After the young Daoist laughed coldly, he said to Zhang Yu, "Has Governor Zhang heard of the Zhengqing incident?"
Zhang Yu replied, "I have."
The young Daoist hugged his horsetail whisk and stood there, saying, "Zhengqing's faction went against the trend, saying something like" Restore Zhen and destroy Xuan ". They repeatedly obstructed Xuanting's affairs, so after being severely punished, they were driven out by Xuanting.
At that time, it wasn't that no one agreed with his words, and there were quite a few people who stood on his side. After he disappeared, this generation didn't say anything, but in their hearts, they might not have let go of this obsession. "
When Zhang Yu heard the two words "Zhengqing", he knew who was targeting him. He had thought of this before, but he couldn't be sure.
The incident in the Dongting Protectorate could be said to be caused by the remnants of Zhengqing's faction. He didn't expect to meet people from this faction in the outer regions.
He said, "According to the words of the emissary, this jade bead should be the work of one of them?"
The young Daoist said coldly, "I will ask this person about this matter. However, Governor Zhang, as long as people don't give up on their wild thoughts, this matter won't end here. Does Governor Zhang understand?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I understand."
The confrontation between Zhen and Xuan could be considered a battle of Dao intent, but it wouldn't be so easy to give up, unless those Xuan Zun who privately supported the idea of destroying Xuan and restoring Zhen were all captured.
However, this was obviously impossible. Back then, Xuanting didn't do this, let alone now.
As for the attack on him, if there was evidence, then he could be punished. However, the thing that Xuan Zun gave to his subordinates naturally couldn't be used as evidence.
The young Daoist said coldly, "That's right, Governor Zhang, as the Governor of Xuanting, is the emissary of Xuanting outside. You were threatened, and this matter also involves Xuanting's prestige, but we can't let it go so easily."
He picked up the horsetail whisk and brushed it against the jade bead. In an instant, a wisp of green smoke floated out from within and quickly dissipated. However, in the next moment, a wave of energy was born from within, and it bloomed with a ray of light.
Zhang Yu immediately saw that this item was greatly different from before. When he looked at it earlier, it was just a bead with a glossy surface, reserved and reserved. But now, it was a riot of colors, especially dazzling and eye-catching.
The young Daoist said, "I've already dissolved the mana that person channeled into this. I've also used another method on it. You can use this item to find those sneaky people. In the outer layer, anyone who is related to this item can be found. You can use this to eliminate them one by one."
As he spoke, he waved the horsetail whisk, and the jade bead floated forward.
Zhang Yu caught it in his palm, held it, and cupped his hands in salute. "Thank you, emissary."
The young Daoist nodded at him and said, "You may leave, Governor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings began to fade. Zhang Yu also felt himself rapidly retreating. When he steadied himself, he realized that he was still standing in front of the jade wall.
He glanced at the jade bead in his hand, and with a thought, he floated up continuously. In just a moment, he was back in front of the ice pit on the mountain plains. The sense of the Severing of All Things surged into his mind again.
He looked up at the dome of the sky. With a flash of green light, he had disappeared. Only the sound of the wind from the snowy plains still lingered between the snowy peaks and the earth.
In the Military Affairs Department of Kui Mansion, the head of the department, Hong Yuanqiu, was reading the reports sent in from all directions. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was grave.
During this period of time, the Military Affairs Department had gradually withdrawn the main army that had been fighting on Planet Guo. In order to prevent the Shangchen cultivators from using the planet again, Xuan Zun had sealed the entire planet.
While the main army was returning one after another, the Military Affairs Department also picked up the things that had been delayed before. The main thing was to clean up the evil god believers that had appeared again on various planets, as well as the omnipresent cultivators of Shang Chen Heaven.
Among them, he had invested in a batch of custom-made items from the Yujing Tenki-in Hall.
After the series of battles, all parties reported to the higher-ups that the new armor was very useful, especially with the help of the medicinal oil in the military uniform. It had weakened the invasion of the Outer Void to a point where it was almost unaffected.
As a result, the soldiers were no longer restricted and troubled by the past. Their enlistment activities became faster, and they could be mobilized to a wider area. They no longer had to be trapped in one place due to the burden of military equipment.
Because of all these benefits, many military academies in the military had suggested that the Military Affairs Department increase the procurement in this area to strengthen the main army's combat strength.
However, Hong Yuanqiu still remembered Zhang Yu's warning and his instinctive vigilance as the head of the Military Affairs Department. Therefore, he didn't agree to his subordinates' request. Instead, he had been suppressing the matter.
However, in the past few days, the garrison troops and enlistments in various places in Kui Mansion had been clamoring to change their uniforms.
Many people here were short-sighted and didn't understand the big picture. Many people were just following the crowd, and the loudest ones were those who had received benefits in private.
The more this was the case, the more he couldn't agree to it.
However, he couldn't completely ignore the clamor from his subordinates. On the surface, this matter was beneficial to the entire Kui Mansion. Even though he was the head of the department, he couldn't suppress everyone's opinions. Some people had even sent letters to Yujing in private, trying to use the power of the higher-ups to force him to agree. Therefore, he had been under a lot of pressure these days.
He felt that if this went on, he wouldn't be able to hold on.
At this time, his trusted aide entered from outside and handed over a document. "Head, you sent someone to deliver this to me."
Hong Yuanqiu took it and skimmed through it. It was a report of one of his subordinates who had been bewitched by outsiders and was suspected of conspiring against the Xuanting Patrol Zhang Yu. Hong Yuanqiu took this matter seriously and said solemnly, "Please punish him severely for this matter."
The civil official replied with an affirmative.
After giving his instructions, Hong Yuanqiu was just about to put the document aside when he suddenly had a thought. He picked it up and read it again.
After a while, he sighed and said, "Right now, all the military academies want me to change my uniform as quickly as possible. However, the soldiers below are all mixed up, and there are even quite a few among them who are colluding with the enemy. How can I so easily make such an exception?"
The official asked carefully, "Then, Head, you mean …"
Hong Yuanqiu said in a low voice, "In light of this, I have decided to tighten military discipline and clean up those black sheep."
The official was shocked. This was no small matter. He was about to persuade Hong Yuanqiu, but when he raised his head, he saw Hong Yuanqiu looking at him with bright eyes. He seemed to have realized something and changed his mind. He agreed, "Head, you have great foresight. There are indeed some people below who are very outrageous."
Hong Yuanqiu said in a low voice, "Go and invite General Luan here. I need to discuss this matter with him."
Zhang Yu returned to the courtyard of Tanquan City from the place where he had presented the document. He first meditated for a while to adjust his breathing. When he was fully energized, he took out the jade bead and poured his Heart's Light into it.
The jade bead slowly floated up. After a while, it flew out of the main residence and into the sky. He walked out of the hall and turned into a streak of light to follow.
The jade bead led the way in front, flying towards the sky above the Kui Mansion.
He followed behind. When he saw the jade bead pass through the Heavenly Gate that led to the Stomach Mansion, his eyes flashed and he also flew through the Heavenly Gate. After a burst of light turbulence, he appeared outside the Stomach Mansion.
The bead did not stop there. Instead, it turned into a streak of light and continued to fly below the Stomach Mansion.
In a palace on the surface of the Stomach Mansion, Daoist Cao's expression did not look too good. This was because he had just received a report that Chang Er's life tablet had shattered. He was undoubtedly dead.
He immediately thought that something must have happened when Chang Er went to retrieve the jade bead. He shook his head in his heart. It was a pity that he had lost a capable assistant.
He thought for a moment. No one knew about Chang Er's trip except for him. It seemed that Wu Junhou had been exposed. Perhaps the jade bead bestowed by Xuan Zun had also fallen into the hands of the person on the other side.
The most likely person to be able to set up this trap and kill Chang Er was Zhang Yu. Otherwise, with Chang Er's ability, he would have been able to escape even if the matter was exposed.
Chang Er's soul was restricted, so he probably would not reveal anything. He was not afraid of revealing anything, but the vigilance he had for a long time made him feel that since it was not suitable for him to stay here, he should change places.
With this thought in mind, he called a few people over and gave them a few instructions. Then, he took a few of his trusted aides onto the flying boat and flew in the direction of the Divine Gate. He planned to go to a constellation that was farther away to hide. He would return when he was sure that everything was fine.
At this time, Zhang Yu had already entered the Stomach Mansion with the jade bead and was descending through the atmosphere. At this time, a flying boat was flying towards the sky. Although it was quite far away from him, the two could be considered to have passed by each other.
The jade bead that was originally descending paused at this time. Then, it suddenly turned around and flew towards the sky.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. Looking in the direction the jade bead flew, he also turned around and followed.
Daoist Cao was sitting in the main cabin, holding a teacup and sipping tea, but at this moment, a jade pendant hanging from his waist suddenly lit up.
His expression changed slightly. This was a warning. Only when an extremely dangerous person approached would such a situation occur.
He did not look at it at all. He directly stretched out his hand and pressed on the flying boat. In an instant, a dazzling flame erupted from the boat and its speed suddenly increased by several times.
At this time, Zhang Yu also saw the flying boat that suddenly accelerated above. The jade bead was also chasing in the direction of the boat. He immediately realized that the person in question was inside.
However, the flying boat was extremely fast. It could be seen that it was a magic tool. Although the distance between the two sides was gradually closing, it was not something that could be caught up in a short time.
At this time, Daoist Cao took the time to look back. When he saw the jade mist and green rainbow, his eyelids twitched. He had already guessed who the person was.
Thoughts raced through his mind. Although he did not know why Zhang Yu was able to find him, it was useless to think about it now. Facing Zhang Yu head-on was unwise and also the worst choice.
He was used to hiding in the dark to seize the enemy's weakness. He felt that he should avoid this kind of unprepared battle.
Thus, he turned his head and said to a Daoist standing behind him, whose head and face were covered in a gray robe, "If this person catches up later, go up and stop him. Delay him for as long as you can."
The Daoist raised his chin slightly, revealing his shriveled skin and flesh. He said in a hoarse voice, "Understood."
