Chapter 175 Who is the enemy?
The sky gradually brightened.
Liu Yuntian looked up and said, "Go ahead. If you get into trouble that you can't solve, go back to Northern Frontier... I'll clean up your mess for you."
After saying this, Liu Yuntian's figure gradually disappeared.
This shocked Liu Yi, "Where are you going?"
But the only response he got was the chirping of birds in the woods.
"Xiaoyi?" Zheng Ye's voice came from behind, "Are you not asleep?"
Liu turned around and saw Zheng Ye standing behind him, looking at him with a worried expression.
Then he shook his head, "I can't sleep."
Zheng Ye scratched his head and looked around, "Senior... is gone?"
Liu Yi nodded dejectedly without saying a word.
"Do you want to find a place to rest for a day? You haven't rested for two days, and there's no rush to go to Qiyang City..."
"No need, Brother Zheng. I'm not tired. I still need to hurry on my way."
Having said that, Liu Yi turned back to the campfire and put it out and covered it with soil.
Zheng Ye stood there thoughtfully, squinting his eyes and looking at Liu Yi for a long time, then put on a gentle smile, "Brother, let me help you."
......
Zhongzhou, the holy land of flowers.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn and depressing.
Ruyi, the Holy Lord of Flowers, sat on a high seat, her eyes sharp as an eagle as she scanned the people below.
There were two rows of elders standing below, all of them with solemn expressions, including the Saints Nalan Yumo and Wang Shu.
There was silence in the hall, and no one dared to speak to break the suffocating silence.
At this time, Ruyi on the high seat finally spoke up: "What's the matter? You usually shout so loudly, but now when it comes to your own interests, you have all become silent?"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the hall.
Everyone's faces instantly became more embarrassed. They lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Ruyi's eyes.
"Holy Lord."
At this time, a middle-aged lady walked out of the queue, her voice low and firm.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the Holy Lord, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Although Liu Yuntian is an unforgivable evildoer, if we distribute the salt and sugar to the various sects, we may not be able to crush him. After all, even if he loses the salt and sugar, he still has a close cooperative relationship with the weapon refining, spiritual medicine and beast taming holy land."
"Yes, Holy Lord, suppressing the Northern Frontier is not something that our Hundred Flowers Holy Land should consider. Moreover, if the Northern Frontier really collapses, I am afraid I will have to pay a greater price... First of all, we will not be able to explain to the other three holy lands about the shortage of beast slaves, medicine slaves, clothing and spiritual treasures."
An old woman leaned on her cane and gave earnest advice.
"Then what do you say we should do?" Ruyi said with displeasure, "Isn't it because you were careless and couldn't even keep an eye on a second-rate sect? And you were taken advantage of by the Wuji Holy Land and dragged into the water?!"
After saying that, Ruyi slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After calming down, she said, "Nalan."
"Master." Nalan Yumo bowed in response.
"The most difficult thing about this is you. You have been working with Liu Yuntian for a long time. What do you think?"
Nalan Yumo had a blank expression on her face. Ever since she started working with Liu Yuntian, she had used all the money she earned to support the Holy Land, taking care of everything and never neglecting anyone.
At the same time, one also benefits, causing one's cultivation to grow rapidly.
But since Wang Shu appeared, everyone's greed has been revealed.
I knew it would cause me a severe blow, but I still did it.
In the end, he just said a few words of consolation and let the matter go.
At this moment, the Baihua Holy Land has been dragged into this by the Wuji Holy Land, and has now even issued an invitation to jointly target the Northern Frontier.
If you really do this, you will hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of your own.
And she, Nalan Yumo, was the first victim.
If she wants to start a business war with Northern Frontier and completely crush the other party, then she, as Northern Frontier's top saleswoman, will suffer a fatal blow.
"Master, you are joking. As the Saint of the Holy Land, I naturally put the interests of the Holy Land first in everything I do!"
Hearing Nalan say this, all the elders sighed.
As long as the business war starts, the Holy Land of Hundred Flowers will suffer heavy losses. First of all, the profits from salt and sugar will shrink rapidly, and everyone's profits will also be reduced.
What's more, the Holy Land of Flowers is now on the rise thanks to Salt and Sugar.
Losing something is always harder to accept than never having it at all!
Ruyi also understood this point.
If they really cooperate with the Wuji Holy Land to attack the Northern Frontier, both sides will suffer heavy losses, and the only one who will have the last laugh is the Wuji Holy Land.
Because he has nothing to begin with, he only fears that the world will not be in chaos.
But if they rejected the Wuji Holy Land, they would first offend Northern Frontier, and then offend the Wuji Holy Land at this time, which would make the situation of the Baihua Holy Land even more difficult.
"Shu'er..."
"Disciple is here!" Wang Shu raised his eyebrows at Nalan Yumo, then stood out respectfully.
"You have always been in charge of the sale of salt and sugar in the sect. If you really attack Northern Frontier, how serious will the loss of our Hundred Flowers Holy Land be?"
Wang Shu first let out a long sigh, and his lonely expression was heartbreaking.
“Reporting to Master, if I were to speak for myself, the grudge between me and Demon Liu would naturally be a fight to the death, but…”
At this point, Wang Shu gritted his teeth and said in a helpless tone, "But if you really do this, then my Baihua Holy Land will be shackled by the Wuji Holy Land forever!"
"Yes!"
"Xiao Shu is still far-sighted!"
"That's right, my Hundred Flowers Holy Land can no longer be someone else's puppet!"
Everyone echoed and expressed their admiration for Wang Shu without reservation.
Nalan Yumo widened her eyes in disbelief. Wang Shu's green tea behavior caught her off guard.
She should have been the one who volunteered and received praise.
As a result, the loss even robbed him of his last bit of reputation.
But there was nothing she could do about it. This was Wang Shu's advantage. After all, she and Liu Yuntian were in a cooperative relationship. In order to avoid suspicion, she could only agree with Ruyi.
But Wang Shu was different. She had a deep hatred for Liu Yuntian, so if she said this, no one would doubt it.
And it will be very credible!
After all, people who are willing to sacrifice their own interests and contribute to the collective are the most convincing.
But only Wang Shu himself knew that Liu Yuntian's deployment was a brilliant move.
Place a bad guy among the crowd and keep the rhythm going.
Who could have imagined that this leader, who had such deep hatred for the enemy, was actually an undercover agent of the enemy?
“If we don’t confront the Northern Frontier… then how will the Wuji Holy Land respond?” Ruyi glanced at everyone and asked.
