Lin Tianyuan took out two paintings and returned to the Forbidden City.
There are two paintings in the Hall of the Council.
Both paintings were folded. Even though Lin Tianyuan did not believe that the two paintings could solve the problems he faced about the Buddhist sect, he did not dare to open them.
He was still listening to Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Tianyuan thought for a moment before he ordered. "Call Cangshan and Beihai over here."
The eunuch immediately went to look for them. Cangshan and Beihai were a pair of brothers.
They were unaffiliated cultivators, and yet, they were extremely talented. As soon as the world's spiritual energy recovered, they broke through to the Martial Sage Realm.
With Lord Taiping's rebellion, Lin Tianyuan felt an overwhelming crisis and started recruiting these unaffiliated cultivators.
The two of them had come, and they had been working for Lin Tianyuan ever since.
Lin Tianyuan prepared many resources for them, and they each took what they needed.
After a while, two old men entered.
Each of them cupped their fists and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"I hope you two can go to Jiangnan." Said Lin Tianyuan.
Cangshan and Beihai looked at each other, they were reluctant to obey this order. "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to, but the Shaolin and Xuankong Shrines are extremely powerful. Although we brothers are Martial Sage cultivators, we are only at the Knowing Life step..."
"We are not enough to fight two great powers that have existed for thousands of years" Cangshan said bitterly.
He did not want to go to Jiangnan.
Is there anyone who does not know what happened between the Buddhist sect and the Ming Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty?
Asking them to go to the Jiangnan area right now was tantamount to sending them to their deaths, right?
They lived a comfortable life under Lin Tianyuan and were also willing to do some dangerous tasks for him. But there is a difference between certain danger and death.
Lin Tianyuan knew what the two men were thinking.
Therefore, he said, "I didn't send you there to deal with the two powerful factions, but for you to read the imperial edict. After the two powerful factions accepted it and agreed to it, there should be no need to fight.
Cangshan and Beihai were unsure.
If the Buddhist sects received an imperial decree, they would not need to fight. But what if they disagree?
Beihai was a fat old man. He was straightforward and he could not help but ask. "What if ... what if they disagree?"
Lin Tianyuan took the two paintings that Lin Jiufeng had given him and said, "One painting for each of you. If they don't agree, open the painting."
Cangshan and Beihai stared at the painting in Lin Tianyuan's hands with suspicious expressions on their faces.
Whatisthis?
These two paintings were enough to care for two powerful factions whose teachings had been passed down for thousands of years?
Similar to Lin Tianyuan - they could not believe it. Because of this, they still refuse to agree.
"These two paintings were painted by the senior in the imperial capital."
Seeing that they refused to agree, Lin Tianyuan had to tell them the truth.
Cangshan and Beihai looked at Lin Tianyuan in surprise.
"Is that the senior from ten years ago?" Cangshan asked excitedly.
Ten years ago, when the world was still in recovery, both Cangshan and Beihai were not Martial Sage Realm cultivators back then.
But they heard about the terrifying seniors in the imperial capital who killed nine Martial Sages with one sword blow.
More than ten years have passed since then.
Both of them were already Martial Sage Realm cultivators at the Knowing Life step. How strong was that senior now?
Cangshan said excitedly, "That senior actually said that?"
"Yes. I asked him how to calm the matter in Jiangnan. He told me that this was all I had to do and that's why I asked you to leave." Lin Tianyuan told them the truth.
If he didn't tell the truth, no one would be stupid enough to leave.
If he were to send a less powerful person out of the two, it would be worth it. They might not even be able to enter the gates of the Shaolin and Xuankong Temples.
Cangshan and Beihai looked at each other before they nodded in understanding.
"Your Majesty, we will accept this task" Cangshan said solemnly.
Lin Tianyuan was overjoyed as he said hurriedly. "Don't worry, I will tell the world about this matter, so everyone will know that you will go to Jiangnan by imperial decree."
"There shouldn't be a problem."
Cangshan and Beihai nodded in agreement.
By telling the world, there will be additional guarantees for their safety.
"Also, don't open these two paintings before the right moment. Lives will be lost, so you have to remember. "Lin Tianyuan reminded them.
This was also a reminder of Lin Jiufeng to him. The expressions on the faces of the two immediately turned serious.
“I will write an imperial decree for you now. You will each go to one of the Buddhist sects."
Lin Tianyuan began writing imperial edicts.
He thought about it for a while and with a flick of his sleeve, he wrote a loud reprimand letter as his mind exploded like a fountain.
"Bring to Jiangnan. I'll tell the world soon."
Lin Tianyuan handed over the imperial edict to them.
Cangshan and Beihai lowered their heads and retreated. With the imperial edict and painting of Lin Jiufeng in hand, they headed to Jiangnan.
After they left the Forbidden City, the Yuhua God Dynasty began to publicize the matter. Ming Emperor Lin Tianyuan wrote two imperial decrees.
They had to be taken and read by the two Martial Sages at the Shaolin and Xuankong Temples in Jiangnan.
The entire world was waiting for Lin Tianyuan's counterattack! waiting for the Yuhua God Dynasty counterattack.
As soon as the news was released, it spread throughout the Country like wildfire. It spread to Jiangnan faster than the speed of Cangshan and Beihai's journey.
They were Martial Sages and they moved very fast.
But before they could even reach Jiangnan, the news had already spread throughout Jiangnan. Both the Shaolin Temple and the Xuankong Temple received the news.
The Shaolin Temple remained silent as if it had heard nothing. They do not express any opinion. They had built their own temples and under their command, none of them would be destroyed.
Unlike the Shaolin Temple, the people from Xuankong Temple welcomed the news.
"Come to my Xuankong Temple, eliminate three thousand problems, and forget about the problems of the world. We'll save these two messengers." This is a blatant threat.
Xuankong Temple was as arrogant as ever. They were monks, but they were arrogant and domineering. They've always been like this.
When Cangshan and Beihai arrived at Jiangnan, it was already two days later.
In just two days, the rumors in Jiangnan were widespread.
Countless descendants from powerful factions, sects, and even descendants of noble families, as well as unaffiliated outstanding cultivators, had gathered at the Shaolin and Xuankong Temples.
They wanted to know how these two Buddhist sects would deal with Emperor Ming's envoys and how they would deal with the imminent imperial edict.
The crowd was crowded and alive.
Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of Cangshan and Beihai.
The two men were surprised.
"The situation seems to have escalated" Cangshan said. He looks agitated.
"What are you afraid of?"
"We have a painting given by that senior. I believe they will succeed." Beihai trusted Lin Jiufeng.
It was no small feat for Lin Jiufeng to gain her trust without ever meeting her before.
"I believe him too. Since we're already here, there's no reason to back off."
Cangshan took a deep breath and asked, "Where did you go?"
Beihai reached out her hand and said firmly, “I'll go to Shaolin Temple!"
"Then, I will go to Xuankong Temple. Let's split up here!"
Cangshan cupped his fists as a sign of farewell.
"Be careful!" Beihai said solemnly
"We have a senior painting. Everything's gonna be okay." Cangshan smiled and said confidently.
They headed to different places and both arrived at the foot of the mountain where the temple was at the same time.
Many people saw their arrival.
All eyes are on them.
The doors of the Shaolin Temple and Xuankong Temple also opened, allowing the two to enter.
Cangshan and Beihai held the imperial edict in their hands and with Lin Jiufeng's painting in their pockets - they stepped firmly on the stairs.
Imperial Capital, Cold Palace!
Lin Jiufeng lay on the ice jade bed.
He closed his eyes and calmed his mind, feeling calm.
"Have you broken through to the Human God Realm?" the white cat asked curiously.
This was not the first time the white cat had asked this question to Lin Jiufeng in the past few days.
But Lin Jiufeng never answered him directly.
However, the white cat survived.
“You will know in about two days," said Lin Jiufeng.
