Within Shouzheng Palace, Zhang Yu and Daoist Feng were seated on a wide platform. The two were playing chess across the table while waiting for news from Chang Yang.
At this time, a deity came to report, "Deacon, Chang Xuan Zun is here."
Zhang Yu said, "Invite him here."
The deity left with a bow. Not long after, Chang Yang walked onto the platform and bowed to the two, "Chang Yang greets the two deacons."
Daoist Feng asked, "Chang Xuan Zun, how was your trip?"
Chang Yang replied respectfully, "Reporting to Deacon Feng, this Chang has already tried to weigh the pros and cons with the two, but to gain anything, I'm afraid it will take some time." Saying this, he took out a prepared letter from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands, saying, "This Chang and that Yuan Xia's conversation is all recorded here."
He knew when to stop. After saying that Tianxia was the last world realm Yuan Xia would eliminate, he did not continue speaking and stood up to take his leave. He did not try to persuade the two to surrender, because he knew that there were some things he did not need to say directly. Instead, it was best to let them think about it themselves.
And he also knew that the two had never let go of their suspicions towards him, but so what? What he said was the truth. As long as the two were still self-interested people, they would definitely think of ways to scheme for themselves.
Daoist Feng took the letter and read it, nodding unconsciously. Then, he handed it to Zhang Yu, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Xuan Zun. You will have to work even harder in the future. "
He held the authority to communicate with the expatriate. Of course, he also understood that this matter could not be done overnight and needed to be done slowly. At least, Chang Yang's current performance could be said to be good.
Chang Yang said again, "I dare not, I dare not. This Chang is also doing this for Xuan Zun, but …" He bowed, revealing a somewhat uneasy expression, saying, "For this matter, this Chang has said many things that are out of line. This also involves slandering Tianxia, I hope Xuan Ting can forgive me."
Daoist Feng said, "It's fine, you are following my orders and I allowed you to say these words. You are doing this for Tianxia's benefit, you are not at fault."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Chang, you can do this without any worries. You don't have to worry about anything. I can forgive you for what you said on this trip."
Daoist Chang heard this and could not help but feel relieved. And with the two deacons backing him, he could be more relaxed. He said, he said, "It's just that, I will need your permission to cooperate with me."
Daoist Feng's interest was piqued. He said, "Daoist Chang, what do you plan to do?"
Chang Yang said, "It's nothing special. This Chang only planted doubts in the two deacons' hearts today, and the next thing I will do is to make them even more suspicious …" With that, he explained his strategy in front of the two deacons.
Daoist Feng listened and said, "This is a good plan, we will follow Daoist Chang's plan."
This Chang Yang was happy to see that he agreed. If this matter was done well, he could obviously make a great contribution. He bowed and said, "Yes, this Chang Yang thanks the two deacons for their trust."
After Chang Yang left, Daoist Jiang and Daoist Feng fell into silence.
They could not believe everything Chang Yang said, but Chang Yang said that Tianxia was the last expatriate that Yuan Xia needed to eliminate. Combined with what they had seen in the past, they found that it was very likely to be true. This was because Yuan Xia did have some clues, and they had also sensed it.
As defectors, the only path they had to advance was through conquering the Uncivilized World. But now, they might not even have this bit of hope. This also meant that they would forever be suppressed at the bottom.
Of course, this was only thinking on the bright side. If Yuan Xia did not trust them, they would be completely annihilated in this expedition. Then, it would be done once and for all, and there would be no need to think about anything else. With their understanding of Yuan Xia, this was the most likely method.
After a long while, Daoist Feng said, "This person's words must be false!"
Daoist Jiang nodded and said, "That should be the case. These words are only used to sway our minds."
Although they said so, they were well aware of the real situation. But because they considered that they would have to report everything they said when they returned, they dared not admit it at all. They could only express their confidence in front of each other, so that Yuan Xia would not suspect them when they returned.
They had no choice but to persist because there was a shackle binding them. No matter how much they knew it was wrong, they had no choice.
From then on, Chang Yang did not see them again. Another half a month passed, and a cultivator came, saying, "Feng Tingzhi invites the two of you for a discussion."
Jiang and Daoist Feng knew that Tianxia's side had given them the cold shoulder for a long time, and was planning to have a formal discussion with them.
Daoist Jiang said, "Then lead the way."
The cultivator took out a talisman and tossed it out. In an instant, light spread out, opening a path through the chaotic aura. He cupped his hands and said, "Please."
Jiang and Daoist Feng walked in, following the vortex of light. They only felt slightly dazed for a moment, and then they came to a sealed altar. Aside from the thing in front of them, they still could not see anything outside. They even suspected that they had not left the realm they were trapped in, and had just changed to another place.
The cultivator gestured toward the altar and said, "Feng Tingzhi is waiting for you inside."
Jiang and Daoist Feng were about to enter when the cultivator stopped them, saying, "Deputy Daoist Feng, please wait a moment. Feng Tingzhi only wants to see Principal Envoy Jiang this time."
Daoist Feng's expression darkened, saying, "As a deputy, I also have a duty. I should discuss with your side together with the principal envoy. Why can't I enter?"
The cultivator only looked at him with a smile.
Daoist Feng also said, "Deputy Daoist Feng came in with me, and there are some things that only he knows, so he should be allowed to meet with your side together with me." He paused, "If he can't enter, then I can't enter either."
The cultivator smiled and said, "Since the two of you have come to Tianxia's territory, then guests should follow the host's wishes. Besides, it's not that we don't want Deputy Daoist Feng to speak. Our Tianxia also has a division between principal and deputy. Feng Tingzhi will greet Principal Envoy Jiang, while Deputy Daoist Feng will have another deputy in charge of meeting."
The two of them couldn't find any other reason to reject Ye Xiwen's words. Ye Xiwen was talking about the hierarchy, the hierarchy, and the superiority. In Yuan Xia, these were the most respected principles, even when dealing with enemies. They couldn't reject Ye Xiwen's offer.
Daoist Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then Deputy Daoist Feng, let's do it this way. It's better to carry out the important task entrusted to us by Yuanxia."
Although Daoist Feng was dissatisfied with the difference in treatment, he had no other choice. He could only watch as Daoist Feng walked up the stairs to the altar, while he could only wait outside.
After a while, the sound of a whirlpool could be heard. The cultivator saw a door of qi light open on the other side. He gestured and said, "Deputy Daoist Feng, please."
Daoist Feng snorted, stood up with a sullen face, and walked in. When he reached the other side of the qi light door, he saw Chang Yang waiting there with a smile. At first, he was surprised, but then he understood. He bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Chang?"
Chang Yang laughed and also bowed. He said, "Greetings, Deputy Daoist Feng. We're all deputies, so we can only talk here." He modestly invited, "Fellow Daoist Feng, please take a seat."
Daoist Feng thanked him and sat down on the seat.
Chang Yang also sat down on the opposite side. With a wave of his sleeve, the teacup on the table was filled with tea. He then said, "Fellow Daoist Feng, do you know that Zhuwu River has officially surrendered to Tianxia?"
Daoist Feng was not surprised at all. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said coldly, "Since he did such a thing, this is the only way. However, he won't have a good ending."
Chang Yang looked at him and said, "Is it because of the tribulation avoidance pill?"
Daoist Feng said coldly, "Since Fellow Daoist knows, why ask?"
Chang Yang chuckled.
Daoist Feng looked at him and said, "What do you mean? Am I wrong? "
Chang Yang transmitted his voice, "He's actually fine. Because Tianxia has a method to replace the tribulation avoidance pill. Now, he's safely staying in a safe place with good food and drink. As long as Tianxia is here, he'll be fine."
"What?"
Daoist Feng was shocked.
Tianxia has a method to replace the tribulation avoidance pill?
This news had a huge impact on him. It was comparable to the first time the Daoist cultivators of Tianxia heard that Tianxia was the incarnation of Yuanxia.
He even forgot to transmit his voice for a moment. He asked, "Is this true?"
Chang Yang looked at him and looked around. He made a shushing gesture and transmitted his voice again, "Fellow Daoist, please don't spread this. This is not a lie. To tell you the truth, the higher-ups will send Zhu Wujiang to the two of you later. They want the two of you to bring this news back. "
He smiled and said, "I'm telling you in advance because I get along well with the two of you. If there are any changes in the future, ahem, I'll have to ask the two of you to take care of this Chang."
Daoist Feng believed him now. If this was fake news, there was no need to do this. If it was exposed in the future, it would only embarrass Tianxia and make people lose confidence in Tianxia. He said perfunctorily, "Of course, of course."
After a pause, he pretended to be calm and said, "However, this is useless. When Tianxia dies, he will die too. I advise Fellow Daoist Chang to come to us as soon as possible. There might be a way out. "
Chang Yang sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're only right about one thing."
Daoist Feng said, "What do you mean?"
Chang Yang said, "Fellow Daoist, how long do you think it will take for Tianxia and Yuanxia to decide the winner?"
Daoist Feng said uncertainly, "At least a few hundred years."
After all, a powerful world domain could not be conquered in a short time. He could feel that Yuanxia also valued Tianxia. He also unknowingly believed Chang Yang's words. Tianxia was the last world domain that needed to be defeated by Yuanxia.
This would not end without a few hundred years. It might even be longer.
Chang Yang said, "Zhu Wujiang doesn't need to go to the battlefield. At least, he will be safe in these few hundred years. But Fellow Daoist, I'm not sure."
