As soon as Long Huai entered this place, he felt that there was something wrong with the aura around him.
It wasn't that they hadn't searched Shangchen's airspace before, but most of them were empty, leaving behind only an uninhabited area. The aura wasn't lifeless, but it was also empty.
However, as soon as they entered this place, they felt that the surroundings were filled with a stagnant and oppressive aura.
He was also a vigilant person. When he felt that something was wrong, he immediately turned the bow of the boat and tried to retreat from this place. However, he found that he couldn't find the door that he had just entered through.
He frowned and said, "A formation?"
He looked around and said cautiously, "Fellow Daoist Shi, it seems that we've fallen into a trap."
Shi Cheng tried to communicate with Yuandu Xuantu silently, but his expression slightly froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Long, Yuandu Xuantu can't help us."
Long Huai's expression changed slightly, and he said with certainty, "This should be caused by Cymbidium Lucidum."
He raised his head and looked around, then sneered and said, "Shangchen has set up such a big formation. It seems that they want to deal with more than just the two of us."
Shi Cheng said, "Fellow Daoist Long, when I came in just now, I already reported to Xuanting that I found this airspace. However, I can't get a response at this moment. I think it's also covered up by that Dao Guarding Treasure."
Long Huai said in a serious voice, "Since we can't retreat, we might as well go forward and take a look. Let's see what's wrong with Shangchen."
He urged the flying boat to continue moving forward. However, after traveling for a long time, there was nothing in front of them except for floating clouds and mist. After traveling for a long time, they felt that even the clouds and mist seemed to be constantly reappearing, giving people a feeling of annoyance.
Both of them were cultivators, and they usually wouldn't be disturbed by external things. However, at this time, they had such a feeling. How could they not be infected by the formation's aura?
The two of them immediately used their own methods to calm their minds.
However, it didn't seem to allow them to calm down. At this moment, they suddenly saw a green light spread out from above. It spread out in all directions and slowly descended, as if the sky was falling down.
Below them, a scarlet aura appeared. It was scarlet and dazzling, like the sea. At this moment, it was slowly rising like a rising tide. The flying boat was in it, and it looked like a tiny ant that was about to be pressed down by the vast sea and sky.
Daoist Long chuckled. He took out a seal, then waved his sleeve. In an instant, a golden rainbow flew out, turning into multiple rainbow circles that enveloped the entire flying ship.
At that moment, he did not forget to add, "Last time, when I was fighting against Zhang Shouzheng and Dai Tingzhi, I did not have a single magic weapon on me. That was why I was captured by the Mountain River Ring."
At first, these words sounded like he was attacked by the two of them at that time, and the two of them bullied him because he did not have any magic weapons. They even used a high-grade magic weapon to suppress him. That was why he lost.
However, Shi Cheng understood the cause and effect of this. As he took out a seal, he channeled his heart's light into the magic boat, activating the defensive talismans on it, and said, "That's right. At that time, Dai Tingzhi was restrained by Hunkong Laozu's curse, and Zhang Shouzheng had just achieved the Xuan Zun. With a shout, Fellow Daoist Long was captured and imprisoned. Fellow Daoist Long was not too modest towards the younger generation."
Long Huai's eyelids twitched. These words were a little too harsh, and it made him feel depressed. He thought to himself, 'This Shi Cheng's words are sharp. He's almost on par with Gan Bai. Gan Bai escaped quickly, but I don't know where he is now. Unfortunately, I was imprisoned in the prison, and now I'm trapped here.'
Although the two of them were mocking each other, they did not delay the matter at hand. Their mana and heart's light worked together to protect this place.
However, the two of them also knew that this magic formation borrowed the power of heaven and earth to maintain. If this continued, they would not be able to hold on for long. With their own abilities, they would most likely not be able to get out. They could only hope that Xuanting would come to their aid.
Shangchen, Valiant Heavenly Plains. Ying Chong was sitting in the Guardian Hall. At this moment, he suddenly felt something. He stretched out his hand and took a section of the Heavenly Branch into his hand. However, the other end extended endlessly, straight into the depths of the clouds. This end was originally light and agile, but at this moment, it was incomparably heavy. It could be seen that there was an empty space there.
He used the Heavenly Branch to look at the flying boat that was trapped within, and said slowly, "After waiting for so long, someone has finally fallen into the trap."
Right now, if he activated the magic formation and sent out capable people, it might not be impossible to take down the two people. However, these two people were just ordinary Xuan Zun. Even if he took them down, it would not mean much. To Tianxia, it was not considered a big loss at all.
The bigger reason he set up this empty space was to attract Tianxia cultivators who were more powerful, or rather, people who were currently a greater threat to Shangchen.
He was relying on the fact that this Heavenly Region could be moved. In other words, he had the final say on who could and could not find the existence of this Heavenly Region.
If he felt that the person who came was suitable, then he could let them in. If it was someone like Zhengqing who came, then he would close the door and not let anyone find out.
Moreover, if Zhengqing was sent to investigate this Heavenly Region, then he would stop his original search for the main Heavenly Region. No matter how he looked at it, it would be beneficial to Shangchen.
In his expectations, he thought that Xuanting would be able to determine his goal, so it was very likely that they would not send Zhengqing over, but send someone else.
And the person here was very likely to be Zhang Yu!
Because Zhang Yu's strength was tyrannical, and at the same time, he was also Shouzheng, so he was the most suitable person to do this kind of thing. As long as he arrived, he would order Daoist Jiao to appear and kill him in that sealed Heavenly Region!
In fact, even if the person who came was not Zhang Yu, the person who came would definitely be an expert of Tianxia. If they could surround and kill him, then it would not be considered a failure. At the same time, they could use this to intimidate Xuanting, and stop Xuanting's recent unbridled search.
At the same time that Shi Cheng and Long Huai were lost, the Xuan Court's court officials sent their incarnations to the meeting hall to discuss this matter.
Zhu Tingzhi quickly came to the conclusion that this was very likely a trap set up by Shangchen.
Therefore, he immediately sent a message to Xuan Zun through Xuntian Dao Zhang, telling him to be more cautious before entering the Heavenly Region, because they were not sure if this was the only region that had problems.
Wei Tingzhi said, "These two have been lost in that Heavenly Region, we have no choice but to do something and send people to help."
Lin Tingzhi said, "Zhan Kong's observation and management of Yuandu Xuantu were unable to transfer these two out. That place should be under the protection of Cymbidium Lucidum, so the people sent should be cautious. This Lin thinks that the Zhengqing Daoist should be sent."
Zhong Tingzhi said, "The Zhengqing Daoist is currently searching for Shangchen's main Heavenly Region. With his ability, he has the highest chance of finding this place. If he were to turn halfway to help, then he would be playing right into Shangchen's hands.
Furthermore, this Zhong thinks that from the current reports, this Heavenly Region is drifting unpredictably, that it is a poisonous bait. If the Zhengqing Daoist were to go, Shangchen might not necessarily let him in. "
Lin Tingzhi said, "Then who does Zhong Tingzhi think should be sent to this place?"
Zhong Tingzhi glanced at Chao Huan, who was sitting there, but did not say anything.
Dai Gonghan suggested, "What does everyone think of Long Yi? This old Long has already cultivated the Void Fruit, and Long Huai can be considered his junior. There is no harm in sending someone to help him and let him atone for his crimes. "
Daoist Feng, however, objected, "That's not right. Even if Long Yi's past crimes were reduced by a few hundred years, he might not take it to heart.
Moreover, these old Long's seniors and juniors do not have much of a friendship. I'm afraid he won't really put in effort. We are trying to save these two Daoists, so we have to prioritize the lives of these two Daoists. "
He paused, then said, "This Feng thinks that we can send Zhu Shouzheng. Her cultivation has also reached the Void Stage, and she has been recuperating since she came back a few days ago. She should have recovered her mana by now."
Chong Zhao said, "Zhu Xuan Zun's cultivation is sufficient, but she can protect herself. Her combat abilities are insufficient, and she might not be able to save them. Among the Shouzheng, only Zhang Shouzheng has this ability. In this Chong's opinion, it is better to send Zhang Shouzheng to this place."
Lin Tingzhi agreed, "If it is Zhang Shouzheng, then he is a suitable candidate. How about this," He turned to look upwards, and said to the Daoist sitting at the head seat, "Head Deacon, why don't we send Zhu Shouzheng and Zhang Shouzheng to this place together, and see if they can save them."
Chen Tingzhi then said, "This trip is to save our fellow Daoists, and not to let the rescuers be lost. I think that we can borrow Zhang Shouzheng's Daoist robe again, and only then can we ensure our safety."
The Court Deacons discussed for a while, and all agreed with this view. The Daoist sitting at the head seat saw that everyone had the same opinion, and did not delay. He immediately ordered Daoist Ming Zhou to pass on the order.
After Daoist Ming Zhou received the order, he appeared in Shouzheng's palace in a breath's time. He told the Deity Hall Deacon his intention, and the Deity Hall Deacon did not dare to delay, and immediately went in to report.
After a while, Zhang Yu walked out from the inner hall. When Daoist Ming Zhou saw him, he bowed and said, "Sorry to disturb Shouzheng's cultivation. Ming Zhou is here on Xuanting's orders." As he said, he presented the imperial edict in his hand.
Zhang Yu's gaze fell. When Xuanting issued an imperial edict, it represented the entire Xuanting. This meant that many things should have happened.
As his thoughts turned, the imperial edict flew in front of him. He received it, opened it, and glanced at it. He understood the general situation. He pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "I know about this. I'll have to trouble Daoist Ming Zhou to return and report. Tell him that I'll make some preparations, and I'll set off."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed, and a ray of light flashed, and his figure disappeared.
After he left, Zhang Yu sent his heart's ray into the pendant at one end of the imperial edict. After a while, a ray of spiritual light flew out, and turned into a Daoist robe with golden Daoist talismans surrounding it. This was the robe that he wore when he went to the Yuandu Mountain Gate.
With a thought, this Daoist robe turned into a ray of light, and landed on his body.
He could feel that there were a few supernatural powers on it that had not been used. However, even without these supernatural powers, just the Daoist robe itself was quite a protective instrument.
This time, he was also leaning towards Xuanting's judgment. This was a trap in Shangchen, and he had to be extra careful. With this item as a defense, this trip would be more assured.
