You are not allowed to do underworld operations in the world of the living!

"This... doesn't make sense, does it?" Daode Tianzun expressed his doubt: "Logically speaking, as long as they don't get involved in the dispute, they have no reason to..."

"What reason do you need?"

Jiang Lu found it difficult to understand the naivety of the Lord of Morality:

"The strength of the fist is the reason. Whoever has more people will have the final say. By that time, all the forces that make up the anti-war alliance will be eliminated, but their stomachs are still not full, and they will target you. How can you face so many people alone and without help?

It’s easy to find a reason if you want one.

Aren't you a centrist?

When we form an alliance, you are the only one who stands aside. If you don't join us, aren't you opposing us?

They are not fools. If you don't join the war, they will expect you to reap the benefits. In the end, they might even ask you to jump out and get a piece of the pie?

When the time comes, they will label you as an anti-war faction, and you will have no place to appeal. If you have no one to fight you with, your words will be meaningless. "

"This..." The Lord of Morality was speechless.

"But if a fight really breaks out, the Anti-War Alliance won't necessarily lose, right?" Xuannv asked, "Didn't you say that the Yin Emperor also has many internal problems and is not united?"

"Even if the anti-war alliance wins, the result will be the same."

Jiang Lu shrugged:

"When everyone was banding together to survive, you didn't lend a helping hand and watched us suffer. You are worse than the perpetrators. If we beat them away, you will be the next to be held accountable."

Listening to Jiang Lu's words, Scythe thought of a lot of history, nodded, and agreed: "That's true. I can't say it's 100%, but there is a high probability that it will eventually turn out like this. Even if the post-war conditions are not enough to support them to continue to wage war, this will become an irreconcilable contradiction and will explode sooner or later."

"That's it." Jiang Lu spread his hands, looking a little helpless.

In this great turmoil that was happening on a global scale, even he was powerless to stop anything.

"Then if we follow the original plan and kill the Yin Emperor, or drive him away and retake the underworld, wouldn't the problem be solved?" Dong Wanggong suddenly had an idea.

The others reacted after hearing what was said and looked at Jiang Lu with expectation.

But Jiang Lu was not optimistic about this idea.

“This can indeed be solved, and even the war in the underworld can be ended early, but the problem is that there is not only the Yin Emperor in the underworld now, but also many representatives from other worlds.

Although most of them are not likely to be as powerful as Lucifer, having so many gods is still a problem because we cannot ensure that they will not stop us.

You know, even though there may be other people who have the same idea as Lucifer, have uncertain positions, and are just here to join in the fun, there will definitely be more people who are willing to join the alliance and want to get a piece of the pie from the underworld and the Anti-War Alliance.

On the surface, these issues were discussed at the meeting, but I am sure that Yin Di had already won over a large part of the pro-war faction before that, otherwise he would not have held the meeting. Rather than calling it a meeting, it is better to call it a propaganda and a pyramid scheme, the purpose of which is to team up with a group of people who have become his own people and act as a proxy to win over others. "

Nyarlathotep's sinister and cunning face suddenly appeared in Jiang Lu's mind:

"He won't do anything he's not sure of. He will definitely have the initiative in his hands. So in this situation, let alone trying to drive him out of office, I'm afraid that if there are opposing voices at the meeting, those people he has already discussed with will help him and stand with him."

"You have a very high opinion of Yin Di." Hong Yi was surprised at Jiang Lu's objectivity. She thought Jiang Lu would spread the word that Yin Di was a fool, but she didn't expect him to be so rational on major issues.

Jiang Lu didn't explain anything.

"So what's on your mind?"

Queen Mother of the West asked directly. She believed that Jiang Lu must have thought of a solution before putting this terrible situation in front of them.

Jiang Lu did not let her down. He did have a main plan and many alternative plans.

"First of all, we still have to take back the underworld as our main goal. Although the probability of success is very low, we still have to try. If this path doesn't work, then I will try to disrupt the meeting and weaken the alliance as much as possible. It would be best if no one except those centrists would join them in the future.

But if the situation is irreversible, there is really no room for maneuver..."

Jiang Lu sighed and said seriously:

"Then I will do everything I can to gather enough intelligence and figure out which side has a higher chance of winning. By then... in the worst case scenario, I can at least save the Three Pure Realms."

Chapter 433 Sleepless Night

"Really...will it be this serious?"

The Queen Mother of the West found it unbelievable.

Not only could she not believe that this catastrophe would be so severe, she also could not believe that even a powerful being like the Three Pure Ones would have to go with the flow in order to protect themselves in such a torrent.

Although she was not a hegemonic god in the Sanqing Realm in the past, she had a brother who was a hegemonic god. She had never encountered a situation that required compromise, and it was a little difficult for her to accept it for a while.

"Of course." Jiang Lu replied: "This is the worst-case scenario. It may not necessarily come to that. The specific situation will depend on how tomorrow's meeting goes."

"Speaking of this, what about us?" asked the Lord of Dao and Virtue.

They came together this time just to help Jiang Lu save face, but they didn't expect something like this to happen.

When he thought about the possibility of affecting the Three Pure Ones Realm, Lord Daode had to change his mindset and strategy. He decided to stop slacking off and make some real efforts.

"I asked Lucifer. There is a limit on the number of participants. He can only bring three people. Originally, Asmodeus, Samael, and the contracted gods were all supposed to attend the meeting. I replaced the contracted gods, so I was able to sneak in. However, he doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​letting a second person attend the meeting, so you probably can't get in."

Jiang Lu told everyone what he and Lucifer had agreed on:

"However, the meeting will be held in the Imperial Palace, not far from the mansion where the envoys from all walks of life are staying, so you can stay in the mansion temporarily. If anything unexpected happens, it will be convenient for you to respond accordingly."

"Okay." The Lord of Dao nodded.

Everyone knows that no matter how they speculate or infer now, they are all false. Tomorrow's meeting is the highlight, so instead of discussing it now, it would be better to let Jiang Lu rest early so that he can be in the best condition tomorrow.

"We can't help you tomorrow, so be careful." Lingbao Tianzun warned Jiang Lu seriously.

Now the situation has changed. Jiang Lu has become the representative of the Three Pure Ones. The future of the Three Pure Ones depends on him. Even Lingbao Tianzun, who has always been immersed in his own world and is almost in a state of Alzheimer's disease, can't help but take him seriously.

"I know. Then you should go to bed early. We will set off at dawn."

"it is good."

Just when Jiang Lu called Zi Chi and asked her to arrange a rest room for everyone, Dong Wanggong quietly grabbed Jiang Lu.

"Brother-in-law, I have something to say. Can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Seeing his cautious look, Jiang Lu felt that it was a serious matter, so he followed him solemnly to a secluded corner.

"what happened?"

"I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not." Dong Wanggong seemed a little hesitant, which was totally inconsistent with his usual style.

This made Jiang Lu feel even more strange.

"Go ahead, is there anything we can't say?" Jiang Lu just finished speaking, and seemed to realize something, and asked in a questioning tone: "You don't mean to say that Yuanshi Tianzun was also invited to the meeting, but you forgot it before?"

Dong Wanggong's expression was dull: "Ah?"

"Forget it." Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's not true, just say it directly."

"Oh, what I meant was..."

Dong Wanggong seemed to find it difficult to speak:

"I have thought about this question for a long time. I didn't want to say it, but I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I couldn't help it. Don't blame me if I didn't say it well. I also said it out of kindness."

Seeing him dithering like this, Jiang Lu became a little impatient: "Just say it directly, don't be so nagging."

"Well...it's not a big deal, actually. You said the first head of Jiuyou Pavilion was your mistress, right? The current head is called Grandma, so she is her descendant."

Dong Wanggong frowned and asked seriously:

"So...your descendants are doing this kind of work now. Do you have no idea at all?"

Jiang Lu was stunned, and then the look in his eyes when he looked at Dong Wanggong suddenly changed.

Turtle, are you really a genius?

Even Jiang Lu himself had not thought of this angle.

However, although his attitude of research is commendable, unfortunately, Jiang Lu is sterile, so this concern is not... huh?

Jiang Lu suddenly realized something.

I am sterilized, so why can she have offspring?

hiss...

Jiang Lu walked out of the corner under the inquiring gaze of Dong Wanggong and waved to Zi Chi who was busy not far away: "Zi Chi, come here."

"what happened?"

Zi Chi walked over curiously.

While she was confused, Jiang Lu suddenly grabbed her finger and bit it.

"oops!"

Zi Chi cried out in pain, but before she could ask any questions, Jiang Lu wrapped his lips around her injured finger and began sucking it.

The tingling sensation made Zi Chi find a delicate balance between pain and tenderness, and his face suddenly turned red: "Master, you..."

But before she could slowly experience this feeling, Jiang Lu pulled her fingers out of her mouth, then stood at attention with dull eyes, as if he had fallen into some kind of shutdown state.

"What's wrong with him?" Zi Chi asked Dong Wanggong in confusion.

Dong Wanggong spread his hands and said he didn't know.

After a while, Jiang Lu seemed to wake up suddenly and fell to his knees.

"There are seven differences in the DNA loci... They are not biological..."

His eyes were dull, and he looked crazy, with a half-smile on his face: "I, Jiang, have fought in the military all my life, but I never expected that I would fail in the field I am best at..."

Zi Chi was still confused, but Dong Wanggong guessed something and looked at Jiang Lu sympathetically: "It's okay, this is normal. Men will get over it after a while."

"Bullshit!" Jiang Lu yelled, "I've never used Jingdong or bought MSI since I was a child, but I've never gone to Jiangxi. I've persisted all my life. Why should I suffer such injustice?"

"Aren't you a hypocritical dog?" Dong Wanggong couldn't stand it anymore.

But Jiang Lu didn't care. He questioned Zi Chi: "Who is your great grandfather? Speak!"

"I..." Zi Chi was frightened by his appearance and answered honestly: "I don't have a great grandfather... If I have to say, it's only you..."

"How is that possible? Don't you call her Grandma? But you and I have no blood relationship, so how could there be no other Grandpa?"

At this time, Zi Chi finally realized what Jiang Lu meant.

She quickly explained, "It's my fault, Master. It's all my fault that I forgot to explain to you. Although the previous Pavilion Masters of Jiuyou Pavilion all addressed each other as mother and daughter, they are indeed not related by blood. The Pavilion Master of each generation is the most outstanding courtesan of the time who has passed many tests. It is not really passed down from generation to generation."

Speaking of this, Zi Chi's thoughts suddenly went back to the time when she was just an apprentice hostess in her youth.
