Chapter 272 The Yin-Yang Family's Choice
The mess at the Xuegong Square yesterday has been repaired. There is no longer any sign of the persecution caused by Yang Chong yesterday, nor is there any smell of blood where many people died on the spot yesterday.

But the damaged square has been repaired, and the bloody smell can be dissipated with the breeze, but the shock left by Yang Chong in people's hearts will not disappear so easily. Yesterday, masters from various schools of thought witnessed the birth of the myth.

"Now, we have to make a choice." In the Yin-Yang family's headquarters, Donghuang Taiyi, who always believed that he knew and controlled his fate, began to waver in the decision in his plan.

Originally, he had chosen to cooperate with the State of Qin. This was the best option in his deduction. He could use the power of the State of Qin to achieve his own pursuits, and the State of Qin also needed the Yin-Yang School to improve its rule. This was a win-win situation for both parties. But now, Donghuang Taiyi had doubts about this.

"Your Excellency Donghuang, the Yin-Yang family is about to cooperate with the Qin State. Isn't this a plan that our Yin-Yang family has already made?" Yan Fei looked at Donghuang Taiyi in confusion. She didn't feel anything about the terrifying swordsmanship that Yang Chong displayed yesterday.

No matter how strong Yang Chong is, what does it have to do with her?
Even if Yang Chong is the King of Qi, so what?
It's just irrelevant after all.

Seeing that Donghuang Taiyi remained silent and seemed to be still hesitant, Yan Fei said again: "Your Excellency Donghuang, we need the luck of Qin. In terms of national luck alone, none of the seven countries in the world can compare with Qin, not even Qi."

Yan Fei's words gave Donghuang Taiyi an idea. He needed to rely on the luck of a country to turn the domain from virtual to real, but not just any country's luck could meet this requirement.

The first requirement is that the country’s destiny must be stable enough, but the question of whether it is strong or not is the most important.

After all, a person, even a master, is just one person in front of a country. Even the luck of South Korea is enough for Donghuang Taiyi.

But stability is different. In this era, which was later called the Warring States Period, a country's national strength could change overnight.

How arrogant the Wei State was back then. It bullied the Qin State in the west, kicked the Qi State in the east, and occasionally beat up the Zhao State in the north. If it felt like it, it could also attack the Chu State in the south. It was the only overlord in the world at that time.

But what happened next? In less than 20 years, in the east, after two defeats against Qi, the Wei Wuzu army was almost annihilated. In the west, all the land west of the Yellow River was lost, and even the old capital Anyi became a city of Qin.

The former overlord has become the now lingering Wei State.

The Qi State was once as powerful as the Qin State, and the title of Eastern Emperor was unique in the world. But now? Only the Northern and Southern Qi are left.

The State of Chu during the reign of King Huai of Chu and the State of Zhao during the reign of King Huiwen of Zhao, which one was not a powerful country in the world? But what about now?

The State of Chu was in the southeast, the State of Zhao was left with only a strong army to barely support it, and the State of Wei became a younger brother of the State of Qin.

The position of the most powerful country in the world took turns, and only the Qin State remained consistently powerful.

With the word "stable", Qin has defeated the six kingdoms.

Especially in the face of the stability that Qin had maintained for six generations, Yang Chong's rise was too fast. Although Yang Chong had defeated Qin twice in the two major wars in the past year, he had demonstrated his strength and let the world see the potential of Qi.

But if a country is only strong because of one person, it will also decline because of one person. The current Northern Qi seems to have the power to resist the Qin State, but that is only because of Yang Chong.

Moreover, Yang Chong’s style of fighting against the Qin army in the previous two battles was too risky. Although he won, could such a fighting style of walking on the edge of a knife really lead to victory all the time?

Not to mention anything else, if Li Mu of Zhao had not emerged out of nowhere in the last victory, what would have been waiting for Yang Chong?
Donghuang Taiyi thought about it and felt that compared to Yang Chong, who might succeed, Qin Shihuang Zheng, who had an absolute advantage, was the most suitable partner.

The hesitation in Donghuang Taiyi's heart gradually disappeared. Choice is inevitable for everyone, but everyone's performance when faced with the choice is different. Donghuang Taiyi is obviously a very decisive person.

After a brief hesitation, he had made a decision. Compared with the possible successful King Chong of Qi, King Zheng of Qin would be safer. He was no longer young and could not take too much risk.

"I am the one who is wavering. Qin is indeed our best choice." Donghuang Taiyi said without any hesitation.

Although Yang Chong made him waver in his plan for a time, Donghuang Taiyi did not regret this trip to Linzi, because the sword world allowed him to see the world he had deduced, and showed him that the path he had deduced was worth pursuing.

"Qin is indeed our best choice." Yan Fei said.

She had stayed in Linzi longer than Donghuang Taiyi. Although the various abilities displayed by Yang Chong also amazed her, that was all. She only regarded Yang Chong as a genius and did not have any other feelings. She was even quite disgusted with some aspects of Yang Chong's behavior.

Besides, what she just said was indeed true.

She has stayed in Linzi long enough, and it is time to leave.

However, Yan Fei convinced Donghuang Taiyi with the importance of safety, but could not convince the other person. Or it could be said that both Donghuang Taiyi and Yan Fei had their reasons for prioritizing safety, but the other person just could not pursue safety.

This person is the Moon God.

Yan Fei is already the Dong Jun of the Yin Yang Family, and is the second person in the Yin Yang Family besides Dong Huang Tai Yi. If nothing unexpected happens, if Dong Huang Tai Yi leaves, Yan Fei, the Dong Jun, will be the next leader of the Yin Yang Family, but Yue Shen is different.

Although Yue Shen's status in the Yin-Yang family is higher than that of the five elders, that's all. From childhood to adulthood, she has always been suppressed by Yan Fei, and it will only be so in the future.

They are all women with extraordinary talents and beautiful looks, and they are all arrogant. Yue Shen has always been unwilling to accept such a situation, but she also knows that Yan Fei's cultivation talent is indeed better than hers. Even though she has never slackened in her cultivation over the years, her strength is always a little bit worse than Yan Fei. Although this little bit is not much, it makes her always stand behind Yan Fei and watch her back.

But what the Moon Goddess wanted was to leave Yan Fei behind her. This had almost become the Moon Goddess's obsession.

Therefore, regarding how to choose between Qin and Qi, Yue Shen had different ideas from Donghuang Taiyi and Yan Fei.

Only those who are truly powerful and have status are qualified to choose safety. Yue Shen does not have such qualifications, and she still has too many things that she is unwilling to accept.

Therefore, although they grew up together and had a profound influence on each other, Yueshen and Yanfei saw different things in Yang Chong. Yanfei saw Yang Chong's madness, but Yueshen saw a man's indomitable spirit.

So when Yan Fei persuaded Donghuang Taiyi to choose Qin, Yue Shen had a different opinion. Of course, she herself did not care about changing Donghuang Taiyi's decision, and even Yan Fei was not qualified to do so.

The reason why Yan Fei was able to persuade Donghuang Taiyi to choose Qin was simply because Donghuang Taiyi was more inclined towards Qin in his heart.

Neither the Moon Goddess nor Yan Fei has the ability to decide Donghuang Taiyi's choice, but just as Yan Fei can make Donghuang Taiyi make a decision as soon as possible, although they cannot change anything in the big picture, they can make changes in the details.

And now Yue Shen wants to make such a change. She no longer wants to endure the feeling of always standing behind Yan Fei and calling her sister.

So the Moon Goddess, who had never spoken from beginning to end, spoke at this time. This time she wanted to take a gamble. She would put all her chips on Yang Chong. Since Yan Fei asked for stability, then she would ask for stability.

This was her only chance to win.

"Your Excellency Donghuang, Qi Wang Chong has defeated Qin twice. As for the problem of Qi being divided into two, to be honest, when Tian Jian in the south controlled the entire Qi, he was defeated by Qi Wang Chong with an absolutely weak force. Now the balance of power between the two sides has completely reversed. Even if Tian Jian has the help of Qin, it is hard to say how many years he can hold on under Qi Wang Chong."

What the Moon Goddess said made Donghuang Taiyi think more. Of course, his decision to cooperate with King Zheng of Qin would not change, but he also realized that he could not give up completely on the State of Qi.

The way for various schools of thought to survive is to move freely among the nations. It seems that it is not advisable to take a gamble on everything.

"The power of King Chong of Qi lies only in himself. In the competition between countries, the role that one person can play is ultimately limited. Now the trend of Qin is set. Under this magnificent trend, it is impossible for one person to change it in a short period of time." Yan Fei reminded that Qi is by no means a good choice for the Yin-Yang family.

"And Qin suffered a great loss at the hands of Zhao not long ago. Over the years, Qin has indeed become stronger, but Zhao is still able to fight. Chu is crippled but not dead, and Qin has already lost twice at the hands of Qi Wang Chong. In the future, although Qi Wang Chong may not have many chances, it cannot be said that he has no chance of winning. If he sees no hope, why should he bet everything on Qi?" The Moon Goddess ignored Yan Fei and still insisted on her own opinion. She was determined to make this bet.

"Moon Goddess, please continue." Donghuang Taiyi was troubled by Moon Goddess' words. He also believed that Moon Goddess must be thinking the same thing.

"Of course, the Yin-Yang School needs to cooperate with the Qin State, but this does not mean that we have to completely side with the Qin State. We have many disciples in the Yin-Yang School, do we have to let all of them work for the Qin State?" When the Moon Goddess said this, she had almost made her opinion clear.

The Yin-Yang School does not need all its disciples to serve the Qin State. Naturally, some disciples can serve the Qi State. Who can this disciple be?

This disciple is naturally not someone you can just pick randomly. Although Qi Wang Chong rose to prominence very quickly and therefore lacks foundation, not everyone is qualified to work for Qi Wang Chong.

Therefore, this person must have a sufficient status within the Yin-Yang School and must have sufficient ability to be a talent that King Qi Chong can take seriously.

Although the Yin-Yang School is not small and has many disciples, not many meet these two conditions. Among the five elders, Yun Zhongjun likes to make elixirs, Shun is not familiar with worldly things, Da Siming only knows how to fight, Shao Siming is too simple, and the position of Xinghun is temporarily vacant. After eliminating all of them, there seems to be only one person who meets the requirements and is the most suitable person, and that is the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess, whose status in the Yin-Yang family is even higher than that of the five elders, is among the best in martial arts among her peers, not inferior to Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang. But this is not what the Moon Goddess is best at. The Moon Goddess is best at divination, which is the best in the world. There are not many people in the world who can surpass the Moon God in divination.

A country must have people who are good at divination. Not to mention other things, when holding a ceremony or deciding when to go to war, all these things require a fortune teller.

It can be said that if Yue Shen stayed in Linzi to serve Qi Wang Chong, Qi Wang Chong would definitely value Yue Shen. Talents like Yue Shen would be valued in any country.

What's more... Yan Fei's gaze was moving on the face of the Moon Goddess, who was as beautiful as a fairy from the Moon Palace. Qi Wang Chong was a lustful man. The wives and concubines around him were useless except for their beautiful looks. It was obvious that Yang Chong was a lustful man who only cared about looks.

If a beauty like Yueshen stayed in Linzi, she would have to serve King Chong of Qi, and might even have to serve in the harem.

Yan Fei didn't want to see such a thing. She didn't think there was anyone worthy of her junior sister.

"Sister, let's go to Qin together." Yan Fei said.

"Moon Goddess, have you made up your mind?" Donghuang Taiyi asked.

Although he had decided to go to the State of Qin, he was still curious about the supernatural powers of Yang Chong. Otherwise, he would not have hesitated before.

He chose Qin State not because he was not curious enough about King Chong of Qi, but because Qin State was more tempting to him. Now that he had the best of both worlds, how could Donghuang Taiyi miss it?

"Please allow me to stay, Your Excellency Donghuang. I will definitely be able to open up another path for the Yin-Yang Family in Qi." The Moon Goddess bowed.

This woman, who was as indifferent as the moonlight, was now stubborn and obstinate. No matter how noble and holy the Yin-Yang family members looked, they all had their own distortions deep in their hearts. This was probably the disadvantage of Yin-Yang magic taking a different approach from Taoist exercises.

This is true for the Moon Goddess who seems noble, and the same is true for the Yan Fei who seems dignified and generous.

"Then you stay." Donghuang Taiyi said. The Moon Goddess's suggestion created another possibility for him. A Moon God in exchange for an opportunity. It was such a good deal. Donghuang Taiyi knew very well how to choose.

"Yes." The Moon Goddess responded.

Yan Fei wanted to say something, but she met Donghuang Taiyi's gaze and could only swallow her words.

In the Yin-Yang family, although she is the second person after Donghuang Taiyi, the gap between the first and the second person is like heaven and earth. Donghuang Taiyi is not only the head of the Yin-Yang family, but also the spiritual totem of the Yin-Yang family. This is something that no one in the Yin-Yang family can compare to.

Since Donghuang Taiyi has made a decision, no one can overturn it, not even Yan Fei, the Lord of the East.
