After asking Guan Fu in detail, Zhang Yu asked Li Qinghe to arrange a suitable residence for him. Then he asked Qing Xi to make a cup of hot tea and sat there thinking.
According to Guan Fu, for a long time, the higher-ups of the Six Ru Daoist Sect had been worried. They believed that although they were protected by Xuan Shou and did not need to be inspected by the Inspection Department, sooner or later, something would happen to them if they continued to resist.
Therefore, in the past few decades, the Six Ru Daoist Sect had been preparing for a retreat. They followed the example of the Extraterritorial Dao sects and set up a small station outside the Qingyang Upper Continent.
This was originally a very secret matter. However, the Dao sects were not strict places. The relationship between the master and the disciple was even better than the Dao sects themselves. After a long time, this news naturally leaked out.
According to Guan Fu, the Six Ru Daoist Sect was not the only one doing this. Many Dao sects were secretly making arrangements and planning for a retreat. They all chose to retreat to the Extraterritorial Area. Therefore, in the end, this became a secret that was not public.
This time, Guan Fu noticed that the Six Ru Daoist Sect was faintly showing signs of retreating. However, he did not want to go to those desolate areas. He felt that the Dao sects would be finished, so he decided to take the risk and tell Zhang Yu about it.
Zhang Yu thought that if the Six Ru Daoist Sect really took the initiative to retreat to the Extraterritorial Area, it would seem to reduce a lot of trouble on the surface. However, in fact, things were not so simple.
Every Dao sect and Xuanxiu in the Qingyang Upper Continent were nominally under the control of Xuanfu. If they encountered foreign enemies, they had to stand up at any time. How could they just leave?
To put it seriously, this move was betraying the Qingyang Upper Continent and Tianxia!
If he left it alone, or if it led to other sects to follow suit, then he, Xuanzheng, would also be responsible for failing to supervise it.
When Guan Fu told this just now, he swore that he was absolutely telling the truth.
He was not surprised by such a person. People were changeable and there were all kinds of people in the Dao sects. Since there were people who chose to fight against him, there were naturally people who were willing to draw close to him.
However, there was a problem.
Was what he said true or false?
Could it be a trap set by the Six Ru Daoist Sect or even other Dao sects?
This was something worth pondering.
It was basically impossible to find out the answer from Guan Fu himself, because if this matter was really set up in advance, then those people could have given Guan Fu false information.
If that was really the case, then the other party's method was very ingenious. They were forcing him to come to them.
At this time, he raised his head and said to Qing Xi, who came in with tea, "I'm going out for a while."
Qing Xi asked, "When will Mister be back?"
Zhang Yu: "Very soon."
After he walked out of the golden platform, he glanced at the sky. Then, he turned into a green light and soared into the sky. With a flash of light, he flew toward the southeast.
Regardless of whether Guan Fu was telling the truth or not, he was prepared to head to the Six Ru Dao Sect and take him down first!
This was the right that Xuanting had given to him. If Xuan Zheng suspected that any Xuanxiu had a problem, or could possibly cause harm to the continent, then as long as Xuan Shou did not object, he could capture and interrogate him first.
And right now, Xuan Shou was preparing to send disciples to investigate the various sects with him. Even if he took him down, he would transfer it to his disciples for inspection. Naturally, he would not have any objections.
If this was a trap, then these people would never have thought that the moment he received the news, he would rush over without any hesitation. He had a great chance of catching this person off guard!
Among the sects in the region, the ones that posed the greatest threat to him were undoubtedly Hong Shan and Mi Guang, the two sect leaders who had read the fourth chapter of the book.
But the movements of these two were particularly eye-catching. They would not leave their own sects for no reason, and would not stay in the region for long.
Moreover, the higher one's status, the more things one had to consider. Even if these two wanted to deal with him, they would at most be the ones behind the scenes. At this time, they would not personally appear.
Even if he misjudged the other's strength, he had nothing to fear because he had the Purple Gold Dust and the Heart Reflection Daoist Robe that Xuanting had given him to protect him. If he encountered an irresistible force, he could easily retreat.
In addition to the above, there was another important reason for him to act like this. Only when he began to fulfill his duties as Xuan Shou would he be able to read the seal hidden in the letter.
He believed that the seal given by Xuan Shou would not be simple. If he could learn it early, it would be beneficial for his next move.
As he flew at full speed, the mountains and rivers flew behind him quickly.
The Six Ru Daoist Sect's encampment was located in the Shoot Mountain Range in the northwest of Li Province. This place was only separated from Gao Province, where Mizar Academy was located by Jingzhou.
Jingzhou was a relatively long and narrow prefecture located between the two mountain ranges of Lei Mountain and Shoot Mountain.
With his current speed, it would take at most fifteen minutes to cross the two prefectures and arrive at the mountain range. Then, he would accurately find the location recorded in the book. At this time, the Six Ru Daoist Sect probably did not know that Guan Fu had already arrived at Mizar Academy.
At this moment, in the encampment of the Six Ru Daoist Sect, Sect Leader Jiang Kuang was discussing Zhang Yu with the only peer in the sect, He Gu 'an.
Jiang Kuang said, "Guan Fu should have arrived at Mizar Academy by now, right?"
He Gu 'an said, "That's right. He should have arrived by now. If he can successfully meet with Zhang Xuan Shou, then our plan will have succeeded by half."
Jiang Kuang said, "It seems that we can already begin to arrange for our disciples to retreat."
He Gu 'an was startled and said, "Isn't it a little too early?"
Jiang Kuang shook his head and said, "It's not early. This person has just been appointed as Xuan Shou, so he must be eager to make contributions. Maybe the people he sent to investigate are already on their way. Only by pretending that we are retreating in a hurry will he be able to come."
He Gu 'an thought about it and agreed, "It's good to be cautious. Otherwise, if he sees any flaws, he might not come."
Jiang Kuang sighed and said, "Actually, I hope that he doesn't come. Plotting against Xuan Shou is no small matter. Even if we succeed this time and successfully retreat, how can Xanting let us go in the future? I'm afraid that when Xuan Shou finds out, he will be furious. "
"But what can we do if we don't do it?"
He Gu 'an's voice was extremely suppressed. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Our bodies have been contaminated by Nightmares. If we are caught, only death awaits us. In the past, we could still use Xuan Shou's name to resist the Inspection Department, but now there is Xuan Shou. There is no place for us here!"
Jiang Kuang took a deep breath and said, "Although we have been contaminated by Nightmares, we have never done anything that goes against morality."
He Gu 'an saw it clearly and said, "This is something that will happen sooner or later. Right now, we have been in seclusion all this time and are doing our best to restrain our emotions. That is why we haven't been deeply contaminated. However, what I will do in the future, even I don't dare say. Brother Jiang, do you think that Xuan Shou and the Inspection Department will believe us?"
Jiang Kuang sat there, his expression somewhat dispirited. He said, "Do you think that what we are doing right now is because we have been affected by Nightmares?"
He Gu 'an was alarmed. However, when he thought about it carefully, he really couldn't tell whether this was because of his own conscience or because he had been affected by Nightmares.
He advised, "Ever since we have been contaminated by Nightmares, we have no way out. Moreover, things aren't that bad. As long as we do our best, even if we can't kill Xuan Shou, we can still give the other side an explanation. After we retreat to that place, with that person's protection, even Xuan Shou won't be able to do anything to us. Why should we be so afraid?"
The Six Ru Dao Sect didn't have more than a hundred people, and only the two of them were middle level cultivators. They naturally didn't think that they could take down Zhang Yu with their own strength. However, this time, they weren't the only ones plotting. Previously, they had also received many powerful artifacts from other people. This was their greatest source of confidence.
In fact, even if this matter didn't succeed, they would have completely cut off their own path of retreat. This was enough to gain the trust of those people and allow them to smoothly join them.
Jiang Kuang sighed, "I just can't get past this hurdle in my heart."
A trace of red light flashed in He Gu 'an's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said, "Even if you can't get past it, you have to! Preserving your life is the most important thing! "
Jiang Kuang sat there for a long time before he raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you go arrange for the retreat of the sect's disciples."
He Gu 'an stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go now." He thought for a moment and said, "Sect Master, don't work too hard. Even if everything goes smoothly, there will be news at least tomorrow."
At this time, a trace of red light appeared in the depths of Jiang Kuang's eyes. He said, "I know. Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured. Since I've decided, I won't go back."
Just as the two of them were talking, a green rainbow came from the northwest. It crossed the sky over Mount Rampart and then passed over Jingzhou. It flew directly toward the Six Ru Dao Sect's encampment on Shoot Mountain.
When it got close, the green light paused and then dispersed. Zhang Yu appeared from it. He looked ahead, but there seemed to be nothing in his eyes except for a barren mountain. However, according to the records, that was the Six Ru Dao Sect's encampment.
He thought for a moment and released the Cicada Cry Sword. He attached the Heart Light to it to investigate. Relying on his subtle senses, he immediately found that there were many magic tools set up in front of him.
These magic tools were basically used to detect the enemy, illusion, and so on. As for those with the ability to attack the enemy and defend, they basically did not exist.
This was normal. If there really were such magic tools, cultivators would use them for themselves. Why would they leave them outside? After all, it was completely different if the magic tool was controlled by someone or not.
In the past, True Cultivators still had formations to protect a place. However, those things required formation disks, and under the influence of the Turbid Tide, their power was greatly reduced. Now, very few people used them.
In the past, when facing these magic tools set up outside, he could only rely on the Cicada Cry Sword's senses to try to avoid them. However, now he had a better way.
He took out the Yuanzheng Treasure Ruler that Xuanting had given him and reached out to stroke it. After a flash of light, he raised it above the Six Ru Dao Sect's encampment.
