Demon King Xuan Tong
Senior Martial Brother Feng tried his best to escape, but the more he ran, the more uneasy he felt.
The ray of light behind him was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it had closed the distance between them. It would not be long before it caught up with him.
The mountain ahead seemed to be a short distance away, yet it felt far beyond reach. At this critical moment, he didn't have the time to hesitate, so he gritted his teeth and withdrew a white feather from his sleeve before fiercely blowing a mouthful of spirit energy onto it.
After being nourished by the spiritual energy, the white feather seemed to have gained sentience. It trembled fiercely and struggled free from his hand. In a split second, it turned into a mass of smoke and enveloped him. Then, it turned into a streak of white light and flew away.
With this help, his speed was more than twice as fast as before. In just a few breaths, he would cross the mountain.
Zhang Yan saw Senior Martial Brother Feng desperately fleeing in one direction, and he could guess that there must be something behind that mountain. He sneered, and the Profound Qi around his body surged. The escape light under his body suddenly burst out with a deafening sound, breaking through the atmosphere. In the sky, a flickering stream of light that was as fast as lightning chased after him.
Just as he was about to catch up to the other party, a wisp of white smoke rose from the jade peak below, separating the two of them.
Zhang Yan felt a gentle push on his body, and a gentle voice said in his ear, "Fellow Daoist, please have mercy."
The mana in this smoke was strong, but it was not hot, and there was not a trace of hostility.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, and he calmly turned around. When he stopped, he saw a beautiful Daoist nun in black with white hair standing on top of the white smoke. She wore a high crown and had a horsetail whisk in her hand. She looked at him with a slight smile and said, "Forgive me for being rude, but are you Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
Zhang Yan was surprised. He stood on the cloud and returned the greeting, "Yes, I am. May I know your name?"
The nun placed the horsetail whisk on her arm and bowed, "I am Wang Yingfang. You must have heard of me from my eldest senior brother."
Hearing this name, Zhang Yan immediately knew who she was. This nun was Tao Zhenren's third disciple. She was originally a demon cultivator from the East Sea, but Tao Zhenren saw that she was strong, so he took her in as a disciple.
It was said that Daoist Master Tao had only wanted her to be an in-name disciple. The reason she had been able to successfully enter the sect was all because of Guo Lie's help. Thus, in the Clear Feather Sect, this Daoist nun was the closest to Guo Lie, so it was not strange that she knew his name.
Zhang Yan saw that this Taoist nun's eyebrows were green, her skin was like ice and her bones were like jade, her entire body was filled with Qi of Dao, but unexpectedly he could not detect any demonic aura. He knew that this person must have received the orthodox teachings of the Xuanmen Sect and was not an ordinary demonic cultivator. He smiled and said, "So it's Taoist Wang. Fellow Taoist Guo has often mentioned you. Seeing you today, you really have the beauty of an immortal."
Wang Yingfang hurriedly said, "You flatter me. Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."
Senior Brother Feng had gotten Wang Yingfang's help and calmed down. He thought that he had escaped with his life, but now that he heard that the two of them were friends, he became nervous again.
Wang Yingfang glanced at him, shook her head, and said with slight disappointment, "This Martial Nephew of mine, Feng Yao, usually loves to stir up trouble everywhere, and I'm well aware of his temper. May I know how he has offended Fellow this time?"
Zhang Yan smiled and told her the whole story.
Wang Yingfang frowned slightly. In all fairness, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Yan's action. Not to mention on Xuanling Island, even if it was anywhere else, if you dared to steal someone else's treasure, you deserved it and could not blame others.
Feng Yao saw that she was unhappy and cursed in his heart. He hurriedly shouted, "Martial Uncle Wang, please listen to me. Lady Jade was just not familiar with the island's paths, so she invited me to go with her. She also wanted to steal this fellow's treasure on the spur of the moment. How would I know that she would do this? This matter is just a disaster for the fish in the moat. How unjust! "
Wang Yingfang did not pay attention to him. She pondered for a while and said to Zhang Yan, "To be honest, I am familiar with this Martial Nephew Feng's master. That life-saving feather was given to him by me. Now that he is in front of me, I can't leave him in the lurch. I hope fellow Daoist can give I some face and let him go."
Zhang Yan smiled gently and said, "Since Daoist Wang has spoken, I should agree. However, if I let him go, I'm afraid that he will bring people to trouble me. Although I am not afraid, I don't want to waste too much effort. I might as well kill him now."
Feng Yao heard the murderous intent in his words and could not help but tremble with fear. He was afraid that Wang Yingfang would agree.
Wang Yingfang hurriedly bowed and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't worry. You are also an important guest of my Mystic Spirit Island. I will not intentionally be biased. There is no enmity between your two clans. This matter was only caused by a misunderstanding. I will temporarily let Martial Nephew Feng stay at my place for a few days and ask his master to come and apologize to fellow Daoist. I am willing to be a mediator and try my best to resolve this matter. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
This Wang Yingfang was a Core Formation cultivator, but she did not use her cultivation to bully others. Instead, she calmly discussed with Zhang Yan. Because of Guo Lie, Zhang Yan could not be too aggressive. He smiled and nodded, saying, "This method is fine. I will listen to fellow Daoist's suggestion."
When Feng Yao heard this, he secretly let out a long sigh of relief. He was glad that he had escaped a disaster.
However, when he relaxed, he felt sorry for the Flying Feather that he had used. Wang Yingfang had only refined twenty-four of these feathers and distributed them to her disciples and good friends. It was only because his master was on good terms with Wang Yingfang that he managed to get one. Feng Yao did not expect that he would use it before he could even warm his hands.
As soon as the two of them came to an agreement, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed.
Wang Yingfang said with a smile, "May I know where Fellow Daoist Zhang is staying at now?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "My cave is right across from where the Monster Kings are staying."
Wang Yingfang only needed to think carefully to know where Zhang Yan was talking about. She frowned and said, "The spiritual energy in that cave is thin, how can people live there?"
She shook her head again and said, "Eldest Senior Brother has always been careless. This time, I have neglected Fellow Daoist. My Swan Goose Temple is considered to be rich in spiritual energy. If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, why don't you stay at my place for a few days?"
When Zhang Yan heard this, his heart moved slightly. This Wang Yingfang clearly knew that he had beaten Lady Jade to the point of death, but she still wanted him to stay. It was obvious that she wanted to stand up for him and take responsibility for this matter.
However, he was a guest on Xuanling Island and was disturbed. Wang Yingfang's action was reasonable, so he smiled and said, "Then I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist."
At this moment, in a luxurious cave residence on Xuanling Island, Lady Jade was lying on the bed and moaning weakly. She looked like she was on her last breath.
Beside her sat a scholar in a white robe. This person's eyebrows reached his temples, his nose bridge pierced through his forehead, and his appearance was rather heroic. He was one of the 18 Monster Kings of the East Sea, Demon King Xuan Tong, Tong Ming.
He took out a red elixir and fed it to Lady Jade. Then, he stood up and asked a tall woman with exquisite features, "You said that person's name is Zhang Yan, and he used the Sword Escape Technique?"
This woman was his younger sister, Tong Ying. She immediately replied, "Yes, this is what I asked someone to find out. There is no mistake."
Demon King Xuan Tong looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
After Lady Jade took the elixir, she slowly woke up. When she saw Demon King Xuan Tong, she could not help but cry.
When Tong Ying saw that Demon King Xuan Tong did not speak for a long time, she could not help but say, "Big Brother, she is awake."
Demon King Xuan Tong came back to his senses and walked to Lady Jade's bed. He looked down but did not speak.
Lady Jade's jade face was full of sorrow, and she said with hatred, "I was bullied for no reason. Master, please help me."
Demon King Xuan Tong stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek. There seemed to be infinite gentleness between his fingers. He sighed, "Huan, I have already warned you not to cause trouble when you are free. Why did you not listen?"
Two lines of tears fell from Lady Jade's eyes. She cried, "I regret not listening to Master. But this person is really despicable. He not only flirted with me, but also said a lot of things to slander Master. I was angry and could not help but quarrel with him. I did not expect him to be so ruthless."
Demon King Xuan Tong shook his head, "I know your temper. Now that things have come to this, why do you have to lie to me?"
Lady Jade was a little flustered and she said in fear, "Master, everything I said is true."
Demon King Xuan Tong smiled strangely. His finger touched her throat, and then he gently slit it. To Tong Ying's disbelief, he took off Lady Jade's head. He rolled up his sleeves and kept her Primordial Spirit in his sleeves. Then, as if he had done something unimportant, he handed the head to Tong Ying and said, "Second Sister, send Huan's head to Fellow Daoist Zhang as an apology."
Tong Ying stared at the head in a daze and suddenly shouted, "Big Brother, how can you do this?"
Demon King Xuan Tong looked at her and said, "Why not?"
Tong Ying pointed at Lady Jade's corpse and said agitatedly, "This person bullied your concubine, but you killed her and sent her to him as an apology. What kind of logic is this? If the other Demon Kings talk about this, they will definitely say that you are a coward. Where will you hide your face in the future? "
Demon King Xuan Tong heard this, but he was calm and did not get angry at all. He smiled and said, "What do you know?"
Tong Ying said angrily, "I don't know. I just want to ask, where did Big Brother's temper and prestige go?"
Demon King Xuan Tong glanced at her and said, "Do you know the background of this Zhang Yan?"
Tong Ying snorted and said, "Even if this person's background is extraordinary, Big Brother is also a Demon King. What is there to be afraid of?"
Demon King Xuan Tong shook his head and said with a smile, "When you reach my level, you will know the difficulty of cultivation. You don't even have time to polish your skills, how can you have the time to waste on fighting? In these hundreds of years, when have I ever fought with anyone because of personal feelings? "
Tong Ying felt bitter. Not only was she weak, but she was also unreasonable. She simply turned her head to the side and ignored him.
Demon King Xuan Tong sighed and said, "Now that the catastrophe of Donghua Continent is coming, who dares to say that they can avoid it? I've only occasionally heard about Zhang Yan's background. He's a true disciple of the Yincang Sect, but that's not all. He's so young, yet he has a paradise in his hands. Who knows what will happen in the future. Today, he humiliated my concubine, but not only did I not blame him, I even killed her and came to apologize. He will definitely be grateful. If I'm in trouble in the future, I can ask him for help. In this king's opinion, this deal is very worth it. "
Tong Ying's beautiful eyes widened and she could not help but say, "Just as you said, Big Brother, but how will outsiders see us?"
Tong Ming snorted and said, "Why do we come to seek Dao? Why should we care about what others think? Don't be blinded by the chaos of the mortal world. You need to know that thousands of years will pass in the blink of an eye. If I cannot live forever, everything will be fabricated. If it can help me achieve Dao, it will be worth it even if I have to give up my family business. "
Although Tong Ying felt that her Big Brother's words were reasonable, there was a sense of coldness and ruthlessness in his words. She could not help but think, Big Brother is harsh and merciless. For the sake of Dao, he is willing to sacrifice the person next to him. If one day he can exchange me for the opportunity to achieve Dao, will he abandon me without hesitation? Thinking of this, she could not help but shiver.
