Inside the training hall, Zhang Yu was flipping through the reports that had been sent to him recently.
Ever since the invasion of the inner layer, many EsGods had been awakened. Now, they had all been eliminated. However, there were still some EsGods that were not of a high level that had been awakened. Most of them had escaped into the wilderness.
Although these people did not have the ability to open the door to the inner layer, it was hard to say if there would be any changes after a long time. Therefore, when he ordered the various stations to patrol the cracks, they had to pay attention to these people.
After reading all this, he reached out and picked up the Shocking Heaven Sword that was on the table. He then carefully wiped it with his Heart Light.
After refining the three sword lights, he focused his attention on the Shocking Heaven Sword.
In the past, when he refined the Shocking Heaven Sword, it was to cooperate with the Cicada Cry Sword. However, it was different now. Battles at the level of Xuan Zun were mostly a competition of Heart Light mana and Dao techniques. Close combat was an extremely rare situation.
However, this did not mean that the Shocking Heaven Sword was useless. As a sword that he had personally refined, this sword could also carry the Absolute Slash Technique.
Although the Divine Sword Technique was born from the sword, it was still his own technique. It would not be useless just because he had changed to another sword or because this sword was damaged.
Even if he had changed to an unfamiliar sword, he would still be able to use it. At most, he would not be able to unleash its full power because the sword was different.
However, not being able to unleash its full power was also a flaw. Therefore, he wanted to make a choice. There was no need to constantly attack. Instead, he wanted to use it as a surprise attack.
In future battles, he was prepared to use the Cicada Cry Sword and the Sword Light Shadow to attack head-on. Meanwhile, the Shocking Heaven Sword would be hidden at the side, accumulating sword power with the Absolute Slash Technique. When he saw an opportunity, he would attack with the sword, putting all the power he had accumulated into this attack.
This method was just like the time he used the Void Calamity Bead to ambush one side. It was just like what was said in the art of war, "Win with a surprise attack". If everything went well, he could decide victory with a single move.
Hence, he started to nurture his aura and hid it within the Shocking Heaven Sword. He wouldn't use it easily, but once he did, it would break through the clouds.
After recuperating for a few days, he suddenly felt something in his mind. He looked around and found that it was his disciple, Yan Yuming, who was looking for him with Xuntian Dao Zhang. So he replied, "Yuming, what's the matter?"
Yan Yuming's respectful voice rang out, "This student has disturbed teacher. Teacher, Chief Xiang Xuan is going to submit a memorial to the Xuanting Court to promote the Dongting Protectorate to a prefecture. He wants us to sign our names as well. However, this student does not know if this is appropriate …"
He knew that this was not a trivial matter. If he was an ordinary Xuanfu disciple, then it would not matter if he had a name. However, he also had the identity of being Zhang Yu's student. He had to be careful in his actions, for fear of causing trouble for his teacher.
Zhang Yu: "I got it. You don't have to worry too much. Just give me your name."
Yan Yuming breathed a sigh of relief and said energetically, "Yes, Teacher!"
After asking a few questions about his cultivation progress, Zhang Yu cut off all ties with him. He thought for a while. Xiang Chun was very cautious. He did not rashly come to find him, but had his disciple sign his name. At the same time, he used this opportunity to ask for his opinion. Thus, there was no need for a direct conversation between the two.
In truth, there was nothing to hide about this matter. As the Xuan Zun, even if he publicly supported the Dongting Protectorate, no one would say anything. However, there was nothing wrong with this method. It was especially at a time like this that he had to be more careful.
The Dongting Protectorate seemed to have all the conditions to promote a prefecture, but they could not sit back and relax. Putting everything else aside, if someone in the Protectorate were to intentionally stir up trouble, then the Xuanting might take it off the original list.
He also intended to help the Protectorate, but he was not in a hurry. This involved many aspects. The Xuanting needed to consider the overall situation, and he also needed to listen to the opinions of the Tianxia Protectorate and the other prefectures. This was not something that could be decided in a short period of time.
After thinking, he once again focused on the Shocking Heaven Sword and continued to accumulate sword energy.
Inner prefecture, Yujing.
After Yang Ying came out of the Su Residence, she boarded the flying boat again. She was still thinking about the scene just now.
She did not succeed in meeting Elder Su. Instead, it was one of Su Qian's brothers, Su Xiao, who received her. Su Xiao told her that the Su Clan would help in this matter, but at the same time, he tactfully said that this matter could only be tried. He could not guarantee anything.
In truth, she was already very satisfied with the Su Clan's willingness to help. After all, this was only Su Qian's friendship. It was impossible for the Su Clan to do all they could to help.
At this moment, the girl wearing glasses beside her asked, "Captain Wei, where are we going?
Yang Ying thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Lingyun Platform first."
In the past few years of studying in Yujing, she had met many disciples of influential families. These people usually interacted with each other at the Lingyun Platform.
These people did not have any power, but the power behind them was not small. The relationship between them was also intricate. In fact, she did not expect these people to be of any help in the Protectorate. She just wanted to maintain a good relationship with them so that they would not come out and ruin things at the critical moment.
The flying boat flew for a while. After bypassing a high platform, a jade platform suspended in the clouds appeared in front of them.
This was a trapezoid-shaped platform, and below it was a funnel-shaped platform. Inside, a small phoenix with gorgeous feathers could be seen flying back and forth. This was the Dragon Sparrow, and the hill-like place was the place where these creatures lived. They were not created. When Tianxia first came to this world, he brought them with him.
As the flying boat gradually approached, a Dragon Sparrow flew out and chirped a few times at the flying boat. The flying boat followed it and entered the Lingyun Platform, landing on a mooring platform.
After Yang Ying walked out of the flying boat, she threw up a pill that she had already prepared. The Dragon Sparrow bent its neck and caught it. It raised its head and swallowed it. Then, with a chirp, it flapped its wings and flew out. In the blink of an eye, it flew out along an oval wall that connected to the outside.
Yang Ying left her guards here. She led Jia Yue and the girl with glasses up the internal stairs. When they reached the end, the jade door at the bottom slowly moved outwards.
She looked inside. At this moment, she was in an outer corridor. In front of her was a wide staircase that led downwards. On both sides of the staircase stood a row of female attendants dressed in elegant dresses. When they saw her appear, they all curtsied and bowed.
Looking through the glass jade wall in the distance, what appeared in front of her was a luxurious, elegant, and magnificent hall. She could see that there were men and women in luxurious clothes talking in twos and threes.
She was about to step inside. At this time, Jia Yue suddenly said, "Be careful!"
As she spoke, a ring of light spread out from her body. Then, the Dragon Sparrow that had left just now suddenly rushed over silently and bumped into the ring of light. However, it was unable to shake it at all. The Dragon Sparrow turned around and used its sharp beak to peck at it a few times. When it realized that it was useless, it flew away with a long cry.
Jia Yue retracted her ring of light and protected Yang Ying behind her. She said, "There's something wrong with this Dragon Sparrow."
The girl with glasses immediately reacted and said, "Wei Wei, there's something wrong with the pill we bought yesterday."
Yang Ying was very calm. She thought for a moment and said, "It seems that someone has their eyes on us."
She glanced at the maids in front of her who were still lowering their heads. If she had been bumped into by the Dragon Sparrow just now, she would have been in an extremely difficult situation.
Although this method couldn't hurt her, it was very disgusting. She would also be looked down upon by others. Because she was the Wei Wei of the Protectorate General and controlled the personal guards of the Governor, if she couldn't even protect herself, she would definitely become a joke if news of this spread.
At this time, Jia Yue reminded her, "Wei Wei, there are already people here who are targeting you. If they continue to use other methods against you, I may not be able to stop them all. I suggest that you ask Xuanfu for mercy and let Xuanfu send people with higher cultivation to protect you."
Yang Ying thought for a moment. Yujing was a place where there were many dignitaries. In addition, there were three Xuan Zun in charge, and there was also a Xuan Zun in charge of Yikong Shangzhou. Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble here.
However, the matter just now reminded her that although the other party couldn't do anything to her, it wasn't difficult to use some disgusting methods. Moreover, there might be Daoist cultivators behind this matter.
The methods of Daoist cultivators could be said to be impossible to guard against. Even a simple trick could cause her to fall into a trap. Jia Yue was a junior cultivator. In Yujing, where Daoists were as common as clouds, she was really nothing.
She said, "Sister Jia Yue, you're right. We can't not guard against this matter." She glanced at the magnificent hall in front of her and didn't intend to go in again. Instead, she said, "Let's go back."
The girl wearing glasses said, "Wei Wei, even if we leave now, they can still use this matter to make an issue out of it. For example, they can say that Wei Wei was scared away by a sparrow and use this to make fun of Wei Wei. It's very likely that they will use this to further slander the Protectorate General."
Yang Ying said, "I know."
She had been here for a few years and had never encountered such a matter. It could be imagined that the people targeting her must be related to the Protectorate General's Sheng Zhou. However, she knew that there was a trap in front of her, so she naturally wouldn't step into it. Moreover, it wasn't impossible to resolve this matter.
She said, "Let's go to a place first." As she spoke, she turned and walked out.
Jia Yue and the girl wearing glasses looked at each other and followed her out.
They returned to the berth and boarded the flying boat again. Then, under Yang Ying's signal, they flew towards the south.
After flying for a while, Jia Yue sensed something and looked towards the sky. In the distance, she saw a crack in the sky. It was as if the sky had been torn open, and colorful clouds and clouds were leaking through it.
At the bottom of the fissure, one could see a Dao Palace floating in the sky. It was supported by a rainbow of multicolored light and colorful mist.
Jia Yue said in surprise, "This is … the Glazed Jade Heavenly Palace?"
Although she had never been here before, it wasn't difficult for her to recognize that this was the Daoist palace of one of the three Xuan Zun who guarded Yujing, Qiongying Xuan Zun.
At this moment, a light flashed and a young Daoist appeared in front of the flying boat. He blocked the way and said coldly, "This is the territory of the Glazed Jade Heavenly Palace. If you don't have a pass talisman, you can't take another step forward!"
Yang Ying stood up from the main seat. She raised her hand and the cabin wall in front of the flying boat melted away. She took out a teardrop-shaped scarlet jade from her military uniform and held it up. She raised her hand and showed it to the young Daoist.
When the young Daoist saw the jade, his originally cold attitude was somewhat restrained. He looked at her and said, "May I ask why this virtuous lady is here?"
Yang Ying took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to find Meng Jianzhen, Meng Daoxiu. Please tell her that my name is Yang Ying and I'm Mr. Zhang's student. I'm here to visit her."
