The elders in charge knew that there was no way to hide this matter from the owner, so they all went up to Tianqiong Peak worriedly.

Ever since Cheng Yu broke into Tianqiong Peak, the guards at Tianqiong Peak have become even tighter.

Both the people who go up the mountain and the guards themselves are inspected very strictly.

However, for the few chief elders, it is very easy for them to go to Tianqiong Peak. But apart from them, it is very difficult for them to bring a few people up the mountain.

"I really don't know how that guy sneaked up the mountain and broke into the back mountain." Feeling the tightness and oppression of Tianqiong Peak, the fourth elder said with deep emotion.

"That guy is very powerful, and there will always be some ways we don't know to get up the mountain without anyone noticing.

Even the Lord didn't find him, let alone us!" said the second elder.

"When we meet the Lord later, we must put the responsibility for the chaos in the world on this person, otherwise we may all be punished by the Lord!" the third elder reminded everyone with some worry.

"The Lord is not stupid. If we blindly put all the responsibilities on that person, it will make the Lord dissatisfied with us.

We should understand that we have no evidence to prove that it is really that guy who is behind this and causing chaos in the world.

But it is undeniable that we have indeed failed in our responsibilities and failed to take charge of the world.

So we must admit our fault, but we must also appropriately direct the responsibility to that person, so that the Lord will not place the main responsibility on us!" said the fifth elder.

"Well, the fifth elder is right. In front of the Lord, we must not blindly shirk our responsibilities. That will only make the Lord more dissatisfied with us!" The First Elder nodded and spoke.

In the entire inner dynasty, they were the dignified elders in charge, and anyone who saw them would not tremble with fear.

But conversely, they felt the same way before the Lord.

Because they know very well that as long as the Lord is willing, they can be wiped out in an instant.

Therefore, he also felt that he could be a little cautious in front of the Lord, but he could not be too cautious, otherwise things might turn out to be the opposite.

"Everyone must have the same attitude before the Lord, otherwise we will all suffer!" said the second elder.

In fact, in the entire inner dynasty, the last thing they wanted to face was the Lord.

Because every time they faced the Lord, they were extremely nervous and felt as if they were facing the God of Death.

As long as they are not careful, they may fall into the abyss and walk with death.

When they arrived at the Lord's Mansion, they entered the mansion under the leadership of the maid.

At this moment, they are no longer the majestic elders in charge in the eyes of others. They are just like a few children who have done something wrong and have to face their parents. They don't even dare to express their anger.

In a wide hall, there is a curtain in front.

Although it was just a door curtain, none of them dared to raise their heads.

"Greetings to the Lord!" The five people knelt on the ground respectfully.

"What's going on?" A voice without any emotion came out, which made several elders in charge tremble in their hearts.

"We are here to plead guilty to the Lord!" the great elder said.

"What are you guilty of?"

"Due to our poor management, the foreign dynasties were disloyal. Many foreign dynasties went to war and annexed other foreign dynasties. Now that the world is in chaos, please ask the Lord to punish you!" the great elder said with great shame.

"When I entrust the world to you, I trust you. But now that the world is in chaos, you have indeed betrayed my trust in you."

As soon as the Lord's words came out, the hearts of several elders in charge immediately became tense.

Does the Lord really intend to punish them?

Several elders couldn't help but feel worried.

"How do you think I should punish you?" Just when a few people were worried, the Lord spoke again.

"This..." Several elders were even more stunned. They did not expect that the Lord actually planned to punish them.

Originally, they planned to push that person up, but now in this situation, they seemed to be reluctant to bring it up on their own initiative, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.

"Lord, we are indeed to blame for the world's loss of power. But the main reason why the world is like this now is because of the man behind the Holy Dynasty, who broke into Tianqiong Peak back then.

That person!" the fifth elder said bravely.

"Have you found that person yet?" the Lord asked.

"Not yet, but this matter was all controlled by him behind the scenes. As a result, the world was in chaos, and the foreign dynasties were also out of our control." The fifth elder said.

"Do you have any evidence?" the Lord continued to ask.

"This... we haven't found it yet! But we believe that this matter is definitely related to the Holy Dynasty!" The fifth elder was suddenly sweating profusely.

"Bold!" But the Lord suddenly shouted loudly.

"My Lord, please calm down! My Lord, please calm down!" Several people were so frightened that they trembled all over and fell to the ground, not daring to move.

At this time, everyone was very nervous and didn't know why the Lord was angry.

"Do you think you can cover up your incompetence and crimes under the guise of a holy pilgrimage?" the Lord's very majestic voice came out.

"My subordinates dare not!"

"After all these years, you still haven't found the whereabouts of that man and the Holy Dynasty. Now that the world is in chaos, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" The Lord's voice was very cold.

The elders in charge were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, because they had sensed murderous intent from the Lord's voice.

"Please, Lord, have mercy!" the elders shouted urgently.

Sure enough, it is useless to try to be clever in front of the Lord.

Their initial plan had no effect, and the Lord would not believe their words at all.

After all, they really have no news about the Holy Dynasty, and there is no evidence that the Holy Dynasty is the source of trouble in the world.

They just wanted to use this to divert the Lord's attention and at the same time reduce their own guilt.

But they failed in the end.

Now I don't know if the Lord really wants to kill them, they are indeed very scared.

To others, the status of their presiding elder is very high, but in front of the Lord, the presiding elder is nothing.

This is just an identity given to them by the Lord. If they cannot satisfy the Lord, the Lord can replace them at any time.

"I'll give you another five years to find that person. Otherwise, just leave your head here!" The Lord gave them an ultimatum.

"Yes! We will definitely find that person within five years, but..." Everyone looked pale.

Five years is not a long time, because the world is so big. Even if you just run a little bit, it will take you more than half a year or even more than a year.

But five years is not a short period of time. After all, this time is enough to travel across the entire world of cultivation.

It's just that finding that person can't be accomplished by traveling across the entire world of cultivation.

If a person wants to hide, in such a huge world, how can he find it just by looking?

What's more, that person is so powerful, even if they find him, they can't bring him back?

"Just what?" the Lord asked.

"My lord also knows that the strength of that man is only inferior to yours, lord. Even if we find him, we will not be able to bring him back.

So..." the great elder said in a very embarrassed tone.

"There are several information pearls here. As long as you find that person and inject spiritual power into this pearl, I will know where you are.

So you just need to help me find the person, and then send a message to me, and I will find you!" After the Lord finished speaking, five aqua beads flew out from behind the door curtain.

Five people each caught a bead, but they couldn't see that the bead had such a magical effect.

However, they believed that the Lord would not deceive them, but once they received the bead, they seemed to have to personally search for the whereabouts of that person in the next five years.

Moreover, they cannot completely leave their lives to the people below, they must go out and search for them themselves.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed, but their hearts were full of bitterness.

"Lord, now those outer dynasties who betrayed our inner dynasty are attacking everywhere and annexing other outer dynasties, causing chaos in the world.

If we go out to look for that person, who will deal with these foreign affairs?" the fifth elder asked boldly.

In fact, he didn't want to find anyone. After all, their plan was to make it easy for them to reap the benefits after conflicts between the foreign dynasty and the holy dynasty.

But now the Lord wants them to find that person, so they can only search for him all over the world.

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the outer court. You just need to help me find that person!" the Lord said.

"Lord, actually I have an idea. Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome. We can even wipe out the entire Holy Dynasty easily!" The fifth elder still had some final stubbornness.

Anyway, that's it. If they can't find anyone within five years, they will have no choice but to die.

But in his opinion, there is a high probability that they will not be able to find that person within five years.

So it's better to say what they want to say. If the Lord agrees, at least they won't have to go out to find anyone, and they can even live a few more years.

Who knows what the situation will be like in a few years?

Maybe their plan really worked, and wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

"Tell me about it!"

"Lord, it's like this. Although we currently have no concrete evidence to prove that this internal and external strife is related to the Holy Dynasty, based on the information we had before the chaos, they should indeed be connected to the Holy Dynasty.

.

Even these foreign dynasties have already seduced the Holy Dynasty, so if we can use their connections, we can actually find out the Holy Dynasty without any effort!" said the fifth elder.
