When Daoist Qu heard Zhang Yu's words, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shame. However, it was followed by a sense of shame and anger. Yuanxia had such a huge advantage, so why didn't Tianxia surrender? What was there to insist on?
However, he didn't give up on persuading them because this was the first time Mu Jiian asked him to do something on her behalf. If possible, he didn't want to fail.
Moreover, he used himself as an example. It wasn't that he didn't persist and resist before, but so what? The facts proved that it was all useless. In the end, he still had to submit to Yuanxia's rule. If that was the case, why didn't he surrender earlier?
Moreover, for those ridiculous and illusory ideas, he abandoned thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Wasn't that ridiculous? It wasn't worth it at all!
He had to survive first. Only by surviving would he have a chance. Therefore, he took a step back and raised his voice slightly, "Zhang Shangzhen! I know that Tianxia is at its peak, but it takes at least hundreds or thousands of years for a cultivator to achieve success. An upper realm cultivator needs at least thousands of years of cultivation. How difficult is cultivation?
On the other hand, my Yuanxia has a total of 33 generations of Daoism. There are many Daoist cultivators and the existence of weaponsmithing. There are also otherworldly Daoist cultivators that can be used. There are countless cultivators with excellent skills. Even if Tianxia is powerful now, how many people can go against Yuanxia?
Do you know that in the past, Yuanxia's upper realm cultivators rarely took action when Yuanxia conquered other realms? They could wipe out everything by relying on the otherworldly cultivators.
Even if you can resist the attack of the otherworldly cultivators, once Yuanxia's upper realm joins in, do you really have a chance of winning? You can't win no matter what! "
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Daoist Qu, you're wrong. What you said just shows that Yuanxia can't afford to lose. They can only rely on the otherworldly cultivators to kill each other to break through the world domain. You guys are confused by the powerful external appearance and don't dare to fight against them. Have you ever thought that Yuanxia isn't as powerful as you think?"
Daoist Qu's heart skipped a beat. Then, he retorted, "What a joke. Yuan Xia's strength is obvious. There's no way to contend against it."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said calmly, "So what you don't dare to do, I, Tianxia, dare to do. What you don't dare to do, I, Tianxia, dare to do."
Enlightened Qu's eyes narrowed slightly. He shook his head and said, "I really don't know if I should say that I admire you or that you are stupid." He paused for a moment. "Some choices may seem difficult to make, but in hindsight, they are actually correct …"
Zhang Yu said, "Is that so? Daoist Qu, I saw what happened to you outside the flying boat that day. Will Yuan Xia really treat you as one of her family? Why do you have to deceive yourself? "
Daoist Qu was silent for a while before he said, "Then we can at least be safe for a while. When Yuanxia obtains the Ultimate Dao, I can also enjoy it. However, you people who refuse to surrender will not get anything in the end!"
Zhang Yu: "Is that what you think, Daoist Qu? However, I thought that victory and defeat had yet to be decided and that the outcome was still unknown. "
Daoist Qu looked at him for a moment and said, "Zhang Shangzhen, you will change your mind." He said in a serious tone, "Today, I'm the one talking to you. We can talk nicely, and Fu Qing's faction can give satisfactory conditions. However, after a few days, Yuan Xia's higher-ups will talk to you. Then, it won't be so easy to talk."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "My purpose here is to talk to Yuan Xia's higher-ups."
Daoist Qu nodded and did not try to persuade him. He waved his sleeve, and a rainbow of light flew over and wrapped the two of them back into the pagoda hall. He then said, "Fu Qi and the other two are under the Young Daoist. Zhang Shangzhen is the messenger. If you don't want to cause too much trouble, it's best not to get too close to them."
With that, he bowed and said, "Farewell."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and bowed back. "Take care, Daoist Qu. I won't see you out."
Daoist Qu turned around and left.
Zhang Yu stood in place and looked at the endless scenery outside the pagoda hall with his sleeves behind his back. After a long time, Yan Yuming came up behind him and said, "Teacher, there are some gifts from outside. They said they are for the diplomatic group."
These days, people from Fu Qing's faction often came to visit the diplomatic group or gave them gifts. Some of these people had ulterior motives, and some of them just wanted to discuss Dao.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Just put them there according to the previous arrangement." When he heard that Yan Yuming had not left, he turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yan Yuming said, "Teacher, I've read some of Yuan Xia's records and talked to many of Yuan Xia's cultivators. Is Yuan Xia's strength much stronger than Tianxia's?"
Zhang Yu did not hide or avoid the topic. He said, "To be exact, Yuan Xia's overall strength should be stronger than Tianxia's. However, if the two sides were to fight, the stronger side would not be judged with such a simple method.
As strong as Yuan Xia, every time they attacked the outside world, they would use people from the outside world. Looking at the past, Yuan Xia would not make a move before this generation suffered a great loss. This is an opportunity to weaken the difference between the strong and the weak. Moreover, in order to deal with Tianxia, Yuan Xia tried all kinds of ways to divide us. Perhaps some people would fear Yuan Xia because of their strength, but how could Yuan Xia not fear us? "
Yan Yuming said seriously, "Teacher, I'm not afraid of Yuan Xia. Ever since I started following you in Dongting, I've never been afraid of any enemy."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly.
In fact, what he said to Daoist Qu just now was not to show his determination. It was because he really did not think that Yuan Xia could easily destroy Tianxia's.
The confrontation between two forces was not that simple. The strong and the weak could also be switched. Sometimes, victory did not even need to be obtained through direct confrontation. It was just that these methods were not easy to take, but there were still ways.
At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the hall. After standing at the entrance of the hall, a disciple said, "Ting Zhi, a guest came to visit just now. He said that he has something to pass to you."
Yan Yuming walked over and took the item. When he came back, he handed it over and said, "Teacher, the item is here."
Zhang Yu took it. When he held it in his hand, he knew that it was a fixed image transmission letter. Usually, when there was some secret matter and the sender could not show himself, this kind of thing would be used.
He let Yan Yuming leave. Then, he casually set up a simple formation. He guided the light into it and summoned the item. In an instant, a ray of colorful light shot out and condensed into a human figure about ten feet in front of him.
This person's entire body was hidden in a cloud of illusory fog. His head, face, and body were blurry. The light and shadow outside his body swayed unsteadily. There were no specific characteristics that could be distinguished at all.
He hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Zhang Shangzhen is very polite. Please forgive me for not being able to reveal my identity. However, I am someone who sympathizes with Tianxia. This item might really be useful to you. I hope that you will keep it well."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. There was a jade talisman condensed from light and shadow.
Zhang Yu glanced at it and took it. When the item was in his hand, the person bowed to him. Then, with a bang, he disappeared.
As for the letter just now, it had also turned into ashes and disappeared.
He didn't pay attention to these things. He just looked at the light and shadow jade talisman in his hand.
This item itself was a cloud of light and shadow. There were many rays of light jumping inside, condensing lines of information. However, he could see that only a part of this information existed. It was an incomplete item.
Did the other party not send the whole thing?
His thoughts turned. He didn't think that was the case. The other party must have only sent this much for the time being to ensure his safety. If he guessed correctly, the other party might send it later or at a suitable time.
He made up his mind and didn't continue to investigate. He put away the talisman and returned to his seat to meditate.
Soon, the night passed. The night outside suddenly receded and turned into day. This was a common scene of the alternation between day and night in Fu Qing Shi Dao.
However, in this extremely short instant, he suddenly noticed that the change had been extended by an instant. Even though it was extremely small, it had indeed happened. Even if it was someone at the same level as him, if they did not pay attention beforehand, they would not be able to notice it at all.
During this short period of time, he could clearly feel the Lustre Glyph in his possession move. Then, an extremely small fluctuation was transmitted from somewhere in the hall.
His heart skipped a beat. He got up and walked over. Seeing that it was a glazed palace pillar, he immediately took out the light talisman and guided it. A wisp of light flew out from it and landed on the light talisman. The light talisman then merged with it.
This was a very ingenious method. The other party first sent a light and shadow message. Then, using the light and shadow talisman as a connection, they used the moment when day and night alternated to send the other half over. It could be said that they had put in a lot of effort to conceal themselves.
He glanced at the light talisman. The information on it had been restored to its complete state. He immediately sent his consciousness into it and read through its contents in an instant.
He was slightly surprised as well because it was actually a list of all the otherworldly cultivators under Yuan Xia's command.
He continued reading. Although not all the cultivators who worked for Yuan Xia were listed, all of them were recorded in detail below. Their cultivation and the divine abilities and Dao techniques they were proficient in were also recorded. He also saw records of Daoist Qu, Cultivator Fu, and the others.
His eyes flickered. This item was quite useful. Once the two sides started fighting, the first to be responsible for attacking Tianxia would be these cultivators from the outside world. If he knew this, he could return and make some preparations. Of course, the premise was that this information was correct.
But from the descriptions of Daoist Qu, Cultivator Fu, and the others, it was very likely that this information was true.
Then, who could have sent it?
He thought about it. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be from within Fu Qing's lineage. Moreover, it was definitely from the upper echelons. Otherwise, these things wouldn't be so easily obtained.
The other party's purpose in doing this was still unclear. However, he didn't need to understand this. He only needed to know that this item was useful to him. After he memorized everything, he waved his sleeve and the light talisman turned into a wisp of light and disappeared.
