These people don't know how to be grateful, they are a bunch of cold-blooded animals. If we save them today, they will stab us in the back tomorrow. If we let their bloodline continue, it will only lower the IQ of the entire human race. We should just kill them all!"

The nine core elders also responded, "Young Patriarch, yes, yes. Beiyuan is our base, and the children of the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan are the most trustworthy people. They have accompanied us through the most difficult years and can withstand the test. What money we have might as well be spent on the people of Beiyuan.

Let's not bother with the civilian poor people in other places. Why should we care about them? They have not made any contribution to the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. They have no strength and are ignorant. Apart from wasting our resources, they can't provide any help at all. They are just a group of rabble and can't cause much resistance to us.

When you, Young Clan Leader, become a god and unify Douluo Continent, you will give them farmland, reduce their taxes, and let them live and work in peace. This is already a great gift from heaven!"

…………

A quarter of an hour later, seeing that everyone had almost finished discussing, Zhuang Xingyu raised his arms and pressed them down, signaling everyone to stop discussing.

Zhuang Xingyu's expression became serious. These core elders had fallen into many traps and their vision was not broad enough. After unifying the Douluo Continent in the future, they would inevitably make mistakes.

Zhuang Xingyu had no intention of punishing them. These mistakes were made by everyone in Douluo Continent today. The times limited their thinking, so they could not be blamed.

He just warned worriedly: "Everyone's opinions are very valuable for reference, but you have some very wrong ideas!

First of all, I did say that 'Soul power is the foundation of everything, dignity is only above the soul ring, and truth is only within the soul skill attack', but I did not say that public opinion is not important. Public opinion is very important! If we do not occupy the high ground of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it! The field of thought is crucial. Don't just focus on the level of soul power. In many cases, it is impossible to govern an empire by force alone, unless all non-Beiyuan people are killed and then repainted on a blank sheet of paper.

But this is obviously impossible and too inhumane. This would make one no different from an evil soul master.

Public opinion warfare is an important part of war, and its importance is no less than that of hot war. Just like why so many people were deceived by the false religion and went to the Barak Kingdom, even before that, there were a lot of deeds that confirmed and spread: the Barak Kingdom was extremely chaotic and even the most basic life safety could not be guaranteed, but there were still a large number of people who did not believe it and still wanted to go there.

why?

It is because of the Xiwei Shen Cult, which colluded with the top leaders of other forces to carry out large-scale false propaganda about the Xiwei Shen Cult, creating a perverted atmosphere in society that the Xiwei Shen Cult is superior to others and that one cannot become a noble without going to the Xiwei Shen Cult to drink some golden juice. It then brainwashed a large number of people who had no independent thinking ability and cultivated a large number of filial sons and grandchildren.

This is just a surface phenomenon. The premise for this to happen is that a traitor has appeared in the group of people in charge of that force, which means that the Xiwei Cult has been able to control a large part of the power of that force through infiltration.

The risks derived from this are even more severe, such as the destruction of the most basic trust between people, the weakening of cultural and imperial identity, the lack of cultural confidence, the collapse of rituals and music...even the most basic spiritual bond that maintains a force has been broken. This is a sign that a force is about to collapse!

Therefore, no matter how great the resistance is, news propaganda and ideological education work must be done, and no one can stop it!

Fortunately, our family is linked by blood. For the past 500 years, except for the traitor Zhuang Danyang, the rest of the family decision-makers or those who can influence the decision-making have all focused on the core interests of the family. Unlike the Tiandou Empire, where the emperor and the aristocratic families share the world, those aristocratic families don't care about the life and death of the Tiandou Empire. They only care about their own interests. For them, if the royal family dies, they can just change their master. "

Zhuang Xingyu slowly released a trace of divine power from the Shura Demon Sword, and swept a majestic gaze over everyone present, and then continued to admonish:

"Secondly, among the people of Douluo Continent, there are indeed a group of people who are born bad and do not know right from wrong, such as those guys who mindlessly promote the rare false god cult. Your point of view is correct. Such people cannot be educated. No matter how many there are, they must all be killed, leaving no one alive!

If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. The good or bad of a person is enough to prove the good or bad of their family tradition. In the future, after our family unifies Douluo Continent, the relatives of those people within nine generations will not be allowed to hold any official positions, own any wealth, or move around freely. They will all be taken to the extreme north to mine. They have exploited the people for generations, and it is time to give them back.

But! The vast majority of the people are not as ignorant and ungrateful as you say! They are the cutest people. The history of Douluo Continent not only has the magnificent history of the soul master world, but ordinary people are also the most important part of history. Without them, there would be no human race today.

As you said before, most people are illiterate, unable to eat, have never traveled far, and have limited vision and knowledge. But! Is this their problem? Is it that they are unwilling to learn? Is it that they are unwilling to increase their wisdom?

Of course not, it's because they have been bound to the same place all their lives, and no one has educated them. In other words, some people don't want them to open their minds, and want them to be muddleheaded and work like cows and horses all their lives! As long as they are not from aristocratic families, as long as they are not the bad seeds mentioned above, all the oppressed non-spiritual masters and civilians should be the objects of our solidarity.

For example, the common people living in Longxing City have solved the problem of food and clothing and have free time to think, but their minds are still ignorant. They are obsessed with brothels and pay attention to trivial matters such as actors and singers all day long. The reason is that the aristocratic families not only monopolize knowledge, but also spread wrong knowledge to them.

Chapter 172 Solution

Zhuang Xingyu continued to warn the core elders who were accompanying him, "Third, don't underestimate the power of the common people in Douluo Continent. They may seem weak and vulnerable, but that's because they are very patient. As long as they can see even a glimmer of hope, they will not stand up and resist."

"But you can't learn the 2.6 gold soul coins method implemented by the Star Luo Empire! In the current Douluo Continent, an ordinary family of three who are not soul masters needs 1 gold soul coins a year to maintain basic expenses. However, the Star Luo Empire uses taxation and other means to only allow civilians to earn 3 gold soul coins a year, forcing the people to work hard, but they dare not resist, in order to achieve the purpose of exploiting the civilians and the poor."

"The Xingluo Imperial Family made the poor civilians of the Xingluo Empire owe at least 0.4 gold soul coins every year, making the people live in a half-dead state, and living in a daze all day long. Every few years, the elderly in the family would starve to death or their children would be sold. Any marriage or minor illness could make them unable to recover for more than ten years."

"This is an extremely cruel and evil act. The Xingluo Imperial Family does not treat their people as human beings, but as animals. I can't imagine which emperor of the Xingluo Empire came up with this vicious plan. I will never allow such a disaster to happen within the area controlled by the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan!"

"After returning to the family, I will revise the family rules and add this clause. Anyone who dares to cross this red line will be killed immediately along with his parents and children. I will never forgive him!"

The core elders present swore one after another, "Please rest assured, Young Clan Leader, we will never learn the strategy of the Star Luo Empire's 2.6 Gold Soul Coins, we will never learn any similar strategies, and we will never have such an idea!"

Zhuang Xingyu nodded with satisfaction. These people had all experienced the family's decline and had lived a hard life. They were relatively reliable and there was no problem. As for the next few generations, Zhuang Xingyu might need to clean up the family again.

"Fourthly, the difficulties you mentioned are real, but they are only the ultimate goal. If we could overcome them all, the family would have unified Douluo Continent long ago. It is precisely because the family has not yet unified Douluo Continent that we need to overcome these difficulties bit by bit. My original words are to see results within a year, not to let you completely solve this problem within a year."

"Since most of the people are illiterate, you have to be flexible. Here are a few simple methods. First, make up some nursery rhymes and let the people sing them. This will subtly improve the family's image, for example: No need to count, no need to calculate, the Tiandou royal family is three and a half thousand years old; the one who died in the Spirit Hall was a Rakshasa; Qian Yixue, Qian Yixue, etc."

"Second, don't preach big truths to the people. Tell them simple and easy-to-understand short stories or fables that clearly distinguish between good and evil, such as bedtime stories for children, operas, storytelling, plays, etc. Integrate these things into their lives and let them spread them consciously. The content should talk about good people and good deeds, and that justice will eventually triumph over evil, and warn them to be kind and harmonious. Most importantly, the decent characters in it must be from my Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan! Those big demons and big villains are all other forces."

"Three, for example, spread some prophecies in advance and create some miracles, such as spreading the prophecy of 'Don't say that the stone man has one eye, the soul river jumps and the world rebels', and after a while, place a huge one-eyed stone man in the soul river in the Xingluo Empire, and accidentally discover it by the villagers; another example: 'The main artifact of the factory soil'.

 …”

"But you must be rigorous and not make a joke like the fake history fabricated by the Xixu Cult! Although the five core elders are responsible for this matter, the rest of you must also actively cooperate and help, use your brains, and come up with some good ideas."

Several core elders received the order, "We will obey the orders of the Young Clan Leader! We will complete the mission at the cost of our lives!"

Fake is deceptive, real is touching

Zhuang Xingyu had no pressure and felt at ease with the above operations. How could it be called a fake? Compared with other places in Douluo Continent, the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan was a paradise!

Zhuang Xingyu himself is the descendant of gods. If he uses the fragments of Chaos Orb, he will have god-level combat power. What Zhuang Xingyu created is called a miracle. There is nothing wrong with it and it is not fake.

All is fair in war, and those who play political games are like this. Isn't propaganda work just to deceive people with lies and move them with truth? The orders that Zhuang Xingyu ordered were just the beginning. At least most of them were true, and at least he didn't do anything to let the people down. Compared with those real politicians, Zhuang Xingyu is completely a rookie, and he can only show his skills a few times in this love continent.

After explaining these things, Zhuang Xingyu asked the rest of the people to leave.

"Huh." Zhuang Xingyu sat alone in the room and breathed a sigh of relief. "Sure enough, I am not suitable for these intrigues. It's too tiring. Fortunately, this is a fantasy world. Even if it is just a sewer, it is a place that worships personal strength and immortality. I can just take charge of the overall power without worrying too much about my subordinates rebelling. Otherwise, I would have to get one official position after another, which would be a headache just thinking about it."

……

At the Qi Wang Mansion in Tiandou City, the convoy of the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan passed through Tiandou City and rested for a day in their own mansion. Zhuang Xingyu did not plan to continue investigating the grassroots and returned to the family directly and quickly.

I have gained a lot from my travels in the past few days. The fusion of the four fields has been basically completed. I just need to pass the last membrane. I will be able to complete it after returning to the family and retreating for a few days. I will complete the fourth test.

"Report, Young Clan Leader, the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire is here to visit."

"Oh, come in." Zhuang Xingyu asked someone to invite Xue Qinghe in.

Xue Qinghe walked in. "Xingyu, please forgive me for my sudden visit! You will be leaving Tiandou City and returning to Jidao Yinyang Bao City. You and I are both busy with our own things. I don't know when we will meet again in the future. I am very reluctant to leave, so I came here to spend more time with you, my brother."

Obviously, it was just a normal farewell statement, but coming from Xue Qinghe's mouth, it made people feel warm and favorable. It must be said that Qian Renxue disguised herself very well in this regard.

"Brother Qinghe, you are too polite. We are separated only for a better reunion. When we meet again, I hope we can both become better versions of ourselves. Then we can drink and chat happily together. Wouldn't that be great?"

"That's true, but a true friend is hard to find! Although we haven't been together for a long time, Xingyu, you are the only good friend among my peers that I have had since childhood." Xue Qinghe's face was full of reluctance, 7% of which was fake, but 3% was real.

Chapter 173 Zhuang Xingyu: Qian Renxue, you don’t want your secret either

Expose it!

Qian Renxue was born into a noble family. Her father died early and was disliked by her mother. She lacked love very much. When she was young, she had no friends around her. Except for her grandfather, there was almost no one else who talked to her.

When she was a little older, she was sent in as an undercover agent to fight for the throne, engage in intrigue and deception, and deal with old foxes like Ning Fengzhi all day long. She had no friends at all. People around her were either afraid of her, had something to ask of her, or wanted to use her, and would not communicate with her normally.

Qian Renxue considers herself to have a god-level martial soul, an innate super soul power of level 20, and she is the descendant of a god and the granddaughter of an Ultimate Douluo. She is very arrogant and self-admiring, and thinks that no one is worthy of standing on the same level with her.

Until she met Zhuang Xingyu, the heir of the gods who was highly praised by her grandfather Qian Daoliu, who was 13 years old and level 69, with purple, black and red soul rings, and a talent that was even more amazing than hers, and his background was not weak either. Qian Renxue had always set him as her strongest opponent in her heart, and she pondered every day about comparing herself with Zhuang Xingyu. After a long time, she actually had some different thoughts.

All we can say is that admiration for the strong is human instinct. It is an influence engraved in the genes of humans in primitive times in order to survive, resist danger, and spread bloodlines.

Perhaps, it was also due to Zhuang Xingyu's second martial soul. The Hongmeng Tianchi martial soul was the brightest and most holy martial soul in the world, and the level of the golden light of merit on it was countless levels higher than the angel's divine power. Therefore, Qian Renxue, who possessed the six-winged angel martial soul, was extremely attractive, and had a lot of good feelings when they first met.

Zhuang Xingyu patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder and said, "Brother Qinghe, you are a real man, why are you acting like a girl? A bosom friend is a friend indeed. As long as there is true love between friends, no matter where they are, it is no different as if they were together!"

Although Zhuang Xingyu is more than 9 years younger than Qian Renxue, he is now two meters tall, with a strong back and strong arms, showing his masculinity.

Qian Renxue savored the poem carefully and couldn't help but applaud, "A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near. Wonderful, so wonderful, I didn't expect that Xingyu, in addition to your unrivaled talent in cultivation, you also have such talent in poetry. This sentence alone has surpassed all the poems in the history of Douluo Continent, and it will be difficult for anyone to surpass it in the future. I admire you, I admire you!"

"Ahem, thank you for the compliment. I didn't write this poem. It was written by a talented young man named Wang whom I met while traveling." Zhuang Xingyu waved his hands quickly. He didn't want this kind of false reputation that didn't belong to him. If Zhuang Xingyu was a person with no soul power or low innate soul power, he would definitely copy a few poems and songs to make a living and increase his popularity. But with his current status, he doesn't need to create a literary giant to increase his own bargaining chips.

More importantly, it is not so easy to establish the character of a literary giant. It is not enough to just recite a few poems without knowing any professional terms. Not to mention anything else, you may not even be able to explain the poems you have recited. You must have a solid foundation in poetry and songs.

You have to know that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being fat, and tall trees attract the wind. Many people will be jealous of your talent and will trip you up. If you don't have real skills, you will be exposed if others come up with a few couplets you haven't seen before. After all, if you can write such a literary poem, but you can't do anything closely related to it, it's too fake.

Moreover, the speech, manners, and demeanor of such great writers are difficult to imitate, especially their eyes.

But the fact is: most people don’t even understand the most basic rhyme of poetry, including Zhuang Xingyu.

"Xingyu, you are too modest. The author of such a poem that is worthy of being sung for eternity cannot be unknown. Before you, I have never heard of any great poet named Wang. This is the first time I heard this poem from you. It is obvious that you, Xingyu, improvised it!" Xue Qinghe directly determined that it was written by Zhuang Xingyu.

Zhuang Xingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his glass and clinked it with Xue Qinghe's. "Come on, drink, drink!"

"Okay, today, you and I won't go home until we are drunk!"

The wine glasses were flowing and the place was in a mess.

……

The two talked about life, philosophy, fun things and ideals. After some wrangling, they finally got down to business and talked about the current situation in Douluo Continent. Eh, it seems that no matter which world the intelligent creatures are from, they like to beat around the bush and win without fighting. Every sentence can hide a lot of meanings. People who don't understand think it's just a normal chat between ordinary friends, but in fact, they have completed the game and finalized the plan in a roundabout way and without making a sound.

(Please forgive the author's limited knowledge and level of writing for this level of dialogue. Please refer to the speeches of officials such as the Grand Herald of the Han Dynasty.)

Xue Qinghe asked: "Xingyu, what do you think of the Spirit Hall? Do you think the Spirit Hall will endanger your family's dominance in Douluo Continent?"

Zhuang Xingyu replied with certainty: "What do I think of the Spirit Hall? Before Bibi Dong took over, the Spirit Hall had more merits than faults; but after Bibi Dong took over, it had faults but no merits. If Bibi Dong is allowed to continue to do what she wants, without the intervention of other forces, within 15 years, the Spirit Hall will perish on its own and completely disappear into history."

"It's good that the Spirit Hall is destroyed. In this way, my Tiandou Empire and your Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan don't have to worry about Bibi Dong disrupting the normal order of Douluo Continent." Xue Qinghe first pretended to agree and cheered, then changed the subject.

“However, Xingyu, why are you so sure that the Spirit Hall will perish? After all, the Spirit Hall is a force that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. It is said that it is also the inheritance of the Angel God. It shouldn’t be so easy to be destroyed!”

Zhuang Xingyu did not answer. Instead, he leaned forward and put his head next to Qian Renxue's ear, breathing his fiery masculine energy into Qian Renxue's ear.

Qian Renxue was very nervous, even her disguised form had a slightly red face. This was the first time she had such close contact with a member of the opposite sex other than Grandpa Chu and her father, and it was also a member of the opposite sex she had a crush on.

Zhuang Xingyu's voice rang in Qian Renxue's ears, "Then it depends on the game between the angels and the Rakshasa God!"

Qian Renxue was so nervous that she couldn't speak. "What, what do you mean? Isn't the legendary god of the Spirit Hall the Angel God? Why are they competing with the Rakshasa God? Which god is the Rakshasa God? Why can't I understand what you are saying at all? Xingyu, you must be drunk."

Zhuang Xingyu smiled and suddenly grabbed Qian Renxue's hands to prevent her from escaping. "You should know what I mean better than anyone else. You are the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, the 99th-level Extreme Douluo Grand Priest of the Spirit Hall, the daughter of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, and the little angel Qian Renxue who is carrying out the plan to steal the country. Hello!" A portrait of Qian Renxue was also opened by Zhuang Xingyu using his soul power.

Qian Renxue thought her disguise was flawless. After hearing what Zhuang Xingyu said, she still thought that the other party was just trying to trick her and continued to try to make excuses. However, when she saw her own portrait, she no longer dared to harbor luck. She never expected that her biggest secret would be revealed (what she thought was her biggest secret). Without even thinking about why Zhuang Xingyu knew these things, she struggled violently and tried to escape.

But no matter how she struggled, she could not escape Zhuang Xingyu's restraints.

Zhuang Xingyu used the Chaos Orb's forbidden-breaking function in his mind to directly break Qian Renxue's disguise, revealing her true appearance. "Qian Renxue, you don't want your secret to be exposed, do you?"

Qian Renxue also regained her composure at this moment. Since the other party knew her identity and had a way to easily break her disguise, he chose to reveal her disguise in the room of Prince Qi's Mansion where there was no third person, and said this. It was obvious that he did not intend to reveal her identity to the public at this stage.

"Master Xingyu, what are your conditions?"

Chapter 174 Douluo Continent Best Acting Award is none other than Qian Renxue

Qian Renxue appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually panicking inside. She couldn't imagine that her first duel with Zhuang Xingyu would be like this. Although Zhuang Xingyu attacked her suddenly, she was a Soul Sage.

You have to know that level 70 is a big bottleneck. Compared with the gap between level 50 and level 60, level 60 and level 70 are simply a world of difference. The Soul Saint realm can not only summon the martial soul body, but also greatly improve other aspects.

She was one major level higher than Zhuang Xingyu, and had a fighting power comparable to that of an ordinary title holder, yet she was defeated so quickly.

Qian Renxue forced a smile and pretended to be calm as she discussed the conditions with Zhuang Xingyu. "Young Master Xingyu, since you know my identity, you should understand my status in the angel lineage. If I get hurt, my grandfather will definitely mobilize the entire Spirit Hall to attack your Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan and go to war with your Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. This will not benefit either of our forces. Instead, the fisherman will benefit while the snipe and the clam fight, leaving the rest of us to take advantage."
