Yuan Xia, the Yuan Hall, on the platform of the lower hall.
Riding on Qing Hongyu's light rainbow, Sheng Zheng's external body returned to the platform in the hall.
He stood there for a moment, then turned into a ray of light and fell into his main body in the depths of the hall. The wisp of qi that was embedded in it also returned.
At this moment, he frowned. He knew that the black-gold fortress was breached, but he did not know how it was breached. So he felt that it had inexplicably collapsed.
But this situation could only be explained by the treasure of Dao. Otherwise, it would not have affected him so much.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain this battle to the Yuan Hall, a disciple walked in from outside, bowed to him, and said, "Minister Sheng, Minister Quan invites you."
Sheng Zheng said, "I will be there in a moment."
After the disciple bowed, he retreated. He remained where he was, thinking for a while, before he moved to the main hall.
When he entered the hall, Minister Quan was sitting on a rock, his clothes fluttering like clouds. His aura was in harmony with the mysteries of heaven, as if he was one with heaven and earth. He came up and bowed, and said, "Minister Quan."
Minister Quan nodded, and asked, "What happened?"
Sheng Zheng did not hide anything, and described the specific situation in detail. He explained, "This loss was because Tianxia was stronger than me. It was not my fault."
Minister Quan said, "I believe you. Some people seemed to want to denounce you, but I blocked them. "
Sheng Zheng said coldly, "This time, I asked for people and items from the rear. In the end, I was only given a treasure weapon. I even found an excuse to delay for a long time, so that I missed the crucial opportunity."
Minister Quan said, "From what you said, it was indeed not your fault. Tianxia's strength was stronger than the people you sent this time. As for the Upper Hall, I will negotiate with them. As long as the Great Ministers do not speak, everything will be fine. You do not have to worry. "
Sheng Zheng said, "I am not worried about this. If the Upper Hall feels that the Lower Hall did not do well, you can try to fight it yourself."
Quan Si said, "Do you think the Upper Hall alone can take them down?"
Sheng Zheng said coldly, "Tianxia's ability this time is beyond my expectations. Moreover, I suspect that they have not used their full strength. Tianxia is indeed a great enemy that I have never seen before. If Your Highness can't do it, then neither can Your Highness."
Minister Quan nodded and said slowly, "You came back alone this time, but you still need to give the other ministers a proper explanation."
Although he had only lost a few, but the ministers had been directly abandoned by him, so they would definitely be dissatisfied. Especially when the news reached the ministers, they would definitely be resentful. Not only had they been used as bait, they had also been defeated in an extremely humiliating manner. However, His Highness still had to maintain a peaceful appearance on the surface, so there had to be an explanation.
Sheng Zheng said, "I will give them a suitable explanation."
Quan Si said, "After this matter is dealt with, don't go anywhere. If anyone comes to ask you anything, you don't have to say anything. I will deal with everything."
Sheng Zheng said.
Although he knew that with the guarantee of Minister Quan, he might be able to pass this time, but his position was still unstable. According to the original arrangement, once Minister Quan became the Grand Minister, he would be the person in charge of His Highness. However, after this defeat, his prestige would definitely be greatly damaged. He would have to put in a lot of effort to make up for it.
On Tianxia's side, after Sheng Zheng retreated, the remaining Yuan Xia people were all wiped out. All the Dao Guarding Treasures that were originally hovering in the sky also retreated together.
Without the intervention of external forces, the Door of the Two Worlds was closed again.
Tianxia used a few more days to clean up the entire void, completely eliminating the many traces left behind by Yuan Xia's arrival. Chief Administrator Chen then gathered all the ministers for a post-battle discussion.
Chief Administrator Chen waited for all the ministers to gather and said, "Although we won this battle, everyone, don't slack off. What we defeated this time was only one of Yuan Xia's forces. Yuan Xia will definitely come again after some adjustments, and it will definitely be more powerful than this time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we should deal with this battle and the aftermath?"
This was the first time they had engaged in a large-scale battle with Yuan Xia. Many of the arrangements were unreasonable and needed to be adjusted. Hence, the various tingzhi suggested improvements.
Daoist Yu Su said, "Although Yuan Xia lost, this person used an external body. Moreover, I can't attack Yuan Xia's territory. Even if they lose a few times, they will only lose some material resources and not suffer any losses. If this situation is not changed, we will never be able to defeat Yuan Xia."
Zhong Tingzhi said, "Although this is the case, we can't be too hasty. It is precisely because Yuan Xia has an external body that they can't unite to attack me. This is because they boast that they are invincible. If they can't use their external body, will they still do so? Perhaps they will gather an unprecedented force to attack me. "
He looked at Zhang Tingzhi and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, you have a good understanding of Yuan Xia. What do you think about this?"
Zhang Yu said, "Before I take over, there are only two things I need to do. First, I need to set up a barrier between the two worlds and find a way to disrupt it so that Yuanxia won't be able to find me anytime, anywhere. Second, it is the external body. It is necessary to restrain the external body, otherwise, we won't be able to attack Yuan Xia.
As Zhong Tingzhi said, it is also necessary to stall for time. Therefore, we need to have the ability to restrain the external body. As for when to use it, it is up to us to decide. If not, I, Tianxia, will always be passive when facing Yuan Xia. "
Chief Administrator Chen looked to the side and said, "Zhangsun Tingzhi, most of Tianxia's external body was created by you. In your opinion, how should we deal with such methods?"
Zhangsun Tingzhi said, "The key to the external body is the aura. Even if it is separated from the main body, it can still be used. Therefore, it is difficult to implicate the main body with various methods. However, Zhangsun thinks that there is a method that might work, and that is to use incantations. "
"Incantations …"
Zhu Tingzhi pondered. This was indeed an idea because incantations didn't care whether you were in the main body or the external body. As long as it attacked your aura, it was equivalent to attacking you.
Dai Tingzhi said, "So it turns out that Shangchen's Lu Xingjie's Dao lineage seems to be good at such methods."
Zhu Tingzhi said, "Then, we can try to explore this lineage and try to find a method to restrain it."
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and looked up at Chief Administrator Chen, "Incantations alone aren't enough. Yuanxia has its own self-created heavenly order to protect it. As long as these people hide in Yuanxia, even incantations might not be able to hurt them. However, this heavenly order still has flaws and is still incomplete. This is something that can be exploited."
Chief Administrator Chen understood what he meant. It was precisely because Yuanxia's heavenly order had flaws that couldn't be combined with the heavenly order. Therefore, every year, there would be a moment of loophole. Xun Ji could use this point to transmit information to them without being discovered.
Zhang Yu said, "This flaw is something that Yuanxia can't solve at the moment because the ultimate dao isn't in their hands yet. They can't use their own dao to replace the heavenly dao. However, if we take advantage of this loophole to launch an attack, we can avoid the maintenance of the heavenly order and deal a serious blow to it."
Deng Jingzhi said, "What Zhang Tingzhi said is indeed a method. Everyone, could this be the reason why Yuanxia always attacks me at a fixed time?"
The court administrators thought for a moment and felt that it was possible. Because the attacking party always took the initiative, Yuanxia knew their own flaws, so they took the initiative to attack and forced the enemy to be unable to break through their defense. This way, they wouldn't be able to pose a threat to them.
This method was very useful because Yuanxia's forces had always had the advantage. Once they made the first move, the attacked party would almost never be able to launch a counterattack. Even Tianxia could only wait cautiously and use various conditions to try to find an opportunity.
Wei Tingzhi said, "Listening to Deng Tingzhi, this is indeed the case. From Yuanxia's calendar, whether it's attacking or retreating, this person avoids the gap between Yuanxia's annual cycle."
Zhu Tingzhi nodded subconsciously, feeling that he had found the right direction. They all knew very well that the more the enemy wanted to avoid something, the more likely it was to be exploited. This might really be a flaw.
Deng Jingzhi said, "If Yuanxia comes next time, if we have the means to implicate the main body through the external body, we can take advantage of the gap between the cycles to suddenly launch an attack. We might be able to severely injure Yuanxia, but the timing has to be chosen well."
Hearing his words, the court administrators thought of another possibility. With such an opportunity, they might be able to take the opportunity to attack Yuanxia's territory. Of course, this was impossible now, but it could only be used as a temporary idea.
Wu Tingzhi said in a deep voice, "This might be a way, but I, Tianxia, can't put all my eggs in one basket. We have to try our best to find other ways to suppress the external body."
Zhu Tingzhi expressed his agreement. This was because even if Yuanxia had this flaw, they could only use it for one day every year. Perhaps it was only for an instant, but the restriction was too great. They had to have other methods as backup.
Chief Enforcer Chen knew that this matter was difficult to solve by themselves, so he said in a deep voice, "I will discuss this matter with the other court administrators later."
At this moment, Chao Tingzhi said, "I have to remind everyone that while we are looking for Yuanxia's flaw, Yuanxia will also look for our flaw. You have to know that we are also using external bodies, and we don't have Yuanxia's heavenly sequence to protect us. Therefore, we have to be prepared. "
The court administrators looked solemn.
After this battle, it was obvious that the importance of external bodies was self-evident. If they didn't have external bodies, they would have to use their clones or their main bodies to fight against Yuanxia's external body.
This was an extremely disadvantageous situation, and they wouldn't be able to outlast Yuanxia.
Therefore, while they were looking for Yuanxia's flaw, they had to perfect their techniques so that Yuanxia couldn't use them to break this technique.
Zhang Yu raised his eyes and looked beyond the void. Without a doubt, this was a battle of restriction and counterattack. It was a battle of top-level magical weapons, dao techniques, and even more so a battle of manpower and material resources. Any deficiency in any of these aspects could become a fatal flaw.
Fortunately, Tianxia wasn't without advantages. Under Yuanxia's suppression, he was trying to catch up and make up for it. Just like a cultivator, when he made up for his shortcomings, he would have the ability to counterattack.
