After Zhang Yan circulated his technique for another half a year, the mighty force left behind by the Yao Han Ancestor was gradually dispelled.
The chaotic sky was already tilting towards him. In another year or so, it would completely dissolve. At that time, he would be able to see the sealed sky clearly.
At this time, Dandy Light and the others also felt their ancestor's Weili spreading out. They had originally relied on Zhang Yan's Fa Li to increase their strength. Now that they were enveloped by this aura, they were like fish in water. Even if the people from the Heng Xiao Sect returned, they would still be able to easily defeat this junior without their protective Arcane Treasures.
While waiting, the six of them suddenly felt an avatar enter the realm gate.
These days, the cultivators from the Heng Xiao Sect would send avatars here from time to time. Once they entered the realm, the main body would naturally know what was happening here. Even if they killed the avatar, there was no point. Thus, most of the time, unless the invaders were too unscrupulous, they would not pay attention to them.
However, this time, this avatar came straight for them. In an instant, it appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Dandy Light's finger moved slightly, about to use his sword to kill.
However, Yi Guang stretched out a hand to stop him. "Junior Brother, wait. It's just an avatar. It's definitely not here to fight. Let's see what he wants to do."
Wu Youtai's avatar arrived in front of the six and bowed. "Greetings, everyone."
Dandy Light and the others bowed but did not say anything. They waited for him to continue.
Wu Youtai did not take it to heart and said in a deep voice, "I have come here to discuss something with everyone. Before that, I would like to ask, is everyone coming to this domain to occupy this place, or is it for something else?"
Yi Guang smiled. "We originally had no intention of occupying this place. If your side was not so hostile, perhaps things would not have turned out this way."
Wu Youtai nodded and did not say anything. No matter what the cause was, the other side was strong. They could say whatever they wanted. He did not come here today to dwell on this matter. He slowly said, "In the previous two battles, we have already seen your side's strength. If the three of us withdraw now, will you not pursue this matter?"
Yi Guang said, "The three of you?"
Wu Youtai said, "I am from the same sect as Zhou Yise and Zhou Yinzheng, but not the others."
Xiuguang asked curiously, "Aren't you all from the same sect?"
Wu Youtai replied, "My Heng Xiao Sect can't be considered a sect. It's just that our bloodline originates from a single ancestor."
He explained the general situation of the Heng Xiao Sect, and Wan Guang's group of six understood. This was a loose alliance. If they worked together, it would be beneficial, so they naturally gathered together. Now that they realized there was no benefit, they wanted to separate.
Only then did Wan Guang understand the situation within the Heng Xiao Sect. However, they were happy to see the Heng Xiao Sect voluntarily split up. Moreover, they never intended to exterminate the Heng Xiao Sect. If the Heng Xiao Sect never came back, they wouldn't bother with them.
Wan Guang said solemnly, "I understand your intentions. From what fellow daoist said, Sect Master Heng Xiao is still planning to return. When he returns, I hope you won't be there."
Wu Youtai was slightly relieved after hearing his promise. He said, "Of course."
Although this matter could be overturned at any time without a contract, he believed that the Heng Xiao Sect's goal was only to find the Zhou Huanyuan Jade. As long as they found it, they wouldn't be interested in anything else.
In a certain realm, the Heng Xiao Sect Master sat on top of the clouds. He looked in the direction of the realm gate with an unusually solemn expression. A clear light flashed, and Daoist Bing Zhang came to his side. He said, "Sect Master, did you summon me for something?"
The Heng Xiao Sect Master said solemnly, "Now that my avatar has gone there, I can feel the changes in the world becoming more and more intense. If we don't act now, we won't be able to preserve the realm that the ancestor left for us."
Daoist Bing Zhang said, "It's just that the protective talisman is hard to break. Sect Master, do you have a way?"
The Heng Xiao Sect Master said calmly, "If He Zhangmen is willing to sacrifice all of his avatars, this matter can still be accomplished."
Daoist Bing Zhang immediately understood what he meant. Previously, He Tong only sacrificed one of his avatars, so he didn't succeed. However, if He Tong was willing to sacrifice both his avatars and his avatars, the power that could be unleashed would be much stronger than before.
He Tong might not be willing to do so, but it was useless. This matter wouldn't change because of his will. From the moment they handed over the Shen He Sect's treasure to He Tong, they were destined to walk down this path. If they followed their wishes now, their souls could still go back and reincarnate. If they disagreed, they would be going against the upper sect. Not only would their lives be in danger, their sect might even be destroyed.
The Heng Xiao Sect Master said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
Daoist Bing Zhang agreed, but he suddenly showed a hint of hesitation.
The Heng Xiao Sect Master said, "What do you want to say?"
Daoist Bing Zhang said, "I'm thinking, if things don't work out, is it possible to negotiate?"
The Heng Xiao Sect Master pondered for a while. Negotiating was just a means. If they could fight for an opportunity, they could just think of a way to take back the Heng Xiao Gloomy Heaven in the future. However, judging from the situation, he believed that when it truly became the territory of the six people, the sect behind them would definitely send more people here. He even suspected that the realm gate would no longer allow them to pass through, and they would never have the chance to reclaim this place.
He didn't continue this topic, but asked, "Is the manpower ready?"
Daoist Bing Zhang was also tactful and didn't mention the negotiation again. He replied, "The two from Brilliant Heroes Sect have already agreed to travel with me. Fellow Daoist Ban's matter is also going smoothly."
The Heng Xiao Sect Master nodded. With the oath, he wasn't afraid that these lower sect cultivators wouldn't agree. It all depended on how much effort they could put in. He then asked, "Is there any news from Fellow Zhou and Fellow Wu?"
Daoist Bing Zhang said in a low voice, "Apart from returning once earlier, saying that things went smoothly, there hasn't been any news. I've sent my avatars several times, but there was no result."
The Heng Xiao Sect Master's expression darkened. It had been half a year. No matter what, the matter should have been settled. But there was still no news. It seemed that Zhou Yinzheng and Wu Wu were no longer prepared to stand with the Heng Xiao Sect.
The Heng Xiao Sect Master thought for a while and said coldly, "Idiot."
At this time, if they didn't stand closely with them and hoped for the enemy's mercy, then what was it if not idiocy?
However, they looked at the problem differently from different perspectives. Now that he was the sect master, only the existence of the Heng Xiao Sect could protect his own interests, so he would do his best to protect it. As for Zhou Yinzheng and the others, since the broken ship that was the Heng Xiao Sect was about to sink, why should they cling on to it? Even if they stood with the sect, they might not survive to the end.
The Heng Xiao Sect Master suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Where is Zhou Yinse?"
Daoist Bing Zhang reacted and said, "He has been in seclusion. It seems like he hasn't appeared for a long time … I will go and take a look."
The Heng Xiao Sect Master waved his sleeve and said, "Don't worry about him. The three of them have always advanced and retreated together. They should have left by now."
Daoist Bing Zhang said, "I have been keeping an eye on the Realm Gate. There is no movement from there, which means that Zhou Yinse has not left this world. We can find a way to capture him."
The Heng Xiao Sect Master said in a low voice, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Taking back the Hun Tian is the most important thing right now."
He didn't want to make a big deal of this matter. If the cultivators of the lower sects knew that even their own sect was not optimistic about this battle, they would be even more disheartened.
After thinking for a while, he said, "You can tell the cultivators of the lower sects that I can promise that as long as we take back the Hun Tian, anyone who has severed their mortal body can enter the Hun Tian to cultivate. No matter what happens, they can hide in the Hun Tian, and I will ensure the continuation of their sects."
Daoist Bing Zhang left as he was told.
However, a few days later, the Heng Xiao Sect Master brought the people he had gathered and entered the Realm Gate on a Dharmic Boat, preparing to fight against Wan Guang and the others again.
Zhou Yinse sighed as he watched the Dharmic Boat enter the Realm Gate. After Zhou Yinzheng and Wu Youtai reached an agreement with Wan Guang and the others, they found a way to inform him of this news.
He was also not optimistic about this battle. His cultivation was not far from the Heng Xiao Sect Master's, so it was not difficult for him to sense the changes in the Hun Tian. He guessed that there was a cultivator of a higher level interfering behind the scenes. This was not something they could resist.
Although the Hun Tian was important, it was not worth risking one's life for something that was destined to fail. Thus, he did not hesitate and hid, leaving only one avatar to cultivate in seclusion.
Based on the previous two battles, regardless of victory or defeat, the outcome should be determined very quickly. All he had to do was wait here.
However, this wait lasted for half a month, and there was no movement at all.
He was also surprised and wanted to send a clone to investigate, but he was afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding. After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue waiting.
Another month later, the Realm Gate flashed with spiritual light and Zhou Yinzheng and Wu Youtai came out from it.
When Zhou Yinse saw this, he could vaguely guess the result of the battle. After greeting them, he asked, "How was it?"
Zhou Yinzheng said, "The Heng Xiao Sect still lost this battle. The Sect Master and Bing Zhang escaped, the rest were killed."
Zhou Yinse was surprised, "How could this be?"
According to his thoughts, the Heng Xiao Sect Master should have forced He Tong to sacrifice his avatar. If he failed, he would have immediately retreated. It was possible that one or two of them died, but most of them should be fine.
Wu Youtai shook his head, "This time, the six of them did not use their magic treasures. They only relied on their own strength to fight the Sect Master and the others. That is why the battle was so tragic."
Zhou Yinse sighed, "I see."
Since the six of them did not use their magic treasures, the Heng Xiao Sect Master would definitely seize this opportunity at all costs. Even if he knew it was a trap, he would still step into it. However, he did not expect to be defeated in the end. This proved that their choice was correct.
Zhou Yinzheng said, "Now that this realm is occupied by the six of them, we cannot enter without their permission. However, the realm you are in may not be safe."
Zhou Yinse wanted to ask why, but after seeing the two's gaze, his heart shook, "Could it be … the clue of the Yuan Jade is here?"
