"Whether we will go all out or not depends on whether Shushan dares to go all out. Is the Cheng Family really just trying to see how much we have hidden all these years? "Daoist Cang Song looked at Daoist Xuan Zhen and laughed.
Perhaps this was just a joke, but no one knew what the Cheng Family's real motive was.
Therefore, it was hard to say for sure, and they had to be careful.
If the Cheng Family really wanted to trick them, and they were stupid enough to put all the outstanding disciples they had hidden all these years into the Grand Competition, what if the Cheng Family wanted to find trouble with them?
Even if their relationship with the Cheng Family was better than the other sects, they were after all not the Cheng Family, and did not know what the Cheng Family wanted to do.
Moreover, the Cheng Family would not tell the Tianshan Sect and Cangling Sect what they wanted to do, so it was better to be careful.
"Since that is the case, let us see the results in the Grand Competition! I will take my leave first! "Daoist Xuan Zhen stood up and said.
Seeing that Daoist Xuan Zhen had left, the other sect leaders followed suit.
In the entire hall, only Yu Lingzi and Daoist Cang Song were left.
"What do you think are the chances of the dynasty going against the Cheng Family?" Yu Lingzi asked softly.
Now that there were only the two of them, their conversation became more casual. After all, the two sects had been on good terms for generations, and they had been good friends for many years. Naturally, there were not many taboos between them.
"This matter is hard to say. I heard that a few days ago, an extremely sensational event happened in Yun Gui City. I wonder if you have heard about it?" Daoist Cang Song said.
"Are you talking about the event in Yun Gui City?" Yu Lingzi asked.
Regarding this matter, he did know a little. However, he did not go down the mountain often, so he basically only heard about the outside events from his disciples.
Therefore, he had heard about many things that happened in the various cities of the Cheng Family. However, he only had a general understanding of it, and was not too clear about the specific details.
"Seems like you have heard about it, but I wonder if you know the background of those troublemakers?" Daoist Cang Song asked.
"Could it be that Brother Cang Song knows the background of those people?" Yu Lingzi asked doubtfully.
"That's not it. It's just that a disciple of our Cang Song Sect was present that day, so he told me about what happened.
According to what those disciples said, these people shouldn't be Loose Cultivators, they should have some power behind them. "Taoist Cang Song briefly told Yu Lingzi what those people said.
"This doesn't seem to prove anything right?" Yu Lingzi said after listening to Taoist Cang Song's narration.
"If that's all, then it's nothing. However, there's something very strange that you might not know.
After they apologized to the people of Cloudy Noble City, they left the city. However, a few days later, the people of the Cloudy Noble City Lord's mansion secretly captured these people and brought them back. "Taoist Master Vasp Caelo said.
"Since it was secretly captured, how did Dao Brother know about it?" Yu Lingzi asked curiously.
"This was also discovered by my disciples. As for how they discovered it, they told me it was just a coincidence. As for whether it was a coincidence or not, only they themselves know.
However, they saw those people being captured and brought to the Cloudy Noble City Lord's mansion with their own eyes. "Taoist Cang Song explained.
"Then according to what you're saying, these people are from the dynasty?" Yu Lingzi did not dwell on how Cangling Sect's disciples found out about this matter.
With his many years of friendship with Taoist Cang Song, if it was convenient, he would naturally say it. If it was not convenient, it was normal for him not to say it. There was no need to get to the bottom of it.
"This is hard to say. However, since the Cheng Clan secretly captured them, they obviously felt that these people were not ordinary people.
Otherwise, the Cheng Clan could have captured them openly in the city. Why would they need to be so sneaky and carefully bring them back to the mansion during the night? "Taoist Cang Song said.
"What you said makes sense. If that's the case, then the identity of these people is really suspicious. However, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid only the dynasty and some ancient hidden forces would dare to find trouble with the Cheng Clan. "Yu Lingzi pondered for a while and said.
"That's right. It's just that those ancient hidden forces will not show themselves in the world. Even if we want to find them, we might not be able to.
Although the dynasty is also very mysterious, it has never been hidden from the world. Instead, it has always been secretly controlling the world.
More importantly, when the Mysterious Sky Sect set off a reign of terror, the dynasty also participated in it. This is enough to show that the dynasty's ambition to control the world has never disappeared.
Therefore, the possibility of those people coming from the dynasty is relatively high. "Taoist Cang Song analyzed.
"That's true. Especially when Cheng Yu defeated the experts of the dynasty. Cheng Yu can be considered to have a grudge with the dynasty. Therefore, it's reasonable for the dynasty to want to deal with the Cheng Clan.
It's just that I still don't understand. If it's because of the Mysterious Sky Sect, the dynasty wanted to deal with the Cheng Clan. At that time, after the Mysterious Sky Sect was defeated, why would they wait until now?
As for what you said, the dynasty didn't intend to deal with the Cheng Clan before. But after seeing the rapid development of the Cheng Clan, they were afraid of the Cheng Clan. I always feel that this matter is a bit too far-fetched! "Yu Lingzi said with a frown.
"Why do you say that?" Taoist Cang Song asked.
"From our level, the Cheng Clan's development in the past few years is indeed very fast. Their current strength is also much stronger than the Cheng Clan in the past.
However, I feel that no matter how fast the Cheng Clan grows, they will definitely not be able to shake and threaten the level of the dynasty controlling the world.
Moreover, if the dynasty really wants to destroy the Cheng Clan, presumably with the dynasty's huge strength, it shouldn't be a difficult task, right?
Why is the dynasty so cautious and only sent so few people to the Cheng Clan? Obviously, they don't want to send these people to destroy the Cheng Clan. At the very least, this little bit of strength is far from enough. "Yu Lingzi was puzzled.
"Perhaps the people they sent are just pawns, specifically to probe the strength of the Cheng Clan.
Although the dynasty is very strong, we have never dealt with the dynasty face to face. Moreover, no one knows how strong the dynasty is.
Since they used the power of the Mysterious Sky Sect to annex so many sects, I think the dynasty may not be as strong as we think.
It's just that because the dynasty is too mysterious and we don't know enough about the dynasty, we always feel that the dynasty's strength is unimaginable.
Moreover, Cheng Yu had defeated so many experts of the dynasty in the past. It can be seen that the dynasty is not impossible to defeat.
In the face of the Cheng Clan and Cheng Yu's situation, it seems that there is no problem for the dynasty to be cautious.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, then you can fight a hundred battles. "Taoist Cang Song said.
There is definitely more than one mysterious dynasty in this world. However, compared to other ancient hidden forces, the dynasty belongs to the group that has always been active in their circle.
As for those ancient hidden forces, they only exist in legends. To be honest, they know that the dynasty really exists, but whether those ancient hidden forces really exist or not, they are not sure.
At least, they have never seen people from the ancient powers.
"If that's the case, it does make some sense. Moreover, I heard that the dynasty is divided into the outer and inner dynasties. Moreover, compared to the inner dynasty, there are many outer dynasties.
It is precisely because of this that the dynasty can control such a big place.
Therefore, I think that even if the dynasty is strong, it will be quite scattered. If they really want to eliminate the Cheng Clan, they would need to gather all the outer dynasties. This is obviously not possible.
Thinking about it this way, the Cheng Clan would be so cautious. Furthermore, they have not made a move on the Cheng Clan for so many years. It is also reasonable! "Yu Lingzi thought carefully before speaking.
"If the dynasty's strength is really not as strong as we imagined, it is definitely a good thing!" Taoist Cang Song said.
"You are trying to say that when the sandpiper and clam fight, the fisherman benefits?" Yu Lingzi said.
"Yu Lingzi, I know that Tian Xue and Cheng Clan have a good relationship. All these years, Cheng Clan has also taken care of us.
However, we are currently living under someone else's charity. Don't you wish for Tianshan Sect to return back to the cultivation world and regain freedom? "Taoist Cang Song told Yu Lingzi the truth.
If it wasn't for the fact that the two of them had been friends for many years and knew each other very well, he would never say such words to Yu Lingzi.
"If Tianshan Sect can regain its freedom, that is naturally my wish. It's just that back then, if it wasn't because of Cheng Clan saving us and giving us this piece of land to develop, we wouldn't even have the qualifications to live under someone else's charity.
Furthermore, we had made a contract with Cheng Clan. If there is really an external enemy, everyone should advance and retreat together. Could it be that you wish to violate the contract? "Yu Lingzi said.
"Back then, Cheng Yu had indeed saved us and gave us this place to live. However, all these years, we had also provided a lot of talents to the Cheng Clan.
Furthermore, for the Cheng Clan, we had missed a lot of opportunities to grow stronger. Otherwise, how could we only have this little bit of strength now?
If the dynasty really wants to make a move on the Cheng Clan, I can't say that I will help the Cheng Clan defend against the enemy, but at least I will not stab them in the back.
To put it bluntly, even if the dynasty's strength isn't as strong as we had imagined, they are definitely not any weaker than the Cheng Clan.
If we were to intervene in the conflict between the two superpowers, I'm afraid we will not be able to extricate ourselves. "Taoist Cang Song said.
"No matter what, everything is still just a hypothesis. If the dynasty were to really attack us, we will make other plans!" Yu Lingzi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Indeed. Whether these things will happen or not is still uncertain. Naturally, we need to think about it further. Then I shall take my leave first!" Taoist Cang Song nodded. He didn't expect Yu Lingzi to give him a conclusion today.
