The white-robed Taoist returned to his station and came to the entrance of an underground cave. When he was about to walk down, he heard a person say from behind: "Master Yu, where have you been?"
The white-robed Taoist was startled. When he came over, he didn't see anyone. He turned around slowly and saw Cao Fangding's figure standing in the distance. He said, "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Cao."
He had a smart smile on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist Cao, please don't say the word sect leader again. Yu cannot afford it. We have already become Xuanfu monks, so now we should call each other fellow daoist."
After a pause, he added: "I have just been looking for a place to practice my magical powers. Fellow Taoists must also know that our Shangyuan sect is good at observing the appearance from a distance. When practicing, we need to look at the sky and stars. It is not a good place to go underground.
.”
Cao Fangding said expressionlessly: "Then who were you communicating to?"
The white-robed Taoist was shocked, but his face showed doubts: "What kind of light communication?"
Cao Fangding didn't explain much, just kept looking at him silently.
The relaxed smile on the white-robed Taoist's face slowly faded, and finally he said in a deep voice: "When did you find out?"
Cao Fangding shook his head and said: "I didn't discover anything in advance, I was just waiting for that person who might exist."
The white-robed Taoist shook his head. It seemed that he was too careless in this matter.
But he had no choice. If possible, he would also like to find a safe opportunity to deliver the news. However, according to that person's request, Zhang Yu's departure must be reported as soon as possible.
He couldn't resist either.
To say that he did something wrong, it can only be said that he did not leave in time after the summons, thinking that he could hide it from others.
He sighed, then looked at Cao Fangding, with a trace of relaxation on his face, and said: "But Fellow Daoist Cao, you are too trusting. I have already seen it, and there is no one here except you."
others.
I know what you are capable of. If you didn't show up and only attacked me with visualization, I would still be afraid of you. But you actually appear in front of me now, so why should I be afraid of you?"
Cao Fangding's expression was always calm and he said, "Really?"
The white-robed Taoist frowned, and he suddenly noticed something. He took a few steps back and looked warily at the entrance of the cave, only to see Taoist Wan Ming walking out and looking at him expressionlessly.
His heart suddenly sank. Cao Fangding was fine alone, but if there were two people, there was no way he could be his opponent. Now he had to find a way to escape from this place quickly.
But just when he changed his mind, he saw ripples in the atmosphere not far away, and then he saw a young Taoist surrounded by jade light and mist walking out and looking at him.
The body of the white-robed Taoist could not help but tremble, with a look of horror in his eyes, and he said: "Zhang, Zhang Xuanzheng, you, you are not..." He suddenly stopped talking, obviously realizing that this matter was arranged by Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu looked at this person and said quietly: "Master Yu, I just want to ask you, where is your light message sent? And to whom is it sent?"
The leader of the Shangyuan Sect in front of him, Yu Jian, is nearly two hundred years old. It is absolutely impossible for him to be a creator. And he has also passed the previous test and there is no sign of nightmare infection on his body, so he should be
It is from another force, but it does not rule out collusion with the force behind the Creator.
Yu Jian fell silent.
He had seen Zhang Yu's magical powers and knew that he could not defeat him even if he fought alone, let alone Wan Ming and Cao Dingfang.
If possible, he would rather choose to answer truthfully, because Zhang Yu acted according to the rules of the Xuan Palace. At most, he would be punished a little, and his life would not be in danger. But he was unable to do this, because he had already
He made a vow not to reveal the secrets behind him.
He sighed and said: "Zhang Xuanzheng, you don't have to ask, I won't say anything, and I can't say anything."
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment, nodded, and said: "Fellow Taoist Wanming, could you please lead me to take him down for custody?"
Taoist Wan Ming nodded, and with a flash of golden light outside his body, a gorgeous big insect rushed towards Yu Jian. The latter gave up resistance at this time and allowed the big insect to invade his upper body. Then the light in his body suddenly disappeared, and then
He suddenly lost consciousness and his whole body was enveloped in the golden light.
Outside the Southwest Territory, on the edge of the ruins, Zhong Lie and the woman in snow were staying in a rock cave, and with them was a middle-aged Taoist who was unsmiling.
They have been waiting here for many days.
Every one or two days, new news would come from outside the territory, informing them of the general whereabouts of Zhang Yu's flying boat.
However, Zhang Yu seemed to have been away for a period of time, which made them think that he intended to return to the island secretly, and they were very wary. It was not until Zhang Yu showed up at the station again that they calmed down.
Zhong Lie had been looking out at the glazed jade at the entrance of the cave. At this moment, if he realized something, he turned around and saw several small beads glowing with purple light suddenly appearing in the hands of the middle-aged Taoist.
, rolling up and down in the mist.
He looked at it for a few times and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, could this thing be the 'Thunder Sky Bead'?"
Taoist surnamed Zhu said calmly: "Yes."
Zhong Lie's eyes flashed. The destructive power of the Thunder Cloud Pearl was comparable to that of the Xuan Bing, but it was not as dispersed as the Xuan Bing. It was specially used to deal with monks.
He didn't expect this person to be carrying this item this time, but he had never heard it mentioned before.
Because this thing was too dangerous, he originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Taoist surnamed Zhu seemed to disdain to talk to them more, and just gave him a few perfunctory words.
He was not annoyed by this, because there were always some people among the true cultivators who looked down on the xuanxiu, and this was obviously the case with this one.
In fact, he doesn't care about this. After doing this, he will still go back to be the leader of his Hongshan sect, and this person will return to the Lingmiao Xuan realm, and the two sides will no longer have any intersection.
The woman in snow clothes sat there without speaking, with only wisps of cold air surging around her. Over the past few days, a layer of white frost had condensed on the ground around her.
Taoist surnamed Zhu glanced at her and said, "Fellow Taoist Mei, you must learn to control your own power."
The woman in snow clothes looked at him coldly.
Taoist surnamed Zhu said calmly: "Don't look at me like that. Based on that man's previous performance, we infer that his power of induction is also very good. Although your power is not great, it is too conspicuous in the wasteland, and it is very likely to cause him to advance early."
Observe.”
Zhong Lie thought about it carefully and felt that there was some truth to what he said.
Judging from the news that has been sent back one after another, Zhang Xuanzheng's magical powers are very good, and he is especially good at long-distance attacks. If this person is more careful, on the way back, maybe the visualization map will take the first step to explore the way out, then
It is indeed possible that they will be discovered.
If something like this happened, then this person could attack them from thousands of miles away, or simply avoid this place, then their arrangement would be completely useless.
He said: "Master Mei, this is an important matter, so I can only ask you to restrain yourself a little."
The woman in snow clothes was silent for a moment, and slowly regained her strength. Soon, the white frost around her also receded.
Seeing this, the Taoist surnamed Zhu ignored her.
The cave fell into silence again.
I don't know how much time passed, but a glimmer of light suddenly flashed on the glazed jade at the entrance of the cave.
Zhong Lie's eyes lit up, he stood up, walked closer to the glazed jade and looked at it carefully, then turned around and said: "Everyone, this person has already left to return to the continent."
Taoist surnamed Zhu asked: "Can you confirm that you are returning here?"
Zhong Lie said: "Friend Zhu Dao, you can rest assured. No matter in the south or northwest, there are creatures on the road to communicate for us, and there are temporary sentries we have arranged underground. As long as this person comes from these two directions, then we will
It will never be missed.”
When he thought about it, with these things prepared, unless Zhang Yu went south and went directly to the sea to the east, making a big circle back, otherwise they would not be able to miss it. After all, it was approaching the New Year, so Zhang Yu was obviously preparing
If we rush back to Zhouzhong before this happens, where can we waste our time doing this?
Moreover, judging from his past style, he is not a person who avoids trouble.
After the three of them waited for another two days, the glazed jade flickered again. Zhong Lie suddenly stood up and said, "Here he comes."
This light transmission came from the last sentry point. When it appeared, it meant that the other party was less than fifty miles away from them. It could be said that they had arrived in an instant.
Zhong Lie immediately left the cave and stared into the distance. At this time, there was no need to hide anything. Not long after, a black flying boat appeared in his sight.
In a flash of light, the woman in snow clothes and the Taoist surnamed Zhu appeared on the wasteland respectively. They all watched coldly as the flying boat flew past them.
According to the information they knew in advance, Zhang Yu was the only one who boarded the flying boat this time. Wan Ming and Cao Fangding, who had been following him since the battle with the Shuangzhou people, both stayed at the Chengchangdao station. If they missed this time, they would go there.
There won't be such a good opportunity in the future.
At this time, Zhong Lie walked directly in front of the direction where the flying boat came from. He opened his hands, and a piece of red sand suddenly rose from behind. In an instant, everything within a radius of dozens of miles turned into a sea of red sand.
There was something vaguely moving inside.
This piece of red is not gorgeous, but it looks too stiff and has a sense of creation. This thing suddenly appears in the originally clear world, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
This is his visualization map "Red Hill", which is famous for its vast range. As long as he fights within the boundaries he has arranged in advance, his strength can be increased by at least 30%.
But he didn't think he could deal with Zhang Yu with just this. The key today was Zhu Daoren who arranged to help them. He was mainly responsible for creating favorable conditions for this person to take action.
The flying boat was shaken by the sea of red sand, and the countless flying gravels made a crackling sound, like dense muskets, instantly hitting the boat full of holes, and then rolled and fell downwards.
