Chapter 1444 Mutual Benefit
Seeing Lei Yunze rushing out of the door, King Xiaoyao hesitated to speak.
But it was Xiao Mian who spoke first.
"Senior Lei! Wait a minute!"
"Humph! What? You don't send troops to help, but you still want to humiliate me, Lei?"
As he spoke, Lei Yunze suddenly turned around.
Staring at Xiao Mian, Lei Yunze's energy was as violent as thunder.
Obviously, if there was a disagreement, Lei Yunze didn't mind a fight.
Even if King Xiaoyao, the eighth-level demon king, was here, he didn't mind!
"Senior Lei! From a geographical point of view: although Lei Ji Tan and Xiaoyao Ocean are neighbors, there is a sea of wind and thunder between them. On the other hand, the Golden Wind Sea is flat with Lei Ji Tan. King Jinfeng is a ninth-level demon king, and King Xiaoyao is just an eighth-level small demon king. Even if Lei Ji Tan needs help, senior should go to the Golden Wind Sea, right?"
"This..."
Xiao Mian's words really touched Lei Yunze's heart.
When Silver Thunder King sent Lei Yunze to Xiaoyaoyang for help, Lei Yunze had expressed similar doubts.
At that time, Silver Thunder King also hesitated, but it was Lei Zhen Palace Thunder God who came to help Lei Ji Tan, who insisted that Lei Yunze come to Xiaoyaoyang for help.
After all, Thunder God was a guest, so even Silver Thunder King couldn't be too decisive.
So, Lei Yunze came to Xiaoyaoyang in a daze...
"Thunder God?"
After listening to Lei Yunze's explanation, Xiao Mian smiled knowingly.
Just like Xiao Mian knew that it was Lei Zhen Palace that came to help Lei Ji Tan, Lei Shen also knew that it was his South Vietnam Army that came to help Xiaoyaoyang.
Lei Shen insisted on letting Lei Yunze come to Xiaoyaoyang for help. Could there be another meaning?
That's it!
No matter what, Lei Ji Tan must be visited!
Even if it's not for Lei Ji Tan, it's for Lei Zhen Palace!
Even if it's not for Silver Thunder King, it's for Lei Shen's trust!
"King Xiaoyao! Prepare for battle!"
"..., OK!"
King Xiaoyao, who had been unwilling to express his opinion in the face of Lei Yunze's soft and hard persuasion, readily agreed to send troops to Leijitan after Xiao Mian's words.
This time, Lei Yunze was a little overwhelmed.
Looking at King Xiaoyao and then at Xiao Mian, Lei Yunze was full of doubts.
This kid is the kid known as Nanyue Xiao Mian?
He doesn't have three heads and six arms!
Why does my king respect him so much, and Thunder God trusts him, and even the current King Xiaoyao listens to him?
Wait!
Before, I was only concerned about rushing into the King Xiaoyao Palace, and didn't care about the periphery of Xiaoyao Ocean. The blood tide receded - could it be that it was the work of Nanyue Xiao Mian?
Otherwise, why would King Xiaoyao rely on it so much?
If so, Leijitan is saved...
My king!
Yunze, fortunately, you have fulfilled your mission!
Thinking of this, Lei Yunze breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, the seventh-level transformed demon actually collapsed to the ground.
Xiao Mian's face changed slightly, and he helped Lei Yunze up.
After a little analysis, Xiao Mian knew that Lei Yunze was relieved.
In the past few days, Lei Yunze traveled day and night, ignoring the loss of demon essence along the way, and flew away quickly. In addition, he was worried about the battle in Lei Ji Tan, which made Lei Yunze even more nervous.
After arriving at Xiaoyao Ocean, King Xiaoyao hesitated.
Lei Yunze thought that this mission had failed and felt sad.
Now that King Xiaoyao agreed to send troops to Lei Ji Tan, Lei Yunze was relieved, just like a tight bow that suddenly relaxed.
Under the double destruction of spirit and body, Lei Yunze was unconscious.
After sending a ball of longevity water into Lei Yunze's body, Xiao Mian handed Lei Yunze to the maid under King Xiaoyao's throne to take care of him.
I think Lei Yunze should be fine with the nourishment of the immortal water.
Such a loyal and brave man should not die young!
But then, Xiao Mian had to start a new busy life...
The Xiaoyao Ocean Demon Army is coordinated by King Xiaoyao.
Xiao Mian left the Xiaoyao Palace and headed straight for the two large islands in the north.
On the Bingfu, Xiao Mian invited two demon kings from the Nanyan Demon Realm to discuss important matters.
The Red Spirit Demon King and Xiao Mian are old acquaintances.
The one who rushed to the East China Sea to help this time was another eighth-level demon king - Bai Jue Demon King!
This Bai Jue Demon King was born from the eighth-level demon beast white-striped black evil tiger. Speaking of which, he was the father of General Bai Wei who was teased by Xiao Mian during the siege of Tucheng.
Not only the two demon kings attended the meeting, but also General Xuan Ling.
On the Nanyue State side, the scholar and the Qingqiu Patriarch were in charge. As for the Dragon-Subduing Venerable, who was also a high-level Yuanying cultivator, he ignored worldly affairs and was not present.
Of course, Xiao Mian was also among them.
There were six people on both sides, including the Qingqiu Patriarch, and there were four demon cultivators...
Xiao Mian, in a few words, told the whole story of Lei Yunze's request for help.
The three demon cultivators in the Nanyan Demon Realm were all silent.
On the contrary, the Qingqiu Patriarch snorted coldly with some displeasure.
"Hmph! Our Nanyue Corps helped Xiaoyaoyang because we had an alliance with King Xiaoyao - we had to save our allies when they were in trouble! But we didn't have an alliance with Lei Jitan. Since Lei Jitan's ally Lei Zhen Palace had rushed to Lei Jitan, and since Lei Jitan came to ask Xiaoyaoyang for help, why should we wade into this mess?"
"Because I want to use this incident to form an alliance with Lei Zhen Palace!"
Facing the questioning of the Qingqiu Patriarch, Xiao Mian revealed his purpose.
At this moment, everyone who heard this was shocked.
Only General Xuan Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.
Previously, inside the Blood Demon Palace, Xiao Mian and Thunder God not only put aside their past grudges, but also expressed their goodwill to each other with Xiao Mian's efforts.
But that is far from enough!
At best, it is just the personal relationship between Xiao Mian and Lei Shen.
Lei Shen is indeed strong!
Lei Shen himself is strong and has a bright future. The Lei Ying Whip in his hand is a magical treasure that is not in the realm of Tianzun.
If nothing unexpected happens in the future, even if Lei Shen cannot take charge of Lei Zhen Palace, she will definitely be the one with the highest cultivation in Lei Zhen Palace - the position of the Great Elder, which belongs to her!
But now Xiao Mian still lacks a friend like Lei Shen?
Xiao Mian does not lack it!
The reason why Xiao Mian deliberately showed goodwill to Lei Shen was not because he was afraid of Lei Ying Whip, but because he wanted to win another powerful ally for Nanyue Province.
Zhenkong Dao's attitude towards Nanyue Province has become much more friendly because of Kong Kong'er. If Lei Zhen Palace can also be brought to Nanyue Province, two of the three realms will be obtained.
This time, Lei Ji Tan was in trouble, and Lei Yunze asked for help.
It was Lei Shen who insisted that Lei Yunze come to Xiaoyao Ocean.
In other words, Thunder God has already made plans to owe a favor to the people of Nanyue Province.
Furthermore, it is possible that Nanyue Province and Lei Zhen Palace have some kind of alliance.
After listening to Xiao Mian's analysis, the Qingqiu Patriarch kept silent.
But it was the Bai Jue Demon King who spoke...
"The Nanyue Army rushed to the aid of Lei Ji Tan, and Lei Ji Tan will be grateful. Lei Zhen Palace received the favor of the Nanyue Army, and then the two families formed an alliance, which is indeed a good story!" Looking directly at Xiao Mian, the Bai Jue Demon King changed the subject: "But if you, Nanyue Province, want to form an alliance with Lei Zhen Palace, just go by yourself, why bother to drag my Nanyan Demon Realm?"
The meaning of the Bai Jue Demon King is clearly to draw a clear line with Nanyue Province.
Nanyue Province, just go to the aid of Lei Ji Tan and form an alliance with Lei Zhen Palace.
Nanyan Demon Realm does not intend to draw a sword to help!
When the Bai Jue Demon King said this, the Chi Ling Demon King frowned slightly.
The scholar's face changed slightly, and the Qingqiu Patriarch had a cold look in his eyes.
A disagreement led to a disagreement between the two sides.
The situation on the scene was about to explode.
Xiao Mian, the person involved, didn't care at all.
Under the gaze of four high-level cultivators, Xiao Mian stared at General Xuanling.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanling! What do you say?"
"Me? I don't know what Fellow Daoist Xiao means by this?"
"That day in the Blood River Formation, on the Huofu, I mentioned to you the way for humans and demons to coexist peacefully. Fellow Daoist Xuanling, do you still remember how you answered me?"
"Oh! Of course I remember!" Smiling, General Xuanling brought up the old matter again: "Coexist peacefully? Haha... I still say the same thing: wait until there are no spirit beasts in Wanzong City, then discuss peaceful coexistence! Or, my Nanyan Demon Realm can also learn from the Demon God Temple and capture some human pets to play in Nanyan? Fellow Daoist Xiao, what do you think?"
"Outrageous!"
"Ridiculous!"
The Qingqiu Patriarch and the Red Spirit Demon King, without distinction, shouted out.
The scholar frowned upon hearing this, while the Demon King Bai Jue seemed to smile...
"I think what Daoist Xuanling said is exactly what I want!"
It was Xiao Mian who expressed his opinion calmly.
The cultivation world has always regarded humans as the orthodox.
It is for this reason that human cultivators occupied the five states with the richest spiritual energy in this cultivation world, but drove the demons to the wild lands of the four seas.
Over time, humans believed that this was the way of heaven!
But don't forget!
The demons existed long before the birth of humans!
There is even a saying that humans evolved from demons...
Look at today, humans and demons are on different paths!
The only bond between humans and demons seems to be that soul contract!
Humans planted soul contracts in the bodies of demons and formed a contract. From then on, demons will obey humans forever and never resist or disobey.
For the rest of their lives, they will obey orders!
Humans are lucky, monsters are miserable...
If this abnormal relationship cannot be changed or even reversed, humans and monsters will never be able to coexist peacefully!
Either humans enslave monsters, or monsters persecute humans.
To change this situation, someone needs to stand up and cut off the soul contract!
Not only the tangible soul contract planted by human cultivators in monsters, but also the intangible soul contract between human society and monster cultivation society...
Only in this way can there be equality; only with equality can there be peace!
After revealing all the words hidden deep in his heart, Xiao Mian felt relieved when he saw the other five people looking at each other in bewilderment.
Now, he has put forward his point of view.
Next, it depends on whether this view can be passed smoothly...
"Humph! Humans are cunning and treacherous!" Xiao Mian's words were met with a laugh from the White Jue Demon King: "Xiao Mian! You are not trying to use the abolition of the soul contract to induce my Nanyan Demon Realm to follow Nanyue Province to help Lei Ji Tan, right? After the matter is accomplished, your Nanyue Province will form an alliance with Lei Zhen Palace and make friends with Lei Ji Tan. Our Nanyan Demon Realm suffered heavy casualties for your empty words. Do you think I will believe it?"
"This matter involves a lot of people, and we have to - think about it in the long run!"
The one who followed the White Jue Demon King and opposed it was the scholar!
This time, Xiao Mian was also a little surprised...
Seeing Xiao Mian looking at him with some grievance, the scholar sighed quietly.
"Xiao Mian! Your original intention is good! Although I am a human monk, I deeply agree with what you said! Human beings are too ungrateful! But! But don't forget! The development of human cultivation world To this day, they are inseparable from spirit beasts. For ordinary monks, spirit beasts are a great help, and for beast masters, spirit beasts are their entire possessions. If you break the soul contract with one word, don't you break them. This is a good thing, but it must be done slowly and not in a hurry!"
The scholar's words were frank and compassionate, and cannot be criticized.
Xiao Mian nodded when he heard this, but continued to argue with reason.
"Master! What you mean is not that you disagree with the abolition of the soul contract, or even agree with the abolition of the soul contract. What you are worried about is just the timing and method of abolition of the soul contract! At least, in the general direction, we are consistent! However, One thing, I think all the seniors have misunderstood! I don’t want to abolish the soul contract!” Looking around, Xiao Mian continued: “I want to improve the soul contract and make it an equal contract!”
For today's matter, Xiao Mian had already asked Di Qingyun for advice.
In the history of the Servant Beast Style, in the beginning, there was no such thing as a soul contract.
In the beginning, humans were born in Hongmeng and were almost the same as beasts.
In order to survive, humans look for powerful partners, and among them are monsters.
Some spiritual monsters can communicate with humans.
Gradually, both parties started to cooperate after each got what they needed and benefited from each other.
At that time, there was no so-called soul contract between humans and monsters.
Yes, it’s just trust!
After that, as humans gradually occupied a dominant position in the world, the collective thinking of humans began to change, and the consciousness of the primates of all things emerged.
From then on, it was out of control...
The soul contract was invented to ensure that the monsters were unable to resist.
But according to what Di Qingyun said, the soul contract method used in the practice world today is also very different from the soul contract method that appeared in the first generation.
The soul contract of the first generation was more like a contract.
Both parties to the soul contract have obligations and rights, and both parties can bind each other.
Unlike the soul contract of later generations, as long as the human monk masters the soul contract, the power of life and death of the spiritual beast lies with the human monk in a single thought.
After listening to Xiao Mian's explanation, everyone remained silent for a long time.
But it was General Xuanling who looked at Xiao Mian with brilliant eyes!
This kid!
The sentence "I've written it down!" that day was not just a casual remark!
Obviously, Xiao Mian really wanted to abolish or improve the soul contract.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much energy.
Besides, if the soul contract can really be improved, General Xuanling feels that it is not a bad thing for the demon cultivators!
At least Wan Zongcheng's experience allowed General Xuanling to see the prosperous Three Thousand.
The Nanyan Demon Realm, no matter how friendly it is, does not have such a prosperous time!
Among demon cultivators, there are countless people who long to enter the prosperous age of mankind.
If a new type of soul contract can be developed that is equal and mutually beneficial for both humans and monsters, General Xuanling thinks: That may be an opportunity for the two races of humans and monsters to coexist peacefully!
Xiao Mian has already made his efforts.
Next, maybe it’s time to work hard on your own...
Thinking like this, General Xuanling has a certain mind.
