Not far from the Stone Jade City branch, on a mountain top that wasn't too high, Yue Qianchou stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. Occasionally, there was smoke curling up from chimneys in the mountains, not sure if it was a village or a hunter's house. Looking to the north, the outline of the entire capital of Asi could be seen, it was a scene of a vast land.
Both Guan Zhongkai and Yu Lan stood behind him, they didn't know what he was thinking, they stood motionless for a long time. The two didn't dare to disturb him, they only secretly communicated with each other through voice transmission while exchanging glances.
From time to time, there were cultivators flying past in the sky, this kind of frequent passing rate was rarely seen, they didn't know what urgent matter it was. It was estimated that the cultivators flying across the sky wouldn't notice the three people on the top of the mountain. However, Guan Zhongkai and Yu Lan looked up from time to time.
"Say, why do the cultivators who fly freely in the sky want to dominate the mortals who work hard on the earth?" Yue Qianchou suddenly waved his hand and pointed to the bustling capital in the distance and asked.
Guan Zhongkai and Yu Lan looked at each other, they didn't know why he asked this, but this question was really difficult to answer. A person's Grandmaster, a person's Master, they were all lords, how could they make a rash judgment?
But it was not good to not answer. Guan Zhongkai took a step forward and said with a smile, "Mortals are so ignorant, how can they be qualified to dominate the world, we cultivators move freely in the world, our vision is broad, we are naturally qualified to dominate them."
Yu Lan also stepped forward and said, "With senior's cultivation, sooner or later, you will also become a lord, there is no doubt about this."
Yue Qianchou looked around and asked again, "When did the rule that cultivators can't interfere in the affairs of the secular world appear?"
"Uh …" The two of them were startled at the same time, they looked at each other questioningly, they both shook their heads slightly. Guan Zhongkai replied, "This rule has been around for a long time, we really don't know when it actually appeared. Why does senior ask this? "
Yue Qianchou said indifferently, "Do you think everyone follows this rule?"
"Of course!" Guan Zhongkai said with certainty, "Cultivators in the Cultivation World basically don't interfere with worldly affairs. Everyone knows this."
"Then why are there still lords in each country? Take your grandmaster, Yin Baikang, and your master, Shangguan Taiping, for example. Aren't they meddling in worldly affairs?" Yue Qianchou asked.
Guan Zhongkai was speechless. Even Yu Lan gave him a look and smiled, "This is also for the good of the mortals in the secular world. As long as there are lords in each country, there won't be any chaos. Otherwise, when mortals fight for power and profit, how can there not be conflicts in hundreds of countries? I'm afraid there will be wars every day, and the mortals will be the ones suffering. "
"Yes, yes, yes. That's the logic." Guan Zhongkai echoed.
"As far as I know, once a country's lord is annihilated by another country's lord, it's the start of a secular war. Start annexing the territories of the losers. " Yue Qianchou turned around and looked at the two of them, saying, "Because of this, almost every lord is pressuring the emperors of the secular world to maintain a state of war all year round in preparation for annexing territories."
"This …" Yu Lan smiled bitterly, "It's been like this for countless years. Senior, why do you worry about these mortals?"
Guan Zhongkai also nodded, "Yes! Yes! "
Yue Qianchou coldly glanced at the two of them and continued, "Because the countries maintain a state of war all year round, the corvee labor and heavy taxes make the people suffer year after year. Even if they want to rebel, they will never be able to do so because of the interference of the Cultivation World. Because the nobles of the various countries have the support of the Cultivation World, they are not afraid of their power being overthrown. They take the opportunity to act recklessly and bully the common people. When a regime is rotten and can't take it anymore, it should be overthrown. This is the normal rule. The forceful interference of the Cultivation World is against the natural order. "
"Ah!" The two of them were stunned at the same time and did not know what to say. Yue Qianchou's words had subverted their common sense. Yu Lan asked tentatively, "Senior, what do you mean?"
"Hehe! You don't have to be surprised. I was just saying. "Yue Qianchou smiled and turned around. There was no point in saying this to them. He narrowed his eyes and a cold glint flickered in his eyes as he examined the world again.
During this period of time, he had seen too many hardships of the people's lives. Previously, he was limited by the geographical environment and thought that it was just a problem of the governance of a certain country. Who would have thought that after visiting so many countries, almost all of them were like this? He still could not understand why the common people did not rebel when they were forced to this point. While he was puzzled, he thought of the Cultivation World, a colossus that mortals could not overthrow. The lords behind every country were the top experts of the Cultivation World. Furthermore, these experts had great influence in the Cultivation World. Mortals had no way of resisting at all.
Guan Zhongkai and Yu Lan came to a realization. So he was just saying it casually. They thought that this Senior Niu had gone crazy. Why did he have to talk about mortals? His train of thought was too jumpy. The two of them could not keep up.
"Senior, shouldn't we make a move?" Guan Zhongkai asked.
"There's no rush. It's too late. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow." Yue Qianchou said and flew towards the Jade City branch.
It's too late? The two of them looked at the sun above them. It was just past noon. Was it considered too late? What kind of logic was this? The two of them looked at each other helplessly. They were used to seeing Niu Youde's crazy actions along the way. They were not surprised at all. They quickly followed him.
When they arrived at the inner hall of the branch, Yue Qianchou waved to the two of them and said, "I want to sleep. Don't let anyone disturb me without my permission."
The two of them were speechless again. They could only obey. This was the first time they saw an expert who liked to sleep. On the flying artifact, he often slept soundly. What a freak!
After the two of them left, Yue Qianchou stared at Yin Baikang's portrait in the main hall. Although he had sparred with Yin Baikang in Dayan Kingdom, the two of them had never met. However, from this portrait, Yin Baikang looked like a proper person. He had a sage-like demeanor.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly and returned to the room he had prepared for himself. Then, he disappeared …
In Utopia's military camp, Guan Yu and Zhang Peng were summoned. Zhang Peng had been assigned by Yue Qianchou to be Guan Yu's adjutant. He was to assist Guan Yu in everything.
After greeting each other, Yue Qianchou did not waste any time. He directly asked, "Zhang Peng, what's the cultivation level of the members in the military camp?"
Zhang Peng replied, "There are around 3,000 in the early stage of Tribulation Passing and 3,000 in the Nascent Soul stage. There are also around 3,000 who have reached the Core Formation stage."
Yue Qianchou gave Guan Yu a questioning look. Guan Yu nodded, indicating that it was not bad.
"Zhang Peng, I have a mission for you this time. Are you confident that you can complete it?" Yue Qianchou smiled.
"Yes." Zhang Peng became excited. He could not help but ask, "Master, what mission? Is it the same as last time? "
Yue Qianchou nodded. "Not bad, but the scale will be much larger than last time." Then, he turned to Guan Yu and smiled. "Yunchang, this guy lacks the experience of commanding battles in the cultivation world. This time, I'll let him come up with the battle plan. What do you think? "
"Okay!" Guan Yu agreed. There was an indescribable loneliness in his tone. Actually, he knew that ever since he publicly disobeyed Boss's orders, the relationship between the two of them was not as good as before. Although Boss still had a polite smile on his face, the fact that he suddenly appointed Zhang Peng as his adjutant was already a very deep meaning.
In particular, there were a few regiment commanders who held great power in the military camp. Sometimes, they were more obedient to Zhang Peng than to him. Guan Yu also knew in his heart that these commanders were people that Boss would contact in secret. These regiment commanders' attitudes were ambiguous, but Boss's shadow was actually behind them. Before long, he would have to retreat behind the scenes, and the position of chief instructor would be given to Zhang Peng sooner or later.
Because he understood this, he started to give up power to Zhang Peng. Intentionally or unintentionally, he highlighted Zhang Peng's position in the military. There was no need to fight for anything. In Utopia, no one could win against Boss. Everyone knew that Yue Qianchou was the leader of the entire Utopia.
Zhang Peng could hear the loneliness in Guan Yu's tone, but he was not an idiot. No matter how rash a general who was once good at war looked, he would not be an idiot. Otherwise, how could he always win battles?
Although his master did not say anything about his master suddenly assigning him to be Guan Yu's adjutant, he was well aware of his master's intentions after considering the entire sequence of events.
"Master, I really do not have enough experience. I'm afraid I still need the chief instructor's guidance," Zhang Peng said sincerely and humbly.
Guan Yu smiled and said, "You can do it. In terms of arranging troops, you are actually better than me."
Yue Qianchou silently looked at Guan Yu and sighed in his heart. It was good that they were both smart people. Otherwise, they would fall out with each other. It was good for everyone from start to finish.
Originally, when Guan Yu publicly disobeyed his orders, he wanted to directly replace Guan Yu. There was no room for discussion. It would be terrible if he publicly disobeyed orders on the battlefield. However, Guan Yu's position in the army was not low. He was the chief instructor of all the team members. All the team members were trained by him. If he were to directly replace him, the impact would be too great. The morale of the army would be unstable!
Furthermore, it would be difficult to find a suitable person to take over. Thus, he threw Zhang Peng over to be the adjutant to learn. He believed that Zhang Peng, who had rich experience in leading troops, would be able to take on the role in the future. From the looks of it, everyone knew what to do. That was good. Otherwise, he would have to use ruthless methods to cleanse them.
"It's decided. Zhang Peng will lead the organization. If there are any inadequacies, Yunchang will give you more pointers." Yue Qianchou changed the topic and said in a deep voice, "Gather everyone and stand by. Wait for my news."
"Yes!" The two of them accepted the order in unison. However, Zhang Peng was a little confused and reminded, "Master, won't it be too conspicuous for so many people to go out at once?" He had followed them outside and knew how powerful those Soul Formation experts were. If they were discovered, it would be troublesome if they couldn't retreat in time.
Knowing his concern, Yue Qianchou sneered and said, "The looting outside is in full swing. This is the time when our defense is at its weakest. This is the best time to make a move." With that said, he disappeared.
