Chapter 947: Chapter 12 I am the Number One Cultivator in Lu Country

The news of Lu Country’s top cultivator advancing finally began to spread globally.

A universal truth is: when you don’t know how to explain something to the people, you shouldn’t let them know about it.

Conversely, if you have prepared a clear explanation, you can openly disclose it to the public.

The Deputy Director of Miti Country’s Homeland Strategic Bureau, known for his extremely tough stance against Lu Country, Marshall Langfellow, has recently visited several countries in Europe, delivering the famous speech “The Western World and the Enemy of Modern Civilization”. In it, he mentions, “If strength isn’t equal, negotiation is meaningless”, asserting that Yan Yu’s promotion has disrupted the balance of power between the Eastern and Western Worlds, and is attempting to lead Lu Country back to a global dominance position it held a thousand years ago.

“…Lu Country is most skilled at employing gentle strategies alongside a sharp blade. Instead of directly using daunting military force, they prefer assimilating and absorbing other nations through covert cultural invasion. For example, ancient Chongying, Goryeo, and Southeast Asia were long under the cultural colonization of Lu Country, completely losing the ability to develop their own civilizations independently. Even after the modern liberation of nations worldwide, these nationalities still invariably use Lu Country’s chopsticks, learn Lu Country’s characters, and think problems through with Lu Country’s habitual mindset.”

“If we do not stop Lu Country from becoming a global hegemon, the current state of global cultural diversity will inevitably suffer tremendous damage. The civilizational order built by the Western World will be utterly overturned, and all the familiar good things we know will be gone with the wind. Over time, our children will be molded into beings we don’t recognize; they will only know about Lu Country’s New Year but not Christmas Eve, only know Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties but not Greece and Rome, only see the beacon of civilization standing in the far east of Asia but forget that their ancestors also established magnificent nations in Europe and America!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are not fighting for the hegemony of the Western World, but for our survival and continuation! For our children to still be able to stand tall and proudly say, ‘I am from Europe, I am from America,’ and not shamefully admit they come from a non-Eastern world!”

Soon, Marshall’s remarks were hailed as “the formation and fall of a new Iron Curtain”, sparking a strong anti-Eastern wave in the Western World… at least in terms of momentum.

No matter how impassioned the rhetoric, it cannot withstand the bombardments of Flying Sword and Taoism Method. Justice is worthless below the Golden Core Realm.

Thus, the leaders of Western countries almost immediately reached a consensus: to fully support Chongying’s Yin Yang Bureau to counteract Lu Country.

Push the front lines forward, do not let the opponent continue to develop in an advantageous position; but if the opponent can’t hold back and decides to strike, no one is willing to bear the brunt, so it’s best to let those from Chongying deal with Lu Country.

“It’s not surprising.” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “If you were rampaging everywhere right now, people might feel more assured; but since you’re staying within Lu Country and not going anywhere, everyone can guess that Lu Country is trying to produce a second and third Golden Core, so it would be strange if they remained calm.”

“Being calm or not doesn’t matter.” Yan Yu sneered, “Unless they all come together right now to unite and attack Lu Country’s homeland, but can they do it?”

“They cannot.” Chen Lingyun slowly said.

The Western World is never united; even if they superficially get along well, everyone thinks about eating the cake themselves and letting others bear the brunt. If Lu Country actually sent Yan Yu out to wreak havoc, then under extreme threat, they would still have the possibility of banding together for self-protection… but Lu Country has eliminated even this last variable.

What can the fallen Iron Curtain do again? If one shoots first, that one is doomed, if no one shoots, then Lu Country definitely wins.

“By the way, you’ve been taking leave too frequently recently.” Yan Yu suddenly asked suspiciously, “Going out three or four times a week, what have you been doing?”

“Meeting up with the kept pretty boy I’m supporting.” Chen Lingyun blinked mischievously.

“Cut it out.” Yan Yu immediately saw through her ill intentions, “Pretty boy, huh. It’s already good enough for you, a Sky Dragonian, to keep a slave to order around. Even if you have a lot of free time, it’s not meant to be squandered; you should think about how you’ll Cross the Tribulation instead. The Ghost Summoner profession is severely countered by heavenly tribulation.”

“Is that so.” Chen Lingyun smiled cheerfully, “I remember it was you who suggested I choose the Ghost Summoner profession. Do you have anything to say about it?”

“Indeed.” Yan Yu stood up, looking down at her from above and laughed heartily, “The reason I suggested it back then was to enjoy seeing you panic now! Yin Ghosts are naturally countered by Tribulation Thunder, now other than asking me for help, you have no other way out, right? Come ask me, maybe if I’m in a good mood, I might lend you the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword!”

“Should I kneel?” Chen Lingyun compliantly said.

“Kneel and lick.” Yan Yu said proudly.

So Chen Lingyun pretended to squat down while reaching for his pants…

“Wait, what are you doing!” Yan Yu immediately tightened his belt, not letting this cunning woman succeed.

“Didn’t you say to kneel and lick you?” Chen Lingyun put on an innocent and pure expression.

Although he knew she was pretending to be dumb, her impeccably delicate face paired with her top-notch, innocent acting, indeed made Yan Yu tempted to err.
