Chapter seven hundred and seventeen the current situation of Dongzhou
Before the meeting of the seven supreme sects, the monks in charge of the seven sects had already carried out activities on Dongzhou. Although Dongzhou's overall strength was not as good as Nanzhou, Dongzhou also had its own advantages.
The first advantage of Dongzhou is that the super-large beast tide war has just been fought for about a hundred years. According to the past rules, there will be at least five to six hundred years before the monster clan will launch another large-scale attack, so Dongzhou
Zhou can mobilize more monks to participate in the war.
The tens of millions of monks in Southern Continent can only mobilize an army of 6 million, but in East Continent, there are at least tens of millions of people who can mobilize, and many of these tens of millions of people have survived the bloody battles between monsters and beasts, and are extremely elite.
The second advantage is the concentration of power in Dongzhou. Before the Haoyang Sect moved in, 70% of the people in Dongzhou were under the control of the five major colleges. The five major colleges have extremely deep connections with each other. It can be said that as long as the five major colleges are convinced,
You can gain the support of the entire Eastern Continent, and there is no need to waste time consolidating forces.
Based on the above factors, the Immortal Alliance has never given up on Dongzhou for hundreds of years. They are mainly lobbying the middle and upper-class monks in Dongzhou, especially the deans of the five colleges. They are all eighth realm monks, but Dongzhou
There has never been a Supreme Monk. They have no inheritance and it is extremely difficult for them to figure out how to follow the path of the eighth realm monk.
The deans of Dongzhou, Xuanhuang College, and the five major colleges arrived together. The Immortal Alliance integrated the power of the seven sects and began to integrate into the second-rate forces. At the same time, it also increased its lobbying against Dongzhou. The situation of Dongzhou's trying to get both sides started to become difficult.
So that they have to deal with it carefully to avoid encountering an irreversible situation.
"There are hundreds of millions of human monks distributed across the five continents. Central Continent is the strongest, East Continent is the farthest, North Continent is the coldest, West Continent is the most remote, and South Continent is the most scattered. Now the Immortal Alliance connects most of Central Continent, and the five continents quickly connect the South, West, and North Continents.
, only I, Dongzhou, can survive, but now that the Immortal Alliance and the Five Continents Alliance are closing in step by step, it’s time for us, Dongzhou, to make a decision.”
"Dean Lin, is it too early to place a bet at this time?"
"It's not too early. When the overall situation is really in balance, if I, Dongzhou, take sides again, it will be ineffective. Do you think the commitments of the two alliances will still count?"
"What Dean Lin said makes sense. If nothing else, there are tens of millions of monks in Central Continent alone, and the number of high-level monks exceeds that of the other four continents combined. Once one side gains the upper hand, our addition will be insignificant and insignificant.
How to get benefits?”
"I don't ask for much profit, I just hope to preserve Dongzhou."
"Dean Hou, can we stay out of this war that is sweeping across the entire world of immortality? It's better to make a decision early."
"Then who do you think we should invest in? The prices of the Five Continents Alliance and the Immortal Alliance are similar."
Hou Zhen shook his head. He also knew that his expectations were extravagant. No one could really let them stay out of the matter. If they wanted to fight, let's fight together. They also couldn't give Dongzhou a chance to become powerful.
"The prices of the two alliances are similar, but I prefer to join the Fairy Alliance."
"Why, is it because of Haoyang Sect?"
"That's right, it's the Haoyang Sect."
Lin Yaohui replied, in the past hundred years, Yi Meier has obtained 120 billion resources from selling the secret realm, and now has paid hundreds of billions. Such huge resources have been funneled into the Haoyang Sect, and the Haoyang Sect has developed too much.
It was quick.
Nowadays, the Haoyang Sect's cultivation has exceeded 500,000 people, and it has supported many Zifu Daogang monks. If they are given time to develop, it will not be a problem to surpass the five major colleges.
Therefore, the five major colleges have begun to restrict the development of the Haoyang Sect a long time ago, especially not allowing them to expand their territory. In the past 20 to 30 years, the conflicts between the Haoyang Sect and the five major colleges have become deeper and deeper.
If the five major colleges join the Five Continents Alliance, there will be no reason to restrict the Haoyang Sect. If the Haoyang Sect is allowed to expand, then Dongzhou will really have the sixth largest force. This is not in the interests of the five major colleges.
"Having said that, once we join the Immortal Alliance, the Haoyang Sect will become our enemy. Although the Haoyang Sect is the remnant of Emperor Hao, but who of you can guarantee that they have no foundation to defeat us? Don't forget the Central Continent.
During the war, many eighth-level monks from the seven sects died."
"This is also a consideration. Nanzhou Lin Xiao has broken through to the eighth level. He and Yi Meier are ambiguous, and the Wuyou Sect on the Haoyang Sect's territory is most likely Lin Xiao's force. We really
If we fight, the chances of winning are not high.”
The dean of Zhurong College replied that if Dongzhou monks start a war with monsters, they can mobilize all their forces, but if they start a war with monks, that is not necessarily the case. Many people are unwilling to fight a civil war, and Yi Meier's side is also unwilling to fight.
It's not that simple, and not everyone can be bullied.
"Then what are we going to do? We must have a charter. The current situation no longer allows us to swing around."
"Can we negotiate with Penglai Kunlun and restrict the Haoyang Sect on the condition of joining the Five Continents Alliance?"
"I guess not. The Haoyang Sect is the mortal enemy of the Immortal Alliance, and the Yi family's background is unclear. In terms of bargaining chips, we may not be able to match them."
"Then it's better than this. We openly join the Five Continents Alliance and don't listen to the propaganda. Secretly, we join the Immortal Alliance to increase the benefits of the Immortal Alliance, especially the resources to break through the Supreme. We gather the resources into one person.
Help him break through. As long as we have the supreme monk, we in Dongzhou will not be so easy to bully."
"Is this possible?"
"How can it not work?"
“Then who will give the obtained resources?”
"Simple, draw lots. The person who is drawn must swear by his Taoist heart not to annex the other four colleges, and to do his best to help the other four colleges develop and grow. We can even draw lots and take turns to support him. Maybe the five of us will have a chance to break through to the supreme level.
"
"This is too risky"
"I also think it's too risky. The two alliances are not so easy to deceive."
"I think this plan is feasible. What we lack in Dongzhou is the Supreme Monk, the top combat power. With the Supreme Monk, our Dongzhou can be completely neutral. No one dares to force us easily. When the time comes, we
If they really don’t send troops, do they dare to force us? If anyone forces us, we will turn to the other side.”
"this····"
"Let's vote by a show of hands"
"good"
Soon, the five people voted with a show of hands, and the result turned out to be 5 to 2. This was an act of betting on the fate of the entire Central Continent, but they didn't think it was inappropriate. Anyway, the two families had to choose one, and it didn't matter if they chose the Immortal Alliance or the Five Continent Alliance.
The difference is that the Immortal Alliance has reasons to restrict the development of Haoyang Sect.
Afterwards, the five people conducted a fair draw, and Xuanhuang College was ranked first, while Bailu College was ranked second. The benefits obtained from the two alliances will fully support Lin Yaohui of Xuanhuang College to break through to the Supreme.
Lin Xiao also swore with his Taoist heart that the five colleges would always be one, Xuanhuang College would never become the enemy of the other four colleges, and many other conditions.
After the five people discussed, Lin Yaohui went to see the envoy of the Immortal Alliance, and Hou Zhen was the envoy of the Five Continents Alliance. Hou Zhen would join the Five Continents Alliance on behalf of Dongzhou and defraud the benefits, and Lin Yaohui would also tell this matter.
The messengers from the Immortal Alliance asked them to increase their support and so on.
Half a month later, Dongzhou announced that it would join the Five Continents Alliance. The morale of the Five Continents Alliance was immediately boosted. If 30 million monks from Dongzhou join, then the number of monks commanded by the Five Continents Alliance has exceeded 100 million, which is enough to cause damage to the Immortal Alliance.
A crushing strength.
The Immortal League has no reaction to this, they are still doing their own thing, as if this matter does not exist, so what if the Five Continents Alliance surpasses them, their power is all connected together, they can advance and attack, retreat and defend.
Not afraid at all.
The Haoyang Sect, on the other hand, happily sent an envoy to Kunlun, asking Kunlun to follow the orders of the Five Continents Alliance to allow the five major colleges to make way for a gap to give the Haoyang Sect an opportunity to expand its territory. Now the Haoyang Sect's territory is
There really isn't enough for them to use. The various spiritual mountains don't even have enough profound energy.
The Haoyang Sect is definitely the mortal enemy of the Immortal Alliance. The Five Continents Alliance naturally wants to support the Haoyang Sect and make the Haoyang Sect the vanguard of the attack. Therefore, the Five Continents Alliance immediately sent envoys to contact the five major colleges, and the five major colleges agreed.
But they also had many reasons to shirk.
For example, Dongzhou does not belong to the five major colleges, but is composed of dozens or hundreds of colleges in Dongzhou. Although these colleges are vassals of the five major colleges, their interests must also be guaranteed, and it is okay to make room for Haoyang Sect.
, but who makes the concession, how to make the concession, and how to make up for the benefits of the surrendered power all need to be discussed. As for how to negotiate and how long it will take, I'm sorry, no one can guarantee it. Let's discuss it first.
The five colleges gave enough reasons, and the Kunlun envoy could not force it, so he had to tell the Haoyang Sect and ask them to endure for a few more years.
But Yi Meier is not stupid. She has known the thoughts of the five major colleges for a long time. The five major colleges do not want another force to be equal to them in Dongzhou. This is also related to the foundation of Haoyang Sect in Dongzhou. After all, they
It has only been here for more than a hundred years, so it is impossible to compare with the five major colleges that have been rooted for tens of thousands of years.
Yi Meier didn't want to sit back and wait for death, and began to plot secretly. After years of development, the Yi family's secret guards have become extremely powerful, especially in the past hundred years. Yi Meier has the financial resources to sell the secret realm, and vigorously develops the secret guards.
Already extremely active in Dongzhou.
While Yi Meier let the secret guards infiltrate the middle and upper classes of the five major colleges to obtain their true intentions, she began to plan for expansion. The main families of the five major colleges were all to the north of the Haoyang Sect, and those to the south were all vassals of the five major colleges. In terms of strength,
It is impossible to compare with Haoyang Sect. If they expand by force, they will not be able to stop it.
Of course, Yi Meier also lacks an excuse to use force. It is one thing to destroy the Five Continents Alliance, but it is also another thing to directly challenge the five major colleges.
Therefore, Yi Meier's expansion requires a clever word. After a year of planning, Yi Meier finally decided on a strategy. Her strategy is very simple. She still uses the same tactics she used at Shuiyuan Gate to win people's hearts.
Nowadays, the Haoyang Sect has no shortage of money, and the Haoyang Sect's treasure house is full of various resources, which can buy a large number of people, and she herself is also a sharp weapon.
