The central region of the Frost Continent was located between the Secret Continent and the Independent Continent. The terrain here was sunken and naturally converged into a lake. Hundreds of kilometers below the lake, there were connected caves and tunnels. Scorching red lava flowed freely here, and countless bubbles churned inside.
In the middle of the huge central cavern, there was a blue crystal jade that was thirty feet tall. It was surrounded by a layer of blue mist, and a tall figure could be vaguely seen inside.
Pieces of cracked and broken plates were floating on top of the lava. These things barely formed a path. At this moment, an old man in ancient clothes and a tall hat was stepping on these things toward the crystal.
When stepped on, more cracks would appear on the floating plates, and they would drift to the side with the force of the foot, making people wonder if they would completely shatter in the next moment.
The old man with the tall hat walked carefully. His nose was high, his skin was dry and pale, and his eyes were faintly golden. Normally, men from Shuang Continent didn't have any hair, but he had neatly groomed white hair and a silver beard.
After a long while, he finally made it past the area of rocks and arrived before the deep blue crystal. He took out a jade tablet and clasped his hands towards it.
After a while, the tall figure inside the crystal seemed to have woken up, and blue light faintly shone from his eyes.
The old man with the tall hat hurriedly bowed again and said, "Greetings, Zhengguo."
The figure inside didn't seem to move, but his voice rang out all around. "So it's Jianxiang. You went past that substitute to find me. Did something big happen?"
The old man with the tall hat said solemnly, "Reporting to Zhengguo, Mi Continent was attacked by foreign enemies. More than ten thousand elites of the central army's four guards were almost annihilated, and the province's important military sites were damaged. The other losses are incalculable. This is the biggest setback Shuang Continent has ever suffered since its founding."
The blue light in the figure's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Who did it?"
The old man with the tall hat said, "According to the people present, the one who led the enemy was Xuanfu's Xuanzheng Zhang Yu! Last year, this person wanted to reunite the foreign sects. When Zuo Fuguo heard about this, he launched a surprise attack on this person's place in order to stop this person. However, this matter ended in failure, and Zuo Fuguo himself died in this battle. "
He paused. "This time, Zhang Yu led more than a hundred middle-level cultivators across tens of thousands of miles of wasteland to attack our continent. This is most likely revenge against me."
Speaking to this point, his face was solemn, and his voice suddenly became louder. He said with a slightly agitated tone, "Zhengguo, this servant believes that this person is a great danger to our Shuang Continent!
And demons and monsters and Qingyang are about to battle. They are urging us to disturb Qingyang from the rear, and this person is our obstruction. Moreover, he was conferred the title by Xuanting last year. I was afraid that he would hinder my important matters, so I thought that there was no need to kill him! At all costs! "
The figure said, "Then what are you going to do?"
The old man with the tall hat put the jade tablet aside, knelt on the ground, and bowed. Solemnly, he said, "Zhengguo, in our Shuang Continent's institute, there is a self-made outer armor. Its power is close to that of an upper level cultivator, but there is no suitable person to wear this armor. This servant can only ask Zhengguo to infuse his Origin Thought to control this armor."
As he spoke, he kowtowed.
The figure did not immediately respond. The blue light in his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, a voice sounded again. "Does Master know that if you bestow a strand of Origin Thought, my Origin Blood awakening will be delayed by ten years?"
The old man with the tall hat bowed there, the crown on his head trembling as he spoke. "Zhengguo, I'm afraid you can't wait ten years."
The figure seemed to seriously consider, and finally he suddenly moved. He slowly stretched out his hand, and then pointed at the crystal. A strand of sparkling blue light floated out from inside.
The old man with the tall hat raised his head, revealing an extremely Solemnly expression. He stretched out his hands, and then held the light in his palms.
The figure seemed to be slightly dimmer than before, and said, "Go down. Don't disturb me in the near future."
The old man with the tall hat hurriedly bowed his head. Then he put away the star fragments, stood up from the ground, and went back the way he came.
He made his way through several tunnels and soon arrived at another cave.
This place was densely packed with crystal jades that stretched as far as the eye could see. Below each piece of crystal jades, there was a large flower bud. It was suspended three feet above the ground, and there was a flickering light inside, as if it was breathing rhythmically.
He identified it, walked along the passage between the crystal jades, and finally stopped in front of one of the crystal jades. This crystal jade looked larger, and its color was darker than the other crystal jades.
He said, "Wu Zhong Hou, one of your two bodies has been killed, and a part of your Soul is missing. It is impossible for you to undergo a bloodline transformation in the future. I can use the Source Thought bestowed by Zhengguo to make up for your deficiency. You can obtain unprecedented power, but after that, you will need to wear a frost armor and become the defensive weapon of my Shuang Continent. “
The crystal jades flickered slightly.
The old man with the tall hat was very satisfied with his reaction. He took out the blue star fragments, and then sprinkled them on the crystal jades. These fragments drifted across the space, and quickly penetrated into the crystal jades.
In a flash, the crystal jades suddenly bloomed with a ray of light, and then dimmed in an instant. There was no movement.
At this time, the huge flower bud below the crystal jades suddenly trembled, and then burst open. With a splash, a pool of sticky liquid fell to the ground together with a pale, bald man.
The bald man pulled the limbs that extended into his mouth with both hands, and then pulled them out, and then gasped for breath.
After a while, as a faint blue light flashed in his eyes, the muscles on his body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, he slowly stood up. During this process, one could see that his figure was also slowly growing taller. Soon, he was taller than the old man opposite him by a head.
The old man with the tall hat unconsciously looked up at him, and said in a deep voice, "Wu Zhong Hou, you can put on your new outer armor."
In the square station, a disciple on duty stood at the edge of the platform, looking at the wasteland in the distance.
Ten days had passed since the cultivators set off.
Because it was very difficult to predict what would happen in this surprise attack, Zhang Yu had also prepared for the worst, so before they set off, he had already made arrangements. If the cultivators felt that something was wrong, they had to immediately abandon the area and retreat to the continent.
At this moment, the sun gradually set, and the red sunset glow dyed the slender clouds in the sky. The color was magnificent and rich.
At this moment, the disciple on duty suddenly seemed to see something shaking in front of him, which attracted his attention. He leaned forward slightly and looked into the distance.
Then he saw clearly that it was a cultivator's escape light, and after a moment, he saw a series of escape lights emerging in the sunset glow, and they quickly flew toward the square station.
The disciple on duty suddenly became excited. He immediately picked up the copper hammer and rang the bell on the square station.
In the clear and long sound of the bell, about twenty cultivators who withdrew from the Mishou returned to the square station first.
And within the next two days, the cultivators who participated in the raid all returned to the station one after another. Even Lin Xuansheng returned, but only Zhang Yu was missing.
Cao Fangding was a little worried. He found Daoist Wan Ming and said, "Daoist Wan Ming, do you want to send people to help Xuan Zheng?"
Daoist Wan Ming said, "No matter, with Xuan Zheng's methods, no one in the Mishou can stop him. Xuan Zheng hasn't returned at this moment, presumably something has delayed him."
Zhang Yu actually wasn't delayed by something this time. On the way back, he deliberately slowed down a little.
Although the cultivators who participated in the raid this time were all in the middle level, but more than ninety percent of them were cultivators of the third chapter. He knew that there were some armored soldiers in the Shuang Continent that flew faster, and if they sent people like the white-clothed woman, then even if the cultivators were a day or two ahead, they could still catch up.
After eliminating a few more scattered pursuers, he calculated that everyone should have returned to the vicinity of the encampment by now. Only then did he return in a streak of light.
On the third day after everyone returned, he rode a green rainbow surrounded by jade mist and returned to the station under the rising sun in the east.
The moment he returned, all the cultivators stood on the platform to welcome him. Everyone was excited and looked at him with eyes full of reverence.
This time they crossed tens of thousands of li to attack the enemy. Not to mention the great results, the key was that they didn't lose a single person. Zhang Yu, as Xuanfu Xuan Zheng, was even personally responsible for covering the retreat. This showed that he truly cared about everyone's lives.
At this moment, his prestige in everyone's hearts had already surpassed those sect masters and teachers in the past.
At this moment, the various Sect Masters' emotions were also surging.
To tell the truth, when Zhang Yu said to restore the old structure of Qingyang Xuanfu, they were originally skeptical. But now they truly believed it and were willing to work hard for it.
After Zhang Yu returned, he used a day to calculate the results of the battle. Then he personally wrote a letter and had a disciple send it to the two manors. Then he turned to the platform and walked side by side to the map of Shuang Continent.
At this moment, all the places on the map that were bombarded by Xuan Weapons were now marked in black. One could see a large area of black dots.
This time, all of Mishou City's military outposts, central army camps, and even the roofs of the mooring boats were all destroyed by them. Due to the success of the surprise attack, the other factories, granaries, and other places were also destroyed, and the result was far greater than what they had expected.
If the Mi Continent wanted to recover, it would not be possible in a short time. Shuang Continent also had to find ways to guard against another attack. Therefore, the possibility of the other party wanting to invade Qingyang before the war in the north was very low.
However, the necessary precautions still had to be done.
His gaze turned and moved to the other prefecture of Shuang Continent, Duzhou. If Shuang Continent still didn't want to give up, then the only choice they had was to send a small group of elites to attack.
