Frost Star, the garrison's ice room.
This was where the garrison temporarily placed the remains of the soldiers who died in battle. All the soldiers who died in this conflict were placed here.
At this moment, the ice room's metal door silently opened. One of the garrison's three garrison guards, Qi Xuanxiu, walked in expressionlessly.
He walked down the stairs and slowly walked along the narrow corridor. After walking for around 30m, his footsteps stopped, and his gaze shot to the side. He saw a damaged sword piece embedded in the jade wall.
He stared at it for a moment, then slowly reached out his hand and pressed it against the stone wall on the other side.
At this moment, he seemed to have noticed something. He turned around and saw Daoist Niu, another garrison guard, standing at the door. He looked over and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, what are you doing here?"
Qi Xuanxiu said, "This time, the Military Affairs Department is rearranging people. I'm going back with them. One of my grandnephews died here. I plan to bring his corpse back with me."
Daoist Niu glanced at him and said, "Captain Qi? So he's your grandnephew. What a pity. Why haven't I heard you mention him before? "
Qi Xuanxiu said, "Although we worked together, you're a True Cultivator and I'm Xuanxiu. We're not close."
Daoist Niu said, "That's true."
At this moment, Qi Xuanxiu reached out and pressed against the stone wall. The stone cabinet embedded in the room immediately moved back and then slowly moved out along the sliding rails behind it.
After doing this, he withdrew his hand and walked towards the door. During this process, he didn't even look at Daoist Niu and directly walked out.
Daoist Niu looked at his back and then at the place where the small sword fragment was embedded. With a wave of his sleeve, the metal door closed again.
Yi Wei Heavenly City.
After Zhang Yu came out from Hong Yuanqiu's office, he stepped onto the flying jade saucer and descended. Just as he was about to leave, he saw two cultivators walking towards him. One of them cupped his hands and said, "Are you Advisor Zhang?"
Zhang Yu stopped and nodded. "That's me."
The young cultivator took a step to the side and said, "My Senior Martial Brother wants to see Advisor Zhang. I hope Advisor Zhang can come with me."
Zhang Yu asked, "Are you Yu Xuanzun's disciples?"
The young cultivator said with a hint of arrogance, "That's right, how can a normal cultivator come to this Heaven City to cultivate?"
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "I'm busy right now. If your Senior Brother wants to see me, then let him come." With that, he walked away.
The young cultivator couldn't help but be stunned.
After a while, he chuckled, shook his head, and walked to the other side. After a few steps, he stepped onto the flying jade disc. After ten breaths of time, he arrived at a secluded valley filled with vegetation. It was hard to imagine that such a place existed in Heaven City.
A Daoist wearing a light purple Daoist robe with his head in a bun was lying under the roots of a big tree. When he saw the young cultivator come in, he smiled and said, "Junior Martial Brother He, you're back. It seems like you didn't manage to invite him." He said to the cultivator surnamed Xu, "Junior Martial Brother Xu, this Advisor Zhang is really arrogant."
The cultivator surnamed Xu said, "Of course, or else he wouldn't have disrespected Senior Martial Brother Jia that day."
The Daoist wearing a bun said, "Junior Martial Brother Xu, you know that I'm someone who hates trouble. Since he doesn't want to see me, then I can't help you reconcile. I've given you what you wanted, you can deal with the rest by yourself. Don't bother me."
The cultivator surnamed Xu cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother."
The Daoist wearing a bun waved his hand at him and yawned. Then he turned around and went to sleep with his back facing him.
The cultivator surnamed Xu bowed again and left. He stood at the door for a while and then left with a sullen face.
Zhang Yu had already left Heaven City. He released the white boat in midair and landed in the cabin. With a push of his mind, the white boat turned into a white rainbow and flew to the north of Frost Star.
Half a day later, the Land of the Far North descended from the sky. With a thought, he put away the white boat.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked towards a direction.
After a while, he saw a familiar light flying towards him. After it landed, Daoist Zuo walked out and cupped his hands in greeting. He said with joy, "When I saw the white boat passing through the sky, I guessed that Fellow Daoist had returned. How did it go?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand in return and said, "I just returned yesterday. Has Fellow Daoist been here all this time?"
Daoist Zuo nodded and said, "After I sent out the memorial that Fellow Daoist entrusted to me, I was afraid that the person behind the scenes would discover my whereabouts. That's why I've been cultivating here for the past few days."
Zhang Yu said, "This time, it's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Zuo delivering the letter on my behalf that the news reached the Kui Residence Military Department. I have to thank Fellow Daoist."
Daoist Zuo said, "This is something that I should do."
Zhang Yu said, "This time, I came here to deliver a memorial to Xuanting. This time, I'll recommend Fellow Daoist."
Daoist Zuo was pleasantly surprised. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Patrol Officer."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist to wait here."
Daoist Zuo bowed again and retreated to the side.
Zhang Yu came to the ice pit and took out the Patrol Officer's seal, letting it sink into the ice pit. Then, a bright light enveloped him, and his entire person disappeared together with the seal.
Two days later, as a ball of bright light bloomed, his figure appeared again, and then he put away the seal.
At this time, he took out a talisman from his sleeve and wrote a few strokes with his mental strength. Then, he tossed it into the sky and it flew away.
This was to inform Hong Yuanqiu that he had already reported to Xuanting and had them prepare to make arrangements.
Next, it was up to the other party to take the bait.
He retracted his gaze and turned to look at Daoist Zuo, saying, "I've already recommended Fellow Daoist. Soon, there will be a reply, Fellow Daoist can go back and wait."
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
Chen Qanding sat on a praying mat with a row of bamboo chips in front of him. It seemed that he was arranging something. At this moment, the small and skinny Daoist walked in and said, "Senior Brother, I just heard that the Military Affairs Department is preparing to transport Ding Mao's corpse back and hand it over to his sect for disposal."
Chen Qanding put down a bamboo chip and said calmly, "What are you worried about?"
The small and skinny Daoist said anxiously, "Senior Brother, I heard that some divine powers can find many clues from the Dao soldiers' bodies?"
Chen Qanding nodded and said, "If the right person can be found, this is indeed possible. However, I'm sure this news was released by the Military Affairs Department and they're just waiting for us to deliver it to them."
The small and skinny Daoist was shocked and said, "Then how should we do this?"
Chen Qianding flicked his sleeve, and all of the bamboo chips flew into his sleeve. He said indifferently, "There's no need for us to deal with this matter. I've already made arrangements, so there's no need for you to meddle."
The small and skinny Daoist's expression relaxed and said, "So Senior Brother already has plans. I've been nosy." He thought for a while and said softly, "Senior Brother, that Zhang Yu is ultimately an obstacle to us. It's because of him that the Military Affairs Department is investigating the internal affairs. We can't let him continue investigating."
Chen Qanding's eyes flashed and said, "This person is a problem and must be eliminated. However, it can't be on Kuzhu Star. There's been a lot of things recently. Let him be for a few days first."
Frost Star.
The Military Affairs Department had almost finished their investigation on this planet and sealed off the entire formation at the northern end. The reason they didn't remove it was to make it easier for them to find other formations on other planets.
Under proper arrangements, the Military Affairs Department sent out some flying ships to carry the remains of the soldiers who died in the past six months back to Kuzhu Star.
After leaving Frost Star, the flying ship entered the vast void.
After flying for two days, Qi Xuanxiu, who was sitting in the passenger cabin of the flying ship, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
The guards on both sides saw him and bowed respectfully. However, in a place where they couldn't see, a figure who looked just like him was walking towards the back cabin.
He walked all the way to the cabin where the stone cabinet was placed. He saw a familiar figure standing in front of the cabinet and said, "I didn't expect it to be you."
Daoist Niu's body trembled. He turned around and looked at him with narrowed eyes. "It's you?" He said in realization, "Looks like you didn't go to find your grandnephew that day. Instead, you went to leave your aura imprint. Old Qi, I can't tell. When did you start suspecting me?"
Qi Xuanxiu said expressionlessly, "Miao Sima has always trusted you and relied on you for everything. However, in the past three years, not only did he not discover the formation in the north, but he also didn't discover you. Isn't that strange?"
Daoist Niu said playfully, "Oh? Did Miao Sima tell you to watch me? "
Qi Xuanxiu shook his head and said, "He never suspected you and always treated you as a close friend. However, not everyone trusts you."
Daoist Niu smiled. "Looks like I was careless. It's a pity that you discovered it too late." Not long after he said that, the flying ship started to shake with a boom.
Qi Xuanxiu stared at him and said, "What did you do?"
Daoist Niu said indifferently, "I just placed a statue of the Evil God in the flying ship and poured some sacrificial blood oil on the stone cabinet to attract the Evil God."
Qi Xuanxiu's expression turned serious.
At this moment, Daoist Niu stretched out his hand and pressed down on Ding Xuanping's corpse in the stone cabinet with incomparable speed. Wherever his magic power passed, the corpse instantly exploded into a cloud of dust.
After he was done, he laughed and said, "The arrival of the Evil God doesn't differentiate between friend and foe. I won't waste any more time with you."
With a leap, he transformed into a ray of light that smashed through the wall of the cabin and flew out. However, after only two breaths of time, with a bang, he was sent flying back in a sorry state and crashed into the wall of the cabin.
He looked out in shock and saw a young Daoist floating in the void and looking at him calmly. His expression froze and he said, "You are … Shi Yanxin?"
After he said that, his body suddenly trembled. Then, the scenery around him shattered. When he looked again, he saw that he was still sitting in the cabin that he was in at the beginning. It was as if he had never moved at all.
Shi Yanxin stood there with incomparable calmness. The civil official surnamed Wang and Qi Xuanxiu stood behind him. The stone cabinets, the Void, the Evil God, and even the shattered airship from before all seemed like an illusion.
Shi Yanxin said to Scholar Wang calmly, "Advisor Wang, I'll leave this to you." After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Scholar Wang walked forward and waved his hand coldly at Daoist Niu, saying, "Take him down!"
