The two Daoist children in the temple had already been instructed to agree to whatever request Zhang Yu had. However, they had to report to their superiors no matter what they did.
Thus, the two of them went to various places to retrieve the posters and reported this matter to the cultivator who passed by.
After the cultivator heard about it, it wasn't difficult for him to guess that Zhang Yu wanted to use this method to understand Yuan Xia. No matter how polite both sides were on the surface, they were in fact enemies. His first thought was to seal this item and not let Zhang Yu see it. However, after some consideration, he decided to sit back and watch.
The posters were meant to be clear and bright. The main purpose was to instill the idea that the various worlds were backward, rotten, and incompetent. Only the Yuan Hall's control was Yuan Xia's hope. Thus, these posters could be found everywhere. As long as he didn't restrict Zhang Yu to one place, he would be able to find them.
Furthermore, he had witnessed the fate of Advisor Cai that day. He felt that the attitude of the higher-ups towards the Tianxia diplomatic corps was no longer one of hostility, but one of cooperation, including the fact that they did not restrict Zhang Yu's movements. This was to show the difference between the Yuan Shang Hall and the All Eras Path.
In this case, he had no reason to stop him. Instead, he had to provide as much convenience as possible.
However, would this expose Yuan Xia's secrets?
To be honest, he didn't think that Tianxia could defeat Yuan Xia if he knew these things. Almost no one in Yuan Xia would think so. Which outside world could stop Yuan Xia's footsteps in the past?
Eliminating many outside worlds had allowed Yuan Xia to establish an unprecedented arrogance and confidence. Especially when this confidence was based on absolute strength, no one would doubt it.
With no one stopping them, it only took a little over a month for the two Daoist children to gather all the newspaper posts in Yuan Xia over the past thousand years and present them to Zhang Yu's desk.
As for the earlier ones, they were all sealed in the vault. If they wanted to open them, they would need various orders and seals. With the two of them, they wouldn't be able to find them in a short period of time.
Zhang Yu didn't make things difficult for the two of them. However, these were enough to distinguish many things.
After reading through all these reports, he felt that he had gained quite a lot.
Since a thousand years ago, the main theme of the Hall of Yuan's reports had not changed. It was about the confrontation with the World Dao. However, the Otherworlds that had been conquered did not mention much. They had always played a supporting role in the corners. They only mentioned when and which Otherworlds had been destroyed. However, it was nothing more than publicizing the achievements of the Yuan Shang Hall, and at the same time belittling the achievements of the various realms.
Firstly, he had a rough understanding of the Yuan Shang Hall. There were also many factions within the Hall of Origin. They were mainly divided into two factions, which could be called the Senior Elder Faction and the Promotion Faction.
Most of the cultivators of the Ascension Sect were selected from the races that he had seen. They relied on their outstanding talents to cultivate their way to the Upper Dharma.
These people had a lower status and were mainly in charge of external affairs. Most of the things were done by them, so their overall power wasn't weak. Along the way, in many floating mountains and Yue Tian City, most of the people living there were these people and their disciples.
The Senior Elder Faction was formed by the retired sect leaders and elders of the various realms. They were mainly in charge of communicating with the various realms and trying to seize more authority from them. Above the Ministers, there seemed to be an unknown number of Grand Ministers. If there were no accidents, these people should be sent out by the Senior Elder Faction. These people were the true core of the Yuan Shang Hall.
Apart from these, he also paid attention to the part related to Yuanxia's conquest of the Otherworlds. He also saw many things from it.
It could be seen that every time there was a war, the Senior Elder Faction of the Yuan Shang Hall would preside over the arrangements. The Promotion Faction would be in charge of the specific execution. They would select Daoist cultivators from the various realms to attack the Otherworlds.
In fact, it wasn't that the Daoist cultivators of Yuanxia didn't go to war. It was just that the Daoist cultivators of Yuanxia were like this. The middle and lower Daoist cultivators of Yuanxia still participated. Many miscellaneous matters were also handled by these lower Daoist cultivators.
However, even the Daoist cultivators of the Otherworlds who were under Yuanxia's control didn't take these middle and lower Daoist cultivators seriously. They thought that their role was insignificant, so they didn't even mention Zhuwu River and Bi Yu.
After distinguishing these, Zhang Yu sorted them out and sent them to Tianxia's main body. After understanding these, Tianxia would definitely be able to make the appropriate arrangements. It would be enough to take the initiative and advantage in the war between the two sides.
However, it couldn't be ignored that the more he understood, the more he would know the difference in strength between the two sides. Not to mention Yuanxia itself, just the Daoist cultivators of the Otherworlds that were recruited were enough to fight against Tianxia.
Even if he could think of a way to pull them over, these people came from different realms and had different thoughts. In addition, they were controlled by Yuanxia for a long time, so it was impossible for them to be pulled over by Tianxia so easily. Only by fighting them head-on a few times and severely injuring them, making them realize that they had the power to fight against Yuanxia, could it be possible to subdue these people.
As he was thinking, the hanging curtain outside swayed. A gust of warm wind blew in from the outside. A few petals floated in, bringing a strong fragrance of flowers and a faint sound of music.
He looked at the scenery outside and ordered Yan Yuming to summon the two Daoist children.
After a while, the two Daoist children came to his seat and bowed to him. They said, "Greetings, Lord Envoy."
Zhang Yu said, "I called you here because I have something to ask you."
The slightly older Daoist child bowed and said, "Lord Envoy, please ask. Xiao Tong can tell you anything as long as he knows."
Zhang Yu asked, "Other than the two of you, who else is here?"
The Daoist child was a little surprised. There were many Daoist cultivators who came here temporarily, but no one had ever asked about this. He thought for a while and said, "Other than us, there are some Dragon Ladies and Demon Fairies who are good at dancing."
There were changes of the four seasons in this floating mountain. There were all kinds of immortal fruits and fine wines. If one wanted to watch dancing, there were Dragon Ladies and Demon Fairies. In the past, every Daoist cultivator who came here would do this for entertainment. Very few of them were like Zhang Yu, who only read newspapers and pasted books.
Zhang Yu asked again, "Where did these Dragon Ladies and Demon Fairies come from?"
The Daoist child said, "The Dragon Ladies are not really descendants of the True Dragon. They were born from the True Dragon of the Northern Wei World and a human. However, all of them are naturally good at dancing. Those Demon Fairies are tamed animals. Most of them are good at dancing. Some of them are birds that have transformed into humans. If Lord Envoy wants to have a banquet and watch dancing, Xiao Tong can arrange it immediately. "
Zhang Yu said, "There is no need for that. Then what are the two of you? When did you come here? "
The Daoist child calmed himself down and replied, "We were born on land. After we were three years old, the two of us were seen to have the potential to cultivate. Therefore, we were selected by the Daoist Master to cultivate. If not, Xiao Tong and Xiao Tong would be muddle-headed people for the rest of their lives.
It's just that we are slow-witted. Those with good potential and talents all went to the Daoist Masters. For people like us, we are only in charge of welcoming and sending people off. At the same time, we will do good deeds in front of the Lord Envoy and see if we can get some benefits. "
Zhang Yu nodded. The Hall of Origin was different from the Daoist Masters. It was not blindly segregated. Moreover, it knew how to promote its own good deeds.
This was actually also because the Hall of Origin was acting on behalf of the Daoist Masters. Everything was nominally owned by the Daoist Masters. It was just that it was given to the Hall of Origin to distribute. This was where the fight was going on.
He asked a few more questions. The Daoist child also answered carefully. After he was done, he ordered Yan Yuming to bring the two of them out. When they were outside, Yan Yuming took out two bottles of pills from his sleeve and said, "Fellow Daoists, please keep them well."
The leading Daoist child repeatedly said that he did not dare to do so. However, he nimbly kept them and bowed, "Thank you, Shangzhen. Thank you."
Yan Yuming said, "No need to thank me. Please take note of what I told you a few days ago."
The two Daoist children hurriedly said that they would remember. They bowed again and retreated.
The two of them waited until they reached a corridor. The leading Daoist child opened the pill bottle and took a sniff. He was delighted when he found that they were top-notch pills. In the middle and lower levels of Yuanxia, pills and the like were widely used. Even if one did not use them, they could be exchanged for various good things.
He thought for a while. He poured out half a bottle and gave it to the other Daoist child. He kept the rest for himself. He thought, "These Lords are quite generous. They can help me take a look at what I told them to do that day."
A few days ago, Yan Yuming asked him to pay attention to whether there were any letters left behind by Daoist Sui. However, he did not know who this person was. There were no benefits and it was troublesome, so he did not take the initiative. Today, he could try to find out.
Just as he was pondering, he saw a rainbow light appear in the sky. Soon after, a flying carriage flew over. He took a look and immediately pulled his companion aside, saying, "Go and tell Lord Shangzhen that Zhenren Guo has arrived."
The flying carriage flew over from afar and landed on the platform in front of the temple. Cultivator Guo walked down from the carriage. He tidied his robe and walked into the temple. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw that Zhang Yu was already there to welcome him. He bowed and said, "Lord Shangzhen, I'm sorry to take the liberty of coming. Did I disturb you?"
Zhang Yu said, "Of course not." He raised his hand and invited him, "Zhenren Guo, please take a seat."
Cultivator Guo expressed his gratitude and sat down at the side. He waited for the disciples to serve tea before he said, "Lord Shangzhen, are you satisfied with this place?"
Zhang Yu said, "You are very considerate. There are no disturbances on the outside and the inside is clear. It is a good place to rest and cultivate in peace."
Cultivator Guo smiled, "It's good that Lord Shangzhen is satisfied." His expression became slightly more serious, "I came here today because Minister Lan ordered me to inform you to invite Lord Shangzhen Tianxia to the Yuanding Palace to discuss the matter between our two families."
Zhang Yu nodded. It seemed that after so many days in Yuanxia, the Yuan Shang Hall really wanted to have a discussion with him. He asked, "When?"
Cultivator Guo said, "If it's convenient for Lord Shangzhen, I will come here tomorrow and bring Lord Shangzhen to the Yuanshang Palace."
