After Zhang Yan took the token, Junior Sister Guan Rong would send him off the Spirit Peak.
When they reached the mountain gate, they saw a streak of light flying out from a temple, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the two!
It was Gongsun Mian who saw Zhang Yan leaving the Spirit Peak, and thus hurried over!
Seeing that Zhang Yan was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and went forward to greet him, "Brother Li, you've finally come out!"
After Zhang Yan entered the mountain, there was no news of him for seven to eight days. Gongsun Mian did not know the inside story, and even when he asked Junior Sister Guan Rong, she did not know anything. These few days, he was very uneasy. If Zhang Yan's background was really found to be problematic, not only would he not be able to escape, if anything happened to the Yue siblings, would the Yue clan let him off?
Fortunately, Zhang Yan had come out safe and sound, and he did not have to live in fear anymore!
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and smiled, "A few days ago, I had a congenial conversation with the seniors in the temple, so I stayed for a few more days. I've made Brother Gongsun wait for a long time!"
Gongsun Mian waved his hands, and said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's good that Brother is fine, oh right …"
He took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhang Yan. With a strange expression, he said, "This is the invitation that Yue Hong Zhang wrote for Brother, saying that he is inviting Brother to attend a meeting at the Nine Dragons Lake, but he sent it to me. I don't know what he's up to, so I don't dare to act on my own, so I can only hand it over to Brother Li to handle!"
After Yue Hong Zhang made up his mind to befriend Zhang Yan, he initially waited patiently for a day or two, but after that, he lost interest, and ordered his maidservant to deliver a letter. Ignoring Han Guzi's instructions, he swaggered away!
After receiving the letter, Zhang Yan did not even look at it. He threw it into his sleeve and left the mountain gate with Gongsun Mian.
The two of them landed in front of the bamboo forest. Zhang Yan took out the pouch and poured it down. The unconscious Yue siblings rolled out and said, "Since the talisman is in my hands, I won't make things difficult for Fellow Daoist Gongsun's two juniors. Everything that happened before will be written off."
Gongsun Mian smiled bitterly and helped the two siblings up. Although the two siblings were cultivators, their cultivation was low and they were unconscious in the sack. They didn't know how to regulate their breath and Qi. They didn't eat or drink for seven to eight days, so they probably didn't feel good.
At this moment, Zhang Yan's gaze flashed, and he seemed to have sensed something and said, "Daoist Brother Gongsun, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. I'll be staying at Baofeng Monastery before the Treasure Meet, and that Blazing Dragon Tongue Grass will probably need another hundred days to mature. At that time, Daoist Brother can come and collect it."
Gongsun Mian hurriedly said, "Alright, Senior Brother, if you have something to attend to, you can go. I'll come to visit Daoist Brother another day."
The two of them bowed to each other and Gongsun Mian held the Yue sisters under his arms. He stepped on a ball of mysterious light and flew southwest.
After he left, Zhang Yan waved his hand and a talisman flew toward him. He raised his wrist and caught it in his hand.
These few days, he was in the Purple Bamboo Mountain's dojo. There was a restriction outside the monastery, so the talisman couldn't enter. However, his talisman was used by the Clear Feather Sect, so it was different from a normal Talisman. If it couldn't find a messenger, it would take the initiative to attach itself to the birds and beasts nearby until its spiritual Qi was exhausted.
Zhang Yan opened the talisman and saw that it was a letter from Zhang Pan. A night had passed since the letter was sent.
After reading the letter, he frowned and a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. He stood up and turned into a rainbow as he flew toward Baofeng Monastery.
The Chen couple had been protected by Zhang Pan for more than a month, so their days were peaceful. However, in the middle of the night last night, they suddenly heard a commotion in the hall. It sounded like someone was fighting and shouting.
However, the noise quickly dissipated. When they helped each other out, they saw Zhang Pan standing in the middle of the hall with a corpse at his feet. The corpse's face could not be identified. Chen Jishi was so scared that his face turned pale. He retreated and almost fell to the ground.
Chen Fujin was bold. He pushed away the maid beside him and walked to Zhang Pan. He bowed and said, "Little Daoist, what happened?"
Zhang Pan said in a low, muffled voice, "This man and a Daoist came here in the middle of the night and sneaked into your room. They must be up to no good. I went up to ask them but they wanted to attack me. I killed them with one punch."
Chen Fujin asked, "What about that Daoist?"
Zhang Pan said in a muffled voice, "That Daoist's feet seemed to be smeared with oil. He was very slippery. He has already escaped."
Chen Fujin asked again, "Did he say anything before he left?"
Zhang Pan thought for a moment and said, "No."
Chen Jishi could be said to have gained a lot of experience over the past few days. After the initial panic, he slowly regained his composure. He stepped forward to hold Chen Fujin's hand and comforted her, "Wife, it might be a thief who came to steal our property …"
Chen Fu Jin shook his head and said, "If this servant's guess is correct, this must be Ma Daojin's accomplice, and they are here to avenge him …" In fact, she vaguely knew in her heart that the other party was here for the Soul Gathering Bell, but if this matter were to be mentioned, her cowardly husband would definitely force her to give it away. She also planned to leave it for her unborn child, so she did not mention this matter at all.
She frowned and thought for a moment. She turned to Zhang Pan and said, "Little Daoist, do you have the ability to send a message to Daoist Zhang?"
Zhang Pan said loudly, "Master has already told me that if there is any abnormality, regardless of whether it is big or small, I must inform him immediately. I have already sent a letter to Master."
Hearing this, Madam Chen breathed a sigh of relief. She held her abdomen and took two steps forward. Suddenly, she said, "That Daoist must have come this time because he doesn't know what you're capable of. That's why he wasn't prepared. If he brings his accomplices here again, I'm afraid it won't be so simple. It looks like we can't stay here anymore.
Chen Jishi opened her mouth and asked blankly, "Then where to?"
Chen Fujin said decisively, "To Baofeng Monastery. We will leave now."
Zhang Pan did not mind and said, "Both of you leave first. I will take care of the corpse here."
His method was nothing more than to swallow the corpse. However, he did not want the Chen couple to see it in case they were scared out of their wits.
"Alright!"
Chen Fujin made a prompt decision. Although she did not know if the other party would return, the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it would be. For the sake of the child in her belly, she could not take the risk. She immediately dragged Chen Jishi back to the room to tidy up.
After she had tidied up a few changes of clothes and a few pieces of jewelry, she looked back and saw that Chen Jishi was still carefully stroking the things in the box. She could not help but be angry. She reached out and threw the things aside. She complained, "Husband, you don't have to bring these stupid things. You can take them when you come back!"
Chen Jishi hurriedly picked up the things and scolded, "Wife, what you said is wrong. How can these things be useless and stupid? You must know that these are the words of a sage. How can you give them up so easily? "
Chen Fujin was secretly annoyed and said, "The more you read, the more you will understand. Why is he becoming more and more pedantic? When my child is born, I must send him to Taoist Zhang to learn the Dao. I cannot be like him! "
She also knew that she could not persuade him. She quickly called for her maidservant, Qiao 'er, and ordered her to go to the entrance of the village to borrow a mule cart to transport goods for the Taoist temple. She also told her that they were fleeing and that the price was more than ten thousand, so she could not be calculative.
The three of them dawdled for about two hours before they finished tidying up. They left the village and went to Baofeng Temple.
However, after traveling for a few miles, the Heavens were not in their favor. It began to drizzle, and not long after, the road became muddy. Because of this, their progress became slower.
At the same time, the Taoist who was beaten away by Zhang Pan ran all the way to an earth temple. Only then did he stop, gasping for breath.
He patted his numb legs and quickly took out a few broken sticks of incense. He picked out a few long sticks and placed them on the altar. He then lit them and took out a talisman paper to burn. Then, he took two steps back and said respectfully, "Your disciple invites Grand Uncle-Master to come."
A short while later, a ray of light flashed and landed in front of him. It was a middle-aged Taoist. He was short and wore a sun scarf on his head. His face was mostly covered by a round brim. Only his long beard fluttered in front of his chest. He wore a green Taoist robe, white socks, and a pair of shoes. He held an inconspicuous tarpaulin umbrella in his hand.
The Taoist hurriedly bowed and said in shame, "Grand Uncle-Master, I have failed you."
The middle-aged Taoist said carelessly, "Min Chong, you said you would bring me good news in the next few days. But now I have rejoiced for nothing."
Min Chong hurriedly knelt down and said with a sad face, "Grand Uncle-Master, it is not that I did not try my best. The Chen couple had a powerful Taoist child protecting them. Even Young Master Feng's Steward Ji was killed by him."
When Min Chong and Steward Ji heard of Ma Daojin's death, although they knew the Chen couple were on the other side of the river, they did not dare to make a move because they had some relationship with Baofeng Temple. But they did not leave and kept looking for an opportunity.
Just a few days ago, their spies in Baofeng Temple heard that Monastery Head Lu had gone on a journey. They were overjoyed.
They were only afraid of Lu Yaoying. Since he was not here, what else was there to worry about?
That was why the two of them went to find the Chen couple last night, wanting to force them to reveal the whereabouts of the Soul Gathering Bell.
They had originally thought that they had a ninety percent chance of success, but they never expected that even though the Chen couple were mortals, Zhang Pan was a demon in human form. Steward Ji was beaten to death on the spot. If not for Min Chong's Thousand Miles Godly Strider Talisman and his quick feet, he might not have been able to return.
The middle-aged Daoist suddenly asked, "You said that Lu Yaoying went on a journey? Is this true? "
Min Chong hurriedly said, "There is no mistake. I heard that Daoren has been gone for seven or eight days."
The middle-aged Daoist nodded.
Although the Soul Gathering Bell in the Chen couple's hands was not a powerful artifact, it was a part of a certain artifact in his sect. He had to get it back.
Originally, he ordered Ma Daojin to retrieve it, but he was killed. He was worried that Daoren was protecting the couple. He also knew that the Daoist was a Mystic Light Realm cultivator like him, so he did not make a move. Now that Lu Daoren was gone, he had no more worries. What could a Daoist child do?
So he said, "Fine, since I'm already here today, I'll go with you and retrieve the Spirit Gathering Bell."
Min Chong flattered, "If Martial Granduncle is here, it will be a piece of cake."
The middle-aged Daoist did not comment. He picked Min Chong up and a ray of light appeared under his feet. He walked towards the Chen couple's previous residence.
To be continued.
