A ray of light flew over from afar and landed beside Zhang Yu. When the light dissipated, Xu Chengtong appeared. He quickly bowed and said, "Patrol Officer, I am useless. I almost let this person escape."
Zhang Yu said, "This is not Deacon Xu's fault. This person's ability is indeed unique. It is quite similar to Deacon Yue's."
Xu Chengtong immediately said, "Patrol Officer, you are indeed wise. However, no matter how cunning this person is, he still could not escape from Patrol Officer's hands."
Zhang Yu said, "This person is too impatient."
Chang 'er was struck by his supernatural power, "Zhu Heng Chang Yi". Once a cultivator was struck by this supernatural power, they would have to maintain their mana and heart light within a certain limit. They would not have too many drastic changes before the supernatural power disappeared.
If they did not pay attention to it, the ability would change and their body would collapse. It would be useless no matter how they transformed. And if the person was able to check himself in time, after the ability disappears, there was still a chance that he could escape.
Xu Chengtong looked at the copper box and said, "Patrol Officer, I originally could not find this item. Now it seems that this person used this concealment artifact to hide it."
Zhang Yu said, "This is not strange. This involves the gift of the Xuan Zun. It is reasonable to be so careful."
Xu Chengtong hurriedly chimed in.
At this moment, several rays of light descended from the sky. Four young cultivators appeared. These people were the people that Xu Chengtong picked out from the prison. When they saw Zhang Yu and Xu Chengtong, they all came up to greet them respectfully.
Other than them, Wu Junhou was also among them. However, at this moment, his outer armor was full of cracks and he looked to be in a very sorry state. One of the cultivators reached out and pressed on his back. He involuntarily took a few steps forward and then half-knelt on the ground, barely supporting his body to not fall.
Wu Junhou panted. He insisted on not removing the outer armor on his body. This seemed to be the only barrier that could protect his dignity.
Xu Chengtong asked righteously, "Wu Junhou, why did you collude with the enemy?"
Wu Junhou raised his head. His face under the helmet smiled coldly and said, "Collude with the enemy? Where did the enemy come from? I don't think I've done anything wrong to Kui Su. You should ask yourself, why do you have to involve others in the battle between you cultivators? "
Xu Chengtong said, "Oh? Then tell me, who are the people who instigated you? "
Wu Junhou said, "I've said it before, it's just some cultivators. I don't know who they are, but to me, they're no different."
Xu Chengtong said, "Then how do you know they are not sent by Shangchen or You City?"
Wu Junhou was silent.
Right at this moment, a buzzing sound was heard. Everyone looked up and saw a flying boat flying over here.
These flying ships arrived above them, but they didn't get too close. The cabin door of the leading flying ship opened, and a metal giant wearing a military uniform appeared. He jumped out and flew down.
After getting the military uniform to cover the Outer Void Evil, these armored soldiers could boldly fly without worrying about the loss of energy. Their strength was greatly improved compared to before.
After the metal giant landed in front of them, he cupped his hands and bowed to them. He said solemnly, "I'm Di Guang. Wu Junhou is a soldier of our army. If he did anything wrong, I should be the one to punish him. But you're trying to punish him privately. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Xu Chengtong stepped forward and cupped his hands to Zhang Yu. He said, "This is Governor Zhang of Xuanting. Someone secretly tried to kill Governor Zhang, and Wu Junhou was involved in this matter. We really don't know if there are any accomplices in your army, so we can only capture him."
Commandant Di was a little surprised. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if it's Governor Zhang, you should show proof before you capture him. You can't do it for no reason."
Zhang Yu said, "Lieutenant Di, I have already reported this matter to Chief Hong. However, due to the fact that this matter has too many implications, I did not inform Lieutenant Di about it for the sake of confidentiality. As for this person, I will first bring him back for interrogation. If he is too deeply implicated and placed in your army, not only will you not be able to protect him, you will instead end up harming his life."
Commandant Di looked at him seriously for a while. He pondered for a moment and said, "You can take him away, but you have to give me a written statement."
Zhang Yu nodded. "Of course."
He was not dissatisfied with this responsible commandant. According to the rules, he should do so. He immediately took out a sealed token and gave it to the commandant.
After Commandant Di received it, he looked at it seriously for a while. After putting it away, he cupped his fists and turned around. Soon after, the flying boat also turned around and left.
Zhang Yu waved his sleeve and a white smoke flew out. In an instant, a white boat appeared in front of everyone. He said, "Deacon Xu, take Marquis Wu with you. We'll leave this place first."
Xu Chengtong hurriedly responded.
Zhang Yu stepped into the flying boat. Xu Chengtong also took Marquis Wu and called for the four cultivators to follow him.
After a short while, the white boat soared into the sky and turned back to Tanquan City. After a short while, the flying boat landed steadily in the open space in front of Zhang Yu's residence.
After Zhang Yu disembarked from the white boat, he ordered Xu Chengtong to bring Marquis Wu to the main hall.
He sat down and said, "Marquis Wu, since you said that you didn't do anything wrong to the Military Affairs Department, then I'll ask you some questions. I hope you can be honest with me."
Marquis Wu said, "I don't know much."
Zhang Yu said, "It's fine as long as you know."
Wu Junhou looked at him, lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "In July last year, a Daoist cultivator found me and asked me to cooperate with their arrangements at an appropriate time. They promised to provide me and my subordinates with the best robes and armor, and also promised to provide all kinds of support in creation.
Because we're conscripted and not a regular army, we're allowed to receive help from outside. After receiving a guarantee that we won't break the law, I agreed to their request.
After that, they didn't contact me until more than a month ago. They sent me a letter and asked me to find a way to receive a creator and wait for follow-up arrangements. I did so.
After that, they sent a second letter and asked me to find a way to deal with that creator and find a way to send back the things they obtained. They also explained the specific methods in the letter. "
Zhang Yu asked, "Where's the letter?"
Marquis Wu said, "Why would I keep something like that?"
Zhang Yu said, "Since you accepted the creation support from these people, then you should have an observer with you?"
Marquis Wu admitted, "Yes."
Zhang Yu said, "Then I'll have to trouble Marquis Wu to write down the original contents of the letter."
Marquis Wu was silent for a moment and said, "I need a pen and paper."
Zhang Yu gestured, and Qing Shu brought the pen and paper over and spread it in front of him.
The space between Wu Junhou's eyebrows flashed, and he removed the outer armor on his body. Then, he bent down and started writing on the white paper. With the help of the Observer, he didn't need to recall anything. He wrote very quickly, and he wrote down the two letters that he had exchanged.
After he put down the pen, Qing Shu took the paper and presented it to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu looked down. From the letter, the words used by the person who sent the letter leaned towards the archaic style. Nowadays, Xuanxiu didn't use this style of language anymore. However, it could still be seen among True Cultivators, and most of them were conservative cultivators who followed ancient etiquette. Not only that, the incantation used to collect the magic tool was also very archaic.
When he thought of this, his eyes flashed. Although he couldn't see anything from the retelling of the letter, he had a faint guess.
He said, "Deacon Xu."
Xu Chengtong hurriedly bowed and said, "Patrol Officer, what are your orders?"
Zhang Yu said, "Marquis Wu is a soldier in the army and shouldn't be handled by us. Send him back to the Military Affairs Department and tell Chief Hong what happened."
Xu Chengtong said, "Leave it to me."
When Marquis Wu heard his words, he looked up and silently bowed to him with cupped fists. Then, he followed Xu Chengtong and the others down.
After they left, Zhang Yu looked at the copper box on the table and thought for a while. Then, he put it in his sleeve and walked out of the main residence. He flew north to the place where the letter was presented.
No matter where the force behind it came from, since it involved Xuan Zun, he had to report it to the Xuanting.
A moment later, he arrived at the extreme north. After he landed on a snowy mountain, he took out the Patrol Officer's Seal. Then, a light appeared in the ice pit, and he felt his body sinking.
With the improvement of his cultivation, he didn't feel like he was in a trance anymore. After a moment, he stepped on solid ground, and the huge jade wall emitting light appeared in front of him.
He took out a memorial that he had already prepared and handed it over. Then, he felt the weight in his hand disappear. The memorial had already turned into a ray of light and flew into it.
Not long after, water-like ripples appeared on the jade wall like the previous two times, and a golden light sprinkled over, condensing into a passageway in just a few breaths.
He immediately walked up. After a few steps, he found himself in a palace. The young Taoist was standing there with a horsetail whisk in his hand.
Zhang Yuyong was about to greet him when the young Taoist waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Inspector Zhang, there's no need to be so courteous. Based on what you said in the letter, you said that you obtained a treasure from a Mystic Venerable One. Let me take a look at it. I'd like to see who it is."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he took out the box from his sleeve and removed the cover, revealing a jade bead.
The young Taoist looked at it, and the jade bead flew in front of him. However, at this time, the jade bead seemed to sense something. It shone brightly and shattered.
The young Taoist sneered and waved his horsetail whisk. The jade bead fragments that exploded suddenly froze and then retreated. After a breath, it returned to its original appearance. He reached out and took the jade bead in his hand. He couldn't help but sneer and say, "So it's this one."
