The Daoist man frowned. Creatures from the inner layer came to the outer layer through the passage. This was something that would happen occasionally. However, it happened before he could finish his sentence. It seemed to be deliberately targeting him, which made him feel rather depressed.
At this moment, everyone present was staring at the ball of mist in front of them. They were prepared to take down the intruder when he came out.
However, for some reason, when the creature was about to come out, it suddenly stopped. After a while, the turbulence in the mist disappeared. It was obvious that the other party had left and returned to the inner layer.
The armored soldier who walked in with them asked, "Upper cultivators, what's going on?"
Shi Yanxin said, "The intruder must have returned."
The Daoist man frowned. The other cultivators also looked solemn.
This was what they hated the most.
As long as there was a slight fluctuation in the entrance to the inner layer, it would prolong the time it took to disappear. It was fine if the problem was in the outer layer, but if it was in the inner layer, it would be very difficult for them to deal with it.
Judging from the other party's behavior just now, it might be an intelligent creature. Next time, it might come to test them again. At that time, it might not be alone. It might even bring more companions with it.
Zhang Yu said at this time, "The intruder must have spiritual power."
The armored soldier turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Inspector Zhang, are you sure?" If it was a spiritual creature, the trouble it would bring would be a thousand times more troublesome than ordinary creatures.
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "That's what I sensed."
Shi Yanxin thought for a moment and said, "Inspector Zhang's mana is profound and his Dao is brilliant. He can't be wrong. The best way now is to send someone to the opposite side to guard the entrance. Otherwise, it will be difficult to seal this place."
The Daoist man refuted, "That's not right. If this is an occasional situation, then if we send someone over, won't it cause further turbulence in the entrance?
If this place expands into a place that won't disappear for a long time, then Kui Su will have to bear more attacks from Shangchen. I think we should wait and see … "
When he said this, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
As if it was going against him, the ball of mist appeared again.
However, after standing there for a while, the other party seemed to have the intention to retreat and retreated again.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. He reached out his hand and the mist shook. Then, a grey-skinned figure wearing animal skin fell to the ground.
This person was a bit short and frail. His eyes were big and protruding, and the hair on his head was sparse. His skin was also grayish-white, and it was obvious that he was a native. However, his entire body was dripping wet, and after lying there for a while, his lower body was covered in water stains.
At this moment, he was looking at everyone with a terrified gaze.
Shi Yanxin calmly glanced at the native, who immediately froze on the spot with lifeless eyes.
After a while, Shi Yanxin said, "This is a native priest. He fell into the water while avoiding the attack of a group of beasts and accidentally entered this place. At first, he only wanted to return to the surface as soon as possible. After returning to the shore, he thought that he had found the entrance to the divine kingdom of the god he worshipped, so he dived into the water again to investigate."
When everyone heard that it was just an accident, they couldn't help but relax.
At this moment, the Daoist looked at Zhang Yu and asked in a reproachful tone, "Protector Zhang, why did you capture him just now? You have to know that doing so will very likely cause a greater disturbance in this door. "
Zhang Yu calmly said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Although I took action, I knew what I was doing. This door will only exist for a month at most."
The Daoist solemnly said, "Even so, you can't take the risk. Sometimes, you have to be careful. If this door is fixed, what will Protector Zhang do?"
Zhang Yu calmly said, "If that's really the case, I will ask Xuan Zun to take action and seal this door."
The Daoist immediately choked. He glanced at Zhang Yu and angrily said, "Alright, I hope Protector Zhang will do as you say." He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
At this moment, the armored soldier waved his hand and ordered his men to drag the unconscious native away. He also cupped his fists and left.
At this moment, Shi Yanxin said, "Fellow Daoist Zhong's temper isn't good. I hope Protector Zhang won't take it to heart."
Zhang Yu asked, "May I know where this fellow Daoist came from?"
Shi Yanxin said, "This person came from the inner layer not long ago. He was invited from the inner layer by the Military Affairs Department. He is really talented. He is only thirty years old and has already cultivated the Primordial Soul Reflection. It is inevitable that he is a little arrogant.
However, since he was ten years old, he has always been in seclusion in his sect. He has always had little contact with outsiders. Therefore, he is somewhat ignorant of the ways of the world. Previously, he made a judgment that this door will exist for about a year. However, Protector Zhang said that it will only be half a year. He is probably not convinced, which is why he is competing with Protector Zhang. "
Zhang Yu had no intention of arguing with this person. He said, "After this, I will tell Department Head Hong the truth. If the door is not sealed, I will look for Dai Xuan Zun to resolve this matter."
Shi Yanxin did not say anything more. Solemnly, he raised his sleeves and bowed to him.
After Zhang Yu bid farewell to him, he was led out of the formation by a Daoist cultivator. When he reached the outer layer, he immediately flew into the air. Because this place was not far from Ye Ya Prefecture, he flew for less than half an hour and returned to his residence.
He landed on the rooftop and looked at the time dial. In one more day, it would be the new year of the 380th year of the Great Xuan Calendar.
He thought for a moment, then called Li Qinghe up and said, "Qinghe, go and see if Fellow Daoist Zuo and the others have returned. If they have, invite them to my place for a banquet."
Li Qinghe obeyed and left.
Zhang Yu came down from the rooftop and returned to the study. He saw a jade letter box on the table. He thought that it was a New Year's letter sent by a Daoist, but when he opened it, he was slightly surprised by the identity of the person who sent the letter.
The person claimed to be from You City. He said that he would be waiting somewhere outside Ye Ya Prefecture before New Year's Eve and wanted to meet him.
His eyes flashed slightly. He reached out and took the Shocking Heaven Sword in his hand. Then, he stepped out of the platform. With a tap of his foot, he rode a green rainbow to the agreed place.
In just a dozen or so breaths, he landed on a snow-covered high hill to the west of Ye Ya Province.
Not long after, he felt something. He looked up and saw a cloud flying in the sky. When it reached the high hill, the cloud separated. A middle-aged Daoist in a golden Daoist robe floated down. After he landed, he cupped his hands and said, "Governor Zhang, I am Xu Chengtong, You City's Deacon."
Zhang Yu glanced at him. Because of the booklet left by Daoist Yue, although he had never met this person, he recognized him as soon as he came up.
He also bowed and said, "Your side and my Tianxia are enemies. Deacon Xu, are you not afraid that I will take you down?"
Xu Chengtong smiled and said, "Since I am here, I am ready to escape. But before Governor Zhang makes a move, why don't you listen to me first?"
Zhang Yu looked at him, as if waiting for him to continue.
Xu Chengtong said, "You City is looking for Governor Zhang because you may have a Daoist seal on you. I am afraid you don't know how important this is to You City. As long as there is a possibility, the higher-ups will not give up. Even without me, there will be others who will look for Governor Zhang."
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "To be honest, I have nothing to ask for, and I don't want to be enemies with Governor Zhang. But since the higher-ups have ordered me to do so, even if I am unwilling, I can only come here."
In fact, he was telling Zhang Yu that he did not want to risk his life for this. He could not resist the pressure from the higher-ups, so he was forced to come here.
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Are you done talking?"
Xu Chengtong looked at him and secretly prepared to escape. He said, "I'm done."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a sharp sword light slashing towards him. He hurriedly activated his defensive artifact, but a thin golden tile appeared and covered the front of him.
He had already thought about it. He planned to exchange a few moves and then immediately retreat. That would be an explanation to You City.
His thinking was very good. If Zhang Yu did not understand him, then in a situation where he only wanted to defend and escape, there was indeed a possibility that he would be able to escape.
But he definitely did not expect that Daoist Yue had already sold all the magical powers he knew in the small booklet.
What's more, the current Zhang Yu was different from when he fought with Daoist Yue. When the sword slashed, the blade flashed slightly. Under the sword light, the golden tile was cut in half. It could not block it at all.
Xu Chengtong knew that Zhang Yu's swordsmanship was sharp and fast, so in order to smoothly escape this time, he had a total of three defensive artifacts on him. So at this moment, after the first artifact was broken, a blood-red mist immediately floated out from his body. However, when the sword light fell, it did not stop and directly cut through the blood-red mist!
Because the sword light was too fast, in the situation where the third artifact was not activated at all, the sword had already cut above his head!
What was extremely strange was that when the sword light reached this step, it did not directly cut his head. Instead, it suddenly stopped. It looked like the tip of the sword fell and gently touched the space between his eyebrows.
This sword went from extremely fast to extremely fast, from extremely hard to extremely soft. The change was abnormally natural and there was no sense of abruptness. It could be said to be miraculous.
After being hit by this attack, Xu Chengtong's body trembled violently a few times as if he had been struck by lightning. The spiritual power in his body receded. At this moment, there were two explosions and a dazzling light burst out from his body. It was the artifact that was cut in half by the sword light just now, and only now did it make a cracking sound.
He stood there in a daze for a moment, then his body fell straight from the air and fell to the ground with a thud. His entire body sank into the snow below.
Zhang Yu stood in the air with his sword and looked up at the sky. There was a faintly discernible flying boat that was flying away.
He stood there without moving. The Cicada Sword behind him suddenly turned into a stream of light and flew into the clouds.
A moment later, a muffled thunder came from the thick clouds. Then, a flying boat fell from the sky with billowing smoke and fire, crashing to the ground with a loud bang!
