When Tian Hong and Guyang heard Xian Ding's suggestion, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Gu Yangzi pondered for a moment, then said, "That's fine. Also, before we take action, we still need to inform the three Ancestral Masters about the matter of us summoning Huanyang school back."
Just as Tian Hong had said, the three Ancestral Masters would definitely know what they were doing, but whether or not they would inform them was another matter altogether.
Daoist Tian Hong wanted to quickly resolve this matter and didn't want any more delays, so he decisively said, "Then let's do it this way." He flung his sleeve, and immediately, a water-like rainbow leaked out from his sleeve. Inside the rainbow was a small square jade seal about four fingers wide. This object followed the brilliance and fell into the hall, where it continuously spun.
Gu Yangzi also stretched out his finger, and a red brilliance overflowed from his finger. Its Qi was harmonious, and its light was warm. When the brilliance reached its end, a small jade seal with a similar shape appeared.
Lingdu Daoist stretched out his hand, and a jade seal appeared on his palm. Soon after, he threw it out. Accompanied by a beautiful reflection, this seal spun three times and also fell into the hall.
These three jade seals arrived at the center of the hall. At first, they didn't interfere with each other, but as if they were attracted to each other, they gradually approached each other. However, they seemed to be blocked by a force, so they couldn't completely collide. Instead, they formed a circle and rapidly spun around each other, faster and faster.
Not long after, a light suddenly appeared in the middle of the three seals. A moment later, the hall shook with a loud bang, and a spiritual light soared into the sky. At the same time, a strong but not very dazzling light curtain spread outwards, and like a tide, rushed over the three people.
In that faint light, vague figures appeared. The three Daoists seemed to have fallen into an ink painting. Their hair was tied up in high buns, and their robes were simple and unadorned. Immortal mist was everywhere, and it was spacious and lonely.
When Guyang, Tian Hong, and Lingdu saw the three Daoists, their expressions turned solemn. They cupped their fists and said, "Disciples pay respect to the three Patriarchs."
One of the Daoists turned his head and looked at them. His voice seemed to come from the Nine Heavens, "What do you want to ask?"
Gu Yangzi took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to the three Grandmasters, Tianxia's power is too great right now. Just relying on our Shangchen family alone is indeed difficult to deal with, so we need to ask for his help. Therefore, the three of us have decided to use our Shangchen's Taoist treasure, the Cymbidium Lucidum, to summon back to Huanyang school and ask them to help us deal with Tianxia. However, this matter is of great importance, we do not dare to make a decision on our own. Therefore, we have come to ask the three Grandmasters for instructions."
The Taoist said, "Huanyang is cruel and oppressive. You call him that, so you should bear the consequences."
Guyang, Lingdu, and Lingdu knew that this was an agreement. However, they were reminded of the consequences, which they had long prepared for.
In reality, they had used all kinds of methods. This was the only way left. If they called Huanyang, there was still a chance, but if they did not call Huanyang, they would still die. There was no need to ask which choice they should make. Therefore, they all bowed and said, "Yes."
Gu Yangzi then raised his head and said, "There is one more thing. I would like to advise You City to form an alliance with us. However, You City has asked for treasured materials from me. It seems that you want to sacrifice and refine your Taoist treasure. We do not know if we should agree to it. Please advise us, Patriarchs."
At this moment, the sound of floating clouds and water could be heard. The Daoist sitting on the left slowly turned his head and said, "We are already aware of You City's request. You can decide on this matter. It does not matter if you give it or not."
The Daoist on the right seemed to have ink floating beside him. He said, "We have no use for those treasured materials. You can take them."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the Daoist in the middle lifted his sleeve slightly and waved it downwards. As if he was covering something, the three figures gradually disappeared.
When the three of them saw this, they said, "Farewell, Patriarchs."
At this moment, the spiritual light in the field retreated. The main hall also returned to its original state. The three jade seals that were originally spinning there seemed to have lost their momentum and gradually slowed down. Finally, they separated and flew back into the hands of the three.
Daoist Tian Hong lifted his sleeve and kept the jade seals. He said, "According to the Patriarchs, it is up to us to decide whether or not to give You City the treasured materials. However, I think it is better not to. If You City has a Taoist treasure, then you will have your own plans. You may not necessarily obey our wishes."
Gu Yangzi said, "But with this item, You City will not help me. However, it will also not lean towards Tianxia. This is beneficial to us. "
Daoist Xian Ding nodded and said, "That is the reason. If You City can protect itself, then it will definitely not think of relying on others. Moreover, if Tianxia wins this battle, then it will definitely not allow them to keep this Taoist treasure. They should be able to understand this reason."
Daoist Tian Hong said coldly, "Although these words are correct and the reason is the same, how You City chooses cannot be judged by common sense. Who knows, maybe he will come up and bite me when he obtains the treasure."
Gu Yangzi said, "If he takes my item, then he must accept my responsibility. If he swears to follow me to attack Tianxia, he may be unwilling. However, if he swears not to disturb me, then he will most likely succeed. This way, we can prevent him from rebelling."
Lingdu Daoist said, "We can't refine those treasured materials even if we keep them. Since they are useless, we might as well take them out and exchange them for some visible benefits. If we occupy the inner layer and the upper layer, do you think we will be afraid of not having these things?"
Daoist Tian Hong had always looked down on You City. He also did not want to argue too much over this matter. He said, "Since both of you think so, then let's send someone to You City again."
Lingdu Daoist said, "Let me arrange this matter."
Gu Yangzi said, "Then I will have to trouble you, Daoist friend." He and Daoist Tian Hong cupped their fists towards Xian Ding. Radiances rose from their bodies, and they both left the main hall.
Lingdu Daoist called a disciple into the hall and said, "Go and summon Hun Kong."
In the outer layer of the void, in a floating You City, Gan Bai retreated from his meditation. He called a disciple and asked, "Has there been any news from the main city recently?"
Recently, Daoist Xian Ding often summoned the incarnations of the city lords to discuss matters. He even set up a type of crystal jade. Although this item was not as good as Xuntian Dao Zhang, it could still be used to pass on information. He did not want to get involved in these matters, so he always found an excuse to gloss over it.
That disciple said carefully, "Yes, Exalted Xian Ding sent a few letters. However, he said that Xuan Zun was in seclusion and sent them away."
Gan Bai grunted and waved his hand to dismiss that disciple. Then, he set up a restriction and called out the Great Dao Hun Kong. He entered the Xuntian Dao Zhang and secretly took a few glances at it.
He cultivated the art of drawing on advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Before the confrontation between Shangchen and Tianxia, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. Therefore, he did not wander around the Xuntian Dao Zhang again. He did not want to be caught by Tianxia's strict investigation if something went wrong.
Now that the limelight was over, he appeared again. However, he was still very cautious. He did not speak immediately and only watched the discussions.
"Senior, you're here." Yue Luo's surprised voice suddenly sounded.
Gan Bai glanced at the talisman and grunted in agreement.
"Senior, are you … alright?"
Yue Luo asked cautiously. She thought that since Senior Tao Shi was so powerful, he must have been fighting against Shang Chen Tian for the past few days.
Gan Bai sneered. I'm proficient in the art of avoiding calamities and prolonging life. What can happen? He snorted and said, "I have my own divine power to protect you."
Yue Luo was relieved. After interacting with him for so long, she also knew that although Senior Tao Shi spoke high and mighty and seemed to be disdainful of everyone, he would answer all questions. He was really a good person.
She said, "Then junior will not disturb senior any longer." Before she left, she thought for a while and sent all the interesting "Lun Kong Seals" that she saw in the past few days to Gan Bai.
Gan Bai glanced at them a few times. These Lun Kong Seals were all discussing what would happen if Shangchen and Tianxia were to fight.
Many of them were analyzing the strength of Tianxia and Shangchen in all seriousness. They talked about how Shangchen would attack, what would happen first, what would happen next, and what would happen next. It looked like Shangchen was suppressing Tianxia while Tianxia was passively defending.
This was not because this person was biased, but because Tianxia had always been on the defensive in the past and did not have any plans to fight. Therefore, it made people feel that Tianxia was generally very passive. At the end, there were many who agreed.
He looked down and said disdainfully, "Junior's childish talk!"
He immediately left a sentence at the end. "Everyone wins on paper, but you think you're the only one who can do it. You keep talking in your sleep. I think you haven't woken up yet!"
With a wave of his hand, this Lun Kong Seal was moved away. The light screen in front of him changed and the next seal appeared.
This was not an analysis of the process of the confrontation between the two sides, but a specific description of Huanyang school.
Gan Bai looked down and thought that the person who made this comment did not follow Tianxia to this world more than three hundred years ago. Then, he must have heard a lot of things from his elders and teachers. The explanation was more detailed. At least from his point of view, there was nothing wrong with it, but there was also nothing worth paying attention to.
He had seen those people in Huanyang school, and they were all annoying.
However, the following discussion was interesting. This was a derived topic. It was said that compared to the cultivators in Shangchen, Tianxia had some powerful upper class cultivators.
Not to mention the court officials, the lower class cultivators did not know who the Xuanting court officials were. When facing the lower class, the Xuanting had always appeared as a whole.
What they knew were only a few Xuan Zun that they had met or heard of. Some of these Xuan Zun had served as the head of the Xuan Zun of the upper continent, and some of them had once talked about Dao in front of the masses.
However, this was undoubtedly the place where the outer guards were the most familiar. This was because they were at the forefront of the fight against the external enemies and had many opportunities to display their skills. Therefore, they were mentioned the most.
When Gan Bai saw that the outer guards were mentioned, he could not help but feel refreshed. However, he continued reading with slight anticipation. He was a little unhappy that no one mentioned his name in the entire discussion.
At this moment, someone pointed out that the outer guards were all Xuan Zun's doppelgangers. Therefore, it was impossible to determine who was more powerful based on the doppelgangers. An ordinary cultivator would not be able to tell. Then, he changed the topic and said, "If we want to talk about who is more powerful, of course, we have to mention the three guards guarding Yujing. Have you all heard of them, Exalted Yuhang?"
