Although Sheng Zheng and Bureau Head Duan wanted to join the fray, Tianxia's ability to kill even his main body was truly frightening.
If they were to join the fray with their external bodies, they would naturally be fearless. But now, they were hesitant and did not dare to move.
The two of them were silent for a while. Seeing that neither of them moved, Bureau Head Duan said, "If we really can't hold on, why don't we do what we did before and take a step back first? Retreat to the rear and come back after some rest. In any case, we have enough savings and are still abundant. Even if we are lacking, we can ask for more from the rear. "
Although the two halls no longer supported the Dao Stabilizing Treasures, they could still transfer some manpower and resources that were purely expendable. After all, this was the general strategy of the two halls. If they were not even willing to provide these, they would have a reason to retreat.
Sheng Zheng's gaze swept back and forth. He saw that although many parts of the stronghold's exterior had been breached, it could still be maintained temporarily. He said, "If we retreat now, can we still come back? Our Dao Stabilizing Treasures can only maintain a stalemate with Tianxia. Now that we have lost four people, even if we can avoid them for a while, do you think we can suppress them? "
Bureau Head Duan advised, "Taking a step back is not a difficult matter. Although Tianxia's attack this time is fierce, it should only be temporary. I don't believe it can be maintained for long. There is nothing wrong with temporarily avoiding them."
He said this very matter-of-factly. In any case, they had already retreated once. It was no big deal to retreat again.
Sheng Zheng considered it. From a tactical point of view, Tianxia's momentum was at its peak. It was indeed not a good time to clash head-on with him.
Moreover, he was not willing to go out and fight with Tianxia's people. Because he did not know if that was a method unique to Zhang Yu or if Tianxia's people all knew how to use it. He even suspected that it might be a unique Dao Stabilizing Treasure.
Since he was not willing to go down himself and did not want to see the stronghold collapse, then there was only this path that Bureau Head Duan had suggested.
Therefore, he compromised and said, "Let's retreat."
Bureau Head Duan also relaxed slightly. He was afraid that Sheng Zheng would force them to stay. If that happened, it would be difficult to handle. After the two of them reached an agreement, they once again issued the order for a full retreat.
Zhang Yu was currently riding a flying boat towards the Dark Gold Fortress. Under the protection of the Cymbidium Lucidum and the golden sand, all obstacles along the way were repelled.
In Xuntian Dao Zhang, Feng Tingzhi sent a message over, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, with our attacks, it won't take long for us to break through this place. This person should have come out to meet us, but he's not moving at all. It seems like he's been intimidated by Fellow Daoist Zhang's methods and doesn't dare to come out to fight us."
Zhang Yu said, "Zhong Tingzhi once said that this person has been using an external body for a long time and often relies on it. If he doesn't have an external body to protect him, it will be difficult for him to make a decision at a critical moment. His words hit the nail on the head."
Feng Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "If this person doesn't want to fight, will he retreat like last time, just like the judgment of the various court enforcers?"
Just as Zhang Yu was about to answer, he saw that the entire black-gold fortress was slowly moving backwards. He said, "It seems so."
At this time, Chief Enforcer Chen and the rest of the enforcers also saw this scene.
Wei Tingzhi took two steps forward and looked back. "Chief Enforcer, it seems that Yuan Xia is intimidated by Zhang Tingzhi and doesn't dare to come out to fight us. He's prepared to use the same trick again."
Chief Enforcer Chen said in a deep voice, "Since he chose to retreat, then we'll act according to the plan."
Before they officially launched the counterattack, they had arranged many strategies to deal with Yuan Xia's possible reactions. If Yuan Xia stayed to fight, they would naturally maintain the original situation. If Yuan Xia retreated, they would naturally have a backup plan to deal with Yuan Xia's retreat.
Although the Dark Gold Fortress was huge, it wasn't slow at all when retreating. In just a few words, it had already left the Tianxia Sky Territory.
Chief Enforcer Chen raised his hand and made a hand seal. The "Du Que Instrument" floating in the Void Territory was suddenly activated. It sealed off the territory and directly sealed off the passage between the two worlds, cutting off Yuan Xia's path of retreat. It seemed like Yuan Xia was trapped inside.
Once the passage was sealed, even the enemy's contact with Yuan Xia was cut off.
At this moment, the power of Yuan Xia's Dao Treasure, "Immortals Crossing", was blocked by the power of the "Du Que Instrument". This was equivalent to relying on the latter to temporarily move Tianxia Sky Territory forward.
However, this move couldn't last long. If this treasure was used normally, it could block Yuan Xia for a few months, but now it could only last for a few days.
Therefore, if Tianxia wanted to obtain results, they could only try their best to gain something during this period of time.
When Sheng and Duan saw that their path of retreat was sealed, they didn't panic. They had already expected this possibility and left some people behind to provide support. At this moment, the people behind them would naturally find a way to open a path for them.
Even if the people receiving them couldn't do it themselves, they would send a message to Yuan Xia and ask the two palaces to find a way to help. Although they couldn't get more support from there, the support they should have from Yuan Xia would not be reduced.
The two of them calculated that they would be able to break out of the encirclement within three days. Under normal circumstances, they would be able to hold on for three days. However, since Tian Xia had decided to do so, she must have a certain degree of confidence. Therefore, they were very cautious and made some arrangements. They only hoped to hold on for three days.
Zhang Yu's flying boat had already arrived in front of the Dark Gold Rampart. He didn't stop at all and pushed the flying boat towards the Dark Gold Rampart. With a loud bang, the boat crashed into the thick rampart.
However, as soon as he entered, a beam of golden light suddenly shone toward him, illuminating his surroundings down to the tiniest detail. However, he didn't stop in the slightest. After sweeping his gaze around, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the depths of the barrier above.
At this moment, Minister Duan's expression sank and said, "Minister Sheng, this person's external body is different from the previous one. The golden light can't penetrate it. It seems like Minister Duan and the others lost their chance because of this."
Sheng Zheng stared at Zhang Yu's ray of light coming towards them and said coldly, "Since this person dares to come, let's grant him his wish."
Minister Duan looked ahead and frowned. "There's more than one."
This time, Tianxia launched a battle of annihilation. On the surface, almost all the forces that could be mobilized were mobilized. Zhang Yu was only the first Tianxia cultivator to rush into the Dark Gold Rampart. After him, Lin Tingzhi, Daoist You, Wu Tingzhi and the others also rushed into the Dark Gold Rampart on the flying boat.
Every one of them carried Cymbidium Lucidum and was protected by You City's golden sand, which rejected the power of the Negative Sky Diagram.
Minister Duan and Minister Sheng knew that there were definitely more people on Tianxia's side who wanted the complete dao technique. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control those Dao Guarding Treasures so freely. Looking at Tianxia's attitude, it seemed that he wanted to wipe them all out here. Perhaps more people would come later.
The two of them didn't dare to be negligent and immediately ordered the remaining people who wanted the complete dao technique to stop Wu Tingzhi and the others.
As for Zhang Yu, it seemed that they were the only ones who could deal with him. However, in view of the fate of the four ministers, they didn't dare to rush forward.
Minister Duan frowned. "If this person can implicate the main body, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with him …"
Sheng Zheng said, "We can't retreat now."
Minister Duan's mind turned. It might not be that they couldn't retreat. Actually, there was another way. However, he didn't say it out loud and kept it in his heart. He said, "Why don't we let Xu She Guan stop them? If we're lucky, we might be able to get rid of this person. "
Sheng Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay." She said to the outside, "Call Xu Shangzhen in."
After a while, a middle-aged cultivator who looked to be in his fifties walked in. This person looked like a taciturn person with no expression on his face. He came in and bowed to the two of them. He said calmly, "Ministers, are you looking for me?"
Sheng Zheng said, "Xu Shangzhen, there's a person coming from here. I order you to stop him."
Daoist Xu was an otherworldly cultivator. It was only because of his special mantra that he was kept by the two of them. He wasn't clear about the matter of summoning the ministers.
Now, they just wanted him to stop the enemy. It seemed very normal. Therefore, once the order was given, he didn't hesitate to accept the order. He turned and walked out of the room. He went straight to where Zhang Yu was.
His fundamental mantra was "One Life in One's Palace". As long as he was involved with the enemy's Qi to a certain extent, it couldn't be separated. Once he died, the enemy would also die.
Of course, he was only in his external body now. The enemy would only be in his external body.
Generally speaking, as long as their mana clashed, he would be able to take the opponent's Qi. Not only that, even if someone took his Qi and killed him, he could still use his fundamental mantra.
This Dao Technique was used to deter enemies. As long as he appeared, everyone would feel a strong sense of threat. Therefore, when he used this Dao Technique, the enemies would usually retreat after noticing it.
Following his arrival, a strong sense of warning spread in all directions.
Wu Tingzhi, Lin Tingzhi and the others had already arrived in the stronghold. Their expressions were slightly stern. This was because they could feel the strong sense of threat from the owner of this Qi. This feeling went straight into their hearts and made them stop.
As Zhang Yu had killed his way into the dark gold stronghold last time, the structure of the stronghold was no different from the last time. Therefore, he was very familiar with the path. He went straight to the center of the stronghold. Although there were many formations blocking his way, he used his fundamental mantra. As clear Qi spread, he destroyed the formations layer by layer.
Not to mention, he had the protection of the Dao Stabilizing Treasure. Without a cultivator of the same level who could control the power of the Dao Stabilizing Treasure, it was basically impossible to stop him.
Along the way, he didn't encounter any obstacles.
At this moment, he also felt a Qi coming towards him. Moreover, it brought him a strong sense of warning. This sense of warning wasn't born from him. Instead, it was released by the enemy. However, if there wasn't a certain level of threat, it wouldn't have resonated with his senses.
He knew that this person definitely had some tricks up his sleeve. However, he didn't care too much. He just raised his sleeve and grabbed the Cicada Cry Sword. Then, he slashed forward from afar!
