While the Qincang School was sending its disciples to explore the land and rivers, a delegation from the Shanyang Clan was on its way to the Shanyang Clan.
The person in charge of this mission was the elder of the Upper Six Tribes, Zhu Chi, and the deputy was Fan Li Qing of the Fan Li Tribe. Yang Yansheng was also in the mission, but he was only a servant.
Sending him out to the Shanyang Clan was supposed to be a reward, but in fact, it was to banish him further away from the Shanyang Clan, so that he would never be able to return.
Yang Yansheng had already guessed it, but he was powerless to resist, so he could only endure it silently.
The delegation from the Shanyang Clan rode on a Two-headed Divine Ray. Its back alone was more than ten miles wide, and when it flew, it could emit hundreds of howls of powerful monsters. Not only could it force the monsters to retreat, it could also easily break through the blood qi barrier.
Zhu Chi was sitting in the highest palace on the back of the divine ray. Ever since he left the Shanyang Clan, he had been trying to find out more about the cultivators of the nine continents, but the more he learned, the more shocked he became. He thought, The strength of these cultivators from the outer heavens is not limited to what they showed on the surface.
He thought for a while and said, "Go and invite the deputy Fan Li here."
Not long after, Fan Li Qing came and said respectfully, "Clan elder, do you have something to tell me?"
Zhu Chi looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Are the lowly people still safe?"
Fan Li Qing said, "Don't worry, Clan elder. Yang Yansheng will not be able to return this time, so don't worry about his relationship with his beloved daughter."
Zhu Chi nodded and no longer asked about the matter. Instead, he said, "Just Now, I received a letter from the Eastern Barren Country. According to the information, these cultivators from the outer heavens are here to take over the land."
Fan Li Qing was startled, and he said in confusion, "Of course. Otherwise, why would they occupy the Frost Jade Ocean Province that destroyed the Ming Clan? "
Zhu Chi shook his head and said, "Deputy Envoy, there is something you don't know. These cultivators of the nine continents don't come from just one force, but from the union of several forces. Among them, the two most powerful forces are called Dark Blue and Shaoqing. The one occupying the Cold Jade Ocean Continent is only Qincang. "
Fan Liqing's thoughts moved quickly, and he immediately thought of the crux of the matter. He frowned and said, "In that case, he might go out again to seize territories?"
Zhu Chi said solemnly, "Not maybe, but definitely."
Fan Liqing pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Clan Elder is afraid that they will take a fancy to my Earth Abyss Blessed Land, but the Northern Heaven Cold Abyss is so vast, why would they leave it alone and not occupy it? Instead, you came to find me? You should know that our Shanyang Clan is not any weaker than the Annihilating Ming Clan. "
Zhu Chi said with a gloomy face, "What if they are not satisfied after occupying the Northern Heaven Cold Abyss?"
Without waiting for Fan Liqing to answer, he continued, "At that time, their forces had already grown so much that even if our Shan Yang Clan wanted to retaliate, we wouldn't be able to."
Fan Liqing asked, "Then … Elder, are you planning to drive him out while his footing is unstable?"
Zhu Chi revealed a helpless expression and shook his head. "It's easier said than done. I can't even destroy the Ming Clan. Furthermore, the Upper Six Tribes of our Shanyang Clan would never agree to start a war for no reason. "
Fan Liqing said, "Then we can only sit back and watch?"
Zhu Chi said solemnly, "Vice Messenger, you are wrong. Shanyang Clan can't do it, but there are people in the west who can. "
Fan Liqing was shocked, and at the same time, he said hesitantly, "But ever since we came to the Northern Heaven Cold Abyss, we haven't been in contact with those people in the west for thousands of years. But will it work? "
Zhu Chi's eyes flickered, he said, "There's no need to contact them. We just need to spread the news of the cultivators from beyond the heavens to the west and exaggerate it. I don't believe that they won't make a move."
Inside the Turbid Sky Green. A gust of wind blew past, and Fu Baoxing walked out from it. He looked around and saw a huge lotus.
He stepped on a cloud and came before the lotus. He bowed and asked, "Are you Great Sage Qu Lian?"
An old face that was condensed from mist appeared on the lotus and said, "Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"
Even though Fu Baoxing's qi was not as strong as him, he could tell that he was related to Zhang Yan, so he was very polite.
Fu Baoxing said, "My name is not worth mentioning. I'm here to meet Demon King Qu Lian under my master's order."
Great Sage Qu Lian was moved, he asked, "May I know who your master is?"
Fu Baoxing said, "I came here three months ago. Do you still remember?
Great Sage Qu Lian said, "So you are that person's disciple."
His heart was filled with eagerness. Since the other party was willing to talk to him, it meant that the other party could save his life.
Fu Baoxing said, "The Ming clan has already been destroyed by the Zhenren of the various sects in the nine continents. Now, the Cold Jade Ocean Province belongs to the Yue Cang Sect. However, there are different opinions on how to deal with the Demon King."
At this point, he intentionally paused for a moment before continuing, "A few Zhenren said that you, Demon King, are demons after all, and your nature is hard to change. Keeping you alive would be a disaster, so they proposed to kill you. However, Master said that you can still be of use to me, and said that I can let you live for now."
Great Sage Qu Lian understood the meaning behind those words and said gratefully, "Yes, as long as you are willing to let me go, I can make a vow to serve you as my master forever."
Fu Baoxing said, "You don't need to serve anyone as your master. You just need to guard the mountain gate of Qincang School and protect the disciples. Can you do that?"
Great Sage Qu Lian didn't understand the meaning behind the mountain gate, but it didn't stop him from expressing his attitude. He immediately said, "I will do whatever you want me to do."
Fu Baoxing nodded and asked, "I heard that you have many subordinates outside?"
Great Sage Qu Lian said, "Yes. Although I know that it will be necessary to kill them in order to destroy the Bright Demon Clan, as long as the ancestral spirit root is not destroyed, no matter how many you kill, it won't take long for them to regenerate."
Fu Baoxing asked, "Isn't Demon King Curved Lotus worried that his ancestral veins and spirit roots will be severed?"
Great Sage Qu Lian chuckled and said, "You might not know this, but in order to cultivate the divine power, I have already fused with the ancestral spirit root. I will live and die with it. However, I'm still here, which means that the spirit root is not destroyed."
Fu Baoxing thought to himself. If this was true, then Great Sage Qu Lian was willing to tell me about such a secret. This was enough to show that he was sincere. However, it didn't matter even if he wasn't willing. As long as the vow was made, Fu Baoxing didn't have to worry about him going back on his word.
He took a deep look at Great Sage Qu Lian and threw out a golden talisman contract. He said, "Demon King, you only need to inject a strand of your essence into it, and I will release you."
Great Sage Qu Lian didn't hesitate and spat out a mouthful of essence. The contract trembled, and a dazzling golden light appeared on it. At the same time, he felt that there was a subtle connection between him and this item.
Fu Baoxing reached out and took it back. He examined it and saw the phantom of a lotus flower on the contract. It was complete with roots, leaves, and buds. He knew that Great Sage Qu Lian wasn't lying. He nodded and said, "Great Sage Qu Lian, you're really smart. I will release you now."
He took out a pill from his sleeve and gave it to Great Sage Qu Lian. He said, "Demon King, you only need to take this pill and you will be released."
Great Sage Qu Lian was restrained by a kind of ghost poison, so he was constantly in a weak state. In this way, his vitality wouldn't be damaged, but he also couldn't fight against Great Sage Qing Pi.
Zhang Yan also knew a little about alchemy, so he knew the reason when he came here that day. When he returned, he asked Zhou Chongju to refine a pill for him to detoxify the poison.
Great Sage Qu Lian spat out a breath and shattered the pill, then he sucked it in. Not long after, the entire ground shook slightly. Then, the branches and leaves stretched out, and his body slowly rose from the ground. Then, the leaves opened, and a cloud of smoke rose. A white-haired elder came out. He walked to Fu Baoxing, bowed, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Great Sage Qu Lian, for helping me escape."
Fu Baoxing said, "There's no need to thank me. I was just following orders. However, even though you've escaped, there are still many things that need to be arranged outside. I'll have to trouble you to stay here for a few days."
Great Sage Qu Lian couldn't wait to leave, but since he had already gotten rid of the shackles, it wasn't unacceptable for him to wait for a few more days. Most importantly, he was restrained by the contract, so he didn't dare to disobey the other party's orders. Thus, he said, "Great Sage Qu Lian, don't worry. If no one calls for me, I won't dare to leave."
Fu Baoxing rolled up his sleeves and kept all the blood stones. Then, he rode the astral wind and flew out of the blue sky.
When he was outside, he used his mana and went straight to the Floating Heavenly Palace. When he landed outside the Hall of Duzhen, he sent a message and was called in. He walked into the hall and bowed. "Master, disciple has asked Great Sage Qu Lian to sign the contract."
Then, he took out the contract and presented it.
Zhang Yan looked down, and the contract floated up and landed on the table in front of him. At that moment, Jing You walked in and said, "Master, Shaoqing Ying Zhen Ren wants to see you."
Zhang Yan thought about it and nodded. "Invite him in."
Fu Baoxing bowed and said, "Master, disciple will take his leave first."
Zhang Yan said, "Wait in the side hall first. I have something to tell you later."
Fu Baoxing replied yes, bowed, and retreated first.
Not long later, Ying Chunqiu walked in. After greeting him, he said, "My sect's Sect Master Zhenren is patrolling outside the sky. He has already decided on a place for us to establish our sect, so he ordered me to discuss with Zhenren."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Sect Master Yue told me about this yesterday. I will definitely help your sect. However, this time, the enemy's strength is stronger than the Ming Clan. Moreover, the journey is long. If we attack in a hurry, there will be a lot of casualties. We need to think about it at length."
Ying Chunqiu bowed and said, "Sect Master Zhenren has ordered that before he returns, everyone in Shaoqing can listen to Zhenren's arrangements."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "All the sects in the nine continents will advance and retreat together. Tomorrow, I will invite Zhenren to the hall to discuss this matter."
