After Daoist Zhengqing and Wei Yi tidied themselves up, they left Lai Yuan Shi Dao and took the golden boat to the Yuan Shang Hall, ready to meet up with Zhang Yu.
On the other hand, Lin Tingzhi and the rest of the Xuan Zun cultivators who stayed in Fuqing Shi Dao also left this world after receiving the message from the Yuan Shang Hall.
However, what was interesting was that along the way, other worlds kept inviting them to visit. They did not refuse, but accepted the invitation gladly.
This time, these worlds did not make any special requests, but were trying to squeeze people into the diplomatic group that was preparing to return. It seemed like they wanted to go back with the diplomatic group.
Before Zhang Yu left, he had told them not to reject him if they encountered him. Thus, they all agreed to his request. This caused the other worlds to follow suit and more or less squeezed some people into the diplomatic group. This also caused their journey to be slower, and they could not meet up with Zhang Yu for a long time.
Jiao Yao, who was in Bei Wei Shi Dao, was the last to receive the news, but he immediately went to find Yi Wu, saying that the ambassador summoned him and he needed to prepare for his return.
Yi Wu asked him to wait for a moment while he went to Yi Junzi's seat and said, "The Tianxia emissary is quite capable. He must have passed the Yuan Shang Hall's test since he was able to get the Yuan Shang Hall to send him a message.
He was slightly worried and said, "Ambassador Tianxia must have reached some agreement with the Yuan Shang Hall, can he really help our race? Won't it be harmful to my race? "
Yi Junzi shook his head and said, "Yi Wu, you worry too much. Although the Yuan Shang Hall does not like us, they will not argue with us on such an important matter. Smoothly obtaining the Ultimate Dao is what they want. Before this matter is settled, they will not have the time to care about us.
We don't need to care about what the ambassador Tianxia does, as long as he promises to do what he wants us to do. Besides, the ambassador Tianxia is not an unwise person, why would he put all his chips in the Yuan Shang Hall and not leave himself a way out? "
Yi Wu thought about it and realized that it was true. How could Tianxia's diplomatic corps completely trust the Yuan Shang Hall? Not to mention anything else, just by looking at the fact that the envoys still accepted the invitations of these worlds, one could tell that the envoys had a lot of thoughts.
Yi Junzi said, "Go arrange this matter. Remember to arrange for more juniors to follow Fellow Daoist Jiao back."
Yi Wu said, "Yes.
Actually, this wasn't a difficult matter. They only needed to say that these clansmen had gifted Tianxia's clansmen to drive the carriages. This way, they could conceal their true purpose. No one would think that they were trying to gain wisdom for their clansmen's descendants.
And these races needed someone to help tame and look after them, so it was reasonable to send a few more people of the same generation.
Now, the situation was even better. Since the various worlds were stuffing people into the diplomatic corps, why couldn't they do the same? Therefore, he could also do things openly.
And this news gradually spread to the Yuan Shang Hall. For this matter, cultivator Guo specially looked for Zhang Yu and said with some dissatisfaction, "Envoy Zhang, you have clearly reached an agreement with the Yuan Shang Hall. Why did you allow the other members of the diplomatic corps to contact people from the various worlds?"
Zhang Yu replied, "Spiritual Master Guo, in Tianxia's diplomatic corps, although I am the head envoy, there are still deputies. This one is not just for show. Tianxia arranged this in order to not have only one voice in the diplomatic corps. If we completely refute the deputy's actions, after returning, Tianxia will inevitably repeatedly investigate, which is not conducive to the follow-up."
Cultivator Guo thought about it and remembered the report about Tianxia's inside information. Then, he thought about the current internal situation of Yuan Xia and suddenly felt that he understood. He whispered, "Will there be any changes? Will the deputy promise something casually? "
Zhang Yu said, "I am the head envoy because I hold more power. The deputy does not have the power to agree to anything. Even if there are some restrictions, it is not a big problem. I just hope that you will not do anything unnecessary when you come down. That will only add to the trouble. "
Cultivator Guo knew that he was referring to the Yuan Shang Hall not to have the idea of getting rid of the deputy. He did have this idea, but since Zhang Yu said so, he had to give up.
In any case, without the binding of the oath ceremony, Zhang Yu was now more like a collaborator of the Yuan Shang Hall, rather than a person who had been asked to rely on them.
And before the matter was completed, the Yuan Shang Hall had to rely on this person. Therefore, he felt that he could not be firm in front of this person. This gave him the feeling that the host and guest had been reversed.
He sighed in his heart and could only say, "How can this be? When we do something, we always discuss it with Principal Envoy Zhang in advance. "
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "If we can't trust each other before we complete this task, we won't be able to continue."
Cultivator Guo hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." He thought for a while and said, "That's right. That day, Envoy Zhang mentioned that he wanted to meet Zhenren Sui. I asked His Highness and the Ministers discussed it. Considering Envoy Zhang's cooperation with me, they allowed Envoy Zhang to meet this person."
After all, this Daoist Sui was just an ordinary Zhenren. The "Records of the Void" and the things he knew did not involve the secrets of the upper class. He was only suppressed because he stood on the side of the otherworldly Daoist cultivators.
And after being imprisoned for so many years, he did not know anything about the outside world. There would be people watching the conversation between the two of them. It was impossible for them to talk about anything too secretive.
Zhang Yu mentioned the Houyuan Shang Hall before, and there was no more follow-up. He thought that this matter was impossible, but he did not expect to find a turning point. He asked, "When will it be?"
Cultivator Guo said, "It has been arranged. It can be done at any time."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "In that case, let's do it now. Please lead the way, Zhenren Sui."
Cultivator Guo stood up and said, "Zhenren Sui, please follow me."
Zhang Yu shook his sleeves and stood up from his seat. He walked out of the hall with Cultivator Guo and boarded the flying carriage that Cultivator Guo rode. They rode the wind and the clouds, and flew up into the void.
Cultivator Guo threw out a golden token. There were flashes of lightning in the clouds. Not long after, a hollow vortex appeared above. This scene was like a hole in the wall of the void.
The flying carriage didn't stop at all as it flew deeper in. First, it passed through a swirling cloud vortex that seemed to be able to crush everything. Then, the world suddenly fell silent as a four-sided metal platform with a pointed roof appeared in front of them. It seemed to have been molded entirely and was completely black in color. There wasn't a single crack on it, and it looked heavy and cold.
Cultivator Guo said, "Zhenren Sui is suppressed here." He stretched out his hand and the golden talisman from just now floated down. He did not grab it. He just waved his sleeves and the golden talisman flew out faster. It turned into a golden light and shot toward the Dark Hall. After a while, a ray of light shot out from the wall of the hall.
The Flying Chariot suddenly sped up and entered the golden light. After receiving the Flying Chariot, the entire hall retracted its radiance and returned to its original state.
After the flying carriage entered, Zhang Yu looked around. It was dim here. There were piles of solid platforms of different sizes. Only the high platform in the middle had a ray of light. It was the only source of light in the dark.
On the high platform, there was a big monument supported by a dragon turtle. In front of the monument stood a handsome cultivator who looked to be about thirty years old. He had a short beard and looked elegant and gentle. This person was dressed in a white ancient robe. He looked up at the big monument from time to time and walked up to it. He took out a hammer and chiseled it to knock on the monument.
Cultivator Guo said, "This is Zhenren Sui."
Zhang Yu nodded. He could feel that there was a stagnant pressure gathering in the middle from all directions. He had to use his mana to resist at all times. Otherwise, he would be crushed by this force.
However, in general, other than not being able to use extra mana, this person was still able to move freely. He was not treated harshly. The reason for this might be because he came from the World Path.
At this moment, the flying carriage slowly drifted over. It attracted the person's attention. He could not help but turn his head to look at it curiously. This person's eyes had a kind of clarity or innocence that was rarely seen in cultivators.
When the flying carriage stopped steadily on the platform, Zhang Yu and Cultivator Guo walked down from it. Cultivator Guo took a few steps forward and bowed, "Zhenren Sui, this is Zhang Shangzhen. He is here to see Zhenren Sui." Zhenren Sui was surprised.
Daoist Sui couldn't help but be surprised. Ever since he was imprisoned here, most people avoided him like the plague. It had been a long time since someone came to find him. He put away his hammer and chisel and bowed. "Zhang Shangzhen is too courteous."
Zhang Yu nodded and raised his sleeve to return the greeting.
Cultivator Guo said, "Please continue talking. I will take my leave first." After he bowed, he quietly retreated far away and secretly took out a talisman seal.
Zhenren Sui looked at Zhang Yu and said politely, "My place is simple and crude. There is nothing much to entertain. There are only two couches for guests. Please don't be offended."
Zhang Yu said, "Zhenren Sui, you are too kind." He took a few steps forward and sat down on one of the couches under Daoist Sui's invitation.
After Daoist Sui sat down, he said, "Zhang Shangzhen is an otherworldly cultivator, right?"
Zhang Yu said, "Yes."
Daoist Sui said with a sigh, "That's true. My fellow Daoists in Yuanxia all avoid me. Why would they come here to see me?"
He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "But I can see that Yuanxia Hall values Shangzhen very much. Otherwise, they wouldn't let Shangzhen come here. Let me think, Shangzhen must be in the otherworldly world that hasn't been destroyed by Yuanxia. So, they need Shangzhen to be a spy in Yuanxia. Is that so? "
Zhang Yu said, "It is as Zhenren Sui said."
Daoist Sui sneered, "This is nothing. Yuanxia has been doing this for many years. In short, if the cultivators in a world region are not united, there will always be someone else."
He shook his head and seemed a little lonely. Then, he collected his emotions and asked, "Then, why did Shangzhen come to see me?"
Zhang Yu said, "I have read Zhenren Sui's records, but there is a question in it. Zhenren Sui's remnant pages mentioned Yuanxia twice. I wonder where this place is? "
