Zhang Yu's voice was indifferent, but the meaning behind his words shook the hearts of everyone.
In particular, his visualization diagram used the Word Seal as its foundation. If he intentionally used Heart Force and combined it with his ability to speak, then his words would naturally carry great power.
Daoist Xue and the black-clothed Daoist were both people who were experienced in battle. They would never be moved by words, but when they heard this, they actually hesitated for a moment.
Red light flashed in the black-clothed Daoist's eyes. He leaned back, and one could see his entire body turn illusory, silently merging into the atmosphere. It seemed like he would vanish before everyone's eyes in the next moment.
However, just as he was about to complete this action, he seemed to have encountered some sort of obstacle. His body suddenly trembled, and he was actually forcefully forced out of the illusory state.
At some unknown time, the surroundings of the three of them had been enveloped by balls of faintly discernible jade mist. The black-clothed Daoist had collided with this and was momentarily obstructed, preventing him from escaping.
However, he was still unwilling to give up. The black mist behind him surged as if something was about to leap out from within.
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "Suppress."
When the black-clothed daoist heard this, the thing that seemed to be about to emerge from the black mist behind him was immediately suppressed. The heartforce around his entire body also instantly withdrew into the depths of his mind. Meanwhile, in this instant, the surrounding jade mist drifted over, wrapping around him.
His eyes were completely red as he moved his hands and feet, roaring furiously as if he wanted to struggle out from within.
However, at this moment, there was a flash of light before him. It was like the morning light had parted all clouds and haze. A jade ruler appeared out of nowhere and landed lightly, striking his forehead. His entire body shook, and the red light in his eyes was restrained. At this moment, his gaze actually became clear.
He glanced at the surroundings and sighed slightly. However, he no longer struggled, allowing the jade mist to envelop him layer by layer until he vanished.
Daoist Xue's scalp went numb as he watched from the side, and he was extremely shocked. He believed that he had seen various methods, but he had never seen a single word that could make a cultivator lose the ability to fight.
In fact, when the black-robed Daoist attacked just now, there was a moment when he couldn't help but want to join in the fight. However, he was still suppressed by the rationality in his heart.
He was a cautious person. Facing an opponent like Zhang Yu who he couldn't see through, he would rather choose to observe the situation first. Now that he saw this scene, he didn't dare to make a move easily.
Zhang Yu turned to Daoist Xue and said, "That person has already made his choice. What do you say?"
Daoist Xue knew when to yield and when to stand tall. He immediately lowered his posture and said in a very sincere tone, "I'm willing to surrender."
Zhang Yu asked, "Are you a Genuine Cultivator?"
Daoist Xue said self-deprecatingly, "I guess I can be considered a true cultivator, but it's what many people call an unorthodox path. Those people in the Ingenious Mysterious Realm might not recognize me."
Zhang Yu said, "You are not a Xuanxiu. You are not under the control of my Xuanfu. However, you have colluded with the people of Shuang Continent. You are suspected of betraying Qingyang. I will take you back to be held accountable."
When Daoist Xue heard him say this, he hurriedly defended himself, "You say that I have colluded with the people of Shuang Continent. I don't agree!"
Zhang Yu said lightly, "I'll allow you to defend yourself. As long as your words are reasonable, I won't take you away."
Daoist Xue calmed himself down and said calmly, "Although I am cooperating with the people of Shuang Continent, I am only using them. I just want to get something from them. I have never intended to do anything for them."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "What do you intend to get from the people of Shuang Continent?"
Daoist Xue hesitated for a moment, but he felt that if he did not say something today, he would not be able to get through. So he said, "You must know that my Cheng Chang Dao Sect controls a route to the outside world. However, it is very inconvenient to go and return. It often takes several years, and the journey is very dangerous. However, the people of Shuang Continent have something that is said to be able to transmit one's thoughts. If I can get it, I will not have to take this risk."
Zhang Yu did not make any comments on this. He only said, "This matter, does your Cheng Chang Dao Sect's sect leader and another elder know?"
Daoist Xue immediately replied, "This matter is my own decision."
Zhang Yu said faintly, "I'm heading to Cheng Chang Dao Sect. Why don't you follow me?"
Daoist Xue did not know why Zhang Yu was going to Cheng Chang Dao Sect, but at this time, he did not dare to disobey Zhang Yu. He could only nod in agreement.
Zhang Yu brought him and the black clothed Daoist back to the flying boat. After Daoist Wan Ming finished dealing with the remaining disciples of Fang Tai Dao Sect, he steered the flying boat and headed towards Cheng Chang Dao Sect.
Cheng Chang Dao Sect was located at the western end of the Desolate Region. It was very far away from the other sects. It could be said that it was surrounded by all kinds of powerful spiritual beings and monsters. But this sect's strength was above the other sects. It had enough strength to establish itself here.
The sect leaders of the other sects in Qingyang Upper Continent were all Xuanxiu. They had only read the fourth chapter of the book. They did not have enough strength. If they did not rely on the large sects to survive, they would have been destroyed long ago.
Under the sect leader of Cheng Chang Dao Sect, there were two elders, Xue Qiuming and Si Wu Zhang. There were close to a thousand disciples in the sect. Even if the people of Shuang Continent wanted to wipe out the other sects, they did not look for them in the beginning.
The flying boat flew westward for two days. In front of them was an undulating mountain ridge. They could see that there were three palaces guarding the three highest positions.
Daoist Xue explained that these palaces were mainly used to defend against the monsters and spiritual beings. Normally, he, the sect leader Fang Liang and the elder Si Wu Zhang would each guard one of the palaces.
Zhang Yu went forward for a while. When they reached the front of the mountain ridge, he stopped the flying boat and said, "Daoist Xue, you can go in and tell your sect leader that I, in the name of Xuan Zheng, hope that they will disband the sect, hand over the seal and return to Xuanfu. I will give you half a day to consider."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and the side door of the flying boat opened.
Daoist Xue could not help but be a little surprised. He looked at Zhang Yu and finally raised his sleeves to salute his back. He stepped out of the flying boat and flew towards the direction of Cheng Chang Dao Sect.
Daoist Wan Ming said, "Xuan Zheng, Cheng Chang Dao Sect has stood for many years. I am afraid it will not be so easy for them to surrender."
Zhang Yu looked at the mountain ridge below and said calmly, "I will let them make the right choice."
Because they were outside, these sects were not bound by the rules of the continent. But at the same time, they were not protected by the rules. So he could act without restraint.
Cheng Chang Dao Sect was the strongest sect in the outside world. As long as they were dealt with, it would be much easier to deal with the other sects.
Moreover, he believed that such a strong force should not be wasted on internal strife. Whether it was to deal with the people of Shuang Continent or to fight in the north, it would be more useful.
Cao Fangding looked at Zhang Yu at this moment, raised his hand and saluted, "Xuan Zheng, dare I ask, that Sect Leader He, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Zhang Yu said, "This person is under the influence of the nightmare. But it is not deep. He can still be saved for the time being. After returning, I will place him in the Golden Prison of the Inspection Department. When the nightmare is dealt with, he will be released."
Just now on the way here, he had learned from Daoist Wan Ming that Sect Leader He Wei of Fang Tai Sect had not done anything evil before. Or rather, he did not have the time to do so. His previous actions should be because the nightmare had distorted his temperament. It was not his own intention.
Previously when he was cleaning up the sects in the various continents, he caught many Xuanxiu who were tainted by the nightmare. He did not kill them but gave them a chance.
Cao Fangding heard him say so and immediately felt relieved.
At this moment, he had made up his mind to follow Zhang Yu.
Because he felt that, with the strength that Zhang Yu had shown, if he also had that treasure, then it was not impossible to restore the old structure of Xuanfu as Daoist Wan Ming had said.
Daoist Xue left the airship and smoothly returned to Cheng Chang Dao Sect. He still felt that it was somewhat inconceivable that the other party had let him return so easily. But thinking about it again, his heart was a little heavy.
If the other party dared to do so, then he must be confident. He thought of the Xuan weapon that had destroyed the camp of Shuang Continent, and felt that he seemed to have found the answer.
But he had to admit that the Xuan weapon was indeed a great threat to their sect. Even if the higher-ups could run, the disciples could not, and the encampment could not run.
And even if they ran, where could they go?
Were they really going to seek refuge with the people of Shuang Continent?
He shook his head.
Not to mention this, the path that he had operated for decades, he was also unwilling to give up.
He came to the main hall with complicated feelings and saw a thirteen or fourteen year old youth jumping back and forth. The youth's eyes were pitch black and had no pupils. He looked strange and unfathomable. His hair was combed into a Daoist bun. Seeing him return, he clapped his hands and said happily, "Elder Xue, you're back."
Daoist Xue sighed in his heart, bowed, and said, "Greetings, sect master."
This seemingly lively youth was the sect master of the Cheng Chang Dao Sect, Fang Liao. However, he did not dare to underestimate this person. Although the sect master's mind was a little abnormal due to his cultivation of the Hunzhang Dao Sect being tainted by the Great Primal Chaos too deeply, but his strength was clearly there.
Elder Si Wuzhang at this time also walked quickly into the main hall, he asked solemnly, "Elder Xue, what's the matter with the airship outside?"
Daoist Xue hurriedly explained the situation, and said, "This Xuan Zheng should have more than one Xuan weapon in his hands. His strength cannot be seen through, and with Wan Ming and Cao Fangding's help, it is not a good idea to fight head-on."
Si Wuzhang pondered for a moment, and also felt that this matter was troublesome. The main thing was that regardless of whether they chose to resist, it seemed that they could not keep what they wanted.
The youth looked up at the two of them, and asked curiously, "We can't beat them?"
Daoist Xue sighed, "Let's not talk about victory or defeat. Once they fight, the sect will not be able to protect itself."
The youth asked again, "Then as long as we don't fight, it will be fine?"
Daoist Xue did not know how to answer this question, and finally said helplessly, "Yes."
The youth pointed at them, and said proudly, "You guys are so stupid. Since it's like this, why don't you just surrender?"
