"Master? Impossible! "Xu Changfeng was shocked.
The rest of the people's eyes flickered as they pondered.
"Hmm …" Zhao Yancheng stood up and paced with his hands behind his back. "This is a good move!"
Zhong Qingli stroked his beard and said, "This is just my speculation. Whether it is true or not depends on the future. However, they must have great ambitions to be able to stand outside the Ruyi Temple for a day!"
Xu Changfeng said, "Your Majesty, we must not let them join the Ruyi Temple."
He was also intelligent and experienced. He had not thought of it before, but now that Zhong Qingli had pointed it out, he immediately understood.
Once the three Crown Princes entered the Ruyi Temple, even if their status could not be compared to Princess Anfu, Grandmaster Dingru would definitely be wary of them. Moreover, the actions of the three indicated that they would pursue peaceful coexistence and would no longer start a war. This could also be considered a disguised form of surrender and taking them as hostages.
In this way, Yu the Great's transcendence and dominance would be stopped.
The plans of the emperor and the ministers would also be disrupted. It would be even more difficult to unify the world.
Zhao Yancheng nodded solemnly.
Zhong Qingli said, "Your Majesty, can you convince Master Dingru? What if he really wants to accept disciples? "
Xu Changfeng said in a deep voice, "After all, the master is from Yu the Great."
Zhong Qingli said, "In my opinion, Master Dingru has a grand wish to save all living beings. How can he only save one country and one city?"
"Will the master accept them?" Xu Changfeng asked.
Zhong Qingli nodded slowly with a solemn expression. He looked up at Zhao Yancheng. "Your Majesty, do you have a solution?"
"Your Majesty, I will go to the Ruyi Temple!" Xu Changfeng cupped his fists.
Zhao Yancheng waved his hand. "Forget it. Don't worry about it."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Changfeng hurriedly said, "If Master Dingru really accepts them, it will be too late for regrets!"
Zhao Yancheng said, "I know. My dear ministers, you may leave."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Changfeng said earnestly, "You have to plan ahead of time to prevent Master Dingru from agreeing!"
"I know, I know." Zhao Yancheng waved his hand.
Zhong Qingli and the other old men slowly walked out of the palace. Xu Changfeng was the last one to leave the Imperial Palace. When he walked out of the palace, he saw Zhong Qingli waiting for him at the entrance.
"Elder Zhong." Xu Changfeng cupped his fists.
Although he was the head of the ministers, he was also promoted by Zhong Qingli, so he was very respectful.
Zhong Qingli said, "Let's go."
Xu Changfeng and Zhong Qingli walked forward.
Standing outside the gates of the Imperial Palace, one could see the Ruyi Temple. It was about two hundred meters away, and there was no barrier in between.
At that moment, there were three middle-aged men standing in front of the Ruyi Temple. Not far away stood a group of guards. They stood motionless, like statues under the setting sun.
"Ai …" Zhong Qingli let out a long sigh.
Xu Changfeng smiled and said, "Since when has our Yu the Great been so revered by others? We can hold our heads high."
Shaking his head, Zhong Qingli sighed, "The strength of a single person is equivalent to the strength of several countries. It's a disaster, not a blessing!"
"Elder Zhong, are you worried that the Great Master will betray us?" Xu Changfeng asked.
Zhong Qingli said, "Since he has a sharp weapon, his killing intent will be aroused. Can this Divine Monk restrain his nature?"
"Don't worry about that, Old Zhong." Xu Changfeng said, "The Divine Monk Ding Ru really has the world in his heart. He wants to quell the disputes of the world. From now on, there will be no more wars, and everything will be settled through negotiation."
Zhong Qingli shook his head. "In this world, the strong prey on the weak. No one can avoid conflicts of interest. Even if the Buddha is reborn, he will not be able to eliminate this human nature. Unless he can suppress the world forever, the moment he loses his control, wars will resume."
Xu Changfeng nodded.
Zhong Qingli said, "His lifespan will be longer, right?"
Xu Changfeng frowned. "The Great Master is so resourceful, he must have a longer lifespan."
Zhong Qingli had a worried look on his face as he sighed again.
As they spoke, the main gate of the Ruyi Temple suddenly opened with a 'squeak'. Chu Li, dressed in a gray robe, walked out of the gate and came before three middle-aged men. These three men were the Crown Princes of Great Shuo, Great Kun, and Great Ning.
Chu Li pressed his palms together and said slowly, "Three Crown Princes, I want to stop all wars in the world. If there are disputes between countries, they should be settled through negotiation. War is not allowed. Does Great Shuo, Great Kun, and Great Ning agree?"
"Divine monk, we agree!" A handsome middle-aged man closed fist saluted and said in a deep voice, "Divine monk, how can I let you down? Great Ning will abide by this rule. If there are any disputes, we will not start a war."
Chu Li pressed his palms together. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."
Another middle-aged man with a rough face said, "Great Shuo agrees too."
"Great Kun agrees too." The last middle-aged man closed fist saluted. "However, Divine monk, there is something I don't understand. If there is a dispute, how can it be resolved without violence?"
Chu Li said, "Each country will send one person, including my disciple. The five of them will work together to resolve the dispute. The minority will obey the majority. If three people agree, it will be carried out."
"… Divine monk, you are wise." The three looked at each other and pressed their palms together.
In this way, if the three countries worked together, it would be enough to suppress Yu the Great. Yu the Great would not have to be the only one in power.
Chu Li pressed his palms together. "If that's the case, I thank all of you. I am very grateful!"
"Divine monk, you are too kind." The three of them pressed their palms together in return.
Chu Li raised his voice. "Where is An Fu?"
His voice was melodious and slowly spread out. It was condensed and did not dissipate.
Princess Anfu, who was cultivating in the palace, heard it and shouted, "Master!"
Her voice also slowly floated out and echoed in the sunset, resounding in everyone's ears. Then, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Princess Anfu was already standing in front of Ruyi Temple in a tight outfit. She closed fist saluted. "Master!"
Chu Li said, "An Fu, I'm leaving."
He glanced at Zhao Zhenghe and his wife who were rushing over and smiled. "Both of you can often come to Ruyi Temple to cultivate from now on."
"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Zhenghe and his wife bowed.
Princess Anfu was surprised. "Master, where are we going?"
Chu Li pointed to the sky.
The sunset filled the sky. There was only a sliver of the sun that could sink into the mountains at any time. The entire capital was bathed in the magnificent sunset.
Princess Anfu said, "Master, so soon?"
Chu Li said, "I came with a wish and left with a wish. It's time to go."
"Master, why don't you stay for a few more days?" Princess Anfu hurriedly said. "I'm still far from it."
Chu Li smiled. "Although your cultivation is not perfect, it's enough for you to do things. You must not be complacent because of this. You must be more courageous and diligent. Don't forget to find the next successor. Don't cut off the inheritance of Ruyi Temple."
"Don't worry, Master. I understand!" Princess Anfu nodded vigorously.
At this moment, a golden gate suddenly appeared in the sky. It was extremely huge, as if it was several times bigger than the entire capital. It could completely envelop the capital. The golden gate seemed solid and the patterns on it could be seen clearly.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Gu Yuanhe's voice rang out.
Zhao Yancheng and Chang Shuhua strode over.
The Protectors around them had already consciously blocked the onlookers. Chu Li's feet were already floating in the air, and he was a foot above the ground. The light behind his head had become clearer and brighter, as if a bright moon was hanging behind his head, shining with clear light.
"Master!" Zhao Yancheng hurriedly pressed his palms together. "What are you doing?"
