Chapter 422 The Heavenly Emperor Palms the Dragon(1/2)
Li Ping'an closed the door to thank his guests, learned about Taoism and practiced Zen, and remained here peacefully.
It became extremely lively outside.
Li Dazhi was the first to make efforts to widely publicize the "Emperor of Heaven's expulsion of the innate gods and demons" in Dongzhou, Xizhou, the Kongmeng Realm and the areas covered by heavenly forces.
——Resisting the innate gods and demons is to expel foreign enemies and protect the ancient world. It is of far-reaching significance and must be promoted well.
However, just as Heavenly Court was conducting positive publicity, some rumors began to appear within the human race's sphere of influence.
The content of the rumor is simple:
[The ancient dragon world was destroyed by the innate gods and demons. The dragon clan wants to return to the main world and compete with the human race for the four continents. 】
The destructive power of this rumor is huge.
A large number of Qi Refiners left the main world and headed towards the direction where the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan were coming.
This rumor only spread for half a day, and the Heavenly Court posted notices in various cities on the East and West continents of the main world to refute the rumor.
[The dragon clan will not have a direct dispute with the human clan, they just want to return to the main world and settle down. 】
These notices had a clear backlash.
A large number of 'human radicals' came forward. They rushed to Dong'an City, to the entrance to the secret realm of Xuanyuan Palace and the entrance to the Notre Dame Palace. They raised their arms and shouted, 'Protect the land of the human race', criticizing the Heavenly Court for betraying the interests of the human race in order to win over the Dragon Clan.
On the surface, this situation quickly developed out of control.
The students of the Heavenly Academy in the Notre Dame Palace debated with these radicals. The young people were very angry and would fight if they disagreed.
Fortunately, several elders of the Zhuyun Sect passed by by chance and broke up the fight. No lives were lost, only two or three people were injured and some immortal blood was shed.
This incident alarmed all the old women in the Notre Dame Palace and spread the news in Dongzhou.
Several Xuanyuan ministers rushed out of Xuanyuan Palace;
A group of veteran heroes flew out of ASEAN;
These veterans went around putting out fires and preaching to the human race that the Dragon Clan had helped the Human Race and would not be enemies of the Human Race at this moment. The Dragon Clan just wanted a place to stay.
Not only did Lao Chen's efforts to put out the fire have no positive effect, it actually confirmed the Dragon Clan's intention to come and settle in the Lord's Heaven and Earth.
There is an invisible big hand behind this, using more than a dozen major cities as the engine of the rhythm of public opinion, constantly controlling the direction of public opinion.
Where have the ancient Qi practitioners ever experienced such a thing?
The direction of public opinion in various places soon became what the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to see...
"Now that Heaven wants to use the Dragon Clan, it will definitely show favor to the Dragon Clan. Although we can understand His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's painstaking efforts, if the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan return to dominate the world, will it still be our human race that has the final say over the world?"
"The martyrs of the human race overcame all obstacles and opened up such a prosperous age for us. If we can't even defend the heaven and earth, wouldn't we be ashamed of our ancestors!"
"The Dragon Clan is the ancient overlord, how can it be possible for it to be inferior to the Human Clan!"
"Is heaven still the heaven of our human race?"
That's roughly it.
However, on the fifth and sixth days, there was an uproar everywhere in the Great Desolate World. Although the Kongmeng Realm was still stable, rumors were spreading everywhere. Zi Yao and Wang Shan, who were in charge of internal affairs, were helpless.
Wang Shan and the others didn't know who was behind the scenes, adding fuel to the fire.
The instigator of this matter is currently sitting in the elegant room of the teahouse in Dong'an City, listening to the song, looking at Xiao Wu, and taking a sip of tea happily.
He was slightly chubby, dressed in a scarlet robe, his long hair was simply tied up, his fair face always had a cheerful smile, and there was a glint in his eyes from time to time.
Who is it if it’s not Li Dazhi?
Stirring the world and igniting the public opinion of the human race is part of the plan of their father and son.
There was a shadow swaying gently in the corner of the private room. A woman in black walked out quickly, held the back of the chair behind Li Dazhi, and said a few words.
Li Dazhi nodded, thought carefully for a while, and then asked in a voice:
"Are you sure? The aura of dragon clan fighting dragon?"
"It's certain," the woman whispered, "General Dapeng sensed that the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan are mortal enemies, and there will inevitably be various secret methods aimed at each other."
Li Dazhi nodded slightly, closed his eyes and thought for a while, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers.
"Then proceed as planned and start the fourth step. If the news leaks, you know the consequences."
"If there are any mistakes, I will immolate my soul!"
The woman clasped her fists in salute, took two steps back, and hid herself in the corner.
Li Dazhi took a sip of tea and continued to listen to books and watch plays.
Their plan is actually not complicated.
If Heaven wants to subdue the Dragon Clan, it must use both kindness and power to put pressure on the Dragon Clan;
The dragon clan at this stage has just suffered from the invasion of innate gods and demons. The dragon clan has accumulated a lot of heavenly merits through previous work for the heaven, and heaven cannot directly punish these big karma owners.
Since the Dragon Clan has no pressure now, let’s create pressure for them.
Then there were rumors in various places, and there was a big fight in front of the Tiandi Academy.
All the arrangements Li Dazhi made were to make things worse and to use the human race's control over the main world to put pressure on the dragon clan.
In fact, when the Dragon Clan enters the main world, it only returns to the four seas and occupies the waters, while the human Qi Refiners rarely open caves in the waters, and there is no direct intersection between the two.
But now...there is intersection even if there is no intersection.
The dragon clan wants to return to the Lord's Heaven, and the human race is excited.
Li Dazhi learned that the Dragon Clan sent a war dragon to explore the "public opinion" of the human race, and immediately began to advance the next step of the plan.
In just half a day, dozens of large cities in Dongzhou, including Dong'an City, appeared with the theme of "Opposing the Dragon Clan's Invasion of Heaven"...
Procession of immortals.
This was the first large-scale parade in history.
The human Qigong practitioners shouted excitedly in the streets and flew through the air, causing chaos everywhere. The local inspection departments responded quickly and quickly sent out immortal soldiers to control the situation and maintain order.
Heaven took the initiative and sent a group of old immortals to explain everywhere that the Dragon Clan would not be in trouble with the Human Clan... Naturally, it had little effect.
The few war dragons who came here to investigate quickly transmitted the scene that happened in the main world back to the dragon clan's temporary base camp, those big water balls that were not too far away from the main world.
Everyone in the Dragon Clan was very nervous.
Although they are ancient overlords, this kind of scene, this kind of incident...
This was really their first experience.
There was a commotion here in the main world, and the big cloud boat Li Ping'an was riding was not far away from the big water polo that transported the Hai clan.
Li Ping'an seized the opportunity to end the retreat and summoned the immortals for a meeting. Then he began to sigh and sigh, seeming extremely embarrassed, and finally sighed:
"I can't let down the human race, and I don't want to let down the expectations of the dragon race, so what can I do!"
Of course this is also acting.
This sentence naturally reached the ears of the Dragon Clan smoothly.
The father and son, one of them, secretly used this trick, which was very new to the world, to put pressure on the Dragon Clan;
One expresses benevolence, righteousness, gentleness, and the magnanimity and tolerance of heaven.
Although some experts of the Dragon Clan smelled something not quite right, but due to the situation and the general trend, no one dared to say anything. They could only think about countermeasures and find ways to make the human race and heaven accept the Dragon Clan.
Soon, Ao Guang, who was injured, took Ying Long and several of the most senior dragon clan elders, brought enough gifts, and asked to see Li Ping'an.
The secret stalemate between Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan was thus broken.
The dragon clan bows its head, and the heavenly court wins a small victory.
The next frontal negotiation and how this matter ends are the top priority.
…
However, it was said that after the battle in Xuandu City, Kong Xuan left quietly with the masters of the Feng Clan without meeting the masters of the three religions.
Kong Xuan actually didn't like the three Taoist religions very much. In Kong Xuan's view, those self-respecting Chan Jiao Immortals and the Jie Jiao Immortals who harbored evil and evil practices were just lucky enough to have a good teacher.
The Phoenix Clan has a secret realm in the Sea of Chaos. The mountains and rivers in the secret realm are picturesque. The five-color divine light transforms the chaotic aura into the five elements of spiritual power, and raises a group of close relatives of the Phoenix Clan.
This secret realm also hides the entrance to the Immortal Volcano, which is not far from Xuandu City.
Kong Xuan brought the masters of the Feng Clan back to this place, took a short rest, and prepared to observe the changes in the ancient world.
Kong Xuan was extremely concerned about every move of the Dragon Clan.
The spies from the Feng Clan sent news that there was an uproar within the human race and they were opposed to the Dragon Clan's return to the main world... This made Kong Xuan feel happy for most of the day.
Unfortunately, he only laughed for a long time;
Just as Kong Xuan was thinking about how to spread some black information about the Dragon Clan to the Human Race, the Dapeng Bird hurriedly arrived at the Phoenix Clan's secret realm.
Dapeng Bird held a few boxes of Dong'an City's best-selling snacks in his left hand, and in his right hand he held two small boxes of elixirs refined by the top alchemists of the human race, and saluted Kong Xuan.
"Brother, this is a gift from Dazhixian, the Heavenly Emperor's father, the Immortal of the Ministry of Finance in Heaven, to you."
Kong Xuan snorted and said angrily: "Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you still look like the son of Shi Feng?"
