In the chaotic land, Cen Chuanzheng was pacing back and forth in a training hall. He seemed to be deep in thought.
Just now, he had received a message from Zhong Ting's enforcer, saying that Zhang Yu had successfully resolved the threat of Yuandu. This time, he had made a great contribution.
He used to be a court administrator, so he knew very well that although Yuandu and Tianxia had merged into one on the surface, there was still a certain distance between them. If Tianxia could not successfully merge them into one, then there would definitely be problems in the end.
Not long ago, the news of Yuandu's abnormal movement had also proven his deduction.
He originally thought that this matter might lead to Shangchen's invasion in the most serious situation, so he was prepared for any eventuality. However, he did not expect the matter to be resolved in just a few days.
The reason why this matter could be settled in such a short time and did not cause a greater disaster was not only because of Xuanting's strategy, but also because of Zhang Yu's extremely crucial role.
He could not help but feel a deep sense of urgency and anxiety in his heart.
This was because he realized that as Zhang Yu's contributions increased, if this continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to compete with him.
Just as he was feeling anxious, his mind suddenly felt a surge of sensation. He was startled at first, but then his eyes showed some excitement. His consciousness shifted to Changhe Prefecture's clone.
His clone stood up from the observation platform and stared towards the west. After a while, he saw a majestic light that was like boundless clear water appear in the sky.
Under the illumination of this light, he felt as if he had entered another world. Within the clear light, an incomparably huge figure of a Daoist appeared.
His heart tightened. He immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Apprentice-Brother."
This was not the attitude towards an ordinary fellow disciple. However, in his opinion, it was the most normal. This was because his and Mei Shang's abilities were taught by this Senior Apprentice-Brother on behalf of their master.
The Daoist sent down a loud voice, "Previously, you sent a letter saying that there was chaos in Yuandu and Xuanting wanted me to be prepared to suppress it. How is the situation now?"
In order to solve the Yuandu matter, Xuanting had made two preparations. One was to order Zhang Yu to head to Yuandu and the other was to send a letter for Zhengqing to return to the court. If Zhang Yu did not succeed, then Zhengqing would be sent to solve the problem.
Cen Chuan respectfully replied, "Reporting to Senior Martial Brother, this matter has already been resolved by Zhang Shouzheng. Junior Martial Brother has only just received the news and hasn't had time to inform Senior Martial Brother."
The Daoist didn't make any comments, only saying, "That's good." His voice carried a sense of indifference, as if neither the Yuandu Sect nor Zhang Yu were worth mentioning.
Cen Chuan didn't dare to say much, only lowering his head. At this moment, he heard a surging sound. He raised his head and saw a vast and mighty Qi light rushing towards the sky like an upside-down seawater. He hurriedly bowed and said loudly, "Farewell, Senior Martial Brother."
Youyuan's Upper Continent, Shouzheng Palace's encampment.
After Shen Chengan received the news that the sect's matter had been resolved, he found an excuse to dawdle in the encampment for a few days. Seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, he walked out of the encampment.
He felt that living in the encampment was actually quite good. He could lie in the sun all day long and cultivate whenever he wanted. He didn't have to care about the matters in the continent. Other than not being able to eat his favorite delicacies, he didn't have any regrets.
He looked at the sun and thought that he had endless things to do when he returned. He sighed and said, "It's a busy life." He leaped and instantly transformed into a conveyance light and flew away.
After seeing the silhouette of Youyuan from afar, his speed suddenly slowed down. He thought of the delicious white fish in the Dingchuan River next to him and slowly stopped.
He said to himself, "I'm not afraid of going back to work. I just want to eat fish."
After giving himself a reason, he turned around and flew towards the river.
At his level, although he could stop eating for a long time, he couldn't stop himself from liking it. He always thought that even if he was a cultivator, since he was in this world, if he didn't have a little hobby, then he would be too inhumane.
The Dingchuan River was not far from the Upper Continent. After flying for a few breaths, he arrived at the bank of the river. He descended from the sky and landed on a big rock that he used to stop on. He casually grabbed it and a strangely long fishing rod appeared in his hand. He then threw the hook into the river.
Although he could easily pick up the fish in the river with his mana, it seemed superfluous. If he didn't catch the fish himself, he didn't feel that it would be so delicious to eat.
Moreover, he wouldn't take too much. Every time he passed by, he would only take two fishes. He thought that once something was too much, he would get used to it and wouldn't be able to find the taste inside.
After the hook entered the water, he sat down cross-legged on the big rock on the bank. He didn't deliberately stare at it. He just narrowed his eyes and adjusted his breathing while waiting.
But not long after, a voice suddenly came from behind. "Junior Apprentice Brother Shen, so you're here."
Shen Chengan shuddered and almost jumped up.
He didn't turn around and only looked with his senses. When he saw who it was, he couldn't help but be startled. He turned around and looked at the person standing in the distance with some surprise. "You are … Senior Apprentice Brother Kuai?"
Kuai Jing walked over. He was wearing a robe and a pair of glasses. He looked very scholarly. He smiled slightly at him and said, "It's me."
Shen Chengan said seriously, "Wait, I haven't seen Senior Apprentice Brother Kuai for many years. How do I know if you are real or fake?"
Kuai Jing was pleasantly surprised. He looked at him with admiration and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. Junior Apprentice Brother Shen, you are right. We should be vigilant of everything. Danger is everywhere. Everyone outside can become our enemy."
Shen Chengan thought, It's over. Why am I being targeted by this person? I have to leave quickly. This guy is too troublesome.
After he left Xun Ji, he had interacted with Kuai Jing a few times. He knew that Kuai Jing was an unreasonable person. If you were stronger than him, he would take the initiative to avoid you. But if you were weaker than him, you would have to listen to him.
He slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot. Call me if there is something in the continent. I don't care if you are Senior Apprentice Brother Kuai. I won't argue with you today. I'll talk to you in the future."
As he spoke, he put away his beloved fishing rod and flew away. When he turned around and saw that Kuai Jing was still standing there, he relaxed slightly.
No matter what this person was planning, as long as he was in the upper continent, as a member of the Xuanfu, if this person came to disturb him again, there would naturally be cultivators from the Xuanfu to deal with him.
However, when he thought about this, he felt that something was wrong. When this thought appeared, he was in a daze. He suddenly realized that he was still standing on the rock as if he had not moved at all. He could not help but open his eyes wide. He looked at Kuai Jing who was standing in front of him and said, "This, you, you …"
Kuai Jing pushed up his slightly glowing glasses and said seriously, "Junior Apprentice Brother, it is right to be vigilant against everyone. But your strength is too weak. As your Senior Apprentice Brother, I have to help you increase your strength."
In the outer layer of the void, Daoist Tian Hong was meditating. Outside, there were layers of light rainbows flying. Below him, there was a pool of light mist that gathered into a flood.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "It's you."
He stretched out his hand, and with just this action, his hand instantly became boundlessly large. As his sleeves fluttered, he had already reached into the depths of the void and easily picked up a twisted and strange evil god. He casually tossed it into the flood pool below him.
When it was in the pool, the evil spirit suddenly turned into a strange fish with a big head. Looking at it, there were already many strange fish swimming there.
Suddenly, a brilliant golden light flew over from afar. He glanced at it, and the rainbow light around him swept it over. He looked at it and said, "Oh? Zhan Kong has actually taken the position of Xuanting? Does this mean that the Yuandu Sect has officially joined Tianxia? Hehe, it seems like there is no use for us to put up such a big formation. "
A voice sounded from the communication talisman, "Daoist Tian Hong, Daoist Ying Chong has already calculated that there is a 50-50 chance of success in this matter. If we succeed, we will have an additional bargaining chip. Even if we don't succeed, it is not a big deal. We won't lose anything."
Tian Hong sneered and said, "If we lose, we lose. What is there to talk about? Anyway, it is not the first time. Just treat it as us working for nothing again. I only hope that some people will remember and not think that their ideas are always right. "
That voice said again, "Daoist Tian Hong, why do you have to say this? This matter did not succeed, was it not because Fellow Daoist had pressured Tianxia enough in the outer layer? So much so that they could easily withdraw their hands and solve the Yuandu matter. "
Daoist Tian Hong said with disdain, "It is easy to say. Even if I gave the order, with the current situation? Which fellow daoist would be willing to fight against Tianxia?
Now that Tianxia has taken the opportunity to solve the problem, that Zhan Kong is still fine, but that Xun Ji is extremely difficult to deal with. Originally, if we don't care, these two people might not show up. Now, there are so many variables. I didn't think this was a good idea from the beginning. "
That voice said, "Daoist friend is exaggerating. If these two people want to show up, they will have to show up in the end." Saying this, the voice paused for a moment before continuing, "I just received another piece of news. That Zhengqing has already left the place of seclusion and returned to the upper layer. It is very likely that he will become our enemy."
Daoist Tian Hong's expression turned slightly solemn. Then, he said with a slight mocking tone, "Zhengqing has been banished for more than two hundred years. He has been cultivating hard outside without any mystical grains. I wonder how much of his strength he has left?"
That voice said, "In the end, we have one more enemy. It is useless for us to confront each other now. We might as well retreat first."
Daoist Tian Hong suddenly said, "What did Ying Chong say?"
That voice said, "What does Daoist friend mean?"
Daoist Tian Hong sneered and said, "Did Ying Chong do this just to make a move against the Yuandu Sect? I don't believe that he did not have other thoughts. Has he already gained something? "
That voice said, "This is not something I can know. If Daoist friend has any doubts, you can ask him yourself."
Daoist Tian Hong swung his sleeve and said, "No need. I don't care what he does. You guys remember, if Xian Ding still can't come to an agreement, then do as I said in advance. Recall Huanyang and attack Tianxia together!"
