When Daoist Zhe heard this, he was slightly startled.
When he came to the Azure Sun Domain with Xia Houming and Qian Zhong, he had heard of Zhang Yu's reputation. At that time, he was very vigilant because Xuanzheng was in charge of supervising the cultivators and was the person he had to be wary of.
Later on, he also understood that Zhang Yu was still extremely powerful, and his battle prowess far surpassed that of cultivators of the same generation. Moreover, it was this person who had single-handedly reunited the originally scattered sects into one. This made him even more fearful, so he left before the people from the Profound Palace came to contact him.
He expected that the matter here would likely alarm others, so he purposely chose this inconspicuous encampment to stay. However, he didn't expect the other party to come here.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake. However, he pretended to be pleasantly surprised and said, "So Zhang Xuanzheng is here. Daoist Huang, let me make some preparations and change my clothes, then I'll go with you."
Daoist Huang said, "Of course, but please be quick. We can't keep Zhang Xuanzheng waiting for too long."
Daoist Zhe cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment."
He returned to the inner room and calmly thought for a while. In the end, he felt that this was only a coincidence.
If the other party felt that there was something wrong with him, then they could have attacked him when he wasn't paying attention. There was no need to tell him that he was here. This would instead arouse his vigilance. Moreover, his current identity was only a cultivator with three chapters. It wouldn't attract attention at all.
Thinking of this, he felt slightly relieved. He changed into a Daoist robe and came out. He followed Daoist Huang to the main hall of the encampment.
Not long after, the two arrived at the main hall.
Daoist Zhe looked over and saw a young Daoist surrounded by jade mist. He looked like an immortal. His eyes were as clear as water, but they were deep and boundless. Daoist Zhe's heart skipped a beat when he met this gaze. He unconsciously lowered his head.
Daoist Huang took a step forward and bowed to the hall. He then said, "Xuanzheng, this is Daoist Wei Rao. This encampment was built by me and Daoist Wei together."
Daoist Broken stood there and bowed, "Wei Rao greets Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu glanced at Daoist Broken and paused for a moment before saying, "You two are the hosts and we are guests. There is no need to be so polite. Let's sit down and talk."
Daoist Huang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Xuan Zheng."
Everyone sat down, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite harmonious. After a few words of small talk, Shi Yue said, "Fellow Daoist Huang, Fellow Daoist Wei, Xuan Zhengjin and I came here because we have something to tell the two of you."
Daoist Huang hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."
Shi Yue said, "Both of you should know that there have been a lot of disappearances in the wasteland recently. After investigating, we found out that there is a person from another continent who is doing evil. This person is suspected to be at the fourth chapter of the book, and his purpose is unknown. Therefore, the two of you are not safe in the wasteland. You might be targeted by this person at any time. The best thing to do now is to leave this place and return to the continent. "
He paused for a moment before saying with a smile, "However, the two of you have been here for a long time. I'm afraid that you won't be willing to abandon this place."
Daoist Huang hurriedly said, "That's right. We have been here for more than twenty years. This place was built by us with our own hands. If you want us to abandon it like this, we are somewhat reluctant."
Daoist Broken's eyes flickered, but he did not say anything.
Shi Yue then looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Xuan Zheng and I have discussed it. Fellow Daoists, your residences are too simple and crude. It is difficult to defend against the enemy. Therefore, Xuan Zheng has already sent a letter to invite people from the Tenki-in Hall branch in the outer realms to reinforce your residences and build defensive barriers underground.
As long as the defenses are adequate, you won't be afraid of being attacked by outsiders. However, this is not free. In the future, you will need to exchange items of equivalent value. Are the two of you willing? "
When Daoist Huang heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "This is a good idea, a very good idea." In the outer realms, the most important factor was undoubtedly strength. The second most important factor was the sturdiness of one's residence.
Over the past twenty years, apart from using it to refine medicine, most of what he had gained in the Wilderness had been invested in this station. However, it could only be used to guard some spiritual beings, and was almost useless against cultivators with many abilities and techniques.
Now that Xuanfu was helping to invite people from the Tenki-in Hall to help build the residence, this was a good opportunity that he had never encountered before. How could he refuse?
When Daoist Zhe heard this, he felt relieved.
As expected, the other party didn't come for him this time.
As for the construction of the residence, it was definitely not something that could be done in a day. By that time, he would have already obtained what he wanted and left this place. It wouldn't affect him in the slightest. Therefore, he put on a happy expression and said, "Daoist Huang's intentions are my intentions."
Shi Yue said, "Since Daoist Huang and Daoist Wei have agreed, we won't stay here for long."
Daoist Huang hurriedly said, "Since Xuan Zheng and Xuanxiu are here, how can we not be the hosts?"
Shi Yue said, "Xuan Zheng still has to go to the next residence. After all, no one knows when the enemy will come. Only by dealing with this matter as soon as possible can Daoist Huang feel at ease in the Wasteland. Don't you agree, Daoist Huang?"
Daoist Huang thought for a moment and said regretfully, "Then we'll send Xuan Zheng and Daoist Shi off."
Zhang Yu shook his sleeves and stood up from his seat. He left the main hall with Shi Yue and quickly arrived in front of the flying boat.
However, just as he was about to enter the cabin, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Daoist Zhe. He said, "Daoist Wei, I see that your Qi is pure and your foundation is firm. You don't have the slightest bit of filthy Qi. You're different from the Monk Hunjang I've seen. Do you have any insights or secret teachings?"
Daoist Zhe was already relieved. Now that Wei Xiaobao suddenly asked him a question, his heart inexplicably tightened.
However, on the surface, he said as usual, "I don't have any insights or secret teachings. When the Turbid Tide came, I was still young. At that time, I was lucky enough to obtain a book left behind by a predecessor. I cultivated according to it and found the chapter of the Great Dao. After that, I remembered the words in the book to guard my mind and not be greedy for achievements. I took one step at a time, and perhaps that's how I got to where I am today."
The cultivator named Huang also sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei's talent is actually very good, much higher than mine. He was able to cultivate to his current level with just one scroll. However, Fellow Daoist Wei was too careful. If he wasn't completely confident, he wouldn't easily take a step forward. If he was a bit more daring, his cultivation would have already surpassed mine."
Zhang Yu said, "It seems that the two of you have known each other for a long time?"
Daoist Huang said with a smile, "That's right. We've known each other for more than forty years."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "The cultivation of the Hunchback Scriptures is about controlling one's mind. Daoist Wei is very cautious, and that's why you're able to get such a reward. Recently, I've been thinking of writing a 'Mind Calming Scripture' in the Xuanfu. It's specifically used to regulate the cultivation of the Hunchback Scriptures.
Daoist Zhe bowed and said, "Since Xuan Zheng invited me, I'm naturally willing."
Zhang Yu said, "That's good. I still have some questions about this matter that I want to ask Daoist Wei. Why don't you come with me and we can talk as we walk?"
Daoist Zhe looked at Zhang Yu's clear and deep gaze and his heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
After a while, he took a deep breath and put on a surprised and perplexed expression. He said, "I'm honored that Xuan Zheng invited me. I'm just afraid that my cultivation is too shallow and I'll affect Xuan Zheng's matter."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Daoist Wei is too modest." He walked forward and entered the airship.
Shi Yue gestured at him and said, "Daoist Wei, please."
Daoist Zhe's mind was filled with thoughts. He agreed and entered the airship. He thanked her and sat down in the cabin.
Zhang Yu and Shi Yue came to the front of the main cabin. He looked forward and said after a while, "Let's go to the square platform."
"Yes," Shi Yue replied, then asked, "Xuan Zheng, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "There's something wrong with that Wei Rao."
He had been circulating his Heart Lake ever since he came to the Wilderness to investigate the disappearance of the immoral cultivators' encampment. When he was sitting in the encampment just now, his Heart Lake covered the entire encampment and the surrounding Wilderness.
Strangely, he could clearly sense the emotions of cultivator Huang but could not sense any change in Wei Rao's state of mind. Wei Rao's state of mind was blank.
This Wei Rao was only a cultivator with three chapters. If he could avoid the detection of his Heart Lake, he either had some kind of treasure on him or he was hiding his cultivation level.
However, he did not sense any magic treasure on him. The reason was obviously the latter.
Hiding one's cultivation level was not an unforgivable crime. The other party might not be that person. However, this was a special time. Since there was something wrong with this person, he had to get to the bottom of it.
Shi Yue was shocked and said, "Xuan Zheng, now …"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "You and I don't have to do anything. Just wait here."
Daoist Zhe sat in the cabin. His expression was normal, but his heart was gloomy.
He was very confident that the other party would not be able to discover him. However, he was not so sure now. Especially when he was called on the airship alone, he felt that he had exposed something.
After all, the other party could make a copy of his painting. They might not be able to find any other loopholes.
However, the other party did not do anything to him. If it was really just for the book and not for anything else, it would be unwise for him to expose himself.
"Wait, wait a little longer."
At this moment, he felt the body of the airship shake. The airship rose into the air. He did not feel anything at first, but after a while, he felt that something was wrong.
"No, this direction …"
They were heading northwest. However, as far as he knew, there were no immoral cultivators' encampments in the northwest! The black Qi around his body stirred, and his expression became ferocious.
