The white robed Daoist returned to the encampment and came to the entrance of an underground cave. Just as he was about to enter, he heard someone say from behind him, "Sect Leader Yu, where did you go?"
The white robed Daoist was startled. When he came over, he didn't see anyone. He slowly turned around and saw Cao Fangding's figure standing in the distance. He said, "So it's Daoist Cao."
A carefree smile appeared on his face, "Fellow Daoist Cao, there's no need for you to call me Sect Master. This Yu is not worthy of that title. We've already become Profound Palace cultivators, so we should address each other as fellow Daoists."
He paused for a moment and said, "I was looking for a place to cultivate my Divine Ability earlier. Fellow Daoist, you should know that my Origin Ascension Sect is adept at observing from afar, and we have to observe the stars in the sky while cultivating. The underground isn't a good place to go."
Cao Fangding said expressionlessly, "Then who did you send a message to just now?"
The white robed Daoist was startled, but on the surface, he was puzzled, "What message?"
Cao Fangding didn't explain much and just looked at him silently.
The white robed Daoist's relaxed smile slowly disappeared. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "When did you find out?"
Cao Fangding shook his head, "I didn't find out anything beforehand. I was just waiting for that person who might exist."
The white robed Daoist shook his head. It seemed that he was too careless.
However, he had no other choice. If possible, he wanted to find a safe time to send the message. However, according to that person's request, Zhang Yu's departure had to be reported immediately.
He couldn't disobey.
If he had to say what he did wrong, it could only be that he didn't leave in time after sending the message. He thought he could hide it from others.
He sighed and then looked at Cao Fangding. His face revealed a trace of relief, "But Daoist Cao, you're too arrogant. I've already looked around. There's no one else here besides you.
I know your ability. If you didn't show up and only used the visualization diagram to attack me, I would still be wary of you. However, you actually appeared in front of me now. Why should I be afraid of you? "
Cao Fangding's expression remained calm. "Is that so?"
The white-robed Daoist frowned. He suddenly sensed something and took a few steps back. He looked at the entrance of the cave cautiously, only to see Daoist Wan Ming walking out and looking at him expressionlessly.
His heart sank. If it was just Cao Fangding alone, it would be fine, but if there were two of them, he definitely wouldn't be a match for them. Now, he had to find a way to quickly escape from this place.
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw a series of ripples appear in the atmosphere not far away. Then, he saw a young Daoist who was surrounded by jade light and clouds walk out. The Daoist then cast his gaze towards him.
The white-robed daoist could not help but shudder, and his eyes were filled with fear as he said, "Zhang, Zhang Xuanzheng, y-you didn't …" He suddenly stopped talking because he realized that Zhang Yu was the one who arranged this.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said indifferently, "Sect Master Yu, I only have one question for you. Where did you send the message to? Who did you send it to? "
The sect master of the Shang Yuan Sect, Yu Jian, in front of him, was almost 200 years old, so it was impossible for him to be a creator. Moreover, this person also passed the previous test, and there were no signs of being infected by nightmares, so this person should be from another force. However, it did not rule out that he was colluding with the force behind the creator.
Yu Jian fell silent.
He had seen Zhang Yu's divine power and knew that even if he fought alone, he would not be able to defeat this person, let alone Wan Ming and Cao Dingfang.
If he could, he would rather choose to answer truthfully because Zhang Yu did things according to the rules of the Xuanfu. At most, he would be punished, but his life would not be in danger. However, he could not do this because he had already made an oath not to reveal the secret behind this.
He sighed and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, you don't have to ask. I won't say anything, and I can't say anything."
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment, nodded, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wan Ming, please take Sect Master Yu away and detain him."
Daoist Wan Ming nodded, and a golden light flashed outside his body. A gorgeous big insect rushed towards Yu Jian. At this time, the latter gave up resisting and let the big insect invade his body. Then, the light on his body suddenly disappeared, and then he lost consciousness. His whole body was wrapped in the golden light.
Outside the Southwest region, at the edge of the Barren Land, Zhong Lie and the woman in white stopped in a mountain cave at this moment, and there was also a middle-aged Daoist with them.
They had been waiting here for many days.
Every one or two days, there would be new news from outside the region, telling them the approximate whereabouts of Zhang Yu's flying ship.
However, during this period, Zhang Yu seemed to have left for a period of time, causing them to think that he intended to secretly return to the continent. They were very vigilant, and only when Zhang Yu reappeared in the station did they calm down.
Zhong Lie had been looking outside at the glass jade at the entrance of the cave. At this time, he seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look. He saw several small beads with purple lightning suddenly appear in the middle-aged Daoist's hand, rolling up and down in the dense fog.
He looked at it a few times and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, is this the 'Heaven Thunder Bead'?"
Daoist Zhu said indifferently, "Yes."
Zhong Lie's eyes flashed. The destructive power of the Heaven Thunder Bead was comparable to a Profound Weapon, but it was not scattered like a Profound Weapon. It was specially used to deal with cultivators.
He did not expect this person to bring this thing with him this time, and he did not hear him mention it at all.
Because this thing was too dangerous, he wanted to ask a few more questions, but Daoist Zhu seemed to disdain to talk to them, and just casually said a few words.
He was not annoyed by this, because there were always some True Cultivators who looked down on Xuanxiu. Evidently, this person was one of them.
Actually, he did not care about this. After doing this, he would return to being the Great Mountain Sect Master, and this person would return to the Spirit Mystery Realm. The two of them would not have any more interactions.
The snow-clothed woman sat there without saying a word, only wisps of cold air surging around her. These days, the area around her had condensed a layer of white frost.
Daoist Zhu glanced at her and said, "Fellow Daoist Mei, you must learn to control your strength."
The snow-clothed woman looked at him coldly.
Daoist Zhu said indifferently, "Don't look at me like that. According to that person's previous battle achievements, we deduced that his perception is very high. Although your strength is not great, it is too conspicuous in the wasteland. It is very likely that he detected it in advance."
Zhong Lie thought carefully and felt that these words were somewhat reasonable.
From the information they received, this Zhang Xuanzheng's abilities were very impressive, and he was especially skilled in long-range attacks. If this person was a little more careful, perhaps the visualization diagram would scout ahead on the way back. In that case, there was a chance that they would be discovered.
If this happened, then this person would be able to attack them from a thousand miles away, or simply avoid this place. In that case, their arrangements would be completely useless.
He said, "Sect Master Mei, important matters are important. I will have to trouble you to restrain yourself a little."
The snow-clothed woman was silent for a moment, and slowly retracted some of her strength. Soon, the surrounding white frost also retreated.
When Daoist Zhu saw this, he did not pay any more attention to her.
The cavern sank into silence once more.
After an unknown period of time, the glazed jade at the entrance of the cavern suddenly flashed with a trace of light.
Zhong Lie's eyes lit up, and he stood up. He approached the glazed jade and carefully examined it, then turned around and said, "Everyone, this person has already set out to return to the continent."
Daoist Zhu asked, "Can you confirm that he's returning to this place?"
Zhong Lie said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, you can rest assured. Regardless of whether it's the south or the northwest, there are creators on the way to send us messages, and we've also arranged temporary sentries underground. As long as this person comes from these two directions, we definitely won't miss him."
In his opinion, with these preparations, unless Zhang Yu went south, went east, and took a big detour, it was impossible for them to miss him. It had to be known that it was close to the end of the year, and Zhang Yu was clearly preparing to return to the continent before the end of the year. Why would he waste time doing this?
Moreover, judging from this person's style in the past, he was not someone who would avoid trouble.
The three of them waited for another two days, and the glazed jade flashed again. Zhong Lie suddenly stood up and said, "He's here."
This light was sent from the last sentry post, and it appeared at this time, indicating that the other party was less than fifty miles away from them. It could be said that he would arrive in an instant.
Zhong Lie immediately walked out of the cavern and stared into the distance. At this time, there was no need to hide. Not long after, a black flying boat appeared in his line of sight.
With a flash of light, the snow-robed woman and Daoist Zhu appeared in the wilderness, coldly watching the flying boat fly past in front of them.
According to the information they knew in advance, this time only Zhang Yu boarded the flying boat. Wan Ming and Cao Fangding, who had been following him since the battle with the people of Shuang Continent, stayed in the encampment of Cheng Chang Dao Sect. If they missed this opportunity, there would not be such a good opportunity in the future.
At this time, Zhong Lie directly walked to the front of the flying boat. He opened his hand, and in an instant, a red sand rose from behind him. For a time, the surrounding dozens of miles turned into a red sea of sand, and there was something wriggling in it.
This patch of red was not considered bright, but it looked too rigid, giving off a sense of creation. The sudden appearance of this thing in the originally clear heaven and earth made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at it.
This was his visualization map, "Red Hill", known for its wide range. As long as he fought in the area he had set up in advance, his strength could be increased by at least thirty percent.
But he did not think that he could deal with Zhang Yu with this. The key today was Daoist Zhu, who was arranged to help them. He was mainly responsible for creating favorable conditions for this person to attack.
The flying boat was agitated by the crimson sea of sand and immediately began to shake. The countless grains of sand that flew over emitted crackling sounds, and like a dense barrage of bullets, the boat was instantly riddled with holes, and then it tumbled down.
