Zhang Yu looked at the shining Great Way of the Profound Seal. The words "Yuan Xiang" appeared on the newly formed seal.
One of the ways to defend was to "defend", and the other was to "change". If there was defense without change, it would be inflexible. If there was change without rules, there would be no foundation. Only by combining the two could one deal with most situations.
For example, his "Easy Slough" technique was also used for defense, but it mainly relied on change to win.
However, there was a high requirement for timing. If he was not careful, he would be seeking his own death. However, if he used it well, he could turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment.
The "Yuan Xiang" seal was formed by combining the strengths of these two.
However, this seal was the same as the previous ones. Even if he had created it now, he still needed to perfect it.
With a thought, he kept the Great Way of the Profound Seal. After adjusting his breathing, he walked out of the quiet room and into the study.
He saw a few exquisite tickets on the desk. After flipping through the letters, he realized that they were tickets for the theater sent by the Ye Ya State Military Department.
Because of the incident in Tian City, his identity as a Patrol Officer was now known by all. If he was a Xuanting Patrol Officer, he might not attract the attention of the State Military Department. However, no one could ignore a Xuanting Patrol Officer who had the authority to judge.
Especially when the Xuan Zun who was guarding Tian City suddenly changed a few days ago. There were even rumors that this had something to do with him, the Xuanting Patrol Officer. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the Military Department did not want to be targeted by him. Therefore, they sent a few tickets over as a gesture of goodwill.
A few tickets did not seem like much. However, in reality, everything in the outer layer was for the sake of war. The people in the outer layer were either preparing for war or in the middle of war. In a remote state like Ye Ya State, there were very few things that could comfort the hearts of the people. Watching dances and songs was one of the most popular. Usually, it was hard to get a ticket.
He looked at the date on the ticket. It was two days later.
A thought flashed through his mind. The path of cultivation also required both tension and relaxation. He had long heard of the dance music and songs in the outer layer, but he had never really seen it. When the time came, he could go and take a look.
Keeping the ticket, he walked up to the rooftop and set up an easel. He looked up at the sky for a moment, then with the brush in his hand, he began to draw the faint outline of Heaven City.
After a long time, Qing Shu walked in and reported with a bow, "Sir, there's someone outside who claims to be from the Golden Pupil Agency looking for you."
By now, Zhang Yu had already sensed her presence. He said, "Invite her in." After giving his instructions, he put down his brush and tidied up a little before coming downstairs.
When he arrived at the hall, he saw a woman who appeared to be in her twenties. Her cheekbones were slightly high, and she was wearing a black robe with golden eyes embroidered on the cuffs. Her complexion was white, and she had a serious expression on her face.
After seeing Zhang Yu, she cupped her hands and bowed, "Governor Zhang, I'm Ning Ying, the supervisor of the Golden Pupil Agency. Greetings."
Zhang Yu nodded in return and invited her to sit down in the hall. Then he said, "Supervisor Ning, what brings you here?"
Ning Ying said seriously, "Governor Zhang, I'm here under the order of the Chief to inform you that recently, I'm afraid that someone wants to harm you. Please be careful."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "May I know who it is? Do you know who it is? " There were many people who wanted to harm him, but if the Golden Pupil Agency specially came to inform him, he believed that the person's origin was not simple.
Ning Ying said, "In the past two days, someone has spread the news that the reason why Governor Zhang is so powerful and valued by Xuanting is because he has a Great Tao Seal in his hand. This rumor came abruptly without any foreshadowing or warning. Therefore, we suspect that someone deliberately made this up to make You City target Governor Zhang."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved and said, "You City?"
Ning Ying said, "Governor Zhang may not know the origin of this place. About seventy years ago, when the Turbid Tide rose in the inner layer, there was a powerful cultivator in Tianxia who left with a part of the Sky City for some unknown purpose. He hid in the depths of the void and built You City.
This city is dominated by cultivators. For some unknown purpose, they have been chasing after all kinds of rare objects and superior magic weapons. However, they are most concerned about the Six Seals of the Great Tao. Once they receive the slightest news, they will immediately go to the door and capture the target at all costs.
Our Golden Pupil Agency has been fighting against You City and is very experienced in dealing with them. We are willing to arrange people around Governor Zhang for protection. Is Governor Zhang willing? "
She was ordered to come here because Zhang Yu did not pursue the Golden Pupil Agency's mistakes last time. Therefore, she was willing to do him a favor.
Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Yu could still sit here perfectly fine after defeating an incarnation of Xuan Zun. No one would believe that there was no force behind him. He might be a disciple of one of the Xuan Zun's disciples. Therefore, this time, the Golden Pupil Agency also took the initiative to come over and express their goodwill.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Although he thought that his cultivation was good, there was no need for him to flaunt his superiority and fight against a big force alone. Since the Golden Pupil Agency was willing to take the initiative to help, he would not refuse.
As for the surveillance of the Golden Pupil Agency, perhaps ordinary people would have scruples. However, as the Governor of Xuanting, he had the protection of the Governor's seal. If he did not want them to see, they would not be able to see.
Ning Ying heard him agree and her spirits were lifted. She said, "If I may ask, will Governor Zhang be going out in the next few days?"
Zhang Yu said, "In two days, I may go to watch the Dance and Music Festival."
Ning Ying thought for a moment and said, "Then I suggest that Governor Zhang's itinerary does not change. People in You City will definitely observe the target in advance and find the target's weakness. After careful preparation, they will make a move. If Governor Zhang goes to watch the opera, you may be able to lure this person out."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then it's decided."
Ning Ying heard him agree and her spirits were lifted. She stood up from her seat and saluted. She said, "Then I will go back and make arrangements. Governor Zhang, you don't have to worry about us. Just do as usual."
Zhang Yu also stood up and returned the salute. He said, "I understand. Rest in peace."
After sending Ning Ying off, he returned to the rooftop to continue painting. Then, he returned to the quiet room to meditate. Two days passed without any disturbances.
On the third day, it started to drizzle. Zhang Yu took Qing Shu on a flying boat and headed to the place where the opera was to be watched.
The Ye Ya Theater was built on the island in the middle of the lake in the Ye Ya State. It was a ring-shaped building covered with a glass dome. The floor was paved with wave-patterned jade. It spread from the hill to the lake outside. From a distance, it looked like it was built with water.
After Zhang Yu arrived, he was immediately respectfully invited to a seat on the sixth floor by the waiter. Then, he sat down.
At this very moment, two Daoist cultivators with large hats covering their faces were seated in another compartment below.
One of the slightly thinner cultivators held a dragon-shaped jade in his hand. When this person saw Zhang Yu's figure, he channeled his mana. Immediately, a visualization diagram in the shape of a bird appeared behind him. The eyes of the visualization diagram flashed with a faint light.
On the other hand, the other Daoist reached out his hand and pressed down. It was as if he had used some sort of technique to immediately conceal the Qi movement on his body.
The cultivator looked at it for a while. He couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. However, he was afraid that Zhang Yu would notice, so he didn't dare to look anymore. He quickly withdrew his gaze.
The other Taoist cultivator asked in a deep voice, "Did you see it?"
The cultivator hesitated and said, "Yes, I saw it, but …"
The other Taoist cultivator said, "No matter what the problem is, let's leave this place first. We don't want to be targeted by the people of the Golden Eye Bureau."
The cultivator nodded in agreement. He used a concealment technique and quickly retreated from a hidden passage. He didn't stay here for long. He took a flying boat and left the Ye Ya State, flying towards the Wilderness.
They didn't go far when a dark cloud suddenly shrouded them from above. The two of them didn't panic and let the Qi take its course.
After a while, the two of them felt the clouds in front of them disperse. An old Taoist cultivator stood in front of them. He wore a brocade robe and a tall crown. He had a slightly white beard that reached his chest. He was handsome and had a very elegant bearing.
The two of them hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Greetings, Master Yong."
Master Yong cupped his hands and returned the greeting. He looked at the skinny cultivator and said, "Mu Xuanxiu, how is it?"
Mu Xuanxiu said with some shame, "Reporting to Master Yong, I didn't gain much from this trip."
Master Yong didn't seem to be disappointed. He said with an amiable attitude, "Well, why don't you tell me in detail?"
Mu Xuanxiu said, "When I looked at this Guardian Zhang, I saw that his entire body was filled with spiritual light. His Qi was perfect. There was no flaw to speak of."
The other Taoist cultivator revealed an expression of disbelief and said, "How is this possible?"
Mu Xuanxiu said, "Yes, I also feel that there is a problem. My generation of Xuanxiu started with six seals. Everyone must have their own strengths and weaknesses. It is impossible for there to be no weaknesses. Therefore, I suspect that other than the Guardian Seal, he might have some other magic tools used to conceal himself."
The Daoist said, "That makes sense. After all, he is the Guardian of Xuanting. It is possible that Xuanting has given him some treasure. However, this way, we won't be able to detect the strength of this person."
However, Master Yong still maintained his calm and said, "It doesn't matter. The two of you have at least found out that this person has a magic treasure protecting him. This is also a gain.
The Daoist asked, "Master, do you have other arrangements?"
Master Yong nodded and said, "Of course there is. Back then, we seized the Longevity Dendrobium from the Wei family's army, but we didn't know that there was another one left in their hands.
We have to think of a way to get this one back as well.
Next month, when the Wei family's army receives the assignment, we will organize people to launch a surprise attack on them. This Guardian Zhang, as a guard, might also make a move. During the battle, even if he has a magic treasure protecting him, there will definitely be Qi leakage. At that time, I am afraid that we will have to rely on the two of you. "
Mu Xuanxiu and the Daoist cultivator looked at each other and said, "We are willing to serve this life!"
