Zhang Yan took out eight Talisman cards from his sleeve and rubbed them with his thumb. There was a rise of smoke and they turned into eight white lights that flew away and disappeared into the dark cave.
He narrowed his eyes and followed the Talisman carefully with his mind.
This talisman was a devil-warding talisman. It could disperse Yin Devils, but right now he wasn't using it to kill devils. Instead, he was using it to find out which area had too few devils. It was very likely that the disciples of the Blood Soul Sect had taken in devils.
After the Talisman went out for a few miles, he destroyed them one by one, but he did not find anything unusual.
He did not find it strange. This place was close to the entrance of the Sea Eye Devil Cave, so it was very likely that the other party would avoid this place.
As for whether the other party would give up this place because of the Qincang School, in his opinion, the possibility was very small.
Not to mention the temperament of the disciples of the Devil Path, it was almost impossible for them to resist the temptation of abandoning such a good Devil Cave.
As long as the disciples of the Blood Soul Sect were still active here, he would be able to find some clues along the way.
However, he also knew that this method was too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and the progress was too slow. Originally, he accepted this task with some confidence in his heart. The reason was that Su Yi 'ang had stayed in this Devil Cave for more than twenty years, so he was very familiar with this place.
However, he did not expect that when he came out from Immortal Peng and returned to the mansion to take out Su Yi 'ang's separated soul for questioning, he found that it was much weaker and almost on the verge of dissipating. He immediately guessed that it was caused by a battle with an enemy. He called out several times in his heart, but there was no response. He guessed that it was due to a serious injury. Therefore, he could only put this idea aside for the time being.
Mo Ying saw that two of the twelve people on her side had fallen into the Devil Cave Just Now, so it was obvious that the devil was powerful. Just in case, she quickly took out a calming pill from her sachet and swallowed it.
In fact, the two disciples were not as weak as she thought, and the devil was also not that powerful. It was just because Zhang Yan brought them here this time that they thought they had the protection of a senior, so they had a sense of dependence in their hearts. It was inevitable that she would let her guard down.
Thanks to Zhang Yan's reminder. After ordering the Yin Demons to retreat, the two disciples suddenly felt a little ashamed. They thought about how they had painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years. This trip to the Devil's Cave was originally a good opportunity, but if their minds were taken away by the Heart Demon, then no one would be able to save them. Even reincarnation would be an extravagant hope.
Fortunately, they were well-prepared. Mo Ying called a few disciples over. They set up restriction array flags all around to protect the twelve people. This place was rich in Spirit Qi. After they settled down, they all tried their best to adjust their breathing, fighting for time to improve their cultivation.
Mo Ying stole a glance at Zhang Yan. He stood on a high stone platform, his eyes shining like lightning, as if he was searching for something.
She was a sensitive and meticulous woman. She had calmed down after the excitement from before. However, he felt slightly uneasy.
This time, the Sect had actually sent Zhang Yan, who was ranked ninth among the Ten Great Disciples, to this place. If it was just to protect their group, then they were overestimating them a bit too much. Even she herself found it hard to believe, so she speculated that this matter was definitely not ordinary.
If there was really any danger. This place was filled with people from the same sect, and she didn't want to see anything happen to any of them.
After thinking about it carefully, she bit her red lower lip and took the initiative to step forward. She bowed and said, "I, Mo Ying, greet Uncle-Master Zhang and send my regards to Uncle-Master on behalf of my uncle."
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised and asked, "May I know which senior martial brother your uncle is?"
Mo Ying lowered her head. She said softly, "My Uncle's surname is Mo Zheng, and his name is Tianhua."
After she said that, she felt really uneasy. Mo Tianhua and Zhang Yan didn't have much of a relationship, and there were some conflicts between them.
However, she was also smart. When the two of them had a conflict, Zhang Yan actually didn't lose out. Instead, it was her Uncle who was taught a lesson. Even if Zhang Yan ignored her, he wouldn't make things difficult for her, a junior. Instead, she could use this opportunity to talk to him and get some information.
Zhang Yan looked at her and smiled. He said meaningfully, "So you're Senior Brother Mo's junior. Hmm, you do look a bit like him, but he's not as smart as you."
Mo Ying met his gaze and suddenly felt guilty, as if she was seen through. She quickly lowered her head.
Zhang Yan looked forward again, and his gaze landed on the deep end. He said, "The spiritual Qi in this Devil's Cave is even denser than when I was here last time. I think the Devil's Cave is even more powerful. However, it will be very beneficial for your cultivation. The deeper you go, the better it will be. I won't hide it from you. There is indeed another important matter that requires us to go deeper into the Devil's Cave. However, every hundred miles, I will set up a prohibition formation. Among you disciples, if you have the guts, you can come with me."
Mo Ying's thoughts were exposed by Zhang Yan's words, and she felt her ears burning.
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I will rest here for a while. We will depart in an hour. You can decide what to do by then."
After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the stone platform, closed his eyes and held his breath. He didn't speak anymore.
Mo Ying pondered for a moment. This time, her fellow disciples had gathered a lot of spirit shells and bought a flying boat. A hundred miles was not short, but it was not long either. The spiritual Qi here was so dense that it made her exclaim. If they went deeper into the Devil's Cave, they would definitely gain a lot of benefits. It was worth a try.
More importantly, if they followed Zhang Yan, they would encounter danger. As a senior in the sect, how could he just sit back and do nothing?
Therefore, after she went back, she didn't mention what she was worried about. She only told her fellow disciples about her thoughts. Immediately, many people agreed with her. Although there were a few people who were still hesitant, they couldn't change the minds of the majority and decided to follow along.
Mo Ying then returned to Zhang Yan's place. After bowing, she said softly, "Martial Uncle, we are willing to go with you."
She waited for a while, but seeing that Zhang Yan was still sitting there without saying a word or moving, she bent her knees and lifted the hem of her skirt to leave. She released the flying boat, and everyone sat on it, silently adjusting their breathing as they waited to depart.
After an hour, Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and stood up from the stone. He turned into a cloud and flew forward.
When Mo Ying and the others saw this, they also hurriedly drove the flying boat to follow. However, Zhang Yan's speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. They anxiously moved forward for a hundred miles. When they saw a restriction, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. After discussing for a while, they decided to go deeper.
They walked and stopped. Along the way, although they saw a few True Devils who had gained intelligence hanging behind the flying boat, they were protected by a formation every hundred miles, so they didn't encounter any danger.
After three days, they reached the depths of the Devil's Cave and saw Zhang Yan's figure again. Mo Ying exclaimed in surprise, "Martial Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Yan nodded when he saw that they had caught up to him.
At this moment, he also slowed down. Although he didn't gain anything in the past few days, he wasn't anxious.
Just as he was about to move again, he felt that the split soul seemed to be trembling slightly. His heart moved, and he took out a piece of beautiful jade.
A wisp of Su Yiang's soul emerged from the jade. He said in a panic, "Master, a few days ago, I fought with a Devil Dao disciple and was seriously injured. These few days, I have been absorbing souls to recuperate, so I haven't replied. I hope Master can forgive me. "
Zhang Yan also knew that this matter couldn't be blamed on him. He smiled and said, "Fellow Su, there's no need to mention this matter anymore. Let me ask you, are you familiar with the situation here?"
Su Yiang was stunned. He looked around and hurriedly said, "Master, isn't this in the Sea Eye Devil's Cave? I have stayed here for more than twenty years. I can't say that I know everything, but I know the general situation. "
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I think so too. Then, have you met that Blood Soul Sect disciple here?"
Su Yiang shrunk his neck. He carefully replied, "Replying to Master, not only did I see him, I even swallowed the soul of a disciple when he was unprepared …"
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Then do you know where they entered this Devil's Cave?"
Su Yiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I know the general location, I also sensed that there are cultivators with high cultivation guarding that place. However, I also sensed that there were cultivators with profound cultivation guarding that place. Furthermore, the disciples of the Devil Sect are experts in dealing with devils, so I didn't dare to get too close. I can't be sure.
However, Zhang Yan became spirited and said, "Fellow Su, I don't need you to lead the way. You just need to tell me the path."
Su Yiang had nothing to hide, so he hurriedly told him what he knew. Zhang Yan kept nodding as he listened, memorizing everything in his heart. Seeing Su Yiang's figure dim, it seemed that his figure dimmed even more after he said that, Zhang Yan said, "Fellow Su, go back and recuperate. If there's anything, I will find you again."
Su Yiang was grateful and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Master."
Zhang Yan put the beautiful jade back into his sleeve.
At this moment, his eyes flashed. With the right direction to guide him, he didn't need to fumble around. After calculating in his heart, he got up and flew to the flying ship of Mo Ying and the others. He said, "You all can cultivate here, there's no need to go forward. The restriction formation I set up will protect you. If I don't return, you all can return on your own after you've cultivated to perfection."
After saying that, he leaped up and turned into a wisp of smoke. Like a thunderclap, he tore through the air and disappeared in a flash.
Mo Ying calmed herself down and turned back to say, "Uncle-Master Zhang brought us to the depths of this Devil's Cave. It's a rare opportunity, so everyone must cherish it."
These days, when the disciples cultivated in this place, they felt that the accumulation of spiritual Qi was extremely fast. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they advanced by leaps and bounds. Thus, they all nodded and seized the opportunity to circulate their cultivation techniques, as if they were afraid of missing out on a fated chance.
Zhang Yan followed the path Su Yiang pointed out and flew to the west. In less than half a day, he arrived in front of a cave. He didn't need to get close and just looked from afar. It didn't take long for him to see some clues.
Although there was no formation here, it was obviously carefully arranged by someone. If he looked carefully, he could even see traces of people entering and leaving.
Not setting up a formation was precisely for better concealment.
He wasn't in a hurry to go in. Instead, he circled around outside, thinking that if he set up a formation here, it wouldn't be so simple. He would definitely set up an artifact in an inconspicuous corner. He didn't hope to injure the enemy, but as long as he was alerted, he could be prepared in advance.
After pondering for a while, he smiled faintly and found a hidden boulder outside to sit down. He cast a concealment spell and sat still like a statue. If this was the entrance, then the Demon Sect disciple would definitely come out from here.
He waited patiently, but after waiting for more than ten days, there was still no movement. His expression didn't change, as if he had only waited for a moment.
Another twenty days passed, and there was still nothing.
His heart was like a boulder, and he still sat still.
On the thirty-sixth day, suddenly, a blood-red figure flashed out in front of the cave.
