Zhang Yan glanced at the letter and thought to himself that the little demon he killed must have some kind of background.
His thoughts changed and he said frankly, "It's true. When I was passing through the East Sea, there was a fierce demon cultivator who attacked me without asking for the reason. I thought he was rude, so I sent him away. I don't know how I alarmed you, Immortal?"
Tao Zhenren smiled lightly and said, "This person is the eighteenth son of Reef Prefecture's Prefecture Lord Lu Xingyuan. He was favored by his father. After you killed him, he tracked you all the way here and found out that you came to my Clear Feather Sect. He mistakenly thought that you were a disciple of my sect, so he mustered a large force and gathered demon soldiers to come to seek justice."
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and was extremely surprised, but it wasn't because of the little demon's identity. Not to mention the son of Reef Prefecture's Prefecture Lord, even if the Prefecture Lord came personally, there would be no reason for him to show mercy.
However, they did not know where the other party got the courage from to actually dare to bully the Clear Feather Sect.
Although Reef Prefecture was an aristocratic family that had existed for tens of thousands of years and once had a Celestial Abode Master, it had been hundreds of years since he passed away and was already showing signs of decline. It was really inconceivable that he would bare his fangs and claws at Tao Zhenren.
Tao Zhenren wasn't surprised and said with a faint smile, "That person is a demon cultivator and is very close to the Qu Clan. This isn't the first or second day. There were several strange movements before, but they were all resolved by me. This time, he found an opportunity and came to stir up trouble again. I expect that Celestial Abode Master Qu is prepared and watching from the side. If I show myself, he will most likely come to stop me."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but come to a realization. No wonder Reef Prefecture was so bold. It turned out that they had the support of another Phantasm Realm cultivator.
The Reef Prefecture was originally well-established and flourishing in the Eastern Sea. The prefecture governed over a thousand spiritual islands and over a hundred scattered sects. However, after the Clear Feather Sect was established, many small sects turned to the Clear Feather Sect. As a result, the two sects became enemies.
Lu Yuanxing knew that he could not contend against the Clear Feather Sect with just the power of the Reef Manor. Thus, he established a relationship with the Qu Clan, who had also retreated from the East Flower Sect. He was willing to be their pawn. They opposed the Clear Feather Sect in every aspect.
Although the death of his son, Lu Zhi, had enraged him greatly, it was far from the point of making a big fuss. He was merely using this as an excuse to make things difficult for them.
As for the Clear Feather Sect, they were at a disadvantage because they did not have Perfected Yuanying. Other than Tao Zhenren, no one else could touch the Reef Manor.
As the founder of a sect, Tao Zhenren could not act rashly. Otherwise, it would cause Qu Zhenren to intervene. If that happened, the situation would get out of hand, and that was why he became even more arrogant.
Zhang Yan's expression showed some doubt. He said, "There is one thing that I don't understand. How did the Blue Reef Manor know that I was coming to the Clear Feather Sect?"
When he killed Lu Zhi, there was no one else around. Otherwise, the Stars Sword Pellet would have given him a warning. After that, he went straight to the Clear Feather Sect. He did not stop along the way. After entering Mysterious Spirit Island, he did not even rest for a moment before coming to see Tao Zhenren. The Reef Manor almost immediately made a move. The speed of their reaction was somewhat inconceivable.
Tao Zhenren smiled and explained to him, "It's nothing strange. The Reef Manor raises many turtle spirits, and they call them 'Immortal Elders.' These people cultivate Dao without seeking results. It's just that it's very difficult to calculate your background for their master. But to calculate where you are going, you just have to sacrifice a few lives. "
Zhang Yan nodded in understanding and sighed. "I didn't expect I's unintentional action to cause so much trouble for Tao Zhenren."
Tao Zhenren did not mind. He originally wanted to wait until his disciple reached the Nascent Soul stage before dealing with the Reef Manor. Therefore, he did not act up and cleverly resolved several crises.
However, he also knew that the Reef Manor would definitely not give the Clear Feather Sect the time to do so. Even if this matter did not happen, they would have taken action sooner or later. Thus, he shook his head and smiled. "This is not your fault."
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and cupped his hands. "This matter started because of me. I cannot let the Clear Feather Sect's disciple take the blame on my behalf. I should come forward and settle this karma for you."
Tao Zhenren turned his head and looked at Zhang Yan. His gaze was like the stars in the sky, as if it could see through everything. However, Zhang Yan did not avoid it and looked back at him.
After a while, Tao Zhenren retracted his gaze and laughed. "Since you have done this, I will owe you another karma."
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly. He continued, "You have done one karma and one karma. You did not suffer a loss."
When Spiritual Master Tao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Fine, this matter will be settled by Fellow Daoist, but there's no rush to make a move. I expect that the Reef Manor won't come here alone, they will definitely collude with the sects that are close to them to strengthen their momentum. It won't be too late to make a move after a few days."
Zhang Yan immediately understood. Tao Zhenren wanted to beat them at their own game and use this opportunity to eradicate all the forces in the Reef Manor.
He bowed and said, "I will do as you say."
Tao Zhenren nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Zhang, where is Tao Zhenren's Dharma Body?"
Zhang Yan reached into his sleeve and took out the ice mirror.
When Tao Zhenren saw that, he raised his hand and summoned the ice mirror into his hand. He took a look and sighed. "I have cultivated for a thousand years, but my mystical abilities are scattered in one day. It is all in vain if I do not enter the Heavenly Gate."
He flipped his hand again and kept the ice mirror somewhere. He said, "The surrounding five thousand kilometers of the sea are all under the Clear Feather Sect's boundary. There is a huge array protecting it. Fellow Daoist, you can move around freely. You will see the results in a few days."
At that moment, more than a hundred sea boats were five thousand kilometers away from the Clear Feather Sect. Black winds blew on the surface of the sea, and banners fluttered. Demonic aura filled the air. Wherever the boats passed, there was no wind or waves. It was like a flat mirror or a rock. The scene was extremely strange.
These were the eight thousand demon soldiers led by the demon general of the Reef Manor, Lu Changsu. They were the vanguard for the Clear Feather Sect.
Lu Changsu sat in the cabin. He was holding a bloody sea python with both hands and chewing it. He did not care about eating raw food at all.
He had a burly body and was about forty years old. He had broad shoulders and a thick back. His legs were as thick as pillars. He looked like a general who commanded troops in the mortal world. From his appearance, one would mistake him for a demon cultivator who cultivated the strength path.
In reality, the Reef Manor cultivated the righteous qi path. However, because the disciples of the manor were all Dragon Whales that became demons, their bodies were different from normal people. It was difficult for them to restrain themselves.
There was an old man beside him with a worried frown. He said worriedly, "Old Master, if we force our way in like this, Tao Zhenhong might fly into a rage out of humiliation. All of us will lose our lives."
Lu Changsu quickly removed the remaining two-meter-long python's body and stuffed it into his mouth before swallowing it whole. After burping, he rubbed his belly and said disapprovingly, "Steward Yao, you're overthinking it. We're not going to attack the Clear Feathers Sect. We're just going to seek justice. Why would Tao Zhenhong lower himself to make things difficult for us? Even if he really doesn't care about his reputation, there is still Daoist Master Qu. He will stand up for us. What is there to worry about? "
Although he looked rough, his mind was clear. He knew that he was only here to show off his strength. He was not in a hurry to fight the Clear Feather Sect.
Reef Manor had a legacy of ten thousand years. There were many disciples in the clan, and there were many sects in the manor. It was not easy for him to accumulate this bit of wealth. How could he bear to use it to fight?
Steward Yao still did not feel at ease. He felt that this matter was difficult to deal with. He twirled his beard and said, "What if Tao Zhenhong hands the person over? Won't we be able to stop this? If the Manor Head condemns us … "
Lu Changsu laughed loudly. "Isn't that exactly what we want? If he can't even protect his own disciple, how will Tao Daoren have the face to stand on the Eastern Sea? Who will be willing to listen to him in the future? The Manor Head will be overjoyed. Why would he blame me? Steward Yao, the older you get, the more timid you become? "
Steward Yao mumbled, "There is no harm in being careful …"
Lu Changsu looked at him in disdain. No matter what the outcome of this trip was, as long as they could make a round in front of the Clear Feather Sect and retreat in one piece, it would be considered a success.
At that time, the Clear Feather Sect's reputation would definitely plummet. If there was only the Clear Feather Sect on the Eastern Sea, it would not be affected in the slightest. But now that there were three sects vying for supremacy, it was a different story.
The Clear Feather Sect had only been established for a few decades. Other than the disciples in the sect, they still had to rely on many of the scattered sects on the Eastern Sea.
These people were already wavering and would change according to the wind. They had relied on Tao Zhenren's reputation to intimidate them. However, if this matter were to spread, with the other two sects adding fuel to the fire, the forces that the Clear Feather Sect could use would definitely be greatly reduced.
Lu Changsu actually admired Manor Head Lu Yuanxing's decisiveness. This time, he had acted decisively, and it just so happened that he had poked at the Clear Feather Sect's weak spot. If things went smoothly, they would be suppressed without a single drop of blood.
At this moment, a small demon came to report and said, "General, there is a Daoist riding a shark outside blocking the way of our ship."
Lu Changsu was startled and thought to herself, Could it be Tao Daoren's doing?
He gave a shout, and the aura of dan around him surged wildly. A wave of black smoke rolled up from the ground and rolled out, sending him out of the room.
When he was outside, he stood on the deck and looked up. He saw a Daoren with a goatee standing on the back of a ferocious shark. His figure was skinny and his eyes were bright. His sleeves were wide and hung down to his feet. He cupped his fists and said, "I, Cui Mulong, am passing by here. I heard that General Lu wants to go to Clear Feather Sect to seek justice. Coincidentally, I also have some enmity with Clear Feather Sect's Guo Lie. I am willing to go with General and boost our momentum. Is that okay?"
Lu Changsu observed his aura. He was afraid that he had not reached the second level of Core Transformation and was much weaker than himself. He could not help but look down on him. He chuckled and said with squinted eyes, "May I know which sect Fellow Daoist is from?"
Cui Mulong said, "I am just a wild Daoist. I am not as noble as Fellow Daoist. However, four hundred years ago, I was an in-name disciple of Hengshan Patriarch."
Lu Changsu was instantly shocked, and his expression became serious.
Hengshan Patriarch was an extraordinary person. There were so many powerful cultivators in the East Ocean, but no one knew where he was from.
More than a thousand years ago, this person preached Dao on the East Ocean. Half of the eighteen Demon Kings in the East Ocean had listened to his lectures.
Even Tao Zhenren's disciple, Wang Yingfang, had been under his tutelage. If this Daoist was really his disciple, he was really qualified to travel with him. He bowed sideways and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, please come in."
Cui Mulong bowed and took a step forward. There seemed to be a ferocious shadow flashing behind him. In the blink of an eye, he was on the deck.
Lu Changsu's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not show it on his face, but his heart was in turmoil. He was secretly surprised. "Why does this person's Dharma have some traces of the Devil Sect in it?"
