Outside the North World Path, a few flying boats floated in the void. The few ministers who invaded the World Path and were forced to leave were still waiting there.
These people were waiting for news from the Eastern World Path. If things didn't go well there or there was an order, they might have to work harder.
Someone asked the Daoist on the carriage, "Minister Lan, if things don't go well at the Eastern World Path, do we really have to enter the North World?"
Minister Lan pondered and said, "We can't disobey the order of the Yuan Shang Hall. However, even if we enter this world, we don't have to fight with Yi Junzi.
You have to know that he only has half a year left in his position. In another half a year, he will step down from his position. At that time, he will come to the Yuan Hall to become a committee member and stand with us. It is very unwise to confront him directly now.
No matter how he put it, it sounded quite reasonable, but everyone present could feel that the real reason was that he didn't have the confidence to face the True Dragon Sect Leader head-on here. When the time came, not only would he not be able to fulfill the Origin Hall's instructions, but he would also lose face.
While waiting, a cultivator came to the front hall and saluted, "Minister Lan, there's news from the Eastern World Path. They said that Envoy Tianxia has been escorted to the Yuan Shang Hall. If it's not done here, there's no need to continue. You can leave now."
When Minister Lan heard this, he said cheerfully, "Ministers, you are indeed capable. You actually managed to get people from the Eastern Era. Since you let them go, we don't have to wait here anymore. Let's go back."
As soon as he gave the order, the flying boats didn't stay here any longer. They turned around and transformed into streaks of light that instantly vanished into the depths of space.
On the other side, Zhang Yu stood in the main cabin of the Golden Boat, following the flying boat in front of him. However, when he looked around, there were boats all around him, faintly surrounding him in the center. Rather than saying that they were escorting him, it would be better to say that they were escorting him.
If he wasn't invited to the Yuan Shang Hall under the witness of the Eastern World Path, he believed that many people here would be willing to attack him directly instead of inviting him back like this.
Half a day later, the flying boat was completely far away from the Eastern Era Path. At this time, Xu Chengtong came to report that a Yuan Xia cultivator had come under orders and requested to board the boat.
Zhang Yu knew that this was because no one came to cause trouble, so he was prepared to cause trouble. This matter had to be resolved eventually. He said, "Let this person come up."
After a while, a cultivator came to the main cabin under Xu Chengtong's lead. He bowed to him and said, "Envoy Zhang, the ministers invited you to my boat for a chat. They said they have some questions for you."
Zhang Yu said, "Lead the way."
The cultivator nodded and took him to a flying carriage. Then, they rode the carriage to the largest flying ship in the fleet, Yuan Xia Flying Ship.
When Zhang Yu entered the empty cabin that could accommodate a small mountain, the six ministers of the Yuan Shang Hall that he had met in the Eastern Era Path were all standing here.
The old Daoist in the lead stood in the middle. He should be the Advisor. Standing beside him was Daoist Xing, whom he had met once through the Heavenly Seal. Advisor Cai, who had spoken to Cai Li, was also here. However, he stood at the very edge.
When the two sides met, they first greeted each other. Then, the leading old Daoist said, "We invited Envoy Zhang here today to ask about the All Emptiness Well. I hope you can explain this matter clearly."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "I have already said what I need to say in the Eastern Era Path. If there is anything the minister doesn't understand, you can ask Cai Shangzhen directly. After all, he is the ruler of the Eastern Era Path. He knows everything better than me."
The leading old Daoist said in a deep voice, "I will ask Cai Shangzhen clearly. But now, I want to hear the situation from Envoy Zhang."
Zhang Yu looked up at him and said, "Since you call me the minister, you should know that I am the emissary of Tianxia, and not your prisoner. This time, I was invited to the Yuan Shang Hall by you. If you have other intentions, then as the emissary of Tianxia, I will make the right choice."
Minister Cai had been contradicted by Cai Li a few times, and the anger in his heart had not subsided. At this moment, when he heard Zhang Yu's words, he said coldly, "Do you think you can choose not to speak when you are here? You should know that there is no one here to protect you! "
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said calmly, "I did not lead the emissary of Tianxia here because of anyone's protection. It is not that there were no obstacles on the way before. Even if there is one more time, it is not a big deal."
Minister Cai sneered and said, "I have heard that Head Emissary Zhang had sparred with Cai Li and many others in the Eastern Era. Moreover, he always had the upper hand. I would like to see for myself if Head Emissary Zhang is as brilliant as those people say." As he spoke, a flickering light shone from his body, directly shining towards Zhang Yu.
He originally wanted to drag Zhang Yu into another region of space, but when the beam of light shone over, he was shocked to find that it was blocked by a patch of brilliant starlight. He was unable to move Zhang Yu at all.
Zhang Yu stood in the interweaving light and shadow, his figure flickering. He said calmly, "Since you only want to spar, why do you need to enter another space? Are you trying to hide something?"
In front of so many people, Councilor Cai felt even more embarrassed. He could even feel the other councilors looking at him with shock and mockery.
He channeled the mana in his body and a blinding light was released. Immediately, an omnipresent pressure appeared in the hall. The entire Yuanxia Flying Ship shook as if it could not withstand the pressure and made a squeezing sound. It could be seen that some of the furnishings here were slightly distorted.
However, this was only the extent of his remaining strength. Most of the pressure fell on Zhang Yu's body.
Zhang Yu stood there as if he didn't feel anything. Even his robes didn't ripple. However, since the other party had made a move, he wouldn't hold back. He raised his hand and flicked his finger at the other party.
In that instant, everyone seemed to see a vast starlight filling their senses. However, this feeling only appeared for an instant. Then, they saw the bright starlight fly towards Cai Siyi. It was as if the endless starlight from before had converged into this one point.
Minister Cai saw this and his pupils suddenly shrank. This was because he could sense the terrifying power contained within this speck of light.
At this moment, he could not help but panic. He even thought of retreating. However, he knew that if he retreated, he would be admitting defeat on the spot. Then, he would lose his last bit of face. Moreover, with Zhang Yu's methods, he might not be able to dodge it easily.
Therefore, he clenched his teeth, and the array artifact on his robe flickered with light. In an instant, his magic power multiplied, and this gave him a certain amount of confidence. Without dodging or avoiding, he gathered all the magic power in his body and pushed his palm towards that dot of light!
When the two of them attacked, all the Minister of Yuan Hall looked on coldly. None of them helped.
This was because Minister Cai had just become a Minister and did not have much of a relationship with many of them. There was no need for them to stand up for him. Moreover, they were all here in their original bodies. Even if they were killed, they would only lose one of their original bodies. When the time came, they could use a summoning ritual to return from outer space.
In the field, just as Minister Cai gathered all the mana in his body and was about to block the point of light, his heart suddenly palpitated. He sensed that there was a ray of sword light pointing towards him. It was as if the sword would tear him apart in the next moment. He could not help but be shocked. This moment of distraction caused his mana to uncontrollably relax.
In such a head-on battle between the two, even a slight difference in power could cause a serious deviation, let alone in this situation. Feeling that the light broke through the spiritual power barrier he built without any hindrance, and rushed to his body like a raging torrent without any delay, his expression suddenly changed. However, before he could have any follow-up reaction, there was a flash of light in the field, and he disappeared.
With this attack, Minister Cai's original body was destroyed.
When the Minister of Yuan Hall saw this, they were all shocked.
In reality, they knew from the start that in terms of cultivation, Minister Cai, who was only in the Virtual Realm, was definitely not Zhang Yu's opponent. However, no matter how bad he was, with the protection of the formation treasure that was compatible with his mana, he would not be destroyed in one blow.
The situation before them had exceeded their expectations. They could not help but look at Zhang Yu with even more caution. At this moment, none of them were in a hurry to move. They were all waiting for the Minister of Yuan Hall to speak and see how he would decide.
Zhang Yu calmly stared at everyone present. Before he came here, he had already thought of the possibility of conflict. If these people were hostile towards him, he would definitely not back down, nor would he be afraid of the slightest thing.
The weaker he appeared, the more the other would want a yard after taking an inch. If he appeared more forceful, he would be able to intimidate the other. Reality was as such. As expected, the people present did not make things difficult for him immediately.
The Minister of Yuan Hall was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, a cultivator walked in from outside. He hurried to his side and transmitted a few words to him.
After the Minister of Yuan Hall heard this, he nodded and waved his hand to dismiss the cultivator. He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Ambassador Zhang, Minister Cai was rash just now. Please believe that this was not the intention of the Hall of Yuan. Please go back first. If there is anything, we can discuss it properly at the Hall of Yuan Hall."
Zhang Yu nodded and raised his sleeve in a salute. Then, he turned and walked out.
After he left, someone asked, "Minister, why did you let him go so easily? Was it the intention of the Hall of Yuan Hall?"
The Minister of Yuan Hall said in a low voice, "Just now, the Hall of Yuan Hall ordered us to bring Ambassador Tianxia back to the Hall of Yuan Hall unharmed. Perhaps the Hall of Yuan Hall has changed its mind."
At this moment, someone asked, "Then what about Minister Cai?"
The Minister of Yuan Hall said indifferently, "When we go back, we will use the ritual to summon him back."
