Zhang Yan left Mount Li Wang. With a change of heart, he arrived at an indescribable place. There was a Cloud Platform Golden Residence here, and it was the place where Quan Dao decided to discuss Dao this time.
The reason why they didn't meet in Quan Dao's mountain gate was probably because they didn't want De Dao to find out that they were related to each other. However, this matter couldn't be hidden for long.
Therefore, he thought that the deeper reason here was that Quan Dao and De Dao had never treated him as one of their own. It was only to deal with De Dao that they had to include him in their group. When the common target was eliminated, they definitely wouldn't be as polite to him as before.
He didn't care about such small details. After De Dao and Zuo Dao were expelled, he would also deal with them. As long as both of them had the same goal before that, it wouldn't be a problem.
At this moment, the palace door opened. He waved his sleeves and entered the inner room.
The two Daoists were sitting in the room. When they saw him, they stood up and greeted, "Greetings, Daoist friend."
Zhang Yan looked over. The one sitting on the right was the Daoist who came to visit Mount Li Wang previously, while the other was sitting on the left. It seemed like both of them were equally matched.
Although the two Daoists had sage-like appearances, in his eyes, their faces and figures were blurry and not very clear.
This was because the two of them were only formed by a strand of consciousness that entered this world. Outsiders didn't know the details, but in the eyes of his peers, he saw something wrong, which was why he behaved like this.
However, before the real body arrived, he didn't have to care about the real body. At this moment, he still had to return the greeting.
The Daoist on the left said, "Daoist friend, please take a seat."
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded. He sat on a cattail hassock in front of him.
The three of them were Taishang, so they didn't have to be polite. The Daoist on the left said directly, "The princes have been fighting for years, and the situation is already clear. Today, I invited you here to discuss the matter of joining forces to fight against De Dao."
Zhang Yan, "Do you two have any countermeasures?"
The Daoist continued, "Virtue and Dao are strong, and with the addition of me, in the past battles, they always suppressed me. Now that our two families are working together, we are barely able to resist the enemy."
The Daoist on the left said, "According to the agreement, if I win the fight for the throne, I will enter the main hall and the Daoist of Virtue will enter the side hall. However, this person has been holding onto that item for a long time and his mind has wandered off to unknown places. If I don't win this time, once the True Body of the Heavens arrives, we will be banished from this world. Only by asking for your full strength will we have a chance of winning."
Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had heard something from this person's words. It seemed that as long as this person had that thing in his hand, it was extremely likely that he would be able to use it to attract the attention of his main body.
If that was the case, then he had to overthrow the morality as soon as possible.
However, because the two families had already made an agreement, even if Virtue was defeated this time, he would only step down from the position of the Righteous Faction and be transferred to the side hall. He would not be banished from the Heavens. The fight for the position of the True Body would obviously continue.
This was not what he wanted. Hence, once he defeated this person, he had to think of a way to get rid of him no matter what. Only then could he turn around and deal with Quan Dao.
He said, "I will naturally do my best to help."
The Daoist on the left said, "After the Dao of Virtue is banished, as long as you respect my name, Quan Dao, you will be on the same level as me in the main hall of the Heavenly Court. “
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. He had already understood what these two people meant.
Even if Quan Daozhen managed to become the Righteous Faction after this battle, De Dao would still try to fight for his position after he retired. In that case, it would be quite difficult for the two of them to defend the Righteous Faction. Only with him would they be able to defend the Righteous Faction.
However, this did not mean that there was no need to fight for the succession of the Eleventh Prince and the Third Prince. This was because it might involve the right to control that thing.
Regardless of whether it was Quan Dao or the Dao of Virtue, there might be an agreement between the lineages. However, it was different for him. He had never had any dealings with this person. In fact, he even tried his best to avoid meeting him. Hence, if he could not obtain this thing, it would be useless even if he was placed on the main hall. Hence, he would definitely not give up on this place.
However, no one mentioned who should obtain the position of the Emperor this time. This was because there was no need to make a decision now. They could discuss it after Virtue was overthrown. Furthermore, if Virtue was not eliminated, there was no point in discussing this for the time being. Instead, it would ruin the harmony between them.
Due to Ying Kuang's repeated disturbances in the Apricot Continent, there was no peace in the recent days.
At first, Second Prince Hao Qiu did not think much of it. He thought that it was only a small problem. However, he gradually felt that something was wrong. This was actually a big problem. This caused him to be trapped in his own fief. He could not boldly attack others. If his other brothers, such as the Third Prince, attacked him at this time, it would be hard to guarantee that his backyard would not be stable.
On this day, Chang He came to Hao Qiu's residence after reporting his arrival. When he saw Hao Qiu's face, he said, "The matter that His Highness entrusted to I has been investigated.
Hao Qiu's spirit was lifted. He asked anxiously, "Priest, tell me quickly, who is it that is plotting against me!"
Chang He replied, "This matter should be secretly done by the former Left Imperial Minister of the Heavenly Court, Ying Kuang."
Hao Qiu was shocked. "Left Imperial Minister?" Zuo Imperial Minister was originally a trusted follower of the Heaven Sovereign. Even though Hao Qiu was a prince, he did not dare to put on airs in front of this person. The two of them could be said to have no grudges against each other. Hence, Hao Qiu was puzzled. He asked, "Why would he want to deal with my family?"
Chang He said, "Perhaps he was roped in by the other princes, or perhaps he was bewitched by someone else."
Hao Qiu cursed inwardly. He said irritably, "How should we deal with this?"
He might look down on his other brothers, but he did not dare to underestimate this dignified and resolute Zuo Imperial Minister. Not to mention, this Zuo Imperial Minister still had the Heavenly Talisman in his hands.
This item was refined by the Grand Supreme to display the authority of the Heaven Sovereign. It could be said that the person who wielded the Heavenly Talisman was no weaker than the Heaven Sovereign. Now, even if the Star Sovereigns led their troops to attack him, they would not be able to deal with him.
Moreover, the Heavenly Talisman's karma was too great. If it was used too much, the master would not have a good ending. However, the Heavenly Court and the various worlds would also be implicated. Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to provoke it.
He looked at Chang He and asked, "Can the Grand Supreme take back this item? “
Chang He shook his head. "When the Grand Supreme entrusted the Heavenly Talisman to the Heaven Sovereign, he said that no matter who has this item in the future, he will not interfere with it."
Hao Qiu was stunned. "Is there such a thing?"
Chang He nodded.
The reason why Ying Kuang was able to steal the Heavenly Talisman was because of De Dao's secret push. Hence, when Ying Kuang first descended to the Lower Bound, De Dao still had many ways to retrieve the Heavenly Talisman. However, Celestial Emperor still refused to appoint a successor to the throne, so De Dao let him be.
But now that so much time had passed, Ying Kuang must have mastered the various uses of the Heavenly Talisman. Even if Zhi Le and the other two joined forces, they might not be able to do anything to him.
Moreover, if they really did that, Ying Kuang could escape with the Heavenly Talisman even if he couldn't stop them.
Hao Qiu was frustrated. "Then what should we do? Should we let this person continue to disturb us? "
Chang He thought about it and said, "Don't panic, Your Highness. You can't use force to deal with such a person. You can only use your wits. What the other princes can give, Second Prince can also give and even more. Why don't you give him a title and promise to pardon his crimes after you ascend the throne? Perhaps, you can even make him work for us. At least, he can live in peace."
When Hao Qiu heard this, he felt that it made sense. "If Imperial Advisor Zuo is willing to work for me, what's wrong with pardoning his crimes? But the Heavenly Talisman belongs to the imperial family, so it must be returned … "
Chang He quickly said, "Your Highness, it's better not to mention this now. Otherwise, it won't be good."
Hao Qiu snorted in dissatisfaction. But he knew that this suggestion was correct. He immediately found a trusted aide and ordered him to write a letter on his behalf and send it to the Zhou Kingdom.
Ying Kuang had been paying attention to every movement in Xing Tai Continent. Not long after this letter was sent, it reached his hands. Based on the content of the letter, it wasn't difficult to see that the other party already knew that it was him.
But this was only a matter of time, so he didn't take it to heart. After reading it, he pondered for a moment and ordered someone to invite Danguang over. He handed the letter to the latter and said, "Daoist Danguang, what do you think?"
Danguang put down the letter and smiled. "Since Second Prince is so sincere in his invitation, Imperial Advisor Zuo might as well agree. But you need to grasp the key points well."
Ying Kuang immediately understood his intention. Danguang wanted him to pretend to agree. He nodded and said, "I understand."
He immediately picked up his brush and wrote a letter. The meaning of the letter was that he was willing to submit, but the Second Prince was not to pursue the matter of the Qi Practitioners who had submitted to him previously. After he finished writing, he handed the letter to Danguang and said, "Daoist, please take a look."
Danguang didn't stand on ceremony. He took the letter and looked at it. He nodded and said, "Send it like this."
A few days later, Hao Qiu received the letter. Seeing that Ying Kuang was willing to submit, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was very clear about the power of the Heavenly Talisman. With such a person helping him, his chances of winning the throne would be higher.
As for the Qi Practitioners, he didn't care about them at all, so he could easily agree.
Thus, he proudly called Chang He over to show off. Chang He reminded him, "Your Highness, this person is not easy to control. You must be careful."
Currently, they didn't have any Dharma Oath that could bind Ying Kuang, who had the Innate Gift. Thus, they had to be wary of Ying Kuang pretending to submit to them. However, seeing that Hao Qiu was in high spirits, they couldn't say it out loud and could only advise him in a roundabout way.
Hao Qiu looked at his expression and said with a faint smile, "Daoist, don't worry. Although I hope that this person will sincerely submit to me, I won't trust him so easily. I hope that Daoist can make a trip on my behalf to find out more about this person and ask him to help attack my Third Brother. There's no need to do anything else. Just repeat what you did on my fief a few days ago. All the expenses incurred during this period will be borne by my family."
Chang He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is wise. I will go now. Even if this person has other plans, I can use this opportunity to find out more about him."
