Chapter 1240
"At first we wanted to ask the association to take action, but... we were rejected by the higher-ups."
"Rejected? If a Northern Barbarian mage secretly infiltrated our country, how could the Feng Shui Association sit idly by and ignore it?" Chen Zhixiang asked doubtfully.
Dai Shiyu looked gloomy and said after a long time, "Today's Feng Shui Association is no longer the Feng Shui Association before."
Everyone was a little stunned.
But none of the people present were stupid, and they soon figured it out.
Since the tragedy of Tianmen Mountain thirty years ago, the vitality of Daxia's magic world has been severely damaged, and the Feng Shui Association has suffered heavy losses, and has been in decline ever since.
Today's Feng Shui Association is not only in disgraceful decline, but also in disarray.
Dai Shiyu and He Xingzhu, although they are considered to be junior high-level officials in the association, it is difficult for them to mobilize other personnel.
Moreover, the upper management of the association now pursues a stable policy and will never take risks.
Perhaps the tragedy of Tianmen Mountain has frightened the Feng Shui Association.
When Dai Shiyu proposed to mobilize elite forces to intercept the Northern Barbarian mages, he was opposed by the upper management of the association.
Their reason was that the association could not spare any manpower for him to use.
Dai Shiyu tried many times to no avail, so he had to find another way.
After discussing with He Xingzhu, he decided to recruit people from outside.
But there is also a problem.
Since the tragedy of Tianmen Mountain, the magic world in Daxia has been worse than before, and its strength has gradually weakened.
Moreover, people's hearts are not as cohesive as before, and everyone is doing their own thing.
It would be difficult to find a group of people to gather together and risk their lives to deal with the secretly invading Northern Barbarian mages.
So Dai Shiyu came up with the idea of saying that Jiulong Cave is the burial ground of Hongye layman, in order to attract people to participate.
But He Xingzhu objected to this. She believed that the matter should be explained openly and honestly to everyone.
But in the end, Dai Shiyu's method was adopted.
Because He Xingzhu also knew in his heart that if he really followed what she said, he might not be able to recruit many people.
Thus, the Jade Emperor Summit was born.
"Master Dai, what you do is too chilling!" Someone was dissatisfied.
Although Dai Shiyu's starting point is to resist the invasion of Northern Barbarian mages, it would be too much to use Hongye Layman's legacy as bait to lure everyone into taking the bait!
"It's all my fault. Master He has nothing to do with this matter." Dai Shiyu took all the responsibility on himself.
"Don't rush to admit your mistake yet, Master Dai. The reason why you rushed here in such a hurry is not just because of the secret invasion of the Northern Barbarian mages, right?" Jiang Chao suddenly said.
When everyone heard this, they immediately became suspicious.
Although the relationship between Daxia and the Northern Barbarians is extremely tense now, and they are constantly at war in the north.
But in fact, mages from both the Northern Barbarians and Daxia would travel between the two countries from time to time.
Even if a group of Northern Barbarian mages secretly entered Daxia, there would actually be nothing surprising.
Many of them often enter the Northern Barbarians secretly, so it’s not a big deal, right?
There must be another reason why Dai Shiyu is so nervous.
"Master Dai, now that things have come to this, please stop being secretive and give us an explanation, right?" Everyone present was also very angry, and their words were no longer as polite as before.
After all, no one likes to be lied to.
Even Chen Zhixiang, who had previously been the most supportive of Dai Shiyu, remained silent.
"I'll give you an explanation." Dai Shiyu nodded.
"Master Dai..." He Xingzhu looked worried.
Dai Shiyu nodded at her to express comfort.
The two of them had known each other for many years and had already formed a deep friendship. He knew that He Xingzhu was worried about him, but as of now, he didn't care so much anymore.
"I wonder if any of you have heard of the theory of dragon veins?"
