Daoist Ming Zhou's announcement surprised the Xuan Zun in the formation. They did not know why they had to stop attacking.
Fortunately, they still had the upper hand in the battle. Tianxia had an overwhelming advantage against the enemy. On the other hand, the enemy was unable to attack and could only defend passively. Hence, they could stop attacking at any time.
Chen Tingzhi said, "Zhang Shouzheng, Wu Tingzhi, Lin Tingzhi, and I will return to the court first. We will have to trouble you to guard this place."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I will take good care of this place."
Chen Tingzhi was not worried about this place. He only summoned the three Tingzhi away. Other than Zhang Yu, there was still Daoist Zhengqing and Yan Ruohan. This was enough to maintain a certain advantage against the enemy.
After waiting for a while, an oval shadow appeared in the sky. Golden light shone from the top. He, Wu Qingxu, and Lin Huaixin left one after another.
Before the passage between the two worlds, Guan Chaosheng's expression was solemn. He faced five cultivators who had plucked top-notch achievements. This kind of pressure was unprecedented.
However, he suddenly felt that two strong auras had suddenly left. He could not help but feel surprised. He did not understand what Tianxia was trying to do.
However, even if two of them left, the remaining three were not easy to deal with.
Just as he was fully alert, he suddenly heard a strange sound. It sounded like the rumbling of a drum. At this moment, other than him, no one else heard it.
He was slightly surprised. He looked at the formation and saw that the enemy did not intend to continue attacking. He pondered for a while and retreated into the passage.
When the Immortal Soul cultivators of Huanyang school saw him return, they were surprised and doubtful. However, he did not care about them. He leaped and headed straight for the Heavenly Tribulation Sun. His entire body turned into a blazing rainbow and shot into it.
As he continued to go deeper, the Heavenly Tribulation Sun's Wheel appeared in front of him. They overlapped with each other as if they were endless. After passing through an unknown number of layers, his momentum came to an end, and he stopped. He stood on a fluttering aura and said to the gigantic sun of Kalpa Realm, "I have arrived. Ancestral Masters, do you have any instructions for me?"
After he spoke, three huge Daoist figures appeared on the Heavenly Tribulation Sun. They were immersed in the light. However, due to the changes in the light, the three figures would occasionally switch positions. Sometimes, they even merged into one. no one could tell who they were.
One of the Daoist figures said, "We called you here because we can stop the battle now. There is no need to fight with Tianxia. Huanyang school can leave now........"
Guan said said said, "Can't.. . Can.......... is, Tianxia? "
The Daoist figure said, "Said do it.."
The Daoist figure on the right also said, "You City and Shangchen will arrive soon. After Huanyang school leaves, you can join forces with them."
The Daoist figure on the left also said, "Chen Baixiao and Yu Qingrong are dead. You should quickly pick two suitable people to be the host. Don't let the host position be empty for too long."
Guan Chaosheng saw that although the Grandmasters' words were tough, they chose to leave. They might have suffered some losses during the communication with the higher-ups.
He said casually, "Got it."
After the three Daoists took care of him, the huge figure disappeared from the Heavenly Tribulation Sun.
Guan Chaosheng retreated from the Heavenly Tribulation Sun with a thought. He called a few Elders of Huanyang school and said, "Pass down my order. There is no need to fight with Tianxia anymore. We will leave later."
Daoist Shusun was shocked and said, "Venerable One, if we leave now, what if Tianxia takes the opportunity to attack …"
Guan Chaosheng said, "Tianxia probably won't attack. If you are worried, leave a few people here to guard. The rest of you just need to follow orders."
Daoist Shusun and the others didn't dare to disobey. In Huanyang school, Guan Chaosheng's authority was undoubtedly the highest. He was also the only one who could communicate with the Grandmasters. Therefore, they could only agree respectfully.
"Oh right, there's one more thing." Guan Chaosheng glanced at the Elders and said, "The Grandmasters said that we need to choose a new host. You can make the decision yourselves. When you have a candidate, just report to me."
The few elders looked at each other and bowed in acknowledgement.
At this moment, a rainbow shot over and landed near the Qi bulge. Li Mishen appeared in the distance and bowed to him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Guan."
Guan Chaosheng waved his sleeves, and the elders bowed before retreating. After they left, he said, "Fellow Daoist Li, you must have received a message from your Grandmasters?"
Li Mishen said, "Yes."
Guan Chaosheng said, "Fellow Daoist Li, although Tianxia has stopped attacking now, it doesn't mean that he will let us go. Even if he doesn't come now, he will come in the future. This world is no longer safe. Before we recover our strength, we need to find another world to live in. We need Fellow Daoist Li's help."
Li Mishen thought for a moment and said, "It's better to have the cooperation of fellow Daoists from You City and Shangchen. Only in this way can we avoid Tianxia's search."
Moreover, he also thought that the reason Tianxia let them off this time was probably due to the alliance of the upper echelons of the clans. Since that was the case, even if the clans were only together in name, Tianxia would still be wary.
Guan Chaosheng didn't care about this. He waved his sleeve and the rattan throne appeared behind him. He sat down on it and said, "Then we'll just wait for them."
At this moment, Chen Tingzhi and the other two returned to the Heavenly Dao Palace. After they entered the hall, the Head Daoist said to them, "Please take a seat."
Chen Tingzhi and the other two men cupped their fists and sat down in their respective seats.
The Head Daoist said, "Just now, the Five Deacons summoned me and said that the various sects can leave and that there's no need to pursue. After careful consideration, I think we can follow this. However, we can't make a decision yet. Therefore, I summoned the three Deacons back for a discussion. "
Hearing his words, the Deacons fell into deep thought.
The Five Deacons usually wouldn't interfere with worldly affairs. Summoning the Head Daoist to speak was actually to convey some of their intentions to their subordinates.
This might involve the game of the higher-ups. The Deacons didn't know the specifics and couldn't ask.
However, from the Head Daoist's words, it was clear that the situation hadn't reached the point where they had to act according to this. Otherwise, the Five Deacons wouldn't have used such gentle words but directly announced the decree.
According to Tianxia's rules, if it wasn't an official decree, if the Deacons felt that it was inappropriate or couldn't pass the discussion, they could find a way to refute it.
Daoist Yu Su said, "Yu Su dares to ask, why does the Head Daoist think that we can follow this trip?"
The Head Daoist said slowly, "I think that Tianxia needs an enemy."
When the court enforcers heard this, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
A few Deacons nodded slightly.
For a long time, Tianxia had been harassed by Shangchen. However, it was because of the existence of Shangchen that Tianxia was able to maintain the momentum of advancing forward.
After this battle, Tianxia didn't have any opponents that could match up to him. Although there were still the Evil Gods and some unknown internal affairs, they were only minor problems. They couldn't be compared to the threat that Shangchen posed to Tianxia.
Now that this great enemy that had existed for a long time had been eliminated, even the cultivators might slack off because of this. There would still be fighting, but it would probably turn inward, and some of the internal factions would fight against each other to wear each other down.
For example, the struggle between Zhen Xuan and Zhen Xuan that everyone in the court was well aware of, the struggle between reason and order, or the struggle between creation and cultivation, and so on. Before these powers reached a certain balance, the damage they could cause to Tianxia would probably be far greater than the damage caused by external enemies.
However, if there was such an external enemy that could threaten Tianxia again at any time, then Tianxia would be able to maintain the momentum of advancing forward. It wouldn't stop because of this, and it would also reduce the internal consumption.
As for whether the Huanyang, Shenzhao, and even Shangchen would come back one day, Tianxia and the others had unlimited confidence in Tianxia. They were now occupying the upper echelons. Tianxia was becoming stronger every day. As long as nothing happened to him, so what if these factions came back?
Wei Tingzhi asked cautiously, "Head Daoist, we are willing to retreat. What do the Huanyang, Shenzhao, and the others think?"
The Head Daoist said, "If we don't do anything, they will retreat."
Everyone understood. Regarding this, the upper echelons had already discussed or reached a certain consensus. However, they still had the initiative for now.
After the Deacons thought about it, they discussed with each other again. Chen Tingzhi bowed to the Head Daoist and said, "Head Daoist, let's settle this matter by court."
The Head Daoist nodded and said, "Alright."
Chen Tingzhi looked at everyone and said, "This time, we attacked Shangchen with the intention of destroying this faction and preventing the external factions from entering the world. Now that Shangchen no longer exists, and the Shenzhao and Huanyang sects have been stopped from entering the world, the goal of this battle has been achieved. I agree with the Head Daoist's opinion. Let's stop the battle."
As he spoke, he picked up a jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime on the table.
After him, Wei Tingzhi and Chao Tingzhi also picked up jade mallets and knocked on the jade chime in front of them.
Zhong Tingzhi said, "After this battle, Tianxia may be stable, but Tianxia can only advance and not retreat. With a strong enemy outside, it is beneficial for us. We can also use it as a reference to reflect on ourselves and prevent future generations from forgetting our contributions today. Therefore, I agree with the Head Daoist's opinion."
He picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the chime. Then, the chime of the chime came from Chong Tingzhi and Zhangsun Tingzhi's seats.
After Zhu Tingzhi, Dai Tingzhi and Daoist Feng thought about it, they also agreed with this opinion and knocked on the jade chime on their seats.
At this moment, everyone's gaze shifted to Daoist Yu Su.
Daoist Yu Su said, "I think that since we have started, we should not stop. Only by wiping out the remaining enemies in one go can we prevent future troubles. However, the Head Daoist and everyone else's opinion is reasonable. This is a matter of pros and cons, and it is hard to decide in a short period of time. I will not argue with everyone." He did not knock on the jade chime, but his attitude showed that he was not against it.
The Head Daoist nodded. He picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime in front of him. The chime of the chime of Wu Tingzhi and Lin Tingzhi's seats also sounded. He looked at everyone and said, "Today's decision is made. We can stop the battle now."
