C3493 Fine Balance
When Yinn Gu arrived at Thousand-Star Universe and asked for forgiveness, Meng Fan had been hiding in a corner of the Thousand-Star Universe, not showing his face at all.
However, he clearly knew what had happened outside.
Pei Chenglun and Hee Huaijiao had long since followed Xu Gaang and other Ninth Gate experts back, and were able to provide Meng Fan with information. In addition, the Taoism Sail boat's powerful deduction ability could also effectively estimate everything that happened in the Thousand-Star Universe.
Yinn Gu's arrival was like a giant meteor smashing into the earth. Although it didn't really change much, everyone was worried.
Firstly, Yinn Gu directly asked for an explanation from Defensive Pursuit Team Hall.
However, it was difficult to find a clear explanation for it.
Out of the more than two hundred Defensive Pursuit Team members that participated in the battle, more than half of them were injured, ninety Five Celestial Kings died in battle, and the rest all suffered different degrees of injuries. It could be said that this legion had been destroyed, and only the Ninth Gate members were still considered intact, with almost no losses.
And most importantly, the head of the Thousand-Star Universe, Xin Yue, was dead.
As the highest responsibility, it would be difficult for the highest ranking officer to take responsibility for the matter once a person died. No one could give a definite answer as to what exactly happened and why the frontlines collapsed.
During this period, Yinn Gu's accusation was mainly about two things.
The first, was the collapse of the, and the second, was whether or not Thousand-Star Universe were really "going all out".
The second matter was something very difficult to take responsibility for because nearly half of the Defensive Pursuit Team members had all died in battle. This loss was rather huge, and the ratio was even higher than the other two universes, and the reason was simple as well, because the Thousand-Star Universe front had collapsed first, a large number of beasts had rushed in. This route had become the main battlefield, which was why there had been such a large number of casualties.
Yinn Gu had arrived at the Ninth Gate under two circumstances where it was hard for him to be held accountable for both events.
It was said that when Yinn Gu arrived, Faang Haoyun and the other great elders of Ninth Gate welcomed him with trembling hands.
The loss of Ninth Gate was the smallest, and in the instant the front lines crumbled, almost all of the people from Ninth Gate escaped.
This was the reason why Yinn Gu had arrived at Ninth Gate.
But very quickly, this matter was put to rest.
Because the one who ordered the members of Ninth Gate to retreat was Ye Weiyang, under circumstances where life and death were unknown, Ye Weiyang, as the person with the highest realm and status, was the only leader of the Defensive Pursuit Team, so naturally, everyone had to obey his orders, but Ye Weiyang himself did not leave the battlefield. According to Xu Gaang, the moment Ye Weiyang realized that the battle had collapsed, he gave the order to protect his comrades' lives.
No matter from what angle, Ye Weiyang's actions are hard to criticize.
After Yinn Gu had wandered around the Thousand-Star Universe for a few days, things finally came to a conclusion that everyone could accept.
Shilo Cult, Ninth Gate, and Disciple Hall; the three great forces all pushed the blame onto the already fallen Xin Ruyi.
It was perfect for a dead man to take all the blame.
No one knew how the front line collapsed, but in front of Yinn Gu, the three major powers all chose to protect themselves. Whether it was intentionally or unintentionally, the mighty Celestial King revealed that the establishment of the front line and other issues were all related to Xin Rui's command.
In the end, Yinn Gu accepted this answer and temporarily sealed the Defensive Pursuit Team Main Hall, believing that the Defensive Pursuit Team of the three great universes had a very serious problem. After he reports to the World of Meaning, he will then decide on the Defensive Pursuit Team and whether or not to reconstruct it.
Yinn Gu left.
At the same time, Meng Fan also prepared to return to the Ninth Gate.
The Taoism Sail boat was still deducing the various information in real time.
"There's no need to extrapolate." Meng Fan said lightly, "Yinn Gu didn't come here for an accusation."
Taoism Sail boat: "What do you mean?"
Meng Fan laughed and said, "You have already learned for so many years, but your understanding of the human heart is still not deep. Many years ago, when you and I first came here, Yinn Gu obtained a lot of absolute power from the World of Meaning with the power of the abnormal race. He has completely become the Supreme Emperor of the three great universes, and everyone knows about this matter, to put it bluntly, the abnormal race is naturally a threat in his eyes, but what he truly wants is power. He wants to become a marquis that commands the three great universes, an emperor far away from the emperor. "
Once he said that, the Taoism Sail boat continued to make all sorts of deductions and quickly got a brand-new answer.0
"Causality is intertwined. It is said that the establishment of Defensive Pursuit Team in the three great universes is not something that Yinn Gu is responsible for, rather, World of Meaning directly sent out a Dao Lord to take care of this matter, and Defensive Pursuit Team is only reported to the World of Meaning, so the change in overall strength of Pursuit Team is also determined by the World of Meaning. "
"That's right. World of Meaning did not wish for the Marginal Universe to have a unique power, so they would always control the situation. But in the end, these dukes were just subjects, and they were officials who could not threaten the status of World of Meaning. Compared to the power of these Marginal Universe, in comparison to Ninth Gate, World of Meaning was more vigilant against existences like Yinn Gu. He's a Dao Lord himself and has a long history. According to the legends, he's also a strong practitioner in the the Road To Immortality.
"Like the secular dynasty, a territory, even if there are bandits who occupy the mountains as their king, refugees who are dissatisfied with their rule, and various Taoists and temples, in the end, it is still a local power, a small power, that cannot threaten the emperor. Since ancient times, there have only been a handful of commoners who managed to become kings.
"Yinn Gu is one such official. So once Defensive Pursuit Team is established, you must hold the World of Meaning in your hands, and you cannot let Yinn Gu handle all the affairs of the three great universes. With Defensive Pursuit Team in your hands, it is equivalent to capturing the three strongest Divine Kings in the three universes.
"Yinn Gu wants to make use of this failure to infiltrate Defensive Pursuit Team?"
"As far as I'm concerned, that's the case." Meng Fan smiled, "World of Meaning is obviously a very intense battle in open and in secret. From many years ago when a large number of Dao Lords were exiled until now, when the beast race was in danger, the power struggle in World of Meaning is probably even more intense than the limit that you and I can imagine. What we see now is only the tip of the iceberg floating on the surface of the water.
"But no matter what kind of battle, the core of it, is that the Road To Immortality that everyone knows about."
"Right."
