Chapter 68: A Man's Conscience and Bottom Line



Qiu Changtian suddenly discovered that more and more people started to speak ill of him.

It all started when Master Kunlun was visiting the cave of Seventh Junior Sister Jian Qingnan. He casually said that Master Changgeng was too lenient towards the Demon Sect. As a result, Jian Qingnan turned hostile and sent the guest away on the spot.

After Qiu Changtian found out, he investigated the other party's background and discovered that he was not a cultivator from the Zhao or Luo family, and of course not from the Xu or Ge family, but from a third-party neutral faction.

It was obvious that someone had begun to spread rumors among neutral monks in an attempt to destroy Qiu Changtian's reputation in Kunlun.

A thousand Kunlun monks probably have a thousand ideas about how to fight the Demon Sect. It is impossible for decision makers to satisfy everyone, but it is too outrageous to slander if they are not satisfied.

It must be Zhao Jinghong who is behind this!

Qiu Changtian went to find Xu Yinglian and asked about the Xu family’s recent arrangements.

"Your plan shouldn't go wrong." Xu Yinglian replied, "The clan will provide some manpower, and Master will also help coordinate."

"That's not what I'm asking." Qiu Changtian sighed and said, "No one is going to launch a surprise attack, right?"

It doesn’t matter if others die, but the people from my wife’s family and my master’s family cannot die because of this. This is a man’s conscience and bottom line!

"No." Xu Yinglian shook his head and asked curiously, "Brother, do you really not want to see the strange attack plan?"

Qiu Changtian was silent for a moment and said:

"If such a simple surprise attack plan can be successful, it proves that Wei Dongliu is nothing but a waste."

Is Wei Dongliu a waste? Even with the support of the Blood Sea Ancestor, not everyone can reunite the scattered Mortal Path and be on par with the Ghost Path and the Heavenly Demon Path.

In other words, according to Qiu Changtian's prediction, there is a high probability that the other party will guess the surprise attack plan in advance.

Why?

Xu Yinglian did not think too much about it, because this was just an analysis after all. Just like when Guo Jia said that Cao Cao had ten victories and Yuan Shao had ten defeats, Cao Cao would not follow up and ask "Why ten wins and ten defeats".

She just thought for a long time and said awkwardly:

"If the Zhao family cultivators were to die in Beimang Mountain, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for us."

Qiu Changtian sighed endlessly.

How could he not understand what Xu Yinglian said?

If all the elite monks of the Zhao family camp were killed in Beimang Mountain, it would definitely greatly weaken Kunlun's strength and prestige.

Similarly, to the Kunlun monks who were unaware of the truth, Qiu Changtian was the commander-in-chief who coordinated the war.

This large number of people were killed in Beimang Mountain. Most of the Kunlun cultivators had no idea about the infighting among the top leaders, and they must blame Qiu Changtian.

"Yes." Qiu Changtian smiled bitterly, "Even so, if I told them not to go, would they listen?"

I definitely won’t listen.

The Zhao family of Guyuan has already issued an order, "Give priority to the dispatch of Master Yunhong." What else can Qiu Changtian do?

Probably all we can do is "hope that everyone is OK".

He and Xu Yinglian went to the main hall to make final arrangements before the battle.

Many elders, including Zhao Jinghong, gathered again and began to finalize some remaining complicated matters.

After the decision was made and consensus was reached, everyone filed out of the main hall one after another.

Zhao Jinghong walked at the end, and when most of the elders had left, he suddenly turned around and said to Qiu Changtian:

"In fact, I think there is nothing wrong with your strategy, Chang Geng."

"The Demon Cult is like a centipede, which will not die even if it is dead. As long as it cannot be eradicated, no matter how many of them we kill, more will pop up in a few years. It is totally not worth it."

Qiu Changtian was a little surprised. This guy actually knew everything!

For example, if the resources used to train a Kunlun monk can be used to train ten demon monks, but a Kunlun monk may only be able to kill three to five demon monks on the front battlefield, so the result is that the more Kunlun wins, the fewer people there are inside, while the demon sect Six Paths on the opposite side can easily make up for the lost manpower.

If not, why has the Kunlun Taiqing Sect been mainly on the defensive for thousands of years and rarely actively attacked the Demon Sect?

"If that's the case, why do you propose such a radical plan?" Qiu Changtian asked with a smile.

"Because Kunlun needs reform." Zhao Jinghong replied, "After guarding it for so many years, everyone is already exhausted."

"Is that why?" Xu Yinglian frowned and said in disgust, "You are trying to please the public and take a risky approach. If there are any bad consequences, you will have to pay for them all!"

Well said! Qiu Changtian was cheered up.

Zhao Jinghong chose a radical strategy, and everyone supported him and followed him to take the risk, but unfortunately he was ambushed and killed. Whose fault is it?

Of course it's Zhao Jinghong's problem. You see, all the Kunlun monks who followed my advice didn't encounter any problems, right?

"Haha." Zhao Jinghong just smiled. "Risky strategies may not be risky, and safe strategies may not be safe. The people of Kunlun want change, and I am bringing change to them. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Chang Geng, you saw what Kunlun Taiqing Sect needed, but you didn't see what Kunlun monks needed. You considered the overall situation but ignored the people's hearts. This is why you were pushed to this extent by me even though you had the support of the headmaster."

After saying that, he jumped onto the sword and disappeared in a flash.

Xu Yinglian looked unhappy and turned around and said:

"Brother, although it's wrong to say this, if the surprise attack can achieve a great victory, I really can't imagine what kind of despicable face this person will have after returning."

"I don't care." Qiu Changtian said with a carefree smile, "As long as Kunlun can win, it's fine."

Xu Yinglian didn't say anything, thinking to himself that if Master Yun Hong won, you, senior brother, would be so broad-minded and not care about it, but I would be speechless!

No... Is Senior Brother really that magnanimous?

Song He, the last person who went against his senior brother, is still in prison!

Thinking of this, Xu Yinglian suddenly came to his senses.

The senior brother had already determined that Zhao Jinghong would fail, so he didn't take him seriously at all!

Haha, Zhao Jinghong thought he had a good plan, but he didn't expect that my senior brother had already seen through it.

So Xu Yinglian became full of confidence again.

Qiu Changtian watched his junior sister's expression from the side, which changed from disgust and aversion to thoughtfulness and then to calmness and composure. He had no idea what kind of mental journey she had gone through, but was secretly very curious.

There is no need to talk about what happened next. Since the two people's strategic propositions have parted ways, and the Xu and Zhao families are openly in opposition, they can only do their own things.

Zhao Jinghong organized a team to launch a surprise attack on Beimang Mountain, while Qiu Changtian focused on arranging the defense of Guanzhong and dispatching various personnel and materials.

The two of them seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they were paying more attention to the other side's situation than anyone else - of course, the kind of attention that made them want the other side to fail immediately.

The more Qiu Changtian looked at Zhao Jinghong's plan, the more he felt that it was full of loopholes... He didn't really think that such a crude plan would work, did he? No way, no way?

A Jing, read the save file of Wei Dongliu!
