Chapter 600: Ascension of Demonic Fire
Although the conquest of "Spiritual Martial City" was a mutual benefit for him and the Zhang Clan, Liu Yu still felt that he could not work tirelessly for the Zhang Clan without any compensation.
Even if this was the so-called "greater righteousness," the results would still benefit the Annan Protectorate, the Zhang Clan, himself, and even Tian Nan. Yet, it was not a reason for him to take risks without gain.
The "Royal Court Meeting" happens only once every three thousand years, and the Zhang Clan had prepared for this for so long that they could not afford to miss this opportunity.
Ultimately, this uprising was the most important for them; the arrow is on the string and must be released; they could not wait another three thousand years.
People's hearts can change.
This generation of cultivators might be loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves for righteousness, but the next generation might not be so.
The longer the plans are delayed, the greater the possibility of leaks.
To achieve success, timing, geography, and support from people are all indispensable; once missed, it would be challenging to gather them again.
For Liu Yu, even though Zhang Tao emphasized how dangerous it was on the Spiritual Martial City side and how tightly the demonic race had arranged things, he remained half in doubt.
After all, Spiritual Martial City was the actual boundary between humans and demonic beings.
No matter how meticulous the arrangements were, they would still be influenced by the Great Qian in various aspects. Even if there were currently no flaws, it was impossible for vulnerabilities never to arise.
Once a flaw appeared, it would be his opportunity.
As long as he could cross Lingzhou, it would still be worthwhile, even if it meant exhausting the remaining "cosmic unity talisman" in his possession.
On the other hand, even if the Great Qian took a passive stance and would not exert influence, once he thoroughly understood the situation in the Annan Six Continents, Liu Yu could create opportunities for himself.
At this time, his strength had already reached the upper level of the golden core realm; even in the Central Domain, he was no longer a small fry, possessing enough options.
Moreover, with trump cards like the "sword of ruin" and "cosmic unity talisman," he had quite a chance to save his life, even when encountering shape-shifting demonic cultivators.
Being strong can provide support!
Considering all these factors, although contributing to the Zhang Clan's assault on Spiritual Martial City also aligned with his interests, Liu Yu was not without other options.
He had the heart to take risks for the path of cultivation and did not necessarily need to rely on the Zhang Clan.
Trying to let him, Liu Yu, take a risk based solely on a few words and the so-called righteousness was impossible.
As his words fell, Liu Yu's gaze sparkled as he looked at the other party. Although his words were slightly tactful, the meaning remained unchanged.
He sat upright, displaying his attitude through body language.
When it came to matters concerning his interests, he would not yield an inch.
"Daoist Gu, there is no need for that,"
Zhang Tao, halfway through his words, met Liu Yu's resolute gaze and chose not to continue.
He suddenly realized that the other party was someone capable of traversing the Transverse Mountain Range.
In terms of strength, there was no doubt he far exceeded ordinary cultivators.
Although Liu Yu’s attitude towards him and the Zhang Clan was currently friendly and close, he was by no means easy to deal with.
Trying to use the methods suited for ordinary cultivators to confront him would certainly not work.
Given the Zhang Clan's current power in the Annan Six Continents, they did not have the qualifications to look down on him!
This assistance was also indispensable; they needed to unite the forces that could be united to scheme great undertakings!
"Daoist Gu, as long as you can handle this matter well, the second-grade spiritual fire is not off the table for discussion."
