Chapter 207 Am I an outsider?
Chapter 207 Am I an outsider?
This shock only lasted for a moment. After all, they were all powerful people in the Mahayana period and had experienced countless storms.
Everyone quickly returned to their seats.
Liu Yuntian naturally smiled and acted like a good boy, pretending nothing had happened and returned to his seat obediently.
At this moment, Ruyi seemed to have discovered a new world. If any other saint were so presumptuous, he would definitely be severely warned.
However, it was Liu Yuntian's crazy behavior that made Wuji dare not hold him accountable easily.
Because a madman doesn't need to follow rules no matter where he is.
Either don't provoke it, or destroy it completely.
However, it is obvious that Liu Yuntian has grown up now, and it is not easy to get rid of him directly.
Recalling the distribution of salt and sugar before, Diwu Shuya and Nalan Yumo were sent to test Liu Yuntian. At that time, he was very forbearing and claimed that he had absolutely no intention of abolishing Shi Limu.
But after the country's fortune came, it immediately changed its face!
There is absolutely no demeanor of a great power!
No wonder her Baihua Holy Land has been unable to escape Wuji’s control for so many years.
The key to breaking through... is madness!
The more rational you are, the less courageous you are!
"Ruyi, you were the one who organized the gathering of the six holy places. Now that everyone is here, do you have anything to say?"
Wuji crossed his hands and placed them under his chin, his cold eyes fixed on the Holy Lord of Flowers.
It can be seen that Wuji's attitude at this time has taken a sharp turn for the worse compared to before, and he is obviously a bit annoyed.
As he saw the situation, he quickly swallowed and tried to calm himself down.
Then he slowly said: "Qiyang City in Zhongzhou has always been the gathering center of the entire continent."
As she spoke, she glanced at the people present and continued, "Special items from various holy places will be sold here, but have you noticed an important issue?"
"The number of cultivators in the Northern Frontier is increasing, but in Qiyang City, there are almost no people from the Northern Frontier."
"That is to say, one-fifth of the territory of Qiyang Continent and many cultivators seem to have been forgotten by us..."
Hearing this, the other four saints remained silent and just drank the tea in their hands.
They knew in their hearts that although what Ruyi said sounded reasonable, it was actually just nonsense.
It's like there are five pieces of cake on the table, but one piece has never been served. This is indeed not appropriate.
But they also know that things are far from simple.
Is it true that Northern Xinjiang is not on the table?
There were countless transactions between Liu Yuntian and them.
As early as when Nalan Yumo acted as a middleman, they had already had many trade transactions with Liu Yuntian.
For example, the Liang State National Defense Army is equipped with magical instruments, low-level spiritual treasures, various elixirs, spiritual medicines, magical beasts, etc.
Liu Yuntian also sold a large number of items through their hands to all over the Qiyang Continent.
Although everyone knew these things, no one took the initiative to mention them.
However, they know that many things need no explanation.
What is given is not a reason, but a step.
If you expose this matter like a reckless young man, you will be demolishing your own step with your own hands.
The result will not change, and you will be the one who will be embarrassed in the end.
This group of experienced people had already understood the deep meaning behind Ruyi's words when he spoke, so they did not react.
"So I suggest that we invite the forces from the Northern Frontier to settle in Qiyang City together, so that we can trade with each other and develop together!"
Ruyi added the final polite words.
The other four sects had all received news about this matter from Liu Yuntian.
Not only does Liu Yuntian want to settle in Qi Yang City, he also wants to set up an auction house and even sell the foundation of the holy land!
Compared to the basics, this appetizer is just a formality!
What they care most about is the crazy thing Liu Yuntian is going to do next.
However, Wuji and Lin Ying did not know Liu Yuntian’s true thoughts. They only guessed that Liu Yuntian wanted to intervene in Qi Yang City.
Qiyang City stands in the center of Zhongzhou.
It is the shortest route to cross the east-west and north-south borders.
It is of great strategic significance, not to mention that this is the place where all the natural treasures on the Qiyang Continent are gathered and traded.
"Ruyi, do you know what this means?" Wuji said lightly.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but based on the current level of Northern Frontier... it is far from being qualified!"
Wuji's words were very pertinent. He did not speak for himself out of selfish motives, but spoke the truth.
There is no Mahayana master in the Northern Frontier nowadays, and the monopoly of a territory is nothing more than a tug of war between interests.
Before arousing other people's appetite, he invited national luck in time and put on a turtle shell for himself.
If this person wanted to settle in Qiyang City, if it were to be spread out,
Let's not talk about whether it will lower the level of the holy land.
This behavior is tantamount to sending a signal to the people below that as long as you dare to think and do it, you can do it!
For the Holy Land, this was undoubtedly a challenge to their authority, making it more difficult for them to control the Qi Yang Continent.
"I know you have complaints about the Six Gates selling salt and sugar... but our internal affairs still need to be resolved internally. Bringing outsiders in... aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?!"
After saying this, Wuji looked at the other four Saints, signaling them with his eyes to say something.
But the next moment he was stunned.
Because the other four saints didn't even look at him.
Everyone is busy with their own things!
For example: picking fingers, studying the "significant" teacup in front of you, and the "mysterious" roof...
The corner of his mouth twitched, and his eyes moved back and forth.
His brain was working rapidly, and he didn't understand what was going on with these four old foxes today.
In the past, if they heard that someone had touched their cakes, they would be as ferocious as the neighbor aunt’s little Teddy bear.
Why are you all pretending to be deaf and dumb today?
"outsider?"
Liu Yuntian exclaimed, then pulled the old monk Xuankong who was sitting beside him and asked, "Am I an outsider?"
Xuan Kong dodged repeatedly, trying his best to shake off Liu Yuntian's pull, with a look of disgust on his face.
Then he turned to look at Chen Yang, "Am I an outsider?"
"boom!"
Liu Yuntian slammed the table and stood up, loudly asking everyone, "Am I an outsider?!"
"What are you crazy about?!" Wuji shouted angrily.
However, Liu Yuntian didn't care and laughed at himself, "When they first came to divide my share of salt and sugar, they all wanted to treat me like a treasure..."
"Now that salt and sugar are everywhere, there is no profit, so I am an outsider?"
If the atmosphere is not right, I will act as a peacemaker.
"Everyone, why don't we follow the old rules and vote!"
Wuji took a deep breath, glanced at the other four Saint Lords, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, then let's vote by raising our hands!"
