After Zhang Yu pointed his finger, Daoist Guo's body shook and his head jerked backward. The divine Qi in his body trembled and he fell into a trance. The Qi that had been floating just now was suppressed once again.
At this moment, he heard the sound of chains. Then, he saw a light chain full of Taoist talismans flying out. It circled a few times in the air and bound him tightly.
"Dragon Binding Chains …"
Taoist Guo's expression turned ashen.
He knew that he could not escape this time.
Originally, he had a substitution method. As long as he got out of the chaotic land and arrived at the Clear Sky Land, he could use the incarnation placed outside to switch with his main body and get himself out. Then, the incarnation hidden in the inner layer would continue to receive him and escape from this place.
After that, whether to go to the outer layer or escape to the Wilderness could be considered at that time.
However, once the chains were on his body, all kinds of mana and supernatural powers could not reach him. He could only rely on his own strength to break the chains. Only then could he escape.
However, the problem was that this chain was specially made to bind a real dragon. Although his physical body was not weak, his strength was still slightly inferior to a real dragon's. There was no way he could break free.
His eyes were full of unwillingness. He still had various supernatural powers and Taoist techniques, as well as many secret refined instruments and even mysteries that he had not used. However, because he was defeated in a single exchange, he could not display his abilities at all.
Zhang Yu looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking. If he really opened up his stance and decided to fight head-on, he could still fight the battle just now. With his home advantage, it would not be easy for him to win.
However, this person's mana was weaker than him. He had room to use his Word Seal. Under his Word Seal that was raised by one level using the Heavenly Mystery, he directly crushed this person.
However, among all the Xuan Zun he had seen, this person's mana was probably only slightly higher than Su Er's. This did not match his identity.
How long had Su Er attained Dao? Only forty to fifty years.
However, this person had cultivated for more than a thousand years.
He looked at the Daoist and said, "You are also a senior cultivator, but your mana is too weak."
At this point, Daoist Guo no longer concealed anything. He said coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that I've diverted a portion of my mana to the outside world due to my cultivation method, how could I have been so easily manipulated by you?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder you couldn't establish a dojo."
In truth, for a cultivator as experienced in battle as Daoist Guo, even if his transcendence energy was slightly weaker, he would still be able to hold his own on his home turf. This was because his other strengths were enough to make up for his shortcomings.
However, even if this person's mana was at its peak, it might not be able to defeat his Word Seal Technique that had been activated by the mysteries of the heavens. The result would still be the same.
These Daoist seniors had cultivated purely on their own for hundreds of years, but without the nourishment of mystical grains, they would gradually lose to the Daoist cultivators who came out to preside over affairs as time passed.
In reality, in Gu Xia's era, hundreds of years really wasn't considered long. When a Daoist cultivator reached the level of Xuan Zun, which was the level of the Immortal Soul, they would need to cultivate for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
However, the current Tianxia was different from Gu Xia after all.
He stretched out his hand and with the sound of chains, Daoist Guo was directly dragged up. Outside his body, the light of his heart shone, splitting open the chaos and finding his way back. Very quickly, he returned to Qingqiong Land from this place.
Daoist Ming Zhou was waiting outside. When he saw Zhang Yu dragging the tied-up Daoist Guo out of the chaos, he went up to them. He glanced at Daoist Guo and said, "Shouzheng, Xuan Zun, this is …"
Zhang Yu said, "This Xuan Zun is the mastermind behind this attack on the Ministry of Heavenly Works." He shook his sleeves and a golden talisman flew out, "The evidence is all here. I'll have to trouble you to send it over on my behalf."
He gathered a few main pieces of evidence together. In addition to Guo Qian Xun's personal confession, it was enough to prove that this person was the mastermind.
Daoist Ming Zhou kept it and bowed, disappearing without a trace.
Zhang Yu waited in the same place. After ten breaths, he saw the side of the world suddenly melt away and Wu Qingxu walked out from it.
He bowed and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, I've looked at the evidence in detail. The perpetrator this time is undoubtedly Guo Qian Xun. Just hand this person over to me."
Zhang Yu bowed and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Deacon Wu."
Guo Qian Xun had been silent and pretended to be dead. However, at this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yu coldly, "Zhang Shouzheng, although I'm imprisoned today, you just wait and see. I'll be released sooner or later. When that time comes, I'll see how you regret it."
Zhang Yu looked at him calmly. There was no need for him to argue with a lowly prisoner. When he became a court administrator, he would naturally think of a way to change part of the law so that this person would never be able to escape again.
Wu Qingxu took the Dragon Binding Chains and pulled, interrupting Guo Qian Xun who was about to say something. Then, he stepped into the door that melted away and returned.
Daoist Ming Zhou saw that nothing happened and also bowed and left.
After they left, Zhang Yu stood alone on the boundless plain. He looked at the ground that was covered with flower petals and the marvelous scenery of the sea of clouds on the distant mountains.
He didn't know why Guo Qian Xun did this. However, as he said, Guo Qian Xun didn't object when Xuanting was discussing. It was obvious that he knew that it was useless to object.
Therefore, Xuanting most likely knew the reason behind this. Perhaps this was related to the matter that Daoist Yu Su mentioned. However, Xuanting didn't stop because of this. He must know that even if there was a problem, he could deal with it.
However, from Guo Qian Xun's words and actions, it could be seen that some Daoist cultivators who had attained Dao long ago didn't really accept the set of rules in Tianxia even though they were in Tianxia. It was just that they were afraid of Tianxia's power and weren't willing to give up the benefits here. Therefore, they had no choice but to accept it temporarily.
However, if they encountered something that didn't conform to their wishes or had a strong conflict of interests, they would unconsciously pick up the old way of doing things.
This was because the past of these Daoist cultivators and their cognition were formed during the Ancient Xia era. If they didn't really abandon it, it wouldn't be easy to change it. When Zhengqing's sect was promoting the rise of the Zhen Sect and the destruction of the Xuan Sect, it was not without reason that they could create such a big commotion. There were even many people who agreed with them.
Now, some Xuan Zun cultivators didn't come out. On one hand, it was their choice. On the other hand, it was also Xuanting's intention.
However, the group of Daoist cultivators who had been cultivating for the longest time was actually in Shangchen. These people were also the group of people who were the most incompatible with Tianxia's Dao. Among them, there were many who had cultivated for more than ten thousand years. They still maintained the structure of Ancient Xia and didn't forget to occupy the inner layer at all times.
As for the people in You City, in fact, most of them weren't interested in restoring the structure of Ancient Xia. They just didn't want to be bound by the rules. They didn't even want to follow the rules of Ancient Xia, so they weren't liked by both sides.
However, because there was a powerful person above You City, and the power could occasionally be used by Shangchen, this force could continue to exist.
From the perspective of several parties, not to mention You City, there was absolutely no room for negotiation between Shangchen and Tianxia.
He remembered that after the last invasion, Shangchen hadn't made any moves for a long time. However, there was no doubt that they were preparing for something. Especially after Tianxia used the Clear Sky Astrolabe, the monitoring force was reduced a lot. This person would definitely seize this opportunity.
As the Shouzheng of Xuanting, he first had to ensure that Tianxia didn't expose more loopholes.
Thinking of this, his heart moved slightly. He turned his mind and looked at the visualization map that was still in the Mortal World.
These days, Xuan Hun Chan continued to follow the traces left by Taoist Bi Ming and found that Bi Ming walked and stopped on the road. It seemed that he was fighting with the EsGods and monsters on the ground.
However, this also left more traces. This person also stayed on an arched mountain for a long time.
This was actually not a mountain, but a huge rib of something unknown. It was full of teeth and ridges. If inferred from this, it should be an extremely huge monster when it was alive.
At the level of Xuan Zun, a big body wasn't really useful. The key was the strength and the control of the strength. However, this monster was different. There were Taoist talismans faintly carved on the bones. It was probably an alien cultivator from Tianxia, but he couldn't see what it was. He could only think that it was from a much older era.
Bi Ming stayed here for at least half a year before he left. At this moment, he could feel that he was not far from tracking down the real whereabouts of this person.
In the outer void, on a broken meteorite belt, Jin Zhixing's incarnation was standing on a lotus. Opposite him stood Hunkong Laozu.
Hunkong Laozu said in surprise, "Kim Daoist, are you really willing to come to Shangchen?"
Jin Zhixing said, "Of course. Xian Ding has been distrustful of me recently. I have to leave early."
Hunkong Laozu said, "Even so, Kim Daoist doesn't necessarily need to escape. With the situation in You City, he definitely won't dare to do anything to you. Otherwise, everyone will be in danger. I'm afraid that You City won't be able to survive."
Jin Zhixing said, "Xian Ding won't dare to do anything to me openly, but he has many ways to deal with me. For example, he can secretly leak my location to Tianxia or Shangchen to force me to submit."
Hunkong Laozu found it unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was reasonable. This kind of thing was very normal in You City.
He said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but Fellow Daoist is a reckless cultivator. If You City is still there, you'll still have a place. But if you come to Shangchen, with Fellow Daoist Xuan Zun's prestige, although no one will make things difficult for you, you'll inevitably be despised."
Jin Zhixing said calmly, "Then I won't go to Shangchen."
Hunkong Laozu looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"
Jin Zhixing said, "I know that You City has been planning to enter the inner layer recently. Fellow Daoist, you don't have to deny it. Kim only wants to ask, when the time comes, can you leave a door open for Kim? Kim believes that You City will also need someone to attract Tianxia's attention. If we cooperate, we'll both benefit, won't we? "
Hunkong Laozu looked at him for a moment and said in a low voice, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll pass on Fellow Daoist's words to other fellow Daoists. There will be a reply later."
