Zhang Yu looked at the map for a while before returning to the inner hall. He flipped through the various documents sent from the continent these days.
Yun Chen was still in seclusion cultivating his Dao. The daily affairs of the Profound Palace were temporarily handled by Ming Shan. Only some difficult matters would be sent to him. There were also some official documents related to the supervision of the Profound Palace.
After dealing with them for about an entire morning, he almost finished reading all the documents. He also ordered someone to summon Xuanxiu, who was at Xuanhe realm, and gave them a few instructions. He told them not to relax and to strengthen the security around them.
After this successful raid on Shuang Continent, his prestige was quite high now. No one raised any objections and they all followed his instructions.
Zhang Yu saw that after everyone left, Si Wuzhang stayed behind alone. He asked, "Fellow Daoist Si, is there something else?"
Si Wuzhang cupped his hands and said, "There is one thing I need to report to Xuan Zheng. A few days ago, the cultivators sent by Cheng Chang Dao Sect to communicate with the other continents returned. Along with them, there was a fellow daoist who claimed to be from the other continents.
At that time, because the raid on Shuang Continent was imminent, I didn't disturb Xuan Zheng for this matter. I only arranged for him to stay in Cheng Chang Dao Sect's original residence and let the two disciples who returned with him stay together. However, after returning this time, I found that person had disappeared. I asked the two people, but they also didn't know where he went. Do we need to send people to search? "
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then don't bother. If that person went into the continent, he will eventually appear. If he is outside the continent, then let him do as he pleases."
It was wartime now. Cultivators couldn't casually pass through Qingyang Upper Continent. They had to check their identity everywhere. If they flew in the continent, then they would definitely be discovered by patrolling creations. If that person only stayed in the other continents, then they didn't care and didn't have the time to care.
Within the central city of the Duzhou under the jurisdiction of the Shuang Continent, a rooftop connected to a mooring boat on the ground was covered by a metal semicircle. Then, a gray shuttle-shaped boat abruptly flew out and quickly entered the airspace.
Wuzhong Hou opened his arms and held the armrest. His back was ramrod straight as he sat in the main cabin.
After obtaining the Source Will, he felt that his body was full of energy. Not only that, even his mind was incomparably clear and agile. He felt that he could crush his old self to death with a casual stretch of his hand.
At this time, the attendant on the side of the main cabin left the platform inlaid with crystal jade and walked over. He cupped his fists and said, "Zhong Hou, according to our informants in the continent, Zhang Xuanzheng is still staying in the original encampment of the Square Platform Sect. He probably won't leave in the next few days."
Wuzhong Hou said, "Got it."
His gaze was deep. According to the view of Shuang Continent, this person was too big of a threat. If he continued to stay in the outer region, then Shuang Continent would not be able to take another step forward, and the plan with the Divine Monster would be difficult to implement.
Therefore, they had to find a way to deal with this person, and they had to do it as soon as possible!
It was good news that Zhang Yu was still outside the continent. After all, if he returned to the Qingyang Upper Continent, he could only wait outside.
After the shuttle-shaped flying boat traveled for four days, the attendant said, "Zhong Hou, there's still half a day before we reach the Square Platform Encampment. There may already be cultivators patrolling in front of us. We must slow down."
Wuzhong Hou said, "Are there any other encampments near here?"
The attendant said, "No, the previous encampments were all destroyed by those cultivators. Later on, I didn't see any manpower being transferred over. Now we can't get any help in the Wilderness."
Wuzhong Hou said, "Then let's go to the place we agreed on before and exchange the things."
The follower immediately acknowledged the order.
The flying boat flew for another summer. Then, it stretched out its leg and landed in front of a strange weathered sandstone. The cabin door opened, and Wuzhong Hou and his attendant walked out. The attendant took out a crystal jade and placed it on the ground. Then, rays of light flickered on it.
About two summers later, a Kun Tu flying boat flew over from the south and stopped in front of them. A creator with a metal bar carved on his chin walked out from it. He had an ordinary face and no special features could be seen. He had a paper bag under his armpit.
He saw Wuzhong Hou and walked over on the fine gravel of the Wilderness. He said, "I've been ordered to give this item to the envoy from the Shuang Continent."
Wuzhong Hou gestured. The attendant beside him took it and then looked over it. He raised his head and said, "Only this much?"
The creator said, "Recently, Xuanfu seems to have discovered something, causing the two prefectures to strictly investigate the communication with the outside continent. It's already not easy to send this."
Wuzhong Hou said, "Xuanfu again?"
The creator said, "Yes, after Xuanfu has merged into one, it's different from before. The continent has no choice but to pay attention to Xuanfu's opinion."
Wuzhong Hou looked at him and said, "You don't look like a creator."
The creator said seriously, "I'm a human."
Wuzhong Hou sneered and said, "Then do you know how you came to be?"
In fact, he was not a talkative person before. He was in a high position, and it was not worthwhile to compete with a creator with an unequal status. But after absorbing the Origin Thought, he could not help but want to say a few more words.
The creator did not respond, and there was no expression on his face. But his appearance clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.
At this time, the Marquis of Wuzhong took a jade box from his attendant and threw it to the other side.
Although some people in the Qingyang Continent were passing them a document, it wasn't without conditions. They also had to give something in exchange, but he didn't know what was in the document.
After the creator took it, he checked the seal on the box as usual. Seeing that there were no signs of it being dismantled, he put it away. Then he cupped his hands and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
However, Wu Zhong Hou stopped him, and said, "I still want you to do one more thing."
The creator said, "This is not part of the previous instructions."
Wuzhong Hou gestured to the attendant beside him to hand over a letter. He said, "I only want you to bring the letter. You don't need to worry about anything else."
The creator did not take it at first. It was only when the attendant forcefully pushed it forward that he reluctantly took it. After bidding farewell to the two, he returned to the flying boat. Soon, the flying boat rose into the air and flew back the way it came.
The attendant said, "Wuzhong Hou, will the other side do it?"
Wuzhong Hou said, "Just try it. It will be in the next seven or eight days." He said, "Send the letter back first. Half a month later, come back and pick me up."
The attendant said, "This subordinate obeys."
Wuzhong Hou looked in the direction of Fang Tai's station and said, "If he doesn't come out in half a month, then I'll have to take the initiative to kill my way in."
In fact, he had thought of luring Zhang Yu out by killing those patrolling cultivators. However, there was a problem here. That was, this person might not necessarily fight him one-on-one. If so many cultivators in the station swarmed up, he did not think that he could win. Then he might end up like "Jia Yi" who was sent over before.
After watching the flying boat that sent him here leave, Wuzhong Hou's body emitted a faint crystal light. He flew into the air with a bang and flew in the direction of Qingyang Upper Continent.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. Early in the morning, a flying boat arrived at Fang Tai's station. A messenger who claimed to be from the two prefectures came out and delivered a letter to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu asked the messenger a few questions and let him leave.
He opened the letter and found that it was sent from the Meritorious Service Office under the Zhou Prefecture. It said that the two prefectures had received his letter, but there were still some questions about Shuang Zhou that needed to be checked and asked in person. They asked him when it would be convenient for him to return to the Zhou Prefecture.
At the end of the letter, there were seals, names, and the signatures of the various offices. It could be said that there was not a single thing missing. It looked like an extremely normal letter.
However, he knew that there was something wrong with this letter.
If the upper level of the two prefectures sent a letter to the Governor's Office of the subordinate prefectures, such as Ding Yanli, then it would be correct for the letter to use such wording and regulations.
However, the problem was that Xuanfu was above the two prefectures in terms of etiquette. Therefore, if the two prefectures sent a letter to him, it would either be handed over in the proper "Mysterious Sealed Jade Box" method, or they would simply send a letter to him in their personal capacity. They would never send an official letter like this to a subordinate.
The upper level officials of the two prefectures would never make such an oversight. Only those young officials who often participated in the affairs of the two prefectures, but lacked sufficient understanding of the situation of the upper level, and did not have a deep resume, would make such a mistake.
However, this letter clearly stated that the upper level of the two prefectures had invited him to their prefectures for a chat. This made it difficult for him not to be suspicious.
There must be a reason for this. The other side sent a letter, which undoubtedly wanted him to return to the Zhou Prefecture. However, could it be that they spent so much effort just to make him return?
His mind turned, and he had a few guesses.
He said, "Invite Fellow Daoist Wan Ming and Fellow Daoist Cao."
After a while, Daoist Wan Ming and Cao Fangding arrived in the inner hall. He took care of the two in detail, and then returned to the inner room to meditate.
In the early morning of the second day, he boarded the flying boat and left Fang Tai's station, heading back to the Zhou Prefecture.
The beginning of the journey was very smooth, but when he entered the Desolate Ruins, a crystal light suddenly shot towards the flying boat.
When the flying boat was hit, it suddenly shook and fell to the ground, falling into the thick red sand.
Zhang Yu stepped out of the airship. He glanced at the dilapidated hull and shook his head. This airship had only been with him for a little more than two months, but it was destroyed again.
However, this was unavoidable. He had expected that someone might attack him on the way back. In the past few months, he had directly taken the flying boat to and from the Zhou Prefecture. If he suddenly did not use it, it would be a problem.
He looked forward and saw a strong and tall person from the Shuang Prefecture walking towards him. The person was wearing a coat to block the wind and sand. Halfway through, he tore it off, revealing a slim light blue inner armor. Under the sun, it shone with a cold metallic light.
Marquis Wu Zhong strode towards Zhang Yu. At this time, his glabella flashed, and a pale white armor emerged from his limbs and torso, covering his entire body. In an instant, he turned into a giant of twenty feet tall.
When he was halfway, his footsteps began to quicken, and then he suddenly rushed forward. However, after a few steps, his figure suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly. He raised his hand, and the jade light on his body rose like a flame. A flickering blue light appeared on his left side, and then a huge fist appeared there and smashed down fiercely towards him!
