In the mortal world, the battle with the Wild Crow did not have much of an effect. Everything returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
Although all the buildings outside the planet were burned down, the clans in the previous life had money and easily rebuilt everything. Sorcerers were good at dealing with this kind of thing, so everything was done without much effort. At this time, the allied forces of the Outer Realm launched a second invasion, instantly stealing a large amount of resources.
This attack was very timely. The clans in the previous life were furious and immediately retaliated.
However, they were faced with two problems.
First.
Some of the Spirit Hunting Groups in the previous life's secret realm retreated. There was no other reason than the Wild Crow's existence. If a monster like this appeared in the Outer Realm, who knew if there would be a second one. If they happened to encounter one during a surprise attack, then even ten lives would not be enough. Moreover, the Wild Crow's first revenge had burned down an entire secret realm.
If there was another monster like this, their own secret realm would be in danger.
Second problem.
"More money?"
"Yes, the remaining Spirit Hunting Groups are all asking for more money, or else they won't do it." Lu Qiyin looked depressed. As the leader of the sentinel group, he had tried his best to persuade the members of the Spirit Hunting Groups. However, it was to no avail.
Reason?
Haha, even an idiot would know.
Who was the one who suggested increasing the pay last time? Guards. Who was the one who suggested reducing the pay? Lu Qiyin himself. In other words, when the clans had the upper hand in the previous life, Lu Qiyin kept reducing the pay, forcing the Spirit Hunting Groups to work at a lower price. Now that the Wild Crow had caused a ruckus, retribution came.
"How much do they want?" Yuan Sha and the other elders appeared again.
They were in charge.
Because the Great Primordial Elf and Great Luo Yao did not show up, Wu Yingfu and Weigongjing could not possibly care about the clans in the previous life. Therefore, Yuan Sha and Luo Xiangyun could only take charge. Of course, they could not compare to the Outer Realm Rulers, but they were stronger than the average ancestral spirit elders and clan elders. If they did not take charge, the others would not dare to show off.
"Four times." Lu Qiyin lowered his head. After all, he had the most to do with this.
"Are you kidding?" Yuan Sha was furious when he heard this number.
"No, they all want four times, or none of the Spirit Hunting Groups would do anything. I suspect that they have been in ca- "
"Is there even a need to doubt it?" Yuan Sha interrupted angrily.
Previously, Lu Qiyin's suggestion to reduce the clan's remuneration had indeed saved everyone a lot of money. However, this time, the entire Spirit Hunting Group's request for an increase in remuneration had undoubtedly reversed the situation. At this time, all of the ancestral spirit elders remembered that the lowest price they had received was … 40%.
Starting from ninety percent, to eighty percent, seventy percent, sixty percent, fifty percent, and finally to forty percent, the Spirit Hunting Group still had to fight.
The 40% that was less than half of the remuneration was really a lot of savings.
Right now.
Forty percent and four times … There was no doubt that the Spirit Hunters had done this on purpose. At that time, they had lowered the price to 40% at the very least. Now, they were asking for four times the price. It was obvious that they were taking revenge for the reduction in pay at that time. Were there any connections between the Spirit Hunting Groups? Even a fool would know that there must be. Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to ask for four times the price.
If the various secret worlds were not united, it would be a miracle if the Spirit Hunting Groups were united.
Lu Qiyin didn't dare to make a sound.
He knew that 40% of the price was his' plan ', so he was definitely the one taking the blame now. The elders of the sects in the previous life wouldn't think that they were wrong. If something was wrong, it must be someone else's fault. Besides, this time, he was the one who started it. It was normal for the Spirit Hunting Group to take revenge.
"What do we do?" Luo Xiangyun only wanted to solve this problem.
"Let's ask that person." Yuan Sha glanced around. None of the elders spoke. Helpless, he could only mention a person that he didn't want to talk about.
Five minutes later.
Wei Yong's magic communication screen turned on, listening to the progress of today's incident.
"Very easy. There are two plans."
"Hmm? Go ahead. " The elders looked at Lu Qiyin subconsciously. This leader of the sentinels really didn't know anything other than pretending to be mute.
"First, the elders will form their own team and carry out this surprise attack plan. The allied forces of the Outer Realm are invading. We have to fight back. The Wild Crows have severely damaged the morale. We must have some 'victories' to encourage everyone. The Spirit Hunting Group is scattered. Once they see that we are going out, they will disperse. "Wei Yong immediately gave the first suggestion. But at this moment, Lu Qiyin, who had his head lowered, smiled.
"We have other things to do. We don't have time." Yuan Sha rejected without thinking.
Going out.
What a dangerous thing to do. They would die … Even though there was a resurrection pool, the losses could be severe.
"Then, there is only the second method left. Ask the Spirit Hunting Group to launch a surprise attack on the Outer Realm. Didn't they ask for four times? We will give them eight times. We will first block them before raising the price … "Wei Yong continued to suggest. Similarly, Lu Qiyin, who had his head lowered, almost laughed out loud.
"That's impossible." Yuan Sha rejected again, shouting sternly.
Suddenly.
Yuan Sha realized that it was a mistake to let Wei Yong appear. This intelligence agent was very good, but … he never thought about the sects of his previous life.
His first priority was the Outer Realm, not the sects of his previous life.
"You can leave." Yuan Sha didn't want to listen anymore. He needed an intelligence agent who thought about the large sects, not the entire Outer Realm. In Yuan Sha's eyes, other than those with the surname Yuan, no one else was important. If his clan declined, then no matter how prosperous the Outer Realm was, it had nothing to do with him. What was good for him was good. What did everyone else have to do with him?
Wei Yong cupped his hands and didn't say anything else. The screen turned off.
Lu Qiyin still had his head lowered. He looked like he was reading the information, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
He suddenly felt: Wei Yong was very interesting.
From a certain point of view, all of his suggestions were correct. But unfortunately, none of his suggestions were accepted. It could even be said that no matter what Wei Yong suggested, no one would do it. It was as if this fellow had a crow's beak and wanted to do the exact opposite.
What was annoying was that Wei Yong was right every time.
The more Wei Yong was right, the more the clan elders were wrong. Because the more mistakes there were, the more the elders refused to acknowledge Wei Yong. Because once they acknowledged him, everything they had done before would be wrong. Yuan Sha had this mentality … if Wei Yong was wrong, then he was right. Everyone was wrong. In the Outer Realm, the elders of the previous life couldn't be wrong. Only Wei Yong could be wrong.
"Eight times …" Luo Xiangyun smiled bitterly. This answer couldn't be accepted.
Yuan Sha and the others discussed for a long time.
They had no idea.
They could only agree first and launch a surprise attack to regain some morale. Recently, there were already some small clans that had left for some destitute secret realms of the previous world. If this continued, the large clans would be able to occupy more and more resources, but the number of people in the Outer Realm would decrease.
A counterattack had to be carried out.
At this moment.
The various large Spirit Hunting Groups received four times the reward and set off excitedly. In the previous life, it was inevitable that the clans and the Outer Realm would tear each other apart. No one was surprised. However, at this moment, a special guest visited Wei Yong.
Although he used a fake name and identity, he didn't hide his words.
"Sorry, let me explain again. The 'Wei Yang' that was reported just now is fake. I am not from the Wei Clan and have nothing to do with Wei Yanshi. If there is any contact, then I once broke one of Wei Yanshi's ancient artifacts. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to kill him. Let me introduce myself. I am Yuan Taiwen, the ruler of the Outer Realm, the military advisor of the Outer Realm Alliance. "
"You actually managed to sneak in? It seems that you have all figured out the 'map' here. "Wei Yong wasn't surprised because he wasn't the original Wei Yong.
"You aren't surprised. I guessed that you were different. Alright, let's not talk nonsense and get straight to the point. Recently, I have been studying the Sentinel Regiment of the clans in the previous life and found that Lu Qiyin was just trash. The entire Sentinel Regiment was also trash. Lu Qiyin used to be someone we were afraid of, but the Great Curse Human Emperor killed him. We have one less big enemy. "Yuan Taiwen explained slowly. He wasn't in a hurry.
"Mm." Wei Yong only responded with one word.
"Recently, I have been studying you. From your failure to your rebirth, you have been improving at a rapid pace for the past few decades. Your strength is still trash, but your intelligence seems to have been enlightened. I don't believe in miracles. It is not strange that you can understand it once, but it is abnormal that you keep improving. Of course, the others are different from me. They don't value intelligence, so they only see the small improvement in your strength. "
"So?"
"I invite you to join the Outer Realm Alliance, and I will give up the position of military advisor. How about it?"
"Allow me to refuse."
"Do you believe that I will kidnap you?"
"You know that kidnapped intelligence analysts are useless, other than to be locked up and fed." Wei Yong laughed.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything about the invitation. Second question, I will buy a strategy: How do we prevent the Spirit Hunting Group from the Secret Realm? They cause serious damage. It is not that we can't tolerate it, but our logistics can't develop. "Yuan Taiwen asked.
"Why should I help you?"
"Because your suggestions are all correct, but none of them were accepted. I personally feel that you are doing it on purpose. If you mention it, the Clans of the Upper Realm will not do it. If you don't mention it, they might do it themselves. "
"Are you saying that I am tricking the Clans of the Upper Realm?"
"No, maybe you are saving the Upper Realm, but in the process, you are tricking some people." Yuan Taiwen laughed.
"Okay, you didn't force me. I can help you once, but there is a condition."
"Of course there is. I wouldn't believe you if you didn't."
"Here is a list …" Wei Yong took out a secret stone that recorded the information of a group of people. "They were once failures, and now they are my allies and intelligence collaborators. When you invade the Upper Realm, you cannot kill them. Even if you kill them, you can use the Resurrection Spell to revive them. "
"If there are not many of them, I can. Then, what is the answer I want? "
"The Spirit Hunting Group will do anything as long as they are paid."
"Oh, that makes sense, but our money can't compare to the Clans of the Upper Realm."
"That depends on the danger index. Zero danger, no matter how little money is cheap, it is still a benefit. Let me tell you something strange. Listen to it. "Wei Yong said lightly.
"Okay."
"One day, a Spirit Hunting Group invaded the Upper Realm, preparing to destroy and slaughter all the creatures in the Upper Realm. However, a group of opponents who were not weaker than them appeared. They even gave them a small sum of money and negotiated for them to be merciful. Of course, destruction and slaughter were necessary. That was the mission. However, destroying some unimportant planets and slaughtering them to the extent that they could be revived, this also counted as completing the mission. So, both sides happily decided that under the 'zero danger' situation, everyone would do something that was good for both of them. "
"…" Yuan Taiwen understood. He really understood.
The Spirit Hunting Group received the money and had to complete the mission. They had to destroy and slaughter … but to what extent was not specified.
Even if they used magic to record, destruction was destruction, and slaughter was slaughter.
There was nothing wrong with it. They had completed the mission.
However …
Destruction to the extent of 'repairable' and 'unrepairable' were two different concepts. 'Revivable' and 'Non-Revivable' were also two different outcomes. As long as the Spirit Hunting Group was merciful, the Outer Realm Alliance Army did not mind spending some money to protect the logistics base. After all, the Clans of the Upper Realm were their greatest enemies.
On the other hand …
The Spirit Hunting Group did not need to fight when they met the enemy. They could even collect money. They were willing to do anything as long as they were paid.
"If you change your mind, you will always be the Military Advisor of the Outer Realm Alliance Army."
"No need. Thank you. Take care."
Hence …
There was a small change.
The Spirit Hunting Group of the Upper Realm Alliance Army began to take action. They launched a surprise attack on the Outer Realm Alliance Army that was unguarded. Most of them were very successful. However, some of them also fell into the trap. In the trap, they encountered a more powerful enemy. Basically, it was a dead end.
However …
It was very surprising.
The enemy did not kill them. Instead … they gave them money!
The money was not much. They only asked them to do a small task that they had to do anyway, but they had to hold back a little when they attacked. Hence, the members of the Spirit Hunting Group who survived agreed. There was no danger to their lives and they could collect money from both sides. Only fools would not do it. The Spirit Hunting Group even took the initiative to suggest that they would come again next time. Their 'surprise attack performance' would be more exquisite and would ensure that the Outer Realm Alliance Army would be more satisfied.
The Outer Realm Alliance Army naturally agreed. They decided to increase the reward at the last minute … Since they were sincere, they had to be more sincere.
Hence …
The more they talked, the happier they became. They almost became sworn brothers on the spot.
Of course, everyone was acting. The most important thing was that the reward was in place. As long as they were willing to spend money, everything was easy.
After the surprise attack.
The Spirit Hunting Group came back with rich results. However, they made a request that the Clans of the Upper Realm did not want to hear the most.
"Next time, we don't want four times. We want five times."
"…"
