The Demon Subduing Talisman had a bit of Zhang Yan's soul attached to it, so he could control it as he wished. After exiting the eye of the ocean, it turned into a thin wisp of smoke, flying towards the Shaoqing Sect Mountain Gate. Very quickly, it entered the area covered by the Essence Soul Energy.
When he entered, the sky darkened, the scenery around was blurry. The clouds in the sky were like blood and smoke that were glued together, it was extremely dirty and turbid. He didn't bother about it, just flying towards the Sun Piercing Mountain Mound.
After a long while, he saw a sword light moving about in front of him, like it was fighting with a few illusionary images.
Right at this moment, there was a sudden flash of light. It was the sword light that had slashed one of the phantoms. Along with a thunderous explosion that rumbled incessantly, the phantoms instantly exploded, and in the end, they transformed into a large mass of roiling turbid gas.
Zhang Yan knew quite a bit of the Shaoqing Sect's divine arts, and recognized that this art was the divine art of the Extreme Sword lineage, "Extreme Yang Thunder Shock". When the sword rose, it was as swift as light, and in an instant, thousands of sword lights shot out, to the point that when the sound merged together, it was like a thunderclap.
Just Now, the illusionary image was killed by the sword light, so it wasn't swallowed by the Void Hole. Naturally, there was still some energy left here. The Demon Subduing Slip naturally loved to devour essence, primordial energy, and souls. This was especially so since this illusion had the help of the heads of the six sects. The three treasures were all present, making it even more attractive to the slip. It circled around outside and continuously devoured the spiritual opportunity.
When Zhang Yan saw that, he was deep in thought, but he didn't stop it. The Demon Subduing Talisman's outer appearance was like smoke, so even if the scattered energy was snatched away, no one would notice.
At the same time, his illusionary image was driven by the Xuan Technique. At this moment, he arrived in front of the mountain gate. However, if he could sense that something was wrong, before he reached the area covered by the Xuan Technique of Shaoqing, he would stand still and not move. He didn't advance.
At this moment, the second batch of illusionary images were still fighting with Elder Xue, so naturally no one bothered about him.
After standing there quietly for an hour, the fourth batch of illusionary images arrived. Even though they had intelligence, because they were under orders, most of them were indifferent to others. Therefore, most of them turned a blind eye to him. They brushed past one by one, except for one. However, he stopped and asked with a gloomy expression, "Why don't you attack the mountain together?"
The reason why the Six Sects of the Fiend Sect summoned so many phantoms was to protect the reputation of the various sects. The people chosen were mostly elders in the sect, and there were no sect masters. Even because they were allied with Yuxiao school, there were no people from other sects. However, this person's tone and expression seemed to indicate that his status was not low.
Zhang Yan's illusory image glanced at him, then raised its hand and slapped the ground. A rumbling sound rang out. In an instant, the void collapsed, and the other party was shaken into a ball of spiritual vigor. Then, he waved his sleeve. He swung it away.
When the Demon Subduing Slip saw that, it flashed and swallowed the spiritual energy. After doing that, it circled around the Zhang Yan Illusion and suddenly flashed. Then, it darted toward the center of his brows.
The illusory image's brow rose up and he pushed with his hand. A streak of Mysterious Energy surged over and blocked the Demon Subduing Slip outside. However, at that moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and saw a sword light charging in from afar, heading right for his face. However, he didn't dodge and just looked on coldly.
Elder Xue's sword slashed over and he wanted to succeed. However, when the sword light slashed down, it brushed past the body of the illusory image like it was slashing into nothingness. It didn't touch anything and just passed through it.
He was startled. Could it really be an illusion?
Just as he was thinking about it, he had slashed out dozens of times. However, each time it slashed at where the illusory image stood, it passed through its body.
At this moment, he noticed that something was wrong and understood that this should be the ability of Zhang Yan's body. Now, the illusory image was using it too.
Although he didn't understand the profoundness behind it, he didn't have any fear in his heart. Instead, his eyes lit up and he was about to leap up and slash again. However, the illusory image grabbed onto him and his body froze, as though it was about to lean forward.
The Extreme Sword Sect focused on flying horizontally and vertically. They didn't have any worries and didn't have any heart to fight with others. They focused on moving around and searching for opportunities. In an instant, they would be thousands of miles away and in the next, they would be within three feet of the enemy.
Originally, if not for the Xuan Technique grabbing onto him, Elder Xue would have been able to use his teleportation ability to jump out of the battle circle. However, it wasn't possible, so he didn't retreat and instead advanced. With a loud shout, he transformed into thousands of sword lights and slashed forward.
The illusory image still didn't move, but a glass-like Qi Cover suddenly appeared on its body. When the sword light fell into it, it seemed to have entered an endless distance, unable to get close to him at all.
Elder Xue originally had the intention to attack in place of defense. Seeing this scene, he immediately turned his sword and wanted to fly out, but he heard a muffled thunderous roar behind him. The sword light trembled and he couldn't help but pause for a moment. At the same time, Just Now, he felt a pulling force on him. At the same time, the Qi Cover suddenly expanded, as though it wanted to trap him inside.
Elder Xue secretly cursed in his heart. He had long known that this Hall Master Du Zhen was not easy to deal with, but he didn't think that an illusory image would be so powerful. At the same time, he felt depressed. Many of the abilities of the Extreme Sword lineage relied on teleportation. Now that he was restrained, he might not care about it if he fought with ordinary people, but if he fought with an expert, this difference was very fatal.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he knew that his chance had come. This Mysterious Revolving Heaven Net Wall was deduced by him, so he naturally knew all the changes within it. Thus, with a push of his heart, the Demon Subduing Slip suddenly turned into a crystal light and rushed inside. Then, with a turn, it actually jumped over the barrier and went straight into the illusory image's eyebrows.
He had once thought that these illusory images could even use the original owner's Dao techniques, so it couldn't be obtained out of thin air. At the very least, it should have borrowed his own Qi. Then, there might be a connection between them.
Therefore, in his plan, he wanted to send the Demon Subduing Slip into his own illusory image and then find a way to make it his own through the soul hidden within it.
However, this was also because he wanted to avoid the Tribulation Fire and temporarily couldn't interfere in the battle. Just Now doing this, he couldn't be sure whether or not it would succeed, so he just wanted to give it a try.
Once the Demon Subduing Slip entered the illusory image's body, it immediately found an incomparably dark and dirty spirit. Without hesitation, it went forward and swallowed it. However, when it was about to use its soul to take over the illusory image, it slowly dissipated like fog.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he didn't show any expression of disappointment. He thought to himself, "The people of the Devil Sect are indeed experts in the way of the soul. As expected, there are no loopholes to exploit. The Tribulation Fire still hasn't dissipated. If I want to get out of here soon, it seems like I have to think of another way."
At this time, outside, Elder Xue had gathered all his mana and was about to fight with his life on the line. However, suddenly the illusory image in front of him collapsed. He couldn't help but be startled. After a while, he saw a thin mist flying out. He guessed that there was a fellow Daoist helping him, but he didn't know who it was. After thinking for a while, he took out his sword and leaped back to the mountain gate.
While the battle was fierce here, on the other side, Wu Yunbi and Zhou Ruying had returned to the mountain gate via the sea. If it wasn't for the Tribulation Fire, they might not have been able to escape from Zhang Yan's hands. Therefore, they were secretly relieved.
When they came to the hall, they reported back to the banquet and sat down.
Not long after he sat down, he heard the Hall Master of Bi Bi Temple say, "The Spiritual Gate just sent a letter, inviting me to think of a way to restrain the Yue Cang Sect to prevent them from being attacked from both front and back, or even fall short of success. I wonder what Senior Martial Brother's decision is?"
Taihao Sect Master Shang Shuting scoffed and said, "Although the six sects of the Spiritual Sect have made their move, they are attacking with illusory images now. Shaoqing has also taken out their profound technique. The two sides might not be able to determine the victor even if they fight for days and nights. Isn't it a little too early for me to make a move now?"
Everyone agreed. Although the six sects of the Spiritual Sect had made their move, the Shaoqing Sect had the mountain gate formation to rely on, so the outcome could not be seen for a while. However, looking at the current battle situation, there was indeed a need to delay.
Tan Dingxian said, "I think this is the right time, it's not appropriate to wait any longer. Everyone, you should understand that previously, the Qincang School did not dare to make too much of a commotion when it absorbed the Earth Qi because it was afraid that the fellow daoists in the world would notice. However, it's different now. They must have unleashed it. If the Earth Qi is damaged too much, even if we defeat the Qincang School after this, the Donghua Continent will also lose its spiritual opportunity. It will no longer be a place for us cultivators to live. Therefore, it's better to make a move as soon as possible."
Xiao Lingyun sneered, "Sect Master Tan, you're wrong. Although the Qincang School is my archenemy, the Spiritual Sect has to guard against it as well. Especially since the six sects seem to be fighting fiercely, but in reality, they have not suffered any damage. How can I make a move so easily?"
As soon as she said that, many people agreed with her.
Although the six sects of the Spiritual Sect were on guard against Yuxiao, Yuxiao's side was also on guard. Especially Nanhua Taihao, Yuan Yang, and the other sects, they knew that once they started fighting, they would definitely be the ones to charge at the front. Since they had the Shifting Feather Technique to determine fate energy, why would they fight to the death? At the moment, the six demonic sects were obviously suppressing Shaoqing. When Shaoqing lost a few people, they would naturally have a chance to win.
Sage Su Heng thought for a while and said, "After all, we've already made an agreement. It's not appropriate to sit back and watch. Why don't we make a compromise?"
Zhenren Kangzheng asked, "What do you think, Hall Master Su Heng?"
Sage Su Heng smiled and said, "Since he wants me to go north, then I'll go north and build up the momentum. However, we'll decide when to make a move. When we're outside the Great Pool of Dragon Lake, we'll surround them but not attack. This will also restrain the Qincang School, and the six sects of the Spiritual Sect won't be able to say anything about it. What do you think, Sage?"
Xiao Lingyun's face lit up and said, "Daoist Kang Zheng, this plan is feasible."
Shang Shuting also nodded and said, "When we're outside the Qincang School's mountain gate, even if something unexpected happens, we can immediately attack the mountain."
Tan Dingxian cupped his hands and said, "My Bu Tian Pavilion's mountain gate is already near the Mo Chi Yu Cliff. If Sage wants to go north, why don't you come to my mountain gate? This way, your journey will be safe."
Zhenren Kangzheng glanced over and saw that the Xiao and Shang Sect's masters were looking at him. How could he not know what they were thinking?
After he, Yuxiao, led the various sects to the front, the mountain gates of Nanhua Taihao, Yuan Yang, and the other sects would naturally be behind them. However, at the same time, it would be much easier to command the three sects.
After thinking about it, he felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so he slowly stood up from his seat and said in a deep voice, "I'll inform Peak Master Ming that Hall Master Xin Ming has just returned from outside the mountain. His mana has not recovered, so he'll stay here to guard the mountain gate. The rest of you, follow me north to attack Qincang."
