The moment Liu Yi said that, the smiles on many people's faces froze.
Even those who did not smile started to frown as they looked at Liu Yi seriously. Liu Yi's words caused the atmosphere in the hall to become very tense.
Mo Ce's face was very gloomy as he said in a deep voice, "Alliance Head Liu, are you joking?"
"Does Sect Head Mo think that I'm someone who likes to joke?" Liu Yi looked at Mo Ce before looking at everyone and said calmly, "The answer is very simple. We can either endure or steal. The Mystical Beasts are not stupid. Stealing won't work. Therefore, we can only choose between enduring or stealing. "
"Then why can't we choose to steal?" Mo Ce asked in a deep voice, "With the alliance's strength, as long as we don't meet the Dragons, no single race is our match. We can definitely take action and steal back a portion of the resources. "
"Steal? How? " Liu Yi asked, "The resource territory is an asset that cannot be moved. After stealing it, we have to send people to guard it. The Mystical Beasts will definitely call for reinforcements to take it back. Now that the Dragons are looking for information about the sects, isn't this information delivered to their doorstep? When the time comes and the alliance's information is leaked, not to mention resources, no one will be able to survive. "
"Of course we know that. But what about the ocean?" Mo Ce immediately said, "The ocean is so big and has so many resources. We can definitely head to the ocean to steal. The Mystical Beasts in the ocean are too big. Many races are not connected to each other. Even if we steal the resource territory and the resources that the Mystical Beasts have stored, the Dragons will not be able to find out! "
Everyone nodded. This was what they all thought. It was indeed difficult to move on land, but it was not impossible in the ocean. This was also the reason why Liu Yi came today.
She came to make these people give up on the idea. This plan was indeed feasible, but it would be very disadvantageous for the alliance in the future. However, Liu Yi could not tell them about the war. She could only use other reasons to make these people give up.
"I can only say that everyone underestimates the Dragons' ability to gather information." Liu Yi looked at everyone and said, "Now that the Dragons dominate the continent, they almost dominate the entire Mythical Beast World. Even if the Dragons did not make all the Dragons submit, with the power of the Dragons, any race would have to listen to their orders. This could be seen clearly from the matter of the Sacred Fire Plains. Above the Nine Seas, all public islands like Outré Province were already under the control of the Dragons, and they had to report any changes to the Dragons. The strange beasts also know that we lack resources. How could they not think of attacking the ocean? "
"…"
Hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn.
"Don't forget, as long as it's a territory with a large amount of resources, the occupying race will definitely sell the resources in exchange for other needed resources. In other words, all the large resources in the ocean were controlled by the various public islands. If a race with large resources doesn't come to trade for a long time, it will definitely be assumed that there is a problem. " Liu Yi said, "When the time comes, what happens will be the same as what happens on the mainland. Now, it depends on whether you want your life or resources."
"…"
Everyone looked at each other. Actually, they all knew that there would still be risks in heading to the ocean. However, the voices within the sect were very loud now, and it was very difficult for them to do so.
"Without resources, at most, it will delay your cultivation." Liu Yi said, "Even if you stop cultivating, it's still better than throwing away your life. At this time, everyone needs to be a little more forceful, and control the voices below. I understand that not everyone can be reasoned with. If you can't reason with them, then use force. Now is indeed not a good time to make a move. Lu An and Yao have already broken through, and their growth is just around the corner. We have already endured for so long, and we are humanity's last hope. Could it be that everyone really wants humanity to go extinct? "
"That's all I have to say. If everyone insists on voting, then I can only represent the Ice Fire Union to abstain. I cannot stop everyone, but no matter what, the Ice Fire Union will definitely not participate in this operation. As for what everyone wants to do, the Ice Fire Union will not interfere too much. However, there is something I want to say in advance. No matter what kind of trouble the sect alliance encounters in this operation, my Ice Fire Union will definitely not lend a hand. When the time comes, I ask everyone not to use any words to negotiate with the Ice Fire Union. "
"…"
Everyone listened to Liu Yi's words, and their expressions were very heavy. Liu Yi's meaning was very clear. She would not participate in this operation, but she would not stop everyone from carrying out the operation, and would not be responsible for the results. Indeed, to the sect alliance, if the Ice Fire Union did not use the Celestial Union's strength, the help they could provide was insignificant. Without the Ice Fire Union, everyone could still carry out the operation, but they would be very anxious in their hearts.
The Ice Fire Union's connections among the mystical beasts was definitely not something the sect alliance could compare to. If the Ice Fire Union did not make a move, the other sects would not dare to make a move either.
"Then how do we solve the Ice Fire Union's resource problem?" Mo Ce asked, "Does the Ice Fire Union not lack resources?"
"Lack, of course we lack resources." Liu Yi said honestly, "However, the majority of my Ice Fire Union's members came from the Deep Sea Alliance, and a small portion came from the secluded people of the continent. Compared to the sect's resources, these people have been living a hard life, and never had many resources. So now that our resources have suddenly decreased, they do not care much. "
When these words came out, all the sect masters and sect masters frowned. The reason was simple. It was easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, but hard to go from being extravagant to being frugal. People in the sect had always enjoyed a high amount of resources. Once the resources decreased, there would be a lot of noise and chaos. Many people didn't care about the real situation. Simply speaking, they could enjoy the good things together, but they couldn't bear the difficulties together with the sect.
In fact, since the Eight Ancient Continents had fallen, and the sects had hidden underground for one and a half years, the sect masters and sect masters of the other sects had also reflected. For many years, they had paid too much attention to the improvement of the sect's power, but they had neglected the guidance of their thoughts. It seemed that they needed to take advantage of the critical moment to improve this aspect.
However, thinking was just thinking. They still needed to solve the real problem. After Liu Yi had finished her point of view, the other sect masters and sect masters also started to discuss. They had said what they needed to say many times, so the discussion ended quickly. Next, they had to raise their hands to vote.
"Those who agree with moving to the sea, raise your hands," said Huang Ding.
As soon as he finished, some people raised their hands. Moreover, there was more than one person. Even the sect masters and sect masters had to bear the pressure of the vice sect masters and vice sect masters. Everyone's thoughts were different, and everyone's concerns were different. In just a few breaths, a total of ten people had raised their hands.
Since the number of people could reach this level, and they didn't come from just one camp, it meant that the power of the camp was getting weaker and weaker. It even seemed to exist in name only. When the Hachiko Clan had retired, the big sects had formed the camp to compete for the world. Today, the world was lost, so they had to raise their hands to vote. Therefore, the camp didn't need to exist anymore. They didn't need to consider the other sects like before. They could choose according to their own needs.
"If the Ice and Fire Union doesn't want to participate, it's like twenty-seven sects voting," said Huang Ding. "As long as more than half of the people raise their hands, it means the decision is passed."
Half, fourteen people.
Everybody shivered inwardly. Only four more people were needed to pass.
In fact, everybody wanted to take action. In their eyes, moving to the sea wasn't too dangerous. Even if they didn't want to occupy the sea resources, they could just move to another place after robbing it. At least, they could give the people in the sect something to do. They could shift the conflicts away. Thus, even if they didn't get enough resources, the conflicts and criticisms in the sect would be reduced.
Thus … two more people raised their hands.
Twelve people, two more people were needed.
Everybody was hesitant. They didn't know whether they should raise their hands or not. Many people looked at Wang Yangcheng, Huang Ding, and Mo Ce. Mo Ce had already raised his hand. In fact, from his words just now, it was clear that there were many internal conflicts. Huang Ding was obviously hesitating, but Wang Yangcheng didn't have any intention of raising his hand. Nobody was surprised by this. The Yin Yang Divine Sect had always been strict. Once someone violated the sect rules, they would be severely punished. Moreover, there were many punishments in the Yin Yang Divine Sect's rules, which were many times more severe than the other sects. Anyone with a problem in their thinking would be expelled by the Yin Yang Divine Sect. The Yin Yang Divine Sect didn't lack any experts or geniuses.
After a few breaths, Huang Ding raised his hand.
After Huang Ding raised his hand, everybody was shocked. Although there was only one person left, the others didn't feel any pressure when even Huang Ding raised his hand. Immediately, three more people raised their hands almost at the same time.
Sixteen people, more than half!
It didn't matter if the others raised their hands or not. They had to act.
When Liu Yi saw this, her beautiful eyes were full of seriousness.
