Long after Jiao Yao entered the North Wei World Path, Daoist Zhengqing and Wei Yi arrived at the Laiyuan World Path around the same time.
The reason why they came here was because there was an upper-level mighty figure behind the World Path. He was the same person as Zhengqing and Wei Yi's teacher.
However, after they arrived at the World Path, the cultivators in the World Path treated them rather coldly. They were arranged to stay in the guest pavilion outside, and no one came to visit them for more than a hundred days. It was only until ten days ago that a disciple came to inform them that a clan elder would be summoning them in the next few days.
Zhengqing and Wei Yi waited for a few more days before a cultivator came to invite them.
However, the cultivator who led the way treated them rather coldly. Wei Yi ordered him to ask a few questions, but this person responded perfunctorily and only led the way.
Wei Yi was also rather displeased. He transmitted his voice to Zhengqing, "What do you mean by this? If you don't want to see us, why did you let us in?"
Zhengqing said, "This time, Tianxia's matter is the most important. Everything else can be put aside for now."
Wei Yi argued, "But if I don't fight with him, I'll lose Tianxia's face!"
Zhengqing said, "Junior Brother, are you fighting for Tianxia's face, or your own Qi?"
Wei Yi was not weak at all. He said, "Since we're outside, then I'm Tianxia. What's the difference?"
Zhengqing turned to look at him and said quietly, "You're still a scapegoat."
Wei Yi felt a wave of depression. In other words, he was still a sinner and could not represent Tianxia. He could only say, "Okay, okay. Senior Brother, you're right this time. But why don't you allow us to reveal our identities? Perhaps we can use this identity to meet Teacher. Didn't Xuanting ask us to try to contact Teacher? "
Zhengqing said, "Since we're allowed to enter this world, then Teacher should know. We don't have to specifically say it. Now that they've asked to meet us, it might not be out of their own will."
Wei Yi took a deep breath and said, "So, we have a chance to meet Teacher this time?
Daoist Zheng Qing said, "I thought it was unlikely that this teacher would meet us. However, since we're trying to use this relationship to open up the situation here, why can't the people of this world use this relationship to make use of us?"
Wei Yi was full of fighting spirit said Said Said Teacher, "If it's as Senior Brother thinks, then we'll have a good fight with them....."
As the two talked, they arrived in front of a hall. The cultivator who led the way went in to report. After a while, he came out again and said, "Elder Gu invites the two of you to come in."
Zhengqing and Wei Yi stepped through the heavy door and entered the hall. There was a good-looking middle-aged Daoist who was wrapped in celestial light waiting there. Seeing them come in, he bowed slightly and said, "I'm Gu Wei. Emissaries, please take a seat."
Zhengqing and Wei Yi bowed back and sat down in the middle of the hall. Daoist Gu Wei also sat down. He said, "I already know of the two of you. The two of you can be considered as Fellow Daoists of Lai Yuan. Therefore, after the discussion of the elders, we feel that we should give the two of you a chance. "
He looked at the two of them and said, "If the two of you can tell us the specific situation of Tianxia and are willing to cooperate with us in the attack on Tianxia, then we'll allow the two of you to join our world."
Wei Zheng's eyes revealed coldness as he spoke with slight mockery, "Then may I know how you'll arrange things for us? Will we consume the Tribulation Evasion Pill like those otherworldly cultivators, or will we integrate into that ritual?"
Daoist Gu Wei did not seem to take his mockery to heart. He said calmly, "Whether it's consuming the Tribulation Avoidance Pill or setting up the ritual, they're all inferior methods to isolate the power of tribulation.
These two methods are only for outsiders. If the two of you choose to join our world, then you'll be one of us. I can arrange for the two of you to meet the Patriarch. If you can get the Patriarch's Tribulation-Avoidance Mantra, then you can avoid the power of tribulation without any ritual. Then, you'll be no different from the Daoists of Yuanxia. "
Daoist Zhengqing said, "Elder Gu, did you call us here to talk about this?"
Daoist Gu Wei looked at him. His attitude became more serious. He said, "There are some things that can be discussed after we've settled these matters."
Daoist Zhengqing said, "The two of us need to think about it again."
Daoist Gu Wei nodded and did not force them. He said, "Then the two of you can take your time to think about it. When you've made up your mind, you can come and find me." He said to the cultivator standing at the side, "Let me send the two of you off."
Daoist Zhengqing and Wei Yi stood up and bowed. They then left the hall and returned to the encampment under the guidance of the cultivator.
However, when the two of them returned to the hall, there was a light floating outside the hall. It enveloped the entire encampment. It was obvious that they were isolated here.
Wei Yi said, "Senior Brother, it seems like they won't let us go easily if we don't give them an answer. I wonder if what he said was true?"
Daoist Zhengqing said, "It's true and false. Yuan Xia won't give people benefits for nothing. Even if he gave it to you, he would still need to take more from you. Junior Brother, protect me while I cultivate. "
Wei Yi was stunned. Then, he immediately responded with a serious expression. He said, "Yes, Senior Brother."
Daoist Zhengqing sat down and slowly adjusted his breathing. Wei Yi felt that the aura on his body was getting stronger and stronger. At a certain point, he suddenly restrained it. Then, he slowly stood up and said, "Junior Brother, wait for me here."
Wei Yi said, "Where are you going, Senior Brother?"
Daoist Zhengqing looked outside and said, "I'm going to weigh the Taoist skills of this generation and see what teacher taught them. If they can beat me, it won't be too late to tell me this." With that, he stepped out and his figure quickly disappeared into a light.
In the North Immortal World, Yi Wu rushed into the main hall excitedly and said to Yi Junzi, "Sect Leader, I've selected more than a hundred juniors to take the pills these days. At least ten of them have improved their wisdom after taking the pills. Sect Leader, if this continues, there's a great chance for our clan to continue!"
Yi Junzi nodded and said, "The cooperation with Envoy Tianxia can continue. You can provide more convenience for Daoist Jiao. Whatever he wants, as long as our clan has it, give it to him as much as possible."
Yi Wu bowed and said yes.
Yi Junzi was about to speak again when he suddenly frowned and looked at the sky. He said with a slightly serious expression, "Go to Daoist Jiao Yao now and ask him to go to the All Emptiness Well quickly. Tell Envoy Tianxia about this result. After that, take him to the back hall and don't let him come out without being taken care of."
Yi Wu felt that the atmosphere was not right. He didn't ask any more questions and immediately turned around and left.
At this moment, carriages appeared in the sky of the North Immortal World, and the sound of drums was heard. It was the people from the Yuan Shang Hall who came back last time.
As the carriages were moving forward, they suddenly encountered a layer of air barrier in front of them and had to stop. After waiting for a while, they saw the thick clouds in front of them slowly dissipating. Then, a golden dragon eye as big as heaven and earth was looking at them.
In the carriage, an old Daoist stood up and bowed. Then, he said, "Sect Leader Yi Jun, why are you blocking our way?"
The dragon eyes glanced at him, and the omnipresent voice floated over. "Last time, I already told everyone that I will make a decision on the selection of the next sect leader after the new year. Why have you come to my world now?"
The old Daoist's robe fluttered. He said, "We are not here for the succession of the sect leader. We have received a report that there are outsiders in your world who are using the All Emptiness Well. This time, we are here to investigate. I hope that Sect Leader Yi Jun can make way and don't block our way."
The dragon eye stared at them for a moment and said, "Even if you want to investigate, you should first inform me, the sect leader of the North Immortal World, and then let me deal with it. You have entered without any reason. What do you think of me?"
The old Daoist said, "This time, we are indeed a little impatient, but it is all for the sake of Yuan Xia. After we investigate, we will apologize to Sect Leader Yi Jun."
However, as soon as he said that, a rumbling voice sounded, "The matters of the North Immortal World are decided by us. I will not trouble you. I will send people to confirm it. Once there is a result, I will inform you. Please go back."
The old Daoist looked up and said solemnly, "Sect Leader Yi Jun, we are here on the order of the Hall of Yuan Shang. Please make an exception." As he said that, he raised his hand and a jade pendant appeared in his hand. The words "Hall of Yuan Shang" were written on it. He said, "Since you have opened the door of the world, it means that you are willing to let us investigate. I hope you will not stop us."
In the face of the ferocious dragon eyes that filled the sky, he appeared abnormally small and insignificant, but his tone was extremely unyielding.
Traces of blood gradually appeared in the dragon's eyes, and the atmosphere in the square became tense.
This time, the door of the world was opened because there were human body cultivators who disagreed with Yi Jun Zi. Due to a special reason, Yi Jun Zi had to restrain his power, so he tolerated some people's activities under his nose.
However, now that it involved the survival of the clan in the future, he did not intend to give in at all. Therefore, he said in a thunderous voice, "This matter has not been ordered by my sect leader, and no one has reported it to me. There is no need to say permission. If you insist on going forward, then I will have to exercise my authority as the sect leader."
As he spoke, streams of dark red light spread out from the dragon eye. The entire sky seemed to be dyed with smoke and fire, and a stifling power was brewing.
The old Daoist stared at him for a moment. After a while, he said, "Since Sect Head Yi Jun insists, then we'll wait until you know the result." He raised his hand and said, "Let's go back."
Following his signal, the flying chariots retreated one after another.
Someone in another carriage beside the old Daoist said, "Minister Cheng, it seems that Yi Jun Zi is very determined to protect Tianxia's emissary. It is not good for us to fall out with him now."
Minister Cheng said, "It is okay. Minister Xing has already gone to the East Immortal World. Let's see what happens on his side."
