Guo Juying also stood up, but he didn't move from his position. He said, "Rumor has it that there are three Demon Kings in the chaotic space vortex. For a thousand years, we've only seen one of them, and it's imprisoned here. With the help of this formation, we've been reducing its vitality every day."
Zhang Yan nodded. He felt that the layout of the seal was very meticulous. As long as the fierce demon's Qi leaked out, the person suppressing it in the formation could use the formation to purify its Qi. Although after a while, the person would definitely purify ten percent of the Qi, the remaining twenty percent could be used to maintain the seal. This was equivalent to using the demon's own strength to wear themselves down.
As long as the people here persevered, after a thousand years, it wouldn't be difficult to weaken the demon to a very weak state, even if they couldn't kill it.
He said, "I won't come. I think it won't be difficult for you to deal with this demon."
Guo Juying sighed softly and said, "When we came out, we brought almost all the external medicine of the sect with us. We even used our Karma points to exchange for a lot of them. That's why we were able to hold on until now. If this continues, even if we manage to suppress this demon, how many of us will be able to return to the sect alive?"
The fat Taoist said, "Sect Leader, now that Fellow Taoist Zhang has come to help, I think we'll be able to get out of this predicament soon."
Guo Juying nodded slightly and turned his head. "What does Fellow Taoist want to do?"
Zhang Yan looked for a while longer and felt that the wisp of Demon Qi was somewhat familiar. He thought for a while and said, "Let I observe for a while."
Guo Juying agreed and sat down again.
The fat Taoist asked, "Sect Leader, what method does Fellow Taoist Zhang have?"
Guo Juying replied, "Fellow Taoist Zhang's Qi is unfathomable. With my mana, it's difficult to see what his cultivation is. This time, he came to the Yuhuan Heavens with something bestowed by the Patriarch."
The fat Taoist revealed a look of envy and yearning. "The Patriarch's direct disciple. I wonder what kind of divine ability Fellow Taoist Zhang cultivates."
The Milky Lake Sect and the Tanbo Sect were both taught by Daoist Master Xun Yue. However, they all knew that although their Founding Master was the disciple of the Great Underworld Founding Master, there was still a gap between them. There were many divine abilities, dao arts, and even cultivation methods that couldn't compare to those of direct disciples.
Zhang Yan continued to investigate the demonic aura. In the end, he was able to confirm that the demonic aura belonged to the same species as the Feng Bat.
At this moment, he had two choices. The safest one was to occupy a position in the array and help the nine people refine this demon. Originally, Guo Ju's side already had a slight advantage. With his additional help, the time needed would be greatly reduced. Perhaps within a hundred years, this matter could be resolved.
However, delaying for a long time wasn't what he wanted. Thus, he had another option, which was to release the monster and let him go alone to finish it off.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Sect Leader Guo, this restrictive array can only trap and lock. Although it has suppressed the demon, it has also isolated it from the outside world. I am unable to injure it severely. I want to release the demon and kill it."
When Guo Ju Ying heard this, he was slightly startled and couldn't help but ponder.
When Spiritual Master Yu heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately stood up and said anxiously, "You can't. Back then, Master sacrificed his life to seal this demon. We have also guarded this place for hundreds of years. To put it bluntly, if we release this demon, what if Spiritual Master Zhang can't subdue it? Then wouldn't all of our hard work be for nothing?"
The other Spiritual Masters all looked at each other but didn't say anything.
They were only Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivators, far from Zhang Yan. They admitted that it was hard for them to make the right decision. The only one who had the right to make a decision was Guo Ju Ying.
Everyone was silent for a while.
Guo Ju Ying thought deeply for a long time and finally made a decision. He solemnly bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "Friend Zhang, then I will leave everything to you."
Spiritual Master Yu panicked and said, "Sect Leader Spiritual Master …"
Guo Ju Ying waved his hand and said, "Spiritual Master Yu, Friend Zhang didn't hesitate to come here because we are from the same sect. If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't say that." Then, he turned around and bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "Friend Zhang can do whatever you want. If you need any help, just let us know."
Zhang Yan's expression turned solemn and bowed, "Thank you, Sect Leader Guo."
Guo Ju Ying said, "I will leave everything to you."
Zhang Yan nodded. He took a few steps forward and waved his sleeve. Rays of white light flew out. They were all magic tools used to set up formations.
Guo Ju Ying said, "Friend, this is …"
Zhang Yan said, "To prevent any accidents, I will first set up a defensive formation. Even if this method doesn't work, Sect Leader Guo and I will work together and it won't be hard to suppress this demon again."
No matter how confident he was, he wouldn't not have a backup plan. Moreover, with this formation, he could appease everyone and it would be much more convenient to act later.
As expected, when everyone heard this, their expressions relaxed.
Guo Ju Ying sighed, "I didn't expect Friend Zhang to be skilled in setting up formations."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I just know a little. It's good that Sect Leader Guo doesn't want to show off."
Guo Ju Ying hurriedly said, "No, no."
Under the guidance of Zhang Yan's Fa Li, the Array Artifacts landed everywhere. After a few breaths, a Array Formation was set up.
There were many cultivators here who were skilled in formations. They observed and nodded their heads. This formation wasn't exquisite and couldn't be set up in such a short time. However, it was arranged in an orderly manner. One could see that after the formation was set up, as long as the person in charge had enough mana, it wouldn't be hard to suppress the target in the formation. From this, it wasn't hard to deduce that this Priest Zhang was very confident in his mana.
Zhang Yan placed the formation plate and inspected it again. After confirming that there weren't any mistakes, he stopped. However, he didn't activate it immediately. Instead, he sat down and regulated his breathing.
After a while, he opened his eyes. In a trance, everyone felt as if a thunderbolt had flashed across the hall. He said in a clear voice, "Sect Leader Guo, please open the formation and let this demon out."
Guo Ju Ying didn't hesitate. He was already prepared. He circulated his mana and poured it into the formation. The Daoists at the side didn't sit still and do nothing. They found the key points and sent in a spell every now and then.
After about a quarter of an hour, the entire golden hall actually began to shake, and then a wave of turbid demonic aura penetrated out, looking like a mass of dark clouds. The originally peaceful area in the formation, for a moment, turned jet-black, and showed signs of melting and overturning.
Everyone's expression changed slightly. Guo Ju Ying's expression was even more solemn. They had fought with this fierce demon for hundreds of years and knew how powerful this demon was. They had originally thought that after these hundreds of years, this demon should be very weak, but now that they saw it, although it was not at its peak, it had at least preserved seventy to eighty percent of its strength. From the looks of it, their original judgment had been too optimistic.
At this moment, many people couldn't help but have a doubt. Could this Daoist Zhang really successfully take down such a demon?
Zhang Yan was standing at the front. He raised his head and saw that this demon was a "Plentiful Bat". It was just that compared to its kind, its body wasn't much bigger. However, there was an additional row of red eyes on its abdomen. From these eyes, one could feel a twisted and evil energy. He could sense that this wasn't pure demonic aura. This demon seemed to have been tainted by something.
However, the things in front of him were not important. Since he had already released it, it was time for him to make his move. Using his Divine Will to observe, he instantly saw the future of the demon. Then, he lifted his sleeves and lightly pointed a finger forward.
Boom!
Like a sudden clap of thunder, the entire hall shook for a moment. The demonic aura was just now aggressive, as if it wanted to suppress everything in its path. However, under this one finger, the life and evil aura suddenly disappeared. After a moment of pause, the body suddenly collapsed, turning into countless fine fragments that fell to the ground.
"This …"
Everyone couldn't help but stand up, their expressions filled with disbelief. But after sensing it, the demonic aura no longer existed. The fragments also merged back into the world. It was clearly dead.
Guo Ju Ying was also shocked. He thought that Zhang Yan would be able to successfully take care of this demon, but who would have thought that with just one finger, it would be completely destroyed.
Zhang Yan's aura was slightly lower than it was Just Now. In all fairness, based on the aura of this demon, it wasn't as strong as Ju Rong. It was just that its vitality was incomparably strong. If one didn't have the ability to destroy it in one blow, there really wasn't much they could do to it. The Milky Lake Sect's strategy was correct. Otherwise, once this demon tangled with them, they only needed to rely on this advantage to torture everyone here to death.
Guo Ju Ying stepped out of the array. This was the first time in hundreds of years that he had moved his feet. He felt as if the heavy pressure on his body had been lifted. He sighed slightly, then walked up to Zhang Yan and solemnly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Everyone came back to their senses and bowed in unison.
Zhang Yan accepted it calmly, then said, "Sect Master Guo, since the demon has been eliminated and everyone is free, why don't you follow I and leave this place?"
Guo Ju Ying said cheerfully, "That's exactly what I was thinking. But the spell boat we came here with has been destroyed, so we'll have to trouble you again."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Please follow me, Fellow Daoists."
He led the way and brought everyone onto the Sky-Scraping Spell Boat. Before Guo Ju Ying left, he put away the huge mass of water again.
After arriving on the boat, Zhang Yan ordered the servants to lead everyone away to settle down. Only Guo Ju Ying remained in the hall. He sighed and said, "If it wasn't for you today, I don't know what kind of situation our generation would be in."
Zhang Yan invited him to sit down and asked, "May I know why your sect came here in the past?"
Guo Ju Ying said, "I'm ashamed to say this. Back then, there were fierce disputes in the realm. In order to protect ourselves, the Milky Lake Sect wanted to refine a treasure. This kind of treasure could only be found in Green Jade Palace and needed to be exchanged for with Karma Points. That was why we received the Demon Subjugation Edict and came here to find that demon."
Zhang Yan asked, "Did you manage to find that demon?"
Guo Ju Ying said, "After entering this place for a hundred years, we found it and combined our strength, we were lucky enough to kill it. Unfortunately …" He shook his head and said, "It's really hard to predict the mysteries of heaven."
Zhang Yan said, "No matter what, Sect Master Guo and the other Daoists are now free from the calamity. Everything that happened in the past can be restarted."
Guo Ju Ying nodded and then asked, "Fellow Daoist, since you've come here from the outside, do you know how the juniors in my sect are doing?"
