Zhang Yu's sword slashed down, and before Patriarch Yuan Tong's soul could recover, it was completely annihilated. The two fiendish essences behind him also exploded at the same time.
The fiendish essences were the greatest support for Patriarch Yuan Tong's soul to move around in the outside world, and his soul was the master who unified the fiendish essences. Both were indispensable. Now that one of them was gone, it was like a balance had lost one side, and the other side was completely unrestrained.
As the power of the fiendish essences leaked out, a fierce hurricane immediately rose from the place where he stood.
He stood at the very center, and the jade-colored light in the shape of flames drifted endlessly.
He raised his head and looked up. All the fiendish essences and dust were expelled by the airwaves, and the warm and bright light of the Great Sun sprinkled down without any hindrance.
He recited, "How can fiendish fog and demonic clouds cover my eyes? When the sun shines, everything is clear."
With a clang, he sheathed his sword.
With a turn of his mind, the remaining Purple Star Sand flew back and returned to the Purple Star Pouch.
He sent his mind into the pouch to take a look. Because the last battle was very fast, and it only took one or two breaths, the consumption of this item was not as much as he had expected.
In fact, at the end of the battle, if the Purple Star Sand was used up in advance, or if Patriarch Yuan Tong still had some tricks up his sleeve, he still had a trick up his sleeve, and that was to throw down the remaining two Dark Weapons within the range of the Purple Star Sand.
He could use the Ruler Step Heavenly Illusionary Technique to escape to the outside world, while Patriarch Yuan Tong was trapped by the Purple Star Sand and could only withstand the power of the Dark Weapon in a small area. If Patriarch Yuan Tong was still not dead, then he would be able to kill Patriarch Yuan Tong when he returned.
But in that case, the Purple Star Sand would probably be gone.
At this time, he looked at the ground again and saw a layer of seven-colored sparkling substance spread out not far away. He thought for a moment, then reached out his hand and grabbed it. The substance slowly gathered, and finally gathered into a soft ball of yarn in his palm.
He could still feel a strong fiendish blood aura on it. This should be a magic weapon refined by Patriarch Yuan Tong with his blood essence, and it could not be left outside.
He thought for a moment, and did not keep it in the Purple Star Pouch, but kept it in his sleeve, and planned to take it back and deal with it later.
The wild wind outside continued for a while before finally calming down a little.
However, the wind outside didn't stop because of this. Instead, it seemed to be getting more and more intense. This kind of wind would last for at least a few days to more than ten days.
Zhang Yu observed for a while more. Seeing that there was nothing left behind in the surroundings, he shot out of the sandstorm in a streak of light, all the way to the sky.
Here, the sky was high and the clouds were vast. Everything in the world could be seen. He identified the direction and turned back to Fang Tai's station.
Fifteen minutes later, he returned to the encampment and landed on the highest platform. Daoist Wan Ming had already seen his escape light and rushed over at this moment. He cupped his hands and asked with concern, "Xuan Zheng, how was your trip?"
Zhang Yu said, "That evil spirit has been killed by me. There should be no more disturbances outside. You can resume your sentry posts outside."
When Daoist Wan Ming heard the news, his heart was very calm, because in his opinion, since Zhang Yu had personally taken action, wasn't the result to be expected?
He said, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's also inform the Tenki-in Hall's station."
After Wan Ming agreed, he looked to the east and said, "I need to go to Xuanfu. I'll have to trouble you for a few more days."
Wan Ming hurriedly said, "Xuan Zheng, you're too serious. My fellow friends and I will definitely take care of this place."
Zhang Yu nodded and soared into the sky again, flying into the continent in a beam of light. Although he had successfully killed Ancestor Yuan Tong this time, he had a few questions in his heart that he needed to seek answers from Xuan Shou.
In the Tenki-in Hall's station, Mo Ruohua and Lieutenant Ming were receiving a lieutenant surnamed Chen from the army.
This person was ordered to come here by the army after receiving the letter she sent.
It was said that this person was not very popular. Lieutenant Ming had recovered in the past few days, but when he heard that the person from the army was this person, he immediately used the excuse that he was still injured and wanted to hide inside.
In the end, he was persuaded to come out by his assistant. The reason was that Lieutenant Chen was very rigid. If he said he wanted to see him, then he would definitely see him. If he did not go, then he would definitely come looking for him. Thus, Lieutenant Ming reluctantly came out to greet him.
Mo Ruohua had only been in the army for a short time and did not have much interaction with this Lieutenant Chen. She had only heard some rumors about this person and did not have a bad impression of him.
When they first met, this Lieutenant Chen was very rigid and serious. She could not see anything too special about him.
After inviting this person to the inner hall, Mo Ruohua said, "Lieutenant Chen, did the army pass down any orders?"
Lieutenant Chen said solemnly, "Lieutenant Mo, the army has received your letter and attached great importance to it. They have also formulated a plan, but they need your and Lieutenant Ming's cooperation."
Mo Ruohua asked, "What plan?"
Lieutenant Chen said with a serious expression, "This time, I've brought a batch of warships that are adept at concealment. I've already asked someone to inspect them. When concealed, even cultivators will not be able to detect their existence for a short period of time.
The army's plan is for you and Lieutenant Ming to act as bait and draw out that demon. You two need to do your best to delay this person, and then we'll use the mystic weapons on the warships to kill him. "
Mo Ruohua said, "From the intelligence we've received from various sources, that demon's strength is not ordinary. How many mystic weapons has the army prepared this time?"
Lieutenant Chen said, "I've only brought four mystic weapons this time, but they're all specially made for this operation. Although there aren't many, it's enough to kill that demon."
Lieutenant Ming interrupted at this time. "If this mystic weapon is so powerful, then what about us? How will we defend ourselves?"
Lieutenant Chen said, "I don't know."
Lieutenant Ming glared at him. "What do you mean you don't know?"
Commandant Chen said calmly, "I am only responsible for releasing the Xuan Soldiers, but as for how to do it, it should be up to the two of you to arrange it yourselves, and not up to me to tell the two of you. Furthermore, I am also not responsible for the two of you. Unless the two of you die in battle, then the two of you will be written up by me."
Lieutenant Ming clenched his fists. He had the urge to punch the other party.
At this time, Mo Ruohua finally understood why this person was so unpopular. Although the words were unpleasant to hear, the reasoning was correct. The army indeed had no way of explaining the specifics of the plan in advance. They had to draw it up themselves.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, a commotion came from outside the hall.
Lieutenant Ming said, "What's going on outside?"
Mo Ruohua said, "Let's go take a look." Her subordinate nodded and immediately left. After a while, someone came back and whispered a few words in her ear.
Mo Ruohua nodded and then looked up. "Gentlemen, it seems there's no need for us to continue."
Lieutenant Chen looked at her. "Why?"
Mo Ruohua said, "Xuanfu just sent word that Zhang Xuanzheng has personally killed that demon in the wilderness. Our threat has been removed."
Lieutenant Chen said solemnly, "I need to confirm this news, but before the results are clear, I hope the two of you can continue with your preparations."
He saluted, turned around, and walked out with proper steps.
Lieutenant Ming snorted. "Hypocrite." He revealed a look of disdain. "Do you know? Don't be fooled by his serious appearance, he has five mistresses outside. "
His subordinate couldn't help but exclaim with a face full of envy.
When Mo Ruohua's female subordinate heard this, her face turned red.
Mo Ruohua's expression was indifferent and she didn't respond. It wasn't because she was embarrassed, but because she felt that discussing someone else's private matters in public wasn't a moral thing in itself.
Lieutenant Ming slapped the table and said, "Let's go, don't stay here any longer." With that, he walked out.
His subordinate said, "Lieutenant, don't we need to continue the discussion?"
Lieutenant Ming waved his hand at him. "What's the point of discussing? I've seen the abilities of that Zhang Xuanzheng from Xuanfu. If there's anyone here who can defeat that demon, it's only him. Besides, Xuanfu doesn't need to use such damaging words to deceive us. I might as well go back to sleep early and prepare for the battle with Shuangzhou. "
The rest of the people couldn't help but look at Mo Ruohua. In their hearts, she was much more reliable than Lieutenant Ming.
Mo Ruohua nodded. "Let's disperse, this should be true. Lieutenant Ming is right, we need to rest up for the next few days. We still have a tough battle to fight."
After Zhang Yu left the encampment, he sped all the way to Xuanfu. When he landed, he greeted Taoist Ming Shan who came to greet him. He walked into the main hall and went up to the roof of the Crane Hall. After he stood still, he raised his hand and bowed to Zhu Xuan. "Greetings, Zhu Xuan."
Zhu Xuan nodded in return and looked at him. "Xuan Zheng's murderous aura has yet to recede. Have you fought with an evil spirit?"
Zhang Yu said, "I was just about to talk to you about this. The person I killed claimed to be 'Old Ancestor Yuan Tong'."
"Old Ancestor Yuan Tong?"
Zhu Xuan Shou's expression turned solemn. "What happened? Can Xuan Zheng please elaborate?"
Zhang Yu told him everything from the moment the person appeared to the moment he was killed. He then took out the 'Absolute Sky Gauze' from his sleeve and held it in his palm. "This was left behind by the evil spirit that day."
Zhu Xuan looked at it and it floated in front of him. He nodded and said, "Absolute Sky Gauze, this is indeed Old Ancestor Yuan Tong's method of refining."
Zhang Yu said, "I would like to ask you, from what I saw in the Xuanfu Taoist Book, this Old Ancestor Yuan Tong should have been killed long ago. I wonder how he could come out and cause trouble today?"
Zhu Xuan pondered for a moment. "From what Xuan Zheng said, it is because of a strand of his spirit. Old Ancestor Yuan Tong was very good at changing his body. It might be a strand of his spirit that was left behind when he was killed."
