The colorful light in front suddenly dispersed, and Tai Yu could clearly see the battle situation within the array.
He saw Ning Qingman in a precarious position under the Demon Spear, and saw Li Fei being suppressed by the River Guardian Heavenly King and the Profound Heart True Monarch....
The Profound Heart True Monarch deliberately let Tai Yu see this because the scales of victory had already tilted in their favor, and once Tai Yu saw clearly, he could easily make a decision.
"Tai Yu——"
The voice of the River Guardian Heavenly King rang out from within the array, full and loud, echoing across the entire battlefield.
He did not conceal what he was about to say:
"You've seen it now, all you need is to join us in killing Li Fei, and the world will be at peace!"
Tai Yu was silent.
He set off earlier than Ning Qingman, was closer than Ning Qingman, yet arrived later, simply because he couldn't risk everything like Ning Qingman.
He had to ensure that when he reached the battlefield, his condition was at least maintained at seventy percent, so that no matter what the situation, he had the ans to protect himself and could withdraw at any ti.
Because he had too many concerns, Tai Yu had to be extrely careful when making decisions.
Before coming, Li Fei had conveyed Ye Ze'an's two sentences to him in the mountain gate of the Daluo Sect.
One of them said, if Tai Yu chose to help the Buddhists, the odds were fifty-fifty.
But if Tai Yu chose to help the Da Lan Dynasty, then the Da Lan Dynasty would surely win.
But now, when he arrived, the situation was completely contrary to what Ye Ze'an had said!
Now if Tai Yu chose to help the Da Lan Dynasty, victory was not guaranteed.
And if he chose to join forces with the Buddhists to kill Li Fei, Li Fei was sure to die!
Even if he didn't take action and just watched, today's decisive battle would probably be a loss for the Da Lan Dynasty!
He only needed to wait until Li Fei was dead, and then join hands with the Profound Heart True Monarch to stabilize the situation, and the tripartite power structure would be established.
"Tai Yu!"
Above the Sky Do, a dignified voice sounded.
It was Qin Ziheng using the Transmission divine skill opened by Li Fei with [Jing'an], transmitting his voice across thousands of miles using the national fortune:
"Today, as long as you are willing to lend a helping hand, I, as the Emperor of Great Blue, promise you the position of State Preceptor. From now on, the Daluo Sect and the Da Lan Dynasty will share glory and disgrace together!"
Different situations call for different offers.
When Li Fei went to the Daluo Sect to negotiate, Qin Ziheng only promised a hundred years of peace for the Daluo Sect.
Only because at that ti the Da Lan Dynasty was in an advantageous position, no matter how you looked at it, the future was a sure-win situation.
But now, Li Fei was in a dangerous situation, his life could be lost at any mont, so Qin Ziheng openly promised Tai Yu the position of State Preceptor.
However, whether it's a hundred years of peace or the position of State Preceptor.
Ultimately, it cannot fundantally solve one problem —
The trust issue.
The trust between Li Fei and Emperor Hong Guang was built through repeated heavy usage and repeated astonishing achievents.
Even so, transitioning to the new monarch, without the letter left by Emperor Hong Guang, if not for the Da Lan Dynasty facing a desperate situation, having to rely on Li Fei, the trust between the monarch and his minister would be hard to be as deep as it is now.
The human heart is always the hardest thing to fathom.
Throughout history, kings highly valued promises, but at the sa ti, devalued promises. There are a myriad of ways to not keep a promise.
What about the position of State Preceptor? Back when the Great Blue was first established, needing to rely on Taoism, the masters of the Taoist Three Sects nearly rotated as the Great Blue National Master.
When the Great Blue Ancestor ascended the throne, he also promised that Taoism would share honor and disgrace with the Da Lan Dynasty.
But what about now?
There was trust between Taoism and the Da Lan Dynasty, but later, it was more about suspicion, defense, and even hatred!
Relying solely on the position of State Preceptor or a promise, it is hard to rebuild trust between the two.
"Tai Yu!"
After the Emperor of Great Blue finished his promise, the voice of the River Guardian Heavenly King rang out again, he also said only one sentence this ti:
"Do you want to beg for rcy from the Da Lan Dynasty in the future, waiting for soone else to decide the fate of the Daluo Sect, or do you want to hold destiny in your own hands?"
At the sa ti, the Profound Heart True Monarch privately transmitted sound to Tai Yu:
"Brother Tai Yu of Tao, if we kill Li Fei now, you and I can stabilize the situation together. From now on, the world is divided into three!
The potential of Buddhism is exhausted, the Da Lan Dynasty will be without Li Fei, and we Taoists still have at least two people who have the chance to break through the realm and reach the top within ten years. In the future, it will be a prosperous ti for Taoism. Qing Xu failed to establish the Tao Country, but we might succeed!"
Tai Yu's eyes shifted.
Just at this mont, Qing Ding, attached to him, suddenly felt sothing, soone was communicating with him through the 'Dream Realm', forming a subconscious communication.
At this ti and place, only one person could do such a thing.
"Uncle Master."
Qing Ding used Heart and Spirit to communicate with Tai Yu.
"What is it?"
"Li Fei just transmitted a ssage to through the 'Dream Realm', asking to tell you that the Imperial Palace of the Da Lan Dynasty holds a Daoism of the Nether River Ancestor's [Forget River], and if you are willing to lend a hand, he promises to hand over the [Forget River] Daoism to the Daluo Sect afterward."
"What?"
For a mont, Tai Yu didn't quite understand.
What does it an that there is a Daoism in the Imperial Palace? Moreover, the Nether River Ancestor is dead, how could the [Forget River] Daoism still be preserved?
The communication in the Heart and Spirit World was extrely rapid, and Qing Ding explained this matter to Tai Yu in an instant.
Originally, he and Li Fei had made a vow, he couldn't disclose a single word of it.
But monts ago, Li Fei actively lifted the vow between them through the 'Dream Realm', so he could now reveal everything.
"So this is the trump card of the Da Lan Dynasty."
Tai Yu understood.
Using the [Forget River] Daoism to ally with a Ninth Grade Beast, he just didn't know why that Ninth Grade Beast had not helped the Da Lan Dynasty again, seemingly indifferent to Li Fei's life or death now.
"Li Fei spoke clearly, he also doesn't know how to directly use this Daoism to break through to the top of the realm, the related secret technique is held by the Ninth Grade Beast. However, he promised you, after this battle, even if he has to go to the Extre Abyss once more, he will acquire the related secret technique!"
