After Tang Feng received his teacher's instructions, he left Han Province and headed south. After hurrying for several days, he arrived at a small hill outside the Qingyang Region.
He took out the talisman that he carried with him and followed the object. Finally, his body sank down and landed on the rough sand that didn't seem to have any abnormalities on the surface. He entered a huge cave.
As soon as he entered, he saw the crimson and black baleful river surging endlessly in the surroundings. He followed the floating talisman for a long time and saw a blurry figure trapped on a jade plate in front of him. The figure was enveloped by the Baleful Qi of Heaven and Earth, and it was very difficult to see clearly.
His cultivation was not as good as Gongsun Min's. After circulating his magic power several times, he was finally able to get rid of the turbid evil Qi. Then, according to the method taught by Master Bai Xiu, he began to chant an incantation.
After a while, the entire cave shook slightly. Then, a white light flew into his hand. He covered it with a cloth he had prepared in advance, and put it into his sleeve. He didn't dare to stay here any longer, and hurriedly left the cave.
Not long after he left, the red and black Fiendish Rivers, which were originally flowing in opposite directions, gradually converged and turned into a deep purple Fiendish Qi.
The figure bound to the large jade disc was originally motionless, but now, it seemed to tremble slightly. The chains that bound the person made some slight sounds. After a while, it calmed down again, but the color of the murderous aura became even more murky.
In the Yuanwu County of the Guangzhou Region, where the head of the Inspection Department was located, Supervising Envoy Meng Yan was in the guest hall receiving a middle-aged official around forty years old.
The middle-aged official said with a sincere expression, "Envoy Meng, Xuanting appointed you to supervise the situation in the Guangzhou Region. Moreover, the Inspection Department was established by you, but now that Zhang Xuanzheng …"
He pointed outside, "That Zhang Xuanzheng is openly stealing the authority that originally belonged to Envoy Meng. Is Envoy Meng just going to watch and not ask?"
Meng Yan suddenly looked at the middle-aged official. The latter's body became unnatural for a moment under his sharp gaze. He said, "Envoy Meng?"
Meng Yan said slowly, "Why are you so concerned about the matters of my Inspection Department?"
The middle-aged official was startled. Then, he pretended to be angry and said, "Lord Envoy, I can't let this matter pass."
Meng Yan stroked his beard and said, "This old man will decide what to do. It has nothing to do with you."
That middle-aged official still wanted to say something, but Meng Yan raised his hand, stopping him from speaking. "Don't think that I don't know what you all are thinking. In the end, you are just a group of vile characters, but those people are smarter than you. At the very least, they won't say these things in front of me. This kind of stupid thing is something only you people in the Senate can do."
When the middle-aged official heard this, his expression changed. He suddenly stood up and angrily said, "I came here out of good intentions to persuade you. Not only did you not appreciate my kindness, you even insulted me. What is the meaning of this?"
Meng Yan looked at him and said: "The Inspection Department has never been a place to reason with people. If you want to reason, Zhao Yiyi has come to the wrong place."
These words left the middle-aged official speechless. In the end, he could only leave with a flick of his sleeve.
Meng Yan knew that his words just now had undoubtedly offended this person. However, he didn't care at all. As the Inspection Imperial Envoy, he was responsible for supervising the Azure and Sun Manors. If he had a good relationship with the officials of the continent, then there would be a problem.
As for the authority of the Inspection Department that Zhang Yu took away, he didn't think much of it. This was because Zhang Yu didn't do it for power or profit, but for proper business. Moreover, he had Xuanting's title, so there was no problem in name.
In fact, he rarely asked about the operations of the Inspection Department in the past. It was just that he didn't have a suitable candidate. Moreover, he was the one who suggested it, so he put it under his wing.
After all, this kind of yamen office that offended people everywhere, if it didn't have enough authority behind it, then it definitely wouldn't be able to do anything.
However, at this time, his expression gradually became serious. He called out to an attendant, "Go call Manager Xue and Inspector Zheng over."
Before long, Manager Xue Zhi and Inspector Zheng Jiu arrived at the hall. They bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Lord Envoy."
Meng Yan looked at the two and said, "I called you here to tell you that the situation has been a bit strange recently. We need to make some necessary preparations."
Xue Zhi asked, "Lord Envoy, you mean?"
Meng Yan said in a deep voice, "Zhang Xuanzheng and Master Baixiu will soon fight in the Eastern Sea. Even if Zhang Xuanzheng wins this battle, this matter won't be settled. It will only become more intense."
Zheng Jiu said at this time, "What if … Zhang Xuanzheng's side loses?"
Meng Yan shook his head, "You've been in the Inspection Department for so many years, so you should know what Zhang Xuanzheng wants to do. Since this matter has already started, it can't be stopped. The Inspection Department is already involved. If Zhang Xuanzheng loses, then there will be no Inspection Department in Azure Sun Continent."
Zheng Jiu was startled. "Lord Envoy, you mean the two manors will abolish the Inspection Department? But the Inspection Department was established with Xuanting's permission. Moreover, the Parasite Parasites still exist in Azure Sun Upper Continent. Without the Inspection Department, who will deal with these things? "
Xue Zhi said, "No, even if the Inspection Department is no longer here, it'll be fine as long as its people are still here." He said coldly, "Is this difficult to do? Not at all. Not everyone in the Inspection Department is devoted to the public. Some people are waiting to be promoted. "
Zheng Jiu was shocked. At this moment, he also understood. Even if the Inspection Department was abolished, as long as the original people were still here, they could still deal with the Parasite Parasites. But in this way, the Inspection Department, as a powerful yamen, would no longer exist.
Meng Yan said in a deep voice, "Even if the Inspection Department is abolished, as long as there is no serious internal strife in Azure Sun Upper Continent and the defenses against the Parasites remain the same as before, the Xuanting and Yujing might not necessarily interfere. They might even tacitly accept it."
Zheng Jiu felt cold sweat seeping out of his back. He said anxiously, "But Lord Envoy, can't you report the situation here?"
Meng Yan said, "My words alone won't be of much use. I'm guessing that the observer from Jade Capital is already in Qingyang Continent. If the observer thinks that this won't affect the big picture, the higher-ups won't meddle in this."
He looked at the two. "That's why Zhang Xuanzheng is the key. If we win, then everything will be fine. We'll just have to fight this generation to the end. But if we lose, we can't just wait for death. We're in an extraordinary situation and can't act according to the usual rules. The two of you, listen up. From now on, we need to make some necessary arrangements. "
On Mount Qiu's Flame Peak, Zhang Yu slowly opened his eyes. Immediately, a stream of essence energy shot out from within and then disappeared like a twinkle of starlight.
More than ten days had passed. It was now the end of August. There were only three days left until the first day of September.
He stood up and looked at the Mount Qiu's Mountain Range not far away. At this moment, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The grey-blue majestic mountains and the white snowy peaks were all bathed in golden light.
The magnificent outline of the Great Cyan Banyan was also hidden in the distant sky. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the world and the insignificance of the human body.
However, as long as people existed, there were endless possibilities. It was even more so for cultivators. There were endless paths waiting for them to pursue. One day, they might be able to go up to the blue sky and embrace the sun and moon.
He stood there quietly for a while. Then, with a flash, he had already left the mountain peak. After a while, he landed in the Liang Province's Discipline Inspection Department's office.
Wen Liang and Shi Yue had been waiting there. When they saw the escape light, they knew that he had returned. They immediately came out and bowed. "Xuanzheng."
Zhang Yu asked, "When I wasn't here, did anything strange happen?" Shi Yue said, "Everything was the same. There was no movement."
Zhang Yu asked, "Is everyone here?"
Wen Liang said, "According to Xuanzheng's instructions, everyone has arrived. However, it was difficult to arrange in the Discipline Inspection Department's office. Now, they have stopped near Liang Province and are waiting for Xuanzheng's orders."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Of course, he wouldn't go to the battle alone. Instead, he would lead a group of Xuanfu cultivators to go there to prevent others from playing tricks.
He said, "Send someone to take care of them. We'll set off in a while."
Shi Yue and Wen Liang immediately agreed.
Zhang Yu walked into the inner hall. He approved some documents that were sent to him in the past few days. Then, he briefly explained the arrangements after he left.
Then, he stepped out of the inner hall and looked up. A green light spread from his feet and instantly wrapped around his whole body. Then, he turned into a long rainbow and rushed into the sky. With a slight flash, he was already far away in the sky.
A moment after he left, escape lights rose from all over Liang Province like fireworks. They also flew in the same direction.
On the border of Liang Province, in a pavilion, two people who looked like officials watched the escape lights fly up and gradually go to the east. They said, "They finally left."
One of them said hatefully, "I only hope that Master Bai Xiu can kill this person this time." After thinking for a while, he said coldly, "It's still not safe to rely on Master Bai Xiu. The best way is to send out Dark Weapons …"
The other person was not optimistic about this matter. He said, "This is extremely difficult. If ordinary Dark Weapons want to kill this kind of cultivator, at least ten Dark Weapons or more will be needed. How can they be easily sent out?"
The person from before did not give up. He said, "What if we find those extremely powerful Dark Weapons? I heard that there's a Dark Weapon that can flatten a province. Can't that deal with this person? "
The other person's expression changed. He looked around and said in a low voice, "What flatten a province? Don't talk nonsense here. Are you afraid that the people from the Inspection Department can't hear you?"
The person from before snorted coldly and said with some disdain, "Inspection Department? Let's see how long they can run rampant! "
The other person was still worried. No matter what happened to the Inspection Department, it was a matter of the future. Weren't they still there now?
He covered his mouth with his hand and said in an extremely low voice, "It's the same for those extremely powerful Dark Weapons. If the two of them are slightly further away from the continent, they can't be brought over. Moreover, Master Bai Xiu is also there. This person's background is not simple. Let's not talk about this anymore. We can only sit here and wait for the result of this battle."
The person from before sighed helplessly. He said, "I only hope that Master Bai Xiu can succeed."
