Huineng slowly opened his eyes, still with a compassionate look on his face, and said slowly: “Emperor Yi, please don’t misunderstand. These two people came here not because of the instructions of our Buddhist Sect and Taoist Sect, nor have they anything to do with the Elders’ Council of the Ancestor Land. They just heard of Emperor Yi’s reputation, and with hope in their hearts, they came here for help.”

Xuanjizi opened his eyes and nodded slightly, saying, “They are both sincere, and they are sincere for the people of Daoyu. This kind of heart is really rare. Emperor Yi cares about the human race, and I believe he can understand their difficulties.”

Wang Yi snorted coldly: “Consideration? That’s easy to say. Yan Daoyu and Zhao Daoyu have been lost for a long time, and the evil demons from outside the domain are deeply rooted there. If the emperor rashly sends troops, it will undoubtedly send the soldiers of the Taiyi Dynasty to their deaths.”

Huineng put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name: “Emperor Yi, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The hundreds of millions of people who are still alive in Yan Daoyu and Zhao Daoyu are now in dire straits. If Emperor Yi can help them, it will be an immeasurable merit.”

Wang Yi sneered and said, “The situation facing the human race is so serious now. What I need to do is to make long-term plans instead of being brave for a short period of time.”

Xuanjizi stroked his beard and said calmly: “Although what Emperor Yi said makes sense, the ancestral land barrier is now being eroded by the evil demons from outside the domain, and the ancestral land is in danger. If we can take back the Yan Dao Domain and the Zhao Dao Domain, we can disperse the power of the evil demons from outside the domain and relieve the pressure on the ancestral land.”

Wang Yi’s eyes were like torches: “Does the Fifth Grand Sect really make you two sects of Buddhism and Taoism so afraid? To the point of not caring about the overall interests of the human race! Compared with the life and death of the human race, which one is more important, the battle of destiny?!”

Huineng and Xuanjizi’s expressions changed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.

Huineng sighed and said, “Emperor Yi, if you are so suspicious, our Buddhist and Taoist sects can do nothing about it. But our original intention is indeed for the survival of the human race and for the future of the human race.”

Wang Yi waved his hand: “Okay, no need to say more. I will consider the matter of Yan Daoyu and Zhao Daoyu, but not now.”

After saying that, he looked at Yan Beitian and Zhao Qian who were fixed in place, and with a flick of his fingers, he released them from their restraints.

Yan Beitian and Zhao Qian immediately knelt down and begged.

Wang Yi looked at them and his expression eased a little: “I understand your feelings, but this matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. You go back first. Once I have a comprehensive plan, I will consider sending troops.”

Although Yan Beitian and Zhao Qian were disappointed, they did not dare to say anything more. They could only thank him again and leave sadly.

Wang Yi stood up and looked at Huineng and Xuanjizi: “It’s time to end today’s banquet. I still have many things to deal with, so I won’t keep you company.”

Huineng and Xuanjizi quickly stood up to see him off: “We hope that Emperor Yi will seriously consider our proposal, do not miss a great opportunity, and do not let hundreds of millions of people fall into dire straits.”

Wang Yi snorted coldly and strode out of Tianque Tower.

His figure gradually faded away in the night, leaving only Huineng and Xuanjizi standing in front of the building, with different expressions on their faces.

The onlookers gradually dispersed and reported today’s events back to their respective forces.

“Xuanjizi, do you think Emperor Yi will send troops? When will he send them?” Huineng asked softly, looking at the direction where Wang Yi left.

Xuanjizi shook his head: “Emperor Yi is a man of deep thoughts and great means. He is not so easy to be controlled.”

“However, judging from his past deeds, since he has come to the ancestral land, it is impossible for him to sit idly by and watch the affairs of Yan Daoyu and Zhao Daoyu. It is only a matter of time.”

Huineng clasped his hands together and said compassionately: “Even if it makes the millions of people in Yan Daoyu and Zhao Daoyu suffer, if we can force the Five Great Emperors to take action, it will be a great merit for you and me.”

Xuanjizi’s eyes flashed slightly, and he took a step forward and left Tianque Tower.

“Master…” An old monk with white hair and beard slowly came behind Huineng.

Huineng turned around and asked indifferently, “What do the other Dao Realm Emperors say?”

The old monk raised his eyes and said slowly: “They have already agreed…”

“Good, good…” Huineng clasped his hands together, turned around and took the old monk out of Tianque Tower.

……

Yihuang Palace.

Wang Yi sat at his desk and fell into deep thought for a long time.

The attitudes of the Buddhist and Taoist sects, and the pleas of Yan Beitian and Zhao Qian, all made him realize that the situation within the human race was far more complicated than he had imagined.

The threat from foreign demons is growing day by day, the alliance of four tribes is eyeing them covetously, and the other ten thousand tribes are ready to unite. In such a dangerous situation, the human race has its own thoughts and it is difficult to unite.

It is not easy to stand out in such a situation, become the emperor of mankind, and unite the power of the human race.

The Buddhist and Taoist sects must have been hosting a banquet this time with the participation of other Dao domain emperors. They tried to use the affairs of Yan Dao domain and Zhao Dao domain to restrain themselves and suppress the Five Great Sects.

He cannot be led by these forces, otherwise the Taiyi Dynasty will be put in a passive position, and the road to integrating the human race will be filled with unnecessary obstacles.

“No trace!” Wang Yi shouted in a deep voice.

Chen Shu, dressed in black, walked out from the depths of the space with a stern face. He knelt on one knee and said in a low and hoarse voice: “Please give your orders, Emperor Yi.”

As the master of Yanyu Tower, the current intelligence center of the Taiyi Dynasty, his purpose of coming to the ancestral land this time is to build a large intelligence network covering the human race with the ancestral land as the center, so as to radiate to all races and become an invisible network for Emperor Yi to supervise the world.

Wang Yi lowered his eyes and ordered, “Speed ​​up your pace and focus on monitoring the Buddhist and Taoist sects, as well as the movements of the other Dao Domain Emperors. Report any disturbance immediately.”

“Yes!” Chen Shu clasped his fists and accepted the order, then stood up and disappeared into the depths of space.

……

At the same time, in an extremely ordinary attic in a corner of the ancestral land, Xuanjizi and Huineng met again and sat together with several mysterious old men.

“The Emperor Yi is so tough and refuses to compromise on the matter of the Five Emperors. What should we do?” an old man said with a frown.

“Humph, does he think he can keep sitting back and relax if he refuses to agree? We can’t let him rise so easily!” A hint of viciousness flashed in the other old man’s eyes.

“Now the ancestral land barrier is in danger, and the evil demons from outside the domain are constantly encroaching. If Emperor Yi can become the Human Emperor and unite the human race’s strength, he may be able to resolve this crisis. But the Five Taizong behind him is really a hidden danger…” said a more stable old man with a frown.

“We can find a way to create some trouble for Emperor Yi and let him know that if he wants to become the Human Emperor, he must obey our arrangements.” The sinister old man suggested before.

Xuanjizi shook his head slightly and said calmly: “Emperor Yi is not someone who can be easily manipulated. These little tricks cannot shake his mind. Forcing it will only backfire.”

Huineng raised his eyes and said quietly, “Everyone knows that the Fifth Emperor is crazy. It won’t be difficult for him to cause some trouble for Emperor Yi…”

When the others heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they immediately started to make up their conspiracies.

A conspiracy against Wang Yi and Wu Taizong quietly unfolded.

A few days later, a shocking piece of news spread in the ancestral land and quickly spread throughout the human race. It was rumored that the Five Great Sects secretly colluded with the evil demons from outside the domain, attempting to create chaos within the human race, seize the destiny of humanity, and return the world to chaos.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the ancestral land.

All the major forces were talking about this, and their hostility towards the Fifth Emperor suddenly increased.

Some originally neutral forces also began to doubt and even become hostile towards Wang Yi and the Five Emperors.

After Wang Yi learned the news, he looked very calm, without any emotional ups and downs.

Shennongyuan walked slowly into the Yihuang Palace, came to Wang Yi’s desk, bowed and said helplessly: “I didn’t expect that the ancestral land has become… unclear…”

Wang Yi raised his eyes and chuckled, “People’s hearts are full of devils. It’s not easy to see clearly. Sit down and talk.”

Shennongyuan walked over to the chair next to the desk and sat down. He was silent for a while and said in a low voice: “I didn’t expect that at this time of crisis for the human race, there are still people who would abandon the overall interests of the human race for a little benefit…”

Wang Yi poured Shennongyuan a cup of tea and said calmly: “The conflicts of interest in this world have always been like this. Someone wants to use this rumor to suppress the Fifth Grand Master and thus affect my progress in becoming the Human Emperor.”

Shen Nong Yuan took a sip from the teacup, frowning, “Emperor Yi, the rumors are spreading like wildfire. If they are not clarified in time, it will have a great impact on your reputation and that of the Taiyi Dynasty, and will also make other forces more wary of you, or even hostile to you.”

Wang Yi’s expression remained unchanged. He shook his head slightly and said, “The more we clarify, the easier it is to fall into their calculations. Compared to these rumors, the crisis of the ancestral land is the most urgent matter.” Then he smiled and asked, “Do you see the plan behind these rumors?”

Shennongyuan was slightly startled, and slowly said: “The Buddhist and Taoist sects are huge and have a high status in the human race. They have always attached great importance to the destiny of humanity. The rise of the Five Great Sects has undoubtedly broken the original balance. This may be the fundamental reason why they are trying so hard to suppress it.”

“The purpose of the other Dao Realm Emperors is nothing more than to eliminate the threat of you, Emperor Yi. The battle for the Human Emperor has always been like this… using any means necessary.”

Wang Yi nodded slightly: “Yes, they use the safety of the human race as an excuse, but in fact they are doing it to protect their own interests.” As he spoke, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: “I don’t have time to play house tricks with them. Conspiracies and intrigues are nothing to be afraid of in the face of absolute strength and facts.”

Shen Nongyuan asked with concern: “How does Emperor Yi plan to deal with this?”

A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Yi’s eyes: “The threat from the evil demons outside the domain is the most pressing problem at the moment. We can’t be disturbed by these internal disputes. Since they want to play, then let’s play a big game with them!”

“Chen Shu!” Wang Yi said in a low voice.

“I’m here.” Chen Shu appeared, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and waited for orders.

Wang Yi stood up, walked with his hands behind his back, and said sternly: “Send a message to the whole dynasty, and ask them to speed up their preparations for war. At the same time, pay close attention to the actions of the Buddhist and Taoist sects and other evil forces. If there is any behavior that is not conducive to the unity of the human race and the fight against foreign enemies, report it to me immediately and collect evidence.”

“Publicize the dangers of the evil demons from outside the domain in Li Dao Domain, let the people understand the severity of the current situation, and enhance the people’s sense of crisis and cohesion.”

“Also send a message to the Gongfeng Pavilion. Apart from the forces that are suppressing the imperial dynasty, all of them should follow the expeditionary army to Qidao Territory to escort the expeditionary army and eliminate the hidden dangers.”

“Pass the order…”

Commands came out of Wang Yi’s mouth one after another, weaving together a turbulent trend.

“Yes!” Chen Shu’s eyes sparkled. He took the order and left.

Shennongyuan’s brows were still furrowed, and he asked in confusion: “Is Emperor Yi making such an arrangement to silence these people with military merit? But even if the threat of the Four Clan Alliance is resolved, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the crisis faced by the human race.”

Wang Yi smiled and said calmly, “Who said that I am here for military merit?”

Shennongyuan looked puzzled: “If it’s not for military merit, then what is it for? Pulling out most of the forces of the Taiyi Dynasty can indeed temporarily shut these people up. But if the crisis caused by the evil demons from outside the domain is not resolved, the fundamental problem cannot be solved.”

“I have said before…” Wang Yi sneered, “Conspiracies and tricks are nothing to be afraid of in the face of absolute strength and facts!”

Shennong Yuan was slightly stunned, then bowed and said with a smile: “Since Emperor Yi is confident, I will not nag him any more. Bye.” After that, he turned around and left with ease.

Wang Yi’s eyes were solemn as he sat alone in the Yihuang Palace.

This rumor storm against him and the Five Taizong was only the beginning. Hidden behind it was the struggle among various forces for the destiny of humanity and the dangerous battle for the position of Human Emperor.

He would never be swayed by these conspiracies. His goal was to unify the human race and lead it through the calamity of all races and the impending catastrophe of primordial chaos.

“Clap clap clap…”

Amid the applause, an elegant old man with white hair and beard suddenly appeared in front of the desk. His eyes showed the wisdom and vicissitudes of life accumulated over the years.

“Who are you?” Wang Yi narrowed his eyes and became alert.

“My name is Xuanyuan Haoran. I apologize for disturbing you.” The old man had a gentle look on his face, bowed and smiled, giving people a warm feeling.

“Descendant of Wen Zu?” Wang Yi stood up in surprise and bowed in return: “I wonder what advice do you have for me, senior?”

Xuanyuan Haoran stroked his white beard and shook his head slightly, saying, “I don’t deserve your advice. Besides, you already have a strategy in mind. It’s not my turn to give you instructions.”

“Senior, please take a seat!” Wang Yi extended his hand to signal him to take a seat. After seeing the other party take a seat, he poured him a cup of hot tea: “Please have some tea!”

Xuanyuan Haoran raised his cup and sniffed it, squinting his eyes with a look of enjoyment: “The tea is good, and the man is good too. The name of Emperor Yi is well-known, and I see today that he is indeed an extraordinary person.”

Wang Yi raised his glass to signal, and asked tentatively: “Senior, you have great literary luck, and you are the descendant of Wen Zu. I think your status should be high. Why didn’t you show up at the meeting of the Council of Elders?”

Xuanyuan Haoran put down his teacup and said with a faint smile: “I am the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Book Pavilion. My teacher is the Heavenly Book Taoist Master. In order to avoid suspicion, I did not join the Elders’ Council of the Ancestral Land.”

“The Taoist Master of Heavenly Book? Heavenly Book Pavilion?!” Wang Yi’s face became serious and he was very surprised.

The Heavenly Book Pavilion played a significant role in his rise.

The cultivation philosophy of Tianshu Daojun was a great inspiration to him, and even influenced his path of cultivation.

“That’s right!” Xuanyuan Haoran nodded with a smile: “It’s no exaggeration to say that Emperor Yi and my Heavenly Book Pavilion have a very deep connection. The Jixia Academy in the Virtual God Realm is even more in line with the core concept of the Heavenly Book Pavilion…”

Wang Yi’s mind was filled with thoughts, and a bright smile appeared on his face: “Educating the human race is a great merit. The way practiced by the Taoist Master of Heavenly Book is admirable. This emperor admires you very much.”

“Incomparable to Emperor Yi, the educational system built by Xushen Realm with the Jixia Academy is truly admirable and amazing.” Xuanyuan Haoran also smiled brilliantly.

The two of them flattered each other like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, each complimenting and praising the other. (End of this chapter)
