In the face of Yuan Xia's impending threat, it was necessary for Tianxia to come up with a countermeasure. However, the specific plan still required the three people who knew about this matter to come up with a detailed countermeasure.
Wu Tingzhi spoke, "If Yuan Xia wants to attack me, unless he thinks that I, Tianxia, can be easily eliminated, he will definitely try to find out the actual situation of Tianxia before making his move."
Zhang Yu agreed with this view.
Now, all the inferences were based on the fact that Yuan Xia could not immediately eliminate Tianxia. However, if Yuan Xia could do this, then it would be useless no matter what they did today. The five deacons also did not have to inform them of this matter. They could just sit and wait to be eliminated. Therefore, this possibility could be eliminated first.
Since this was the case, trying to find out the inside story of Tianxia would definitely happen.
Chen Yu said, "Then the three of us should first discuss when Yuan Xia will come to my Tianxia to investigate, what method he will use to investigate, and how we should guard against it."
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we use the time of Chief Deacon Zhuang's achievement as the limit? Chief Deacon Zhuang said that he might reach the upper realm in half a year or a year. Then, let's use half a year as the limit. Let's assume that after half a year, Yuan Xia will spy on me."
Wu Tingzhi said, "I think it's possible."
Chen Yu nodded and said, "Let's use that as the limit."
Zhang Yu spoke again, "I have a guess as to what method Yuan Xia will use. The five deacons once said that they were enlightened by the Yuandu Sect's fellow Daoists. The five deacons did not mention the specific reason why the Yuandu Sect's grandmaster was able to connect the two realms. Perhaps it was inconvenient, but they only said that it was due to the changes in the mysteries of heaven. Then, was this change something that Yuan Xia did not expect, or did he intentionally leave it behind? "
He paused for a moment before continuing, "If you didn't expect me to be able to use this Heavenly Fate Variable, then Yuanxia would be able to use it as well. Moreover, it's most likely related to the power of the upper echelons. This isn't something I can predict, so there's no need to discuss this further.
However, if there's another possibility, that Yuan Xia had already anticipated the connection between the two worlds or intentionally left it behind, then can we deduce that Yuan Xia's investigation of the destroyed Wanshi and his descent to investigate my Tianxia was all done by the Yuandu Sect? "
Chen Yu and Wu Tingzhi nodded in agreement. They had many guesses about what method Yuan Xia would use. Zhang Yu's suggestion of the Yuandu Faction being the first observer was also something they had some ideas about. Furthermore, they felt that it was the most likely method at the moment.
Wu Tingzhi said, "If the Yuandu Sect was originally in charge of investigating my Tianxia, or if they had done this in the past, then everything makes sense."
As for why the Yuandu Sect would do this, that was another matter. They had no way of knowing the thoughts of the upper echelons, and there was no need for them to investigate. It was meaningless to think about it now.
Chen Yu said, "Based on this speculation, if Yuan Xia's investigation arrives, the Yuandu Sect might make a move first, or Daoist Xun Ji might take the opportunity to send some information over." He looked at Zhang Yu, "Zhang Tingzhi, you have a deep relationship with the Yuandu Sect, and you were once Daoist Xun Ji's teacher and student. I'll leave this matter to you."
Zhang Yu nodded. There wasn't much they could do now. Regardless of whether the real situation was what they thought it was, they had to grasp onto anything that was possible.
Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "What we're about to do might not be right, but we have to do it. We can only do our best to deal with the crisis. However, when Daoist Zhuang reaches the upper realm, the situation will be different. He will naturally point us in the right direction."
Zhang Yu agreed with this. According to the previous inference, if Yuan Xia would indeed pay attention to Tianxia after Chief Zhuang attains the Dao, then Chief Zhuang's own achievements would similarly allow Tianxia to have the ability to discover the external upper echelons' movements in advance. The pros and cons of this were interdependent.
Chen Yu said, "Other than this, do the two of you have any suggestions?"
Zhang Yu said, "The five deacons have turned that layer into the lower realm. Now, thirty to forty years here is equivalent to a year for Tianxia. We can't let down such good intentions. We have to make use of this place. We can't let the cultivators and armored soldiers make their own decisions. Instead, we have to make a decree in the court to allow them to increase their strength as much as possible. "
Chen Yu thought about it and said decisively, "I'll gather the court deacons to discuss this matter later. If Zhang Tingzhi has anything else to say, you can bring it up together."
Zhang Yu's expression became more serious. He said, "There's one more thing that needs the approval of the chief deacon and the court deacons. Chen Tian, Huanyang, Shenzhao and the other sects hid in the void. After defeating them, Tianxia did not pursue them. This is because Tianxia is getting stronger by the day. I'm confident that I can handle this person if he comes again. There's no need to waste the lives of the cultivators.
However, in order to fight against Yuan Xia, Tianxia can't have any more twists and turns. We have to eliminate all possible movements. Therefore, we have to think of a way to get rid of or imprison this person. "
Wu Tingzhi nodded subconsciously. It was obvious that he agreed with this view.
Chen Yu said, "Does Zhang Tingzhi have a specific plan?"
Zhang Yu said, "Tianxia has released a few warning stars into the depths of the void. However, they are mainly used to monitor and report back when the various sects return. However, I'll try to get them to find out where the various sects retreated." In fact, he still had the amulet that Guan Chaosheng gave him. However, it was hard to say if he could use it to find Huanyang school.
Wu Tingzhi said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on these few people. I can deploy some people from the prison to speed up the search. We have to find out where these sects are hiding."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "If this matter can be resolved, then the only thing left to pay attention to is the creation of Tian Ji. The creation in that layer possesses the power of the upper level. Although it's not enough to change, it can be used as a supplement to our power. "
Wu Tingzhi raised a different opinion at this moment. He said, "Zhang Tingzhi, I've understood that layer. All the creations are not isolated. Instead, they have to work together. For example, the bees have to fight against a strong enemy in huge numbers. This means that once the creations are used in the battle, it will be a battle of attrition. When that happens, the sacrifice of the people will become a number."
He emphasized, "The existence of Xuanting is to protect the people of Tianxia. If the people of Tianxia were to join in this battle, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Wu Tingzhi, if we have enough power, then there's no need for the people of Tianxia to fight. However, if we can't stop them, then everyone will have to use their power. When the nest is overturned, how can there be an egg intact? I'm not sending them to the battlefield. If we encounter a situation where we can't stop them, then they will have the power to resist.
Moreover, whether it's my generation or the people of Tianxia, we are all people of Tianxia. When Tianxia faces a real crisis, every person of Tianxia has their own responsibilities. The five deacons believe in the potential of my generation, and I also believe in the potential of the millions of people of Tianxia! "
Wu Tingzhi couldn't help but be silent. He also knew that if they were to fall, then the creations would have to replace them. However, he wanted to increase the power of the cultivators more. For a moment, he seemed to be deep in thought.
Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "I agree to increase the creations as a precaution. However, the cultivators must be the main force, and the creations must be the support."
Zhang Yu nodded. Tianxia's territory was not small now. It was impossible to push everything forward at the same time. There must be a distinction between the main and the secondary. The details could be discussed later.
The three of them discussed for half a day. After deciding what to do next, they went their separate ways.
At this moment, in Baizhen Mountain. Deng Jing was cultivating in the Sky Territory Main Hall. Suddenly, he sensed something and saw a beam of light falling from the sky, shining directly on the peak of the mountain. Not only were the disciples alarmed, but even the Glazed Jade Heavenly Palace and Zenith Peak saw it.
Qiongying Female Daoist had a complicated expression after seeing it. She sighed and closed her eyes, continuing to meditate.
When Daoist Yuhang saw this, he smiled and called one of his trusted disciples over. He said, "Send the congratulatory gift that I have prepared to the Baizhen Mountain Lord."
The disciple said, "I understand."
At this moment, Deng Jing stood up and walked out of the Inner Area. After a while, a Taoist figure descended from the light. Then, Taoist Yu Su walked out of the light beam, holding a golden edict in one hand and a jade tablet in the other.
Deng Jing bowed and said, "Greetings, Deacon Yusu."
Daoist Yusu stood still with the edict in her hand. She said, "Xuanting issues an edict. Defender Deng, please come forward."
Deng Jing bowed again and said, "Deng Jing receives the edict."
Daoist Yusu opened the edict and read out the Xuanting edict that summoned him as a deacon. Finally, he closed the edict and handed it down with both hands, "Daoist Deng, please receive the edict."
Deng Jing took a few steps forward and received the imperial edict. Then, he opened it and read it. After glancing at it, he was slightly surprised. He realized that the seals of Zhu Tingzhi were different from before. There was no Chief Enforcer Zhuang's seal. Instead, Chen Tingzhi's seal was at the top. He raised his head and said, "Daoist Yusu, is there a change in Xuanting?"
Daoist Yusu said, "Chief Deacon Zhuang has passed away. Second Deacon Chen has taken over his position."
Deng Jing said, "I see." However, he noticed that the seal that was second only to Chen Tingzhi was not Wu Qingxu's, but Zhang Yu's. It was obvious that the seats of the deacons were adjusted. He kept the edict and took a step to the side. He said, "Deacon Yusu, why don't you come in for a chat?"
Daoist Yusu declined, "There's no need. Since the edict is here, I shall take my leave. Deng Tingzhi, don't forget about the mid-month court meeting next month. "
Deng Jing said, "I'll be there."
Meanwhile, above the sea of clouds, Wu Tingzhi returned to Shen Gou Daoist Palace after bidding farewell to the two of them. He sat on a praying mat and seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, he stood up and walked out of the palace. He stood still, but in the next moment, the scenery in front of him changed. He appeared in front of Yi Chang Daoist Palace.
As if it sensed his arrival, the originally closed doors of the palace slowly opened inwards. He walked in.
Zhangsun Tingzhi was standing in front of the main palace to welcome him. When he saw him, he bowed silently.
Wu Tingzhi returned the greeting and asked in a deep voice, "Zhangsun Tingzhi, how is that matter coming along?"
