Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Xiao Yue's voice was not loud. When she first spoke, there were still some subtle sounds from the crowd around her, but after she spoke a few words, the surroundings immediately quieted down.

When she mentioned that she wanted to activate the formation to send more people away, and needed more strong people to drive the formation with their lives, the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even at this moment, even the breathing sounds around were almost completely gone. If you look closely, you will find that almost everyone around subconsciously held their breath.

On the one hand, they were greatly surprised by Xiao Yue's words. They were not mentally prepared at all. How could they remain calm when they suddenly heard this news?

At this time, everyone felt that there seemed to be thunder echoing in their minds, and they even felt that their minds had become blank.

After a while, these people suddenly reacted. I don't know who took a breath first, as if a drowned person barely floated to the surface of the water, almost greedily sucking in the air.

Countless people around immediately followed suit and gasped. They all looked the same, sucking in air with expressions of fear and disbelief.

Whether it was the famous super families or the Ye and Xiao families, the strongest pillars of the empire, they all looked the same at this time, with gray faces and no trace of pride in their eyes. In the end, their eyes were all focused on Xiao Yue.

Ye Tao was also very shocked by his mother's words, but before that, his mother had secretly sent him a message. Although she didn't reveal the answer at that time, it was more or less a reminder to him, and he vaguely knew that there would be some major turning points in the matter.

It can be said that apart from Xiao Yue who remained calm, Ye Tao was the one who calmed down the fastest. Not only did he recover from the shock the fastest, but he also fell into deep thought immediately.

If his mother hadn't specifically sent him such a message, he might only feel secretly happy in his heart, and at the same time secretly look at the painful faces of these people who didn't listen to his advice and suffered the consequences.

However, now Ye Tao, because of his mother's words, put himself in a higher position, at least from the perspective of a future leader. When he rethinks this matter, he regards his mother as a decision maker, thus putting aside the relationship between mother and son.

For Ye Tao, this is the first time he thinks in this way, and even he is surprised that he can put himself in such a perspective, but now he is only surprised for a moment, and more of a cold and silent state.

The whole thing passed slowly in his mind like flowing water, and he did not miss every detail. If it were before, he might feel confused because of the complexity of the matter and the involvement of too many forces.

But now he immediately divided the two sides into two camps, one is the mother, and the other is those family forces.

The decision to launch this "Heavenly River Upside Down" formation was most likely made by his father, and his mother was just executing his father's decision. However, different people will get different results even though the decision is being executed. From the mother's reaction, it can be seen that the result in front of her, including the current reaction of each family, is exactly what she wants.

She certainly knows that the number of people taken away by each family is controlled to 400, which is the lowest cost and the most reasonable number.

At this time, the part to be transferred is basically the elderly, children, women and children in the family, and the remaining majority of warriors must ensure that these people can be evacuated smoothly.

However, in this case, the more people leave, the easier it will be for the family to rebuild in the future, and it can even ensure that the loss of the family's foundation is minimized.

As for paying two Nian Ning period and three Yu Qi period peak warriors for the family members to be transferred, such a price is affordable for each family.

The news only revealed these, and each family will naturally consider taking more people as long as conditions permit. At this time, some people who are not too important will naturally be qualified for transfer just because they are close to the head of the family.

In addition, there are some warriors who are the confidants of the head of the family. They will try to sacrifice as little as possible and retreat together, leaving those clansmen who are not too close to stay outside to resist the Qianhuan Sect. Their fate is clear.

When these families ignored Xiao Yue's request and brought people here on their own, they believed that with the status of their respective families, even if Xiao Yue knew that they did not obey orders and was extremely dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.

These were equivalent to Xiao Yue's preliminary arrangements. She concealed some important information and passed it on with the orders of the king and her wife. If these families abide by it, then there will be no embarrassing situation at this time.

But they did not obey, and this was what Xiao Yue had expected long ago, so she said the last limiting condition at this time.

'You are right in your judgment. I know that you disobeyed orders, and there is nothing I can do to you. But I will not punish you. The rules themselves will punish you, and the fact that you disobey orders will become the bitter wine you "brew" yourself, and you will taste it yourself. ’

This is the result Xiao Yue wants to get, and it is the goal she wants to achieve when she carries out the order of Lord Ye Shan.

After thinking about this, Ye Tao immediately thought of a new question, why did his mother do this. Although my mother is not stupid, she is definitely not so scheming and fussy, so this idea most likely came from my father, Hayama.

Knowing a father better than a son, Ye Tao knew that his father was not a weak character, indecisive and unable to take charge of matters, but that he was unwilling to use his scheming and calculations to deal with the people around him. Especially since these are his own arms and the pillars of the empire.

However, Ye Shan's scheming and the city's government allowed him to imagine how to respond when encountering such a crisis before the great changes in the empire. Xiao Yue should have listened to Ye Shan's idea at that time, and now he is just executing Ye Shan's original idea.

Whether it is the Ye family, Xiao family, Zeng family, Liu family, etc., these families face the same problems. If you want to take away more people, you have to sacrifice more power in your hands, and to take away an extra hundred people, you need to spend nearly twice as much power.

The extra people he brings out are the branches of the family that are closer to him, and the extra strong people he brings out are also the people who support him the most.

But what is before him now is that he must give up. If you want to take away these clans that are close to you, you must sacrifice a group of strong people who support you. If you want to keep these powerful people, then a large number of the clans close to you must be left behind.

These are the results Xiao Yue wanted, but she completely kept herself out of the matter, because I had issued the order with "good intentions" at the beginning, but you guys insisted on going your own way, so naturally you can't blame me in turn now.

When the leaders of each family face such a dilemma, they even have the illusion that they are being torn in half. He didn't want to give up on either side, but now time was very tight and they had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Ye Tao has roughly understood the beginning, process and result. It's just that what he hasn't figured out yet is the purpose of his father's entire plan. His mother's firm support obviously clearly understands his father's purpose.

The heads of several families, with tangled and painful expressions on their faces, first glanced around the team, and the people in the team subconsciously avoided the clan leaders, elders and stewards when they found it, and they prayed silently. , praying that he could survive.

The more silent the atmosphere is, the more painful these people in charge feel, and the less they know what to choose. After that, these people in charge began to gradually observe each other. They didn't know how to choose, so they subconsciously wanted to see how other families chose.

At this moment, among the Ye family's team, Ye Lei, the son of the great elder, suddenly stood up.

In fact, there are many people who are senior to him in the Ye family team, and there are even people who are senior to him than his grandfather. But because of his father, Ye Lei has a special reputation in the Ye family.

"Many of my uncles and even my grandfathers were present. Originally, I was not qualified to speak. But now a catastrophe is just around the corner. Not only is my Ye family suffering, but the empire is also suffering.

We just escaped here temporarily, but we don't have much time to breathe. Only by making a decision as soon as possible can we hope to escape from danger. Mrs. Xiao Yue had already issued a strict order, asking each family to take 400 people away, but we turned a deaf ear to her order, which led to the embarrassing situation today. Now that the situation is before us, I dare to express my own thoughts.

Now that I have the opportunity to take away more people, I hope the family can take away more people. But it is not easy to cultivate every strong person. We cannot lose all the strong people in the family just to take away all the family members. Especially those who are at the peak of cultivation and concentration stage are basically the hope of the family. "

These words were very appropriate. He not only took care of the elders around him, but also expressed some of his own opinions. Moreover, he told it from a completely objective standpoint, which made it easier for the family members to accept it.

"Then I will try to come up with a rule for those left behind by the Ye family. Those who have not reached the tempering stage at the age of fifteen, those who have not entered the Qi sensing stage at the age of twenty-five, and those who have not entered the Qi cultivation stage at the age of fifty "

At this point, Ye Lei paused, and when no one said anything, he continued: "Those who have stayed at the peak of the cultivation period for more than ten years, and those who have stayed at the early stage of concentration for thirty years... stay!"

Ye Lei named two groups of people in total, one was the low-level people in the family, and the other was the strong ones in the cultivation and concentration stages whose strength could hardly be improved.

Of course, the first part are the people who were left behind, and the latter part are the strong ones who want to sacrifice themselves to send away the others.

When Ye Lei spoke, Xiao Yue's eyes immediately changed. Ye Tao observed quietly and couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

‘I see, my father not only wants to clean up these super aristocratic families, but also has the purpose of selecting new leaders for these families! ’ Ye Tao couldn’t help but think secretly in his heart.
