Hearing this, Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue's expression became stern, and a murderous glint flashed in her eyes. Her blood qi surged, and her appearance changed greatly. Her black hair gradually turned silver, as if she couldn't help but want to attack.
However, she was still afraid of Zhang Yan's strength, so she forcibly suppressed her boiling blood qi and sighed softly, "6000 years ago, the Heavenly Ghost was powerful, and several ghost ancestors joined forces to invade the various tribes of the Western Desolate Domain. My Demonic Moon bloodline was no exception and was defeated by the Heavenly Ghost. Because I'm the descendant of Bo Xuan, and he considers himself the descendant of Bo Bai, he didn't kill me. He only forced me to make an oath that I won't be enemies with his descendants in the future. Not only that, if he needs help, I'm sorry I can't help you because of this."
At this point, she changed the topic and said, "Although I promised them to deal with you, it's not my fault if I can't stop them."
Zhang Yan smiled, understanding the meaning of her words. Although this Demonic Ancestor was forced to make an oath before, the restraint wasn't as great as imagined. At this moment, seeing that the sects of the nine continents were powerful, she didn't want to risk her life to make things difficult for them.
Even so, he wouldn't listen to this demon just because of this. With a flick of his sleeve, a page of golden book appeared.
Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue didn't reach out to catch it. She let it float in front of her and asked vigilantly, "What is this?"
Zhang Yan said, "This is a contract to bind the actions of both parties. I can leave today and won't make things difficult for you again if you put your soul and blood essence into it."
Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue's expression changed slightly. Although she didn't know what the consequences would be after signing the contract, she could imagine that it would definitely not be a good thing.
There were no words on the contract, but there was a divine intent on it. She only needed to look at it slightly to understand the meaning. It was asking her not to intervene before the outcome of the battle was decided. She knew that if she didn't sign it, she would end up like the Fire Mane Demonic Ancestor. After hesitating for a moment, she forced out a wisp of blood qi from her fingertip and pressed it on the contract.
After the contract absorbed the blood qi, it trembled slightly and turned into a golden light that flew up. Then, it split into two. One flew towards Zhang Yan, while the other flew into the space between her eyebrows.
Zhang Yan allowed the golden light to fall into his sleeve. Once the contract was signed, he would destroy the Heavenly Ghost Tribe. There was no need to pay too much attention to this demon.
As far as he was concerned, the best thing to do would be to just kill the woman. That way, he wouldn't have to waste any more energy. However, she was a Demon Patriarch, and if he fought her, he would have to pay a heavy price. Not only would the Mountain and Sea Realm be damaged, but he would also be complying with the wishes of the Heavenly Ghost Tribe. Therefore, he didn't even need to fight her.
Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue was forced to sign the contract. She couldn't help but feel resentful. She said coldly, "The Heavenly Ghost Tribe is not as simple as it looks. They have the help of the Beyond Heavens Upper Realm. You must be careful."
Zhang Yan said, "How much do you know about the Beyond Heavens Upper Realm, Fellow Daoist?"
Demon Ancestor Gou Yue said, "This junior has hidden himself very deeply, I know very little about him. However, I have heard that more than ten thousand years ago, heavenly fire also fell from the South Sieve Hundred Continents, and it was very similar to what the Heavenly Ghost Tribe saw." With that, she bowed, turned into a silver light, and disappeared.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. If Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue's words were true … If what Demon Patriarch Gou Yue said was true, then the Beyond Heavens Upper Realm must have been arranged by the Beyond Heavens Upper Realm. However, it was also possible that Demon Patriarch Gou Yue was unwilling to be forced to sign the contract, so she set up a bewildering barrier.
However, from the information they had received previously, the Hundred Southern Sieve Continent had begun to stir after they occupied the Frigid Jade Ocean Continent. In such a large realm, there might be Demon Patriarchs as well. If they jumped out to oppose them now, it would be troublesome. When he returned, he would have to pay more attention.
At this moment, outside the Frost Jade Sea Prefecture, an Inky Flood Dragon was stretching its body, and its claws were waving as it climbed the clouds.
Yuan JIngqing stood on the back of the Flood Dragon and looked at the mountains and rivers in front of him. Because most of the islands in the Sea Prefecture were moved from the Nine Continents, he felt a sense of déjà vu when he looked at it.
Lu Xuanji looked around curiously and said, "Master, is this where the Qincang School's mountain gate is?" He looked forward and saw a floating peak in the clouds. The temples and pavilions were faintly discernible, and he couldn't help but want to go over and explore.
Yuan JIngqing seemed to have seen through his intentions and said, "Follow me to visit your Grandmaster first."
He ordered the Inky Flood Dragon under his feet to stop on an uninhabited island, and then he used a talisman.
Not long after, a ray of light descended from the sky and landed in front of the two. Fu Baoxing stepped out and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, you are back."
Yuan JIngqing came up and bowed, saying, "Senior Brother."
Fu Baoxing looked at Lu Xuanji and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Yuan, is this your new disciple?"
Yuan JIngqing said, "Yes, Xuanji, this is your Uncle-Master. Come up and greet him."
Lu Xuanji came up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Uncle-Master."
Fu Baoxing laughed and said, "No need to stand on ceremony. You are Junior Brother Yuan's eldest disciple, and as your Uncle-Master, I don't have anything decent to give you. I will just give you this Flying Fish Shuttle that I used when I was young."
He waved his sleeves, and a spiritual light fell in front of him.
Lu Xuanji's eyes widened, and he saw that it was a silver fish talisman. At this moment, it was jumping non-stop like a live fish that was pulled out of the water. He liked it very much, but he didn't accept it immediately. Instead, he turned to look at his master.
Yuan JIngqing said, "Since it's a gift from your Uncle-Master, then accept it."
Lu Xuanji chuckled and went forward to accept it. He felt a slight struggle coming from the fish talisman, but he was even more delighted. After fiddling with it for a while, he looked up and asked, "Uncle-Master, what's the use of this treasure?"
Fu Baoxing said, "This treasure has one benefit. As long as you infuse it with Spiritual Vigor, it can help you fly regardless of your cultivation."
Lu Xuanji was even more delighted when he heard that. He bowed again, "Thank you, Uncle-Master."
Yuan JIngqing said, "Go to the side and refine it. I have something to talk to your Uncle-Master."
Lu Xuanji responded and excitedly ran to the side to refine the fish talisman.
Fu Baoxing smiled and said, "Recently, the Heavenly Ghost Tribe has been very restless. They have tried to attack the Earth Abyss several times. My master is busy with this matter and isn't in the sect at the moment. I'm afraid that you won't be able to meet him."
Yuan JIngqing said, "Then I'll wait for my master to return. I'll go and meet him then."
Fu Baoxing said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother has been outside for a long time. I'm afraid that you don't know that Eldest Apprentice-Sister and Second Apprentice-Brother have already achieved Grotto-Heaven."
Yuan JIngqing was a little surprised but felt that it was reasonable. He thought for a while and said, "Then I should send a gift."
Fu Baoxing smiled and said, "There's no rush. Eldest Apprentice-Sister and Second Apprentice-Brother are wiping out the demons outside for the Cold Jade Sea Region. They won't be back for a while. Hmm, Junior Apprentice-Brother, do you want to set up a cave abode outside or cultivate in a small world? I'll arrange it for you."
Yuan JIngqing thought for a while and felt that it was better to cultivate in a small world. However, he cultivated the Yuan Chen Sensory Nerve. At this stage, he needed to understand the changes in Spiritual Vigor through actual combat. It was better to go out and kill demons than to cultivate in seclusion. Moreover, it was more convenient for him to teach his disciples. Hence, he said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother wants to set up a cave abode outside."
Fu Baoxing thought for a while and said, "That's fine. The Sea Region is vast. Whatever you want, I'll arrange it for you."
Yuan JIngqing said, "I'll trouble you after I meet my master."
As they spoke, the two heard cheers coming from the sea. Lu Xuanji was riding on the Fish Talisman, flying around in the sky. Sometimes, he crashed into the waves, and sometimes, he pierced through the clouds. He was full of excitement.
Fu Baoxing was a little surprised. Just Now, he saw that Lu Xuanji's aptitude was only ordinary. He thought that it would take him a few days to create the Fish Talisman. He did not expect that in such a short time, Lu Xuanji had already done it well. Fu Baoxing sighed, "Junior Apprentice-Brother's disciple seems to be very talented."
Yuan JIngqing looked over and said, "Let's see how far he can go."
A few days later, Zhang Yan returned to the Du Zhen Hall. Jing You came up to report that Yuan JIngqing had brought his disciples to the Cold Jade Sea Region. They were waiting to meet him. After thinking for a while, Jing You said, "Summon them."
After receiving the order, Yuan JIngqing brought Lu Xuanji up to the Floating Heavenly Palace. After reporting to the door, they entered the Du Zhen Hall. He bowed and said, "Disciple greets my master."
Lu Xuanji also knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Grand-disciple Lu Xuanji greets Grandmaster."
Zhang Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Rise, everyone. “
After Lu Xuanji stood up, because he was curious about his grandmaster, he sneaked a glance up. However, before he could see clearly, he felt a clear light in front of him. Before he could see anything, his head became dizzy.
This was because the vital energy of his soul was too weak and it was oppressed. Fortunately, Fu Baoxing had already given him a jade talisman to protect himself before he came here. His body only swayed but he didn't collapse.
Seeing him like this, Yuan JIngqing patted his back and channeled some energy into him. He said, "Guard the Jade Talisman with your mind."
Lu Xuanji did as he was told. After a while, he felt that his vision was no longer dizzy, but he did not dare to look again.
Zhang Yan said, "Disciple, you've been gone for a year, but your cultivation has improved a lot. What are your plans now that you're back?"
Yuan Jingqing said, "I haven't seen my senior brothers and sisters for a long time, so I'd like to bring Xuanji to visit them. When I was outside earlier, I felt that I need to constantly comprehend the mysteries of the Sensory Nerves through battles, so I think I need to go out to train."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Recently, Zihong is re-establishing the Yaoyin Sect and has already chosen a place outside. However, there are too many demonic insects in that place and they can't kill them all. Since you want to hone your skills, why don't you go there and help? “
Yuan JIngqing bowed and said, "If Senior Brother Wei needs help, I will do my best to help. “
At this moment, a letter flew in from outside the hall. Jing You went up to receive it and read it. He walked to Zhang Yan and said, "Master, Chongyue True Temple sent a letter. They said that their sect is being attacked by a few Demon Saints, and they hope that I can help."
Zhang Yan took the letter over and read it, his eyes flashed a little. When the sects established themselves on the sea, they had either chased or killed a few demonic beasts on the sea, and the enemies who were invading right now, were the few that had escaped the net. Not long after, they actually dared to fight back, there was something fishy about this. He thought for a while, sneered and said, "Instruct Yan Yi and Tian Kun, tell them to immediately head to the sea to help."
