For the first time, Yang Dingtian felt like he was about to pee in his pants.
Please don't play with me!
I'm not that brave in this aspect!
But as if in the blink of an eye, the dark green Black Dragon disappeared without a trace.
Yang Dingtian rubbed his eyes hard. There was only a dark green Mystic Fire in his palm. There was nothing different.
Could it be, could it be that he was really seeing things?
It shouldn't be. That winding, mysterious, strange and powerful appearance was indeed the appearance of a fallen Black Dragon.
"Why don't you transform again for me to see?" Yang Dingtian asked.
The Dark Mystic Fire didn't respond.
"Come on, I won't be afraid. I can take it." Yang Dingtian stared at the Dark Mystic Fire in his palm.
But it was still burning quietly without any change. It was as if it had lost its previous spirituality.
In the end, Yang Dingtian gave up the idea of summoning it and kept the Dark Mystic Fire back into his body.
Then, he quickly checked his Sea of Qi to check his own cultivation.
There was such a big commotion just now. His cultivation should have broken through a little, right?
But after checking, Yang Dingtian was a little disappointed.
His cultivation didn't break through at all. It even decreased a little because the Dark Crystal directly swallowed a lot of Mystic Qi cultivation.
The Dark Crystal was too terrifying. It specifically chose the pure Mystic Qi in the Sea of Qi and the instinctive energy in the Sea of Qi to swallow.
But it was good that he had successfully awakened the Dark Mystic Fire. Although the Dark Mystic Fire seemed to have become very strange.
And Yang Dingtian didn't know how powerful it was. There was almost no test subject here.
It had been a long time since he left Zhongjing. Master and Yun Cailin should be waiting anxiously.
Yang Dingtian flew into the air and met with Demon Vulture King Ah Zha a few hundred miles away.
Although there was no one here, to be safe, when Yang Dingtian awakened the Dark Mystic Fire, he still let Ah Chou hover in the air around him. He didn't let anyone get close to Yang Dingtian.
The moment he met up with Ah Chou, Ah Chou looked at Yang Dingtian in a daze.
Yang Dingtian, "What?
You don't recognize me? "
Ah Zhu shook his head, but he couldn't explain it.
Master looked exactly the same as before, but he felt a little different.
Yang Dingtian leaped onto King Demon Vulture's back. King Demon Vulture let out a long howl and flew towards Zhong Jing at a speed of over two thousand miles per hour!
…
Eight hours later, Yang Dingtian arrived in the sky above Zhongjing. He landed in the sky above the North Mansion and directly entered the Council Hall.
All the leaders of the Council of Light had been waiting here for a full twenty hours.
All of Yang Dingtian's direct subordinates had already arrived. The meeting hall was filled to the brim with a dozen or so people sitting in it.
Seeing that Yang Dingtian had returned, they were not unhappy at all. Instead, they were overjoyed.
Yang Dingtian must have left last night because he had something very important to do. Now that he had returned on time, it meant that this matter had gone smoothly.
After Yang Dingtian sat down in his seat, he said, "There are only a little more than two days left before the duel. No matter what we do now, we can't change the outcome of the duel.
So, the next thing to discuss is, what if we win the duel?
What if we lose?
The point is, what if we lose? "
Qin Wanchou pondered for a moment and said, "In your opinion, what are the chances of winning this time?"
Yang Dingtian, "I don't know!
First of all, let's assume that Wu Youming's cultivation is a nine-star ninth-level grandmaster, which is the same as Sect Master Zhu!
Then, in terms of cultivation, ten of me can't compare to one Wu Youming.
It seems that I will lose without a doubt, but I also have a trump card.
Of course, I can't be sure if my trump card has a chance of winning. "
Speaking of this, Yang Dingtian said to Song Chunhua, "Chunhua, come with me to the secret room to test my trump card."
"Yes!" Song Chunhua said.
Then, Yang Dingtian and Song Chunhua left the meeting hall temporarily and entered the secret room.
Yang Dingtian, "Use the Heavenly Phoenix Fire to attack me with all your might."
"Yes!" Song Chunhua said.
Subsequently, she circulated all of her mystic qi and combined it with the Demonic Dragon Totem's energy. She blasted out the Phoenix Heavenly Flame and attacked Yang Dingtian.
The Dark Mystic Flame in Yang Dingtian's palm was released suddenly.
When Song Chunhua saw this dark green flame, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, the two Mystic Flames met in the air.
Yang Dingtian's Dark Mystic Flame was originally enough to devour all kinds of energy. With the addition of the Deep Sea Mystic Poison's energy, how could this be?
It should be able to easily devour the Mystic Flame's energy from Song Chunhua's attack instantly.
However …
However, nothing happened.
Song Chunhua's Mystic Flame directly bombarded Yang Dingtian's chest.
Yang Dingtian was stunned and was directly blasted dozens of steps back. His blood and Qi were in turmoil.
What, what, what does this mean?
Yang Dingtian was completely stunned!
How did this black-green Mystic Flame become completely harmless to humans and animals?
You, aren't you very, very awesome?
You were born from the Nirvana of the Dark Mystic Flame. You can devour the most powerful energy in this world.
Why, why did he become so harmless?
Song Chunhua was also stunned. Then, she whispered, "Sect Master, why don't you use that dark green Mystic Flame to attack me?"
"This is very dangerous," Yang Dingtian said.
"Try using a very low level," Song Chunhua said.
Yang Dingtian nodded and then suddenly blasted out a dark green Mystic Flame.
Instantly, like a dark green lightning, it directly hit Song Chunhua's chest.
Then … Then, there was no feeling at all.
That flame was burning in front of Song Chunhua's chest, but it couldn't even burn her clothes.
"What, what does this mean?" Yang Dingtian looked at the flame in front of Song Chunhua's chest.
"I, I don't know either." Song Chunhua said, "How did you form this flame?"
Yang Dingtian said, "A new Mystic Flame was born when the Million Spirit Demonic Flame burned the Dark Crystal. It's called the Dark Mystic Flame.
Then, it devoured the energy of the Demon Spirit Demonic Flame and became a really powerful Mystic Flame.
Then, it devoured the Deep Sea Mystic Poison in the entire pool and then fell into a deep sleep for two years.
Finally, I consumed a Dark Crystal that was equivalent to ten million catties of water from the Celestial Red Sea. Then, the new flame was born. "
When Yang Dingtian said this, Song Chunhua was even more stunned.
The Dark Crystal was the most terrifying energy in the world. It was almost at the top of the world's energy with the Evil Spirit.
The Deep Sea Mystic Poison was also the most terrifying energy in the world. It was almost at the same level as the Dark Crystal and the Evil Spirit.
The Demon Spirit Demonic Flame was the fourth Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame in the world.
No matter which one of these three things was taken out, it would shock the world.
When mixed together, it should be extremely terrifying. It should be able to destroy the world.
Why, why … didn't it cause any damage?
Was this a ghost?
Yang Dingtian retracted the black-green Mystic Flame in front of Song Chunhua's chest and let it float in his palm.
It clearly wasn't of the Primal Chaos Attribute, so why didn't it cause any damage?
What the hell is going on here?
"Sect Master, is, is it missing something?" Song Chunhua suddenly said.
"Missing something?" Yang Dingtian said, "You instinctively feel that it's missing something?"
Song Chunhua said, "The strongest energy in the world are the Evil Spirit, the Dark Crystal, the Deep Sea Mystic Poison, and the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame.
Is, is it missing an Evil Spirit? "
Yang Dingtian couldn't help but tremble. "The hole in your brain is really big. It's not like you don't know what an Evil Spirit is.
Could it be that I really mixed the energy of an Evil Spirit into it?
You also know that once an Evil Spirit is implanted, it can't be removed for life.
When Wentian revives, the person implanted with the Evil Spirit will be in danger. "
At this point, Yang Dingtian's heart skipped a beat. Because Wu Mozhi and Duan Ruyan both had Evil Spirit energy in their bodies.
Although he didn't know if his twin children had Evil Spirit energy, they were Wu Mozhi's children.
"I, I feel that you can release a flame from your body and let the Evil Spirit energy get close to it. See if there's any reaction?" Song Chunhua said.
Yang Dingtian had Evil Spirit energy in his hands, but it was a fourth-grade one. He got it when he defeated Qin Qiqi.
Yang Dingtian took out a special energy box and opened it. A chaotic light floated inside. This was fourth-grade Evil Spirit energy.
After hesitating for a while, Yang Dingtian decided to give it a try according to Song Chunhua's suggestion.
Then, he flicked his finger lightly. Instantly, the black-green Mystic Flame in his palm floated in the air by itself. It looked mysterious, beautiful, lonely, and even terrifying.
This should be a fantasy experiment, right?!
Moreover, it was the most dangerous experiment in the world!
The Evil Spirit was the most evil and terrifying energy in the world.
The black-green Mystic Flame, forget it!
Originally, it should be said that it was the most terrifying and the most evil. But now, it actually displayed a completely harmless appearance. Yang Dingtian was completely speechless.
In short, it was a new species formed by mixing the most possible energy in the world.
Then, Yang Dingtian controlled the black-green Mystic Flame and the fourth-grade Evil Spirit to slowly approach it.
If there was really any reaction, it should be like Mars colliding with Earth.
Yang Dingtian had no idea what kind of terrible consequences there would be.
Therefore, the closer he got, the more he held his breath. His hands couldn't help but tremble.
He was like that. At critical moments, he would be nervous and tremble.
He even wanted to say, "Forget it, I give up."
However, no matter how nervous he was, he never gave up.
The black-green Mystic Flame and the Evil Spirit energy slowly approached, closer, closer.
Eh?
There was no reaction!
Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth. If he was going to die, so be it!
Then, he mixed the Evil Spirit energy and the black-green Mystic Flame together.
Suddenly …
Still, nothing happened!
These two things were completely respectful to each other. Although they were together, they didn't mix at all. There was no reaction at all.
The black-green Mystic Flame was still burning quietly.
And the Evil Spirit energy was still wriggling gently. There was no reaction at all.
Yang Dingtian stared until his eyes were sore, but there was still no reaction!
In the end, Yang Dingtian gave up completely.
Then, he kept the black-green Mystic Flame and put the Evil Spirit back into the energy box.
He knew that this black-green Mystic Flame was definitely not simple. It must be the most terrifying thing in the world.
However, it might not be complete now. It still had something missing.
As for what it was missing?
Yang Dingtian didn't know!
But no matter what it was missing, it couldn't be made up before the battle with Wu Youming.
Or when it was complete, Yang Dingtian would be the most powerful person in the universe and reach the God level.
However, before that, this Mystic Flame had no use at all?
Yang Dingtian was absolutely unwilling to get this result. He was totally unwilling!
…
Yang Dingtian returned to the meeting hall. Immediately, everyone looked at him expectantly.
He rubbed his eyebrows with difficulty and said, "In the upcoming battle, my chance of winning is very, very small. It's almost zero.
Unless a miracle happens, but I can't imagine any miracle happening. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces trembled.
"So, in this battle, I will wear Wu Mozhi's Demonic Spirit Mist Cloak, I will wear the Demonic Spirit Black Armor, and I will wear the Universe Ring and the Ring of Protection," Yang Dingtian said word by word, "I will do my best to protect my own life!
As for how to prepare for the situation after the battle?
Now, let's start to discuss what we should do after we lose the battle! "
Once these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present turned pale.
Yang Dingtian continued, "Previously, I used the secret weapon, the missile, to blackmail Wulingzi and let his Black Vulture Corps withdraw from Zhongjing.
But if I lose the battle, then Wulingzi may change his mind!
And the leaders of the swing forces in Central Continent will all rely on Wu Youming. Our situation will become very passive and difficult! "
Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian described the worst-case scenario. Instantly, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became extremely oppressive. Zhu Hongxue and the rest even found it difficult to breathe.
Yang Dingtian said, "If this worst-case scenario happens, what should we do?
Withdraw from Central Continent and hide in West Continent, or start a civil war and use force to unify the entire Chaotic World?
This is what we need to discuss! "
After Yang Dingtian finished speaking, no one spoke.
"Withdraw from West Continent," Qiu Wanjie said.
"West Continent is our absolute home ground. Even if Wu Youming controls the entire Central Continent, she can forget about doing anything to West Continent.
Back then, West Continent was so weak. Zhu Qingzhu mobilized all the Central Continent armed forces, but they were all wiped out.
Now, our West Continent Corps is unrivalled and invincible. "
Qiu Wanjie's words were met with silence.
Many people's silence represented tacit agreement.
Song Xiao suddenly said, "If we withdraw from West Continent, then we might not even be able to protect West Continent. Because it's hard to guarantee that some of us here will waver."
Qiu Wanjie's expression changed. "Song Xiao, who are you talking about?
What do you mean? "
Song Xiao said, "Wu Youming invited the important members of the Council of Light a few times. Among us, only you went."
"I, I just can't bring myself to do it," Qiu Wanjie said.
Qin Wanchou coughed and said slowly, "I know many of you here will doubt me!
It was very difficult for me to enter the Council of Light. I struggled between the Evil ways and Sect Leader Yang several times.
Then I solemnly declare that as long as Sect Leader Yang doesn't die, I will not betray! "
Dongfang Minmie said slowly, "If we withdraw from Central Continent, then the forces in East Continent will not directly defect to Wu Youming's camp.
But at least half of them will waver. I can only protect half of East Continent.
I will even have to start a massacre. Not only on East Continent, but also on Yin-Yang school. "
Duan Ruyan said slowly, "If we withdraw from Central Continent, I can guarantee that Southwest Continent will be the most loyal and will never betray us."
Song Xiao said firmly, "I have betrayed before. I have joined the Evil ways's camp.
But this time, even if Sect Leader Yang dies, I will not betray. At most, I will die!
The North will never betray us! "
Song Lihua, who had never spoken, said slowly, "The North will not betray us. City Lord Qin will not betray us. Southwest Continent will not betray us.
West Continent will be impregnable!
Even if someone wants to betray us, he will be seeking his own death. "
When she said this, Qiu Wanjie's expression turned even uglier.
"And us."
Kui Si said slowly, "Actually, anyone here can betray us. Earth Splitting City and Cloud Sky Pavilion will definitely not betray us.
Everyone knows the reason. We, the Vulture Palace, and the Evil ways are in a life-and-death struggle. "
Song Lihua said, "It seems that after Sect Leader loses the duel, retreating from Central Continent is the best choice.
That way, we can protect half of East Continent, the entire West Continent, and the entire Yingzhou Continent.
In terms of military power, we will still be invincible.
Also, we can avoid the civil war in the Chaotic World and preserve our strength for the Great Apocalypse War! "
Yang Dingtian said, "Then, what will happen after retreating from West Continent?"
Qin Wanchou said, "We will focus on developing our military power while Sect Leader will cultivate with all his might.
Before the Great Apocalypse War arrives, we will kill Wu Youming!
Furthermore, the West Continent, Yingzhou Continent, and half of East Continent's strength will be enough to fight against the Great Apocalypse Army and Central Continent's allied forces.
As long as you don't die, I will always have great hopes for you. "
Yang Dingtian said, "We have sacrificed a lot to enter Central Continent. We have controlled half of Central Continent and spent a lot of effort.
Are you willing to just retreat like this? "
Dongfang Minmie said slowly, "We are adults. We only care about the pros and cons. We don't care about whether we are willing or not."
Qin Wanchou said, "Also, if we don't retreat from Central Continent!
The Great World War will break out in advance!
West Continent is developing rapidly. If we waste a lot of our elites in this civil war, the losses will outweigh the gains!
Because of the existence of the Black Vulture Corps, our chances of winning this war are very small.
Also, if the war breaks out into a martial arts duel, the other party has two Half-Sages. We have no chance of winning. "
Yang Dingtian said, "Everyone here agrees to retreat from Central Continent, right?
You all think that we should completely abandon Central Continent? "
Although everyone was unwilling, they all nodded.
Yang Dingtian said, "If I lose the duel and choose to completely abandon Central Continent, raise your hands!"
Instantly, pairs of hands were raised.
Dongfang Minmie, Qin Wanchou, and Qiu Wanjie were the first to raise their hands.
Then Duan Ruyan, Kui Si, and Yun Cailin raised their hands.
Next, Song Xiao, Song Chunhua, Qin Huaiyu, Song Lihua, Li Guinong, and Zhuo Qingchi all raised their hands.
Finally, Dishi Bian and the leaders of the forces affiliated with Black Heaven Sect and Yin-Yang school also raised their hands.
In other words, all of Yang Dingtian's followers raised their hands, indicating that they agreed to abandon Central Continent!
This was a one-sided vote!
Only Yang Dingtian did not raise his hand!
Dongfang Minmie said, "Sect Master, sometimes retreating is for a better way to advance!
Compared to Wu Youming, we need more time!
We need to find a way to destroy the Black Vulture Corps. We need to find special crystal veins.
We need time to build more submarines. Our new warships are not ready yet. "
As long as Yang Dingtian raised his hand, this decision would be decided.
If Yang Dingtian lost the duel, the Council of Light would completely abandon Central Continent!
Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and fell into deep thought!
He was hesitating. Was he struggling?
No, he was just persuading himself to agree to the decision to abandon Central Continent. Because he had already made a decision in his heart. He was prepared to make a decision arbitrarily!
However, he wanted to use the last chance to persuade himself to accept the opinions of everyone present.
There was a saying that the truth was often in the hands of a few people.
However, he did not know if what he insisted on was the truth.
After thinking for a full 15 minutes, Yang Dingtian found all the reasons to persuade himself to give up Central Continent.
However, he still could not do it.
He slowly opened his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give up Central Continent!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!
Since the establishment of the Council of Light, Yang Dingtian had exerted his democratic style to the extreme.
Almost all of his power was delegated. Almost everything was respected by the Council of Light's vote.
Most of the time, he did not express his own opinions and completely obeyed the will of the group.
This could be considered as the first and only time he would do so.
He went against the will of everyone present!
No one jumped out to question him immediately. Everyone's eyes fell on Yang Dingtian's face.
"First of all, I want to be honest. My cultivation may not even be one-tenth of Wu Youming's." Yang Dingtian said, "That's why I said that unless a miracle happens, it's impossible for me to win.
However, we must not expect a miracle to happen!
In that case, we must prepare for the worst, and that is my defeat, and that is 99% likely to happen! "
Yang Dingtian continued, "That's right. Completely giving up Central Continent is almost the most beneficial choice for us, and also the choice with the least loss.
I've been desperately trying to avoid a civil war. For this reason, I even used all the missiles to blackmail the Vulture Palace! "
"But …" Yang Dingtian said, "If we completely give up Central Continent, what about Zhuo Qingchi and Zhu Hongxue's Black Heaven Sect?
Then what about the forces in Central Continent that are completely loyal to the Council of Light?
West Continent, Ying Continent, and East Continent can negotiate with Wu Youming for mutual non-aggression.
However, Black Heaven Sect and Central Continent's Council of Light's loyal forces will definitely be destroyed! "
Yang Dingtian was right. Wu Youming had already made arrangements for the duel, and Zhu Hongyu was right by his side.
Once Yang Dingtian lost the duel, Zhuo Qingchi would definitely step down, and Zhu Hongyu would enter Black Heaven Sect.
When that time came, Black Heaven Sect's loyal forces and Central Continent's loyal forces would all be cruelly purged.
"Of course, some people might say that they can go to West Continent."
Yang Dingtian said, "Zhu Hongxue is willing to go to West Continent, but I think Sect Master Zhuo Qingchi is unwilling to go.
Once Central Continent's loyal forces leave Central Continent, it's equivalent to giving up their people. It's equivalent to losing their roots. "
"That's right. I'd rather die in Central Continent," Zhuo Qingchi said calmly.
"If we give up on Central Continent, it means abandoning our comrades and letting them die," Yang Dingtian said resolutely, "I definitely can't do that!
Sacrificing ourselves in exchange for survival. Perhaps many ambitious people or even heroes can do that, but I can't! "
Once Yang Dingtian's words were spoken, everyone present was moved.
That's right. Yang Dingtian often did not consider things from the pros and cons, but from his emotions.
"The second point."
Yang Dingtian said, "Once we give up on Central Continent, we'll lose all sense of righteousness, and Wu Youming will be in charge of righteousness.
Then, it'll be a fatal blow to our morale!
Righteousness may seem illusory, but it's the most important thing. Without righteousness, we won't be able to do anything righteously and justifiably! "
"That's why I don't agree with giving up on Central Continent." Yang Dingtian said, "This time, I want to be arbitrary!
Once I lose the duel, I'll never give up on Central Continent. Even if it's a civil war, even if it's a world war, I'll fight on!
As for how to win, how to deal with the Black Vulture Corps of the Vulture Palace, how to deal with the twenty-odd Grandmasters of the Vulture Palace and the Netherworld Sea, and how to deal with the two Half-Saints!
I can only say that I don't know!
But we'll talk about it after the fight! "
Yang Dingtian stood up abruptly and slammed his fist on the table. "That's right, we'll talk about it after the fight!"
Then, Yang Dingtian looked at everyone present and said slowly, "Then, who objects?"
No idea why?
No one was repulsed by Yang Dingtian's rare display of dominance!
Instead, they felt their blood boiling and goosebumps rising all over their bodies.
Especially when Yang Dingtian said, "How to win?
I don't know, but we'll talk about it after the fight! "
Especially Kui Si, Zhuo Qingchi, and Song Xiao, these extreme and stubborn people. Their blood was boiling, and they even felt like they were about to die!
Song Xiao slammed the table and roared, "That's right, we'll talk about it after the fight!
Who cares so much, we'll just perish together! "
Under Yang Dingtian's gaze, all the members of the Council of Light stood up one after another, expressing their obedience to Yang Dingtian's will.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian's arbitrary decision reversed everyone's will in an instant!
For the first time, Song Lihua felt that being smart was not always beneficial. When a person was too smart, they would have too many scruples and restrictions.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian's role as a leader was directly highlighted.
For such a crucial strategic decision, he had to be decisive and make everyone submit to his will.
Yang Dingtian calmed his boiling blood and said slowly, "Alright, then it's decided.
Once I lose, I will never give up on Central State. Prepare for war, prepare for civil war, prepare for world war! "
Yang Dingtian continued to speak word by word, "We have to prepare for the worst in order to welcome the best outcome!
We pray for the arrival of a miracle, but we don't expect a miracle!
We have to prepare for the biggest war and welcome the arrival of the duel! "
"Yes, sir!" Everyone present shouted in unison!
