Chapter 452 The Dilemma of the Ice Dragon Clan
In the fairy world, the direction of public opinion is like the unpredictable wind and clouds, undergoing subtle changes all the time.
At first, opinions on a certain event were one-sided. However, with the passage of time and Baibaozhai's subtle "guidance", this powerful torrent of public opinion gradually diverged.
Although no force or individual immortal has dared to openly stand up to defend Chu You and others and completely clear their grievances, those remarks that implicitly question the rationality and logic of the incident have continued to emerge like mushrooms after rain.
Although these words do not directly point out the truth, the doubts revealed between the lines are enough to trigger people's deeper thinking.
At the same time, various contradictions that were originally hidden within the fairy world society - the gap between the court and the ordinary people, the differences between the aristocratic sects and the very small number of independent cultivators, etc., were quietly surfaced due to Chu You's shocking words.
The conflicts and confrontations that once hid in dark corners are now gradually moving towards the light and are intensified from time to time.
These phenomena are like a long-dormant consciousness slowly awakening. It brings with it an unknown power, stirring up the situation in the entire fairy world, making the originally calm situation become turbulent.
The ones who are most reluctant to see this situation are the seven countries, the five top-grade sects and the four top-grade families that currently control the most resources.
To this end, they continue to put pressure on Baibaozhai, hoping that they can control these remarks that attempt to incite instability in the fairy world and prevent them from appearing in world news.
At least, don’t let it appear in the headlines, so that more and more immortals can see it and awaken the thoughts that “should not be awakened”.
But Baibaozhai complained bitterly, saying that more than half of their resources had been stolen by those "traitors" and that they lacked core technical personnel for the jade slip system. Although they had tried their best to delete those remarks that were not conducive to maintaining stability in the fairy world, they were unable to delete them all.
What's more, the so-called "new jade slip system" will come out from time to time to control the comments.
This is simply a dimensionality reduction attack for Baibaozhai, how can it be controlled?
Although the sixteen major forces were extremely dissatisfied with this answer, they still had to rely on Baibaozhai for their communications, so they had to endure it and increase their efforts to search for the whereabouts of Chu You and others in the entire fairy world.
Almost all members of the Crimson Flame Nation were placed under house arrest and surveillance. However, due to the Crimson Cats' innate strong healing talent, and the fact that the Tenth Princess Jin Tangtang and Dali Immortal Lord Yun had always protected the Crimson Cats, they did not suffer any actual losses except for not being able to come and go freely.
As for the already powerful Ice Dragon Clan, because they have the presence of Ning Suyan, a top-level electric fairy who is unmatched, other forces only dare to monitor their every move from the periphery of the Ice Dragon Clan and have no plans to go directly into the interior for the time being.
But after searching for three full months and still not finding even the corner of Chu You and the others' clothes, the Empress Shangguan Xiyue, headed by the Lingyuan Kingdom, could no longer sit still and held a secret meeting to discuss the decision to go deep into the Ice Dragon Clan to look for Chu You and the others.
As soon as Shangguan Yan received the news, he quietly used the new jade slip given to him by his son to send messages to both his son and Ning Suyan, asking them to take precautions in advance.
Thanks to Shangguan Ziqian, Shangguan Yan and Ning Suyan became best friends and often used the new jade slips to exchange messages.
As soon as Ning Suyan saw the news, she called Emperor Xuanyuan Qintian over to discuss:
"If the sixteen most powerful forces in the Immortal Realm, along with other forces, and even the evil demons of the Evil Moon Cult, attack our Ice Dragon Clan together, how long can we hold out?"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qintian was silent for a long time before asking:
"Sister-in-law, how long will it take for Luo'er to consolidate?"
Ning Suyan spread her hands:
"The treasure map that Sect Leader Liu had was indeed real, but it was created many years ago. It ignored the various effects of desert terrain caused by extreme weather conditions, such as quicksand. The terrain has long since changed.
It's been over three months, and they probably haven't even reached the central area yet!"
Xuanyuan Qintian: "..."
There really is no most deceiving master in this world, only masters who are even more deceiving!
He couldn't help but mourn for Ning Luo and the others for several breaths, but he still said seriously:
“Young man, it’s good to have more hardships!”
This time it was Ning Suyan's turn to be speechless for a long while:
"So, because you suffered, you kept me at the top of the most wanted list for thousands of years?"
"Sister-in-law! I've already explained this matter, please don't mention it again!"
Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Qintian is really guilty:
"Especially, after you find my eldest brother, don't mention it, okay?"
If his elder brother knew about this, given his elder brother's obsessive protectiveness towards his wife, he would probably kill him half to death!
Ning Suyan rolled her eyes at him unhappily:
"Let's get back to the point. How long can it last?"
Xuanyuan Qintian couldn't help but become serious:
"If their peak immortals don't take action, and if our rivals don't take action, we can hold out for three to five years with our geographical advantage.
But if all the top immortals come out in force, and Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise and the others take the opportunity to cause trouble for us, then I'm afraid..."
"what?"
"They will break through in three to five days!"
Although Xuanyuan Qintian is very arrogant, he is also very objective.
Ning Suyan's lips twitched slightly:
"What if we activate the defensive formations and mechanisms that little fox has set up for us?"
"Defense formation?"
Xuanyuan Qintian was confused for a moment, and then his icy blue eyes lit up:
"Oh, that's right! Formation!
How could I forget such an important formation!
This formation was built according to the unique geographical location of our Ice Dragon Clan. The last layer of ultimate defense can 'freeze the ice sea'.
Even if we let their peak fire-attributed immortals come to attack, they will not be able to get rid of this kind of defense for at least half a year!
But once it's frozen, we won't be able to get out. I'm afraid we can only wait for Brother Nangong to come back and find a solution."
"If we can hold out for half a year, then that should be about the same, right?"
Ning Suyan touched her pointed chin and had already made up her mind:
“To reduce casualties among our Ice Dragon Clan, we might as well activate the ‘Frozen Ice Sea’.
Anyway, starting from the time they launch their full-scale attack, we can still hold out for half a year.
If they had started their attack with the methods of the lower immortals, they might have been able to hold out longer."
"If we freeze them directly, will they spread rumors that we're 'harbouring guilty motives'?"
Xuanyuan Qintian actually wanted to have a good fight.
But Ning Suyan spoke up and stopped him from thinking this way:
"This world is no longer black and white; it's a playground for those in power.
If those in power are unkind, how can there be justice in the world?
Even if we are innocent, Xiao Youyou and the others are also innocent. Have those in power ever wanted to give Xiao Youyou and the others a chance to live?
Have you ever respected the iron rule of peace of 'non-infringement of territorial freedom'?
So why should we care about their opinions?"
