After waiting for another two days, a fleet of 40 flying ships flew over from outside Earth Star. They released a bright light in the sky, indicating their identities to the garrison. Then, they landed on the deck of the garrison's ship.
The cabin door of the main ship opened, and an old Daoist walked out. He was followed by a group of armored soldiers and a dozen or so officials from the Military Affairs Department.
Miao Guangwu led the garrison's soldiers to welcome them. When he saw that the people from the Military Affairs Department had finally arrived, he heaved a sigh of relief.
During this period of time, he was under a lot of pressure. He was afraid that the cultivators from Shangchen would take advantage of the snowstorm to attack. If they failed or something else happened, he would not be able to redeem himself even if he died.
Furthermore, he was not sure if there were any spies among the garrison. This was also one of the reasons why he was willing to hand the defensive formation over to Zhang Yu. Fortunately, such a thing did not happen in the end.
He walked forward and bowed to the old Daoist walking at the front, "Yan Daoxiu greets you."
This old Daoist was called Yan Zhuang. He was the guardian of the Military Affairs Department and had been in the outer layer for more than a hundred years. This person was a formation expert. Many of the formations in the Land, including the Frost Star Defensive Formation, were set up by him. Every year, he would come over to inspect the formations, so he knew him.
Yan Daoist bowed and said, "Miao Sima greets you."
Miao Guangwu looked up and asked, "Has Deputy Deng Cong not returned?"
Yan Daoist shook his head and said, "I am only here on the orders of the Commissioner. I have not seen Deputy Deng Cong."
Miao Guangwu suppressed the doubts in his heart and greeted the people around him one by one. Then, he led them into the inner room.
Fu Cuo and Fu Cuo were also standing nearby and watching.
Fu Cuo said with an agitated expression, "Father, since the people from the Military Affairs Department are here, we should also go up and prove our innocence. This time, the garrison made a move against us, causing us to lose a lot of soldiers. Just the compensation is a large sum of money. We cannot suffer a loss for nothing."
Fu Yong shook his head and said, "It is best that we do not take the initiative to mention this."
Fu Cuo was surprised and said, "Why is that? Father, are you afraid of Miao Sima? Heh, he made such a big mistake this time, but his glory won't last long. What's there to be afraid of? "
Fu Yong said in a low voice, "The garrison has also lost many soldiers this time. They didn't fall on the battlefield, but died in a conflict with us. If this were to spread out, it wouldn't be good. In the future, we will have to deal with the Military Affairs Department and many other garrisons. Although these garrisons aren't united internally, they feel the same way to the outside world. If we were to cause trouble, we might be put in a difficult position in the future."
But Fu Cuo was unconvinced and said, "We've already offended them, are we still scared of them? Moreover, are we just going to let this matter go? "
Fu Yong said, "Don't be anxious. In reality, they won't find this matter honorable either. Of course, they don't wish for this matter to be made public. We can sit down and slowly discuss this matter after this matter is over. It's better than bringing this matter to the Military Affairs Department."
After the group of people from the Military Affairs Department sat down, a civil official surnamed Wang took the lead and said, "Miao Sima, we received a report that a large formation set up by Shangchen cultivators has appeared on Frost Star. Moreover, it might involve many Earthly Stars. Therefore, we are here on the orders of the Military Affairs Department to understand the details."
Miao Guangwu was a little confused. From the tone of this person's voice, the Military Affairs Department didn't seem to have received his report. Instead, they seemed to have found out about this matter from elsewhere. He said, "Since this is the Military Affairs Department's arrangement, I will cooperate fully."
The civil official surnamed Wang then asked about the situation in detail. Miao Sima answered all of them, but when it came to the matter of the large formation, he couldn't help but mention Zhang Yu and the Wei Clan Army.
The civil official surnamed Wang said, "Can you invite Advisor Zhang over for questioning? Yan Daoxiu and I would like to ask Advisor Zhang a few things. "
Miao Guangwu said, "I will send someone to invite him over."
At this moment, Zhang Yu was reading a book in his room. After receiving the report, he immediately walked out and quickly entered the inner hall.
When they saw him enter, everyone in the Military Affairs Department stood up and bowed to him.
This wasn't just because he was the Xuanting Advisor, but also because they knew that he was the one who discovered and stopped the Shangchen cultivators' plan. He also sent out the news in time.
After the greetings, the civil official surnamed Wang turned around and gave some instructions. Immediately, most of the people left. Only Zhang Yu, Yan Zhuang, Miao Guangwu, and himself were left in the room.
The civil official surnamed Wang politely asked Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu explained how he discovered the large formation and how he fought with the Shangchen cultivators.
After understanding the general situation, Daoist Yan suggested that they take a look at the large formation. Thus, everyone boarded their respective flying boats and arrived at the northern end of Earth Star as quickly as possible.
Two days later, the flying boat landed in the north. Daoist Yan brought more than ten disciples to take a look at the battle array. When he came back, he said in a low voice, "The battle array here is indeed connected to the outside of the sky. According to this arrangement, it can be connected to at least five Earthly Stars."
The civil official surnamed Wang's expression was solemn. This was definitely not a small matter. He asked, "Daoist Yan, can you tell what this person is trying to do?"
Yan Zhuang stroked his beard and said, "It's still hard to tell. This formation uses the Earth Star's ley lines to obtain the formation's power. As for what the formation's power is used for, it depends on the formation's pivot. However, if the pivot hasn't been set up yet, then its use is unknown."
The civil official surnamed Wang nodded and said, "No matter what, since we discovered this, we can't let them succeed. I will send a message back now."
He immediately took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and placed the report he had just written into it. He tossed the talisman into the sky and bowed. The talisman immediately turned into a golden light and flew into the void.
This kind of flying talisman was extremely precious and difficult to refine. However, under the influence of the Outer Evil of the Void, it could only be used once. Unless there was a really big problem or an emergency, it would definitely not be used.
The civil official surnamed Wang retracted his gaze and looked at Miao Guangwu. He said, "Major Miao, you need to make some preparations. After a few days, the Military Affairs Department will probably summon you back for questioning. There will be someone else stationed here to replace you."
Miao Guangwu's expression dimmed. He said, "Yes, I understand."
Ever since he found out about the changes on Frost Star, he knew that he couldn't continue to be a Major. He was already prepared to be replaced and questioned.
After giving his instructions, the civil official surnamed Wang returned to Zhang Yu. He cupped his hands and said, "Advisor Zhang, this time, it was you and the Wei Clan army who stopped this matter. I will report your contributions to the Military Affairs Department."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. "I've been out for a long time. If there's nothing else, I will return to Kui Residence in a moment."
The civil official surnamed Wang said, "The situation here is clear. I dare not obstruct you." At this time, he took out a name card from his sleeve and handed it over. "The chief ordered me to give this to Advisor Zhang. You can use this to meet the chief at any time."
Zhang Yu received it and bowed again before parting ways. Just as he was about to leave, Miao Guangwu found him alone and said, "Inspector Zhang, I am now a criminal. There are many things I can't ask about. If you see Deputy Deng Cong after you return, please tell him to return as soon as possible."
Deng Hui had not returned for a long time. He had some guesses in his heart, but he still had a trace of hope before the results were out.
Zhang Yu nodded. "I will pay attention to this matter."
Miao Guangwu thanked him gratefully and cupped his hands. "Please."
After bidding farewell to him, Zhang Yu flew into the sky and returned to the encampment. After discussing with Wei Lingying, they decided to return to Kui Residence today.
Fu Yong had been paying attention to the movements of the Wei Clan army. When he heard that they were returning, he immediately came to discuss. Since the two clans came together, could they return together?
At this moment, they already knew that Zuo Daoist had other matters to attend to and could not guard their army. If someone were to plot against them, Zuo Daoist's two disciples alone would not be able to protect them.
Zhang Yu had no objection to this.
After half a day of packing, the Wei Clan army boarded the white boats one after another. The Fu Clan army also boarded the two flying boats they borrowed from the encampment.
The three flying boats slowly rose from the roof of the white boat and quickly disappeared into the void.
Five days later, the three flying boats successfully returned to Kui Residence Planet. After entering Ye Ya State, they separated. The white boat flew for another ten breaths and slowly landed in the encampment of the Wei Clan army.
After Zhang Yu waited for everyone to get off the flying boat, he stretched out his hand and the flying boat turned into light and flew into his astral bag.
When Wei Lingying saw this scene, she was also very envious of this flying boat. If the Wei Clan army also had this flying boat, then they would not have to worry about any obstacles wherever they went and would not have to destroy the flying boat so easily.
Fortunately, although the flying boat was destroyed this time, because they had made a lot of contributions, the Military Affairs Department would compensate them.
Zhang Yu bid farewell to the Wei Clan army and returned to the encampment with Qing Shu.
Just as he walked to the bottom of the high platform, he saw a golden shadow flash. Miao Danjun jumped down from the rooftop and landed lightly on the ground. He ran two steps and then jumped up again.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and supported Miao Danjun. Miao Danjun squatted firmly on his palm. He reached out and rubbed the little leopard cat's head twice before putting it down.
Li Qinghe and Qingxi were both there. When they saw him return, they immediately came out from the inner room to welcome him.
Zhang Yu asked a few questions outside and learned that nothing had happened recently, so he let Li Qinghe and others go. After changing into a loose Taoist robe, he came to the study room.
After not returning for a month, a lot of letters had accumulated on the desk. Most of them were from the people he had dealt with before. After reading them, he wrote a reply one by one.
Then he picked up the newspaper of the past month and flipped through it. Seeing that there was no difference from the past, he put it aside.
But next, he still needed to investigate some things.
One was the banknotes from the Shangchen cultivator. He needed to see if he could find some clues from it.
The other thing was to try to investigate the origin of the sword cultivator. With the strength that person had shown, it was impossible for him to be unknown in the past. Maybe he could find something from this person.
Not long after he returned, a letter was also sent to Heaven City. After Cultivator Xu received the letter, he clutched the visualization diagram in his chest and gritted his teeth. "He's finally back?"
