At this time, Zhang Yu discovered that what was hidden within this profound jade was the seal of the third chapter. It was no wonder that he couldn't see it at the time.
He carefully examined it and confirmed that this seal was called the "Word Seal". After a cultivator viewed it, they could use words to mobilize mental force, subdue enemies, and display all kinds of miraculous abilities.
On the surface, this seal didn't look too different from an ordinary seal, but he kept feeling that it wasn't that simple. Otherwise, there was no need for the predecessors to deliberately hide it within the profound jade for later generations to discover. This was especially the case when it required the coordination of an old cultivator's breathing technique to sense it. This made the majority of people feel excluded.
Moreover, this seal was different from the seals he had come into contact with before. This seal didn't have any predecessors' wills on it. It was completely blank.
For something like a seal, the predecessors' wills were extremely important. This was because it meant that the predecessors' experiences could be used by later generations to quickly grasp the key to this seal. Without the guidance of the predecessors, the cultivator would need to use their own understanding to fumble for the method of operation within.
It was just that right now, he just happened to lack a seal of the third chapter that could be used in battle, so he didn't have the right to be picky. Since he saw it, there was no harm in using it first.
He immediately summoned the Great Dao Profound Chapter. His will fell upon it, and he began to view this seal.
However, he quickly discovered that this time, he used up quite a bit of divine essence. The amount he used up was enough to view three or four seals.
Only, this way, he was even more certain that this seal wasn't simple. Now that he had already viewed it, then he could slowly fumble for its mysteries while he was out of the jungle.
After resting here for a while, he and Captain Mo set out again, heading in the direction of the jungle.
Once he reached the jungle, he could try to capture some natives or spiritual creatures and figure out the direction of Mount An. If he headed in this direction, he would eventually be able to leave.
As for the dangers he might encounter along the way, in the past, he might have tried to avoid them. However, with his current abilities, he already didn't need to worry too much.
Near the Honghe Pass, a steady stream of goods was being transported up from the rear. Following them were the commoners conscripted by the protectorate. The destroyed fortifications were being rebuilt, and the damaged weapons were also being replaced and repaired.
Dou Chang, Qi Wu, Fan Lan, and the others were still standing guard here.
After the Army of God left, there were not many supernatural beings left at the mountain pass. Although the Mad God was dead, the Bloodfeather warriors and natives did not completely retreat. They were still lingering in the forest on the other side of the Flood River, as if someone was still restraining them.
In addition, a huge white light flashed in the sky a few days ago. Something abnormal must have happened in the forest. Under such circumstances, they were even more afraid to leave.
At this moment, in the training hall inside the fortress, they were giving pointers to several newly arrived young Xuanxiu. Suddenly, a panting soldier rushed in, his face full of fear, and said, "Fellow Xuanxiu, opposite shore, opposite shore …"
Before he could finish, the sound of a horn came from outside. Dou Chang and the others knew that something was wrong. They immediately came out from the inner hall and came to the platform. Looking around, they saw huge spiders crawling out from the depths of the forest on the other side of the Flood River. Following the appearance of these things, the natives, priests, and Bloodfeather warriors who had not retreated previously also came out one after another.
However, when they saw the figures sitting on the spiders, their breathing stopped. They were actually more than ten native EsGods emitting divine light. Two of them were actually the two Marquises of the Army of God, the Lower Marquis Qi Dian and the Left Marquis He Jiang!
Not only that, even further away, two figures that were as large as small mountains appeared in the forest. Even standing in the fortress, they could clearly feel the abundant divine power.
These two EsGods were even more powerful than the Mad God!
Dou Chang said with a grave tone, "It seems like the Army of God is indeed colluding with the EsGods. Junior Brother Qi, immediately send a letter. This matter is urgent. Tell Senior Brother Xiang and the protectorate to send people over as soon as possible. The sooner the better!"
Qi Wu immediately said, "Senior Brother, I'll go immediately."
In Auspicious Light City, Chen Song walked with heavy footsteps toward the Hall of Past Affairs. Along the way, no one even looked at him. It was as if they did not even notice his existence.
He had already gone to take a look at the location of the decisive battle. There was nothing left except for a huge pit. He also heard that the Army of God's Marquis Zhu Que had returned to the Army of God's encampment.
This battle was clearly his teacher's loss.
He did not know how the situation would turn in the future, but according to Qi Yu's instructions, he had to stand up and take responsibility.
He raised his head and stepped into the Hall of Past Affairs.
This was the first time he had returned here after faking his death.
Xiang Chun was currently reviewing documents when he suddenly felt something strange. The brush in his hand stopped, and he slowly raised his head. Seeing that it was Chen Song standing in front of him, he could not help but have a complicated expression. He sighed and said, "Junior Brother Chen, you …"
Chen Song walked over and sat down in front of him. "Senior Brother, I'm not dead. It's just that …" He revealed a trace of sadness. "Teacher has passed away …"
Xiang Chun was silent for a moment before he said, "I already know." He looked at Chen Song. "Teacher said before he left that if he did not return, someone would take over the position of Head Xuan. I think it should be you, Junior Brother Chen."
Chen Song nodded and said, "Yes, this was what Teacher told me before he left."
Xiang Chun looked at him and said, "Then, do you know what to do after Xuanfu comes down?"
Chen Song thought for a moment, and a determined look appeared in his eyes. He said, "Without Teacher holding the fort, Xuanfu may be suppressed for a period of time. We can only try our best to endure. If it really doesn't work out, I'll ask Junior Brother Ying to come back." He revealed a sincere expression. "Senior Brother, we have to persevere no matter what. We have to persevere until the turbid tide subsides and until the flames of war are reignited.
Senior Brother Chen, please help me. "Xiang Chun nodded and stood up. He walked around the table and came to Chen Song's side. He placed his hand on his shoulder and said expressionlessly," Junior Brother Chen, I'm sorry. "
Chen Song immediately realized that something was wrong. His heart's light burst forth, but it was immediately suppressed bit by bit.
Xiang Chun looked at him and said, "It's useless. The surroundings of the Hall of Past Affairs have already been smeared with elixir water. I found this elixir water in an ancient book. It's not within the range of your heart's light's rejection. When you walked in, you already had no chance."
Chen Song reacted and said, "So you've already made arrangements, Senior Brother." He raised his head. "Senior Brother, what are you planning to do?"
Xiang Chun sighed. "I didn't want to do this at first, but I didn't expect Teacher to be so biased. He actually left the position of Head of Xuanfu to you.
It's been more than fifty years. Ever since Teacher went into seclusion, I've always been by his side. I'm in charge of internal and external affairs. I know the names of everyone in Xuanfu.
I was in charge of rebuilding all the branch residences. I personally arranged all the personnel, and I helped set all the rules.
Where were all of you when I was doing all this? What did all of you do?
But now that you've returned, you want to take the position of Head of Xuanfu with just one sentence. I definitely won't agree! "
He looked at Chen Song again and said, "Junior Brother Chen, you're too soft-hearted. I know you want to save me some face, but if you came to see me after meeting all the junior brothers, I really don't know what to do."
He reached out and a piece of Xuan Jade flew out from Chen Song's body. He held it in his hand and said, "I'm very happy that you brought this thing here."
Chen Song calmed down at this moment. He sat there and said, "Senior Brother Xiang, do you know why Teacher didn't let you take the position of Head of Xuanfu?"
Xiang Chun stared at him and said, "That's because he trusts you more than me. Among all the senior brothers, you're the closest to him in terms of cultivation. I know that he's always treated you as his true successor."
Chen Song shook his head and said, "No, do you think Teacher doesn't know what you've done?"
Xiang Chun frowned. "What have I done?"
Chen Song raised his head and said slowly, "Junior Brother Lin's talent wasn't bad back then, but why was he surrounded by heretics? The news was sent out, but no one came to save him? He lost an arm, and even if he was saved, there was no hope for him to cultivate. Also, Junior Brother Yu was as talented as him, but why did he betray Xuanfu? "
He looked straight into Xiang Chun's eyes and said, "You're too greedy for power. You'll try to eliminate anyone who threatens your position.
Do you think Teacher doesn't know what you've done? He already knows that Teacher treats you like his own son. He also knows that you've worked hard for a long time, so even if he knew what you've done, he couldn't bear to blame you or punish you. "
He sighed. "I know that you've had your eyes on me. In order to avoid more infighting, I suggested faking my death, and Teacher agreed. Unfortunately, Junior Brother Ying had to bear this bad reputation.
Speaking of Junior Brother Ying, he was the one who Teacher trusted the most. If only he was still here, then there wouldn't have been so many things later on.
I heard that Junior Brother Xu came up with something called 'Xiulin Strategy' to protect the geniuses in the residence. Sadly, he didn't know that the one he had to guard against the most wasn't Junior Brother Ying, but you! "
Xiang Chun's expression changed slightly. After a while, he said, "You can say whatever you want. I have a clear conscience towards Xuanfu."
Chen Song struggled for a while and advised, "Senior Brother, stop. We can't have any more infighting."
"Infighting?" Xiang Chun nodded and said, "You're right. We can't have any more infighting. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Xuanfu can't go on like this."
Chen Song was stunned and said, "Senior Brother, what are you planning to do?"
Xiang Chun looked out of the window and said in a deep voice, "Xuanfu has protected the Protectorate for sixty years, but the Protectorate used Xuanfu to fight against the Army of God to maintain the balance. Now, Xuanfu should walk its own path."
