Luanming Island was located at the north of Longyuan Lake. Rocks pierced through the air on the island, slicing through the clouds and splitting the wind. The place where the water fell was a dangerous shoal filled with oddly shaped reefs.
This place used to be a blessed land. However, thousands of years ago, there was a huge change that caused the spiritual vigor to be in a mess. Countless gravel hung in the sky, forming a spectacular spectacle. Every time there was a gust of wind and a huge wave, it would stir the gravel and let out a whistling sound that was like a tide. The waves were strange and the clouds were treacherous, and the momentum was terrifying.
Because the battle between Zhang Yan and Tu Xuan was not deliberately concealed, it did not take long for the news to spread throughout the sect. In a short period of time, it caused quite a stir.
Not only did many of the junior disciples of the sect rush to the island early to wait, but some of the disciples who were slaying demons outside the mountain also rushed back to the sect overnight after receiving the flying sword message from their fellow sect members in order to watch the battle. There were also many disciples who had just entered the sect in the past twenty years who came together just to catch a glimpse of Zhang Yan's glory.
Tu Xuan thought that if he could win this battle, then all of Zhang Yan's previous achievements would be blown away, and it would be a fatal blow to his reputation. Even if he could not win, at least he wanted to let the other races see how hard he worked, so he invited his relatives and friends to watch the battle.
Feng Zhen and Tu Xuan were fellow disciples of the same sect, so they naturally arrived early. He was already a Core Formation cultivator now, so he rode on a three-story Flying Swallow Tower in the sky. Leaning on the railing of the tower, he looked into the distance and saw that the sky was filled with talismans. They were so densely packed that it could be said that they covered the clouds and the sun. He couldn't help but sigh. "I didn't expect that this bet between Zhang Yan and Junior Brother Tu would actually attract so many people."
Beside him was a middle-aged Daoist with high cheekbones and a wide chin. He glanced sideways at them and said nonchalantly, "This Zhang Yan had almost flattened the Six Rivers and Four Islands in the past. He was quite famous among the junior disciples of the Master and Disciple Sect. Some disciples even flattered him on purpose. It is not surprising that there is such a scene. "
Feng Zhen sneered and said, "Impossibly stupid." He looked left and right a few times. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he pursed his lips, saying, "Look, Xie Zongyuan is here too."
The middle-aged Daoist turned around and saw a young cultivator with a crown on his head standing on a Dragon Tooth Ark. There were a hundred people following behind him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Rumor has it that Xie Silang and Zhang Yan are on good terms. It seems to be true."
Feng Zhen suddenly said, "Senior Brother Mo, what do you think are the chances of Junior Brother Tu winning this time?"
Senior Martial Brother Mo furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. It was impossible for Zhang Yan to not make any progress, but it was hard to say. Under normal circumstances, the two of them should have a fifty-fifty chance of winning, but on this Luan Ming Ji, Senior Brother Tu had a slight advantage. Zhang Yan's Sword Escape Technique is not easy to use. If he doesn't have any other methods, then Junior Brother Tu has a higher chance of winning. "
Feng Zhen nodded his head. He also agreed with this judgement. Although Tu Xuan's little golden core wasn't a true golden core, it could still release a weak evil aura, and Mystic Light Realm cultivators wouldn't be able to block it. As long as he used it well, his chances of winning were very high.
At this moment, a light drizzle started to fall from the sky. A cloud couch flew in the air and lowered a curtain. Inside was an enchanting and beautiful woman. She reclined on a soft cushion with a slightly lazy expression. She said to Huang Wanying who was standing at the side, "I heard that Junior Martial Sister had personally seen that Zhang Yan showing off his power twenty years ago?"
Huang Wanying allowed the cold drizzle to fall on her cheeks, but she didn't wipe it off. She pressed her hand on her magic sword and pondered, "This person is really impressive. However, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and the pile that rises out of the shore will be destroyed by the current. This person's future is uncertain, so I don't think he will win."
Luanming Island had never been so lively in the past thousand years. After Tu Xuan chatted with the people he knew for a while, he came to the island and waited. Everyone else also moved to the side and left the island alone.
Tu Xuan glanced around, feeling extremely pleased with himself. In the past, he had always been so down and out, but today, he was the center of attention. Just now, there were many disciples from the great clans who took the initiative to greet him. No matter what these people thought in their hearts, their mouths were full of praises, and he accepted them calmly. He felt that choosing to fight with Zhang Yan was truly the right choice. As long as he defeated Zhang Yan, he would be able to complete his mission.
Because everyone was afraid of missing this moment, they came here early. However, after the sun passed the middle of the sky, Zhang Yan still hadn't arrived. Thus, some people were dissatisfied and shouted, "Why isn't this Zhang Yan here yet? Could it be that he's afraid? "
As soon as these words came out, there were immediately people who came up to agree. Some people who hated Zhang Yan even tried to belittle him to the extreme. Many disciples of the master and disciple faction were angry when they heard these words. Not to be outdone, they retorted sarcastically, and suddenly there was a lot of noise.
This time, there were also many true disciples of the six rivers and four islands who came. They all looked on coldly from the side, not saying a word, watching from the sidelines.
They knew very well that no matter what they said now, they couldn't hurt Zhang Yan in the slightest. It would not be too late to judge after the outcome of the battle was decided.
The face of the Island Master of Jinyang River, Dai Xin, was expressionless. His eyelids were drooping, as if he was concentrating on adjusting his breathing.
Ever since he was defeated by Zhang Yan, he had gone to the Sword Immortal Luo Yuanhua to learn swordsmanship. For the past twenty years, he had been longing to wash away his shame. Today, when he heard that Zhang Yan was going to fight with Tu Xuan, he came on a cloud, wanting to see how far Zhang Yan's flying sword technique had advanced.
Suddenly, a ray of light burst out of his eyes. He stood up, turned his head, and said, "He's here!"
Everyone's spirit was lifted. They all looked up and saw a sword light flying over from the west. It was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed the sky and came close.
Dai Xin frowned and wondered, "Why is Zhang Yan's sword light not as good as before?"
Some disciples with good eyesight also felt strange. They didn't know that Zhang Yan was invincible in the sect. Later on, he fought against a hundred people alone in the Outer Endless Sea. The disciples of Qincang School also felt proud of him. But this sword light was like water, and it didn't have the sharp and fierce momentum of the past at all.
While everyone was surprised, the sword light suddenly dissipated, revealing a beautiful female cultivator. Her clothes fluttered like smoke, and a Clear Sword Pill flew around her body. She stood there, with snow-white skin and a jade-like face, she was incomparably beautiful.
Dai Xin was stunned, and said, "Who is this?"
A disciple beside him who knew said, "This is Zhang Yan's eldest disciple, Liu Yanyi."
Dai Xin unconsciously shrugged and tugged at his beard, saying, "Where did she get the Sword Pill?"
Even a disciple under Zhang Yan had a Sword Pill to control, and the sword light was extremely bright. It was obvious that she had a lot of potential. He thought to himself, "Is there going to be another Zhang Yan in the future?"
Liu Yanyi came in front of Tu Xuan and bowed. She said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Thanks for your long wait, my master will be here soon."
Tu Xuan glanced at her and waved his hand generously, saying, "I didn't say the time with Senior Brother Zhang, he can come whenever he wants. Anyway, I'll just wait for him here today."
He really wasn't in a hurry, and even hoped that Zhang Yan wouldn't come. Wouldn't that make his reputation even more famous?
But at this moment. Suddenly, there was a faint singing voice coming from the horizon.
"Hidden Sword Edge for twenty years. Suddenly there's a long song that startles gods and ghosts, the Great Dao is boundless, cutting off the wrong path, smiling at the vast ocean and listening to the sound of thunder! "
This song was majestic, and it sounded like the wind was sweeping away the clouds, with a feeling of great spirit surging. Everyone was excited when they heard it, and when they looked again, they saw a young Daoist in a black robe riding the wind with his hands behind his back. This person had a handsome face, but he was extremely tall, and his eyebrows reached his temples. His eyes were like the stars in the night sky, deep and unfathomable. When he came over, he was unafraid, and his sleeves fluttered, as if millions of people in front of him couldn't stop him. Although the disciples didn't see him raise his sword. They were all subconsciously taken away by his aura that was like a rainbow or a sword that shot straight into the clouds. No one made a sound.
Xie Zongyuan, who was sitting on the Dragon Tooth Ship, saw him, and was the first to stand up. He cupped his hands at him and shouted, "Senior Brother Zhang, we haven't seen each other for twenty years, how have you been?"
Zhang Yan looked over, and when he saw it was Xie Zongyuan, he laughed and returned the greeting, "So it's Senior Brother Xie. Forgive me for having an arranged battle, and I can't say much. We'll catch up after this battle."
Xie Zongyuan also laughed heartily and sat down.
A few of Du De's disciples didn't expect this Xie family's Fourth Brother to take the initiative to greet him, and they all snorted coldly, expressing their dissatisfaction. But Xie Zongyuan didn't care about them. He was an affectionate and righteous person, and he still remembered the favor of saving his life that day. Although he couldn't stand on Zhang Yan's side because of his family, he could still boost Zhang Yan's reputation on the scene.
The Yuxuan Xie family was ranked second among the twelve great families, and only the Ruiping Zheng family was higher than the Helin Du family, which was ranked third. These Du family's disciples couldn't do anything to him.
Zhang Yan flicked his sleeve and continued to walk towards the center of the island. However, he had only taken a few steps when another young Daoist stood up and bowed solemnly to him. "Senior Brother Zhang, I, Feng Ming, greet you!"
Zhang Yan couldn't help but stop and take a look. He said in surprise, "So it's Senior Brother Feng, long time no see." He also raised his hand to return the greeting.
Someone in the crowd said in surprise, "Senior Brother Feng is Elder Xun's disciple. Looking at this situation, he also has a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhang."
When they were in the Devil's Cave, Feng Ming thought that if it wasn't for Zhang Yan risking his life to bring up the rear, he wouldn't have been able to escape. He had always kept this in mind and was grateful to Zhang Yan from the bottom of his heart. He always wanted to find an opportunity to repay his kindness. Moreover, he was also a disciple of the Master and disciple lineage, so he naturally stood out to support Zhang Yan without any scruples.
After Zhang Yan bid farewell to him, he continued to walk forward. At this moment, a long laugh was heard. A Taoist with a round face and a big belly walked out. Beside him stood a young girl in colorful clothes. He said loudly, "Junior Brother Zhang, I've received orders from Senior Brother to come and watch the battle. Don't worry and fight. If someone is playing tricks, I'll definitely uphold justice for you."
Someone immediately recognized this person as Fan Changqing, who had a very high status among the third generation disciples. Then the Senior Brother he mentioned was naturally the third generation disciple, Qi Yuntian. They were shocked and couldn't help but cast sidelong glances at Zhang Yan. Some of the aristocratic family disciples who didn't know what was going on were also extremely shocked. They looked at Zhang Yan and re-evaluated his weight in the Master and disciple lineage.
However, Zhang Yan felt that Fan Changqing's words were strange. He and Tu Xuan were fighting under the watchful eyes of everyone. Who would dare to do such a despicable thing?
His gaze turned and fell on Qiu Hanyue, who was beside Fan Changqing. This girl smiled at him as if she was asking for praise. Seeing the corner of Fan Changqing's mouth twitch slightly, he immediately understood and felt it was funny. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll thank Senior Brother Fan. Please thank Senior Brother Qi on my behalf."
Fan Changqing waved his hands and laughed, "You and I are brothers, there's no need to be so polite. Junior Brother, you're treating me like an outsider."
Zhang Yan smiled and cupped his hands to bid farewell.
Fan Changqing let out a sigh of relief and looked at Qiu Hanyue. He smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple, are you satisfied? Your Uncle-Master Zhang is a smart person. If he didn't have the confidence, why would he agree to this battle so easily? You're worrying too much. "
Qiu Hanyue was the reincarnation of his daughter. She cultivated Dao and her aptitude was really good. He usually spoiled her and couldn't bear to discipline her strictly. However, he didn't want Qiu Hanyue to be so arrogant.
Qiu Hanyue pulled on Fan Changqing's sleeve and giggled. She said, "Disciple will know. Master treats Hanyue the best."
Fan Changqing looked at Liu Yanyi standing behind Zhang Yan in a well-behaved manner. She didn't dare to overstep her boundaries. He couldn't help but feel envious. He coughed and wanted to act like a strict master. However, Qiu Hanyue pulled on his sleeve and shook it, making it impossible for him to put on airs.
Zhang Yan walked forward again. At this moment, a colorful boat suddenly passed by. The bamboo curtain was lifted and a flirtatious girl came out. Her eyes were clear and her skin was like jade. She smiled at Zhang Yan and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, do you still remember me?"
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. He looked the girl up and down and nodded with a smile. "Junior Sister Qin, your cultivation is getting more and more profound."
Qin Nan looked at Zhang Yan carefully and her eyelashes twitched. She whispered, "I'm not as good as you, Senior Brother."
There were people who didn't know Qin Nan and couldn't help but ask, "Who is that?"
Someone revealed a look of disdain and said, "You don't know this Senior Sister? She's Immortal Peng's direct disciple, Qin Nan. She's Senior Sister Qin. "
Feng Zhen, who was watching from afar, sucked in a breath of cold air. On the way here, although the people who greeted Zhang Yan all had different backgrounds, none of the people behind them were simple characters. They all represented a great power.
He originally thought that Zhang Yan didn't have much of a foundation in the sect and was only relying on Sun Zhenren's appreciation and Zhou Chongju's care. He didn't expect this person to have so many connections in the sect. His foundation was far stronger than he imagined. When he thought of this, he didn't know why he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
After Qin Nan and Zhang Yan exchanged a few words, she waved at Liu Yanyi and said, "Yanyi, come to Uncle-Master's side."
Liu Yanyi glanced at Zhang Yan and the latter nodded at her. She came up and greeted, "Uncle-Master Qin."
Qin Nan pulled her over and said with a smile, "I've already said that you and I are sisters. There's no need for such formalities."
She and Liu Yanyi were close in age and usually got along well. Although they called each other uncle and niece in name, they were like good friends. The two girls stood side by side on the colorful boat, like orchids in spring and chrysanthemums in autumn. They each had their own celestial beauty and attracted the attention of many people.
After Zhang Yan said goodbye to Qin Nan, he Just Now stood in front of Tu Xuan and said, "Senior Brother Tu, I've waited for a long time!"
Tu Xuan's face darkened. It was only a few miles, but Zhang Yan rode on a cloud and walked for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. He was already in a bad mood and was rather impatient. He casually returned the greeting and said without any trace of politeness, "Zhang Yan, I know your flying sword is amazing. I'll take advantage of you and make the first move!"
Without waiting for Zhang Yan's reply, he let out a loud shout. His body trembled, and a fiery cloud of light shot out from the top of his head … To be continued … RQ!
