Zhang Yan's Sword Escape Technique was extremely fast, so it didn't take long for him to reach the Vast Sea. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the Guardian Palace.
From afar, a Daoist nun dressed in red came to welcome them. Zhang Yan had been here before, and she had seen him once, so she naturally wouldn't forget him. She came up and cupped her hands, saying very politely, "So it's Senior Brother Zhang of Zhao You Heavenly Lake. Is Senior Brother here to pay a visit to Daoist Master? Unfortunately, Daoist Master left the palace early in the morning. Since you're here, why don't you take a seat in the palace? "
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and smiled, "Junior Sister, I'm not here to visit Daoist Master, but to see Junior Sister Qinnan."
The Daoist nun said, "So Senior Brother wants to see Senior Sister Qinnan. Please come in and have a seat. I will send someone to call Senior Sister Qinnan over."
The Daoist nun knew that Daoist Master Peng treated Zhang Yan like an honored guest, so she tried to curry favor with him. After inviting him into the palace, she served him fragrant tea and sent two maids to serve him.
Zhang Yan didn't come without a reason. He came to fetch Su Yi 'ang, who was cultivating in the Minor Demon Cave. Since he was going to destroy the Su Clan, who else would know more about it than the Su Clan's disciples? Moreover, if he had the chance, he would want to see the True Dragon Hall. With Su Yi 'ang's help, it would be much more convenient.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he saw Qinnan walking in.
She wore a lotus colored dress with a light yellow sash around her waist, and her watery sleeves fluttered in the wind, causing her to seem elegant and beautiful like a lotus flower. A trace of happiness appeared in her beautiful eyes when she saw Zhang Yan, and she said, "It really is Senior Brother. The sect has dispersed, and the seats haven't been decided yet. How could you have the time to come here?"
Zhang Yan stood up and said with a smile, "To be dissatisfied, Junior Sister, I still have important matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient for me to stay here any longer. I would like to ask Master to make things convenient for me and allow me to go to the Sea Eye Demon Cave."
According to the time, today wasn't the first day of the lunar month, so it wasn't the time to enter the cave. Seeing that Zhang Yan seemed to really have an urgent matter, she didn't ask what it was and immediately said, "This is a small matter. Martial Brother, please follow me."
After the two of them left the hall, they used their movement techniques to fly higher up. Originally, flying was prohibited on the Guardian Island, but with Qin Nan leading the way, they didn't have to worry so much. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Flying Crane Tower where the Demon Eye was.
After Immortal Peng achieved the Cave Abode, the place had been renovated. When the sea breeze blew, the music was faintly discernible, and auspicious clouds shrouded the place, giving it a somewhat immortal atmosphere.
Qin Nan moved forward and gave a few instructions to the disciples on duty before sending them away. After that, she flicked her wrist and withdrew a talisman. With a gentle shake, a ray of light flashed past. The mist in front of the door slowly dissipated.
She turned around and said to Zhang Yan, "Senior Martial Brother, I have already removed the restriction. You can go in without worry. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for today's matter."
Qin Nan's lips curled into a smile. She said, "Shixiong, you don't have to be so courteous with little sister." She curtsied and left.
Zhang Yan stepped into the Flying Crane Tower and saw a white jade railing in the middle of the tower. It was still the same as it was twenty years ago.
The last time he came here, he was still a Light Aura disciple who wanted to break through to the Mystic Light Realm and go through the demonic cave with Xie Zongyuan and the others. Now, he was at the Core Formation Realm and was fighting for the position of one of the top ten disciples. Although this place was different, his heart of seeking immortality was still firm.
He took a few steps forward and stood on the railing of the well. He formed a hand seal and summoned Su Yi Ang's soul.
Not long after, he received a response in his heart. He took out a piece of jade and threw it into the water.
Suddenly, a black light shot out from the eye of the sea and entered the jade. Zhang Yan's movements were fast. He raised his hand and recalled the jade. He put it in his sleeve and flew out of the hall.
He flew quickly in the sky and passed by Jiang Ben Island. Just Now, he sat down and took out the jade. He said in a deep voice, "Where is Su Yi Ang?"
A clear silhouette appeared from the jade and kowtowed, "This lowly one greets Master. May Master be safe and sound."
Su Yi Ang had cultivated at the bottom of the sea for thirty years, and he had the Origin Seeking Scripture. He was many times stronger than those demons who had no consciousness and could only rely on time. Now that he had the body of a true demon, he was like a mortal Mystic Light Realm cultivator. He was gloomy like a ghost, and there was a layer of demonic energy around his face. However, he was still trembling in front of someone like Zhang Yan who could decide his life and death with one thought.
Zhang Yan said loudly, "Su Yi Ang, I don't mind telling you that the betrayal of your family has been exposed. The sect wants to exterminate them."
Su Yi Ang's body shook and he said, "Master, after this little one lost his physical body, I am no longer a member of the Su Family."
Zhang Yan smiled. "Don't panic. I'm going to steal a physical body for you and become a disciple of the Su Family again."
Su Yi Ang's mind worked quickly and he guessed what Zhang Yan meant. He followed along and said, "This little one will follow Master's orders."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and put the jade into his sleeves. He rose into the air and turned into a streak of clouds as he headed toward the Surging Waves Lake.
At the same time, the cave that Su Yi Ang was in was surrounded by a thousand or so cultivators. Rainbow lights shone in all directions, and there was a dense mist everywhere.
Under Qi Yuntian's orderly arrangements, in just fifteen minutes, countless formation flags and restrictions had been set up around this area.
Because they knew that the five Nascent Soul Venerable Masters of the Su Clan were all here, in order to prevent them from escaping, there were three Nascent Soul Venerable Masters standing guard at each position, coordinating with each other and relying on each other to help each other.
After the formation flags were set up, Qi Yuntian personally sat on the main seat and waved the formation flags in his hand. A loud sound came from the four corners of the formation, and a yellow smoke rushed up and condensed into a ball in the air, covering the sky.
But he didn't stop there. He ordered his disciples to continue setting up restrictions outside the formation. If this continued, it would only take a day and a night to set up this place like an iron bucket. The people inside would be like turtles in a jar. Even a Yuanying Spiritual Master wouldn't be able to break out.
If the five Yuanying Spiritual Masters were to risk their lives and charge into the formation, maybe one or two of them would have a chance to break out of the cage and escape.
But they had been refining the restrictions at the bottom of the lake for more than twenty years. The disciples didn't dare to disturb them. By the time they realized something was wrong, they had already missed the opportunity.
At this moment, in the underground palace of the deep stream, Su Yi Hong was flying down the long tunnel like a meteor.
This passageway extended diagonally for over thirty kilometers underground, and it led directly to the True Dragon's abode. Before long, he arrived at the end of the passageway, and he strode into the inner hall with large strides. He said loudly to the disciples on duty that were looking at him in astonishment, "I wish to see the five granduncles.
The disciple on duty didn't buy it and said coldly, "Dalang, the five ancestors are in seclusion. No matter what, don't disturb them."
Su Yi Hong's eyes turned fierce. He reached out and pushed the disciple to the side. Then, he shouted loudly and knocked the heavy stone door open. When he stepped into the inner hall, the iron armor on his body was still shaking. He wanted to go forward, but when he looked up, he saw a golden Talisman blocking his way. He knew he couldn't go through.
With a loud bang, he knelt in front of the door and said loudly, "Five granduncles, there's a change in the sect. Now Qi Yuntian has led more than a thousand cultivators to surround the deep stream. I'm afraid the matter of the True Dragon Cave has been exposed. How should I deal with it? Please tell me, granduncles."
He waited patiently for a while. An old voice came from inside and said, "We already know what's happening outside. You don't have to worry. Go and stop them for a while. You only need to hold on for a day or two, and there will be a turn for the better."
As soon as the voice finished speaking, several beams of treasure light landed in front of him. The voice continued, "These are our magic treasures. Now, they are all bestowed to you. There is also a Dharma Seal. You can command all the mortal disciples in the outside world, regardless of whether they live or die."
Su Yi Hong looked up and said confidently, "If it's just a day or two, there's no need for others to help. I alone am enough!"
At this time, outside of the deep stream, Qi Yuntian was sitting on the flag platform. A white-haired Daoren came up and said, "Eldest senior brother, I've just circled around a few times and understood it. This forbidden array is called the 'Returning Dragon Mirage Array'. It's an external defensive array. Inside, there are countless small array cages. There are also array tools that connect the mountains, rivers, and the earth's qi. There are also disciples who maintain control of the array. As long as the spiritual qi is not exhausted and the array is operating properly, once a door is broken, another door can be created. There will never be a day when it's broken."
At this point, Daoren turned around and pointed at the forbidden array in the distance. He said, "If you want to break this array, if there's no inside to occupy the flag position, you need a powerful cultivator to stabilize the qi. Then, you need to order the disciples to attack day and night from the outside to reduce its spiritual qi and control its rotation. Finally, you need to order the disciples to kill their way in from the living door and break the flag door to break the array."
Qi Yuntian listened and nodded. Although this array was difficult to break, there was a path to follow and a method to rely on. It was just a little more effort.
The most troublesome ones were those strange restrictions that he didn't know of. Just calculating the operation of the formation would take a long time.
At this moment, in addition to the twelve Nascent Soul Daoist Masters guarding the outer formation, there were also four Nascent Soul Elders from the aristocratic families on the side. After giving a few instructions, he sent them to the four corners with their magic treasures to stabilize the formation.
However, less than an hour later, the mist above the Deep Ravine froze, as if it had been grabbed by a large hand.
The white-haired Daoren showed a happy expression and said, "Eldest senior brother, the senior brothers have stopped the array. Now we can start!"
Qi Yuntian's eyes narrowed. He raised his hand and shot out a talisman. In an instant, there was a whistling sound in the sky.
With the sound of this talisman, countless rays of golden light flew out like a torrential rain. The whistling sound was like the tide as it fell on the grand array outside the deep stream.
This time, the attack gathered the power of more than a thousand cultivators. It was divided into two waves and they took turns to attack. At this moment, the array above the deep stream was like a candle in the wind, flickering. However, after two hours, there was a rumbling sound and the northwest gate opened, revealing a door.
Qi Yuntian knew that there would be a trap inside the life gate. He looked left and right and said, "The life gate has been opened. If any of the disciples can break the gate, I will report to the sect master and he will be rewarded."
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the Core Formation disciples from the aristocratic families moved, but they were afraid of stepping into the trap.
However, after watching for a while and seeing that there was no movement from the door, they couldn't hold back anymore since they had treasures protecting them. Three of them stepped forward and clasped their hands toward Qi Yuntian. Without waiting for a response, they led more than ten Mystic Light Realm cultivators toward the door of life.
