Councilor Quan saw Councilor Xiang volunteer for the task. After studying him for a few moments, he said, "Councilor Xiang, how do you intend to deal with Celestial Xia's methods that can harm one's true body?"
After Celestial Xia invaded Origin Xia's void domain, both the Upper and Lower Halls of the Origin Upper Hall had been discussing countermeasures. Yet before they understood what method Celestial Xia used to injure true bodies, they did not intend to send any cultivator into battle.
Councilor Xiang smiled. "When I heard Councilor Quan agree to strike back just now, I assumed the two Halls must already have reached a decision. Since that is so, there must surely be a solution. But if I were to devise one myself, I would say that since people cannot be used, we should use things that are not people."
Though they could not dispatch cultivators to the front, Origin Xia had conquered myriad ages and kept many fine things hidden away in its treasuries. They could simply bring them out.
Councilor Quan considered this, then said, "That is indeed one approach, but those things are unreliable. And even if they can be used, the Myriad Ways will use them to denounce us."
After some thought, Councilor Xiang concluded that the Myriad Ways must have come to pressure the two Halls earlier. Yet he did not believe the Myriad Ways could do anything to the Origin Upper Hall now. If they wished to drive back Celestial Xia, they would certainly have to rely on the Origin Upper Hall.
