"What a delicious metaphor..."
"That's not the point."
Zhang Xiaojun slapped the table and stood up solemnly: "Destroying the Yanwu Kingdom, for the first two or three years, there was no visible impact, but more than ten years later, it was able to severely damage the Hehuan Sect."
Seeing the certainty of his words, Lin Feng didn't believe it.
"Is he so awesome?"
"Brother, you are narrow-minded."
"How to say?"
"Let me ask you, what is a cultivator before becoming an immortal?"
"Um...my parents' child?"
"wrong."
"The mainstay of the family, my parents' little cotton-padded jacket?"
"wrong."
"The country's tomorrow, the hope for the future?"
"Not yet."
"what is that?"
"They are mortals!" Zhang Xiaojun lowered his voice and said word for word: "Every immortal cultivator, before cultivating immortality, is a member of the general public."
"But..."
"I know you want to ask, how does this relate to what I just said."
"yes."
"If you think about it, since those who cultivate immortality are not born to cultivate immortality, where do the disciples of each sect come from? The answer is - from the masses."
"...to the crowd?"
"You've taken the subject too far."
Zhang Xiaojun glanced at Lin Feng and continued: "What I want to say is that sects and immortal cultivators may seem to be otherworldly, but in fact they are inseparable from the secular world at all."
"Take Hehuan Sect as an example."
"The more countries the Hehuan Sect controls, the greater the population. The greater the population, the greater the influence of the sect and the more disciples it can recruit."
"Since the more countries there are, the more disciples there are. If I destroy the Hehuan Sect as a country, won't I be able to severely damage the Hehuan Sect?"
Zhang Xiaojun returned to his seat with a solemn expression: "Now do you know how terrifying the technique of boiling frogs in warm water that I just mentioned is?"
"..."
Lin Feng slowly opened his mouth, and then slowly closed it. After listening to Zhang Xiaojun's analysis, his plan could indeed have a fatal impact on the Hehuan Sect.
"and!"
Zhang Xiaojun changed the topic and said: "After helping Xihua Country to invade Yanwu Country, our Zhengqi Sect can come forward to persuade Xihua and Yanwu to reconcile."
"The Zhengqi Sect's influence among the people is getting bigger and bigger, while the Hehuan Sect's influence among the people is getting smaller and smaller. The development trends of the two sects in the future are already obvious."
Lin Feng's face was heavy: "I'm afraid that by that time, no mortal will be able to worship the Hehuan Sect. It's rare for a genius to emerge in a hundred years, and in the Zhengqi Sect, people who are cultivating immortals and becoming disciples can break through the gate."
"That's what I mean."
Zhang Xiaojun took a sip of water: "If the plan succeeds, the Hehuan Sect will be in trouble within ten years at most."
Hehuan Sect is in danger...
Lin Feng thought about it and said to Zhang Xiaojun: "You have worked hard for the Zhengqi Sect, and I can't be idle. When I return to the sect, I can ask Sect Master Yang where I can be used, so that I can help you."
He had to quickly go back to the sect master's hall to find Nian Xi and talk about this matter.
"Brother Lin, wait a minute, there is something that needs your help right now."
"Please say."
"I originally planned to use the communication symbol to inform Sect Master Yang of my plan, but the literal description is a bit monotonous. I might as well ask you to tell Sect Master Yang in person."
"Okay, it just so happens that I am going back to the sect. After I return, I will go to see Sect Leader Yang immediately and explain the matter."
"Remember, it must be more lifelike."
"clear."
"I need to explain my plan from multiple aspects, angles, and levels."
"clear."
"Particularly, you must tell Sect Master Yang."
Zhang Xiaojun paused and said solemnly: "Tell him that I came up with this plan myself. If you want to reward based on merit, all the credit is mine."
"...Okay, I will definitely convey it." After a moment of silence, Lin Feng agreed.
"Brother Xiaojun, I'm leaving first. You must pay attention to your safety. Don't forget that there are countless righteous monks like me in the Zhengqi Sect, waiting for your triumphant return."
Zhang Xiaojun clasped his fists: "Brother Lin is righteous! Having Brother Lin makes me like a tiger with wings and ears."
Lin Feng smiled modestly: "Thank you."
"but!"
"Then I'll go first?"
"Walk slowly."
Looking at Lin Feng's back walking further and further away, Zhang Xiaojun felt a sense of satisfaction.
I just feel that the emptiness in my heart is slowly filling up, and a warmth is emerging.
At the end, he smiled easily: "Brother, what else can I ask for?"
-
"Bang!"
"You are a righteous traitor, and you are determined to kill me as a demonic monk. It is shameful!"
Hehuan Sect, the main hall of the sect leader.
Nian Ming smashed the table and stood up with a roar, his face full of anger.
Lin Feng looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his heart, and remained silent.
Nian Xi calmed down and asked him: "What else did Zhang Xiaojun tell you? For example, their action time and specific action plan."
"No, I think they are still in the discussion period, so they can't ask anything."
"Okay, please step back."
Nian Ming waved his hands, feeling tired.
Lin Feng watched the situation and wanted to leave, but couldn't move. After a moment, his heart suddenly changed: "Sect Master, this disciple has a small request."
"What?"
"I would like to ask the sect master to let Zhang Xiaojun go and not to harm his life."
"fart!"
Nian Xi was furious and asked Lin Feng: "Did you get emotional while playing Mission: Impossible?"
Lin Feng's face turned dark: "Please agree, Master, otherwise..."
"How dare you do otherwise?"
"Otherwise, I will elope with Yu Youxuan, leaving your Hehuan Sect without an heir."
"..."
Nian Shan took a shaky breath and waved his hands tiredly: "I understand. If necessary, I will only imprison Zhang Xiaojun and not harm him."
"Thank you, Sect Master. By the way, there is one more thing."
Nian Xi gritted his teeth: "You say it."
"Yu You knows that the sin of killing is too heavy and the burden of karma is too much. When she overcomes the tribulation, the sect master must contact me in advance. Only in this way can I come back in time to help her."
"You, help her?"
"Yes, I have a way to resolve the karma of her debt."
"Okay, I will remember it."
"Disciple resigns."
Lin Feng first went to the depths of the hall to take a look at Yu Youshen, and saw that she was practicing, hitting the barrier of the divine transformation stage again and again, and then left with confidence.
When returning to Zhengqi Sect, he passed by Xihua Kingdom.
Viewed from the air, there were fightings in many places and smoke filled the air. The displaced people fled to the wild, and most of them froze to death while waiting for relief.
However, flying forward, most areas of Xihua Country were still prosperous, and the tranquility was not broken by the sudden war.
Perhaps most people think that this war is just a symbolic fight.
After all, Xihua Kingdom is adjacent to Yanwu Kingdom, and there have been constant disputes since ancient times. You hit me this year, and I will hit you next year, but there has never been a large-scale invasion.
Lin Feng sighed and sped away.
In previous years, it could be said that it was just for fun, but this year was different. The Emperor of Yanwu Kingdom was conducting the expedition in person, and the Crown Prince of Xihua Kingdom had just ascended the throne, so the imperial power was unstable.
Under this situation, Xihua Kingdom is in danger.
