Zhang Yu's expression was indifferent as he asked, "Then who is the master behind you?"
The middle-aged man straightened up. Even under these conditions, he did not reveal anything. He said, "This is not something Mister Tao can ask now.
When the time is right, we will tell Mister. His identity will be even more noble than Zhu Zonghu. If Mister Tao is willing, then you will not regret your choice. "
He reached out and the woman beside him handed him a document. He placed it in front of Zhang Yu.
"I remember that Mister Tao has not signed an oath of loyalty with Zhu Zonghu? If Mister Tao is willing to sign this document, then we will be colleagues. "
Zhang Yu's expression was calm and he did not move.
The middle-aged man smiled and said to the woman beside him, "No matter, we can give Mister Tao some time to consider. There is still some time before we reach our destination." He then looked at Zhang Yu as if he had everything under control. "Mister Tao only needs to tell us his answer before we get off the flying boat."
He took two steps away and then seemed to think of something. He turned back and said, "Oh, right, we know Mister Tao is a cultivator. But do not think too much and do not do useless things."
As he spoke, the crystal doors on both sides of the flying boat flashed. Six creator cultivators walked in from one side of the cabin. These were the guards of the boat.
Zhang Yu glanced at them. He had sensed creator cultivators around him before, but today was the first time he saw them.
From the spiritual power of these six people, they were around the level of Nascent Spirit Reflection. However, in terms of transformation, they were not as good as cultivators. This was because creator cultivators pursued power. They focused on their own strengths and weaknesses, not the Great Dao.
However, this was already very strong. This was because as long as they were on the same level of power, then two opponents could threaten each other. As long as one side had enough people, they could suppress the other.
At this time, he suddenly sensed something. He shifted his gaze and looked in another direction. It was in the direction of Yinguang City that they had just left.
After a breath of time, a large patch of glaring red light soared up as if it had been struck by a meteorite, illuminating half of the sky. After a while, a rumbling sound was heard, and the boat began to tremble slightly.
The reason why he was willing to follow these people out of the city was because he could sense that a powerful force was about to envelop the sky above the city. This kind of aura was very strong and full of malice. If he stayed in the city and was attacked, it would be very easy for him to expose himself. On the contrary, it would be more effective outside.
Not long after they came out, they were attacked as expected.
The middle-aged man clearly knew the inside story. He took two steps forward and said, "Did you see that? If we hadn't brought Mister Tao out, he would have ended up like this."
Zhang Yu asked, "Won't this happen if we go to Lie Wang's place?"
The middle-aged man said without hesitation, "What kind of person is Lie Wang? How could he …" At this point, he suddenly paused and showed an uncertain expression. He had never revealed his origin from the beginning to the end. Then, he became alert. Zhang Yu might have the ability to spy on his thoughts!
His face darkened, and he said, "This is not within the city, nor is it in the Institute of Maintenance. Mister Tao, perhaps you feel that we have been too lenient with you. I think you should restrain yourself."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "This place is indeed far enough from the city."
The Vast Race was very cautious of cultivators. If there were any abnormal mana movements within the city, then they would react under the illumination of the Sun and Moon of Creation, and mobilize people to surround and suppress them.
However, this was the wilderness, and the flying boat itself had taken some measures to conceal itself. In other words, if he used his methods here, no one would be able to discover it.
When the middle-aged man heard his words, he felt that something was not right. He retreated backward and shouted at the same time, "Take him down!"
At the same time, the Destiny Realm cultivators also stepped forward. Light blue spiritual light rose from their bodies. It seemed that they were going to subdue Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu stood still. His gaze was still looking outside, as if he did not care about the people who were walking over. At this moment, a golden light bloomed from his body. At the same time, an illusory figure holding a sword floated out. At this moment, the entire world seemed to have stopped.
This figure only waved his sleeve lightly, and everyone fell into a daze.
Zhang Yu turned around. With a step, he had already left the flying boat and appeared on the ground below. At this moment, it was like a stagnant flowing water that had resumed its flow. The entire flying boat and the people inside moved again and continued to fly towards their destination.
However, at this moment, their memories of Zhang Yu had changed.
They only remembered that although they had come to visit him, they had not been able to find him. And because the attack would arrive soon, they had no choice but to give up on this idea and leave in a hurry.
However, when it came to tampering with consciousness, one had to look at the right time and opportunity. It was not something that could be used every time. This time, he used this method because he could see from the middle-aged man's consciousness that his matter wasn't too important to the other party. If this person failed to receive someone, there wouldn't be much of a loss and he wouldn't pursue the matter.
But if it was in other places, this method wouldn't work. Otherwise, this method alone would be able to control most of the entire Boundless Race.
In fact, in the long struggle with the various sects, the Boundless Race had not always had a smooth sailing. There were several times when they were almost forced into desperate straits by the various sects. Tampering with consciousness was one of the most useful methods.
From the fact that Zhu Zonghu had used his spiritual power to actively seal off his own consciousness, the upper echelons of the Boundless Race should have also suffered this loss.
As he was thinking, he saw a flying boat arrive and hover in the air. After a moment, a crystalline light fell down from the belly of the flying boat not too far away from him. Daoist Wang walked out from the light. He looked at him and asked, "Mister Tao, are you alright?"
Zhang Yu said, "I'm fine. I have to thank Wang Zhidao for his reminder."
Daoist Wang was startled. "Reminder?"
Zhang Yu said, "Could it be that Wang Zhidao didn't tell me to hide outside the city?"
As Daoist Wang heard this, he seemed to think of something. He furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Mister Tao, I didn't inform you. Let's go back and discuss this matter." His expression relaxed a little. "No matter what, it is a good thing that Mister Tao was able to escape from the city first. It isn't convenient to speak here. Mister Tao, let's leave first."
Zhang Yu nodded and followed him back to the flying boat. After the two sat down, he said, "Wang Zhidao, Bright Silver City was attacked. What happened?"
Daoist Wang said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide anything from Mister Tao." He ordered a follower to pour a cup of tea for Zhang Yu. He slowly said, "The elder that Zhu Zonghu asked Mister Tao to resolve the curse is King Xi."
Zhang Yu's eyes stirred. He already had some guesses in advance, and now he obtained a definite answer from Daoist Wang.
King Xi was the same as the Fierce Kings that asked him to come; they were both one of the Twelve Sect Kings. But this person also had another identity, and that was that he was the current Emperor Hao. He and the previous Emperor Hao were siblings from the same mother. The territory they occupied and the military forces they possessed were extremely formidable.
Daoist Wang said, "Zonghu's parents died because of an accident. King Xi had no children, so Zonghu was adopted by his Great Uncle when he was young. Moreover, he was treated as his own …"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. It seemed that Zhu Zonghu's identity was also on the verge of being revealed. After the previous Emperor Hao inexplicably passed away, most of his heirs were purged and suppressed. Some of the larger forces had already started a rebellion. As for Zhu Zonghu's parents, it was likely that he was one of the heirs of the previous Emperor Hao.
Daoist Wang continued to say, "King Xi is one of the Sect Kings that has the highest chance of succeeding the throne. But, he was cursed by someone long ago and is unable to manage affairs. We speculate that this was most likely done by the Council of Elders in order to prevent King Xi from succeeding the throne. Fortunately, Mister Tao provided us with a method to resolve this.
But because this method requires the use of many relatives, this news was also leaked out. Two days ago, someone wanted to take advantage of the fact that King Xi hadn't fully recovered to strike first. But, we weren't completely unprepared. King Xi has already recovered, but there are some people who clearly don't want to see King Xi ascend the throne … "
As he spoke to here, he took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, "Before I came to find Mister Tao, I fear that the civil war within the Vast Race had already broken out."
He briefly explained the situation to Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu had a rough understanding of what had happened.
King Xi was originally the strongest contender for the throne, but after being cursed, although he didn't completely lose consciousness, a member of the imperial family who was ill obviously couldn't inherit the throne. So, in the past few years, he had almost completely withdrawn from the competition for the throne.
The Council of Elders took advantage of this opportunity to constantly suppress the other Sect Kings and nobles. They also used the throne to incite internal strife between them. He clearly wanted to suppress these people.
This matter was already halfway through.
However, once King Xi recovered, things would be bad. The previous matter was equivalent to paving the way for King Xi, so they were in a hurry to make a move.
King Xi was very clear that in the past few years, the Council of Elders had been controlling all of the power. If he followed the normal process of succession, there was no hope for him at all. So, he was very decisive. He immediately used the fact that he had been attacked and cursed as an excuse to use force to seize power, and the spearhead was pointed directly at the Council of Elders.
When the other Sect Kings saw this situation, they also joined in. Now, the various factions of the Vast Race had been involved.
However, there were also some Sect Kings who stood on the side of the Council of Elders. For example, the Lie King. The attack on Yinguang City was actually a step for him to make his position clear.
Daoist Wang said to Zhang Yu, "Mister Tao, King Xi appreciates Mister Tao's talent very much. This time, he specially ordered the Sect Protector to bring Mister Tao back. If King Xi ascends the throne in the future, Mister Tao will definitely not lose out. There is also hope for you to establish a sect!"
