Daoist Broken lost his consciousness and fell from the clouds. At this time, the "flying hornless beast" that was originally charging at him fell and wrapped around him. It was clear that half of the visualization diagram had seeped into his body. At first glance, it looked like it was part of him.
The battle was over. Even if Daoist Broken woke up and recovered his full strength, he wouldn't be able to break free from the visualization diagram.
Both sides used their own methods in this battle. There were many dangers in the process. However, it only took a dozen breaths. During this time, they didn't destroy anything in the surroundings. It was a competition of Divine Arts.
After capturing Daoist Broken, Shi Yue was secretly glad that he was with Zhang Xuanzheng today. He knew that if he encountered this person alone, he wouldn't necessarily be his opponent. He might not even be able to escape.
He reached out and took Daoist Broken's Falling Star Pouch. At the same time, he waved his sleeve and took away all the treasures on Daoist Broken's body.
Then, he and Zhang Yu landed on the ground together with Daoist Broken.
Daoist Broken's face contorted. Without Heart Force to control it, he couldn't maintain the transformation of his Divine Arts. Now, he returned to his original appearance.
Zhang Yu identified him. This person's appearance was very similar to Xia Houming and Qian Zhong's description. He should be Daoist Broken.
At this time, a large cloud of black fog suddenly surged out from his body. Then, a human figure appeared. It seemed to be struggling to get out.
However, this person was obstructed by the flying hornless beast and couldn't break free.
Shi Yue looked and revealed a trace of surprise. He said, "Xuanzheng, I think this person looks a bit like Daoist Yang Gui."
Daoist Broken's ability to devour the essence blood and soul of others varied from person to person. Yang Gui was a fourth stage cultivator after all. He couldn't be refined so easily. In fact, he had been fighting against Daoist Broken.
However, the cultivators who had been swallowed by him before, including Wei Rao, had been refined by him in a very short period of time because the difference in their cultivations was too great. They had long since died.
Zhang Yu looked at him a few times. He had seen this person when he was registered in Xuanfu. He said, "Let him out."
Shi Yue nodded. With Fei Hou present, he was not afraid that this person could still play any tricks. He directed his Heart Ray and opened up a path. That person followed the path and rushed out. Once he was outside, his Heart Ray flourished and protected him. Then, he looked around vigilantly.
Then, he saw Zhang Yu and Shi Yue and exclaimed, "Zhang Xuanzheng? Fellow Daoist Shi? "
He changed his mind and looked back at Daoist Zhe. "It must be Xuan Zheng and Fellow Daoist Shi who saved me. I thank you." With that, he bowed.
Zhang Yu: "Fellow Daoist Yang, how did you get trapped by this person?"
Yang Gui sighed, "It was because this Yang was careless and greedy that I fell for this person's plot."
He recounted the situation and then asked, "May I ask Xuan Zheng, Fellow Daoist Shi, if my fellow Daoist disciples in the encampment are now …"
Shi Yue sighed and shook his head.
Yang Gui's expression changed, and then a look of hatred and anger appeared on his face as he said, "I was only speaking nicely to him because we were fellow Daoists, but I never expected him to be so vicious. Not only did he capture me, he didn't even let those ordinary disciples off!" As he spoke, he bowed to Zhang Yu and said, "Xuan Zheng, please uphold justice for this matter."
Zhang Yu: "This person came from another continent. I need to figure out his purpose first. After I interrogate him, I will give Fellow Daoist an explanation. However, Fellow Daoist Yang, you fell for this person's plot. It's hard to say whether there won't be any consequences. You should come back with me to investigate. "
Yang Gui hurriedly said, "Yes, I will follow Xuan Zheng's arrangements."
Zhang Yu nodded. Then, he turned to Shi Yueyan and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, please find the nearest encampment and inform Fellow Daoist Tang to stay here as a precaution. When you return, follow me to Fang Tai's encampment to deal with this matter."
Shi Yue cupped his fists and said seriously, "I will go now." He thought for a moment and said, "Xuan Zheng, do you want me to send another flying ship from the front encampment?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, "There's no need."
Shi Yue agreed and immediately turned into a streak of light and flew away. He moved very quickly and returned to Square Platform's encampment with Zhang Yu in just half a day.
Two days later, the three of them returned to the encampment together.
After Zhang Yu entered Square Platform, he asked around and learned that nothing had happened recently, so he ordered a servant, "Go and invite Fellow Daoist Wen Liang here."
Soon, Wen Liang walked in and bowed, "Greetings, Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu nodded and returned the greeting. He pointed at the unconscious Daoist Zhe and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, interrogate this person and see if you can find out anything about his background."
Both Shi Yue and Wen Liang were experts in illusionary techniques. The former was good at changing between illusion and reality and trapping people. However, Wen Liang was the best at mind invading and confusing the mind. Thus, Wen Liang had been cooperating with Cao Fangding to investigate Frost Continent. Under their cooperation, Frost Continent's side had not discovered anything strange.
Wen Liang looked at Daoist Zhe and said, "Let me try. Xuan Zheng, please wait for a moment."
He first took out a jade slip from his sleeve and raised it into the air. Then, he reached out his fair hand and pressed it on Daoist Zhe's forehead.
After a short while, strands of colorful mist appeared above Daoist Folded's head and slowly fused into the jade slip.
These were all the manifestations of Daoist Zhe's memories.
Wen Liang was a cautious person. He knew that regardless of whether his actions were right or wrong, they were extremely taboo. Therefore, every time he probed the memories of others, he would directly copy them into a jade slip and never directly look at them himself.
After a long time, he removed his hand and took the jade slip. He handed it to Zhang Yu and said, "Most of this person's memories are in here. There are some that have been concealed by this person using a seal. It will be difficult to see them for now. Xuan Zheng, please give me a few more days."
Zhang Yu took it and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist. There is no rush."
He ordered someone to detain Daoist Broken while he walked into the inner room and sat down. Then, he sent his consciousness into the jade slip. In an instant, numerous images floated before his eyes. After looking through them, he had a rough understanding of this person's origins.
This person was called Zhe Yi. He was also a Monk Hunjang. He was born in a border county of Hongluo Upper Continent.
However, sixty years ago, the various continents of Tianxia were attacked by the Turbid Tide. Hongluo Upper Continent was unable to avoid it.
Zhe Yi was separated from his parents during this disaster. He was only five years old at the time. Later, he and a group of children were taken in by a remnant military base in the Wilderness.
However, two years later, this base was attacked by a powerful spiritual being. Only he and the children were able to escape under the protection of a few soldiers.
It was also because they were lucky that they met an immoral cultivator who lived in the Wasteland and became his disciple.
Zhe Yi was also considered to be an outstanding talent. He was deeply loved by that immoral cultivator, who imparted all his knowledge to him. Zhe Yi did not disappoint. After cultivating for more than 20 years, he entered the third chapter. After refining the visualization diagram, he was even more unstoppable. He went around killing evil cultivators, and it only took him a few years to enter the fourth chapter.
At first, he only targeted evil cultivators. However, later on, in order to satisfy the needs of cultivation, he began to secretly attack his fellow cultivators and even some true cultivators.
The magic treasures on his body, including the Falling Star Bag, were all taken from the cultivators he killed.
However, this kind of thing could not be hidden. The continuous killing of many cultivators not only alarmed the Xuanfu of Hongluo Upper Continent, but also attracted the investigation of many true cultivators.
Zhe Yi knew that he could not survive in the Wilderness, so he used the base's previous path with the intention of escaping to Qingyang Upper Continent.
Xia Houming, Qian Zhong and the others also bumped into this person on the way. That was why they returned and brought him back. It was also because Zhe Yi had just arrived in Qingyang and did not know the situation. He also heard of Zhang Yu's reputation and did not dare to act rashly. This allowed the two of them and the disciples of Cheng Chang Dao Sect to escape.
After reading this, Zhang Yu also shook his head.
Although Zhe Yi was from Tianxia, because he was born in the Wilderness from a young age, he had to face all day long other than killing and how to survive. This developed a ruthless and cold temperament. After breaking his bottom line, he began to attack his fellow cultivators without any scruples.
This person was not infected by the Nightmare Parasite, but he was more terrifying than those who were infected.
Fortunately, this person was caught as soon as he appeared in Qingyang Upper Continent. Otherwise, with this person's visualization diagram, who knows how much damage he could cause.
He pondered for a moment. Although this person was unpardonably evil, there was no distinction between good and bad Dao.
Especially this person's visualization diagram, because it could change a person from the inside out. It could even change a person into a monster or a different race. This was very useful. It could be kept in Xuanfu's records.
However, because this visualization diagram was too dangerous, if a person with bad intentions grasped it, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, after some consideration, he decided not to deal with it for now. When there was a chance in the future, he would find a suitable person to teach it to.
At this time, he also took Zhe Yi's Falling Star Pouch. There were about ten or so magic tools inside, most of them used for defense and concealment.
He checked them and temporarily put them away, preparing to deal with them later.
He walked out of the inner room and stood on the high platform looking at the distant northern sky. Above the vault of heaven was a patch of dark grey clouds, blocking the sunlight behind the clouds. Gusts of wind blew past, and the gravel on the wasteland constantly rolled on the ground. The corners of his robes fluttered with the wind.
He glanced at the water hourglass on the side. There was about half a summer's time until the Qingyang Upper Continent's war in the north.
In order to guard against any accidents, apart from Cao Fangding who was still keeping an eye on Shuang Island's movements, most of the cultivators of the fourth chapter had been called back to their encampment. At the same time, the various outposts were strictly guarded in order to guard against any accidents.
After a long time, flashes of light suddenly came from the wasteland. After a while, a cultivator quickly walked over and cupped his hands, solemnly saying: "Xuan Zheng, I just received a message from Mang Guang. The two prefectures have declared war on the north!"
