You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Yuan Sheng?

Nalan Yumo glanced at Diwu Shuya with astonishment, his eyes flashing across his face as fast as lightning, and then without hesitation, he focused his attention again on the sound transmission stone on the table that was emitting a faint light.

"Everything has been prepared. Fifth donor, you can give orders at any time..." A steady and slightly vicissitudes of life voice slowly came out from the sound transmission stone.

However, at this moment, Nalan Yumo suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Wait!"

Her voice is clear and loud.

"The Buddhist sect is also planning to get involved? Don't they know the muddy water involved?" Nalan Yumo frowned, with doubt and worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.

You know, ever since Liu Yuntian brutally massacred everyone in the Wuji Holy Land, the situation in the entire continent has become turbulent.

First, the holy land of weapon refining announced that it would close the mountain for self-protection and no longer interfere in the affairs of the outside world;

Compared with the Holy Land of Weapon Refining, which stopped external exchanges, it still maintained a certain degree of commercial exchanges.

The attitude of the Buddhist holy places can simply be described as resolute - they have completely cut off ties with all external forces, as if they were a world of their own, and are completely unconcerned about the changes taking place in the outside world.

The main character is a person who is indifferent to worldly affairs and has few desires.

No matter how turbulent and bloody the situation in other parts of the continent is, Buddhism always adheres to its own principles and positions, practices meditation on its own, and lives a secluded life.

This allowed them to avoid many disputes and troubles, but at the same time it also made Nalan Yumo curious and suspicious about their sudden involvement in this turmoil.

"The Holy Lord Xuankong said at the beginning..." Nalan Yumo frowned slightly, and the words that the Holy Lord of Buddhism had said with such confidence at the beginning still emerged clearly in her mind.

However, before she could finish her words, Yuan Sheng interrupted her loudly.

His originally low voice suddenly rose at this moment, suppressing Nalan Yumo's words.

At the same time, every word that came out of his mouth was mixed with an indescribable complex emotion.

"Holy Lord...I don't know about this."

Yuan Sheng seemed to be experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.

"This action of mine is only to repay the kindness of Mr. Liu in the past."

The Fifth Uncle Ya, however, looked as if he had known this for a long time and sighed softly.

He slowly explained to Nalan Yumo, who opened his mouth in astonishment,

"The Buddhist holy land already has considerable influence in the secret realm."

"It is for this reason that the scattered practitioners in Western Xinjiang were able to actively respond to Liu Yi's call."

"I have to say that the Buddhist holy land has made an indelible contribution to this matter!"

Nalan Yumo took a deep breath, then slowly closed his lips, trying to calm his heart which was beating violently due to shock.

Her vision gradually regained clarity, and her thoughts broke free from her initial shock. She was no longer troubled by all kinds of random thoughts as before.

Although I was shocked when I heard the news just now, when I thought that all this was done by Liu Yuntian, it seemed less difficult to understand.

After all, Liu Yuntian has always been so mysterious that people can't guess how much strength and backup he has hidden.

For most people, as things continue to develop and evolve, they can only helplessly accept those unimaginable facts in shock again and again.

Nalan Yumo pursed her lips gently, then nodded slightly and volunteered, "Since this is the case, let me, the Hundred Flowers Holy Land, take the lead in East Xinjiang."

Just as she and her fifth uncle were about to continue discussing the relevant details, suddenly, as if they had telepathy, the two of them stopped talking almost at the same time and cast their eyes in unison towards the closed door.

Immediately afterwards, a light but clear knock on the door came into the house, and the "dong dong dong" sound broke the original silence.

At the same time, Liu Yi's voice followed closely: "Fifth Master, Liu Yi still has some matters concerning the Northern Expedition that he would like to discuss with you further..."

After Diwu Shuya and Nalan Yumo looked at each other, Nalan Yumo blinked slightly, as if conveying some information.

Receiving the hint, Fifth Uncle Ya slowly stood up and walked towards the closed door with steady steps.

With a slight noise, the door was gently opened, and Diwu Shuya said softly to the person outside the door: "Come in and talk."

Liu Yi, who was standing outside the door, first carefully walked past the figure of Diwu Shuya and looked into the house.

When he saw Nalan Yumo sitting at the table and sipping tea calmly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

He clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully to Nalan Yumo, and greeted him, "So Uncle Nalan is here too."

Nalan Yumo raised his head, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and lightly tapped his chin in response.

After getting permission, Liu Yi stepped into the house and glanced around casually.

When his eyes fell on the faintly glowing sound transmission stone on the table, he paused for a moment without showing too much doubt.

Then, he walked to a round stool and sat down, leaning forward, and said solemnly: "My two uncles, in Liu Yi's opinion, this Northern Expedition is still a bit hasty."

He frowned slightly and continued to explain: "It's not that Liu Yi has no confidence in the three holy places, it's just that the strength of the National Defense Army cannot be underestimated!"

"We were able to annihilate the 100,000 National Defense Army in one fell swoop. Of course, this was due to the heroic efforts of our soldiers, but we have to admit that it was also thanks to your clever manipulation of their spiritual treasures, Fifth Master, that we were able to achieve such a brilliant victory."

At this point, Liu Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Diwu Shuya, with admiration on his face.

However, he changed the subject and rubbed his fingers while saying in a heavy tone: "But even so, the subsequent situation may not be as smooth as we imagined."

"Fang Qing is not an ordinary and incompetent person. After suffering a great loss, he will definitely learn from his mistakes and will never fall in the same place again. Therefore, the next battle will surely be extremely difficult..."

Liu Yi was still chattering on and on, but at this moment, Diwu Shuya and Nalan Yumo were extremely anxious and panicked.

After all, the mission Liu Yuntian gave them was to urge Liu Yi to start a rebellion quickly. If Liu Yi suddenly changed his mind and wanted to occupy Zhongzhou for decades before starting a rebellion...

Liu Yuntian would definitely not be able to endure such a long wait!

If Liu Yuntian became dissatisfied and blamed them, the two of them would not be able to bear the rage!

The Fifth Uncle Ya was quick-witted. He stretched out a hand and pressed hard on Liu Yi's shoulder. He changed his tone to encourage him and shouted loudly: "My nephew Liu Yi! How can you be so timid on the eve of the battle?!"

Then, he continued to persuade at a very fast speed: "We want to wipe out the 100,000-strong National Defense Army in one fell swoop. I'm sure Fang Qing will not sit back and wait for death! He will definitely launch a thunderous and fierce counterattack, and it won't take long for his offensive to reach here."

"So, if we can't seize the initiative and take the first step, the consequences will be disastrous..."

"What Diwu said is absolutely correct!" Nalan Yumo couldn't wait to interrupt Diwu Shuya's words.

He eagerly agreed, "You are entrenched in Zhongzhou, and you can hold your ground by relying on the strategic location."

"But our three holy places don't have enough energy to accompany you to slowly consume it like this!" Her voice was crisp and loud, full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"You know, we came here with our entire lives at stake to help you start this uprising."

"If you suddenly retreat at this critical moment, how can you fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the northern border?"

"Wouldn't this make everyone in the world feel chilled?"

Faced with Nalan Yumo's barrage of questions, Liu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

He thought to himself that both Diwu Shuya and Nalan Yumo's opinions seemed to have sufficient reasons and basis.

Moreover, Liu was well aware that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility. It was Liu Gong who personally entrusted him with this important task concerning life and death. If he missed this rare opportunity because of his indecision, wouldn't he really become a sinner for all eternity?

Thinking of this, Liu felt a huge pressure coming at him, making him a little breathless.

At this critical moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind - the three mysterious bags that Liu Yuntian gave him!

The first secret bag had been opened as early as when they were in the capital of the northern border.

According to what Mo Liqing said at the time, only when he was indecisive and unable to make a decision could he open the second treasure bag to seek guidance.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all and quickly reached into the storage ring to search.

Seeing this, Diwu Shuya and Nalan Yumo, who were standing by, looked at him with curiosity and confusion, but he ignored all that and only wanted to get the lucky bag as soon as possible that might be able to solve his urgent problem.

Finally, he succeeded in taking out the sachet. Under the puzzled gazes of the two, he carefully began to dismantle the sachet.

As the outer wrapping was gradually peeled off, a piece of paper only the size of a thumb was revealed.

He gently pinched a corner of the paper and slowly unfolded it, only to see four large characters written in a flamboyant style: [Ashamed Duck Standing on a Crane].

Seeing these four words, Liu Yi couldn't help but murmur softly: "Ashamed duck standing on a crane?"

He frowned slightly and chewed on these words over and over again, trying to decipher the deep meaning that Liu Yuntian wanted to convey to him.

However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he was unable to comprehend the mystery for a while.

But at this moment, Nalan Yumo, who had been observing silently beside him, seemed to suddenly understand something. A gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he shouted excitedly: "I understand!"

"Isn't this duck what we usually call a duck?" Nalan Yumo said loudly.

"You can imagine that ducks are born with short legs, but look at the cranes standing in the distance, their legs are so long."

"There is no need for ducks to feel ashamed and envious of cranes just because they have short legs! After all, they belong to two completely different categories of creatures."

"Each species has its own unique characteristics and advantages. Although ducks have short legs, they also have their own advantages. Similarly, although cranes have long and beautiful legs, they are not without disadvantages."

"It is foolish to compare your shortcomings with others' strengths!"

“We should learn to face up to and cherish our own strengths, rather than blindly envy others and belittle ourselves.”

“Only in this way can we find our own place in this colorful world and shine our own light.”

After being stunned for a moment, Liu Yi showed a thoughtful look on his face and began to carefully consider what Nalan Yumo said.

He frowned slightly, staring intently ahead, pondering.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, after a moment, Liu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he suddenly realized something important.

Then, he couldn't help but slap his thigh vigorously and shouted excitedly: "That's right! That's it!"

"Mr. Liu must have the same idea!" He was so excited that his voice trembled. "Although Fang Qing has three million national defense troops, he seems to have a strong force and is invincible."

"But now the Daliang Dynasty is on the decline and will soon be exhausted. There must be many people in its army who are weak-willed and wavering."

At this point, Liu Yi paused for a moment, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "On our side, although our overall strength may be slightly inferior to that of the Northern Frontier, everyone has firm beliefs and is united! As long as we can seize the opportunity and launch a lightning attack all the way north, we will definitely be able to catch them by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared."

"And in the process, we only need to continue to absorb those National Defense Army who have lost confidence in the Northern Frontier to join our camp. In this way, our strength will become stronger and stronger."

"As for Fang Qing, as his soldiers defect and their morale drops, he will only become weaker and weaker, and his combat effectiveness will gradually decline. As one gains, the other loses, and the balance of victory will definitely tilt towards us!"

"In this battle, the advantage is mine!"
