When Daoist Yu Su suggested to clear Xuan Fa's name, all of the Court Enforcers present fell silent.
Regarding this matter, everyone actually had different plans and opinions in their hearts.
However, the implications of this matter were not small. As Court Enforcers, they also had to consider the impact this matter would have on Xuanting and even the entire Tianxia.
The long river in front of the Court Enforcers meandered downwards. At this moment, the two Court Enforcers sitting at the end of the river looked at each other. One of them shook his head, while the other sighed softly.
At the second meandering part of the long river, there was a Daoist dressed in sandalwood robes, sitting within a dense ancient tree.
At this moment, he slowly said, "I believe that the implications of this matter are too great. Everyone has different opinions, and this matter cannot be decided in a short period of time. Fortunately, this matter is not urgent. Let's put it aside for now and discuss other matters first."
When these words were spoken, all of the Court Enforcers nodded their heads.
Daoist Yu Su did not continue to harp on this matter. She straightforwardly nodded and said, "Alright, let's discuss this matter later. However, I still have something to say."
He looked at everyone, "Previously, Xuan Zun forced back a million monsters in the outer layer by himself, annihilated three clones of Xuan Zun, and even captured Long Huai in the end, closing the gap in the outer layer. Such an achievement cannot be ignored!"
One of the Court Enforcers spoke out, "Since it's an achievement, why don't we bestow him with a treasure?"
However, Daoist Yu Su raised her brows and said, "How can such a great achievement be discussed with a magic weapon? Zhong Tingzhi, if it was you, would you be convinced? "
That Zhong Tingzhi slowly said, "Just now, Court Enforcer Yu Su said that Xuan Zun forced back the enemies and subdued Long Huai. However, according to what I know, this is not the case.
Zhang Xuan Zun did not fight alone this time, he also had the help of Dai Xuan Zun's Mountain River Ring. Only then did he finally take down Long Huai. He did indeed contribute, but it was not as great as what Yu Suting said. "
Daoist Yu Su sneered. She was about to open her mouth when the Daoist standing at the top of the river, shrouded in light, said, "There's no need to argue over this. Xuan Zun's contribution is great. It's inappropriate to only reward him with magic tools."
He looked at all the court enforcers below and said, "I've read Xuan Zun's past records. He was once the Xuanting Governor of a continent and was also the Xuanting Patrol Officer in the outer region. It was also because of him that Yu Chang was captured. He can be said to be capable and accomplished, and ordinary rewards are not enough to bestow him. Therefore, after thinking about it, why don't we bestow upon him the title of 'Shouzheng'? What do you think, court enforcers?"
As soon as he said this, no one made a sound. Everyone seemed to be thinking about something.
Speaking of which, the title of 'Shouzheng' was given when Tianxia crossed over to this world. Due to the conflicts with many forces in the inner region, a superior cultivator had to step in to pacify them. Shouzheng was the one who specialized in fighting and killing outside.
Because this position was not a permanent position like the court enforcers, it was gradually removed after the inner region was pacified.
Seventy to eighty years ago, when the Turbid Tide came, there were often foreign evil gods and cultivators from Shangchen invading because there were many gaps in the inner and outer regions. At that time, You City betrayed Tianxia and left. In addition to the rise of gods and strange gods in the previous era, all the upper continents were invaded. There were also evil cultivators like Ancestor Yuan Tong who did not side with either side who caused trouble. Therefore, the title of 'Shouzheng' was given again.
Now, as the gap was gradually closed, the mighty figures in the inner region who did not belong to Tianxia were eliminated one by one. No one would take up this position anymore.
However, now that he thought about it, this position was extremely suitable for Zhang Yu. He had been promoted from Xuanzheng to Patrol Protector, and all he did was to protect Tianxia's order.
Now that the door to the inner and outer regions had been forcefully opened, the Turbid Tide was about to rise again. This would definitely awaken some sleeping EsGod monsters, and it was very likely that it would cause more gaps to appear. At that time, there might be evil gods invading from the outside. They indeed needed a person with outstanding combat ability to defend.
And the benefits that such a position brought were enough to repay the merit. Moreover, because Shouzheng was not a permanent position, he could find an excuse to leave whenever he felt that it was inappropriate.
However, although that was the case, no one could see the pros and cons clearly. They were all weighing it, so no one said anything for a while.
When the leading Daoist saw this, he said, "This matter is also somewhat related. Why don't you think about it? Let's talk about other matters first."
Daoist Yu Su did not say anything else and returned to the tea tree.
Just as he sat down, the sound of a jade chime could be heard. Everyone looked over and saw a Daoist surrounded by auspicious clouds, accompanied by an immortal crane and a spirit phoenix.
The leading Daoist said, "Do you have any suggestions, Daoist Chong?"
Daoist Chong bowed to everyone and said, "Yuhang Xuan Zun has been in the upper regions for several months. He intends to take up a position in Xuanting. I think that we can find a position for him."
The leading Daoist said, "Now that there are thirteen upper continents in Tianxia and twenty-eight constellations, only one Xuan Zun in Yujing can return to Xuanting within two years. If Yuhang Xuan Zun is willing, he can go and guard Yujing in advance."
A Daoist Chong questioned, "The guard of Yujing needs to guard the crack and fight against Shangchen, You City, and even the evil gods. This is even more difficult than being the head of the continents. Can Yuhang Xuan Zun be up to the task?"
Daoist Chong said, "Yuhang Xuan Zun has been imparted with Daoist techniques. When I, Tianxia, entered this world, I have made many contributions. After that, I cultivated diligently for more than three hundred years and obtained two yuan. My skills are profound and my foundation is solid. I have no problem taking over this position."
The Daoist Chong who spoke first said, "If that's the case, I have no more questions."
The leading Daoist said, "What do you think, Daoist Chong?"
The Daoist Chong picked up the jade mallet in front of him and gently knocked on the jade chime. A clear sound was heard and the matter was considered to have passed.
The leading Daoist Chong waited for a while. When he saw that no one else spoke, he said, "Since you have nothing else to say, then let's talk about Long Huai's breakthrough."
When the Daoist Chong heard this, their expressions became more serious. They all knew that the matter at hand was the most important.
Not only did it involve Shangchen and You City, it also involved many of their own Xuan Zun. The matter was almost difficult to resolve.
In reality, Xuanting had already realized that something was wrong. Otherwise, he would not have secretly bestowed the Mountain River Ring and Xuan Zun. Other than that, he had also made certain arrangements and precautions.
However, at that time, he estimated that this was done by a few immoral cultivators in private. He did not expect that even Daoist Long, a True Cultivator, was involved. Moreover, it seemed that he was not the only one behind this.
The external enemies were easy to deal with, but the internal situation was different. If they did not handle it well, it would cause a commotion.
The leading Daoist Chong looked at a Daoist with a fishtail crown sitting at the third winding of the river and said, "Daoist Chong, is there a result on Long Huai's side?"
Daoist Chong could tell that Daoist Chong was an extremely serious and inflexible person. The place where he sat was a precipitous cliff with a firm rock peak. His expression was solemn as well.
He stood up and said in a low voice, "Court Enforcers, I've verified that before Long Huai left, he'd inscribed his memories onto a slate and tried to send it somewhere else. Moreover, before he left, he'd utilized the profundity of 'Resurrection' to make himself forget many of his memories.
He had long since made an agreement with someone. If he succeeded, then he would take back the stone slab and retrieve his memories. If he failed, then he would have long since forgotten these things. As such, we will not be able to find anything from him for the time being. "
Daoist Yu Su thought for a moment. If a cultivator erased their own memories, then they could still think of a way to find it. However, Long Huai still used the 'Resurrection' mystery.
Unless …
Daoist Zhong said at this moment, "Why don't we push Long Huai into the 'Heart Examining Sand River'? I think we can get an answer …" When he said this, all the court enforcers frowned.
The Daoist at the head of the table pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Long Huai colluded with external enemies this time with the intention of opening the gap between the inner and outer layers. With the crimes he committed, it is not excessive to sentence him to death, but it is not to the extent of using the 'Heart Examining Sand River'."
He looked down and said, "Daoist Wu, what else do you have? Please continue."
Daoist Chong nodded and continued, "There are currently two people who are related to Long Huai that can be investigated. One of them is the original guardian of the Eastern Dome's Heavenly Tail Mansion, Gan Bai. When Long Huai was captured, Gan Bai did not care about the invasion of evil from the void and immediately fled to the outer layer with his true body. He is suspected to have joined Shangchen.
The other person is the Xuan Zun Zhu Guan who has been cultivating in seclusion on Mount Fubo all year round. When Long Huai went to the inner layer, he once met this person. I suspect that this person is the one who received the stone slab. However, he is currently hiding outside the Clear Sky Magnetic Field and has already disappeared. "
The head Daoist said, "Gan Bai fled to the outer layer and it will be difficult to find him. Since Zhu Guan is still in the upper layer, we will need to send someone to retrieve him."
He paused for a moment and said, "Who do you think can do this, Daoist Chong?"
The Daoist Chong started to ponder. Zhu Guan had been cultivating for a long time and his skills were not weak. Since he dared to hide outside the Magnetic Field, he must have some tricks up his sleeves. He was not an easy person to deal with.
The key was to capture him alive. This was not easy. If something went wrong, the people they sent might die inside.
At this moment, a Daoist in green who was sitting on the high platform of Water Luster picked up a jade mallet and lightly knocked on the jade chime on the table. When everyone looked over, he stood up and said, "I have something to say."
The head Daoist saw that it was him and said politely, "I wonder if Zhu Tingzhi has anything to say?"
Zhu Tingzhi said, "Head Daoist Chong mentioned that you can appoint Xuan Zun as Shouzheng. I think this matter is settled and the matter of hunting down Zhu Guan can be handed over to Xuan Zun."
Chong Tingzhi did not say anything. He only picked up the jade chime in front of him and lightly knocked on it.
The other two Daoist Chong at the end of the long river looked at him and similarly picked up the jade chime to knock on it. Behind them, the sound of the jade chime rang out one after another. The sound lingered for a long time.
The head Daoist Chong could not help but look at Daoist Yu Su. She was the only one who had yet to express her opinion.
However, at this point, the matter had already been decided. According to the rules of Xuanting, only three Daoist Chong could reject the decision of the court.
Daoist Yu Su pondered for a moment and flicked her finger. The jade chime in front of her also sounded.
The head Daoist Chong nodded. He also picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime. Following the sound that lingered for a long time, the matter was settled.
