Su Zhan watched as Zhang Yu walked towards him step by step. He felt his entire body tremble and his scalp go numb. The pressure that the latter gave him was far too strong.
The rest of the disciples present also turned pale. Their consciousness became sluggish and their bodies swayed. If not for the fact that they were still within the range of Ying Chong's transcendence energy, not a single one of them would have been able to stand still the moment Zhang Yu appeared.
Ying Chong then transmitted his voice into the distance. "So it's Xuanting Zhang Shouzheng. May I know why Zhang Shouzheng is here?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Don't tell me you don't know why I'm here?"
Ying Chong said, "We're not in Tianxia's territory. We really don't know how we've gotten in your way."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "I'm not here to argue with you. Since I'm here today, I naturally want to get a result."
Ying Chong nodded and said, "That's true. Since you're here, what's the use of talking about reason?"
He knew very well that even though Tianxia was usually more reasonable, that still depended on the occasion and the situation. Once Tianxia felt that there was no need to be reasonable, he would naturally not waste any more words with you.
He pondered for a moment, then looked up and said sincerely, "Before we make a move, Zhang Shouzheng, would you be willing to listen to me?"
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment. He could tell that this person was not stalling for time. There was no possibility of stalling for time now. They were so close to Tianxia. Even if Shangchen's reinforcements arrived, they would not be able to save anyone. Instead, it would be a waste of time. So he said, "Please speak."
Ying Chong's voice carried a hint of emotion. "I've been preparing for this for a long time. If this plan can succeed, then it'll be a good thing for both of us."
Zhang Yu said, "A good thing? I'm afraid it's only a good thing for your side? "
Ying Chong sighed and said, "No, this is Zhang Shouzheng's shortsightedness. Think about it, if Shangchen can enter the inner layer and occupy Yuandu Xuantu, then what will the end result be? Shangchen can't do anything to Tianxia, and Tianxia can't do anything to me! "
He looked back at Zhang Yu. "And because neither of us can do anything to each other, we're both wary of each other, so we'll be in a stalemate in the future..... This balance will last for a long time. and this way, our two sides can avoid the war.... Isn't this a good thing?
Zhang Yu said, "What you said is ridiculous and nonsensical. Let's not talk about the fact that Yuandu's bloodline has already merged with Tianxia. You're trying to rob what belongs to Tianxia. Just like what you said, how long can the so-called balance last?"
Ying Chong replied seriously, "According to my estimation, it shouldn't be a problem for two or three hundred years. If both sides take a step back, then it's possible for it to last for a thousand years."
He smiled again and said, "Perhaps Zhang Shouzheng wants to ask, what's the point of this balance if our two sides are going to fight each other in the end? Yes, I admit that it will still be like this in the end. But no one can guarantee that everything will run the same way from beginning to end. The world will always change. How can I change the general trend with my own strength? But in my opinion, it's already good enough for our two sides to have a temporary balance. The rest will depend on the efforts of the two sides.
And who can say for sure that our two sides can't find a better way to coexist? At least by that time, our two sides will have coexisted for a long time. Talking about this matter will no longer be a castle in the air. "
Zhang Yu said, "You're wrong about one thing. It's not that our two sides can't coexist. As early as three hundred years ago, Tianxia gave Shangchen a chance, but Shangchen didn't want to take it and abandoned it. If Shangchen doesn't abandon the old system of sects, then this path is destined to be impossible."
Ying Chong said, "Why does Tianxia insist that our Shangchen Sect abandon the old system of sects? Isn't it better to go back to the past? Tianxia doesn't care about us, and we don't care about Tianxia's affairs. So, isn't this beneficial to both our sides? "
Zhang Yu said, "Before you say this, you should reflect on yourself. You treat all the people in the world like lowly animals, and you wantonly enslave and bully them. You even take the junior cultivators as your slaves. You act without any scruples. You call it 'detachment and freedom'. How dare you ask me, Tianxia, why should I control you?"
Ying Chong said matter-of-factly, "The system of sects has been like this since ancient times. It can be said that it hasn't changed for thousands of years. Why should we suddenly change it? We've become immortals, so we're different from mortals. We should be free and enjoy the benefits. If we have to accommodate mortals, then what's the point of detachment? "
Zhang Yu sneered. He didn't continue to argue with this person. The other party had cultivated for thousands of years. He already had his own set of inherent cognition. It was impossible to change it. Even if he continued to argue, there wouldn't be any results. In the end, it was better to directly compete with Taoism.
He looked at the other person and said, "Xuanting Shouzheng, Zhang Yu. I'm here to ask for advice."
Ying Chong shook his head and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, I'm not here to discuss Taoism today. I'm afraid I can't do as Shouzheng wishes."
As he spoke, the Earth Star under his feet suddenly moved. The surface of the land cracked, revealing the silvery-white interior.
As it turned out, the entire Earth Star had long been refined into a Magical Artifact. As the Earth Star rotated, it emitted rings of thick golden light, protecting the place where he was.
When Zhang Yu saw this scene, he immediately recognized that this was an instrument purely used for defense. On the surface, it could be said to be sturdy. However, this method would only be meaningful if there was external help. If there wasn't, it would only be a cage to trap him.
He didn't care about what this person was thinking. With a thought, ten thousand stars twinkled and lit up behind him. Looking at it, it seemed to be connected with the vast stars. After a breath, countless stars twinkled. In the next moment, as those stars twinkled rapidly, ten thousand stars flew towards this sacrificially refined Earth Star.
Ying Chong looked up and said apologetically, "Friend Su, I've implicated you this time."
Su Zhan hurriedly said, "Senior's words are too serious. Although that person is powerful, if I join forces with Senior, we might not be able to defeat him."
Ying Chong slowly shook his head and said, "Xuan Zun, you must be joking. If you could control Yuandu Xuantu, this Dao Guarding Treasure, then it wouldn't be difficult to fight this person. At the very least, you could escape. But what if you win now? This place isn't far from Tianxia. If we beat back this person, others will come. This time, our defeat is certain. "
Su Zhan was silent for a moment, and said with some difficulty, "Then according to Senior, we're certain to be defeated here this time?
Ying Chong said with a natural expression, "Xuan Zun, you're wrong. The only one who will be defeated is you, Xuan Zun, not me. My Divine Qi has long been absent. Even if I give up this body, I can still return it. Xuan Zun, after I return, I will take care of your people for you. "
Su Zhan couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Ying Chong, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say at this moment.
Ying Chong didn't pay attention to the changes in his mind. He looked at the starlight that was constantly hitting the Earth Star's restrictions and shaking the entire Earth Star. His eyes were full of regret. Since this plan had failed, there was no point in continuing to be entangled here.
However, he wasn't prepared to fight Zhang Yu face to face here. Zhang Yu seemed to have come alone, but behind him stood the entire Xuanting. Now, who knew how many people were watching here.
If he went up and fought with this person for a long time, then there was a possibility that the location of his Divine Qi would be divined. If his Divine Qi was taken away, then he would really be defeated here. Therefore, there was only one choice now.
He said, "Xuan Zun, this is goodbye. Take care of yourself. "
After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and flew towards the far end of the void. In the beginning, his speed wasn't fast. His Daoist robe could still be seen floating in the air. However, as his speed increased, his entire person gradually turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Zhang Yu. At the same time, there was a terrifying force that was surging in his body.
He wanted to abandon this body in one go and release all the mana in his body in an instant. With this, he could create an unprecedented killing power!
It would be good if he could perish together with Zhang Yu. However, it didn't matter if he couldn't hurt him. After that, he could just return to the world after he recovered his Divine Qi.
Zhang Yu stood in the spacious and quiet void. He looked at the stream of light that was rushing towards him from the Earth Star. His gaze was also fixed on it.
If a Daoist cultivator who relied on the Void Technique were to unleash his full strength, it would be a great threat to him. He still remembered that day in the Yuandu Mountain Gate, not a single Ren Yinping's incarnation could withstand such an impact. That was only a trace of the Court Enforcer's Primordial Spirit.
However, right now, Ying Chong had integrated all of himself into this impact. If he wasn't careful, it would be enough to take him away from the world.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all. He waved his sleeve forward and the Shocking Heaven Sword that was originally hidden in his sleeve suddenly flew out and rushed towards him.
The "Absolute Slash" on the sword had been accumulating power for a long time. Even in the previous battle, he hadn't used it. Now that it was unleashed, he attached all of his Heart Force to it. Wherever it passed, a sword mark that tore through the void appeared.
Ying Chong's attack was a one-way trip. He didn't have the slightest intention of retracting his power or dodging. Therefore, the two of them collided in an instant!
His entire body's power instantly erupted. However, the originally world-shaking attack, after a sudden flash that lit up the void, no longer emitted any power.
All the magic power that it released was actually destroyed by the Heaven Shocking Sword's power of "Absolute Annihilation"!
Of course, this was also because Ying Chong's attack was too violent and didn't have any variations. Meanwhile, Zhang Yu was naturally never afraid of this kind of direct collision.
However, it wasn't without a price. The sword power that he had been accumulating for several years had to start all over again.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Ying Chong's life-risking attack was taken away by Zhang Yu with a casual slash of his sword. It didn't even cause the slightest ripple. The impact this scene gave to everyone was really too great.
Su Zhan witnessed this scene from nearby. His pupils rapidly contracted. Then, his expression became serious. He cupped his hands towards the sky and said loudly, "Zhang Shouzheng, I am a disciple of Master Ren and also a disciple of the Yuandu Sect. Today, I beg you to allow me to return to the sect …"
