Liu Yizi thought about it again and again and found Gu Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to arrange for Yuanying to take action? It is a little inconsistent with our previous plan. We will no longer be able to hide in the dark. Do you want to reconsider it?"
Gu Ming put down the jade slip in his hand and looked at Liu Yizi.
He waved outside and called a monk from the temple, "Call all the Yuanying elders."
"Friend Gu Dao, what are you doing..."
"There are some things you may not understand, so I'd like to take this opportunity to explain them."
Seeing Gu Ming say this, Liu Yizi didn't say anything more.
Quietly waiting for the Nascent Soul cultivators to arrive.
Soon, the Nascent Soul cultivators came to the hall with doubts. They couldn't help but be confused. Some cultivators had already planned to set off.
"Master Gu, you called us here?"
The monk who asked the question was one of the two people that Gu Ming rescued from Zheng Sanjin. After returning to the temple, these two people were very positive and active in all aspects.
It’s just like when you were in school, you took a leave of absence for a month or two, and then returned to campus, trying to express yourself in various ways and return to your previous circle so as not to seem so out of place.
"Deputy Hall Master Liu has some different opinions on this move, so I'll call everyone to come and listen."
"The Sea Tribe Temple in the outer sea is not a place where I, Gu, have the final say. We need to listen to all sides and make corrections if necessary, so that everyone can understand our thoughts and ideas."
Gu Ming's words were very frank. Regardless of whether he was the one who had the final say in reality, at this moment he gave full respect to all the Nascent Soul cultivators, at least on the surface.
"Deputy Hall Master Liu, tell me what you think."
After Liu Yizi was named, he was stunned for a moment. His original intention was to give Gu Ming a small reminder, but he did not expect to express his own ideas in such an occasion.
What's more, this is not a different opinion, it's just that I feel it is a little bit different from before.
Facing the puzzled looks from other Nascent Soul cultivators, Liu Yizi felt a little complicated.
It feels like you have been pushed to the opposite side?
"I'm just reminding the hall master that the task given to us by Neihai before was to develop forces in secret. Once Neihai launches the plan, we can just coordinate and follow up."
Liu Yizi moved out the Inner Sea Holy Temple out of habit.
I didn't notice that after he said this, several monks frowned.
"Are we being too radical now? If we anger this overlord, we will either withdraw from this sea area or fight back."
"If they don't want to expose too much power and withdraw from the sea area, will other sea areas follow suit?"
"If we are unwilling to withdraw from the tit-for-tat confrontation, will it lead to an open fight? Will the news spread to the Inland Sea and have any impact on the Inland Sea Church's plan?"
What Liu Yizi said actually made a lot of sense. After a few people frowned, they seemed to agree with this statement.
I'm not opposing just for the sake of opposing, it seems like I really have some ideas.
Everyone looked at Gu Ming. Regardless of whether what Liu Yizi said made sense or not, to put it bluntly, it was just an extension of the struggle between the chief and deputy hall masters.
At least that's how it seemed to them.
Gu Ming put down the tea bowl in his hand, smiled at everyone, and then spoke.
"What Vice-Hall Master Liu said makes sense, but his view of the situation in the outer sea is still not accurate enough."
"We can no longer hide, just like the Sea Tribe Temple is in the Inland Sea."
Why did Gu Ming take this action at this time? This was after comprehensive consideration from many aspects, including the fact that the Sea Clan’s Holy Hall in the Inner Sea had almost come to the fore.
"Everyone is aware of our development speed in the past few years. You should be able to see it from the affairs of the temple you have handled."
"We are now like the Utsumi Sanctuary. We can no longer hide. We already know everything we need to know. There is no point in hiding any further."
"This time we have to put ourselves out in the open and let those Yuanying forces know of our existence. There is no need to hide it. Right now, these overlord forces are in a period of weakness. They are very happy to see the emergence of a being that can challenge those overlords."
"Similarly, we also need an opportunity to expand again. Opportunities will not appear on their own, so I have to create this opportunity."
Liu Yizi understood what Gu Ming meant.
"Let's take a step back. What if we do this and end up causing resentment from those who originally supported us and wanted to join our Jindan forces?"
"Deputy Hall Master Liu, and everyone else, this is up to you. Be quick and decisive, and don't leave any loopholes."
"Fellow ancient Taoist..."
Seeing that Liu Yizi was about to speak, Gu Ming waved his hand to signal him to shut up for the time being, allowing the permission dog to start showing its power.
"Time is running out, let's not talk about these things. I know that Deputy Hall Master Liu is a little unhappy about what happened before."
"But now is not the time to talk about that. You objected, and I explained it to you. I think it was reasonable. I also wanted to develop in a low-key manner like before, but the reality does not allow it."
"Deputy Hall Master Liu's suggestions are good, but they are too rigid. Just like the time when you were managing the Holy Hall, you put two fellow Taoists in jail, causing our development to not only stagnate, but also suffer heavy losses."
"I understand your personal opinions about me, but I still hope that you can carry out my plan. As for the rest, we can discuss it after we succeed, or you can send a message to Utsumi."
Each and every one of these was Liu Yizi's "glorious achievement", and the Nascent Soul cultivators' trust in him or his plan had already dropped to freezing point.
Gu Ming brought it up again in order to deepen everyone's stereotype, and secondly to provoke the two fellow Taoists a little bit. You see, Liu Yizi only knows how to fight among himself, and there is nothing he would not do for the sake of our great cause.
"Just do as I say. Don't worry, as long as you don't make any mistakes, we will definitely be able to gain a better space for development."
In ancient times, people never had the final say. Only one person would make the final decision.
Liu Yizi finally understood. This was not about explaining anything to everyone, this was about dragging him out and whipping his corpse.
Gu Ming wasn't such a petty person before. Why has he become like this now, not willing to listen to other people's opinions at all?
He felt a little melancholy. He really didn't have any other thoughts this time. He was sincerely considering the Outer Sea Temple.
After Gu Ming watched them all leave, he returned to his cave.
He instructed the monks below that he would be in seclusion recently and needed to think about how to deal with what might happen next, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
After entering the cave, he jumped directly into the spiritual spring. He had already opened up a channel below the spiritual spring, leading to an underground river and directly reaching the boundless sea.
He wanted to follow Liu Yizi to save those Tianbo Sect monks who were about to suffer disaster.
