Li Mishen looked at the scenery inside and said, "Yes, this should be the mountain gate of the Shanzhang Sect. It's not much different from what I saw before." He sighed and praised, "Minister Ting is brilliant. If it weren't for you, I would have been deceived this time."
Zhang Yu didn't care whether he really didn't see it or not. He still looked forward. Although they were standing here, they were still separated from the strange peak by a layer. It was not difficult to see that there was a tight formation. Even a sect like this, which was located in the Void domain, was protected by a grand spell formation.
They were here to visit, not to be evil guests. Therefore, they stood in the same place without moving. However, he believed that the people inside would be aware of their arrival.
Sure enough, in just a moment, a Taoist in his thirties floated out of the screen. He came outside and looked at Zhang Yu and Li Mishen's undisguised Qi Ji. He couldn't help but be surprised. He came up and bowed, "I'm Mu Yuanchen, the person in charge of the Shanzhang Sect. May I know where you two come from?"
He could tell that the cultivation of these two people was far superior to his. It was very likely that they were cultivators who had plucked top-notch achievements. Moreover, there were not many people like them in Gu Xia in the past. Now that two of them had appeared in front of him, he was also surprised and bewildered.
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and bowed. He said his name and then said, "We come from Tianxia. We've come here to visit your sect."
"From Tianxia?" "Visit my Shanzhang Sect?"
Taoist Mu was shocked. He was both worried and doubtful.
Although the Shanzhang Sect had been hiding here since Gu Xia, as Li Mishen said, in order not to fall into the endless void region, they drifted along the world's rift from time to time. It was inevitable that they would have contact with other sects. For example, the Shenzhao Sect met in this way.
Thus, they were not completely ignorant of the outside world. They had also intermittently learned some things. Those who had heard of the name Tianxia vaguely knew that this was the greatest power in the Xia Lands since ancient Xia. At one point, it had even merged with most of the sects.
Because of this, he was very worried that Tianxia's people were here to annex them.
He said cautiously, "My Shanzhang Sect is small and weak, and we haven't fought with others for many years. I wonder why the two of you are here?"
Li Mishen said, "Fellow Daoist Mu, is Fellow Daoist He here? I'm the leader of the Shenzhao Sect. Many years ago, I met Fellow He here once. I wonder if Fellow He has ever mentioned it to Fellow He? "
Hearing this, Daoist Mu's expression softened. Therefore, he said, "So it's Senior Martial Brother's old friend." He sighed. "Thank you for your concern, Exalted Li." It's a pity that Senior Martial Brother has passed away many years ago. Now, I'm in charge of the sect. "
He didn't doubt these words. Solemnly, no matter if it was him or the Virtuous Zhang Sect, they really weren't worthy of the other party's treatment. There was no need to deliberately make connections.
Hearing this, Li Mishen couldn't help but sigh and said, "I see. I didn't expect that the discussion with Fellow Daoist He back then would turn into a farewell. It's really a pity."
Only when a cultivator cultivated to the point where he could pluck the best results and complete the Dao, could he be said to not be afraid of the ebb and flow of life, and his lifespan would be endless. Ordinary Xuan Zun who fought with the world would eventually have an end to his lifespan.
For example, the Xuan Zun of Tianxia could be fearless because they had the support of the higher-ups, so they could enjoy endless lifespan. As long as the Qingqiong Boat was still there, they didn't have to worry about it. Although hiding in the void zone could avoid the chaos of the world, without protection, they would naturally have to endure this tribulation.
At this time, Daoist Mu thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Fellow Daoist, did Senior Martial Brother and you have any agreement? If there's anything, I'll fulfill it on behalf of Senior Martial Brother. "
He couldn't be blamed for asking this. His Senior Martial Brother liked to make friends. The reason why the sect could exist for so long was also because of the latter. However, if his Senior Martial Brother rashly promised something to the outside world, he couldn't deny it. Since he had taken over the Virtuous Zhang Sect, he should also take over the burden.
Li Mishen said, "This time, it's not because of that. It's because Lord Zhang has something to ask of your sect."
Daoist Mu couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Mu, can I talk to you alone?"
Daoist Mu thought for a while, but he couldn't refuse in the end. He clearly knew that if the two cultivators who had plucked the best results really wanted to do something to the Virtuous Zhang Sect, the formation outside couldn't protect them. He turned sideways and said, "Please."
Li Mishen said, "Leader Mu, I'll be waiting outside."
Daoist Mu saw him like this and felt a little relieved. Then, he invited Zhang Yu into the sect. When they passed by the pillar peak in the sect, there were still many disciples patrolling here. But now, all of them were hiding. Moreover, they seemed to have been taken care of because none of them dared to look outside.
Priest Mu invited him to the peak of the mountain and sat down in a spacious hall by the lakeside. He then ordered a servant to serve him some fragrant tea and said, "My humble abode is simple and crude, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zhang Yu said, "You're exaggerating." He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Then, he nodded and said, "Good tea."
Daoist Mu saw his behavior and felt more relieved. He smiled and said, "These are two tea trees that our sect brought out when we left Shenxia. After a long time, they've become popular. They're also the only things that our sect can take out to entertain guests. If you like, you can take some back later."
Zhang Yu didn't refuse and said, "Thank you." After a pause, he said, "I just saw that your sect doesn't seem to have many disciples?"
Daoist Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. Our sect only has about a thousand disciples now, and only a few dozen of them can achieve something. To tell you the truth, ever since we hid here, we've only met some friendly sects occasionally and exchanged information with them. That's how we barely managed to maintain our sect. "
Zhang Yu said, "Have you ever thought of changing to another world?"
Daoist Mu looked at him nervously and carefully chose his words. Then, he said, "I appreciate your kindness. Although our sect is weak, we can avoid all kinds of external disturbances in the void. Moreover, we've long been used to cultivating here. I'm afraid it's not suitable to go elsewhere."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "I understand your concern, but your sect may not be able to avoid all kinds of external disturbances by hiding here."
Daoist Mu was shocked and asked, "May I ask what do you mean? Our sect doesn't hinder others and there's nothing to snatch. Could it be that someone is deliberately making things difficult for us? "
Zhang Yu said, "Sometimes, your existence is worthy of being targeted. To tell you the truth, I'm here because I, Tianxia, have predicted that a great enemy will enter the world. It turns out that people from the Xia Country may be targeted by him. Therefore, I've come to the void to look for the sects that have been left behind. I want to invite you to stay in Tianxia so that we can fight against the enemy together in the future.
I, Tianxia, have now re-established my domain in the Unworldly Heavens. It's vast and rich in resources. It's not inferior to the mainland, and there are many people who can communicate with each other. "
Daoist Mu hesitated and said, "I've heard that Tianxia once united the sects …"
Zhang Yu said, "That's right. Tianxia has indeed united the sects in the past. However, in order to fight against the great enemy, if the sects are willing to come to Tianxia, Tianxia will allow them to exist independently."
Daoist Mu lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he raised his head and said, "I've said that the great enemy may only attack me …"
Zhang Yu said frankly, "That's not certain. Daoist Mu, you don't have to rush to refuse. If you don't want to, we won't force you. You can send your disciples to Tianxia to take a look. It won't be too late to make a decision after that. "
As he said that, he flicked his sleeve and a contract flew out. It landed on the table between the two of them. He said, "However, Tianxia needs to sign a contract with your sect. From now on, the two sects will not invade each other."
Daoist Mu was stunned. He picked up the contract and looked at it. He said happily, "That's good."
He was willing to do so. In his opinion, it was good enough that Tianxia didn't invade them. How would they dare to take the initiative to invade Tianxia?
Moreover, he thought that his sect was weak and hid in the depths of the void. He didn't believe that the great enemy that Zhang Yu mentioned would really come to them. Therefore, he immediately signed the contract.
Zhang Yu took the contract and put it away after confirming that there was no problem. He then took out a talisman from his sleeve and said, "If Daoist Mu changes your mind, you can come to me with this talisman at any time."
Daoist Mu saw it and reached out to take it. Solemnly, he put it away.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, asked about the other sects that had communicated with them. Daoist Mu didn't hide anything. If Zhang Yu could find them, he could also find other sects. Therefore, he answered Zhang Yu's questions in detail.
After asking clearly, Zhang Yu left. When he went out, he boarded the golden boat and said, "Daoist Li, let's go to the next sect."
Li Mishen was very tactful. She didn't ask any unnecessary questions. She just responded and followed him to the next sect.
When the Life Seal doppelganger was traveling in the void region to find the scattered sects, Zhang Yu's main body was meditating in seclusion in the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace. After about ten days, he heard the sound of a bell and opened his eyes.
According to the time that they had set previously, Yuan Xia might come in a month when Chief Enforcer Zhuang reached the upper realm. If that was the case, this might be the last normal court meeting before the official confrontation with Yuan Xia.
He got up from his seat and walked into the radiant light. When the light faded, he was already above the long river of light. The other court officials also arrived one after another.
After the court officials greeted each other, a bell sounded and they all sat down.
Chen Yu's style was to ask each court official about the specific matters that they were responsible for. He didn't ask them if they had any complaints like Chief Enforcer Zhuang.
Zhang Yu was on the second seat, so he naturally asked him first. He stood up and said, "Chief Enforcer, since I took over the authority of the Shouzheng, many Daoists have entered the Shouzheng Palace as Shouzheng and shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense. In the past, the Shouzheng's authority was no longer appropriate. Therefore, I request that the position of Shouzheng be made permanent! "
