Within the Shouzheng Palace, Zhang Yu received a letter from Qiong Ying. This was three days after his avatar sent out the golden letter.
Qiong Ying had explained to him in the letter that Yan Ziquan was only a disciple of the Glazed Jade Heavenly Palace, not her disciple. Moreover, this person had been able to hide for so long without her noticing, so he must have used some kind of method to conceal himself.
She said that she had already given him a magic tool and sent her disciple Meng Mingzhen to chase after Yan Ziquan, but she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to find him.
There weren't many words in the letter, but Zhang Yu understood what Qiong Ying was trying to say after reading it.
She believed that although she was responsible, she couldn't put all the blame on herself because she had to pay attention to the rifts in the sky every day to guard against the cultivators and evil gods that could invade the inner layer at any time. How could she have the time to care about such trivial matters? Not to mention that there might be other powerful figures involved in this matter, so it would be even harder for her to notice.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. Although Qiong Ying was trying to make excuses for herself, her logic wasn't completely wrong.
The main responsibility of the three guardians of Xuan Zun was to defend against the three rifts in the sky. However, because of the existence of the Yujing Imperial Palace, there was no Xuanfu, so the cultivators around Yujing were also deployed by the three of them.
After many cultivators had rendered enough meritorious services, the three Principal Guardians would be allowed to join their respective sects and take part in the management of the other cultivators.
This way, it would be convenient for these cultivators to travel or communicate with each other in the future. Their status would also rise significantly, which could be considered a kind of reward.
However, it was this loophole that allowed others to take advantage of it.
One had to know that there were three rifts above Yujing. Any accident that happened here could cause great trouble in the future. In order to prevent this from happening, they had to find a way to increase surveillance and set up a position similar to Shouzheng in Yujing.
Although he wasn't a court steward, he could use the identity of Shouzheng to send a letter to Xuanting and use this as an opportunity to request for such a position.
As for the other, he had to think of a way to prevent something like this from happening again.
He could see that it was probably because the three guardians were true cultivators that the Jade Capital chose to protect the cultivators that were true cultivators. The Xuanxiu disciple who accompanied them this time was purely used as a communication tool. The boat crew did not pay much attention to him.
But in reality, if it weren't for this Xuanxiu disciple, it would have taken a long time for the ambush to be discovered. But if there had been several Xuanxiu with him at the time, perhaps the other party wouldn't have dared to act so rashly.
When he came down, he requested that every boat that crossed the sea must be accompanied by two or more Xuanxiu to ensure smooth communication. At the same time, he would also send Xuanxiu to patrol along the way, so that if they encountered danger, they could provide timely assistance.
After making up his mind, he took a pen and paper and wrote a letter in a flash. Then, he called out, "Fellow Daoist Ming Zhou."
Daoist Ming Zhou appeared at the bottom of the stairs and said, "Shouzheng, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Yu waved his sleeve and the letter floated down. He said, "Fellow Daoist Ming Zhou, please deliver this letter to the court on my behalf."
Solemnly, Daoist Ming Zhou took the letter and said, "Ming Zhou will deliver the letter in a moment."
Zhang Yu nodded. After Ming Zhou left, his mind turned and landed on his own visualization diagram. Now, the Mysterious Chaotic Cicada was still searching for Bi Ming's whereabouts in the Wilderness.
Bi Ming seemed to be looking for something as well. His journey could be said to be erratic. Moreover, it had been a long time. Sometimes, the traces would disappear and it would take a while to find it again. It was not easy to track him down.
However, until now, he had not found anything. However, where this person was now, whether he was alive or dead, this had to be confirmed. As long as the clues were not completely cut off, he would continue to search.
At this time, there was a flurry of discussion in the Heaven Taming Dao Chapter. The Ministry of Heavenly Works' craftsmen had been ambushed in the Eastern Court, and more than fifty of them had been killed or injured. This was originally a secret, but somehow, the news had leaked out and quickly spread everywhere.
Right now, the thirteen continents were transferring large amounts of local population to the four protectorates. At the same time, many cultivators were going to the Xuanfu. In addition, the four protectorates all chose to establish a new province. A large amount of manpower and resources were needed here. It was not an exaggeration to say that hundreds of millions of people were involved. Therefore, when such a thing happened, it was easy to attract attention.
Yue Luo finished her homework and just as she entered the Xuntian Dao Zhang, she heard Ding Ying shouting: "Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, quickly look at the recent message. Everyone heard that something happened to the Ministry of Heavenly Works' craftsmen.
Several flying boats, more than four hundred people, including more than three hundred guards, and more than ten cultivators are missing. They are suspected to have died in the ocean. Didn't you say that they might go to the East Court? I feel that it is very dangerous there. "
Yue Luo followed her finger and looked at the message. After reading it, she was shocked: "How could this be?"
Ding Ying worriedly persuaded her: "Xiao Luo, the East Court is very dangerous, you shouldn't go."
Yue Luo hesitated for a moment, but she quickly became determined: "No, I still want to go."
At this time, a male cultivator's voice came: "Daoist Yue, you want to go to the East Court? Let's wait and see what happens. I heard from a few friends that I know that if this kind of thing happens once, it will happen again. If we go now, it's very likely that we'll be targeted by those people. "
Another male cultivator agreed, "That's right. Actually, I think it's best if you don't go. That place is so far away and so dangerous. Anyway, no one is forcing you, so why make life difficult for your own family? Everything will be taken care of by those powerful cultivators first. We should just protect ourselves first."
Yue Luo was suddenly a little angry. "How can we, the cultivators of Tianxia, shrink back in the face of danger? The more dangerous it is, the more we are needed. If we hide wherever it is safe, then what is the point of having us? "
Ding Ying quickly comforted her: "Xiao Luo, we are not advising you to back away. It is just that our cultivation is too low. Master once said that if your cultivation is not high enough, you shouldn't force yourself to do things. You will be letting yourself down and also letting down your master. The current situation is not something you can handle. You should go later."
Their discussion here also attracted others to join in, but they all advised her not to go. Even if she wanted to go, she had to wait, because there would be more similar things happening.
Yue Luo bit her lip. Now, in this "mysterious" seal, she and several people had established a light curtain to communicate with each other. In addition to An Ran, Ding Ying, Ding Ying, and Xiao Xiao, these few good friends, many of the rest were people Ding Ying met at Ban Lan's hearing. There were both men and women, but now most of them did not support her view. She felt very helpless for a while.
At this time, she saw the peach seal on the corner also shining there. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "Senior, what do you think will happen after this matter?"
Gan Bai sneered and said: "This generation will bring about their own destruction."
Yue Luo thought for a moment before she understood that Gan Bai was talking about the attackers. She curiously asked: "Senior, why?"
Gan Bai said: "This newly established Dongting Prefecture is guarded by the head of the Xuan family. If they do something under the eyes of the head of the Xuan family, isn't that bringing about their own destruction?"
The two people didn't hide their conversation from the others. Ding Ying was somewhat unconvinced: "Even if it's Xuan Zun, in the face of the boundless ocean, he can't do anything, right?"
Another male cultivator also came out and said: "I think Fellow Daoist Ding is right. Xuan Zun can't know everything. If Xuan Zun is really so powerful, he would have found out when the airship team was in trouble. Why would he need to go back and look for it?"
Gan Bai snorted and said: "Junior is ignorant. There are so many important things in the whole Tianxia. Is it worth Xuan Zun to pay attention to a few airships of the Ministry of Works? Bring a few more Xuanxiu with you and everything will be fine. "
He couldn't be bothered to argue with a few juniors. In his opinion, it was too low to talk about these things. They weren't talking about Taoism, so it was meaningless to win the argument. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he turned away.
Yue Luo was encouraged. She thanked him: "Thank you, senior!" She seemed to be encouraging herself, but also seemed to be announcing to everyone: "I've decided. The original plan won't change. We'll set off for Dongting next month!"
At the same time, on the outer sea.
After Meng Jianzhen left the mainland, she had been circling the sea for several days. She followed the guidance of the Hunsu Scroll to track Yan Ziquan's whereabouts. Every time the scroll appeared, a boundless ocean would appear.
Although the chances of finding him were slim, it was still a clue. However, the pattern on the Hunsu Scroll was very clear at first, but it gradually faded and became more and more blurry.
To find someone with this object, both parties must be connected by fate. For example, Yan Ziquan had once been a disciple of the Glass Jade Heavenly Palace. Therefore, there must be some connection between them. The Hunsu Scroll could show the general location of Yan Ziquan. Even if the Heavenly Mystery was concealed, it couldn't hide everything.
However, if one party wanted to avoid this connection, then the Heavenly Mystery would become thinner and thinner until there was nothing left.
After that, she circled the sea for more than ten days, but still found nothing. The image on the Hunsu Scroll had completely disappeared. In the end, she only saw that the other party seemed to be in a cave. However, this clue was really confusing. She didn't even know if the other party had returned to the mainland.
However, she was very unwilling to go back just like that.
She thought about it. Although the Glass Jade Heavenly Palace's many connections with this person had been exhausted, there was still one more way to try.
It wasn't hard to guess that Mi Hai and Wen Qi were killed by Yan Ziquan. There was an obvious connection between the three of them. Although Mi Hai was dead, Wen Qi was said to still be in Dongting. If she could use this connection, she might be able to try to find Yan Ziquan again.
After making up her mind, she urged the little cloud boat to go to Dongting Prefecture.
