Everyone was shocked when they heard Jizhuang Daoren's words.
Ji Zhuang was clearly telling them that if they didn't want everything to collapse, they could only do their best to protect it. They didn't need to rely too much on that person. Moreover, if that person saw that things couldn't be done, he wouldn't try his best to stop them. Perhaps, he would let that person do whatever he wanted.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. He didn't think so. Ji Zhuang's words were half true and half false. That person had tried every means possible to return to this place and even summoned them together for a discussion. How could such a serious matter be abandoned just like that?
Moreover, the purpose of this wasn't to protect Zhu You as he had said, but rather, it was likely that he had other intentions.
Daoist Zhanyuan pondered for a moment before he cupped his hands and bowed to Daoist Jizhuang. With a solemn expression, he said, "I only have one question. If we do as fellow Daoist said, can we really stop that person from returning?"
Daoist Ji Zhuang's expression also turned serious, and he said, "Even Da De can't see through all the changes in the heavenly secrets. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a thing as the essence of creation being destroyed. However, if everyone does as I say, as long as I'm around, I can guarantee that the will that was entrusted to me can no longer destroy everything."
Zhanyuan nodded silently, bowed again, and said no more.
At this time, Jizhuang Daoren looked at Zhang Yan, waiting for the latter's reply.
As a master, he knew very well that as long as Zhang Yan, the Heavenly Imperial Master, agreed, the opinions of the others didn't matter at all.
Xuan Che, Towering Sky, and the others also looked over. In fact, they also didn't agree with this matter, but since they were sheltering in Mirror Lake, they couldn't directly oppose it. However, if Zhang Yan didn't agree, then this matter wouldn't be able to be carried out, and the pressure would be shouldered by Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan thought for a moment. He knew very well that if he really didn't want to do as Jizhuang Daoren suggested, then the two families would most likely start a war.
He was fearless towards this. Just as he'd thought before, the other party wasn't a true great virtue after all, and he hadn't reached the point where he could suppress everything.
However, he had a feeling that a direct battle was not the best choice. There was probably a great hindrance here, and this hindrance did not come from Ji Zhuang himself, but from somewhere else.
He pondered deeply for a moment, then tried to calculate again, and came up with a plan in his mind.
However, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he decided to ask for everyone's opinion. After all, he had defeated that existence, so he had already severed his karma with him. He was not bound by this method. The ones who would truly suffer losses were Bu Xu Tian's companions.
He immediately changed his mind and entered the unknown.
In the next moment, all the cultivators under the protection of Bu Xu Tian appeared one by one.
Zhang Yan treated everyone and said, "What do you think of this matter?"
Daoist Qing Sheng said to himself, "Fellow Daoist, you mustn't agree to this. Since Ji Zhuang admitted that he couldn't do anything to that person and that his methods were only so-so, why should we care about his words? At worst, we'll just fight. "
Daoist Zhanyuan shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. The power of Da De is not something I can judge. We don't know Ji Zhuang's background, and that existence is always coveting him. The situation is complicated, and the people of Mirror Lake haven't said anything yet. How can we fight so easily? "
Daoist Qing Sheng looked around and saw that no one else spoke. He sneered and said, "Do you think that I'm acting on impulse? Just Now, I'm secretly investigating, and the companions in Mirror Lake are also quite dissatisfied with this. It's obvious that their hearts are not on Ji Zhuang's side. If we can persuade them to join us, we might not have to be afraid of that person with our combined strength."
Luan Fang chimed in, "Fellow Daoist's words are not without reason. Let's not talk about the others, but that Yao Han has a deep mind. I've dealt with him several times, and I dare say that he must have a plan. It's just that he doesn't dare to jump out now because there's no one to take the lead. If I fight with Ji Zhuang, he will definitely cooperate in secret."
Daoist Shenchang pondered for a long time, and then said slowly, "Fellow Daoist, I think we can agree to this."
Daoist Qing Sheng stared at him and said, "Fellow Daoist is also a person who pursues the Great Dao. Could it be that you're afraid of the enemy's strength, and want to give up on the Dao?"
Daoist Shenchang said, "That's not it. I have other considerations."
He looked at everyone and said, "Listen to me, everyone. Heaven's secrets are always changing, but how can it be fixed forever? He has personally admitted that it's difficult to calculate the secrets of heaven, so it's absolutely impossible for him to cut off your Dao and never change. We don't have to clash with him now, and we can just agree and wait patiently. There will be a day when the Heaven and Earth changes. "
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. When he conversed with the sword-bearing Daoist, the other party also thought the same. It was absolutely impossible for Jizhuang Daoren to maintain the situation as he said.
It was impossible for Ji Zhuang to not know this, so he guessed that he must be trying to do something, but he didn't want another Bhadanta to come in at this time and disrupt the situation. That was why he was so concerned about this matter, and once he achieved his goal, he would definitely put this matter aside.
Daoist Zhanyuan also voiced his agreement at this time. He said, "Although I don't know what kind of ability Jizhuang Daoren has, if we fight, let's not talk about the outcome first, and instead give that existence a chance. It's better to agree for now and wait for the Heaven to change again. Then, we can talk about it again. Everyone here is eternal, neither dead nor alive. Is this really the only time we need?"
Chenshu also said, "I think that the one who calls himself a Bhadanta and invited us here must have something to rely on. Regardless of whether it's a fight or a peace, we must be careful."
Zhang Yan turned his head to the other side and looked at Boy Shenchang, who had been biting his finger. He smiled and said, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
Boy Shenchang shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's useless, it's useless."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know whether his words were useless in a fight or a peace talk.
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and then smiled slightly. Obviously, he understood what Boy Shenchang meant.
Daoist Qing Sheng snorted coldly and looked at him. "What do you say, Fellow Daoist?"
Zhang Yan looked at everyone and said, "Actually, I have the intention to fight with him. This person calls himself a Bhadanta, so I might be able to catch a glimpse of a superior Dao technique from him. That would be beneficial to me and everyone here. Moreover, Daoist Luanfang is right. That person, Yao Han, has sent me many letters, asking me to join him in seizing the Mirror Lake. Therefore, it is true that the people under Ji Zhuang are uncertain."
At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "Just Now, Daoist Chenshu said that this person might have something to rely on. This is not a lie. I also have the same feeling. After some calculations, I suspect that even if I don't agree to this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop Ji Zhuang's action of sealing off everyone's Dao path."
Everyone was shocked. They could ignore what Chenshu said, but Zhang Yan's cultivation was undoubtedly the highest among them. Moreover, he was the master of several places of creation. If he had the same feeling, it would be very believable.
Zhang Yan said again, "Everyone, please calm down. Whether it is war or peace, let me talk to Ji Zhuang first before we decide."
Everyone cupped their hands and said, "We will follow your decision, Daoist."
Zhang Yan retreated from the spirit's will and looked at the seat.
Just Now, everyone expressed their opinions and mentioned most of the things that could trigger a war. However, they did not touch on the other issue.
Jizhuang Daoren wanted the Spirit Refinement cultivators to stop cultivating. At the same time, he also wanted the living beings in the present world to stop pursuing the Dao. Perhaps in the eyes of his peers, the life and death of the present world was but an instant. The living beings in there could appear with a thought and disappear with a thought. Naturally, they did not need to care about it. However, he was the master of Bu Xu Tian, and he had many juniors and disciples in his sect. How could he abandon it? He needed to demand an explanation for it!
Jizhuang Daoren also looked over. However, he did not speak. Instead, he transferred his spirit's will over.
Zhang Yan sensed it and knew that he wanted to talk to him alone. He immediately changed his mind and welcomed his spirit's will. The two of them also entered an unknown place.
Jizhuang Daoren asked, "What do you think, Daoist?"
Zhang Yan put his sleeves behind his back and said, "Daoist, you should know that what we seek is nothing more than the Dao. I'm afraid that not many people are willing to compromise. If you do not have any means, then there will be a fight between our two sects."
Jizhuang Daoren was silent for a while. Then, he lifted his sleeve and a Pauline flower appeared. Even in this unknown place, it could not hide the golden light on it.
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. In this inexplicable moment, his Divine Wills intertwined with each other. He immediately knew what this item was and could clearly see the power contained within it. He said, "So fellow daoist has this item."
Jizhuang Daoren said, "I have this Creation Pauline in my hand. No matter if you agree or not, I only need to activate its power to make things go my way. No matter how strong you are, you will not be able to stop me."
Zhang Yan knew that he was speaking the truth. From what he saw Just Now, this Creation Pauline didn't need to be in a battle. As long as it was activated, it could easily obstruct the path of Dao. Therefore, what Jizhuang Daoren said was not an exaggeration. This person could indeed do such a thing.
However, if a Spirit Refinement cultivator was unwilling to give up and still pursued the upper realm and continued to compete with it, then he would need to divide a part of his power to resist.
Therefore, he deduced that this person probably wanted to use this Pauline to do something. Therefore, he did not want his power to be implicated here for no reason.
He thought for a while. Since the other party showed this treasure, there was no point in fighting with him now. If there was no equivalent treasure, he would not be able to stop him.
He nodded and said, "Since fellow Daoist has this item, I will explain the situation to fellow Daoists."
Jizhuang Daoren's expression relaxed. Just Now, he did not take out the Creation Pauline in the hall. Instead, he showed it to Zhang Yan in private. He did not want the latter to think that he had the intention to force him. If he did so, he might make things worse.
Just as Zhang Yan expected, he had a great use for this item. He did not want to waste his energy on this matter. It would be best if he could solve this peacefully.
He said, "Then it's a deal between Fellow Daoist and me."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Could it be that you have forgotten that there is one more thing that needs to be solved?"
Daoist Ji Zhuang made an 'oh' sound and looked at him. "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "The matter that you want to do not only involves many people of the same Dao, but also the theory of severing the Dao in this world. What should I say?"
