"My Lord, as of now, the Star Luo Temple has gathered eleven half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods. They have all been placed in the Jade Mountain where the Star Luo Temple is located. There is no restriction on their freedom, but if you want to leave, you must report to them. There are no clear orders, we are just on standby.
Also, the Lord Xi Hao and the Fourth Lord Bu Ze can be seen coming and going, but not the Second Lord Xiu Hong and the Third Lord Fu Feng. "
"On standby …" After receiving the report from Gui Qianshan, Ling Dong's expression immediately became unusually serious. He didn't even realize that the jade talisman in his hand had already turned into powder and was blown away by the wind.
For safety reasons, Gui Qianshan's report didn't mention anything about himself. Also, his report was personally selected by Ling Dong and sent by Cheng Daniu to receive the report.
The whereabouts of the Star Luo Temple's Four Lords were not surprising. The Third Lord Fu Feng should be the one who activated the fake Zhou Tian Shenjian. According to the Mountain God Yin Kang, if he didn't have any treasures to protect his life, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.
As for the Second Lord Xiu Hong, although he was severely injured by the Vermillion Bird, it wasn't fatal. He should be in seclusion to heal. However, what Ling Dong paid attention to the most was that the Star Luo Temple had gathered eleven half-step Zhou Tian Gods on standby.
This report made Ling Dong feel an extreme sense of danger.
Because the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods that Ling Dong had subdued these days had arrived one after another. They also chose a place to live and cultivate in front of the Ling family castle. Ling Dong also showed some genuine sincerity and arranged for all of them to enter the Myriad Stars House's Myriad Stars Palace to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. At least they were reassured.
However, Ling Dong was worried that the Star Luo Temple would lead these half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods to attack the families of the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods that were following him.
One was fine, but if two or three were killed, then his people would be in chaos.
After pondering for a long time, Ling Dong and Mountain God Yin Kang began to discuss.
"Old Ghost, do you think that Xi Hao will take the risk and attack the sects and families of the half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods who are loyal to me?" Ling Dong asked.
"Probably not!" Mountain God Yin Kang pondered for a moment before replying.
"Why?"
"It's very obvious. At your level of cultivation, justice doesn't have much of an effect on you. If he dares to attack the sects and families of your half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, then your side can also return an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a blood for blood, an eye for an eye.
In less than two or three times, the half-step Zhou Tian gods on their side would be the first to disobey! Therefore, they wouldn't do something that doesn't benefit them at all! "Mountain God Yin Kang said.
"Then why did they gather so many half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods to be on standby?" Ling Dong asked in confusion.
Mountain God Yin Kang shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know! They should be waiting for an opportunity, right? "
"Waiting? They're also waiting. Could it be that they have strong reinforcements? "Ling Dong's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Perhaps, there are too many possibilities! However, you have to pay attention to one thing. The Star Luo Divine Palace is a big tree with deep roots. Perhaps they can gather even more half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods. Perhaps they will soon surpass us. You have to hurry. If they invite a few more strong reinforcements, then it will be troublesome. "Mountain God Yin Kang said worriedly.
Ling Dong silently nodded, but his face was full of helplessness. "Old Ghost, what do you think we should do about those half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who came to join us?"
Zhangsun Tong's actions that day allowed Ling Dong to easily eavesdrop on their conversation. Now, all of this had become the source of Ling Dong's worries.
In the past few days, there had been a succession of half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who came to see Ling Dong. Without exception, they all wanted to ask Ling Dong for the God Sealing Stone.
However, what made Ling Dong the most depressed was that these people, without exception, all agreed that Ling Dong could make a Divine Soul Oath first. However, the Soul Slaying Nail absolutely disagreed.
One or two was fine, but three or four made Ling Dong realize that something was wrong.
After some investigation, Ling Dong found out that this was a trick of the Star Luo Divine Palace. It was the Star Luo Divine Palace who spread the news that his Soul Slaying Nail was extremely powerful and abnormal.
Of course, he could also suspect that it was incited.
This was another attack from the Star Luo Divine Palace aimed at Ling Dong's vital point!
This situation caused Ling Dong a great deal of confusion. If he accepted them, he was worried that some of them were spies sent by the Star Luo Divine Palace. If there were spies in Ling Dong's team, it would be very troublesome.
However, if he did not accept them, then the situation was very straightforward. The half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who came to seek refuge one after another had only two choices in this turbulent time for the God Sealing Stone.
One was to seek refuge with Ling Dong, who had the God Sealing Stone in his hands, in order to obtain the God Sealing Stone and obtain the slim chance of breaking through to the Zhou Tian Shen Realm.
What if Ling Dong rejected them?
Then they could only seek refuge with the Star Luo Divine Palace, which opposed Ling Dong. Although the Star Luo Divine Palace's chances of obtaining the God Sealing Stone were not as good as Ling Dong's, there was still some chance.
Which of the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who could cultivate to this level wasn't a genius? Who would choose the third path, which was the most insignificant one, to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?
That was a stupid path that would eventually be abandoned by both sides and would never be able to obtain the God Sealing Stone.
Then, as long as Ling Dong rejected them, these half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who came to seek refuge would seek refuge with the Star Luo Divine Palace. Especially since the Star Luo Divine Palace already had 11 half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods.
This was a decline and a gain.
Back then, there were more than 20 half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods in the Star Dou Mountain Range, and one of them had unfortunately died in battle. However, the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who went to the Star Dou Mountain Range were not all the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods in the Long An Border.
There were many existences like Bai Bai Xuan.
Ling Dong had consulted Bai Bai Xuan, Wu Zhengyang, Bu Zi Wen and others. The number of half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods in the Long An Border should be at least 40.
Now that the Long An Border was surging like a storm, those half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods moved as soon as they heard the news. If Ling Dong rejected these half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who came to seek refuge one after another like how he rejected Zhangsun Tong, he might have to face nearly 30 half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods from the Star Luo Divine Palace and 12 or 13 half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods under Ling Dong.
With such a big gap, the result was almost self-evident.
Therefore, whether to accept these half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods or not had become a big problem at the moment.
If he accepted them, there would be traitors! But if he didn't accept them, they would become the enemy's help!
It was a dilemma!
It wasn't until this time that Ling Dong revealed how difficult it was to deal with Head Palace Master Xi Hao.
He only sent Zhangsun Tong to stir up the situation and spread some news, and it was already so difficult for him. At this time, Ling Dong even suspected that those guys purposely let Ling Dong hear those words.
True and false, false and true. Ling Dong was already somewhat impressed by Xi Hao. His methods were really impressive.
"If it were up to me, I would kill every single one of them to prevent future troubles!" Mountain God Yin Kang's answer shocked Ling Dong.
"F * ck you, old ghost. If we do as you say, it won't be long before those half-step Heavenly Cycle God Righteous Gods who are still observing the situation run over to the Star Luo Divine Palace," Ling Dong cursed.
Mountain God Yin Kang spread his hands and said, "I'm just saying that we should do as I did before. As long as we have the power to make the other party so strong that they can't resist, no matter what scheme you have, I'll destroy it! I'll kill gods if gods block my path, and break through a hundred schemes with one force! But now … "Mountain God Yin Kang shrunk his neck.
Mountain God Yin Kang's meaning was that Ling Dong didn't have the power to make the other party unable to resist. This plan wouldn't work.
"F * ck, that's as good as not saying anything!" Ling Dong rolled his eyes and started thinking hard again.
"But generally speaking, we can't support the enemy! Actually, you can learn how to manage an army, divide and conquer … "Mountain God Yin Kang reminded Ling Dong softly.
Of course, this was only a rough idea to solve the current problem. As for the specifics, Ling Dong had to fill in the blanks.
Hearing this, Ling Dong was stunned. "Divide and conquer! Divide and conquer! "
The name Mountain God Yin Kang had the effect of enlightening Ling Dong. It instantly made Ling Dong think of many, many things. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he could draw inferences about other things from one example.
After thinking carefully for a while and thinking about it for more than an hour, Ling Dong came up with an extremely vicious contingency plan.
"Old ghost, I know what to do!" After saying that, Ling Dong laughed out loud and went straight to the abode of the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who were waiting for Ling Dong's reply.
"Hmph, Xi Hao, no matter how many spies you put in me, I'll make you suffer a double loss. I hope there are no spies among you. Otherwise, it'll be terrible …"
Inside the Ling family's abode, Ling Dong gathered the three half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who had come one after another over the past few days.
After gathering the three half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, Ling Dong went straight to the point and said, "Elder Gan, Elder Zhuang, Elder Ding, right? I agree to your requests!"
Among the three elders, two of them had participated in the Great Battle of the Star Dou Mountain Range, but one of them was unfamiliar.
Hearing Ling Dong agree, the three half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods were overjoyed. "That's great! Young Master Ling has treated us with sincerity, and we'll repay you with sincerity. Young Master Ling, shall we swear the Spirit Oath now? "the leader, Elder Gan, said joyfully.
"Everyone, listen to me first! I agree to your request of not putting in the Soul Slaying Nail! However, I can't agree to your request of obtaining the God Sealing Stone after swearing the Spirit Oath, "Ling Dong said.
"Why? Does Young Master Ling want to gain something without risking anything? "Hearing this, the joy on the three's faces faded.
"Heh, there are two reasons! First, if you obtain the God Sealing Stone and go into seclusion for a hundred to two hundred years, then even the Spirit Oath won't be able to stop you. At such a crucial time, wouldn't I be drawing water with a sieve? No matter what, I'll have to serve you for a period of time, right? "
"Second, your current comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, including your mental state, hasn't reached the level where you can immediately refine the God Sealing Stone, right? In other words, after obtaining the God Sealing Stone, you can only keep it by your side and won't be able to use it immediately!
Not only won't you be able to use it, but it will also bring you great danger. If the people from the Star Luo Divine Palace find out about this, you'll probably be surrounded and attacked immediately, and your God Sealing Stone will be stolen. "
After saying this, Ling Dong paused for a moment. "These two reasons are sufficient, right?"
Elder Gan, Elder Zhuang, and Lao San looked at each other, then Elder Gan said, "Then when do you plan on giving us the God Sealing Stone? There has to be a deadline, we can't keep dragging it out, right? "
"Of course not!" Ling Dong shook his head. "As long as your comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and mental state reaches perfection, I can give you the God Sealing Stone."
"Hmph, you're just messing with us. The few of us need at least a few decades to comprehend the Heavenly Dao to perfection, and you don't have many God Sealing Stones. After a few decades, you might have already given out all the God Sealing Stones, and there won't be any left for us, right?" Elder Zhuang said unhappily.
Hearing this, Ling Dong smiled mysteriously. "No, I have a few secret techniques that will allow you to comprehend the Heavenly Dao to perfection within five years."
The fisherman finally threw out the bait. Ling Dong's plan was the crux of the matter!
