"I judge that Young Master has long had the idea of abandoning the Southern Territory."
His words immediately caused an earthquake in the hall.
It's just that due to the current strength of Xingyi Sect, no one refuted it face to face.
They all listened patiently to Hou Ying's continued story.
"Tiangong initially discovered that the people of the Southern Territory were highly hostile to them, but they did not take much action."
"It's just the migration of those sects and people who are willing to leave the Southern Territory."
"We have adopted a completely indulgent policy towards those of us and the remaining people who stayed in the Southern Territory."
"What you mean is that Tiangong is conducting a test. Those sects and people who are committed to Tiangong have consciously moved into the Central Territory, and the rest are naturally hostile to Tiangong."
It was "old partner" Cai Ru who quickly understood what he meant.
"That's right, and for so many years Tiangong has never thought of changing the people of the Southern Territory's view of them. It only exploits resources from us."
"Even when we send disciples to Qishan Fortress for training, we are still open to the Southern Territory sects. We only need to pay spiritual stones to replace them."
"We have avoided having too much interaction with Tiangong for many years, but now that I think about it, the other party is not happy about it."
Hou Ying's words caused other sect warriors to think deeply.
Everyone suddenly discovered that things were exactly as Hou Ying said.
Apart from collecting resources from the Southern Territory, Tiangong has had no contact with them for so many years.
"There is no reason for Tiangong to abandon us, and there are so many people in the Southern Territory."
"Don't you pride yourself on loving the people as a son?"
"And the untouchables are the easiest to change. As long as a period of time passes, they will naturally have their hearts set on the Heavenly Palace."
"Time, yes it is time! I finally know the reason why Tiangong did this."
It seemed that Cai Ru's words reminded Hou Ying, and he looked like he suddenly understood.
Others looked at him confused.
"I finally know why Tiangong indulges us so much. Young master is so scheming."
"Just when we were feeling proud, we all fell into his trap."
"Young Master is so cruel!"
Hou Ying's constant sighs made everyone even more confused.
Because you don't understand what he is saying at all?
"The master has already set up a plan, and we, the demons, and the untouchables in the southern region have long been trapped in his trap."
"Can you please speak more clearly?"
The more Hou Ying talks about it, the more "profound" it gets, and everyone is still confused by Monk Zhang Er.
Even Ma Ying couldn't help but ask him to speak "human words".
After Hou Ying calmed down, he said in a deep voice, "Actually, this disciple has had doubts before, but many things cannot be reasonably explained."
"But what Sect Leader Cai said just now reminded me and made me figure out the key to the whole thing."
"And the key is 'time'."
"time?"
Obviously everyone still cannot understand the core concept he wants to express.
"As Sect Leader Cai said, as long as Tiangong is given time, it will not be difficult to change the views of the untouchables."
"But what Tiangong lacks most at this stage is precisely time."
"Since the invasion of the demons is imminent, Tiangong needs to build a consensus internally so that everyone can fight against the enemy together."
"If we are accepted, it will most likely cause internal instability."
"It even destroys the atmosphere of sharing the same hatred and the same enemy."
Hearing Hou Ying say this, the faces of everyone in the hall changed.
"Are you saying that Tiangong has no intention of accepting us in the first place?"
Ma Ying asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, for Tiangong, we are a huge burden or a hidden bomb. What benefit does it bring to them to accept us?"
"There are not only sects but also hundreds of millions of untouchables living in the Southern Territory. Doesn't Tiangong always value them? Is it so easy to abandon them?"
"There are also many untouchables in the Western Continent, and Tiangong doesn't even give them a chance to migrate."
"Young Master will not allow anything that affects its internal stability to happen."
"Especially in the current situation of the enemy."
Seeing that everyone still had unrealistic illusions, Hou Yingshou took the Western Continent as an example.
"Our southern region is different from the western continent. They are evil alliances, and we are members of the righteous alliance."
Cai Ru still could not accept Hou Ying's theory and emphasized the origin of the Southern Region and the Eastern Continent.
"Whether it's the evil alliance or the righteous alliance, which one was established by Tiangong, and what does it have to do with him?"
"Now that the Southern Territory has been half occupied, can Tiangong do anything?"
Hou Ying's last words completely shattered everyone's illusions.
In fact, other sects were also a little worried at first, but now Hou Ying has personally extinguished their last hope.
"Young Master is too scary!"
"He had no intention of accepting the Southern Territory, but due to his reputation, he couldn't put the butcher's knife on the untouchables."
"First they took advantage of us and did not move all the untouchables to the eastern continent so as not to affect their internal unity."
"Now he is using the demons to clear out the untouchables. His goals are all achieved. Not only does he not contribute half of his efforts, but it also affects his image at all. And we are just villains in vain."
Cai Ru is awake now.
He did not expect that he had deliberately planned for the Southern Territory to become independent.
But it completely played into the young master's wish.
Thinking that by binding the untouchables and the sect together, they can threaten the Heavenly Palace.
Unexpectedly, the young master just went with the flow and watched their performance quietly.
He is just a "clown" through and through.
Warriors from other sects did not feel as sad as he did about Spring and Autumn.
What everyone is paying attention to now is whether Nanshan Fortress can accept them?
If it is really like what Hou Ying and Cai Ru analyzed.
Then their only escape route is gone.
Let them fight the demons?
What a joke!
The demons have not encountered any resistance since they entered the Southern Territory.
The warriors here are even weaker than those on the western continent.
Just run away!
When they caught up, he looked at the demons with pitiful eyes.
However, it has no effect.
How can they fight against such a terrifying demon clan?
"This is the analysis of the two of you. We are all human beings. The Heavenly Palace will never sit back and watch us being slaughtered by the demons."
"That is, how much tribute the Heavenly Palace has collected from us over the years. When we are in trouble, they have the obligation to defend us against the demons."
"As the strongest warrior in the Shanhai Continent, the young master cannot be a coward at this time. He should go to Nanshan Fortress immediately and have a real fight with the demons with real swords and guns."
It was completely impossible to accept this inference, and the hall began to become messy.
"I can understand everyone's mood. In fact, it is very simple to judge whether this matter is true or false."
Hou Ying brought everyone back together to face the problem at hand.
"Sect Master Hou, please tell me."
Many people couldn't wait to urge him to give the answer quickly.
"This place is only three thousand miles away from Nanshan Fortress. You can set out now to verify Tiangong's attitude for yourself."
Hou Ying's words made everyone wake up from a dream.
They were all deeply shocked by its conclusion and were at a loss for a while.
Completely forgetting the simplest way.
Now the sect no longer cares about the so-called opportunity to enter the customs.
They all expressed their willingness to go to Nanshan Fortress on behalf of the Southern Territory Sect.
There are more than thirty sects who have come forward.
They no longer waited for instructions from Cai Ru, Hou Ying and others, and gathered the disciples first to prepare to set off for Nanshan Fortress. Soon only the top brass of the Heart Fist Sect and the Xingyi Sect were left in the hall.
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.
They are no longer the heroes who lead the Southern Territory sects to "self-reliance".
If it weren't for the strength of the two sects, they would most likely push them out to "take the blame."
Never try to test the humanity of the Southern Territory Sect!
"How confident are you in your inference?"
Since she had never heard Hou Ying mention this before, Ma Ying was still a little reluctant.
"More than 90%25."
This answer made everyone lose interest in talking.
The entire hall fell into silence.
Even the noise in the city can be heard clearly.
Apparently many sects had already gotten up and rushed to Nanshan Fortress.
I don’t know how long it took.
It was Ma Ying who spoke first and broke the calm.
"If Tiangong really refuses us entry into Nanshan Fortress, there is only one way to save our lives."
"any solution?"
Hearing him say this, the eyes of several other people lit up.
"That is to lurk near Nanshan Fortress. When the demons arrive, chaos will inevitably occur when the two sides fight."
"We can take this opportunity to fly to Nanshan Fortress."
"Then quickly pass through the fortress, sneak into the eastern continent, and hide."
"Tiangong is busy fighting the demons. Naturally, small fish and shrimps like us will not arouse their interest."
Ma Ying's plan is also risky, but it is already everyone's best choice at the moment.
The point is that their current ending is hilarious.
They promoted the independence of the Southern Region in order to ensure the power and status of their respective sects.
Unexpectedly, they cannot even protect their basic needs for life.
All the mechanisms were exhausted, but Qingqing's life was lost.
This is a huge irony for them.
As for confronting the demons head-on, it has never been an option for them.
Just like Ma Ying's final plan.
Even when there is no way out, what they want is to challenge the Heavenly Palace, not to fight against the demons.
In their eyes, what does the safety of the mainland have to do with them?
As long as their rights and status are not affected, they have no problem with all the untouchables dying.
If the demons hadn't accepted vassalage, they wouldn't have chosen to escape.
Wouldn't it be nice to hug the demon's thigh tightly?
Naturally, the movements of the sects in the Southern Territory cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of Tiangong.
But Chu Ming didn't take it to heart.
Because he knew that these people were rotten to the core and beyond redemption.
He was "appreciating" the mountain-like storage ring brought back by Six Sword Slave, as well as the jaw-dropping number of spiritual stones inside.
Chu Ming felt dizzy with happiness!
"Xiao Tie, I want to buy 30,000 sets of Martial Emperor equipment."
"Okay, Master."
Chu Ming felt that the spiritual stones he stored in the system space were rapidly decreasing, and he felt inexplicably heartbroken.
