Chapter 524 Prelude to War
Regarding the hype about population growth and land shortage, the media has been hyping for two or three months.

However, in late October, the tide of the media changed.

The collective turned to report on the evil cultivators in Nanyuanzhou who did evil in Zhongyuanzhou.

For example, there is an evil cultivator who kidnaps and kills rich people in the Wancheng Kingdom and plunders the property of the people.

For example, an evil cultivator sneaked into the factory of Wancheng Country to steal advanced technical materials.

For example, there are evil cultivators who plunder the men and women of Wancheng Kingdom, refine them as furnaces and kill them.

The many vicious crimes that occurred in Wancheng are all related to the evil cultivators of Nanyuanzhou who fled into Wancheng.

What aroused the nation's attention and anger the most was the event that the youngest immortal in Wancheng Kingdom, Mu Xianzi, was abducted by evil cultivators in a contest held by the Mu Family in Xingtang City more than two months ago. Later, it was confirmed that it was also done by a group of evil cultivators from Nanyuanzhou.

Even for the highly concerned "Abduction of Fairy Mu", the State Bureau of Special Operations specially held a press conference to announce the details, display the tools of the crime, demonstrate the modus operandi, and combined with previous investigations, came to a conclusion: if Excluding Fairy Mu, the criminal gang formed by Patriarch Snake Kui and his apprentices took at least seven women and three men, a total of ten Wancheng Kingdom geniuses.

His crimes are simply cruel and insane!

Not only that, but at this press conference, Fairy Mu——Mu Feiyan was also invited to the scene by officials from the National Special Operations Bureau. She answered a few questions in front of hundreds of reporters and talked about the matter. the opinion of.

Mu Feiyan cleared her throat, and said a few words according to the manuscript prepared for her in advance:

"The evil cultivators of Nanyuanzhou are doing evil in our homeland and wantonly plundering. We should face up to their danger and protect our safety."

"But the evil cultivators are cunning and insidious. They always hide in the dark and shoot cold arrows at the kind people in our country. No matter how powerful the country is, it is always difficult to guard against it. We can only strengthen our vigilance by ourselves and provide more clues to the Special Operations Bureau. "

"These measures are ultimately helpless and passive choices. If you want to completely stop those evil cultivators, you need a smarter method."

"I believe that with the strength of our country and the wisdom of our leaders, those evil cultivators will eventually get the punishment they deserve."

After Mu Feiyan's speech was reported by hundreds of media, it aroused heated discussions across the country.

The focus of people's hot discussion, one is Mu Xianzi's stunning appearance in the newspaper; the other is those rampant and cruel Nanyuanzhou evil cultivators, how can we get rid of them completely?

How can we completely stop these evil cultivators, and stop making troubles and wanton jumping around in Wancheng, a peaceful and prosperous country with advanced technology and many geniuses?

In other words, how can we get rid of all these evil cultivators more thoroughly?

It is impossible to fortify the border. How many manpower will it take to stop the evil cultivators from Nanyuanzhou on the tens of thousands of miles long border?
What if we change our thinking and send military forces directly to Nanyuanzhou to wipe out all those evil cultivators from the source?

This is the best way to solve the problem once and for all.

As a result, some small and medium media newspapers began to appear words such as "Go to Nanyuanzhou, kill the evil cultivators' lair", "Conquer Nanyuanzhou, pull out the cancer, and wipe out the evil cultivators", and readers think it makes sense , They all said, "Good way, good way!"

Zhou Ming in Daxian Academy immediately smelled the approaching storm.

He hurriedly wrote a letter to Mu Feiyan, asking why she attended the press conference and acted as a key pawn?

Mu Feiyan wrote back and said: "I didn't want to go at first, but an official gave me 500 million spirit coins. I thought about it and went. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Pfft~"

Seeing this reply, Zhou Ming spat out.

"Just for a mere 500 million, you are willing to be the pawn of those big shots? Do you know how many people will die because of your words?"

It could be millions!

Zhou Ming said loudly in his heart, he felt that Mu Feiyan was so stupid and sweet, she would do anything just to get Lingcoins.

but……

He also realized that even if Mu Feiyan didn't say those words, the senior management of Wancheng Kingdom would still make something happen.

A little big deal!

……

Wancheng country.

House of Parliament.

In a closed conference hall.

On a huge circular conference table.

The important high-level officials in Wancheng's country gathered together to discuss major issues.

If Zhou Ming was present at this time, he would recognize many old faces.

For example, Hongping Daozu of Qingyun Mountain, Shengkong Daozu (Ye Kong) of Guanglei Mountain, and the parents of the previous life - Yingshiyu and Meiqianhong couple of Feiyunshan.

There are also many new faces.

For example, the current head of state, deputy head of state, minister of defense, minister of economy, director of intelligence, director of special operations, etc. of Wancheng Kingdom are all unfamiliar faces.

They are discussing something.

After taking Nanyuanzhou, how to distribute the benefits.

Not bad!

Although the people are still discussing how to deal with the evil cultivators in Nanyuanzhou, the high-level officials of Wancheng Kingdom have already reached a high degree of consensus: dispatch the legion to swallow Nanyuanzhou!

The topic they have been arguing for the past few days is mainly the distribution of benefits.

Nanyuanzhou has a radius of 20 li, one large spiritual vein, three small spiritual veins, and thousands of mortal cities.

There is no doubt that the thousand cities in the mortal world belong to the Wancheng Kingdom.

But how to distribute the four spiritual veins, Qingyun, Guanglei, Chixing, and Feiyun four mountains, can be said to be so noisy that it will break the dog's brain.

The first person to raise the war controversy was Ying Shiyu and Mei Qianhong from Feiyun Mountain... With the rapid increase in the number of immortals in various mountains over the years, the spirit veins of Zhongyuanzhou can be said to be overwhelmed.

During the low tide period when the spiritual energy gushed out, not to mention Feiyun Mountain suffered a cut-off, even Chixing Mountain in the middle had a problem of insufficient spiritual energy supply.

As a result, around the insufficient supply of spiritual energy in the spiritual veins, the four major sects continued to quarrel, conflicts and frictions recurred, and the relationship became more and more tense.

It was Ying Shiyu who realized that even if he troubled the three upstream sects, it would be impossible to solve the problem... There are 167 immortals in Feiyun Mountain. Even in the period when the spiritual veins are abundant, the supply of spiritual energy is insufficient, so they can only be supplemented by the Juling Pagoda , Will there be more immortals in the future?
Even if Feiyun Mountain occupied the entire spiritual vein, the spiritual energy might not be enough.

Can only engage in external expansion.

So Ying Shiyu made a special trip to visit Wu Xinyu, the head of the Wancheng Kingdom, and asked to join forces with the Wancheng Kingdom to attack Nanyuanzhou!Wancheng Kingdom has all the mortal land and cities, and Feiyun Mountain has all the spiritual veins, mutual benefit and win-win, and sincere cooperation.

Hearing this, Wu Xinyu and other senior officials of Wanchengguo didn't change their expressions, but their hearts moved.

In fact, they had already planned to send troops to Nanyuanzhou to occupy new territories.

Why?

Interests are also interests.

commercial interest.

In recent years, as Wancheng Kingdom's powerful products have been exported like a tide, earning a large amount of spiritual coins, it has formed a huge surplus to the surrounding continents, absorbing tens of billions of spiritual coins every year.

The extreme imbalance in trade has made it more and more difficult for the high-level executives of the surrounding continents, from the initial welcome, to the subsequent restrictions, and finally to the final boycott and hatred, Wan Chengguo's export business has become more and more difficult.

Especially in Nanyuanzhou, many righteous and evil sects even united to organize a professional plundering team to attack the caravans of Wancheng Kingdom and kill the merchants of Wancheng Kingdom. The economic interests of Wancheng Kingdom suffered heavy losses in Nanyuanzhou.

The export volume has shrunk year by year, the country's population has grown too fast, and the inflow of resources has decreased. Over the years, the economic growth rate of Wancheng Country has slowed down significantly, and the living standards of the people have stagnated.

The internal contradictions caused by the rising unemployment rate are constantly emerging.

So this situation must be improved and a way out must be found!
After thinking and thinking, it seems that only external expansion can resolve the core contradiction.

The hype about overpopulation and crimes committed by evil cultivators from other continents are just excuses. Although they exist, they are far less serious than what the newspapers advertised.

In addition, Feiyunshan took the initiative to find him and expressed his willingness to deploy all his combat power to help swallow Nanyuanzhou. This coincided with the thoughts of the head of state Wu Xinyu and other high-level officials.

However, out of the consideration of balancing the four major sects, Wu Xinyu also sent people to invite the Taoist ancestors of Qingyun, Guanglei, and Chixing to the capital city to discuss major issues.

So there was a scene where Wu Xinyu and others were drinking tea while the heads of the four sects were spitting and arguing fiercely.

This quarrel lasted for four or five days, and finally it was successfully negotiated.

It is agreed as follows:

Wancheng Kingdom sent 50% of its troops to occupy all the mortal cities and minerals.

Feiyun Mountain dispatched 18% of the troops, occupying 40% of the upper reaches of the large spiritual veins in Nanyuanzhou.

Guanglei Mountain dispatched 14% of the troops, occupying 30% of the middle reaches of the large spiritual veins in Nanyuanzhou.

Red Star Mountain dispatched 12% of the troops, occupying 30% of the downstream of the large spiritual vein in Nanyuanzhou.

Qingyun Mountain dispatched 6% of the troops, and got two large and small spiritual veins in Nanyuanzhou.

The remaining small spiritual vein depends on the losses of the various sects during the conquest war. If a certain sect suffers heavy casualties, this small spiritual vein will be compensated to the sect.

In this way, the several power giants in Wancheng basically reached an agreement.

And after the preheating of the national media hype, the support rate of public opinion supporting the annihilation of Nanyuanzhou by force exceeded [-]%.

As a result, Wancheng Kingdom, which has quickly entered the state of war preparation and mobilization, is about to reveal its sharp fangs and turn into a ferocious giant beast.

Zhou Ming folded his hands and watched all this secretly.
