Zhang Yu had heard before that the people of You City liked to collect rare treasures. For example, the Wei Family Army's Longevity Dendrobium was stolen by them. He couldn't help but ask, "What does You City want to do with these things?"
Xu Chengtong said, "There aren't that many rare treasures in the world. Many of them are actually snatching precious medicines and materials under the guise of these treasures to provide for their own cultivation.
You City isn't like Tianxia and Shangchen. You don't have big businesses, there's no Earth Star, and there's no population. The output of You City alone isn't enough for the cultivation of the cultivators below, so we have to think of other ways.
As for the truly precious items, most of them will be used on Mystic Venerable's personal disciples. Ahem, it seems like us deacons and disciples can get a share of the profits. "
Zhang Yu nodded. He understood. It seemed that You City used external plundering to make up for its lack of foundation. No wonder You City not only went against Tianxia, but also had a bad relationship with Shangchen. Sometimes, you even targeted those evil gods.
It seemed that You City wasn't gathered in one place, but scattered among the various constellations. There was a reason for that.
Xu Chengtong said, "But I also heard that the powerful people above are also looking for something. I don't know what it is. Maybe Zhan Ziji knows something …"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "I once heard that You City has an eye seal. Is that true?"
Xu Chengtong said, "There is indeed such a rumor. It's said that You City relies on this to see all things and distinguish between good and bad. But even if there is such a thing, it's in the main city. People like us in the branch cities can't enjoy these benefits unless we accumulate enough merit and are transferred to the main city to cultivate.
For example, Zhan Ziji was originally going to be transferred to the main city in half a year. However, there was suddenly news that the Patrol Protector had a Dao Seal on him. When the higher-ups found out about this, they suppressed it and told him to find a way to capture the Patrol Protector and find out where the Dao Seal was. If he couldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to go to the main city. He had many complaints about this. "
When Zhang Yu heard up to here, he suddenly recalled that before Zhan Ziji died, he clearly still had a trace of strength left, yet he didn't dissolve his own Star Pouch, and instead left it behind. From the looks of it, did he have the same thoughts as Daoist Yue?
Thinking up to here, he took the Star Bag. His consciousness entered it, and looked through the things inside. However, he didn't take them out. After a moment of consideration, he put the bag back into his sleeve.
In the blink of an eye, the white boat had already returned to You City.
The encirclement of the Guard Army was still ongoing. The people of You City didn't have the heart to continue fighting. Everyone only wanted to escape, and didn't care about the other fellow Daoists. The scene was very ugly.
He didn't compete with these soldiers for merit. He continued to urge the white boat towards You City.
However, at this time, a flying boat of the Guard Army approached. Light flickered on it, and then a Daoist flew out from it and came towards the white boat.
Zhang Yu saw that this was a signal to come on board. He opened the cabin door and let the Daoist come up.
This Daoist came to the main cabin, and saluted with his hands folded. He said, "Patrol Protector, I'm Yu Buhang, a guarding cultivator of the Back Army. I'm here to pay my respects to the Patrol Protector under the orders of Lieutenant Li."
Zhang Yu nodded and returned the salute. "Fellow Daoist Yu, please speak your mind."
Yu Buhang said, "The army is chasing after the cultivators of You City. However, the restriction formation of You City is still in place. A portion of people have retreated and are hiding inside. We can't enter at the moment. Since the Patrol Protector can freely enter and exit this place, Lieutenant Li wants to ask if the Patrol Protector can destroy the formation's pivot from the inside and get rid of this restriction formation."
Zhang Yu looked at Xu Chengtong and said, "Deacon Xu, do you know where the formation pivot is?"
Xu Chengtong hurriedly replied, "There is indeed a formation pivot in the city. However, the most important part is controlled by Zhan Ziji. Although I also control a part of it, I don't know if Zhan Ziji has secretly tampered with it."
Zhang Yu said to Yu Buhang, "Fellow Daoist Yu, I'll try my best. If I can't, I'll have to ask Xuan Zun to help."
That Daoist cupped his hands and thanked him. "I'll have to trouble the Patrol Protector."
Zhang Yu said, "You're welcome. I still have to thank you for coming to my aid."
After sending Daoist Yu off, the white boat continued forward. With the help of Xuan Zun's talisman, he once again smoothly entered You City without any obstructions.
When the cultivators of You City saw the white boat rushing in, they initially wanted to stop it. However, Zhang Yu blasted a wave of Profound Weapons at them without holding back. They immediately scattered and fled in all directions. Not a single person came forward to stop them.
At this time, Xu Chengtong pointed ahead and said, "Patrol Protector, go in that direction. That's the path to the formation pivot."
Zhang Yu raised his head and saw a path above that allowed the flying boat to enter and exit. He steered the flying boat and directly went in.
After traveling for a short distance, there were continuous sounds of explosions coming from the surroundings. It could be seen that the walls of You City were constantly shaking. He knew that the Profound Weapons that he had previously buried in the surroundings were exploding.
He originally thought that it would take a long time to settle the matter here. At that time, he could use these to disrupt the situation. However, he didn't expect that You City would be so easily broken through. Now, he could only listen to some movements.
Actually, with Zhan Ziji's strength, if he used his abilities to tangle with him from the start and the others assisted him from the side, it wouldn't be that easy for him to win. A fierce battle would be unavoidable.
Even if he had a treasure to protect himself, he might be able to protect himself. However, Xu Chengtong might not.
The path ahead wasn't straight. There were twists and turns, and there were also many forks in it. It was extremely complicated. Under Xu Chengtong's guidance, the white boat slowed down for half an hour before a suspended platform appeared in front of them.
Xu Chengtong said, "Patrol Officer, there are restrictions here. We need to disembark and walk."
Zhang Yu nodded and disembarked from the flying boat. Then, with a wave of his hand, the white boat turned into a streak of white light and fell into his Star Pouch. He and Xu Chengtong stepped onto the platform. After walking a hundred or so steps, the path ahead was empty, cut off here.
Xu Chengtong pointed at a certain place, and said, "Patrol Officer, it's here. Whether it's the formation pivot or the storehouse, they're all inside here."
Zhang Yu looked over. There was a huge empty space ahead. Judging from its position, it should be the center of the entire You City. A tall palace hall floated there. It was entirely the color of gold and copper. Under the illumination of the light above, it emitted a dazzling radiance. Meanwhile, the bottom of the palace hall was surrounded by clusters of auspicious clouds.
However, there were bolts of lightning swimming around in the surroundings, faintly forming the shape of a dragon. The huge figure floated inside, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing.
Xu Chengtong stretched out his hand and grabbed a large piece of stone from thin air. Then, he tossed it out. However, the thunder dragon moved its body, and the stone wall was shattered into pieces. The rumbling sound shook the entire place.
He said, "The formation tablet of this restriction is just opposite. In the past, Xuan Ziji had always gone over first before we could pass through. Now, I can't go over either. However, since Patrol Officer Zhang can pass through the restriction outside the city, I'm sure you can pass through here without any problems."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "Patrol Officer Xu, you stay here for now."
He took a step forward and walked directly into that empty space. However, the thunder dragon did not pay him any attention at all. Obviously, the talisman that Xuan Zun had given him was still useful. Then, his figure flashed, and he successfully stepped onto the steps of that copper palace hall.
When he arrived here, he took another ten or so steps forward, and saw a jade tablet that was half the height of a person. He guessed that this was the formation tablet.
He glanced at it for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pressed on it. Just as he poured his heart force into it, he felt a vast rebound force. Moreover, this rebound force was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was affecting the entire Heaven City's restriction formation.
He thought for a moment, then moved his hand away. He walked two steps around the formation tablet. Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. Then, he saw a blurry figure appear here. The figure drew a few lines on the stone tablet, then pressed on it. After doing all this, the figure twisted a few times, then disappeared.
After Zhang Yu saw it, he thought for a moment. Then, he followed the same method and drew a few lines. He raised his hand and pressed on the stone tablet again.
This method worked a little. However, although the rebound force was still there, it was not as strong as the previous time. It also did not affect the entire You City's formation.
This time, he did not withdraw his hand. His heart force pressed down again. With a boom, the thunder dragon outside flickered a few times, then disappeared. This was him forcefully using his heart force to resist a portion of the formation's power, causing the force outside to weaken to the minimum.
At this moment, he said, "Deacon Xu, please come in."
Hearing the call, Xu Chengtong did not dare to delay. His figure flashed, and he had already crossed the sky and stepped into the copper palace.
Only then did Zhang Yu withdraw his hand. As he withdrew his heart force, the formation's power surged again. Lightning flashed a few times outside, and the thunder dragon reappeared.
He did not pay any more attention to it. Instead, he turned his head to look. After the formation tablet, what appeared before them was a tall copper palace door.
Xu Chengtong said, "Patrol Master, behind this door is the storehouse. The formation's pivot is also there. I have not been here many times before. Zhan Ziji usually uses a jade talisman to enter and leave. However, we can use our Dark Weapons to blast it open. The things inside are all protected, so there is no need to worry about damage. "
At this moment, Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then took out a jade talisman from the star bag left behind by Zhan Ziji. He said, "Is this the thing?"
Xu Chengtong glanced at it a few times, and said happily, "Patrol Master, it is this."
Zhang Yu nodded, and handed it over. He said, "Deacon Xu, go and open the door."
Xu Chengtong responded, and received the talisman. He walked forward, and placed it into one of the grooves. After a short while, a hollow sound was heard.
The copper door in front of them swayed a little. It first rotated once, and then slid out in all directions. A long metal cabin path was revealed inside, and there were several metal doors behind it. At this moment, they were also opening one after another.
With so many doors, if they directly used their Dark Weapons to blast them open, it was unknown how long it would take.
When all the doors were opened, there was a boom, and then there was no more movement.
Xu Chengtong removed the jade talisman, and respectfully handed it back. He said, "Patrol Master, we can pass now."
Zhang Yu received it, and stepped inside. Xu Chengtong also hurriedly followed. However, they had not walked far when the metal door behind them that was originally open closed with a boom.
