Xu Chengtong had been looking at a military encampment outside Tanquan City.
At this moment, an obscure ray of light flew over from afar. He immediately caught it in his hand, and a ray of light from the talisman fell into his body. He instantly understood the conversation between Zhang Yu and the shadow that had been attached to the talisman.
With Zhang Yu's reply, he no longer hesitated and walked into the encampment.
Speaking of which, it was strange. In the past, when he was in You City, he didn't feel restrained, but he always felt uneasy. However, now that he was under control, his heart was unusually steady, and he was willing to abide by the rules.
His concealment technique was very brilliant. Even though there were also cultivators in the encampment, none of them discovered his existence.
Even though the Qi in the flying boat had been mixed up, as long as a person was still in the world, he would always leave behind many traces. As a deacon who used to be in You City, he still had the ability to track down traces.
Not long after, he arrived in front of a military fort. With a flash of his body, he entered the inner room. He didn't continue to go in, but only listened attentively.
All of a sudden, the breathing, talking, and even the sounds of the people in the fortress entered his mind. There were at least a thousand people here, but he was able to distinguish each and every one of them in detail just by using these sounds.
Among these people, he heard a special voice. The reason why it was special was because this person's movements and habits were incompatible with the soldiers in the military fort.
This person's footsteps were very light, and he wasn't very old, not more than thirty years old. Xu Chengtong didn't take any action, but kept listening.
After about half a day, he sensed that another person had appeared in this person's room.
His spirit was roused, and his mind focused slightly.
After greeting the person who came, that person said, "When will you arrange for me to go back?"
The person said, "They've decided that they don't want you to go back. Give me the thing, you know what to do. I'll help you clean it up."
That person was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he say, "I understand."
After the person finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I'll give you fifteen minutes." Then, he added, "Don't take too long." With that, he left.
At this time, Xu Chengtong stepped through the wall and walked directly into the room. He saw a young man sitting there with his back facing him. He was wearing a sky-blue short-sleeved shirt, and his hair was combed in a bun, but it was very clean. He held a dagger in his hand, and he was wiping it at the moment.
After a while, the young man placed the dagger on his neck..... After a moment of hesitation, his waist and arm was about to exert force, but at this time, a hand, a hand, pressed on his shoulder..
Xu Chengtong's voice was heard....
The young man's body suddenly froze, and a look of panic appeared on his face. He desperately tried to exert force, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. It was hard to tell if it was because of himself or because of an external force.
At this time, Xu Chengtong turned to face him and sat down in the original seat. He looked at him and saw that it was a young creator with a metal bar embedded in his chin. He asked, "What's your name?"
The creator wanted to refuse, but he replied unconsciously, "Cao Qi."
Xu Chengtong asked, "Who sent you?"
Veins popped out on Cao Qi's neck, and his face showed that he was struggling. His body trembled slightly, but he still stammered, "It's Cao, Master Cao sent me."
When Xu Chengtong thought about this name again, he realized that Cao Qi's forehead was sweating profusely. Obviously, he was resisting fiercely, and it was more likely that someone had placed a restriction on his body.
He knew that if he continued to ask, Cao Qi would probably fall into a coma, so he changed the topic. "Who was the person who spoke to you just now? Why are you looking for him? "
Sure enough, this way, the inner struggle was not so fierce. He said, "It's Marquis Wu. I didn't know him before. Master Cao said that if the operation is not successful, I should look for this person, and he will help me."
Xu Chengtong noticed that someone was coming here. It was the person who came just now.
He did not ask any more questions. He shook his sleeve, and a cloud of white smoke and sand swayed, sucking Cao Qi into it. Then, he pointed at the place where Cao Qi was sitting and released a wave of mana. Then, he stood up and quietly stood at the corner of the wall.
After a while, Marquis Wu walked in. In his eyes, Cao Qi was lying on the table with a big wound on his neck, and the whole room was filled with the smell of blood. He was very satisfied. He turned around and called a follower over, gave a few instructions, and then left again.
The follower was busy here, trying to clean up the traces of blood, and carrying the corpse out. However, he did not realize that whether it was the blood stains he wiped or the corpse on his shoulder, all of these did not exist.
Xu Chengtong walked out. He had been following behind Marquis Wu, and the distance between them was only a fist's distance. At this moment, he saw a cultivator walking towards him. He took a step forward, and looked at him, he actually overlapped with Marquis Wu.
However, nothing strange happened to Marquis Wu, and he even greeted the cultivator.
When he returned to his room, he took a pen and paper and began to write a letter. However, the words he used were some simple symbols that could not be recognized.
Xu Chengtong read for a while and memorized everything in his heart. He did not disturb Marquis Wu, and only left a strand of his aura on him. Then, he left the station and directly returned to Ye Ya State.
Until now, he had not registered in the Military Affairs Department, so he chose to travel through the Wilderness. However, even if someone stopped him halfway, he had the token given to him by Zhang Yu.
Half a day later, he entered Ye Ya State and came to the Supreme Platform. Before he entered, he heard Zhang Yu's voice, "Deacon Xu, there's no need to pass the message. Come to the rooftop to talk."
Xu Chengtong immediately floated up to the rooftop. After landing, he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Patrol Officer." He paused for a moment, "Patrol Officer, I've found him. I've brought him back."
The white sand behind him shook, and the creator called Cao Qi was released, but he was unconscious at this time.
He said again, "I was afraid that there were restrictions on this person, so I didn't ask too much."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "Other than him, is there anyone else involved?"
Xu Chengtong said, "There's another Marquis, but I didn't disturb him for the time being."
Zhang Yu nodded. He released his heart light and covered the person's body. Then, he said, "Deacon Xu, you'll be the one to ask. There's no need to worry too much."
Normally speaking, even if someone had set up a trap in one's body, it would mostly rely on the Heart Light or Mana that was left in one's body. As long as one suppressed it at all times, there would not be any problems. However, that required exquisite and mysterious methods and an even more powerful Heart Force. He undoubtedly possessed both of these.
Xu Chengtong's spirit was lifted, and he felt that it was time for him to perform.
Therefore, in front of Zhang Yu, he used his methods to force Cao Qi to respond. Cao Qi answered every question he asked. During this time, there were several times when light emerged from the person's body, but under the suppression of Zhang Yu's light, it didn't hurt the person at all.
However, Cao Qi's knowledge was actually very limited, especially since he was a creator. It was obvious that he was going to be used and abandoned from the beginning. However, after this round of questioning, he roughly understood the situation that day.
Xu Chengtong said, "Patrol Officer, these people have sinister intentions. They actually wanted to secretly harm you when you were crossing the Divine Gate. However, the Divine Gate was set up by Xuan Zun. If they want to shake its power, they must have enough methods. Doesn't this mean …"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. The other party shouldn't be from You City. You City looked for him for the Dao seal that might exist on him, and not simply wanted his life.
If it was Shangchen, it didn't seem like their style. Shangchen was most concerned about the entrance to the inner layer, and usually did things at a higher level.
However, these people were able to reach deep into the military and make all kinds of effective arrangements. This could be from the inside.
He said, "Deacon Xu, go and keep a close eye on that marquis. See who he has been in contact with recently. When you find clues, come back and report to me."
Xu Chengtong said, "I understand." He raised his head and said, "Patrol Officer, can you allow me to find a few people?"
Zhang Yu turned his head and said, "Who do you want?"
Xu Chengtong said, "I used to have a few capable people in You City. Now that they are all detained, I'm afraid I can't handle this matter by myself. Perhaps I can ask them to come and help."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and walked to the side of the table. He picked up the brush and wrote a letter. He said, "Go and get the people. If it's done well, let them follow you first."
Xu Chengtong said respectfully, "Yes, I will make them atone for their sins." He bowed and took a few steps back, passing through the wall of the rooftop.
Zhang Yu stood up and looked in the direction of the Wei Family's military camp.
When Xu Chengtong mentioned the matter of manpower, he also remembered that he had been in Ye Ya Prefecture for more than a year. His agreement with the Wei Family's military had ended, and his identity had been exposed, so there was no need to continue staying in the Wei Family's military.
He had worked with the Wei Family's military for a period of time, and recognized the character of the Wei Family's military. He felt that he could consider hiring them for his own use.
However, the consumption of a mercenary army was not small. He couldn't afford it himself, but he could write a letter to Xuanting. For such a small matter, he didn't need to personally go to the place to submit the letter. He could directly report it to Xuanting's cultivator in Kui Residence.
After making a decision, he thought that the next time he returned to Tanquan City, he would solve this matter. Next, he was going to go into seclusion for a period of time and strive to get another one yuan.
Before that, he still needed to make some more arrangements, so he called Li Qinghe and Qing Shu up together. First, he explained some things to Li Qinghe. After letting him go, he said to Qing Shu, "How's An Zhizhi's homework?"
Qing Shu said, "Although this young man lacks discipline, his aptitude is really good. It only took him half a day to master the breathing method, and he hasn't studied it seriously. His attendant Wei Shan, although he works very hard, I think he won't be able to get started even after a few months."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "He just mastered the technique. He's still far from mastering it. Let him continue to polish it. As long as Wei Shan is willing to learn, you can teach him first. If there's anything, wait until I come out of seclusion."
Qing Shu cupped his fists and said, "Yes, sir."
Zhang Yu waved his hand to dismiss him. After sitting for a while, he got up from the rooftop and walked into the quiet room. He casually threw out a jade token and set up a formation. After sitting down again, he opened the copper box. Then, he calmed his mind and began to absorb the hot flow transmitted from it with all his strength.
