The elders did not even dare to breathe loudly, but the fifth elder's words were what they wanted to say the most.
Everyone knelt on the ground with their heads lowered, holding their breaths. Their hearts were filled with anticipation, hoping that their Lord would listen to the fifth elder's suggestion. That way, all of them would be saved.
Even if the fifth elder's suggestion did not work in the end, it could at least buy them a few years or even a decade or two.
After such a long time, who knew what would happen?
Moreover, during this period, they could send people to search for that person. Perhaps they could find that person in such a long time.
Even if they could not find that person after so many years, they would be willing to spend another five years looking for him.
On the other hand, if the fifth elder's suggestion really worked, they could even get rid of the scourge that was the Sacred Dynasty once and for all. Then, they would not have to wait for death and would have made a great contribution instead.
However, if they did not use this method to buy time, they would really only have five years left.
Based on their experience with the Sacred Dynasty for so many years, it was basically impossible for them to find that person within five years.
This meant that five years from now, it would be the time of their deaths, and there would be no other outcome.
Therefore, no matter what, they still hoped that their Lord could listen to the fifth elder's suggestion so that they would have more chances of survival.
"Continue!" The Lord said after a moment of silence.
Whoosh!
Although it was only these five words, it was undoubtedly a heavenly sound to these elders.
This was enough to prove that their Lord was interested in the fifth elder's suggestion. Otherwise, there would be no need for the fifth elder to continue.
All of a sudden, infinite hope rose in everyone's hearts. Since their Lord was interested, they believed that the plan that they came up with would definitely satisfy their Lord.
"My Lord, based on the current situation, we think that even if those other dynasties that are currently annexing other dynasties are not colluding with the Sacred Dynasty, they definitely have some relationship with the Sacred Dynasty.
This is because before the world was in chaos this time, the Sacred Dynasty had sent a large number of troops to occupy 50 to 60 other dynasties.
However, after those dynasties annexed other dynasties, there was no more news about the Sacred Dynasty.
I think that the Sacred Dynasty must have reached some kind of agreement with some of the other dynasties, which is why they are so unscrupulous in their conquest.
However, I believe that the Sacred Dynasty will not allow these foreign dynasties to fight for territory in the cultivation world.
All these years, we can clearly see that the Sacred Dynasty's target is the inner court. However, it's definitely not limited to our inner court, but the entire world.
Although we know this, the Sacred Dynasty has been very secretive all these years, and we haven't been able to find any clues.
Therefore, if we want to find that person and destroy the Sacred Dynasty, we'd better let them show themselves.
But what could make them come out on their own? That is profit. "The Fifth Elder said.
His Lord did not speak. Separated by a curtain, they did not know what His Lord's attitude was.
However, although the Lord didn't say anything, at least he didn't object, so the Fifth Elder wasn't so worried.
The Fifth Elder continued, "As long as the Sacred Dynasty needs benefits, will the Sacred Dynasty remain indifferent if all the territories in the world fall into the hands of those foreign dynasties?
Absolutely not!
At that time, the Sacred Dynasty will definitely find a way to snatch the world back from those foreign dynasties. At the end of the day, those foreign dynasties are just tools used by the Sacred Dynasty to take over the world.
If His Lord wants us to search for that person all over the world now, but because they are carrying out their grand plan to take over the world.
I estimate that even if we turn the world upside down, we may not be able to find him.
Therefore, I believe that if we want to destroy them, we must first make them go crazy.
Since they want to take over the world, we will let them take over the world. Let these foreign dynasties fight and annex everywhere first. When the time comes, the Sacred Dynasty will definitely take the initiative to show up for the sake of the world.
When that time comes, these two parties will even fight for the world. If we can make them both suffer, then not only can we easily get rid of these foreign traitors, we can even wipe out the Sacred Dynasty in one fell swoop!
In the end, the world will still belong to the Sacred Dynasty! "The Fifth Elder stopped and quietly waited for his Lord's reaction.
"Are you done?" After a moment of silence, the Lord's voice came.
"I'm done!" The Fifth Elder nodded nervously.
Could it be that this plan did not satisfy his Lord?
"How confident do you think this plan will work?" the Lord asked calmly.
"This … If those foreign dynasties are really related to the Sacred Dynasty, I think there is at least a 70% chance of success." The Fifth Elder's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he replied after thinking for a while.
"Then what if they are not related?"
"This …" The Fifth Elder was even more speechless.
"Since you can think of the principle of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, how do you know that they don't understand this principle?
Even if they are related, what if they have already reached an agreement and they first join forces to destroy the Sacred Dynasty before talking about benefits? "the Lord continued to ask.
"This … this …" The Fifth Elder was covered in sweat for a while, completely unable to answer his Lord's question.
"My Lord, the Fifth Elder's plan may not be perfect, but I feel that at least it gives us a direction.
We can also take the opportunity to investigate if there is any relationship between the Sacred Dynasty and these foreign dynasties.
Also, although there are some traitors among these foreign dynasties, at least all the foreign dynasties in the world are traitors.
We can also use these foreign dynasties that are loyal to our Sacred Dynasty to stop those traitors.
If we let these foreign dynasties take over the world, then they might join forces with the Sacred Dynasty to deal with our Sacred Dynasty.
However, if we can use the foreign dynasties that are loyal to us to stop them from taking over the world, then perhaps the Sacred Dynasty will also take the initiative to appear.
After all, if they do not show up, they will not be able to take over the world together.
Our goal is actually very simple, which is to find the Sacred Dynasty. As long as the Sacred Dynasty shows up, we have a way to destroy the Sacred Dynasty or even uproot it.
There is nothing to fear from the foreign dynasties. As long as the Sacred Dynasty is gone, no matter what the foreign dynasties do, they will not be able to overturn the world.
So, My Lord, please think about it. Compared to searching for that person in the world like we are looking for a needle in a haystack, I think this method is more reliable.
Also, if we leave the Inner Dynasty, then the safety of the Inner Dynasty will be a problem.
What if that person takes advantage of our absence and runs back to the inner court? Or if those outsiders take advantage of the situation and attack the inner court while we're not around, won't we have to trouble you to deal with all these trivial matters? " Seeing that the Fifth Elder could not convince the Great Elder, the Great Elder thought for a while and changed the plan. It should be more reasonable.
The hall fell silent once more.
The few elders listened to their own breathing quietly and knelt on the ground, not daring to move at all. They only hoped that their Lord would accept the Great Elder's idea.
"Get up!" The Great Elder finally spoke.
The few of them did not know what the Great Elder meant. Did he agree to their request or not?
However, since the Great Elder had spoken, they did not dare to disobey. The few of them looked at each other and slowly stood up.
"Although your plan is not very smart, as you said, the Sacred Dynasty is really cunning. They have been hiding very well all these years. Even if you really go out to look for that person, I don't think you will find anything.
Since that is the case, I will listen to you and act according to your plan. I don't care if the world is too peaceful. I just want to know the whereabouts of that person.
No matter what method you use, I hope you can find that person as soon as possible. "The Great Elder said.
"Thank you, My Lord!" Hearing this, the few elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Great Elder's compromise this time was equivalent to letting them live. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to escape death five years later.
What a joke. The world was so big. How was it possible for them to find such a powerful person?
Didn't that make it clear that the Lord wanted their lives?
And even if they really found that person, they might be beaten to death before the Great Elder could come to rescue them.
"But don't be too happy too early. It is because of your negligence that these foreign dynasties betrayed us.
So, you can't escape the crime of negligence, but I will not punish you now.
So, I will give you such a chance now. If you complete the mission, then the merits will offset the demerits, and I will not pursue the crime of negligence anymore.
But if you still can't complete the mission this time, then you should know what will happen! "The Great Elder continued.
"Yes! Please rest assured, My Lord. This time, we will not let you down. We will definitely complete the Great Elder's mission.
The mission given to us by our superior is to find that person! "The expressions of the few Elders immediately changed.
Sure enough, the Great Elder did not think of letting them go so easily.
Now that the Great Elder had said this, it meant that they had no way out.
If they really completed the mission, then they would be saved. But if this plan failed again, then they really wouldn't be able to find any more excuses to save their lives.
"I hope the next time you come, it will be good news. You may leave!" The Great Elder said faintly.
