After Daoist Qi left, the two Daoist children quickly regained consciousness. However, they couldn't remember what had just happened.
Daoist Qi, on the other hand, headed all the way north. Finally, he stopped in front of an ordinary mansion located in Dang Province. After he landed, he cupped his hands towards the inside and said, "Fellow Daoist Meng, please forgive me for coming uninvited."
The mansion's door opened on its own, and a voice sounded from inside, "Since Fellow Daoist is here, please come in and have a seat."
Daoist Qi stepped inside and arrived at the main hall. He saw Meng Huanzhen there, with an exquisite Tianxia zither placed in front of her. It seemed that she had just been adjusting its tone.
He smiled and said, "It seems that I've disturbed Fellow Daoist Meng's mood."
Meng Huanzhen calmly said, "It's fine. Fellow Daoist, please take a seat."
Daoist Qi waved his hand and said, "There's no need. I'll leave after saying a few words. I heard that Fellow Daoist Meng had come into contact with that Zhang Xuanzheng the day before yesterday. Did you discover anything?"
Meng Huanzhen gently plucked the zither, and the sound of a deep stream flowed out. She said with an indifferent expression, "Fellow Daoist Qi is quite well-informed. I've already personally investigated this matter. Zhang Xuanzheng only used an ordinary Daoist technique that day. It was only because his methods were exquisite that he was able to suppress Bai Xiu at the final juncture."
"Is that so?"
Daoist Qi looked somewhat disappointed and said, "Alright then. It seems that I've come for nothing. Fellow Daoist Meng, let's exchange information again if there's anything else."
Meng Huanzhen gently nodded.
Daoist Qi cupped his hands towards her and then retreated. When he was outside, he disappeared in a flash.
After he left, Meng Huanzhen stood up and sat down in front of a desk. She took out a letter she had previously written from her Astral Pouch.
The letter described the battle between Zhang Yu and Bai Xiu in detail, and it especially included the imperial edict that shocked Bai Xiu's divine ability at the end. At this moment, she stared at it, and the entire letter burst into flames in a split second, turning into a pile of drifting ashes in the blink of an eye.
Then, she thought for a moment, sat up straight, picked up the pen from the table, and wrote another letter.
However, this time, she only mentioned the Edict Divine Ability in a neutral manner. At the end, she even wrote down the conversation she had with Zhang Yu that day. However, she also deliberately omitted the part about the Word Seal.
Within the Guangzhou Inspection Department, Zhang Yu was sitting behind a desk, reading the reports submitted by the cultivators below.
Previously, with the cooperation of the Inspection Department and Xuanfu cultivators, the creators' substitutes in the two manors had already been cleaned up, but at that time, they knew that there must be some left behind.
After Fang Yuzhong was taken into custody, he provided a complete list of names and dug out some of the creations that had been hidden very deeply.
However, because they had lost a part of their consciousness, there was no guarantee that all of their creators were here.
However, the two manors attached great importance to this matter. Almost every official had to undergo an evaluation, so even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, they wouldn't be able to cause any harm.
After reading the reports, he walked out of the inner hall and came to the yamen's square.
Cao Fangding and Shi Yue from the Tianji Department, who had gone out to hunt Wu Hai, sent a letter yesterday, saying that all the people of the Wu Department had been captured, and none of them had escaped. Calculating the time, it was about time for them to arrive.
After waiting for less than half an hour, a flying boat came from the sky and stopped on the boat platform outside the Inspection Department. After Cao Fangding and Shi Yue came out, they directly came to the yamen's square and landed in front of him. Then, they raised their hands and bowed, "Greetings, Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu nodded back and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoists."
Cao Fangding said, "Xuan Zheng, we captured nearly 7,000 people this time. We borrowed two flying boats from the Inspection Department of Qi Province, so we were delayed for a while on the way."
Shi Yue said, "This trip went smoothly. The general situation was written in the report, but there's one thing I need you to report." He transmitted a few words.
Zhang Yu's eyes moved, and he said, "Where is he?"
Shi Yue said, "He's on the flying boat that came together."
Zhang Yu said, "Take me there to take a look."
Shi Yue agreed.
Not long after, the three of them came to the cabin in the middle of the flying boat.
There was a ten feet tall glass cabin, which was filled with mist, and a vague figure stood there. On both sides of the glass cabin, there were two disciples who were responsible for looking after it.
Shi Yue said, "According to the Wu Institution, this person is the original body of the Creator. According to them, this person is a Xuanfu cultivator who was brought back from the Dongting Protectorate."
Zhang Yu looked over and immediately saw the face of the person inside clearly. His eyes narrowed, and he said, "Bring the Wu Institution here."
Shi Yue gave an order to the side, and a disciple cupped his hands and left.
After a while, the Wu Institution was brought over. His body was not tied up, and his clothes were still clean, but his face was very decadent, and he had lost his usual spirit.
He had seen Zhang Yu on the light screen, but when he saw him up close, he felt like an immortal standing in front of him. He was frightened for a moment, and he forced himself to calm down, cupped his hands and said, "Sinner Wu Zhu greets Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu asked, "How did you find him?"
The Wu Institution whispered, "Reporting to Xuan Zheng, at that time, the Tenki-in Hall sent the Creator to the Dongting Protectorate to search for a suitable original body.
Our people found several targets through the local spies. After finding an opportunity to check the blood, we confirmed that he was the one we were looking for. So we tried to forge a letter from his family to lure him out of Xuanfu. Then we captured him and finally sent him to the Tenki-in Hall. "
As if he was afraid that Zhang Yu would blame him, he hurriedly said, "It is very difficult to create a duplicate body. Every time we need his blood, so we have been helping him to maintain his life in the peak state. After a few days, we will try to wake him up again. In fact, if he is willing to cooperate, we will not force him to fall into a deep sleep."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "You go and wake him up."
The Wu Institution was relieved and repeatedly said yes.
He leaned on his walking stick and came to the glass cabin. He reached out and pressed on the jade board in front of the cabin. A spiritual light flashed around this thing, and then the fog in the cabin floated out. The glass cover opened up and the figure inside was also revealed.
Shi Yue and the others looked over and found that it was a young man less than twenty years old. At this moment, he was standing there with his eyes closed. However, he was not the same as the Wu Ziwu they saw that day. He was only slightly similar.
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, I'll have to trouble you to take him away."
Shi Yue clasped his hands and brought the Wu Institution and the master craftsmen who were originally looking after here out.
After waiting for them to leave, Zhang Yu walked forward. With a flick of his sleeve, a ray of light shone down. After a while, the young man coughed a few times, then opened his eyes and slowly woke up.
At first, he was still a little confused, but then he seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, a ray of light bloomed from his body. This ray of light was turbulent and fierce. If it was allowed to spread out, it was afraid that the entire cabin of the flying boat would explode.
Zhang Yu stood still. The ray of light on his body turned. Like a stream of water, it easily absorbed the power of the ray of light. There was no collision force, and even the fog in the cabin was not affected at all.
The young man was stunned. When he saw him, he could not help but be surprised and excited. He said, "Head Xuan?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Shaolang Ji, do you still remember what happened before?"
This young man was the Xuanfu disciple Ji Jie, who was placed in the secret room by Xu Ying and had high hopes for.
However, after Zhang Yu became the Head Xuan of Dongting, there was no need for him to hide his identity. Therefore, he gradually revealed his talent. But it was also because of this that he was targeted by the people of the Tenki-in Hall.
Ji Jie recalled and said, "I remember that I was attacked by two soldiers. After I woke up, I was locked in this glass cabin. They wanted me to cooperate, as if to research and create something. But I was unwilling. Later, I fell asleep. During this period, I woke up several times. I don't remember anything else."
Zhang Yu heard that his story was basically the same as the Wu Institution. He said, "You are now free. I have arrested all the people who imprisoned you. But I'm afraid you can't go back for the time being. Follow me for the next few days. "
Ji Jie clasped his hands and said, "Yes, Head Xuan."
Zhang Yu said, "I am no longer the Head Xuan of Dongting Xuanfu. You don't have to call me that."
Ji Jie thought for a while and said, "Yes, Martial Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Yu nodded. Whether it was Ji Jie's master Chen Song or Xu Ying, who later taught him the Dao, they were all of the same generation as him. Therefore, he did not know how to address him.
He walked out with Ji Jie and asked Shi Yue to arrange a place for them to stay.
When he returned to the inner hall of the Inspection Department, he began to think about the arrangements for Ji Jie.
Ji Jie was born with all six seals and full spirit. If the Creator wanted to succeed in a short period of time, they would need to use him.
Now that the Creator's skills had been spread by Fang Yu, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would come looking for Ji Jie. Therefore, it was no longer suitable for him to stay in the Dongting Protectorate. It was best to hide his whereabouts. Otherwise, he could still be found.
Thinking of this, he wrote a letter and then found a cultivator to send it to Dongting Xuanfu. He also told him to personally hand it to Head Xuan Xiang Chun.
After taking care of the remaining matters, he went back to his seat.
Nine days passed in a flash.
Zhang Yu left the Inspection Department because of his promise with Meng Jianzhen. He flew east and arrived at the place where he fought with Bai Xiudou.
Not long after, a bright moon rose above the sea. Meng Jianzhen's cloud boat also appeared in the sky. She approached and bowed, saying, "Zhang Xuanzheng greets you."
Zhang Yu returned the greeting, saying, "Fellow Daoist Meng greets you."
Meng Jianzhen said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, why don't you come on the cloud boat to talk?"
Zhang Yu nodded and walked up.
Meng Jianzhen waved her hand and a short table was raised on the cloud boat. On it were porcelain teacups. She held the corner of her sleeve with one hand and made an inviting gesture with the other, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please sit."
Zhang Yu rolled up his sleeves and sat down across from her.
Meng Jianzhen also sat down. Then, she formed a spell. Clouds and mist enveloped the entire cloud boat. Then, it shook and sank into the sea.
