Mingzhou Taoist's announcement made all the Xuanzuns in the formation surprised, and they didn't know why they had to stop the offensive.
But fortunately, the initiative in the war is still in their hands. Tianxia now has an overwhelming advantage against the enemy. On the other hand, the opponent is unable to make progress and can only defend passively, so they can stop at any time.
Chen Tingzhi said: "Zhang Shouzheng, Wu Tingzhi and I, Lin Tingzhi will return to the court first, so I will trouble you to guard here."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "You will take good care of this place."
Chen Tingzhi is not worried here. He just summoned the three of them away this time. In addition to Zhang Yu, there are also Taoist Zhengqing and Yan Ruohan in the field, which is enough to maintain a certain advantage over the opponent.
After waiting for a while, as an oval shadow appeared in the sky, golden light fell from the top, and he, Wu Qingxu, and Lin Huaixin left one after another.
Before the passage between the two realms, Guan Chaosheng had a solemn expression. Faced with five monks who had obtained superior achievements, the pressure was unprecedented.
But he suddenly noticed that two strong auras suddenly left, and he was a little surprised. He didn't know what Tian Xia wanted to do.
But even if two people are separated, the remaining three are not easy to deal with.
While he was on guard, he suddenly heard a strange noise, like a rumbling drum, but no one except him had heard it at this moment.
He was slightly surprised. He glanced at the formation machine and saw that the other side had no intention of continuing to attack. After thinking about it for a while, he retreated into the passage.
When the Yuan Shen cultivators from the Huanyang Sect saw him coming back, they were all a little surprised and confused, but he paid no attention to anyone. He straightened up and went directly to Liankong Jieyang Escape, and his whole body instantly transformed into a blazing rainbow light. included in it.
As he continued to go deeper, one after another appeared in front of him, one after another. One after another, it seemed to be endless. After passing through an unknown number of levels, his own momentum was exhausted, so he stopped and stood. Standing on a flying Qi Er, he said to the huge calamity sun: "The disciples have arrived, do the founders have any explanations?"
After the words came out, three huge Taoist figures appeared from the light wheel. They were immersed in the light. Just because of the changes in the light, the three figures would exchange each other from time to time, and sometimes even It merges into one, making it impossible to tell who it is.
A Taoist figure among them said: "I call you to come here, because this battle can be stopped here. There is no need to fight with Tianxia anymore. The Huanyang Sect can retreat right now."
Guan Chaosheng said: "Retreat now? Our Huanyang faction can retreat, but will Tianxia agree?"
The Taoist said: "Just do as you are told."
The figure on the right also said: "Youcheng, Shangchentian will be here soon. After the Huanyang faction retreats, we can join forces with them."
The Taoist figure on the left also said: "Chen Baixiao and Yu Qingrong are dead. You should choose two suitable people as hosts as soon as possible. Don't leave the host position vacant for too long."
Although Guan Chaosheng met several patriarchs who were quite tough in their words, no matter what they said, they were actively choosing to retreat. This may be because they suffered some losses in the upper-level exchanges.
He said casually: "I know."
After the three Taoists took care of him, the huge figure disappeared from Jie Yang.
Guan Chaosheng withdrew from it as soon as his thoughts changed. He called several elders from the Huanyang Sect and said, "Give me the order. There is no need to confront Tianxia. We will retreat later."
Taoist Shusun was startled and said: "Sir, please leave now, in case Tianxia takes advantage of the situation and attacks..."
Guan Chaosheng said: "Tianxia probably won't attack. If you don't worry, just leave a few people here to guard, and the rest will follow orders."
Taoist Shusun and others did not dare to disobey. Among the Huanyang sect, Guan Chaosheng undoubtedly had the highest authority, and he was the only one who could communicate with several ancestors, so they could only respond respectfully.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Guan Chaosheng glanced at the elders, "The ancestor has informed me that a new host needs to be selected. You can decide for yourself. If you have a candidate later, just report the result to me."
Several elders looked at each other and all leaned forward to say yes.
At this time, a rainbow beam from the opposite side came towards this place and landed near Qi Er. Li Mizhen appeared in the distance, slapped him in the face and said, "Guan Taoist friend."
Guan Chaosheng waved his sleeves, and several elders bowed and retreated. After they left, he said: "Fellow Daoist Li must have received the message from the founder of your sect?"
Li Mizhen said: "Exactly."
Guan Chaosheng said: "Fellow Daoist Li, although Tianxia has stopped his offensive now, he may not really let me go. If he doesn't come now, he will come eventually in the future. This world is no longer safe. Before he regains his strength, , we need to find another place to live, and we need fellow Taoists to help here."
Li Mizhen pondered for a moment and then said: "It is best to have Youcheng and Shangchen two Taoist friends to cooperate, so that we can avoid Tianxia's search."
And he also thought that Tian Xia's ability to let them go this time should be the result of the alliance of several upper-level officials. In this case, even if several companies were only nominally in the same place, Tian Xia might be afraid.
Guan Chaosheng didn't care about this. He waved his sleeves and the cane seat appeared behind him. He sat down on it and said, "Then just wait for them."
At this time, Chen Tingzhi and the others also returned to the Xuantian Taoist Palace. After entering the palace, the first Taoist said to the three of them: "Tingzhi, please sit down first."
Chen Tingzhi and the three of them made an official announcement and then each sat down in the court.
The first Taoist said: "Just now, the five chief ministers called me to come and tell them that the factions can leave and there is no need to go to pursue them. I have thought about it carefully and may follow this, but I can't make a decision at the moment, so I have called three of you. Let’s have a discussion when the imperial minister comes back.”
After hearing what he said, all the officials in the court began to think about it.
The five chief ministers generally do not interfere in worldly affairs, but calling the chief minister to speak is actually to convey some of his or her own thoughts downwards.
This may involve a higher-level game, and the specific government officials cannot know it, and there is no way to ask.
However, judging from the meaning revealed by the chief executive, it is obvious that the matter has not reached the point where it is necessary to act accordingly, otherwise the five chief executives would not have used such gentle suggestions, but directly come forward to declare.
According to the rules of Tianxia, if it is not a formal announcement, then if the court officials feel that such a suggestion is inappropriate or they cannot get through the court discussion, they can try to refute it.
Taoist Yu Su said at this time: "Yu Su dares to ask, why does the leader think that he can comply with this trip?"
The first Taoist said slowly: "I think Tianxia needs an enemy."
After hearing this, all the court officials couldn't help but think deeply.
Several court officials nodded slightly.
Tianxia has been harassed by Shangchentian for a long time, but it is precisely because of the existence of Shangchentian, a powerful opponent, that Tianxia has maintained a momentum of moving forward.
After this battle, it can be said that Tianxia has no opponent who can compare with him inside and outside. Although there are evil gods and some unknown things inside, this is just a minor trouble at best, and it is not comparable to Chen Tian's treatment of Tianxia.
threaten.
Once this long-standing formidable enemy is eliminated, even the cultivators may become slack and fights will still occur, but this may turn inward, and some internal factions may compete against each other and consume each other.
For example, the dispute between Zhenxuan and Zhenxuan, which all the court members are well aware of, the dispute over order, or the dispute between creation and cultivation, etc., before these forces reach a certain balance, the harm they can cause to Tianxia
I'm afraid it's far greater than what's caused by external enemies.
But if such a foreign enemy exists, and there is an existence that may threaten Tianxia again at any time, then Tianxia can always maintain the momentum of moving forward without stopping the pace of moving forward, and can also be appropriately less
Internal consumption.
As for whether Huanyang, Shenzhao, and even Shang Chentian will come back one day, everyone in Tianxia has unlimited confidence in Tianxia. They currently occupy the upper level, and Tianxia is there every day
As we become stronger, as long as we don't have any problems, what will happen if these factions come back?
Wei Tingzhi asked cautiously: "Chief, we are willing to retreat. I wonder what Huanyang, Shenzhao and other factions think?"
The first Taoist said: "If we don't move, they will retreat."
Everyone understood that on this point, the higher-ups had already communicated with each other, or reached a certain consensus. However, the initiative is still with them for the time being.
After thinking about it, all the court officials exchanged views with each other. Chen Tingzhi looked at the people sitting on the table and said, "Chief Executive, this matter is not as good as the court decision."
The first Taoist nodded and said: "Yes."
Chen Tingzhi looked at the crowd and said: "This time we conquered Shangchentian. Our original intention was to destroy this sect and prevent foreign sects from entering the world. Now Shangchentian no longer exists, and Shenzhao and Huanyang sects have been blocked.
Outside the world, the goal of this war has been achieved. I agree with the leader's opinion and stop fighting here."
As he spoke, he picked up the jade mallet and knocked the jade chime on the table.
After him, Wei Tingzhi and Chao Tingzhi also picked up jade mallets and struck the jade chimes in front of them.
Zhong Ting said: "After this battle, although Tianxia is stable, Tianxia can advance but not retreat. There is a big enemy outside, which is beneficial to me. It can also be used as a reference, and it can also be used to be vigilant and self-reflective.
Future generations will not forget our current achievements, so Zhong also agrees with the leader's view."
He picked up the jade mallet and struck the chime, then Chong Tingzhi and Changsun Tingzhi also heard the sound of the chime.
After thinking about it, Zhu Tingzhi, Dai Tingzhi and Feng Taoist all agreed with this view and rang the jade chimes on their seats one after another.
At this time, everyone's eyes couldn't help but move to Taoist Yu Su.
Taoist Yu Su said: "I think that since we take action, we should not stop. Only by sweeping away the remaining enemies in one go can we permanently eliminate future troubles. However, what the leader and you said has some truth. These are pros and cons. It is difficult to decide at the moment, so I will not fight with them.
You are arguing." He did not ring the jade chime, but his attitude showed that he did not object.
The first Taoist nodded his head. He picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime in front of him. Wu Tingzhi and Lin Tingzhi also heard the sound of the chime. He looked at everyone and said, "This is settled.
