Zhang Yu left the depths of the Clear Sky Boat. With a thought, a golden light landed. In an instant, he left the upper level and landed in You City's encampment.
When he arrived, Daoist Xian Ding was already standing there to welcome him. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Zhi Zhang."
Zhang Yu also raised his sleeve and bowed.
After the greeting, Daoist Xian Ding invited him to You City's main hall to sit down. He said, "After receiving Head Attendant Chen's letter, I have already asked the higher-ups. I will try my best to persuade the Cheng You Sect. However, Teacher and the two upper realm mighty figures behind them had some differences in the beginning. I can't say for sure if I can give them face. I can only say that I will do my best."
Zhang Yu asked, "It's good that Xian Ding can do his best. May I ask, what is the difference between you and the Cheng You Sect?"
Daoist Xian Ding smiled and said, "There's nothing to hide. In fact, this involves the Dao thoughts of our two sects. They believe that everything in the world, including the world itself, is a huge net. Once a person is born, he will fall into this huge net. The more things and people he comes into contact with, the closer the connection is, and the heavier the burden is. Only by trying to wash away the contamination can one truly transcend. Therefore, regardless of whether it is Cheng You or my lineage, the final goal is to chase away the contamination, transcend, and not be restrained.
However, everyone is different and uses different Dao. Hence, there are differences. My lineage has always believed that there is no need to be constrained by one Dao. Entering and leaving the world is the choice of my heart. Even if I enter the world and get tainted, I can cleanse myself. Therefore, my lineage has always believed that the world should exist and not be abandoned.
However, the Cheng You Sect is not like that. They despise my lineage as a servant to protect the world. They believe that since they have cultivated the Dao of the world, they should try their best to have as little contact with the mortal world as possible. After they have mastered their cultivation, they will be able to be "Great Carefree" and transcend.
They are just passers-by in the mortal world, and the outside world is nothing more than a hostel for them to stay in during the process of cultivation. It is dispensable to them. "
Daoist Xian Ding didn't seem to think highly of this method. Speaking of this, he laughed and said, "But this method is not something that everyone can practice. In the process of cultivation, many people who can't keep their mind will lose their humanity and even be forgotten by others. This so-called detachment, in my opinion, is just a Dao corpse."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Now that he knew about Cheng You Sect's way of life, he had a clearer understanding of their ways of dealing with them. He said, "Then I'll have to trouble Xian Ding to follow me to Cheng You Sect in a few days."
Daoist Xian Ding cupped his fist and answered with a smile.
He knew deeply that although You City was able to return temporarily and Tianxia allowed them to exist alone, it was definitely because Tianxia was here to deal with something. That was why he was willing to do so.
However, he didn't forget that although You City and Tianxia rarely fought each other in the past, it didn't mean that there were no old scores to settle. Now, they were tolerating them? Then what about the future? And Zhang Yu's identity was not ordinary. Now that he was sitting on the position of Vice Enforcer, he might become the First Enforcer anytime. He was very willing to do this favor.
In the Cheng You Sect, in front of an altar, Daoist Han stood at the bottom of the stairs for a long time. Finally, she saw a ray of light shining down from the void and onto the altar. A young Daoist cultivator who looked to be in his twenties appeared in the light. This person had a cloud pattern in between his brows. That was the heavenly pattern that Cheng You Sect cultivated to a high level.
Daoist Han bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Senior Apprentice-Brother Bi."
Daoist Bi nodded and said, "Junior Apprentice-Sister Han, why did you call me back so urgently? Is there anything?"
What he cultivated was one of the higher level techniques of Cheng You Sect. It was different from the usual method of seclusion. He would disappear from the world for a period of time and then return. However, if his cultivation was not up to standard and his mind was distracted, he would be lost in the void and disappear from this world.
Hence, he would leave behind a method to summon his fellow disciples. Firstly, it would allow his fellow disciples to pull him back at a crucial moment. Secondly, if there were any urgent matters, they would be able to call him back in time.
However, in reality, he never felt that there were any urgent matters in the sect. It could be said that ever since Cheng You Sect was established, there were very few urgent matters.
Daoist Han said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Bi, a few days ago, someone from Tianxia came. It was a Court Enforcer who had plucked the highest level of merit."
Daoist Bi was surprised and said, "Tianxia? I have nothing to do with Tianxia. After Shenxia, there was no more involvement. Why are they looking for us? "
However, at this moment, he started to take this matter seriously. If it was any ordinary cultivator, he would just send him away. However, it was a cultivator who had plucked the highest level of merit. Furthermore, it was a Court Enforcer. He was definitely one of the higher levels of Tianxia. This matter was not simple.
Daoist Han said. She then recounted what Zhang Yu said previously.
After Daoist Bi Ming heard this, he revealed a serious expression and said, "Shangchen and Huanyang have actually fallen to such a state?"
He had cultivated for a long time and knew the strength of these two sects. Shangchen alone had gathered and absorbed many small sects in the tide of merging sects. In addition, they had Cymbidium Lucidum, the treasure of Taoism. As long as they defended well, they could definitely fight against Tianxia for a long time. However, they were now forced to the brink of annihilation by Tianxia. Huanyang school, on the other hand, had completely disappeared.
To be able to annihilate these two sects, it meant that Tianxia's strength had greatly improved after leaving Xia. They could no longer be looked at with the same eyes as before.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Junior Apprentice-Sister Han, have you tried to confirm this news?"
Daoist Han said, "From the news that we received, Tianxia did not deceive us. Not only Huanyang and Shangchen sects, even the Shenzhao Sect that retreated from the world during Ancient Xia moved back to Tianxia. Also, Senior Apprentice-Brother Xian Ding's lineage tried to leave Tianxia, but now they have returned."
Daoist Bi Ming seemed to be reminiscing. He said, "Xian Ding's lineage …" He pondered for a moment and said, "I already know about this matter. Tianxia is quite generous. He must have attached great importance to this matter. It seems like we don't have much choice. "
Daoist Han said, "Then Senior Apprentice-Brother Bi, should we tell Tianxia?"
Daoist Bi Ming glanced at her. This Junior Apprentice-Sister was good at managing internal affairs, but she knew nothing about how to deal with Daoist cultivators outside the sect. He said, "There's no need. It was Tianxia who took the initiative to look for us. We're not the ones who are anxious, so we just have to wait. After a few days, Tianxia will definitely take the initiative to look for us. When that time comes, I'll talk to them in detail."
Daoist Han heard that he would be in charge of the situation. She was immediately relieved. She bowed and left.
Daoist Bi Ming was not so relaxed. He noticed Zhang Yu's words about the change in the Heavenly Design and the possibility of a great enemy coming. He was not like Daoist Qiao who thought that this was a random excuse made up by Tianxia. If Tianxia wanted to attack, he would have attacked them directly. There was no reason for him to fabricate such a thing.
But where was the enemy?
Zhang Yu waited for five days. As expected, there was no reply from Cheng You Sect. So he followed the established procedure and ordered Daoist Ming Zhou to invite Wu Tingzhi, Daoist Xian Ding, Daoist Li Mishen and Daoist Zhengqing to Shouzheng Palace.
These people were already notified. Not long after, they arrived outside the hall. After greeting each other, they boarded the golden boat with him. But this time, none of them went forward with their true selves. Even though he wanted to put pressure on Cheng You Sect, Zhang Yu did not want to go overboard. He wanted to leave some leeway for both sides.
Zhang Yu threw out the golden talismans given by the five deacons. They opened up the sky. The golden boat followed the golden light and once again arrived in front of the three doors of the hall.
This time, it was different from the last time. As soon as he arrived, the three doors opened. Daoist Han led a few of her fellow disciples out to greet him. Although she still had a brilliant appearance, her attitude was completely different from the last time.
Daoist Han glanced at the cultivators behind Zhang Yu. Her eyes revealed deep worry and uneasiness. The people who came to visit were all top-notch Daoist cultivators. If these people brought along their Daoist treasures and attacked together, without the intervention of the upper echelons, it wouldn't take long for them to flatten the entire Cheng You Sect.
At this time, Daoist Xian Ding walked out. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, greetings."
Daoist Han glanced at him and bowed. She said, "So it is Senior Martial Brother Xian Ding. I don't know how long it has been since we last met."
They knew each other before this. However, if the name of Cheng You Sect was not mentioned on a daily basis, no one would remember it. Xian Ding's lineage had the same ability. Now that they met, it reminded them of each other.
With Daoist Xian Ding, who was related to Cheng You, around, Daoist Han's nervous heart relaxed slightly. After exchanging greetings in front of the door, she invited everyone into the door and entered a magnificent hall.
Zhang Yu followed into the hall. He felt that everyone's Qi activity was gradually leaving him and gradually disappearing. His expression did not change as he continued to walk forward.
When he reached the end of the hall, he looked up and saw a Daoist standing on the platform. The Daoist bowed to him and said, "Zhang Tingzhi? I am Bi Shucheng. Greetings, may I have a private talk with Zhang Tingzhi? "
Zhang Yu understood that the Daoist in front of him was the one who could make the decisions in Cheng You. He raised his sleeve and bowed. He said, "Of course."
Daoist Bi said, "You said that there is a change in the world. May I ask where this change is?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "The change in the world cannot be explained directly. Daoist Bi, you are also a person who has achieved great merit. You should know that there are some mysteries that cannot be explained."
"Is that so …"
Daoist Bi understood. Solemnly treated Tianxia, it was reasonable for him to be so cautious. He asked again, "Zhang Tingzhi, you said that you have predicted that a great enemy will enter the world under the change in the world. He has the power to shake the heavens. You also said that this enemy will arrive soon. May I know how long it will be?"
Zhang Yu said, "It is hard to say exactly. According to my prediction, if it is earlier, we will see the answer in about ten days to a month."
Daoist Bi's expression froze. He thought that 'soon' was about ten years or a hundred years. However, he was told that it was only about ten days?
His expression became extremely serious. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he looked at Zhang Tingzhi and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, perhaps it is time for us to talk in detail."
