Zhang Yu looked at the three glowing fissures in the sky. He could sense the aftershocks of the battle from the two sides. Based on this, he could analyze the situation on the other side.
He quickly discovered that the people on the other side were all cultivators. He didn't know whether they were from Shangchen or You City, or both. However, two of them seemed to be in charge of restraining the other side. Only one of them was attacking fiercely.
He also recognized the Xuan Zun who was in charge of guarding this fissures. It was Daoist Yuhang, whom he had interacted with in the past.
He thought about it for a while and already knew what was going on.
He knew that Daoist Yuhang had become one of the three Xuan Zun who guarded Yujing. As a Shouzheng, although he wasn't familiar with the various guards, he still had a general understanding of them.
It seemed that this time, the external forces knew that there was a new guard here. Moreover, it was the newly attained Xuan Zun, so they came to test it out.
If Daoist Yuhang's cultivation wasn't good enough, then even if they didn't kill their way in, it was very likely that they would use this place as a suitable breakthrough point in the future.
Although it was only a doppelganger guarding the other side of the fissures, in a sense, the doppelganger represented the main body. The other side was also a doppelganger. When the two sides fought, they could naturally measure each other's strength.
This battle lasted for half a day. The other two places were still lukewarm, but the battle at Yu Hang's place became more and more intense.
The surging aura from the other side and the transmission of the thoughts of several Xuan Zun had accumulated for a long time. It caused countless bright lightning and light to appear in the surrounding world. Further away, there were bursts of torrential rain and strong winds, and the waves of the ocean rose and fell.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky. Outside the fissures that Yu Hang was in charge of guarding, the doppelganger's aura suddenly dissipated. It was obvious that it had been scattered.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't immediately rush forward to block it. Instead, he focused on the other side. Two sword shadows, one green and one white, flew into the sky behind him, faintly hiding in the gap.
He had once sparred with Daoist Yuhang. Even though it was only a single move, he knew that Daoist Yuhang had a solid foundation and endless power. Even if he failed, it would not be so easy for him to collapse in an instant.
If his deduction was correct, this should be Daoist Yuhang intentionally feigning weakness. He wanted to lure the enemies from the outside world in and then capture and kill them, thus achieving great merit.
Because of the frequent invasions, the sky above Yi Kong and Yujing had always been shielded. Now, a layer of formation had been set up. Even if the Xuan Zun fought, there was no need to worry about the land being affected.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the other side of the fissures. There was no sign of anyone passing through. This period of time was enough for Xuan Zun to manifest another doppelganger. It seemed that the other party hadn't been fooled.
This was common sense. Even though the fissures in Yujing were larger, it was actually the most secure area in the entire inner layer. Even if an outsider passed through here, they wouldn't be able to fight against Tianxia. The only way to survive was to escape from here and enter the Boundless Ocean or the land.
If he didn't have full confidence, perhaps he would lead a large force to invade. In that case, it was unlikely that he would take such a risk alone.
If Yu Hang's plan succeeded, he would be able to lure the enemy in. If it didn't succeed, he would be telling the other party that even if he didn't set up any obstacles and let them in, they wouldn't dare to come in.
In fact, Zhang Yu didn't like Yu Hang's choice.
This was because if the plan succeeded, killing one or two Xuan Zun would be able to intimidate the other party and cause them to suffer losses. However, if the Xuan Zun really passed through here, it would definitely cause the fissures in the inner and outer layers to widen. If more than one person from the upper layer came in, it would be more serious. The Turbid Tide might change again.
In this way, Tianxia wouldn't be without losses. These losses would be passed on to the people of the various continents. However, if Yu Hang was killed, he would be rewarded.
Of course, Yu Hang himself probably didn't think about this. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart. Perhaps from his point of view, eliminating a Xuan Zun was obviously more beneficial.
However, now that they were facing a great enemy, the most important thing was to unite against the enemy. He couldn't care less about it now. Just as he was vigilant, a golden light suddenly flew in from the distance. After it arrived in front of him, it floated in the air.
He glanced at it and saw that it was a letter from the upper layer. He saw that it was from a disciple on duty, so he took it. Just as he was about to open it, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Hmm?"
He turned to look and could feel that another crack had appeared on the surface of the sea.
In fact, when the two clones of the Xuan Zun fought outside the crack, its aura would seep in and cause the surrounding cracks to increase. This would also cause some enemies to pass through, just like the crack he encountered when he came here before. He had just casually filled it up.
Most of these cracks would appear and disappear. If no one passed through, they would either disappear on their own or converge toward the larger crack, further expanding these portals. This was also why, even though they knew that Yujing was the most heavily guarded place, the forces outside still tried to invade from time to time.
Now that he was alone in this crack, he felt that it was extremely abnormal. It was as if someone had forcefully pushed it away from the outside.
When he realized that something was wrong, he immediately put away the letter. His body flashed with a clear light, and his clone had already passed through the crack and appeared on the outer layer.
Then, he saw a young Daoist with his hair combed back into a bun and a broad forehead in the distance.
This person was standing quite far away from the gap. He was wearing a scarlet red robe that resembled the red clouds in the sky. However, the sleeves of the robe were incomparably wide, fluttering outwards like a cloud of fire. It looked as if it could cover his entire body.
This person's eyes were deep and calm. He looked at the bottomless lake. When he saw Chu Li's clone, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
Zhang Yu had no intention of communicating with this person. This person was just a clone, so it was meaningless to kill him. As long as he didn't enter the crack, there was no need for him to fight.
He didn't say anything, but the young man in the scarlet robe took the initiative to speak. "Looking at you, you must be the one who caused Hun Kong to suffer, right? What do you think? Do you want to come to Shangchen? It's much better than the various rules and restrictions you have to face in Tianxia. "
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Tianxia is stronger than Shangchen because of these rules."
The young man in the scarlet robe disagreed. "That's because Tianxia is strong, not because of your strength. We cultivators only care about ourselves. There's no need to care about other people's possessions."
Zhang Yu didn't argue with him. For a cultivator like this to be able to cultivate to such a level, he naturally had his own Dao. He wouldn't be easily swayed by others. However, this kind of discussion wouldn't lead to a conclusion. Instead, it would be easier to convince others if he directly demonstrated his principles.
The young man in the scarlet robe looked at him and suddenly said, "Since you're guarding this place, I don't think you can pass through. Since you have nothing else to do, why don't you spar with me about Dao?" As he spoke, his robe had already turned into countless scarlet rays of light that rolled towards him.
Zhang Yu stood still as if he didn't see the scarlet rays of light.
However, at this moment, two rays of light, one green and one white, suddenly flew out from the crack. In just a flash, the young man in the scarlet robe was sliced into several pieces by the two rays of light. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and completely destroyed this clone. The two sword-lights circled around in the void before falling back into the crack.
He looked ahead calmly. Since he was behind, why would he need to use his clone to fight? However, it was only a matter of one strike. His opponent chose to fight him instead of just standing there. How unwise was that?
In the outer layer of the void, Xuan Zun's clone had been destroyed. It wouldn't be so easy to send another one over.
He leaned to the side and grabbed the gap. When it was closed, his body flickered and he disappeared.
In the inner layer, Zhang Yu allowed the two flying swords to fall back into the light in his heart. He continued to look ahead. However, the person who came didn't seem to have any intention of probing. His breath gradually faded away, and the light in the crack was also extinguished. Daoist Yu Hang once again created another clone and went to the outer layer to guard the other end of the crack.
It seemed like it was just as he had predicted. The other party was only here to demonstrate and test him.
After this matter was over, he took out the letter and looked at it again. He found that it was sent by Gao and Feng.
In the letter, they expressed that as long as he was willing to clear his name and acknowledge their Dao, the two of them were willing to serve him as their leader in the future. When the time came, they would acknowledge him as the founder of Xuan Dao.
He shook his head. These two people didn't understand at all. He wanted to clear Xuan Dao, not to fight for the title of founder, but to show the world the right path for Xuanxiu.
However, he would never admit that these two people's Dao wasn't right.
As for the two people's worry that once they cleared Xuan Dao's name, it would cause a commotion among the world's Xuanxiu. In fact, it was no longer valid.
Not to mention that according to his judgment, there wouldn't be much of a change. Moreover, did these two people think that if he didn't care about this matter, it wouldn't happen?
Now, there was already a crude cultivator who was originally in charge of guarding the outer layer. This person might know the inside story of Xuan Dao.
Then, who knows when, You City or Shangchen would expose this matter first.
There was no movement now. Either this person felt that the time wasn't right, or that crude cultivator was using this as a bargaining chip and hadn't reported it yet.
In that case, rather than waiting for the enemy to expose this method, it would be better for Xuanting to open this scab himself. At least now, Xuan Dao had a real future. Therefore, this matter couldn't be concealed any longer.
However, there was another matter. The two people said that there were True Cultivators who would take this opportunity to make a request to abolish Xuan Dao. He admitted that there was a possibility.
However, if the other party really wanted to achieve this, they definitely wouldn't stop just because Xuan Dao wasn't properly named. If he stood with these two people, he wouldn't have a proper name and would give the other party an excuse to act.
Since he was the one who opened Xuan Dao's path, he would naturally take responsibility for resisting the argument of abolishing Xuan Dao.
With a flick of his sleeve, the talisman book was shattered into countless specks of light. Then, it flew into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
