The Dragon Clan chose the Jade Purity Sect to establish their authority this time, not without reason, and the reason was indeed quite convincing, at least it could not be said to be nonsense. It was also because of this that after the Dragon Clan made some moves, both the Jade Purity Sect as the "party involved" and the bystanders in the domain could guess that the Dragon Clan wanted to establish their authority.
However, for the dragon clan, Yuqingzong is not the only choice when it comes to establishing prestige, nor is it the most suitable one among many choices.
Among the many sects in the Shenhua Domain, the Yuqing Sect is neither the most powerful nor has the reputation of leading the sects in the world. It also has no obvious hatred or conflict of interest with the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan wants to establish prestige, and the purpose of establishing prestige is to make others fear them, so naturally they should choose the object to establish prestige from these aspects, rather than grabbing someone from the upper reaches to establish prestige.
In other words, if the Dragon Clan uses Yu Qingzong to establish its power, it will certainly show a certain power after success. But the power they displayed may not be enough to truly intimidate the entire domain, let alone those outside the domain.
Of course, there is also a very obvious benefit to using Yu Qingzong to establish his authority. Although the effect of establishing prestige will not be the best, the success rate will be relatively high. If Yuqingzong didn't have these trump cards, everything would be as it appears, and it would be very difficult for any accident to happen.
However, the term "pursuing "insurance" may not be appropriate when applied to the Dragon Clan. Not to mention how crazy the Dragon Clan's temperament is, there are more than forty Dharma-level and Heaven-reaching powerhouses. Let alone a sect in a domain, even if the power of a domain is really gathered here, it may be difficult to compete with the Dragon Clan in terms of strength.
Therefore, Ye Zan had to suspect that there might be some other reasons why the Dragon Clan chose Yu Qingzong as the person to establish their authority.
As for the reason, Ye Zan actually had a guess in his mind, especially when he heard that the other party moved out of Xianting. However, guesses are just guesses after all. The dragon clan guessed that Yu Qingzong had such strength on his face. Wouldn't this result be a slap in the face
So, Ye Zan asked Ao Yu this question directly.
"If you lose, you lose. Since we have been defeated by you, there is no point in talking about anything else. Whatever compensation you want and what guarantee you want, you can just put it forward." Ao Yu proposed to Ye Zan He avoided answering the questions and just talked about the two points of compensation and guarantee as if he were resigned to his fate.
In Ao Yu's view, the first of the three conditions put forward by Ye Zan is just to satisfy curiosity, while the last two are the most important ones that really relate to actual interests. Although curiosity is often tempting, in the face of real practical interests, it has no value at all and can be completely ignored.
However, Ye Zan was not as easy to fool as Ao Yu thought.
"Compensation and guarantee can be discussed later, and the premise of the negotiation is that you must be sincere enough. I just want to know why the Dragon Clan chose me, the Yuqing Sect, to establish its authority. This is not a difficult question to answer, right? ?" Ye Zan was very insistent and brought the topic back to the first condition, showing that he would not give up until he could get an answer.
Indeed, relatively speaking, the Dragon Clan's compensation and guarantees are the most practical things for the Yuqing Sect today. But there is a saying that "people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries." Ye Zan really wanted to confirm his guess, because it might be related to some of the future development directions of Yuqing Sect.
Today's Yuqing Sect, to be blunt, as long as it continues to develop at this pace, it is not impossible to return to the top. However, if something unexpected happens during this process, it disrupts Yu Qingzong's steps. And the Yuqing Sect has no preparations. Returning to the top may be a luxury hope, and whether it can even keep everything it has now will become a problem.
Seeing Ye Zan's persistence, Ao Yu's face became a little ugly, even though it wasn't very good-looking to begin with. He glanced around and saw several Dharma ministers holding the chains on his body. His eyes returned to Ye Zan and said, "I think there are some things that you should not get to the bottom of."
"Haha, Prince Ao, when you say this, I am even more curious. Moreover, I am more sure that there is indeed a problem here, right?" After hearing Ao Yu's warning, Ye Zan was even more sure of what he was thinking. guess.
"What's the problem? Our clan wanted to establish its power in the outside world, so we chose the Yuqing Sect, which is currently in the limelight. Isn't this normal?" Ao Yu frowned slightly and defended a bit harshly.
"Prince Ao, have you ever heard that our human race has an idiom called 'There is no three hundred taels of silver here'?" Ye Zan asked slightly sarcastically.
In fact, for the question raised by Ye Zan, even if Ao Yu didn't want to tell the truth, he could have used other excuses to deal with it. For example, let's say it was decided by drawing lots, or it was thought of after seeing Qianli Chuanshen. Anyway, Yuqingzong couldn't use the soul-searching technique on him.
However, Ao Yu might have been disdainful and just avoided Ye Zan's questions, which made it appear that something was really going on here. Of course, there is another point here, that is, Ao Yu does not have a very strong desire to keep this issue secret.
Sure enough, after being ridiculed by Ye Zan, Ao Yu did not continue to pretend to be stupid, but shook his head and said: "I can't tell you the reason, you can guess."
In fact, Ao Yu must have been very dissatisfied with the "reason" when it came to choosing Yu Qingzong to establish his authority.
Just because of that "reason", the dragon clan chose such an opponent, and as a result, their own face was stripped bare. Although the big responsibility here lies in the Dragon Clan’s lack of understanding of the Yuqing Sect, isn’t that what “human nature” is like? When things go wrong, you will inevitably look for reasons other than yourself.
I can’t tell, but you can guess!
When the other party said these eight words, Ye Zan already knew the answer in his heart. He raised his finger and pointed to the sky above his head and said: "It seems that someone wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
Of course, there was nothing above this space, but when Ye Zan made this gesture, everyone present could instantly understand what it meant. What's on it? sky! For ascetics, what does "heaven" mean? Immortal Court!
In fact, the answer to Ye Zan's question is not very difficult to guess. When Xuanyuan Daozu went to the outer world, he once said that the Yuqing Sect had many enemies. Those enemies were provoked by the Four Mysteries of Yuqing in the outer realm ten thousand years ago, and I am afraid that many of them are at the level of Earth Immortal Taoist Ancestors.
The Outer Realm is not like the Shenhua Realm, which has experienced the catastrophes thousands of years ago, but it is also difficult to tolerate the existence of earthly immortals under the shackles of heaven and earth. Therefore, as long as those earthly immortal Taoist ancestors in the outer realm did not die early, they were basically taken over by the Immortal Court. And among those Earth Immortal Taoist Ancestors, there must be those enemies offended by Yu Qing Si Xuan.
Those enemies of the Yuqing Sect left this hatred to the descendants of the sect in the "mortal world", but it did not mean that he himself did not hate the Yuqing Sect. However, due to the shackles of heaven and earth, the Earthly Immortal Taoist Ancestor could not "go down to the lower realm" to personally take revenge on the Yuqing Sect. Moreover, Xianting has a plan to open up the outer world, and it is impossible for anyone to contact the "mortal world".
This is why the Yuqing Sect has not encountered revenge from this "karma" in these ten thousand years.
But having said that, the Yuqing Sect has lived a very miserable life during these ten thousand years, and even almost lost its lineage. Those enemies in Immortal Court, if they could see all this, I'm afraid they would be very happy in their hearts, and naturally they would not risk taking revenge again.
However, after opening the passage to the outer world, the Yuqing Sect finally followed the "turn of fortune" and actually climbed up from a third-rate sect. Presumably during this period, those people in the Immortal Court who hated the Four Mysteries of Yuqing would be itchy with hatred when they saw that Yuqing Sect had turned around.
Again, immortals are also human beings. This "human" may not be a human being at the biological and genetic level, but it is still no different from human beings from a spiritual level. They will also have joys and sorrows, and obsessions that are difficult to resolve, and they will also keep a hatred in their hearts for tens of thousands of years.
Seeing Ye Zan pointing at the sky, Ao Yu naturally knew what it meant, so he nodded without concealing anything and said, "I didn't say it, this is just your guess."
Can the fairy court see everything in the "mortal world"? Of course, it is impossible for those who have never been an immortal to have a clear answer. No one knows whether in the real fairy court, there are also the mythical clairvoyance and ears to inquire about everything in the mortal world.
But one thing is certain, that is, when the immortal is mentioned to himself, it is said that he can feel something in his heart. In fact, not only the level of true immortals, but also the powerful ones at the level of Tongtian Supreme, will also feel when others mention themselves.
It is precisely because of this that Ao Yu answered Ye Zan's question in such an obscure way. Otherwise, if he pours beans out of a bamboo tube and tells everything without any cover-up, there is a 80% chance that the Immortal Court will be affected. Since the Dragon Clan obeyed the other party's instructions and came to trouble the Yuqing Sect in a prestige way, they were unwilling to offend the other party.
"The dragon clan left the Yunhai Realm this time and prepared to go to the outer world. Could it be that they obtained the decree of the Immortal Court?" Ye Zan further confirmed. Although he only asked about the Dragon Clan's trip to the outer world, he actually meant to inquire about the other party's identity.
The Immortal Court issued a decree to the Dragon Clan. No matter how much they looked down on the Dragon Clan, it was impossible for just anyone to issue this decree. Just like in the secular world, a person who can write an imperial edict for the emperor does not say how much actual power he has, but his status must not be low.
Therefore, if dealing with something like Yu Qingzong was hinted at in the decree, I am afraid that the opponent's status in the Immortal Court would be quite high. Although, no matter whether the opponent is an Earth Immortal, a True Immortal, or a Daluo Golden Immortal, there is nothing the Yuqing Sect can do against the opponent. However, being able to know the approximate identity of the other party will still have some benefits after all. At least the Yuqing Sect can be mentally prepared.
"The Immortal Court's decree only said that our clan should gather strength and go to the outer world to serve as soon as possible." Ao Yu nodded and said.
Ao Yu's answer actually seems to be somewhat inconsistent with Ye Zan's question, even though they are all about the decrees of the Immortal Court. After all, Ye Zan only asked whether he had obtained the decree, but Ao Yu answered the content of the decree.
However, the word "just say" in Ao Yu's words answered the underlying question in Ye Zan's question. That means that when it comes to dealing with the Yuqing Sect, there are no explicit or covert instructions in the Immortal Court's decree. In other words, the decree of the Immortal Court is to handle official business, but dealing with the Yuqing Sect is something else that someone has ordered.
"I see, then, Prince Ao, we can discuss the next two conditions. As long as the Dragon Clan can satisfy our clan, I am not someone who will do everything right. It is not impossible to preserve some dignity for the Dragon Clan. "Ye Zan did not ask any more questions about the main messenger, but took the initiative to move the topic to the last two conditions.
Regarding the two issues of compensation and guarantee, Ye Zan gave the Dragon Clan a temptation first, that is, the Dragon Clan's dignity in this matter. This dignity is no longer about spreading the video, but the dragon clan's face as the loser.
After all, the Dragon Clan failed to establish its power, and it fell into the hands of the little Yuqing Sect. Even without those videos, just the spread of this result would be enough to embarrass the Dragon Clan. Therefore, for the Dragon Clan, if there is any way to save some face on this issue, it would definitely be very tempting.
"Oh, I wonder what you mean by this?" Ao Yu's cold face finally softened at this moment, apparently moved by Ye Zan's words.
You know, as the leader of this operation, Ao Yu must have unshirkable responsibility for this result.
So what if he is the Dragon Prince of Yunhai Dragon Palace? You have lost the face of the entire dragon clan! It can be said that if this matter is not handled properly, not only Ao Yu, but also Yunhai Dragon Palace will become the sinner of the entire Dragon Clan.
But now that I heard that the other party seemed to be intending to make this result of the Dragon Clan not too ugly, I wonder if Ao Yu would be moved by it.
"Well, it depends on whether the Dragon Clan is sincere enough. If the Dragon Clan's sincerity is enough to make up for the loss of our sect, then maybe in the ears of outsiders, this matter is just a very ordinary visit, or in other words You can’t get to know each other without fighting,” Ye Zan further explained.
In fact, Ye Zan really doesn't have much hatred towards the Dragon Clan. Even though the two sides fought like this, they didn't have to step each other into the mud. Of course, this is also because Yu Qingzong is now the victorious party and has not paid any price that requires blood.
