Zhang Yan focused his gaze, and the letter flew out of Dandy Light's hand and landed in front of him. With a flash of golden light, the letter opened in front of him.
This letter was written by a Supreme Elder of the Dao of Virtue. At the beginning, it was a greeting. Then, it mentioned that the disciples who had caused trouble for the Forgotten Mountain had been punished. Then, it changed the topic and hoped that he could rein in his disciples and not make things difficult for the Second Prince.
After that, they would invite him to come out of the mountain, and together with the Dao of virtue, they would expel the entire Dao. When the new monarch succeeded the throne, they could order the Celestial Court to build another hall outside of the main hall to worship him. If he wasn't willing to do so, then it would be best for him to say that he wouldn't help either side and seal the mountain. That way, De Dao wouldn't come looking for trouble with him.
Even though the tone of the letter was calm, it was clearly condescending and didn't allow for refusal. Moreover, it carried a faint trace of threat. Furthermore, from his attitude of not wanting to reply to the letter, it seemed that he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't give in.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. The letter suddenly turned into specks of golden light and dissipated in the hall. Even if it wasn't for the fact that De Dao's conditions were akin to charity, he would never agree to them.
Because De Dao was the one benefiting from the order of the world, he did not wish to see any changes in the universe the most. If he wanted to invade the universe, De Dao was the first obstacle that he had to overcome. He and De Dao were natural enemies.
After he dismissed Wan Guang, he began to ponder.
Celestial Thearch and Heavenly Mother Turtle only had two sons, the eldest son of Celestial Thearch, Hao Zheng, and the second disciple, Hao Kui.
From the perspective of inheriting the throne, Hao Zheng, the eldest son of the first wife, was the best choice. Moreover, he was generous and honest. No matter who he treated, he was always gentle and modest. He truly had a human heart. The celestial officials had always praised him for this.
However, this person was stubborn and loved the people more than he loved himself. He had said many times that once he ascended to the throne, he would remove the authority of the deities. This was something that the Sky King did not like.
Not only that, he was very dissatisfied with the disciples of the Dao of Virtue taking offerings from the celestial heavens for no reason. He even said in front of others that he would find a way to remove these offerings one day. Such words and actions caused the Dao of Virtue to think that he was not a suitable candidate to be the next emperor.
Since there was no better choice, both parties turned their attention to the Second Prince, Hao Ji.
Zhang Yan knew that this was only what it looked like on the surface. De Dao only needed the successor to the throne to continue worshiping them. As long as it was a descendant of the Hao family, it was fine. He didn't need to care about who it was. Just like how Quan Dao could choose the Third Prince and the Eleventh Prince, De Dao had other choices besides the Second Prince in order to be safe.
This time, he had ordered Chengguang to attack, but he had found out that the Second Prince was much more important to Zique Mountain than he had expected.
Or rather, the other chess piece had not matured yet, and the Second Prince was still needed to stand in front.
If he could find it, he would be able to destroy the Dao of Virtue's arrangements.
He believed that Quan Dao was also looking for this person, or perhaps he had already confirmed it. However, since Quan Dao and the others did not discuss this matter with him, it seemed that they did not intend to take the initiative to tell him.
Actually, he didn't have a good impression of Quan Dao either. It was just that before De Dao was expelled, he had no choice but to borrow his strength.
In the past, the Complete Path rarely suppressed the Virtuous Path. Therefore, he similarly needed his support now. Therefore, before the two sides overturned the Virtuous Path, their basic interests were the same. However, some small conflicts were also unavoidable.
He thought that if he went to report, De Dao would definitely reveal it, but there was also a possibility that De Dao would say that he didn't know. Since that was the case, he might as well ignore them and do things according to his own way.
After thinking about it, he summoned Chengguang, gave him some instructions, and ordered him to go down the mountain again. Then, he meditated and waited for the situation to change.
In a flash, two years had passed.
Ever since the Bi Qi couple had settled at the border of the Soaring Dragon Country, they had lived in peace for almost three years. During this time, they had given birth to a son. Because no one had come to find them, the two of them had thought of bringing back a pair of children. However, some tribulations could not be avoided.
For the sake of the battle for the throne, the princes of the lower realms could not help but attack each other. Most of the demons and ghosts under their command were recruited from the other countries of the continent. This also caused the demons in the country to all go to serve them when they heard about it.
One day, a group of demon soldiers broke into the village where the two of them were staying. Not only did they burn, kill, and loot, they also ate the flesh and blood of the villagers.
The Bi Qi Fairy couldn't bear it and killed the group of demon soldiers. This scene happened to be seen by an immortal official who went to recruit demon soldiers. Because he was once a prince's attendant, he immediately recognized the identity of the Bi Qi Fairy.
After seeing that she was married to a mortal man, he was extremely shocked. However, he also knew that this matter involved too much, and it wasn't something a small immortal official like him could get involved in. Thus, not only did he not dare to make it public at first, but he also covered up the matter.
Until half a year later, because he accidentally knocked over the golden cup that the Celestial Emperor had bestowed upon him during a banquet, the prince he served was punished and arrested. The prince said that he would be executed and then sent to the Underworld. Because of this, he was resentful and revealed the matter.
This matter could no longer be covered up. Soon, the whole world knew about it. The Heavenly Mother was furious and sent people to capture them again. This time, the Bi Qi Fairy and her husband didn't escape.
The Bi Qi Fairy was punished to be imprisoned under the Heaven Root Altar and was guarded by the red dragon. Her husband, Lin Shuyang, was forced to swallow the Revival Fruit and was thrown into the Inferno Prison to suffer the pain of refining his body every day.
However, for some reason, the Heavenly Mother didn't make things difficult for the children they gave birth to. Instead, she took them with her and raised them herself.
Although Zhang Yan was at the Forgotten Li Mountain, nothing in the world could be hidden from him. He saw everything that happened here. He immediately called for Danguang and asked, "How is the progress of the two children?"
Danguang replied, "Ancestral Master, Lin Huaizhan and Lin Ying 'er's progress is very fast. Although they have only cultivated for a few years, it is equivalent to a hundred years for a normal person." He put his hands together and a light screen appeared in his palms. A young man and woman around the age of fifteen or sixteen were cultivating there.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. They were worthy of being the disciples of the gods. When they came up the mountain, they still looked like children. However, after two years, they had already grown to the age of a normal young man and woman. Not only their bodies, but their minds had also caught up.
However, only the descendants of the Celestial Emperor and Heavenly Mother would have such miraculous changes. Moreover, they were very rare. As far as he knew, among the princes, only the eldest prince was like this. As for the normal gods, they only had longevity and were no different from the mortals of the lower realm.
He said, "These two can go down the mountain to train. Send Lin Huaizhan to Jie Ying's place and Lin Ying 'er to Ying Kuang's place. They will naturally have their own fortunes."
After Danguang received the decree, he went to make the arrangements.
When Lin Huaizhan and Lin Ying 'er heard that the sect was letting them go down the mountain to train, they were very happy. After bidding farewell to Danguang, they went their separate ways according to the sect's instructions.
However, they did not think of rescuing their parents. This was because when they entered the sect, Danguang had sealed a part of their memories to prevent them from distracting themselves from cultivating. He planned to release it only after they had achieved some success in their cultivation.
Lin Huaizhan rode on the clouds and went straight to Yanlu Country. A few days later, he arrived at the country's zombies. He descended and followed the aura to find Jie Ying's residence. After reporting to Jie Ying, he first handed over a letter that Danguang had written. After a while, someone invited him in.
Jie Ying was very happy to see Lin Huaizhan. After being sent down the mountain, he kept in constant contact with the sect, but in the end, he didn't receive much support. Lin Huaizhan's arrival gave him some confidence.
On the same day, he reported this matter to Second Prince Hao Neng.
When Hao Neng knew that Mount Li Wang was coming, he took this matter very seriously.
Among all the princes, Hao Neng appeared to be the weakest. This was because he had never recruited demon soldiers and because he was demoted, there was not a single true god in Zhou Country. However, because of this, his rule was the most stable.
However, he also knew that this stability was not stable. Before his eyes, there were already a few princes who requested for him to give up the offerings under his rule. Otherwise, they would come and take it themselves. Under such circumstances, he really needed strong support. At this moment, the Forgotten King Mountain had officially dispatched a disciple here, and it was an extremely good piece of news, and it would give him a little more confidence to deal with the upcoming expedition of those Imperial Princes.
Zhou Country Xi Shang said. On a dirt platform in a ruined state city, a fierce demon with a goat's head and a human body was tied up by a Qi lock. It was kneeling on the ground. However, its ferocity did not diminish. It stared at Ying Kuang and his disciple with bloodshot eyes.
Ying Kuang said in a deep voice, "Ping Sheng, I will leave this demon to you."
Ping Sheng replied and walked to the front. He chanted, "The sky darkens and the earth darkens. The netherworld serves me. Gather fire as Yang, transform blood into Yin …" As he chanted, a blood-red formation wheel spun under the goat-headed demon's feet. Then, a blood-red light soared up like a flame. In a flash, the demon's flesh and blood melted away, leaving only a skeleton on the ground.
Ping Sheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Master?"
Ying Kuang nodded and said, "Yes. Among all the talismans, Xue Wu's ferocity is the heaviest. You can control it and your mind will not be blinded. I will teach you Li Shu now. "
Ping Sheng said happily, "Thank you, master."
Ying Kuang grunted in acknowledgment. Apart from the Dao techniques that he had cultivated, he mainly relied on the Heavenly Talismans. Over the years, he had discovered a set of divine techniques that ordinary people could use from the Heavenly Talismans. The technique that his disciple had just used was one of them.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something. He looked to a direction and saw a Daoist standing there. Behind the Daoist was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. He frowned and said, "Daoist Priest Wan Guang?"
Wan Guang cupped his hands and said, "Zuo Yuzhong greets you."
Ying Kuang returned the greeting and said in a deep voice, "Daoist Priest, have you thought about my last suggestion?" All these years, he didn't do anything because he was waiting for Forgotten Li Mountain's reply. Now that Wan Guang had arrived, he thought that Forgotten Li Mountain had made a decision.
Wan Guang smiled and didn't answer. He called Lin Ying Er forward and said, "My disciple is going to leave the mountain to train. Please take care of her, Zuo Yuzhong."
Ying Kuang couldn't help but frown when he didn't obtain the answer he wanted. However, when he looked at Lin Ying 'er again, he couldn't help but have a thought. He noticed that the latter actually had traces of the Hao Clan on her. His thoughts spun like lightning, and he instantly changed his mind. He said, "Alright, your disciple will stay with me for now."
