Chapter 1958 Claim
According to past practice, the twelve major forces will not fail to send people to undertake any high-risk mission.
But they only sent a small number of people, and the bulk of the money went to small and medium-sized forces.
It is not true to say that they were afraid of fighting. When they really reached the main battlefield, the main force fighting was still the Twelve Great Forces!
The twelve major forces believe that they are the main force and the best steel should be used on the blade.
It must be acknowledged that these large forces have rich experience in team battles and their tacit understanding in coordinating with each other is far superior to that of small and medium-sized forces.
Moreover, they have strong on-site control capabilities for large-scale battles.
At the same time, they believe that the credibility of small and medium-sized forces on large battlefields is questionable.
If something goes wrong, it could easily lead to a disastrous defeat.
This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice before. Once small and medium-sized forces find that a situation is impossible to succeed, they are likely to run away.
But if it is a big force, you have to bear it even if you can't, and the people around you are either comrades-in-arms or partners.
It is better to die in battle than to run away. Otherwise, even if you can escape, you will face a situation worse than death in the future.
However, this is the conclusion of the major forces, and small and medium-sized forces do not think so.
The subordinates and disciples of the big forces have also betrayed the small and medium-sized forces in battle. The big brother should not laugh at the second brother.
However, these are all off-topic. Anyway, the current rules are like this, and the 12th National Congress is the one that has the final say.
It was a large number for a small or medium-sized force to produce five True Immortals, but no one stood up to refute it.
Many eyes glanced at the two lonely buildings intentionally or unintentionally.
Now Jing Yuexin has arrived at Qu Jianlei's place, and the two are drinking tea in the small attic on the third floor.
The height of the attic is enough to see what is happening in the Alliance Valley, but if outsiders want to see them, they can only see a faint white mist.
Two figures can be vaguely seen in the white mist, but they are just outlines at best.
Many people hoped that the two true immortals from Hongye Ridge would come forward to question them, but they did not move at all.
Although Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin were unruly, they knew that the fact that the twelve families could make the matter public meant that they had reached a consensus.
Hongyeling has quasi-allies among the twelve families, and more than one, but even the real allies have their own interests.
They had no intention of blaming the Zhu family or Cuiping Mountain. It was obvious that even if these two families strongly opposed it, they would not be able to reverse the trend.
If the two of them jumped out at this moment, they would become enemies with the entire Twelve Families.
Not to mention that they might not be able to defeat the twelve families combined. Even if they could be evenly matched, the entire Dongsheng would be beaten to pieces.
If such a battle occurs, how can Dongsheng still resist foreign invasion?
Not to mention that their plans to integrate into the local community would be completely ruined.
So the two of them were not in a hurry and just drank their tea slowly and leisurely.
The Alliance Valley was silent for a while, and then True Immortal Qi Ya spoke coldly, "The Loose Cultivator Alliance is only responsible for two True Immortals..."
The six True Immortals who were independent cultivators also formed an alliance, but it was purely a showpiece and was even looser than the cultivators' alliance.
The only function is that when encountering similar things, the six major parties can advance and retreat together.
So what if there are twelve families? My Loose Cultivators Alliance is no worse than any of you!
"Fairy Ya, what you said is inappropriate," Ke Liang said, "There are only five True Immortals left among the scattered cultivators. Why should you take on two True Immortal quotas?"
Qi Ya Zhenxian said calmly, "One of them is Xiaoyao, and we'll draw lots for the remaining one!"
"As for whether Xiaoyao can be found, that depends on the ability of the alliance. Anyway, the Loose Cultivator Alliance has sent two people."
The twelve families produce four true immortals, which is one in three draws. The six major families produce two true immortals, which is also one in three draws. This is basically satisfactory.
"I support Fairy Ya's proposal," Thousand Hands Immortal spoke first.
He didn't want to plot against Hongyeling, but Xiaoyao was indeed missing. As for whether the alliance could find him, it was none of his business!
Upon hearing this, the other three True Immortals also expressed their support. Drawing one out of five is always better than drawing two out of six, not to mention drawing two out of five.
Then the rotating deacon of the Cultivator Alliance, Yuan Yi Zhenxian of the Liangyi Sect, looked at the two lonely seats.
"Fellow Daoist from Hongye Ridge, you should also show some appreciation, right?"
"No comment," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "We were invited by Qingyang Sect to come and listen."
He would not take the initiative to provoke others, but if others asked him questions by name, he would not avoid them.
"Daoyou, you are wrong," a clear voice rang out from the Qingyang Sect's headquarters.
The voice came from a place that was also filled with white mist, but there was no doubt that the Kun Xiu who dared to say so must be a Nascent Soul.
"Qingyang Sect invites you to come to attend the meeting, not to sit in... I have finished what I want to say."
This is the Qingyang Sect’s sense of propriety. They defend what needs to be defended and don’t say a single extra word.
But Qu Jianlei was even more outrageous. He simply answered with silence - I don't care what you say, I'm just here to listen.
Yuan Yi Zhenxian's face is a little chubby, but this does not undermine his dignity. Instead, he has the aura of a superior.
However, he did not act in a bossy manner, but simply said, "You are also a member of Dongsheng. At this critical moment of life and death..."
"I do have a lot of Nascent Souls in Hongye Ridge," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "more than any of your twelve families."
"But we don't even have a deacon position, no status, and you expect us to fight for our lives?"
In front of tens of thousands of cultivators present, he blatantly tore off his face - please give me a reason to fight to the death!
Although this statement is extremely strong, it is not without reason. Dongsheng is not a society that emphasizes moral kidnapping.
And just as he expected, after he finished speaking, no one jumped out to refute him.
Everyone can hear that Hongyeling is determined to go all out. Anyone who dares to exert pressure will inevitably face a targeted and strong counterattack.
All the twelve families found these words offensive, and some were almost about to jump up and down in opposition.
However, this was almost... no one jumped up and down.
Hongyeling had obviously offended the Twelve Families, so who was so stupid as to be the first to jump out and attract anger?
If this was a small force launching an attack, at least half of the twelve families would jump out and even fight to set things right.
But as for Hongye Ridge, forget it.
Regardless of the number of true immortals, at least the Zeng family and the Seven Stars Sect joined forces to attack the enemy, but both returned in disgrace.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Haihe Zhenxian from Zhongzhou spoke up, "This is a potential danger, but it's just a guess."
"The key is that if the enemy situation is unclear, Zhongzhou will not have sufficient reasons to support us."
"I am not involved in your Dongsheng affairs. I am just suggesting that...when facing a potential crisis, everyone should be united in the face of the outside world."
His words seemed to make sense, but secretly he was still accusing Hongyeling of ignoring the overall situation.
But this is not surprising. Many people believe that the Immortal Bowen who suffered a loss in Hongye Ridge is a cultivator from Zhongzhou.
Haihe Zhenxian obviously thought so too, so it was normal for him to be a little bit shady towards Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei could also understand what this guy meant, so he said, "If we stand united against the outside world, there will be no problem..."
He didn't say much, so as for what others can hear, they can figure it out for themselves.
He was so tough against the Twelve Families that the other forces with Nascent Soul stage couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Everyone hopes that the newly emerged force of Hongyeling can reduce the risks that their ancestors have to take.
Even the children of the Ji family are no exception.
However, Hongyeling did not follow the beaten path, and what was even more hateful was that among the twelve forces, no one dared to be the first to stand up and suppress it.
If someone dares to stand out, I believe there will definitely be people who will follow, but unfortunately, there really are no such people!
If none of the twelve top forces show up, then who would be so stupid as to stand up at this moment?
——You don’t even value your own position, so how can you expect other small and medium-sized forces to take advantage of you?
Some small forces are secretly wondering whether they should make friends with Hongyeling in the future.
Finally, Immortal Ke Liang saw the situation and spoke up, "Then... let's just stick to the old ways. We still need to stand united against the outside world."
Even though he was determined to find the Immortal Xiaoyao at the beginning, he was not heading for Hongye Ridge, but had other intentions.
However, it is precisely because of his previous behavior that what he said now seems to be fair.
——Just pretend that Hongye Ridge no longer exists and everyone should continue doing what they are supposed to do.
Some people must be feeling indignant... With such a powerful force appearing, why can't my ancestor reduce the risk?
However, no one came forward to say anything about Hongyeling.
This matter is a bit weird, but it is also exactly what Qu Jianlei thought of Dongsheng at the beginning - the cultivators here seem to lack some bloodiness.
In fact, it is still the same reason: when the immortal cultivators encounter aliens, they will just risk their lives, but it is a small matter... it is really not worth it.
Going on an adventure into the void doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll die, but if you fall out with Red Leaf Ridge, you’ll face imminent disaster.
Moreover, once the void exploration is successful and useful information is passed back, there will be rich rewards.
Just as other forces were discussing the selection of True Immortals, Jindan, the leader of Fengyu Tower, spoke up.
"Let's not talk about the True Immortals of Red Leaf Ridge for now, but there must be two more Golden Core True Immortals, right?"
According to the ratio of one to five, in addition to the twelve families, twenty-five golden elixirs must be collected.
Small and medium-sized forces have much more golden elixirs. For example, the Ji family has double-digit golden elixirs.
But this is also the main high-end combat power of each faction, and any loss will be very painful.
For example, the Yan family only has four golden elixirs at most. Even if one is lost, it will be a huge loss.
Moreover, the survival ability of the golden elixir in the void is poor, which is much worse than that of the Nascent Soul, so the risk will naturally increase greatly.
"Eh?" Jing Yuexin was furious when she heard that. "Did Hongyeling give you Fengyulou face? I haven't settled the score with you guys yet!"
The last account naturally refers to the fact that Fengyu Tower instigated the trouble and asked the Immortal Ke Liang to cause trouble at Hongye Ridge.
"Cough, cough," the deacon on duty, Yuan Yizhenxian, couldn't help it and coughed twice.
Let's put the matter of the True Immortal aside for now. It's nothing more than having two more golden elixirs in your family. Is that that difficult?
"Everyone knows that the real people of Hongyeling are extremely powerful. A few golden cores... they won't hurt you, right?"
