Contrary to Captain Cang's expectations, Zhang Yu did not refuse to leave the city. Instead, he said with a calm expression, "Of course."
He stood up and said in a natural tone, "But you need to understand that it's not me who wants to be here, it's you who needs me here." After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and walked out without the slightest hesitation.
Captain Cang looked at his back as he left. For some reason, he felt that he had done something wrong. But as an old military officer, he quickly got rid of this thought. His eyes were cold. His past experience told him that if he did something like this, he would not be able to stop.
The clan relative surnamed Zhu who came with him walked up and shook his head, "What a pity."
Captain Cang said, "It is a pity."
He knew very well that this clan relative was not saying that it was a pity that Zhang Yu had left. Instead, it was because Zhang Yu did not resist and did not refute. He left so unexpectedly and cleanly. This caused them to be unable to use the backup plan that they had prepared.
At this moment, behind them, a green lizard-like spiritual being about ten feet long appeared from the atmosphere. This was a creature of creation. If Zhang Yu had made the slightest move to use his mana, this creature would have immediately charged out and subdued him.
Clan relative Zhu walked in front of the glass wall and looked at Zhang Yu's figure as he left. He said, "What a pity." Then he said, "This person is actually very talented. If he could be used by us …"
Captain Cang said coldly, "Since this person is not willing to give up his blood, it means that he will not submit to us. If he stays, he may be of help to Zhu Zonghu. Then it is better to get rid of him."
Their faction chose to support Zhu Wuhu. In their eyes, Zhang Yu was one of the few talents that Zhu Zonghu had recruited. Therefore, he was undoubtedly their enemy.
Previously, they had investigated Zhang Yu's past. His origins were very unclear, but this was not enough to bring him down. Therefore, they went to investigate what happened after.
They found that there was a suspicious gap on the road from Yinguang City to here. This was because Lie King's people had tried to find Zhang Yu, but no one knew what happened.
They suspected that Zhang Yu might have been in contact with Lie King's people. Finally, they found King Xi. This discovery made them very excited. They were confident that as long as they could capture this person, they would be able to pry the information they wanted out of him.
But Zhang Yu did not have any intention of going against them. This disrupted their plans.
He walked two steps to the side of clan relative Zhu. and looked down, he said, "Let's not care about this. As long as this person lives outside City, he will not be able to come back..
Clan relative Zhu expressed his agreement.
Now, that Daoist cultivator would attack Guangdu every ten days or half a month. There were various defenses within the city to ensure that there would not be any attacks. But outside the city, there was no cover. Every time the enemy attacked, it would cover a thousand miles. Once out of the city, it would be impossible to survive. That would be considered to have achieved their goal.
He said, "We still have to make sure that he leaves the city. We can't let him find an excuse to delay or stay in the city."
Captain Cang said, "I will send people to keep an eye on him." There was something he did not say. If the enemy Daoist cultivator could not kill this person, then they would help him.
After Zhang Yu walked out of the Ring Hall, he turned his gaze and looked at the top of the Ring Hall. There was a huge creature that ordinary people could not see lying there. It looked like a transparent jellyfish, almost covering the entire Ring Hall where he lived.
If he was not mistaken, this was the same as the lizard-like creature hiding behind Captain Cang. They were both spiritual creatures of the "All Spirits Institute".
King Xi's biggest bargaining chip was the "All Spirits Institute", one of the three major powers of the Vast Race. The creatures inside were powerful primordial creatures and spiritual creatures that the Vast Race had tamed in order to fight against Daoist cultivators. It was said that a portion of them had been modified, and a portion of them had been created. Every one of them was a war weapon.
A portion of these creatures were brought to the front lines by King Xi. A portion was stationed in Guangdu, and a few were stationed in various important cities.
Because the "Governance Institute" was responsible for eliminating internal disasters, it also had the power to mobilize some of the creatures of the All Spirits Institute. This time, in order to deal with Zhang Yu, they directly used this thing. It could be said that they valued him greatly.
Zhang Yu withdrew his gaze and boarded a flying boat. He did not stop at all and headed out of the city. This flying boat was owned by a noble and could be used as a temporary residence.
In addition to the flying boat, King Xi had also bestowed him with many strange creatures and slaves. However, he did not bring any of them with him.
After leaving Guangdu, he could see that the ground was filled with deep craters that seemed to have been caused by meteors. These were all traces left behind by the Daoist cultivator's attack. Some of them were created not long ago, while others were left behind in the past few months.
After taking a few glances, the flying boat stopped in an enormous deep crater.
He understood that because there were insufficient surveillance forces outside the city, the other party might be able to use their methods without any scruples. However, at the same time, when he used his power, he would not have to worry about "Upper Self".
Up until now, he had not let down his guard. If he was not certain that "Upper Self" did not exist in a realm, and if he did not encounter a true threat, he would do his best to not use his own power.
"Upper Self" alone was not the most difficult to deal with. If there was a force assisting it, such as the Vast Race, then it would be extremely terrifying.
Even though he was looking at the information now, it seemed that the possibility of "Upper Self" existing in the Six Sects was higher. On the contrary, there were no traces of "Upper Self" existing in the Vast Race.
However, he still knew very little about the upper echelons of power in the Vast Race. Logically speaking, since the Six Great Sects beyond the Heavens had Daoist cultivators of the upper realm, they would not appear in the face of life and death.
Since this was the case, the Vast Race must also have the power to contend with them, or even suppress them. Only then would they be able to maintain their current advantage. Were they only relying on "All Spirits", "Glorious Brilliance", and "Machine Suppression"? He did not think so.
Especially when he was looking at the historical records of the Vast Race, from its beginning to its rise to the present, he always felt that there was an invisible hand pushing them from behind.
He could not see this power now because his position within the Vast Race was not high enough. Thus, he did not give up on the idea of entering the upper echelons of power in the Vast Race.
Captain Cang had been keeping an eye on Zhang Yu's movements the entire time. After he returned to the rehabilitation center, he asked, "Where is he?"
The soldier under him said, "The flying ship stopped outside the city, but it is still within the jurisdiction of the Capital of Light."
Captain Cang frowned, and seemed to be a little disappointed. He said, "Continue to keep an eye on him. If there is any movement, report back immediately." A sinister expression appeared on his face. As long as Zhang Yu went far away, he would immediately label him as a traitor. It was fine even if he did not leave. When those Daoist cultivators attacked, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Zhang Yu could sense that someone was watching him from outside. He did not pay attention to it, and only focused on cultivating in the flying ship. He took this opportunity to hone the transformations of his Dao.
In reality, he had not slacked off in any of his cultivation these days. The lack of mystical rations did not hinder him. The transformations of his Dao could be accumulated day after day. It was not something that could be improved quickly.
After more than twenty days passed peacefully, he suddenly sensed something. He looked towards the sky. After a short while, he saw the clouds parting, and the figure of a Daoist appeared there.
A divine light appeared in his eyes. He looked over and saw that the person was still just a shadow. In the blink of an eye, he saw through the transformations of the other party's mana.
While he was watching, the fiery thunders fell from the sky one after another, bombarding the capital of Guang Du and the surrounding land, but not a single one landed on his side. This was because he used a little mental strength to redirect it to another place.
The cultivation of the person who came was far inferior to him, and it was just a clone. Naturally, it was impossible for him to discover the abnormality here. Moreover, this attack did not last long. In just a few breaths, as the Daoist cultivators rushed into the sky, this shadow dissipated on its own. It was just like all the attacks in the past half a year.
In the Capital of Time, Captain Cang saw that the Daoist cultivators had retreated. He immediately asked, "How's the situation over there?"
He thought that there should be a way to communicate between Zhang Yu and Zhu Zonghu. However, this relied on the transmission of the Sun and Moon. As the captain of the establishment, he could conceal the information at any time. However, what was surprising was that in more than ten days, there was no communication between them.
He did not know if Tao Sheng was really fearless or if there was some other way to communicate. This kind of situation that was not within his grasp made him very disgusted. Therefore, he wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
The soldier who was questioned was holding a crystal board and waiting for news. He quickly said, "Captain, I have sent someone to check. There should be a result soon."
After a while, words appeared on the crystal board. After he read it, he was surprised. He raised his head and said, "Captain, that person is lucky. The report said that the area he was in was not affected at all."
Captain Cang's expression darkened. He said, "Since he avoided it, let us do it." If he made a move when Zhang Yu left the city, everyone would know that he was the one who did it. Now, he could push the blame to the Daoist cultivator who came to attack.
In order to ensure the success of this plan, he even let the Daoist cultivator bring along a spiritual creature. This way, there would be no mistakes. No matter whether Zhu Zonghu left something to protect Tao Sheng or not, it was useless.
Inside the flying boat, Zhang Yu was sitting cross-legged. He sensed something in his heart. He immediately knew that some people in the city could not bear it anymore. This happened right after the Daoist cultivator came to attack. His purpose was obvious. However, if the other party had such an idea, he could also use it in reverse.
With a change of his mind, a figure that was exactly the same as the Daoist cultivator who came to attack just now appeared in the sky, looking down at the group of people who were rushing out of the Capital of Light.
