Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "Daoist Dan, do you think we can back down?"
Daoist Dan said firmly, "We can't back down from this battle. If we back down, we'll die. Only by fighting with them can we survive."
Because of the Elusive Bamboo Slip, he already had some guesses before coming to Tianxia. Now that his guesses were confirmed, some of the doubts he had for a long time were solved. If what Tianxia said about Yuanxia was true, then Yuanxia would gain power and the day when all living beings in this world would perish was something he would never agree to.
He knew what Zhang Yu said before. Cheng You Sect was particular about avoiding the world and people. However, if the world domain was gone, what was there to avoid?
Chen Yu looked at Daoist Dan's gaze and said, "That's exactly what I, Tianxia, want."
Daoist Dan nodded. At this moment, he raised his hand and bowed to Chen Yu and the other two. Solemnly, he said, "Chief Deacon Chen, two deacons, as the leader of Cheng You Sect, I hereby promise that Cheng You Sect will advance and retreat together with Tianxia."
This time, Chen Yu, Zhang Yu, and Wu Qingxu also looked serious. Solemnly, they returned the bow.
Although the two sects had previously agreed to attack and defend, there was no in-depth definition. Therefore, the specific extent of the agreement was vague. It depended on the thoughts of the people who signed the agreement and how they grasped it. Now, Daoist Dan's attitude meant that he was completely on Tianxia's side regardless of the cost.
At this moment, they finally gained a true ally. At the very least, they gained the full support of a Daoist cultivator who had plucked top-notch merit fruits and possessed a Daoist treasure.
Daoist Dan said, "I still have some questions that I'd like to ask."
Chen Yu said, "Please go ahead."
Daoist Dan asked, "Where did you find out about Yuanxia? Is it convenient for you to tell us? "
Chen Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Dan, please forgive us. We can only say that I, Tianxia, have my own sources of information. However, it involves some secrets, so I can't tell you. Please don't take offense."
Wu Qingxu said from the side, "Currently, only the three of us and your side know about this. Even the court enforcers of Tianxia and the other Exalted Venerables haven't informed us."
Daoist Dan nodded and said, "We should be careful."
Priest Bi opened his mouth and said, "Dare I ask you, since Yuanxia wants to merge with us in the same world, I wonder when they will make their move. Last time Zhang Tingzhi said that they will be seen in about half a month's time. Have Yuanxia's people arrived?"
Zhang Yu said, "I can inform the two of you that Yuan Xia's emissary will be here soon. The two of you will be able to meet him then."
Daoist Dan's expression remained unchanged. On the other hand, Daoist Bi could not help but hold his breath when he thought about how he would meet the people from Yuan Xia soon.
Chen Yu said, "There's one more thing. Before Yuan Xia's emissary arrives, I hope the two of you can stay here for the time being."
Daoist Dan was well aware that the Clear Sky Aura was placed around them from the beginning to the act of keeping the two of them here was to prevent them from informing the Exalted Venerables of this matter. He wanted to prevent Yuan Xia from knowing that Tianxia had made preparations.
He was willing to cooperate with them. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, the three of you. We know the severity of this matter. It's the same whether I'm in the sect or not. The two of us are not in a hurry to return." As he spoke, he snorted and said, "I'd like to see what Yuan Xia's emissary is like and what he has to say."
Wu Qingxu said, "Thank the two of you for your understanding."
Zhang Yu stood at the side and did not say anything. In fact, strictly speaking, they should not have told the two of them about this matter. This was because Daoist techniques originated from the same lineage. Even with the Clear Sky Aura's concealment, it was still possible for the higher-ups behind them to detect some clues.
Fortunately, they had already learned from the five deacons that even if Cheng You Sect's patriarch knew about this matter, he would not react. Firstly, without Yuan Du Sect's guidance, there was no way to confirm this matter. Secondly, the two of them had really carried out their seclusion to this extent. They did not even bother to greet each other, let alone care about the matters of the younger generation.
Daoist Dan said, "If there's nothing else, we'll retreat and cultivate first. Since we've already signed the alliance agreement, if there's anything we can help with, please feel free to let us know. Even though our cultivation is meager, we still have a Dao Suppressing Artifact. We can help you out a little."
Chen Yu did not stand on ceremony and said, "If there's anything we need, we'll definitely trouble you." He waved his sleeve and a ray of light spread out. He did not remove the cloth but instead, opened up a temple beside the Daoist Palace.
Daoist Dan and Daoist Bi bowed once more and headed towards the temple.
After the two of them left, Wu Qingxu said to Chen Yu, "Head Deacon, to prevent Yuan Xia's envoys from spying on me, we might have to make some arrangements. We should cover the area with the Clear Sky Aura to prevent spying. "
Chen Yu nodded. At this moment, Zhang Yu seemed to be thinking and asked, "Does Zhang Tingzhi have any other suggestions?"
Zhang Yu said, "In my opinion, there's one place that can't be ignored and needs to be covered up." He paused and emphasized, "The Big Chaos."
He looked at Chen Yu and Wu Qingxu and said, "The five deacons said that in order to prevent Yuan Xia from spying on me, they found the Big Chaos. Since then, Yuan Xia will not be able to know about me and it's even harder for him to predict my future. He might not know about the Big Chaos. This time, when he spies on me, he might also investigate this place. We'll use this place as a cover to prevent him from noticing."
Chen Yu said, "Zhang Tingzhi's words make sense." He thought for a moment and said, "The Big Chaos blends with the world and it's not easy to cover it up. We should ask Huo Heng to cooperate with us. Zhang Tingzhi, you'll represent Xuanting to talk to him later."
Zhang Yu immediately agreed.
At this moment, the three of them suddenly heard the sound of a bell. It could be heard both inside and outside the Daoist Palace. The silver ball that was originally floating in the depths of the Clear Sky Aura Boat flickered and disappeared. At the same time, a golden talisman floated down from the sky.
Chen Yu held it in his hand and said, "Since Daoist Brother Zhuang has become a deacon, we should go and meet him." He called out, "Ming Zhou."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed and said, "Head Deacon, Deacons, Ming Zhou, open the door."
As he bowed, a hole opened up behind him. Tens of thousands of stars seemed to shoot out from the hole and scattered on the three of them. Although they stood still, the surrounding airspace changed. It was as if they were flying at a high speed.
After an unknown period of time, the light slowed down and suddenly expanded. It was as if the world was expanding, revealing a boundless world.
Zhang Yu looked over and saw a boundless but crystal clear glass wall in front of him. It reflected a Daoist's silhouette that seemed to be scattered by ink. However, as the ink faded, Daoist Zhuang's silhouette gradually became clearer and he walked out from the wall.
Chen Yu bowed and said, "Greetings, Deacon Zhuang." Wu Qingxu followed suit.
Zhang Yu also bowed.
Chief Enforcer Zhuang's appearance was very different from the rest of the court enforcers. He guessed that this could be because in the past, the obsession could have been achieved in the first place. Cultivation was just a repetition of the Dao. However, this person was a cultivator who had truly broken through to the Upper Realm in this world. His real body was here, which was why there was such a difference.
Daoist Zhuang bowed and said, "Greetings, Deacons." After the greeting, he said again, "Everyone, I've reached the upper realm, which has alarmed Yuan Xia. They will surely come to investigate me. Are the three court officials prepared?"
Chen Yu said, "Deacon Zhang just received a message from Daoist Xun. It said that Yuan Xia's emissary is coming. We had a small discussion and made some arrangements. Does Deacon Zhuang have any advice?"
Daoist Zhuang shook his head and said, "I, Tianxia, have my own order. I'm no longer a deacon, so it's not convenient for me to ask about Xuanting's affairs. I'll leave it to the deacons to decide. However, if Xuanting needs my help, I'll try my best to help without disturbing the heavenly secrets."
Chen Yu bowed and said, "Thank you, Deacon Zhuang."
Daoist Zhuang said, "Next, I'll use the Qi of the Clear Sky to refine an instrument. I hope to obtain another Daoist treasure before Yuan Xia officially attacks me. However, I'm afraid I won't have time to care about the outside world. Please accept this talisman." As he spoke, he pointed his finger and three golden talismans floated down.
Deacon Zhuang said, "This is the talisman that I've refined. It can help you avoid being seen and avoid a fatal calamity. Other than that, it contains some of my experiences when I was ascending to the upper state. However, everyone has their own Dao. If I put everything into it, I'm afraid you'll be led astray and lose your own Dao. Hence, I'll only share what I've seen."
Zhang Yu reached out and took the golden talisman. He was not in a hurry to look at it. Instead, he kept it in his sleeve.
This was the benefit of having a mighty figure of the upper realm. With their guidance, one could see the Superior Dharma. However, in the past, whether it was Tianxia or the other mighty figures of the various sects, their Dao could not be used by the later generations. They could only set up Dao Dharma for reference. This was a gap. If one were to move forward, it was very likely that there would be another path.
However, many deacons in Yuan Xia were not like this. They were true cultivators and could guide the cultivators under them at any time. It would be easier for such a junior to ascend to the upper state than Tianxia.
After Daoist Zhuang gave the talisman to the three of them, he did not say anything else. He nodded at the three of them and his figure slowly dissipated into light, leaving only the glazed jade wall behind.
After Zhang Yu and the other two bowed, the light outside their bodies was released. After a moment of absent-mindedness, they returned to the Daoist Palace.
At this moment, Chen Yu turned around and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, I'll have to trouble you to contact Huo Heng."
Zhang Yu nodded and agreed. He bade farewell to the two of them and came out of the Daoist Palace. With a thought, the Life Seal Avatar walked out. In a flash of golden light, it had already left the Clear Sky Boat and landed in the chaotic land outside.
He stood here while the light of his heart swayed around him. His large sleeve fluttered as he drove away the chaotic and evil qi, and he didn't allow it to taint his body. But besides this, he didn't do anything else.
After some time, a cloud of ghostly Qi dissipated in front of him. Huo Heng appeared not far in front of him. He looked over and smiled, "Fellow Zhang, you want to see me? Why, have you thought it through and want to enter my Dao of Chaos? "
