The losses were huge. Just maintaining the existence of these eyes and ears required an astronomical amount of financial support every year.
The key was that the losses could not be measured in terms of money. The development of each member was carefully selected, with time and energy spent. They were not developed blindly. If they randomly created someone who could be seen through, everyone would have to avoid them. Would they still be able to play their role as spies?
This was something that the Nine Sages had gradually developed over hundreds of years. It was not something that could be changed at will.
The most fatal thing was that losing control of all the forces in the world meant that they had lost the ability to restrain all the forces in the world. Especially at this time, when people were plotting against them.
Du Wuxu asked, "What is Yuan Se doing?"
It was unbelievable that the Dayuan Holy Land was doing this. They could not see how Yuan Se would benefit from this.
The Misty Pavilion was controlled by all the forces in turn. It was believed that no one would do anything that would harm their own interests.
Granny Xue chuckled. "Yuan Se suddenly losing contact is already strange. Now it seems that Yuan Se has become the second Lu Wushuang. Something must have happened. Otherwise, he would not have destroyed his own foundation."
Everyone stared at Luo Qiu.
Lan Daolin said in a low voice, "Luo Qiu, tell us the truth. What did you do to Yuan Se?"
Luo Qiu stared at him coldly. "I told you, I did not do anything to him. I did not even hurt a single hair of his."
Everyone was skeptical of this. Logically, it was unlikely that he had done anything to Yuan Se. Otherwise, he would not have waited until now. However, Yuan Se had indeed disappeared after fighting with Luo Qiu. According to the intelligence, Yuan Se had disappeared after chasing after Luo Qiu.
Whether it was true or not, if Luo Qiu refused to admit it, no one could do anything to him. After all, no one could produce any evidence.
Luo Qiu looked at the crowd again. "I think you all should stop staring at me. What is the most important thing now? Can't you all tell me?"
He indeed did not want everyone to keep staring at him. Because of Yuan Se, he had already hidden his daughter, Luo Fangfei.
He had to hide her. Otherwise, these people would definitely try to pry open Luo Fangfei's mouth and try to find out why Yuan Se had captured her.
Moreover, he had such a good excuse now.
Everyone's eyes met. That was true. Things had already come to this. Yuan Se had already destroyed his own foundation. There was no point in pursuing what had happened to Yuan Se. The matter at hand was indeed the most important!
Lan Daolin said, "According to the information we've gathered from the various sects, they believe that it's the remnant forces that chased after Zhangsun Mi and the others. With the current situation, we need to calm the people's hearts, so we might as well go with the flow."
Wu Chang said coldly, "Pushing the boat with the current? How could he hide it? The intention of the person who did this is very obvious, and he will soon reveal this matter. "
Lan Daolin: "Then what do you think we should do? Whether it works or not, we have to try. Are we just going to sit back and watch? "
Right at this moment, Black Stone walked in quickly and went straight to Wu Chang to report, "Holy Venerable, I've received news that there are rumors spreading outside because …" Speaking up to this point, he seemed to be a little embarrassed as he looked around at everyone.
Wu Chang: "If you can't say it, then don't say it. If you can say it, then don't hold back."
"Yes!" Black Stone cupped his hands and accepted the order. After letting go, he rearranged his words, "I've received news that there are rumors spreading outside. Because of the internal strife of the Six Sages, Yuan Se, who was defeated, became angry out of humiliation. He actually used the opportunity of his disciple taking control of the Misty Pavilion to order Huo Kong to expose the Misty Pavilion's hidden eyes and ears among the major forces, causing the Misty Pavilion's eyes and ears all over the world to be wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Lan Daolin said decisively, "Immediately order the various forces to announce that this is just a rumor, and face it squarely!"
Black Stone hesitated for a moment. "Huo Kong publicly showed himself in Star picking City, proving that the rumor is true. It has already caused a huge uproar, and I reckon that it won't be long before the entire world knows about it."
"…" Everyone was speechless. Some instantly clenched their fists, while others had murderous expressions.
Du Wuxu: "One is helping the Holy Rakshasa, and the other is destroying the Misty Pavilion. It seems that Yuan Se is really in cahoots with Lv Wushuang."
Wu Chang tilted his head and gestured, and Black Stone cupped his hands and left.
The main hall fell into silence. Everyone knew that they were in big trouble this time.
Wu Chang said coldly, "It's out of control!"
Everyone understood what he meant. All the forces in the world were out of control.
There were many things that the Misty Pavilion's power could not do. They needed to mobilize all the forces in the world to have an effect. Not to mention other things, it was obvious that someone was going against the Five Sages, and it was already a life-and-death battle. Without the monitoring of all the clans and sects, it was impossible to use the forces of all the sects to hunt down the evildoers.
Some things could be imagined. If you gave the order, all the sects would naturally follow it on the surface, and not dare to disobey. But what about behind the scenes?
Even if they discovered something, the various forces would not report it. Who would want to be monitored by the Misty Pavilion? They would only sit back and watch, and pretend that they knew nothing.
Their goal was very simple. They hoped that someone would continue to fight with the Five Sages, or at least not offend either side.
Du Wuxu suddenly said, "Those who dare to disobey will be killed. I want to see who is not afraid of death!"
If it were an outsider, they might not be able to understand the meaning of this abrupt statement, but those present understood it immediately.
Granny Xue snorted coldly. "If there is no one behind the scenes causing trouble, perhaps we can kill the chicken to warn the monkey. But if there is someone with a clear goal causing trouble, many sects will send questions. How can we kill them? Can we kill them all? Do they want to eradicate all the sects in the world? If we really do that, the various forces will have no choice but to fight us to the death. How many can the five of us catch up and kill? Once we appear, they will have to run. Relying on these people? Do we have as many people as they do? Once the forces in the world openly oppose us, their eyes and ears will be everywhere. Our people will have nowhere to hide, and it will be unknown who will be killed! "
Finally, he reminded again, "Don't forget, the people behind the scenes will not give up!"
Luo Qiu said indifferently, "Using force is not a solution. We must think of another plan!"
Through this incident, they basically realized the power of all the forces in the world being stimulated. Nearly twenty thousand eyes and ears spread all over the world. It was not something that could be wiped out easily by outsiders. But once the forces in the world took action, all these eyes and ears were wiped out in an instant.
The information revealed behind this was enough to alert everyone present. Once these people united, they would be able to sweep away all the forces in the world.
In the past, they did not care about these sects in the cultivation world at all, but now they had a feeling of holding back for fear of harming the innocent.
Wu Chang suddenly said, "Without destruction, there can be no construction. Change the world and rebuild the order!"
Everyone looked at him, and Granny Snow asked with a smile, "Little devil, do you have any brilliant ideas?"
Wu Chang said, "During the time I was in Qi State, I came into contact with the war between the three states. Jin State's military is at its peak, and Qi State and Qin State can't stop it anymore. It is just a matter of time before Jin State completely annexes the three western states."
He glanced at everyone coldly, "Jin State, which controls the three western states, has the power to annex the world.
"Control the Cloud Equipment Sect!"
"Controlling the Cloud Equipment Sect means controlling Jin State."
"Then help Jin State to annex the world!"
"The old witch is right. Facing all the sects in the world, using force is not a wise move. Then let the war continue to expand, and let Jin State sweep them one by one. "
"Since the sects in the world are disobedient, and since the person behind the scenes intends to push the forces of the sects in the world to fight against us, we might as well start from a broader perspective."
"At this time, it is indeed not a good time to force the sects to do something desperate. Not only can we not force them, but we also have to stabilize them. We might as well put this matter aside for the time being."
"As long as we don't touch them, no matter how the person behind the scenes instigates them, no sect will dare to jump out and openly go against us."
At this point, everyone understood what he meant. There was no need to go against the forces of the world. Let Jin State annex Qi State and Wei State one by one, using the expansion of Jin State's power to destroy and discipline the sects one by one, and then restrain them with interests. They could follow the pace of annexation and reorganize one by one.
This was also a good way to greatly weaken the power of the various sects. Once the plan was revealed, it might also force out the person behind the scenes who resisted the expansion of Jin State.
"Without destruction, there can be no construction. Change the world and rebuild the order. Little devil, this is a good idea!" Granny Snow chuckled and nodded in agreement.
The rest were either thinking or nodding silently.
…
In the study, Shao Pingbo held the report in his hand, pacing back and forth. After reading it several times, he finally stopped, looked up, and shook his head in disbelief. "The eyes and ears of the Misty Pavilion all over the world were eliminated. They were really eliminated. They were all eliminated in an instant. This is unbelievable!"
Shao Sansheng was next to him. "Young Master, the news has been confirmed repeatedly. It should not be wrong. Huo Kong personally showed up to prove it. Previously, the sects have indeed eliminated a large number of the Misty Pavilion's eyes and ears, including the Cloud Equipment Sect."
When he heard the news, he could not believe it and asked him to confirm it again. Now, the result of the confirmation was presented to him.
Shao Pingbo was shocked. He shook his head and said, "This Jia Wuchi's methods are indeed miraculous. This kind of person is too scary. He did so many things in such a short period of time, each more shocking than the last. I can't imagine how he did it. "
Shao Sansheng was stunned. "Young Master, do you mean that this was done by Jia Wuchi?"
Shao Pingbo tilted his head and looked at him with certainty. "After a series of events, who else could it be but him? Do you think you can find anyone who dares to interfere in this matter? The Primary Color would not destroy its own foundation for no reason. It must have been done by someone behind the scenes. "
When he finished, he looked up to the sky and sighed. "The Nine Saints would never have thought that the Misty Pavilion had pulled out a person's tongue and brought themselves so much trouble. Without the eyes and ears of the world, the Misty Pavilion is like a tiger without claws and teeth. Old Shao, the situation has changed. It has been reversed. At least Jia Wuchi has equalized his strength with his opponent. Now, the Five Saints can no longer restrict him. He has more space to fight back! "
