Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and eliminated the possibility of someone purposely letting this person meet him. After all, these two people were already at the end of their rope.
This person did not have much magic power left, and he did not have many magic tools on him. Any Xuan He cultivator would be able to deal with him, and the worst case scenario would be for him to escape.
Thinking of this, he had a thought.
Looking around, he was now in the middle of the eastern and northern fleets, which was also the gap between them. This was also why Master Craftsman Gong and Master Weng chose this place as their escape route.
So these two people might be …
Hm?
At this moment, he suddenly sensed something and glanced at a certain spot in the sky, but there was nothing there.
His eyes flickered.
After looking for a moment, he withdrew his gaze and waved his hand towards the sky, retrieving the "Primordial Ruler" and placing it into his Purple Star Pouch. Then, he landed on the ground.
Lu Junhou and the others were waiting there.
They were very self-aware, and knew that if they did not use their magic weapons, they would not be able to participate in such a battle, so they could only watch from the sidelines.
Of course, if something unexpected happened, as soldiers, and this was a battlefield covered by the Sharp Strike Army, even if they knew that they were no match for the enemy, they would still go forward to stop them.
Zhang Yu walked to the front of this group of people and said, "Military Marquis Lu, what happened just now was because I sensed that there was someone in your army who wanted to attack me with a Profound Weapon. Therefore, I took the initiative to act first. You should repay me accordingly. I will explain this matter clearly to General Cao when I return."
Lu Junhou cupped his fists and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, you're exaggerating. I came back here to explain this matter to Zhang Xuanzheng.
Just now, I discovered that one of the commanders below was acting strangely, as if he wanted to attack Xuanzheng, but it was too late to stop him. This was definitely not ordered by us. "
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I naturally know that this matter has nothing to do with you, or else there would not have been only one flying ship."
Hearing this, Lu Junhou relaxed. Cao Du had repeatedly told him not to have any conflicts with the Xuanfu, and now that the battle was not over, he was also afraid that this matter would affect him and his soldiers.
Now that he had explained it clearly, he cupped his fists and said, "This one still has military matters to attend to, so this one will take his leave." Then, he nodded and led his soldiers back to the flying ship, flying away again.
After they left, Zhang Yu's consciousness, and a star pouch flew to the place where Master Pang died. He did not check it now, but put it into his sleeve.
As for Master Zhao, he was struck by his "Overlapping Sun and Moon" technique, not only himself, even the things on him, but also turned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
After checking for a while and making sure that nothing was left behind, he returned to the cabin of the flying boat with his sword in hand.
The people sitting here all looked at him. It wasn't that no one had thought of escaping when he wasn't around, but even though Zhang Yu was fighting outside, they were still bound by a force, so they had no choice but to give up on the idea.
Zhang Yu sat down in his original seat. This time, he did not need to give any orders to the steward of the flying ship. He immediately pressed a hand to Yu Chen, and the flying ship took to the air again.
After flying for a while, Zhang Yu raised a ray of light, isolating the people around him, leaving only Master Craftsman Weng and Master Craftsman Gong inside.
He looked at Master Craftsman Weng and said, "Master Craftsman Gong mentioned just now that you are a member of the Frost Continent's Architecture Institute, but you have a lot of dealings with the people of the Inner-Continent Tenki-in Hall?"
"Yes."
Master Craftsman Weng did not hide anything this time. He frankly admitted, "I do have dealings with the people of the Inner-Continent Tenki-in Hall, but … the Azure Sun Tenki-in Hall is not a monopoly. I am close to some people, but that does not mean that I am close to the Tenki-in Hall."
Every master craftsman in the Tenki-in Hall had their own research direction. Many of them did not share the same ideals, so they could not walk together. However, they did not interfere with each other, so the power of the Tenki-in Hall was actually quite scattered.
Moreover, as master craftsmen, only those who shared the same research direction would often communicate with each other. It was normal for people who did not share the same path to not meet face to face for decades.
Zhang Yu asked, "What do you mainly communicate with each other about?"
Master Craftsman Weng hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is mainly about the research of divine robes and profound armors. We often exchange some skills. Because of the uniqueness of the Frost Continent, many things that are inconvenient to do in the Azure Sun Upper Continent are easy to do in the Frost Continent. Therefore, some of the master craftsmen in the Tenki-in Hall are also very willing to communicate with us."
Zhang Yu asked, "Besides the divine robes and profound armors, what else have you two researched?"
Master Craftsman Weng shook his head, "The research of divine robes and profound armors has already involved all of our efforts. We simply do not have the strength to participate in other research directions."
Master Craftsman Gong also said, "That is true."
Zhang Yu looked at the two and said, "You two are not young. Do you know about the Azure Sun Upper Continent's plans to create Artisans?"
Master Craftsman Gong said, "I know about this matter."
Master Craftsman Weng also nodded.
Zhang Yu asked, "Then I want to ask, did the Frost Continent participate in this?"
Master Craftsman Weng carefully said, "As far as I know, they did. The Frost Continent once created a batch of Artisans and sent them to the Azure Sun Upper Continent. We do not know the purpose. This is because this is not the direction of our research. Our Mishou Institution is responsible for the divine robes and profound armors. As for the Artisans, that is the responsibility of the Independent Institution. "
After some thought, he added, "Speaking of the contact within the Azure Sun Upper Continent, the Independent Institution's Master Craftsman Chen Tong actually knows the most. We came to the Mishou before the Upheaval, but Master Craftsman Chen has been here since a hundred years ago. Many of the Azure Sun Upper Continent's Master Craftsmen can be considered his juniors."
Master Craftsman Gong also said, "That's right. I heard Master Craftsman Chen has a very good relationship with the upper echelons of the Frost Continent. There are many secrets that perhaps only he knows."
Zhang Yu nodded, "I understand."
A thought occurred to him. It seemed that he would only be able to understand more about the Artisans after conquering the Independent Institution.
They didn't encounter any more accidents on the way down. The flying boat flew smoothly all the way back to the military base outside the Mishou Institution. After a few rounds of inspection, it stopped in front of a military base.
Just as Zhang Yu returned to this place on the flying boat, a few True Cultivators from the Spiritual Profound Realm gathered in a temporary military base.
Yu Fu said, "Martial Uncle He and Martial Uncle Guan have both returned. They also killed the evil cultivators they were pursuing. Right now, there's still no news from Martial Uncle Chu's group."
A middle-aged Daoist said, "Junior Martial Brother Chu's group was dealing with Pang Yu and Zhao Wen. He's the only one pursuing them. There won't be any problems, right?"
Someone said with certainty, "There won't be. Although Senior Martial Brother Chu's strength isn't the strongest among us, he has the 'Bright Swamp Sword' and 'Light Pursuit Sword' on him. Those two people won't be his match no matter what."
The middle-aged Daoist stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "That's true. Then we'll just wait here for his news."
Everyone waited for a while longer before they saw a streak of light flying over from afar. Finally, it spun in the air and landed on the platform of the military fort. A Daoist in his forties with a wispy beard came out from it.
Seeing his return, the middle-aged Daoist said, "Junior Martial Brother Chu, you've finally returned. We've been waiting for you for a long time. Have you dealt with those two evil cultivators?"
Daoist Chu didn't seem to be in a good mood. He shook his head and sighed, saying, "I'm ashamed. I had a great battle with those two people. Although I severely injured them, they still managed to escape in the end."
The middle-aged Daoist was slightly taken aback. He said, "With Junior Martial Brother's abilities and those two swords, you still couldn't take down those two people?"
Yu Fu said, "Martial Uncle Lin, Pang and Mo are extremely cunning. This time, they obtained so many blood crystals. Martial Uncle Chu is also just one person. This matter can't be blamed on him."
Someone said indifferently, "Senior Martial Brother Lin, it's not a big deal. Just treat it as leaving us two whetstones."
The middle-aged Daoist nodded and didn't mention this matter again. He only said, "Everyone must be tired after a great battle with the enemy. Rest well for a while. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it later."
Everyone cupped their fists at him and dispersed.
Daoist Chu returned to his temporary residence and then sat down to adjust his breathing. When midnight arrived, his body flickered and an image of his soul flew out without a sound. It avoided the army and went deep into the wilderness.
He stopped in front of a mound piled up with rocks. After waiting for about half a summer's time, an illusory projection flew over from afar and landed here. It looked like a black-clothed Daoist.
Daoist Chu bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Daoist Gongsun. I wonder if you managed to kill those two people during the day?"
Gongsun Min bowed back and said in a deep voice, "Daoist Chu, there was a slight change in the situation. I couldn't take down those two people."
Daoist Chu was surprised. "How could that be? Not to mention that those two didn't have much strength left after the battle with me, even if they were at their peak, they wouldn't be a match for Daoist Gongsun, right? "
Gongsun Min said with a heavy expression, "According to our plan, there shouldn't have been any problems. However, those two encountered that Xuanfu's Zhang Xuanzheng halfway. Those two were also killed by him."
Daoist Chu thought for a moment and frowned. "That means the blood crystals from those two's blood sacrifice should've fallen into this person's hands?"
Gongsun Min said, "That should be the case."
Daoist Chu said in a low voice, "Not only is this person powerful, he also has a large group of Xuanxiu peers with him. It's impossible to take back those things that have fallen into his hands."
Gongsun Min said, "It's not impossible!"
Daoist Chu looked up and said, "What do you mean? Does Daoist Chu have any ideas? "
Gongsun Min looked at him and said, "Those two people were your side's targets, and they were only killed by that person after they exhausted their strength. Shouldn't you take back those things?"
Daoist Chu thought for a moment and said, "But even if I can take those things back from this person, I won't be able to hide it from my fellow disciples. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to smoothly hand those things over to you."
Gongsun Min's eyes flashed. He said, "That's fine. I have an idea." He said a few words in a low voice. Daoist Chu hesitated for a moment but nodded in the end. Then, the two of them bowed to each other and went their separate ways.
