Chen Yu considered briefly, then said, "Head Executive Feng holds the authority over apprehension and foreign affairs, and is already responsible for communicating with outside sects. This matter may be entrusted to Head Executive Feng."
Daoist Feng calmly bowed with clasped hands. "Feng accepts the decree."
The other Head Executives raised no objection. Though they did not believe the two Origin Xia envoys would so easily turn to Celestial Xia, there was no harm in trying. In any case, there was nothing to lose.
Head Executive Chong said, "Chong has a question. Zhu Wujiang still has two Origin Xia envoys with him. Although they have both taken Calamity-Avoiding Pills, making them swear an oath would not be difficult. Yet Origin Xia seems not to have done so. What is the reason for this?"
Chen Yu said gravely, "Because contracts can be dissolved by certain unique treasures that suppress the Dao. For ordinary powers, a contract may serve as proof, but when facing a cultivation realm that possesses treasures that suppress the Dao, it may not be reliable. Calamity-Avoiding Pills, however, are possessed only by Origin Xia. Presumably, no one has yet found a way to break them."
After Daoist Zhuang, he now controlled the Clear Firmament Ark and held the greatest portion of the Clear Vault Aura. His understanding of treasures that suppress the Dao had grown far deeper than before, and in this regard, he surpassed all the other Head Executives.
Head Executive Lin then said, "Chief Executive, should we notify the fellow cultivators above the Sea of Clouds about Origin Xia?"
Chen Yu nodded. "Send word to them. They will learn of it sooner or later. Also, inform Fellow Daoist You and Fellow Daoist Yan in passing. Have them come to my Dao palace tomorrow."
