After Wei Tingzhi left the Yuandu Sect, he immediately returned to the upper levels. Knowing that he had returned, all the court administrators cast their shadows into the meeting hall.
The head Daoist saw that all the court administrators except for Feng Tingzhi had arrived, so he asked Wei Tingzhi to explain the details of the meeting.
Wei Tingzhi explained the details to everyone, and also the conditions that the Yuandu Sect proposed. However, this condition was immediately rejected by all the court administrators.
Dai Tingzhi said, "The Yuandu Sect wants to imitate You City."
Everyone nodded.
That should be the case.
It wasn't as if sects or powers had taken the initiative to break away from Tianxia, You City was an example.
However, Tianxia had never acknowledged You City until now.
Moreover, because You City wasn't a sect, and it was originally in the outer layer, the inner layer didn't suffer any losses, so the harm caused wasn't great.
However, if the Yuandu Sect really left Tianxia, it would still be in the inner layer.
Saying that the two would have nothing to do with each other, then who could guarantee that the Yuandu Sect wouldn't open the door and let the outer layer cultivators in? This was equivalent to breaking the outer layer of the Twenty-Eight Constellations' defense, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Even if they didn't talk about this, Tianxia wouldn't set a precedent for the revival of the sect's old system. This would undoubtedly be digging their own roots.
Everyone present understood that the Yuandu Sect proposed this at this time because they saw that Tianxia would most likely have to deal with the outer layer's powers joining hands, and Huanyang school might even be among them. The situation was very dangerous, so they wanted to use this as a threat to smoothly escape.
Lin Tingzhi said, "The best method now is to find Fellow Daoist Xun Ji and Fellow Daoist Zhan Kong. If we're able to obtain the two of them, then we can ask them to put an end to this matter, and there wouldn't be any need for any conflict."
Wei Tingzhi shook his head and said, "According to Zhang Shouzheng's report, Daoist Zhan Kong should've gone back early in the morning to stop this matter, but now we don't know where he is.
I'm guessing that Daoist Zhan Kong might've been trapped or imprisoned by Ren Yinping. We can't count on him. However, if Daoist Xun Ji is still here, with his prestige and ability, it's enough to subdue Ren Yinping. "
The head Daoist seemed to know something, and said, "Daoist Xun Ji doesn't need to look for him, we can only solve this matter ourselves."
Hearing his words, the court administrators gave up on this idea and began to ponder.
In the past, the Yuandu Sect.... After all, the agreement only depended on how big the price you were willing to pay, and couldn't solve all the problems.
Therefore, the upper echelons set up the Clear Sky Astrolabe to monitor, in case anything went wrong. Furthermore, Xun Ji and Zhan Kong were completely leaning towards Tian Xia. Therefore, in the past three hundred years, the Yuandu Faction had always been very stable, almost as if it didn't exist.
Now, the Sect was, the sect's sect sect was a little, they were a little bit were were used. was used used was was was the sect sect sect sect was was the sect 'sect sect
Fortunately, the agreement was still in place, so the Yuandu Sect couldn't take that step for now, but it was hard to say after a long time.
Chen Tingzhi said coldly, "The Yuandu Sect relies on nothing more than the fact that their sect is hard to find." He looked at Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi, and said, "Zhong Tingzhi, Chong Tingzhi, if the two of you use a combined magic artifact, can you find a trace?"
Zhong Tingzhi thought for a moment, and said, "If it's just finding the sect's location, it's possible, but it's not very meaningful. Because even if we find that location, I'll disturb the heavenly secrets when I calculate. The person controlling the magic artifact will also sense it and avoid it in advance."
Chong Tingzhi said at this moment, "If we can completely free our hands and combine the power of the magic artifact and fellow Daoists, we can always keep an eye on this place. However, ever since Shangchen's invasion, the heavenly secrets haven't stopped for a single day, so we can't do this."
Everyone frowned. In the path of heavenly secrets calculation, this was one of the few methods that Shangchen could use to gain the upper hand against Tianxia. Therefore, it was very difficult for them to bypass it.
Daoist Yu Su said resolutely, "I, Tianxia, definitely can't accept the conditions that Yuandu put forward. However, we can tell them clearly and let them abide by the agreement. If they're unwilling, then I, Tianxia, can only use some methods at all costs."
At this moment, Wei Tingzhi cupped his fists and said, "Head Deacon, fellow Court Deacons, although Yuandu has strange thoughts, they haven't taken that step yet. There's still a door that can be communicated. I'm willing to go to Yuandu again and tell them the pros and cons. If it's really impossible, then it's also because they violated the agreement first. It won't be too late to make a move then."
The head Daoist considered for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, a light flickered in the hall. Daoist Ming Zhou appeared below the hall. He looked over and said, "Ming Zhou, is there something wrong?"
Daoist Ming Zhou cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Head Deacon, fellow Court Deacons, Zhang Shouzheng has an important matter to report to the court. He said that this matter involves Yuandu's lineage."
Lin Tingzhi turned around and said, "Head Deacon, since it involves Yuandu's lineage, perhaps Zhang Shouzheng can bring some useful news. Since fellow Court Deacons are here, why don't we invite Zhang Shouzheng to the hall to speak."
The head Daoist nodded and said, "That's good too. Ming Zhou, go and invite Zhang Shouzheng over."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed and retreated.
After a while, a ray of light appeared. Zhang Yu's figure appeared in this place. He looked at the Court Deacons and calmly raised his sleeve to greet, "Greetings, head Deacon. Greetings, fellow Court Deacons."
The place where the meeting hall was located was rather hidden for some purpose. Other than the head deacon, no one knew where it was. Every time, one had to use the Shadow Transformation to enter. Hence, at this moment, he also used the Shadow Transformation to enter.
Lin Tingzhi said in a gentle voice, "Zhang Shouzheng, Daoist Ming Zhou said that you have an important matter related to Yuandu to report. May I know what it is?"
Zhang Yu said, "A few days ago, Daoist Zhan Kong of Yuandu's lineage brought his disciple to the East Court to travel. At that time, I met him. However, he suddenly noticed something and left in a hurry. Before he left, he entrusted his disciple to me. This matter has already been reported to the court.
However, just now, Daoist Zhan Kong's disciple suddenly came to me. He said that Daoist Zhan Kong left behind something before he left. He said that if he didn't return for a long time, he would entrust it to me and let me take a closer look. "
As he said, he took out the jade token, "I took a look at it just now. I found that with this item, I can find the hiding place of Yuandu's lineage!"
"Oh?"
When the court representatives heard him say this, they all looked at him with concern.
They had been discussing for a long time just now. The most difficult problem to solve was that it was difficult to find the hiding place of Yuandu's lineage. They didn't expect Zhang Yu to bring such a news.
The Daoist priest took a look. The jade token disappeared from Zhang Yu's hand and directly appeared in his hand. He took a look and confirmed, "This token can indeed lead to the location of Yuandu's lineage." He raised his head and looked, "Zhang Shouzheng, according to what you said, this thing was left by Daoist Zhan Kong to that disciple early on?"
Zhang Yu replied, "Yes."
The Daoist priest nodded and said, "Then there's no mistake. This should be the backup left by Daoist Zhan Kong. This token should be the entry and exit token of Yuandu's lineage. With this token, not only can we find the location of Yuandu's lineage, but we can also enter through it!"
Chen Tingzhi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Head Deacon, if that's the case, we have to take the initiative."
The Daoist priest slowly shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."
Inside Yuandu's mountain gate, Qiao Yueqing returned to the sect. She ordered her disciples to go by themselves while she went to see Daoist Wang first. After meeting him, she said apologetically, "Senior-apprentice Brother, I'm ashamed. I wasn't able to bring anyone back and instead lost my disciple outside."
Daoist Wang comforted her, "Senior-apprentice Sister, you don't have to be like this. Who would have thought that Zhang Shouzheng was also Senior-apprentice Brother Xun's disciple? He used this as an excuse. We are limited by the agreement. Before we officially separate from Tianxia, we can't do anything. "
Qiao Yueqing said, "Senior-apprentice Brother, is Senior-apprentice Brother Ren here? I have something to report. "
Daoist Wang said, "Senior-apprentice Brother is at the Weightclimbing Platform. Senior-apprentice Sister can go by yourself."
Qiao Yueqing acknowledged. She bid farewell to Daoist Wang and went to the Weightclimbing Platform. After reporting, she walked up the stairs to the highest platform. She bowed to Ren Yinping who was waiting there and said, "Senior-apprentice Brother Ren Yinping greetings."
Ren Yinping also bowed and said, "Senior-apprentice Sister has returned. You've worked hard this time."
Qiao Yueqing lowered her head and said, "Senior-apprentice Brother, I didn't accomplish anything. Please punish me."
Ren Yinping calmly said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. I know you've already done your best."
Qiao Yueqing bowed again and said, "Senior-apprentice Brother, I went there to take a look. There are indeed marks left behind by Senior-apprentice Brother Zhan Kong. There are also traces of foreign auras. That should be a message from Shangchen."
Ren Yinping said, "It's good that you can confirm it. Thank you, Senior-apprentice Sister."
Qiao Yueqing said, "Senior-apprentice Brother, I wonder if we can ask Tianxia for those disciples that were captured. After all, they were brought out by me. We can't just abandon them. "
Ren Yinping nodded and said, "These are all my disciples. We won't give them up. I will discuss this matter with Tianxia and try to get them to return as soon as possible."
At this time, a disciple came and bowed, "Sect Master, Senior-apprentice Brother Di has arrived."
Ren Yinping said to Qiao Yueqing, "Senior-apprentice Sister, if there's nothing else, you can go and rest first. If there's anything else, we can talk about it another day."
Qiao Yueqing said yes. She was about to leave, but she hesitated. She looked up and said, "Senior-apprentice Brother Zhan Kong hasn't returned?"
Ren Yinping didn't answer.
Qiao Yueqing was disappointed that she didn't get an answer. She bowed and left.
After waiting for a while, a young disciple in his twenties walked up. He was dressed in a clean white robe and had a confident look on his face. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Sect Master Martial Uncle."
Ren Yinping glanced at him and said, "Your cultivation has improved. You've been very diligent in your cultivation recently."
The young disciple said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Martial Uncle. It's just a small improvement."
Ren Yinping said, "Your master is unwilling to return. I hope you can persuade him on my behalf.
The young disciple was stunned and said, "I should obey the Sect Master's orders. However, he's still my master. I'm afraid I can't persuade him."
Ren Yinping said, "It's okay. Just do your best. Also, ask him on my behalf if he still has the sect entrance talisman with him. "
The young disciple subconsciously looked up at him, but then quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes."
