Coming down from the Lord's mansion, they felt that their clothes were soaked.
At their current level, they would no longer sweat like ordinary people, but in front of the Lord, they were trembling with fear, careful, and nervous.
Especially when His Lord had set a five-year deadline for them, they were sweating profusely and felt as if they were on the road to death.
Fortunately, after the persuasion of the First Elder and the Fifth Elder, the Lord finally agreed to their request.
However, when they thought of the Lord's last words to them, they were extremely worried.
After all, they had indeed convinced the Lord, but could the plan they had told the Lord really be realized?
It was hard to say.
But now that the Lord had said it, they had to complete it no matter what. Otherwise, they would really have no excuse to save their lives.
"Every time I face the Lord, I feel like I'm almost out of breath!" On the way down the mountain, the Third Elder sighed.
"Sigh, if we can't complete the task given by the Lord this time, the next time we come to this place may be the last time we come!" The Fifth Elder sighed.
Although the plan hadn't started yet, and it might be a few years later when that day came, he knew that if they couldn't find that person, the day would eventually come.
"Compared to the five years that the Lord gave us at the beginning, this is already a very good result!" The First Elder said.
"Having said that, if we can't handle this matter, it seems that we won't be able to live a few more years than the five years!" The Fifth Elder said.
"Actually, I think that after the two Elders' plans are combined, it is entirely possible for us to complete this task, so don't be too pessimistic," the Second Elder said sincerely.
To be honest, although he had some differences with the Fifth Elder on the issue of the Outer Dynasty and the Holy Dynasty, he was still very grateful to the Fifth Elder for meeting the Lord this time.
Although his plan didn't get the Lord's approval, it was precisely because the Fifth Elder boldly proposed this plan that they had a chance to ease the tension. The First Elder could also think of another plan at this time, which could be considered to make up for the flaws of the Fifth Elder's plan.
Therefore, no matter what, the Fifth Elder and the Great Elder had definitely saved everyone's lives this time.
"That's right. This time, it's all thanks to the Great Elder and the Fifth Elder. Otherwise, we would only have five years left. That would really be the end of us.
Moreover, I am very confident in the plan that the Great Elder mentioned later.
If we wait until the Outer Dynasties take over the world, they might join forces with the Sacred Dynasty to deal with the Inner Dynasty. But if we can use the foreign dynasties that are loyal to us to attack these foreign dynasties, I think their plan will naturally fail.
As long as they were unable to take over the world, the Sacred Dynasty would definitely lend them a helping hand. In that case, we will have a great chance of finding that person, and our mission will be considered complete.
After all, His Lord knew how strong that person was. If we were to rely on ourselves, it would be good if we could find him. It would be impossible for us to catch him.
Therefore, our mission is to find the person and leave the rest to the Lord to complete.
I think this is definitely a mission that can be completed. It's not a hopeless dead end! "The Fourth Elder also said very happily.
This was because compared to the five years that His Lord had given them, this was already a very good result.
Not only did His Lord not punish them because of this, but he also allowed them to use this opportunity to make up for their mistakes.
Although the price of not completing the mission might be a little high, he was still full of expectations for this time's mission. After all, this was not an impossible mission. Instead, he felt that the hope was quite high.
"Even so, you guys shouldn't be too blindly optimistic. The reason why I said that back then was because I had no choice. Otherwise, His Lord would definitely punish us.
Even if he didn't punish us, it would be impossible for us to find that person in five years.
As for the plan that I mentioned, to be honest, I think there are still many loopholes.
So if we really want this plan to succeed, we have to think about it carefully. "The Great Elder was very clear-headed.
This time's mission couldn't be said to be too pessimistic, but it also couldn't be blindly optimistic because there were still many unknown variables.
"Great Elder, what other loopholes do you think there are in this plan? I think it's quite good! "The Third Elder asked.
"You guys are thinking too simply. You have to know that the Fifth Elder said from the beginning that the most basic condition of this plan is that the Outer Dynasties are really colluding with the Holy Dynasty, or that they have reached some kind of agreement.
But what if there really is no relationship between them? Are you sure that we can use the Outer Dynasties that are loyal to us to force the Holy Dynasty to take the initiative to help those Outer Dynasties? "The Great Elder asked.
"This … If there really is no relationship between them, they naturally wouldn't come out to help those Outer Dynasties," the Third Elder said after a pause.
"That's why I said that this is the key. If there really is no relationship between them, how do you think we can force the Holy Dynasty out?" The Great Elder continued to ask.
"This … is indeed a problem!" Everyone's good mood was instantly extinguished by the Great Elder's words.
That's right. If there was no relationship between the Outer Dynasties and the Holy Dynasty at all, and all this was really just a coincidence, then wouldn't the promise they had made to His Lord be impossible to fulfill?
"Everyone, don't worry too much. I'm just laying out the problem for everyone to be prepared. Moreover, we can't be sure that these Outer Dynasties really have nothing to do with the Holy Dynasty.
However, we have to be able to foresee that if there is a connection between them, what strategy should we use to deal with it? If there is no connection between them, what strategy should we use to deal with it?
That's why we have to seriously consider this next!
As long as we understand all the contingency plans, no matter how we implement this plan, it will be foolproof, right? "The Great Elder saw that everyone was silent again, so he spoke up to reassure everyone.
"Great Elder is right. We really have to consider this problem carefully. There is not only one possibility. We should come up with more contingency plans.
No matter what happens, at least we won't be at a loss and unable to stop it. "The Third Elder nodded.
The other Elders also nodded. It was very necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
After all, this was related to their lives. No one wanted to lose their lives because of this mission.
Therefore, they had to think through all the possible scenarios. At that time, no matter what accident happened, they would be able to face it calmly and not panic.
"But I'm very curious. Is this pearl that His Lord gave us really useful? If we find the person but can't contact His Lord, then we're dead for sure! "The Third Elder took out the communication pearl that His Lord had given him and said curiously.
"Don't touch it. Quickly put it away. If you crush the pearl, then you're really dead!" The Great Elder reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Third Elder was shocked and quickly put it away. If he really broke it, he would probably be killed on the spot by the Lord.
"Since it's something that His Lord gave us, how can it be useless? We have to keep this thing well. It might save our lives at a critical moment! "The Fifth Elder said.
"Let's hurry down the mountain. I don't feel safe in Tianqiong Peak!" The Fourth Elder reminded.
Everyone nodded. They also felt that there was no sense of security here. It was as if they were being watched. They quickly went down the mountain.
Just after the five Elders left Tianqiong Peak, the person behind the curtain was wearing a mask. He got up and quietly left the Lord's residence. Then, he entered the back mountain alone.
After walking for a long time, a small thatched courtyard appeared in the forest.
"My Lord, I have news to report!" The masked man half-knelt in front of the small courtyard and said respectfully.
"Come in!" An old voice came from the small courtyard.
"Yes!" The masked man carefully walked into the main house.
There was a white-haired old man sitting inside. The old man looked kind, but one could still see a unique dignified aura between his brows.
"Speak!" The old man poured himself a cup of tea and sniffed it gently with an intoxicated expression.
"My Lord, the world has been a bit chaotic recently. It seems to have something to do with the Holy Dynasty!" The masked man stood at the side and said carefully.
"That person hasn't been found yet?" The old man slowly took a sip of fragrant tea and asked indifferently.
"This subordinate is incompetent. There is still no news of that person. My Lord, please give this subordinate some time. The several Managing Elders have already promised to use this opportunity to find that person as soon as possible, "the masked man explained.
"This is something that I had already expected. Since he dared to barge into my place, it means that he was prepared. If he didn't show himself, no one would have been able to find him! "The old man gently blew on the tea in his cup and shook his head.
When he thought of that person back then, he felt very helpless.
He was so close to getting rid of the remnants of the Holy City, but he didn't expect that person to escape in the end.
Now that he had escaped, it wouldn't be easy to find him again.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised by this result. He also didn't intend to blame his subordinates for not doing a good job.
He had fought with that person before, so he knew how strong that person was.
It wasn't easy to find such a person!
"Go back. Come and see me when you find him!" The old man said indifferently.
