The war was imminent, and although it would take several months for the inner dynasty's army to reach the Cheng family, they, the chief elders and the peak masters, did not dare to let down their guard at all.
Their most important task now is to select the disciples who will fight and prepare for the battle in advance.
Ordinary disciples send three thousand people to each peak, and the thirty-six peaks have a total of one hundred and eight thousand people.
There are a total of 90,000 immortal-level disciples who can compete with the immortals.
They had to select almost 200,000 people for this battle, so the movement was quite big.
But after all, this was news among the family's top brass. Although the disciples of the Cheng family didn't know what happened, they saw that so many disciples had to be selected and knew that something big must have happened in the Cheng family.
Although these disciples were looking for information everywhere, no one could tell them the truth.
Especially since the top brass of the Cheng family have given orders that the Cheng family's selection of disciples will never be spread outside the Cheng family, this makes people even more curious.
A few days later, Bai Zhengqi brought Ye Wen, Mu Heng and others to find Cheng Yu.
"Master, what happened to our Cheng family? Why are all the peaks selecting disciples? Can we participate?" Bai Zhengqi asked.
After all, he is Cheng Yu's direct disciple, so it is obviously the most appropriate for him to speak.
"You don't need to intervene in this matter, so don't ask any more questions. Practice hard, and you will naturally have a chance in the future!" Cheng Yu looked at these people and said.
"Master, what do you mean, who do we, the Cheng family, want to go to war with?" Ye Wen asked.
He is a smart person, but the head of the family seems to be dissatisfied that their strength is too low.
And there is obviously the intention to fight with others.
But the Cheng family has been selecting disciples these days, which shows that the number of opponents the Cheng family has encountered this time seems to be quite large, otherwise there would be no need to recruit such a large-scale manpower.
"I said, this matter has nothing to do with you, you just need to practice hard." Cheng Yu repeated again.
He did not want these people to participate in this war.
Because these people had broken into the Inner Dynasty, maybe those in the Inner Dynasty still had a certain impression of them.
Although the inner court has now taken action against the Cheng family, they have not sent out all-out troops.
This also shows that they are not confident in catching up with the Cheng family, so they only sent some troops to test.
Since they have no confidence in the Cheng family, many of the reasons should be that they do not understand the Cheng family and the Holy City.
In any case, the Cheng family has not exposed their relationship with the Holy City.
Although they captured a few immortals last time, it may make them suspect that the Cheng family and the Holy City are on the same side.
But the inner court obviously does not have enough evidence now.
Even if they really thought that the Cheng family and the Holy City were on the same side, they would naturally not dare to send out their entire army without understanding.
Perhaps this is also one of the purposes of their operation, which is to determine the specific relationship between the Cheng family and the Holy City.
In this case, he definitely doesn't want to reveal too many secrets for the time being.
As long as the relationship between the Cheng family and the Holy City is not exposed for a day, their internal affairs can only rely on conjecture.
But no matter how much they guessed, even if they really guessed the truth, it was just their own thoughts.
If he were from the perspective of the inner court, he would never know the specific situation of the Cheng family and the Holy City, so naturally he would not dare to start a full-scale war with them easily.
In fact, isn't this the case for him now?
If this inner court was what he saw when he first broke in, would he still be afraid of this inner court?
With his current strength, he could have killed the inner dynasty all by himself long ago. Whether they were ordinary people or immortals, they would have been wiped out long ago.
But because he had too many conjectures about the inner court, and even Wu Zhiyu and the others felt that there might be a true immortal in the inner court, he was even more afraid to mess around.
Therefore, as long as you put yourself in someone else's shoes or put yourself in their shoes, you can actually guess what the current internal government is thinking.
Even if you can't guess everything, you can at least guess half.
So Bai Zhengqi and others who appeared last time must not appear this time.
Once they show up, wouldn't they tell the inner court that the Cheng family and the Holy City are on the same side? Maybe even tell them that the Cheng family is the Holy City?
It is to let them never see clearly and always have to guess by themselves. In this way, the inner court will have all kinds of fears and never dare to send out the entire army, but only dare to conduct many tests.
And now he does not want the entire army of the Inner Dynasty to be dispatched, but he also hopes that they will test more.
Because there will not be many troops sent out for the test, it is easier for them to defeat them one by one.
If we test this a few more times, the inner court will probably not have enough troops to pose much of a threat to the Cheng family even when the entire army is dispatched.
"Master, you have said that your disciple is now capable of fighting even the early stage cultivators of the Void Immortal.
And since the rest of the Cheng family can participate, are we not as strong as them?
The disciples have inquired, and some have chosen junior, middle, or high-level monks. Am I not better than them? "When Bai Zhengqi saw that his master still rejected them, he felt very unconvinced.
Bai Zhengqi is very confident about his current strength.
He felt that his own strength was enough to protect the safety of the Cheng family.
What's more, he is the only direct disciple of the family leader, and it is his responsibility to protect the Cheng family.
Now that something big was happening in the Cheng family, but he was not qualified to participate, of course he was not convinced.
"Master, if I'm not wrong, our enemy this time should be the Inner Dynasty, right? If this is the case, please don't forget, we have been to the Inner Dynasty.
We know more about the internal situation than others, and if we take action, we will have an advantage over others.
So we ask the owner to give us a chance! "Ye Wen also said.
"Master, if this time it is really a civil war, I also hope that the master can give us another chance.
Our mission failed last time and we didn't complete the mission. This has always been a knot in our hearts.
If the owner of the family gives us another chance, we will definitely destroy the passage this time.
Please believe in our determination! Mu Heng said firmly.
"I believe in your determination, but even if you are really allowed to participate this time, you will have no chance to destroy that passage." Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
"Could it be that our goal this time is not the internal dynasty?" Mu Heng asked doubtfully.
"No, the target is naturally the Inner Dynasty, but this time we are not going to the Inner Dynasty, but they are leading people from the Inner Dynasty to our Cheng family!" Cheng Yu explained.
