For the next half a month, Zhang Yu stayed in the office of the Inspection Department in Liangzhou, constantly receiving reports and passing orders to his subordinates.
Every day, hundreds of Xuanxiu gathered around the office, waiting for orders. At the same time, it also blocked the outside world from spying here. Except for the specific people, no one knew what he was arranging at the moment.
It was the beginning of August. On this day, he was reviewing documents when Shi Yue walked in and cupped his hands, "Xuanzheng, Master Bai Xiu's disciple, Tang Feng, has arrived. He said that he came on the orders of his master and wants to pay a visit to Xuanzheng."
Zhang Yu put down his pen, sat up straight, and said, "Let him in."
Shi Yue instructed the disciple below, who immediately went to pass the order.
Not long after, Tang Feng walked in from outside. When he looked up and saw Zhang Yu, his pupils couldn't help but constrict, because the pressure that Zhang Yu gave him at this moment was very similar to the pressure that his master, Bai Xiu, gave him.
However, he quickly collected his mind and took out a jade box from his sleeve. He raised his hands and presented it, "This is a letter that my master sent to Zhang Xuanzheng, inviting Zhang Xuanzheng to meet on the Eastern Sea on the first day of September."
Zhang Yu's gaze fell, and the jade box came to the table. He took out the letter and opened it to take a look. A line of unrestrained and changeable words immediately fell into his eyes.
His gaze paused for a moment, and then he continued reading. In addition to the greetings, the letter also mentioned the time and place of the battle. If he had any objections, he could change it at any time.
However, he didn't plan to change the date.
Recently, the situation was getting more and more urgent, and it wouldn't be appropriate to delay any longer.
He said, "I'll take it. Go back and tell your master that I'll be on time."
Tang Feng bowed and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, send Fellow Daoist Tang off for me."
After Tang Feng bowed, he turned around and left.
Zhang Yu sat behind the table and thought for a while. There was still half a month before the battle. Bai Xiu was faintly the number one True Cultivator of Qingyang's generation, and definitely couldn't be underestimated. He should also put down all the matters and prepare for the battle.
However, just as he was about to do so, he received another letter from the Foreign Realm in the afternoon.
After some consideration, he decided to let Zai Wenliang and Shi Yue stay in Liang Province to take care of things while he left this place. He left the Qingyang Upper Continent from the south and flew towards the Northwest Wasteland.
After traveling for an entire summer, he saw a silver-white light appear on the surface of the wasteland from afar. Above the light, there were dozens of flying boats and a large number of objects covered with thick cloth.
Counselor Shen, who was always by Cao Du's side, was standing there waiting.
When Zhang Yu got close, he turned into a green rainbow and descended from the sky. He landed silently on the ground and waited for the escape light to disperse before he slowly walked over with his sword in hand.
When Advisor Shen saw Zhang Yu, he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and said, "Counselor Shen, how is General Cao?"
Counselor Shen said with a serious expression, "Things are going well, but we found more Creators than we originally estimated. Many of them weren't originally Creators, but were replaced by Creators. We have captured all of them."
After this investigation, they found that most of the Creators were concentrated in the mid-level military academies, and there weren't many soldiers.
This was normal. Once on the battlefield, the lowest level soldiers and soldiers died the most. They didn't have much power themselves, so it was impossible for the person behind the scenes to make arrangements here.
However, because of this expedition to Shuangzhou, there were a lot of soldiers and soldiers who made contributions. Therefore, after capturing these people, Cao Du quickly promoted a batch of people to replace them, and immediately stabilized the morale of the army.
Zhang Yu asked, "Has General Cao investigated how these people were replaced?"
Counselor Shen said in a deep voice, "At present, it seems that most people were replaced after sacrificing themselves on the battlefield. It is possible to replace so many people, which means that the power of the person behind the scenes is far beyond our previous estimation.
In terms of time, these people can be traced back to thirty-five years ago at the earliest, and the latest is within two years. It has been going on for so long, which undoubtedly shows that this is a very long-term plan. "
His heart was very heavy. There were three elite armies in Qingyang Upper Continent, with a total of 1.5 million people. The Sharp Strike Army was only one of them. The Sharp Strike Army was infiltrated so much, and the other two armies were probably the same.
What he was most worried about now was the two manors. How many of the higher-ups were still the original people?
He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, the situation seems to be very critical. Xuanzheng has the authority to submit a memorial to the Xuanting. Can you report to the Xuanting? Can you ask the Xuanting to send an envoy to deal with this matter? "
Zhang Yu shook his head.
It was not that he had not thought about this matter, but judging from the current situation, the person behind the scenes must be involved with some people in the Xuanting. If he reported it, it might not be useful, and it might even expose his current situation.
Moreover, the higher-ups had given him the title of Xuanzheng in the hope that he could solve the problem in the continent. Although the current situation seemed to be very serious, the level of power involved was still within the scope of his disposal. It had not reached the point of no return.
If the higher-ups were to ask for help whenever they encountered a problem, then any one of them would be able to do it. Why did they have to choose him?
Counselor Shen saw that he rejected this idea. He thought for a while and also reacted. He said in a low voice, "This, this matter is related to some people in the Xuanting?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "The current situation is unclear, but if it is only some people in the continent, I don't think they can do this."
Counselor Shen said in a heavy voice, "It seems that we can only fight alone."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "With you, the entire Green Sun Xuanfu, and the thousands of people in Green Sun, how can this be considered a lone army?"
Counselor Shen looked at him and said energetically, "That's right, there is a way! No matter how bad the situation is, we cannot back down! "
He stepped to the side and pointed behind him. "These things are to be handed to Xuanzheng. I wonder if they will cause trouble for Xuanzheng at this time?"
Zhang Yu looked over. Under the middle-aged counselor's signal, the accompanying soldiers lifted the cloth cover one by one, revealing the statues of the Tian Sha General, the E Hong demon dragon, and even another type of god statue that he had never seen before. There were also many statues of EsGod. At a glance, there were probably tens of thousands of them.
He stared at these things and felt the waves of heat coming from these statues. He said, "It's not troublesome."
These things were all seized by the Sharp Strike Army after the Battle of Shuang Zhou. He did not deliberately ask Cao Du for these things. These things that were inclined towards mysticism had always been handed over to the Xuanfu to deal with. In the past, most of the mystical items in the treasury were obtained in this way.
Counselor Shen said, "If Xuanzheng has nothing to say, then I will take my leave first."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Send my regards to General Cao. If there is anything, you can send a letter to me."
Counselor Shen cupped his hands and said, "Xuanzheng, be careful too." After saying that, he turned around and led the soldiers back to the flying ship. Then, he soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
After they left, Zhang Yu walked toward the statues. What made him feel more comfortable was that these statues were placed very neatly. They were arranged very neatly, horizontally and vertically. Even if he looked at them diagonally, they were still in a straight line.
Yes, this way, it was easier to pass through the aisles.
He sensed that although there were many statues, only a few of them contained origin energy, about two or three out of a hundred.
Even so, it was still quite impressive when put together.
As he approached, he felt hundreds of waves of heat converging on his body. He thought to himself, "Looks like it'll take some effort."
At this time, he stopped in front of an EsGod statue. This seemed to be the spoils of war from one of the EsGod divine nations that Shuang Zhou had destroyed.
He reached out and pressed up, and a wave of heat poured into his body. A moment later, the statue collapsed with a bang and turned into dust.
He pulled back his hand and stepped forward, toward the second statue.
It turned out that Daoist Lin, Yu Fu, and the others were still in the Wilderness of Shuang Zhou's Independent State. However, they all had grave expressions at this time.
Daoist Lin said in a low voice, "Have you confirmed it?"
Yu Fu put away the All-Returning Mirror and looked into the depths of the Wilderness. He said, "From the aura that leaked out, although there are some changes from before, it is indeed that person."
Guan Xuan looked at Daoist Lin and said, "Senior brother, this matter is not something that we can handle. Now that there are no Immortal Soul cultivators in the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm, this matter needs to be resolved by Zhu Xuan."
Yu Fu said, "Perhaps Zhu Xuan already knows."
Daoist Lin nodded and said, "Zhu Xuan's cultivation is profound. It's not strange that he sensed it before us. Since this person is still here, there will definitely be a battle between Zhu Xuan and this person."
Yu Fu said worriedly, "If Chief Zhu Xuan fights with this person, regardless of the outcome, there will be no turning back. Moreover, the undercurrent in the Qingyang Upper Continent is turbulent. Without Chief Zhu Xuan, the situation will definitely become unstable."
Guan Xuan did not think so. He said, "What does the internal affairs of the continent have to do with us?"
Yu Fu shook his head and said, "Senior uncle, you can't say that. The Lingmiao Mysterious Realm's entrance is in the Qingyang Upper Continent. If there is chaos in the continent, we may be affected."
Guan Xuan sneered and said, "Who would dare to invade the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm? Bai Xiu? Ha, if he dares to come, I will ask him about what happened before. "He turned to look at Daoist Lin and asked," Senior brother, what do you say? "
Daoist Lin said in a low voice, "Zhang Xuanzheng killed Gongsun Min. Bai Xiu and Zhang Xuanzheng will fight. If Zhang Xuanzheng wins and Bai Xiu dies, then there is no need to mention this matter. If Bai Xiu wins, then we will go to him and ask for an explanation."
Guan Xuan was dissatisfied with this answer. Ask for an explanation? What does this mean? If this matter was reasonable, then what was the use of the long swords in their hands?
However, he puckered his lips and didn't say anything further. Because he knew that arguing now was useless, and he really hoped that Zhang Yu would be able to kill Bai Xiu. That would put an end to everything.
At this moment, a beam of light came from afar and landed in front of the three. A young disciple came out and bowed to the three.
Daoist Lin asked, "What is it?"
The disciple said, "The disciples of the continent reported that Tang Feng went to Zhang Xuanzheng's encampment and put down a challenge. According to them, the date is set to be the first day of the ninth lunar month."
The three looked at each other. Daoist Lin said in a low voice, "We will go back too."
Yu Fu nodded and looked to the east. He could feel how the Qingyang Upper Continent would change in the future. It all depended on who won this battle.
