The Master of Qing Yue Hall knowingly committed a crime, truly abominable to the extreme. After this matter is settled, we must severely punish them! "
The Fourth Palace Master berated the Master of Qing Yue Hall's crimes and was extremely indignant.
But then he changed the topic and continued, "However, how to punish the Master of Qing Yue Hall can be discussed after this matter is settled.
The most important thing right now is to have both sides stop fighting as soon as possible to prevent the situation from escalating.
Moreover, we can't appear to be too impatient. That way, Bo Re is definitely not a stupid person.
Previously, when the Second Palace Master personally went to Seven Moon Mountain to invite her, his attitude was rather intimate and warm. I'm afraid that she has already become suspicious.
Now, if we order Qing Yue Hall to stop fighting, with her intelligence, she will definitely guess that we have something to ask of her.
In the future, she will have the upper hand, and it will be very difficult for us to get her to cooperate. "
It was very clear that the Kongming Temple wanted to use the Bo Re God Emperor and her tens of thousands of soldiers.
But they also did not want the Bo Re God Emperor to think that she and her soldiers were very important and could be used as bargaining chips to negotiate with the Kongming Temple.
The Palace Masters were all silent, pondering how to deal with this thorny matter.
They could not let the situation escalate, and they could not let the Bo Re God Emperor see any clues … … this was truly too difficult.
In the end, it was the First Palace Master who made the decision. He said with a dignified tone, "Third Palace Master, Fourth Palace Master, the two of you go find Bo Re and explain this matter to her face to face.
Then, you and her will give the order at the same time to order Qing Yue Hall and her fleet to stop fighting.
As for who is right and who is wrong, we will wait until the Temple investigates clearly before questioning them. "
The Palace Masters were all understanding people. They all knew that the responsibility lay with the soldiers of the Bo Re Fleet.
But the First Palace Master said this to smooth things over, to give the Bo Re God Emperor face and not be too strict.
Big matters could be reduced to small matters, and small matters could be resolved.
For that grand goal, the Kongming Temple could make appropriate concessions.
… …
The Prajna God Emperor was hesitating and weighing the pros and cons of whether or not he should seek out the Palace Masters.
At this moment, her divine sense detected two God Emperors flying out from their respective divine palaces towards her.
Since he was a God Emperor, there was no doubt that he was the Temple Master of the Kongming Temple.
The Prajna God Emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two Temple Masters.
In the end, it was the other party who couldn't keep their cool and came to negotiate a ceasefire.
This was good too. No matter who spoke first, they would be able to settle this matter as soon as possible.
Moments later, the two Palace Masters arrived at the gates of the Divine Palace. Naturally, the guards came to report to the Prajna God Emperor.
Prajna God Emperor didn't waste any time. He hurriedly brought Crimson Afterglow to the guest hall to meet with the two Hall Masters.
After the two sides met, it was inevitable for them to exchange greetings and introduce themselves.
This was the first time the Prajna God Emperor had met the Third and Fourth Hall Masters. The two Hall Masters were very reserved, not as enthusiastic as the Second Hall Master.
After the greetings were over, the two Hall Masters got straight to the point. "Prajna God Emperor, I presume you've already received the message from your soldiers and know what happened at Mount Seven Moons?"
"Because of a few misunderstandings, the soldiers of your fleet and the people of Qing Yue Hall got into a conflict and began fighting.
Neither side was able to restrain themselves, causing the conflict to escalate into a large-scale battle. "
The two Hall Masters spoke very bluntly, without the slightest hint of euphemism.
The Prajna God Emperor frowned and expressionlessly asked, "This Emperor already knows about this matter. Have the two Hall Masters come to find this Emperor to denounce me?"
Until she was clear about the attitudes and stances of the two Hall Masters, she naturally had to act tough and cold.
The two Hall Masters hurriedly waved their hands and shook their heads, explaining, "Prajna God Emperor, you've misunderstood. The exact cause and process of the matter have yet to be investigated, so it's impossible to say who's right and who's wrong. Naturally, there's no need for us to denounce you."
"We are stationed here, far too far from Mount Seven Moons. There's no point in trying to determine who's right and who's wrong.
We've come to ask for your opinion. "
The Prajna God Emperor's expression eased up a lot. She nodded slightly and said, "What do the two Hall Masters plan to do? There's no harm in speaking frankly. "
The Third Hall Master replied straightforwardly, "Give the order at the same time as we do, ordering Qing Yue Hall and your soldiers to cease fighting."
The Fourth Hall Master quickly followed up with an explanation, "Because of a few misunderstandings and conflicts, causing such a large-scale battle and casualties is far too unwise.
Moreover, you and the soldiers under your command are also part of the Temple of Emptiness.
To have such internal strife is truly distressing, and it's a great loss to the temple! "
The last bit of worry in the Prajna God Emperor's heart dissipated.
She nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, this Emperor also has the same thoughts. I was just about to find you and discuss this matter with you."
The two Hall Masters smiled and nodded in praise.
"The Prajna God Emperor is able to see the greater good and consider the bigger picture. This seat is deeply gratified."
"Since the matter has been discussed and you've agreed to cease fighting, we don't need to waste any more time. Let's send the order immediately."
Everyone knew that every second they wasted meant more soldiers and civilians would be killed on the battlefield at Mount Seven Moons.
There was no time to lose. Once the two sides reached an agreement, they immediately took out their communication jade slips and sent the order.
Whoosh!
The two Hall Masters took the lead in issuing the order. Their communication jade slips transformed into streams of light and quickly disappeared over the horizon.
A moment later, the communication jade slips would reach the Master of Qing Yue Hall.
At this moment, the Prajna God Emperor also sent out two communication jade slips, one to Marshal Zuo and one to Marshal Shi.
Whoosh!
The communication jade slips flew out of the divine palace and quickly disappeared.
The three looked at each other and smiled, their mood much better.
The two Hall Masters bowed to the Prajna God Emperor and said with a smile, "Since we've reached an agreement on this matter, we'll let both sides rest after the ceasefire.
Tomorrow, the Temple will hold a ceremony to welcome you to the Temple. Please make the necessary preparations. "
"After you join the Temple and work with us, we'll clean up the mess and investigate and deal with this matter."
The Prajna God Emperor nodded in agreement. "Very well. I'll have to trouble the Hall Masters."
After that, the two Hallmasters bowed and took their leave, leaving the divine palace.
The Prajna God Emperor had Crimson Dawn send the guests off. She left the reception hall and returned to her study, where she quietly pondered.
"The Third Hall Master and the Fourth Hall Master clearly know that the cause of this matter is the soldiers under this Emperor's command.
But they didn't denounce us. Instead, they took the attitude of making a big deal out of a small one.
They're giving this Emperor a way out, and they want to settle this matter …
It seems that the Kongming Temple is plotting something against this Emperor and my soldiers, and they're plotting something big! "
The Prajna God Emperor secretly pondered. Then, she thought of the Riddle of Eternal Life that the Second Hall Master had mentioned before, and a bold idea emerged in her mind.
"The only thing that can make the Kongming Temple go through so much trouble and even swallow their anger is probably the Riddle of Eternal Life.
Could it be that … this Emperor and my soldiers are the key to solving the Riddle of Eternal Life? "
