Zhang Yu remained calm when he heard Jin Zhixing say that something was amiss in Shangchen. Since the arrival of Shanghai's emissary, Xuanting had made all the necessary preparations. Their security was tighter than usual, so they weren't afraid of any surprise attacks.
Whether Shangchen came for real or not, it didn't matter.
If not for Huanyang school, there was nothing to be afraid of in Shangchen alone. Both sides had fought against each other countless times in the past, so they had a certain degree of understanding of each other's strength.
He said, "Kim Daoist, there's no need to worry. Tianxia has already dealt with it. If there's anything unusual in Shangchen, you can tell me."
Jin Zhixing said, "Yes. I went to see Hun Kong today because of some matters. Although Hun Kong came out to meet me, I found that he was just a clone. Although he concealed himself to the point that it was almost impossible to distinguish the real from the fake, he didn't know that I used to cultivate eye seals, so I could tell that there was something wrong with him at first glance.
Even if it was just a clone meeting, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, since he was so secretive, he must have some ulterior motive. Hence, I found an excuse to investigate other places.
Even though those Xuan Zun behaved as usual every day and I couldn't find any flaws, they could conceal themselves, but they couldn't conceal their disciples. I noticed that many of the Xuan Zun's disciples were either in Closed Door Meditation or not at home. If it was only one place, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, if there were many places, they must have made a move at the same time.
In my opinion, these Shangchen cultivators wouldn't go out for no reason. It's very likely that they're here for Tianxia. "
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Jin Zhixing had put in a lot of effort.
Although it wasn't strange for him to find out about this, it required him to pay attention to the Xuan Zun's disciples all the time. Only then would he be able to find a flaw at a critical moment.
If it were other Xuan Zun, those high and mighty people, why would they pay attention to the junior disciples?
He said, "Kim Daoist is very considerate. I will inform the Imperial Court and remember your contribution."
Jin Zhixing was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare. It's Kim's duty to serve Shouzheng and Tianxia."
He continued, "Shouzheng, Feng Tingzhi seems to have arrived as well. However, Kim Jong Un has yet to see him and does not dare to communicate with him."
Zhang Yu: "That's the right thing to do." After asking for a few more details, he instructed Jin Zhixing to continue watching, and then reported this matter to Chao Huan.
After he withdrew his mind from Xuntian Dao Zhang. He thought for a moment.
It was not impossible for Shangchen to launch a large-scale attack at this time, but now that Tianxia was on high alert, attacking at this time was the worst choice, so Shangchen must have other plans.
And the first thing he thought of was the matter of Yuandu.
Tianxia had just made contact with Yuandu, and Shangchen had already made a move. There were very few such coincidences in the world, so it was very likely that they were cooperating with Yuandu Sect in order to tie down a portion of Tianxia's strength.
This was a very dangerous signal, indicating that Yuandu Sect and Shangchen maintained a certain level of contact. And the more this was the case, the more decisive he had to act.
Xuanting's previous judgment was correct. He could not wait for Yuandu Sect to slowly make arrangements there. He had to cut the Gordian knot and quickly resolve the internal hidden danger.
He thought for a moment, then continued to meditate and recuperate his mind. He prepared to head to Yuandu Sect as soon as there was news from Wei Tingzhi. As for the matters outside, he believed that Xuanting would take care of it.
After Jin Zhixing's report, only a day had passed, and the Four Sky Mansions all reported to Xuanting, saying that the traces of Shangchen cultivators had appeared everywhere, and among them, there was no lack of the famous Xuan Zun.
After Xuanting received the report, they immediately gathered at the Conference Hall to discuss it.
Chen Tingzhi said, "According to Zhang Shouzheng's report just now, Shangchen is intentionally dividing my strength, so that I can't focus on the matter of Yuandu."
Dai Tingzhi said in a low voice, "This is very likely. If Shangchen uses the method of invading to disturb us, we indeed cannot ignore it."
Lin Tingzhi said, "If that's the case, we might as well put on a show and let this generation think that we are indeed being tied down. I believe this generation will stop."
Everyone deeply agreed with him.
They knew very well what kind of people Shangchen was. Everyone was self-centered, and it was impossible to expect this generation to fight to the death for others. As long as they sent a few clones to show up and show that they valued the invasion, not to mention that the other side couldn't tell, even if they did, they wouldn't publicize it. This way, the situation could be stabilized.
After making the decision, Dai Gonghan, Zhu Yisheng, Zhangsun Qian, and Daoist Yu Su all formed their clones, and each went to the Four Sky Mansions to take charge.
Outside West Sky Mansions, on a silver flying boat, a young Daoist with a broad forehead and hair stood there. The robe on his body was scarlet red, like a cloud of fire.
He clasped his hands behind his back and looked down. His gaze was somewhat absent-minded. However, at this moment, he saw a surge of piercing cold Qi emerge from the other side. He exclaimed in surprise, "Zhangsun Qian? Tianxia, even Tingzhi has come out? "
The cultivators below asked, "Daoist, should we attack?"
The young Daoist sneered, "Attack for what? Since Tianxia is giving me face, I will give them face too. Pass down the order, we will maintain this. If the other side doesn't move, we won't move. "
Zhangsun Qian was standing on the Secret Refined Heavenly Vessel, and similarly, he was looking at the opposite side. The disciple behind him asked, "Exalted One, the City Guard and Chief of All Heavens City are asking, should we chase the other side away?"
Zhangsun Qian said indifferently, "Pass down the order, don't move, just defend the formation."
At the same time, in the depths of the void, Daoist Xian Ding's figure appeared on a broken star belt, and he stood on a lotus pedestal.
After a while, a handsome Daoist appeared beside him. His eyes were as bright as stars, and he was wearing a feather robe and a star crown.
Daoist Xian Ding bowed to this person, and said, "Greetings, Daoist Tian Hong."
This Tian Hong was a radical warmonger in Shangchen, and his attitude towards Tianxia was completely different from the Lingdu Daoist's faction.
Daoist Tian Hong returned the greeting, and said, "Daoist Xian Ding, thank you for waiting for so long."
Daoist Xian Ding said, "I've only been here for a while, may I know why you have invited me here?"
Daoist Tian Hong didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point, and said, "Today, I have invited you here to discuss with you how to deal with Tianxia." “
Daoist Xian Ding glanced at him, and said indifferently, "Haven't you been doing this kind of thing all the time?"
He knew very well that Shangchen had been bypassing him, and trying to win over the City Lords under You City to make them work for them. Therefore, although the upper echelons of both sides didn't agree on anything, in fact, some people in You City had been secretly cooperating with Shangchen for a long time.
However, he just pretended that he didn't see this. After all, You City didn't have strong restrictions on the people under it, as long as they didn't betray the other side, it was nothing.
Daoist Tian Hong laughed, and said in a seemingly free and easy manner, but in fact, he was overbearing, "There's no need to mention the past. Today is different from the past, and there are some things that can't be separated from you. You should know that I've been discussing with Tianxia recently."
Daoist Xian Ding said, "I've heard about it."
Daoist Tian Hong said disdainfully, "But how can this discussion be successful? As expected, they were refuted by Tianxia. They even lost face for no reason and lost their morale! "
Daoist Xian Ding wasn't surprised by this result at all, and said, "If Tianxia would compromise, then why would you and I still be here?"
"That's right."
Daoist Tian Hong said, "A few days ago, Tianxia's envoy arrived in Shangchen. If we can't reach an agreement this time, I'm very likely to compete with Tianxia, and end the burden that has been on each other for hundreds of years."
Daoist Xian Ding looked over, and said, "Oh? Your side is so determined? "
Shangchen's power wasn't small, but it wasn't that he looked down on Shangchen, but even if You City joined forces with Tianxia, they still wouldn't be able to suppress Tianxia.
Daoist Tian Hong said, "It's different this time. If we can't deal with him, then we'll add Huanyang school to the mix."
Daoist Xian Ding was shocked. He looked at him for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Are you joking?"
Daoist Tian Hong looked over, and said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Daoist Xian Ding's eyes flickered. He had been cultivating for a long time, and he had dealt with Huanyang school before, but he didn't like the latter.
Why was Huanyang school expelled by Shangchen and Tianxia at that time? Of course, there was a reason for this.
Other than cultivating, this sect also attempted to integrate the Ancient Divine Path and studied various abandoned evil techniques. Some of the Mystique Venerables treated their peers outside the sect as food and resources. They even once attacked their peers. This caused Tianxia and Shang Chen Tian, who had yet to be separated from the sect, to hate them and banished them.
He reminded, "Calling back Huanyang school, aren't you afraid that this generation will attack us first? Don't forget, Shangchen was also one of the people who expelled this generation. "
Daoist Tian Hong said, "Huanyang school is bigoted, but not all of them are stupid. They know where the benefits are, and they know how to seek them. Even if they want to fight with me, they should get rid of Tianxia first."
He saw that Xian Ding didn't say anything, so he said, "I'll be frank with you. Tianxia is sitting in the upper class, and he's getting stronger day by day. If we don't set up laws to suppress him, we can only sit and wait for death. Even if Huanyang school comes back and turns hostile with me, it's still better than watching Tianxia prosper, but we can't do anything about it.
And if we succeed in this matter, the next battle may decide the future situation. Either we overturn Tianxia, or Tianxia will wipe us out. But I don't know where You City intends to stand. "
After a while, Daoist Xian Ding said, "This matter is very important. Let me think about it carefully, and I also need to ask Master about this matter."
Daoist Tian Hong said, "Of course." He smiled and stared at Daoist Xian Ding, saying, "If you refuse, you can write a letter. If I don't hear from you, I'll take it that Daoist friend agrees!"
At this time, Daoist Xian Ding suddenly said, "Is Jin Zhixing, who betrayed You City, in your city?"
Daoist Tian Hong readily admitted, "Yes, this person was taken in by Lingdu."
Daoist Xian Ding reminded, "This person can betray me, but he can also betray you. You should be careful."
Daoist Tian Hong looked at him and smiled, "You're right, Daoist friend. We should be careful." After that, he laughed again, and a dazzling rainbow light rose from his body, shaking the void, and disappeared from the asteroid belt.
