When Zhang Yu and that Daoist were fighting, Si Lan was also carefully hiding in the distance. Although she couldn't see the changes in the battle, Pure White was able to deduce the general situation of the battle based on the changes in the airflow.
Pure White suddenly said, "The battle is over."
Si Lan suppressed her urge to run and asked nervously, "Who, who won?"
Pure White said, "More than eighty percent it was the previous one."
Si Lan was shocked, "A win is a win, a loss is a loss, why is there a twenty percent chance?"
Pure White said, "Because I can only make judgments based on what I can observe for the time being. Cultivators have a lot of divine abilities and spells, so I can't be sure if the final winner is possessed, and I can't be sure if the fallen cultivator can come back to life."
Si Lan felt stifled, "Looks like I have to go back and improve you."
Pure White said, "That cultivator is coming."
Si Lan thought for a moment and walked out of her hiding place. She then saw Zhang Yu's figure walking towards her. She thought for a moment, then the metal armor on her body melted and disappeared into her forehead. She then went forward and bowed, "Xuanxiu, thank you very much. I don't know where that cultivator came from, but he attacked us as soon as he arrived. If it wasn't for you, I might have died."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and bowed, "That person should be an evil cultivator. He attacked you because he wanted your essence blood and wanted to use it to cultivate evil arts."
Si Lan felt a wave of fear, "Then … is he dead?"
Zhang Yu said, "This person will never appear again."
Si Lan heard this and felt a weight lifted from her heart. She said gratefully, "No matter what, I still have to thank you. My name is Ye Si Lan, how should I address you?"
Zhang Yu said, "My name is Zhang Yu, I am the head of Rising Sun Academy."
Ye Si Lan said, "So it's Zhang Xueling, I am a teacher of Yan Tai Academy. I came with one of my elders to search for an ancient item." She said angrily, "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Fortunately, that person only targeted me and didn't pay attention to the others."
Zhang Yu knew that this was because not everyone would use the Heretic Cultivation Method. Ye Silan's Qi and blood were exuberant. Furthermore, she was a young woman. Thus, she was naturally very attractive to Heretic Cultivators. The Essence of an old man and a middle-aged man had already declined. Thus, the Daoist would naturally not consider them.
At this moment, he said, "The elder Miss Ye is talking about is that elder just now, right?"
Ye Si Lan said, "Yes, his surname is Lu, he is an expert in the study of antiquities.."
Zhang Yu's thoughts, "Antiquities …"
The study of antiques was a branch of ancient natural history, but it was not as broad as natural history. The direction of research was more specific.
This was very normal because the lifespan of mortals was ultimately limited. Except for a few people, most people could only make achievements in a certain field. Only cultivators like him had more time and lifespan to study all kinds of things and see more of the world's wonders.
But at this moment, he recalled that he was unable to discern the origins of the divine statue he'd obtained earlier. Perhaps he could consult Elder Lu and perhaps obtain an answer.
So he said, "I want to meet Elder Lu and ask him some questions. Is Lady Ye willing to introduce me?"
Ye Si Lan said cheerfully, "My pleasure."
Elder Lu and the others were currently waiting near the Cold River Worm. Even though the mercenaries were persuading him to leave first, he was adamant about not leaving.
After waiting anxiously for a long time, he saw Zhang Yu and Ye Silan walking out of the cave together. He could not help but feel nervous. Only when he saw Ye Silan waving her hand at them from afar, indicating that they were fine, did he relax.
After the two sides met up, Ye Silan recounted what had happened just now. Elder Lu was very grateful. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Yu talked with him for a while and found the old man to be very knowledgeable. He said, "I have something I don't understand and want to ask Elder Lu."
"Mr. Zhang is too polite," Old Lu said, "Little Old Man has lived a little longer, so I know a little more. If Mr. Zhang has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask." He looked around, held out his hand and invited Zhang Wuji, saying, "Mr. Zhang, let's talk over here." At the same time he waved his hand, hinting the mercenaries not to follow them.
The two of them walked to the side. Zhang Yu took out the statue and said, "I found this on the evil cultivator's body. Does Elder Lu recognize this statue?"
Elder Lu took a glance and his expression turned solemn. He took out a pair of gloves and put them on before taking the statue over. After carefully examining it, he said, "This should be the Heavenly Fiend General."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "What kind of god is this?" He had never heard of this name.
Elder Lu said, "It's not strange that Mister hasn't heard of it, because this name only existed in the Qingyang Upper Continent." He pondered for a moment, "Mister, have you heard of the matter of the Qingyang Upper Continent being lost in the border region?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I've heard of it."
Since he was active in the Qingyang Upper Continent, he had a general understanding of the situation here.
The so-called Lost Border State referred to the Qingyang Upper State. At that time, there were a total of twenty-five states. However, when the Great Cyan Banyan appeared and covered the Qingyang Upper State, only twenty-three states were included. The other two states were not included.
According to the file, it was because the two provinces were too far away from the main continent that the Great Cyan Banyan was unable to contain them.
Elder Lu said, "Yujing first set up two garrison towns in these two provinces, just like the garrison camp in front. It was only after the population increased that they gradually expanded into two provinces.
Although they were under the rule of the Qingyang Upper Continent, they were under the rule of the Yujing. Therefore, the Qingyang Prefecture rarely interfered with the matters of these two provinces. However, someone secretly reported that there were people in these two provinces who secretly believed in gods. "
Zhang Yu asked, "EsGod?"
Elder Lu shook his head and said, "Not EsGod. Some of them were gods in Tianxia's folklore, and some were deliberately fabricated gods. For example, this' Heavenly Fiend General 'came out like this."
Zhang Yu asked, "Why did they do this?"
Elder Lu said, "I've never been able to figure out exactly how this happened, but one thing is certain. When the parasites in the outer layer arrived, these two prefectures were the first to be infected. By the time it was discovered, things had already reached a point where it was out of control. Many people had already turned into monsters. Perhaps that's why the Great Cyan Banyan didn't encircle these two prefectures later.
Later on, when the Turbid Tide weakened slightly, the Governor Manor also sent people to search, but the place where the two prefectures were originally located was already empty. Not to mention the people, even the many cities there had disappeared together. "
Zhang Yu thought about it and said, "Elder Lu, do you think that the people there might still be alive?"
Elder Lu sighed and said, "Who knows? I hope that they can live well, but I feel that even if they are alive, they will probably become different from us."
Zhang Yu could not help but think. He had originally thought that this Daoist was just an evil cultivator. However, with the Heaven Fiend General's portrait, things had become complicated. He might have something to do with the two lost prefectures.
At this moment, Elder Lu returned the statue to Zhang Yu's hands and suggested, "Mister Zhang, I don't know about the matters of you cultivators, but Mister Zhang is the head teacher of Mizar Academy, so you must have some connections in the military. If you still want to know more about this, you might as well try asking the people in the military. They might know more."
Zhang Yu nodded and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Elder Lu."
Elder Lu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You saved Silan's life. It would be too polite of you to thank me again."
The two changed the topic from before and chatted for a while. Only then did Elder Lu find out that Zhang Yu specialized in ancient natural history and was also very interested in antiques. Elder Lu immediately felt that he had met a kindred spirit. He took out a nameplate from his pocket and said, "Senior Brother Zhang Yu.
"Today, many of my old friends and I have been collecting and organizing antiques from various eras in an attempt to uncover the secrets of the rise and fall of ancient civilizations. If Mister Zhang is interested, you can bring this item to Yan Tai Academy to look for me."
Zhang Yu took the nameplate and said, "Elder Lu, you should be looking for antiques this time, right? However, although that evil cultivator died, some filthy things were left behind. It would be best if you come here again in a few days. "
Elder Lu sighed and said, "After encountering this matter today, it is indeed not suitable for me to stay here any longer." He raised his hand and bowed. "Mister Zhang, then we will part here. If you have time, please come to Yan Tai Academy."
Zhang Yu also bowed and said, "If I have the chance, I will come."
After Elder Lu bid farewell to him, he, Ye Silan, and the others sat on the Frigid River Worm and flew away under the light of the setting sun.
After watching them leave, Zhang Yu took off his gloves and pressed his palm on the statue. In a flash, he sucked out all the Origin Energy on the statue and let it turn into a pile of fine sand.
Before coming to the Qingyang Upper Continent, he had already collected a lot of Origin Energy in the eastern courtyard. In addition to the remaining Origin Energy, the actual amount was quite considerable. However, he needed to confirm whether he could obtain more Origin Energy in the Qingyang Upper Continent before deciding how to distribute it.
Now, it seemed that there was indeed a channel to obtain Origin Energy here. In that case, he could relax a little. After returning, he would need to consider the matter of the visualization diagram.
As for the lost province, he decided to try to find records of it in the archives of Mizar Academy. If he couldn't find it, then he would try to find Su Qian and ask her about it.
Of course, he couldn't place all his hopes on it. He could go back and pay Elder Lu a visit. After all, from his past experience, the chances of finding Origin Energy in ancient ruins and antiques were higher.
After making up his mind, he didn't go underground. Instead, he sat on the Frigid River Worm and drove it back to the camp.
