The moment Su Zhi saw the golden light cover him, he knew something was wrong. However, it was already too late to react. The moment the golden light filled with countless Taoist Glyphs entered his eyes, he felt slightly dazed.
However, with just this pause, he completely missed the last chance to retreat from the inner layer. The empty vortex behind him seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand. It flickered once and then closed with a bang.
He turned his head to take a look and sighed in his heart. In the end, he still couldn't escape. He still felt lucky in his heart. However, he knew his own situation. Unless he really saw the existence of a threat, he knew that he would definitely not back down.
At this moment, he looked out again. The golden light was like a cage that trapped him here. Although he knew the cage was not solid and he only needed to exert a little more force to break it, since Tianxia had made such arrangements, they would not allow him to escape so easily.
Moreover, he no longer had any Blue Spirit Dew on him. With his path of retreat cut off, even if he managed to break out, it would be useless no matter where he went. It was better to stay and face the enemy.
At this time, a grand clear light landed in front of him. As the light dispersed, a young Daoist with jade mist and starlight drifting around him walked out. The majestic aura emitted from the young Daoist's body suppressed his aura to the point that it became slightly sluggish.
He involuntarily took a step back. After calming himself down, he bowed and said, "Fellow must be Xuanting Zhang Shouzheng? I am Su Zhi of You City. Greetings. "
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve to return the greeting. He said, "Xuan Zun Su, you should know that you can no longer leave. If you cooperate with Xuanting, we will not treat you harshly."
Su Zhi was silent for a moment. Even though he knew resistance was meaningless, he would not give up so easily.
He did not like those in You City who only cared about their own interests and did not care about others. He believed that as the Xuan Zun of You City, he should also be responsible. Otherwise, he would not have come here this time.
He raised his head and smiled, "Zhang Shouzheng, please forgive me for not being able to agree to this. I also have my own insistence."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Xuan Zun Su, have you killed Tianxia's people in the past?"
Su Zhi shook his head and said, "Ever since I attained the Dao, I've never personally fought with the Fellow Daoists from your side. However, I won't deny that many of the cultivators who fought with your side were sent out by me."
Zhang Yu said, "If that's the case, Xuan Zun Su, sorry for the offense."
When Su Zhi heard his words, his expression turned serious. The mana in his body surged and his Primordial Spirit, which seemed to be built by golden clouds, escaped from his body. It could be seen that there were wisps of golden mist still connected to his body. At the same time, a copper seal also rose up under the support of a white cloud.
After sensing Zhang Yu's powerful Qi, he realized that the strength of this Xuanting Shouzheng in front of him was probably far above his own. Therefore, he was prepared to give it his all from the start.
Zhang Yu stood there without moving. Ever since he had ascended to the upper levels, he had seen many fellow Daoists. However, in his opinion, this person in front of him, not to mention his divine abilities and Dharmic powers, was relatively weak in terms of Dharmic powers and Qi.
From the records of the Shouzheng Palace, all the cultivators who could fight with Xuanting in You City and Shangchen had cultivated for a long time. They had cultivated for at least a thousand years.
The main reason for this was that the Tianxia Xuanting had occupied the upper level for nearly four hundred years. With the nourishment of the upper level, coupled with the mystical rations that could be used as resources, the cultivators' mana increased faster, but their foundation would not be unstable in the slightest.
He looked at the grand scene in front of him and said softly,
"Seize!"
"Seize!"
"Seize!"
For people whose mana and Heart Light were far inferior to his, he only needed to use a word seal to take them down.
When Su Zhi heard the word "seize", he only felt his entire body tremble. Then, there was a feeling of emptiness. It was as if the mana in his body was taken away out of thin air. Even the Primordial Spirit that was released stopped in mid-air, motionless.
At this time, the treasured robe on his body responded automatically and released a ray of spiritual light.
However, when the second "seize" came, the spiritual light of the treasured robe rose half a foot and was suppressed in an instant. The copper seal in the air lost its spiritual light and fell from the sky.
Along with the arrival of the third 'command', Su Zhi felt his senses withdraw completely. It was as if he'd been sealed within a region of darkness that was difficult to sense. At this moment, not to mention the enemy before him, he couldn't even sense himself. For a time, he'd completely lost the ability to resist.
Zhang Yu raised his hand and gestured. Amidst the golden light, there was a flash of Taoist talisman. Chains of golden light formed by Taoist talismans extended out and bound Su Zhi who was standing there. Then, the golden light retracted and dragged Su Zhi up. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into a hole in the sky.
After a while, the hole also closed.
At this moment, his gaze swept to the side. His heart skipped a beat, and a letter was forcefully brought to his eyes. The letter was trembling, and a panicked wail could be heard, "Spare my life, spare my life, spare my life, spare my life!"
Zhang Yu took a look and said, "Jian Yuan Fei Shu?"
The letter's spirit was slightly lifted. It said, "Yes, yes. Shouzheng has good eyesight. This lowly one is Jian Yuan Fei Shu."
Zhang Yu understood. Jian Yuan Fei Shu was a rare magic tool. Because it had spiritual intelligence and could sense its own kind, it could send a letter across space and pass on some simple information.
However, it was said that the refining of this item would use the soul of a cultivator. Therefore, in Tianxia, the refining of this item had long been forbidden. This letter had undoubtedly come with Su Zhi.
He thought for a while and casually stuffed the book into his sleeve. Then, he turned into a ray of clear light and returned to the upper level.
With another thought, he arrived in front of the meeting hall. He stepped in and saw that other than the three court enforcers he met last time, Daoist Zhong was also here this time.
At this moment, Wu Qingxu waved his sleeve and two jade tokens flew out. He said, "Zhang Shouzheng, we found these among the items that Su Zhuo carried with him. These are undoubtedly the Dharma Artifacts used to lure the other two. With these two items, we can try to capture the other two. I'll have to trouble Shouzheng to make a trip here."
Zhang Yu said, "This is my duty."
However, at this time, a ray of light suddenly flew over. Chao Huan caught it and raised his eyebrows. "I'm afraid Zhang Shouzheng won't have to go."
Wu Qingxu said in a low voice, "What's the situation?"
Chao Huan tossed the book forward, and it turned into a ray of light visible to everyone in the hall. He said, "The two lower levels have already been cut off from the inner level. It seems like the two of them have no intention of going to the inner level, and are planning to leave."
Wu Qingxu thought for a while and said, "Then we don't need to care about this matter anymore." He looked at Daoist Zhong and said, "Zhong Tingzhi, since Zhang Shouzheng is also here, you can continue with your deduction."
Daoist Zhong cupped his hands and said, "According to our previous investigation, two people have returned from Shangchen and one from You City. It's that Xuan Zun that Zhang Shouzheng caught. There are three people here in total, but Chong Tingzhi and I have repeatedly calculated and felt that we missed something."
He paused for a while and said, "We suspect that there might be another person who transmigrated with these three people."
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered and said, "Are you unable to confirm this with Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi's calculations?"
Daoist Zhong shook his head and said, "The people from Shangchen and You City have been trying to mess with the Heavenly Mysteries since the beginning. It's not easy to solve the Heavenly Mysteries. However, we found a trace of disharmony in the process, so we made this deduction."
Wu Qingxu said, "Zhong Tingzhi, what kind of method do you think the other party used?"
Daoist Zhong said, "Chong Tingzhi and I are confident that our calculation methods are not inferior to the other party's. The magic tools in our hands are also of superior quality. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a blur unless the other party used a treasure that is far superior to ours.
According to the reports we received, the three people who transmigrated this time may have used the 'Green Spirit Dew'. Therefore, we suspect that … if one of them slipped through, it's very likely that this person is carrying a branch of the 'Cymbidium Lucidum'. If that's the case, it's very difficult to track him down. "
At this time, Zhu Yisheng said slowly, "This item can be regarded as Shangchen's most precious treasure. Shangchen relied on this item to open up a territory in the void and contend with my Tianxia.
When my sect refined the 'Green Sun Wheel', one of the precious materials used was a broken branch of the 'Cymbidium Lucidum'. This item has endless magical uses. If it's used to conceal oneself, it's indeed possible to hide from our eyes and ears. "
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "What did you say about Su Zhi who was previously captured?"
Daoist Zhong shook his head and said, "If there really is such a person, then it's possible that even the cultivators who transmigrated with him don't know of his existence. Not to mention that Su Zhi is a cultivator from Shangchen. Shangchen definitely won't tell him about this matter."
Wu Qingxu said in a deep voice, "This matter must be investigated thoroughly. If we can't find this person, then we'll use the 'Clear Sky Astrolabe' to investigate."
Daoist Zhong shook his head and said, "Wu Tingzhi, every time the astrolabe is used, it consumes a lot of energy. If we use it this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to use it again for the next sixty years. I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
Wu Qingxu said in a deep voice, "If it's to get rid of hidden dangers, this is necessary. If we can't deal with it now, how can we deal with it in the future?"
Daoist Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he raised his head and said loudly, "Everyone, the 'Clear Sky Astrolabe' is a precious treasure after all. It's more useful to use it at a critical moment. Even if this person sneaks into the inner layer, even if he wants to conceal himself, he won't take any action for a while. Please give me a little more time. I'll work with Chong Tingzhi to calculate again."
Wu Qingxu seemed to be persuaded this time. He pondered for a moment and looked at the field. Finally, he looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, what do you think?"
