It wasn't difficult for Zhang Yu to understand the meaning of Zuo Daoist's words. He suspected that Xuan Zun was related to the cultivators of Shangchen, and because of Pei Yue's appearance, he suspected that the person was Xuan Zun, who had sent his incarnation to guard Kuizu Earth.
However, he didn't think so.
If Pei Yue was really related to Xuan Zun, then the matter of the giant ship's appearance, even if it was Xuan Zun's incarnation, he could have easily solved it. There was no need for them to investigate at all, and there was no need for Pei Yue to rush over to make up for his negligence.
This proved that there was no relationship between the two.
Therefore, the most likely possibility was that Pei Yue might be related to someone around Xuan Zun, or even one of his disciples. In that case, it would make sense for him to say that he was from Tian City.
As for his true identity and who was hiding behind him, they would have to go back and investigate carefully.
He said, "Fellow Daoist, don't think too much. If that was the case, you and I wouldn't be standing here in one piece. Fellow Daoist, you might be suspecting someone else."
Zuo Daoist thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, what you said makes sense. I hope so."
He looked around and said, "Fellow Daoist, let's search this place again. If there are no abnormalities, we'll go back."
Zhang Yu nodded. His gaze turned and fell on the Yellow Dragon's Soul Essence. After Pei Yue was killed, the Soul Essence had withered there and was now motionless.
He reached out and took out a bone fragment from the pile of debris of Pei Yue's Yin statue. This was where the Yellow Dragon's Soul Essence was placed. With this item, he could control the dragon.
With a flick of his wrist, the Yellow Dragon's Soul Essence immediately dissipated, turning into specks of golden light. In the end, it was absorbed into the bone piece. The Cicada Sword that was nailed to the ground also whistled and flew back, circling around his body.
He said, "Fellow Daoist Zuo, I'll keep this bone fragment for now. We'll divide the items found here after we go back."
Zuo Daoist shook his head and said, "It was Fellow Daoist Zhang who killed Pei Yue. I didn't do much, so this thing should be yours."
He wasn't being polite, but he really didn't want to get this thing.
In his opinion, this thing was very troublesome. Even if Pei Yue didn't have Xuan Zun's backing, he might be involved with other cultivators. if he had this thing, he might be targeted by others. Why would he take it? He couldn't wait for Zhang to take it away.
He Daoist Zuo Daoist Zhang didn't speak, and temporarily put the bone fragment's't Zuo.
Zuo Daoist Zuo patted the jade walls on both sides of the hall and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, Pei Yue's real body is hidden here, and he can control this flying boat. He might be the owner of this flying boat. This flying boat has been here for at least two to three hundred years. If that's the case, he must've been wandering around my Great Constellation Star for hundreds of years."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "That might not be the case. The flying boat's body is damaged, so he must've been through a battle before he came to Great Constellation Star. Perhaps he was severely injured, and had no choice but to refine a clone.
The Yin Image Clay Fetus isn't something that can be done overnight. It needs to be refined bit by bit, and it will take at least a few decades. If it's slow, it could even take up to a hundred years. The magic power lost in the process has to be cultivated again. Therefore, this person wouldn't have been here for more than a hundred years. "
Zuo Daoist Zuo sighed and said, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zhang to know such a secret method of True Cultivation. I'm impressed."
After the two of them inspected the entire hall, they saw that there was nothing else here except for the jade box that Pei Yue's real body carried.
However, Zuo Daoist Zuo was still unwilling to take it, so Zhang Yu kept it.
Zuo Daoist Zuo said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, when we return, how will you report this matter?"
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Zuo, are you afraid that there are still Shangchen cultivators or spies in Heavenly City? If we report the truth, they will be alerted?"
Zuo Daoist Zuo said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Zuo, please draft a cover-up statement. I will agree with you."
Zuo Daoist Zuo hesitated. This was the best way to go, but if he didn't tell the truth, and if there were any slip-ups, the Military Affairs Department would investigate thoroughly. Therefore, he was in a dilemma.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "I understand your concerns, Fellow Daoist Zuo, but you don't have to worry about the Military Affairs Department. I will write a letter to Xuanting stating the truth."
"Submit a letter to Xuanting?"
Zuo Daoist Zuo was stunned. To be able to submit a letter to Xuanting, he must have been given a position by Xuanting. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu seriously, then clasped his hands and asked carefully, "May I ask where you are from, Fellow Daoist Zuo?"
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and held the Xuanting Seal in the palm of his hand. Zuo Daoist Zuo looked at the jade seal and his eyes narrowed. He immediately clasped his hands and said, "I didn't know that you were Xuanting, I apologize for my lack of respect."
However, at this moment, he calmed down. To be honest, he was still a little worried about this matter. Compared to the enemies on the surface, those who couldn't be seen and who hid in the dark were the most difficult to deal with. He was deeply afraid that he would be plotted against when he returned. However, with Xuanting here, he was more or less confident.
Just as the two of them were talking, the giant ship suddenly rumbled, and the movement became louder and louder.
Zuo Daoist Zuo couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhang Yu sensed it and said, "It's fine. This flying ship relies on the fire essence to maintain its spirituality and prevent evil from the void from invading. When Pei Yue fought with me just now, the fire essence on the ship was depleted. Now, the flying ship is absorbing the essence from the fire to maintain itself. It will be fine in a moment."
As expected, after about a hundred breaths, the surrounding movement stopped.
After the two of them decided to submit a letter to the Military Department, they walked out of the hall.
Fu Cuo had been guarding outside. Just now, the giant ship had collided several times and shook incessantly. Later on, the entire flying ship had swayed and swayed. He was also trembling with fear. At this moment, when he saw Zuo Daoist Zuo and Zhang Yu walking out together, although he didn't know when Zhang Yu had entered, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He cupped his hands towards the two and asked tentatively, "Zuo Xuanxiu, Zhang Xuanxiu, may I know what is inside …"
Zuo Daoist said, "There are no Shangchen cultivators inside. It was purely that Pei Yue who bullied us and tried to occupy this place. This person even attacked me and Fellow Daoist Zhang. Fortunately, he was killed by Xuanxiu."
Fu Cuo said angrily, "When I saw this person just now, I felt that he wasn't a good person. Fortunately, Zuo Xuanxiu and Xuanxiu were here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have succeeded."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Zuo, this is not a good place. We should leave this place as soon as possible. As for the matter of the two families' capture, we can discuss it after we return to Ye Ya Province."
Zuo Daoist said, "This is also my intention."
Zhang Yu nodded at him and said goodbye. Then, he walked out. When the soldiers of the Fu family who were guarding the passage saw him coming, they were intimidated by his aura. Even if there was no one to take care of them, they couldn't help but make way for him.
Seeing him leave, Fu Cuo turned his head and said, "Zuo Xuanxiu, what is inside …"
Zuo Daoist shook his head at him and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back first."
Zhang Yu walked out of the giant ship along the passage. When he looked down, he found that the landscape outside was very different from what he had seen before.
It seemed that because of the tremor just now, deep cracks appeared on the ground within dozens of miles. It turned out that the flourishing plants outside were also in a mess.
He looked for a moment and paused. In a flash, he had returned to the Wei family's army.
Wei Lingying and the others had been standing guard near the entrance of the pit. When they sensed the movement from the giant ship, they were also very worried. Now that Zhang Yu had returned, they couldn't help but smile and come forward to welcome him.
Zhang Yu said to Wei Lingying, "General Wei, the situation inside has been investigated clearly. However, we can't stay here for long. We can go back first. After we return, I will tell General Wei in detail."
Jin Xiaobai said in distress, "But I'm afraid we can't move yet."
Zhang Yu asked and found out that when the earth had cracked and sunk, although the soldiers had been able to avoid it, the airships that were parked on flat ground couldn't be moved. They were trying to pull them out now. However, after this torment, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
However, it wasn't just them. Even the Fu family's army was in a similar predicament.
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said to Wei Lingying, "General Wei, you can return with the Fu family's army first. I still have some matters to attend to here. I can return by myself later."
Wei Lingying said seriously, "Xuanxiu, you can go by yourself. You don't have to worry about us."
Zhang Yu nodded to her and then raised his head. With a boom, he had already flown into the sky.
This time, he didn't fly back. Instead, he flew toward the polar region not far from here. Along the way, he poured his heart force into the Xuanting Patrol Officer's seal and sensed a vague boundary.
After a while, a pure white snowy land appeared in front of him. When he arrived here, the sunlight gradually receded and the void appeared. The colorful starry clouds in the sky also became exceptionally clear.
He followed his senses and finally landed on a solid mountain ridge.
There was a very ordinary-looking ice pit here. After he stood still, he took out the Patrol Officer's seal and gently released it. The seal slowly fell and finally sank into the ice pit.
In an instant, a bright light shone out from the ice pit. The entire pit continued to expand. Then, he felt his body sinking. When he sank into the ground, an indomitable jade wall appeared in front of him.
This was the place the Xuanting had set up to submit petitions in the Great Constellation Star. There was one in the North and South Polar Regions.
Even the Xuan Zun's clone guarding this planet might not know about these two boundaries. In fact, even if he knew, unless the Xuan Zun came personally, it would be impossible for a clone to enter without the seal.
He took out a pen and paper from his astral bag and began to write a petition on the spot.
He had already thought about it earlier. Daoist Zuo's words actually made some sense. Although this Xuan Zun on the Great Constellation Star might not be a problem, perhaps there really was a Xuan Zun that was related to Shangchen.
However, this kind of matter, even if he was the Xuanting Patrol Officer, he wouldn't be able to find out the truth. This was because the difference between the two sides was too great. Even a Xuan Zun clone wasn't something he could resist.
Right now, the only thing he could do was to tell the truth about this trip in his petition and let the Xuanting judge for himself.
