After hearing what Cao De'an said, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.
"I really didn't expect that the demon world would make such a choice. This is even harder than killing them!" Yang Xuwen frowned.
"This makes me more and more uneasy. The demon world would never use such means in the past, but now it uses the hands of miscellaneous families to get rid of Fang Yun. There is only one possibility, that is, the rebel has achieved a certain status in the demon world and convinced the saints in the demon world. However, why is the demon world starting to pay attention to the rebel now?" Huang Zongyu said.
Most officials were puzzled, and some looked at Fang Yun.
Sheng Boyuan said: "What else could it be? Because they lost miserably and knew that the old methods could not defeat the human race, so they looked for new methods."
At this moment, all the officials came to their senses and looked at Fang Yun.
Over the years, the only person who could make the demon world lose all the time was Fang Yun. Even the saints couldn't do it.
Fang Yun didn't care about Sheng Boyuan's intentions and said, "It seems that the demon world was frightened after being beaten in the Burial Valley. If I'm not mistaken, it was the Demon King who mediated. This is a good thing, but it's not good enough."
Sheng Boyuan said, "The demon world has undergone new changes. They have become more thoughtful and cunning. How can this be a good thing for us humans?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "You don't know enough about the Ten Thousand Worlds and the Holy Way. The Yaoman seized the throne of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Worlds by pure strength and unity. Their Holy Way foundation is nothing but strength and unity. If they continue along this path, they may be able to reach a higher level and create greater glory. However, if they abandon their original Holy Way direction and start to quote the Holy Way of foreign races, they will inevitably run into big problems."
"What Saint Fang Xu said is totally unreasonable. Haven't we humans repeatedly borrowed and even quoted the holy teachings of foreign races? If you say so, the human race would have been destroyed long ago." Sheng Boyuan was a little unconvinced. Although he had a low academic rank, he was older after all.
Fang Yun said: "The foundation of the demon world is strength and unity. Strength is for oneself and blood, and unity refers to one's own race. We humans have many foundations, and the two most important ones are education and learning. It is precisely because humans can continue to learn and can inherit knowledge instead of blood, so we can easily learn the holy ways of the outside world, eliminate those that are not suitable for humans, and absorb those that are suitable for humans. How can the demons have this ability?"
"Can't the demon barbarian gradually change?"
"Change? Yes, but that will take tens of thousands of years. In other words, I hope the demons will change, because once they change, their holy ways will be in trouble in the next tens of thousands of years. In addition, do you know why the military saint died?"
"Wasn't he killed by the saints of the human race using the Mountain of Books? This is already known to everyone." Sheng Boyuan said.
"You only know one thing, not the other. With the wisdom of the Soldier Barbarian Saint, how could he leave the Monster Realm without a way to save his life? The root of this matter is that the Soldier Barbarian Saint has become an anomaly in the Monster Realm. Both the Saint Dao power of the Monster Barbarians themselves and the Monster Barbarian Saints are rejecting him, and he did not realize this biggest risk. He thought that he could slowly change the Monster Realm and strengthen the Monster Barbarians with his own strength. Unfortunately, he underestimated the time and cost of transforming the Monster Realm, and he left the Monster Realm when the rejection between the Monster Realm and the Saints was the most intense. In fact, he was abandoned by the Saints of the Monster Realm, so he died under the Book Mountain. If the Monster Realm and the Saints had tried to protect him, the human race could only severely damage him at that time."
"So that's how it is." Sheng Boyuan suddenly realized and stopped arguing. He sincerely accepted Fang Yun's statement.
However, the expressions of several great scholars and university officials present suddenly changed slightly and they looked at Fang Yun.
Cao Dean thought to himself, is Fang Yun hinting that he is the human race's military saint, and now he is being suppressed by the human race's saintly path, or is he not meaning this at all
Fang Yun seemed to see the expressions of those people, and said calmly: "I should thank the Sage of the Barbarians. If I hadn't followed his example, I wouldn't have understood this truth. So, before I make any changes, I should do everything I should do to avoid being rejected by the human race and the saints."
Everyone seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that the previous rumors were correct. Fang Yun had indeed reached a secret agreement with some halls of the Holy Academy. Their interests were bound together. Neither the aristocratic families nor the saints could completely exclude Fang Yun.
Sheng Boyuan said: "However, before you reached the other side, you were attacked by the Miscellaneous Family, the Li Palace, and the Demon Realm halfway across the river. The danger was no different from that of the Soldier Barbarian Saint."
"You still don't understand." Fang Yun glanced at Sheng Boyuan and didn't explain.
Sheng Boyuan's face suddenly turned red. He didn't expect Fang Yun to speak to him in this way. This was even more humiliating than scolding him in public.
Sheng Boyuan seemed to be about to get angry, but Zhang Poyue sneered and said, "Minister Sheng, you should read more military strategies. Reading too many old things will make your brain dull. If you think about this from the perspective of a military strategist, everything will be solved easily."
Sheng Boyuan's face flushed red, but it was not by chance that he could hold the position of Shangshu and become a Hanlin. He immediately used the military tactics he had learned to deduce the situation.
Soon, he had an idea, but there was a veil between him and the truth, and he could not really see through it.
Sheng Boyuan looked at the military strategists and found that most of them were deducing from the art of war. A few people had already understood Fang Yun's intention. Some looked at him with a smile, while others looked at Fang Yun in horror.
The rest of the officials also began to deduce, and one after another they came to conclusions, most of whom were military strategists and miscellaneous scholars.
Eventually, some of the younger officers gave up on the game and asked other officers why they were doing what they were doing.
Zhang Poyue glanced at the officials and said slowly: "In any large-scale reform, there will always be some who benefit and some who suffer, but when weighing two benefits, choose the greater one, and when weighing two harms, choose the lesser one. Therefore, whether it is our allies or enemies now, they are all personally selected by Fang Xusheng."
Sheng Boyuan and other people who hadn't figured it out were suddenly shocked and horrified. They never expected that Fang Yun could be so terrifying.
If what Zhang Poyue said was true, then Fang Yun's strategy had already surpassed that of a country or a region, and was even infinitely close to the peak of the human race.
What makes such a young man so full of strategies
In the history of the human race, there were some sages and geniuses who were not inferior to or even better than Fang Yun in some aspects when they were young. However, there has never been such a young person standing at the pinnacle of the human race.
This means that although Fang Yun cannot use the hundreds of families and tribes as chess pieces, and cannot control the major forces at will, he can already influence the entire game.
Fang Yun has already stepped out of the chess game and started looking at the world.
"I... don't believe it!" Sheng Boyuan's self-esteem took over and he couldn't believe this result.
"Whether you believe it or not, from the beginning of the reform, things may not have developed in the direction that is most favorable to Fang Xusheng, but they have never developed in the direction that is most unfavorable to Fang Xusheng."
As a master of military strategy, once Zhang Poyue looks at the problem from a military perspective and takes Fang Yun's previous reminder into consideration, he will be able to see the problem from a high vantage point and be unstoppable.
