After the eleventh day, after a short period of hustle and bustle, the entire city returned to its former atmosphere.
Within the Xuanfu Conference Hall, Zhang Yu sat on a seat to one side. This time, he had come to participate in Xuanfu's decision at the beginning of the year.
He glanced over. Everyone sitting here was a Xuanxiu who had cultivated the Wise Chapter. Including him, there were thirteen people in total. Most of them were people he knew or had seen before. Only two or three were unfamiliar faces.
Two of them, according to Xuanfu, were permanently stationed in the north and south of Xuanfu, in order to deal with any changes that might occur at any time.
However, whether it was the arrival of the Tough Claw Tribe in the south or the invasion of the Plague God in the north, these two figures had never appeared.
As for the specific locations of these two sub-prefectures, they were never mentioned in detail. Thus, Zhang Yu believed that these two shouldered a higher level of responsibility.
Apart from these two, who were rarely seen, Xuanfu's previous upper level fighting strength, including Xiang Chun, was actually only ten people.
What about Xuanfu's opponent, the Army of God?
The earliest Army of God was counted in the thousands, so it could be called an army.
Although the Army of God had lost quite a few divine robes in the battle at the Honghe Pass, they still had over six hundred.
Under the four Marquises, there were at least sixty squad leaders. Every squad leader had the qualifications to replace a Marquis. If a Marquis was missing one person, a ceremony would be held to unlock the shackles of power and replace him.
However, this ceremony had a certain chance of failure.
Because every soldier of the Army of God possessed a certain amount of unique "divine power," under normal circumstances, three or four squad leaders would be able to contend with a Xuanxiu who had read the second chapter.
In the past, before the turbid tide had receded and they could not fly, the Profound Palace had made a rough estimate. It would take about two Spirit Clarity Xuan cultivators to be able to fight against a military marquis, and more than three people to have an absolute chance of victory.
Therefore, when they were trying to deal with Chaoming City, the upper echelons of Xuanfu had sent out a total of four people, including Zhang Yu. Their imaginary enemies were Chi Shou and Almote. If not for the fact that Xuanfu did not take the two EsGods seriously, they would have sent out even more people.
However, the ordinary soldiers of the Army of God could not be ignored. They also possessed a certain level of strength, especially when they reached the rank of corporal. At the very least, they possessed the combat strength of Su Kuang, which meant that they possessed the Spiritual Light.
Therefore, the middle and lower levels of Xuanfu were far inferior in comparison.
However, it was worth mentioning that a portion of the Army of God only obeyed the orders of the government residence and were restricted to a certain extent. On the other hand, the portion of Xuanfu that belonged to the government residence did not participate in Xuanfu matters and had never stayed in Xuanfu before.
It was clear that the government residence had always been trying to balance the two forces.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiang Chun politely said a few words, then looked at Dou Chang and said, "Junior Brother Dou, you are in charge of the last matter before the new year. Let's talk about your side first."
Dou Chang said with a deep voice, "Overall, it went quite smoothly this time. We cleared out most of the natives, and we even found an EsGod that was in hibernation. We were originally planning to get rid of it in one go, but maybe because the previous few investigations alerted them, those priests were already prepared and moved the EsGod's divine power away at the last moment."
The so-called hibernating EsGod was an EsGod that had been suppressed and killed before but was awakened by the repeated sacrifices of the believers. However, it had yet to fully recover its divine power and was thus able to choose a host body.
Xiang Chun did not let his guard down because of this. He was extremely wary of EsGod and asked with concern, "Can you determine where the EsGod's divine power will be moved to?"
Dou Chang shook his head and said, "The underground space is very big, and there are many tunnels. It will take at least a thousand years to dig it out. At that time, I didn't have many people, so I couldn't start searching."
Xiang Chun thought about it and felt that this matter was rather complicated to deal with. He could put it aside for now and discuss it in detail later.
Therefore, he skipped this topic and started asking about other matters. After asking them one by one, he looked at Zhang Yu and said, "At the last matter at the end of last year, Junior Brother Zhang once said that our Xuanfu did not train the younger disciples well enough, so it was difficult for talents to come out. After thinking about it, I think it does make some sense."
Sitting opposite Zhang Yu, a Xuanxiu with the surname Hu said, "Senior Brother, forgive me for being blunt, but hasn't Xuanfu been like this for the past hundred years? Furthermore, our Xuanxiu is different from those old cultivators who observe the chapters of the Great Dao. Why would we need a teacher? If we can't learn it, it's just that our talent is not enough. Can we teach them well after some more training? I don't believe it. "
Xiang Chun looked at the others and said, "Oh, what do you think, Junior Brothers?"
Fan Lan said, "Senior Brother Hu's words are a little unfair. Have you never had any doubts when you were cultivating?"
He looked at everyone. "Those who are able to sit here today are all people whose aptitudes far surpass their peers. But fellow disciples, do you really think that you only need to walk alone on the path of cultivation, and don't need anyone to guide you or assist you?"
Xuanxiu with the surname Hu said, "That's different. Doesn't Xuanfu still have your Junior Brother Fan?"
Fan Lan shook his head and said, "I'm not qualified as a guide."
Xuanxiu with the surname Hu said, "But it was in Junior Brother Fan's hands that a person like Junior Brother Zhang appeared. I think he's very qualified."
Fan Lan said, "Junior Brother Zhang has seen all six seals. How many people with such talent have there been in the past? What kind of achievements do you all have? Don't you all know? Is it really that important whether you have me or not? "
When he said this, the expressions of most of the people present changed slightly, as if they had thought of someone.
Xu Ying's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Dou Chang said, "We can't say whether this matter is good or bad. I think that since Junior Brother Zhang suggested it, why don't we let him do it first? If he can do it well, then Xuanfu will be lucky. If he can't, then it's no big deal. Xuanfu won't lose anything."
Xuanxiu with the surname Hu frowned and said, "Xuanfu has so few people now …"
Dou Chang smiled and said, "Junior Brother Hu, isn't this matter to solve the problem of lack of manpower? If you have any ideas, why don't you tell us so we can discuss them together? "
Xuanxiu with the surname Hu looked at him and said, "Senior Brother Dou is right."
Xiang Chun saw that no one was saying anything else, so he said, "Then let's do it this way." He looked towards Zhang Yu and said: "Junior Brother Zhang, you are originally a teacher in the Profound Palace, so you should be adept at teaching and dispelling doubts. Why don't you take on the role of teacher this time, what do you think?"
Zhang Yu thought about it for a moment, because according to the opinions of the Security Council and the Institute, it would be best for him not to easily show his face outside before the meeting. Thus, it would be appropriate for him to instruct the younger generation. At the very least, he would be working for the Profound Palace, and would not be criticized by others.
Presumably, Xiang Chun was also considering this, which was why he was willing to let him do as he pleased.
However, he also had a condition.
He looked up and said, "Senior Brother Xiang, I want to obtain all six seals of XunMi's Light."
As soon as he said this, many people looked over. Some frowned, while others didn't care.
Xiang Chun pondered for a moment and agreed. "Okay, but Junior Brother Zhang, you must submit a letter to Xuanfu before and after each teaching. You must not reveal anything to the outside world."
Zhang Yu replied, "I will handle this matter according to Xuanfu's previous rules."
Xiang Chun looked at everyone and said, "Junior Brothers, is there anything else?"
Xu Ying suddenly said, "Senior Brother, I have a question."
Xiang Chun looked over and said, "Junior Brother Xu, please ask."
Xu Ying looked at the others and then looked at Xiang Chun. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yingxiong, that traitor, if he appears in Auspicious Light City again, or does something evil, what should we do?"
Xiang Chun was silent for a moment and said, "Junior Brother Xu, let's discuss this matter later." He said to the people present, "Today's meeting ends here." With that, he stood up and walked out.
Everyone looked at each other, got up one after another, and left the table.
Zhang Yu sat for a while before walking out of the meeting hall.
After coming out of Xuanfu, he went straight back to his residence. Seeing that Miao Danjun was not in the room, he thought he had gone out to play. He went straight to the quiet room and sat down, holding the Xia Sword across his knees.
He called out in his heart, and the light flickered slightly. The Great Dao chapter appeared in front of him.
He focused his gaze on it and saw that there was an additional "Sword and" seal above the "Flying Sword" seal.
Previously, he had been trying to make the Xia Sword communicate more smoothly with his mind, and make it fly faster and more freely. However, he had not succeeded for a long time, as if there was always something blocking it.
After New Year's Eve, he held his sword to the sky and recited his wishes. At that moment, it was as if a river had flowed to the end. The obstacle that was originally just a little bit away was knocked away in a single breath, and the seal was reflected on the seal.
However, he did not read it immediately at that time. His past experience told him that after the seal appeared, he could practice it for a while. This way, when he read it again, the consumption of Divine Origin would be less.
After ten days, he felt that the time was about right, so he looked at the seal. As he poured his Divine Origin into it, the "Sword and" seal lit up in an instant. Then, a ray of light shone out and enveloped him.
When the light dissipated, he moved his mind, and the Xia Sword circled around the room like a waterfall before returning to him.
Although he did not hold the sword hilt this time, he could feel that the connection between him and the sword was very smooth.
In the quiet room, his eyes brightened.
In the past, when he used the sword to fly, he could not achieve the true connection between his mind and the sword. When he pointed out his mind, the sword would always have a slight lag. Now, there was no such barrier.
