"Haha, Prince, don't worry. Four Taoist friends are guests in our sect, and our sect will not treat them lightly. But if the 'guests' become 'evil guests', our sect will not be slapped on the other cheek, but also Give me the right cheek."
Although Ye Zan's words did not say anything clearly, they actually recognized Ao Yu's statement. He didn't ask for any conditions from the other party just because he had the other party's four "hostages" in his hands.
Ye Zan actually knew very well that the four Dragon Clan prisoners alone were not enough to ask the Dragon Clan to do too much. If you think that relying on the lives of these four captives, the Dragon Clan can bow to the Yuqing Sect, that is simply wishful thinking. The four captives were valuable to the Dragon Clan. Although they could not be discarded easily, their value was not so high that they could not be discarded.
No matter in which world, there is often a saying that "life is priceless". But in fact, "life is priceless" is only relative to individuals, that is, you think your own life is priceless. Moreover, even individuals often set a value or price for their own lives, of course, often out of helplessness.
For a group, if individual life must be combined with the interests of the group, then individual life will have a relative "price." For example, if a plane crashes and the victims need compensation, we can't just say "life is priceless" and just provide unlimited compensation. Then, the lives of those victims must have a "price" here.
Therefore, from the perspective of the Dragon Clan, the lives of the four Dragon Clan prisoners will also have a value measure. For example, it is impossible for the Dragon Clan to put down the majesty of the Dragon Clan and bow to the Yuqing Sect for the sake of the four of them, and give up their plan to return to the realm of the heavens. Compared with the overall development prospects of the dragon clan, the lives of the four dragon clan powerful men cannot be "priceless".
However, it is impossible for the Dragon Clan to say, "If you, the Yuqing Sect, want to kill or cut into pieces, we will do whatever we have to do." In the end, we still have to make a certain degree of compromise to the Yuqing Sect based on the value of the four Dragon Clan captives. . This compromise, of course, cannot be about bowing down and admitting defeat. It only offsets Ao Yu's previous threats, which can be called outside threats.
In fact, from the dragon clan's point of view, whether it is to besiege Yuqingzong, liquidate Yuqingzong's allies, or wipe out Yuqingzong's industry within the entire domain, they can only be regarded as the last resort in the choice. In other words, the Dragon Clan would only do these things when there was really nothing they could do against Yu Qingzong, and doing these things at the same time would not bring much benefit.
However, in the previous confrontation with the Yuqing Sect, the Dragon Clan really had no choice. If these threats could not make Yu Qingzong bow, then they would have no choice but to turn the threats into reality. However, as Ye Zan took out the four dragon balls, Ao Yu had to weigh the interests again and finally gave up those threats.
I won’t threaten you anymore, and don’t threaten me with those four prisoners. Let’s decide the difference here openly, fairly and fairly!
This is what Ao Yu expressed to Ye Zan after he had no choice but to make the final choice in the face of the threat from Yu Qingzong.
Using a large formation to decide the outcome is not unusual, nor is it without precedent.
I've set up a big formation here, and you attack and I defend to differentiate between high and low. If you die in the formation, it's because of your incompetence, and if you break my formation, it's because of my lack of skill. In this world, many forces or individuals will use methods similar to this when resolving some grudges and conflicts.
This is like many similar scenes that have appeared in some literary and artistic works in the world of science and technology. For example, in the famous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Ren deployed an eight-door golden lock formation, which was later broken by Xu Shu, who transformed himself into a man of fortune. There are also the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation set up by Sanxiao, the Immortal Killing Formation set up by Tongtian Cult Leader, etc. in the "Bang of the Gods".
Relatively speaking, this method of decisive victory by setting up and breaking formations is somewhat between civil and martial arts. It is neither as harmonious as civil martial arts nor as unruly as martial arts.
Of course, between the Dragon Clan and the Yuqing Sect, there is no other choice but to use this formation to decide the outcome.
If the Dragon Clan can break through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation, then everyone in the Yuqing Sect will be nothing but meat on the chopping board, and will have no other ability to resist. If the Dragon Clan cannot break through this formation, and cannot use any outside tactics due to the matter of the four prisoners, then there will be no hope of establishing any authority.
Seeing that Ye Zan agreed immediately, the two parties had reached a consensus on this matter, but Ao Yu couldn't help but feel very angry. After all, a previous confrontation had proven that there really wasn't much that the Dragon Clan could do against the Jade Qing Sect's formation. Otherwise, he would not choose the most embarrassing way and attempt to threaten Yuqingzong with allies and Yuqingzong's industry.
But there is no way, that last resort has already hurt the face of the Dragon Clan. If the lives of four more members of the same clan are ruined because of this, then the Dragon Clan will really lose all face. Face is something that seems to be illusory and has no practical significance, but no one can really ignore its existence. After all, face is not only face, but also closely related to various practical interests.
"Hmph, don't think that, relying on that big formation to survive until now, we really can't do anything to your Yuqing Sect! Next, your sect had better treat them as honored guests. If they lose half a hair, When we break the formation, your entire sect will be buried with us!"
Ao Yu said a harsh word, turned around, led all the powerful dragons, and walked away on the clouds into the distance. The previous confrontations have proven that if they continue to bombard them blindly, they will not be able to break the formation at least in a short period of time. Therefore, he had to retreat temporarily with the dragons in order to plan the long-term way to break the formation.
"Slowly go without seeing me off, welcome to visit next time!"
Looking at the powerful dragon clan members flying away, Ye Zan's projection said something in the distance, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant, just like a TV power outage.
The Dragon Clan quickly retreated into the distance and returned to the place where they had previously discussed countermeasures.
But compared to before, all the dragon masters at this time seemed a little dull, without the anger and clamor before.
Although, from the bottom of their hearts, they may feel that the lives of the four fellow humans may not be completely irredeemable. In other words, they didn't think that even if they did follow the original threat, the other party would really dare to take the lives of those four people.
However, everything is unpredictable. No matter what you think in your heart, you can't really say these words. If anyone says it, if there is an "in case" that causes those four people of the same clan to be buried in Tongtian Peak, I am afraid that someone will have to bear the responsibility.
The best way, or the person who said this, at least in the eyes of other dragon clan powerful men, is Ao Yu, the Dragon Prince of Yunhai.
But the problem is, Ao Yu is not a fool.
Ao Yu knew very well in his heart that if he really did something like disregarding the lives of his fellow clan members, he would simply be extirpating himself from the dragon clan.
It’s not easy to be a leader either!
In fact, in this case, the best way is for someone to take the initiative to make suggestions. Then, as a leader, Ao Yu first reprimanded the other party in an upright manner, and then, in a dilemma, was semi-"forced" to make that choice. In this way, the deserved benefits will be obtained, and the infamy can be borne by the people below.
However, in the current dragon team, although Ao Yu is the leader of the team, he is not the leader who has absolute control over the "team members". We are all of the same race, uncles and brothers. He himself does not want to bear this infamy, and the other uncles and brothers also do not want to bear this infamy.
"What should we do next?" In desperation, seeing that no one was willing to speak, Ao Yu had to take the initiative to ask them for suggestions.
"If not, we will follow the previous method and send more Sea Clan into the battle. Or, in addition to sending the Sea Clan, we can also allocate some people to lead the Sea Clan into the battle." Everyone said After a moment of silence, Suijiang Dragon King reluctantly stood up and expressed his suggestion.
Suijiang Dragon King is also in a bad mood now. After all, the four captured compatriots were captured when they came to Yuqing Sect with him. Although, in a strict sense, he did not need to bear any responsibility, he still felt that the eyes of the people around him were not right.
The dragon race is actually about the same as the human race. Since they are all intelligent beings, it is inevitable that there will be "emotion" in addition to "reason".
Therefore, although from a logical point of view, the Dragon King of Suijiang did nothing wrong, and he was not the person responsible for the capture of the four fellow clan members. However, from an emotional point of view, the five of you came to Yuqingzong together, and then you escaped alone, but four of your fellow clan members were captured. How could you not be responsible
Of course, Ao Yu did not mean to blame Suijiang Dragon King. After all, the "leadership" still had a different perspective from the "mass". From Ao Yu's perspective as a "leader", if the Suijiang Dragon King had been captured together, it would undoubtedly increase the leverage on the Yuqing Sect, and that would be a real trap.
However, although he was not biased, Ao Yu did not agree much with Suijiang Dragon King's suggestion. After all, no matter how cannon fodder the Sea Clan is, they are still the Sea Clan in the Yunhai Domain and the property of their Yunhai Dragon Palace. The previous two batches of sea people were sent into the formation, but not even a wave was seen. If they continue to send in, how much will be considered enough.
"In my opinion, let's just join the formation together. No matter how mysterious his formation is, with our strength, there is nothing to fear!" A powerful dragon man next to him seemed to be tired of this kind of temptation, so A more direct suggestion for breaking the formation was put forward.
"I think what Brother Jinghai said is true! If there weren't those weird magic weapons outside the big formation, we would not have much difficulty if we just attacked and broke through the formation from outside. However, those weird magic weapons... It's like trapping us in the formation, making it difficult for us to exert our full strength. In this case, we might as well just enter the formation and break it from within." Another dragon clan expert said. He very much agreed with the suggestion of joining the battle, and further expressed his attitude.
Indeed, due to the suspended turret, when the dragons attack the formation from outside, it feels like they are trapped in the formation. As a result, their advantages outside the formation have also been greatly reduced. No one can ignore the threat of the floating turret and use all their strength to attack the formation.
Since there is no advantage in breaking the formation outside the formation, then why stick to this path.
You know, there are dozens of powerful people on the Dragon Clan side. Even if they enter the formation to break it, they probably won't pose much of a threat. In particular, the Jade Qing Sect couldn't produce many corresponding powerful ones. It was their limit to deal with the sea tribe's soldiers and generals just by relying on those disciples.
Of course, this is because the Dragon Clan has no real understanding of the strength of the Yuqing Sect, so they have such an idea. They don't know that in addition to the well-known Qingyue Sword Sect and Arctic Sword Sect, the Yuqing Sect also has two allies, the Tianbao Sect and the Moyi Sect.
If the Dragon Clan had known early on that the Yuqing Sect also had an ally like the Moi Sect, they probably would not have chosen the Yuqing Sect as the person to establish their power. Even if they cannot establish their authority in the Divine Flower Realm, there are so many large and small realms in the world, and the Divine Flower Realm is not the only choice for the Dragon Clan.
However, there is a saying that goes well, "It's hard to buy something if you have money." People will always say afterwards, "If I had known it, I would have done it." But the problem is, where are there so many "early knowers"? If everyone could "early knowers", the world would not be like this.
Hearing what Dragon King Jinghai said, Ao Yu couldn't help but nodded slightly. Apparently he understood the reason, or maybe this was the only choice that wasn't a bad choice.
There are not many choices available to the Dragon Clan now. They can either repeat what they did before, ignore the lives of their four fellow clan members, or bow their heads to the Yu Qing Sect and admit defeat. Compared with those choices, everyone joins the battle to fight. Although it seems a bit risky, what can you do without taking risks
"Well, this is a way. I will dispatch a few turtle tribes from the Yunhai Realm. I think they can be helpful in breaking the formation." After thinking for a moment, Ao Yu finally decided on the next method of breaking the formation. At the same time, I also added a layer of insurance to this suggestion.
The Turtle Clan has some innate advantages in formations. Even if they have not learned the formations of the human race, they can still see through the hidden things in some formations with their own talents. Why is it that almost every Dragon King has a "Turtle Prime Minister" next to him? Isn't it because turtles have a long lifespan, and no matter how long they live, they can outlast real dragons? Wisdom is one aspect, and formation talent is also one of the reasons.
