The few elders knew that there was no way to hide this matter from the Lord, so they went up Sky Qiong Peak worriedly.
Ever since Cheng Yu broke into Sky Qiong Peak, the security of Sky Qiong Peak became even tighter.
Whether it was the people who went up the mountain or the guards themselves, they were all very strict.
However, for the few elders, it was very easy for them to go up Sky Qiong Peak. However, other than them, it would be very difficult for them to even bring a few people up the mountain.
I really don't know how that guy sneaked up the mountain and even went to the back of the mountain. Feeling the tight and oppressive feeling of Sky Qiong Peak, the Fourth Elder sighed deeply.
That guy is very powerful. There will always be some way we don't know to go up the mountain without anyone noticing.
Even the Lord didn't find him, let alone us The Second Elder said.
When we see the Lord in a while, we must push the blame for the chaos in the world onto this person. Otherwise, we might all be punished by the Lord The Third Elder reminded everyone worriedly.
The Lord is not stupid. If we blindly push all the blame onto that person, it will make the Lord dissatisfied with us.
We should understand that we don't have any evidence to prove that it was that guy who caused the chaos in the world.
But it is undeniable that we have indeed failed in our duty and failed to take good care of the world.
Therefore, we must admit our dereliction of duty, but we must also appropriately shift the blame to that person. This way, it is possible that the Lord will not blame the main responsibility on us! "The Fifth Elder said.
Yes, the Fifth Elder is right. In front of the Lord, we must not blindly shirk our responsibilities. That will only make the Lord even more dissatisfied with us The Great Elder nodded and said.
In the entire inner court, they were dignified elders. Who wouldn't tremble in fear when they saw them?
But on the other hand, in front of the Lord, they had the same feeling.
This was because they knew very well that as long as the Lord was willing, they could be killed in an instant.
Therefore, he also felt that in front of the Lord, he could be a little careful, but he couldn't be too petty. Otherwise, things might go in the opposite direction.
In front of the Lord, everyone must have the same attitude, otherwise we will all suffer The Second Elder said.
In fact, in the entire inner court, the person they were most unwilling to face was their Lord.
Because every time they faced the Lord, they were especially nervous, as if they were facing the Grim Reaper.
The slightest carelessness could cause them to fall into the abyss and walk with the Grim Reaper.
When they arrived at the master's residence, they were led inside by a maidservant.
At this moment, they were no longer the dignified Principal Elders in the eyes of others. They were simply like a few children who had done something wrong and had to face their parents. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
In a spacious hall, there was a curtain in front of him.
Although it was just a curtain, none of them dared to lift their heads.
"Greetings, Master!" The five of them respectfully prostrated themselves on the ground.
"What is it?" An emotionless voice rang out, causing the elders' hearts to tremble.
"We are here to apologize to the Lord!" the Great Elder said.
"What crimes have you committed?"
"Due to our poor management, the other dynasties have become disloyal. Many of the other dynasties have gone on expeditions and annexed other dynasties. Now, the world is in chaos. Please punish us, Master!" the Great Elder said in shame.
"I gave you the world because I trusted you. But now that the world is in chaos, you have indeed betrayed my trust in you. "
As soon as the Lord's words came out, the hearts of the Principal Elders tightened.
Did the Lord really intend to punish them?
The Elders couldn't help but worry.
"How do you think I should punish you?" Just as they were worrying, the Lord spoke again.
"This …" The Elders were even more stunned. They didn't expect the Lord to really want to punish them.
Originally, they had planned to push that person up, but in this situation, it didn't seem appropriate for them to take the initiative to mention it. For a moment, they didn't know how to answer.
"Lord, we indeed can't escape the blame for the loss of power in the world. But the main reason why the world has become like this is because of the mastermind of the Sacred Dynasty, the person who broke into Tianqiong Peak back then! "the Fifth Elder said boldly.
"Have you found that person?" the Lord asked.
"Not yet, but this matter was all orchestrated by him behind the scenes. As a result, the world is in chaos, and the other dynasties are out of our control," the Fifth Elder said.
"Do you have any evidence?" the Lord continued to ask.
"This … We haven't found it yet! But we believe that this matter definitely has something to do with the Sacred Dynasty! "The Fifth Elder suddenly sweated profusely.
"How dare you!" the Lord suddenly shouted.
"My Lord, please calm down! My Lord, please calm down! "The Elders trembled in fear and directly prostrated on the ground, not daring to move.
At this moment, everyone was very nervous, not knowing why the Lord was angry.
"Do you think that using the Sacred Dynasty's pretense can cover up your incompetence and crimes?" the Lord said in a very dignified voice.
"We wouldn't dare!"
"After so many years, you still haven't found the whereabouts of that person and the Sacred Dynasty. Now that the world is in chaos, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you? "The Lord's voice was very cold.
The Elders were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat, because they could already feel the murderous intent in the Lord's voice.
"My Lord, please have mercy!" the Elders shouted anxiously.
As expected, it was useless to try to play tricks in front of the Lord.
Their original plan had no effect, and the Lord would not believe them at all.
After all, they really did not have any news about the Sacred Dynasty, and there was no evidence to prove that the Sacred Dynasty was the source of the chaos.
They just wanted to use this to divert the Lord's attention, and at the same time, reduce their own guilt.
But in the end, they still failed.
Now, they did not know if the Lord really wanted to kill them, and they were indeed very afraid.
To others, the status of the Elders in charge was very high, but in front of the Lord, the Elders in charge were nothing.
This was just an identity that the Lord gave them. If they could not satisfy the Lord, the Lord could change them at any time.
"I'll give you another five years to find that person. Otherwise, your heads will stay here! "The Lord gave them an ultimatum.
"Yes! Within five years, the Lord will definitely find that person, but … "Everyone's faces were pale.
Five years was not a long time, because the world was too big. Even if they just ran a little, it would take more than half a year.
However, five years was not a short period of time. After all, it was enough to travel across the entire Cultivation World.
But to find that person, it was not possible to cross the entire Cultivation World.
If a person wanted to hide in such a big world, how could he be found so easily?
Moreover, that person was so strong, even if they found him, there was no way they could bring him back, right?
"But what?" The Lord asked.
"My Lord also knows that the person's strength is only below yours. Even if we find him, there is no way we can bring him back.
That's why … "the Great Elder said awkwardly.
"There are a few Origin Communication Beads here. As long as you find that person and inject your spiritual power into this bead, I will know where you are.
So you just need to help me find that person, then send me a message, and I will find you! "After the Lord finished speaking, five aqua blue beads flew out from behind the curtain.
The five people each caught a bead. They did not know that this bead had such a magical effect.
However, they believed that the Lord would not deceive them. It was just that once they received this bead, they would have to personally find that person's whereabouts in the next five years.
Moreover, they could not completely hand over their lives to their subordinates, they had to go out and find that person themselves.
"Yes!" Everyone agreed, but their hearts were full of bitterness.
"My Lord, now those Outer Dynasties that betrayed our Inner Dynasty are going on expeditions everywhere, annexing other Outer Dynasties, causing chaos in the world.
If we go out and find that person, who will deal with these Outer Dynasties? "The Fifth Elder mustered up his courage and asked.
Actually, he did not want to go out and find that person. After all, their plan was to let these Outer Dynasties and Sacred Dynasty have conflicts, so that they could easily reap the benefits.
However, now that the Lord wanted them to find that person, they could only search all over the world for that person.
"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the Outer Dynasties. You just need to help me find that person!" The Lord said.
"My Lord, actually I have an idea. Perhaps we don't need to go through so much trouble. We can even easily capture the entire Sacred Dynasty!" The Fifth Elder still had some stubbornness left.
Since it was already like this, if they couldn't find him within five years, they would only be left with a dead end.
However, in his opinion, there was a high probability that they would not be able to find that person in five years.
Therefore, it was better to say what they wanted to say. If the Lord agreed, at least they would not have to go out and find that person, and they could even live a few more years.
Who knew what would happen in a few years?
Perhaps their plan really worked. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
"Tell me about it!"
"My Lord, it's like this. Although we do not have concrete evidence to prove that the civil strife in the Outer Dynasties has anything to do with the Sacred Dynasty, according to the information we have before the chaos, they should indeed be in contact with the Sacred Dynasty.
In fact, these foreign dynasties have already joined forces with the Sacred Dynasty. So, if we can make use of their relationship, we can actually uncover the Sacred Dynasty effortlessly! "said the Fifth Elder.
