Chapter 6706
Warning and Expulsion
Tang Zhen had expected that he would not be able to find the controlling artifact.
Since they sensed the danger and knew that Tang Zhen's goal was to control the artifact, how could the elders wait there foolishly?
Escaping with the control artifact is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
The current control artifact is undoubtedly a useless existence. Using it to search for the dark realm is the only chance to reverse the predicament.
This matter is simple to say but extremely difficult to accomplish. Since many conditions cannot be met, the Elders' Council has been unable to locate and search.
If you lose the control of the artifact, you will have no chance at all, and the punishment of the gods will be inevitable.
But then again, even if they possess the controlling artifact, if they cannot recover the dark realm and pay the designated share of resources on time, the great monks of the Senate will not be able to escape.
Such an important item must not be handed over to Tang Zhen and must be kept in his hands at all costs.
When you are really at your wit's end, you can use this item as a bargaining chip, and perhaps you can get some unexpected benefits.
After all, before this, Tang Zhen had mentioned that he could help the sect’s elders resolve the crisis.
The senior members of the Council of Elders did not believe such a promise and thought that Tang Zhen was deliberately defrauding just to get control of the artifact.
Only they know best what kind of crisis they are facing, and they do not think that Tang Zhen has the ability to fight against the gods.
It is very normal to have such thoughts. How can ordinary cultivators possibly be opponents of gods? For the vast majority of cultivators, gods are nothing more than legendary existences, and they will never have the chance to come into contact with them in their entire lives.
Although before this, Tang Zhen defeated the Elder Council Legion in the Dark Realm and even killed the extraterritorial god's clone, which shocked the Elder Council monks.
But even so, I don't think Tang Zhen has the strength to fight against real gods.
Tang Zhen also knew that the senior members of the Elders' Council would not cooperate obediently, and his previous words were just to alert the enemy.
A group of high-level monks are guarding the control artifact, so it must be extremely difficult to snatch it. When the territory of the Senate is attacked, the other party will definitely take the control artifact away and hide it.
The high-ranking monks of the Senate would definitely flee separately instead of gathering together like they did in the territory.
Dispersion has its own advantages. It makes it easier to hide and avoid attacks from the Immortal Tower City.
If the Immortal Tower City is tracked, the difficulty will increase accordingly, as we don’t know which group of monks are carrying the controlling artifact.
For Tang Zhen, this situation couldn't be better and it was also the result he wanted.
Once the enemy's forces are dispersed, the difficulty of seizing and controlling the artifact will inevitably be much lower.
The monks of the Elder Council thought that after taking away the control artifact, Tang Zhen would be helpless.
However, they didn't know that Tang Zhen had the means to locate the controlled artifact. As long as they were in the same world, he could find it even in the most secretive places.
All these things proved that the top leaders of the Council of Elders did not understand Tang Zhen, which is why they kept making wrong decisions and judgments.
Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. What should be said has been said, what should be done has been done, and the other party has been given a chance, but it has not been cherished and utilized.
Having not found what he wanted, Tang Zhen would definitely leave this place, but that does not mean the war is over.
Leaving this territory behind is equivalent to leaving the Elders Council with a stronghold and an opportunity to make a comeback.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, there will be a glimmer of hope.
Tang Zhen's goal was clear, he wanted to drive the sect's elders into a desperate situation, leaving them with no chance of recovery.
Otherwise, once it recovers from its shock, the first bite it will take will surely be towards Tang Zhen, taking crazy revenge on him.
After Tang Zhen leaves, the Immortal Tower City will issue a notice requiring the monks of the Senate to evacuate within a time limit.
At the same time, the world is informed that people can wait on the periphery for a while, waiting for the opportunity to enter and reap the rewards.
After the cleaning of the Immortal Tower City is completed, the territory will be opened up to allow all forces to come here to search and clean it.
No matter how much you gain, it all belongs to you, and Immortal Tower City will never ask for a commission.
Staying in the outer area does not mean just waiting, you can intercept the monks of the Senate.
The escaping elder brother would definitely not come back empty-handed and would most likely have looted some items before fleeing.
Some things do not belong to them, so it is natural that they are robbed. Instead of letting these elders take advantage of them, it is better to do a favor to all forces.
Under the gaze of the elders, Tang Zhen walked out of the ruins of the temple and rode away along the same path.
The elders monks nearby hid themselves obediently, not daring to make any sound. After confirming that Tang Zhen had really left, the elders monks quickly rushed to the temple to see what had happened.
What they saw was that the temple building, which they regarded as a holy place, had now become a mess.
The giant statue was pierced by weapons and buried in the broken bricks and stones, and its head had disappeared.
On the wall next to it, there is a huge scroll painted by a famous artist. The gods on it are ferocious and majestic.
Comparing them with each other at this moment is really a huge irony.
The monks of the Elder Council felt as if the sky was falling and stood there in amazement.
It was thought that the high-level monks gathered inside the temple, waiting to fight the enemy.
Facts have proved that they have all escaped quietly.
The statues controlled by the will of the gods were equally vulnerable; their temples were forcibly demolished and their heads were taken off.
The two major spiritual pillars collapsed at the same time, causing great harm to the monks of the Senate.
"It's over, it's all over!"
There was a monk from the Elder Council who was kneeling on the ground, wailing and crying, looking as if he had lost all hope.
The expressions of the other monks from the Elder Council were equally grim at this moment. After encountering various misfortunes one after another, they all felt at a loss.
What should they do next? The top leaders of the Senate have not given any instructions, and the lower-level monks have no idea what to do?
Even if an order is issued, the current elder brother council may not actually implement it.
The previous incidents caused chaos among the monks of the Elder Council, and their confidence and trust in the top leaders quickly dissipated.
If the top leaders of the Senate issued a war order at this time, it is estimated that not many monks would respond positively.
Participating in the war at this time is really no different from committing suicide.
Especially when the top leaders fled collectively and the temple was destroyed violently, many monks had already thought about escaping.
When the monks were at a loss, a shadow suddenly floated in the air, as if something was hiding behind it.
Then a sound was heard, spreading in all directions, echoing among the buildings and ruins.
The content of the voice was actually a warning to the monks who were staying in the Senate, asking them to leave the place immediately.
In three hours, an attack will be launched here, and any monk will become a target.
The cleanup operation has begun and there will be no mercy.
At this moment, the monks of the Senate all showed angry expressions, accompanied by deep helplessness and resentment.
"The Immortal Tower City is really going too far!"
There were monks waving swords on the roof and roaring towards the sky, wishing they could fight a decisive battle with the Immortal Tower City.
There were also monks with miserable faces, shaking their heads and sighing, "It's over, it's all over, the Elders' Council is completely finished..."
Many monks cursed, while others remained silent, turned around and ran quickly towards the many buildings.
If you don't want to stay here and be killed by the Immortal Tower City, you must escape as quickly as possible.
What if the higher-ups of the Senate get to know about this and order the monks to defend to the death? What should we do then?
Before escaping from this place, you must take your own belongings with you, and it would be best if you can take some valuable things with you.
Such a godsend opportunity must not be missed easily.
Soon, many figures fled in all directions, each one rushing to get ahead, fearing that they would get into trouble if they were too slow.
There were also some figures standing on the ruins, cursing and denouncing those practitioners who had fled from the battlefield.
There are indeed some monks who are truly loyal to the Senate and are unwilling to betray and escape at this time.
It is unknown whether their loyalty will be known to the high-level monks, but they will definitely pay a heavy price for ignoring the warnings.
