Zhang Yan used three days and Just Now, he was out of the mountain valley and back to the surface. In front of him was a dirt road.
He followed this road and after traveling five miles, he saw a horse and mule market with about a thousand people. A fishy smell assailed his nostrils.
He gathered his mana in his eyes and looked ahead. From afar, he saw more than ten scattered settlements. The small ones had about a hundred people and the big ones had about a few thousand people.
Although this place was not as densely populated as the cities in the Kingdom of Song, and was not a prosperous and prosperous place, he could still see several streams of spiritual energy rising from the ground. They were like long, straight smoke, and did not dissipate. It was obvious that there were cultivators staying here.
Ordinary people were unable to see such a scene, and only cultivators like him were able to see it clearly.
However, he had found out beforehand that these people weren't members of the Xuan Sect, but they were rogue cultivators who weren't willing to be restricted by the three sects. They formed a loose alliance with each other, and they were called the Zhen Luo Alliance.
This alliance was quite powerful and there were many cultivators in the alliance. If they were to work together, they would be able to fight against the three sects.
The Middle Pillar Continent was bounded by the Hidden Screen Mountain. The east side was the land of Ping Dong, where the three sects were located. It had a large population and was the essence of the continent.
On the west side was the land of Ping Xi. Although there were vast plains and vast mountains, the land was sparsely populated. The people lived by herding animals, fishing, and hunting. The three great sects had originally regarded it as a barren land and rarely came here. Therefore, it was occupied by those loose cultivators.
Zhang Yan did not want to meet the few cultivators. He wanted to socialize with them, so he deliberately avoided them.
After traveling a hundred miles, he got on a cloud and stopped to summon Mountain River Child. After confirming the direction, he sped up and headed towards Kunyu.
After another half a day, he was deep into the interior of the Middle Pillar Continent. Looking down from the cloud, the land was boundless. The plains were lush with water and grass. Large herds of cows and horses galloped. Ice-blue lakes dotted the land like jewels. The scenery was magnificent and beautiful.
However, at this moment, he felt that something was amiss. He stopped and quietly looked around. A look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He made a hand sign and released the Water Elemental True Light. A ray of light spread out in front of him.
He concentrated his energy on his eyes and searched inside, only to find that the long-bearded Taoist and the strong man who was trapped here a few days ago had disappeared!
He took a closer look. He saw a ferocious-looking strange insect the size of a palm with several pairs of wings on its back wandering around. He couldn't help but say, "So it's you who's causing trouble here!"
This was the Bloodline Gold Worm that he had captured that day. He had been trapped in the Water Element True Light for a long time. He had thought that he would have died in the Water Element True Light, but unexpectedly, he was still alive.
Not only that, but it also devoured all the people he had thrown into the True Light.
After knowing the truth, he was not in the mood to pay attention to it. Just as he was about to withdraw the Water Element True Light, the golden bug seemed to sense something. It suddenly shook its wings and turned into a beam of golden light that flew out. It had been trapped for a long time, and now that it had escaped the cage, it immediately flew back and forth. It let out a squeaking sound, showing its excitement.
Zhang Yan saw it flying happily and said with a smile, "Fine, since you've escaped today, it's heaven's will. I won't catch you again, you can go."
He flicked his sleeve and was about to leave, but the golden bug suddenly squeaked and landed in front of him, then circled around him.
Zhang Yan saw that the bug didn't have any evil intentions, so he said, "What else do you want?"
The golden bug rushed at him again and actually spat out a thick drop of blood. It then floated in front of him without moving.
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. This was the golden bug taking the initiative to recognize him as its master.
He thought for a moment and thought to himself, "Although this Bloodline Gold Insect was raised by the Devil Sect's Yu Gu Xie, it is still a very powerful flying insect. If I suddenly release it to fight an enemy, it might have a miraculous effect. I might as well keep it."
This kind of good thing was delivered to his doorstep, so he naturally wouldn't refuse it. Without hesitation, he stretched out his finger and accepted the drop of blood.
Previously, there were hundreds and thousands of golden bugs, but they were trapped in the Water Element True Light for dozens of years. They couldn't eat flesh and blood, so they could only eat each other. Just Now, there was only one left.
However, it was also a blessing in disguise. Originally, the golden bug could only follow its instincts, but this one had unexpectedly developed a bit of intelligence.
However, it hadn't eaten for a long time and was originally on the verge of death. Until a few days ago, when Zhang Yan threw more than twenty people into the Water Element True Light, its life was saved and it was able to eat to its heart's content.
Now, not only did its strength recover, even its appearance had changed slightly.
After Zhang Yan received the blood, the golden bug let out a happy cry. It folded its wings and landed on his palm. Then, it curled up into a ball with its head and tail intertwined. It was unexpectedly motionless.
Looking at the bug's appearance, Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat. His eyes flickered slightly as he suddenly had a guess.
He smiled and took out a green-skinned gourd. He opened the cork and put it in. Then, he put it away and didn't care about it anymore.
He shook his sleeves and once again took up his sword and flew away, turning into a ray of light.
However, he didn't realize that at this moment, in the sky, there was a small red cloud flying over. A young lady with two conches on her head and a bright red dress was hiding in it. She held an iron mirror in her hand and was looking back and forth.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a ray of light flashing in the mirror. She couldn't help but let out a "Eh". Then, she stared at it for a while and her expression couldn't help but tighten. She muttered, "Master said that these few days, we have to be careful of Lie Xuan Order's disciples sneaking into Ping Xi. This person's Dao technique is really strange. Could it be that he is from Ping Dong?"
She thought for a while and formed a spell. The red cloud suddenly changed and turned into a flying boat. She stepped on it and with a shout, she activated her mana and chased after him.
Even though Zhang Yan was flying, he still maintained a sense of vigilance and immediately noticed that someone was following him.
At first, he didn't think much of it. He was using the Sword Escape Technique and his speed was peerless. He thought that he would be able to shake off the person behind him in a moment.
However, after traveling for a full hour, he saw that the person was still following him.
He didn't know what the flying boat-shaped instrument was made of, but it was actually able to keep up with his sword light. He couldn't help but feel surprised.
He was amazed, but he didn't know that the young lady was even more surprised than him.
Her instrument was made by the Zhen Luo Union. It was specially used to investigate information and send letters. It was a piece of cake for it to travel ten thousand miles in a day.
Even if those Yuanying Zhenren didn't use an instrument, they wouldn't be able to catch up. She originally thought that she could catch up in a few breaths, but this Daoist in front of her actually used a ray of escaping light and she couldn't catch up even if she used her full strength.
Ever since she started cultivating, she had never left Ping Xi. Even though she heard the elders and cultivators from other continents talking about the Flying Sword Art, she had never seen it before. Therefore, she didn't recognize that Zhang Yan was using the Sword Escape Technique. She only thought that he was purely using the Mysterious Light to escape. How could she not be shocked?
After flying for a while, her Qi was running out. She quickly took out a medicinal pill from her pouch and swallowed it. She adjusted her breath and her spirit recovered.
However, she still couldn't catch up to this person. She couldn't help but feel worried and thought, "This person's Escape Technique is so powerful, but I can't stop him by myself. If I let him fly, I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause. I should ask the elders in the sect for help."
She waved her hand and took out a Flying Talisman from her pouch. She chanted a spell and sent the talisman into the sky.
In an instant, a ray of light flew to the top of the clouds and exploded in the sky. Even the scorching sun in the sky couldn't cover its brilliance.
At this moment, ten thousand miles away, there were two cultivators from Zhen Luo Union fishing by the lake.
One of the young Daoists swung his fishing rod, and the waves flew up. He caught a fierce fish that was ten meters long and had a mouth full of sharp teeth.
The young Daoist laughed and said, "Daoist Ding, I won again."
The Daoist at the side smiled bitterly and said, "Daoist Yang's skill is a level higher. I can't compare."
The young Daoist smiled proudly and shook his fishing rod again, throwing the fierce fish down. He said, "Again."
This person's surname was Yang, and his name was Bingqing. He was originally a cultivator from Dong Hua Continent. He had been in Middle Pillar Continent for dozens of years. In the past, he was a guest under Demon King Jiu Kui. Later, because he offended Pengyuan Sect, he thought he couldn't establish himself in Dong Hua Continent anymore, so he came here.
In the past, he obtained a secret book on the East Sea. After dozens of years of cultivation, he had reached the first level of Core Transformation Realm and had some status in Zhen Luo Union.
Although he was an itinerant cultivator, he was often proud of being born in Donghua and looked down on the cultivators here. He thought that they only relied on the rare spiritual items in the continent to refine a few more magic treasures, which was why they had some skills.
In terms of real skills and ability to fight in battle, no one in the same generation could compare to him.
If he also had such rich cultivation items in Dong Hua Continent, why would he have to hide here from thousands of miles away?
Daoist Ding beside him seemed to have a lot on his mind. Seeing that the fish in his hand had left the hook again, he put down the fishing rod and said, "Daoist Yang, have you heard recently that Lie Xuan Sect has set up an altar in front of Ping Dong Valley Road, saying that they want to come here to preach. If they really come, how can we survive? We need to be careful. "
Yang Bingqing didn't care and said, "Daoist Ding, don't worry. Lie Xuan Sect may be big, but they are people who are used to living a good life. Why would they come to this poor and remote place to suffer? I think it's most likely a rumor. "
Ding Daoist shook his head and said, "Rumors may not be without reason. It's never wrong to be more vigilant. Within a radius of thirty thousand miles, the alliance is under our control. If anything happens, we will not be able to escape responsibility."
Yang Bingqing felt disappointed and threw the fishing rod away. He said, "Fine, fine, fine. Let's go patrol again today. What do you think?"
Daoist Ding smiled and said, "Exactly."
As the two were talking, their expressions suddenly changed. They looked up at the sky and saw the shining light. Yang Bingqing raised his eyebrows and said, "I think you are right."
Daoist Ding suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Looking at the light, it should be from Lady Situ. Even she couldn't stop it. The person who came must be very skilled."
The two of them looked at each other and didn't say anything more. They each took out their flying magic tools and rushed to the place where the signal light was … To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)! ~!
