As soon as Spiritual Master Wan arrived in the Inner Realm, he felt a golden light fall and sweep past him. There seemed to be something extra in his originally pure dharma body. He pondered for a moment and understood that his whereabouts had been discovered by Green Jade Palace. If he didn't get rid of the foreign aura on him, he wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of this group of people. However, since he chose to come back, he was already prepared for the worst, so he naturally wouldn't care about this.
He walked toward the mountain gate for half a minute and then stopped far away. He cupped his hands and bowed toward the place filled with clear air and transmitted his voice, "Daoist Zhang, can you come over for a chat? I have something to say to you alone."
Feng Lan had already safely returned to the Inner Realm. He turned around and said, "It's a cultivator from Luo Mountain Temple. He should be someone who escaped to the Outer Realm Just Now. Why is he back now? I don't know what he's up to. "
Peng Zhangzhang Daoren said, "All Spiritual Masters are here. What can this person do?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "When I was at Luo Mountain Temple, I also met this person a few times. Let me go up and ask him."
Feng Lan reminded him, "Be careful, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan said it was fine and left Black Tortoise's back. He flew in the air and rode the wind forward. Soon, he came close and stood still. He said, "Why is Spiritual Master Wan looking for I?"
Spiritual Master Wan bowed and said with a bitter smile, "Spiritual Master Zhang, are you here to take back the divine item left behind by the patriarch?"
Zhang Yan smiled and didn't say anything.
Spiritual Master Wan hesitated for a moment before he looked up and said, "Now that mysterious stone is with me."
Zhang Yan's expression was normal as if he wasn't surprised at all. He said, "Then what does Spiritual Master Wan want?"
Zhenren Wan cupped his hands in obeisance and said with difficulty, "If I take out this item, could you please be magnanimous and let my Luo Mountain Monastery go this time? Oh, I can try to persuade Sect Master Zhenren to sign a contract. In the future, I will never dare to make things difficult for Zhenren Wan and all of you."
Zhang Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "Now that things have come to this, even if I is willing to let Mount Luo Monastery go, my fellow Daoists won't agree." As he said this, he looked over and said, "Moreover, this divine object doesn't belong to Mount Luo Monastery. Isn't it inappropriate for Wanzhen Ren to bring it over and negotiate with I?"
When Adept Wan heard this, he immediately looked ashamed. He sighed heavily and lowered his head. After a while, he slowly took out the glazed jade box from his sleeve, bowed, and handed it forward with both hands. "Daoist Master, the divine item is placed inside. It's finally time for it to come to an end after a million years of guarding it. I only hope that my actions this time can make the Ancestral Master pardon my Luo Mountain Monastery a little."
Zhang Yan's expression became solemn. He raised his sleeves and reached out to receive it. However, as soon as he touched the glazed jade box, a strange feeling arose in his heart. Even if he didn't take it out to see, he knew that the item inside was definitely real. However, this wasn't the time to investigate, so he calmed his mind and put the item into his sleeve. He said, "Zhenren Wan, if you don't want to see what happened down here, you can leave first. Green Jade Palace won't make things difficult for you."
Zhenren Wan knew that he was powerless to do anything about the situation in the monastery. He said gloomily, "Although I don't think I did anything wrong, I still disobeyed the sect master's orders. I don't have the face to stay here. Zhenren Zhang, farewell."
After he finished speaking, he bowed and walked towards the sky. After a while, the void opened up and he was already out of the sky.
In the Divine Hiding Cave, because of the formation, the people of Luo Mountain Monastery still didn't know what happened outside. They also didn't know that the Xuan Stone that they had been guarding for a million years had finally fallen into the hands of Zhang Yan, the fated person.
Master Xuan Hong was still making his last effort. He waited for his servant to bring the Dual Realm Dial and pressed on it. A ray of spiritual light floated up and illuminated the cave.
After a long time, Zhenren Song's figure appeared. He bowed and said, "Sect master is looking for me, I wonder what's the matter?"
Master Xuan Hong's voice was heavy. "Zhenren Song, the mountain gate's situation is as dangerous as an egg. Now that the mountain gate's formation has been broken, we can only bitterly defend the Divine Hiding Cave."
He explained the situation of the mountain gate and his plans. He added, "Zhu Zhu Tian, Huo An Tian, Jueyuan Tian and the other Tian Tian are not on good terms with the Green Jade Palace. Moreover, they are coveting the divine item in our sect. I'll have to trouble Zhenren Song to make a trip there and discuss the pros and cons with them so that they can help."
Zhenren Song said expressionlessly, "Luo Mountain Monastery only has itself to blame for what happened today. Sect master, please find someone else, I won't do this."
When Spiritual Master Bai heard this, she immediately said angrily, "Zhenren Song, what do you mean? You dare to disobey the sect master's order? Do you think you can get out of this matter just because the mountain gate is destroyed? "
Master Xuan Hong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since Zhenren Song is unwilling, I won't force you."
Zhenren Song bowed and said, "If there's nothing else, Sect Master, I'll take my leave.
Master Xuan Hong nodded and said, "Take care, Zhenren Song."
As the spiritual light disappeared, there was no more movement on the dial.
Spiritual Master Bai said angrily, "This Zhenren Song, how dare he do this?"
Master Xuan Hong said, "Times are different now, not everyone is willing to live and die with the mountain gate. Zhenren Song is, after all, a disciple of Luo Mountain. It's good for him to stay out of this matter. Even if we all die, we can still preserve the sect's teachings."
He had already made arrangements. Even if Zhenren Song failed, there was still Priest Gong who could complete the task, so he wasn't overly worried about it.
After Spiritual Master Wan left, Zhang Yan returned to the Divine Treasure Cave of Luo Mountain Monastery not long after.
Elder Peng did not ask him why he let that person go. Although he had the intention to destroy Luo Mountain Monastery, he was still invited by Zhang Yan in name, so he couldn't interfere too much.
Zhang Yan looked forward and was slightly surprised. Just Now, when he left, the formation was already on the verge of breaking, but now it had returned to its original state. He immediately knew that something had changed.
At this moment, Ao Shao, who had gone to inspect the formation, had returned. Elder Peng asked, "Master Ao, how is it?"
Ao Shao said, "I have discussed with a few Fellow Daoists, and we all think that this formation has two layers, the inside and the outside. Even if the outer formation can be broken, if the inner and inner formations can't be broken in a short period of time, the outer formation can reassemble, and we will have to start all over again. Although this arrangement is simple, it's harder to break than the mountain gate formation."
Zhang Yan's mind turned. As the guardian of the divine item, Spiritual Master Wan must know about the mysteries of this place. If he were to be called back now, they might be able to enter easily.
However, on second thought, it was not easy for Spiritual Master Wan to offer up the mystic stones. Moreover, with the power of the people here, even without Spiritual Master Wan, they could still find a way to break the formation, so there was no need to force him.
Taoist Tong Guang pondered for a moment, then said, "Just Now that the outer formation is broken, I see that the inner formation is somewhat similar to the outer realm formation."
Guo Juying also said, "That's right, I feel the same."
Everyone could not help but look at Zhang Yan. Since Zhang Yan could bring them through the Mysterious Flood Sky Forbidden Formation, he could probably pass through here as well.
Zhang Yan smiled, met everyone's gaze, and said, "I can give it a try."
Elder Peng said, "Alright, then let's break the formation again."
After everyone made up their minds, they utilized their Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures once more to attack the grand formation. The previous time, they'd already broken through the outer restriction in less than half a day, whereas this time, because everyone was already familiar with this place, only four hours had passed before they'd completely stripped off the layer of restrictions on the outer area.
Zhang Yan identified the formation and knew that the two sect masters were not lying. This was indeed the same source as the outer formation. He immediately raised his sleeve and activated the seal of the Du Zhen Hall Master. A ray of light shone down, and immediately, a clear path was opened up among the layers of air.
Feng Lan's spirit was lifted, and he said, "Once this formation is broken, let's see what other tricks Luo Mountain Monastery has to rely on."
However, Zhang Yan said, "Everyone, please wait. Although I can open up this path, I can't move the entire formation. The situation inside is unclear, and Master Xuan Hong has said several times that he has a killing move. If you enter, you must be extra careful."
Elder Peng subconsciously nodded. It was already the last moment, and there was no need to take the risk, so he said, "Then everyone can enter with your clones."
With a thought, Zhang Yan immediately formed a clone and flew into the God Trove Cave.
Elder Peng and the rest also sent their clones to follow.
Only Ao Shao and the other four heavenly masters were in the Sky Beyond Heaven, and since they were here with their clones, they did not make any disguises and went straight in.
After entering the inner room, Zhang Yan looked left and right. Seeing that the terrain was narrow and difficult to turn, he slowed down and moved forward without meeting any obstacles. In just a moment, he reached the depths of the cave. At this moment, his field of vision widened, and he saw a large platform in front of him. Behind it was a giant wall that was in the shape of a semicircle. The top of the wall extended upwards and was hidden in the clouds, making it impossible to see its full appearance.
At this moment, Master Xuan Hong was standing here with the remaining five Perfected Masters of Luo Mountain Monastery. He could naturally see that Zhang Yan was only here with his clone, and his eyes instantly turned gloomy.
He had indeed planned to use the terrain to bury the invaders in one fell swoop. Although he knew that the possibility of this was very small, he still had a little hope. Now that his hope was dashed, he knew that even if he had to die together with the enemy, he would not have the chance.
Following the continuous flow of light from outside, the many powerful cultivators who came to attack Luo Mountain Monastery appeared beside Zhang Yan one by one. Rays of bright light illuminated the originally dark area, making it as bright as day.
At this point, it was just a fight to the death. There was no need for words. Master Xuan Hong shouted and his body swayed. Instantly, his body turned into a monstrous flood, moving the mountains and moving the seas as it swept forward. The five Perfected Masters of Luo Mountain also turned into a torrent, combining their strength and flowing forward together!
Elder Peng looked at the majestic momentum and said coldly, "It's just a struggle before death." As long as he killed these people in front of him, the Luo Mountain Monastery and its scattered cultivators would only exist in name. With such a meritorious deed, it would be enough for him to secure his position as the head of the hall, and there would be fewer obstacles in his plans.
At this moment, a light flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, he took a step forward and stood in front of the crowd. Behind him, there seemed to be a flash of five-colored brilliance. Then, there was the same rumbling sound of the surging ocean. A curtain of water climbed up from his body and covered the flood!
