In the Shouzheng Palace, Zhang Yu was in seclusion in the back of the palace, trying to deduce a divine ability. His avatar was in the Daoist Palace, refining an artifact.
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt a strange movement in the Xuntian Dao Zhang. He stopped for a moment and summoned the Dao Zhang to take a look. He saw a message sent by Jin Zhixing.
The message said that Ying Chong, who was killed by Zhang Yu in Shangchen, had most likely returned.
Jin Zhixing said that although he had never seen this person before, when Ying Chong was around, Shangchen was orderly. However, when he was not around, the entire Shangchen was like a pool of stagnant water. Even if there were external forces stirring it up, it would quickly die down after a few ripples.
However, in the past few months, the pool of stagnant water that was Shangchen began to move again. It was as if a fresh stream of life had been injected into it from the outside.
This was clearly because there was a capable person controlling the situation from above. However, in Shangchen, only Ying Chong could have such prestige and methods.
Not only that, in Shangchen, there had been frequent envoys from the main and subordinate heavenly realms. It was likely that they were planning something big. Therefore, they sent a letter to remind Tianxia to pay attention to it.
After reading this, Zhang Yu had a thought. Shangchen's goal was actually very easy to determine. They wanted to attract the Huanyang school, so they would definitely put pressure on Tianxia in advance. Or they would directly launch an attack. This was using pressure to replace defense.
However, this kind of thing would be taken care of by the court officials. Therefore, he directly sent this message to Chao Huan and continued to deduce the divine ability.
Two days later, a god on duty outside the hall said, "Shouzheng, there is a document from the lower bound encampment."
Zhang Yuzheng didn't come out, but with a thought, a shadow walked out and took the talisman book from the deity's hands. He opened it and saw that it was Xu Chengtong who handed it to him.
After reading the contents of the letter, he did not immediately look for Yan Ruijiang. Instead, he sent his consciousness into the Heaven-Training Dao Chapter and searched for that Dao book to flip through it.
In Xuanxiu, it could be said that he was the person with the deepest understanding of Dao. Therefore, at a glance, he understood that this Dao book was used to mislead cultivators. The more he read, the more puzzled he became.
This was because the path of Dao was endless. Sometimes, the more one knew, the better. At a certain level, it was better to know a certain level of Dao. If one intended to grasp a higher Dao in one's hands, that would be exceeding one's own limits. However, this Dao book used a clever method to place these Dao principles in front of one's eyes. It looked close, as if one could touch it with one's hand.
However, those who sought Dao had a desire for the Dao. Naturally, not many people could resist this temptation.
His consciousness turned around in Xuntian Dao Zhang and realized that there was more than one Dao book. It was just that the other Dao books were not judged by Gan Bai, so they were not brought to the stage.
Although these Dao books looked different on the surface, judging from the purpose and the specific method used, they should have all been written by the same person.
This was most likely the work of a Daoist cultivator from Shangchen Heaven. The purpose was also very clear. It was to mess up Dao and disturb people's hearts. Moreover, from the level, it was targeted at cultivators who were in the fourth chapter of the book.
This was a very ingenious move.
He thought about the report sent by Jin Zhixing. This matter might have been pushed by Ying Chong.
Could it be that Yu Xuanzun in Chen Tianzhong did not think of this method? That was definitely not the case. Ying Chong was not the only smart person in Shangchen.
However, these high and mighty Xuan Zun might not be willing to lower themselves to do things. Looking at the current situation in Shangchen, perhaps only Ying Chong had the ability to do things while having ideas.
He thought about it and felt that there was a need to find a countermeasure here. However, he had to deal with the matter in front of him first.
He looked in the direction of Yan Ruijiang's seal and immediately found his location. At this moment, this person was hiding on a floating mountain peak on the outskirts of Yikong Shangzhou. This place was very close to Yujing.
This choice was clearly carefully chosen. If the situation was not good, this person could hide in Yujing.
Because of the involvement of various powers in Yujing, everything had to be done according to certain rules. If this person had a certain amount of business arrangements, then as long as he did not commit a serious crime, it would be very beneficial for him to hide.
With a thought, he sent this information to the Shouzheng Palace in Yi Luo Shangzhou.
After Xu Chengtong sent in the letter, he had been waiting for news on the spell platform. At this moment, he saw a ray of light come from the sky and land on the altar. He immediately bowed and stood there respectfully.
When the light dissipated, he straightened his body and tidied his clothes. He walked forward with a serious expression and took the talisman book from the altar. He looked at it and already had an idea.
However, this matter was not entirely related to the Shouzheng Palace. Moreover, Yan Ruijiang was so cunning that he must have made arrangements. Although he was not afraid of this person, if he went alone, he might not be able to catch him. Therefore, he stood on the stage and ordered, "Men, go and invite Liang Daoyou and Fellow Daoist Shi here. Tell them that we have found the whereabouts of that person."
Liang Yi and Shi Yanxin had been waiting for the results. When they heard that there was news, the two quickly arrived at the station.
Xu Chengtong saw the two of them and said, "The two of you have confirmed that Yan Ruijiang is indeed a traitor. Moreover, he was instructed by Shouzheng to find out about this person's whereabouts. He is currently in Yikong Shangzhou. Please come with me to catch him."
Liang Yi said in a low voice, "Alright, we will go with the Xu Family."
Xu Chengtong had already prepared a flying boat. After the plan was set, he invited the two of them to board the flying boat and then drove it north.
After flying for a few days, many floating islands appeared in their field of vision. It was obvious that they had already arrived at Jikong Shangzhou.
The flying boat didn't stop and entered the Soaring Heavens Mountain Range. After another day, Xu Chengtong looked ahead and said, "The Soaring Heavens Mountain three thousand miles away is where this person is hiding. This place is close to the Jade Capital, and if this person escapes there after sensing the commotion, there will be many more variables. To be safe, we need someone to stop him in advance."
Shi Yanxin said, "I will do this."
Liang Yi said, "Fellow Daoist Shi is indeed suitable."
Xu Chengtong said, "Then I will have to trouble you, Xuanxiu."
Shi Yanxin cupped his hands towards the two of them. Then, he got out of the flying boat and flew away.
Xu Chengtong and Liang Yi discussed for a while. After waiting for a while, they directly left the flying boat and flew towards the flying mountain.
At this moment, Yan Ruijiang was meditating. Suddenly, he felt a sense of danger and woke up from his meditation.
This was the place where he was hiding. There were naturally warning signs around. When he looked outside, he saw two rays of light flying towards him. He was shocked.
He was not good at facing the enemy head-on. If he stayed to resist, he would die. Therefore, without saying anything, he turned into a ray of light and flew into the sky. He directly fled in the direction of Yujing.
After traveling for less than a moment, the Jade Capital appeared in his field of vision. This continent was bathed in golden light and clouds. It looked majestic and grand, and the silhouette of the towering Yuanshangtai could be clearly seen.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. No matter how fast he flew, he could not get close to this place. When this thought appeared, the surrounding scenery shattered.
He suddenly realized that he was still near the flying mountain. In the sky, Liang Yi and Xu Chengtong were standing there and looking at him.
After Zhang Yu sent the news to Xu Chengtong, he changed his mind and looked at the Daoist books again.
If these Daoist books were really compiled by Ying Chong, then he must have put in a lot of effort. He must have carefully understood the Xuan Dao in advance.
In order to ensure that this book would be accepted by cultivators, he even added some of his own insights and explanations of the Dao. Some of his views were quite eye-catching.
Moreover, as if to cover up, the main theme of each book was different. Each book would discuss a principle. It was true that he had put in a lot of effort.
In fact, this was inevitable. If this book did not talk about any useful principles, it would not be accepted by people.
If he simply and crudely sealed these Daoist books, it would not be appropriate. This was because not only would it not affect the book, but it might also cause some cultivators to secretly read and spread it.
However, in his opinion, it was not difficult to break this method.
As long as he could find a way to change these Daoist books and compile them again, he could make them into Daoist books that could be comprehended by cultivators. At the same time, he could spread the news that the previous Daoist books were fake books that had been tampered with. Once cultivators read the two versions of the Daoist books, they would naturally know how to choose.
This method could be used repeatedly. You give me a Daoist book, I will change it. I will accept all the useful principles of the Dao and block all your schemes.
Moreover, he believed that a single Daoist book would not be enough. At the same time, there should be many different versions. That way, he could completely drown out the Daoist books sent by the other party.
After thinking for a while, he called out Xuntian Dao Zhang and set up a talisman seal. He then sent out several messages. After waiting for a while, rays of light flashed on the light screen.
Court Steward Feng Zixian, Court Steward Chao Huan, Court Steward Dai Gonghan, Court Steward Gao Mo, Daoist Wan Ming, and the others all entered the light screen. For a moment, the light screen was full of light.
After Zhang Yu greeted everyone, he said, "Today, I have invited all of you here for a matter."
He first told everyone about how the cultivators on the outside threw themselves into the Daoist books in an attempt to disturb the descendants of Tianxia and Xuanxiu. Then, he explained the countermeasure of "tampering" with the Daoist books.
Chao Huan revealed an interested expression and said, "This is quite interesting. Count me in. I will go through that Daoist book in detail when I go back."
Dai Gonghan said, "I will agree to this."
Daoist Feng and Gao Mo had no objections. This was not only a countermeasure against the opponent, it was also a remote confrontation with the opponent's Dao. It was also an elaboration and sorting out of one's own Dao.
Daoist Wan Ming said, "After seeing this book the day before yesterday, I wanted to write a few rebukes to correct the people's hearts. However, I haven't put pen to paper yet. However, Shouzheng's method is better. Even if his Daoist books come again in the future, I'm afraid it will not be able to stir up any waves."
