The outco is clear, no need for Deng Yingjue to say it.
Wang Ba has already guessed the developnt that follows. It's nothing more than Wan Hainteng recklessly slaughtering families, refining all the cultivators of the Green Flood Dragon Realm, naturally eliminating any concerns of trouble arising from them.
His heart felt heavy for a mont.
He wasn't unfamiliar with such Demon Dao practices.
For so demon cultivators, cultivators, and living beings in their eyes are rely resources.
But what he couldn't quite accept was the demise of the Green Flood Dragon Realm, to so extent, was caused by the Dao Treasure he unintentionally gave away.
Seeing Wang Ba's expression, it seed Deng Yingjue also detected Wang Ba's thoughts. He remained silent for a while, shook his head, and said:
"Sir, don't think this matter started because of that Dao Treasure... Actually, if only I could bear to give away this Dao Treasure, there wouldn't be this incident. I can only bla myself."
"Moreover, even without this incident, given the nature of the Wan Family, sooner or later we'd beco a dish on their plate. Rogue cultivators on the outskirts of She Mansion often vanished mysteriously. I didn't know the reason before, but now it seems it's the work of the Wan Family."
"Much like Wan Hainteng's Demon Dao magic treasure, the one being sacrificed isn't just our Green Flood Dragon Realm... It's rely brought forward now."
Within coincidence lies inevitability.
The Dao Treasure is just a trigger; the real fault lies with the Qingluo Wan Family.
Wang Ba understood this principle but found it hard to truly convince himself.
He had his own path.
Beside him, the Tenth Son of Yin hesitated slightly, then softly spoke next to Wang Ba:
"Such matters are quite common within Zhang's Ruins. Our Yin Family, Spirit Origin Prefecture, Illusion Sky Realm, Longcong Prefecture, Golden Water Pond... because we hold the entrance to Zhang's Ruins, our resources are decent. Hence, there's no need to plunder rogue cultivators to satisfy our own family's cultivation."
"But within Zhang's Ruins, there aren't so many resources, so naturally each family can only prey on rogue cultivators. Especially in recent years, those evil monks of the Supre True Buddha have breached many domains, leading to more rogue cultivators coming to Zhang's Ruins than before. Resources within the Ruins are already limited, and with more people, there's increased competition. These forces take action much more..."
He thought for a mont and finally used the word 'unscrupulous' to describe the thods of these people.
Then he ntioned an unspoken rule among all the Crossing Tribulation forces:
"Especially rogue cultivators like those in the Green Flood Dragon Realm with larger populations are particularly targeted by them. They don't want new Crossing Tribulation forces to erge within the Ruins to compete for resources. So, this Dao Treasure is likely just an excuse; actually, the Wan Family people were probably targeting this Taoist Friend Deng all along."
Though the Tenth Son of Yin wasn't of a high realm, he had spent years by the side of Yin Fu, the Chief of the Yin Ruins Arena, viewing these matters clearly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba's mood slightly improved, while Deng Yingjue stood stunned.
"Could it be... Is it really because of this reason?!"
He always believed it was due to his own decisions. Yet upon hearing the Tenth Son of Yin's analysis, he suddenly realized that their very existence was already a thorn in the side of the Wan Family.
"To them, you're indeed just a dish waiting to be harvested when grown lush, after all, new rogue cultivators will likely arrive later, they don't care about what you think."
"Sotis, if you're not the one eating, then perhaps you're on the dining table."
The Tenth Son of Yin bluntly pointed out.
He heard this from the elders of the Yin Family, and now it served its purpose.
Listening to this cruel reality, Deng Yingjue couldn't help but stand there stunned.
Wang Ba picked up on a hint and slightly frowned as he looked at the Tenth Son of Yin:
"So, among the forces within Zhang's Ruins, could it be that they hope the Supre True Buddha continues to exist?"
The Tenth Son of Yin was montarily caught off guard by Wang Ba's question. He hesitated, speaking from what he had heard from Yin Fu or other prominent figures of the Yin Family, unable to make a real judgnt himself, he hesitated:
"Probably, probably they do?"
"We certainly don't want to see those evil monks of the Supre True Buddha..."
But neither do they reject them.
Wang Ba secretly added this thought in his mind.
After all, he was the master of the realm, his vision and judgnt naturally couldn't be compared to the Tenth Son of Yin.
The Supre True Buddha's forces disturbed the Realm Sea, causing disasters across nurous domains, resulting in many rogue cultivators.
And for the forces within Zhang's Ruins, these rogue cultivators are like fat sheep.
From the perspective of imdiate interests, every Crossing Tribulation force within Zhang's Ruins, without exception, benefits from this.
Even the Yin Family of White Canal, though the Tenth Son of Yin spoke nicely, they controlled the entrance to Zhang's Ruins, requiring every rogue cultivator wishing to settle in the Ruins to be skimd on the surface by them first.
Of course, this has nothing to do with good or evil; acting for one's own survival naturally prioritizes interest.
But once interests have proximity and distance, disputes among forces are inevitable.
For example, forces guarding the entrance reap current benefits but view the Supre True Buddha as a great enemy.
While forces within the Ruins benefit far less than external forces, they may wish for the Supre True Buddha to continue existing longer, ideally to fight the external forces to mutual destruction, giving them a chance to replace them.
Similarly, among forces guarding the entrance, various reasons make it difficult to unify interests.
