"Wait!"
You Xingchen suddenly stood up. "Old Zuo, this order … it's better not to give it out so easily! It's too cruel … Humans are not like the Umno Alliance, the Dao League … The Umno Alliance and the Dao League don't care about blood ties at all. But we, the human race of Astral Souls, pay special attention to this! "
"Once this order is given, countless children will fall in a pool of blood!"
"At that time, the entire continent of Astral Souls will be angry and resentful. The families and parents of countless children who will die will not care about the big picture. Old Zuo, this will be infamy for eternity. "
Zuo Changlu turned his head and said, "If we don't bear this infamy, then are we going to prepare for the whole human race to become food for the demons? Or … let the Umno Alliance come in and unify the continent? Humans become slaves of the Umno Alliance? And then die tragically in the battle with the Demon Alliance? "
"What if we continue to fight as we did in the past and stop at nothing but resistance? Even if we can defend against the Umno Alliance, when the Demon Alliance returns … can we prevent the extinction of the whole race? "
Zuo Zhanglu took a deep breath and said, "I'm a parent now, and I understand this feeling. Our children always hope that they can grow up safely, but the current situation won't give them that chance!"
"They will only have a way to survive if they start fighting!"
"Now, we can only let them walk down the path of cruelty. From a slightly cruel path to an infinitely cruel path. Only by walking out … can they ensure their future survival."
"I also want this gentle situation to continue for a long time. I also want this world to be free of cruelty forever. But, is that possible? "
You Xingchen's face was bitter. "But once this decision is made, the person who gives this order will be condemned and reviled by the whole world! Even if we win in the end … it will still be hard to reverse. History has never denied merits or mistakes because of victory. "
"Even if your order, in the eyes of the higher-ups, is the most correct way to deal with the current situation, but … not all of the humans on this continent are the higher-ups. The majority of the people who don't understand the situation are the ones who do."
"They will only consider the problem from their own standpoint, saying that this is unfair, that this is too cruel, that this policy is too inhumane … After all, for many parents, their children are their everything. We completely understand your feelings … Old Zuo, you have to think twice. "
Zuo Changlu said lightly, "That's why you and I can't sign it together."
You Xingchen was stunned.
"I'll sign this order."
Zuo Changlu said indifferently, "In the future, if we win one day, or if we reach a temporary peace with the Demon Alliance where we don't interfere with each other's business … then I'll leave it to you."
"This torrential sea of fury, this eternal infamy …"
Zuo Changlu looked at You Xingchen calmly. "I'll take responsibility."
You Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly flew into a rage. "Are you saying that I can't take responsibility?!"
Zuo Changlu snorted. "It's not a question of whether you can take responsibility or not, but between the two of us, one of us has to sign this order and take responsibility for the infamy, while the other has to take responsibility for setting things right. One is the good cop, the other is the bad cop."
"This is necessary."
"If we lose in the future, and both of us die in battle … then it doesn't matter, and we'll let the future generations judge. But if we win … then someone has to clean up this mess. "
Zuo Changlu said gently, "Old You, do you understand?"
You Xingchen said firmly, "If that's the case, then I'll take responsibility for this infamy. You're the strongest among us humans, the strongest pillar. It's not appropriate for you to bear this infamy. "
"Unfortunately, your character doesn't fit!"
Zuo Changlu narrowed his eyes. "I've always been the One Meter Higher, and I do whatever I want. This has to be done by me, don't argue with me."
Suddenly, he pulled a long face. "Sit down! Even if you and I want to argue, we should do it when there's no one around. Now, in front of the Umno Alliance and the Dao League, do you want to make a fool of yourself? "
You Xingchen gasped for breath, and stared at Zuo Changlu's coffin for a long time. Finally, he said dejectedly, "Okay!"
Then, You Xingchen stood up straight, and solemnly saluted Zuo Changlu.
You Xingchen knew that he was destined to not be able to take responsibility for this.
Zuo Changlu said it nicely, that they would fight when there was no one around, but that was impossible. After all, in front of Flood, Thunder Dao, and the others, Zuo Changlu had already said it, and made his attitude clear.
If they changed their minds after the meeting, and You Xingchen took responsibility for this infamy and issued this order, not to mention others, even Zuo Changlu himself couldn't afford to lose face!
So now, it was already decided.
Great Flood Shaman sat opposite, looking at Zuo Zhanglu's eyes, full of admiration.
She inexplicably felt a little better in her heart. Hmph, this guy surnamed Zuo is quite a character. That time when I was tricked by him, it didn't seem to be a big deal. Anyway, I still have an eldest son …
"Our Dao League …" Thunder Dao's face was full of struggle.
The Dao League, the Astral Souls, and the Umno Alliance were fundamentally different!
Over the years, the Umno Alliance and the Astral Souls had been fighting to the death, and it was extremely tragic.
On the other hand, the Dao League's mainland, because it was located behind the Astral Souls, was much more peaceful and peaceful. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was a paradise.
The children of the high martial arts schools under the Dao League's jurisdiction basically roamed the world and increased their experience. Although they were known to roam the world, there were very few who encountered life-threatening situations.
Unless it was a feud between sects, clans, or a melodramatic plot like stealing someone else's girlfriend or having his girlfriend stolen …
Otherwise, there were basically no deaths.
The entire mainland was full of peace, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
People lived blissfully, and there were often six or eight generations living under the same roof …
Once such an order was issued, the panic it would cause would only be greater than the current situation with the Astral Souls!
Even the social system would collapse because of this order!
"Our Dao League can only … can only … take it step by step and take it slow. We can't be impatient." Thunder Dao sighed softly.
"Hahaha …" The Flood Witch sneered.
"Haha …" Zuo Changlu sneered as well.
However, neither of them said anything unpleasant.
After all, everyone had their own choices. It's up to you if you choose to live a peaceful life for a few more years.
Anyway, once the defense line at Sun Moon Pass is broken, the situation that the Dao League will face will definitely be much worse than the current situation with the Astral Souls!
Absolutely, absolutely!
"That's the general direction and basic strategy."
Zuo Changlu smiled faintly. "If it's cruel, then it can only be cruel. If it's not cruel and we don't hurry up and nurture the core forces … the only result we can passively wait for is the extermination of our entire race. There's no other way."
The Flood Witch's eyes showed sincere admiration. "Zuo, you really see things clearly. You're much better than this old bastard … "
The Flood Witch chuckled and said, "When our Umno Alliance came back, I thought that our only opponent was the Dao League … But after fighting for some time, I've completely changed my mind. The Dao League has never been worthy of being our Umno Alliance's opponent."
Taoist Thunder narrowed his eyes. "Old Hong, watch your words."
The Flood Witch said faintly but solemnly, "Even in front of the seven of you, I'll say the same thing. The Dao League has never been worthy of being our Umno Alliance's opponent."
"Only in a pack of wolves can there be a wolf king. In a pack of rabbits or sheep, there will never be a so-called king. "
The Flood Witch laughed. "A pack of rabbits and sheep, are they worthy of being my opponent?"
Taoist Thunder said faintly, "The Dao League's sword is unstoppable. Flood, one day, you'll see that the Dao League's combat power is not inferior to your Umno Alliance's at all. "
After that, he stopped talking.
The Flood Witch snorted.
Who are you trying to scare?
I'll just let you old bastards guard your little plot of land and live your lives.
To be honest, ever since you kicked me when I was down and forced me to push the Astral Souls Continent up as cannon fodder, I've looked down on you.
Perhaps you didn't expect that there would be people like the Sky Sentinel Throne and the Emperor Zhai Xing among the cannon fodder, right?
I wonder if this is another form of nurturing a tiger to invite calamity?!
After so many years, not to mention people like the Sky Sentinel Throne and the Emperor Zhai Xing, and not to mention the Left and Right Heavenly Kings, just how many of the rising stars at the level of the Great Commanders of the Four Directions have appeared in the Dao League?
No, it shouldn't be said that there were a few, but none!
They've already reached this stage, but they still haven't come to their senses and still can't recognize the situation. They still feel that they're full of confidence, that they're arrogant and invincible … That's really strange!
If there wasn't a steady flow of young experts, even if it was a continent, it would only gradually decline!
The so-called glory of a clan has always been supported by geniuses, not mediocre people!
Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman constantly strives to improve himself. How can such a famous saying be just for show?!
The Flood Witch was even more disdainful.
The anger in Taoist Thunder's eyes was faintly discernible.
Zuo Changlu coughed, and his expression became calmer. He said in a low voice, "The general direction has been set. Let's talk about the spatial relic in the Starry Mountains. You should have more than one purpose for coming here this time. What about the relic? "
He cleverly avoided this heavy topic. If he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that Great Witch Flood and Daoist Thunder would have to fight first.
If there wasn't a huge threat like the Demon League behind them, Zuo Changlu would naturally be happy to see it happen, and even add fuel to the fire. But now, he couldn't. He had to maintain the strongest combat power on his side.
"This isn't a relic at all. At least … it's not a relic in the ordinary sense."
The Flood Witch took a deep breath and said, "This is a good place. Old Zuo, although your strength is not bad, you're only a few years old. You probably don't know about the Crown Prince Academy, right?"
"Crown Prince Academy?"
Zuo Changlu really didn't know this term. As The Flood Witch said, Zuo Changlu and Taoist Thunder were the real old monsters. In terms of age, Zuo Changlu and You Xingchen were the younger generation.
Taoist Thunder said, "The so-called Crown Prince Academy is the place where His Majesty the Demon King entrusted the Demon Master Kunpeng to train the crown princes. It's also the place where the crown princes train when they're weak … It's also the real place of life and death!"
