“In that case, allow the major forces to enter the cities. On one hand, it provides them with safety, and on the other hand, letting them defend the cities can also protect the common people.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, the Grand Elder stroked his beard in thought.
“But, Saint, the cities under my Qingyun Sect simply cannot accommodate so many people. Moreover, it’s easy to let these minor forces into the cities, but it will be difficult to make them leave later.”
“It’s easy to let them move into the cities now, but it will be difficult to make them move out once everything settles down.”
The Grand Elder’s face was filled with difficulty.
Why do major forces prohibit people from minor forces from entering cities? It is to greatly reduce their contact with the common people.
This is to reduce the common people’s chances of stepping into the Cultivation world. There are only so many resources, a typical case of too many wolves and too little meat.
If everyone were to Cultivate, some basic supplies would completely collapse, and a large number of common people embarking on the path of Cultivation would greatly increase resource consumption.
At that time, without resources, the entire area would fall into endless slaughter.
Not just here, the entire world operates this way. There are only so many resources, and they diminish with use. To reduce the number of Cultivators, they largely cut off opportunities for common people to interact with Cultivators.
This is to achieve the goal of curbing the number of Cultivators.
“My Qingyun Sect’s cities can let them move in. As for those of other major forces, tell those minor Schools that our Qingyun Sect agrees to let them move into the cities for self-preservation.”
“The price is that they need to protect the common people. As for whether other major forces are willing, that is not something we need to consider.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, the Grand Elder’s eyes lit up. Brilliant!
Currently, the conflict between minor forces and the Qingyun Sect is deepening, and other major forces are watching the show.
Ye Lin’s move directly shifts the conflict, making the minor forces contend with the major forces.
If minor forces want to move into cities, they will inevitably have to go through the cities governed by those major forces, and the major forces least want to see these minor forces come into contact with the cities.
Therefore, there will definitely be disputes between the two sides. For survival, those minor forces will certainly fight against those major forces regardless of the consequences. Their Qingyun Sect instantly transforms from a protagonist to a bystander watching the show.
If the minor forces win, the Qingyun Sect will, on one hand, protect the common people, and on the other hand, regain popular support.
If the major forces win, these minor forces will definitely collectively attack the major forces, saying, “If you don’t let us live, we won’t let you have an easy time either.”
In this way, no matter how you calculate it, the Qingyun Sect will not lose out.
As the overlord within a radius of ten thousand li, the Qingyun Sect still has this much power. Next, they only need to let these minor forces and those major forces fight amongst themselves.
They will use this time to quickly consolidate their strength.
“Good, I will go and handle this now.”
The Grand Elder’s face was full of smiles, and then he hurriedly departed.
Ye Lin’s move was truly brilliant. He was already eager to implement this plan.
And just as the two were conversing, the battle on the arena also concluded.
The victor was a man who appeared unremarkable on the surface.
Looking at this man, Ye Lin was a little curious, so he decided to check his panel.
Name: Yan Shuangying
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Middle Stage
Fate: Green
Fate Trait: 【Proficient in Dogged Dao】
Destiny: Stops at Core Formation Stage Late Stage. During a Secret Realm scramble, he was casually obliterated by a Nascent Soul Stage powerful being.
Recent Opportunity: Three days later, he will journey to the Hundred Thousand Mountains for experience. At the bottom of the Xuanbing Lake, he will discover a Profound Rank High-Grade spiritual fruit, the Cold Moon Fruit. After consuming it, his Inferior Spiritual Root will be enhanced to a Medium Grade Spiritual Root.
【Proficient in Dogged Dao】: On the surface, he has Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Cultivation, but secretly, he is at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. From birth, your personality has been extremely cautious. This cautious nature can greatly increase your survival rate.
“Interesting.”
Looking at this person’s panel, Ye Lin chuckled. This was the first time he had seen this fate trait.
This Opportunity is good, a treasure that can enhance Spiritual Root.
However, being able to upgrade a spiritual fruit from Low Grade to Medium Grade is truly Heaven-Defying.
The Opportunity is good, I will gladly accept it.
“Saint Sir.”
Yan Shuangying noticed someone staring at him and looked around, only to find it was the Sect’s Saint. Frightened, he hurriedly bowed in salute.
“Mm.”
Ye Lin nodded and turned to leave the place.
“Why is Saint Sir looking at me? Has my Cultivation been seen through? No way, I’ve always hidden it very deeply?”
“No, I definitely cannot make a move for a while.”
Looking at Ye Lin’s retreating figure, Yan Shuangying murmured.
“Now, it’s time to go to Jueduan Cliff to get Mo Yi’s Opportunity.”
Standing at the Sect entrance, Ye Lin summoned Evil Slayer, placed his hands behind his back, and flew towards Jueduan Cliff.
Jueduan Cliff is located beyond a radius of ten thousand li and does not belong to the territory governed by the Qingyun Sect.
It is clear how much deterrent power Chu Xue had over him, causing him to immediately flee beyond the Qingyun Sect’s governed territory.
“Presumably, this is Jueduan Cliff, right?”
Ye Lin looked at the towering mountain before him and muttered to himself.
Jueduan Cliff was marked on the map given by Master, but only with a few strokes. He had to take several detours to find this place.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Ye Lin held the hidden god pearl and flew towards Jueduan Cliff. The hidden god pearl is definitely a divine item for low-level Cultivators, but for him now, its effect is gradually weakening.
Once he Breaks Through to Golden Core Stage, this thing will not be of much use.
“Very good, I can feel Mo Yi’s Qi.”
Stepping into Jueduan Cliff, Ye Lin murmured. He could already feel the Devilish Qi on Mo Yi’s body, but it was very faint.
He did not search carefully, but flew directly towards the bottom of Jueduan Cliff. After all, he was not here to cause trouble, but to obtain the Opportunity.
Upon reaching the bottom, the surroundings were empty. What met his eyes was a huge stone wall, with no other objects.
“What’s on the panel must be correct. If I can’t find a cave, perhaps…”
Immediately, Ye Lin punched the stone wall in front of him. Instantly, the stone wall collapsed, and a man-sized opening appeared before his eyes.
“As expected.”
Ye Lin stepped into the opening, used earth elements to restore the stone wall behind him to its original state, then placed the hidden god pearl at the entrance, and took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to place next to the hidden god pearl.
The hidden god pearl is activated by spiritual power, and with the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone placed next to it, the hidden god pearl remains continuously activated, allowing for 100% concealment of Qi.
After doing all this, Ye Lin lifted his foot and walked forward.
Outside the cave, Mo Yi, covered in Devilish Qi, appeared before the stone wall, his eyes suspiciously looking around.
“What’s going on? I clearly heard a big commotion over here just now.”
“Could it be some animal ran past?”
Mo Yi looked around. When he was in seclusion just now, he clearly heard a huge sound coming from this direction.
Ever since Chu Xue severely wounded him with two swords, Chu Xue’s figure had been deeply imprinted in his mind, causing him to immediately rush out of the Qingyun Sect’s jurisdiction without stopping.
Moreover, even when he was in seclusion healing his injuries, he was constantly paying attention to all movements around him, fearing that Chu Xue would pursue him.
And this also led to his current extremely cautious personality.
“I can’t stay here. When I Break Through to Golden Core Stage, Chu Xue, you will die sooner or later.”
After Mo Yi finished speaking, he flew off into the distance.
Meanwhile, inside the cave, Ye Lin was completely stunned by the scene before him.
