While Huito Takeshi was looking outside, he suddenly saw a huge flying ship flying over from afar. However, he had never seen this type of ship before.
He couldn't help but look over. After a while, he saw a dozen metal giants wearing crystal jade armor jumping down from above.
These people's movements were neat and orderly, and their footsteps were uniform. It was obvious that they had undergone strict training.
He asked, "Are they from the military?"
Kuangyan replied, "No, these people's insignia and flags are completely different from the military."
Huito Takeshi looked at these people and thought, "Then who could they be?"
Footsteps came from outside the door. It was the young man called Xiao Hun who came in with a tray covered with red silk. He said, "Mister Huito, I've brought you clothes."
Huito Takeshi turned around and cupped his hands. "Thank you, young man."
Xiao Hun smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. You don't have to thank me."
Huito Takeshi pointed outside. "Young man, do you know who those people are?"
The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know. I heard that they're from a very large encampment." He curled his lips and said, "But I don't like them. Every time they come, they show off."
Huito Takeshi kept this matter in mind.
After Xiao Hun left, he went to the inner room to wash up and change his clothes. Then, he focused on regulating his breathing.
By the time he felt that his heart force had fully recovered, three days had already passed.
He walked to the wall and saw that the flying ship had disappeared. After thinking for a while, he came out of his residence and wandered around outside.
Through the conversations of the people in the encampment, he found out that there was a crude cultivator in every oval-shaped building. Yingxiong was one of them. There were at least ten middle-level cultivators here. This strength was comparable to a large sect in the Upper Region.
However, it would be difficult to establish a foothold in the Wasteland with just these people. However, he knew that there was still a huge creature under his feet. The entire encampment was built on this creature's body. According to Kuangyan's analysis, he suspected that this creature was most likely a Monk Hunjang in the past.
The more a cultivator was tainted by the Great Chaos, the more they would become inhuman. With such a huge body, it might be slightly inclined to become a monster of Chaos. He had no idea how the cultivators here controlled it.
Besides the time he'd come to the Outerealm to obtain the visualization diagram, he hadn't come here again. He felt that this place was a desolate and disorderly place. However, he'd never expected that there would actually be so many powers in the Outerealm, and it had completely shattered his previous impression.
About half a summer later, he returned to the original building. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lil Hun came up to him and said, "Mr. Hui, Mr. Ying is looking for you."
He stepped inside and saw Yingxiong waiting in the hall. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Sorry, Dao Friend Ying, I'm a bit bored here. I'll go out for a walk."
Yingxiong didn't say much about this. He only said, "We can set off now."
Huiyuan Wu said, "I have no more worries here."
Yingxiong said, "Come with me."
He turned around and walked to the right side of the building. Huiyuan Wu stepped forward and followed him. Not long after, the two of them arrived at a berth inside the building and boarded a flying boat. A cultivator in a black overcoat was already sitting there.
Huiyuan Wu saw that the two of them didn't seem to communicate with each other, so he didn't ask much.
After he sat down, he moved his body and the flying boat rose. It slowly came out of the building and sped up toward the Qingyang Upper Continent.
In an underground cave somewhere in the Outerealm, Qi Yu hurriedly came to a warm hot spring. Before he could speak, the Daoist standing next to the spring said, "Huiyuan Wu escaped."
Qi Yu was shocked and said in disbelief, "How can that be? How did he escape? "
The Daoist pondered and said, "It should be an accident. I've already checked. He was rescued by a cultivator who passed by and took away."
Qi Yu said in a deep voice, "Should we chase after him?"
The Daoist said, "There's no need to chase after him. It's been so long, and the news has already been leaked."
Qi Yu frowned and said, "What should we do then? I'm guessing that he'll definitely tell Zhang Xuanzheng about what happened here. Our grand plan can't be ruined by him. "
The Daoist looked at him and said, "But he doesn't know anything, right?"
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe I'm talking too much. I still leaked some information about the connection between the Outerealm and the Outerealm's Daoist sects."
The Daoist smiled and said, "It's fine. I think it'll be better if he just brings the news out. That way, Xuanfu won't have the time to care about us." He paused for a moment and said, "But we can't stay here any longer."
Qi Yu subconsciously looked up and said in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, you've been managing this place for so long. Are you going to give it up just like that?"
The Daoist seemed to be indifferent and said, "We'll have to give up on this place eventually. As long as our plan succeeds, it doesn't make much difference whether it's earlier or later."
Although Qi Yu still felt that it was a pity, he had to admit that the Daoist was right. He said, "I only hope that no one will come and ruin my grand plan."
The Daoist's face turned cold when he heard what Qi Yu said. He said, "That place involves the survival of our generation. No outsiders are allowed to touch it. No matter who comes, we'll just find a way to kill them."
In the Mizar Academy, Zhang Yu was teaching Qing Shu how to practice swordsmanship in the martial arts field on the golden platform. After Qing Shu finished performing a set of sword moves, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "You're learning very fast. You've grasped many key points. Next, you'll have to practice diligently to stimulate your spirituality. However, you still lack a proper sword to fight with others. I'll find a way to get it done for you."
After Qing Shu put on the divine robe, his strength increased rapidly. Ordinary weapons could no longer withstand his strength. Although there were standard swords in the academy, he didn't like them. Thus, he decided to get one made by Tuozhen.
He didn't need a sword like the Cicada Sword in his hand. As long as it was tough and sharp enough, it would suffice.
He gave Qing Shu a few more pointers and left him alone to practice. He returned to the quiet room to adjust his breath and gather his Spirit Energy. After several summers, he finally came out. At this time, he saw Li Qinghe waiting in front of the door. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Qinghe said, "Sir, Xuanxiu Cao sent someone to say that he has something important to discuss with you. He wants to know when you're free?"
Zhang Yu asked, "He came back from the Hongshan Sect?"
Li Qinghe said, "I heard that he came back this morning."
Zhang Yu thought for a while. It had been three days since he sent the letter. Many small sects had chosen to return to Xuanfu. However, there was still no reply from the Hongshan Sect and Miguang Sect.
However, he believed that the other party would definitely give him an explanation.
Because this inspection wasn't pushed by him alone, Zhu Xuan also planned to pave the way for his disciple. Therefore, even the cultivators who had read the fourth chapter of the book wouldn't dare to turn a blind eye to this.
Cao Liang's return to the school this time was most likely because he was ordered to do so.
He said, "You can send someone to tell me that I'm waiting for him here now."
Li Qinghe bowed and said, "Qinghe will arrange it right away."
Zhang Yu returned to the study and looked through the secret seals and visualization diagrams that were once again presented by the various sects. About half a summer later, Li Qinghe came to report, "Xuanxiu Cao has arrived."
Zhang Yu put down the book in his hand and raised his head, "Let him in."
After a while, Cao Liang came in from outside. He clasped his hands and said with a solemn expression, "Xuanxiu Cao Liang of the Hongshan Sect greets Xuanzheng."
After greeting him, Zhang Yu invited him to take a seat. After Li Qinghe poured tea for him, he said, "May I know why Fellow Daoist Cao is looking for me?"
Cao Liang looked at him from his seat and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, the sect master has received a letter from Xuanzheng, so I am here to deliver a letter to Xuanzheng." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Zhang Xuanzheng.
Li Qinghe went forward to receive it and passed it to Zhang Yu. After he opened it, he saw that the other party was writing with an old pen. The pen was heavy and firm. Judging from the character, he was a stubborn and old-fashioned person.
He skipped the greeting and directly read the content below.
As he expected, the other party was negotiating with him.
The letter roughly said that the Hongshan Sect agreed to his inspection and would not obstruct him in any way. In the future, if Xuanfu passed down orders, they would fully cooperate. However, the Hongshan Sect must remain and would not present the seals, secret seals, and visualization diagrams.
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said to Cao Liang, "Does Fellow Daoist Cao know what is written in the letter?"
Cao Liang nodded, "Master has already told me before I came."
Zhang Yu said, "Then Fellow Daoist Cao can go back and explain to the sect master. Now that the two prefectures are planning to expand their territory, I believe the sect master is also aware of this. For the sake of stability, I will only investigate the Nightmares and ignore the rest. As for the matter of the Dao sects, we can temporarily not argue about it."
Cao Liang thought for a moment and stood up to bow. Solemnly, he said, "I, I will pass on Xuanzheng's words to master."
Although he was slightly disappointed that he did not receive Zhang Yu's handwritten reply, this matter finally had a conclusion. He also heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, they were not only facing Zhang Yu and Yun Chen, but also the pressure from the Qingyang Upper Continent's army and prefecture. The Hongshan Sect was definitely not as calm as it seemed on the surface. The hearts of the people in the sect were already wavering.
Because he was anxious to bring the news back to the Hongshan Sect, he did not have the intention to stay here any longer. After another bow, he hurriedly left.
After he left, Zhang Yu also began to ponder.
Those small Dao sects were willing to submit to Xuanfu and hand over their seals and secret techniques, that was because they knew that they were unable to resist the power that he currently possessed.
And the Hongshan and Mi Guang sects dared to negotiate with him, that was because they believed that they still possessed a certain amount of power, so they were temporarily not afraid of him using forceful means.
However, other than Xuanfu, they would definitely not allow the existence of Dao sects. It was just that now was not the right time. After he finished reading the fourth chapter of the book, he would definitely find the time to deal with this generation.
But according to the investigation report from the Inspection Department, the real confidence of these two sects was most likely because they controlled a channel to communicate with the outside world. But where did this channel come from?
