Zhang Yu looked for a while and said, "Senior Brothers, let's prepare to leave now. Once the war starts, it won't stop easily. Qian Province might be involved soon."
This place was too close to the battlefield in the north. It was not a guess that Tai Bo would cross the sea and come here. It could happen at any time.
Qi Wu immediately said, "I'll go arrange it now." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Fan Lan looked at the flashes of light in the sky from time to time and felt the dull roar. He couldn't help but sigh. He was also someone who had experienced war, but compared to the war in Dongting and the war in front of him, it was simply not the same thing.
In Dong Ting, the cultivators and EsGod were the main forces that decided the outcome of the war. However, in Qingyang, the main forces of the war seemed to be the mortals, and the cultivators were relegated to the periphery. He could not tell whether this was good or bad.
At this time, another thunder sounded, and in the dark sky, heavy rain poured down. When the rain reached the two of them, it was blocked by a layer of light and drifted away.
The two of them did not stand there for long and returned to the hall.
Zhang Yu sat on the cushion again and said, "Senior Brother Fan, have you and Senior Brother Qi chosen a visualization diagram?"
Fan Lan nodded and said, "There are many visualization diagrams in Xuanfu. After Junior Brother Qi and I read the third chapter, we each chose one. We are now cultivating it."
Zhang Yu didn't ask what the two of them had specifically chosen, because this involved a cultivator's own secrets. However, if the two of them had chosen the Profound Palace's visualization diagram, because those things had long been made public, in the event of a battle between fellow cultivators, it would be easy for others to target them. From the looks of it, it was not a bad choice to let them go to the World Gap.
He said, "Senior Brother Fan, have you sent any letters back and forth from Dong Ting recently?"
Fan Lan said, "After I settled down here, I sent a letter. Now that the two sides have communicated with each other, we should be able to communicate within a month. Everything is fine over there."
While the two of them were talking, two silhouettes walked in through the curtain of rain outside. The one walking in front was Yan Yuming, and the one walking behind him was Zheng Yu, the young man.
As soon as Yan Yuming entered and saw Zhang Yu, he said excitedly, "Teacher!" He quickly walked forward and bowed respectfully. "Disciple Yan Yuming greets Teacher!"
Zheng Yu was also very happy. He came forward and bowed. "Mister Zhang." They had heard about Zhang Yu's arrival from Qi Wu, so they hurried over to greet him.
Zhang Yu nodded and asked, "How have you been?"
Yan Yuming said, "Teacher, there are a lot of seals and secret methods to learn in the Qingyang Upper Continent. I can't learn them all in a short time. This place is big and there are many objects. It's just that there are too few people who share the same path. There are even fewer people in the East Court."
Zheng Yu also nodded.
Zhang Yu then looked at Zheng Yu and said, "It's been a long time. Young Master Zheng, you've also cultivated Heart Light."
Zheng Yu was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm much slower than the other senior and junior brothers."
Fan Lan smiled and said, "It's okay if you're slower. We cultivators still need to see how far we can go."
After they chatted for a long time, Qi Wu walked back and said, "Almost everything has been arranged. It's just that the people are moving. I asked just now, and the flying ship that Xuanfu gave us was temporarily borrowed. It can't be transferred back for a while. It looks like we can only travel by sea."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "The sea route is too slow, and the journey will be very delayed. How about this, I'll borrow a few flying ships and try to leave tomorrow."
He remembered that there was a Daoist sect near Qianzhou. Although there weren't many people in this sect, they had many properties, including a few flying ships and hundreds of houses. These properties were allowed to remain, so it wouldn't be difficult to borrow them now.
He immediately wrote a letter and asked the city's post office to send it.
On the second day, two bug-shaped flying ships flew over. After they landed, they stretched out their legs and landed steadily in front of the academy. The cabin door opened, and a cultivator in his fifties came out. He was brought into the hall by a servant. When he saw Zhang Yu, he respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Huang Fu greets Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu recognized this person. He used to be the leader of a sect. He didn't expect this person to come in person this time. He raised his hand to return the greeting and said, "I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Huang this time."
Huang Fu hurriedly said, "You're too kind, Xuan Zheng. You're too kind. Xuan Zheng, if you have any problems in the future, you can look for me again."
Because the rumbling in the sky didn't stop for the entire night, it only became a little sparse at dawn. Zhang Yu was afraid that something unforeseen would happen if he waited any longer, so he immediately arranged for people to board the flying ship as soon as it arrived.
About half an hour later, everyone boarded the flying ship. When the cabin door closed, white smoke spewed out from the bottom of the bug-shaped flying ship. Under Huang Fu and the others' gazes, the ship slowly rose into the sky and flew into the distance.
About half a day after they left, two metal giants floated down from the sky. However, what they saw was an empty academy. They asked the servant in charge of cleaning up and found out that everyone had left this morning.
One of them said, "Damn it, they left so quickly. Let's go back!"
The other person said, "We're going back just like that?"
The first person said in a bad mood, "They're all gone. What else can we do?"
He snorted, "The higher-ups have miscalculated this time. They thought that by arranging these cultivators here, when the war starts, they can use this as an excuse to transfer them. However, they're much smarter than they thought."
The two of them came quickly and left quickly. After staying for a while, they rose again and flew into the clouds.
Because the existence of the World Gap was still a secret, and traveling through the continent was likely to be recorded by the two prefectures, Zhang Yu chose to go out to sea from the east this time. He traveled along the coastline all the way to the south, and finally turned west to go directly to the outer realm.
The journey was smooth. After about six days, they finally arrived at the sky above the World Gap. The bug-shaped flying ship stopped directly outside the lake of the great rift valley. Then, everyone followed Zhang Yu through the flickering fog and entered the World Gap.
Somewhere in the wilderness outside the Azure Sun Upper Continent, there was a huge military camp. Hundreds of flying ships were docked on the dock, surrounded by densely packed fortresses. In the sky above, there were several figures of flood dragons circling in the clouds.
At this moment, in a spacious underground training ground, a crystal jade giant was fighting with a cultivator. Surprisingly, the cultivator was a sword cultivator. As his sword light swam about, it was like a bolt of lightning. The sword energy was abnormally sharp. Wherever it passed, it would either split the atmosphere or leave fine sword marks on the metal floor and walls.
The crystal jade giant only covered its head and face with its hands. When the sword light slashed on its body, except for bursts of sparks, it was not damaged at all.
After a while, the cultivator waved his hand and withdrew his sword. It hovered behind his back and said, "Leader Fang, your crystal armor is thick. If I don't use my Spirit-Severing Sword, I can't hurt you."
The crystal jade giant put down its hand. Its blood-red crystal eyes flashed and said, "Why don't you try, Mr. Lin?"
The cultivator surnamed Lin shook his head and said, "Then it'll be a fight to the death. It'll be a great loss for me." He looked at the other party and said, "I know Leader Fang hasn't used his spiritual power, so this battle should be Leader Fang's victory."
The Crystal Jade Giant pointed at its forehead, and the armor covering its body immediately retracted. A tall and skinny young man with pale skin and a bald head appeared from within. His eyes were light yellow, and there were two pupils in them.
He walked to the stone platform and sat down, saying, "Mr. Lin, in other words, if I meet cultivators like you who are good at controlling swords in the future, my chances of winning will be very high?"
The cultivator surnamed Lin pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "It's not that simple."
"Oh, tell me about it." Leader Fang took a crystal-colored medicinal liquid from the table and raised his head to drink it. He then wiped his mouth and said, "We have plenty of time."
The cultivator surnamed Lin looked at him and said, "In other words, you always seem to think that one cultivator represents all cultivators.
But in reality, cultivators themselves represent change. Every cultivator is different. Even if a person has one more magic tool or one less magic tool, there will be a great difference in their combat strength.
What's more, Xuanxiu and Hun Xiu are different. The new method is different from the old method. How can they be lumped together? "
Leader Fang said, "I understand what you mean. You're saying that I can defeat you, but I might not be able to defeat another cultivator who also uses swords?"
The cultivator surnamed Lin nodded and said, "That's the truth."
Leader Fang said, "I heard that your Xuanfu has a new Xuan Zheng. He also uses swords. Have you seen him before?"
"I've never seen him before. I've only seen him fight in paintings."
Leader Fang revealed an even more interested expression and said, "What do you think of this person's strength? How does he compare to you? "
The cultivator surnamed Lin muttered to himself for a moment and said, "I've never fought him, so I can't make a judgment. But from his moves, he's not an easy opponent. Moreover, he's received the Xuanting's edict. He must've made great contributions in the past to be recognized by the Xuanting. This kind of person must've gone through harsh tests. His temperament and tenacity surpass that of ordinary people. I think that if I were to fight him, my chances of winning wouldn't be great."
Leader Fang thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense." He suddenly smiled and said, "But Mr. Lin, you're wrong about one thing."
The cultivator surnamed Lin frowned and said, "What is it?"
Leader Fang raised his hand. Suddenly, two small dragons about a foot long appeared behind him. They had bat wings on their backs and long whiskers fluttering above their heads.
When the cultivator surnamed Lin saw these things, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. He couldn't help but reveal a vigilant expression.
Leader Fang said, "These are rare dragons. They're a new kind of creation. Although they're small, if they're released by themselves, they can contend with someone like Mr. Lin." He smiled and said, "Just now, you said that cultivators are different from each other. I admit that. But we don't only have ourselves. We also have all kinds of creations and profound weapons."
He stood up and took a few steps forward. He looked at the cultivator surnamed Lin with an oppressive gaze and said, "Mr. Lin, go back and carefully consider our proposal. Just which side do you, the foreign dao sects, intend to stand on in the upcoming war?"
