After conducting a thorough investigation, Zhang Yu confirmed that the only person still connected to Bi Ming was the disciple named He Li. He could first try tracing this lead.
If he could find a breakthrough here, it would save much trouble. If not, he could think of another way elsewhere.
Having made up his mind, he summoned the Seal of the Great Dao and sent a message to Gao Mo, Profound Chief of Yiluo Upper Continent, stating that He Li might be involved in a certain matter and that he would be sending people to inquire into the circumstances.
Although He Li was merely a three-chapter cultivator, he was now, after all, a cultivator of Yiluo Profound Residence. Zhang Yu still had to give notice before investigating him.
Upon receiving the message, Gao Mo swiftly replied, "Fellow Daoist is too courteous. Your subordinates may proceed as they please. Gao will instruct the people of the continent to provide every possible convenience."
Zhang Yu thanked him, withdrew his awareness, and considered matters briefly. Then, with a flick of his finger, a streak of spiritual light descended upon Yiluo Upper Continent. To ensure the investigation was settled in one go, he intended to have Xu Chengtong, who was stationed in Yiluo Upper Continent, take charge of the matter.
Yiluo Upper Continent, Guardian of Rectitude garrison.
Xu Chengtong had just returned from an outside patrol. The moment he entered the great platform of the garrison, he saw a streak of spiritual light descend from the heavens and land atop it. Delight rose in his heart, but his expression immediately turned solemn. At once, he transformed into light and fled to the top of the platform. After steadying himself, he straightened his robes and walked toward the offering table within the platform hall.
