After Daoist Shen and the other two retreated, they didn't change their original decision. They knew that Zhang Yu wanted them to consider carefully and not make a hasty decision. They didn't want to suffer a loss and feel that they couldn't bear it.
However, after they went back and discussed it again, especially after trying to cultivate with the mystical grain, they became even more determined.
At first, it was only the three of them. When they received Tianxia's invitation, they immediately sent people to Tianxia and agreed to sign the contract. However, after all the sects signed the contract, after a long time, the difference between them and the other sects could not be seen.
The difference in the contents of the contract, in their view, undoubtedly symbolized the different levels of status in Tianxia's heart. Therefore, they insisted on changing the contract.
If those ancient Xia sects also changed because of this, it was also because of their influence. They believed that Tianxia should also be able to see the role they played in this. Perhaps, they could even obtain mystical grain.
Therefore, the three of them came to look for Zhang Yu after a night. Seeing their persistence, Zhang Yu did not say anything. This was their own choice, so he re-signed the contract with them.
However, the arrival of Yuan Xia was to destroy the entire World Domain. Therefore, even if they retreated, they could not retreat too far. In the end, they had to fight with all their might.
Moreover, no matter what these sects thought, they were always willing to stand together with Tianxia at the crucial moment. Therefore, Tianxia would naturally remember this kindness.
The matter of these sects changing the contract was not concealed. Soon, it was spread out. However, the sects that originated from Ancient Xia did not take any further action this time.
Their long-term conservatism made them think that it was enough to sign the contract of non-aggression. They were unwilling and did not have the courage to take that step. In a sense, this could be considered as a clear understanding of themselves. After all, under the contract of mutual assistance, only Cheng You Sect could barely be on par with Tianxia.
Zhang Yu did not care about their choice. He only waited in the court for Daoist Feng's news. Two days later, Daoist Feng found these two sects. However, one of them had already completely declined. Other than some carefully preserved ancient books and scrolls, there were only withered corpses left in the sect.
The other sect was not much better. Only the cultivator with the highest cultivation level was able to preserve his life by faking his death. Both sects had been immersed in the void for too long, resulting in them being unable to return to the world rift. This time, Daoist Feng used the talisman given by Zhang Yu to find them by following their tracks.
After Daoist Feng brought the people and items back, this matter came to an end.
Although it was likely that there were still scattered sects in the void, most of them should have been found. Due to the urgency of the matter, they only needed to pay attention to this matter. there was no need to invest too much energy.
After Zhang Yu dealt with this matter, there was only the matter of the void foreign land and the inner layer individual cultivator left to settle.
However, the former was not something that could be done in a hurry. It needed to be slowly searched. Even if it was not done properly, it was nothing. After all, it was not a direct threat, so he did not rush it. As for the latter, he already had a plan in mind. He decided that if there was no news in a few days, he would personally investigate.
After making up his mind, he continued to sit and cultivate in the Taoist Palace.
Five days passed. The time limit set by Xuanting was getting closer and closer.
At this time, he unexpectedly received a message from the void. It said that through the previous clues, they had found the location of the foreign land. Moreover, they found two places.
He took a look. One of them was found by Lu Xingjie and Daoist Chang. The other was found by Daoist Xue, Gan Bai, and Chang Yang.
He could not help but nod.
He had arranged for these people to go after the last court meeting. It had only been half a month or so, and there was already a discovery so quickly.
However, speaking of which, these cultivators in Shangchen and You City were indeed better at moving in the void than the cultivators in Tianxia. They also had more experience. After all, most of them had been fighting against Tianxia in the outer layer for hundreds of years. They could be said to be very familiar with doing these things.
Since there was a discovery, it was natural to deal with it as soon as possible. He called Ming Zhou and said, "Daoist Ming Zhou, I'll have to trouble you to invite Lin Tingzhi here."
Daoist Ming Zhou cupped his hands and left.
Not long after, Lin Tingzhi arrived outside the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace. Zhang Yu came out to welcome him and invited him to the inner hall. After the host and guest sat down, he handed over a letter and said, "Lin Tingzhi, I just received a report from the outer layer that two foreign lands have been found in succession. Their arrangements are exactly the same as the foreign land found on the continent. This also proves my judgment. Many mystical creatures that were originally thought to be from the void were actually born from these foreign lands."
Lin Tingzhi took the letter and read it. After a moment of deep thought, he raised his head and said, "Does Zhang Tingzhi plan to deal with these two places like last time?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Lin Tingzhi, do you have other ideas?"
Lin Tingzhi said cautiously, "I have to say something. If these foreign lands were in the inner layer, it wouldn't be a problem to deal with them like last time.
But now it seems that many of the evil gods in the void are pinned down there because of these mystical creatures. If we deal with them now, the evil gods will have less resources and will definitely pay attention to other things. They might even increase their attacks on Tianxia. "
Zhang Yu admitted that Lin Tingzhi's words were very reasonable. If there were no two foreign lands and no mystical creatures, there would definitely be a group of evil gods eyeing Tianxia. He had considered this before, but he also knew that for Zhangsun Tingzhi's attempt at possession, Chen Yu was already prepared to capture the evil gods.
If the evil gods could be refined into possession, then it could be seen that the evil gods would exist as a kind of cultivation resource. If they took the initiative to come to Tianxia, it would be exactly what they wanted.
Moreover, he believed that no matter how many foreign lands there were in the vast void, it would be impossible to satisfy all the evil gods. Therefore, the loss of one or two foreign lands wouldn't cause too much of a change.
However, these were still confidential matters, and it was inconvenient to tell Lin Tingzhi. Therefore, he said, "I know that Lin Tingzhi has been setting up the outer layer formation under Chief Enforcer Zhuang's orders, and is still continuing to strengthen it. With this formation, we don't have to fear the invasion of these evil gods. Lin Tingzhi, continue to deal with these two foreign lands as you did last time. As for the other matters, I will tell the Chief Enforcer."
Hearing him say this, Lin Tingzhi said, "Since Zhang Tingzhi has already made arrangements, then I will go back and make arrangements to destroy these two places as soon as possible."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'll have to trouble Lin Tingzhi. Lin Tingzhi can meet me at the spiritual altar later."
Lin Tingzhi bowed and returned to his Dao Palace to make preparations.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, summoned the Life Seal Doppelganger. The latter waved his sleeves and left the Dao Palace. This time, he didn't go personally. Instead, he decided to send this doppelganger to deal with this matter.
He had the experience of destroying the foreign lands once. This time, it was nothing more than the evil gods in the void. Therefore, he ordered the Life Seal Doppelganger to directly mobilize all the Shouzheng in the void, including Lu Xingjie and the other four who discovered the foreign lands. This way, there would be about ten Xuan Zun to deal with the evil gods in the surroundings. This was enough to wipe out the foreign lands.
At this time, there was still no definite news from the rogue cultivators. He thought for a while and decided not to continue waiting. Therefore, he waved his sleeves and a talisman flew down.
Outside Tianxia's territory, Jiao Yao stood in the sea of clouds. He stroked his beard and looked down.
These days, he had been observing the rogue cultivators' every move. However, after they accepted Tianxia's agreement, they didn't do anything out of line. Therefore, he could only continue to observe. Fortunately, he was very patient and was able to keep his composure.
At this time, a talisman suddenly flew down and stopped in front of him. He knew that it was Zhang Yu's talisman. He hurriedly received it with both hands. After looking at it for a while, he stuffed it into his sleeves. Then, with the help of Yuandu Xuantu, he returned to the upper level.
As he stood in front of the Qing Xuan Dao Palace, a deity on duty came out to invite him in. He walked into the palace. When he reached the hall, he bowed to Zhang Yu and said, "Jiao Yao greets Zhang Tingzhi."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, you have been watching the rogue cultivators these days. Have you gained anything recently?"
Jiao Yao replied, "Replying to Court Enforcer, I didn't dare to act rashly without Xuan Court's orders. However, I've managed to record down all the interactions between these rogue cultivators over the past few days. I've also recorded them into a scroll. I hope Court Enforcer can take a look." As he spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it over.
Zhang Yu waited for the book to float in front of him. He reached out and grabbed it. He opened it and saw that it listed the rogue cultivators' every move. It included their names, approximate origins, cultivation, possible hobbies, and the depth of their friendship. It could be said that it was very detailed.
These recorded things were clear at a glance. It was very easy to find out the rogue cultivators' recent actions. Although Jiao Yao didn't have any achievements these days, with this book, it couldn't be said that he didn't put in effort and couldn't be criticized. It could be said that he didn't do anything. It was in line with the old dragon's usual style.
He closed the book and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, you are very considerate."
Jiao Yao hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "From the book, although these rogue cultivators usually live separately, there should be a leader behind them."
Jiao Yao said, "Tingzhi is right. According to what I have seen, these rogue cultivators are scattered everywhere. They don't usually see each other. They only communicate with each other through sacrificial ceremonies. There is obviously a leader here. There are obviously traces of a high-level cultivator. Those juniors who are only at the Nascent Soul Stage can't see so far."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, since you have been observing for so long, that person must know of your existence."
Jiao Yao said, "Replying to Tingzhi, this is very likely. Although I boast that I can hide, as long as it is a high-level cultivator, they will be able to sense it. However, this person has never taken the initiative to show himself."
Zhang Yu said, "It's fine as long as this person is here. Fellow Daoist Jiao, go on a trip for me and try to find this person. Tell him that I want to meet him."
