Chapter 351: The name of the devil is gradually rising(1/2)
Liu Yu knows very well that building a "kingdom" and managing a "kingdom" are completely different things.
To a certain extent, managing a country is no less difficult than conquering it.
If you don't want to repeat it again in the future, it will cause endless trouble to yourself.
So when it comes to governance, we must not adopt too simple or crude methods.
"To show our firm stance and determination to support the alliance."
"I sincerely request fellow Taoist Qingyang not to lift the spirit lock restriction yet."
"I have given up the dark side and surrendered to the alliance wholeheartedly. What's the point of a mere soul-locking ban?"
"But in the end, I still have to bear the guilt."
"After the war is over, it won't be too late to lift it."
Xiao Chong stood up and said with a serious face.
He was just a casual cultivator, so he was good at fighting, but he couldn't talk about strategies and local governance.
In order to refresh my sense of existence and to consider some more important considerations, I took the initiative to raise this question.
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the venue!
The cultivators in the seat looked at Xiao Chong with strange eyes. They had different thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't show any of it on their faces.
Liu Yu's face was expressionless, showing no trace of happiness or anger, making it difficult for people to guess his inner thoughts.
He did not answer, but asked the Wei family:
"What do the two Taoist friends from the Wei family think?"
Wei Guping cursed Xiao Chong secretly in her heart. Years of experience made her aware of the sensitivity of this issue.
According to what Xiao Chong said, wouldn't the rush to lift the spirit-locking restriction at this time mean that the position is not firm, and that the alliance is not "loyal" enough?
But after capturing Phoenix Mountain, the restriction will be lifted. This was clearly agreed upon in advance!?
She didn't know how to answer, so she could only look at the patriarch Wei Guangzheng.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is right. We have no intention of surrendering to the Alliance, so why should we rush to lift the spirit-locking ban?"
"Please also ask fellow Taoist Qingyang to take back his life!"
Wei Guangzheng cupped his hands and bent down as he spoke.
But his lowered eyes became a little deeper.
"Several fellow Taoists want to show their loyalty to the alliance and their firm stance. Of course, Liu Yu cannot bear to interfere with such a serious attitude."
"In that case, then let's follow the words of Fellow Daoist Xiao and help a few fellow Daoists!"
Liu Yu sighed softly and said "deeply and deeply".
It seemed that he was truly infected and moved by the "loyalty" of several people.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Qingyang!"
Xiao Chong and the Wei family cupped their hands and said.
Liu Yu nodded with a smile and encouraged the three of them.
Then he stopped smiling, looked around at the cultivators in the seat, and said seriously:
"Every aspect has been discussed and it's almost done. Without further ado, we'll set off immediately!"
"Everything will be implemented according to what was finalized at the meeting."
"Please all fellow Taoists convey your decision to the Qi Refining monks in the team."
"Then now, start gathering the monks and get ready to go!!"
"It's time to completely conquer this area."
The unmistakable voice echoed in the cave and seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
Coupled with the identity of the leader, strong strength, and decisive style of killing, he naturally has a majesty that no one dares to ignore.
"Yes, Senior Brother Liu! (Fellow Taoist Qingyang)"
All the twelve foundation-building monks in the seat stood up, raised their hands heavily and said loudly.
Afterwards, they turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave, and began to gather the monks in the Qi Refining Stage, preparing to implement a plan to fully conquer the 500 miles south of Jinquefang City.
Quietly watching the people leaving, Liu Yu had a smile on her face.
Lift the soul-locking ban now?
He had no intention of doing this from the beginning.
This was just an expedient statement made to appease the monks who had taken refuge.
The destructive power and influence of a foundation-building monk is not small. If a sudden rebellion occurs at a critical moment, it is likely to cause a heavy blow to the team.
As a result, the team suffered heavy casualties, and his plan failed.
If you secretly communicate with the monks of Baiyun Temple and cooperate with them inside and outside, you may even endanger your own life.
Therefore, if there is no means of control, he cannot use it with confidence.
For the sake of his own safety and the safety of his team, even if Xiao Chong did not take the initiative, Liu Yu would find an excuse to delay and postpone the lifting of the spirit lock ban indefinitely.
A gentleman can bully others, and he doesn't mind being a "villain" who goes back on his word once.
At this time, can Xiao Chong and the Wei family still say the word "no"?
…
Yan Kai noticed the improvement of Leng Yuexin's cultivation level and the extremely unstable aura of this woman.
Thinking of the magic skills he practiced and his attitude during the last meeting, it is self-evident what happened.
This made his heart feel inexplicably heavy, as if he was being pressed down by a huge boulder. He rarely spoke during this meeting, and he felt as if his interest was waning.
"Perhaps war is just so cruel."
"Is this the norm in the world of immortality?"
After walking out of the cave and immediately falling behind everyone, Yan Kai let out a soft sigh.
"I was not born in a peaceful era, but in a powerful sect!"
After standing there for a long time, looking at the setting sun in the sky, Yan Kai suddenly came to many realizations.
It seemed that he had figured it out a lot, and his originally depressed mood began to improve, and he no longer hesitated to drive away from the light.
As a disciple of the sect, you should look at all this from the perspective of the sect.
Even if you want to change the current situation of the world of immortality, you have to wait until you are at the top before you can change the rules.
Otherwise, it is just making people laugh.
…
After the strategy and details were finalized, the team took action soon.
In the somewhat dim sky, rays of light soared into the sky, forming a dazzling galaxy like a galaxy.
With Phoenix Mountain as the center, the troops divided into several groups and went in all directions.
After the Bai family was destroyed and the Wei family took refuge, there were only a few weak foundation-building families left in this area, as well as a few casual cultivators in the foundation-building period.
How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife?
At this time, of course, there is no need for the entire team to attack together. You only need to send a few foundation-building monks and some Qi-refining stage disciples to form a detachment.
But even so, facing the remaining families and casual cultivators, they still have an absolute advantage.
In this way, it can also improve a lot of efficiency.
Under this strategic arrangement, the entire team was divided into three groups.
Liu Yu personally led Jiang Qiushui, Wei Guping, two foundation-building monks, and eighty Qi-refining monks to attack the nearest immortal cultivating family.
The other two teams were led by Cui Liang and Yan Kai. Each team had four foundation-building monks and eighty Qi-refining monks. They were also directed towards the territory of a foundation-building force.
Leng Yuexin and the remaining Qi Refining Stage disciples stayed at Phoenix Mountain to guard the territory that had fallen into their hands.
As the three teams came into contact with the immortal cultivating forces in this area, the news that the entire Bai family was wiped out spread completely.
For a time, all the local Yan Kingdom monks and their strength were shocked and had different reactions.
Under the threat of physical death, Taoist destruction and genocide, most monks did not dare to challenge Liu Yu's team directly. They either chose to temporarily retreat from the light to the dark, or simply "complicit in the evil".
Of course, there are also a very small number of monks who, for various reasons, do not understand the general trend and end up on a dead end, and the forces behind them are also implicated.
Sensing the number of casualties in the team and the seven days of preparation time for the capture of Phoenix Mountain, Liu Yu had already taken action and started preparations for the complete conquest.
He has already sent intelligence personnel to spread some news that is beneficial to his side, which is similar to "conquest and payment of documents."
The general idea is that if the monks and forces take the initiative to surrender before the army arrives, not only can their original property and interests be retained, but they can also receive various lenient treatment and generous rewards.
If you surrender after the army arrives, you can retain your original property and benefits, but the special lenient treatment and rewards will be gone.
