Zhang Yan looked around again and found that there was no trace of it on the Kunshi Continent. Either it had escaped his senses, or it had truly disappeared.
After some thought, he decided that the latter was more likely.
Unless the Devil had reached the True Yang level, it was impossible for it to be within his senses one moment and then disappear the next.
As for the fact that its past and future no longer existed, he didn't find it strange. Someone must have deliberately erased it.
If he wasn't mistaken, it must have been arranged by the person behind the scenes.
Most likely, his confrontation with the Taiyi Golden Bead had thrown the workings of heaven into chaos, allowing these things to enter the real world ahead of time.
Therefore, this wasn't a bad thing, but rather a good thing. It meant that his strategy had worked.
However, the sudden appearance of so many Gargoyles had caught the Elders of the various sects and clans by surprise. Thankfully, they hadn't let their guard down, and the Gargoyles hadn't charged out. After reporting the situation, Yuwen Hongyang immediately dispatched people from the Mountain and Sea Realm to stand guard in the Lower Realms, and quickly stabilized the situation.
Zhang Yan had a feeling that things wouldn't be over so easily.
But regardless of how the person behind the scenes had planned it, as long as they had a goal, there should be a sequence to it. Now that they had erupted, they had actually disrupted the sequence. As long as they could deal with them in time, they would be able to eliminate these hidden dangers in the future.
But now that one of the traps had been activated, it was possible that more would appear in the future.
Reality proved that his judgment was correct. In the following months, there were several more strange movements from the Devils, but because they were well prepared, they were all intercepted and killed.
But after a few more months, the situation changed again. The Devils were no longer randomly charging out, but instead, as if they were being directed, they would only break through the weakest points.
Zhang Yan was a bit surprised. If it were an ordinary Devil, after suffering a few setbacks, it wouldn't be strange for them to do such a thing. It wasn't strange for them to do such a thing, but these demonic creatures should have been following the orders of the person behind them. Now that they were able to avoid danger, if it wasn't because they had broken free from the control, it could be that the person behind them had sensed the unfavorable changes and had taken the initiative to reorganize the demonic creatures.
This wasn't impossible. Fu Qingming had guessed that it was because the person had lost his True Yang. Even if he had died, he could still use the remnant essence energy of the Divine Will to command the things behind him.
He pondered and said, "If this is true, then he might be hiding in some realm."
If it was just someone of the same generation playing tricks behind his back, he would not be afraid. But with the help of Bu Xutian's Weili, it would be a different story.
He immediately sat down and looked around. In a split second, he had scanned the ten thousand worlds, but he could not find any trace of this person. This meant that he was most likely covered by Bu Xutian's Weili.
His eyes flashed. He knew that the battle between the two sides was no longer about cultivation. It was about who had a deeper understanding of Bu Xu Tian's mysteries.
In reality, although there were many hidden dangers, it was not entirely a bad thing for him.
Because since this person could do this, then as long as he found a way to do it, he could also do it.
For the time being, he could take this person as an opponent, but he could also take him as a guide. At the same time, he could learn more from this person.
Over the past few days, all the unusual movements had been confined to the underground. He could not help but speculate that the other party could not directly trigger everything. Everything he did needed to be triggered by some external force, such as the two clones. Without these, his interference in the world would be very limited. If he could not make a breakthrough here, would he look for a way elsewhere?
This guess was quickly verified.
After another ten days, he suddenly found that the cracks in the ground had increased by a lot. This was a spontaneous change in the clear and turbid barrier. It was very sudden and there was no warning.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that the demons hadn't been trying to break out, but to create this kind of result.
The underground barrier was a dead object without spirituality. However, it moved according to a certain pattern. As long as it sensed that more demons than normal were heading to the surface, it would think that the number of demons underground had increased. The cracks would automatically increase to release the demons. This was not something that the person who set it up could not stop. At most, they could make up for it later.
He did not know about this beforehand. There was no record of it in the ancient books. Because the person who set it up was also a True Yang expert, he did not notice it in advance.
Thus, the Life Spirit Sect immediately sent more people down. However, this method did not solve the root of the problem, because the person behind the scenes could continue to incite the Demon Generals. Thus, the most suitable method was to send disciples to kill the Demon Generals and eliminate the Demon Generals at the beginning.
However, he changed his mind again and did not send the order to do so.
He thought that this might be one of the purposes. Once these Life Spirit Sect cultivators went down, it was very likely that they would be like the two incarnations of the Heartless Taoist group.
Even if he sent Sima Quan and Peng Qianqian, it would be useless. Even the True Yang incarnations were tricked. If they went down, they would not be able to escape.
However, this did not mean that he could not solve it. At most, it would take some effort.
In the past, since the previous people had set up a barrier, he could just set up another layer on top of it. However, doing so would consume a lot of Fa Li.
Now that the three forces could invade at any time, if it was in the past, he might have to consider it. Fortunately, he had mastered the method of maintaining Fa Li, so he did not have to worry about this.
He immediately changed his mind and a barrier that separated the clear and turbid Qi appeared out of thin air. It was boundless and limitless. In an instant, it covered the original barrier.
At the same time, his Fa Li and Yuan Qi were constantly consumed. However, he continued to erase it, so that his Fa Li was always maintained at the moment of perfection.
He calculated and found that the consumption was slightly more than he had estimated. In the past, there should have been several True Yang experts working together to do this. At that time, they also used other restrictive arrays.
Strictly speaking. The barrier that he created this time was not as intricate and complicated as the original one.
However, he did not need to do so. His purpose was only to block the passage that controlled the demons to come out. Doing this much was enough.
After doing this, he did not relax his attention. He continued to observe the changes in the depths of Bu Xu Tian. The person behind him would not just stop and wait for him to make another move.
And the more tricks the other party used, the more chances he had to see what he wanted.
However, in the following year, there was no more movement down below. It was as if everything had gone silent.
Zhang Yan was not anxious at all. He knew that the person behind him would not give up so easily. The chaos caused by him and the Taiyi Golden Bead was far from over, and he did not know when it would be over. If he did not do anything, then all of his arrangements would be disrupted. The only way to reduce the losses was to act early.
Kun Shi Continent, where the Fantasy Dust Sect was stationed.
This sect was in the middle to lower reaches of the hundreds of sects that guarded the rift. There was only one Yuanying cultivator in the sect. Apart from the sect leader, everyone else had gone to the Mountain and Sea Realm to cultivate. Because there were not many disciples that could be used, they were only responsible for guarding the rift.
One day, one of the disciples was on patrol when he suddenly noticed a strange disturbance in the restrictive spell formation. However, he could not find anything. It was at this point that he saw a Gargoyle being imprisoned by the restrictive spell formation. After a moment, the Gargoyle shattered and died.
However, the disciple soon discovered that there was a piece of black jade on the ground. It was smooth and glossy, and seemed to emanate a bright light.
The disciple's attention was immediately drawn to it, and he was convinced that it was some sort of treasure that lay beneath the ground. After a moment of hesitation, he looked around and saw that no one was around, so he pulled it out and placed it next to him.
After a day of patrolling, he returned to his residence and took out the jade. Inside was a technique that taught him how to attract Gargoyles, as well as how to absorb them. Furthermore, it did not require any external items. Although he was delighted, he also felt a bit depressed.
As a disciple on duty, the number of Gargoyles he could get his hands on was very small. He could only get one every month, and that was only in the Kun Shi Continent. In the Mountain and Sea Realm, he would only get one every year. The only way he could get his hands on those Gargoyles was to take advantage of the patrolling.
As soon as the idea appeared in his mind, he couldn't control it any longer.
If it were a large sect, they would be strictly supervised, and something like that would be impossible. However, the Fantasy Dust Sect was in charge of a large area, and yet they didn't have many disciples. That gave him even more of an opening to exploit.
The fact that he had been chosen to do such an errand showed that he wasn't bad compared to his fellow disciples, and had a steady temperament. However, he was so absorbed in the benefits that he didn't even think about the consequences.
The next day, while patrolling, the disciple used the black jade to secretly attract a few Gargoyles to the surface. He hid them inside the jade, and prepared to take them back that night to refine.
That night, he successfully made progress in his cultivation. Once he got the benefits, he couldn't stop. However, if he did too much, he would eventually be discovered. A few months later, his plan was leaked, and he killed a fellow disciple who had wanted to report the matter to the Elders. Then he fled the sect, whereupon his whereabouts were unknown.
Although it was a small matter, the Fantasy Dust Sect knew that there was no way to hide the fact that Gargoyles had leaked into the surface. Therefore, they immediately reported the matter to the higher-ups.
Zhang Yan quickly received the report, and he chuckled coldly. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, then this was most likely a backup plan of the person behind the scenes.
In the past, such a thing had never happened, or if there was even the slightest movement, he would have noticed it. But now that the workings of the Heavens were muddled, if he didn't investigate carefully, he would still be deceived. Furthermore, it was likely that this person was behind all of this.
This disciple came from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and had no previous connection to Bu Xutian. Therefore, if he wasn't in the outside world, then he could only have used Bu Xutian's Weili to interfere. Otherwise, traces of his magic would have been exposed.
He had been keeping an eye on Bu Xutian for the past few days, and his hard work hadn't been in vain. Just when the disciple was acting strangely, he had caught a trace of it. Although the past and future had been erased, making it impossible for him to know the details, he was still able to see the method the disciple had used.
His eyes suddenly grew dark. With this clue, he was now much closer to this person. If he dealt with it properly, it wouldn't be long before he found him.
