Chapter 452 You Give It a Go
At the foot of Yuqing Mountain, Hu Yuling looked at the woman shrouded in black robes, and felt a chill in her heart.
This was her first time meeting the leader in person. All she had seen before were clones and phantoms. None of what she saw or felt was real.
Now that she had met the leader, she realized that in front of the leader, she could not distinguish between reality and illusion.
Her mind told her that the leader in front of her should be his real self, but from a feeling point of view, she couldn't tell it, and even felt that the leader in front of her was just an illusion.
"Everyone says that Yuxuan has a plan that is perfect and her Taoism is profound, but it turns out she is just like this."
The leader found that he might have overestimated Yuxuan. When she was at the foot of the mountain, she could influence the people on Yuqing Terrace, making them panic, and after panic, she could make them angry.
She had no intention of disrupting the championship conference. This was just an appetizer for her competition with Yuxuan. Moreover, holding the championship conference was also profitable for her.
Those who participate in the championship conference already have a competitive spirit. She only needs to guide them a little and it will be easy to start a big war. By then, the enemy will be weak and she will be strong, and then she will have a decisive battle with Yuxuan, and she will have a better chance of winning.
However, she made some secret moves, but Yuxuan was completely unaware of it, which made the leader look down on her.
Hu Yuling said, "Maybe Yuxuan is pretending not to notice. We are risking everything, so we should be more careful."
Refuting the leader's opinions is Hu Yuling's best strategy as an undercover agent.
How can you gain the trust of others? The answer is simple: you just have to disagree with his point of view.
This is what Hu Yuling did in the Shenxiao Sect. Everyone knew that Hu Yuling and Fang Yu did not get along, and even formed two factions within the Shenxiao Sect. But no one suspected that Hu Yuling was a traitor. Everyone felt that Hu Yuling was an upright person, she just had different opinions from Fang Yu, and she was seriously considering the sect.
If Lin Yun hadn't accidentally destroyed Hu Yuling's house by using magic, Hu Yuling might have become the sect leader now.
Now that Hu Yuling is a traitor in the demon clan, of course the same tactics can be used.
If she wants to gain trust and just obeys the leader, the leader may think that she is just a small follower who curries favor with the leader.
There are two situations when opposing her opinion. One is that after opposing, after listening to the leader's explanation, she looks convinced, as if she has suddenly realized something, which makes the leader very happy and feels particularly accomplished.
The second type is to oppose to the end, such as in the current situation, asking the leader to be careful. Even if she is wrong in the end, the leader will not blame her, but will only think that she is very cautious.
There's nothing wrong with being careful, and this isn't really a shortcoming.
When being an undercover agent, routines and calculations are inevitable.
As expected, the leader smiled nonchalantly and said, "You underestimate my magical powers."
Having said that, she did not mean to blame Hu Yuling, but patiently explained: "Don't worry, no matter what Yuxuan thinks, I will be cautious enough."
Hu Yuling nodded, and the two of them looked at the scene presented in Yuqingtai together.
Yuxuan watched the panic spread, and he did not respond. He continued, "The world has been divided for a long time. If you want to deal with the demons, you should unite, put aside your prejudices, and fight against foreign enemies together."
Zhang Biyu couldn't help but sigh. The timing of the demon's attack was just right.
After Hu Yuling's identity was exposed, everyone became wary of the appearance of the demons. It happened that the demons were causing chaos and the grasslands were invading the border. All parties in the Central Plains had to face the open enemies while also worrying about the demons causing trouble.
Under tremendous pressure, the monks in the Central Plains were united as one, with the imperial court just watching the show. Despite this, they did not lag behind.
As a result, the demons, who had been on guard for a long time, never showed up at all, and did not cause trouble while the Central Plains was under attack from all sides.
Not long after, the Central Plains repelled the demon tribe and contained the grassland. Before complete peace was achieved, the imperial court took the lead in launching an attack. During this period, some unexpected events occurred, and several top masters died, leading to an imbalance of power. The original strategic alliance collapsed in an instant, turning into the current fragmented situation.
At this time, even if the demons jump out to cause trouble again, it can still put pressure on people, but it is impossible to make the cultivators in the Central Plains put aside their past grudges as before.
At least, even if they agreed to form an alliance, they would not fight with as much dedication as before.
No wonder Yuxuan said before that the killing calamity has never subsided. Instead, because it was too smooth, the killing calamity has become more powerful.
This time, it is more difficult for them to resist. Even if they reach the realm of knowing destiny, there will be a risk of death.
"Sister Hongyue, what do you think?"
The three hundred-year-old Dongfang Hongyue is the youngest among the three great demon cult leaders, so Zhang Biyu has always called her that, calling her a sister, which also helps to bring the two closer.
Dongfang Hongyue didn’t care about this in the past, but now, when she heard the words “sisters”, she felt a nameless anger rising in her heart.
"What can I do? If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Whatever happens, it's up to you."
Zhang Biyu: “???”
Why is Dongfang Hongyue so angry today?
Following Dongfang Hongyue's gaze, she saw Fang Yu.
Fang Yu was sitting there, her hand stroking her sword.
Oh, Fang Yu changed his sword. That’s nothing. A swordsman uses spiritual power to maintain his sword. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?
By the way, Fang Yu's sword is pretty good looking. But what does this have to do with Dongfang Hongyue?
Could it be that these two people have become enemies again?
Zhang Biyu pondered for a long time, but she couldn't figure out that the reason why Dongfang Hongyue was angry was actually because of the two words on the sword.
Clouds and rain.
The sensitive Dongfang Hongyue immediately thought of Lin Yun and Fang Yu.
Does this traitor have to betray his teacher and ancestors?
Dongfang Hongyue was so angry that her teeth were itching. Based on her intuition, she believed that she was not wrong.
In this case, it is not difficult to understand why her eyes were burning with anger.
While the two were talking in private, Yue Ningshuang stood up and said loudly, "Master, isn't this summit meeting supposed to be about discussing the fact that Fang Yu and Lin Yu from the Divine Sky Sect broke their agreement and attacked the royal family? To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. If the internal strife is not eliminated, we will not be able to work together to resist the foreign enemies."
Yue Ningshuang's words directly attracted everyone's attention, and the focus immediately fell on the Shenxiao Sect. Fang Yu remained calm and continued to stroke his sword indifferently, but Jiang Chenyu, who had known Fang Yu for many years, realized that Fang Yu was about to swing his sword and kill someone.
It's really not easy for her to tolerate Yue Ningshuang until today, given her bad temper.
However, how will Yuxuan deal with it?
Jiang Chenyu deduced that Yuxuan would tell the truth, vindicate the Shenxiao Sect, and then call on everyone to slay demons and eliminate evil together.
This is considered normal development. However, in the current situation, if this is really the case, without a strong mobilization and everyone being divided, the fight against the demons may not be as smooth as the fight against the monsters before.
By the way, there is no guarantee that the demon clan will not make a comeback at this time. So many masters have died in the Central Plains, and I don’t know if they can hold on.
Anyway...
What does this have to do with me? I am just a former palace master whose cultivation was abolished.
Jiang Chenyu has completely become a salted fish, but the happiness of a salted fish is that she does not have to worry about any big things and is very comfortable.
Of course, in order to be able to live a comfortable life as a lazy guy, she still needs some strong teammates. Otherwise, when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. If she keeps slacking off and all her strong teammates die, that would be really tragic.
However, Fang Yu and Lin Yu are so powerful, they should be able to hold on, right?
Jiang Chenyu was still thinking divergently, and Yuxuan also began to respond to Yue Ningshuang's questions.
"The last emperor of the Great Zhou was already a cultivator at the Fate Knowing Realm. The Divine Sky Sect's action against him was not against the rules."
Sure enough, as expected, the Taiqing Taoist temple still protected the Shenxiao Sect. After all, the Shenxiao Sect also adhered to the righteous path, and what they did in the end also resolved a very big crisis for the human race.
Yue Ningshuang's face looked a little unhappy. Last time she saw that Yuxuan was trying to protect the Shenxiao Sect again. She didn't expect that Yuxuan would not hide it at all now. Damn it!
"Zhao Haode was unworthy of his position and reaped the consequences. Others should not blame him. Besides, this is also God's will. After this catastrophe, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer capable of dominating the Central Plains. When the old dynasty falls, a new emperor will emerge. This is the purpose of this conference.
Since you all have the ambition to conquer the world, why not give it a try? After you have decided the winner, you can work together to fight against the demons. What do you think?"
Every word of Yuxuan's words could be heard clearly, and because they were heard clearly, the greater the shock it brought to them.
Everyone was stunned. They guessed the beginning but not the ending.
No one expected that Yuxuan convened the conference to tell everyone to fight with all their might, because whoever wins will have to fight against the demons in the end.
What a rip off!
There is a tribe of demons in the south. They were recently defeated and are now licking their wounds. Once they get a chance, they will not give up and come to the Central Plains to attack.
The situation in the northern grasslands is even more straightforward. They have already taken action.
Under such circumstances, Yuxuan actually encouraged infighting.
My goodness, they had to join hands to barely resist the battle lines on the north and south sides. Now there are more demons, who can withstand it?
If the civil war continues, it will really be a case of the fisherman benefiting from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.
Eh, that's not right. Could it be that Yuxuan is speaking sarcastically?
Yue Ningshuang felt that this idea might be correct, and Yuxuan was using this method to persuade them to unite.
No one would really be fooled, right?
At the bottom of the mountain, the demon leader stomped his feet in anger after hearing Yuxuan’s words.
"How dare you, stinky Taoist priest, look down on us demons like that!"
She felt insulted. Yuxuan was so confident. After the human race was torn apart, could they still fight against the demons?
"Chief, don't be angry. This may be a provocation."
"No, I have to let her see how powerful our demon clan is!"
Hu Yuling: “…”
Why is the leader, who has been timid for so many years, so reckless today?
Could it be that Yuxuan did something to her?
