A day later, at the peak of Mount Qi in Dongting Xuanfu.
Zhang Yu stood in front of the observatory with his sleeves behind his back. Xiang Chun stood behind him and reported, "Head Xuan, all the master craftsmen and master craftsmen, including Master Craftsman Guo, have been rescued. None of them are missing. However, more than 50 of their guards have been killed. The casualties are very heavy. "
Xiang Chun's tone was heavy. Although the master craftsmen and master craftsmen did not suffer any losses, the armored guards were also people from the Ministry of Heavenly War. More than 50 people were killed or injured in a surprise attack. This was definitely not a small matter.
Chen Song said, "Head Xuan, this subordinate has already investigated clearly. The two true cultivators who were originally protecting the master craftsmen were the first to attack. They violently killed the master craftsmen driving the main ship, causing chaos. This caused the entire fleet of flying ships to be forced to stop. Not long after, the attack of those black-clothed men arrived. This matter must have been carefully planned. "
Zhang Yu also nodded. It was very difficult to attack a flying ship that was flying at high speed. It was almost impossible to ambush the flying ship in advance on the vast sea. How vast was the sea and the sky? Just a little bit was extremely far.
Moreover, the flying ships of the Ministry of Heavenly Works had strong defensive power. In addition, there were a large number of guards who could come out to protect them at any time. Under normal circumstances, it would not be so easy to be stopped.
However, if there was someone on the inside cooperating with them, then it would make sense.
Chen Song continued, "The first to attack was a true cultivator named Mi Hai. He originally wanted to knock out a Xuanxiu disciple who was following the boat fleet. This way, he could cut off the connection between Xuntian Dao Zhang and not be seen as an accident. However, he did not expect that this disciple had a magic tool that was given to him by a fellow Daoist. After he was attacked, he was able to send out a simple warning signal immediately.
The other True Cultivator was called Wen Qi. He attacked the Master Craftsmen first, but his cabin was separated from the Master Craftsmen's. The guards were very vigilant and blocked his attack in time, so he didn't succeed. "
He paused for a moment. "And this subordinate has seen that both of them show signs of having their minds controlled. We suspect that it is very likely that the two of them were already affected when they set off from Yujing."
Zhang Yu asked, "Where are the two of them now?"
Xiang Chun said, "Wen Qi is still unconscious. He has been sent to Xuanfu's town hall. Mi Hai's body has been found. It seems that he committed suicide."
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, then with a thought, a talisman appeared in front of him out of thin air. He said, "Senior Martial Brother Chen, take this to wake Wen Qi up and ask him what happened."
Chen Song took the talisman and cupped his hands. "Head Xuan, this subordinate will go and wake him up now." He bowed, then turned and went down Qi Mountain.
At this time, Xiang Chun took two steps forward and said in a deep voice, "Head Xuan, from the pottery shards that Junior Martial Brother Chen brought back, most of the people who attacked the boat team used supernatural powers to turn clay into humans. Only one of them had a body of flesh and blood. However, he was only possessed by a supernatural power and was just an aboriginal. These people are very similar to the Spirit Recovery Society that Head Xuan once mentioned. "
Zhang Yu said, "It is indeed the Spirit Recovery Society's way. I have my own considerations. Senior Martial Brother Xiang, go and appease the people from the Ministry of Heavenly Works for me. Also, we need to be more vigilant in the next few days. Since this person has made such a big scene, he will not give up. "
Xiang Chun solemnly replied, "Yes, this subordinate will remember." He bowed, then turned and went down the mountain peak.
Zhang Yu looked up at the vast sea outside Dan Port. Although he was only standing there, his senses covered the entire Protectorate. If there were any changes, he would immediately know.
However, under normal circumstances, he would not make a move. Otherwise, Head Xuan alone would be able to take care of everything. There would be no need for anyone else.
However, if he really did so, it would not be beneficial to the progress of the Eastern Court Prefecture. It would also be detrimental to the improvement of the entire civilization.
As the Protector, unless he encountered a great enemy of the same level or encountered a natural disaster, he would not use his own power to protect the people.
However, the attack on the sea this time had already exceeded the range of his clone's senses.
He was the one who released the sword light that killed the black-clothed people. Therefore, he knew at that time that these people were mostly made of clay. It was very obvious that this was the Spirit Recovery Society's doing.
Although the Spirit Recovery Society also existed in Tianxia, it appeared most often in the Eastern Court Prefecture. Without a doubt, this was the foundation of the Spirit Recovery Society.
On the surface, it was very likely that the Spirit Recovery Society's incident in the Eastern Court had made this person realize that his existence was under threat. Therefore, he came up with something to delay or destroy the Spirit Recovery Society's incident.
In fact, this person had almost succeeded in this operation. If that Xuanxiu disciple had not brought along a protective Dharma Artifact, Master Guo and the others might have been killed silently.
However, this person had also guessed wrong.
The matter of raising the Residence Hall was a major plan that Xuan Ting had decided on. Even if all the members of the Ministry of Heavenly Works were killed this time, they would not change their plans halfway. On the contrary, it would only strengthen Xuan Ting's resolve.
While he was thinking, Chen Song walked up again. He bowed and said, "Head Xuan, I've already asked clearly. According to Wen Qi's memories, he indeed fell into a trap before he set out. However, he is also at a loss as to how he fell into it. If this is the case, the problem is very likely to be in Yujing or Yikong Shang Continent."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. He said, "How did these two people become the Ministry of Works' entourage this time?"
This matter was actually not so simple. Just now, when the Fu paper had restored Wen Qi's consciousness, he felt that this person's trap had been planted a long time ago, at least forty to fifty years ago.
Judging from this person's age, he must have fallen into the trap when his cultivation was still weak. After that, he would be repeatedly influenced by others after a period of time. Because he had long been accustomed to it, even when his cultivation reached a high level, he did not notice anything wrong.
Although he did not know what happened to Mi Hai, it was very likely that it was the same.
Chen Song said, "I've already asked in detail. The Ministry of Works' entourage is usually selected from the many cultivators guarding Yujing. Mi Hai is not a guard. He is not famous and usually guards the Wilderness Outpost all year round. However, this time, Mi Hai has a good relationship with an official from the Ministry of Works who is in charge of this matter. He recommended himself, and the official did not give him face. In addition, there were a large number of armored guards accompanying him, so he was allowed to board the flying boat.
As for Wen Qi, he was a guard for a while. Later, he retired because of injury and was also guarding the Wilderness Outpost. He and Mi Hai knew each other because of this. This time, it was through his recommendation that they could go together. "
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly. Judging from the two's behavior, they usually stayed away from Yujing. This was very likely done deliberately by the person behind the scenes in order to prevent Xuan Zun, the guard, from discovering the abnormality of these two people.
Then, the person or force who made the arrangements for these two people was the key.
He did not ask someone to call Wen Qi over for questioning. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and sensed this person's location. He sent a thought to ask his heart.
After a while, he opened his eyes, but he had already obtained the answer from the other person.
He said, "Senior Brother Chen, don't spread this matter. Let Fellow Daoist Wen rest in Xuanfu first."
Chen Song immediately understood his meaning and replied, "I understand." Seeing that Zhang Yu had nothing else to say, he bowed and left.
After he left, Zhang Yu returned to the cave. Inside the spacious cave, there was a spring running down one side. Tens of thousands of water droplets gathered into a mist and danced in the air. It was only a waterfall of three feet long, but it had the momentum of a rushing river.
He sat down by the waterfall and waved his sleeve. He spread out a Xuan script paper on the table. He picked up the brush and wrote three documents. Then, he took out the Xuan seal and stamped it. He then looked up at the sky. After a while, a golden light fell and covered the three Xuan script papers. When the light faded, Shouzheng's seal had already fallen on them.
With a turn of his mind, the three Xuan script papers instantly folded into three documents. He then flicked his finger and the three documents floated in the air. They turned into three rays of golden light and flew out of the cave. In the blink of an eye, they were out of the eastern courtyard. Then, they crossed the sea and the ocean and flew towards the mainland of Tianxia.
Since he had already ascertained that the problem originated from the Jade Capital and that it happened on the bodies of true cultivators, this was ultimately related to the three guardians. There was no need for him to investigate in detail and he could just let the three of them handle it themselves.
This could be considered as giving face to the three of them. If they couldn't handle it properly or tried to shirk responsibility, then they shouldn't blame him, the Xuanting Shouzheng, for intervening.
Yujing, Zenith Peak.
Daoist Yuhang was dressed in a white robe and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. He was sitting cross-legged on the shining mountain peak. His entire body was enveloped by a layer of clear light, and above his head was the huge crack in the sky.
At this moment, he sensed something and turned to look. He saw a ray of golden light flying towards him from the east.
He raised his horsetail whisk and gently waved it. The golden light turned and turned into a letter that floated onto the table in front of him. He reached out to read it and couldn't help but say in surprise, "There's such a thing?"
He muttered to himself for a moment. From the general description of the letter, this matter was indeed a mistake in Yujing.
Although he had been Zhang Yu's opponent, when it came to this kind of official business, he wouldn't mix his thoughts with it. Especially when it involved the lives of the Ministry of Heavenly Works' masters and dozens of people. Although he didn't really care about these people, he couldn't pretend that he didn't see them on the outside.
From the letter, it could be seen that before Wen Qi and Mi Hai fell into the trap, he hadn't assumed the position of Guardian. Even if there was a mistake in this matter, it most likely had nothing to do with him. But now that he was sitting in this position, he had to give an explanation.
He immediately called out, "Come."
A disciple heard the call and walked over. He bowed and said, "Teacher, what orders do you have?"
Daoist Yuhang handed over the letter and said, "Go and investigate who exactly these two people are under."
The disciple took the letter and looked it over. He asked cautiously, "Teacher, what if this matter involves Baizhen Mountain or the Glass Jade Heavenly Palace?"
Daoist Yuhang smiled and said, "Go ahead and investigate. Right now, I'm not the only one who received that letter."
