“Master, I don't understand what you mean.”
Lei Shaoye vaguely sensed that this matter was not that simple.
Headmaster Ji sat down in the chair, looking at Wan Lei with a smile.
“Come, aren’t you quite clever? Analyze it for your teacher. If we make this matter public, how will the Huo family react?”
“They should deny it outright, right? After all, who would admit to such a thing? Wouldn't that be inviting trouble?”
“That's right. Then next, we should release the video you recorded. This video will surely sweep across the Central Domain in a short period of time, becoming known to everyone.
With ironclad evidence, how will the Huo family react then?”
“The Huo family… should become exasperated and even make false accusations, fabricating lies that we faked it, saying that our Yin Yang Sect is slandering them, and issue strong condemnations to us, demanding that we apologize and give them an explanation.”
“Aren't you quite clever? So next, what should we do?”
“We’ve already released the information and the video. We definitely can’t say it was faked by us, right? Otherwise, what would become of the Yin Yang Sect's reputation and face?
At that time, we’ll definitely insist that it’s real. Of course, it really is real, so we definitely won't apologize to them.”
“That's right. So next, if the two sides can't reach an agreement, what should we do?”
“…Then we fight, Master. I understand.”
Wan Lei chuckled wryly. He had indeed been inconsiderate about this matter.
“Yes, declare war. The Huo family will declare war on us and come to attack us. Will we passively take a beating? Of course not.
We will counterattack and engage in a life-and-death battle with the Huo family.
But you must know that ordinary forces launching a war know to form alliances and seek allies. How much more so for us, who are peak forces?
When the fighting becomes fierce, both sides will spare no effort to win over other forces to help themselves, giving resources, spirit stones, techniques, and promises, begging people to come and help them.
At that time, other forces will participate in this war. We are all peak forces, not ordinary forces. We have countless affiliated forces, and they will also help us.
The entire Central Domain is the world of the nine great forces. If the nine families fight, then for the Central Domain, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe.”
Hearing this, Wan Lei suddenly remembered that in the illusion, he had single-handedly destroyed the nine great forces and the Four Heavenly Pavilions, and the entire Central Domain was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with the people suffering.
“We can't risk the lives of millions of Yin Yang Sect disciples to fight the Huo family, and we can't start a war in the entire Central Domain.
Right now, there are also demons eyeing us covetously. The Central Domain, as the most powerful force in the Lei Feng Realm, must be united in order to maintain the strongest power at all times under the covetous gaze of foreign enemies.
So, Wan Lei, you are still young and don't think so comprehensively when doing things. In the future, when making any decisions, you must think about what consequences will result from this matter.
We and the Huo family both know the seriousness of this matter. It’s normal for the younger generation to fight and have some friction, but the friction must never escalate.
The Huo family will symbolically offer some benefits to silence us, and we will just go along with it.
Of course, we don't provoke trouble, but that doesn't mean we are afraid of trouble.
If anyone dares to bully our Yin Yang Sect, then they must be prepared to swallow the bitter fruit.
Our Yin Yang Sect has been too Buddhist in recent years. It's time to show our fangs.
Your character is good. Although you are a bit fierce and ruthless, there are also positive effects.
Internally, it can stimulate the disciples' motivation to become stronger. Externally, it can let outsiders know the dominance of our Yin Yang Sect.
You don't need to change anything. Just be like this.”
“This disciple has been taught and thanks Master for clarifying my doubts.”
Wan Lei bowed deeply. If it weren't for Headmaster Ji's explanation, he would have almost made a big mistake.
“Alright, go down. Remember, politics is never about fighting and killing, but it can eat people without spitting out bones.”
After leaving the council hall, Wan Lei and Qu Qingyan, led by Elder Qu, went to the treasury to receive their respective rewards.
Wan Lei didn't have much to say, it was just four million spirit stones.
Qu Qingyan received one million spirit stones and some magical treasures and ancient books.
Before leaving, she also vowed to go back and study military strategy to defeat Wan Lei one day.
Wan Lei just smiled at her provocation and didn't take it to heart.
He could see that although this woman was always unconvinced by him, she had never stopped him from any of his commands, indicating that she could still distinguish right from wrong in her heart.
After returning to his cave, Wan Lei closed the door and focused on cultivating.
In the following time, Wan Lei's life returned to calm. During the day, he would go to the Life and Death Disk to temper his body and hone his Yin Yang Dao Rhythm.
When evening came, he would return to the Thunder Emperor's Cave to observe the Thunder Dao Rhythm left by the Thunder Emperor.
Wan Lei felt that those Thunder Dao Rhythms were extremely mysterious every time he saw them.
The Thunder Emperor of that year did not have the Thunder God's authority and relied entirely on his own strength to comprehend the origin of the Thunder Dao Rhythm, which shows how strong his talent was.
He deserved to be a genius who changed an era.
Not long after, Wan Lei heard two pieces of news that were spreading wildly in the Central Domain.
The first was that the Yin Yang Sect had simply and neatly slaughtered six families, leaving no one alive.
Although these families had done things that were outrageous and devoid of conscience, and there was sufficient evidence to prove that they deserved to die, people were still very surprised.
They were surprised that the Yin Yang Sect had changed its past gentle and Buddhist style, and its actions were so ruthless, often exterminating families and slaughtering cities.
People were speculating that the Yin Yang Sect might be showing its muscles to let the world know how powerful it was.
Some people also said that these battles were all commanded by Wan Lei, so they were so ruthless.
After all, it was Wan Lei, so it was not surprising.
In any case, the Yin Yang Sect's deterrent purpose was achieved.
The second thing was that Wan Lei survived under Huo Liuli's full attack.
Wan Lei did not deliberately publicize this matter. He also went to Headmaster Ji, but Headmaster Ji also said that he did not publicize this matter. Finally, the source was traced back to the Huo family.
Wan Lei and Headmaster Ji analyzed that the Huo family was malicious. They were sacrificing their reputation to promote the theory that Wan Lei was a threat, so that other families and forces would know how great Wan Lei's talent and potential were, and that he would definitely be a great threat to the six families in the future.
After all, the six families back then…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Wan Lei had been in the Yin Yang Sect for almost three months.
Today, the big bell of the Yin Yang Sect rang, summoning the disciples to go to the Golden Immortal Secret Realm that was about to open.
Wan Lei's heart was burning, not because he was looking forward to the Golden Immortal Secret Realm,
but…
Long time no see,
my little Yu sister.
