When Chang 'er saw that Daoist Cao wasn't willing to make a move, he agreed and was relieved.
The more he learned about what Zhang Yu had done in the past, the more he knew that this person wasn't easy to deal with. He believed that it would be difficult to deal with this person if he couldn't ask for help from an upper realm master.
However, he also knew that Daoist Cao wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal, so he suggested, "Master Cao, should we deal with the others first and leave this person as the last?"
Daoist Cao thought for a moment and denied, "No, compared to the others, this person is more likely to reach the upper realm. As a Patrol Protector, if something happens to the other Xuanxiu, it might arouse his vigilance. This matter can't be rushed. Let's not make a move for the time being and wait for me to think of a safe way."
He steered the flying boat back to the ground and flipped through the reports related to the Kui Residence on the desk.
Over the years, he had gone back and forth between the inner and outer realms many times and secretly tried to suppress and control many Xuanxiu talents, but he never acted rashly.
He believed that as long as they were still people of the world, he would definitely be able to find a weakness. If he couldn't take them down directly, he would think of other ways.
As he thought, he flipped through the books, hoping to find some clues from them. At this moment, his hand suddenly paused as a piece of news caught his attention.
"Xuan Zun's Dao lecture at the Kui Residence?"
He knocked on the table with his finger, and his eyes shone brightly. He called Chang 'er over and said, "I remember that Yu Xuanzun holds a lecture every year. Did Zhang Yu go to listen to the lecture last year?"
Chang 'er had already found out about Zhang Yu's general whereabouts after he arrived at the Kui Residence. He said without thinking, "Yes, not only did he go, but he also had some conflicts with Yu Chang's disciples. Perhaps the conflict between the two was planted at that time."
This answer wasn't out of Daoist Cao's expectations. As a cultivator who wanted to spy on the upper realm, he most likely wouldn't miss such a thing.
After that, he did not ask any more questions, because he was certain that this person would definitely attend the Xuan Zun Lecture.
He waved his hand and dismissed Chang Er. He turned around and looked at the Heavenly Gate that was not far from Heaven City. His eyes flashed. Since he was going to the Stomach Residence, he would have to pass through the Heavenly Gate on his way back, right?
Inside the white boat, Zhang Yu flicked the jade token on the table, dispersing another formation he had set up.
However, he didn't continue. He suddenly felt as if someone was observing him, and it wasn't just a simple glance, but was detecting his aura.
He had traveled to the various provinces many times and encountered patrolling soldiers and curious people everywhere. There were many people who observed him, but generally speaking, as long as they did not have any special ill intentions, they would not trigger his senses. But once he sensed them, it proved that they had the possibility of threatening him.
He thought for a moment, then asked Xu Chengtong who was standing at the side, "Deacon Xu, what did that Pu Yi say to you just now?"
Xu Chengtong replied truthfully, "Reporting to the Patrol Protector, that Pu Yi said some things that were hostile to Xuanxiu. Actually, the Patrol Protector doesn't need to take it to heart. There were many people like that in the past.
Before I went to You City, the Kui Residence wasn't as harmonious as it is now. There were many conflicts between Zhen and Xuan, and there were also people who were secretly adding fuel to the fire, deliberately instigating them. These people were later dealt with by the Xuanting, and the matter was suppressed. "
Zhang Yu was deep in thought. At this moment, he raised his eyes and saw that the white boat had already passed Tanquan City. With a flick of his sleeve, he put away the jade token. With a thought, the white boat turned and headed north.
Not long after, an encampment in the wilderness appeared on the ground. The white boat arrived in the sky above the encampment and slowly descended, stopping in the open space of the encampment.
This was the place where the disciples of Yu Xuanzun stayed. He had asked about the creation of Liang Yi's report, but he did not receive any response from Liang Yi. Since he was passing by this place on his way out, he decided to drop by and ask.
When the white boat landed, the people inside were naturally alarmed. Bian Lan recognized that it was Zhang Yu, so he came out to welcome him. When Zhang Yu got off the white boat, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "What brings the Patrol Protector here?"
His feelings towards Zhang Yu were actually very complicated. Firstly, Zhang Yu caused their teacher to leave the Kui Residence, and it was very likely that he was punished by the Xuanting. Secondly, he admired Zhang Yu's actions, so he really could not bear any resentment towards him.
After Zhang Yu stood still, he bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Bian, I sent a letter to ask about Liang Daoyou's whereabouts, but you wrote that you did not know where he went. Did Liang Daoyou not even return for the New Year?"
Bian Lan said, "Senior Brother did not return. To be honest, I have not seen Senior Brother for the past few months, so I don't know where he went."
Zhang Yu thought about it. Liang Yi's sudden disappearance was unusual in itself. It was as if he was deliberately avoiding him.
This might not be his own intention, but if it was not, it would be even more problematic. This meant that there was a force controlling him from behind.
He said, "Has Fellow Daoist Shen been promoting the creation of things here?"
Bian Lan sighed and said, "There is such a thing. Senior Brother Liang has always believed that the Observer can help us cultivate better. Some Senior Brothers have accepted Senior Brother Liang's words, and they have also gained some benefits in their cultivation. However, I have always thought that this method of relying on the creation of things is not the right way to cultivate."
Zhang Yu said, "Everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages. If we can use it well and know where the limits are, then it can be of help. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world is like Liang Daoyou thinks."
Bian Lan nodded and said, "Patrol Officer is right." He paused, "Senior Brother is not an unintelligent person. Perhaps he has also thought of it, but he wants to change the people who can be changed first."
Zhang Yu said, "This time I am just passing by. Since Liang Daoyou is not here, then I will not stay for long. When Liang Daoyou comes back, remember to ask him to send a letter to me."
Bian Lan raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Even if Senior Brother forgets, I will send a letter to inform Patrol Officer. However …" He thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "In another month or so, there will be a Xuan Zun preaching in the stomach. Based on my understanding of Senior Brother, he might go there."
Zhang Yu looked at him and nodded. Then, he cupped his hands and bid farewell to Bian Lan. He turned and returned to the white boat. This time, he did not stop at all and directly drove the boat back to Ye Ya State.
When he returned to his residence, he remembered that someone was spying on him, so he went to the study and wrote a letter to Yu Ruiqing. He wrote that he would definitely go to the preaching, but he was not sure of the date. Yu Ruiqing could go first and did not need to wait for him.
After he handed the letter to Li Qinghe to mail, he spent his days cultivating and absorbing Origin Energy. When he was free, he would study formations. In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
At this time, he saw that the preaching was approaching. He took Qing Shu and Xu Chengtong, boarded the white boat, and set off for the stomach.
The Seven Constellations of the Western Sky Heavens all had Heavenly Gates. There was more than one Heavenly Gate. This time, he did not use the one that Chang Qi used. Instead, he used the Heavenly Gate used by the Heaven City Army.
After entering the Heavenly Gate, Zhang Yu stood in the main cabin and looked at the colorful light ribbons that floated by. He said, "Deacon Xu, is there a You City in the stomach?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Reporting to the patrol, in the Western Sky Heavens, there might be a You City in the Constellation of Ginseng. The stomach does not occupy many planets, and the main planet itself is not a good place. There are even fewer rare treasures, so You City does not exist."
As he spoke, the light ribbons in front of him gradually disappeared. Countless swirling clouds and mist vortexes appeared. The white boat shook slightly and passed through the Heavenly Gate.
At the same time, a light gray Earth Star appeared in his field of vision. It was not its original color, but a layer of dust that covered the Earth Star.
In the sky above the Earth Star, there was a huge Heaven City floating. Like the Constellation of Kui Heaven City, there were also many small palaces floating around it. It could be seen that there was an endless stream of flying boats between the Earth Star and Heaven City.
Zhang Yu saw that many of them were not military flying boats, but civilian ones. From this, it could be seen that the Constellation of Stomach was not as heavily guarded as the Constellation of Kui Heaven City.
The place where Xuan Zun preached was in the central prefecture of the Constellation of Stomach, Feng Ping Prefecture. This place was very easy to recognize. It was right below Heaven City. He was about to urge the white boat to go up to the Earth Star when he saw a shuttle-shaped patrol boat suddenly fly over and block their way. The cabin door opened and two armored soldiers came down from the flying boat and flew towards them.
Zhang Yu took a look. He could see that the outer armor of these soldiers looked quite bright. There was also a layer of military uniform on the outside that isolated the evil from the void.
He had heard before that the Constellation of Stomach had the most creation workshops in the entire Western Sky Heavens. Its acceptance of creations was also the highest. Now, it seemed that it was because of this that its armaments were slightly better than the Constellation of Kui.
He said, "These two people are probably here to check on our identities. Qing Shu, go talk to them."
Qing Shu nodded. A light flashed between his brows and he instantly turned into a metal giant. He went out from the hole in the white boat and met the two soldiers. After some negotiation, he returned to the white boat and clasped his fist, "Sir, I've already talked to them. They said that it was their duty to stop you just now. I hope you won't blame them."
Zhang Yu nodded. He took another look at the Constellation of Stomach that seemed not far away. He then urged the flying boat to fly towards the Earth Star below.
As the surging grey dust in front of them was knocked away, the appearance of the Constellation of Stomach was revealed.
Unlike the Constellation of Kui, the surface of the Earth Star was bumpy and uneven. The light blue seawater only occupied a small part of the planet. Scattered pieces of gemstones were embedded on the surface.
The prefectural cities and gathering places on the Earth Star were also not on the surface. Instead, they were located on towering towers that reached the sky. These towers went straight into the clouds, and at the top was an oval-shaped platform that opened up like an umbrella. Now, each of them was shining brightly.
He could not help but stare at those towers for a while. He had once learned that the Constellation of Stomach was originally a defeated EsGod. Tianxia used its body to create this Earth Star. These towers were actually EsGod's original tentacles, and they could move freely like living creatures.
However, from the looks of it, there were no signs of life on them.
As the white boat gradually descended, it slowly descended toward a berth. However, right at this moment, a flying boat flew past them from behind and occupied the berth in advance.
