Chapter 639 The Instigator
"Not really, it's just a matter of planning ahead."
Dongxue seemed to have figured something out and continued to move forward.
"You mean, if the crowd stops coming, the Zamai people will find ways to deal with us?"
Qingmei is not stupid, she finally reacted, "Wouldn't that be a big deal?"
"There is an old saying in my hometown, which is to first fight against the enemy at home and then stabilize the outside world. It means that if you want to expand your territory to the outside world, you must first resolve internal conflicts. But if the external enemies are uncontrollable, you must first compromise internally and maintain consistency.
To the outside world, what you just said is not impossible, but it depends on the seriousness of the human race’s Holy Judgment and whether we Kunlun people are that big of a threat to them.”
"So are we a big threat to them?"
Qingmei knew very little about the human world outside Chengtian and could not judge the external structure at all.
"Based on what we know so far, it's hard to judge."
Dongxue turned around and walked into a pastry shop, found a seat by the window and sat down, and ordered two desserts from the waiter who came running over.
Qingmei frowned and was deep in thought, while Dongxue, who was sitting opposite her, looked out the window quietly.
The exquisite desserts were placed in front of the two of them. Dongxue just glanced at them, and the desserts became cold.
"how?"
Seeing that Qingmei had no intention of moving, Dongxue asked in surprise.
"I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."
Qingmei shook her head and said dejectedly.
Dongxue smiled slightly and said softly, "Maybe it's because of what I just said."
Qingmei nodded and hummed, "My great-grandfather, eldest father, and seventeen close relatives in the clan all died in the Battle of Ancestors."
Dongxue scooped up a small piece of cold dessert with a spoon and brought it to Qingmei's mouth, "So, we can't let this happen again."
Qingmei opened her little mouth, and the dessert went into her mouth. It was sweet and refreshing.
"And this is just a possibility. We are not the only ones who are worried about Zamai."
Hearing Dongxue say this, Qingmei's expression relaxed a lot.
"But don't you think it's strange? That's a swarm of ferocious beasts. It's very difficult for the Zamai garrison to kill one of them. In a ferocious wasteland, what kind of monsters would it take to do it?"
Dongxue held up her chin with one hand, as if Qingmei's words also aroused her curiosity.
"Indeed...but what about the motive? Are there any benefits to doing this? Or...a strong man who can block the entire wave cannot be forced to do it...
..The orcs are killing each other? Or is there some huge secret hidden in the Yunlan Ladder?"
Dongxue muttered to herself, guessing again and again, and denying herself again and again.
"Let me tell you, on that Yunlan Ladder, there must be a human Holy See."
Qingmei said confidently.
Dong Xue smiled and said nothing. She had thought of this answer from the beginning. For the welfare of his people, a strong man from the human race was willing to guard the far frontier alone and defend and deter the evil tide with his own strength.
No matter what consequences his actions may have, his intentions are definitely good.
But there are still those questions. If there is such a powerful person, what is his motive? Why is he outside the sand and in the wilderness? And why is he chosen to be on the Yunlan Ladder?
Assuming that it is really for the human race to fan the ring, the battle line can be set up in an open area close to where the human race lives. The countless corpses of ferocious beasts are also a huge resource for the benefit of the tribe.
Moreover, the danger hidden in the bone burial sand will also weaken the power of the tide to a certain extent. In addition, the direction of the attack of the vicious beasts is not only the sand. Setting the battlefield in the sand can quickly respond to attacks from other directions.
The invading beast tide can also greatly reduce one's own risk. Even the Holy See will fall.
The most puzzling thing is that the entire human race is completely unaware of this matter.
Everything a strong man at the Holy See level does has a clear purpose, and most of them revolve around the resources in the forbidden land, the land abandoned by the gods. Only by accumulating enough order merits can they obtain
As for the authority to enter forbidden areas, is this kind of quiet attitude of doing good deeds without leaving a name, really like the behavior of a Holy See?
"...That is definitely a peerless hero. One man stands tall, looking down at the dead beasts. That scene, that aura, makes me feel particularly majestic when I think about it."
In front of Qingmei, the little hand holding the spoon kept gesticulating, and she kept making associations for her guesses.
...
Ziwei Peak, Qitian Palace, Kunlun Palace
Seventy-four people stood in the empty hall, including the strong men from Taiyuan Sect, Xuantian Academy, Tianya Hai Pavilion, Yuyin Academy, plus Beiwei Army and Wangxia Army, the Fourth Academy of Pilgrimage and Chengtian Army.
All here.
Five saints, sixty-two wise men, and seven military strategists.
At this moment, nearly half of Chengtian's strongest combat power was gathered in the Kunlun Palace. As for the other half, it was the owner of the suspended throne.
Qi Dongxue's master, one of the first members of Tianyahai Pavilion, Yuanjun Luyan was also among them.
Beside the throne, stood a man in black robes, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic air. Although he was just a messenger, he was not at all restrained when facing many powerful people in the hall. His sharp and bright eyes briefly scanned the people in the hall, and his fingers slightly moved.
Lifting up, the wooden door of the main hall slowly closed, and at the same time, a layer of light appeared around the Kunlun Hall.
"Everyone, you should have read the contents of the summons."
Seeing that no one was speaking, the man in black robe said loudly, "The incoming vicious tide has left the Zamai clan with no time to pay attention. It has also given Chengtian a chance to recuperate. This incident may affect the Zamai's strategy towards Kunlun. This time we have summoned,
This is exactly what we need to discuss."
"Zhuo Junlue, is the source reliable?"
The strong man in bright armor asked in a low voice, his tone was not high, but he was full of power.
"Shuai Fan, the information is accurate."
The man in black robe answered seriously.
"This news has been circulating for a long time, and the Bone Burial Sands has indeed not seen a dangerous wave for a long time. So, is there any change in the human race's hybrid veins in the near future?"
The speaker is wearing a long gray robe, with his hands behind his back, and his body is like a pine tree.
"Back to Chief Xu Shan, the fourteen saints left the forbidden area one after another. The second guard and the five legions left Suzaku and stationed in Huanghai City and Qixian City respectively. The three great regiments of Guangyao, Scarlet Seal, and God Blessing Heaven's Punishment appeared in my presence.
Around the Chengtian territory, a branch of the Kailon clan has joined forces with Qi Xiao, and has assembled a military strength no less than that of the Sixth Joint Battle in their territory. In addition, Holy See Noah has left the forbidden area."
There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.
In the sandbox in everyone's mind, the chess game in which the entire Chengtian was besieged by powerful powers still appeared.
"If this is true, it may be unavoidable for Zu Cheng to fight again,"
The man in gray robe said seriously.
"Zhaimai is like this, he is a little too impatient. If he only lacks this fierce tide, he will set up this siege. There must be something fishy here."
A boy who looked to be no more than a spoon dancer narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that Zamai blamed the death of the Lord of Huanghai City on our Chengtian?"
"It is indeed possible to return to the Pavilion Master."
The man in black robe next to the throne said, "Including the three tribes of Youshan City and Li Nan, Bingzhi, and Guiying, which were recently expelled by my king's army, the Zamai tribe is also quite dissatisfied. The garrison army once sent people here
He asked, but I pushed him away."
"Chengtian and Zamai have made an agreement a long time ago. If the human king does not enter the forbidden area, Chengtian will not be controlled. Do they want to break the oath?"
Someone shouted angrily.
"Chengtian guards the Jingtian Plain, but Zamai colludes with the horse people in the north, associates with foreign tribes, and kills the tribesmen. It is sad and ridiculous."
Someone sneered.
"Zhuo Junlue, no need to say more, let's fight."
Someone shouted for a fight.
The strong men in the palace are not vulgar people. Everyone has the same position, but they think about the problem from different angles.
"Zhuo Junlue, what is it that blocks the tide of evil in the wilderness?"
Among the many discussions, someone asked.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Perhaps, the answer to this question is the key.
"The mourning bird exchanged a message for a sea mushroom core in Suzaku City. The general content of the message has been learned by our spies stationed in Suzaku," Zhuo Fan, the man in black robe and Chengtian's chief military strategist, paused.
After a pause, he continued, "In the Yunlan Ladder, the former fortress of the human race, a holy beast and countless corpses blocked the path of the evil tide. The initiator of all this was a human disaster, and it is very possible that
