Beyond the Mountains
Taihao School, Purple Bamboo Mountain Training Hall.
In Autumn Sense Pavilion, a kind-looking Taoist nun was playing chess with a scholarly Taoist with a high bun.
After a while, the Taoist nun's expression changed. She flipped her finger and was about to make a move. Just as the piece was about to land, the scholarly Taoist laughed and waved his horsetail whisk, messing up the game. "Junior Sister Qingyao is brilliant. Let's consider this a draw."
The Taoist nun was not annoyed, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Senior Brother always messes up the game. How can there be a winner?"
The scholarly Taoist didn't care, but there was a deeper meaning in his words. "Those who play chess will always be trapped in the game. If Junior Sister can jump out of the game and open your arms, the world will be bright."
The Taoist nun frowned. "Senior Brother still can't forget the Zoysia Ancestor's body?"
The scholarly Taoist straightened his back and admitted frankly, "Of course."
The Taoist nun sighed. "The ancestor's rule states that Taihao School's disciples are not allowed to take the Zoysia Ancestor. Senior Brother, have you forgotten?"
The scholarly Taoist's eyes flickered. "But if someone else takes it and I take it, then it won't be against the school's rules."
The Taoist nun shook her head and said in a low voice, "Then Senior Brother deliberately let the demon in. He always has an ulterior motive."
The scholarly Taoist laughed. "Junior Sister, you must be joking. I didn't invite him here. He walked into the trap. What does that have to do with me?"
The Taoist nun sighed. "The demon's Heavenly Tribulation is coming. If he doesn't come to take the body, he most likely won't be able to avoid it. How can Senior Brother not know?"
The scholarly Taoist chuckled. "I have no other choice. Now that the ten sects all have outstanding disciples, Taihao School can't have any descendants. We can only do our best to nurture them. Only then can we show our edge in the sword competition of the sixteen sects. My disciple is a rare genius. How can I hold him back? I have to give him the best medicine. "
The Taoist nun nodded slowly and said, "Senior Brother, you've put in a lot of effort for this disciple."
The elegant Daoist stood up and bowed to the Daoist nun. "However, I'm afraid that the old demon knows my intentions. After he leaves the mountain, his other avatars will come to support him. I don't have the confidence to defeat his two Yuanying avatars by yourself. Please help me, Junior Martial Sister."
The Daoist nun hurriedly stood up and supported the scholarly Daoist, saying, "Senior Brother, how can you do this?"
However, even after persuading him for a long time, the Daoist still refused to get up. The Daoist nun knew that this Senior Martial Brother of hers had always been thick-skinned and ruthless, so she couldn't do anything to him. She could only sigh helplessly and say, "Forget it, forget it. He's a demon anyway, so it's fine to get rid of him. However, Junior Martial Sister has one condition."
When the elegant Taoist heard her reply, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Shimei, please speak."
The Daoist nun said seriously, "If the Zoysia Ancestor's body is in someone else's possession, I won't interfere."
The elegant Taoist thought to himself, 'Although this demon entered the mountain as a Mystic Light avatar, he's still quite powerful. Besides, no one knows where the Zoysia Ancestor's body is buried except for him. However, I have my own preparations. Whoever has the Zoysia Ancestor's body will be able to identify it. If it's really not this old demon, then I don't need Junior Martial Sister's help.'
When he thought of this, he straightened his body and said, "Fine. If it's in someone else's hands, Junior Martial Sister can just sit back and do nothing."
The Daoist nun glanced at him and shook her head. She knew that if the Zoysia Ancestor's body was really in someone else's hands, this thick-skinned and black-hearted Senior Martial Brother of hers would also find an excuse to forcefully take it from him. Although she disliked this kind of behavior, she had no intention of stopping him.
At this time, in Mount Green Inch, after the Yan and Shi clans had come to an agreement, they parted ways. The rogue cultivators around them also dispersed.
The Xu brothers followed the crowd out of the valley and left on a cloud. Halfway there, Xu Yanfu suddenly said, "Brother, we can't let the Yan clansman cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Li. We need to warn him so he can be prepared."
Xu Yankuang nodded in agreement. "Second brother is right. That Fellow Daoist Li saved our lives. We must repay this kindness. Even if we offend the Yan clan, we can't go against our principles."
Xu Yanfu smiled and said, "Big brother, if the Yan clansmen and Fellow Daoist Li fight, who do you think will win?"
Xu Yankuang thought about it and said, "That green-clothed man can come and go without anyone stopping him, but Fellow Daoist Li can fight evenly with him. Among the Yan clansmen, only Aunty Yan has some cultivation, the rest are just there to make up the numbers. How can they win?"
Xu Yanfu said in a relaxed manner, "That's right. Now that Yan Yuyou is dead, the remaining Yan clansmen are all anxious. If they go back, they will die eventually. They might want to fight Fellow Daoist Li with their lives. If we send him a favor, it won't cost us anything."
Xu Yankuang suddenly frowned and said, "But we don't know where Fellow Daoist Li lives, how can we find him?"
Xu Yanfu said, "I was thinking about this just now. Why don't we go to the place where Fellow Daoist Li wanted to meet last time? If we really can't find him, we'll decide what to do next."
Xu Yankuang nodded and said, "Alright, let's go there first."
The two of them felt that this matter shouldn't be delayed, but they were very cautious. They first circled around and made sure that no one was following them before heading to Nine Peaks.
Zhang Yan's cave was located at the peak of the mountain, so it was very easy to find. Not long after, they arrived. Xu Yankuang saw that the cave's door was sealed with a large stone, but there wasn't much dust or filth on the stone.
It was obvious that someone had moved it not long ago. He was delighted and said loudly, "Is Fellow Daoist Li here? I am Xu Yankuang and my younger brother Yanfu. I have something important to tell you. "
Zhang Yan was training his True Light in the cave. When he heard these two people's names, he thought for a moment and waved his hand to open the stone that sealed the door. He said, "Please come in and have a chat."
The Xu brothers entered the cave. After greeting Zhang Yan, they didn't delay and told him their purpose of coming.
Zhang Yan didn't expect that the Yan clansmen would target him. Although he didn't take it to heart, the Xu brothers had good intentions, so he smiled and said, "I have to thank the two of you for coming to tell me."
Xu Yankuang said, "No problem."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and took out two medicinal mushrooms from his sleeve. With a point of his finger, the two mushrooms floated into the hands of the two people and said, "This is what I obtained during this trip. Please take it."
Xu Yanfu's eyes revealed joy. This medicinal mushroom was obviously the best of the best. If he obtained it, even if he didn't use it to condense his own core, he could still exchange it for a few good treasures. Thus, he looked at his brother.
However, Xu Yankuang shook his head and refused. "We brothers came here to repay a favor. How can we accept Fellow Daoist's gift?"
Zhang Yan could tell that these words came from his heart. He smiled lightly and said, "That was a small matter. It's not worth mentioning. Since you risked your life to come and tell me, how can I be stingy with these things?"
Xu Yanfu also desperately looked over and said, "Brother, Fellow Daoist Li has good intentions. Why don't we accept it?"
Xu Yankuang hesitated for a moment. In the end, he clenched his teeth and said, "Fine. Then we brothers will accept it. If Fellow Daoist is free in the future, please come to Fire Wave Mountain's Xu Jia Ling. We will definitely treat you well."
Seeing that the two of them accepted the medicinal mushrooms, Zhang Yan asked them a few more questions. They were all about the movements of the many cultivators in Mount Qing Cun. The Xu brothers naturally told him everything they knew.
Not long after, the Xu brothers saw that Zhang Yan seemed to have the intention to send them away, so they stood up and bade farewell.
After the two of them left, Zhang Yan sat silently for a moment. Then, he smiled coldly and stepped out of the cave. He leaped into the clouds and flew towards the north.
His eyes flickered with a hint of killing intent. Even though the Yan disciples were only small fries, since they wanted to deal with him, how could they just sit here and wait for others to kill them? Naturally, he would kill them first!
The Yan disciples were all gathered on Pear Blossom Peak. After Aunt Yan decided to make a move on Zhang Yan, she sent her servants everywhere to persuade others to join her, while secretly waiting for the right time.
She believed that since the green-clothed man and Zhang Yan had yet to determine a winner, there would be a battle sooner or later. That would be the best opportunity to attack Zhang Yan. If she could really find the Zoysia Ancestor on him, then she would be able to explain herself when she returned to the clan.
At this time, a golden light fell from the sky and into the cave. A servant girl caught it and carefully handed it to her.
Aunt Yan opened it and couldn't help but reveal a happy expression. She thought to herself, "After giving out two medicinal mushrooms, the Xiang clan finally agreed. If we add on the clans that agreed earlier, I will have nearly a hundred people to help me. At that time, I won't have to fear that Li Yuanba. If we can work together, we will definitely be able to kill him in one fell swoop."
Just as she was feeling happy, she heard a thunderous roar in the sky, "Yan disciples, come out and accept your death!"
Aunt Yan was startled and quickly rushed out of the cave. When she looked up, her body trembled and she cried out involuntarily, "Li Yuanba!"
The Yan disciples also recognized him. They didn't expect him to come looking for them. Immediately, they panicked and took out their flying swords. For a moment, light and shadow became chaotic.
Aunt Yan had seen the battle between Zhang Yan and the green-clothed man. She knew that the people in front of her were definitely not this person's opponent. Her eyes turned, but she didn't say a word and turned around to escape.
Zhang Yan's gaze swept down and saw that among the dozens of people, there was no one with a higher cultivation than him. He didn't move and only let out a cold shout. In an instant, a curtain of water rose behind him and a water-colored light swept across the valley. With a flash, everyone present and their weapons disappeared.
Aunt Yan had just started to fly away when she suddenly felt a pulling force on her body. Before she could struggle, she felt the world spin around her and the scenery in front of her changed. She looked up and couldn't help but be shocked. She saw white waves surging in the sky and rivers surging. She didn't know how many streams of water were like jade dragons and silver ribbons. Above, below, left and right, there was a vast expanse of mist. It was as if she had fallen into the boundless Milky Way.
Zhang Yan did not retract his mysterious technique. Instead, he released the Mysterious Yellow Big Hand above his head. Then, he shook his True Light, and a man fell out of the water curtain. Zhang Yan urged his technique, and the Mysterious Yellow Big Hand fell down in an incomparably barbaric manner, and slapped the man to death.
Next, he repeated the same method and slapped the person to death as soon as he pulled them out.
Aunt Yan's cultivation was the highest, but she was the last to be released. However, she was a lot stronger than the others. When she came out, her mind was still clear. When she saw the Mysterious Yellow Hand coming down, she was shocked and desperately released her Xuan light to block it. However, under the Mysterious Yellow Hand, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Immediately, the Xuan light shattered and blood wildly sprayed out. The Mysterious Yellow Hand continued to fall without pause. With a bang, smoke and dust flew everywhere. She was also crushed into a pile of minced meat.
In just a moment, Zhang Yan had killed all the disciples of the Yan Clan in this valley. He lowered his aura and put away the Heaven and Earth Great Hand and Water Element True Light. Then, he soared into the sky and circled around Pear Blossom Peak. After making sure that no one was left out, he rode a gust of wind and went back the way he came.
