After receiving the report, Zhang Yu looked at the north for a long time on the big platform before returning to the inner hall.
He knew very well that from this moment on, the two mansions should go all out to the north. For the time being, they shouldn't be able to transfer any forces to support this side. However, the Shuang Zhou side had suffered many setbacks, and their strength had suffered a lot, so they shouldn't invade again.
But he didn't forget the method of moving sand in the Shuang Zhou that day. It was suspected to be done by cultivators, so he didn't relax his guard.
In the following days, news kept coming from the north.
The battle report he received was naturally different from the one sent to the people in the continent. It was the most detailed and accurate. Judging from the current battle situation, both sides had invested most of their military forces in this battle.
After this battle, if Qingyang won, not only could they severely defeat Taibo, but they could also smoothly remove the obstacles on the way to the north.
If they failed, they could only retreat back to the continent. They would have to save up for more than ten years before they could launch another attack.
During this period, Yun Chen also sent letters frequently. It could be seen that this person had also mobilized a large number of Profound Palace cultivators to the north as reinforcements. However, from the cancellation list that had been sent over, it could be seen that the losses were not small. Especially in the first ten days, there were no less than a hundred cultivators who had died, and the number of injured was several times that.
Zhang Yu could see that most of them were low level cultivators. Compared to the middle level cultivators, their ability to protect themselves was too weak. Once they were in danger, it would be difficult for them to escape on the battlefield.
All he could do now was to guard the flanks and prevent the outer region from becoming a loophole.
At the beginning of November, Su Qian, who had been silent for a long time, sent a lot of things over. In addition to some seized antiques, there was also a letter written by Qin Wu. In the letter, Mo Ruohua was mentioned, but Qin Wu seemed to have scruples about something. He did not say too much and only said a few words vaguely.
Zhang Yu had asked Li Qinghe to ask about Mo Ruohua's situation before, but he didn't get a specific reply. He didn't expect to get the news from Qin Wu.
Looking at the special training mentioned in the letter, he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart. After thinking about it, he waved his hand, and the entire letter suddenly turned into fragments, which then turned into dust and flew out.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed, and it was already December. The war in the north was still ongoing, but Fang Tai's base was calm and peaceful.
Other than his daily cultivation, Zhang Yu had also been paying attention to the north.
The war had already lasted for more than three months. If it didn't end in another month, it was very likely that it would drag on until next year.
Fortunately, the two manors didn't mention anything about ending the war before the new year. From the looks of it, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
From the reports he had received recently, the cultivator casualties were gradually decreasing. Combined with the recent reports, he deduced that the Azure and Sun Prefectures should have gained a certain advantage in this battle after a series of previous battles.
However, before the final results were out, it was hard to say what would happen.
Frost Continent, Wasteland Underground Institute.
Master Weng found Sha Shaofu, who was waiting outside, and said, "Sha Shaofu, it seems that the person you sent can wear the Origin Armor."
Sha Shaofu was overjoyed, "Is that so? It seems that we've also received a sharp weapon. "
Seeing that Master Weng didn't say anything, he couldn't help but feel a bit strange. At the same time, he was also a bit nervous, so he asked, "Master Weng, is there a problem?"
Master Weng said in a deep voice, "As far as we know, the person wearing the Origin Armor from the Azure Sun Prefectures wanted to fight that Zhang Xuanzheng, but the result didn't seem to be too good. No matter how suitable the candidate this time is, he's at most similar to the Azure Sun Prefect. If the higher-ups want to use him to deal with that person, forgive me for not being optimistic."
Sha Shaofu hurriedly said, "So that's what Master Weng is worried about. Don't worry, we won't ask him to deal with that person this time. It's fine as long as he can help protect Frost Continent."
Master Weng glanced at him, saying, "I've been in the institute recently and haven't been in contact with the outside world. How's the war in the north going?"
Sha Shaofu sighed, "The Azure Sun Prefectures have been preparing for this war for decades. I heard that they even received a lot of help from the Yujing. How can it be so easy to deal with? Those gods and monsters are barely holding on under the assault of the Azure Sun Prefectures. "
Master Weng calmly pondered for a moment, then asked, "If those gods and monsters fail, will the Azure Sun Prefectures' next target be us?"
Sha Shaofu said with a bitter expression, "That's right. We can no longer count on those gods and monsters to win, but we have to find a way to save ourselves. Right now, we can only hope that those gods and monsters can hold on a little longer. That way, we can make more preparations."
He continued, "I heard that another person wearing the Origin Armor appeared in the Azure Sun Prefectures during this war. Do you think that's possible, Master Weng?"
Master Weng said, "I haven't received such news yet. However, with the Azure Sun Prefectures' strength, it's not difficult to concentrate on making a few sets of Origin Armor. It's just that it's difficult to find someone who can wear it. It's not surprising that they've found another one."
Sha Shaofu nodded in understanding. He cupped his hands at Master Weng, saying, "Since the matter is settled, I won't disturb Master Weng any longer. There are still many matters to attend to in the Imperial Treasury, so I'll take my leave first."
Master Weng said, "I'll see Sha Shaofu out."
After seeing the man off, he slowly walked back. However, he didn't return to his workshop, but to a side courtyard instead.
A master craftsman in his fifties was giving instructions to dozens of craftsmen. When he saw Master Weng enter, he came up to greet him, "Teacher, why are you here?"
Master Weng signaled with his eyes, saying, "Let's talk inside."
The Master Craftsman nodded and followed Master Weng to a secret underground room.
Master Weng said, "The situation has been pressing recently. How are your preparations going?"
The master craftsman subconsciously looked outside and asked cautiously, "Teacher, do you think … Shuang Prefecture is about to fall?"
Master Weng said, "Without the gods outside, Shuang Prefecture won't be able to hold on against the Azure Sun Prefectures."
The master craftsman thought for a moment and said, "I've already contacted the other side according to teacher's instructions. When teacher wants to leave, as long as we withdraw to the designated place, they'll send someone to pick us up."
Master Weng said, "Then what about the 'Armor Squad' and 'Armor Squad' I asked you to secretly make?"
The master craftsman said, "They're in the process of being made. Without teacher's help, this disciple can only do his best."
Master Weng shook his head, "Others might not know, but how can I not know? Although you don't have any talent in making, there's no problem for you to copy. Do it well and don't be stingy with the materials. Shuang Prefecture can't even take care of itself right now, and no one will come to investigate the whereabouts of these things. Whether or not we can leave depends on these two soldiers. "
The master craftsman hurriedly said, "This disciple will do his best."
Master Weng said, "Very good. Also, you need to start organizing some things. If you can't take them with you, then don't take them with you. People are the most important. As long as people are here, then anything can be made again."
The master craftsman said, "Yes, teacher."
North of Han Prefecture, Feng Xiang Ridge.
A black-robed Daoist stood in front of an earthen altar. He was talking to the black shadow with baleful aura that had emerged from above.
His tone contained a hint of questioning, "Fellow Daoist Pang, you're missing half of the blood essence materials you need to hand over this year. What's going on?"
The black shadow was in the shape of a daoist. His face could be vaguely recognized. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand, but there was a faint evil aura all over his body.
He sighed slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, in the past when we were outside, as long as we didn't provoke the outside sects, we were fine. But ever since the sects merged into one, almost all of them are from Xuanfu. It's very difficult for us to avoid their eyes and ears. I hope fellow Daoist can understand us."
The daoist in black frowned, "As long as you don't kill the people of the continent and only attack the monsters and other races in the wasteland, why would Xuanfu care about you?"
The Daoist surnamed Pang's voice was slightly helpless as he said: "However, setting up a formation to refine blood essence is one of the Profound Palace's rules. Now that the Profound Palace acts according to the rules, how can I not restrain myself a little?
To tell you the truth, I suspect that Xuanfu has already noticed. It's just that they're mainly guarding against the people of Shuang Prefecture, so they haven't made a move on us yet. But if Shuang Prefecture is gone, we might be the first target. "
The daoist in black thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I don't blame fellow Daoist Pang. But …" He changed the topic, "We must gather enough blood essence materials this year. This matter is not negotiable."
The daoist surnamed Pang was silent for a moment before saying, "It's already December. There's only one more month until the end of the year. If there's no Xuanfu holding me back, I can still try."
The daoist in black looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Pang, please do your best. I'll report this to my master later."
Hearing this, the daoist surnamed Pang couldn't help but soften his tone and nod, "If the esteemed daoist is willing to help, then we won't be hindered."
The daoist in black said coldly, "Then I'll ask fellow Daoist Pang to come down and work hard."
With a wave of his sleeve, he dispersed the black fog above the altar. Then, he stepped out of the bamboo forest and returned to his temple. He took out a talisman paper from his sleeve, lit it, and stuffed it into the stone niche in front of him. After a while, dense fog drifted out and condensed into an ethereal figure.
The daoist in black hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Master, I've already asked. It's not that Pang Rui doesn't want to help, but that after Xuanfu became one, the previous prohibitions were lifted. They're afraid that Xuanfu will find out, so they don't dare to act freely."
The ethereal figure said, "I understand. Take the talisman I gave you and go to the southern region."
The daoist in black was shocked, "Master wants to release that person?"
The ethereal figure said indifferently, "Since Xuanfu is willing to meddle, then find something for them to do."
The daoist in black lowered his head and said, "Yes, this disciple obeys."
When he raised his head again, he found that the ethereal fog had already dispersed. He muttered to himself and walked into the temple. After a while, he walked out again and soared into the air, heading south.
