When Zhang Yu came out of the Kindness Shelter, the sky was already completely dark. However, he felt something and looked up at the sky.
There was a bright moon hanging high in the sky. It was also a half-metal, half-flesh creation. The gentle spiritual light spread down and continued to provide the entire city with strong spiritual power. The sun in the day had disappeared. It should have moved to the other side.
Fang Cai also looked at the sky and found that it was no different from usual. She said, "Mister Tao, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yu said, "Nothing, it's going to rain."
Fang Cai smiled and said, "That's a good thing. We are at the border. It's dry and desolate. This may be the first rain since winter."
While they were speaking, the two of them had already walked out of the long hall. Zhang Yu saw that if he passed through the front, he would return to his own residence. He stopped in his tracks and said to Fang Cai, "Fang Wei, I have arrived.
Fang Cai's voice was filled with gratitude. She said, "We've disturbed you today. I thank you on behalf of my comrades. You must be tired. Please rest early."
The young man beside her muttered, "Cultivators can just sit and meditate. How can they be tired..." But his voice was so soft that Fang Cai did not hear him.
At this time, a soldier ran up and bowed to Fang Cai with a serious expression. He said, "Fang Wei, there's a military order. The commander wants you to go to the military immediately."
Fang Cai knew that there was something. She turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Mister Tao, we'll part here. We'll talk another day."
Zhang Yu nodded and said goodbye to the two. He passed through a crystal curtain that rippled like water and returned to his residence. He raised his hand and knocked on the jade board on the wall a few times. There was a burst of flowing light outside. After a while, the cabin returned to its original position.
He walked to the side and brewed a cup of tea according to the habits of ordinary people. Not long after the fragrance of the tea floated in the air, he turned his gaze. After a while, he saw a half-human, half-eagle creature appear outside the glass window. A layer of spiritual light flickered on its wings, and under its feet was a metal ring. On top of it was a bamboo box that was about three feet long and one foot wide. What was eye-catching was that the surface of the box was also engraved with the insignia of the sun.
He knocked on the wall, and a part of the glazed wall turned into a crystal curtain. The half-man, half-eagle creature flew in from outside and placed the jade chest on the ground. With a cracking sound, the chest was detached from the chest.
Then, he used a slightly shrill male voice and said, "Mister Tao, I'm here on Zhu Zonghu's orders. Please inspect them. Before Zonghu left, he said that if there's anything you're lacking, you can request and he'll find it for you."
Zhang Yu waved his sleeves. The box floated up and moved to a table at the side. He reached out and pressed on it. The box opened on its own, revealing the neatly stacked files inside. There was even a small piece of crystal jade at the top. As he looked at it, it slowly floated up and landed in his hand.
The half-human, half-eagle creature said, "This is the identity that Zonghu gave to you. It will make it convenient for you to inspect these files."
Zhang Yu looked at the words that appeared on the crystal chip. There was the name "Tao Sheng" on it, and the title below was "Old Codex Scribe". He asked the creature below again, and only then did he know that this was a position responsible for organizing various cultivation documents.
Although this position did not seem very eye-catching, this was only on the surface. For example, these "old books" before him were not something that ordinary people could come into contact with.
He put away the crystal chip, and reached out to pick up a scroll. He opened it and looked through it.
This scroll recorded the cultivation methods of a sect that had been exterminated by the Boundless Clan. It was extremely detailed. There were records of all kinds of remarkable abilities and Dao techniques, from beginner cultivation to advanced cultivation methods. However, if a person wanted to cultivate these things according to what was written, it was obviously impossible.
Putting aside the fact that cultivation was not something that could be learned just by reading books, just based on the difference in Dao mechanisms under the influence of the Turbid Tide, one could tell that these were old items from a bygone era.
He flipped through the scrolls one by one. The half-eagle, half-human creature was also waiting there. He was not impatient at all. However, he flipped through the scrolls very quickly. After picking up a scroll, he usually only needed a few breaths to roughly finish reading it.
He asked for these things to understand the cultivation methods here. He wanted to see how the people here cultivated and whether it was the same as the sects that Tianxia originally came from. At the same time, he also wanted to confirm one thing.
After looking through, he realized that although the cultivation methods of this world also sought the Dao, and were relatively similar to the Dao techniques of the Divine Xia era, there were still many differences. Even to him, they were still quite valuable.
And Zhu Zonghu gave him these things in hopes of solving this matter.
This was not difficult for him. However, with the level of power that he displayed, solving this matter too early would only arouse suspicion. Therefore, he could only take it step by step.
After he put down the last scroll, the half-human, half-eagle creature said, "If Mister Tao has no more questions, then I will return to report."
Zhang Yu said, "Thank you."
The half-human, half-eagle creature said, "My name is Feng Xi. Mister, if you have anything else to read, you can call me through the crystal scrolls."
He bowed his head like a person, then passed through the crystal curtain and left the way he came. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound outside. He was so frightened that he trembled. Then, he exclaimed and flew away as if he was escaping.
Zhang Yu raised his head to look. He did not know when, but a red mist covered the entire sky above the city. Countless crimson raindrops fell chaotically.
After a while, he saw a Daoist in red appear from the mist. He stood on top of the clouds, and the Creator Moon behind him was attacked by the red mist. The originally bright moon was slowly dimming.
He took a few glances. From the aura, he guessed that this was a Demonic Cultivator. From what he knew, the powerful figures in the sects were becoming fewer and fewer. Moreover, they were being watched by the Hao Clan. Therefore, they rarely showed up. He did not expect one to appear here.
He sensed for a moment. This person's power level was about the same as Xuan Zun's. Although his aura was not very pure, in this world that was not suitable for cultivation, he was already a very powerful figure. However, he did not know what level this person was at among the major sects that still existed.
At this moment, after the red raindrops fell from the sky, they seemed to have come into contact with an invisible barrier. It was as if they had hit the surface of the water, and red ripples spread out. This was the attack that had triggered the city's protective barrier.
At this moment, Zhang Yu looked in one direction. He suddenly sensed that after this Daoist appeared, there was also a powerful aura emerging from beneath the city. However, this aura was comparatively more oppressive. It seemed that it should have been suppressed underground. At this moment, it was resonating with the aura in the sky. In that case, it seemed that the person who came was most likely here to save someone.
At this moment, two streaks of light suddenly flew out from the city, rushing towards the red-clothed Daoist in the sky.
Zhang Yu took a look, and discovered that there were two people in the streaks of light. They wore cloaks that covered their heads and faces. Their bodies exuded a very recognizable aura. It was abnormally cold and sharp.
These two people's auras were slightly weaker than that of the red-clothed Daoist, but they had undoubtedly reached the same level. He took a look. These should undoubtedly be the Creator Alchemists that the Hao Clan relied on to attack everywhere.
In Tianxia, there had not been an armored soldier who had broken through that boundary. However, in this world of Dao, the Hao Clan seemed to have achieved this.
When the red-clothed Daoist saw the two Alchemists rushing over, a disdainful expression flashed past the corner of his lips. The red mist behind him gathered, condensing into a huge humanoid figure. It reached out two large hands to grab the two people.
The two originally wanted to dodge, but that red-clothed Daoist suddenly pointed a finger at the two of them. A ball of spiritual radiance exploded from the two people's bodies. Traces of rainbow light could be seen flowing from above. It seemed to have blocked some kind of attack. However, they were also slowed down for a moment. Two huge hands made of clouds and mist grabbed them without holding back, squeezing the two people inside.
However, from the traces of sparkling and translucent light that leaked out from the gaps of the fingers, the two people were fine. They were only trapped there for a moment.
The red-clothed Daoist seemed to know that he wouldn't be able to take down the two people in a short period of time. He didn't take any further action against them. Instead, he increased his efforts to conceal and erode that moon.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. He originally wanted to see a high-level battle in this world. However, no matter how he looked at it, the collision between the two sides gave off a feeling that it was too deliberate. The movements of those Alchemists were simply coordinating with the red-clothed Daoist. This made it so that there was almost nothing to see in this battle.
Of course, only people at his level could immediately distinguish this. If it was someone else, they probably wouldn't think that there was anything wrong with this.
It seemed that due to the erosion of the moon, the spiritual radiance faded. A small hole also appeared in the protective wall that covered the city after a long period of attack.
In the following period of time, as this hole gradually expanded, a streak of red light descended, bombarding a corner of the city. It was only a few li away from where Zhang Yu was.
Then, the Qi that had been suppressed there seemed to have broken through its restraints and suddenly soared. Another snow-white light that illuminated the entire city flashed, and it rushed out of the cover. In an instant, it went to the sky outside.
After this person left, the red-clothed Daoist seemed to have no intention of continuing to be entangled. He left with that person. The two Alchemists only broke free from the red mist a few breaths after they left.
At this moment, streaks of bright light flew over from the horizon. They were clearly the Alchemists who had come to help, but they seemed to have arrived a little late.
Zhang Yu withdrew his gaze. This was undoubtedly a well-coordinated show. As for why those Alchemists had done this, he didn't know. However, all of this might not have nothing to do with him, because after this matter, regardless of whether it was just for show or not, there would definitely be a strict and thorough investigation. Moreover …
He shifted his gaze. There was an additional piece of sparkling and translucent jade on the platform outside.
