The Daoist turned around and saw a ray of starlight flying from the side. He looked carefully and found that the starlight was a shining Xuanhun Cicada. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He naturally understood the meaning of the Xuanhun Cicada, but he soon found that this Xuanhun Cicada was not a transformation, but a natural one.
This Xuanhun Cicada looked incomparably beautiful. When it flew, its wings left a trail of stardust wherever it passed. The cicada's body contained an amazing power.
He could feel that the power was somewhat similar to the Primordial Spirit of a cultivator, but it was somewhat specious. He couldn't help but ponder.
He didn't know the purpose of the other party, but he was very cautious. He slowly stood up from the head of the strange bird. His body was suffused with clouds of green and red mist, showing a vigilant attitude.
After the Xuanhun Cicada flew closer, it didn't continue to come up. Its body emitted a burst of bright light, and then a grand clear light expanded, illuminating half of the Wilderness.
In the clear light, a young Daoist who was shrouded in jade mist and starlight stepped out. He raised his head slightly and looked at the Daoist with eyes that seemed to contain a nebula. He said, "Are you Daoist Bi Ming?"
The Daoist narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "I have left Tianxia for more than two hundred years. Forgive me for not recognizing you, but may I know who you are?"
From what he could sense, Zhang Yu was completely different from ordinary cultivators. He was somewhat similar to those cultivators who had converted to Hunzhang Dao. However, Hunzhang Dao's aura was dark and gloomy, while Zhang Yu's aura was grand. He thought to himself, 'Could it be that he's a Mystique Venerable who achieved Mystique through Mystique?'
It was not strange that he had this thought. When he left Tianxia, there was no Xuanxiu who achieved Xuan Zun, and he only heard that there was a Xuan Zun who specialized in Xuanzhang. However, he only saw it from afar and had never fought with it. He didn't know much about it.
Zhang Yu said calmly, "My name is Zhang Yu, and I am the current Xuanting Shouzheng."
"Xuanting Shouzheng?"
Hearing this, Daoist Bi Ming became even more vigilant. He said, "I wonder why Xuanting Shouzheng is looking for me? When I left Tianxia, it wasn't considered a betrayal, was it? How could I trouble Shouzheng to look for me? "
Although he said that, he was extremely vigilant in his heart.
He had left Tianxia for more than two hundred years and had also cultivated here for more than two hundred years. During this time, he had almost no contact with his fellow cultivators.
However, Zhang Yu was able to find this place. He must have put in a lot of effort to find him, and if he said that he did not have a purpose, he would not believe it.
Back then, Tianxia had allowed him to leave, but who knew what kind of rules he had now?
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Bi Ming, you must know Zhu Feng Xuan Zun?"
Daoist Bi Ming thought for a moment and reacted. He said, "I see. It seems that Zhang Shouzheng heard Fellow Daoist Zhu's words and found me?" He asked tentatively, "How is Fellow Daoist Zhu now?"
Zhang Yu said, "After Zhu Feng Xuan Zun parted with you, she found a place to sleep to reduce the consumption of her magical power and vitality. She slept for more than two hundred years until last year, when she was awakened by a letter from Shangchen."
"Shangchen?"
Daoist Bi Ming frowned and said cautiously, "Although Fellow Daoist Zhu Feng and I can be considered acquaintances, I didn't know that she had contact with the cultivators of Shangchen."
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu Feng owed someone in Shangchen a favor in the early years. Later, that person deliberately woke her up because he wanted to use her power to open a stable passage to the inner layer.
Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Zhu Feng was able to distinguish right from wrong. She didn't do as he asked, but secretly sent a message to Xuanting. That was how we were able to drive out the forces of Shangchen. Now, she has returned to Tianxia. "
When Daoist Bi Ming heard this, he knew what was going on.
Those people in Shangchen wanted to use Zhu Feng's favor to blackmail her into working for them. As for Zhu Feng's life, it was not within their scope of consideration.
But obviously, Zhu Feng was aware of this, so she didn't jump into the trap. Instead, she used some unknown method to send a message to Xuanting. Not only did she successfully avoid the disaster, but she also returned to Tianxia.
Now, he also understood why Zhang Yu came here. Since Zhu Feng could be used by those people in Shangchen, then what about him, a person who had escaped far away for more than two hundred years?
After all, his cultivation was still there, and he was still far away from the mainland. If he wanted to do something, Tianxia wouldn't be able to stop him.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Back then, the three of us came out together. Dare I ask Zhang Xuanzheng, how is Fellow Daoist Yuan Tong now?"
Zhang Yu said, "After Yuan Tong parted with the two of you, he returned to Tianxia. However, he went around killing the people of Tianxia to refine blood crystals. Later, he was killed by Zhangsun Tingzhi."
"Zhangsun Qian? Has he become a Tingzhi now? "
Daoist Bi Ming frowned, then shook his head and sighed. "Yuan Tong is an arrogant and unruly person. He won't submit to anyone, and I don't like him very much. If Fellow Daoist Zhu Feng didn't persuade me back then, I might have already fought with him. However, I'm not surprised that he did such a thing. “
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Bi Ming, I think you've already guessed that I came here today because Shangchen still hasn't given up on the plan to invade the inner layer. As the Shouzheng of Xuanting, I have to fix all the loopholes first.
Fellow Daoist Bi Ming, you're the only Xuan Zun outside of Tianxia, and we've been separated for more than two hundred years. We don't know if Fellow Daoist Bi Ming has been involved with the cultivators of the outer layer, so we came to find you to investigate this matter. "
Daoist Bi Ming shook his head and said, "I've been cultivating here alone all these years. I haven't had any contact with any cultivators of the outer layer, and I'm not interested in doing this."
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment and said, "I believe in Fellow Daoist Bi Ming, but sometimes, it's not Fellow Daoist who looks for trouble, it's Fellow Daoist who comes looking for trouble. When I came here, I specifically checked Fellow Daoist Bi Ming's past records. Fellow Daoist Bi Ming seems to have a good relationship with some cultivators of Shangchen. "
Daoist Bi Ming said cautiously, "Zhang Shouzheng, this doesn't mean anything, does it? Shangchen was originally separated from Tianxia, and there are indeed many Fellow Daoists in Tianxia who have a good relationship with Shangchen cultivators.
Other than the First Deacon who rarely interacts with others, like Chen Yu and Wu Qingxu, who hasn't interacted with cultivators of Shangchen before. "
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "But they're all Xuanting, and their every move is clearly seen by others."
Daoist Bi Ming was silent for a moment before he said, "Since I've left Tianxia, then the rules of Tianxia can't control me, right?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't you know what the situation was like back then? Tianxia only acquiesced to the three of you leaving, but it never said that the three of you weren't Tianxia's people.
As a Xuan Zun, Fellow Daoist should know that according to Tianxia's rules, even if you want to leave, you must first obtain the permission of Xuanting, and make an oath that you won't collude with foreign enemies and harm Tianxia. There's no such thing as abandoning your identity just because you said something. Otherwise, what if everyone imitates you?
Perhaps Fellow Daoist doesn't know, but when the three of you left, there was a court enforcer who wanted to arrest you and interrogate you. But at that time, he was persuaded by the chief enforcer, who thought that since the three of you didn't turn against Tianxia, and since you left to seek the Dao, there's no harm in treating you with tolerance. That's why he let the three of you leave calmly, but he never said that the three of you have left Tianxia. "
He looked at Daoist Bi Ming and said, "When Fellow Daoist saw me just now, you also said that you're not considered a traitor. It's clear that Fellow Daoist admits that you're still Tianxia's people. Since that's the case, you should be bound by Xuanting's rules. "
Daoist Bi Ming sighed and said, "I have my reasons for not returning."
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment before he said, "I know why Fellow Daoist Bi Ming is apprehensive. Presumably, Fellow Daoist Bi Ming is no longer in human form, right?"
Daoist Bi Ming's expression changed slightly.
Zhang Yu said, "Although Tianxia gave up a lot of outdated rules, it also inherited a lot of ancient laws, especially the one that forbids cultivators from cultivating the foreign kind."
Daoist Bi Ming sat there without saying anything, but the look in his eyes became a bit more demonic, and the breath on his body was also fluctuating.
Zhang Yu acted as if he didn't see this. With a calm expression, he said, "I don't have any prejudice against the kind of cultivation method that Fellow Daoist Bi Ming cultivates. But since Tianxia's rules are here, I can't not ask.
I hope that Fellow Daoist Bi Ming can go back with me. As long as Fellow Daoist can explain the situation in the past two hundred years and prove that you have nothing to do with Shangchen's Daoist cultivators, I'll submit a letter to Xuanting and try to change this law. In this way, Fellow Daoist Bi Ming can cultivate openly in the future. Isn't this better than hiding in the Wilderness alone? “
In Gu Xia's time, he forbade the foreign kind from cultivating, and his attitude towards this generation has always been to directly kill them, without the slightest leeway.
Gu Xia had his own considerations in Gu Xia's time, so he naturally wouldn't rashly deny it. But after all, the situation now was different. If the other party wasn't delirious, or did nothing to harm Tianxia's people, then there was no need to shout and shout to kill him. Especially now that they were facing a lot of foreign enemies, every bit of strength they could increase was a bit of strength.
When Daoist Bi Ming heard his words, he couldn't help but feel a little moved for a moment. If he could cultivate the Daoist method openly, then why did he have to cultivate hard outside?
But then he calmed down again.
Zhang Yu was just a Xuanting Shouzheng. Even if his fighting ability wasn't weak, he could be replaced by Xuanting at any time. This person was suspected to be Xuanxiu in the rumors, so how much weight could his words carry? How could he convince Xuanting with this?
He was very doubtful about this.
But he also didn't want to fall out with Zhang Yu. To say nothing of their battle prowess, Zhang Yu finding him was the same as Xuan Ting finding him. Once they began to fight, there would be no meaning in winning, and losing would most likely result in an even worse outcome.
Therefore, he remained silent for a while.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Yu could easily guess his doubts. He pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, you must be afraid that Xuanting will come and punish you, so you don't dare to turn back easily. That's easy. I'll send a letter to Xuanting now, asking Xuanting to issue an amnesty order."
Daoist Bi Ming was a little surprised. Listening to Zhang Yu's tone, it seemed like this person had a lot of power in Xuanting, and was not as simple as the ordinary Shouzheng.
He suddenly realized that many things he didn't know about had happened in these two hundred years.
Zhang Yu called out the Great Dao Chapter, found Daoist Feng, and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng, I have a matter to ask you to write to Xuanting on my behalf."
Daoist Feng's voice was heard, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
Zhang Yu came down and told him about the matter. After hearing it, Daoist Feng said, "This is easy. I'll send the letter up now. Once there's a result, I'll inform Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yu thanked him and left. He pondered for a moment and looked at the seal of Vermilion Phoenix disciple Du Xiaoxiao. He said, "Martial Nephew Du, is your master here?"
