After Mu Bingxin's voice traveled into the distance, she saw a line of white waves moving from the east to the west in the sky. The roar of the tides was like the charge of an army, crashing into the water and crashing into the waves.
The disciples of Pengyuan Sect were originally watching from afar and only exclaimed a few times. However, when they got closer and saw the scene of the sea and the sky moving together, their faces all paled and their bodies trembled.
Mu Bingxin opened her eyes wide and looked over. She saw three Taoists appear in front of her. The young Taoist was handsome and tall. He wore a black Taoist robe and was standing on the back of a strange dragon-headed fish with his hands behind his back. The person on the left had a pale complexion and was unremarkable. The one on the right seemed to be an old man. However, his entire body was wrapped in a wisp of yellow smoke, making it impossible to see his face.
There was a cloud hovering above the three of them. It was obvious that what the letter said was true. All of them were Yuanying cultivators. The strange dragon-headed fish below had golden scales all over its body. Its Spiritual Qi was surging like the tide, as if it was one with the heavens and earth. It actually gave her a great deal of pressure.
Pengyuan Sect was only a second-rate sect in Donghua Continent. When it was at its peak, there were only two Yuanying cultivators in the entire sect. However, at this moment, three Yuanying Zhenrens stood together, which shocked her greatly. She didn't dare to put on any airs. She stepped forward and bowed, saying, "May I know how to address you Zhenrens?"
Zhang Yan glanced at her, then cupped his fist to return the greeting while sitting on the dragon carp's back. He said, "Reverend Mu is too polite. I'm Zhang Yan of Wu Cang, and the two Fellow Daoists behind me are the guest elders of my residence."
When Mu Bingxin heard the two words Zhang Yan, her eyes couldn't help but show surprise. She said seriously, "So it is Zhenren Zhang. I have long heard of your great name."
Pengyuan Sect was adjacent to the East Sea, so she had heard a lot about the affairs of the sea.
A few days ago, it was said that the destruction of the Lu family of the Wall Reef Prefecture was done by Zhang Yan. She didn't expect to see it today.
Pengyuan Sect had dealings with many unorthodox sects and aristocratic families in the Eastern Sea. When she heard that several Yuanying cultivators were coming over from the sea, because she didn't know their purpose, she was asked by many of her fellow Daoists to come and ask them why they were here. At this moment, he had another idea in his mind and said, "The few Zhenrens are passing by our mountain gate. Since we are all from the Xuanmen sect, if we turn a blind eye, I'm afraid our fellow daoists will scold our Pengyuan sect for not understanding etiquette. I hope that the few of you will allow me to host a banquet and offer a toast to express my sincerity."
She spoke politely. Zhang Yan pondered for a while. He had not returned to Dong Hua for a long time. He didn't know what the current situation was, so there was no harm in agreeing. He could also find out some information, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll be shameless and disturb you."
Mu Bingxin revealed a trace of joy. She stepped sideways and said, "Fellow Daoists, please move."
Her big boat was luxuriously decorated. There was a five-story pavilion on the boat, and it was renovated magnificently. The main door opened.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly at her and got down from the back of the dragon whale. Just as he was about to walk to the main hall on the boat, he heard a timid voice from among the disciples of Pengyuan sect. "Zhenren Zhang …"
Zhang Yan tilted his head and saw a beautiful woman with a graceful figure standing among the crowd. That face was also a little familiar. After thinking for a while, he recognized her and said with a smile, "So it's Fellow Daoist Dan Huizhen. It's been more than a hundred years since we last met, right? I didn't expect to meet you here."
Dan Huizhen had been saved by Zhang Yan back then. Just Now, she had the courage to come up and greet him.
However, after all, it had been a hundred years. However, Zhang Yan was already Yuanying Zhenren now, so he wasn't sure if the other party still recognized him. When he heard this, he was relieved and smiled like a flower.
Mu Bingxin said in surprise, "Zhenren Zhang and Martial Nephew Dan are old acquaintances?"
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "In the past, when I went to the sea to look for medicine, I crossed the sea with Lady Shan. So I recognized her. "
Mu Bingxin's expression changed slightly. She didn't ask anymore and came to the front of the hall. With a wave of her hand, two maids lifted the curtain in front of the hall and sent the three of them into the hall.
The moment Zhang Yan stepped in, he only felt a dazzling light in front of him. It was even brighter than the outside. He looked around and saw that the four walls were inlaid with countless bright pearls. There were also more than a hundred bronze mirrors with Kui patterns placed on the roof. The mirrors faced inward and shone straight down. They landed on the polished bricks under his feet, causing rays of light to form, which was why it was like this.
He and Priest Xu did not feel anything, but Zhang Boyan let out a 'humph'. The yellow smoke on his body surged violently, pushing away all the splendor. He said in a strange voice, "Mu Zhenren, you have a lot of tricks in this hall."
These bronze mirrors were a set of magic weapons that had the ability to destroy evil. If it wasn't for his profound cultivation, he would have suffered a loss.
Mu Bingxin could see that Zhang Boyan seemed to have learned the methods of the Devil's Doctrine, but it was common for Xuanmen's disciples to subdue a few people from the evil path for their own use. Therefore, she didn't suspect anything. She just laughed at herself and said, "I've made a fool of myself. Recently, the disciples of the Devil's Doctrine have become more and more rampant. Because I didn't set up any restrictive formations on this boat, I made this arrangement to prevent them from sneaking in."
Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Now there are also forces of the Devil's Doctrine at the edge of the East Sea?"
Mu Bingxin let out a sigh and told her the reason for her visit.
It turned out that in the past few decades, the Donghua Continent had been plagued by natural disasters and plagues. Demons and demons were everywhere. The Wei and Liang Kingdoms were at war. In addition to the invasion of foreign tribes, the dynasty that had been hundreds of years was already in a precarious situation. It wouldn't be long before it fell apart.
In troubled times, human life was like grass. There were many disciples of the Devil's Doctrine who came out to capture people to refine spells and even establish their own sects. The East Sea was originally a vassal state of the Wei Kingdom. Under the rule of the Hanhai Kingdom, it was also unavoidable.
However, it was different from the large Xuanmen sects. Most of the cultivators here were high-ranking officials of the Hanhai Kingdom. They had deep connections with each other, so they naturally wouldn't sit idly by and watch. Thus, they clashed with the disciples of the Devil's Doctrine.
Especially in the past few years, the two sides had gradually become angry. Even the Pengyuan Sect had suffered serious losses of disciples and was gradually on the verge of collapse.
Zhang Yan didn't want the Donghua Continent to be in such chaos after he left for more than 30 years. He said, "I heard that your sect has an extraordinary relationship with Taihao School. Why didn't you ask Taihao School for help?"
Mu Bingxin snorted and said, "There are less than five years left for the sword competition between the 16 sects. Why would Taihao School care about this place?"
Zhang Yan's gaze turned to her face. Seeing that her expression was full of resentment, he knew that there was more to it. However, he had no intention of knowing, so he didn't pursue the matter.
Mu Bingxin invited Zhang Yan and the other two to sit down. After a few words, she found out that Zhang Yan had returned from overseas and was about to return to the sect.
Because she had other thoughts in her mind, she tried to persuade him to stay.
Zhang Yan had nothing to do, and he heard from her words that she seemed to have the intention of seeking refuge with Qincang School. After thinking about it, he agreed to go to Pengyuan Sect for a few days.
After the banquet ended, Mu Bingxin returned to the cabin, sat on the jade couch, and began to ponder.
Now that the Devil's Calamity was gradually rising, Pengyuan Sect only had one Yuanying Zhenren. In the conflict with the many disciples of the Devil's Doctrine, it was already difficult for her to stand alone.
Originally, she wanted to ask Taihao School for help, but Pengyuan Sect had a magic treasure called the "Heavenly Palace". It had always been something that Taihao School wanted to obtain. In the past, it was not easy to make a move on it openly, but this time, she proposed to give it to them as a gift before they were willing to help.
This was a move to take advantage of the situation. Although the Sect Leader of Pengyuan Sect was a woman, she had a strong temper and refused to comply. As a result, the situation became more and more difficult.
On the other hand, many sects in the north, such as Blue Feather, Linqing, and Beichen sects, had received Huo Xuan's strong support and had the backing of a colossus like Qincang School. Their strength did not decrease but increased instead.
She thought that if she could get the help of Qincang School, she might be able to tide over this crisis.
Originally, Pengyuan Sect and Qincang School did not have any relationship, so even if she went over, they might not even care about her.
However, Zhang Yan's arrival this time was an opportunity. Seeing that Dan Huizhen and Zhang Yan were old friends, she thought of an idea. If she could get close to Zhang Yan's disciples or juniors, then things would be much more promising.
Thinking up to here, she ordered the maidservant beside her, "Go find Tong Ao."
The maidservant bowed and left to carry out the order.
Not long after, a clever-looking child with delicate features walked in.
He looked young, but his expression revealed a cynical attitude. Although his cultivation was not high and was only at the Mystic Light Realm, he did not have any stage fright when he saw Daoist Mu. He cupped his hands and said, "This lowly one greets Daoist."
Mu Bingxin said in a deep voice, "Tong Ao, I heard that your ears and eyes have always been well-informed, and you have heard all the secrets of various sects. You have the good name of the Six-Eared Golden Child. I have come to ask you something, and if you tell me the truth, there will naturally be benefits for you."
Tong Ao chuckled and said, "Daoist, feel free to ask. Even if it will cost my life, as long as the benefits are enough, I will tell you everything I know."
Mu Bingxin raised her slender hand and pointed outside. She said, "Do you know how many disciples Zhang Yan has under him?"
Tong Ao straightened his body and smiled. "Daoist, you have asked the right person. This lowly one just happens to know about this. This Daoist Zhang has a total of six disciples."
Mu Bingxin nodded and said, "How are their cultivation levels? Are there any outstanding geniuses? "
Tong Ao thought for a moment and said, "If we are talking about cultivation, then Daoist Zhang's eldest disciple, Liu Yanyi, is the highest. It is rumored that not only is her talent extremely high, but she is also proficient in the art of slaying enemies with flying swords like her master. She is also one of the three disciples of Qincang School who have reached the second grade in the past hundred years."
Mu Bingxin couldn't help but be surprised. She originally thought that although Zhang Yan's cultivation was extremely high, it had only been a short time since he entered the Dao, so the cultivation of his disciples wouldn't be that high. She didn't think that his first disciple would also be so amazing. Her evaluation of Zhang Yan in her heart couldn't help but rise to another level.
She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Continue."
Tong Ao continued, "Daoist Zhang's second disciple is called Tian Kun. However, he has an indifferent personality and rarely shows himself. He also doesn't have any reputation. As for his specific cultivation level, this lowly one doesn't know."
Mu Bingxin's expression changed and she hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Daoist Zhang's second disciple has ever been married?"
Tong Ao was a smart person and could guess Mu Bingxin's intentions from her tone. His eyes turned and he said playfully, "That Tian Kun and Daoist Zhang's fourth disciple, Wang Caiting, have already become dao companions. There is no chance for others."
Mu Bingxin unconsciously frowned. She only asked a few more questions before her eyes lit up and she said with joy, "You are saying that Daoist Zhang's fifth disciple, Jiang Zheng, is also at the Mystic Light Realm?"
Tong Ao smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that he was originally an in-name disciple of Daoist Zhang. Later, seeing that he was diligent in his cultivation, he was accepted into the sect."
Mu Bingxin said in her heart, "This is a suitable person."
As she was thinking, a servant girl rushed into the room. Wan Fu said, "Daoist, Taihao School's Daoist He has arrived on the boat and is heading here."
