Cheng Lie smiled and said calmly: "What this old man said makes some sense. If you think that following me will only lead to death, it's still too late to defect now, lest you don't even have a chance to beg for mercy after they take action!
"
Hearing this, many people almost fell to the ground.
You are the leader of the expedition team!
People are inciting your subordinates to rebel. If you don't quickly try your best to refute them to stabilize the morale of the army, you are actually adding fuel to the fire?
Aren't you afraid that the military will lose morale and be isolated?
Sure enough, as his voice fell, some people were really moved. While staring at Cheng Lie warily, they retreated far away towards Liuguang Pavilion.
With the first one, there is the second one, the third one...
But within a moment, at least thirty people chose to stand on the side of Liuguang Pavilion.
Qiu Mu is even more proud!
He originally thought that what he had said just now would be just a waste of words and he would have to use force to scare him in the end.
Unexpectedly, more than thirty people betrayed Cheng Lie after just a few words to sow discord.
This result far exceeded his expectations and filled him with a sense of accomplishment.
However, instead of being panicked or disappointed, Cheng Lie continued: "Is there anyone else who wants to choose a side? The opportunity is right in front of you. It would be a pity to miss it!"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless again.
Even Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.
This Cheng Lie is really straightforward and straightforward in his work!
However, he did not object.
After all, a person with a rebellious heart will always become a hidden danger even if he can keep it temporarily.
Once something urgent happens, these people will not only be unable to help, but may stab their own people in the back for the sake of profit and survival.
Therefore, instead of letting such a group of weak-minded people stay around, it is better to let the other party take the initiative to reveal themselves early, which will at least make it easier to guard against them.
"Commander Cheng, I'm sorry!"
"We don't want this either, but I still have a wife at home, and I don't want to die yet!"
Some of the people who retreated to Liuguang Pavilion cast apologetic looks at Cheng Lie.
But some people sneered.
Just like what Qiu Mu said just now, if there is a chance to be the leader, who would be willing to succumb to others?
As long as Liuguang Pavilion kills Cheng Lie, it means they have to choose another leader.
When the time comes, their opportunity will come!
"Is there anyone else?"
Cheng Lie continued to look at the remaining people.
Until now, half of the people have chosen to side with Liuguang Pavilion.
"Commander Cheng, we are willing to follow you to the death!"
"Me too!"
"Since we are willing to follow you on your expedition to Haoshan, we have naturally given our lives to you!"
Instead of standing up again, the remaining people swore an oath of allegiance.
Some of them glared at those who walked out.
"You bunch of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Before we set off, we swore allegiance to Commander Cheng. Have you forgotten your oath now?"
"I am ashamed to associate with such people who have no bottom line!"
Hearing these words, the person who had just chosen to stand on the side of Liuguang Pavilion felt as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot, and immediately retorted fiercely and inwardly.
"It's you who are stupid and ignorant of current affairs!"
"Following Cheng Lie, there is only one way to die. We just chose a wiser path!"
"You are stubborn and insist on following Cheng Lie to death. We have no control over it, but please don't use your stubborn theories to attack us. You are not qualified!"
"When your lives hang on a thread, you will know how ridiculous the so-called bottom line is!"
They were originally both members of the expedition team, but now because they chose different camps, they immediately became enemies of each other, and the atmosphere became tense.
Qiu Mu was not in a hurry to take action. He glanced at the remaining people around Cheng Lie and continued to persuade: "If I guessed correctly, your cultivation should be at the holy level, right?"
"Old man, what on earth do you want to say?" one of the expedition team members scolded.
"I just want to tell you some great news!"
Qiu Mu smiled mysteriously and said: "Not long ago, I, Liuguang Pavilion, found a kind of fire from heaven and earth, called Ghost Green Fire!"
"Oh? The fire of heaven and earth spiritual fire?"
Others didn't have much impression, but Ye Chen, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but ask.
Because, he has been looking for the spark of spiritual fire.
Only by fusing a kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire can relatively advanced elixirs be refined.
Especially the Emperor-Establishing Pill, which he needs most at the moment, the prerequisite for refining it is at least one kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire.
"That's right, it's the ghostly green fire that ranks twelfth on the list of spiritual fires!"
Qiu Mu seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Chen's reaction, and continued to say enthusiastically: "After I, Liuguang Pavilion, found out, I immediately notified the headquarters of the Southern Region Alchemist Guild!"
"Not long ago, Master Lu Jinghuan, the vice president of the Alchemist Headquarters, has arrived in person. With the help of my Liuguang Pavilion, he is preparing to fuse this kind of spiritual fire!"
"Vice president of the Southern Region Alchemist Headquarters?" Ye Chen's expression became a little unnatural.
Although he has never met the vice-president of the Southern Region Alchemist Headquarters, he has heard of his name, and he has something of him.
A cauldron for refining medicine, the Prajna Cauldron!
After leaving Dongfang's home, when he passed through Pingqiu City, he originally wanted to ask the alchemist branch there if there was any kind of fire from heaven and earth.
As a result, Zuo Li, the president of the alchemist branch, not only refused to meet him, but instead treated him with contempt and made things difficult for him.
Later, robbers came into the city and robbed him. He stood by and watched. President Zuo Li was pushed to the ground by the robbers and rubbed hard. He had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Later, when the bandits provoked him, they were maimed by him and finally escaped with their tails between their legs.
After fighting off the robbers, he directly snatched the space bracelet of Guild President Zuo Li, and found a rare medicinal material needed to refine the Emperor Pill, plus a bottle of extremely high-quality medicine cauldron.
According to Zuo Li, the medicinal cauldron named Prajna Cauldron belongs to Lu Jinghuan, the vice president of the Southern Region Alchemist Guild!
I originally thought that after I took it away by force, I might never interact with these people again.
I never thought that I would hear it again from the mouth of Qiu Mu, the fourth elder of Liuguang Pavilion.
"Yes, he is the vice president of the Southern Region Alchemist Guild!"
Qiu Mu nodded and said proudly: "Not only did we give him the fire of Ghost Green Fire, we also used our Liuguang Pavilion's most precious glazed tower to help him integrate the fire. As long as Vice President Lu succeeds, he will definitely be grateful to our Liuguang Pavilion."
!”
"And with Vice President Lu's superb alchemy skills, if our Liuguang Pavilion needs any elixirs, I think Vice President Lu will definitely not refuse!"
Having said this, he once again glanced at the young warriors beside Cheng Lie and continued: "As long as you join hands with me, Liuguang Pavilion, to capture Cheng Lie, I promise afterwards that I, Liuguang Pavilion, can hire Lu Jinghuan for whatever elixir you want."
