Zhang Yu believed that since the other party had tried once, they could try a second time.
The loss of a Void Implantation cultivator was not enough to make the other party back down, unless they were truly damaged to a certain extent. Even then, the other party might personally join the battle.
This time, Yuan Xia's internal conflict was triggered, and it also involved the battle of the Ultimate Dao. If the other party did not achieve their goal, they would not give up so easily.
Xu Chengtong heard Zhang Yu's order and felt a chill in his heart. He bowed and said, "Shouzheng, I understand."
However, he was excited because this was against the enemy under Zhang Yu's personal command. Zhang Yu could see all his efforts.
As for how strong the enemy was?
Not to mention that they were all external bodies, even if they were destroyed, it would not affect their lives. Even if the enemy came in waves, just like what he said to his disciple, he did not think that Zhang Yu could not deal with them.
In the main hall of Yuan Xia's giant ship, Daoist Xing was waiting for news.
At this moment, a ray of light entered from the outside. After it landed, a cultivator appeared from within. He bowed and said, "Shangzhen, after Zhenren Shi rushed into Tianxia's flying ship, there were no more movements. Tianxia's flying ship did not stop because of this. I'm afraid this mission is not successful."
Daoist Xing looked down and said, "Be more specific."
The cultivator hurriedly said, "After Zhenren Shi broke into Tianxia's flying ship, it only took about ten breaths of time for Tianxia's flying ship to regain its speed. I used a peeper to look below, and the divine aura that Zhenren Shi left in the Void Implantation Land … seemed to have disappeared …" After saying that, he unconsciously lowered his head and maintained a bowing posture, not daring to look up.
The scene seemed to be silent. After what seemed like a long time, Daoist Xing's voice was heard, "Go and bring Lin Gui up."
The cultivator's heart relaxed when he heard his voice. However, when he heard the name, he could not help but tense up. He did not dare to say anything more and retreated.
Not long after, the sound of shackles being dragged on the ground could be heard, accompanied by heavy footsteps.
A giant that was several times taller than an ordinary person walked in from the outside. He had indigo skin, red hair, and golden eyes. His upper body was bare, and his muscles were like stone carvings.
This person's lower body was wrapped in a piece of animal skin, and his feet and hands were shackled with a pure gold animal head. From time to time, there would be waves of blue lightning flashing from the shackles. Every time, the giant would let out a soft groan.
After standing on the platform, he sat down on the spot with a rumble, and his crimson hair fell down to cover half of his face. He chuckled a few times and said, "You must have something to ask of me by bringing me here, right?"
Daoist Xing's expression did not change at all. He said, "Lin Gui, I want you to kill a person. After this is done, I can release your clansmen."
Lin Gui suddenly raised his head and looked up. He said in a deep voice, "Do you mean what you say?"
Daoist Xing didn't explain.
A cultivator at the side hurriedly said, "Of course, Xing Shangzhen means what he says."
Lin Gui stared up and said, "I want you to say it yourself."
Xing Shangzhen looked at him and said indifferently, "As long as you win, I'll fulfill my promise."
Lin Gui fell silent for a moment, then he raised the shackles in his hands.
Daoist Xing gestured, and the Daoist cultivator quickly stepped forward. He took out a talisman and placed it on Lin Gui's body. Lin Gui felt the shackles on his hands and feet loosen, and he fell to the ground with a rumble. Lin Gui roared and stood up. His actions caused the Daoist cultivator to nervously take two steps back.
Fortunately, Lin Gui did not make any unnecessary movements. He rotated his limbs and body. After which, he inhaled a deep breath of air. There seemed to be lava-like blood flowing under his skin. Waves of light were emitted from the places where the blood flowed, covering his entire body.
In the light, his body shrunk until he was the size of a normal person. His face was not as ferocious as before. At first glance, he looked like a cultivator with a strange appearance.
At this moment, the cultivator waved his hand, and a tray flew over. There were many scattered items on it. He said, "Lin Shangzhen, your things are all here."
Lin Gui glanced at it and clenched his fist. He blew at the tray, and a robe flew up and draped over his body. Apart from the sleeves that were slightly bigger, the rest of the robe fit his strong body tightly. He looked mighty and elegant.
At the same time, his magic power circulated slightly. With a rumble, a fiery flame surged. He nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and took a tooth chain from the tray and put it around his neck. He then raised his hands, and bits of red light flew over and landed on his wrists, turning into two vermillion bone bracelets.
At this moment, he saw a glass bottle under the tray. His eyes lit up as he asked, "There's liquid?"
The cultivator said, "This is Shangzhen's reward for you."
"Thank you."
Lin Gui opened his hand and grabbed the bottle. He pulled out the cork and took a deep breath. He mumbled, "I haven't had this for thousands of years." He tilted his neck, and a strand of silver liquid that looked like lead and mercury poured into his throat. He gulped it down. After drinking for about a hundred breaths, he finished it and said, "It's a pity that there's only a little left.
The cultivator said, "As long as Lin Shangzhen returns successfully, you can have as much liquid as you want."
Lin Gui waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say such empty words. It's fine as long as you keep your promise." At this moment, the cultivator handed him an item. On the surface, it looked like a golden pill condensed from mist. He asked, "What's this?"
The cultivator said, "The target's identity is a little special. It's not good to fight him openly. This item can be used to hide your tracks."
Lin Gui sneered. However, after thinking about it, he did not reject it in the end. He kept the item in his sleeve and said, "Where's the person?"
The cultivator said, "We've already released the beacon to guide the way. Once Lin Shangzhen leaves, just follow him. "
Lin Gui said, "Since that's the case, I'll go now." As he spoke, a burst of fire rose from beneath his feet. It enveloped his entire body, and he turned into a blazing flame and flew out.
In another part of the void, Cai Li was lying on a large couch in the main cabin of the flying ship. He was drinking by himself.
He knew that Zhang Yu might be attacked halfway through this trip. He also knew that the presence of Tianxia's emissary was beneficial to them. However, he wanted to see the two sides fight because of this.
Moreover, after sparring with Zhang Yu the other day, he felt that Zhang Yu was very strong. Therefore, he wanted to see if Daoist Xing's side could take out enough power to suppress the latter. If Zhang Yu could not withstand it, he would intervene. If he could, Daoist Xing's side would definitely suffer a setback. The greater the loss, the happier he would be.
At this moment, his attendant came to his side and said, "Shangzhen, the person Xing Shangzhen sent didn't seem to have succeeded. However, the person he sent out looked very much like the leader of the Ghost Tribe, Lin Gui."
Cai Li was a little surprised. He said, "Even Lin Gui was sent out?" He patted his knee and said, "I'm determined to win."
Up until now, Yuan Xia's invasion of the outside world had not been completely smooth. They had also encountered setbacks. One of them was the world domain where the Ghost Tribe was located. Yuan Xia called it the World of the Furnace. It was unknown what the cultivators of this world domain did, but the entire world domain had become a huge furnace.
However, among them, there were cultivators who survived. They all became half-human and half-monster, and they were connected by blood.
According to Yuan Xia's upper echelons, it was very likely that the ancient cultivators of this world had carried out a futile attempt to refine heaven and earth. In the end, they failed, resulting in this situation.
Since the cultivators of this world were born in the furnace of heaven and earth to temper themselves, their bodies were sturdy and indestructible. Moreover, those who were skilled in Dao could even be reborn in the light and fire. They were almost immortal. In addition to the harsh environment, it brought a lot of trouble to Yuan Xia.
Fortunately, for some reason, there were no upper realm cultivators in this world domain. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to attack.
After Yuan Xia spent a lot of effort to conquer this world domain, they also paid a huge price. They belittled the remaining cultivators of this world as the "Ghost Tribe" and imprisoned them for research purposes. Part of the weapon-refining techniques came from this generation.
Lin Gui was the strongest cultivator of the Ghost Tribe, and he was undoubtedly the closest to the upper echelons. Although they spared his life and allowed him to enter the ritual, he had been imprisoned there for a long time.
The attendant said, "Shangzhen, then should we ignore them, or should we help Tianxia's emissary?"
Cai Li thought for a moment, and his eyes flashed with excitement. He wanted to know the result of these two people fighting. Although it might spoil the overall situation, it was fine as long as he was happy.
He said, "No, I want to see who is stronger. However, if they fight like this, it would be unfair to Tianxia's emissary." He touched his chin, "Go and send a message to Tianxia's emissary about Lin Gui's origin."
The attendant acknowledged the order and retreated.
Zhang Yu steered the golden boat forward, following the token that Cai Li gave him. However, he still could not see the nebula that represented the Dao of the Eastern Era. He pondered in his heart that there must be a way to travel quickly between the Dao of the Eastern Era, but it was not known to him, an outsider.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a stream of light flashing by. He did not neglect it and reached out to grab it. He caught a wisp of dust and opened his palm. The dust floated outside and gathered into a line of Yuan Xia characters. He glanced at it. After reading the contents, he understood what was going on.
He waved his sleeve and swept away the dust before looking outside.
Not long after, he saw a wisp of crimson flame coming from afar. It did not probe and directly rushed to the front of the flying boat. As a ball of fire exploded, a red-haired Daoist appeared and blocked the boat's path.
