After the discussion in the Ring Hall was settled, Zhang Yu's incarnation gave the method to alleviate the curse to Zhu Zonghu. Just as he was about to leave, Yin Huanting transmitted a message to Xuntian Dao Zhang, "Mister Tao, can you stay for a moment? I have something to ask you."
Zhang Yu replied, "I'll wait for Fellow Daoist outside the hall."
He arrived outside the Ring Hall and stood in front of the ring-shaped transparent crystal wall. From here, he had a perfect view of the entire city. He could also clearly see the hundred-story ring stage diagonally across from him.
The clouds in the sky were lead gray, and most of the light in the sky was blocked by the thick clouds. It felt like a rainy afternoon, causing one's mood to be depressed and drowsy. The reason why the "Mianlu City Region" had such a name was precisely because it was shrouded in this kind of weather all year round.
However, this situation wouldn't last forever. Once the city's creator star rose into the sky, it would be able to expel the haze and illuminate the world.
After a while, footsteps could be heard from afar. Yin Huanting had arrived by his side.
Zhang Yu asked, "What does Xuanxiu want to ask?"
Yin Huanting said, "Mister Tao, I would like to ask you something. What kind of curse is afflicted with King Xi? If Mister Tao gives him a method to alleviate it, will he be able to truly remove the curse? "
He had just noticed that Zhang Yu had said that his method was only to alleviate the curse and didn't say that it could completely remove it. Therefore, he was keenly aware that if he had this weapon, he might be able to use it to deal with King Xi.
However, if King Xi had a method to alleviate the curse, wouldn't he be able to use it to further remove the curse? After all, there were many capable people by King Xi's side.
Zhang Yu said, "According to my deduction, the curse that King Xi was afflicted with should have originated from a high-grade magic tool from a certain cultivation sect. The most demanding part of it is the curse. Once it succeeds, it will be extremely difficult to remove. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been done by someone close to King Xi. This curse isn't that easy to remove. As long as the magic tool isn't damaged, it won't disappear. "
Yin Huanting pondered for a moment and said, "King Xi has a lot of powerful people around him. Could it be that the person who placed this curse is from the six sects beyond the heavens?"
Zhang Yu said, "Sects that have been destroyed are also possible. Sects can be destroyed, but people's hearts are not. Some artifacts also have spirits. If they are not careful, they are far more dangerous than people."
Yin Huanting nodded sternly. Some of Tianxia's true cultivators' ritual implements did indeed have spirits. If these things were not under the control of others, they would be very difficult to deal with. Even if the Evil Sect's Daoist cultivators paid attention to the Way of Heaven and Man, the ritual implement's spirit would not necessarily care about these things.
However, now that he was certain that King Xi wouldn't be able to use this curse for the time being, he could go back and slowly think of a way to use this curse.
In addition, there was another matter that he felt he needed to discuss with Zhang Yu.
He raised his head and said, "Mister Tao, when King Xi attacked Spirit Corner City in the past, he always retreated after two to three years. Therefore, if he can't take it down this time, he will come looking for me within two to three years.
This period of time is too short, and we don't have enough strength. However, I believe that if King Xi can break through this city, then he won't turn his attention to me. Regardless of whether he chooses to attack or stabilize the city, it will take him at least several years. Therefore, I'm wondering if I should lend him a hand. "
Zhang Yu understood the meaning behind his words. This time, King Xi's army had more than a thousand Xuanxiu followers, including Lin Ling and the others. If they used some unique methods, including directly borrowing the power of the Great Primal Chaos, then under the circumstances where the higher-ups didn't interfere, they could indeed cause great damage.
If the higher-ups joined in, perhaps Yin Huanting felt that it would be better. It could effectively weaken the power of the Hao Clan.
However, he didn't approve of this method. When one side became more and more accustomed to using the power of the Great Primal Chaos, then they would unconsciously be led astray.
Also, the invasion of the Great Primal Chaos was still fine on a small scale, but on a large scale, it would definitely be met with the hostility of all the forces on the continent, and even the sects from beyond the heavens. This was not beneficial to their actions. This didn't leave a way out for others, and at the same time, it didn't leave a way out for themselves.
He said indifferently, "Xuanxiu, I won't interfere with your specific actions, but some forces are extremely dangerous and can't be manipulated at will, even if it seems to be very useful at the moment."
When Yin Huanting heard this, he immediately understood. Solemnly, he said, "Mister Tao's reminder is correct. I will definitely consider it again."
Ten days later, at the front line of Spirit Corner City, inside the main cabin of the Royal Boat, King Xi was reviewing and handling the military documents that were presented to him. He only looked at the important points and never cared about the rest of the details. He left them all to his subordinates to deal with.
At this moment, a soldier took a document and handed it to Mister Chen, who was sitting at the side of the table. After reading it, his expression tensed up. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked in front of King Xi. He placed the letter on the table and said, "Your Highness, this is from Zhu Zonghu."
King Xi said indifferently, "Why? Is it about the fief? Is it a letter to complain to me? "He picked up the letter and read it. However, the contents of the letter were somewhat surprising.
After a moment, he paused in his actions.
Mister Chen stole a glance at him, but his expression was hidden behind the letter and couldn't be seen. He only saw Mister Chen reach out and grab the whip beside him.
After a while, the letter was put down. King Xi laughed and said, "You've really grown up. You're worthy of being my good grandnephew. I really didn't misjudge you."
His expression revealed a very relaxed smile, but Mister Chen's heart trembled slightly and he lowered his head slightly.
After following King Xi for a long time, he knew that this person appeared to be generous and forthright, but was actually harsh and ungrateful on the inside. Every time he acted like this, it meant that he wanted to kill someone.
"Mister Chen."
King Xi's voice sounded beside his ear. He said leisurely, "How do you think I should reply to this good grandnephew?"
Mister Chen raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his gaze and said, "Your Highness' safety and the war at hand are more important. There is no harm in agreeing first. There are some things … that can be dealt with when you return."
"Of course, the war is the most important." King Xi said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Mister Chen is so nervous. Could it be that you think I have other thoughts?"
Mister Chen lowered his head and appeared to be slightly terrified as he said, "This subordinate doesn't dare. This subordinate is only considering Your Highness's important matters …"
"Alright, I naturally understand Mister Chen's intentions." King Xi smiled and stood up. He turned around to look at the map behind him and waved his whip. With his back facing Mister Chen, he said, "Is everyone ready?"
Mister Chen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Everything is ready."
King Xi looked at the map from afar and lightly tapped his whip towards Spirit Corner City. In an instant, a crimson color appeared there. "Then let's march according to the plan we previously set."
After the meeting that day, Yin Huanting discussed with the others in Xuntian Dao Zhang to think of a way to assist King Xi in conquering Spirit Corner City.
Someone suggested an idea, which was to invite the fellow Daoists who had joined other cultivation sects to try to persuade those sects to support King Xi.
One had to know that Xuanxiu wasn't the only sect in Mian Lu City. Other than these two places, Xuanxiu's shadow was also present in the Lie King, the Elder Group, the Six Sects beyond the Heavens, and all the major sects on the Earth.
Because most of the Xuanxiu disciples could be said to be outstanding, for more than twenty years, under the premise that they didn't reveal their origins, they all had a certain status in the forces they had joined.
Yin Huanting adopted this suggestion and had Xuntian Dao Zhang send a message to the various fellow Daoists, asking them to cooperate with each other.
However, before these Xuanxiu could do anything, they quickly discovered that they weren't the only ones who were preparing to push King Xi behind the scenes. There were other forces doing the same thing.
Spirit Corner City, which was blocking King Xi's path, wasn't a single city. Instead, it was a military defense line formed by thousands of large and small city fortresses. King Xi had been unable to break through this defense line several times in the past, but this time, it was unexpectedly smooth. In less than three months, hundreds of cities and fortresses had fallen. This was an extremely fast advancement.
Even King Xi's side didn't expect to enter the exhibition so smoothly. This greatly increased the fighting spirit of the various sects. Under such circumstances, large amounts of resources and follow-up forces were transferred from the rear, preparing to break through this defense line in one go.
In the following days, as King Xi's army continued to advance, the entire defense line of Spirit Corner City became shaky and on the verge of collapse.
After learning about this, the Xuanxiu were very happy. This meant that King Xi wouldn't be able to pay attention to them for the time being. However, there was a piece of news that surprised them. Even though King Xi didn't mention this matter again, the person sent by Zhu Yanding to take over the fief was already on the way.
After Yin Huanting learned about this, he smiled and arranged for people to deal with this matter on the way. Then, he said to the Xuanxiu in Xuntian Dao Zhang, "Fellow Daoists, we need to break through to the upper realm as soon as possible. However, you must remember that the Great Primal Chaos is too dangerous. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't use it."
The cultivators expressed their agreement. They naturally understood that the battle in this world was only a temporary battle. Their original cultivation was the most important. The key was to gain the experience of going to the upper realm. Whether it was establishing a force or obtaining a stable place for cultivation, it was all to serve this purpose. There was no need to say much about the choice.
At this moment, Yin Huanting felt a thought coming from Xuntian Dao Zhang. His heart skipped a beat. He broke off his connection with the others and walked out.
When he arrived at the outer hall, he saw Yingxiong standing in the middle of the hall. The ink-black flames on his body silently fluttered. Yin Huanting greeted him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ying, it's been a long time."
Yingxiong didn't say anything. He only glanced at Yin Huanting with his scarlet eyes. Then, the red light in his eyes disappeared. His eyes were dyed black as he quietly returned the greeting.
Yin Huanting's heart trembled slightly. He invited Yingxiong to sit down and said, "Fellow Daoist Ying, right now, the city lacks many people to discuss matters. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ying is interested in …"
Yingxiong said quietly, "I only want to seek the Dao."
Yin Huanting nodded. Right now, many cultivators were not interested in worldly affairs. Yingxiong had many such choices. Solemnly, Yin Huanting said, "We are willing to provide help to all of our fellow Daoists. We only hope that these fellow Daoists can stay and help us after they succeed."
Yingxiong said, "That's all."
Yin Huanting smiled and said, "Then what cultivation resources do Fellow Daoist Ying need? Just say the word. As long as we can find it, we will find it for you. "
