Unexpectedly, Zhong De's butcher knife was waiting here. Zuo Mo understood that if Zhong De decided to give Xi Xuan to Gu Liang Dao, then he would clear the obstacles for Gu Liang Dao.
The ability that Ming Yue Ye displayed caused Kun Lun to believe that if the yao were truly led by her, they would quickly transform into a top power. In the eyes of Kun Lun, the present yao were just a fake power. Their threat wasn't even as great as Mo Cloud Sea. This could be seen from the battalions stationed at the border. The battalions that were stationed at the yao border were not elite.
Zuo Mo did not convince him because Xi Xuan also did not have a chance right now. In comparison, allying with Tian Huan was more beneficial to Xi Xuan. He did not believe that Zhong De could not see this.
"No." Zhong De was still expressionless. "But he will agree."
It was not that Zuo Mo had not thought that Zhong De would find Gu Liang Dao. He had even promoted the contact between the two, but Gu Liang Dao's attitude clearly showed that he had given up on Xi Xuan.
If they could obtain this area, then the material problem Mo Cloud Sea was facing could be solved internally. There were rich mines in this vast area. If they were developed properly, Mo Cloud Sea's power would suddenly increase.
Actually, Kun Lun had obtained the relevant information long ago.
Zuo Mo was shocked, and then he realized!
Zuo Mo didn't believe it, but he looked at Zhong De's expression. He was very confident and seemed to have a way to get Gu Liang Dao to agree.
Zuo Mo threw this problem to one side. For him, the state of the world should be decided by a ruler like Kun Lun. His most pressing problem was to deal with Tian Huan's attacks.
However, the drawbacks of swallowing this piece of fat meat were also very obvious. Once they took over this area, the long border would multiply the pressure on Mo Cloud Sea. One had to know that right now, Mo Cloud Sea was like a giant porcupine without any openings. Anyone who ran into it would bleed.
But after the initial shock, Zuo Mo carefully examined. Zhong De might be crazy, but he was a person with a strong sense of purpose. His words might seem crazy but he definitely had his intentions.
Zhong De did not reply. He suddenly said in a deep voice, "Other than Shi Pei, everyone else, get out."
If Gu Liang Dao decided to take over Xi Xuan, the biggest obstacle would be the traditional factions of Xi Xuan led by the sect leader. When Zhong De had just left the mountain, he had once conducted a great purge of Xi Xuan. At the time, blood had flowed like rivers. Under the butcher's knife, Xi Xuan's traditional factions suffered great losses and had to lower their heads. They had wanted to pledge their loyalty to Zhong De, but Zhong De had ignored them. They had turned to the sect leader of Xi Xuan.
If Bright Moon Night really succeeded …
After Kun Lun realized this, they could not sit still. As the hegemon of the world, Kun Lun always thought of the world as their future territory. The yao under Ming Yue Ye's rule was not in Kun Lun's interest.
Due to this, Xi Xuan's broken defense line became watertight again and the pressure decreased.
Zhong De seemed to know that these words would not move Zuo Mo. His eyes were half-closed as he said coolly, "I plan on handing Xi Xuan to Gu Liang Dao."
The other subordinates in the tent did not make a sound. They all turned around and left in silence. Only a young man beside Zhong De did not move. Zuo Mo knew that this person was the Shi Pei that Zhong De spoke of. It seemed that this person was the second in command of Abyss Jail Battalion.
But Kun Lun had to act.
"Xi Xuan is beyond cure." Zhong De seemed to be narrating something he did not care about. His expression did not change at all. "Even if we have ten more years, we will not be able to save Xi Xuan."
He had to admit that the bait that Zhong De threw out was too tempting! It had to be said that Mo Cloud Sea only had one hundred and thirteen jie right now. The area that Zhong De had drawn out was larger than all of Mo Cloud Sea!
"There is no chance." Zhong De shook his head. "Xi Xuan is rotten to the core. After decades of neglect, there is no cure. The training of young people has been neglected for too long. I have searched all over Xi Xuan, but there is no one that can be used! The difference of decades is not so easy to make up for. If this is a time of peace, and there are no external threats, there might be hope in ten or twenty years. "
The sect leader of Xi Xuan had come out to save them from death.
"I plan on giving this place to you." Zhong De's words were shocking.
Kun Lun decided to give Chief Elder some support.
So that was how it was!
Seeing the other people leave, Zhong De slowly spoke. However, when he spoke, Zuo Mo jumped in fright.
Ming Yue Ye was described as the strongest woman in the history of the yao. Her actions won her countless praises. She was thought of as the hope of the yao 'revival.
※ ※ ※
The power struggle that was occurring among the yao immediately became the topic of conversation in the xiuzhe world. But for a sect like Kun Lun, they saw more than just this.
He hadn't expected that Zhong De still planned on giving Xi Xuan to Gu Liang Dao in this situation!
That yao would become even stronger and pose a great threat to Kun Lun!
Shi Pei was not very young, about twenty seven or twenty eight. He was tall, his brows cold, and his face was covered in criss-crossing scars. It could be seen that his original appearance had been handsome. He expressionlessly stood next to Zhong De like a statue. From beginning to end, he did not move.
"Big Brother Gu agreed?" Zuo Mo suppressed the shock he felt and asked. In his view, Big Brother Gu was very opinionated and would not be easily persuaded.
Zuo Mo was not just shocked, but speechless. Was this guy's head caught in a door? This area took up almost one third of Xi Xuan, and there were many famous important jie.
The higher ups of Kun Lun thought that since the news had come so suddenly, someone must have pushed it in the shadows. But even if they knew someone was behind this, Kun Lun had to respond. Of all the factions, Kun Lun had the most connections with the yao.
"Didn't Tian Huan promise ten years?" Zuo Mo asked curiously. Zhong De's view was not much different than Zuo Mo and the others. The training of young disciples was not something that could be done in one or two years. Without ten or twenty years, there would be no results. Xi Xuan's current state of low talent was caused by the fact that it had not focused on training young disciples in the past few decades.
Zhong De was not surprised to see Zuo Mo. His expression was calm. "I think that you are about to arrive."
This time, Zhong De would probably kill the sect leader of Xi Xuan as well.
This area was not small, but it was bordering Tian Huan's territory. Once Zuo Mo took over these jie, then Xi Xuan would not be threatened by Tian Huan at all. The only thing they had to worry about was the border with Kun Lun. But after a close inspection, Zuo Mo had to sigh at Zhong De's strength. There was a natural defensive jie at the border with Kun Lun. They only needed an elite battalion to guard this jie and they would be able to keep Kun Lun out.
Pushing away the stray thoughts in his mind, Zuo Mo saw something.
Zuo Mo's expression changed.
Yet the information they had received had not been as detailed. At the start, they had thought that this was a normal power struggle, but as more detailed information appeared, they quickly increased their wariness of Ming Yue Ye.
All of their puzzlement was cleared up at this time. When they learned that Zhong De only had three years left to live, Zuo Mo and the others had speculated countless times about who Zhong De would choose as his successor.
They could not sit by and watch this happen!
They disguised themselves, travelled day and night, and finally reached Xi Xuan.
However, the foundation of the yao was too strong. It had always maintained the rule of the Council of Elders. There was almost no internal strife, and the accumulation of thousands of years was astounding. They were not strong enough now because their higher ups lacked ambition. If a person as strong as Ming Yue Ye appeared in power, then the power that they could explode with would be terrifying.
Soon, all kinds of information about the yao spread through the xiuzhe world.
At that time, the threat that Kun Lun had to face immediately increased.
Such a long border, and it was Tian Huan. This meant that they needed to deploy large numbers of battalions to face the threat of Tian Huan at any time!
This was an open scheme.
Unless all of Tian Huan's top experts moved, they definitely could not succeed in assassinating Zhong De from their hands.
This meant that Mo Cloud Sea only needed to maintain a few elite battalions, and did not need a large number of normal battalions.
Was Zhong De so disappointed in the sect leader of Xi Xuan?
The most likely was the present sect leader of Xi Xuan. The present sect leader of Xi Xuan wasn't just the legitimate leader in name, he had also been the one who had personally invited Zhong De to come out of seclusion. If Zhong De died, if there were no accidents, he would undoubtedly regain power.
Zhong De closed his eyes and did not speak.
Xi Xuan had lost a large burden, and the area that they could defend had shrunk greatly. Resources could be gathered more. If Gu Liang Dao really took over, Zuo Mo believed that Kun Lun would not be able to break through Gu Liang Dao's defenses.
A cold smile appeared on Zhong De's scarred face. "Will Tian Huan really want Xi Xuan to grow stronger? In their eyes, Xi Xuan is just cannon fodder. They will think of ways to have Xi Xuan be the vanguard, and use up Kun Lun's power. Then they will benefit. Right now, Tian Huan is much stronger than Xi Xuan. Once you are killed, Tian Huan will become even stronger. Under Tian Huan's control, Xi Xuan will not have a chance to fight back. "
Shi Pei expressionlessly opened the Xi Xuan jie map. On the jie map, a red line divided Xi Xuan into two.
Zuo Mo was shocked but then recovered. "Mister Zhong, why did you reject Tian Huan?"
Kun Lun's small elite forces started to infiltrate the yao. Moreover, the secret mission sent to contact the Great Elder had also quietly set off.
Zuo Mo did not understand why Zhong De would choose Gu Liang Dao. He could only guess. What he needed to consider now was what would happen if Xi Xuan was given to Gu Liang Dao.
The size of their territory had become a bottleneck that severely restricted Mo Cloud Sea's growth.
Zuo Mo hadn't thought that Zhong De would have such a low opinion of Xi Xuan. He was puzzled. "Xi Xuan is full of problems, but with their foundation, as long as there is time, they may have a chance."
Zuo Mo couldn't help but examine Shi Pei.
Kun Lun was happy to see the yao that were in turmoil and fighting amongst themselves.
On the way, Zuo Mo sent a message to Zhong De. Seeing Zhong De with his own eyes, Zuo Mo released a breath. If he arrived before the other, then the other would not have a chance.
Standing in front of the jie map, Zuo Mo was motionless as he sank into deep thought.
"Open the jie map," Zhong De suddenly said to Shi Pei.
But why did Zhong De say so much?
Zhong De's charisma was too terrifying!
In these seven years, Mo Cloud Sea had been secretly developing middle management to deal with their future expansion. Due to this, there was no problem in staffing. Mo Cloud Sea had the ability to take over these jie in a short amount of time.
