Chi Yao sent Daoist Priest Daoyi away and his incarnation returned to his original body. However, at this moment, he was not as relaxed as he was Just Now. Instead, his expression was solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lan Su said, "What is Demon Master Chi Yao thinking about? Is there something wrong? "
Heng Jing also looked over in bewilderment.
Chi Yao slowly said, "The two of you should know that I tried my best to stall for time because I sensed danger ahead. But recently, this danger has been gradually fading away. What replaced it was the fact that if I missed this opportunity, I would have missed out on a great opportunity. However, from what I can see, there hasn't been much change in the human path during these years. There might be other reasons for this, so I still have some misgivings. “
Heng Jing said disapprovingly, "Then we'll just reject him half a year later. Without us around, Heartless Path and those Innate Demons won't be able to suppress the Human Path."
Chi Yao waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple. I can feel that Taiyi is already impatient. If I refuse again, he won't immediately fall out with me, but he will definitely bear a grudge against us."
Although the Taiyi Golden Bead could not suppress the Human Dao, it did not mean that it could not deal with them. After all, it truly had the power to suppress them. If they really fell out, it was hard to say what it would do.
Lan Su said, "Since Demon Master Chi Yao can't make a decision on this matter, why don't you ask Demon Master Chi Zhou?"
Chi Yao pondered for a moment, then said, "That's the only way."
Initially, he did not intend to do this, but now that the problem was with his senses, it involved his cultivation. It was obvious that it was more appropriate to ask Demon Lord Chizhou, who had the highest cultivation among them.
He immediately set off for the barrier between the two realms, but this time, he went alone. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the boundary. He bowed and said, "Demon Lord Chizhou greets you."
Zhang Yan's avatar of strength that had been immersed in cultivation suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and stared down at Chi Yao, "Did Demon Lord Chi Yao encounter some difficulties again?"
Chi Yao said, "I have a matter that I am unable to grasp, so I wish to consult Demon Lord Chizhou."
Zhang Yan said, "Demon Master Chi Yao, please speak."
Chi Yao told him about Daoist Priest Daoyi's plan. He also mentioned his own concerns and said, "It's hard to know the reason for the changes in my senses. I don't know if my choice is appropriate. That's why I came to ask Demon Lord Chi Zhou."
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered.
He had guessed that the Taiyi Golden Bead would not give up after retreating, and would most likely use the threat of humanity as an excuse to incite the three forces to join forces. Now that he had heard from Chi Yao, his guess was confirmed.
In fact, it would be for the best if the three sects were willing to come to him. As long as he fought with the Taiyi Golden Bead again, he might be able to peek into the depths of Bu Xu Tian.
He didn't tell Chi Yao what to do. Instead, he said, "If we disregard that feeling, does Demon Master Chi Yao believe that it is appropriate for all of us to join forces?"
Chi Yao pondered and said, "Looking at the current situation, it is the right choice. The Taiyi Golden Bead has failed to fight against that Daoist Priest Zhang. If the three sects do not respond, humanity may choose to attack one of us. Instead of waiting until then to join forces, it is better to fight for our own benefits first."
Zhang Yan said meaningfully, "Now that the mysteries of heaven are in chaos, Demon Master Chi Yao's feeling may not be true. Instead of believing in vague signs, it is better to believe in your own judgment."
Chi Yao nodded slowly. Then, he said in a half-probing and half-sighing tone, "Unfortunately, if Demon Master Chizhou could help, the situation would be very different. I would also have more confidence, and I would not even have to worry about the Taiyi Golden Bead."
However, after he said this, there was no response for a long time. He knew that it was impossible for him to come forward. He sighed in his heart, bowed, and left the place.
Zhang Yan watched him leave, but fell into deep thought.
The changes in Chi Yao's senses made him think of the matter of Heartless Taoists gaining Cheng Changzi's memories for no reason.
Although the difference between the two was huge, one's memories were changed, the other's external senses were messed up. However, it was not a normal situation, because the person himself did not realize that he was actually affected by an external force.
He thought that it was highly possible that the person behind the scenes had used Busutian's Weili to sway his judgment.
Previously, he had a question. If the person behind the scenes could tamper with the memories of Heartless Taoists, why did he not use the same method to influence the other almighties?
Later, he guessed that the reason why he did not do so might be due to some kind of restriction.
Thinking of this, he had a vague understanding.
He learned from Chi Yao that the chaos he sensed had occurred in the past few months. At the beginning, it was precisely when the traitorous disciple had been suppressed. Even now, the location of the demon that might have escaped was still unknown.
After that, no matter if it was on the side of the Connate Demons or on the side of Human Dao, there was no news of any abnormalities. At that time, he thought that the demon might have gone to Chi Yao's faction to stir up trouble.
Thus, this line was connected. The person behind the scenes should have used some kind of karmic connection to influence the almighties in the Present World. If the arrangement was interrupted or wrong, then they would not be able to achieve their goal.
He did not know if the Connate Demons were affected, but at least there were no problems on the side of Human Dao. This meant that their hands had not reached here.
And Heartless Taoists had been manipulated from the start. Perhaps they had interacted with the person behind the scenes in the First Epoch, which led to this result.
He smiled. He did not expect that this person did not choose to continue fighting him on the Kun Shi Continent, but instead used this method. Perhaps he realized that he could not gain an advantage here. Thus, he went around in a circle and directly used the conflict between the Connate Demons and the various factions against Human Dao to use external force to attack. At least, he had to have some understanding of the situation in the Present World.
From this, it could be seen that the person behind the scenes was not as inflexible as previously thought.
But earlier on, his actions were clearly rigid, and he would only act according to a certain set of rules.
Perhaps as he used Bu Xutian's Weili more often, he gradually changed.
Of course, there was another possibility. His intelligence was originally imprisoned, but due to the chaos in the heavenly secrets, he awakened and consciously intensified the changes here.
Fortunately, this person should still have a flaw. If he really understood everything inside and outside, then he should know that his confrontation with the Taiyi Golden Pearl would allow him to further understand Bu Xutian's true mysteries.
He raised his head and looked beyond Bu Xutian. No matter what, he had to first deal with the alliance of the three factions. After dealing with them, he would come back to deal with the matters here.
Half a year passed in a flash. Daoist Priest Daoyi once again arrived outside the Soul World at the appointed time. This time, Heartless Taoists and the Connate Demons also came together.
Daoist Priest Daoyi asked in a deep voice, "Half a year has passed. Have you all made up your minds?"
As soon as he said this, there was a flash of light, and a world unfolded in front of them. After a short while, Chi Yao appeared in front of everyone. He cupped his hands and said, "The three of us have just succeeded in our cultivation of the Dao. We are willing to go with you."
Hearing this, Daoist Priest Daoyi laughed and repeatedly agreed. He looked around and said, "Since the three Taoists are all here, why don't we take this opportunity to discuss the rules? What does Fellow Daoist Chi Yao think?"
Chi Yao knew that it was impossible to deal with the people of the Dao all at once. Instead, they had to come up with a detailed plan, so he nodded and said, "As you wish."
Daoist Priest Daoyi was quite satisfied when he saw that Chi Yao's attitude was no longer as unyielding as the previous two times. He nodded at Bai Wei. The latter waved his sleeve, and layers of restrictions rose from the world, isolating the inside from the outside.
Daoist Priest Daoyi raised his voice and said, "This time, the purpose of our three sects joining forces is to ask the people of the Dao to allow us to enter the Cloth Beard and practice the Dao together. I have already discussed with Fellow Daoists Deng and Yin several times before. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chi Yao has any good ideas?"
Chi Yao thought for a moment and said, "We are going to intimidate them with our strength and fight for benefits. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no need to fight."
At this time, Lu Li said, "Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. If we go with this idea, the people of the Dao will never back down!"
However, Heng Jing shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, what you said is too much. Even if the people of the Dao have people like Daoist Zhang, their chances of winning are not high. As long as we don't force them too much, I believe they will judge the situation and make the right choice."
At this time, Chi Yao looked at Daoist Priest Daoyi and said, "Fellow Daoist, you said that we are going to strengthen our strength. If we feel that something is wrong, we can withdraw at any time. I wonder if you will keep your promise?"
Daoist Priest Daoyi said without hesitation, "Of course!"
Chi Yao cupped his hands.
His meaning was very clear. If they insisted on fighting, then they could only choose to withdraw.
Lu Li said in a deep voice, "I would like to ask Demon Lord Chi Yao. It would be best if the people of the Dao are willing to give in, but there is always a chance. If they insist on not retreating, what should we do?"
Chi Yao did not say anything. At that time, it was impossible for him to really leave with his people. After all, with the three sects here, their chances of winning were higher. However, don't expect him to do much.
Daoist Priest Daoyi said loudly, "That is also very easy. Although Daoist Zhang can withstand one collision, he may not be able to withstand two, three, or even four collisions. At that time, we will have to rely on everyone's strength."
At this time, Bai Wei, Lu Li, Deng Zhang, and Yin Ping all cupped their hands and said, "Of course."
Seeing this, Chi Yao did not show it on the surface, but he sighed in his heart. This was the situation he was most unwilling to see.
Daoist Priest Daoyi was clearly saying that if they could not come to an agreement this time, not only would he lend the Weili to the Innate Demons, he would also lend it to the Heartless Taoists.
He had thought that the Innate Demons would do their best to oppose such a matter for their own benefit, but in the end, it was still like this. It seemed that Daoist Priest Daoyi was desperate and no longer cared about the others.
If that was really the case, no matter how powerful Daoist Zhang was, he would not be able to resist. Once he was eliminated, the remaining people of the people of the Dao would have to hide in the Kun Shi Continent if they did not die.
If they stood on the side, they would not be involved in the danger, but it was likely that they would not get any benefits. They might even be suppressed by the two sects instead.
After a moment, he thought about it several times and weighed the pros and cons. In the end, he made a decision. He said, "If everyone agrees, we can also help."
Daoist Priest Daoyi showed a satisfied expression and said, "Good. Since everyone is willing, then there is no need to wait any longer. Later, we will go to Bu Xu together and force the people of the Dao to give in!"
