This Nan Dang Swamp was also foggy at night. White smoke rose everywhere, making it difficult to distinguish north from south. The sky was pitch black and the moon could not be seen. There were strange fish swimming in the swamp, and the sound of splashing could be heard. The barren reefs and rocks outside were shaped like the dorsal fins of water beasts.
If an ordinary cultivator were to fly across this lake at night, it would be extremely difficult for them to find an island. They could only rely on their memories to roughly determine the location of the island, and they might have to go around in circles, wasting a lot of time.
However, the Yue Cang Sect disciples on this journey all had their own methods. The seven disciples who had formed their own path were led by Junior Brother Qin, who had the map in his hand. This person was good at calculating the journey. He knew exactly where they were, how far they had travelled, and which direction they were in. There was no way he would make a mistake.
Ren Mingyao, on the other hand, was different. His Thousand Kills Sword Plate had the ability to locate Qi. Wherever the Gold Qi was strong and the weapons were gathered, it would definitely be where the Demon Clan was gathered. As long as he had the right direction, he would be able to find his way there. Furthermore, his White Feather Hawk was also a spiritual bird. It had the ability to identify the way, so it was very easy for him.
Zhang Yan was different. He did not care about the direction. After leaving Ling Shu Flying Palace, he waved his hand and called out, "Where is Ao Tong?"
As soon as the words came out, a half-foot-long snake-shaped living creature sprang out of the sleeve. With a shake of its body, it instantly turned into a sixty feet long demon dragon with golden scales. However, its body was now equipped with a saddle, and in front of it was a cushioned foot. There was also a silver rope around its neck.
Zhang Yan stepped on the cushion and pulled up the rope. He said, "We are going to the Southeast Island of Breath and Anma Island. Do you recognize them?"
Ao Tong twisted his body and raised his head. He said, "Old Master, I have been searching for food in these three pools since I was young. Although I do not know every place, I know how many hidden canals there are, how many strange peaks and rocks there are, and where the demonic woman likes to have fun. I, Ao Tong, remember them all."
Zhang Yan frowned and tugged on the rope. He scolded, "Since you already know, then why aren't you leading the way? Why are you wasting your breath?"
Being pulled by Xiao Chen, Ao Tong could not help but grin. He stretched out his body and extended his claws. Then, he flew into the air. His speed was not slow.
As it flew, it muttered, "Master, that Xie Zongyuan is really not a good person. You don't know, I was really bored to death in that beast saddle."
Zhang Yan laughed and scolded, "Don't try to trick me. You're so dizzy in the saddle that you can't even see the sun. Do you think I don't know?"
When Ao Tong was exposed, he could not help feeling embarrassed. In a moment of carelessness, he had forgotten about the Essence Blood Contract. As long as Zhang Yan checked, he would know what Ao Tong was thinking.
However, Ao Tong's talkative personality could not be changed. After calming down for a while, he could no longer hold it in and started talking non-stop.
He was born as an ancient Flood Dragon and had received many inheritances from his clan since he was young. However, he could not distinguish them clearly and did not care whether they were true or false. He just blurted out everything in his head as if he wanted to pour out all the words that he had been holding in his stomach for the past few days.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan was very shrewd. No matter what Ao Tong said, he did not get angry. He still had a faint smile on his face. If it were someone else, they would have already gone crazy and wanted to smack Ao Tong to death. Even so, in the end, Zhang Yan could not help but sigh, "I wonder if it was a good or bad thing for me to give you the Body Transformation Pill and remove the bone in your throat."
After traveling for an hour, Ao Tong shouted, "Master, look at the flashing light in front. That is Breath Island. This place is the easiest to recognize."
Zhang Yan took a few glances and agreed, "Indeed. I wonder which disciple will cultivate here in the future. It will be very impressive."
The scenery of the eighteen Fiend islands of Southern Dang Marsh was unique.
For example, this Breath Island. This island was not large, not more than a thousand steps away. The island was surrounded by reefs that were half-black and half-green, glowing with a jade-green light. They were piled up in a ring, encircling the entire island. Further in, the rocks started to show a half-black and half-red color, looking like lava that had just spat out, encircling the island as well.
As for the center of the island, it flickered with a golden light. Large rocks that looked like brass covered the ground. Furthermore, these rocks were used to prop up a cave. Even the fog could not conceal the light.
To those who did not know, this cave looked like it was made of pure gold.
One man and one flood dragon soon arrived. When Zhang Yan took a few glances, he felt it was strange. The caves that he took down during the day were all guarded by Fiend Soldiers. At the very least, there were at least a hundred Fiend Soldiers. However, this island was completely empty. He did not know if this Fiend had a strange temper or if there was something special about it.
He asked sullenly, "What kind of Fiend is cultivating on this island?"
Ao Tong replied, "I do not know about this. There are Fiend cultivators killing each other on this Southern Dang Marsh's eighteen Fiend islands every month. I do not know how many masters have changed. The Fiend cultivators that can occupy an island are definitely not weak."
After saying that, he seemed to feel that he had diminished his own prestige, so he added, "However, they are naturally not as good as Master …"
Zhang Yan ignored him. With a flip of his hand, he casually picked up ten Talisman and tossed them forward, saying, "Open!"
The ten Talisman flew forward like flying shuttles. When they reached the depths of the island, they exploded in the air at the same time. It was as if there was a sudden clap of thunder on the ground. Amidst the rumbling sound, the originally thick fog was immediately dispersed by half, revealing the true appearance within.
However, the strange thing was that there was still no reaction from the cave despite the loud noise. Zhang Yan could not help but feel a little surprised. Previously, no matter which Fiend Island it was, the Fiend Generals on the island would rush out before they even got close. How could it be like this, when someone came knocking on their door, they still did not make a sound?
Such a movement naturally alarmed the Fiend Lord of the island. However, this Fiend Lord had already found out that several Fiend Islands in the South Dang Swamp had been destroyed. He felt that he could not afford to offend the Qincang School, so he holed up and did not come out. After thinking about it, he knew that he would not be able to escape if he stayed here, so he dismissed his troops early. He originally had the intention to escape, but there was something in the cave that he could not give up at the moment. Therefore, he did not leave and wanted to take a few more glances. If Zhang Yan came here again tomorrow, perhaps there would only be an empty cave left.
Now that he heard the sudden explosions outside, he knew that something was wrong. He did not know how many people the other party had, so he simply holed up in the cave and refused to come out.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan could not help but laugh coldly. He took out the Cloud Filling Bowl from his sleeve and formed a hand seal. He flipped it in the air and the scarlet clouds instantly poured out like water bursting through a dam. They rolled around the island. The clouds looked as light as cotton, but once they came into contact with flesh and blood, they would become as heavy as mercury. Once someone was trapped in it, they would feel as if they had sunk into the bottom of the sea, unable to move at all. They could only be slaughtered by others.
The Fiend Lord knew how powerful this was, and his face turned pale. He knew that he could not escape today. A black wind swept by, and this Fiend Lord flew into the sky. He faced Zhang Yan from afar and said with hatred, "I, Huang Peng, cultivated on this island and have never offended your Qincang School. Why do you want to kill me? What is the reason? "
Zhang Yan raised his head and looked at this Fiend Lord. He saw that this Fiend Lord was wearing a long robe and was dressed like a middle-aged scholar. He did not look evil like the other Fiend Lords, and his cultivation was only at the first level of the Mystic Light Realm, similar to his own.
Fan Changqing had destroyed six Fiend Islands today. Although most of them were Mystic Light Realm cultivators, for some reason, most of them were ignorant and couldn't even speak properly.
Now that he had encountered someone who could speak clearly, Zhang Yan replied, "So it's Fellow Daoist Huang. I heard that in the ancient times, Heavenly Demons ran amok and treated us humans like ants, swallowing them as they pleased. At that time, did they ever talk about right or wrong? If it wasn't for the powerful cultivators of the human race fighting with the Heaven Beasts for a thousand years, shattering the land and shattering the pillars in the sky, giving us a chance to survive, the human race would probably still be food in the mouths of the Fiend Race. You ask me what is the reason? I'll tell you that this is the reason! "
After saying that, he didn't say anything else and pointed out with his finger. The Star Sword Orb turned into a ray of blue light and slashed down.
Huang Peng's complexion couldn't help but change when he saw how sharp that light was. He twisted his body and revealed his true form. It was a black eel that was ten meters long. A clear profound light flashed and enveloped his entire body. Then, it shrunk downwards and he actually dodged it.
Zhang Yan controlled the sword orb to chase after him, turning left and right. However, the light on Huang Peng's body seemed to be a bit strange. Not only was it very fast, it could also pass through the cracks in the rocks. It was extremely slippery. There were a few times when it looked like it was going to hit him, but it was dodged by a hair's breadth. Zhang Yan could only trap it in a certain area.
Zhang Yan sneered and pointed forward with his other hand. A ray of blue and green light also flew out. The two rays of light, one blue and one green, flew in front and behind. After circling a few times, the range of movement that Huang Peng could move became smaller and smaller, completely blocking the way.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Huang Peng made a strange cry in his throat. He curled his body into a ball, and the mysterious light on his body shone brightly. Then, he spun like a top, allowing the Ruyi Spirit Shuttle and the Star Sword Orb to hit his body.
However, when these two ferocious objects encountered the mysterious light that was as clear as fresh water, they slid to the sides as if they were slashing on a ball of grease.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but let out a "huh".
Taking advantage of this gap, Huang Peng stretched his body, let out a shrill scream, and rushed forward, turning into a ray of clear light and flashing away.
He originally thought that he could escape this time, and was using all his strength to fly forward. Who knew that when he had only gone a few dozen feet away, there was suddenly a golden light coming down from the top of his head. He didn't even have time to make a sound before he was wrapped in it.
The two mysterious lights that were like fire and gold twisted up and down, grinding away most of the flesh and blood on his body. At this moment, with a "clang" sound, something fell out of it.
The golden and red lights faded, and the figure of Zhang Yan appeared. He raised his hand, and the Jade Talisman flew out, collecting a trace of essence blood. He took two steps forward, bent down, and picked up the thing. He thought in his heart, I don't know what it is, even my golden fire mystic light can't grind it.
When he pinched it with his hand, it felt smooth and soft. He didn't know what it was made of. It looked like gold but not gold, like silk but not silk. It was light in his hand as if it had no weight. When he looked carefully, he found that there was a line of writing on it.
