"Great Guardian?"
Meng Hu fell into deep thought.
Elder Yuan's expression froze as he stared at him.
After a while, Meng Hu sighed. "That was in the autumn of the year before last. Great Guardian …"
Elder Yuan decisively cut him off. "I don't want to hear about that." Seeing that Meng Hu was about to speak again, he immediately cut him off. "Don't tell me about last year either!"
He paused for a while before continuing. "You can settle your dispute with Great Guardian yourself. What I'm asking you is, after you and Great Guardian left the division together, where did he go?"
Meng Hu made an 'oh' sound and said, "Even though I had planned to follow the Head Guardian, the journey did not last long. The Head Guardian advised me that it would be better for us to act separately. Otherwise, if we were to kill the demons, who would be credited to? I thought about it and felt that it made sense, so I parted ways with the Great Protector. "
Elder Yuan glanced at him. It was obvious that Great Guardian did not want to travel with him, so he used such a roundabout way. He said, "So, you never saw Great Guardian after that?"
Meng Hu pondered for a while. When he was about to say something, Elder Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him. "That's enough. You don't have to say anything. I know." Just as he was about to send Meng Hu away, he suddenly thought of something inappropriate.
Just Now, although the matter of dealing with the Creation Spirit was handed over to He Yifang, Meng Hu had been the one to deal with such matters previously. In fact, Elder Yuan had wanted to do so at first, but since he had already given the order, he could not take it back. He was afraid that Meng Hu would cause trouble if he found out about this.
Elder Yuan's mind turned. He could only think of a way to send Meng Hu away. This way, they could avoid contact between the two sides, and also give Meng Hu some peace.
After making up his mind, he said, "Protector Meng, in a few years, Great Protector Duan and I will step down from our positions and return to the headquarters. However, the position of Great Protector will have to be chosen from your generation. Among all the Protectors, you have the highest cultivation. I also have my eyes on you. If you make a great contribution, I can recommend you to the position."
Meng Hu gladly nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder."
Elder Yuan's breath slightly stagnated, but he suppressed it in the blink of an eye. He did his best to slow down his tone as he said, "Protector Meng, you need to understand that this matter has yet to be decided. Our Yan Teaching has always been based on merit. I have a task here that I need to entrust to you. If you succeed, then the position of Great Protector will belong to you."
Without waiting for Meng Hu to reply, he swiftly took out a talisman from his sleeve. "Presently, the various sects and my Yan Sect are rather at odds with each other. During these past few decades, I've had many conflicts with this generation, and there've even been quite a few disciples that have suffered injuries. I need you to find a way to mediate this matter. If you're able to successfully resolve this matter, then I'll fulfill my promise from before. There's no time to lose, so you can set out right now. I'll take care of the various Dharma Altars and do my best to give you convenience."
After sending Meng Hu away, he didn't know why, but his entire body felt relaxed, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
He knew very well that the conflict between the Yan Teaching and the outer sects wasn't accumulated in a day or two. This kind of matter was a fundamental conflict of interest, and in fact, it couldn't be resolved. However, he didn't expect Meng Hu to be able to accomplish it, and only needed to send him away for the time being.
In this way, the position of Great Protector couldn't possibly fall onto Meng Hu. Otherwise, even if he returned to the headquarters, he would probably be trembling with fear every day, afraid that he would be implicated.
After He Yifang left the mansion hall, he came to the side hall of the sub-altar with a sullen face. He handed over a talisman and said to the guard, "I'm acting under the orders of Elder Yuan. Now I need to borrow the Celestial Observatory, I hope you can make an exception."
There were only two Celestial Observatory in the Yan Teaching. One was in the headquarters, and the other was placed here. It could be used to observe the changes in the spiritual vigor of a world.
However, because there were some flaws left during the sacrificial refining back then, this object would consume a lot of precious materials every time it was activated. Therefore, if there was no order, it usually couldn't be used.
Even though he came with an order this time, the guard still didn't have a good expression and said coldly, "You're only allowed to use it for an hour."
Usually, He Yifang wouldn't care about the looks of others because to him, other than himself, everyone else was mediocre. However, for some reason, when he heard this, his heart was burning with anger.
He secretly thought that when he took the position of Great Protector, the first thing he would do was to remove a group of people decisively so that the order could be passed smoothly. Otherwise, it would be like now, the entire sub-altar looked huge, but in reality, each deacon had their own people that they were loyal to, so they couldn't use their power in one place.
When the guard opened the hall door, he walked inside and saw that the Celestial Observatory was inverted on a square wooden plate like a hemisphere, which was a metaphor for the round sky and square earth.
He walked closer and waved his sleeves. In a split second, countless pictures of mountains and rivers appeared in front of him. The Qi dynamic inside was also revealed in front of him like the waves of water.
Because he didn't have enough magic power, he didn't have the power to look at the entire Kun Shi Continent. However, if the otherworldly spirit landed in an extremely distant place after entering the world, then it might not be able to smoothly reach the territory occupied by the human dao. Therefore, he only had to look at it up close.
His gaze stared at it, gradually moving from the inside to the outside, gradually moving into the distance. After a long time, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise. There seemed to be a violent movement in a certain place. There were clearly traces left behind by a cultivator passing through the World Sky, but he couldn't make out the specifics.
He thought to himself, "This might be the territory that the otherworldly spirit passed through. Although it's a distance away from the human dao territory, it's not far. I should go and take a look."
Although that place was remote and there were many evil and ferocious monsters, he had the protection talisman that Elder Yuan gave him, so he wasn't afraid of encountering any danger. Therefore, he took out the talisman and called for a large spirit boat, leaving the sub-altar and heading in that direction.
At the same time, on the other side, the corpses of several great demons were lying on the ground, without any signs of life.
Great Protector Duan Cheng of the sub-altar of Yan Yan stood in mid-air and looked at the cultivator he saved with his sleeves behind his back, saying, "Which sect are you from? Why are you here? "
Yao Canbei was still in a state of shock. Several Great Demons attacked him, and he thought that he would definitely die here. Fortunately, these Great Demons saw each other as a threat and threw him to the side. They first started fighting each other, and only then did he have a chance to breathe.
However, when the outcome of the battle was decided, he wouldn't be able to escape either. Fortunately, his fate hadn't run out yet. Duan Cheng was originally killing demons nearby, but when he sensed the abnormal changes in the qi activity here, he rushed over and either killed or drove away these ferocious monsters, saving his life.
Yao Canbei composed himself and bowed, saying, "Wandering cultivator Yao Zhan, in search of a strange fruit, I accidentally entered the depths of the Wasteland. Thank you for your help, senior."
Duan Cheng glanced at him and saw that he only had a Yuanying cultivation base, so he didn't bother to waste his transcendence energy to watch him pass by. He asked directly, "Although you have the ability to conceal your qi activity, you couldn't have reached this place by yourself. Someone should have traveled with you. Where is this person now?"
Yao Canbei sighed, "Senior's eyes are like torches. I originally met a fellow Daoist traveling with me, but when he saw that he was deep in the Wasteland and couldn't deal with the surrounding demons, he broke through the sky and went somewhere else."
Duan Cheng said, "I see, but he really shouldn't have left you here alone."
Yao Canbei pretended to be hesitant, saying, "This … is in the past, let's not mention his name. We might meet again in the future."
Duan Cheng glanced at him and said, "It's up to you. Since we ran into each other on the way, then follow me. Once we leave this region, you can go wherever you want."
Yao Canbei hurriedly thanked him.
Duan Cheng released a spirit boat and used his transcendence energy to pull him up. Then, he turned around and left. However, after a day, the two of them reached the border of the Wasteland. He said, "Go east along this path, there shouldn't be any demons blocking your way."
Yao Canbei bowed and said, "May I know where senior is cultivating?"
Duan Cheng waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to repay me. Let's go our separate ways from now on." After putting Yao Canbei down, he kept the spirit boat and left.
At this moment, Yao Canbei let out a long sigh of relief. Just Now, the reason why he didn't say Meng Hu's name was not because he was pretending to be benevolent, but because he could sense that Duan Cheng was a member of the Yan Sect.
He didn't know what relationship Meng Hu had with Meng Hu, but the two of them were from the same sect after all. If he said the truth and Meng Hu became suspicious of his identity, then he would be asking for trouble.
Fortunately, now that he was out of the Wasteland, he could find a random small sect and send these people into their sect's dao technique. Then, he would find a place to cultivate diligently. When he obtained a shocking divine ability, he would naturally be able to do whatever he wanted in the world and not be afraid of anyone.
At this moment, he thought about how he was almost killed by Meng Hu in the Wasteland. He laughed coldly, thinking that when he achieved great success in his cultivation, he would definitely take revenge.
With a tap of his foot, he soared into the sky and began to search for a suitable target.
Half a month later, he set his eyes on a sect with about a hundred people and entered the sect under the name of visiting the Dao. During the banquet, he easily drew the sect leader's mind into his Heart Realm. In just an instant, the sect leader was subdued by his Dao technique.
A few days later, under the arrangement of the sect master, he also reformed a few elders here.
However, at this moment, he discovered something.
The more cultivators that submitted to his dao technique, the faster his cultivation improved. Moreover, he wasn't affected by the dao technique like before.
This discovery caused him to be overjoyed. If he was able to reform even more people, then it wouldn't be long before his cultivation would be able to rise another level. Thus, he set his sights on those disciples. Because the upper echelons of the sect had already fallen, it was naturally extremely easy for him to accomplish this.
After he finished, he was obviously able to sense his cultivation slowly rising, and he was extremely satisfied with it. Moreover, he started to think about how to reform even more people.
However, he didn't notice that every time he reformed a person, strands of black qi would appear out of thin air and seep into his body. At this moment, his body was already covered in a thin layer of black mist, and it was ceaselessly being pulled into the Weili Spirit of Creation.
Actually, it wasn't just him. All the Spirits of Creation within the Wasteland that had comprehended their own dao technique were the same. Only those like Meng Hu who had avoided this dao a long time ago, and Just Now, such an unusual situation hadn't occurred.
