Zhang Yu took out the talisman and saw a strand of Qi movement attached to it. He raised his head and saw Chen Yu and Wu Qingxu looking at him.
He said, "This is the talisman that Master Xun gave me when he last saw me. Usually, I only use it to move around. However, just now, I seemed to have used it to pass on a mystery."
"Oh?"
Solemnly, Chen Yu said, "Zhang Tingzhi, why don't you take a look and see what this mystery is?"
Previously, they thought that after Zhuang Shozhi attained Dao, if Yuanxia attacked, Xun Ji would most likely pass on a message to them in advance so that they could be prepared.
However, they did not expect this mystery to not be passed on to Yuandu Sect, but directly to Zhang Yu. They did not know if this action was due to his trust in Zhang Yu, or was it because he was worried about Yuandu Sect's internal affairs, so he did not want to take a detour?
Zhang Yu tried to take a look and said, "I need to borrow the Yuandu Xuantu to see this. I need to leave for a while and go to this Daoist treasure to see its meaning."
Chen Yu said in a low voice, "This should be a cover set by Daoist Xun to prevent this message from being intercepted by others. Zhang Tingzhi, go ahead. We will wait here for the result. "
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I need to leave for a while."
He retreated from the Palace of the Way and arrived at the steps outside. He called out in his heart, and in an instant, a ray of golden light fell on him. After a while, he reappeared on a platform that seemed to be floating in the boundless void.
Daoist Zhan Kong was sitting there and asked in surprise, "Zhang Tingzhi, is there something you need from me?"
Zhang Yu said, "Daoist Zhan Kong, you should know that Master Xun gave me a talisman last time. Now, there is a mystery reflected on it, and it seems like Master Xun is passing on a message to me. However, I need to borrow the Yuandu Xuantu to see it, so I came here to borrow this treasure."
Daoist Zhan Kong's expression turned solemn and said, "So it's a message from Senior Brother. Since it's for Ting Zhi, it must be related to Xuanting. Please allow me to leave first."
Zhang Yu also nodded.
After Daoist Zhan Kong bowed, his body flashed with golden light, and he retreated.
Zhang Yu waited for him to leave before taking out the talisman. He let go of it and saw the talisman float there. The Xuan Map below suddenly flashed. He could feel a thought coming from the talisman.
He was surprised to see that what was written on it was not some secret information, but the breathing technique that Master Xun had taught him in the beginning.
Once again, he sensed that there were a few minor discrepancies with the mental cultivation method that Master Xun had taught him in the past. If he were to correct these discrepancies, then he would be able to obtain six words:
"Yuan Xia's emissary is coming."
Zhang Yu's eyes narrowed. He checked it repeatedly and confirmed that there were only a few words in the mysterious theory. Apart from that, there was no other message. Thus, he put away the talisman. The golden light on his body flickered for a while before it disappeared.
After he left, Daoist Zhan Kong reappeared and sat down on the Dao Guarding Treasure. After sitting for a while, he seemed to sense something. "This is …" He stretched out his hand, as if he had taken some kind of Qi into his hand.
On the other hand, Zhang Yu returned to the upper level with the talisman. With a change of thought, he returned to the Daoist Palace and walked in. When he entered the hall, Chen Yu and Wu Qingxu looked at him, obviously waiting for his reply.
He looked at them and said, "First Deacon, Deacon Wu, that Xuanji was indeed Master Xun's messenger. He only told me one sentence, which said …" He slightly emphasized, "Yuan Xia's emissary is coming."
Chen Yu and Wu Qingxu's expressions froze.
Although it was only a few words, there were many things that could be deciphered. If this message was true, then it meant that Yuan Xia was not prepared to launch an all-out attack on Tianxia right from the start. Instead, they had other plans.
This did not mean that Yuan Xia's attitude toward Tianxia was lenient. Yuan Xia's goal would not change, which was to become the only one in the world, eliminate all mistakes, and climb to the end of the path. Tianxia was the only obstacle on their path. The only "mistake" that they had to eliminate.
Therefore, there was only a life-and-death struggle between them and Yuan Xia. There was no room for reconciliation. In the end, only one of them could survive. Not to mention this, the many World Domains destroyed by Yuan Xia were reminding them that there was no way out of this confrontation.
Wu Qingxu thought about it and said, "First Attendant, I don't think Yuan Xia's actions are in conflict with our previous speculation. It's very likely that Yuan Xia is investigating Tianxia, but he's doing it openly instead of spying in the dark."
Chen Yu nodded. What could be more convenient than Yuan Xia sending an emissary to investigate them? Regardless of whether Yuan Xia had other information or not, they could obtain a lot of information openly through an emissary.
Moreover, Yuan Xia might not know that Tianxia was aware of their plan. Therefore, the emissary's arrival might be used to mislead them.
Zhang Yu pondered for a while. This was Master Xun's first attempt at sending a message, so it was impossible for him to send a lot of words. Yuan Xia's emissary's arrival in Tianxia was already set in stone. Even if Yuan Xia knew about it, they would be able to defend themselves. He could only hope that Yuan Xia would not notice this.
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "First Attendant, Yuan Xia's action is not a last-minute decision. He probably has a set of methods to deal with the Otherworld, so sending an emissary might be an application of that method. His goal is still to destroy Tianxia and destroy my world. "
Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "Zhang Tingzhi's words are similar to my thoughts. Yuan Xia and I are irreconcilable. His emissary isn't here to benefit me, but to destroy me. Since this emissary is about to arrive, how do you think we should treat him? "
Zhang Yu immediately said, "He knows me, and I know him. We can also use Yuan Xia as an envoy to observe Yuan Xia's strength from a small perspective."
Wu Qingxu nodded in agreement and said, "Since Yuan Xia's emissary is here, let him come. We might as well use these emissaries to stall for time. Every day that passes, Tianxia will become stronger, which is beneficial to us."
There was no need to kill Yuan Xia's emissary as soon as he arrived. It was meaningless and posed no threat to Yuan Xia. Instead, it would let Yuan Xia know their attitude and attack with full force. On the other hand, delaying them would buy more time for Tianxia.
Chen Yu pondered for a while and said, "Then this matter is settled."
Wu Qingxu said, "First Attendant, Yuan Xia is coming. Should we continue to hide this matter? Should we inform the other Attendants? "
Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "It's not the right time yet. Let's wait for Yuan Xia's emissary to arrive first."
They did not inform the Attendants earlier because this matter involved the mysterious changes of heaven's secrets. If they were to suddenly reveal it, it would affect their Dao heart, which would be detrimental to their cultivation. Another reason was to guard against Yuan Xia, especially before Yuan Xia's emissary arrived. They had to be extra cautious.
They were cultivators who had obtained superior merit. Under the premise that the upper forces did not interfere, no one would know what they were thinking. If their cultivation was lacking, they might not be able to hide it.
They knew about Yuan Xia's matter in advance because of Yuan Du Sect's information. If Yuan Xia knew that Yuan Du's almighty had leaked the information in advance, many things would be problematic.
Wu Qingxu said, "We won't inform the Attendants for now. However, we should give an answer to the two Daoists from Cheng You Sect."
Chen Yu said, "Yes."
Within Tianxia, Daoist You and Daoist Yan had obtained superior merit. Although their cultivation was sufficient, they were not the Attendants and did not have the authority in Tianxia. Therefore, there was no need to inform them of this matter for now.
As for Li Mizhen and Xian Ding, Tianxia had only allowed their lineage to continue existing. Moreover, the attitude of the grandmaster behind them was unknown. Therefore, before Yuan Xia's arrival, they would not be informed of this matter. Only Cheng You Sect had to inform them of the alliance between the two sects.
At this moment, Chen Yu pointed downwards. A ray of light descended, and the entire palace rose from the sea of clouds. After it settled, he said, "Ming Zhou, invite the two Daoists from Cheng You Sect here."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed and left.
Not long after, Daoist Dan and Daoist Bi arrived at the Daoist Palace together.
Chen Yu raised his sleeves. Clear air filled the surroundings and covered the surroundings. Daoist Bi was shocked. He thought that Tianxia was going to do something.
Daoist Dan, on the other hand, was very calm.
Tianxia would not do anything to them, not to mention the fact that both sects had an agreement. Even if they did not have an agreement, Tianxia did not have to go through so much trouble to deal with them with the strength that he had shown.
There must be some secret that he was afraid of leaking. Therefore, he had to cover it up. Today, he invited them as an answer to their questions.
Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "Both of you, please take a seat."
Daoist Dan bowed and sat down calmly. Daoist Bi glanced at his Senior Brother. After bowing, he sat down as well.
Wu Qingxu said, "Two days ago, we told you that we'll give you an explanation regarding the great enemy of the world."
Daoist Dan's expression did not change. Daoist Bi Ming, on the other hand, looked interested. In fact, he was curious about the origin of the great enemy that his Senior Brother did not dare to approach and that Tianxia did not hesitate to mobilize so many people.
Chen Yu extended his hand. Two Clear Air talismans floated down and landed in front of Daoist Dan and Daoist Bi.
Daoist Dan's expression turned serious. The talismans were written in the script. Tianxia was so cautious. It seemed like the enemy was not to be underestimated. Daoist Dan sensed it with his aura. In an instant, the talisman turned into a strand of willpower and entered his mind. He instantly understood the reason behind everything and Yuan Xia's origin. His eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
He said softly, "So that's how it is."
On the other hand, Daoist Bi's expression changed abruptly. The news had a huge impact on him. No one would be able to accept the fact that he and the world he lived in were just a world that was put on an act.
Fortunately, he was also a person who achieved great merit. Therefore, he recovered after a while. However, his emotions were still unusually complicated.
Daoist Dan lifted his head and looked at Chen Yu, Zhang Yu, and Wu Qingxu. He lifted his sleeve and bowed. He said seriously, "Thank you for telling me about this." Subsequently, he lifted his head and asked with a glint in his eyes, "Since you know about this, may I ask why you're here?"
