When internal conflicts within a power group become increasingly serious and difficult to reconcile, the best way is to launch an external war to divert the conflicts.
The Niguang Alliance is an alliance organization composed of many sects and families, and its internal members are definitely not monolithic, and some sects have even had a history of fighting with each other before.
The main reason why such a loose alliance organization can last for thousands of years is because they have a powerful opponent, an opponent that they dare not disintegrate.
All the high-ranking monks in the Counter-light Alliance know that if the Great Guangming Immortal Palace is not destroyed, the Counter-Light Alliance cannot be disbanded, otherwise no one can stop the Great Guangming Immortal Palace from settling its accounts.
Therefore, every time they encountered an internal conflict that was difficult to reconcile, they would first sit down and talk. After they could not reach an agreement, they would not start a war with each other, but launch a war against the Great Light Asgard, using a certain person in the war.
Internal interests are divided based on the merits established by one party.
As for winning or losing the war, it actually doesn't matter too much, because as long as they don't make any fundamental mistakes, neither side is destined to be able to do anything to the other.
Jin Qu said that the main reason for starting the war was that the higher-ups in the Niguang Alliance were worried that if the war had not started for many years, the monks below would forget about the war and slacken their will to fight. Zhou Yang believed it.
But he knew better that for this reason alone, a war as intense as what Jin Qu said would definitely not break out, and there would be no war between monks above the Golden Core stage.
Therefore, he guessed that there must be some internal conflicts within the Niguang Alliance that were difficult to reconcile, and he was planning to use this war to ease the conflicts and eliminate them.
Jinqu would definitely not dare to tell him about these things. After all, this was a family scandal, how could it be spread so easily?
Of course, Zhou Yang doesn't care much about this. What he cares about is whether this war will have an impact on him.
He looked at Jin Qu with bright eyes and asked in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Jin came to visit, wouldn't it be as simple as just conveying the news to Zhou?"
"Zhou is not a monk in the Backlight Alliance. Even if a war breaks out, unless the monks from the Great Light Immortal Palace invade Jinyang Kingdom, it is impossible for Zhou to go to the battlefield!"
Jin Qu didn't seem surprised that Zhou Yang would ask this. After hearing this, he first glanced at Xiao Ying who was quietly listening to their conversation. After seeing that Zhou Yang didn't react, he said bravely: "That's it.
Yes, fellow Daoist Zhou, you also know that every time there is a war involving high-level monks, we, the member sects of Qingyuan Sword Sect, have to send a certain number of high-level monks to participate in the battle."
"But the few late-stage cultivators of the Zifu in our Qingyuan Sword Sect don't really want to participate in this war, so after discussing with the senior leaders of the sect, several senior brothers decided to pay a high price to hire a powerful person of the same level like Zhou Daoyou.
The monk temporarily joins our Qingyuan Sword Sect as a guest monk and fights on behalf of our Qingyuan Sword Sect!"
There is also such an operation!
Zhou Yang looked at Jin Qu in astonishment and was speechless for a long time.
He had only heard that weak mortal countries would pay high prices to hire mercenaries to help fight in wars. He only heard that teams would pay high prices to hire foreign aid in order to win a good ranking in the competition.
It was completely unexpected that a war between immortal cultivators could be operated in this way.
And judging from Jin Qu's appearance, this kind of operation seems to be normal and not something shameful.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, don't blame me for talking too much. We and I are not short of spiritual stones for cultivation, and we don't need to work as thugs to earn spiritual stones!"
"So fellow Daoist Jin, you'd better invite me back. My husband will definitely not agree to this!"
While Zhou Yang was still shocked by the Qingyuan Sword Sect's saucy moves, Xiao Ying, who had been quietly listening to their conversation next to her, took the initiative to help him reject Jin Qu's request with a tense face.
This was the first time she said such words on behalf of Zhou Yang. Before, she had always been silently hiding behind Zhou Yang and never made a sound.
Of course, what she said is also true.
Zhou Yang and she are indeed not short of spiritual stones. After all, the entire Zhou family has spiritual stones at their disposal, and there is also a spiritual stone mine with tens of millions of reserves that can be mined at any time.
If that doesn't work, they can open their doors to help people refine weapons and elixirs, and they can easily earn the spiritual stones needed for cultivation. There is no need to become mercenaries to earn such a life-threatening amount of money.
Therefore, after Zhou Yang heard what she said, he quickly supported the Taoist fellow and said: "Yes, Zhou just wants to retreat and improve his cultivation level now, and has no idea of going out. I hope fellow Taoist Jin can understand.
"
When Jin Qu heard what he said, he coughed slightly unnaturally and said: "Ahem, since fellow Taoist Zhou is not interested in this matter, Jin naturally does not dare to force it."
After he finished speaking, he paused and then lowered his voice and said: "But please forgive me for Jin's words. Real treasures cannot be bought with spiritual stones. Although you, Daoyou Zhou, are not from our Niguang Alliance, you don't need to participate in the war."
Come, but it also means that you cannot obtain valuable and unmarketable treasures such as [Jade Liquid Golden Pill]."
"On the other hand, if you are willing to participate in the war as a monk of our Counter-Light Alliance, you can exchange the merit points obtained on the battlefield for such treasures. With your strength, fellow Daoist Zhou, you should be able to take this path better than most monks of the same level.
It’s more unobstructed!”
This is true.
Treasures such as the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" were sold by Zhou Yang at the big auction in Xianyang City. It was Xuanyang Immortal Sect who wanted to attract popularity and boost people because of Qingyang Zhenren Nascent Soul Ceremony.
It was specially used for reputation.
At that time, Cao Wenjin got the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" for more than one million spiritual stones, which in his opinion was a sky-high price.
But for him now, if he was given a chance to bid for the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir", not to mention 1.17 million low-grade spiritual stones, but even 1.5 million low-grade spiritual stones, he would be willing!
However, this kind of opportunity is too rare to come across. It is a rare opportunity in the world of Liuyun Continent for a hundred years, let alone the far west.
But this does not mean that Zhou Yang will agree to Jin Qu's request.
His strength is indeed very strong, and can even be described as invincible at the same level.
But on the battlefield, the enemies he faced were not just the Zifu monks of the same level.
If he crazily kills the Zifu monks of the Great Light Immortal Palace on the battlefield in order to accumulate the merits of the Anti-Light Alliance, he will definitely provoke the assassination of the Golden Elixir monks. Not to mention exchanging the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir", it will be a small
Whether one's life can be saved is a question.
And the more limelight he gets, the more people will investigate his identity. Even if they can't find out that he comes from the Immortal Cultivation World of the Boundless Sand Sea, they will know that he is not a monk under the rule of the Niguang Alliance.
In that case, even if he has accumulated enough battlefield merits, it is still unknown whether he can redeem the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" from the Backlight Alliance.
Therefore, Zhou Yang would definitely not take this path unless absolutely necessary.
Anyway, he still has some way to go before forming a pill, and his life span is less than 300 years old, so there is no need to be so impatient.
If that didn't work out, he could still take the risk and go to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent and ask Master Qingyang for help in obtaining a "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir".
Therefore, in response to Jin Qu's highly suggestive words, Zhou Yang's expression did not change at all, and he just said lightly: "Fellow Taoist Jin is interested. If Zhou changes his mind, he will definitely be the first to tell his friend."
In the end, Jin Qu could only leave in despair and look for the next monk willing to accept employment.
After he left, Zhou Yang couldn't help but grab Taoist companion Xiao Ying's beautiful hand and said: "Ying'er, don't worry, I know my husband well, and I will never put myself in danger for a small profit.
"
When Xiao Ying heard what he said, she frowned and said, "Husband, do you mean that if the benefits are big enough, you will be willing to take risks?"
Zhou Yang felt very headache and helpless when he saw her being so serious.
This Taoist monk of mine is good at everything, but he is too naive and novice when it comes to human relations and sophistication. Sometimes people really don't know what to do.
After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Ying's head, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on her white forehead.
Then he looked sternly at the Taoist monk whose pretty face suddenly turned red and said: "Good lady, I don't want to deceive you. Yes, if the benefits are big enough, for example, if Jinqu brings a copy of [Yuye Golden Elixir] today,
Come and ask me to join the battle, I will definitely agree to it, but are he and the Qingyuan Sword Sect willing to pay such a high price?"
"And no matter how great the benefit is, you have to live to enjoy it. If it's the kind of thing that involves nine or even ten deaths, no matter how great the benefit is, it's impossible for my husband to agree to it!"
A high-level monk who has lived for hundreds of years must have a greedy heart and know when to be greedy and when not to be greedy.
If there is no greed for profit, how can we obtain the resources for spiritual practice?
There is no way that high-level monks can have spiritual bodies per capita, or descendants of Nascent Soul stage monks per capita!
Zhou Yang has risked his own life for the sake of huge profits over the years. Although sometimes he will feel scared and grateful for his greedy and risky actions afterwards, if he were asked to choose again, he would probably still go
adventurous.
It is difficult for a monk who has no sense of adventure to climb to the top in this cruel world of immortality.
Those low-level monks who are willing to be ordinary and stay in safe fairy cities or small cities all their lives, relying on working in those shops to earn meager salaries, will find it difficult to even build a foundation in this life, let alone enter the ranks of high-level monks.
.
Even their descendants, if they don't change this mentality, will only be able to wander around in the Qi training period like them throughout their lives.
Zhou Yang has already lived a life like that, and he doesn't want to let himself live a life like that again.
In this life, he has lived for more than two hundred years, and he wants to live longer!
And if he wants to live longer, he must abandon the idea that he will be content with being rich, and he must risk his life at some point to gain a better future.
After listening to her lover's words, Xiao Ying felt her lover's firm and unshakable will and felt helpless in her heart.
She hesitated to speak, and finally sighed softly: "As I said before, no matter what you do, husband, I will always support you!"
"I just hope that husband, when you have to put yourself in danger in the future, you will think more about me and the Zhou family before making a decision!"
