Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Xiang Chun and Chen Song had different reactions.
Chen Song didn't show much joy. Instead, he was a little worried. He cupped his hands toward the main seat and said, "Xuan Shou, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."
Zhang Yu wasn't displeased. He nodded and said, "Senior Brother Chen, what do you think is inappropriate?"
Chen Song said, "Normally, people of our generation in Xuanfu have to obtain the approval of Xuanting if they want to cultivate the third book. However, in the past, Dongting had no contact with the mainland. In order to deal with the enemy, we didn't have to adhere to this rule. However, now that the flames of war have been ignited, if we continue to cultivate it, Xuanting will blame us for it. Therefore, I implore Xuan Shou to take back this order."
Xiang Chun only remained silent.
Zhang Yu said, "Senior Brother Chen's words make sense. However, the main reason I gave the cultivation method to you is to prevent the incident at the Honghe Pass from happening again.
The situation in Dongting is complicated. There are countless EsGods on this continent, and the depths of the mainland have yet to be explored. There is also the Revival God Society stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Since I am the Xuan Shou, I have to make some plans for Xuanfu.
I also found out that there is someone else trying to overthrow Xuanfu, so we have to be careful. "
He looked at Xiang Chun and said, "Senior Brother Xiang, I have already found some clues about the memorial tablet you gave me. The person behind Deng Mingqing is most likely an old cultivator who wants to overthrow Xuanfu." He briefly explained the matter of Zhengqing's disciple to the two of them.
After Xiang Chun and Chen Song heard this, they were both shocked. They really didn't expect that there was a real cultivator behind this.
Zhang Yu said, "If this disciple of Zhengqing is still in the Protectorate, he will definitely not give up his original plan. However, he is bound by the oath. As long as Xuanfu doesn't fall into chaos, he will be fine.
Naturally, I'm only passing down this seal as a precaution. I'm not forcing Senior Martial Brothers to read it. If Senior Martial Brothers wish to return to the mainland to cultivate, then that's the right path. I won't stop you. "
When Chen Song heard this, he sighed and said, "So it was Head Xuan's painstaking effort." He thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Head Xuan, I have an idea that might satisfy both sides."
Zhang Yu said, "Senior Martial Brother Chen, please speak."
Chen Song stood up. Solemnly, he cupped his hands and said, "Head Xuan, I wish to withdraw from Xuanfu."
Xiang Chun was shocked. He looked at Chen Song with a complicated look in his eyes.
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and immediately understood what he meant. He asked, "Senior Brother Chen, have you thought it through?"
Chen Song said without hesitation, "I've thought it through. If I'm not a member of Xuanfu, then I won't be bound by these rules when I cultivate this method.
Moreover, apart from Senior Martial Brother Xiang and Head Xuan, no one in the Protectorate knows that I'm still alive. Those who are secretly plotting against Xuanfu don't know either. This way, no matter how things develop, I can become the last barrier of Xuanfu. "
Xiang Chun couldn't help but say, "Junior Martial Brother Chen, if you do this, then it's really impossible for you to recover your identity."
Chen Song said firmly, "Back then, Brother Qiao was able to hide in the Army of God for twenty years in order to complete the task entrusted to him by Master. In the end, he even sacrificed his life for it. Why can't I?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Since Senior Martial Brother Chen has such intentions, then I won't stop you. However, there's no need to rush this matter. Senior Martial Brother Chen, perhaps you can wait until you regain contact with the mainland and see how the situation changes before making a decision."
Chen Song hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "As Head Xuan says."
Zhang Yu waited for Chen Song to return to his seat before saying, "Now, let's talk about the Army of God. The Protectorate only has Xuanfu's forces, and it's not enough to protect all of the protectorate's territory. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Xiang Chun said, "Head Xuan, I've discussed it with a few of my junior martial brothers. We'll revert to the old rules and select pure-blooded Tianxia to wear the divine robes. This force can be handed over to the protectorate, but the Yi Jade must be left in Xuanfu. This way, we can ensure that there won't be any chaos like before."
As Xiang Chun spoke, he produced a jade box from his sleeve and pushed it forward, saying, "The Yi Jade is here. Head Xuan, please take a look."
Zhang Yu allowed the box to float to the table. He reached out to open it and saw a flat piece of beautiful jade surrounded by a golden frame. It looked like a jade mirror, and from time to time, a strange light flickered on its surface.
At this time, Chen Song said, "Head Xuan, I have some suggestions." When Zhang Yu looked over, he continued, "I think that only using pure-blooded Tianxia people is overkill. In fact, as long as they didn't side with EsGod when Auspicious Light City fell, they can be trusted because they have already proven that they are true Tianxia people."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. Chen Song's words made some sense.
However, this matter could be slowly adjusted in the future, but it was not feasible now. Because of the Army of God's previous performance, the people of Dong Ting were extremely distrustful of the Army of God, and this distrust would spread even further. Therefore, they could only be slightly stricter now. Only when the image of the Army of God was slowly reversed could they consider this matter.
He said, "The Army of God will be handled according to Senior Martial Brother Xiang's suggestion. As for Senior Martial Brother Chen's suggestion, we can discuss it after the situation stabilizes." At this point, he paused for a moment. "But right now, we still have one more thing to do."
Hearing his serious tone, Xiang Chun's expression also became more serious. "Head Xuan, what is it?"
Zhang Yu looked at the two of them and said, "These days, the turbid tide has gradually subsided. In a few days, I will lead everyone to the Resting Land of the Gods and destroy Azizama City in the depths of the inland, so that these Blood Sun remnants will never be able to wake up from their long slumber."
The Land of the Resting Gods had to be dealt with. This was also a complete end to the war sixty years ago.
What the predecessors had not done, it would be done by their generation.
Hearing this, Xiang Chun and Chen Song's expressions became serious. They stood up from their seats and said, "Yes, Head Xuan."
After the three of them finished discussing some matters, Zhang Yu let Xiang Chun and Chen Song leave.
Actually, as Head Xuan, he still needed to have a successor ceremony. However, there were too many things to do at the moment. Moreover, if he were to do this, the entire protectorate would be alarmed. Moreover, he did not know how long he would be sitting in this position. Thus, he might as well skip this ceremony and just let Xiang Chun pass on the message. Then, he would inform the protectorate and the academy.
However, he was different from Qi Ming. He did not like to stay in the stuffy cave. Qi Ming might think that this was the only way to maintain his mysteriousness and protect himself, but he did not need to. Thus, he directly returned to his residence in Taiyang Academy.
In the next few days, he used the notes of his predecessors to ponder his own cultivation path.
As for the various matters of Xuanfu, he completely handed them over to Xiang Chun. This person had been in charge of the affairs of Xuanfu for more than fifty years and knew the specific situation better than him. He did not need to interfere. As long as he grasped the general direction, there would be no problem.
On this afternoon, Li Qinghe came to report, "Sir, a female guest is here to visit you. She said that you told her before that if she had any trouble, she could come to you."
Although Zhang Yu was in the room, he was aware of the changes in the outside world. He also knew who the visitor was. He said, "Let her in."
After a while, a tall woman with short hair and a clear face walked in. She was beautiful and looked very heroic. She bowed to Zhang Yu and said, "Mister Zhang."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Captain Mo, sit down and talk."
Captain Mo acknowledged and carefully sat down at the side. However, even though she was sitting there, her back was still straight.
Zhang Yu said, "Captain Mo, is there a reason why you're looking for me?"
Captain Mo had a straightforward personality and spoke frankly. She said seriously, "I want to be Mister Zhang's assistant."
Zhang Yu did not comment and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Captain Mo said, "The Army of God now only wants the pureblood of Tianxia. Although my father is from Tianxia, my mother is just an ordinary barbarian girl, so I can't go back. I think Mister may need someone to run errands around. However, if Mister thinks I'm not suitable, I will leave immediately. I will not waste Mister's time."
Zhang Yu asked, "Captain Mo, I haven't asked for your name before."
Captain Mo said, "My name is Mo Ruohua."
Zhang Yu said, "I've seen your words before. You should have been educated. Is there anyone else in your family?"
Captain Mo shook her head and said, "There's no one else. My mother died of an illness when I was three years old. My father was originally a retired soldier in the Rearguard Army. He went out to sea seven years ago and never came back. In order to make a living, I could only be a hired hunter. I hunted some rare beasts for rich businessmen to make a living. Sometimes, I also protected passenger ships going out to sea, fought against pirates, and participated in rounding up heretical believers. Later, an Army of God corporal saw that I was skilled in martial arts and recruited me into the Army of God."
She paused for a moment, then said seriously, "After I put on the divine robe, I went around killing spiritual creatures. I didn't have any background, I just relied on my own merits. In one year, I became a sergeant, and in two years, I became a squad leader. I fought for all of this myself."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "You can go back first."
Captain Mo felt a little sad. She felt that Zhang Yu might not like her, but she didn't argue. She stood up and said, "Okay, Mister. Then I'll take my leave."
Zhang Yu added, "If you have any personal matters, you can go and deal with them first. If Dongting and Tianxia get in touch, I will go back to Tianxia. If you haven't changed your mind by then, you can follow me back to the mainland as a servant."
Captain Mo heard this and immediately became spirited. She clasped her hands and said loudly, "Yes, Mister. I will be there."
