Chao Tingzhi saw that Daoist Zhong had repeatedly avoided his question. He smiled playfully and did not pursue the matter. After all, he had already said what he wanted to say.
The chief Daoist did not immediately respond to Daoist Zhong's suggestion. He looked below the long river of light and Qi and said, "Why don't all the court deacons say something."
Chen Tingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Zhengqing's lineage has been outside for more than three hundred years. Indeed, we cannot pin all the blame on them. However, Zhengqing's lineage has also done something wrong. Letting them prove their innocence is also a solution."
Daoist Zhong said, "Chen Tingzhi is right. The Xuanting had also investigated Zhengqing's matter thoroughly. However, it was difficult to root it out because there were always people who used his name to do things in private. There were quite a number of cultivators who were convinced and were bewitched to follow him. If we let Zhengqing's lineage investigate it thoroughly, we will be able to root this matter out."
Wu Qingxu said in a low voice, "That still depends on whether Zhengqing's lineage is truly remorseful. If they are willing to give up their original words and clarify this matter in the Xuanting, we can let them return and contribute to our Tianxia."
Daoist Yu Su only smiled coldly at this and did not say anything more.
Dai Gonghan sat there silently. Everyone knew that the matter of Zhengqing's lineage back then was a battle of Dao intent. It was not something that could be forgiven verbally.
He could see that Daoist Zhong wanted to welcome Zhengqing's lineage back. The chief Daoist probably had the same intention. As for the purpose, it was obvious.
Previously, when the court discussed the matter of Yi Luo's upper continent, they refuted many of the Xuan Zun's suggestions. However, after the suppression, there should be some consolation. Therefore, welcoming Zhengqing back was to calm the hearts of the people of this generation.
Logically speaking, this matter was not wrong. Therefore, it was not easy to object to this matter.
The chief Daoist did not let the court decide this time. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way first. Let Zhengqing's lineage redeem themselves first. When he solves the matter, then we will discuss the matter of removing the charges."
Daoist Zhong heard this and his heart was set.
Although the chief did not go through the court and it seemed that he deliberately left a gap, as long as Zhengqing's lineage could return, things would be much easier to handle. They could think of ways to move forward step by step in the future.
After this matter was settled, there was nothing else to do. The court officials bowed towards the river of light and qi and returned to their respective dao palaces amidst the sound of jade chimes.
............. to Zhang............ and Daoist.. to the chief..... to. to the chief to to Zhang,..... and... and....... and. tell tell, things.. tell........

.. Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "If Zhengqing's lineage returns, we can observe what they do first."
He believed that from the conditions given by Xuanting, before Zhengqing's lineage was truly pardoned, they would definitely not mention the matter of Xingzhen Mie Xuan.
Then, they could be said to be on the same path for the time being.
But if they were to mention this in the future, there was nothing to say. They would naturally be enemies. There were ways to treat people on the same path, and there were ways to treat enemies.
Actually, if Xuanting wanted to maintain the balance, even if he did not use Zhengqing's lineage, he could still use other methods. This was also a problem that he would have to face in the future. Therefore, he was already prepared.
Daoist Feng said, "You're right. Now, we can only wait and see. It's just that …" His voice was slightly solemn, "The reason why Zhengqing's lineage was banished back then was not only because of their contributions to Tianxia, but also because of their master's teachings. Daoist, you have to be careful."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder."
Daoist Zhong returned to the Taoist Palace. He waved his sleeve at the jade wall. When Daoist Zhangsun and Daoist Chong appeared, he told them about what happened today. After a long discussion with the two, he hid the jade wall and called a disciple. "Call Xu Chong here."
The disciple was about to leave but was stopped by him. "Is Zheng Xiang not back yet?"
The disciple replied carefully, "I've asked him a few times. Pei Gu and the rest are also investigating, but there's been no news."
Daoist Zhong had been thinking about how to let Zhengqing's lineage return these days. He did not have the time to care about what happened here. After hearing the disciple, he waved his sleeve and asked the disciple to leave first.
He took out a spell and began to deduce. His senses were boundless, and he had no clue at all. He could not help but frown. This situation was not normal, because he had left some of his methods on Zheng Xiang's body. Logically speaking, even if Zheng Xiang had died, he should be able to deduce it. This was also the reason why he was not in a hurry before.
However, now there was no news of Zheng Xiang's whereabouts. Unless there were other Xuan Zun involved, which caused the mysteries of heaven to be lost. Was this just a coincidence, or was there someone against him?
Just as he was thinking, the disciple outside said, "Venerable One, Xu Chong is here."
Daoist Zhong put this matter aside and said, "Call him in."
Xu Chong walked in and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Venerable One."
Daoist Zhong took a jade box from the table and instructed, "Pass this to Zhengqing's lineage. Also, tell them that it was not easy to obtain this. If they are not willing to express their stance, there might not be another chance like this. "
Xu Chong said, "Yes, I will pass on your message." Seeing that Daoist Zhong had nothing else to say, he took the jade box and left.
Because they had established communication before, it only took half a month for the letter to be delivered to the Dao Palace where the Zhengqing lineage resided.
In the palace, the Daoist on the main seat passed the letter to Daoist Mei. "Zhong Weiwu is quite sincere this time."
Daoist Mei took the letter and looked at it. She raised her head and asked, "Senior Brother, what do you want to do?"
The Daoist said, "Although it's a little early now, since we don't have to fight against the Xuan and Hun Daoists directly, we can go back first. Also, it's time to clean up those juniors who impersonated Zhengqing. Without us around, the reputation of Zhengqing's lineage will be ruined. "
Daoist Mei said, "Senior Brother, are you going to go personally?"
The Daoist said, "Yes."
Daoist Mei thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go on your behalf?"
The Daoist shook his head and said, "In terms of cultivation, I'm better than you. Also, I know more cultivators inside and outside Tianxia than you. Junior Brother, it's better for you to stay in the Daoist Palace."
Daoist Mei hesitated for a while and said, "Senior Brother, is teacher …"
The Daoist thought for a while and sighed, "Teacher expelled us. If we don't regain our footing in Xuanting, how can we face teacher?"
He paused and said, "Junior Brother, you can stay here and watch over the place. I will return to Tianxia in a few days."
In the outer void, You City was floating slowly. This city was smaller than many You City, but it did not stop in one place. Instead, it was constantly moving under the support of the Nether Qi.
Jin Zhixing sat on the highest spell platform in Heaven City. In front of him was a lamp that emitted a green light. He placed his hand on the light and seemed to be refining it.
At this moment, a disciple walked over with a few people. He bowed to him and said, "Xuan Zun, I've brought them here."
Jin Zhixing made a sound of acknowledgment and looked at the people behind the disciple.
That disciple turned around and gestured. The few people who came with him all took off their hoods, revealing their pale, bloodless, and withered faces. Their eyes were all suffused with a golden luster.
One of them stood up and said, "Xuan Zun, we've tried. We can connect with each other and hear each other's words. But we feel that the further we are, the more difficult it is. It might even consume our vitality."
Another person beside him said, "We can feel that we're still missing something. We need something to rely on. This way, we can make up for our lost vitality. Our ability to connect with each other will be strengthened."
Jin Zhixing could see through them at a glance. He knew that they were not lying. From the books he obtained from the people of Shuang Continent, the people of Shuang Continent might be related to an Evil God hiding in the inner layer.
He did not care about the Evil God. He only cared about whether or not he could achieve his goal. Now, it seemed that these people of Shuang Continent needed a "brain".
The stronger the "brain", and the more power they had to make up for their own consumption, the stronger their ability would be.
To him, these problems were not difficult to solve. In fact, he thought that this was a good thing. If the "brain" was in their hands, and then sent to each of You City, it would make the Main City's control over each of the sub-cities more stable.
Below the spell platform, another disciple hurried over and handed over a letter, saying, "Master, there's a letter from the Main City."
Jin Zhixing took it. After reading it, he muttered to himself, "Oh? That plan is about to be completed? "
The letter said, "Reporting to Xuan Zun, I heard that it was not time yet. However, Tianxia has been very fierce recently. In the last clash at the Eastern Vault of Heaven, Shangchen lost miserably. I heard that even a few disciples of the Immortal Soul Venerable died. Therefore, they sent a letter to us, saying that they are preparing to take action in advance."
Even though the letter was talking about the tragedy of Upper Chen Tian, the tone of the letter was filled with schadenfreude.
Xuan Zun made a sound of acknowledgment, but did not comment.
Shangchen was a big family with a big business. They could afford to lose a few times, and they had many backup plans. However, You City was different. In comparison, You City was too weak. Although these upper-class cultivators always had places to go, other than You City, no other place would let them go so easily. Even Shangchen had certain restrictions.
He said, "Regarding this matter, does the Exalted Xian Ding have any instructions?"
The letter said, "The Exalted One said that Shangchen will do what Shangchen does, and our You City will do what You City does."
Jin Xuan Zun immediately understood and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
The letter trembled and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. To be able to work for Xuan Zun, I'm full of energy."
Jin Xuan Zun smiled and said, "Go back and tell the Exalted One Xian Ding that I've made some progress. Within a hundred days, the results will be clear!"
