Based on Zhang Yu's judgment, if Luo Chengfeng was the bait arranged by "Chen Qianding", then that person might choose to deal with him on Earth Star.
Just like how he dealt with Ding Xuanping back then.
Especially now that Yu Xuanzun was summoned for questioning and his incarnation didn't move, if he lured Shangchen cultivators to get rid of him, then he would be able to cover himself up.
Moreover, it couldn't be said that this person didn't have a chance. Back then, Ding Xuanping clearly had the advantage, but he was still inexplicably defeated and ended up being refined into a pawn. This was enough to show that there was an unfathomable force behind this.
If he didn't have Xuanting's treasure on him, he wouldn't have taken this risk.
However, things hadn't happened yet, so he couldn't be sure if it was as he thought. But even if things didn't end up like this, it was still very likely to attract Shangchen cultivators. When the time came, he would catch as many as he could. After all, this person was Tianxia's real enemy.
While waiting, Zhang Yu also asked Bian Lan about some of the situation in his sect. Most of the things involved were not recorded in the Military Affairs Department's books.
Bian Lan seemed to want to clear the suspicion of being in the same sect, and also seemed to want to find the person who was really hiding. He was also very cooperative. As long as he didn't mention specific magical powers and cultivation methods, he would also answer whatever Zhang Yu asked.
After understanding some of the situation, Zhang Yu asked again, "I heard that among Yu Xuanzun's disciples, Liang Daoyou's cultivation is the highest, but he has always been cultivating in the inner layer?"
Bian Lan replied, "Yes, Eldest Senior Brother has always been cultivating in the inner layer. He is indeed the person with the highest cultivation among my fellow disciples. In the early years, before Master's cultivation method, Eldest Senior Brother had already followed by Master's side. It can be said that he has received Master's true teachings.
Moreover, he is extremely compatible with Master's cultivation method. However, Master also said that when Senior Brother Liang solves his own doubts and no longer imitates him, then that is when he can obtain the method. "
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Bian just said that someone seems to be impersonating Fellow Daoist Chen. Then who does Fellow Daoist Bian think it is?"
Bian Lan was silent for a while, but he avoided talking about it and only said, "Inspector Zhang, I thought about it just now. If I don't gain anything this time, I will report this matter to Teacher after I return. Teacher will definitely be able to see through the mystery here."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Alright."
At this time, Bian Lan took out a pill from his sleeve and swallowed it. This pill was used to suppress the Outer Void Evil.
Landing on this barren planet was almost the same as landing in the void. His divine Qi would be contaminated from time to time. Although it did not have much of an impact on a person of his cultivation, he might encounter Douzhan when he came down. He did not want to cause any changes because of a little carelessness.
Zhang Yu did not take any medicine. He had the Tian Huan Jade Coat to protect his body. As long as he maintained it with his heart force, he would not be afraid of this kind of invasion. And this little bit of heart force consumption was far from a burden to him.
After waiting here for almost a day, the three of them noticed that there was a flash of light outside the Earth Star. It was clearly the arrival of a flying boat.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. The nearest Earth Star was almost three days away. However, the stone niche used the Earth Qi to send messages and this person came so quickly. This meant that this flying boat might have been nearby. Perhaps it used a floating stone similar to the Earth Star to hide in the nearby void.
After the flying boat arrived, it landed on the Earth Star. The cabin door opened and three Taoists came out. The one who appeared in front was an old Taoist with white hair and a youthful face. He did not have any accessories on him. He wore a black Taoist robe and held a jade plate in his hand. Behind him were two haggard Taoists. At a glance, one could tell that they were Taoist soldiers.
After the old Taoist walked out of the flying boat, he stood there without moving. He waved his hand and a Taoist soldier flew towards the underground cave.
Zhang Yu pressed on Luo Chengfeng's shoulder so that the latter could see what he was seeing. He asked, "Do you know this person?"
Luo Chengfeng looked at him and shook his head. "I've never seen him before. I've only seen a few Shangchen cultivators, but I've never spoken much."
At this moment, Bian Lan clenched his fist and said, "Patrol Officer Zhang, leave this person to me. I'll do my best to capture him alive."
Zhang Yu said, "Alright. Be careful, Taoist Bian."
The Taoist soldier quickly walked into the underground cave. Bian Lan walked forward and reached out his hand to press lightly on the Taoist soldier. Although the Taoist soldier felt that something was wrong and released his mana to resist, the attack of the heart force was so strong that he could not resist at all. In an instant, he exploded into a pile of dust.
At the same time, Bian Lan's figure flashed and he had already turned into a ray of light and rushed out of the cave.
As soon as the Taoist soldier died, the old Taoist immediately realized something. At first, he was shocked, but then he saw a ray of light rushing towards him. He immediately signaled for the second Taoist soldier to rush down. Then, he pushed the jade plate in his hand forward slightly and raised his other hand to press down.
Bian Lan faced the incoming Taoist soldier and did not do anything. Only a visualization diagram appeared on his body. Then, he easily rushed forward and the Taoist soldier was instantly turned into a pile of dust.
However, with this pause, the jade plate in the old Taoist's hand also began to spin. Suddenly, a ball of spiritual light bloomed from within. The moment Bian Lan rushed out and entered, the two of them suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Yu could naturally see that Bian Lan had been concealed by some kind of formation diagram. However, with Bian Lan's abilities, even in the worst case scenario, he could protect himself. Moreover, he could see that this person had rushed in voluntarily. This showed that he had sufficient confidence in himself.
However, it was also at this moment that he suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned to look and saw a tall Taoist with a refreshing expression standing there.
Luo Chengfeng trembled all over and said, "Chen, Senior Brother Chen …"
Zhang Yu looked over and his eyes flashed slightly. This person's face could be said to be exactly the same as the figure in the Military Affairs Department's document. He waved his sleeve and sent Luo Chengfeng into the Ying Star Square Sky Hut. Then, he walked out of the cave and stood on the ground. He said, "Chen Qianding?"
The Taoist replied, "It's me."
Zhang Yu looked at him and asked again, "Chen Qianding?"
Chen Qianding nodded and said, "It's me."
Although this question and answer were similar, the meaning behind it was different. The first question was only to confirm the person's identity. The second question was to ask about his true origin. However, he received an accurate answer.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "I heard from Taoist Bian that you died in battle 30 years ago."
Chen Qianding said, "There's a mystery behind it that he doesn't know."
Zhang Yu asked, "Were you the one who refined Imperial Patrol Officer Ding into a Taoist pawn?"
Chen Qianding admitted generously, "It was indeed my plan. In fact, I didn't intend to deal with him back then. However, he was really too much of a hindrance. Since he hindered my cultivation, I naturally had to get rid of him."
Zhang Yu said, "As a disciple of Xuan Zun, you have a bright future ahead of you. Why did you collude with Shangchen's Taoist cultivators?"
Chen Qianding smiled faintly and said, "A disciple of Xuan Zun may not have a bright future. Imperial Patrol Officer Zhang, at your level, don't you know that if you continue to advance, the methods of your predecessors will be difficult to follow? Only by developing the methods yourself can you achieve the Dao. What I seek is precisely what my Master can't give me. "
Zhang Yu sensed a stubborn will from his Qi. For someone like him, the Dao was the only thing. He didn't need to care about anything else.
Therefore, he didn't argue with this person. He only said, "I've been thinking all this time. With Imperial Patrol Officer Ding's achievements, why would he lose to you for no reason?"
Chen Qianding looked at him and said calmly, "Imperial Patrol Officer Zhang, you'll see for yourself in a moment."
Zhang Yu didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and slowly grasped the hilt of the Shocking Heaven Sword.
Chen Qianding stood motionless, but the Qi on his body spread out. At this moment, the area around the two of them suddenly changed. It was no longer a desolate planet, but an open land near the sea. Thunder clouds rumbled and rolled above, and lightning flashed chaotically. Outside the land, there was an endless torrent of water that could rush ashore at any time.
At this moment, Chen Qianding stretched out his hand and pointed at him from afar.
Zhang Yu instantly felt a powerful force of Heart's Light rushing towards him. He stood where he was and didn't move. The Heart's Light outside his body was released, blocking this force of impact.
Boom!
The powerful collision between the two forces caused the large hood on his body to sway a few times, as if a strong wind had blown past. However, despite the fact that the two forces had collided, nothing in the surroundings was affected at all.
This meant that the two of them not only had a great and wide grasp of their powers, but also a fine and subtle one. Chen Qianding's power landed on his body without the slightest bit leaking out, and he blocked it all without the slightest bit leaking out.
However, Zhang Yu could sense that this force of impact was somewhat familiar to him. It seemed to be a technique that Bian Lan had previously displayed, but it was also somewhat similar.
After this force of impact passed, another black shadow followed closely behind and pressed down. He immediately felt as if he was being dragged to his original spot. This force was even more strange. It seemed to be a technique that Luo Chengfeng had used during his battle with him.
But he was well aware that Luo Chengfeng had been restrained by his Heart's Light and had been sent to the Square Sky Hut. Without his permission, it was impossible for Luo Chengfeng to escape. Thus, this should be a technique that Luo Chengfeng had used.
He naturally wouldn't just endure the attack and not fight back. With a thought, the Cicada Cry Sword emitted a clear cry and shot forward, easily piercing through Chen Qianding's body. His sword also transmitted back a feeling that it had pierced through Chen Qianding, but nothing in the surroundings changed. This meant that this sword strike had not succeeded.
This feeling was even more familiar.
His heart stirred. "This is … Chaotic Separation?"
But he immediately rejected this idea. Chaotic Separation was a sword that gave birth to a spirit. It was a Daoist cultivator who resonated with the sword, manifesting after their essence, energy, and spirit were highly integrated. Luo Chengfeng might be able to use the same Daoist technique, but it was impossible for him to learn it. This was only a similar supernatural ability.
And looking at the surrounding mountains, rivers, seas, and land, everything was extremely real. With the strength of a single person, it was impossible for them to create such a scene. He thought of the bright light he saw on the shrine platform and suddenly had a feeling that he had fallen into an array formation.
Luo Chengfeng should have combined his Heart's Light with the array formation to create such a scene.
His eyes flashed. This sort of arrangement could indeed pose a certain threat to him. But just like how he had sensed that the sword in Ding Xuanping's hand was unfavorable, in his opinion, there was also a flaw here that couldn't be considered a flaw.
Any array formation needed to bear the weight of the Earth Pulse's energy. What if this weight didn't exist?
As he thought of this, purple light suddenly flew out from his body. The Purple Star Sand instantly surrounded him. Then, he clenched his five fingers. With a bang, the Heart's Light on his body suddenly soared.
And then …
He punched the Earth Star beneath his feet!
