As soon as Mu Yian walked into the gatehouse, he saw a figure with the same appearance as him standing there. He suddenly froze on the spot, and the figure opposite him walked towards him. In a split second, the two merged into one.
This was the merging of the main body and the external body, thus accepting all the experiences and memories of the external body.
After standing in the same spot for a moment, he digested and accepted everything on this trip. Then, he turned around and walked towards the inner part of the gatehouse.
After more than a hundred steps, he walked out of this place. In front of him was an even more narrow and long corridor with sharp arches. The entire corridor was made of gold and wood, and one's line of sight could extend to the farthest place. On both sides of the corridor, there were streaks of lightning-like flowing lights flashing past from time to time.
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the space between his eyebrows. In a split second, the scenery flashed, and he was already standing at the end of the corridor. He took a deep breath and stepped out.
He came to an empty platform with void on all sides. On top of it stood three Taoists with the demeanor of immortals. They were standing on top of three high towers that formed a ring, and they were looking down from above.
He held a Taoist salute and said, "Mu Yian, the son of the direct line of descent, greets the three elders."
The old Taoist in the middle said slowly, "Mu Yian, the direct line of descent, please report on this trip."
Mu Yian acknowledged and went down to narrate the specific situation he experienced during the trip. Then, he took out a long scroll and said, "The written account is here."
After the three old Taoists read it, they nodded to each other. The old Taoist in the middle stretched out his finger, and the long scroll turned into wisps of scattered golden light. It flew up to the top of the hall and disappeared in a flash.
At this moment, the old Taoist on the left tower said, "If that's the case, your trip is meritorious."
The old Taoist on the opposite tower said, "It's too early to make a conclusion before the matter is verified."
The two of them exchanged a few words and then stopped talking.
The old Taoist in the middle said, "The merits and demerits of the direct line of descent, Mu Yian, will be judged by the various Shi Dao after the verification. As for the rest of the negotiation with Tianxia's people, I still need you to come forward. Go and bring the messenger of Tianxia to my Fuqing Shi Dao."
However, Mu Lao 'an stood still without moving after she gave her instructions.
The old Daoist asked, "Is there anything else?"
Mu Yian straightened up and looked at the three of them. He said, "Elders, is it time to settle the matter that you promised me?"
The old Daoist in the middle said, "We will fulfill our promise to the eldest son after we confirm it."
Mu Huan 'an bowed and said, "Elders, Huan' an will take his leave first." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, turned around, and walked out.
The old Daoist on the right side of the pagoda said, "The direct descendant is becoming more and more disrespectful towards me."
The old Daoist priest on the left said, "This is what we promised him when we asked him to be our emissary. It's also his reward. What's wrong with him asking for it from me?"
The elder in the middle said in a deep voice, "There's no need to argue about this matter. His strength is also sufficient. If the results of this trip are verified to be flawless, then Mu Yian, the son of the First Clan, will be the next Clan Leader." Then he added, "But the official succession will be after Tianxia is eliminated."
Hearing his words, the other two old Daoists looked at each other and no longer had any objections. They both nodded in tacit agreement.
In the void, Zhang Yu was observing all the changes outside. Although Mu Huan 'an left the flying boat from the other side just now, under the observation of his eyes, all his actions were clearly reflected in his eyes.
However, when he wanted to follow him to a deeper place, he was covered by a barrier. Obviously, Yuan Xia was very careful about defense and would not let go of any negligence.
Therefore, he looked elsewhere. After observing for a long time, he withdrew his gaze and called Yan Yuming to ask. He found that except for himself, all the Xuanxiu disciples could no longer communicate with Tianxia through Xuntian Dao Zhang. Not only that, they could not even communicate with each other.
Therefore, he judged that there should be a Dao Guarding Treasure here. Obviously, the entire void was shrouded by this artifact.
However, he was not affected, not only because he had mastered the Dao Seal, but also because he had mastered the Origin Seal, so the connection between himself and himself could not be separated even by the Dao Guarding Treasure.
This was normal. The Dao Guarding Treasure was still in the Dao and did not surpass the Dao Seal. It might be able to block a part of it, but it could not block all of it.
While he was trying to distinguish this world, a young Daoist came to Daoist Qu's flying boat. His face was somewhat similar to Mu Huan 'an.
When Daoist Qu saw his arrival, his heart trembled. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Zhenren."
The young Daoist nodded at him and said, "Zhenren Qu, you can leave. Let me take care of these Tianxia's messengers."
Daoist Qu frowned and said, "Before Mu Shangzhen left, he told me that this matter needs to be dealt with when he comes back."
"I know." The young Daoist said casually, "I saw Big Brother just now. It was the clan who asked me to replace him."
Daoist Qu bowed and said, "Young Zhenren, without the token, I dare not hand over this matter. Please don't make it difficult for me."
The young Daoist smiled and took out a token. He waved it at him and said, "Look, the clan token is here. How about it? Can you hand it over? "
Daoist Qu's expression changed slightly, but he still insisted and said, "This trip is under the orders of the higher-ups of the world. The mission has not been handed over yet. If Young Zhenren wants me to hand it over, you have to take out the token."
The young Daoist was not annoyed and said, "Is that so?" He nodded and said, "I know Zhenren Qu is in a difficult position. In this case, I will take this token to receive the Tianxia's messengers. Zhenren Qu, you don't have to be in a dilemma." As he said, he swung his sleeves and his conveyance light flew out.
Daoist Qu's expression suddenly turned ugly. If this was the case, unless he went forward to stop it, as long as this person went forward and said something, it was very likely that he would allow the Tianxia's messengers to follow him. Then, the task given by Mu Huan 'an would not be completed.
He thought about it several times in his mind and helplessly realized that this time, he could only stand on Mu Huan 'an's side.
He was originally not Mu Huan 'an's subordinate, but was under the control of the otherworldly Daoist cultivators of Fu Qing's lineage. However, after following Mu Huan' an on this trip, everyone would see him as Mu Huan 'an's label. He already had to stand on Mu Huan' an's side. Other than Mu Huan 'an, no one would really trust him.
After making up his mind in an instant, he suddenly leaped into the light and directly blocked the young Daoist's path. He said seriously, "Young Zhenren, please wait."
The young Daoist's cultivation was far inferior to his. After being obstructed, he did not continue but stopped and said, "Zhenren Qu, is there anything else?"
Daoist Qu took a breath and said, "Mu Shangzhen had given me prior instructions. As the head messenger, I have no choice but to obey his orders. Please forgive me."
The young Daoist sighed and said, "Don't you see? I have the clan's token. I also have to act according to the clan's orders. Zhenren Qu, you are also making things difficult for me."
Daoist Qu said in a deep voice, "Young Zhenren, please consider the overall situation."
The young Daoist said, "Oh?" He raised his head and said, "Can I understand that my brother's overall situation is above the overall situation of Fu Qing's lineage?"
Daoist Qu remained silent.
The young Daoist said, "If Zhenren Qu can't answer, please step aside. Otherwise, I won't be so polite anymore. I can't punish you, but the clan's rules can. "
Daoist Qu only wanted to delay until Mu Huan 'an returned. However, the latter had not returned yet. Hence, he did not understand and just stood there silently.
The young Daoist waited for a while and laughed. He picked up the clan's token and shone it at Daoist Qu. A ray of light overflowed. Daoist Qu's expression changed. He felt that the ritual to avoid calamity that he did was being weakened. The power of calamity was gradually returning to his body. However, at this moment, another ray of light came and shone on the clan's token. It suddenly blocked it.
The young Daoist subconsciously looked over and saw a beautiful young lady appear there. The latter raised a token in her hand and said, "Brother's clan token is here. Brother Zhong, I'll take care of this place."
The young Daoist frowned slightly and smiled again. He said, "Since Brother's clan token is here, I won't stay here any longer." After he finished speaking, he turned into a ray of light and escaped.
When the young lady saw him leave, she turned around and said to Daoist Qu, "Zhenren Qu, you did a good job."
Daoist Qu said, "Thank you, Madam Mu, for coming to my rescue. If it wasn't for you, it would've been difficult for me to clean up this mess."
Although he looked grateful on the surface, he was gloomy in his heart. This was because he sensed that Madam Mu had arrived long ago. She purposely caused a conflict between him and the young Zhenren so that he would have no way out.
However, so what if he knew all this? His body was bound, and he could only follow the path that had been arranged.
Zhang Yu had been paying attention to the outside of the room, so he naturally saw this scene.
It seemed that Yuan Xia was indeed similar to what Jiang Lu and Feng Yu said. The internal conflict was very serious. Even the matter of receiving envoys would cause disputes and confrontations.
However, from another point of view, it was precisely because they were strong enough that they had the capital to be willful. He was also thinking about how to make use of the contradictions in this trip.
At this moment, the young lady came closer and bowed to Tianxia's main boat. She said, "I'm Mu Yiyi, under the order of Brother Lao An, to receive the envoys and bring them to the place where they stay."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and sent an order to Chang Yang through the boat wall. He said, "Fellow Daoist Chang, go out and respond to them. Ask them to lead the way. We'll follow later."
Chang Yang received the order and went out to negotiate with the young lady. After the two of them bowed, they returned to their respective boats.
After a while, the giant boat of Yuan Xia moved forward slowly. Zhang Yu also ordered the other flying boats to follow behind Yuan Xia's flying boat. Not long after, the boat fleet stopped at a certain airspace.
He took a look and found that this was the place where Mu Lao An had escaped. It seemed that Fu Qing's faction was here to receive them.
Undoubtedly, they came mainly to deal with this faction. This was both a good and a bad thing. The good thing was that they only needed to deal with Fu Qing's faction. The bad thing was that it was not beneficial for them to contact and observe other factions. However, judging from the internal situation of Yuan Xia, there would always be opportunities.
At this moment, the young lady got out of the flying boat and took out a gem. She shone it at the sky. After a short while, the nebula above rotated and dispersed, and a bright light shone down.
