Chapter 1500 Running Water Does Not Corrupt
What happened to the Flood Demon King actually represented the end of the monster clan today. As the saying goes, man is a knife and I am a fish, so it is.
The Heavenly Court has long had the idea of completely destroying the foundation of the Yaozu and bringing it under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. It's just that there are all kinds of shackles on the heavenly court, and the indecisive and selfish Lord Jade Emperor sits in that position. This allowed the idea to be shelved infinitely. But now that Zhouyi is in power, he will naturally sweep away the obstacles in the past and directly facilitate this matter.
She is not the kind of Jade Emperor, who has power in his hands and at the same time coerces the heavens. What he wants to do is not something he thinks of and does directly. Anyway, it is impossible for someone to stop him, so naturally, everything has been pushed smoothly by him to the current point.
The demon clan is gone. Watching the gods of the four directions line up their soldiers and horses, and go down to capture the big demon Kunpeng, and watch those demon kings who have done a lot of evil in the past be bound one by one by the golden armor god with chains. Whether it is a god or a monster, they all have such emotions in their hearts. It can be said that Zhou Yi's purpose of killing chickens and monkeys has actually been achieved here.
In any case, the power of the Yaozu is undeniable. Apart from the Battle of the Conferred Gods back then, even with the power of the Heavenly Court, they could only use soft knives to cut the flesh of the monster clan one by one, in order to wear down the strength of the monster clan. Like today, the entire Yaozu's spine was broken in one fell swoop, making it impossible for them to get up again in their entire lives. Many gods probably never even thought about it.
It's not that I really haven't thought about it, but that this approach is too impractical and unlikely to be realized at all.
After all, the Heavenly Court is a place where forces are intertwined and intertwined. If it is said that they can be twisted into a rope to deal with the Yaozu like in the Conferred God War back then, this will naturally not be a big problem. However, precisely because the three forces in the heavenly court are stalemate and each has their own scruples, this is impossible.
No one wants to lose their own strength because of dealing with the monsters, and no one wants to see others expand their own existence because they have taken in enough monsters. Such a stalemate interrupted the good situation during the Conferred Gods War, which should be done at once, so that it would be difficult for them to have such a good opportunity in the future.
In this regard, Zhou Yi's actions really relieved the regrets in many people's hearts. But at the same time, it is inevitable that his methods will make people feel chills. After all, such a big monster clan said they would dismantle it for him, so who can be sure that when the Heavenly Emperor turned his guns on them, they would be able to withstand such a sharp edge of the Heavenly Emperor?
People are panicking, that's for sure. And this is exactly what Zhou Yi wanted. He is not afraid that these gods fear him, and even target him behind the scenes. Because he has absolute confidence and strength to deal with any of their means. Therefore, even with this method of intimidation, as long as they can honestly respect him on the surface, he will not hesitate.
It's just a group of goods that will eventually be eliminated.
There is really no need to waste too much time on them. Instead of spending a lot of effort to buy their hearts, it's better to put it aside for the time being, and wait until the power in your hands develops, and replace them directly.
With such a thought in mind, Zhou Yi naturally tried his best to deal with those guys who had ulterior motives and were destined to be eliminated. It was originally a banquet to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys. The chickens were killed and the monkeys were scared. Then he, the master, naturally doesn't need to do anything else. So eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink. A scene of singing and dancing, seems to sweep away the chill atmosphere in the Sun Palace.
And looking at his attitude, the four emperors and Lao Tzu who had been greeted in advance all looked like old gods. He didn't seem to worry at all that his attitude would have any effect on them.
Of course, there are reasons for this. Among other things, existences like the Three Emperors and Houtu would never worry about this issue. Because their interests are tied to the entire human race. As long as the human race is still the protagonist of the world, as long as they are still the ancestors of the three emperors enshrined by the human race, then no matter how they change, it is impossible to touch their interests.
And so is Lao Tzu. On the surface, Zhou Yi's attitude will eventually lead to the reduction of Taoist forces. But from a long-term perspective, isn't this an opportunity for the Daoist sect to reorganize?
As the saying goes, running water does not rot, household pivots do not worm, although these people are representatives of the Taoist sect, they cannot represent the entire Taoist sect. In the situation where the human race's cultivation path is controlled by the Taoist sect, unless Zhou Yi has the ability to find other sources of talent, no matter how it changes, it will be them, the Taoist elites, who will eventually be able to reach the position of the heavenly court. That being the case, the ones who lost left and right were only some vested interests in the Taoist sect, so what did he need to worry about?
Everyone is very open-minded. In other words, people with their status and status are fundamentally different from those ordinary people. Instead of focusing on the gains and losses of one corner, but focusing on the overall situation, what you see is naturally another scene. And this is exactly what many people can't do.
For example, people like Zhang Daoling, it is impossible for them to be so free and easy.
It's not that they can't see some things, but there's nothing they can do about them. If you are not in that position, there is no way to think about it from that position. After all, a corner in the eyes of others is everything to them, so of course, they can only care about the gains and losses in front of them.
And the more you care about it, the more uncomfortable you will feel. So even if they ate dragon liver and phoenix marrow at this palace banquet, they drank jade liquid fine wine. It is also food that does not know the taste and cannot be swallowed. In such an atmosphere, the more you sit, the more tormented you will be. So after seeing Zhou Yi leaving first, many people couldn't bear it any longer, they didn't even care about the etiquette, and they just withdrew from the banquet.
Of course, this trip was not to vent my grievances in some remote corner. That's what kids do. People like them, who had a bit of status and energy, basically tacitly gathered in the cave of an important member.
Just like in many stories, if you want to sing against an emperor, you will definitely have to be selfish in the dark. It's just that, unlike ordinary treasonous acts, even if these people gather together, they are helpless, and they can't come up with any effective plan.
The power of the Heavenly Emperor is fundamentally above everything else. To put it bluntly, even if they unite all the power of the Heavenly Court to their side, it is impossible to overthrow the Heavenly Emperor. He even said that if he was offended, it was very likely that his group would be sent to Zhanxiantai for a walk. After all, what the Emperor of Heaven cares about is only the situation, not the strength of these people. If he is determined, there are some things he can't do.
Realizing this clearly, these gods who were plotting secretly sighed one by one. It seems that the only option before them is to accept their fate. And if they accepted their fate, how could they come here?
"Master Zhang, you are the initiator, don't you have anything to say at this time?"
It was the three Nezha brothers who were speaking, and they were here for a reason.
The three Nezha brothers are all gods with gods in the heaven. Although it is not as prominent as their father's god, it is definitely not low. So of course such a party cannot do without them. For Jin Zha and Mu Zha, this is revenge for killing their father and teacher, and they must be avenged. For Nezha, this is also his only means of revenge.
As for what revenge Nezha avenged, it's hard to say. If you say it's revenge for killing your father. There is no love between King Tota and him. Rather than saying that they are father and son, it is better to say that they are two people who seem to be at odds with each other and are intriguing. To avenge him, such a thing is said, I am afraid that Nezha himself will not believe it.
And if it is to avenge Taiyi Tianzun, the reason is not too good. You must know that the master-student relationship between Taiyi Tianzun and him is actually very little. It is far less realistic than the relationship between his brother Jin Zha and Manjusri Bodhisattva. This is to say that Jin Zha is reliable in order to avenge his teacher. If it is said that Nezha is also for this, not many people really believe it.
In fact, in the final analysis, I am afraid that even Nezha himself does not know why he is here. Maybe it's echoing what others say, subconsciously following his brother. Perhaps it was to repay the kindness of Taiyi Tianzun for saving his life. Anyway, he's here, and he doesn't intend to leave.
It can be said that they are determined to fight against the Emperor of Heaven, so naturally, they will press Zhang Daoling to ask such words at this time.
Zhang Daoling is the backbone of their group, and the only one among them who can coordinate the overall situation. They are still convinced of such a guy who can grow the Taoist sect to its current level. It's just that I can't come up with a charter for a long time. Even if I am convinced, I will lose some confidence. This questioning is not so much impatient as it is a reassurance. Just give yourself some confidence.
Seeing the attitude of the three Nezha brothers, Zhang Daoling, who had never shown his face, couldn't help but frown. In all fairness, he didn't want these three people to get involved. Because their purpose is obvious, that is to take revenge. And once this kind of thing is involved, no matter what your identity is, it's not easy to use.
He fought so hard that he dared to pull the emperor off his horse. This kind of thing can be done in the mortal world, but in their case, at most, it will end up with a broken body. He wanted to fight against the Emperor of Heaven, but he didn't want to do it. Why is there such a real fight to the death when things that can be resolved peacefully through tactics?
Therefore, when the three brothers said this, he had already made up his mind.
That is, he wants to treat these three people as abandoned sons and make good use of them.
