Chapter 157: Pouring Cold Water
Zhang Ledao circled around the City Lord's Mansion for a long time before finding the gate, this gate is absolutely worthy of magnificence, exquisite! Every decoration on the door is a beautiful work of art!
"Hello big brother, I'm Zhang Ledao, but..."
"The city lord is invited, please come with me!" The guards at the gate seemed to have received a notice a long time ago, and waited here for Zhang Ledao.
Zhang Ledao is flattered by this! He still knows how many catties and taels he has! As a strong man in the Dongzhen Period, the city lord of the main city can accept it even if he makes it difficult for his arrival! Before he came, he kept wandering around the city wall, just thinking about how to get in, and what to say after entering! But he didn't expect that the city lord would be so good?
Even Lu Ziqian was stunned!
"Master, it turns out that you still have such influence?"
"Ziqian, what are these words! As a teacher, he is also his own family member of the Ice and Snow Pavilion! The city lord has no reason to make things difficult for me!" Zhang Ledao was quite unhappy when he heard Lu Ziqian's suspicions! Even though his thoughts were similar to Lu Ziqian's, he still couldn't admit it!
"But..."
"But what's the matter, go in and learn, watch more and talk less, you know!"
"Oh..."
Zhang Ledao saw Lu Ziqian's obedient and soft appearance, and squinted his eyes and smiled proudly, Master still has to be a little majestic, otherwise it will be so boring!
The City Lord's Mansion in Storm City is much more atmospheric, and there are not so many twists and turns, and when you enter the door, you will have a wide large square, and the white jade carved floor tiles, steps, and railings have the illusion of returning to the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
The city lord sat in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the city lord of the main city took office at the beginning of the Hundred Caves True Period, and when he entered the Tribulation Period, he traveled all over the world to find opportunities to prepare for the Ascension and Thunder Tribulation. The city lord of the main city is actually not as busy as the deputy city lord, and he doesn't even need to do a lot of things! Of course, the main city lord himself can have a lot of time to cultivate and go to the calamity! If it is said that the deputy city lord is in charge of the affairs of the whole city! The main city lord is just a bodhisattva who comes to suppress the formation, and except for not being able to leave for a long time, the rest of the time is still very idle.
"Lord of the City!" the guards sent Zhang Ledao to the door and retreated, Zhang Ledao stood outside the door and shouted respectfully to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"You are Zhang Ledao?"
"The city lord's predecessors have also heard of the kid?"
"I've heard a little, but if it weren't for Xiaocui reminding me, I'm afraid I wouldn't really be able to remember it for a while, come in." ”
Xiao Cui: It turned out that the City Lord of Yucui had greeted the City Lord of Fengbo City in advance! No wonder he was able to come in so smoothly.
"I don't know how Yucui's predecessors solved the invasion of the cult? When we left, the cult should be pushing the vice city again!" Zhang Ledao was still a little worried. One is a fellow believer after all, and any loss may have an impact on the outcome of the final battle between good and evil; in addition, it is the first backbone of his friendship! In the future, he is more likely to integrate into his own network, so he really doesn't want anyone there to lose.
"Fortunately, I found it in time! I have already informed that the seventy-three existing sub-cities in Storm City will form an alliance nearby and establish a battle phalanx combination with the teleportation array as the core, so that unless the cult dispatches multiple forces of three or more forces to attack a sub-city alliance at the same time, it will not be able to defeat it at all!"
Hearing the city lord say that it was okay, Zhang Ledao's heart was also relaxed!
"Lord of the city, the problem of the vice city is easy to solve, but the most terrifying thing is the directional uprooting of the main city by a large number of troops!" Zhang Ledao did not dare to forget the purpose of his visit today.
"You're right, now it's just an appetizer that the cult has sent in advance while the major main cities are not paying attention! Three hundred and forty-one main cities are their target! When the time comes, it will not be a small fight, it is very likely that many Dongzhen will storm one main city, eliminate the righteous path forces one by one, and then continue to encroach on the territory and cities of the major sects!"
"So, city lord, is it possible for us to unite with the major major cities to form a tight defense line and use all the idle resources in the rear to the best of our ability! Thoroughly curb the advance of the cult! If we don't join forces, we will one day be completely uprooted!" Zhang Ledao tentatively expressed his thoughts.
"As a junior, it's good that you have this heart! It's not something you should worry about!" The city lord's face was a little heavy, as if he was reluctant to talk about this topic.
"Please also ask the seniors to teach us! Although the kid's cultivation is low, he has a firm determination to defend the righteous path! And the kid has now rolled out an intelligence system covering almost all the main and sub-cities in the Southern Regions, and we can quickly grasp the actual situation in various places and make adjustments to the internal deployment..."
"It can't be realized!" The city lord didn't wait for Zhang Ledao to finish speaking, he shook his head and interrupted Zhang Ledao's words.
"Please also ask the city lord to make it clear!" Zhang Ledao's face looked very stubborn!
"Hey! Maybe this is the only way, and deep alliance is also the only way to resist this counterattack! But before the righteous path is completely crippled, it is impossible to unite!"
"Why is this? Even though each has its own evil fetus, in the face of the cult, we should have the same hatred for the enemy!
Zhang Ledao knew very well that there were irreconcilable contradictions between the five major sects and the small sects, and that there were also a lot of intrigues between the five major sects themselves! However, they all had a common enemy, that is, a cult! This is completely based on unity!
"I didn't say that they couldn't unite, but I just said that they couldn't unite until the righteous path was completely destroyed! Judging from the sect level alone, they wished that other righteous path sects would fight more fiercely with the cult, so that their strength could be preserved to the greatest extent! So even if they were united, they would not be able to make any efforts! Can't you see from the surprise attack on the Ice and Snow Pavilion? The surface is as solid as a rock, if it is attacked from the inside, it will be shattered with one blow!"
The city lord spoke unceremoniously, and it can be said that he is not optimistic about the so-called righteous path alliance at all!
"However, it should be for a reason! Moreover, in the final duel with the evil lord, countless high-level leaders fell, fighting to the death! Doesn't this explain the problem?" Zhang Ledao still had hope for the Righteous Path Alliance.
"That's forced to retreat! Except for the Ice and Snow Pavilion, who is fighting to defend the Ice and Snow Pavilion! Most of the rest of the people are thinking of escaping! However, the evil lord has an unknown treasure, after sealing the small world of the catastrophe, at the same time, the space density around the treasure pavilion has become extremely large! It is extremely difficult to tear it! It can only travel for a short distance, and it is impossible to achieve long-distance teleportation at all!" The city lord of Storm Wave City, as a powerhouse of the Cave True Period, obviously knows much more than himself! The tone is also full of gunpowder, and he also scoffs at the original tragic battle.
"At that time, the caves of many sects around were really reachable! But it was easy to enter and difficult to get out, and there was no other way but to fight to the death! They were really forced into a desperate situation in order to unite as one!" The city lord's tone was full of disdain for the Righteous Path Alliance.
"Until the end, the Ice and Snow Pavilion didn't know how many years ago the sleeping Scattered Immortal Snow Ape appeared, and his field affected the scope of action of that magic weapon, which made the group of guys with their own ghosts feel relaxed. The Snow Ape seniors said that they should let them leave, just to give them the stairs down! Even if they don't say it, they will just run away!" The city lord gritted his teeth, a little angry
"Hmph" Zhang Ledao took a long breath, and he couldn't accept it in his heart! It turned out that what he had always thought was the right path was like this? He kept saying that he was not a good person! But from this point of view, it is impossible for a cultivator and a good person to reach the peak alive!
"The whole righteous path is full of miasma! It cannot be ruled out that there are people who really have the world in mind! But these few are simply mud cows entering the sea, and they can't bring any changes!" I have to say that the words of the city lord of Fengbo City almost made Zhang Ledao desperate! It turned out that the righteous path was much more unbearable than he thought!
As mentioned earlier, from the beginning of the transition between good and evil to antagonism, the hypocrisy of the righteous path and the cruelty of the cult have been doomed!
"Only you, a junior, still have the world in mind! A cultivator is a man who fights with the heavens, the earth, and people! This is a lonely road! Selfishness can be great! Do you understand what I mean?" The city lord of Storm City looked at Zhang Ledao's eyes, and he was a little more unbearable.
Zhang Ledao shook his head, he really didn't know! He didn't have any heart to cultivate immortals! Don't say that his heart was not firm, his Dao heart was to make money, and it had nothing to do with cultivating immortals!
"The resources between heaven and earth are extremely limited! But there are more and more monks! The competition on the road of cultivating immortals is getting bigger and bigger! Ten thousand people are destined to become a stepping stone for one person to reach the peak! There is only one resource, and you can go further, transcend yourself, and surpass ten thousand people; if you lose the dry bones that are destined to become the next moment, will you try your best to fight for it? Not only for the sake of cultivation, but also for survival!"
Zhang Ledao didn't say anything, but he knew that he would definitely be! The reason was very simple! Everyone wanted to live! But why couldn't cultivating immortals be peaceful? Mutual benefit and win-win results, and harmony and wealth?
"And all this! it was all calculated by the Nanhua Ancestor a long time ago!" the city lord said in a non-startling voice.
"What?" In Zhang Ledao's impression, Nanhua Ancestor has always been the existence of his own waste material, but now it seems that his black history is about to be exposed?
"In the ancient cultivation era, the competition was only in the hands of a very small number of immortals, and even if they fought, they were all small-scale! But since he created the New Heavenly Dao, a large number of mortals with average talent have poured into the cultivation realm, which seems to have given them the opportunity to change their fate and leap into the ranks of immortals, but in fact they are just cannon fodder for real geniuses! It is also his New Heavenly Dao that has completely plunged the mainland into a dead cycle of a thousand years of chaos and a thousand years of catastrophe! The battle has also changed from a very small number of cultivators to a mighty army of cultivators!" The city lord of Storm City had a completely opposite opinion on Nanhua Ancestor's evaluation, putting forward a completely different point of view!
"But!" Zhang Ledao said that he was distracted by too many new things! This city lord of Storm City is simply poisonous! Pouring so much water on himself at once, he forgot what he was doing now!
Zhang Ledao must sort out his thinking!
"I'm telling you all this just to make you understand! The monks are selfish! Don't expect them to be truly united if it weren't for the moment when their lives were at stake! So what you said about the main city defense line won't work! This is the most essential problem!"
"In addition, even if they are all Ice and Snow Pavilion forces, it is very difficult to unite! Each city lord's top priority is the safety and interests of their own city! Unless you can really guarantee it, everything is empty talk!"
The city lord calmly finished saying everything, and Zhang Ledao didn't speak for a long time.
"Thank you, City Lord! The boy needs to go back and think about it, but I will never give up easily!" Zhang Ledao said to the City Lord extremely firmly, even though his heart was extremely weak and his mind was a mess now.
"It's still important to have your own opinions and beliefs, if you really want to try, you might as well start with the major main cities of the Ice and Snow Pavilion! After all, they are all their own people, and it's a little easier to join forces!"
"Try the United Ice Pavilion first, and you'll know how difficult it is to convince the entire Southern Regions."
"Lord City, the kid wants to ask a question!" Zhang Ledao asked word by word after calming down
"What would you do in the future without me bringing up this ridiculous idea?"
