Su Changfa went on. "Wuying Qi put the supreme interests of the civilization of mankind above his own interests and those of the Star Ocean Republic's. For the sake of mankind, he would never compromise with anyone or waver in front of any choice!
"In the Battle of Karan, other than sacrificing the lives of 8.2 million ordinary people, he actually did something that made the capital very dissatisfied."
"At that time, in order to put on a good show of 'fleeing in panic', not only did he leave the 8.2 million civilians on Karan, he also left most of his starships and strategic assets there.
"Wuying Qi's forces were already thin in the first place. After losing more than half of his starships and assets, he was even more overwhelmed.
"Although the general command center and the main fleet of the Holy League's invaders were destroyed by the detonation of Karan, a lot of soldiers still dispersed and fled back to their hometown.
"It was easy to defeat them, but a lot of soldiers were required to annihilate them. Wuying Qi's border defense army was far from enough. He could only ask for the help of the vassal worlds!
"However, at the beginning, those cowardly and condescending fence-sitters were unwilling to believe that Wuying Qi could've secured such a glorious victory!
"Many of them had even reached an agreement with the Holy League on terms of surrender. Harboring ill intentions, they were even less willing to cooperate with Wuying Qi!
"Speed is the most important thing in a war. Wuying Qi has no time to waste on them!"
"Thankfully, Wuying Qi had been working in the border area for more than ten years. His' Salvation Syndicate 'was quite influential among the young Cultivators in the vassal worlds. The younger generation and the bottom-level pillars of many sects joined the' Salvation Syndicate 'in secret!
"With the help of those people, Wuying Qi cut off the communication between the vassal worlds and the Empyreal Terminus Sector, the capital of the Star Ocean Republic. Then, he 'falsely announced' that the country had entered the highest state of war and that the most elite fleets guarding the capital were on their way to the place. In the meantime, parliament granted him the right to make arbitrary decisions and to do whatever he wanted. He was now in possession of a marvelous weapon that was similar to the 'imperial sword' of the ancient dynasties. Nobody dared to disobey him!
"At such a moment of life and death, as the highest commander of the battle area, all the vassal worlds had to obey him unconditionally!
"Otherwise, they would be executed without mercy!"
"Wuying Qi was not just saying."
"For one of the most disobedient ruling sects of the vassal worlds, Wuying Qi purged them with iron fists. The sect with a population of tens of thousands was annihilated overnight, leaving no survivors!"
"In the other worlds, the Cultivators who joined the Salvation Syndicate in secret responded and seized power, too!
"With thunderous approaches and multiple approaches, Wuying Qi finally won the absolute support of the vassal worlds. He gathered their troops and formed a coalition fleet to chase the defeated troops of the Holy League. Eventually, most of the invaders of the Holy League were annihilated!"
"It was an expedient measure under the circumstances at that time. If the main force of the Holy League had not been surrounded and annihilated but only been crushed, the Holy League could have come back at any moment. Only by completely annihilating them could the peace and stability at the border of the Star Ocean Republic be guaranteed!
"However, the dukes in the court and the local emperors in other vassal worlds obviously don't think so."
"When the two 'heinous' things were combined, Wuying Qi was destined to be a tragedy!"
Su Changfa shook his head hard and sighed in regret. He was rather angry about Wuying Qi's' misfortune 'later.
The mental devil also complimented in Li Yao's brain. "Senior Wuying Qi is truly a model for the Immortal Cultivators of our generation. With a tiny troop, he crushed the barbarians, awed the scoundrels, and saved the country and the people. It was truly marvelous and brilliant! I hereby announce that Senior Wuying Qi will be my most respected and worshipped idol from this moment on! "
"Cut the crap!"
Li Yao sneered.
Just now, Su Changfa's nonsensical pestering and pretended to be a great principle made him feel dizzy and confused.
However, when right and wrong were moved from the abstract logic to more specific examples, Li Yao's keen analytical and computational abilities were back to normal again.
As for which of the Immortal Cultivators and the Cultivators was right, that could be discussed later.
However, despite Su Changfa's exaggeration, Li Yao, who had been deeply educated by the old seniors such as Xiao Xuance, Bai Xinghe, Jin Tuyi, and Lu Zui, still saw through the truth immediately.
"I, Li Mu, have seen too much. You can't fool me with flowery words!"
"It was obvious that Wuying Qi had been planning the whole thing for a long time. Otherwise, how could he have intimidated the vassal worlds and gathered all their troops in such a short time between the explosion of Karan and the collapse of the Holy League's army?
"Since Wuying Qi had been working in the borderland for more than ten years and was actively expanding the influence of the 'Salvation Syndicate', wouldn't the vassal worlds behind him that were far away from the capital be the most tender meat? Wouldn't he want to take a bite out of them?
"Wuying Qi's subordinates, namely the 'Cultivators of the Salvation Syndicate', must've infiltrated the vassal worlds a long time ago!
"The massive attack of the Covenant Alliance is just an excuse. With or without the war, Wuying Qi would've swallowed the ten or so vassal worlds in one go!"
"However, a great opportunity has presented itself right now, allowing him to do it justifiably!
"Wuying Qi executed the local magnates who disobeyed him with a 'false edict' and replaced them with the local young Cultivators who were loyal to him. The process must've been bloody. The new Cultivators who were promoted must've had their hands stained with blood. They would've had no choice but to follow Wuying Qi to the end!
"Hehe. Wuying Qi is such a ruthless man. Now that he has the troops of the vassal worlds in his hands, is it possible for him to return them?
"Hehe. Before the war, Wuying Qi was merely in charge of a border defense army that belonged to the country. He was just a common general in the army. The army was loyal to the Star Ocean Republic but not to him.
"After the war, Wuying Qi, on the other hand, controlled more than ten remote Sectors. He also boasted tremendous magical equipment, starships, and captives left by the Holy League after their defeat. His capability soared, and he was already a warlord who was qualified to compete with the capital!
"Sure enough, with a flip of his hand, he can summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.
Thinking everything through, Li Yao recalled that Wuying Qi had 'sacrificed' 8.2 million compatriots. He was suddenly enlightened!
The devil was hiding in the details!
The key of the issue was not the death of the 8.2 million ordinary people that Su Changfa had emphasized!
Instead, it was the part that he wrote casually at the end, "Wuying Qi left tremendous starships and strategic assets on Karan and had to borrow soldiers from the vassal worlds because of the shortage of troops!"
If Wuying Qi had only left empty starships and assets, why would his troops be 'understaffed'?
There could only be one answer. Other than the 8.2 million ordinary people, the starships, and the strategic assets, Wuying Qi had also left a lot of border defense troops on Karan!
Only by leaving a lot of border defense troops on Karan could the Holy League really be fooled!
What kind of border defense troops would be intentionally left behind to be killed?
Naturally, they would be the troops that were absolutely loyal to the Star Ocean Republic but not to Wuying Qi himself!
It was a great purge!
With the saber of the Holy League, Wuying Qi executed all the forces that were against him in the border defense troops and the vassal worlds, completing the unification of the border area!
Chances were that even the invasion of the Holy League had been within Wuying Qi's calculations. He had carefully calculated and guided every step of the two parties, creating an unresolvable dilemma where the 8.2 million ordinary people had to be sacrificed in order to cover his real purpose of purging and swallowing more than ten worlds!
Even if the purge was discovered, he could still claim that the soldiers had to be sacrificed in order to save the country!
Too sordid, too shameless, and too sordid! He is even more dreadful than Xiao Xuance, Bai Xinghe, Jin Tuyi, Elder Nether Spring, and Lu Zui combined!
Li Yao was sweating hard in his heart.
After thinking everything through and listening to Su Changfa's persuasion, Li Yao felt like he had seen a gorgeous, alluring beauty. His blood was boiling and he was about to do something when he accidentally discovered that her STD test results were all positive.
No matter how beautiful, sexy, or coquettish she was, she would still make people calm down in an instant. Their hearts were as still as water, shrinking into a mustard seed!
Li Yao coughed softly and pretended that he was slowly being enchanted. With deep approval popping up on his face, he continued listening to Su Changfa's lecture.
But he sneered in his heart. Keep bragging. I'd like to see what kind of trumpet you can turn a scumbag like Wuying Qi into!
Su Changfa was very satisfied to see that Li Yao was a promising young man. With mixed feelings, he said, "Wuying Qi is a man who does not care about himself for the country and the people. After he resolved the invasion of the Holy League thunderously, he vaguely had a feeling that he was destined to be criticized by the world.
"However, at that time, he was still under the illusion that the public opinion would be evenly divided. Some supported him, and some disagreed with him.
"Also, parliament would let him go for the sake of his great contributions.
"The worst that could happen was that he would be sentenced to a few years of prison by the military court. Then, he would be demobilized and focused on the development of the Salvation Syndicate. That was Wuying Qi's idea at that time."
Li Yao was almost laughing his head off. It was truly interesting to listen to Su Changfa's story after he learned the truth!
"Therefore, after he was summoned by parliament, Wuying Qi returned to the capital without any hesitation.
