Zhang Yu and the others could see that the place where the flying boat landed was not the land, but an island on the outskirts.
In fact, the island was very large. It was just that the height was too high when they looked down, so it looked inconspicuous outside the outline of the land.
As they gradually approached, the people on the flying boat discovered that it was a volcanic island. The cone-shaped volcano stood tall and was surrounded by lush trees. On the mountain walls, there were neatly built platforms for mooring boats.
But even far away on the sea, the island was also under the shade of the big banyan tree.
Outside the island, two long white dragons were circling the sea, as if they were patrolling their own territory. After seeing more than ten thousand flying boats from the Guang Ye Camp, one of them suddenly flew into the air and approached the mysterious dragon at the front of the flying boat. The two long dragons circled around each other, as if they were exchanging information with each other.
Then, the white dragon replaced the mysterious dragon and led more than ten thousand flying boats down.
The platforms on the mooring boats emitted rays of light that fell on each flying boat and established a connection with them. From a distance, it looked like a volcano was emitting thousands of colorful clouds.
Under the guidance of the light, Su Qian's Mica flying boat was the first to land on the platform. Then, more than ten thousand flying boats behind her also landed one after another.
When they arrived, Su Qian pressed her hand on the jade board as if she was communicating with someone. But after a moment, she frowned slightly.
After a while, she turned back and said, "Zhang Shijun, as a soldier, you can leave at any time. If you want, I can arrange it for you. But the rest of you, including your entourage and Mr. Liu, I'm afraid you will have to stay on the island for a day."
Zhang Yu looked at her and heard that Su Qian's tone was a little strange. It seemed that there was some trouble and she was hinting for him to leave early.
He did not know why, but judging from the tone and emotional reaction of the person, it was a kind reminder.
He weighed his options and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Field Officer Su."
Su Qian called over a short haired female soldier and said, "This is my assistant warden, Zhang Shijun. She will take you out."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and saluted. He bid farewell to Su Qian and Liu Guang and then stepped out of the main cabin with Wen Yi. He was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he found Li Qinghe and Mo Ruihua and said a few words to them before following Wen Yi to the cabin door.
The cabin door swung open, and he walked out of the flying boat along the bridge. He was still inside the boat platform, but the spacious arc-shaped corridor was made of glazed jade, so he could see the scenery outside at a glance. The sunlight that shone in was warm and clean, and the lush green forest was just below. From time to time, cranes would spread their wings and fly nearby.
On the corridor, there were two rows of soldiers standing on the rooftop, one on the left and one on the right. Seeing that they were coming out from the main cabin, they did not spare them a glance.
Wen Yi took a step to the side and made a gesture of invitation. Her bearing and expression were just right. She said in a clear but gentle voice, "Zhang Shijun, please go this way."
Zhang Yu nodded and walked forward along the corridor. Wen Yi followed a little behind.
The boat platform here was very strict. Along the way, the two passed through four inspection posts and two patrol posts. However, with the Guang Ye Camp's marching jade talisman that Wen Yi showed, they were unimpeded all the way.
Half an hour later, the two came to the exit of the boat platform. Wen Yi put the marching jade talisman into a jade trough that was shining with fluorescent light. The other side of the cabin door swung open, and there were things that looked like beetles neatly arranged inside.
Zhang Yu noticed that these things were about twenty feet long and as tall as a person. The outer shell was a layer of black metal, shining with a bright luster. It was also a mixture of metal and flesh.
Wen Yi said, "This is the 'Creation of Kun Tu' specially made by the Tianji Division for the Military Office. It is called 'Cold River'. It can send us directly to the other side without anyone stopping us."
She took the marching jade talisman and walked in front of a Cold River Worm. She tapped it with her finger, and in an instant, a bright light flashed. The shell on top parted in layers, revealing the soft black seat inside. She then turned to the side and said, "Zhang Shijun, please."
Zhang Yu walked up and sat on the soft seat. He immediately felt that his body was slightly enveloped. It felt warm and comfortable, not as cold and hard as it looked on the outside.
Wen Yi followed in and sat. She put her hand on the jade talisman in front of her. The shell slowly closed, but her vision was not obstructed. Although it dimmed slightly, she could still see the scenery outside clearly.
At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Shijun, if anything happens later, please don't use your mana. Just leave it to me. Please forgive me."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He could see that this creation was also half a living creature. It was clearly different from the flying boat they had been on before. Its interior could not withstand the impact of the power of the Heart's Light.
Wen Yi's slender hand touched the jade talisman again. Cold River's entire body propped up slightly. It climbed out of the cabin steadily and quickly. When it reached the outside, two rows of thin transparent wings separated from the two ends and began to vibrate rapidly. A moment later, it was already in the air. It nimbly shuttled through the dense forest of vines. When it came out of the forest on the island, its speed suddenly increased and it flew towards the land on the other side.
Zhang Yu noticed that as it flew across the surface of the sea, there were creations similar to the Cold River Worm flying by from time to time. Clearly, they were patrolling the sea. However, as Wen Yi said, no one came to stop them.
However, the Cold River Worm did not head towards the densely populated city. Instead, it deviated to the side. After flying for several hours, when it was close to evening, it steadily stopped in the countryside.
The carapace above Cold River parted. Wen Yi walked out from within. She stood at the side and said, "Zhang Shijun, in front is Luliang Town under Anshou County in Ju Province. It's not far from Qingyang Xuanfu in Ju Province."
At this moment, Zhang Yu also walked out. He looked around before saying, "Deputy Wen Cong, just now on the boat, I knew it was inconvenient to ask too much. What did Commandant Su want me to leave first to avoid?"
Wen Yi did not evade his question. She said seriously, "It's to avoid the 'Inspection Department'. They are not friendly towards cultivators. Especially towards a middle level cultivator like Zhang Shijun who possesses powerful mystical powers. It's even more likely that he will be targeted by them."
At this moment, she took out a small booklet from her waist. She held it up with both hands and handed it forward. She said, "This is some records about the Inspection Department. Commandant Su asked me to give it to Zhang Shijun."
Zhang Yu received it. He glanced at it and then put it into his sleeve. He then raised his hand and saluted. He said, "Many thanks to Deputy Wen Cong for sending me off."
As a soldier of Guang Ye Camp, Wen Yi should have saluted. However, she saluted at this moment. Her bearing was graceful and natural. She said, "Zhang Shijun, you're too serious. I wish Shijun a safe journey."
After she bid farewell to Zhang Yu, she returned to the surface of Cold River. A moment later, her thin wings flapped and she flew up again. She returned to where she came from.
Zhang Yu looked into the distance. The setting sun was hanging above the plains. The evening clouds were hazy and the wind was refreshing. A few tall poplar trees by the side of the road were plated with a layer of golden-red. He looked at a small town with continuous houses in front of him and walked over there.
At this time, there was a meow at his feet. Miao Danjun's figure appeared and followed him in the warm light of the setting sun.
Not long after Zhang Yu left the boat's rooftop, a group of people wearing black clothes with swords on their backs and black leather gloves walked in. Regardless of whether they were men or women, their expressions were stern and solemn, causing one to feel intimidated at first glance.
One of them, a middle-aged man with a chiseled face, sharp eyes, and a cold expression, glanced at the people who were about to walk out. He raised his hand and signaled, and the people behind him immediately rushed forward and blocked the inspection entrance.
He said coldly, "Check separately. Don't miss a person. Everyone must have their blood tested."
At this time, a soldier ran over and whispered a few words in his ear. His expression changed, and he snorted. He ordered one of his subordinates to walk here, while he led two men directly to the place where the Mica was anchored.
When the guard in front of the cabin door saw him coming, he did not stop him and directly let him in.
The middle-aged man walked along the cabin door to the main cabin. He saw Su Qian sitting on a soft chair with her slender legs crossed. She was drinking a cup of hot drink comfortably.
The middle-aged man looked at her and said, "Su Qian, I want an explanation."
Su Qian said slightly lazily, "What kind of explanation do you want?"
The middle-aged man said sternly, "There is a middle-level cultivator on this ship. Why did you let him leave in advance? Why didn't you go through the inspection of the Inspection Department? You are violating the laws of Qingyang! If there is a problem with this person, do you know how bad the consequences will be? "
Su Qian raised her eyebrows and said, "Zheng Jiu, don't accuse me. I didn't violate the rules. This Mr. Zhang is a Xia soldier. According to the laws of Tianxia, if a Xia soldier is not summoned by the country, he has the right to 'avoid etiquette, do not worship, and do not go to the interrogation'. Also, I am a Black Armor Lieutenant of the Guang Ye Battalion. If you think I am guilty, then go to the Lingxiao Military Supervisor.
Don't bother me. "She put down the hot drink and said," Oh, by the way, that Zhang Shijun should have gone to Qingyang Xuanfu. If you have the guts, you can go to Xuanfu to arrest him. "
Zheng Jiu looked at her coldly and said, "Let's go."
He turned and walked out. One of his followers behind him said, "Inspector, are we just going to let it go like this?"
Zheng Jiu said coldly, "The Guang Ye Battalion belongs to the Lingxiao Military. We can't do anything to her now. However, the Imperial Supervisor is now negotiating with Yujing about the jurisdiction of the garrison. She won't be happy for long."
The follower said, "Inspector, what about the person who left? Should we go after him? "
Zheng Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Xia soldier … hmph! Find out where this person is staying later. Let's deal with the matter at hand first. "
