Chapter 1537
One day after the battle of the Star Ocean Ruins.
The cultivators of the Chi Commandery were in charge of guarding the captives of the Thunder Commandery. The Tyrant's group had gathered and started a discussion.
"Boss, are you serious? We finally killed the Thunder Daoist Lord and can easily take over the Thunder Commandery. Why do we have to give up such a large territory? "
Fatty Qian widened his eyes and looked at Gu Chen in disbelief.
Just now, Gu Chen told them the reason why he gathered everyone for a discussion. He actually wanted to give up the hard-won victory!
Fatty Qian had grown up in the Thunder County since he was a child. Now that he had followed Gu Chen to seize the vast territory of the Thunder County with great difficulty, it could be said that he could bring honor to his ancestors. When he returned to the World of Longevity, he would be able to show off for a long time. Therefore, after hearing Gu Chen's words, he was full of confusion.
"Leader, Fatty Qian is right. The Thunder Commandery controls hundreds of worlds, which can be our foundation. With the Thunder Commandery as our territory, we don't have to hide anymore. We can even compete with the Xing Commandery! "
The Evil Shark Emperor was also puzzled. The Stone Emperor and the Dragonfly Monster nodded in agreement.
As for more people, they were thinking about the purpose of Gu Chen's action.
Facing the doubts of Fatty Qian and the others, Gu Chen did not mind and just smiled.
He gathered everyone for a discussion because he considered that some people might not understand his action.
It did not matter if there were objections. Communication was extremely important for a newly formed force like them.
"The territory of the Thunder Commandery looks tempting, but have you ever thought about the consequences of the death of the Thunder Daoist Lord?"
Wu Ming asked on behalf of Gu Chen.
"The situation of hundreds of commandery in the Chaotic Sea has been maintained for a long time. Now that the Thunder Daoist Lord has suddenly died, it will definitely cause a great disturbance. The other commanderies may see us as a piece of fat meat, or they may be wary of us. No matter what they think, there may be more than one Dao Lord coming for us. "
Zhong Shenruo's eyes flickered as he analyzed.
"That's right."
Wu Ming nodded and followed Zhong Shenruo's words. "The leader has taken this into consideration. Right now, we can attack or retreat at will. There are many benefits to hiding in the dark. However, if we take over the territory of Lei County, we may be attacked from both sides. Once we have a burden, we won't be able to do many things. "
"That's true, but we can't hide in the dark forever. Lei Commandery is such a big piece of juicy meat. If we don't want it, wouldn't we be giving it to others for nothing? "Evil Shark Sovereign said somewhat unwillingly.
They followed Gu Chen and risked their lives for two reasons. First, they wanted to take revenge on the Xing County. Second, they wanted to dominate a region.
Now that they finally had such a large territory, it was really hard for them to give it up just like that. It really made them feel reluctant!
The Evil Shark Sovereign's words struck the weak spot in everyone's hearts. No matter who it was, with such a great victory in front of them, they would not easily give up.
They all looked at Gu Chen, hoping that Gu Chen could give them a reason to convince them.
Gu Chen's expression was calm. With a flip of his hand, he took out the mythical trident that had been broken into two from the space in his body.
Everyone's eyes could not help but freeze. Even though the mythical weapon had been broken, the aura it exuded was still very extraordinary.
"Yesterday, I used the Dominating Cauldron of Origin to fight against Thunder Dao Lord. The Dominating Cauldron directly broke Thunder Dao Lord's mythical weapon. However, back then in the Xing Realm, even though Dao Lord Xing was not there, the Dominating Cauldron went all out against the Door of the Decaying Dao, but it only left a crack."
"Now that we've compared the two, do you all understand?"
Gu Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
Hearing that, everyone's expression changed. The Evil Shark Sovereign's eyes were cold as he blurted out. "Leader, do you mean that the difference in strength between Thunder Dao Lord and Dao Lord Xing is huge?"
"I'm afraid so." Gu Chen's expression was solemn.
Wu Ming had previously analyzed with Gu Chen that Dao Lord Xing's strength was enough to rank in the top 75 among the Dao Lords of the Hundred Commanderies. However, at that time, Gu Chen was not too clear about what that meant.
However, after fighting Thunder Dao Lord, who was at the Dao Severing Realm, with his full strength, Gu Chen had a better understanding of the First Severing Realm. His fear of Dao Lord Xing also intensified.
He realized that in the past, because the first Dao Lord he came into contact with was Dao Lord Xing, he had overestimated Dao Lord Xing.
He had overestimated the strength of ordinary Dao Lords and underestimated Dao Lord Xing.
Being able to defeat Thunder Dao Lord this time was the result of a combination of various factors. Gu Chen was very clear that under fair circumstances, the possibility of him defeating Thunder Dao Lord was very low.
The chance of defeating Thunder Dao Lord was already so low, let alone Dao Lord Xing!
If they were intoxicated by the joy of defeating Thunder Dao Lord today and their confidence swelled to take over the Thunder Commandery, regardless of how the other commanderies in the Chaotic Sea would react, Dao Lord Xing would definitely not let them off.
At that time, because they had to defend their hard-won territory, they would only have their hands and feet tied. In the end, they might not be able to avoid a tragedy!
"Are you ready to fight Dao Lord Xing head-on? I'm not ready yet. My cultivation is advancing at a tremendous pace. In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to settle scores with Dao Lord Xing. There's no need to take this risk here. "
Gu Chen said frankly. He did not hide the fact that he was still inferior to Dao Lord Xing. That was due to his age and experience. He believed that his future would only be brighter than Dao Lord Xing's.
After personally destroying the Chaos Transit Window in the Ninth Realm, he had already given up on many meaningless emotions, including arrogance and vanity!
Gu Chen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over them, causing them to quickly realize that the territory of the Thunder Commandery could develop into a poison that could penetrate their intestines. Looking at the benefits that were at their fingertips, they did not seem so fragrant anymore.
"If we don't take over the Thunder Commandery after Thunder Dao Lord is dead, what will happen to the Thunder Commandery?"
Seeing that everyone's obsession had greatly decreased, Gu Chen put away the broken Mythical weapon and curled his lips. "The Thunder Commandery is like a group of dragons without a leader. In the eyes of the other commanderies, it will definitely be a delicious piece of cake. Xing Commandery is the closest to the Thunder Commandery and has the geographical advantage. What will Dao Lord Xing do? "
As soon as he said this, many people's eyes lit up.
"Dao Lord Xing might want to take over the territory of the Thunder Commandery. If that's the case, he will have to send troops into the Thunder Commandery. After Kong Sheng and Mie Zui died, the Xing Commandery was already much weaker. If he does that, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on him and he will not be able to take care of us. "
Zhong Shenruo touched his chin and said.
"That's right. If Dao Lord Xing does that, the Xing Commandery may seem to be stronger, but it will not be as cohesive as before. It will be easy for us to take advantage of the situation. If Dao Lord Xing is not interested in the territory of the Thunder Commandery, the other commanderies will be interested. If they want to intervene in the Thunder Commandery, they will have to pass through the Xing Commandery. In the end, the Xing Commandery will still get into trouble. "
