Zhang Yu and Daoist Zuo stood on the rooftop of a mooring boat in the encampment. They watched as a shiny flying boat passed through the violent snowstorm and flew straight into the void.
This was a stealthy flying boat that could only be used in an emergency, and there was only one in the station. This flying boat could deal with most adverse weather conditions, and its speed was also very fast. Moreover, it could also avoid the detection of ordinary cultivators.
This time, Miao Guangwu's assistant, Deng Hui, was taking the flying boat to deliver the message to Yi Wei Heavenly City.
This person was Miao Guangwu's confidant. He came from a clean background and his background was very clean.
Zhang Yu had also checked this person. There was nothing wrong with this person. As Deng Hui had been following Miao Guangwu all this time, he was very familiar with the people that Miao Guangwu had interacted with. He was the most suitable person to deliver the message.
Daoist Zuo watched as the flying boat gradually disappeared from sight. He said, "Miao Sima said that the flying boat would take at most four to five days to reach Yi Wei Heavenly City. It seems that we only need to wait for about ten days and there will be a result."
Zhang Yu said, "It would be best if this message could be delivered directly to the Military Affairs Department. However, the situation in Heaven City is complicated. We can't just place all our hopes on this. We have to make other preparations."
Daoist Zuo's heart trembled. He said, "Fellow Daoist, you mean to say that there might be more changes to this matter?"
Zhang Yu said, "I don't want this to happen. However, we have to be prepared. Fellow Daoist Zuo, I hope that you can take a trip back to Kui Zuo Earth on my behalf. If this assistant Deng Cong is unable to deliver the message to the Military Affairs Department in time, then we will have to rely on you."
Daoist Zuo immediately said, "I will not shirk from this responsibility."
Zhang Yu took out a jade box from his astral bag and handed it to Daoist Zuo. He said, "There is a message talisman on this jade box. It has my patrolman seal on it. There is also a memorial inside.
After Fellow Daoist arrives at Kuizu Earth Star, you can go to the northern polar region of Earth Star. With this communication talisman, you should be able to find the place where Xuanting set up to present his letter. When you arrive there, Fellow Daoist can present my letter to Xuanfu. Just remember to get the jade token for the letter later. "
In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't leave this place, he would have done it himself. But now, he could only ask Heretic Daoist for help.
Solemnly, Daoist Zuo took it and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Patrol Officer. I won't let you down."
Zhang Yu said, "I'll have the white boat take you and a flying boat out of the blizzard. From there, you can go directly to the void. However, you must be careful. As long as it's safe, it doesn't matter even if it takes a few days. After this matter is over, I'll ask for your reward."
Daoist Zuo nodded and said, "I'll pack up and set off." After bowing, he waved his horsetail whisk and left.
Zhang Yu looked up. In fact, there was another reason why he sent Daoist Zuo to Kuizu Earth Star. Although the Frost Star Station was under his control, and he had cut off the channels of information to the outside world, it didn't mean that he would be safe for the next few days.
He didn't know if Daoist Ji's death would alarm the person behind it.
He knew that in the True Cultivator Inheritance, the sect would usually monitor the life and death of the more important figures.
If that was the case, it was very likely that the other party would send someone to investigate the situation. However, he didn't know how long it would take for the other party to arrive and who would come.
This wasn't a big deal. He was afraid that the other party would contact the spies in the Military Affairs Department first. This would make it difficult for him to return and report.
This left him with no choice but to make arrangements.
While he was thinking, a soldier walked up and cupped his fists. "Advisor Zhang, Major Miao wants to see you."
Zhang Yu nodded. He came down from the rooftop and entered the inner hall. Miao Guangwu was flipping through something. When he saw him, he stood up to welcome him. Then, he handed over the document in his hand and said, "I interrogated Chen Tan. This is his confession."
Zhang Yu took the document he handed over and opened it to read.
Chen Tan, also known as Deputy Major Chen, was forty-three years old this year. When he was thirty-five years old, he was already the Deputy Military Marquis of the garrison. He was considered young and promising among the people of Tianxia. However, according to his own confession, it was because of this that he was targeted by the cultivators of Shangchen.
During an operation, he was captured by the cultivators of Shangchen. He knew that he couldn't resist the methods of the cultivators, so he took the initiative to pledge his allegiance to the other party.
The cultivators of Shangchen didn't let him consume any pills that could control his body and mind. This was because the garrison would send cultivators to check on his body every year. If they found that he was affected by the pills, he couldn't stay in the garrison anymore.
Therefore, he only signed the next letter. In the ten years after that, the other party didn't ask him to do anything. Instead, they always tried to give him opportunities to perform meritorious deeds. That was how he rose to the position of Deputy Major.
Four years ago, when he took over as Deputy Major, the cultivators of Shangchen began to set up formations on Earth Star and asked him to find ways to protect it.
Chen Tan did not know what the big formation was used for. He only knew that the other party had set up smaller formations all over the Earth Star to sort out the Earth Qi. Then, they would use the big formation to gather the Earth Qi. As for the big formation at the northern end of the Earth Star, it had never been activated before Zhang Yu and the others arrived.
After Zhang Yu finished reading, he put down the document in his hand.
Miao Guangwu said in a low voice, "I've known Chen Tan for more than ten years. I didn't expect him to pledge his allegiance to the Shangchen cultivators so early. However, the people of Shangchen obviously don't treat him as one of their own. There are some things he doesn't know. As a cultivator, Lin Zhonggu might know more."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and nodded. "Then I'll interrogate Lin Daoxiu."
After the invisible airship left Frost Star, it flew all the way to Kui Host Planet. The airship's speed was faster than expected. In just four days, it could already see Yimei Sky City.
Deputy Deng Hui remembered Miao Guangwu's instructions. Because they might run into him this time, they had to find a way to return to Kui Host Planet first. Then, they had to find a way to contact Hong Yuanqiu, the head of the Kui Host Military Affairs Department, and tell him about what happened on Frost Star.
While they were flying, an airship suddenly appeared in front of them. It looked like a patrol airship. He didn't feel at ease coming into contact with the people of the Military Affairs Department, so he took the initiative to avoid it.
However, he didn't expect that the airship seemed to have already discovered him, and very nimbly turned around and followed him.
The patrol airship's speed was also very fast. After catching up to it, the airship's abdomen flashed and a mystic weapon shot directly at him.
Deng Hui was shocked and hurriedly dodged. He was skilled and prepared in advance, so he was able to dodge it.
However, the other party seemed to be aiming to kill him. One Profound Weapon, then the second one, the third one … After dodging five Profound Weapons in a row, he finally made a mistake and was finally hit by the Profound Weapon. With a boom, the entire flying boat exploded in the void!
In Yimei Sky City, Chen Qianding sat cross-legged on a platform, staring at the endless void.
A skinny Daoist whispered from behind him, "Senior Brother's guess was correct. A hidden airship belonging to Froststar has indeed arrived. I've already dealt with it."
Chen Qianding said, "Did you report it?"
The skinny Daoist laughed. "Yes, I did. Who told them not to send a message in advance? I can only treat it as an unknown airship. "
Chen Qianding said, "Very good, you may leave."
The skinny Daoist bowed and slowly retreated.
Chen Qianding's gaze was deep. Two days ago, he received a secret letter informing him that Ji and Pan were dead on Froststar and asked him to investigate. At that time, he knew something had happened on Froststar.
He guessed that the problem was with Zhang Yu and the others.
At that time, he only wanted to send the Fu and Wei families, as well as Zhang Yu and Heretical Daoist, to Froststar to deal with them. But now, it seemed that he had underestimated their strength.
He had heard that Zhang Yu had defeated Nie Yin and was not weak. However, an ambush was not a one-on-one fight, and all kinds of methods could be used. He did not expect that there would still be a mistake.
But now, he still had time to make up for it.
He stood up and walked into a spacious hall. Then, he touched his astral pouch, and a cloud of smoke spread out. After the smoke dissipated, a crystal cabinet appeared in front of him.
He walked up and moved the top of the crystal cabinet away with a flick of his sleeve. A haggard Daoist lay inside.
This was a Dao pawn.
If others knew that he, Xuan Zun's second-ranked disciple, was secretly refining a Dao pawn, they would probably be shocked.
Chen Qianding's gaze fell.
This Dao pawn's identity was not ordinary. He was a patroller sent by Xuan Zun twenty years ago. His cultivation was not lacking, and he thought highly of himself, but he was still killed on a desolate Earth Star.
But the strength of this Dao pawn was still fresh in his memory. Several people besieged him, but they could not do anything to him. They were even almost killed by him. If not in the end …
He shook his head and pointed a finger. A ray of light fell, and the Dao pawn immediately opened his eyes. Then, he sat up and walked out of the crystal cabinet. But his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at him.
Chen Qianding said indifferently, "Don't look at me like that. Since you've become a Dao pawn, you must accept your identity." He took out a pill from his sleeve and said, "Take this."
The Dao pawn did not disobey. He took the pill and swallowed it. In just a moment, his wrinkled face gradually became plump. In the end, he became a handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
Chen Qianding handed over a foot-long jade box and said, "Your magic tool. I'll return it to you now."
A ray of light appeared in the Dao pawn's eyes. He took it and opened the box. He saw sixteen foot-long small swords neatly placed inside.
Chen Qianding raised his hand. The figures of Zhang Yu and Daoist Zuo appeared beside him. "The flying ship has been arranged. Go to Frost Star and deal with these two people."
After giving his instructions, he turned and walked out. Only the Dao pawn was left standing there, his eyes flickering.
A moment later, an invisible flying ship flew out of Yimei City and quickly disappeared into the void.
