Mysterious Spirit Island
Zhang Yan was cautious in his actions. When he was talking to Shen Cong, he secretly ordered Zhang Pan to summon Wei Lihua. After she confirmed that the man in the sack was Shen Yan, she sent Shen Cong, who was sweating profusely, out of the sea boat with a smile.
After returning to his room, he carefully counted his gains and found that he had about four thousand drops of Ren Kui Water Essence in his hands. He was satisfied and thought to himself, "I took advantage of Chongyue Zhen Temple, but I didn't return them. Even if there's an inside story, the elders of Xu Cuo's clan won't let this go. I can't go to Chongyue Zhen Temple's flying boat celestial market. Why don't I go to Tao Zhenren and release the two Daoists first before making other plans."
As he was thinking, he heard Zhang Pan shout from outside the door, "Master, Daoist Guo is here."
Zhang Yan was planning to go find Guo Lie. Hearing this, he became spirited and stood up, saying, "Quickly invite him in."
Guo Lie walked in with large strides, shouting as he walked, "Daoist Zhang, this is strange. What kind of trick are you playing? This Shen Ming Gu has never been willing to suffer losses. How did you get him to return them with a letter? If you say it's because of friendship, I, Old Guo, definitely don't believe it. "
Zhang Yan smiled but didn't talk about this matter. He only said, "Daoist came at the right time. Now I have the intention to visit Tao Zhenren and release the two Daoists' seals on Lu and Jing. However, I don't know the way. Can Daoist help me?"
Guo Lie had just heard that Zhang Yan asked for Shen Yan back. This meant that he had made the right decision in asking Zhang Yan to help him in the first place. This would allow him to gain face in front of the younger generation. He was happy and didn't mind Zhang Yan changing the topic. He said, "I came for this matter. My master lives on Mysterious Spirit Island. Without the guidance of a talisman, I'm afraid Daoist won't be able to find that place in your lifetime."
Mysterious Spirit Island was made by Tao Zhenhong using his qi to gather earth. This island floated on the sea. Other than Clear Feather Sect disciples with talismans, outsiders couldn't enter.
Guo Lie took out a talisman from his sleeve and flicked it towards Zhang Yan. He said, "Brother Zhang, refine this item."
Zhang Yan raised his hand and caught it. Holding it in his palm, he didn't hesitate and immediately injected a strand of Qi into it. In a flash, a spell appeared on it.
He took a closer look and knew that this was the key technique that focused on how to capture the aura and deduce the location of Xuanling Island.
He saw that the incantation was exquisite and couldn't be compared to ordinary incantations. Obviously, it was a secret technique passed down in the sect. He smiled and said, "Dao friend, by giving me this incantation, aren't you afraid that I'll leak it out?"
Guo Lie laughed aloud and said, "After the first month, our Pure Feather Sect will establish our sect on the sea, a new sect apart from the ten great sects of the Daoist sects. Do you think we'll be afraid that our sect will be coveted by others? If that's the case, why don't we disband earlier? "
Zhang Yan nodded. Although Guo Lie's words were arrogant, the world was unpredictable. Over the past ten thousand years, other than the three great profound sects of Yue Cang, Shao Qing, and Yu Xiao, the other great sects had been replaced from time to time. Who knew what the situation would be like after a thousand years?
The Donghua Continent was about to face a calamity. Maybe Clear Feather Sect would be able to rise and dominate.
After Guo Lie finished laughing, he looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "Old Brother, let me ask you one more thing. After removing the two Fellow Daoists' seals, where are you planning to go?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I came out of the sect to find the medicine to condense the pill. Now that I have the Four Marquises Water, I will return to the Donghua Continent to find another medicine after I refine the Pill Transformation Water for you."
Guo Lie waved his hand and said, "Brother, I'm not in a hurry. My Clear Feather Sect is about to open. Why don't you stay and watch the ceremony?"
Zhang Yan looked at Guo Lie and nodded with a smile. "The opening of your sect is a joyous occasion. I will send you a congratulatory gift."
Guo Lie laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, don't feel bad. Just listen to me. You will be rewarded when the time comes."
He was still injured and couldn't talk for long. After a few more words, he returned to his room.
After he left, Zhang Yan thought that Guo Lie seemed to have something else in the end. However, there was no point in thinking about it now. He would know when he arrived at Xuanling Island.
Thinking of this, he cast aside his thoughts, made a hand seal, and carefully deduced the location of Xuanling Island according to the talisman. He yelled and activated the talisman. The Chidragon ship suddenly let out a roar, and the thirty-six Dragon-climbing Pillars rotated at the same time, stirring up huge waves and pushing the atmosphere away. The ship went straight to the southeast.
The direction of Xuanling Island where Tao Zhenren was located was filled with storms and waves. If it was a normal boat, it would not be easy to reach this place. It would have to avoid the thunderclouds and storms according to the talisman's instructions to avoid getting caught up in it.
However, the Dragon Country's boat was sturdy and did not need to worry about such things. Even if it plunged into a storm, it would not shake at all. Thus, the journey was smooth and stable.
Zhang Yan pushed the speed of the Dragon Country's boat to the limit. In less than 10 days, he saw a black reef floating on the island. According to the talisman's instructions, this was where Xuanling Island was. However, there was nothing else other than this black reef. He knew that there must be a barrier around this place.
While he was inspecting it, Guo Lie had already flown out of the ship in a streak of light. When he was in midair, he stretched out a finger and a small hammer that shone with a dazzling golden light struck the reef twice and thrice, emitting a series of 'dong dong' sounds.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light soared into the sky. A short cultivator flew out from the reef and said loudly, "Which fellow disciple has returned?"
Guo Lie shouted, "Brat, could it be that you don't recognize me? Hurry up and open the barrier! "
The short cultivator was shocked when he saw this. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "So it's Martial Uncle Guo. Please wait for a moment."
He did not dare to delay. He quickly took out a talisman and waved it at the opposite reef. The scenery in front of him rippled like water. Then, it suddenly separated and moved a corner of the illusion, revealing a door.
Guo Lie pressed down the cloud and landed on the top of the treasure pavilion. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, just go inside."
Zhang Yan nodded and drove the boat inside. After passing through the barrier, he felt his vision open and the world in front of him had changed.
In the distance, there was a spirit mountain that was a hundred zhang tall. There were ancient trees that reached the sky, clear springs and waterfalls. On the cliff, there were palace eaves, old vines and dragon branches climbing up the walls. There were four floating islands that surrounded the mountain, each occupying one side. There were arched golden bridges between them. From time to time, spirit apes would climb over and there were faint whistling sounds coming from the empty mountains and valleys.
When Zhang Yan saw this scene, he was also amazed. He had seen many similar scenes in the sect, so it was not very rare. However, this Tao Zhenren was only a third layer Yuanying cultivator, yet he could condense such a blessed land with his mana. He did not know if he had someone's help or if he had relied on some powerful magic treasure.
Wei Lihua and the others also came out of the treasure pavilion and stood on the deck with Zhang Yan. Before the boat reached the shore, a streak of light passed by. As if it saw them, it turned in the air and landed. A black-skinned Daoist appeared. He looked left and right and said, "Martial Nephew Wei, you've returned? Why don't I see my nephew? "
Wei Lihua did not expect this person to suddenly appear and could not help but take a step back. She looked at the two people from the same sect behind him and took a deep breath. She said in a low voice, "Martial Uncle Dai, Senior Martial Brother Dai, he …"
The middle-aged Daoist's expression changed. He took a step forward and said anxiously, "What happened to Dai Huan? Could it be that something happened to him? "
Wei Lihua hesitated for a moment but still said, "Senior Martial Brother Dai has been harmed!"
"What?"
The beard on the middle-aged Daoist's chest moved even though there was no wind. His sharp gaze swept towards Zhang Yan who was behind them and shouted, "Who dares to harm my nephew? Is it this person? "
His voice rumbled and reverberated throughout the valley.
Guo Lie frowned and glared at him, saying, "Dai Daoren, what are you saying? If it wasn't for me, Brother Zhang, we might not have been able to catch the person who killed your nephew."
Zhang Yan also knew that this person's heart was in a mess because of his nephew's death. He did not have the intention to target him, so he did not mind. However, looking at this person, he clearly had the cultivation of a minor Jindan. He thought to himself, "Looking at this person's surname and appearance, he is also not a disciple of Tao Zhenren. I wonder where he came from."
Wei Lihua did not dare to say more. She quickly opened the perfume pouch on her waist and took out the human sack. She untied the zipper and tipped it down. A person rolled out.
Xu Cuo was stuffed into the human sack and was originally unconscious. However, he had a strong foundation after all. When the sun shone on him, he woke up with a quiver. He saw a middle-aged Daoist looking at him with a murderous expression.
Wei Lihua pointed at him and said, "This person is the murderer who killed Senior Martial Brother Dai."
Xu Cuo saw the Daoist looking at him coldly and instantly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, my father is Xu Gongyuan. If you want to kill me, you better think carefully."
"Xu Gongyuan?"
The middle-aged Daoist was shocked. He wanted to make a move but hesitated. He saw Guo Lie looking at him with a face full of mockery. He gritted his teeth and formed a spell with two fingers. With a clang, a magic sword flew out of its scabbard and slashed down.
Xu Cuo turned pale with fright. He wanted to dodge, but his body was restrained by the Talisman. He could not move at all. He could only watch as the flying sword fell. However, when the flying sword reached the tip of his nose, it stopped and did not fall. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The middle-aged Daoist's fingers trembled and a struggling expression appeared on his face. In the end, he stomped his feet and shouted. He put the flying sword back into its scabbard. With red eyes, he shouted at Wei Lihua and the others, "Why is it not you who died, but my nephew died!"
When he finished, he did not greet them. He turned into a wisp of smoke and flew towards one of the jade peaks on the island.
Guo Lie said with a face full of disdain, "You don't have the guts to take revenge, but you blame others for not dying. You've really learned something new."
Zhang Yan also shook his head and said, "Could it be that this person is not from the same sect as you?"
Guo Lie spat and said with disdain, "This person is just a rogue cultivator. If it wasn't for my fourth martial brother, I would have already kicked him out."
He seemed to feel that he had said too much. He coughed and said to Zhang Yan, "Brother Zhang, I'll go see my master now. Leave your matter to me. Don't worry."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Guo Lie then said to Wei Lihua, "Martial Niece Wei, bring my brother Zhang to choose a good cave to stay in."
Wei Lihua hurriedly said, "Martial Uncle, don't worry. Martial Niece will arrange everything."
Guo Lie nodded and flew away.
Wei Lihua turned around and smiled sweetly at Zhang Yan, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please come with me. Thank you for taking care of me on the boat. Now, let me show you my hospitality."
