Ceng Qiang stared at the platform for a while, feeling a lingering fear. He hadn't reached the Virtual Realm yet. If he stayed there just now, he would've been severely injured even if he didn't die.
He suddenly thought of something and looked at the female cultivator with a shocked expression. "It's coming for me?"
The female cultivator nodded.
Ceng Qiang gritted his teeth. "It must be His Highness and those people!" He looked at the female cultivator with a complicated expression. "How did you know?"
The female cultivator didn't answer directly. Instead, she said, "Did someone tell you not to leave just now?"
Ceng Qiang muttered, "But they have no reason to harm me. Otherwise, why would they send me out?"
The female cultivator said in a clear voice, "Not everyone has the same idea. They might be unwilling, but that doesn't mean everyone has the same idea."
Ceng Qiang thought for a while and said irritably, "So you told me to go to Tianxia, but will Tianxia accept us? Moreover, with Tianxia's strength, it's impossible for them to be Yuan Xia's opponent. Aren't we courting death by going there? "
The female cultivator stared at him and said, "Do you think you can reach the upper realm?"
"Of course!" Ceng Qiang answered without hesitation. "Of course I can!"
Although that figure said he might reach the upper realm in Tianxia, he was already certain of it. However, this wasn't conceit. If a cultivator didn't even have this confidence, how could they seek the Dao?
The female cultivator said softly, "Since you can reach the upper realm, what are you afraid of? If Tianxia can't even see your value, then they might as well admit defeat. "
"Well said!" Ceng Qiang's fighting spirit was raised. "We won't go. We'll go look for Tianxia's people now!"
The scene of half of the platform collapsing was seen by the outer guards at the first moment. They were all astonished in their hearts. It had only been a little over a month since the construction was completed, right? It collapsed again just like that?
And from the looks of it, the remaining half wouldn't be able to last much longer. What was going on with this Yuan Xia? Why do things like this always happen?
If it wasn't for the fact that this explosion was the same as the previous one and that there wasn't any movement after that, they would have thought that Yuan Xia was doing this on purpose to provoke a war against Tianxia.
The cultivator in charge of patrolling also reported the situation here to Zhang Yu through Xuntian Dao Zhang. The latter was originally studying Taoist techniques. After receiving the news, the first thought that came to his mind was whether His Highness had made a move.
He asked, "Did we have any casualties?"
The cultivator said, "Reporting to the court, there is no such thing. We obeyed the order and didn't get close to the Yuanxia Platform on normal days. We only took the flying boat to patrol outside. When the explosion happened, some of our flying boats were slightly impacted, but it wasn't a big deal. "
Nodding his head, Zhang Yu pondered for a brief moment before he asked, "What about Yuanxia's ambassador?"
The cultivator replied, "I tried asking just now. That emissary happened to be at the half of the platform that was blown up. I'm afraid … he didn't manage to escape."
Zhang Yu said, "Understood. Continue to keep an eye on him. If there's anything else, report it to me."
The cultivator said, "Yes, Sir."
After Zhang Yuyu ended the conversation, he stood up from his seat and pondered for a moment. On the surface, this matter seemed to be the work of His Highness, but there was something strange about it. He had a feeling that things were not so simple.
However, he did not think for long before the Heavenly Training Scripture sensed something again. It was the cultivator who had just reported to him. He asked, "Is there anything else?"
The cultivator said, "Sir, two Yuanxia cultivators came to us just now. They said that they wanted to seek protection from Tianxia. How should we deal with them? "
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Did they say who they were?"
The cultivator said, "They were Xuan Zun. However, they said that they didn't want to meet the upper echelons of Tianxia, so they refused to reveal their identity. They only said that they were a little special. If Tianxia didn't meet them, they would regret it."
Zhang Yu said, "In that case, these two people are at their wits' end."
Xuanxiu said worriedly, "Sir, could it be that these two people deliberately came to our place after the platform was blown up?"
Zhang Yu glanced at Xuanxiu's place and instantly saw Ceng Yi and Xuntian Dao Zhang. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "It's not these two people's doing. Tell them to wait there. Someone will come to meet them later. "
The cultivator said, "Yes, Sir."
Zhang Yu sent a message through Yuandu Xuantu, asking Lu Xingjie and Daoist Xue to take the Yuanxiu Xuantu to pick up the two people.
At this time, Ceng Yi had already arrived at the airship. He looked around a few times, seemingly a little surprised. The female cultivator asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Ceng Yi said, "It's nothing, someone seemed to have glanced at me just now."
The female cultivator said, "This is Tianxia's territory, it's inevitable that someone will come to see you. Since we've joined them, we have to get used to it."
Ceng Yi nodded, "I understand. Now that we're living under someone else's roof, we can only follow their wishes. Don't worry, I won't be impulsive."
The two followed the airship into the depths of the void. After about a day, they stopped on a Yuanxiu Star. The two of them were brought into the main hall, where Lu Xingjie and Daoist Xue were waiting for them.
Lu Xingjie glanced at the two of them, bowed, and said with a smile, "Are the two of you here to join my Tianxia?"
Daoist Xue snorted in his heart. In his eyes, Ceng Yi and Xuntian Dao Zhang's positions were uncertain, and there was no sincerity to speak of. He looked down on such people the most.
Ceng Yi also sized up the two of them, and he also looked down on them in his heart. In his eyes, there was no need to befriend these cultivators who hadn't plucked high-grade merit fruits. Sooner or later, they would be left behind by him. And when he cultivated to the high-grade realm, they would be nothing more than dust on his clothes, gone with a wipe.
He straightened his body, saying, "You two, we want to see someone who can make the decision."
The female cultivator didn't speak. Although Ceng Yi mostly listened to her in private, she would never take the initiative to make decisions for Ceng Yi in front of others.
Lu Xingjie, on the other hand, had a good temper, saying, "Since you two want to see the upper echelon of Tianxia, please tell us your intentions. The upper echelon isn't someone you can meet whenever you want. If it were your Yuan Xia, it would be the same, right?"
Ceng Yi hesitated, saying, "Please tell the upper echelon of Tianxia that I have a report that involves the success or failure of the two families."
Daoist Xue was dissatisfied, saying, "Isn't that the same as saying nothing?"
Ceng Yi, however, insisted, "It's a matter of great importance, and we have our reasons for not saying anything. Please believe us. Since we're here, we wouldn't dare to deceive you if it wasn't a big matter."
Lu Xingjie smiled, saying, "Is that so? Very well, we'll report on your behalf. Please wait here. It's very safe here, and Yuan Xia's people can't come here yet. "
At this time, because the second envoy was confirmed to have died in the explosion, Yuan Xia sent another envoy over and contacted Zhang Yu through a message.
Zhang Yu turned into a streak of light and arrived on Yuan Xia's flying ship to meet the envoy. This time, he still didn't ask for the envoy's name, only saying, "You're finally here. You promised not to have any more problems, but what's going on this time?"
The envoy said, "Please believe us, Envoy Zhang, this time isn't what we thought."
Zhang Yu said faintly, "I remember you said something similar last time. What are you going to do? Repair the platform again?"
The envoy couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Yuan Shang Hall was indeed thinking this way. Because of the continuous problems, some people thought that the platform should be removed.
However, many of the division members insisted that it couldn't be removed, because this was the face of the Yuan Shang Hall. If it was removed, it would mean that the Yuan Shang Hall's strategy had failed. Then, the Yuan Shang Hall would definitely turn around and ride on their heads. Therefore, no matter what, it couldn't be considered a failure, and there was no failure. It was just a temporary setback. The more problems there were, the more it proved that his strategy was right. Otherwise, why would there be so many people opposing it?
Zhang Yu said calmly, "This time, I won't say anything more. I'm sure you all know what's going to happen, so there's no need for me to say it again. Since you want to build the platform again, I'll still cooperate with you. However, I hope that you'll clear up your internal affairs first."
The envoy bowed gratefully, saying, "Thank you for your support, Envoy Zhang." He hesitated and asked again, "Envoy Zhang, we lost a Daoist cultivator. Do you have any news about him?"
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "Do you need to ask me where the people of Yuan Xia are going? Or do you think that this Yuan Xia cultivator came to join Tianxia? "
The envoy said awkwardly, "I'm just asking. We thought that since the platform suddenly exploded and we don't know the reason, perhaps some people were worried and came to ask for your protection."
After Ceng Yi left, coincidentally, the people who saw him leave died in the explosion.
Generally speaking, as long as it was a native cultivator of Yuan Xia, after becoming a Xuan Zun, there was no need for a life contract. Yuan Xia had many ways to control people, so there was no harm in appearing to be more generous.
However, the problem was that after Ceng Yi came to Tianxia, it was difficult to predict the fate of heaven. Until now, they didn't even know if he was alive or dead. This matter was temporarily an unsolved case.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Who is this person? Why are you so concerned about him?"
The envoy hurriedly said, "He's just an unimportant person, but he's still a Daoist cultivator of Yuan Xia. We can't just ignore him."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "If that's the case, I understand. I'll ask about this matter later. "
The envoy thought for a while and felt that this was the only way. He bowed and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Envoy Zhang."
After talking with him, Zhang Yu withdrew his consciousness. He thought for a while and talked with Chief Enforcer Chen about the Xuntian Dao Zhang. After reaching an agreement, he went down to find Chao Huan and said, "Enforcer Chao, there's a person from Yuan Xia. It's inconvenient for me to meet him. After discussing with Chief Enforcer Chen, I've decided to trouble you to investigate this person."
After a while, Chao Huan's interested voice came, "It's rare to have an errand. I'll go now."
After talking with him, Zhang Yu withdrew his consciousness. After sitting in the same place for half a day, he looked at the void that changed from the lower level.
