Daoist He was the first to discover that something was amiss when the two realms closed.
Although he was in the formation, he was very sensitive to the outside world's aura. The sudden disappearance of the passage between the two realms was much more serious than being trapped in the formation. Their escape route was truly cut off.
He wasn't sure if this was a temporary situation, or if it would always be like this, or if it was purely an illusion technique. But regardless, it was definitely inappropriate for him to return to confirm it. He would have to break through the formation behind him again, and at that time, he would be stuck in a difficult position.
And if the realm gate really closed, the people behind him would definitely think of a way to open this realm again. He didn't need to worry about it. Therefore, he decided to continue attacking the formation in front of him.
Daoist You had been waiting for this opportunity. As the person in charge of the formation, he had to make good use of the time and place. Now that the rift between the two realms was gone, the other side had no more reinforcements. This was undoubtedly a great advantage for him.
Now, he could relax and release his power to deal with these people.
He instructed the cultivator beside him, "Go and inform the other Daoists that the passage between the two realms has been closed. This person has become a lone army. As long as we guard well and wait for Fellow Daoist Tianxia to arrive, it won't be long before we capture him in one fell swoop!"
That cultivator said excitedly, "Yes! This disciple will pass on the order now! "
Daoist You stroked his beard when he saw him leave with a happy expression. He knew why the latter was so excited. It was because the closing of the realm gate meant that the enemy could be blocked outside.
But he knew that it was still too early to be happy. It was impossible to stop Yuan Xia with a barrier that would last for an unknown period of time.
Whether or not they could stop Yuan Xia depended on the person. Only when there were people would everything be possible.
At this moment, Yuan Xia's reinforcements suddenly discovered that the realm gate had disappeared. They were indescribably shocked. They immediately tried to find a way to enter again.
But after several attempts, they couldn't open the gate again. Realizing that their efforts were useless, they could only send a message to Yuan Xia for help. But before that, they obviously couldn't provide any support to Daoist He's group who was deep inside the realm.
After Zhang Yu's clone closed the space, he sensed that this barrier was extremely sturdy. He felt that if he forcefully attacked it, he would be able to block it for a few days, but he wouldn't be able to open it in a short period of time. On the other hand, Tianxia was finally free to send reinforcements. It was only a matter of time before this generation's downfall.
As expected, the Gully Realm's morale was greatly boosted when their escape route was cut off. On the other hand, Yuan Xia's side was in a state of panic because this was something they had never encountered in their previous expeditions to the outside world. They were at a loss for a moment.
Without the Gate of the Two Realms, he was naturally not afraid of Yuan Xia spying on him. Tianxia and the other Xuan Zun who had been waiting for a long time also entered this world to participate in the battle. It didn't take long for them to capture the Yuanxia cultivators one by one.
After all, Daoist He had plucked a top-grade merit fruit, so he managed to hold on until the end. However, under the heavy pressure of Daoist You's formations, he gradually couldn't hold on any longer. When all of the formation's power poured over him, he was already squeezed into a narrow space. In the end, he couldn't escape even after using all of his magic tools and ended up being captured.
However, after being captured, he still refused to admit defeat and sneered, "So what if you can capture me? When the Gate of the Two Realms opens again, my Yuan Xia's troops will definitely come again. You won't be able to escape. At that time, I will definitely switch positions with you. "
Daoist You kindly advised, "He Shangzhen, you've never been a prisoner before, so you don't know the rules of a prisoner. Listen to my advice and speak less, lest you suffer more losses."
Daoist He retorted sarcastically, "In that case, you've really been a prisoner before. Otherwise, why are you so familiar with the rules?"
Daoist You gestured, and a cultivator immediately gave him a thunder talisman. His body, mind, and primordial spirit were bombarded by the power of the divine thunder several times. Because his magic power was sealed, he could only endure it. Although he wasn't injured, his body trembled incessantly. The scene was very ugly, and he felt that he had lost all of his face.
Daoist You stroked his beard and smiled, "He Shangzhen, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Don't flaunt your mouth for pleasure." He thought to himself, 'This old Daoist's acting can be considered as a pro-war faction, right?'
Daoist He didn't dare to say another word.
Daoist You waved his hand and had someone take him away. Then, he had a disciple draft a report and sent it up.
Zhang Yu then saw the detailed report that was sent to him. He had seen everything and had nothing to say. However, Daoist He was the first Daoist cultivator to be defeated by Tianxia in the official confrontation between the two factions.
Since this person was captured, it meant that Yuan Xia's strategy would most likely change.
He was already prepared for this, but he still had to do what needed to be done. If he could delay it for a few more days, he was willing to try.
In the report, there was a detailed description of the Ravine Realm's losses under the battle.
Apart from the destruction of the land's environment, there weren't many casualties. This time, the most casualties were the mystical creatures. They were the mystical creatures in the Void. Facts had proven that it was indeed difficult for these ordinary mystical creatures to be of much use against Daoist cultivators who had plucked the best fruits of their labor. Therefore, they could only be used as a distraction.
However, there were many of these creatures in the void. There were fewer of them this time, but they would appear again after a period of time. Moreover, he also sensed that some unexpected and strange things would always appear in the deep Void because of the Great Chaos.
After reading the report, he put it in his sleeve and left the hall. With a thought, he came to the depths of the Clear Sky Boat to meet Chief Attendant Chen.
After the two greeted each other, Zhang Yu said, "As you said before, after this incident, although I can explain to Yuan Xia, she will definitely suspect me. There won't be much trust between us in the future, so we should report each other's lies. Worst case scenario, once the Upper Hall finishes mediating the internal situation, they will take action against me."
Chief Attendant Chen said, "This will happen sooner or later. This time, I have the people of the Gully Realm and their hearts. In the future, I will be able to get help from other realms. Moreover, I have the Chronological Needle, so I don't have to fear a large-scale attack for the time being. Tianxia's power can't be relied on the enemy's mercy. It should be in my hands. "
Zhang Yu nodded in agreement. After obtaining the Chronological Needle, the situation where Yuan Xia could open the passage between the two realms whenever she wanted no longer existed. At least, they had to have some scruples and act carefully. Unless they came in full force and fought Tianxia to the death.
However, this was impossible because it didn't conform to Yuan Xia's established strategy. Yuan Xia's established strategy was hard to go against, just like Yuan Xia's heavenly order. Once it was set, it couldn't be changed.
Another thing was that if Yuan Xia wanted to put all their forces on the line, they had to completely mediate the internal interests. This was even more impossible. Instead of thinking about this, it was more practical to think about how to pluck the Ultimate Dao.
At this moment, the news of Friar He's defeat and the sealing of the passage between the two realms had also reached Yuan Xia. The various ministers had different reactions. One of them said, "Is it a Dao-Guarding Treasure that can cut off the passage between the two realms?"
Another person said with a solemn expression, "It must be a Dao-Guarding Treasure." They used the Dao-Guarding Treasure and some other methods to open the passage between the two realms. Therefore, there was only one answer.
Minister Duan suddenly asked, "Why didn't Chief Attendant Zhang mention this before?"
All the ministers' faces were gloomy. As one of the higher-ups of Tianxia, Zhang Yu didn't mention a word about the use of the Dao-Guarding Treasure. Although the Dao-Guarding Treasure involved the higher-ups, so it wasn't convenient to talk about it, it was always possible to give a hint.
He didn't even give a hint. Either he lost control of Tianxia's situation, or he knew about it but didn't say anything.
Everyone was well aware of what this meant.
However, they couldn't say this out loud now. This involved the general strategy of the Upper Palace. They couldn't overturn it themselves. They had to adjust it themselves.
Moreover, at this time, they had to appease Zhang Yu's side. They had to do their best to create an appearance of cooperation between the two sides, so that the Lower Palace wouldn't know about it.
At this time, Minister Huang said, "How's the situation on the Lower Palace's side? Not to mention the failure of this mission, there were also people from the Lower Palace who were captured. They will definitely not let it go. "
Minister Cai said, "That's easy. Just say that Chief Attendant Zhang has already sent out the necessary information. However, because it involves a high-level artifact, the Chief Attendant didn't understand this hint because of his low cultivation. He missed the timing and didn't deliver it in time. We'll kill him later. That'll be considered an explanation for this matter."
Minister Huang said, "Then if the Lower Palace asks about the use of the Dao-Guarding Treasure and its name? What should I say? As for Chief Attendant Zhang, haha, he might not be able to explain it. If we can't even find out what this artifact is, it'll be hard for us to justify ourselves, right? "
Minister Cai smiled and said, "That's not difficult. This Dao-Guarding Treasure is clearly used to conceal the door between the two realms. You and I can just casually name it."
Isn't it easy to name a magic artifact? If Zhang Yu wasn't willing to say it, Tianxia wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell you what the artifact was called. Then, how will the Lower Palace confirm it? Even if you know that it was a mistake in the end, you can say that the Chief Attendant made a mistake. I was also deceived in the Upper Palace.
If the Lower Palace says that I didn't use the right people, if it weren't for the Lower Palace's indulgence, and the defection last time that caused the platform to explode several times, the Chief Attendant to be injured, and the Chief Attendant to be replaced so frequently, how could such a thing have happened?
In the end, it's all the Lower Palace's problem. The Upper Palace has always been wholeheartedly for Yuanxia!
At this time, Minister Cai looked at everyone and said, "As for that Chief Attendant Zhang, we can't let anything happen on his side before we rearrange the situation internally. This is to prevent the Lower Palace from taking advantage of the situation. However, send someone to tell him that we understand his difficulties, so we have no intention of blaming him. No matter what he thinks, we can stabilize him for the time being. "
At this time, Minister Lan said, "We can ask one more question. Perhaps something unexpected happened. After all, the things he did before, the contributions he made can't be erased."
