Chapter 1021 The First Heavenly Evolution Realm
Everyone was silent.
Because they didn't understand Xiaoyaozi's deeper intentions, the situations in the two videos were obvious. They couldn't just pin the blame on Daoyu for this rat tide outbreak, and the crisis had been temporarily resolved.
Although many people will die next, as long as we control the rhythm of the battle and make full use of the black hole formation, it will only be a matter of time to eliminate the rat swarm.
The threat from the Ghost Market is not without a way out. Just by pointing out the crazy characteristics of the players and talking about them, it should be enough to shut everyone up.
So, what else is there to think about?
When Xiaoyaozi saw this scene, he guessed what everyone was thinking. He did not feel disappointed at all, because from the beginning to the end, he had a very low psychological expectation of these elders in front of him who had come to the top based on their seniority.
To put it more directly, in the entire Dao Palace, there are only a few people who are regarded as fellow seekers of the Dao, and the others are just tools to maintain the operation of this huge force of the Dao Realm.
For this reason, he does not care about the struggle between the pro-war faction and the pro-poor faction, and just watches their private power struggles for fun.
Especially after having in-depth contact with the Jiutian Dao Palace, he became more aware that his future must not be locked in this small land of Jiuzhou.
Then he coughed lightly and said:
"You guys are still standing too high."
This statement attracted the attention of everyone present, and of course they also secretly criticized it.
They also saw Xiaoyaozi's position and attitude very clearly, because Xiaoyaozi had no intention of hiding anything from the beginning to the end, so the two major factions dared to put everything on the table.
In their opinion, the most arrogant and the one standing the highest is the one who is now smiling and saying that their position is too high.
If Ling Donglai had not been present, several elders would have snorted coldly.
Then the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly quiet. Everyone had their own thoughts, and no elder stood up to respond to Xiaoyaozi's words. Of course, they didn't know what the other party's sudden words meant.
Until Zhang Sanfeng spoke.
"Brother, you mean different perspectives."
Xiaoyaozi gave him an admiring look and motioned for Zhang Sanfeng to continue.
Zhang Sanfeng sighed helplessly:
"From your perspective, the second video just now was nothing more than another full-scale outbreak of the rat tide, and the Ghost City and its reinforcements were in a desperate situation. However, due to the appearance of the black hole formation, they were able to successfully break free.
But apart from the information given by the screen, what is your first impression after watching this video? "
"First impression?"
At this moment, the elders present fell into deep thought.
After all, things have come to this point, and they also understood Xiaoyaozi's implicit meaning, which is to look at the video from the perspective of an ordinary citizen, in which the appearance of the black hole formation does occupy a certain focus.
But the most impressive part is probably the 360-degree camera angle, with rats surrounding it from all directions.
This scene not only includes the rat swarm in the distance that is about to submerge the fourth line of defense like a black sea of death, but also the warriors with despair in their eyes and the players who are unwilling to give up but can only stand there and wait to die.
This is also the perspective that is easiest for people watching the video to empathize with.
The pessimism, the powerlessness, the despair of being unable to do anything except watching death, are what are truly imprinted deep in the minds of countless people.
Even though the appearance of the black hole formation later dispersed the rats, none of the players and warrior coalition forces guarding the fourth line of defense launched a pursuit.
After truly facing that irresistible and invincible force, everyone was frightened.
Perhaps some players can still maintain a good attitude, but before the fierceness has completely dissipated, they are also affected by a negative BUFF.
"But that black hole array"
Just as an elder was about to explain again the power of the formation that they had analyzed from the video, another person interrupted him.
"Don't even mention the formation. How can ordinary people understand this? Palace Master, did the Ghost Market give a corresponding analysis afterwards?"
"No, it just makes the world feel what fear is once again." Xiaoyaozi said in a deep voice.
"Afraid? What are you afraid of? You probably won't feel the same way after just watching a video."
"No, first of all, the people of Xuanyang Territory will definitely feel scared. Once the endless rat tide destroys the fourth line of defense and then breaks the fifth line of defense, they will all pour into Xuanyang Territory. With the destructive power shown by the rat tide before, how many towns can resist it?"
"Well, similarly, the people of Nanxuan Prefecture will also be worried. If this panic is not controlled, it will soon spread to the three southern states."
"Not only that, the reinforcements sent here also come from various regions. They also have family members and friends. After noticing the huge scale of the rat tide, they will also have some panic and negative emotions."
"It's normal for this emotion to emerge. Proper guidance can even bring together strong morale. But the key is that the Ghost Market doesn't seem to have this intention." This was said by Zhang Sanfeng.
He also held a tablet in his hand, which was playing live news. As he skillfully switched to projection mode, the elders in the conference hall also saw the news content.
It is a list of the deceased who have fought against the rat tide.
Even though Xia Jinyu held on single-handedly in the early stages, and the subsequent shots from other players also played a key role, after the coalition of warriors gathered in the three southern states reached the fourth line of defense, and the battle near the border of Xuanyang Territory, real death tolls were still imprinted on that land.
"What do these mean?"
"Isn't it going to be a trick next?"
"If Guishi really does this, it would be like completely breaking off relations!"
"No, no, no, we can make some articles about the affiliation of those alien visitors. For example, the leader seems to have been supported by you useless people who only think about pleasure every day."
"You guys are such a waste, all you do is work hard all day long! In the end, the Xuanxia Territory you conquered has become a burden!"
"Knock you? If you say so, then you should just stay down and act like a wimp!"
The elders present were quick-witted. After Xiaoyaozi and Zhang Sanfeng gave clear hints, they understood that the purpose of the second video was to manipulate public opinion and create panic.
The next step is to allow people to find an outlet for venting.
Then, even if the first video is released, few people will listen to the truth that could have been made clear. Most people will only feel panic and fear about the coming of the rat tide, and then subconsciously dislike and hate those forces that are suspected of colluding with the rat tide.
The more confused and fearful one's heart becomes, the more he will vent these emotions, which will turn into intense resentment and bombard the Dao Realm.
When this step comes, some people who do not have the courage to fight the rat tide will turn to verbally criticize Daoyu. The more harshly they criticize Daoyu, the more they can cover up the anxiety and weakness in their hearts.
Then chaos will break out within the Dao Realm.
Nowadays, every top force is composed of a pyramid. The more solid the foundation at the bottom, the higher the strong people at the top will stand. Perhaps some people with discerning eyes know that Daoyu will not do such a stupid thing, but people just follow the crowd.
When the public opinion frenzy begins to show its effects, most people will lose their rational judgment and create the "truth" recognized by the majority.
"You can continue to quarrel, but I don't think the Ghost Market will give us that much time." Xiaoyaozi's words brought the quarrel to an abrupt end.
An elder said uncertainly:
"They probably won't. At least not able to."
"Yes, like you said, there won't be a ghost market and it can't happen, but there is a one percent chance that it will happen. Are you willing to take the gamble?"
"But doing so would be like completely breaking off relations!"
"No, Ghost Market just sent us a video, and everything else is our guess. The so-called threat was also made by a small figure like Hua Buqun. What he said seemed more like a joke, so the choice of the definition of the falling out came from us."
"Let's talk to Hua Buqun. If he is the only one to come forward, it means that the matter is not that serious. Or, out of a tacit understanding between the two parties, the matter can end here at Hua Buqun's level."
"Well, if the four stewards of the Ghost City, or even one of the Five Supremes, were to come forward, there would be no room for maneuver."
"The one sent to negotiate."
The elders from the two major factions fell silent and looked at Xiaoyaozi together.
Xiaoyaozi said calmly:
"Now let's talk about the second thing. Daozi hopes to send reinforcements. After all, you have just seen the scale of the rat tide."
"can."
"We will send out another 30,000 people."
"We can also gather some blue-striped Taoist soldiers."
"Sending more people can prove our determination to resist the rat tide."
No one objected, especially after realizing how dangerous the current public opinion had reached. Both the pro-war faction and the pro-play faction showed an extremely enthusiastic attitude of cooperation, which was completely different from Ling Donglai holding a sword at their throats and forcing them to make a decision.
"Then who will lead the team?" Xiaoyaozi spoke, and then saw the elders of the two major factions lower their heads again.
They all knew that the one who would enjoy all the glory in this battle was Xue Wuxia, and the others were just supporting roles. Moreover, given the dangerous situation on the battlefield, even a Tianxiang realm cultivator could die if they were not careful, so they were unwilling to agree to this difficult task.
And an elder also made a suggestion.
"The person leading the team can also go to the Southeast Province to negotiate terms. As long as it's not too much, they can agree to it. I believe that even if Hua Buqun asks for a high price, at most he can only get one Xuanxia Territory."
At this moment, the conference hall fell silent again.
Even the war hawks did not insist on holding on to this useless piece of land.
Because they all vaguely sensed the determination of the Ghost Market, and without this domain, direct conflict with the Ghost Market has been completely avoided. Judging from the absolute popularity of the Ghost Market nowadays, these elders of the Dao Domain are really afraid of being manipulated by the other side again.
Then, seeing that no one volunteered, Xiaoyaozi had to appoint the troops himself.
"Junior Brother Zhang, please go for a walk."
"Yeah." Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
This elders' meeting ended here. Ling Donglai, who had been very flamboyant last time, was extremely low-key and was the first to leave the conference hall. After the other elders left, only Xiaoyaozi and Zhang Sanfeng were left in the conference hall.
"Junior brother, is there anything else?"
"Brother, I don't think you will give in so easily. Public opinion is a double-edged sword. If you don't use it properly, it can easily backfire. Especially since the Ghost Market is now at the forefront of the storm, if you want to target them, there should be some way."
"Isn't it better to stop here?" Xiaoyaozi gave Zhang Sanfeng a deep look, "The other party only sent Hua Buqun, which is already a gesture, so let's leave it at that."
"But the situation in Xuanxia Territory is definitely not that simple, especially for Mu Dao Ren."
"A mediocre person who only has a 50% chance of breaking through the Dharma Realm, let him die." Xiaoyaozi's voice was very calm. "Besides, this is what Xiaoxueer meant."
"Xiao Xue'er?" Zhang Sanfeng frowned, "Brother, are you referring to the terms of the deal with the Ghost Market, or the cession of the entire Xuanxia Region, or this rat tide war? Actually, I received some news from the front line.
Daozi is a little too close to Mr. Xia from the Ghost Market.
You and I both know her character, and this is very unusual.”
"Then what?" Xiaoyaozi looked at Zhang Sanfeng indifferently.
“Recently, there is a rumor among the aliens that when the Ghost Lord established Wuyou Villa, he had four secret guards under his command. Among them, Feng Mo, whose identity can be confirmed, and Yue Piaoling, who later joined Ye Mansion, are both monster-level geniuses.
There are several suspected candidates behind them, but they are far inferior to these two, so I think..."
"Let's stop here." Xiaoyaozi said softly, "Junior brother, Xiaoxue'er is the Daoshi of Daoshen Palace, the future master of Daoshen Palace, and also the inner sect disciple of Jiutian Dao Palace. In the next step, she may become one of the core Daoshi cultivated by Jiutian Dao Palace.
So, let’s stop the unnecessary speculation.”
"But Senior Brother..." Zhang Sanfeng suddenly stopped talking here. He looked at Xiaoyaozi in front of him who suddenly put away his smile, and felt an irresistible and terrifying pressure from him.
You must know that after obtaining various resources from the outside world, Zhang Sanfeng's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
Because of its condensed Dharma image, it initially revealed the divine will of the Great Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo, and he also realized an extremely powerful sword technique.
So when facing Ling Donglai, he was not panicked at all. Even though they were both in the Dharma Realm, he did not think that he would be defeated by him. On the contrary, at this moment, facing Xiaoyaozi, he truly felt a qualitative gap!
"Have you reached the Tianyan realm?"
"Because I recommended and trained Xiaoxue'er." Xiaoyaozi said calmly, "So, Junior Brother, it's rare to be confused."
Zhang Sanfeng took a deep breath and nodded.
At this moment, he deeply understood a truth. When a person's talent is extremely high, everything can be forgiven as long as it does not involve the bottom line of one party. And if one really stands at the height of the Jiutian Dao Palace, Xue Wuxia's problems are nothing.
“Then the next negotiation”
"Leave it to you, Junior Brother. But your decision will be watched by more than just me." Xiaoyaozi smiled and said, "I believe Junior Brother does not want to be trapped in a small world, so this is a rare opportunity to do Xiaoxue'er a favor."
"I understand." Zhang Sanfeng smiled bitterly, and some of his thoughts changed.
