After Zhang Yu came down from the Crane Hall, he learned that Yun Chen had used the Pure Heart Mirror to examine Li Mo, Yingxiong, and the others, confirming that they had not been infected by the Nightmare.
Seeing that they were all fine, he said to them, "When I was in Liang Province, I reported the matter of the encampment to the two manors through the Inspection Department. I believe that the two manors will soon send a military ship there to deal with this matter. Whether you want to go with them or choose to stay in the continent, you are free to do so. If you choose to stay, I can arrange a place for you to go."
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "Although the outer region is not a good place to go, it is beneficial for our cultivation. Also, I can't give up senior's body. I still have to return to the outer region."
At this time, Yun Chen said, "If you only want to cultivate, you don't have to go to the outer region. If you are willing to stay, I will collect all kinds of magical organs from the two manors and the sects in the outer region through the Xuanfu to provide for your cultivation. However, if Xuanfu issues an order, you will have to obey."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. After the collapse of many sects, many cultivators still needed to be properly arranged. These things should be done by the head of the Xuanfu sect, but now it was handed over to Yun Chen, the disciple of the head of the Xuanfu sect.
Hearing Yun Chen's words, Yingxiong looked calm and did not speak, but the other two cultivators could not help but feel a little moved.
In all fairness, the outer region was too boring. There were only wastelands and ruins. After being imprisoned by the people of the Shuang Province, even if they survived to the end, it left an indelible mark on their hearts. They really did not want to experience something similar again. If they could cultivate in the continent and communicate with more fellow cultivators, who would be willing to go to the outer region to take risks?
Yun Chen saw their hesitation and said, "Since you have been examined, we will re-register you. You may discuss this matter among yourselves. If you decide to stay, then come to me."
Li Mo looked at the two fellow cultivators and saw them nodding. He said, "Then it's settled. Thank you, fellow cultivator Yun. Thank you, Xuan Zheng."
At this moment, Daoist Ming Shan walked forward, stretched out his hand and beckoned to the side, saying, "Everyone, please follow me."
Li Mo, Yingxiong, and the others bowed again, then left with Daoist Ming Shan.
Yun Chen turned around and said to Zhang Yu, "Xuan Zheng, about the things that Xuan Zheng told me last time, I have some ideas. I want to discuss it with Xuan Zheng."
The two of them then came to an inner hall. Yun Chen ordered someone to find a map of the various provinces in the Qingyang Upper Continent and spread it out on the table. He said with great interest, "After Xuan Zheng left that day, I ordered people to investigate the various provinces. Now, I have recovered the two academies that were converted to his use."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the southern and northeastern corners of the map. He said, "These two academies are in Liang Prefecture and Qian Prefecture respectively. We can first set up these two academies, then slowly restore the rest of the academies."
Zhang Yu asked, "Does Daoist Yun have any manpower?"
Yun Chen said, "I have selected some cultivators with outstanding character. After asking, they are all willing to take up positions in the Learning Palace. Previously, the fellow cultivators from the Protectorate who had returned from overseas had always been cultivating in the places arranged by the Learning Palace, but that was ultimately not appropriate. The matters of the Profound Palace still need to be handled by the Profound Palace itself, so I have arranged for them to be placed in these two Learning Palaces."
Zhang Yu asked a few questions in detail, then nodded and said, "This arrangement is very reliable."
Yun Chen was praised, but he sighed and said with some distress, "There are many things to do, and it is also very complicated. We also need to deal with the various provinces. Just the matter of the academies, there is a pile of correspondence. Although I can deal with it, it is still troublesome. Now I can understand why Teacher did not restrict everything before."
At this moment, it was not difficult for Zhang Yu to see that although Yun Chen complained, he was very willing to do this. He could be said to be an anomaly among the True Cultivators.
It seemed that Zhu Xuan had chosen the right person to be the next Xuan Chief.
After discussing the specific arrangements with Zhang Yu, Yun Chen asked someone to put away the map. Then he said, "Recently, the two prefectures have sent letters saying that they are preparing to open up a road to the north, and they need people from the Xuanfu. Teacher entrusted this matter to me. Since Xuan Zheng is not here at the time, I have already agreed. I hope Xuan Zheng will not blame me."
Zhang Yu said, "Daoist Yun, you are too polite. Since Xuan Zheng has handed over the position to you, you should arrange this matter."
As Xuan Zheng, he generally did not interfere with the specific arrangements of the Xuanfu. At most, he would make some suggestions. He was only responsible for monitoring the situation. If someone violated the rules, then he would carry out his responsibilities.
Yun Chen said very sincerely, "I know that the situation now is complicated and changing. There are many things that teacher did not tell me clearly. There are many places where I still need Xuan Zheng's help."
Saying this, he took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Yu. He said, "This time, the people who will go to the north to participate in the battle have been decided. Xuan Zheng, take a look and see if there is anything wrong."
Zhang Yu took it. He looked at it briefly. There were about three hundred people on it. Thirty of them were middle level cultivators, and the rest were low level cultivators. This force could be said to be very impressive. There were no people he had gathered to monitor the situation. Obviously, Yun Chen knew that there should be a distinction here, so he deliberately avoided it.
He handed the list back. He said, "There is nothing wrong."
Yun Chen said, "I am the only one who can use the Clear Heart Mirror, so I plan to send people in batches. Every once in a while, I will call people back for inspection. This way, I can guarantee that no one will be infected by the Nightmares."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. He said, "In the midst of a battle, you can't ask for too much. This is also appropriate. I have no objections."
Yun Chen said happily, "If that is the case, then I will send this list to the two manors tomorrow."
Zhang Yu nodded. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he bid farewell and left. He found Li Mo, Yingxiong, and the others outside. After bidding farewell to them, he flew away from Xuanfu. Not long after, he landed in Wei County. There, he boarded a flying boat and returned to the academy.
On the way back, he occasionally saw flying boats carrying things to the north. The rumbling sound of flying boats piercing through the clouds filled the sky. Without a doubt, the war in the north was in the midst of intense preparations.
A day later, the flying boat returned to Mizar Academy. However, he quickly realized that the atmosphere in the academy was somewhat different from before. Flying boats came and went frequently, and most of the people on the ground had serious expressions. They came and went in a hurry.
The flying boat slowly came to a stop above the Golden Platform. The cabin door opened, and he stepped out.
Li Qinghe, Qing Shu, and Qing Xi heard the commotion and were already waiting here. At this moment, they all saluted and greeted him, "Sir."
Zhang Yu asked, "What is going on outside?"
Qing Shu said, "Sir, in the past few days, the two manors have been mobilizing troops from all sides. They said that they are preparing to open up the northern border. The group of students who have been in the academy for the longest time has already finished their studies and are preparing to go to the battlefield."
Li Qinghe also said, "In the past few days, many teachers and administrators of the academy have also been mobilized to the north. That Director Chai, who verified with Sir, also left yesterday. He also left a letter for Sir. I have already placed it on Sir's desk."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I understand." At this time, he took out three thin pieces of paper. "Each of you take one piece and carefully place it by your side."
Li Qinghe and the other two didn't know what these things were, but they all took them as instructed and put them away properly.
Zhang Yu asked some questions and learned that nothing else had happened during this period of time except for the war in the north. He let them go on their own. After stepping into the Golden Platform and changing his clothes, he came to the quiet room.
He first checked the "Real Spirit of Knowledge" and found that this thing was not much different from when he left.
At that time, Tao Dingfu told him that the "spiritual house" would be "opened" in about half a month. But now, half a month had passed, and there was still no movement.
However, he also remembered that Tao Dingfu had once said that it was best to have the owner by the side when the spiritual house opened. He was not here before. It was very likely that this reason caused the delay in the opening of the "spiritual house".
Of course, this spiritual house had not appeared before, and he didn't know if there would be similar ones in the future. It was not surprising that it was a little different.
He reached out and patted the spiritual house gently. Then, he turned and left. And just after he went out, the spiritual house flickered slightly again.
Zhang Yu stepped out of the quiet room and went to the top floor. As soon as he stepped in, he saw dozens of Miao Dan Lord's silhouettes in front of him. They were not as simple as the silhouettes from before. Each of them had a certain movement. Although they would disappear after a few breaths, new silhouettes would appear after a while.
On the flower shelf next to him, the real Miao Danjun raised his head and called out.
Zhang Yu reached out and stroked it. At this moment, Miao Danjun and his figures all narrowed their eyes and teased the little leopard cat. He came under the azure stone platform and sat down on the soft couch. Then, he took out a thin piece of paper and looked at it. He fell into deep thought.
He originally thought that after finding the World Gap, as far as the internal affairs of the Qingyang Upper Continent were concerned, only the Hongshan Sect and the Miguang Sect were left to solve the Xuanfu matter. But he didn't expect that now there was an additional matter of the creator.
Originally, the Xinhui Sect was trustworthy. But now, he couldn't let them enter the World Gap.
Those who went through the World Gap to explore the Outer Continent must have never been attacked by the Nightmares, and they couldn't be creators.
If one had to name the most trustworthy people, it would undoubtedly be the cultivators from the Dongting Protectorate.
According to Wan Ming, the technology of the Artisans had matured more than sixty years ago, so they might have sent some babies and children to the protectorate. However, he was still optimistic about the situation of the protectorate overseas.
After the arrival of the Turbid Tide, the protectorate had been cut off from the mainland for sixty years. Even if the Artisans had managed to survive, they would have been at least sixty years old. Now, they should all be very old. If they weren't cultivators, then it was likely that they were already dead.
And now, all the cultivators who came to the Qingyang Upper Continent to study, including Fan Lan and Qi Wu, were born in the Protectorate. This meant that they definitely weren't creators. They were the most trustworthy. He could arrange for them to enter the World Gap first, or he could simply transfer some people from the Dongting Protectorate.
He looked out the window. Flying boats were taking off, reminding him that the war was approaching.
His gaze was deep. His current strength wasn't enough to deal with the upcoming situation. Fortunately, he had gained a lot from this trip to the World Gap. Now, he could begin to deduce his own visualization diagram.
