Chapter 2182 The small bullying the big?
Qu Lingzhu did not directly answer the question of the Dharma Protector, but asked a question in return.
"Since this is the backlash of the Forgotten Peninsula, can we assume that the forbidden area can withstand the infiltration of the demons?"
"This..." The Dharma Protector pondered for a moment and did not give a direct answer.
Deep down in his heart, he did not think that the power of the forbidden land was infinite, but Lord Qu Ling's question seemed to have profound meaning.
Zhu Shan Zhenxian said, "We just hope that it can withstand the siege of the demons, but the result remains to be verified."
In fact, he also believed that some small tests could still be done on the Forgotten Peninsula to confirm more situations.
However, the guardian of the precepts is from the Star Palace, and it is his own decision. It is only natural that he does not want others to target the Forgotten Peninsula too much.
Especially Hongyeling's audacity is really shocking. He can really do anything.
"I may not release the demons again," Qu Jianlei said seriously, "Actually, releasing them on a small scale is not a big problem."
"The point is, I may need to do some other tests, so there's no guarantee that I won't go to the Forgotten Peninsula."
Upon hearing this, Immortal Zhu Shan nodded slightly, and then glanced at Immortal San He secretly - Are you not done pretending to be dumb yet?
The third pavilion master was helpless and looked at his junior sister: You go ahead!
Master Yulin could only bite the bullet and speak, "Master Qu Ling, do you have any ideas for your next move?"
As long as the other party can give some reasons, she will support them. If it involves secrets and they don't want to tell...she won't lose anything, right?
Qu Jianlei was silent for a few breaths before he slowly spoke, "I just want to ask, who owes whom between the Forgotten Peninsula and this world?"
When this question was asked, many people had already vaguely guessed what he was going to say. After all, they were all from the Big Five, so who lacked a little knowledge?
The Dharma protectors were at a loss to answer and could only look at the War Hall Master - you go ahead!
I am not good at reasoning in the Zhantang! Master Hu felt a little helpless, but he could only make do with a few words.
"Master Qu Ling, I don't think there is any such thing as who owes whom. There is cause and effect between heaven and earth."
"I'm afraid not," Duo Gan continued, "First there was the Cangwu Realm, then there was the Forgotten Forbidden Land. We still have to talk about who came first."
When Master Hu saw that Master Qu Ling ignored him and instead a Kun cultivator Nascent Soul came forward, he felt somewhat looked down upon.
So he defended himself by saying, "This is the work of the higher realm... Hey, there are comprehensive considerations."
Just from his tone, one can sense that he is not so unconditionally convinced of the higher realm, he just has to take sides.
"So what about the upper realm?" Duogan's mind and eloquence are top-notch in Qu Jianlei's team.
"Instead of talking about first come first served, using a small world to bully a larger world, I'm very curious, what qualifications does the Forgotten Peninsula have to bite back at our world?"
This question is indeed a bit sharp.
No one could really answer, and in the end it was Sanjiang Duguan who responded, "A cultivator's practice is also against the will of heaven, so why should he fear cause and effect?"
This is obviously a compromise, but it is at least an answer.
Duogan glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Master Duguan is right, but I am just a cultivator and cannot understand aliens."
"I have empathy for cultivators, but I cannot empathize with small worlds. I will be even more determined to kill the Heavenly Demons... After all, we are not of the same kind."
The Sanjiang governor was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that the other party, an ordinary Nascent Soul, would answer so sharply.
But he was a big shot, so he just smiled and didn't argue with the other party - it would be too undignified.
At this time, the loyal dog of the chief steward should have stepped forward and said, "Daoyou Duogan is wrong!"
"The small world is not a demon world. The Forgotten Peninsula can provide many opportunities and is beneficial to cultivators."
"Some people also died," Dogan's words were not given in vain, even though she knew that the other party was a lurking "friendly army".
"A small world should behave like a small world. It's not a cultivator. Look at the Cangwu world... Does it have such a bad temper?"
When asked, the fool kept silent and pretended that he could not win the argument.
However, the truth is really hard to explain. Dogan personified the Forgotten Peninsula, and some people felt that something was wrong.
Cultivators are cultivators, and realms are realms. This kind of backlash... does seem a bit weird.
It's not that everyone hadn't thought about it before, but the word "upper realm" was too heavy, so even if they had some thoughts, they didn't dare to think too much about it.
But now that I think about it, I feel that this is really true.
Especially the sentence "the small world bullies the big world", if we expand our thinking, maybe dealing with the Forgotten Peninsula can bring joy to the other worlds.
However, although this is a good idea, the upper realm has been looming over our heads for how many tens of thousands of years?
The weight of this accumulated power is simply unimaginable to those who have not experienced it.
In the end, Master Yulin had to step in to cover up the problem. "Daoyou Duogan, please be patient."
"I suggest that we should be cautious in this matter. If the Forgotten Peninsula has a more intense reaction, it may lead to a greater disaster."
Duo Gan looked at her and said calmly, "Master once hunted down the Out-of-Body Demon with us, so we can be considered close comrades."
"You've also seen how we got rid of the Out-of-Body Demon. Can the Forgotten Peninsula withstand it?"
When everyone heard this, their faces changed. Everyone knew everything about Hongyeling's past actions.
Upon hearing this, the Dharma Protector had no choice but to speak. He narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, "Do you still have that kind of method?"
The means to destroy a Great Master who has reached the state of Out-of-Body Realm - even if it is just a serious injury, it should not be readily available, right?
"Maybe, maybe not." Dorgan took a step back, indicating that he did not want to offend anyone anymore. "Ask our boss."
The Dharma Protector who kept the precepts had hit a snag, and he couldn't get angry, so he could only look at the Immortal Zhu Dan.
The vice president of the academy turned his head and was whispering something with the elder of Beihai - in fact, he was just pretending not to see it.
So he could only look to Master Yulin. The Sanjiang governor of the Taoist Palace was a sly guy and could not be relied upon.
Master Yulin also had a very strange expression. She hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "But in that case, will the Cangwu Realm still exist?"
This is the core issue. Others have only heard about it, but she has truly witnessed the power of the explosion.
"The only thing we can do is... minimize the damage," Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly.
This is really very ruthless. How many cultivators and mortals are there in Cangwu Realm? How innocent are they?
However, Qu Jianlei has his own logic, he said calmly.
"I don't think that a being who actively strengthens his demonic energy can have much mercy on the people of Cangwu."
"In order to prevent it from forming a pincer attack with the Sky Demon, we will destroy it if necessary. We don't have any psychological pressure."
"Of course, we may not be able to do it. Anyway, it doesn't know how to pity humans, so why should we pity it?"
Can't you do it? The cultivators present had a scale in their hearts and would not think this was the truth.
Then Qu Jianlei looked at the Dharma Protector and said, "So we hope that your Highness can evacuate the people around the peninsula as soon as possible."
Damn it... The Dharma protector who observes the precepts just felt a bitter taste in his mouth. How did the situation turn out like this?
Of course he could use the upper realm as a shield, but considering the lawlessness of these people, would they really care?
If they were really afraid of the upper realm, how could they possibly think of destroying the Forgotten Peninsula that was so important to them?
Given this understanding, he could only try to reason with the other party, "On behalf of the Star Palace, I would like to say that we attach great importance to your ideas!"
"But I still suggest you be cautious and hold off on any action. I will report it as soon as I get back, and I hope there will be a perfect result."
He really didn't want to bring up the upper realm anymore, but in the current situation, he had no choice.
"The Dharma protectors are worrying too much," Qu Jianlei replied sternly, "I've already said that I won't do anything ruthless unless it's absolutely necessary."
The Dharma protectors who observe the precepts did not think that this was a sign of surrender - it was impossible for the other party to be so ruthless in the first place!
So what the other party said was just a basic explanation.
As expected, Lord Qu Ling immediately said, "But I'll have to trouble you to pay attention to the matter of relocating the residents."
“You…” The Dharma Protector was helpless. “There’s no need to be so impulsive. You can take your time.”
Then his expression straightened up, "Master Jiang gets along well with your party, we can communicate first if there is anything."
Then he looked at Zhu Dan again, "Old friend, you can say something too."
The vice president was a little helpless. "What can I say about this situation? The facts are right here."
"How about this, let's open the Ascension Platform directly and see if we can send a group of people up there."
The Dharma Protector shook his head without hesitation, "It's not the right time, that's impossible."
"Then I have no other choice," Zhu Shan Zhenxian said without hesitation, "When the situation becomes desperate, the worst that can happen to the academy is that we will close the mountain."
This is the fundamental difference between the Four Sacred Mountains and the Star Palace. Once the former is closed, it can basically protect itself.
Of course, if a major disaster occurs, closing the mountain may not be useful, but Cangwu would definitely be devastated by then.
But the Star Palace is responsible for the affairs of the entire Cangwu. They cannot close the mountain at will and must hold on until the last moment.
In the opinion of the vice-president, as long as Hongyeling's methods cannot destroy the entire Cangwu world, the Academy of Arts will have no problem protecting itself.
After all, the Four Sacred Mountains do not bear such a heavy responsibility, so the pressure is not particularly great.
The Dharma Guardian looked at him and was silent for a full half minute before he sighed softly, "You can give the collected aura to the Master of Magic."
"It must be handed over," Zhu Dan glanced at Qu Jianlei, "Master Qu Ling, are you interested in meeting Master Shuzun?"
That ancient golden spirit? Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, secretly sensing the emotions of others.
The person he paid the most attention to was Daogong Huazhu, but Wen Yu's expression was dull and there was no reaction on his face.
No reaction is the best reaction. At least it shows that this guy doesn't think Mu Zun is suspicious.
The next people Qu Jianlei paid attention to were Master Yulin and the Third Pavilion Master.
He noticed that the two of them did exchange glances, but they were very plain and nothing could be seen.
So, should we agree to this request or not?
