The Chief Enforcer glanced at Zhong Tingzhi and said, "What do you think, Zhong Tingzhi?"
Zhong Tingzhi said, "The Evil God has been without intelligence for a long time. It's very strange that it suddenly transformed. There has never been anything in this world that appeared out of nowhere. There must be a reason for this. I think that it might have something to do with the Huanyang school's magical instrument a few days ago."
Lin Tingzhi agreed and said, "That makes sense."
He paused for a moment, then looked at everyone and said, "Everyone should know that when Zhang Shouzheng and Zhan Kong went to capture Guan Liang, there were traces of the power of the upper class on their bodies. That's why we paid more attention and tracked down the 'Ten Thousand Transformations Jing Yang'.
But the magical instrument's origin is clear. It was left behind by the Huanyang school. But the weapon's spirit came in a very strange way. The magical instrument was in the void. When there was no sacrifice, it had to fight against the evil outside the void. It was constantly exhausted, so how could it contain a weapon's spirit?
Not to mention tampering with its consciousness and taking over its body. But if it's said that the Evil God was behind this and caused this transformation, then it makes sense. "
Wei Tingzhi said, "Lin Tingzhi is right, but I have a doubt.
Like you said, since the Evil God has intelligence, it must have something to ask for. It suddenly attacked Shouzheng Mei and Zhu and repeatedly mentioned sacrifices. It seems that it was to strengthen the 'Ten Thousand Transformations Jing Yang'.
But that magical instrument was left behind by the Huanyang school. It's not difficult to say that the Evil God can influence it. But if it's to control it, it's impossible unless it's an expert from the upper class. "
That's right, because even if you take a magical instrument from an ordinary cultivator, you have to refine it. If the 'Ten Thousand Transformations Jing Yang' could be refined so easily, then the Huanyang school wouldn't have left it behind. So controlling it was definitely not the Evil God's true goal. At least, it couldn't be done at the moment. There must be other reasons.
Chen Tingzhi said, "I've thought about it. Mei and Zhu, Shouzheng Mei and the Zhengqing Daoist once said that the Evil God's Dharma was similar to our Dharma, but it was somewhat different. I thought it was just a mystery, but after discussing it with my fellow Daoists, I realized that it wasn't so. It's very likely that it was imitating us. or perhaps it wanted to complete the Dao and complete the body."
When these words were said, the court attendants pondered for a moment, then nodded. If this was really the case, then the Evil God's previous changes and its subsequent actions could be explained.
Zhong Tingzhi said, "Head Attendant, everyone, we're not afraid that it wants something, but we're afraid that it doesn't want anything. If the Evil God wants to complete the Dao and complete the body, then it's a good thing. We can use this as a plan to bait it."
Everyone nodded endlessly. After the discussion in the hall, the situation had suddenly become clear from its originally complicated and confusing state.
In the past, the Evil God's thoughts were chaotic and its actions were irregular. Naturally, no one knew what it wanted to do. But if the Evil God wanted to complete the Dao, then it was easy to deduce because this was the path that cultivators were familiar with.
Wu Qingxu said with a serious expression, "If that's the case, then this person is even more dangerous. We have to kill it as soon as possible and stop its momentum. Otherwise, it will become a big problem."
Lin Tingzhi added, "Even though the Evil God has obtained some Daoist techniques, it's not to the extent that all of the Evil Gods are like that. There are probably only a few of them, or perhaps only one. If we can kill this Evil God, we might be able to achieve our goal."
Chen Tingzhi raised his head and said, "Head Attendant, we have to report this matter to the Five Deacons. There's an expert behind the Evil God. If we plan to kill it, it's hard to say if the higher-ups will find out."
The Head Attendant nodded and said, "I'll report this to the Five Deacons later." He looked at the crowd and said, "Now, I'd like to invite all of you to discuss how we should proceed with this matter."
At this moment, in Shouzheng Palace, Zhang Yu was reading the report that the Department of Gods had sent to him. He was also aware of what had happened.
He wasn't too surprised that Zhu Feng and Mei Shang were attacked.
Last time, in the matter of Guan Liang and Wei Mao, because the appearance of the upper-level power was too strange, and because the Ten Thousand Transformations Jing Yang was still in the void, he suspected that the Evil God was involved. In fact, Xuan Ting's warning to Mei and Zhu to be careful of the Evil God was part of his advice.
The contents of the report were very detailed. In addition to recording the specific process of the attack, the two of them also wrote down their own countermeasures for future generations to refer to.
This was also Tianxia's style. He did not hide his experience of fighting against the enemy. Instead, he shared it with everyone. This way, if someone encountered a similar opponent, they would know how to deal with it.
It was emphasized that the Evil God's bewitchment was from one's heart to one's mind. It was not a direct attack. If a cultivator encountered the Evil God, as long as he did not panic and maintained his state of mind, the Evil God would not be able to do anything to him.
However, because he had not really fought with the Evil God, he did not know the true strength of the Evil God. Therefore, he advised that if one did not have absolute confidence in one's own abilities, one should not make a counterattack. It was best to stay on the defensive and wait for reinforcements.
This could be said to be a very precious experience. He would not ignore it and kept it in his heart. However, Daoist Zhengqing directly drove the Evil God away. Obviously, the Evil God was not to the point where it could not be dealt with.
It was worth noting that these two were True Cultivators. Their state of mind was stable, so they could fight against the Evil God. However, what if it was a pure Xuanxiu? He couldn't do the same here.
However, Xuanxiu had his own advantages.
He thought about it and added another line at the back of the book. "If Xuanxiu sees it, when he first awakens, he can quickly send Xuntian Dao Zhang to inform him."
Zhu Feng and Mei Shang were able to get reinforcements in time because of Xuntian Dao Zhang. Otherwise, Zhengqing might not have come in time. Their initial plan was to defend for half a month. They might not be able to survive. Only with reinforcements behind them would it be meaningful to stay on the defensive. Otherwise, it would be better to fight it out early.
After he finished writing, he handed the book to the Deity Book Department and asked them to make a copy and distribute it. Then, he took a scroll of the treasures in the hall and prepared to go back and sacrifice them.
However, just as he took two steps, he felt something. He turned around and saw a ray of light light up in the hall. Daoist Ming Zhou appeared there. He bowed and said, "Shouzheng, Ming Zhou has been ordered to deliver the reward this time."
Zhang Yu took the imperial edict and opened it to take a look. This time, the elimination of Wanhua Jing Yang was worth a total of two hundred and eighty kilograms of Xuan Food. He asked again and found out that Zhan Kong also had the same number of rewards this time.
After Daoist Ming Zhou delivered the reward, he said, "Xuanting has something to tell Ming Zhou. Shouzheng, please lift the restriction in Shouzheng Palace."
Zhang Yu knew that there must be something. He transferred a thought to Shouzheng's official seal. The restriction inside and outside the palace was lifted. Layers of golden light surged and firmly enveloped the entire Shouzheng Palace. He said, "You can speak now."
Ming Zhou said, "Shouzheng, have you seen the reports of Zhu Shouzheng and Mei Shouzheng?"
Zhang Yu said, "I have."
Ming Zhou said, "This time, the evil deity is different from the past. Therefore, the court officials have decided to kill this evil deity. However, because this matter may have the power of the higher-ups, they did not write anything. They only asked me to let Shouzheng know."
He roughly explained the discussion in Xuanting and said, "According to what the court officials have seen, let's assume that the evil deity is looking for a perfect body. Then we can set a bait here.
One is to make a fuss on the already placed instrument 'Jiao Kong Star'. This instrument contains the principles of Dao. If the evil deity is attracted, it may be possible to lure it into the trap. Another one is to send one or two Xuan Zun outside to continue killing the evil deity, lure it to attack, and then find a way to surround and kill it. "
Zhang Yu thought about it. The strategy was simple, but there was no need for it to be complicated. The key was how to execute it and who would execute it. He said, "Who will be the bait?"
Ming Zhou said, "The court officials have decided that because the Shouzheng from Shouzheng Palace are too conspicuous, they will send people as bait. At the same time, they will send a few Xuan Zun to participate in the killing of the evil deity.
However, the evil deity is not without intelligence, it has the ability to distinguish. Therefore, the court officials believe that if the evil deity has already colluded with Shangchen, it may take advantage of the situation to plot against us. However, we can also plan against it. We will form a bigger net outside and try our best to annihilate the invaders. During this time, Zhan Kong will send Yuandu Xuantu to receive them at any time to replenish the manpower. If there are any accidents, we will find a way to bring them back. "
Actually, there was a debate in the court about who should be the bait.
Some of the court officials suggested to send Zhang Yu. This was because Zhang Yu was a Shouzheng and his fighting ability was not weak. Even if he encountered the evil deity, he could defend himself. If that was not possible, he could be given a few instruments to protect himself.
However, the court officials objected. They felt that the bait could not be too strong or too weak. At the same time, the bait could not be too famous. If Zhang Yu were to go, the evil deity would first be cautious. If it tried to take him down and saw that it could not, it might just retreat. Then, it would not achieve its goal.
Moreover, it had to be considered that Zhang Yu was the person who created Xuntian Dao Zhang. If it was just to deal with the evil deity, there was no need for him to take this risk. Instead, it would be most suitable for Zhang Yu to hide at the side and intercept the evil deity.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he knew that Xuanting would use a lot of manpower to get rid of the evil deity. Especially since this plan involved eliminating the cultivators from the outer layer who might come as reinforcements. There would probably be even more Mystique Venerable Ones involved in this matter. If this battle was really as predicted, then the commotion would definitely not be small.
Fortunately, they had the Yuandu Xuantu, which could ensure the secrecy and suddenness of this matter. At the very least, they could retreat safely.
He asked, "When is Xuanting going to take action?"
Ming Zhou said, "We need to make some preparations. We also need to eliminate the influence of the upper state. It will take about a hundred days. Xuanting asked me to inform Shouzheng in advance."
Zhang Yu thought about it. He would need about two months to refine the instrument. Moreover, it was impossible to lure the evil deity out as soon as the bait was out. He would have to wait for some time. Even if this plan failed, it was still possible. Under normal circumstances, he would be able to make it in time. He said, "I understand. I will make preparations in advance."
