In the end, Elder Wu and several other elders were deemed by Xuanguang Waichao to have failed in their responsibilities and caused great losses to Xuanguang Waichao. Therefore, Xuanguang Waiwang asked them to face the wall and think about it for three years without releasing any cultivation resources within three years.
They were relieved at this result. Thinking about it is nothing, after all, it is common for them to practice in seclusion for several years.
For them, the most important thing is the issue of cultivation resources. Although they don't get many resources from the dynasty, because their requirements for resources at this level are too high, and there are not many that are useful to them.
It is precisely because of this that they also cherish these resources very much.
But they also know that even if they did fail the mission because the enemy is too powerful, even if they change any other person or several people, they still believe that the result will be the same, but no matter what, they, as such The leader of a mission, they must be punished for it.
Moreover, this kind of punishment was already very lenient to them, at least the foreign king did not directly take their lives.
So, just a little bit, they deserve to be thankful.
"Thank you so much for your grace!" the three of them said sincerely.
King Xuanguang also knew very well that those people were already dead, and these three elders were very strong, so they could not be killed. In the end, the only loss would be the strength of the entire dynasty.
In addition, the hatred between the two foreign countries has been forged, but because the distance between the two foreign countries is too far, it is definitely unrealistic to send large-scale troops to the Chihuo Foreign Dynasty.
So for the time being, he could only write a letter to test the other party's reaction and attitude. If they directly accepted it, everything would be easier to talk about.
But if they don't admit it, things get complicated.
"King Wai, what if the Chihuo Waichao does not acknowledge what we have done in our Xuanguang Waichao through a letter?" said the third elder Fei Ning.
"King Wai, I estimate that the Chihuo Wai Dynasty will most likely not admit this matter. If not, their people might not have to disguise themselves like this." Second Elder He Huai said.
"Actually, the biggest problem between us and the Chihuo Outer Dynasty is that the distance between the two outer dynasties is too far. If they refuse to admit it, we can't even go to war with them!" said the Great Elder Yi Ding.
In terms of time, it was at least half a year before the letter from the Outer King arrived at the Chihuo Outer Court.
It is difficult to send troops to fight at such a long distance.
If we really send troops, no matter whether we win or lose, the consequences will be disastrous.
Maybe by the time they come back, their Xuanguang foreign dynasty will have been annexed by other foreign dynasties.
So this matter sounds simple, but in fact it is a very complicated matter.
"If it doesn't work, I think we can only report this matter to the inner court and let the Lord make the decision for us!" said the second elder.
"Who is the Lord? How could he come forward for such a trivial matter as ours?" the great elder said, shaking his head.
Obviously, given how high the Lord's status is in the hearts of people in various foreign dynasties, it is impossible for him to interfere in their mundane affairs.
"But we are all members of the dynasty. Now that the Red Fire Outer Dynasty has caused us such great losses, the inner dynasty will always seek justice for us, right?" said the second elder.
"The inner dynasty has always allowed the various outer dynasties to fight against each other. Over the years, everyone should have seen that many outer dynasties have even led to wars due to various conflicts, and the inner dynasty rarely intervenes.
Therefore, if we place our conflicts with Chihuo Waichao on the Inner Dynasty, we may never be able to get justice from Chihuo Waichao! "The great elder said.
"Elder Yi, do you have any good ideas to make Chi Huo Wai Chao willing to make up for our losses?" Xuan Guang Wai Chao said looking at the Great Elder.
"After something like this happened, I think even if these titles from the Outer King were passed to the hands of the Scarlet Fire Outer King, they might not admit it.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Chiyan Waichao to make up for us. "The great elder said.
"Elder Yi, doesn't it mean you didn't say anything?" Fourth Elder Fang Xiang said.
"This is the fact before us now. It is really difficult for us to ask Chihuo Waichao to make any compensation to us. Can they afford the compensation to thousands of elites?" the great elder said.
"Elder Yi, but we have to find a way out, otherwise the death of these thousands of elites will be forgotten? We can't suffer this loss in vain, right?" said the third elder.
"Although it is indeed difficult for us to let the Chihuo Waichao make up for us, if we say nothing and do nothing, then if the other Waichao knows about this, wouldn't it mean that we, the Xuanguang Waichao, are too spineless? "The great elder said.
"Then what does Elder Yi think should be done about this matter?" King Xuanguang asked anxiously.
"Outside King, I really don't have any good solution now. Although there is a feasible solution, the price is not small!" The elder thought for a while and said.
"What method? Let's talk about it first, and everyone can brainstorm ideas. Moreover, as long as we, Xuan Guang Wai Chao, can let out this breath, what's the harm even if it costs a little?" Xuan Guang Wai Wang said.
There is a conflict between two foreign countries so far apart. It is indeed not that easy to regain face.
However, he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.
This Immortal Mirror Mountain is the territory of their Xuanguang Waichao. Logically speaking, the treasures in this territory should belong to his Xuanguang Waichao.
Moreover, even if they compete for strength, there is no reason why they cannot compete with others in their own territory.
But the fact is so incomprehensible that people from Chihuo Waichao actually ran to their territory and snatched away the treasure.
What's even more despicable is that most of the people they sent out were killed or injured, and only less than one-tenth came back. How could he breathe this sigh of relief?
Therefore, he hoped to teach Chihuo Waichao some lessons, not only to make up for the losses of Xuanguang Waichao, but also to hand over all the treasures of Immortal Mirror Mountain.
Otherwise, he will not give up on this matter easily.
"My idea is this. Let's wait for their reply from Chi Huo Wai Chao. If they admit this matter, then it will be easy for us to solve it.
If they don't admit it, then we have to find the inner court first! "The great elder said.
"But didn't you just say that the inner dynasty would not interfere in the conflict between our two outer dynasties?" said the fourth elder.
"In my opinion, it is indeed unlikely that the Inner Dynasty will interfere in this matter. But no matter what, we are all subordinates of the Inner Dynasty. Whether they intervene or not is one thing. Whether we should report to them is another. One more thing.
If we don't communicate with them internally first, and we directly fight with Chihuo externally, then internally they will feel very shameless. We don't take their internally seriously, then it's our fault. .
Moreover, this will make the inner court dissatisfied with our Xuanguang outer court, which is not a good thing.
Therefore, the inner court must know about this matter first. If they are really unwilling to intervene, then we will make the next arrangements! "The great elder explained.
"Yes, what Elder Yi said makes sense. Although the Inner Dynasty does not like to interfere in the conflicts between the Outer Dynasty, the strength of the Inner Dynasty is not something we can easily offend.
If the inner court does not make the decision for us and we take action to regain face ourselves, then the inner court will not be able to say anything.
But, what good method does Elder Yi have next? "Xuanguang Waiwang nodded and said.
"King Wai, my plan is this. We are too far away from the Chihuo Wai Dynasty, so we cannot send troops directly.
But we can cooperate with other foreign dynasties around Chihuo Waichao and let them put pressure on Chihuo Waichao for us. Maybe we can easily make Chihuo Waichao succumb even if we don't have to go to war on this matter! "The great elder said.
"Cooperate with the foreign dynasties around the Chihuo Waichao? But we have no friendship with them, so how can they be willing to cooperate with us and put pressure on the Chihuo Waichao?" King Xuanguang asked in confusion.
"You can't say that. Although we don't know much about the foreign people in that place, and we really don't have any friendship, isn't there such a thing as friendship, which comes after a few visits?
That’s why I just said that if we do this, we will probably have to pay a price. "The great elder explained.
"I see, we just want them to help us put pressure on Chihuo Waichao. The price is probably not small!" King Xuanguang understood what the great elder meant, but he was just worried that the price would be beyond his ability to bear. There are some losses outweighing the gains.
"But if we want to make the Chihuo Wai Dynasty surrender, this is the fastest and most convenient way. The Wai Wang also knows that if we directly send troops to the Chihuo Wai Dynasty, it will be almost impossible. This is too dangerous! "The great elder said.
"Well, what do you think about this matter?" King Xuanguang nodded and looked at the other elders and asked.
"King Wai, I think Elder Wang's idea is very good, but I think the price is indeed too high. Think about it, if we only invite one Wai Chao, he may not be able to provide Chi Huo Wai Chao with any help. pressure.
Then we have to win over a few more foreign dynasties, but in this case, the cost will be difficult to estimate. "The second elder said.
"King Wai, I don't think this matter can be rushed. It will take at least half a year for us to be away from Chi Huo Wai Chao. For such a long time, instead of waiting here for a reply from Chi Huo Wai Chao, we might as well send some people first. Go to Chihuo Waichao and the surrounding Waichao to inquire about their situation.
If there are some Wai Chao and Chihuo Wai Chao around who have conflicts and hatreds, we may be able to persuade them without paying too much of a price. "The fourth elder suggested.
"Elder Fang's suggestion is a good one. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. We don't know much about the foreign dynasty over there now. If we can find the enemies of the Chihuo foreign dynasty, it will definitely be easy to convince them!" The second elder agreed. road.
