"Who else could it be?"
Master Craftsman Yuan sneered. "Tan Cong has already been captured by you. Who else could have incited my students to do this? It could only be that person. "
Zhang Yu asked, "Do you have any evidence, Master Craftsman Yuan?"
Master Craftsman Yuan shook his head. "I don't. Even if I was exposed this time, it might not have been done by him personally. But at least it was done with his tacit consent. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to find me so quickly."
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment. That person's identity was more sensitive. It was impossible to do anything to that person based on Master Craftsman Yuan's one-sided statement without any concrete evidence.
He said, "Master Craftsman Yuan, I'm sure you know. I'm currently investigating the matter of the creators. How much do you know about this matter?"
Master Craftsman Yuan nodded. "I know about this matter. Let me put it this way. In the past, most of the creators who weren't registered in the register were handled by me. I can give Xuan Zheng a list of all the creators I know, but it's definitely not all of them. But Xuan Zheng, you'd better be prepared. Some of them aren't easy to catch. "
Zhang Yu asked, "Master Craftsman Yuan said it was in the past? “
Master Craftsman Yuan said, "Ten years ago, I was transferred to the military headquarters to take charge of the black armor. The military headquarters kept a tight watch on me, so it wasn't convenient for me to do this again. So I passed this matter to someone else. But I don't know who my replacement is."
Zhang Yu asked, "How did you get those creators to replace the original owners?"
Master Craftsman Yuan said, "The original owners of those creators I created weren't deliberately selected. Most of the original owners either died on the battlefield or died of natural causes. But I can't guarantee that this rule will continue after I leave."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Then I have another question. Why did you do this? What's your intention? "
"Intention?"
Master Craftsman Yuan looked back at Zhang Yu and said in a deep voice, "Our intention is very simple. We want the Tenki-in Hall to gain more support from the continent and thus promote the progress of the art of creation, breaking away from the dependence on you cultivators. The people on Xuan Zheng's list were all supporters of the Tenki-in Hall.
Even though I was captured by you, I still don't regret doing so. If I hadn't improved my creation skills, we wouldn't have been able to take out so many Xuan Weapons, Warships, and armored soldiers when we were fighting against Taibo.
A hundred years ago, only Daoist cultivators and some soldiers dressed in divine robes were able to resist those mystical powers. Regardless of whether it was the Army of God or the Xuan Army, they were all attached to you Daoist cultivators. "
When Yuan Da spoke up to here, he raised his head to look at the hut beside him and said, "But it's different now. We don't have to rely on the protection of you cultivators anymore. Now, even if an ordinary person wields a Profound Weapon, they would be able to unleash a world-shaking strength. We're already able to make our own voices heard."
As he spoke, there was a trace of excitement and pride in his voice. "Not only that, after receiving the support of these substitutes, the Qingyang Upper Continent's creation skills have surpassed the other continents in some aspects in the past 60 years.
Especially our outer armor skills, which are close to the level of high-level Daoist cultivators. Now, only the Yujing Ministry of Heavenly Works has steadily surpassed us because it has absorbed talents from other continents. But if we have more time and more people to support us, we might be able to catch up. "
Zhang Yu looked at his slightly excited expression and said, "Is it that simple?"
Master Craftsman Yuan said, "Of course, what else can we do? When we created those Creators, we all had the same idea. Does Xuan Zheng think we'll use the Creators to overthrow the Qingyang Upper Continent?
How is that possible?
Not to mention the Yujing Upper Continent, it's impossible for us to do that. But there's someone who might have a different idea from us … "
He pondered for a moment and said, "For people like us, a different idea is a different direction. But that's not something I know, and I don't want to know, at least not before he gets in my way …"
Zhang Yu could tell that this person was not lying. After asking a few more questions, he said, "Then please give me the list of Creators, Master Craftsman Yuan."
Master Craftsman Yuan said straightforwardly, "Give me a pen and paper. I'll write it down for Xuan Zheng right now."
Zhang Yu stood still, but a pen and paper floated over from a distance and landed in front of Master Craftsman Yuan.
Master Craftsman Yuan raised his white eyebrows and took the pen. But when he held it in his hand, it didn't feel right. He muttered something and then started writing. Not long after, he filled a piece of paper.
After he finished writing, he habitually put the pen into his pocket and handed the paper over. He said, "All the Creators I've created are here. I've made a mark on each of them. Xuan Zheng, you can find them by following the mark.
But if you want to do it, you'd better do it quickly. These people know that I've been captured. As long as they know their background, they won't be willing to be captured without putting up a fight. They'll either come to silence me or find a way to escape from the Qingyang Upper Continent. "
Zhang Yu's gaze fell as he looked through the name list. Fortunately, some of the important figures from the two manors that he knew were not on this list.
But this didn't mean that these people weren't suspicious. It was hard to say if there had been any changes in the past ten years.
And there was another problem.
The other party obviously didn't use Master Craftsman Yuan as a scapegoat.
Just like what Master Craftsman Yuan said, he was just an abandoned pawn. Now that he was exposed, it was only to hold him back.
From this perspective, the matter of the Creators wasn't the most important thing in the whole matter. There were more things hidden in the depths.
But if he could give up on something like this without hesitation, then what was the most important thing to him?
He had a guess in his heart. But in a sense, the other party was using an open scheme. He couldn't just ignore the matter at hand and look into it.
After thinking for a long time, he called Shi Yue over and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, I'm going to the Guang Prefecture. Take Master Craftsman Yuan to the Liang Prefecture and lock him up. This person is very important. We can't afford to lose him."
Shi Yue cupped her hands and said, "Xuan Zheng, don't worry."
After Zhang Yu gave the order, he flew into the air under everyone's gazes. He turned into a streak of green light and headed for the Guang Prefecture of the Qingyang Upper Continent.
The Guang Prefecture was located in the middle of the Qingyang Prefecture. To the north was the Guang Prefecture, to the south was the Guang Prefecture, and to the east and west were the garrisons of the Royal Guards.
The prefecture's capital was located on a branch of the Great Cyan Banyan tree. It was like a city in the sky.
He flew for half a summer. Before he even arrived, he could already see layers of light blooming from the distant sky.
This was the Light of Colored Glass. The buildings of the Guang Prefecture used a large amount of Colored Jade Glass. When the sun set, the brilliance shone brightly. It was like the sun hanging high in the sky. That was why it was called the Guang Prefecture.
As he got closer, there were more flying creations in the surroundings. At this time, a huge flying bridge appeared from the clouds on the left. There were streams of light and mist shuttling back and forth on top of it.
This was the Sky Bridge. It crossed prefectures and counties. It was originally used to quickly mobilize military forces. However, in the Guang Prefecture, it had long been opened to the public. At this moment, it was full of creations flying back and forth by relying on the power of the Sky Bridge.
He only glanced at it, and the light suddenly accelerated. He broke through the clouds and flew across the sky above the Sky Bridge.
As the clouds in front continued to separate, the prefecture's capital on the huge horizontal branch was getting closer and closer.
At this time, three creations wyrms came to meet him. However, the Xuanzheng Seal in his purple star bag released a light. The wyrms roared and didn't come forward again. Instead, they made way for him.
He didn't pay attention to these creations wyrms. His light flashed again. Like a meteor, he instantly arrived above the Guang Prefecture. When he got closer, he could see the Great Cyan Banyan tree hanging down outside the Guang Prefecture. It was like a curtain protecting the surroundings. It was almost overflowing with vitality.
These branches also attracted many spiritual birds and strange beasts that only existed in Tianxia to fly and climb on them. From time to time, they would let out long and clear whistles.
He stood in the sky and looked down. After a while, he noticed a government office in the western part of the province that was completely built with hard stones. It occupied a large open space by itself, and it seemed out of place with the beautiful buildings in the distance that were glowing with flowing lights and vibrant colors.
That was the destination of his trip, the Inspector General of the Guang Prefecture.
He changed his direction and flew in that direction. When he got close, he turned into a green light pillar and instantly landed on the square in front of the government office!
The guards standing there saw the light pillar descending from the sky and couldn't help but be shocked. Then, they saw a young Daoist whose sleeves fluttered in the wind. His entire body was shrouded in clouds and green light as he walked out from the light.
The team leader in charge of these guards was also a discerning person. He immediately recognized the person and turned around, "Quickly report to the Inspector General. Xuanfu Zhang Xuanzheng has arrived."
After he gave the order, the guards immediately cupped their fists and left.
Inspector Xue Zhi quickly received the report and personally came out from the government office to welcome him. When he saw Zhang Yu, he solemnly clasped his hands and said, "Zhang Yu Xuanzheng, this one is Inspector General Xue Zhi. What instructions do you have for me?"
Right now, almost all of the authority of the Inspector General had been taken over by Zhang Yu. He received Meng Yan's order and secretly cooperated with him. However, before, Zhang Yu had at most sent a letter to explain matters. Now that he suddenly came to the Inspector General, Xue Zhi faintly felt that something big was about to happen.
Zhang Yu said, "I have an important matter to discuss with Envoy Meng. Would Inspector Xue please help me pass the message?"
Xue Zhi didn't hesitate and said solemnly, "Xuanzheng, please wait a moment. I will find someone to pass the message."
While the two of them were talking, Zhang Yu suddenly sensed something. He raised his head and looked at the sky. He saw a greenish-gold haze covering the sky, coming from the east, and rumbling toward the west with a mighty momentum!
