After Cao Wenjin said his decision, everyone was shocked!
Zhou Yang is no exception.
He thought that Cao Wenjin had gathered his troops to round up and kill a certain fifth-level monster. After all, the "Outer Elixir Golden Pill" was quite famous in the world of immortal cultivation. When the golden elixir stage monks were facing the end of their generation, Huang Shamen chose to rely on
This method is also normal for maintaining the sect's inheritance and status.
But he never expected that Cao Wenjin would want to surround and kill two fifth-level monsters at once, and he would not hesitate to use all his strength to attack a super large oasis inhabited by two fifth-order monsters and more than a dozen fourth-order monsters.
!
According to the information disclosed by Cao Wenjin himself, we can know that the strength of the monsters on the super large oasis is definitely not much weaker than that of Huang Shamen.
In this case, even if Huang Shamen's side can win in the end, it will definitely be a tragic victory in which the enemy will be killed by one thousand and he will suffer eight hundred losses!
"This is a blatant attempt to push us into a pit of fire to die!"
Zhou Yang looked up at Cao Wenjin with a gloomy expression, his heart as cold as ice.
With his wisdom, he certainly understood what Cao Wenjin's purpose was.
By doing this, Cao Wenjin could not only use this expedition to Rhinoceros Continent to obtain the fifth-level monster elixir for refining the "Outer elixir golden elixir" for the sect, but also take the opportunity to reduce the strength of various vassal cultivating families, making these families unable to compete with him.
After the death of Zuo Hua, they unite to defeat the superiors and destroy Huang Shamen.
It was only at this time that Zhou Yang knew why no inside information about Huang Shamen's recruitment order had been leaked. He was almost 100% sure that before Cao Wenjin made this decision, there was absolutely no second choice in Huang Shamen.
The monk knew his plan.
As long as someone knows this news and leaks it, the number of monks who can be summoned today will definitely be less than half of the number at this time. I am afraid that none of the Zifu period monks will come!
But now, all these people are here, and they are all under Cao Wenjin's eyes. If anyone dares to escape at this time, Cao Wenjin will immediately take his head to sacrifice to the flag.
A nine-level cultivator from the Purple Mansion who is as powerful as the ancestor of the Chen family may have some chance to escape when meeting a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core. However, in front of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator like Cao Wenjin, there is only half a chance.
No.
In particular, most of these Zifu period monks know that Cao Wenjin possesses a powerful secret technique of spiritual attack. Even if they want to use secret techniques such as "Blood Escape Technique" to escape, as long as they can't escape in one breath,
Escape from Cao Wenjin's spiritual consciousness, and the final result is probably a dead end!
Participating in the expedition to the Rhinoceros Continent means a narrow escape from death. If you don't participate, you will probably die without a chance, and after your death, your entire family may be wiped out.
Everyone knows how to choose.
So Zhou Yang glanced at the more than a hundred foundation-building monks outside the General Affairs Hall. Although everyone looked angry and frightened when he saw these people, no one really dared to stand up and say anything.
There is a saying that goes well, if the king wants his minister to die, he must die!
This sentence has different understandings from different angles, but no matter which understanding, the result is the same.
In the boundless sea of sand cultivation world, Huang Shamen is the king, and Cao Wenjin, the golden elixir stage monk, is the king. Whoever he wants to die, no one can escape death!
Perhaps, in the future, the family histories of many immortal cultivating families in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation World will describe Cao Wenjin as a "tyrant" and an "unforgivable person", but this will not change the fact that a "tyrant" is also a king.
Cao Wenjin in the sky naturally had a panoramic view of the expressions of many family monks in front of the General Affairs Hall.
He had already anticipated the reaction of these people. In fact, it was not easy for him to make this decision.
He knows better than anyone how big the impact will be after his decision is made.
This decision affected not only his personal reputation after death, but also Huang Shamen's reputation and changes in all aspects.
It is foreseeable that even if everything goes as smoothly as he expected this time, when he passes away in the incarnation, the boundless sea of sand and immortal world will no longer be as peaceful as it is now.
Although the "outside golden elixir" can allow the ninth-level monks of the Purple Mansion to exert the combat power of the early golden elixir monks, it is not a real golden elixir monk after all. Not only will there be no increase in lifespan, but also they will not obtain the golden elixir phase monks.
The magical power and the coverage of spiritual consciousness are not as good as those of real Golden Core monks. They are just monks whose magic power has reached the Golden Core stage.
This kind of monk who is called the "pseudo golden elixir" in the world of immortality, if he relies on the mountain gate formation, he is not much worse than the normal golden elixir stage monks who preside over the formation. However, if he wants to go out to fight with others, he will definitely not be able to compete with the real ones.
Compared with the monks at the Golden Core Stage.
Those Zifu monks may not be able to escape from the real Golden Core monks, but when they encounter "pseudo-Golden Core" monks, they still have a good chance of escaping with their lives even if they are defeated.
By then, this boundless sea of sand and the world of immortal cultivation will definitely no longer be as turbulent as they are now.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I have done everything I can. If Yu Yan and the others are still unable to maintain the sect's inheritance and suppress the situation, then it is God's will. It is my destiny, Huang Shamen, to suffer calamity!"
There was a long sigh in his heart, but Cao Wenjin's face was full of energy. He stared majestically at the large group of vassal monks outside the General Affairs Hall, and shouted in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who objects to Cao's decision?"
silence!
Only silence!
No one dared to object, but no one agreed, so we could only respond with silence.
Probably this kind of silence is the only resistance Zhou Yang and others can make now.
But this kind of silent resistance obviously couldn't make Cao Wenjin change his decision.
He nodded slightly in a cold voice and said: "Very good, since no one objects, then from now on, no one is allowed to leave the mountain gate. In ten days, Cao will personally lead the army to attack Rhinoceros Island!"
After saying that, the others descended to the ground, then gathered their breath and mobilized their troops.
If they were to conquer a super-large oasis like Rhinoceros Continent, it would be impossible for them to win with Zhou Yang and other vassal monks alone and Cao Wenjin himself.
So this time, not only Zhou Yang and the others are going, but more than half of the Zifu monks and foundation-building monks in Huangshamen are also going.
Even in order to increase the winning rate, Cao Wenjin specially opened the secret room in the deepest part of the sect's treasury and took out seven fourth-level puppet beasts that had been sealed in it as treasures to suppress the sect, as well as more than ten "beast soul talismans".
These fourth-level puppet beasts have been accumulated piece by piece by Huangshamen over thousands of years. After each puppet beast was refined, it was directly put into the secret room deep in the treasure house.
When the danger is most critical, don't move lightly.
At the same time, those Huangshamen foundation-building monks who were included in this expedition received free third-level talismans, healing pills, and even third-level puppet beasts issued by the sect.
Zhou Yuanchen of the Zhou family unfortunately became one of them.
When Zhou Yang learned that Zhou Yuanchen was also among the monks in the expedition, his face couldn't help but look a little uglier.
Although Zhou Yuanchen has been building foundations for decades, his current cultivation level is only at the third level of foundation building. Logically speaking, he should not be in the queue of monks for this expedition.
But he was included among them. If there was nothing fishy about it, even if he beat Zhou Yang to death, he wouldn't believe it.
"It's not enough to push us monks from vassal families into a pit of fire. Do we also need to take the opportunity to cleanse the sect's monks from vassal families?"
Zhou Yang felt a chill in his heart, and gained a new understanding of Cao Wenjin's ruthlessness.
He is considered a monk from the vassal family who gets along relatively well with Cao Wenjin, and he understands Cao Wenjin better than 99% of the foundation-building monks.
It's just that the Cao Wenjin he knew before, although he acted a bit arbitrary and arrogant, at least he still paid attention to appearance and saved face.
But now, Cao Wenjin no longer has any scruples, showing his cruel and sinister side.
Comparing the two Cao Wenjin who had changed greatly before and after, Zhou Yang somehow thought of the ancestor of the Chen family again.
Wasn't the original ancestor of the Chen family also a highly respected elder, a virtuous man who knew how to repay his kindness?
But when the Zhou family gradually emerged and gained momentum to threaten the status of the Chen family.
This respected old man, without any regard for the friendship between the two families for more than two hundred years, did not hesitate to push Zhou Minghan, a junior of the Zhou family whom he had watched grow up, into the fire pit. He did not show mercy at all.
He died.
Why is this?
Could it be that the previous appearances of these two high-level monks were just disguises, and is the side now exposed their true appearance?
Zhou Yang was silent in his heart, he knew that was not the case.
A person can pretend for a year, ten years or even decades, but it is certainly impossible to pretend for a hundred or hundreds of years.
The changes in temperament between Cao Wenjin and Chen family ancestors actually have one obvious thing in common, that is, both the sect and the family have been threatened by the outside world.
Under the threat from the outside world, they know that using mild means can no longer eliminate the threat before they die, so they start to take extreme measures to try to eliminate the threat.
"In order to maintain the interests of the sect and the family from being damaged, they believe that the interests of the sect and the family are paramount, so they will not hesitate to abandon external things such as reputation and friendship that they think can be discarded, and choose to use fierce and extreme means to protect the sect and the family.
Family interests!”
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood the whole story.
Then he seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
Because he suddenly thought of Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of his family. Zhou Minghan had also supported the family on his own and was also a person who believed in the interests of the family first.
If the Zhou family faced the same situation as Huang Shamen and the Chen family today, would the old patriarch Zhou Minghan choose the same approach as Cao Wenjin and the ancestors of the Chen family?
