Chapter 697: Don’t Make Mistakes on the Route

After He Lingyun finished speaking, the directors had different expressions, which caused a great response.

The three Dragon Kings seemed to have grasped the last straw. Ao Guang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Master He said it very well. The Demon Alliance regards Jiejiao as its state religion. It is the Jiejiao spirit that unites us, sentient beings of different races, closely together. If we abandon the doctrine, the people of the Demon Alliance will be scattered!"

"Long live Jiejiao!"

Ao Qin and Ao Shun lost no time in raising their hands and shouting slogans: "The Jiejiao people never abandon their fellow Taoists. Five hundred years ago, many Jiejiao ancestors sacrificed their lives just for a sentence like 'Fellow Taoists, please stay'. We, the new generation of Jiejiao believers, should inherit the will of our predecessors and never abandon or give up!"

The directors of the demon and human races all looked down on the dragon kings. The Bull Demon King wrinkled his nose and said, "Lao Guang, Lao Qin, Lao Shun, I'm here to tell you, can you act a little more fake? Everyone here can say that they believe in Jiejiao, except you three dragons."

"Do you really think we don't know? You clearly believe in ancestor worship. In your hearts, the Dragon Ancestor is the greatest. You dream of the return of the Ancestral Dragon, leading the Dragon Clan to sweep the universe and dominate the three realms."

Sister Spider pointed out angrily, "After the Dragon Han catastrophe, you dragons have been keeping a low profile, pretending to be cunning, and relying on the strong. How can you have any stance or belief?"

"I still remember that several Dragon Kings have proposed many times, asking the Demon Alliance to promote freedom of belief and introduce the Western religion. They have also voted against the resolution to expel the Western religion disciples many times."

Gu Changfeng even brought up the past and pointed out bluntly: "You dragons are officials in the heavens, you are the Eight Dragons in the Western Religion, and you joined our demon alliance to do business in the mortal world. You are really good at dealing with people, but now you think of the good things of Jie Religion?"

The three Dragon Kings were speechless after being ridiculed by everyone.

This cannot be blamed on others. The dragon clan has been playing with everyone for so many years and can get along with everyone. Even demon kings like the Bull Demon King are guests of honor of the Dragon King.

They seem to have great diplomatic skills and are good at maneuvering, but the consequence is that no one regards them as truly trustworthy partners.

"Okay, let's all stop talking."

Wen Rui pulled his long beard, thinking and interrupting anxiously: "Junior Sister He reminded me that the essence of our Jiejiao cannot be lost, and we must not do things that forget our roots! A ruthless Jiejiao person would rather die standing than live on his knees! If you are not stubborn, can you be considered a Jiejiao believer?"

"Brother Wen, you dote on your sister-in-law too much, don't you?"

The Bull Demon King was shocked and said in astonishment: "I am not a smart bull, I have figured out this account clearly. If we rashly get involved in the war between gods, Buddhas and demons, we are destined to be victims and there will be no good end!"

"Yes, we have been doing business for so many years, and we have practiced cost-benefit analysis and risk control. I learned that business philosophy from Brother Wen!"

"President, is it necessary for our Chamber of Commerce to risk our lives for those Zhou people? We hope that they will be destroyed as soon as possible and return our great country to us!"

……

Both the demon and human directors tried their best to persuade him.

"That's enough. You usually talk about doctrine, but at the critical moment, you only care about business!"

Wen Rui seemed to have made up his mind. His eyes were stern and he said solemnly, "Regarding the proposal of the shelter plan, no matter what the voting result is, I will veto it with my authority as the chairman of the board. The reason for the veto is that it violates the basic doctrine of Jiejiao." After that, he looked around the round table and said word by word, "I have finished what I want to say. Who is in favor and who is against?"

The Demon Alliance ostensibly practices democratic centralism, with the Supreme Council making collective decisions.

Wen Rui has not exercised his veto power for many years, and he rarely expresses his opinion even on ordinary resolutions. But this time he showed his sharp edge and demonstrated extremely strong personal will.

His eyes flashed with brilliance as he glanced at the directors, and his entire aura was just like that of his cheap father Wen Tianzun, mighty and majestic, like an abyss and a prison.

The three directors of the human race immediately changed their minds. Gu Changfeng stood up and said loudly: "President Wen makes a decision, and we all support it. We will always follow President Wen's instructions!"

Wen Rui's prestige among merchants is so high that the merchants were displaced after the country was destroyed. If Wen Rui had not raised the banner of the Chamber of Commerce, these people would probably have wandered to Uttarakuru and Dongsheng Shenzhou, and would never be able to return to their hometown in Jambu Continent for generation after generation.

Gu Changfeng himself has secretly already reached the maximum level of obedience towards Wen Rui, and it has become a physiological conditioned reflex.

The four demon clan directors looked at each other. The Bull Demon King opened his mouth, swallowed his saliva, and finally lowered his head. He did not dare to say the three fatal words "I object".

The atmosphere has been set here. The Bull Demon King is a bit reckless, but not stupid.

When he was beaten by Wen Rui back then, he felt a little bit unwilling to accept it. But now when he looks at Wen Rui again, he can no longer see through the limit of his strength.

What's more, although this guy talks about democracy on the surface, listens widely to the opinions of the monsters, and respects the monsters' bold speeches for the interests of their own nation, he is actually very cruel and ruthless in private, and has many dirty tricks to deal with the monsters who don't respect him.

The Bull Demon King had heard many demon kings who were forcibly summoned by Wen Rui from Xiniu Hezhou to join the Demon Alliance. This guy held the Queen Nuwa's most precious treasure, the Demon Summoning Banner, in his hand, and the other end of the summoning array was connected to the Ten Absolute Formations. If anyone refused to obey, he could just wave the banner and send them in to turn into blood.

He is clearly the uncrowned Demon King, yet he is pretending to be the democratically elected chairman. The human race is so hypocritical!
Although he was complaining in his heart, the Bull Demon King had a smile on his face, rubbing his hooves in a flattering manner and said: "We, the demon race, also unconditionally support your Excellency, the Chairman's wise decision!"

He Lingyun stared at the domineering Wen Rui infatuatedly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up, thinking that after so many years, his senior brother still adhered to his original intention, cared about the lives of the three realms, and regarded wealth and status as nothing. He was right about him!

Wen Rui suddenly changed his mind, not because he was swayed by his good junior sister's whispering, but because he suddenly discovered that the completion rate of the progress bar of the task of reviving Jiejiao on the system interface was decreasing!
As the saying goes, the world can be destroyed, but the progress bar cannot be reduced!

If you think about it carefully, if the escape strategy is implemented, can the Demon Alliance still be considered an authentic Jiejiao belief group?

The ideological line is wrong. The more knowledge one has, the more reactionary one is. If the fragments of the heavenly truth fabricated by Wen Rui, that is, scientific knowledge, cannot fight for the survival of all living beings, but instead become a tool for a few people to make profits, then everything he does is not to revive Jiejiao.

Without a foundation, all past efforts are castles in the air.

Once faith collapses, no matter how big the force is, or how strong the power is, once the original intention is gone, Jiejiao will be in name only.

Just like what happened in Western religion many years later, when the true Buddha retired and his descendants, including Po Xun, reveled and danced wildly, making all kinds of ugly gestures.
