Jin Zhixing had been helping Mei Yi suppress the turmoil caused by the Turbid Tide. Since last year, he had been traveling between different continents.
Fortunately, with the help of Yuandu Xuantu, they were able to move to any place in time. In addition, the Head Xuan of each continent was very cooperative. Therefore, this year's work was relatively smooth. Currently, most of the disasters caused by the two Turbid Tides had been settled.
This time, when he heard Zhang Yu calling for him, he did not dare to delay. After he settled the matters at hand, he went upstairs.
He went all the way to the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace. Just as he was about to report inside, he turned around and saw a familiar figure. He said in surprise, "Daoist Ai, you're here too?"
When Ai Bogao saw that it was Jin Zhixing, who was an old friend of You City, he was slightly embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes, I'm here."
Jin Zhixing sighed and said, "Daoist Ai, now that you're here, all of my comrades in You City, except for Daoist Wang, have returned to Tianxia."
Ai Bogao did not know how to continue the conversation. He was both emotional and envious as he said, "Sigh, Jin Zhixing's skin is much thicker than mine. Moreover, his eyesight is also sharp. Not only did he defect early, but he also found Zhang Tingzhi's sect early on. Good ability, no wonder he is so valued by Zhang Tingzhi. I also need to learn from him."
At this moment, a golden light shone outside the palace door. Accompanied by the sound of a bell, a deity on duty walked out. He bowed to the two of them and said, "Xuan Zun, Zhang Tingzhi invites the two of you into the palace to talk."
Ai Bogao took a step forward and said, "Kim Daoist is a senior, please go ahead."
Jin Zhixing said, "You're too kind. You and I are both cultivators of Tianxia, and we both work under Shouzheng. Kim is just one step ahead of us, but Brother Ai's cultivation is before Kim's, so how could I dare to be careless? Let's just travel together. "
The two of them exchanged a few words of modesty before walking in together. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Zhang Yu sitting on a jade pedestal. Starlight and jade mist drifted in the air, and behind him seemed to be a reflection of the Milky Way. Unconsciously, their breaths stagnated. The two of them respectfully stepped forward and greeted, "Greetings, Ting Zhi."
Zhang Yu nodded in return. He lifted his sleeve and gestured for the two of them to sit down. After the two of them thanked him and sat down, he said, "I called the two of you here because I have something to tell you."
Jin Zhixing and Aigau listened attentively.
Zhang Yu gestured and a deity brought over the records of the Gods Revival Society and the Moqi Celestial Race for Jin Zhixing and Ai Bogao to take a look.
After the two of them finished reading, he first said to Jin Zhixing, "Kim Daoist, there should be a branch of the Gods Revival Society in Dongting Southern Land. The reason I called you here is to ask you to investigate the whereabouts of the Gods Revival Society. I will assign some people for you to use. Take a look at this list and see if it's suitable. "
Once the Protectorate of the Southern Land was established, Shouzheng's base could also follow. This place looked isolated, but as long as the upper level wasn't obstructed by the Turbid Tide and could reach the lower level, then the manpower and resources could be transferred over anytime and firmly nailed here.
But before that, some arrangements had to be made first.
He raised his hand and another list of names was sent over. Jin Zhixing stood up and received it. He looked at it carefully and saw Ban Lan, He Li, and the others. These people originally belonged to the Shangchen spies and were under his command in the past. They could be considered his' old subordinates'. There were also some people who came from You City in the past. He was quite familiar with them and it was convenient to use them like this.
Zhang Yu said, "Kim Daoist, if you feel that the manpower is not suitable, or if you have other people that you value, you can inform me after the matter is over. I will arrange for someone else to change."
Jin Zhixing placed the list of names on the table and cupped his hands towards Zhang Yu, "Deacon Ting, Kim Daoist has seen the list and it's suitable. There's no need to change it."
Zhang Yu nodded and looked at Aigau, "Did Deacon Wu Ting tell you?"
Aigau quickly bowed and said, "Deacon Ting, he did. I will follow Deacon Ting's arrangements and atone for my sins."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist, the place you're heading to is also in the Eastern Court Southern Continent. You'll be guarding that place. There might be conflicts with the various EsGods there, so it'll depend on Fellow Daoist Ai."
Aigau quickly said, "Since I am able to gain the trust of Deacon Zhang and Deacon Wu Ting, I will definitely change and do my best for Deacon Ting and Tianxia."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He gave some instructions on this matter and let the two of them leave.
When the two of them went outside, Jin Zhixing said, "Daoist Aigau, although the two of us are assigned different tasks, we both need to deal with the EsGods in the Dongting Southern Continent. In the future, the two of us should take care of each other."
Aiguo nodded in agreement.
They both understood that Zhang Yu called them here to take care of each other so that they could take care of each other. The two of them exchanged their Xuntian Dao Zhang name seals in the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace and said that they would keep in contact in the future. Only then did they leave.
After making the arrangements, Zhang Yu was about to go back to cultivate when he sensed something and looked outside. A light flashed below the platform, and Ming Zhou appeared. He bowed and said, "Deacon Ting, Jiao Shangzun is here to visit."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and put down the scroll. He said, "Invite him in."
He had interacted with this old dragon before. After Shangchen was destroyed, he saw that the situation was not right and went to Tianxia. He did not know why he came here today.
Jiao Yao walked in from outside. He cupped his fists and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, this Jiao greets you."
Zhang Yu returned the greeting. He said, "Why are you here, Daoist Jiao?"
Jiao Yao said, "I'm here to ask you for a job."
Zhang Yu said, "Oh? That's strange. Daoist Jiao, you're cultivating in the sea of clouds and you don't need to take care of worldly affairs. Why are you here to ask for a job? "
Jiao Yao said seriously, "Tianxia is suffering from the Turbid Tide now. As a cultivator of Tianxia, how can I sit by and do nothing when my people are being harmed? I should do my part. "
Zhang Yu looked at him and did not say anything.
Jiao Yao was silent for a moment and then coughed. He said, "Previously, I was entrusted by Ying Chong to intercept Zhang Tingzhi. Wu Tingzhi did not let go of this matter and wanted me to redeem myself so that I can cultivate in peace. It's just that I haven't found an opportunity in these past few years. I heard that Zhang Tingzhi wants to inquire about this place. I believe I have some methods and am willing to be the vanguard. I hope Tingzhi can give me a chance …"
Zhang Yu asked Daoist Ming Zhou with his thoughts and immediately understood. This was because the old dragon had yet to be cleansed of his sins. Although Xuan Ting had allowed him to cultivate in the Cloud Sea for the past few years, they had not given him any Xuan rations and had not allowed him to move around as he pleased. This was actually a disguised form of confinement.
If he did not use the excuse of working for the Shouzheng Palace to redeem his past sins, he might not have been able to reach here.
However, in the end, he was still a cultivator who had plucked the best results. If he was really willing to come and work for him, Jiao Yao could not ask for anything more. This kind of person could be considered a great threat to his enemies even if he did nothing.
He said, "Since Daoist Jiao has such intentions, I will not reject you. However, there is something I need to make clear in advance."
Jiao Yao said, "Zhang Tingzhi, please speak."
Zhang Yu said, "The matters of the Shouzheng Palace are related to the safety of the various continents of Tianxia. Every order is official and does not tolerate the slightest bit of emotion. Daoist Jiao needs to think clearly. If you shirk, shirk, delay, or do not do things well, you will be punished according to the severity of the matter. You will not be let off lightly because of your identity."
Jiao Yao said, "Rest assured, Tingzhi. From now on, as long as it is an order from the court, I will do it with all my heart. I will not dare to slack off."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, you've also cultivated for a long time. Since you're already aware of this, I won't say anything more. As for what I need you for, I still need to make arrangements here. In two days, someone will come and inform you."
Jiao Yao bowed and said, "Thank you, Tingzhi."
At this point, he should have taken his leave. However, he did not leave. Instead, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Zhang Tingzhi, I still have a small matter …"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Daoist Jiao, please speak."
Jiao Yao said, "I have a descendant whose aptitude can be considered passable. When I go out to work, I have no one to take care of her. I am afraid that I will delay her cultivation. I wonder if she can become a disciple of the court? I do not ask that you accept her as a disciple, but I hope that she can at least have a position in the Shouzheng Palace. "
Zhang Yu looked at him. This old dragon had good eyesight. Seeing that he had not taken in a single disciple in the past few years, he was thinking of stuffing a disciple to him. If he was lucky, this disciple might become his disciple.
He said, "Daoist Jiao, you can send that descendant here. Whether she can be used or not, I will have to see her first."
In fact, this method was not that the old dragon wanted a yard after taking an inch, but it was a common practice among the sects in the past.
Because in the past, when True Cultivators took in official disciples, the disciples with good aptitudes and juniors were not necessarily suitable for the sect's Dao. Therefore, they were often sent to other sects to cultivate. The other sects would usually accept this favor and send some of their disciples to strengthen the relationship between the two sects.
However, Xuanxiu did not talk about true friendship. He was only willing to give a chance. If it was a talent that could be nurtured and was also loyal to Tianxia, then he would give a few pointers. If it was not nurtured, then he would be sent to the lower level to guard.
Seeing that he agreed, Jiao Yao's heart immediately calmed down. He hurriedly thanked him and then tactfully left.
Zhang Yu followed him and stood up a few steps. He came to the wall of the hall and looked at the map above. The key was to see the third turbid tide. If the turbid tide was even more violent than the previous one, then his previous judgment would be correct.
At this moment, a deity on duty carefully walked over with a document in his hand. He said, "Minister, there is a letter from the inner Yujing Shouzheng Palace. It says that it has something to do with the Tenki-in Hall."
Zhang Yu took it and read it. The letter said that the Tianji Palace was preparing to once again attempt to break through the level of the mystical creatures. Previously, he had sent a letter to inform them that every time they returned to the Heavenly Secrets Courtyard, they had to inform the Guardian Encampment. Thus, he had sent the letter ahead of time.
He looked at the date. This matter was set for the middle of the third month, which was one month later.
