The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Li Qing's words were like a sharp blade, accurately analyzing every potential crisis, causing everyone present to nod in agreement, and the doubts about Ying Guozhu in their hearts also quietly weakened a bit.

He continued, “Not to mention, with the demons rampant nowadays, there is almost no pure land in the spirit world.”

"Ascendants have just arrived in the spirit world. It is already extremely difficult for them to find a glimmer of hope in this new environment full of dangers, let alone ask for help?"

"Every step forward will be a test of life and death. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

As Li Qing explained, Ying Guozhu's expression became more and more complicated. He was annoyed at having troubles solved by Li Qing, but also surprised by Li Qing's profound insights.

The atmosphere around became lively again, and people were whispering and discussing Li Qing's words.

Obviously, his explanation has dispelled everyone's doubts to a certain extent, and also allowed them to have a deeper understanding of the person standing on the high platform.

However, Ying Guozhu will naturally not give up his position easily.

Now that the loophole he just found has been resolved, he will find another loophole to refute it.

So he adjusted his thinking again, preparing to launch a new round of offensive with more rigorous logic and more convincing arguments.

He took a deep breath and scanned the people present with his sharp eyes, making sure that every word he spoke could be clearly heard by everyone.

"I think Shadow Tower Master is worrying too much." He said slowly, his voice steady and powerful, "Our major forces have been connected by blood since ancient times. This blood bond has paved a shortcut to success for us in the spirit world."

"Just like the power of our Tianyu Demon Dynasty in the spirit world, whether it is out of blood recognition or recognition of potential value, it will be the most solid backing for the people of our dynasty in that unknown land."

He paused, his tone becoming more firm and unquestionable: "Just imagine, if we can use this relationship, we can not only quickly integrate into the spiritual world, but also get vital support and help at the critical moment."

"This advantage is unmatched by any ascender fighting alone."

"On the other hand, looking at the plan of the Shadow Tower Master, once he successfully ascends, he will be like a lone goose separated from the flock. We will lose all the resources and connections we have accumulated in the demon world, and the road ahead will be full of unknowns and dangers."

"Even if he is more selfish..."

Ying Guozhu did not finish the last sentence, but both the humans and demons present understood what he was going to say.

His words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The surrounding demons and humans began to re-examine the two completely different strategies, and the balance in their hearts quietly tilted.

They began to realize that although Li Qing's plan sounded idealistic, Ying Guozhu's proposal to utilize the existing network of relationships among the same people in the spiritual world was obviously more pragmatic and safe.

After all, even if those big forces in the demon world ascend to the spirit world, they don’t start over again. Instead, they will be directly guided by their own people, and their status and starting point will be higher than theirs.

These powerful forces in the demon world can suppress them even in the spirit world, and their influence is extremely huge.

Just building an ascension platform that connects to the demon world will definitely not be rejected, and because of the relationship with the Tianyu Demon Dynasty or other major forces, there will be no danger.

"What's more," Ying Guozhu continued, his tone revealing an irrefutable confidence, "The influence and strength of our Tianyu Demon Dynasty in the spiritual world far exceeds your imagination."

"They not only have abundant resources, but also profound knowledge and wisdom."

"As long as we can successfully establish contact with them, building an ascension platform or any other needs will no longer be a problem."

“Such cooperation is a win-win situation for both of us.”

As Ying Guozhu finished speaking, the entire venue fell into a brief silence.

Everyone is silently weighing the pros and cons of the two strategies, trying to find the balance point that can best protect their own interests.

Ying Guozhu stood there quietly, waiting for the final verdict. His eyes were indifferent, as if he had already won.

Li Qing, who was standing aside, had a barely perceptible smile on his face, and that smile revealed his precise grasp of the situation.

Long after Ying Guozhu uttered the first rebuttal, he was already like sitting across from the chessboard, making arrangements in advance and predicting every move of his opponent.

His eyes swept lightly among the demons, as if silently reminding them that the direction of this debate was already under his control.

Before the surrounding noises could gather into a torrent of discussion, Li Qing interrupted the discussion with a steady and powerful voice:

"I have indeed given deep thought to Ying Guozhu's proposal. But please allow me to offer another perspective."

"Just imagine, if we blindly follow the idea of ​​the Eagle Pillar and use the ascension platform of the Phoenix Clan to seek a shortcut, then we will lose not only our freedom, but also the control over our future destiny."

"Although the Tianyu Demon Dynasty is powerful, their kindness is not free. Behind every help, there may be a heavy price to pay."

His tone was calm, but every word he said was sharp and hit the point directly.

At this point, Li Qing's eyes became deep and sharp. He slowly scanned every demon clan present and continued, "The Tianfeng clan of the Tianyu Demon Dynasty, they can naturally rely on their background to enjoy comfort and respect after ascending."

"And what about us? Given the current situation, we may become pawns in their hands, sent to the most dangerous front lines, and become consumables in the war of demonic invasion."

"After all, even if we ascend to the Broken Heart Mountain, we will still have to serve there for a hundred years without freedom."

"If we rely on the Tianfeng clan's ascension platform to ascend, when we reach the spirit world in the future, we will inevitably be forced to sign a 'sale contract' and work for the Tianfeng clan for hundreds of years."

"Are you really willing to accept such a fate?"
