Chapter 462 Return Visit
Wait for Li Daoshi to finish speaking.

Cooperation?

Still not cooperating?
This voice, like a guessing spell, kept playing in the minds of Shengxu Daozu and others.

His face was full of confusion, and his heart was full of hesitation.

If you choose to cooperate, there will be advantages and disadvantages for Guangleishan.

The advantage is that you can obtain unimaginably huge economic benefits and earn almost countless spiritual coins.

What's the downside?
It may be the same as the Hundred Cities Alliance more than ten years ago, Feiyun Mountain a few years ago, and Chixing Mountain not long ago.

What is the end of these forces?
merge.

Without exception, all were merged and annexed by Nawancheng Kingdom.

Then use methods such as controlling the source of disciples, financial ties, and sending overseas students to study abroad, etc., to give complete control and no escape.

In the end, he had to abide by the laws of mortals and sit on an equal footing with mortals. He could not get complete freedom and had to look at the face of mortals.

Living in this kind of hellish life, no matter how much spirit coins you can earn, it is meaningless.

What about not cooperating?

beaten.

Prepare to be beaten.

Because the mortals in Wancheng Kingdom are so rich!

Estimated from their clothing, productivity level, military strength, quality of life and other aspects, Wancheng Kingdom is at least 100 times richer than Guanglei Mountain.

A lot of money is enough, the problem is that their military strength is also experiencing explosive growth.

Under the model of national cultivation, if the population of 8 million is multiplied by one four hundredth, there may be nearly 200 million monks in the Wancheng Kingdom.

Three percent of them are liquid-condensing stage monks, and one ten-thousandth are solid-dan stage immortals.

Coupled with the auxiliary bonuses of the Juling Pagoda and the Spirit Melting Pill...

In a few years, Guanglei Mountain will be submerged by the monk legion of Wancheng Kingdom.

And they still have a single shot that can kill the Lingyuan warships of the ancestors of Shenqi, and there may be hundreds of them in number.

Supplemented by the benefits of utensils.

This is a suffocating and hopeless power gap.

Saying no cooperation at this time is tantamount to saying - I choose to die.

Of course, the facts may not be as exaggerated as the above, but it is true that the strength gap between Guanglei Mountain and Wancheng Kingdom has not been narrowing, but widening.

It gets bigger and bigger.

There is no possibility of catching up... Even if Guanglei Mountain has carried out certain reforms, it has introduced some advanced systems and created a powerful Lingyuan cannon.

Still to no avail.

But cooperation... sooner or later will be swallowed up.

After being annexed, there are still many benefits, but what is lost is a large part of rights and dignity.

How to choose?

In Guanglei Hall, all the elders quarreled.

The vast majority are voices against cooperation.

"Wancheng Kingdom has evil intentions and came with the despicable purpose of annexing us. You must not cooperate with it!"

"Spiritual coins, magical instruments, and property are all belongings outside the body. What do we practitioners want?"

"That's right. Immortals like me only ask about longevity. No matter how much money we have, it's just dung."

"Sovereign, please expel all the visiting delegation from Wancheng Kingdom and return all the goods and goods. Don't fall for their tricks!"

"Don't think that the people in Guanglei Mountain are all fools! You Wancheng Kingdom's intentions are clearly revealed, do you think we can't see it?"

"If you agree to cooperate, you will be tricked by Wan Chengguo."

In the main hall, there are voices who see through Wan Cheng Kingdom's ambitions and intentions and think that they cannot cooperate.

But there are also a small number of people who think that it is not impossible to cooperate.

"Cooperation is fine, but Wancheng Kingdom is not allowed to interfere in our Guanglei Mountain's internal affairs, and it is not allowed to invade our city in the mortal world."

"Yes! Cooperation is possible, but in our territory, we must be the main ones, not the customers!"

"We have taken precautions. Wan Chengguo's tricks are useless. We can get some of their good things."

"Yes, at least I, Guanglei Mountain, must have the Melting Spirit Pill!"

Amidst these voices of support and opposition, Ye Kong, who was sitting in the front seat, did not say a word and kept silent all the time.

Feeling very heavy.

Because whether to cooperate or not to cooperate, to Guang Leishan, it means two words.

crisis.

A major crisis related to the survival of the sect.

Maybe some elders think this is an opportunity and think that they can earn countless spiritual coins through cooperation, but Ye Kong knows in his heart that this crisis has officially begun.

From the moment when the visiting delegation from Wancheng Kingdom sent a gift called "sincerity", which was actually a disguised display of strength and muscle, Ye Kong knew: Wancheng Kingdom was going to attack Guanglei Mountain.

Speaking of cooperation, I just want to test Guanglei Mountain's will to resist, collect some information, and prepare for the conquest.

Why do you say that?

Because the strong do not have the habit of cooperating with the weak.

Even with the strength of the Wancheng Kingdom, there is no need to propose cooperation at all.

So Ye Kong saw a huge crisis.

Not the slightest bit of optimism.

He asked the old man in his mind: "Grandpa, the crisis in Guanglei Mountain this time is bound to be unprecedented, what should I do?"

The opponent was too strong, Ye Kong didn't have any idea in his heart, so he could only ask the old man habitually.

"Uh……"

The old man in his mind thought for a while, and asked him first: "If Wan Cheng Kingdom came to attack and wanted to destroy Guanglei Mountain, what would you do?"

"What else can I do, I can only fight!" Ye Kong said without hesitation.

"But Wancheng Kingdom is very strong. If you fight, you may die."

The old man paused and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

die?
Ye Kong was taken aback for a moment, and thought about this question carefully.

Then he shook his head and said: "Death, who is not afraid, but the enemy is coming, I have no choice but to fight."

Even death is better than being a cowardly deserter.

Zhou Ming immediately understood what he meant, and also understood his choice very well. After all, Guanglei Mountain was Ye Kong's teacher. Guanglei Mountain trained him and provided resources to make him achieve achievements in cultivation. He has shown his ability. Of course, he also encountered a lot of resistance and pressure during this process, but in general, the favor given to him by the Guanglei Mountain stage is worthy of his reward and loyalty.

It is basically impossible for him to betray this sect or escape from this place.

Because Guanglei Mountain's brand has been deeply imprinted on Ye Kong's body, resulting in deep emotions and bonds... even if it is not perfect here.

"Wait, wait and see what happens. Guanglei Mountain has three trance ancestors, and there are over a hundred immortals. It is not so easy for Wancheng Kingdom to destroy them. It is probably for this reason that they proposed cooperation."

said the old man.

Ye Kong nodded, Wan Chengguo's intentions have not been fully exposed yet, and he does not have much say in Guanglei Mountain, so it is indeed the best response to wait and see what happens.

……

At this time, in the main hall, after a fierce debate continued for a while, Daozu Shengxu knocked on the low table in front of him to quiet down below.

"Whether to cooperate with Wancheng Kingdom or not, our sect still needs to discuss for a few days. That's all for today. Everyone, go to your own mountains."

Daozu Shengxu waved his hand to end the hall meeting, and then privately summoned the elders from all the mountains to hold an internal meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

At the internal meeting, the elders were consulted for their opinions. 80% of them thought they could not cooperate, and 20% thought they could cooperate.

The non-cooperative faction is in the majority...Ye Kong is also a member of the majority.

Daozu Shengxu himself also felt that Wan Chengguo's cooperation invitation contained traps, and thought that cooperation was not possible.

Therefore, the next day, in the Guanglei Hall, after summoning the diplomatic ambassador of the Wancheng Kingdom Li Daoshi again, Daozu Shengxu said in a tactful tone: "The time for this cooperation is not yet ripe, let me think about it for a while." , and look for cooperation opportunities in the future.”

Hearing this, Li Daoshi shook his head regretfully, "It seems that your lord still doesn't trust me, Wan Chengguo. Your misunderstanding of our country is too deep, which caused a great opportunity to be missed. Unfortunately, too much Too bad."

"I think this is due to the lack of deep understanding between the two sides. On behalf of Wancheng Kingdom, it is only my first official visit to Guanglei Mountain. The lack of mutual trust is normal."

"However, Wancheng Kingdom and Guanglei Mountain still have good prospects for cooperation. The current inability to cooperate is due to insufficient mutual trust and weak foundation between the two parties."

"As long as the two sides enhance mutual understanding, increase mutual exchanges, cultivate a profound friendship, and lay a solid foundation for cooperation, we will be able to cooperate in the future!"

So with this in mind, Li Daoshi timely suggested: the two sides first establish a solid bilateral dialogue relationship, send personnel to visit each other, first cultivate friendship, and resolve previous misunderstandings.

It would be best if after Wancheng Country's visit is over, Guangleishan will also send personnel to pay a return visit to Wancheng Country.

In this way, mutual cognition can quickly be transformed from "misunderstanding" to "understanding".

Once we get to know each other well, we will gradually have the possibility of cooperation.

Sending a return visit?

Li Daoshi's proposal aroused heated discussions among the elders, and in the end both agreed and opposed.

Daozu Shengxu thought about it, Wan Chengguo sent a delegation to visit and gave so many generous gifts, it stands to reason that Guanglei Mountain should really pay a return visit and send some gifts.

Moreover, the upper level of Guanglei Mountain only knew about the Wancheng Kingdom from the extremely exaggerated descriptions they got from the information sent by the hidden intelligence personnel. There are doubts about the real situation. Go to the Wancheng country to find out in person and see it with your own eyes.

Coincidentally, many elders now have cameras presented by the visiting group in their hands, allowing them to take some photos.

So after another internal discussion in private, Guangleishan reached an agreement: agreeing to send personnel to visit Wancheng Country.

It's just this person...

"Ye Kong, go ahead. You are most concerned about Wancheng Kingdom's movements on weekdays. You can apply to be a representative and go to Wancheng Kingdom for inspection." The old man in his mind suddenly suggested.

Ye Kong nodded. It just so happened that most of the elders were cautious and skeptical about visiting Wancheng Kingdom. They were worried that this was a trap and no one would sign up. Ye Kong took the initiative to invite Ying. He praised him well and called on other elders to learn from him.

In this way, the task of leading a return visit to Wancheng Country fell on Ye Kong's shoulders.
