high price in his opinion.
But for him now, if he is given a chance to bid for the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill", not to mention 1.17 million lower grade spirit stones, even 1.5 million lower grade spirit stones, he is also willing!
However, this kind of opportunity is too rare to come by, and it is rare to encounter in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent in a hundred years, let alone in the extreme west.
However, this does not mean that Zhou Yang will agree to Jin Qu's request.
His strength is very strong, yes, and he can even be described as invincible at the same level.
But when it came to the battlefield, the enemies he faced were not only Purple Mansion monks of the same rank.
If he frantically kills the monks of the Purple Mansion of the Great Bright Immortal Palace on the battlefield in order to accumulate the merits of the Anti-Light Alliance, he will definitely provoke the assassination of the monks of the Jindan period.
And the more he is in the limelight, the more people will investigate his identity and origin, and even if he can't find out that he is from the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, they will know that he is not a monk within the rule of the Reverse Light Alliance.
In that case, even if he had accumulated enough battlefield merits, it was unknown whether he would be able to exchange for the "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" from the Backlight Alliance.
As a last resort, Zhou Yang will definitely not take this road.
Anyway, he is still a long way from Yudan, and his longevity is not even three hundred years old, so there is no need to be so anxious.
It's really not good, he can still take the risk of going to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal realm, and ask Qingyang Zhenren to help get a "jade liquid golden pill".
Therefore, Zhou Yang's face did not change in the words that were implied by Jin Qu, but he said lightly: "Jin Daoyou has a heart, if Zhou changes his mind, he will definitely be the first to inform Daoyou." ”
Eventually, Jin Qu left in despair, looking for the next monk willing to accept the hire.
And after Zhou Yang left, he couldn't help grabbing the jade hand of Taoist Xiao Ying and said: "Ying'er, you can rest assured, you know it for your husband, and you will never put yourself in danger for a little profit." ”
When Xiao Ying heard his words, she frowned and said, "Husband, what do you mean by this, if the benefits are big enough, will you be willing to risk yourself?"
Zhou Yang saw her being so serious, and he felt a headache and helplessness in his heart.
This Taoist couple in his own family is good at everything, but he is too simple and innocent in terms of human feelings, and sometimes it really makes people not know what to do.
After thinking about it, he stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Ying's mantis head, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on her pale forehead.
Then he looked at the Taoist couple whose pretty face suddenly turned red with a straight face and said: "Good lady, I don't want to deceive you for my husband, yes, if the benefits are big enough, for example, if he Jinqu comes over with a [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] today and invites me to participate in the war, I will definitely agree to him, but can he and the Qingyuan Sword Sect be willing to pay such a big price?"
"And no matter how big the benefit is, you have to have a life to enjoy it, if it is the kind of thing that kills one life or even ten deaths, he will give no matter how big the benefit is, it is impossible for the husband to agree!"
A high-ranking monk who has lived for hundreds of years must have a greedy heart and know when to be greedy and when not to be greedy.
If you don't have that greed for profit, how can you get the resources for your cultivation?
It can't be a high-level monk per capita spirit, or a per capita descendant of a primordial infant monk!
Zhou Yang has risked his life for the sake of huge interests over the years, although sometimes he will feel afraid and glad about his greedy and risky actions afterwards, but if he is allowed to re-elect, he will probably still take risks.
A monk who has no adventurous heart will find it difficult to climb to the top in this cruel immortal cultivation world.
Those low-level monks who are willing to be ordinary, live in the safety of Xiancheng or Fang City all their lives, and rely on working in those shops to earn a meager salary, it is difficult to even build a foundation in this life, let alone enter the ranks of high-level monks.
Even their descendants, if they don't change this mentality, they can only linger in the Qi cultivation period like them for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Yang has already had such a life, and he doesn't want to let himself live another life like that.
In this life, he has lived for more than two hundred years, and he wants to live even longer!
And to live longer, he must abandon the idea that a little wealth is peace, and at some point he must risk his life for a better future.
After listening to her lover's words, Xiao Ying felt her lover's firm and unshakable will, and she also felt helpless in her heart.
She paused again and again, and finally sighed softly: "The concubine body is still the same sentence, no matter what you do, the concubine body will always support you!"
"I only hope that when you want to risk your life in the future, you will think more about your concubine and the Zhou family, and then make a decision!"
