After Zhang Yu waited for the sword light to fly away, he waited at the foot of the mountain. Not long after, the Cicada Cry Sword flew back. With a clang, it returned to his scabbard. With a flick of his sleeves, he walked up the mountain.
There should have been many priests and temple guards here, but now there was no movement at all. When he stepped into the temple, only broken limbs and broken bodies were left.
In just a short while, all of the Evil God's descendants and priests were killed by the flying sword he released.
Although he was only a projection of power now and only had the ability of the second chapter, he was able to fully utilize his abilities after completing the six core seals. Those who were weaker than him only needed to use his flying sword to casually kill them.
At this moment, he looked up and saw two statues at the end of the temple.
One was an unfinished giant statue of the Evil God. It was tall and its body was almost carved out. Only the head was left blank. Obviously, it was prepared to be carved.
The other statue was slightly smaller. It was the image of a valiant man wearing a crown of antlers. His eyes looked sinister, and the statue looked a bit old. It seemed that the believers here had brought it here from somewhere else for daily worship.
Just as he was about to walk up, the ancient statue suddenly seemed to come alive. It opened its eyes and looked at him. Then, a rumbling voice sounded in the temple.
"People of Tianxia, or should I say, God of Tianxia, if you immediately retreat from my altar, then I can forgive you for killing my priests and descendants. If you are not willing to comply, then my descendants will continue to hunt you down. I will also cast an unforgivable curse on you."
Zhang Yu did not pay any attention to them. What forgiveness? If it were not for the fact that these Evil Gods had no other choice, they would not make such a compromise. And no matter what they said, he would not change the purpose of this trip. Thus, he continued to walk forward.
The Evil God clearly saw that he was unwilling to compromise and his eyes flashed red.
Zhang Yu immediately felt a cold aura seeping into his body. He inexplicably understood that from now on, no matter where he went, as long as this Evil God's descendant existed, these people would be attracted and attack him crazily.
However, he did not care. Not to mention whether these Evil God's descendants could do anything to him, even if this projection of power was destroyed, he would not be harmed. As for the pursuit, if they had the ability, they could chase him all the way to Tianxia.
At this moment, he had already walked up to the statue and pressed his hand on its head.
This action seemed to have angered the Evil God. The temple around him shook and rumbled as if it would collapse at any moment.
Zhang Yu was unmoved. When he put his hand on it, he felt a rolling heat flow into his body. In just a breath, cracks appeared on the statue. after a while, it turned into a pile of rubble and collapsed.
The fine electric light in his eyes flickered for a moment before it disappeared. Then, he left without looking back.
In the following days, he swept through the Evil God's temples and altars. Those Evil God's descendants also tried to encircle him under the pressure of the Oracle, but it was useless except for a few more heads.
After nearly a hundred days, he dispersed the projection of power and woke up in the quiet room.
At this moment, he felt for a moment and found that the curse power given by the Evil God was still there.
He did not care too much about it. For such a power that was beyond his level, he could ask Xuanting to help him get rid of it.
He got up and went to the outer room. He saw that the stage was piled with letters and cards, most of them were New Year's gift lists and messages from his fellow Evil God.
It was now the end of December, and the New Year was three days away. This was also the first New Year since he came to the outer layer.
However, the outer layer was different from the inner layer. Everything in the outer layer was for war. In the past, the Evil God and Shangchen cultivators would often take advantage of the New Year to attack, so every time this happened, they would be more alert.
It was also because of this that people mainly celebrated with each other and did not have any banquets.
Fortunately, the Military Affairs Department also compensated for this. Every person who was on duty during the New Year would accumulate a rank in the merit book.
In the pile of letters, there was a reply from Bian Lan, saying that Liang Yi had gone to another constellation to visit his fellow Evil God. If he came back, he would inform him in time.
In addition, Nangong Shu also sent a letter. In the letter, he mentioned that he had been keeping an eye on the Military Affairs Department, but until now, he had not found anything special.
However, when he read the letter, he felt that something was wrong. His eyes flashed slightly, and he found that the problem was with the handwriting.
Although the handwriting of cultivators had different styles, the strokes were usually smooth like flowing water. However, the lines of words in front of him were a little stiff, and he felt that the breath when the strokes were written was very unnatural.
He thought for a long time, then went to the rooftop and flew into the sky. A moment later, he arrived at Heaven City.
After announcing his arrival, he was invited into the Department's hall.
When Hong Yuanqiu heard of his arrival, he put down his work and came out to welcome him. After greeting him and inviting him to take a seat, he said, "Inspector Zhang, you have contributed greatly to the success of the war. I have reported the details of the war truthfully, and I believe that Xuanting will assess your merits in a while."
Zhang Yu expressed his thanks and said, "I came here today because a fellow Daoist mentioned to me a few days ago that the Military Affairs Department is preparing to change the armaments of the entire army. I wonder if this is true?"
Hong Yuanqiu said, "I didn't expect this to alarm the Inspector. In fact, this is not my Kui Su's doing. In order to cope with the increasingly intense war and to increase the combat strength of the soldiers, many military departments are also changing their armaments. However, out of caution, I will not change all the armaments. "
Hong Yuanqiu shook his head and said, "Even if I wanted to, I can't do it now. After the mobilization of the army this time, the Military Affairs Department has spent a lot of money, and we can't fork out such a large sum for the time being."
Zhang Yu said, "How to choose is the matter of the Military Affairs Department. I have no right to interfere. However, I came from the Qingyang Upper Continent and know the use of creation. There are pros and cons. Therefore, I would like to remind Chief Hong to be cautious about this matter."
Hong Yuanqiu said with a serious expression, "You are right, Inspector."
He paused for a moment and said, "I am not completely unprepared. I am now asking Master Craftsman Wu to copy those creations, so that they can be substituted at such a crucial time and won't be manipulated by others."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Master Craftsman Wu and I are old acquaintances. His character and skills are trustworthy." He said again, "Since Chief Hong has a plan, I won't say anything more. Sorry for disturbing you today."
Hong Yuanqiu hesitated for a moment.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Is there anything else, Chief Hong?"
Hong Yuanqiu said, "Recently, the lower continent discovered an entrance to the inner layer in the north. I have sent people to check it out, but for some reason, they couldn't seal it off.
This kind of place can easily attract the attention of Shangchen's cultivators, and it won't be good to guard it for a long time. If it is convenient for you, Inspector, can you go and check it out? If it is really impossible, then I will have to ask Xuan Zun to do it. "
Zhang Yu asked and found out that this place was not far from Ye Ya Prefecture.
The defense of the outer layer was mainly to cut off internal and external traffic and seal off these entrances, so this was not a small matter. He immediately said, "I will go and check it out later."
Hong Yuanqiu saluted and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Inspector."
Zhang Yu bowed and left the office. He did not leave immediately. Instead, he used the courier of the Military Affairs Department to send a letter to Nangong Shu. He said that he wanted to meet Nangong Shu and that he would be waiting for him in Tanquan City.
After the letter was sent out, it quickly fell into the hands of the Taoist in black. After reading the contents of the letter, he could not help but feel a little flustered. Hence, he went to the old Taoist with the surname Li again and asked, "Mr. Li, Governor Zhang wants to meet Nangong Shu. Did he notice something wrong? What should I do?"
The old Taoist pondered for a moment and said, "Don't go and arouse suspicion. Just go and meet him."
The black-clothed Taoist said uneasily, "I'm afraid that he will notice something wrong."
The old Taoist said, "We can't hide from him. Just let Nangong Shu meet him. Once the thing is in his hands, he won't have the heart to look for us."
At this moment, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to the old Taoist. He said, "I've asked for this from my superiors. It can cover the strange traces on Nangong Shu so that he won't notice anything wrong."
The black-clothed Taoist was overjoyed. He took it and said, "That's good."
At this moment, in a hidden flying boat outside Yeya State, Master Yong was leading his disciples and bowed to Xu Chengtong who came in from outside.
Xu Chengtong glanced at him and said, "You must be Master Yong?"
Master Yong hurriedly said, "I dare not. I dare not call myself master in front of Deacon Xu."
Xu Chengtong said, "Then I'll call you Fellow Taoist Yong. I've been ordered by the chief to take over the task of capturing Zhang Yu. You've been following orders to observe Inspector Zhang here. Did you find anything useful?"
His prediction came true. With the death of Taoist Yue, the task of dealing with Zhang Yu fell to him. Now, he was having a headache because of it.
Master Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Deacon Xu, it's not that I refuse, but that person's cultivation is excellent. Every time we see when he goes out to visit Taoism and when he comes back. I'm afraid that we'll be discovered by this person.
Maybe this person has already noticed it, but he doesn't care about us. It's too difficult for us to find anything. "
Xu Chengtong snorted and stared at him. He said, "It's indeed difficult for you. But if you can't see anything, what's the use of having you? Don't you think so? "
Master Yong sighed. He looked at him. He said, "If Deacon Xu has any plans … Then just say it. We will do as you say."
Xu Chengtong saw his attitude and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "I've already thought about it. We might as well do this …" As he spoke, he sent a message to Master Yong.
After Master Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He said, "This, this …"
Xu Chengtong looked at him and said, "Master Yong, do you think there's something wrong?"
Master Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing. I'll listen to Deacon Xu's arrangements."
