Chapter 192 The Star-Eating Beast Arrives, the Sect’s Great Trend Becomes
"I have to thank my husband for his guidance and support. If there were no resources provided by the alliance, it would be difficult for Yaoji to enter this realm in a short time."
Obviously, after experiencing the catastrophe of life and death, Luo Yaoji's personality has changed drastically. The original personality has been completely abandoned, and she has become more watertight.
"Well!"
Zheng Yi nodded slightly, not taking the concubine's little thoughts to heart.
After all, Luo Yaoji is just one of his concubines, and the two sides are more like a transaction.
The other party needs to cling to his towering tree, and he also covets the other party's innate peach god fetus and beautiful age. Since Zheng Yi has both of them, he has a high tolerance for his subordinates and concubines.
As long as the other party does not betray him and acts within the framework of Zheng Yi's code of conduct, everything is allowed. Zheng Yi, as a superior, does not care at all.
However, he also saw that as Luo Yaoji's realm climbed to the foundation-building stage, her strength increased greatly. After her strength and realm surpassed Xin Lingxian, her voice in the Daluo Alliance gradually increased.
Some people saw that there was a lot of treasure, and they obviously began to gather under the command of Luo Yaoji, who was alone, to form another force.
After all, in the past, lacking the help of subordinate forces, as two concubines under Zheng Yi's name, Luo Yaoji was weak and could not compete with Xin Lingxian, who had the support of the Xin family and was on good terms with the chief supervisor Qi Lin, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
But now everything is different. Luo Yaoji's innate Yimu physique makes her practice faster and her future is more promising. Once she steps into the foundation-building stage, it will be another world. Some people will worship her and become her team and power base in the entire alliance.
Obviously, Zheng Yi's attitude of not caring about things determines the basis of checks and balances of power under his command.
The gentleman's agreement between Zheng Yi and the two concubines was just a verbal agreement. Outsiders had their own judgments on the importance of these two pillow talkers, and some people had already chosen sides.
But Zheng Yi didn't care about this.
After all, monks are also human beings with seven emotions and six desires. Any choice they make is their own decision, as long as no one threatens the unity of the Daluo Alliance and Zheng Yi's ultimate control.
Moreover, sometimes the checks and balances between the major forces are also part of Zheng Yi's balancing technique. It is not necessarily a bad thing for him to do it deliberately.
No matter how the country changes, the blood monk can only be loyal to one person, that is, the Styx Taoist, that is, Zheng Yi himself. As for the others, they just sit back and watch the wind and clouds rise, and everything is a joke.
At least for Zheng Yi, this is more conducive to his control of everything.
"Okay! I know!"
After listening to Luo Yaoji's narration, Zheng Yi opened his eyes and said slowly.
"I will go down first."
Luo Yaoji was naturally better at observing people's expressions. She could see that Zheng Yi seemed to have something important to do, so she did not delay. After a brief greeting, she turned around and left.
Afterwards, in the Great Luo Alliance Hall, Zheng Yi sat on the throne, his whole body shrouded in darkness.
Under his gaze, the fat on the face of the chief supervisor Qi Lin trembled, and he walked out of the back hall cautiously.
Under Zheng Yi's majestic gaze, even Qi Lin, his closest subordinate, felt a little numb.
There was no sound, and the dead silence of the hall was imprisoned there, as if an invisible barrier completely enveloped Qi Lin. The heavy feeling of almost being unable to breathe made his legs tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
This was Zheng Yi's warning to Qi Lin.
With Zheng Yi away for a long time, Qi Lin was almost the only one to preside over the major events of the Great Luo Alliance.
Although Qi Lin has always been extremely loyal, as the Daluo Alliance becomes bigger and bigger, he is in a high position, second only to one person and above ten thousand people, and it is inevitable that he will have some emotional fluctuations or thoughts that cannot be told to outsiders.
As an old man who has accompanied Zheng Yi since the Qi training period, he has high expectations for Qi Lin. He wants to train him to become a city lord who can sit in one place, so he naturally does not want him to turn over some small things.
The seemingly invisible pressure is Zheng Yi's punishment, but in fact it is also a warning, and even more a kind of care.
Let him understand what is rootless water and what is a source without roots.
Everything you have depends on me. I can give you everything you want, or I can knock you down from the clouds and leave you with nothing.
A look or a word from the superior is like the collapse of the sky and the collapse of the earth for the inferior.
This is cruel and domineering.
But it is determined by the entire system formed over countless years since the establishment of human society. As long as you are in it and become a part of the overall trend, it is an irrefutable truth, like a shadow following you.
"If I am not around in the future, you can communicate more with the two ladies about what happened in the Daluo Alliance. Of course, everything will be based on your opinions!"
Just one sentence made Qi Lin understand, and then he knelt down and said that if there is anything in the future, he must communicate more with the two ladies.
When Qi Lin finished speaking, the depression in the hall seemed to be blown away by a breeze and dissipated directly.
The oppressive feeling on his body dissipated, and Qi Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing behind him, and he was soaked.
"Tell me, what happened?!"
At this time, Zheng Yi asked what happened.
"Sir, the whole thing started when the Qin family was suddenly wiped out by a group of mysterious people..."
Qi Lin quickly put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, sorted out his thoughts and sentences, and then spoke slowly.
Following Qi Lin's words and combined with what Xin Lingxian and Luo Yaoji said before, Zheng Yi gradually understood the general outline of the whole matter.
In the final analysis, the severe situation faced by the Daluo Alliance was actually related to himself, or it could be said that it was the sequelae of the destruction of the ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Fang.
The fact that the murderer of Qin Fang, the ancestor of the Qin family, cannot be found out means that the Taibai Divine Gold has been completely stolen, which the original Jinque Sect cannot accept in any case.
Therefore, the majestic Zifu sect ended up personally, and even went so far as to grab and bite, which can be regarded as jumping over the wall in a hurry, and wiped out all the forces related to the Qin family.
The Daluo Alliance, which was already entangled with the Qin family over the mine, was naturally the most serious target of suspicion and could not stay out of the matter.
Before, Jiuyin Temple temporarily blocked it, but now there is no news about Taibai Shenjin. The suspect who killed Qin Fang, the ancestor of the Qin family, seemed to suddenly pop out of the cracks in the rocks and disappeared without a trace. In addition, Zheng Yi himself had not been seen for a long time, which aggravated the suspicion of the top leaders of Jinque Sect.
Now, the Jinque Sect has made up its mind to take action against the Da Luo Alliance personally.
Originally, half a year ago, his behavior was not so bad.
The Qin family was destroyed, and the ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Fang, was killed. It was rumored that the monks from the Zifu of the Jinque Sect had arrived at that time, but they could not stop the killing, and the murderer was eventually lost. For this, the Jinque Sect was furious.
Quickly dispatch monks from the sect to explore the situation, and try to contact Jiuyin Temple, hoping to reach an agreement and both parties give up first.
But Jiuyin Palace doesn't think so. No matter who is the murderer, as long as he is an enemy of Jinque Sect, it is a vested interest for Jiuyin Palace.
Moreover, the people who destroyed the Qin family were a large group of forces. Although they didn’t know the depth, they were able to kill the Qin family with the Zifu monks in one move. It was like a slap in the face to the Jinque Sect. At this level, Power, even Jiuyin Palace does not want to offend easily, let alone cooperate with Jinque Sect to provoke him.
Therefore, Jiuyin Temple's attitude was very clear. Instead of allowing the Jinque Sect's exploration, it obstructed every step of the way, making the Jinque Sect's investigation progress very slowly.
For a time, the Qin family was destroyed, and the conflict between Jinque Sect and Jiuyin Palace intensified. It suddenly became the focus of tens of thousands of miles around, and countless forces and sects cast their sights on this area.
The Daluo Alliance became less noticeable this time, so Qilin seized this opportunity and began to occupy a large amount of the sphere of influence that originally belonged to the Qin family, gradually annexing and swallowing it up.
Taking advantage of the intensified fighting between the two Zifu sects and the inability to focus on the Daluo Alliance, the entire alliance's machinery was launched and annexed nearly half of the Qin family's original sphere of influence in one fell swoop, further strengthening its foundation and strength. .
Attracting more casual cultivators to join the Daluo Alliance.
It can be said that the Daluo Alliance has become the biggest beneficiary of the destruction of the Qin family, and its development is booming and orderly.
It's a pity that God has unpredictable circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes!
Just when Qi Lin was planning how to take over the entire Qin family's sphere of influence, suddenly, the Jinque Sect directly attacked the Daluo Alliance, and suddenly attracted the two major Zifu forces, the Star Swallowing Demon City and the Barbarian Beast Sect. , put pressure on Jiuyin Palace together.
"The Star-Swallowing Demon City? The original Supreme Sect of the Soul Capturing Sect? There is a reason why they interfered..."
"As for the Barbarian Beast Sect, it is the sect of the Hundred Beasts Sect. Master Leihuo within its sect is the main culprit that led to the collapse of the original Soul Capturing Sect's top management. The two had conflicts before about the spiritual mines, but now they are. Stir together..."
Hearing these two familiar yet unfamiliar sects again, Zheng Yi, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the two Zifu sects had fought over the spiritual mines that appeared in their territory, but in the blink of an eye, they had reached a reconciliation.
"Hahaha, there really are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests..."
There was a sneer in Zheng Yi's eyes.
Things are constantly changing, and this is still the case in the mortal world, let alone the world of cultivating immortals. In the Immortal Domain of Dayi, this situation will only intensify. The interests of these powerful sects are intertwined, and there are never true friends, only real benefits.
"It seems that it will cost a lot of money for the Jinque Sect to unite the Star Swallowing Demon City and the Savage Beast Sect to put pressure on the Jiuyin Palace."
Zheng Yi secretly speculated in his heart.
Although the Jin Que Sect has taken up the banner of revenge for the Qin family, it sounds so funny. Which sect would avenge a subordinate cultivating family that had been destroyed and had no use value? Unless there is a huge benefit.
In the Dayi Immortal Territory, there are countless forces like those in the foundation-building period.
These forces will generally seek refuge with the more powerful Zifu sect, thereby gaining the protection of the more powerful forces. By handing in the 'registration money', they can occupy a place in the world of immortality and have the opportunity to survive and develop.
This is somewhat similar to the Law of the Dark Jungle.
Therefore, these subordinate sects are like watchdogs to the Shangzong. When necessary, they can be pulled out to bark at the enemy. In dangerous situations, they can be released directly to detect the situation.
It can be said that for the superior sect, the subordinate sect is dead and can be replaced by another one.
For example, in the previous Soul Capture Sect, the sect's senior officials and the sect leader were directly shot to death by Master Lei Huo. The sect's headquarters were all attacked by the Hundred Beast Sect. The Star Swallowing Demon City openly started a conflict with the Barbarian Beast Sect.
Its true intention can be seen by all discerning people, and that is because they see the huge benefits of the spirit stone veins.
After that, the two sects even started arguing, and even a point-to-point battle broke out. Now that the interests have been divided, there is no sight of the Star Devouring Demon City sending strong men to help the Soul-Capturing Sect re-establish the mountain gate.
On the contrary, the Da Luo Alliance went out independently and touched the fundamental interests of the Star Devouring Demon City.
Also, in Bao Xuzi's words, 'As long as the safety of Taibai Divine Gold is ensured, it doesn't matter whether the Qin family dies or not.'
This is the attitude of the Shangzong towards the subordinate sects, so the Jinque Sect's banner of revenge against the Qin family feels indescribably absurd.
"It seems that the so-called Sun and Moon Swords are too important to the Jinque Sect. They even gave up their face for Taibai Shenjin!"
Zheng Yi sneered in his heart and saw through Jinque Sect's plan.
In fact, Baoxuzi, as the supreme elder of the Jinque Sect, hunted Zheng Yi for three months in a rage. Zheng Yi knew how important this Taibai Divine Gold was to the Jinque Sect.
And now, he has adopted an attitude of avenging the Qin family, personally going out to deal with all possible forces, especially deliberately targeting the Daluo Alliance. In order to bypass the Jiuyin Palace, he directly dragged Tunxing Demon City and the Barbarian Beast Sect into the water, which is even more obvious. It shows how urgent the demand for Taibai Divine Gold is.
At the beginning, during the raid on the Qin family, Zheng Yi had always maintained a mystery and his identity had not been revealed from the beginning to the end. Therefore, it was impossible for Bao Xuzi and the others to know which group of people destroyed the Qin family?
It is even impossible to know who took away the 'Taibai Divine Gold'. What they are doing now is to find any possible murderer, kill them directly, and then look for the 'Taibai Divine Gold'.
In the absence of accurate information, we directly searched all possibilities until we got the Taibai Divine Gold back.
It must be said that Jinque Sect's seemingly troublesome method is actually an extremely effective method.
Just follow the list of suspects and search them one by one, and there will always be clues about the real murderer.
As a top refining sect, the Jinque Sect knows much more about the 'Taibai Divine Gold' than outsiders. Under normal circumstances, this top metal material cannot be refined by ordinary methods at all, so in the view of the Jinque Sect's senior officials, this Even if the Taibai Divine Gold is taken away, it cannot really be used in a short period of time.
As long as the ‘Taibai Divine Gold’ exists, the Jinque Sect has a chance to get it back.
And in the middle, countless small forces are involved, muddying the water, and obtaining a large amount of resources, which can be regarded as a bit of a bad breath.
Such a conspiracy left Zheng Yi helpless.
