Priest Deng flew on the eagle and arrived at the exit of the ravine in less than two days. However, he waited outside the mountain for half a day and did not see the caravan come out.
Just as he was getting impatient, he suddenly saw someone running down the mountain. From the looks of it, it was Qi Weiling's subordinate. He had seen him once before. He descended to the front of the guard and said with a cold face, "What's going on? Why are you here? Where did everyone go? Where's Qi Zhong? "
When the guard saw Priest Deng, he immediately knelt down and answered while panting, "Immortal Master Deng, the caravan has gone to Hanjing."
Priest Deng was startled, then he said angrily, "Nonsense! The paths in the mountain are winding and winding. After I received the letter, I rushed here at full speed. No matter how fast my feet are, I can only leave the mountain today. Besides, on my way here, I didn't see a single person. How could I have gone to Han Capital? Are you trying to lie to me? "
At this time, the guard had somewhat caught his breath. He saw that this Immortal Master was really angry, so he didn't dare to say anything. He reached into his pocket and searched for a while before taking out a letter. He held it high above his head and said, "This is the letter that Captain Qi left for Immortal Master."
Priest Deng took it and read it. Only then did he understand the reason behind it. He was so angry that the corners of his eyes twitched and he kept cursing, "Trash."
It turned out that Zhang Yan used his Qi to form a bridge. After crossing the cliff, he took out a few talismans and burned them. He mixed them into the water and made the people and horses submit.
With the help of this Talisman, everyone felt their steps become lighter. In just one day, they had passed through twelve winding ravines.
Based on the speed of their footsteps. Now that they had arrived at Hanjing, it was definitely not an empty promise.
The guard said in a low voice, "Wei Weiling specially ordered me to stay behind and secretly leave a copy of the letter and the appearance of these two people for Immortal Master Deng."
Priest Deng's face darkened. He threw the letter and shouted, "Since this happened, why didn't you report to me earlier? Why did you make me wait for so long? "
The guard felt wronged and pointed to the sky. He said with a trembling voice, "Immortal Master, as the saying goes, 'Looking at the mountain will kill the horse'. Immortal Master is in the sky. This lowly one was pursuing him on the ground. Although I saw him long ago, it was not easy to keep up with him. That's why I was late. "
Priest Deng resisted the urge to punch this person to death. He snorted, then rode on his eagle and chased after Han Capital.
But it was already too late. On the way to the capital. As expected, there was no trace of them. It was just as the guard had said, the caravan had already entered Han Capital.
At this moment, a vast human city appeared in front of him. As soon as he got close, a white-haired Daoist arrived in front of him on an artifact and reprimanded him without any trace of politeness. "Which sect are you from? Don't you know that you can't fly above Han Capital? "
He was not allowed to fly in Han Capital. This was a rule set by the three sects, and Priest Deng naturally knew about it. However, he was irritated and did not pay attention to it. After being berated by the other party, he couldn't even talk back. He felt even more furious in his heart, but he held back his anger and cupped his hands. "Fellow Daoist, I was too rash."
After apologizing a few more times and waiting for the other party's expression to clear up, he finally retreated. When he was a few dozen miles away, he was already filled with rage.
The reason why he chose to attack at this moment was not without reason. After Madam Wang's husband died, the original Dao Palace talisman was useless and could no longer protect the caravan.
This time, Madam Wang went to the Dao Palace to request for a new talisman, and this was a chance for him to attack.
If Madam Wang was taken care of by his senior and junior brothers. It would be impossible for him to attack again.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Two wild Daoists spoiled my plans, and now they want to leave? How can there be such a good thing in the world! "
He waved his sleeves and angrily returned to his cave abode.
When he arrived at the sub-altar, he took out a Shadow Painting of the two people, formed a spell, and sent them to his sub-altar. Then, he sneered, "No matter where you run to, I will find you!"
Lie Xuan Sect was one of the three major sects of Middle Pillar State, and they had branches in every state, city, and county. Once the images were sent out, as long as the people in the branch saw it, they would know that it was the people the sect disciples wanted to capture, and they would definitely capture them.
However, if the opponent was too strong or came from a major sect, they would have to report to the main altar and not act on their own.
Priest Deng only thought that they were two wild Daoists from small sects, and he did not know that they came from Donghua Continent, so he did not take it to heart. Otherwise, he would definitely do things according to the rules.
At this moment, Zhang Yan had already bid farewell to Madam Wang, and with the Fish Drum True Spirit and Mountain River Child, he rushed to Middle Pillar State's Mt. Screen.
This was the only way to get to Kunyu. This mountain was located to the east of the Middle Pillar Continent, and it also pierced the clouds. It was shaped like a wooden comb, and it divided the road into two. It was impossible to pass through it from a high place, so the only way was to go through the belly of the mountain.
Although there was no one to lead the way this time, before they parted, Madam Wang gave him a secret map. This map was passed down through the generations of the Wang family, and all the underground paths in the mountain were marked with red lines. The map not only covered the territory of the Kingdom of Song, but also the Kingdom of Qi and Kingdom of Wei. There were also a few secret paths that only the royal family knew about.
This made Mountain River Child very surprised. Such a detailed map was impossible to complete even if a lot of manpower and resources were spent, and it would take hundreds of years.
With this map in hand, it was enough to make a family flourish.
This time, if Zhang Yan did not help Madam Wang greatly, and this woman could see that the two of them were not ordinary people, she would not have given them this item.
The Middle Pillar State was vast, and even though Zhang Yan could fly fast, it still took him half a month. Just Now, he found another path.
Different from other paths that were buried deep in the mountains, before this path, there was a road that could allow four horses to run side by side. The stone road was very smooth, and at the end, there were rows of jade steps that led to the waist of the mountain.
Zhang Yan had good eyesight, and standing at the foot of the mountain, he could see that there was an altar there, and there were a few tall and strong people who looked like strong men, holding up a big stick made of gold leaf. Under the memorial archway, there were banners with gold bells and colorful knots, jade ornaments, and copper rings. There were a few Daoists dressed in yellow Daoist robes standing there, and they were ringing bells, chanting spells, and chanting.
The altar was filled with offerings, and behind it, there was a black wooden statue that was half the height of a human. Zhang Yan could see clearly that this was Lord Yi Ya, whom he had seen before.
Every time those merchants and travelers went over, they would kneel in front of the god statue, and after they paid their respects, they would go into the cave.
Zhang Yan called out to a passing white-haired elder, and asked, "Sir, what is the use of this altar on the mountain?"
That elder saw that he was wearing a Daoist robe and had an extraordinary bearing, and he didn't look like an ordinary person, so he answered honestly, "This Daoist must have wandered here, right? There are many demons and strange beasts in the belly of the mountain, and they usually hide in the mountains, but in recent years, they have become bolder, and there are even some that come out to hurt people. Thus, last month, the country king invited Lie Xuan Sect to open an altar here, and people who pass by only need to buy a Talisman, and they will be safe on their journey. "
Zhang Yan nodded his head, and said, "So that's how it is. Are those people who are kneeling in worship believers of Lie Xuan Sect?"
The elder seemed to have thought of something, and he sighed, and shook his head, "Not all of them are believers, but those few Daoists said that to pass this trial, one must kneel in worship of the god of that sect."
Zhang Yan understood the situation here, and he thanked the elder, and walked up the mountain.
Since there was a sect that was setting up an altar here to perform their rituals, he didn't have any intention to have a conflict with them. When he arrived in front of those few Daoists, he ordered Mountain River Child to hand over a box of jade beads. The Daoist opposite him opened it, and his face revealed a joyful expression. He bowed to Zhang Yan, and he moved to the side to make way.
Zhang Yan returned the greeting, and just as he was about to go over, a Daoist with a long beard, who was wearing a Pure Yang Scarf on his head, walked out, and stopped him. He said, "This Daoist friend, originally, only believers of my sect can enter the mountain, but the two of you are considered to be from my sect, so I won't make things difficult for you. You just have to worship in front of this god statue, and I will let you pass."
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows, and he said, "Daoist friend, those commoners are fine, but I have my own sect, so how can I worship the patriarch of another sect?"
In the eyes of those commoners, Venerable Master Yi Ya was a god. Even if there was no benefit in worshiping him, there was no harm in it.
But in Zhang Yan's eyes, it was different.
Cultivators only kneel in three ways: Heaven, Earth, and Master. Putting aside the fact that Venerable Master Yi Ya had yet to ascend, even if he became a true immortal, he would still be the patriarch of another sect, so what did it have to do with him?
When the long-bearded Daoist heard this, he didn't think much of it. He sneered, and he said with a smile, "I see that Daoist friend isn't from one of the three big sects, right? To be able to worship my sect's patriarch is your good fortune. The patriarch of a small sect like yours doesn't have much ability, so it's fine if you don't kneel. "
Coldness flashed across Zhang Yan's eyes, and he said, "Your sect has insulted I sect with your words. If you don't take back your words, don't blame I for being rude."
That long-bearded Daoist glared at him, and he said, "What, you still dare to make a move?"
At this moment, a Daoist child hurried over, and he whispered a few words into the Daoist's ear. The Daoist's expression changed, and he looked at Zhang Yan up and down. He then took a step back, and he said, "I was wondering where this wild Daoist came from, to be so unruly and unreasonable. So it's a demon of the evil path. Men, capture him for me."
He waved his horsetail whisk, and more than 20 strong men immediately surrounded him.
In the Donghua Continent, Strongmen were just guards and attendants. But here, even the generals, commanders, and nobles, in order to extend their lives and increase their blessings, did not hesitate to spend money to invite people from the three major sects to open altars and cultivate themselves into Strongmen. Thus, there were also many techniques passed down.
The strong men in front of him were all nourished with secret medicines since they were young, and even if they met a Mystic Light Realm cultivator, they could still fight.
Apart from Zhang Yan, there were also the merchants and travelers that passed by the mountain. They were a group of bold people who dared to travel a thousand miles. Seeing that something had happened, not only were they not afraid, but they even revealed expressions of watching a good show.
Zhang Yan laughed coldly. He waved his sleeves, and a cloud of smoke flew out, instantly rolling the 20 strong men on the ground.
Seeing this, the long-bearded Daoist was shocked. He didn't think that the Daoist in front of him would be so ferocious. He suddenly thought of something, and he rolled up his sleeves and ran over to pick up the statue behind the altar. He was about to use the power of the statue to cast a Daoist technique.
Zhang Yan smiled coldly. He waved his sleeves, and there was a loud sound as a ray of water flashed by.
When the onlookers looked over, they were all shocked. The area in front of them was already empty. Not only did the Daoist and the dozens of disciples from Lie Xuan Sect disappear, even the stone altar was empty and had disappeared without a trace.
