Xuan Zun initially thought that the people from Shangchen were about to make a move, but he quickly realized that the person who came this time was heading towards Lu Xingjie.
He took a closer look. The identity of the person who came was unknown, and his aura was also very unfamiliar. He was certain that it was not the cultivator from Tianxia that he knew.
The cause of this conflict was also unknown, but in order to ensure stability, he immediately descended from the upper level of the cultivation ground and released his mana to first protect the Winged Mansion Earth Star.
And at this moment, following the flash of two powerful lights, Zhu Feng and Mei Shang, the two new Shouzheng, appeared on the spell platform of Tiancheng together.
The two of them had been guarding here all this time. When they saw that there was a change in front of them, they communicated with Xuan Zun and took the initiative to rush forward in an attempt to stop the battle.
Lu Xingjie was an envoy sent by Shangchen, a Xuan Zun. If he died here, it was very likely that it would trigger a direct war between the two families.
Although Tianxia was not afraid of fighting with Shangchen, it was still necessary to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Even if it was caused by the other party, they would not allow the other party to act recklessly in Tianxia's territory.
The two of them arrived at the front, one on the left and one on the right, and were ready to intervene in the battle.
But at this moment, they realized that in a short period of time, Lu Xingjie had fallen into a disadvantageous position. The reason for this was not because he was weak, but because the other party's strength was too high. His cultivation level was similar to theirs, but his mana was unbelievably strong.
They had only rushed close when they felt a strong and thick mana, which hindered their advance to a certain extent. The two of them could not help but look serious.
However, the person who launched the surprise attack seemed to know that this was not the end, so he did not continue. A golden light flashed on his body, and the strong aura suddenly shrunk to a point, then turned into a flash of light and shot far away. Suddenly, he disappeared from everyone's senses.
Lu Xingjie retracted his mana and bowed to Mei Shang and Zhu Feng. With a smile on his face, he said, "Thank you for coming to help."
Solemnly, Mei Shang reminded him, "Envoy Lu, you must be careful."
Lu Xingjie smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but I did not expect to be attacked in Tianxia's territory. I was a little unprepared."
There was a hidden meaning in his words.
Mei Shang could hear this, but he didn't continue to harass them. In order to prevent them from coming back for revenge, he discussed with Zhu Feng and decided not to leave this place for the time being. He also had Wu Xuanzun report everything that had happened here to Xuan Court.
The attack on the emissary of Shang Chen Tian was not a small matter, but because the emissary was fine, there was no court meeting this time. The chief enforcer did not show himself, and the other court enforcers only projected themselves into the Qing Qiong Hall.
Wei Tingzhi said, "In your opinion, could this be a deliberate move by Shang Chentian?"
Taoist Feng said, "Previously, Emissary Lu mentioned that it's not proper for Tianxia to keep him in the outer layer. Could it be that he's purposely putting on a show for us to force us to bring him to the inner layer so that he can achieve some goal?"
Wei Tingzhi said, "Now that Feng Tingzhi has mentioned it, it is possible."
Zhu Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "According to the Shouzheng Mei and Zhu Feng's report, the person who came is not ordinary. His mana is extremely profound, but his cultivation level is not high.
This strange situation reminds me of a technique in Shangchen that can gather the power of several people to form a clone to fight against the enemy. This matches what the Shouzheng Mei saw. "
Taoist Lin pondered for a moment and said, "There is no lack of radical people in Shangchen. This matter might not be related to Envoy Lu. Could it be that those who want to fight want to use this matter to initiate a war between the two sides?"
Dai Tingzhi said at this moment, "It could also be to hide something." He said in a low voice, "If two cultivators were to fight, the shockwaves would be enough to cover up many things."
Taoist Feng said thoughtfully, "Could it be that they want to set up something to make it easier for them to break into the inner layer from here in the future?"
Chen Tingzhi looked at Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi and said, "Is it possible to divine this matter?"
Zhong Tingzhi shook his head and said, "We have already tried to divine it, but the heavenly secrets have always been obscured by the other party. It is difficult to determine accurately. However, based on this little bit of calculation, it can be said that the other party did not come up with this idea on the spur of the moment, but has a plan. It is just that we do not know where it is headed."
Chen Tingzhi said in a low voice, "No matter what this person wants to do, we only need to guard the realm gate well. We can send out orders to check whether there are any cracks in the void everywhere, and whether there are any objects entering the realm from the outside."
Everyone agreed.
After this matter was discussed, everyone's shadows dispersed one after another.
Zhong Weiwu turned into a shadow and returned. As he was pondering, he suddenly saw a light shining on the wall of the hall. It was Chong Zhao and Taoist Zhangsun who appeared there. He asked, "Fellow cultivators, is there something wrong?"
Taoist Zhangsun said, "Fellow cultivator Zhong, you and I both know that if Shangchen fought with me alone, it would be fine. However, if this person took that step, the situation would be much more dangerous. Once the two sides fought, I, Tianxia, would very likely have to pay a huge price, and the number of casualties would not be small."
Zhong Weiwu looked at him and said, "Fellow cultivator Zhangsun, I remember that you did not agree with Chen Tingzhi's suggestion in the court decision just now."
Taoist Zhangsun said indifferently, "I do not feel that we should compromise with Shangchen, but that there is a possibility that we will all die in this battle, and Tianxia needs more power to protect himself."
Zhong Weiwu did not understand at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood what he meant. He said in surprise, "Fellow cultivator, you want to pick up the matter of that creation cultivator again?"
Taoist Zhangsun looked at him and said, "If you want to promote this kind of creation, isn't this the right time? Back then, I, Tianxia, promoted the Xuan method and helped Tianxia overcome the danger. However, why can't we rely on creation to suppress this person again? "
Zhong Weiwu was a little hesitant. In fact, he hoped that he would gain an advantage in the court decision before doing anything. This way, not only would he be open and aboveboard, he would also have no worries. Right now, a war with Shangchen could break out at any time. If he raised this suggestion, although there was an opportunity, he would also be suspected of using the opportunity to scheme. It was not a good choice.
Chong Zhao said, "Fellow cultivator Zhong, I feel that Fellow cultivator Zhangsun's words are somewhat reasonable. Now is undoubtedly the best time. If we raise this suggestion together, Xuanting might agree."
Zhong Weiwu thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "No, the timing is not right. Moreover, I, Tianxia, am not the same as before. Even if the two sides work together, I may not necessarily lose."
Taoist Zhangsun did not insist. Instead, he said, "Zhong Tingzhi's considerations are correct. It is indeed a little early. I am only suggesting a backup plan. If I, Tianxia, am seriously injured, then this method can be used." After he finished speaking, he bowed and his figure disappeared.
After Yu Su left, Zhang Yu was in the training hall refining magic tools, and did not come out. His clone was guarding the Dongting Prefecture, which was still under construction.
At the same time, he created a Shadow Doppelganger and prepared to follow the clues left by his foster father to find the scattered Supreme Stone Slabs.
According to the clues left on the letter, it should still be on the Dongting Continent, at a place called "Qi Hill".
If this place only had a name, it would obviously be impossible to find this place. However, the language on the letter came from a tribe that had migrated into the continent. He felt that he could find out the location of this place from the tribe's native.
And even if this tribe did not know, he could find clues from the EsGod that they worshipped.
Reality proved that his foster father did not set up too big of an obstacle for him here.
The so-called "Qi Hill" was a mound with a flowing hot spring. Fog floated above it all year round, and it was a famous sacred ground. Almost every native had the custom of washing away the evil on their body when they reached adulthood. Even some of the nearby native tribes had heard of this mound called "God's Breath", so it was not difficult to find.
His Shadow Doppelganger followed the migration route of the natives and found the location of the Qi Hill in just half a day.
After standing outside and looking around, he found something. Then, he went deep into the spring and found the next stone slab in a sealed cave in mid-air. At the same time, there was an accompanying letter.
After taking it out and looking at it, he found that the words left on the letter were different from the last time.
In fact, based on the three letters that he had obtained so far, the words used each time were different. This required him to deduce and find clues.
This was originally a very difficult thing to do because after the changes of the era, too many words and histories were annihilated in the long river of time. Although there were patterns between the words that could be found, it was still very difficult to decipher them out of thin air.
Fortunately, he had seen many words of the past Protoss in the Conquest Corridor in Ipar. Among them, there were words that were very similar to this one, so he used this opportunity to translate them.
Here, he also found that if he arranged them according to the order, the time of the words involved in each stone slab was slowly pushed forward. The earliest stone slab happened to be able to be deciphered using the native language that existed in the last era, and the stone slab that he had found now was undoubtedly pushed back even further, close to the previous era.
The key point was that without enough power, he would not be able to reach here.
Obviously, according to the path that his adoptive father had arranged for him, after he obtained the stone slab, he would be led to a more dangerous place to obtain power due to the gradual increase in his own strength.
The words on the letter also had a deep meaning. This was to give him enough time to accumulate knowledge, hone and accumulate his own strength, so that he could prepare before he went to the next clue.
However, he did not need to do so now. The only thing that stopped him was these obscure ancient words.
He looked at the newly obtained letter and quickly read the place where the next stone slab might be located according to the clues. There was no specific place here, but it indicated the direction he needed to go and the general topography.
After he memorized it, he stood on the mound and looked into the distance. Then, with a flash of his figure, he turned into a rainbow light and flew into the sky to search in that direction.
