For the entire two months and three months, Zhang Yu spent his time traveling between the Daoist Sect of Fangtai, Xuanfu, and the school. While preparing the plan to attack Shuangzhou, he also took care of Xuanfu affairs. The rest of his time was used to cultivate.
He had only just entered the fourth chapter of the book. Whether it was the perfection of the visualization diagram or the improvement of the Six Righteous Seals, they all required a long period of time to complete.
The matter of the Dao Seal wasn't urgent. Regardless of which path he chose, doing well in the matters within Xuanzheng's authority was also accumulating merit.
If he could take one step further and take down Shuangzhou, it would be enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups of Xuanting.
Because these two places were originally under the direct jurisdiction of Yujing, their status in the past was very high, not below that of Qingyang Upper Continent. If he could destroy or reclaim them, his merit would definitely not be small.
In April, as Cao Fangding and Wen Liang brought back more and more things, the content that could be shown on his visualization diagram also gradually increased.
Shuangzhou was actually the unification of two lost provinces. Although the two provinces were called together, in reality, there was both cooperation and competition between the two. The conflict between the two wasn't small at all. It was only to resist external pressure that they had no choice but to band together.
Previously, he specifically asked Lin Xuansheng that the people who led the Warship to attack them should belong to the people of Mi Province.
The people of Shuangzhou in Mi Province and the Independent Province weren't exactly the same. There were some differences, but outsiders weren't able to recognize them. However, they could be judged from the insignia.
At the time, the frost flower inscribed on the belly of the Warship was more to the left. This was the insignia of Mi Province. However, if the frost flower was more to the right, it represented the Independent Province.
This time, Cao Fangding and Wen Liang came into contact with Mi Province.
This was because Mi Province was close to Qingyang Upper Continent, while the Independent Province was relatively further away. Looking at it this way, it wasn't hard to understand why Mi Province attacked Qingyang Upper Continent first.
The target he chose for his surprise attack this time was only Mi Province and didn't involve the Independent Province.
Other than the distance, it was more because Mishou had experienced a defeat, and their military power had been weakened to a certain extent. It was hard to tell how much of an impact it had, but even if it was just a little bit, it would still be beneficial for their next operation.
At this moment, a Crystal Jade Flying Ship was floating far away from the Fangtai Daoist Sect's encampment. It seemed to be observing the encampment. However, the Flying Ship was transparent and seemed to have blended into the atmosphere.
This flying boat was very small. It was only about ten feet long and could barely accommodate two people. Its height was also very limited, so the two people were not wearing any armor.
One of the younger Shuangzhou people saw his companion trying to get the airship closer to the station and said anxiously, "Sergeant, we can't go any closer. Those cultivators have extraordinary senses and could discover us at any time."
"Don't worry, the other side won't be able to see this place. Our superiors have asked us to keep an eye on this place. If we're too far away, we won't be able to see anything."
The young Shuang Zhou said: "But even if we get close, we still won't be able to see anything. These cultivators are now all underground"
The sergeant carefully steered the airship as he replied: "Do you think the superiors don't know what you know? But our Image Recording Crystal Jade can't deceive them. If we just go around outside, do you think the superiors will let us go? "
At this point, he said something that almost made his companion jump in shock: "Actually, I think these cultivators have already discovered us."
"W-Sergeant, what did you say?"
Looking at his companion's frightened face, the sergeant laughed: "Don't worry, since they've discovered us and aren't looking for trouble with us, I'm afraid those cultivators want us to bring the news back. After all, if we don't move, they won't be able to find us, right? "
The young Shuangzhou man said in realization: "I see."
At this time, the sergeant looked ahead and saw that the encampment was clearly visible. His gaze became serious, and he said: "Alright, let's stop here. We can't go any further, or these cultivators might really attack us."
He turned the bow of the airship and turned around to leave. After traveling for a thousand miles, they saw two crystal jade giants hovering in mid-air. These were the people in charge of receiving them, in case someone was watching them from behind.
The airship did not stop, but directly leaped into the air and sped up a little. After traveling for another thousand miles, they fell into an underground cave. After going down for about a thousand feet, they entered a small Shuang Zhou military camp built here. There were about a hundred people stationed here.
After handing in the Image Recording Crystal Jade, the two of them had completed this mission.
The jade was quickly sent to the main camp. After the deputy in the camp looked at it, he sighed and turned to the main camp. He said to a Shuang Zhou man in his thirties, "Chen Baizhu, the things we've collected recently are still the same. The superiors are very dissatisfied with us. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the mission."
Chen Baizhu's eyes seemed to be unfocused, and he said lazily: "This kind of thing can't be done in a day or two. Why are they in such a hurry?"
The deputy said in a low voice: "I heard that the fortresses of the two prefectures of the Azure and Sun Prefectures are now approaching the walls of those monsters. The war is about to begin, so those monsters have been urging us to take action to reduce the pressure on the battlefield."
Chen Baizhu curled his lips, and said: "The superiors have taken a lot of benefits from those monsters. We have nothing, but they want us to risk our lives. Do you think we can do this?"
The deputy's expression changed, and he looked left and right: "Chen Baizhu, be careful with your words."
Chen Baizhu reached out to cover his face with his hood, and leaned back in his chair: "It's useless."
"Huh?" The deputy did not understand.
Chen Baizhu's figure came out from under the hood, and said: "With Zhang Xuan guarding there, no matter how detailed the things we collect, it's useless."
The deputy had to admit that this statement made sense, but the superiors would definitely not think that he was wrong. Instead, they would try to shift the blame to the subordinates. He could not help but worry about his own situation, and said: "Then what should we do?"
Chen Baizhu was about to say something when hurried footsteps came from outside, and someone said: "Baizhu, the superiors are here."
Chen Baizhu was shocked, and quickly got up from his chair. His glabella flashed, and in an instant, he put on the crystal jade armor, and hurried to the ground with the deputy and a group of guards, only to see a crystal jade airship appear above.
He cursed inwardly. He had painstakingly built a camp here, but this airship appeared so openly. Wasn't this completely exposing their hiding place?
He sighed, and muttered: "Looks like we have to change our location later."
The airship did not land as expected, but the hatch at its abdomen opened, and a crystal jade cabinet was thrown out. After this thing fell, the bottom half of the cabinet's base pierced straight into the hard ground of the Wasteland. After this was done, the airship turned around and left with a flash of light.
Everyone, including Chen Baizhu, was stunned, not knowing what the superiors were up to this time. They could not help but look at the crystal jade cabinet, which was about the height of two people, standing there at an angle.
Chen Baizhu gestured, and one of the guards walked forward. After a few glances, he could vaguely see a figure hiding inside. He turned back and said: "Baizhu, what should we do?"
Chen Baizhu frowned as he looked at this thing. The superiors did not say anything, but since this thing was thrown here, they could not just ignore it. He said: "Someone go up and drag this cabinet back first."
Immediately, a crystal jade giant walked forward and grabbed the side of the cabinet. However, just as he was about to move it, he was shocked. He saw that the figure inside suddenly opened her eyes, and golden light flashed in her pupils. At this moment, she was staring straight at him.
At this moment, he felt an extreme sense of danger. His hand immediately loosened, and he maintained his posture and slowly retreated.
At this time, everyone also realized that something was wrong. They were originally surrounding the cabinet, but now they all retreated.
At this moment, the crystal jade cabinet shook, and then the crystal jade cover in front of it was pushed open. Everyone widened their eyes and saw a woman wearing a pale white slim-fit inner armor walk out from inside.
She had long white hair that reached her waist. She wasn't particularly tall, but her figure could be said to be well-proportioned and beautiful. Her face was as if carved from jade, and her golden eyes were both beautiful and dangerous, but there was a deathly coldness in them.
As she stared at them, for some reason, everyone present felt a chill down their spine, and there was a bone-deep fear.
At this time, she looked at the person closest to her and asked in an emotionless voice: "Where is the enemy?"
"Enemy?"
That person did not react for a moment.
At this time, Chen Baizhu suddenly said: "Southwest, three thousand miles away."
The white-haired woman turned her head and looked over. Chen Baizhu felt his scalp go numb when she stared at him with her golden eyes, even through the crystal jade outer armor.
That feeling was like a mortal facing a god who was in a higher position.
He tried his best to remain calm and said again: "The enemy is there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired woman suddenly disappeared.
Everyone only saw a blur in front of them, and there was a gust of wind and sand in front of them. The woman in front of them disappeared without a trace. They looked left and right, and there was only empty wilderness around them. They did not see how she left.
A soldier was still in shock and said: "Baizhu? What is that? "
Although the woman's appearance was not much different from theirs, the feeling of horror just now made it impossible for anyone to treat her as one of their kind.
Chen Baizhu said unhappily: "How would I know?"
He looked toward the southwest. That feeling of fear just now was probably because the difference in their life levels was too great, so it produced a feeling of suppression. He could not tell whether that was a creation or a real living person.
This kind of thing, let those cultivators deal with.
