Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 472 We Must Be Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace
The most terrible thing in this world is prejudice.
This prejudice is much more terrible than colored glasses.
For example, now, Li Yanmo really doesn’t understand what these people who are both half-immortals and sect leaders have experienced to have the kind of thinking that makes them give up thinking and just believe in everything.
But Li Yanmo had no choice, he had been severely coerced.
Li Yanmo immediately found his two smartest apprentices to discuss countermeasures. Considering Cheng Yuejie's tragic experience, Li Yanmo also called Cheng Yuejie so that his two apprentices could give Cheng some advice.
Several people gathered in the attic. Cheng Yuejie didn't have a single white hair or wrinkle, but she looked extremely pale, as if a soul would jump out of her mouth if she opened it. Jian Xin sat next to Li Yanmo drinking tea, looking like he could participate in the discussion, but she couldn't be absent.
Shen Ziqing and Zhuge Moer sat upright, looking nervous as if they were being tested in class.
Li Yanmo originally thought that the two people's reactions were a bit exaggerated, but when he thought about it carefully, this matter was really quite serious.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Li Yanmo explained the matter of the prison gate to the two of them. Of course, Li Yanmo emphasized that Kong Pu and others should give up thinking and just believe that he, Lord Li, had a backup plan for the dangerous situation.
Shen Ziqing and Zhuge Moer looked at each other and understood the situation.
Li Yanmo must have a backup plan, otherwise he wouldn't come here in person. Now he suddenly dragged them to talk about this matter, and specifically emphasized that the current situation of those clan leaders who foolishly believed that there was a backup plan was very dangerous...
It must be a reminder to these apprentices to learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace!
By the way, test whether these apprentices can shoulder the heavy responsibility.
"So you guys hurry up and think of a solution," Li Yanmo felt much more at ease when he saw the serious expressions of his two smartest disciples.
"Master, it's a good thing that the sect leaders trust you so much. As for why they are so calm, I can understand it," Shen Ziqing said after thinking for a while, "The Ghost Sect and other ten super sects want to establish the Prison Gate just for the sake of profit."
"Although they use all means to benefit themselves at the expense of others, they keep everything within an appropriate range."
“Whether it was using the Great Wilderness Daoist tradition to force the Divine Sect to surrender, or the current ranking competition, they did not harm the vast majority of super sects. In fact, they even allowed the vast majority of super sects to benefit. They just got the greatest benefit.”
"What's more, there is a Dayu outside the Dao Sect who is eyeing them covetously. The Ghost Sect will not want any problems to occur with the Dao Sect's barrier."
"So the Ghost Sect won't overturn the table."
After hearing Shen Ziqing's analysis, Li Yanmo breathed a sigh of relief, "The problem is that the Immortal Palace is hidden in the dark, and the Ghost Sect will not overturn the table."
Li Yanmo thought for a moment and then said, "Bahuang, Bahuang Hou, this Taoist competition has been stepping on the minefield of the Dayu Dynasty from the beginning. If it is not handled properly, it may lead to a further rupture in the relationship between the Dayu Dynasty and the Taoist sect. The Immortal Palace will definitely not miss this good opportunity to put pressure on the Dayu Dynasty."
Li Yanmo didn't dare to relax at all as he was dealing with the Immortal Palace, which had existed before the Dayu Dynasty and was the eternal black hand that silently caused the Taoism and the Dayu Dynasty to break up. His brain was almost overheating.
Shen Ziqing nodded, and at this time Zhuge Moer held up his chin and complained, "But the problem is that the Ghost Sect's hands and feet are not clean, and their thoughts are even more dirty. They were the ones who proposed to hold the Taoist competition in the Eight Desolations."
"Could they not know the delicate situation of Bahuang and Bahuang Hou in the Dayu Dynasty?"
"If you want to quickly win over other sects and forces, it is not enough to just show your strength. You also have to create a big enemy to force other sects and forces to jump on board."
"The current Emperor Yu, who is running out of time, is their pre-determined enemy. The Marquis of Eight Desolations, who is in his prime and even the current Emperor Yu is afraid of, is the confidence they have prepared for other sects and forces to jump on board without worry."
Zhuge Moer straightened up lazily, raised his finger and bent it.
"The Ghost Sect has already stepped on it, and the Immortal Palace doesn't even need to do anything special to detonate it."
As the leader of Jianmen, Cheng Yuejie felt dizzy after listening to this. She didn't quite understand, but she knew the situation was very bad.
Cheng Yuejie hesitated for a moment and then cautiously asked, "So... Master Li, what is your backup plan?"
"...Xiao Cheng, I don't have a backup plan."
"Oh—what shall we do then?"
As soon as he saw Cheng Yuejie's reaction, Li Yanmo knew that this girl didn't believe it at all.
This is prejudice!
Zhuge Moer took a sip of tea. Even though she made the situation sound very serious, she was the most relaxed one here.
In her opinion, this sect competition looked like a competition between the Immortal Palace and the Ghost Sect, but in fact, the Immortal Palace was forced to respond due to Li Yanmo's layout. Since Dayu dared to hold the Taoist competition in the Eight Wildernesses, he naturally had the corresponding confidence. This farce was just feeding Dayu with soldiers from the very beginning.
Li Yanmo pulled them here to chat just to scare them, the disciples, so that they would learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace and not act like those sect leaders.
However, Zhuge Moer felt that there were some problems with Li Yanmo as a master.
If you want to teach people to be prepared for danger in times of peace, you should first create a sense of crisis.
Is the Ghost Sect's plan to open the prison gate difficult?
The geniuses of the Xutian Taoist sect are now in the Jindan stage, but they all fell from the Shenhua stage. As long as they are willing, they can soar back to the Shenhua stage at any time, and perfectly win the Jindan, Yuanying, and Shenhua stage in this ranking competition.
All the deployments of the Ghost Sect will eventually become a wedding dress for the Xutian Taoist Sect.
As for flipping the table...
If the Ghost Sect is really forced to overturn the table and cause the Taoist structure to collapse, Tianxu Tower and Dayu will be the ones who will suffer in the end.
etc?
Zhuge Moer's shaking of the teacup paused, and his brows gradually raised.
The current goal of Tianxu Tower is to implement a sect registration system, but the sect registration system is in complete conflict with the Taoist Million Alliance. In the face of a structure that has been entrenched for hundreds of thousands of years, it will be of no avail even if thirty super sects are won over.
If they take the initiative, the setting of Tianxu Tower will collapse. What Tianxu Tower needs is the sect's trust, not fear.
But what if the Daoist sect itself destroyed a structure that had been ingrained for hundreds of thousands of years?
What would happen if millions of sects discovered at this time that there was an eternal black hand called the Immortal Palace behind all this, and that all the predicaments they are facing now were caused by the Immortal Palace?
Eat all! A complete all-inclusive!
Moreover, unstable factors can be eliminated at once in the process!
Therefore, now is not to remind them to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but to see whether they can see further progress from this extremely stable situation, a route to truly win all!
