When Minister Ming heard Minister Lan's words, he couldn't help but be dissatisfied. "What does Minister Lan mean? Based on my understanding of Minister Sheng, he would never run away from battle. His Dao does not support this. "
Minister Lan said slowly, "Then how do you explain that Minister Sheng died first, and then Minister Duan?"
Minister Ming retorted, "Who knows what the situation was at that time? Also, is there any meaning in arguing about who died first? I see that there is not much difference between the two who returned first. How do you come to the conclusion that they ran away from battle? Also, shouldn't we first investigate the reason for their deaths? "
Minister Lan did not argue with him. He thought to himself, Of course there is meaning. This time, we can push the main blame onto your Highness.
However, this time, because the two Halls had sent people together, the Upper Hall could not escape. Fortunately, the people who died were their own people. There was still room for maneuvering in how to explain this to the outside.
He said, "Minister Ming said to investigate the reason. I have already sent people to ask. The specific situation should be sent over soon."
The people sent by Minister Lan moved quickly. Not long after they came out of the Secret Palace, they organized the situation of the people who returned and presented it.
Minister Lan took it and flipped through it. What was written inside was the last period of Tianxia's large-scale counterattack. This was very detailed, but this was the extent of what he knew.
Because the moment "Zhu Xian's Crossing" was cut off by "Du Que Yi," because of the connection between qi and will, they did not know what had happened.
Zhang Yu's Sword of Zhu Xian's Sword of Zhu Xian, Minister Duan and Minister Sheng were not clear about it. Also, it was easy to shake the morale of the army. Naturally, they would not tell anyone, so they knew nothing about this.
After Minister Lan read it, he handed it to Minister Ming. The latter read it and said with a frown, "It's all things that we knew before."
Minister Lan said, "That means the situation has not changed much. The person and thing that caused the problem is still the same."
Minister Ming glanced at him and said, "I thought that Minister Lan would avoid talking about that person."
Minister Lan slowly said, "Minister Ming, what taboo does this Lan have?"
In his heart, he was thinking that even if he didn't mention it, the Hall would still mention that person after the incident. So, he might as well take the initiative to bring it up and show that he had a clear conscience. Besides, the Hall already had a name. The person who was involved with Zhang Yu that day was Advisor Cai, who had already died in battle. What did that have to do with him?
At this time, they heard the sound of a large bell. The two of them looked over. Minister Lan said, "His Highness is calling for us. Minister Ming, since the matter here is more or less settled, we should hurry over."
The two of them walked along the path of the array. Not long after, they arrived under a light screen. On top of a green jade lotus seat, the committee members of both the upper and lower halls were present. However, there was a clear separation between the two halls. Each side had more than ten committee members.
The Upper Hall was led by Minister Guo, while the Lower Hall was led by Minister Quan. At this moment, the atmosphere was very serious.
This time, there were almost seven people who sought to perfect their Dao techniques. It could be said to be a great defeat. The defeat was secondary. It wasn't that Yuan Xia had never encountered such a situation before. However, ever since they started conquering the worlds, there had never been so many people who sought to perfect their Dao techniques.
Even in the most tragic battle back then, it wasn't to this extent. Moreover, most of the time, they only lost some of their external bodies.
One had to know that there were only a few people in Yuan Xia who sought to perfect their Dao techniques. These people were either accumulated by Yuan Xia over the years or were recruited when the world was destroyed.
This was because it was very difficult for these cultivators to become successful. If one of them was lost, it wouldn't be replenished even after thousands of years. This also meant that in thousands of years, this number would only decrease and not increase.
Moreover, most of the people who were lost this time were cultivators from the Hall of Yuan Xia. This meant that the power struggle between them and the Dao of the various worlds would be significantly weakened.
At the scene, Minister Lan and Minister Ming handed over the report. After everyone read it, Daoist Wan spoke first, "The reason why we suffered such a great loss this time is because Tianxia has the ability to kill the main body. Currently, we don't know what method Tianxia used, but it should have something to do with that Envoy Zhang. "
A minister asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't this method be performed with the help of the Dao Guarding Treasure?"
Daoist Wan said, "The Dao Guarding Treasure needs to be performed by the master. However, when the Dao Guarding Treasure is used, there must be some movement. Previously, Minister Sheng and Minister Duan didn't sense anything. Therefore, I am inclined to believe that this is a personal method. Although it seems unbelievable, it might be possible. We have encountered similar methods in the past, so the external bodies have been constantly changing."
Another minister said, "But that only affects the main body. I have never seen anyone who can kill the main body."
At this time, Upper Palace Advisor Xing raised his eyelids, giving Advisor Lan a look, saying, "This Xing said a long time ago that High Envoy Zhang cannot be trusted, but back then …"
Daoist Wan interrupted him, "Alright, let's not talk about what happened back then. Now, let's talk about what's in front of us. We haven't figured out the situation yet, so let's not jump to conclusions."
A minister beside Minister Quan chuckled and said, "Minister Wan is right. Now is not the time for us to argue. All the World Dao is watching us now, waiting for the result this time. We can't just tell them the result. We need our two palaces to come up with a plan."
He raised his head and looked at the other side, saying, "Everyone, our two palaces do have many conflicts, but in this matter, our interests are aligned. If there are any disputes, let's settle them after this matter is settled."
Everyone looked at him and silently agreed with his words. It was true. The two palaces had suffered great losses. If they fought among themselves now, it would only benefit the World Dao.
Minister Guo looked at the minister who spoke and said, "This must be Minister Xiang. I have long heard that Your Highness has two talents. One is Minister Sheng, and the other is Minister Xiang. As expected, you understand the big picture."
Minister Xiang smiled at him and returned the greeting, saying, "Minister Xiang, you flatter me."
After Minister Guo finished speaking, he looked at Minister Quan and nodded slightly. Then he said, "In this battle, because the Guardian Treasure was destroyed, it caused me to be at a disadvantage. The two ministers wanted to overcome the obstacles and fight to the end. But they didn't expect Tianxia to have a way to kill the main body. Duan and Sheng were caught off guard and died.
But the two of you were especially brave. At the crucial moment, you covered the retreat of the others and also caused great damage to Tianxia. That was why we met with such an ending. But this method is not desirable. Moreover, this is a defeat, so it can be said that the merits offset the faults. "
Minister Quan also said, "Previously, I asked the World Dao for weapons and manpower. However, the World Dao repeatedly refused and refused to provide support. They also urged us to attack quickly. That was why we were defeated. We should learn from this lesson. Next time, if we don't do our homework, we shouldn't act rashly."
Minister Xiang sighed and said, "The two ministers are right. In this battle, if Minister Sheng and Minister Duan had brought one more weapon, the result would have been very different. Can you imagine that when we went to battle, we couldn't beat the other side in terms of Guardian Treasures?
If the World Dao could be united with the Yuan Hall and not be narrow-minded and biased, how could there be such a result? I really feel sorry for Minister Sheng and Minister Duan who fought to the death. "
Minister Wan lowered his eyes and said, "It is indeed a pity. I heard that Minister Sheng is the right hand of Minister Quan. If Minister Quan is promoted, he should be in charge of His Highness."
Minister Xiang looked at him and smiled. He said, "Minister Duan has always been in charge of communicating with His Highness. I wonder who he will be in charge of in the future?" He looked at Minister Lan and said, "I heard it will be Minister Lan? This position is not easy to sit in. "
Minister Wan looked at him and said, "We will discuss this later. It is rare for two halls to be here. The most important thing for me now is to discuss how to deal with Tianxia."
At Tianxia's side, in the Black Gold Fortress, all the Yuanxia cultivators who came to invade had been eliminated. The cultivators of Tianxia completely occupied this place. This was undoubtedly a great victory. If exaggerating, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a battle of annihilation.
When Zhang Yu walked out of the Black Gold Fortress, Feng Tingzhi was waiting for him on the flying carriage. When he saw him, he was slightly excited. He said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this time you have killed seven Yuanxia cultivators who wanted to complete their Dao. You are so mighty, I am full of admiration!"
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "This is not something that I can do alone."
He was not being humble. If it was not for the Xuanting cultivators and the cultivators of the various Daoist factions restraining that Dao Guarding Treasure, even if he killed his way in, it would be useless. He believed that he was the one who delivered the final blow. Although it was very important, this battle was a battle that required cooperation from top to bottom. It would not work if anyone was missing.
Feng Tingzhi also shook his head and said seriously, "Zhang Tingzhi is too humble. Chief Minister Chen said that Zhang Tingzhi's method is to kill the main body through the external body. If this is the case, it is a true great victory. It will definitely make Yuanxia's heart ache. This person has suffered such heavy injuries. I can take a breather and have a good rest."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "That might be the case."
Feng Tingzhi saw his attitude and couldn't help but become serious. He asked, "Fellow daoist, could there be other variables?"
Zhang Yu said, "This will depend on what Yuanxia chooses. If Yuanxia can coordinate well internally, or if they truly look at us seriously, then they should be able to see that although our Tianxia has beaten them back once, our losses will definitely not be small. If they do not care about casualties and continue to send people to suppress us, they can continuously exhaust us and not let us recover. If this continues, then it will be a dangerous situation for our Tianxia."
Feng Tingzhi's expression became serious. Tianxia's foundation was not as good as Yuanxia's, this was something that everyone knew. Yuanxia was also very clear about this. If Yuanxia really did adopt this strategy, then it would really be difficult to deal with.
This was relying on the accumulation of strength, there was almost no way to use tricks. Moreover, Yuanxia actually did not need to fight them face to face. If they saw that the situation was not good, they could directly kill themselves and come back later. They did not even need to send people with complete Daoist techniques to continuously attack and harass them.
He took a deep breath and said, "Fellow daoist Zhang, it seems that we still can't relax."
Zhang Yu looked towards the depths of the void and said, "Yes. Therefore, at this time, not only can we not retreat, we have to advance!"
