Zhang Yan identified the location of the aura, and with a flash of light, he returned to the boat.
Ever since he left with Lord Zhongling, Elder Peng and the rest had been on high alert. Now that he had returned alone, they welcomed him happily and said, "Sage Zhang, how is the demon?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Lord Zhongling is dead. You can rest assured."
Elder Peng could not help but reveal a joyful expression. Because of Lord Zhongling, they had always felt like there was a thorn in their backs. With the demon's death, they had resolved an extremely troublesome external threat. He cheered, "With the demon's death, it seems like Yang Yougong and the others have lost an arm."
Zhang Yan said, "Not only that, if I's guess is correct, Yang Yougong and the rest relied on the demon's scale feather to travel freely to different worlds. After the demon's death, the spiritual vigor on the scale feather must have dissipated."
The jade booklet he had obtained had detailed descriptions. When cultivators roamed the void, if they wanted to borrow the power of the Mo Feather Fish, then they had to protect the lives of these demonic fish. It was precisely because of this that the Great Kun's cave abode had been specially prepared with Xuanming Water so that they could survive. However, the scales and feathers alone were useless.
Elder Peng's heart skipped a beat. He looked over and said, "In other words, Yang Yougong and the rest have no way out?"
Zhang Yan said, "That's right. However, the spiritual vigor of the scale feather will not dissipate in a day or two. I'm afraid it will take some time. Besides, we still have to prevent it from escaping into the void. If we are more careful, we might be able to kill everyone."
Elder Peng's expression turned solemn. He lowered his head and thought for a while. "It seems like we have to make some adjustments to the previous arrangements." He looked up abruptly and called the Deacon Daoist who was standing in the distance to greet Zhang Yan. He then apologized and went to the side to call Feng Lan and Guan Longzhao over to discuss how to arrange the follow-up battle.
Zhang Yan didn't see He Xianyin and Mei Ruoqing here. He guessed that they had joined the battle. Previously, when he was in this Half-World, he could directly look into Wujue Heaven, but now it seemed to be covered by a layer of fog. He asked the Daoist in charge, "How is the battle now?"
The deacon said, "Shang Zhen, please come and take a look." He walked a few steps and arrived before a jade. He gently waved his sleeve and the image of the Inner Realm appeared.
Zhang Yan looked over, and he saw energy and qi colliding everywhere. Moreover, there were numerous grand rays of light moving and leaping to and fro, and everywhere they passed, the heavens and the earth collapsed and the stars exploded into pieces.
He shook his head. There were at least ten Enlightenment Enlightenment cultivators fighting here. After this battle, there would probably not be many places left in this realm that could accommodate cultivators.
The deacon Daoist then said, "It's still too early to determine the winner of the Wu Jue Heavenly Battle. You really know that when cultivators of Du Jue Heavens fight, they won't be able to determine the winner without exhausting all of their mana and vitality." He waved his hand again, and the light on the jade disc disappeared. Everything disappeared, and he said, "Now, we can only observe for a few dozen breaths at a time. If we look for too long, Yang Yougong and the others will sense it. For example, that layer of fog was created by him to hide us."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. He said, "I will go to the inner hall to cultivate. If there is a change in the battle, call me."
He guessed that the true strength of Yang Yougong and the others was not limited to what they had shown. There must be a lot of tricks that they hadn't used yet. This battle could still be fought, and it wouldn't be strange for it to continue for a few more years. He didn't have to wait here for nothing. He could go back to cultivate first.
The deacon thought that he needed to regulate his breath after a battle, and hurriedly said, "Shang Zhen, don't worry. If there is any change here, I will inform you in time."
Zhang Yan left the main hall, turned around, and returned to the residence that was arranged for him. He threw out a set of formation flags and scattered them around, isolating the inside from the outside. Then, he sat down on the praying mat. He looked forward for a moment, and the Profound Stone appeared again. With a thought, Yuan Qi continuously flowed into his body.
He could feel that the growth of vitality and mana was gradually slowing down. It was not as good as before. After cultivating for a period of time, he might need to use the circulation technique. However, he didn't forget the feeling from before. Especially after hearing Lord Zhongling's words, he became even more vigilant. Even if this person was boasting, he wouldn't speak without thinking. Therefore, he decided that after this matter was over, he would go to Yu Kun and Ying Zhao and ask for help.
After thinking, he cleared his thoughts and calmed his mind. Then, he entered the Zhi Ding Temple.
He sat there for two years.
During this period of time, no one came to disturb him. It wasn't until a familiar aura was approaching that he sensed it and opened his eyes. He waved his sleeves and removed the formation flags arranged outside. He said, "Fellow Daoist, come in and talk."
The deacon Daoist walked in and said, "Shang Zhen, the outcome of Wujue Heaven is about to be decided. Elder Peng ordered me to come here and invite Shang Zhen to come and discuss."
Zhang Yan nodded, stood up from his seat, and followed the deacon Daoist to the hall.
Elder Peng was already waiting there. When he saw him, he came up to greet him and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, after listening to what you said, I used an instrument to secretly check. The spiritual vigor of the middle realm of Jueyuan Heaven is indeed dissipating. Yang Yougong and the rest can no longer return to their own world through that place. However, they seem to have noticed it."
Zhang Yan was not surprised, he said, "Lord Zhong Ling and Yang Yougong were originally not on the same side, but because of your side's influence, they joined forces. Both sides help each other, but at the same time, they are also on guard against each other. Yang Yougong and the others could sense it, maybe they left some arrangements on the border."
Elder Peng thought about it and agreed, "This is very possible. Although Yang Yougong and the rest did not show any signs of losing, they obviously have the intention to retreat. I originally wanted to wait for them to consume more vitality before making a move. However, if this is the case, we have to make a move earlier. "
Zhang Yan asked, "What is Elder Peng's plan?"
Elder Peng Daoren said, "Now, apart from fellow Daoist, all the people that can be sent out have been sent out. However, they still can't take down Yang Yougong and the rest. Therefore, I can only ask fellow Daoist to make a move."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "I might be able to kill one or two of them. However, if the rest see that the situation is not good, they will definitely try to escape. I wonder if Elder Peng has made any arrangements?"
Elder Peng Daoren said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. I have an instrument that I brought out from Green Jade Palace. There are two of them. One of them has been placed in Wujue Heaven. As long as I bring the other one over, I can seal the world for a short period of time." As he spoke, he took out a golden bracelet with nine rings and handed it over. "Fellow Daoist, please keep it well."
Zhang Yan took it and looked at it for a while before putting it into his sleeve. He said, "Since Elder Peng has arranged everything, then I will make a trip."
Elder Peng cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan nodded. With a wave of his sleeve, he got out of the boat and floated into the Myriad Empty World Ring.
In Wujue Heaven, the two sides had been fighting for several years. Almost everyone had used up their last Dharma body. At this point, everyone became even more careful. Although they were still fighting back and forth, their priority was to stay alive. After that, they would look for an opportunity to kill the enemy.
However, at this moment, a powerful aura surged into the world.
The people fighting on both sides looked over at the same time. As a beam of five-colored radiance flashed past, they saw a young Daoist in a black robe step through the void. His sleeves fluttered as he appeared in the sky.
When Ao Shao and the others saw him, they could not help but feel invigorated.
On the other hand, the people on Yang Yougong's side had solemn expressions. Lord Zhongling had promised that he would try to delay Zhang Yan. However, the latter had still appeared here. This meant that Lord Zhongling had either been defeated or had died. Zhang Yan had previously killed a cultivator in the Second Stage of Perception. Now that he had joined the battle, it would be very disadvantageous to them.
Zhang Yan looked around and his gaze quickly fell on Ju Yu. He did not say anything. He only lifted his sleeve and pointed a finger at Ju Yu.
At this moment, the world seemed to freeze. There was no longer any distance between the two sides. It was as if everything had been stripped away. In the next moment, the finger had already landed on Ju Yu's forehead. A look of regret appeared in the latter's eyes.
Zhang Yan did not take another look at him and turned around. Behind him, the giant carriage's body emitted cracking sounds as tiny cracks spread across its body. After a few breaths of time, it collapsed into countless fragments of light and fell into a profound hole that had suddenly opened up.
Everyone present revealed shocked expressions, especially the people on Yang Yougong's side. They found it hard to believe that a great cultivator who was extremely close to the fourth tribulation would be killed so easily in front of them.
Heavenly Lord Huo An's eyes flickered. He secretly circulated his magic power and his body turned into a ray of clear light as he flew out. With a rumble, he crashed into the sky wall, attempting to break through the void and escape to outer space.
Although the Heavenly Lord and the others had noticed his actions, they did not extend their hands to stop him. This was because this action was undoubtedly cutting off his path of survival. If a cultivator of Enlightenment were to fight with his life on the line, it would be extremely difficult to deal with. If they were unlucky, they might lose their lives. At this point, they felt that victory was already decided, so there was no need for them to do so.
However, the result was unexpected. Under Heavenly Lord Huo An's actions, there was only a rumbling echo, and he was unable to break through the Heaven and Earth Barrier. His body paused, and his expression could not help but become extremely ugly.
Just Now, Yang Yougong did not move at all, as if he had expected this result. He sighed and said, "Heavenly Lord Huo An, the Heaven and Earth Barrier has been sealed. You won't be able to leave alone."
Han Su looked at Zhang Yan's figure in the sky, and her eyes revealed incomparable fear. At the same time, there was a trace of imperceptible regret. She gritted her teeth and said, "We can trap him for a while, but we can't trap him for long. As long as we block him for a while, we still have a chance to escape."
Zhang Yan looked down from above, yet he didn't say anything. He just stretched out his hand, and surging profound energy swept out. After a short moment, an enormous palm that could overturn the heavens had appeared, and it pressed down towards Yang Yougong and the others!
