After Zhang Yu finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the field.
When the few cultivators of the Cheng You Sect heard this shocking news, they seemed to be deeply shocked, so much so that they could not make a sound.
The impact of this news could not be said to be small. Shangchen and Huanyang school were not small sects. Not to mention the powerful upper realm cultivators behind them, just the strength of the sects themselves could easily suppress them.
These two sects were sects that had existed since ancient Xia, especially the Huanyang school. How tyrannical was it? Even during the ancient Xia and Shenxia periods, there was no way to truly suppress it. Although in the later period of Shenxia, through the merger and integration of various sects, their strength had once suppressed Huanyang. However, because of the existence of Shangchen, under the subtle resistance of the two sects, Shenxia could only choose to compromise and cooperate in the end.
However, Zhang Yu just told them that these two sects had actually been subdued by Tianxia, and the other had been completely destroyed by Tianxia?
The female cultivator in the middle recovered after a long time, and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, this matter is more important. We can't make a decision now. We need to think about it for a while."
Zhang Yu understood that regarding this news, they would not only listen to him, but the people of the Cheng You Sect would also try to confirm it. However, this was good, at least they were willing to seriously consider it.
His original intention was not to intimidate the other party, but sometimes, if you did not show the comparison of the strength of both sides, there was no way to have a normal conversation with the other party. This was because the other party was against you from the bottom of their hearts. From the beginning, they had already set the distance and the result. Even if they were willing to come out and talk, it was just a formality.
And after he had laid out these "reasons", the other party would at least have some reservations, and would consider the consequences if they were to refuse again.
This was not too much. In the cultivation sects, the higher the level of the Dao, the clearer the reasons. In the eyes of conservative True Cultivators, Tianxia's influence was currently the strongest. In the eyes of conservative True Cultivators, Tianxia was the one who grasped the greatest principles. If they were willing to lower themselves to reason with you, they were actually very easy to talk to.
In fact, if not for Yuan Xia's threat and the fear that You City would be used, Tianxia would not have bothered with this secluded sect. However, if Tianxia did not interfere, if Yuan Xia came, she might not have a good talk with them. When the time came, she might even pull Cheng You over. That would be disadvantageous to both Cheng You and Tianxia.
He said, "It's fine, I can wait here. However, I would like to say that if we were to make an agreement, it would bind both you and me, but in the end, it would be beneficial to both of us. "
The female Daoist said cautiously, "Zhang Tingzhi, I will think about it seriously later."
Zhang Yu glanced to the side. The Daoist surnamed Qiao did not say anything else. Presumably, he did not dare to make a sound because of the outcome of the Huanyang and Shangchen sects.
The female Daoist apologized. Then, the lights where the six of them were were retracted. Then, the six islands became empty.
Zhang Yu looked at them. It seemed that this sect had indeed been secluded for a long time. They did not greet the visitors and directly went to discuss.
Although he did not care about these things of etiquette and could understand the situation, if it was someone with a bad temper who came, he might feel that he was slighted and cause trouble for no reason.
After the few people from You City withdrew their consciousness, they turned into light and landed in the inner hall. Although they were prepared to gather for a discussion, they still did not reveal their true bodies.
Cheng You Sect's method of cultivation was particular about not being tainted by the world and not being burdened. Only then could it be easy to cross the Great Dao. They were like this on a daily basis. If they could not meet each other, they would not meet each other. However, this was also necessary when one's cultivation reached a certain level. Cheng You Sect's method of cultivation was from low to high. It was a gradual process of seclusion.
However, for ordinary disciples, there were actually no strict rules. They usually cultivated normally. When outside, they were no different from ordinary cultivators. Moreover, not everyone was obsessed with coming out into the world.
The method that Cheng You Sect had always advocated was to be able to enter the world without being tainted by the world. Only then would one be able to achieve great merit in seclusion. Blindly rejecting outside influences was not the best method. It was only to avoid unnecessary matters that they declared to cultivators outside that they could not be tainted by the world.
The Daoist surnamed Qiao did not dare to speak earlier. At this moment, he questioned, "Tianxia's people came to talk about the Shangchen and Huanyang sects. Could it be true? Could it be that this person is deliberately trying to intimidate us? "
Someone said, "Tianxia wouldn't go so far as to spout such nonsense. We can find out with a simple investigation. With Tianxia's capabilities, they wouldn't really think that we wouldn't know anything after we went into seclusion."
There were also people who did not like to cause trouble and said, "Fellow disciples, I feel that Zhang Tingzhi's words are not without reason. Now that Tianxia is asking for a contract with us, why don't we agree to it?"
The person who spoke earlier agreed, "Yes yes, Tianxia's request is not high. As long as we do not disturb each other, that is enough. Although forming a contract with Tianxia will cause us to lose some of our cultivation, it is not a big deal. This will also prevent Tianxia from always keeping an eye on us. The other sects cannot find us, but that Tianxia cannot avoid us. "
The Daoist surnamed Qiao objected, "Everyone, we Cheng You Sect have never had anything to do with the world's Dao sects. If we do this, wouldn't it go against our sect's principles? Moreover, if we agree to it now, it will clearly show that we are afraid of Tianxia. "
At this moment, someone asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, the enemy that Tianxia Zhang Tingzhi mentioned, what exactly is that? There are only a few sects that come from the Xia that are powerful. It is neither Huanyang nor Shangchen. Which sect could it be? Could it be a new power that has risen recently? "
The Daoist surnamed Qiao said sarcastically, "There is no such thing as a new sect. If there is no powerful person in the upper echelons, how can these sects threaten our generation? Even if there is, other than Shangchen and Huanyang, there is no one who can threaten Cheng You Sect. But if it is a sect under Tianxia's orders, then it is hard to say. After all, Tianxia is the one behind it. "
Everyone looked at him doubtfully. They felt that Daoist Qiao seemed to be overly hostile towards Tianxia. Although Tianxia came to their door to express his dislike for them, it was not to such an extent that he was so hostile towards them.
A Daoist suggested, "Senior Sister Han, I see that Zhang Tingzhi should be a Daoist cultivator who has plucked a superior achievement. It is difficult for us to deal with him. Why don't we ask the two Senior Brothers?"
The female Daoist said helplessly, "Junior Brother Xu, the two Senior Brothers are now mentally wandering the void, training their skills. I don't know when they will return."
Daoist Xu said, "Then how about we ask the two Grandmasters?"
Daoist Han sighed, "As long as the sect is not in danger, the Grandmasters will not have the time to care about such matters."
Everyone knew that the Grandmasters did not like to care about external matters. Even if the sect was in danger, they might just casually grab a few Daoist seeds and leave them behind.
Daoist Xu saw that it was not feasible and said, "Then … why don't we delay it? Wait for the two Senior Brothers to come back and make a decision? "
Daoist Han thought about it and agreed that it was indeed a solution. She could handle the daily affairs of the sect, but she could not make a decision on such a big matter. She sighed, "Alright, I will try to call the two Senior Brothers back to discuss this matter.
After coming to a decision, the six of them returned to the floating island they had come from.
Zhang Yu saw the figure in the light again and could not help but look over. Daoist Han bowed to him and said sincerely, "Zhang Tingzhi, we can't come up with a solution at the moment. Because this is a big matter of the sect, we still need the Senior Brothers in the sect to make the decision. Since the two Senior Brothers are not in the sect at the moment, we can't make a decision rashly. We will call the two Senior Brothers back and give you a reply."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "Then I hope your sect can give us a reply as soon as possible. Because the change will come soon, I will take my leave today."
He did not say anything more. He raised his sleeve and walked out. After he left the hall, he followed the guidance of the golden talisman and returned to the upper level of the Sky Dome Ship in an instant and merged with his body.
He was thinking for a while on his seat. With a change of mind, he landed in the depths of the Sky Dome Ship and came directly to report to Chen Yu.
After entering the space and both sides greeted each other, Chen Yu asked, "Zhang Tingzhi, did the trip go smoothly?"
Zhang Yu said, "The trip went smoothly. I met the Daoist cultivators of the Cheng You Sect, but they were not enthusiastic about the appointment." He gave a brief account of the trip and said, "The person in charge of the Cheng You Sect said that he wanted to wait for the Senior Brothers to come back and make the decision. But I think that this is mainly to delay. If they can't make a decision, then they should have said so from the beginning instead of finding excuses later."
Chen Yu said, "What do you think, Zhang Tingzhi?"
Zhang Yu said, "If we calculate according to the time limit, then the arrival of Yuan Xia is not far away. We can wait for a few days. If the Cheng You Sect does not respond by then, then Yu Jianyan, let Daoist Li, Daoist Xian Ding, Zhengqing Daoist, and Wu Tingzhi come with me to the Cheng You Sect."
Chen Yu said in a low voice, "Zhang Tingzhi, are you planning to use coercion?"
Zhang Yu said, "It's not coercion. I'm just asking everyone to visit together. It depends on what they think."
He saw that the Cheng You Sect did not dare to reject and did not want to agree. Instead, he felt that he should show Tianxia's strength.
If the Cheng You Sect insisted on rejecting, they would not be moved by words and would not be intimidated. Then he thought highly of them. Because this proved that even if the Cheng You Sect was threatened with death, they would still stick to their original position and would not be easily shaken. Then, there was no need to continue.
But now, they were wavering. This generation was so weak. Think about it, if Yuan Xia came and used forceful means to win over the Cheng You Sect, they might not be able to withstand the pressure and turn back to deal with Tianxia.
Chen Yu was also very decisive. He said, "I approve of this. I will give you the greatest authority, Zhang Tingzhi. You can bring whatever you need on this trip. Also, the upper echelon in You City seems to have some relationship with the Cheng You Sect. I have already sent a letter to him. Daoist Xian Ding, please try to ask him. If it goes well, then we will have news back soon. "
