It was this decision that allowed the five great ministers to seize the opportunity and send people to capture Emperor Meng when she was traveling, and imprisoned her in Duqing Valley for more than two hundred years.

The power of the Dao Court is now entirely in the hands of the five regents, and the Dao Lord is just a puppet. However, if the power of the sixth "Three Purities Realm" outside the five regents is allowed to enter, the balance will be broken.

The fact that Huisheng Daojun was so willing to let Emperor Meng take Taiyan Daozun as his master was also because he wanted to use Taiyan Daozun's power to fight against the five regents.

Therefore, Di Meng must not worship Tai Yan Dao Zun as his master, otherwise the power in the hands of the Dao Lord will be strengthened, which is definitely not a good thing for the current ruler of the Dao Court.

In the Xiantian Wuji Realm, there's no such thing as "heavenly secrets," only mysteries. Even the mighty Three Purities Realm couldn't divine these mysteries, so Di Meng was imprisoned in Duqing Valley. As long as the Golden Witch Clan didn't leak the news, Daoist Master Taiyan wouldn't know where Di Meng had gone.

At the same time, the reason why they chose to imprison rather than kill Di Meng was also because of the "mystery". Although the mystery cannot be calculated, it will "change" and thus be sensed.

If Di Meng was not dead but was just imprisoned, then the mystery about her would not change much, and Tai Yan Dao Zun would have no way of sensing it.

But once Di Meng is killed, there will be a huge change in the mystery about her, and Tai Yan Dao Zun will immediately sense it and thus sense the mystery belonging to Di Meng. If Tai Yan Dao Zun comes to question her, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although Di Meng has not yet officially become a disciple, she is already the designated disciple of Tai Yan Dao Zun. If you kill her, it is clear that you do not take Tai Yan Dao Zun seriously, so they can only imprison Di Meng.

Therefore, now that he knew that Di Meng was rescued by Fang Jian, Taoist Taichong said that this matter was troublesome.

The trouble is not the fact that they imprisoned Di Meng. As long as the five regents do not pursue it, even Tai Yan Dao Zun will not be able to find out that they are the masterminds behind Di Meng's imprisonment.

The trouble is, as soon as Di Meng comes back, Tai Yan Dao Zun will definitely come to accept her as his disciple. At that time, the Da Dao Jun lineage will gain the support of Tai Yan Dao Zun, which is very unfavorable to the current situation of Da Dao Court.

Taiwei Daozun asked, "Can this matter be kept secret? And Di Meng should continue to be imprisoned in the Dao Palace?"

Taoist Taizhen said, "This is the only solution at this moment. Immediately issue an imperial decree, ordering Renmi, Jiang'e, Fang Jian, and the others not to spread the news of your daughter's return, but to bring her to the meeting table."

Immediately, Taizhen Daozun summoned a junior official and issued an imperial decree, ordering him to go and deliver the imperial edict immediately.

After the Shaoqing took the order and left, the Taoist Taizhen said to the Taoist Taihe, the assistant to the Honglutai, "You can summon Yunhao, the prince of Jingshan Daoguo, to the meeting platform."

Taoist Taihe nodded, then called a junior official under his command and ordered him to immediately summon Yun Hao, the prince of Jingshan Dao Kingdom, to come to the meeting table, and after arriving, go to the side hall to wait for orders.

Not long after, the junior official who had gone to deliver the decree from the Taoist Master Taizhen hurried back to the main hall. Upon entering, he announced, "My Lords, Fang Jian, upon entering the city, beat drums and gongs, announcing along the way that Empress Jun Meng had been rescued. This has now become a huge sensation, and the news has spread throughout Yujing City."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the five great Daoist masters changed drastically, especially Daoist Master Taizhen, who raised his hand and slapped the jade table on his right hand, shouting angrily: "Asshole, who told him to do this?!"

The other four Taoist masters also had gloomy expressions. They really didn't expect Fang Jian to do this.

But soon, the Taoist Priest Taikoo pointed out the key problem, "He's trying to take credit!"

Hearing this, Taizhen Daozun and others looked at each other. Taigu Daozun's statement was extremely reasonable. The ones who left the city with Fang Jian were Renmi Shangqing and Jiang'e Shangqing. Fang Jian was a hostage, and his title was just a national scholar. How could he guarantee that the credit for rescuing Di Meng would not be monopolized by the two Shangqing?

Then he could only create momentum when entering the city. The greater the momentum, the more solid his "merit" would be. By then, the entire Yujing City would know that it was Fang Jian who rescued Junnudi Meng, who had disappeared for more than two hundred years. It would not be so easy for Shangqing Renmi and Shangqing Jiang'e to monopolize his credit.

Thinking of this, the five Dao Zuns also looked depressed. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Fang Jian doing this, and he did not violate any laws of the Dao Court.

The princess who had disappeared for more than two hundred years was rescued by him. This was not only a great achievement for him, but also a "great happy event". Isn't it normal to beat drums and gongs?

"What should we do now?" After being asked this by Fang Jian, the five Taoist masters who had experienced many ups and downs were also a little at a loss.

Daoist Master Taizhen sighed and said, "It's impossible to silence the public now."

Taoist Taichong said, "Before this news spreads outside of Yujing City, how about issuing an imperial decree to suppress the news?"

Taihe Daozun said, "No, doing so will only make things more obvious and arouse people's suspicion of us."

The Taoist Priest Taikoo said, "For now, we can only take it one step at a time. Now that the news has spread, we can no longer turn a blind eye."

Finally, the Taoist Taizhen made the final decision, "The Taoist Taigu is right, humble and respectful, Shangqing."

Soon, a senior official who was on duty outside the palace walked into the hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Daoist Master Taizhen said, "Hurry and issue an imperial decree. The missing Lady Emperor Meng, who has been missing for over two hundred years, has been rescued by Minister Renmi and Night Patrol Captain Fang Jian. She has now entered the city. All ministers in Yujing are ordered to come to Tianjie to welcome Lady Emperor Meng back to the court."

Upon hearing this, Shangqing Qianping was shocked. Although he didn't know who had abducted Junnu Di Meng, he understood the seriousness of the matter.

Hearing the decree from the Taoist Master Taizhen, he was deeply shocked. After secretly glancing at the Taoist Master Taizhen's expression, the Minister of Modesty and Peace did not dare to ask any further questions. He immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your command."

As Qianping Shangqing took the order, Taizhen Daozun also stood up and said to the other four Daozun, "Fellow Daoists, let us also go and respectfully welcome the daughter of Emperor Meng back to the court."

The other four Dao Masters had regained their composure and stood up, saying, "Good."
