PS: Today's first update.
After Zhang Yan greeted them, the people on the shore all had different expressions on their faces. Huo Xuan walked out from the crowd, his gaze focused on Zhang Yan, and he solemnly saluted, "Greetings, Junior Brother Zhang."
Luo Qingyu looked at the Dragon Carp and looked deeply at Zhang Yan. He hesitated for a moment before he walked up and gave a Dao salute.
Zhong Muqing took a deep breath and took a step forward. He returned the salute without saying a word.
Regardless of their previous friendship, since they were all Perfected Yuanying, they could not be rude.
On the Huan River Continent, the three Perfected Yuanying returned the salute to Zhang Yan at the same time.
The crowd had yet to recover from the shock of Zhang Yan coming on the Dragon Carp. At this moment, when they saw the scene in front of them, some of them had already guessed something. However, this conclusion was too unbelievable, and they did not dare to believe it at the moment.
After the thousands of disciples outside the Huan River Continent knew the identity of the person who came, they were instantly excited. They were inexplicably excited and kept making noise.
They had heard many rumors about Zhang Yan. Now that they had finally seen his face, they could not help but be excited, especially since Zhang Yan's appearance was extraordinary. When he stood on the Dragon Carp's back, the sleeves of his black robe fluttered in the wind, and he looked like a real immortal.
Among the top ten disciples in the sect, only Zhang Yan was not a disciple of the Perfected Grotto-heaven, nor was he from any aristocratic family. This made the junior disciples see some hope, as if they could walk on the path to heaven like him in the future.
Huo Xuan was extremely polite and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, Just now, I was still thinking. Could it be that you were too diligent and forgot the time of the banquet?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother Huo invited me, how can I not come?"
Huo Xuan smiled and nodded. He took a step forward and made an inviting gesture, saying, "Junior Brother, please come in."
Zhang Yan tiptoed and floated down from the Dragon Carp's back. He followed Huo Xuan into the hall.
Huo Xuan thought to himself as he walked, 'Eldest Senior Brother actually lent this Dragon Carp to Junior Brother Zhang, what is his intention behind this?'
He had never seen the Dragon Carp in the Xuanshui True Palace. He only thought that Qi Yuntian had lent it to Zhang Yan, but he never thought that Zhang Yan had obtained it from somewhere else. He also did not think that Zhang Yan had the ability to subdue it. He was only thinking about who should he choose for the duel. Were there any changes in the sect?
Not to mention him, most of the people here also thought so. At this moment, they were all pondering over the deeper meaning of this and were momentarily silent.
Zhong Muqing's eyes flashed. He took a few steps back and looked to the side. Coincidentally, the Pingdu Sect Elder with the surname Hua also looked over. He even smiled and nodded at him. Zhong Muqing was instantly relieved.
Because of this, everyone had their own thoughts. Thus, no one noticed the exchange between the two of them.
Elder Hu didn't recognize Zhang Yan, so he was just standing among the crowd and watching. When he stood among the crowd and watched, he felt that this person's appearance seemed to be different from the rumored Qi Yuntian. When he introduced himself, he was shocked. 'This person is Zhang Yan? How can he have Yuanying cultivation? '
Thinking of the promise he made to Chen Qiaoling, he instantly hesitated. It was not a big deal to deal with a Core Formation disciple, but it was different for Perfected Yuanying.
Before he came to Qincang School. He had already found out that among the top ten disciples, only Huo Xuan, Zhong Muqing, and Luo Qingyu had reached the Nascent Soul stage and could attend the sword duel. But now, Zhang Yan suddenly appeared, and he even came riding Qi Yuntian's mount. There was more to this than meets the eye.
If it was involved in the internal conflict of Qincang School, it would not be good for him to lose. It would not be good for him to win either.
He even faintly suspected that Chen Qiaoling already knew about this and secretly set a trap for him.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he immediately had an idea. He decided to simply ignore this matter to avoid getting into trouble. After the banquet. He could just take the Yang Talisman and leave. What could Chen Qiaoling do to him?
Not long after, everyone arrived at the hall. Huo Xuan suddenly realized that with Zhang Yan's current cultivation, it would be inappropriate to let him sit on the lower steps. Although it was easy to move another seat up, it was not that simple.
Everyone, including him, who was sitting on that seat, was going to the sword duel. Moreover, there were only three of them. If he hastily invited Zhang Yan to sit on that seat in front of the three elders of Pingdu Sect, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Zhang Yan seemed to see that he was in a difficult position. He smiled faintly and sat down on the seat reserved for his family.
Huo Xuan was slightly relieved and sighed. "Junior Brother, I have wronged you."
He cupped his hands and returned to the main seat.
Seeing that he was seated, everyone also returned to their seats.
However, Madam Chen felt that Huo Xuan was being too courteous to Zhang Yan. She was a little dissatisfied. "Master, you are the Seat Leader of the Ten Disciples. Why are you so polite to Zhang Yan?"
Huo Xuan frowned and said in a low voice, "I have my reasons. Madam, don't say anymore."
Madam Chen looked at him in shock. Huo Xuan was usually obedient to her. Why would he speak to her in such a tone?
She opened her red lips and wanted to say something. However, it was not good to lose her temper during the banquet. Her expression changed a few times, but she finally held it in.
At that moment, Chen Qiaoling was mixed in with the thousands of disciples. Although she was not qualified to enter the hall, she had been watching from the outside.
Originally, she thought that Zhang Yan did not show up and was inevitably disappointed. However, now that he had arrived, the hatred in her eyes intensified. How could she bear it? She could not wait for Elder Hu to make a move.
However, after watching for a while, she did not see any movement. She frowned and sneered. She took out a talisman shell. There was only a thin layer of light on the talisman shell. It was like the hazy moonlight. She pinched a corner of the talisman shell and muttered something.
At that moment, Elder Hu suddenly felt some movement in his sleeve. After checking, he found that there was something wrong with the Yang Talisman. It kept emitting white light as if it was going to fly away.
He was shocked and hurriedly circulated his mana to try to suppress it.
However, he soon found that no matter how he tried to calm it down, the talisman shell did not listen to him. It was still throbbing. After thinking about it carefully, he unconsciously realized and cursed, "It must be that lowly servant's trick!"
At that time, Chen Qiaoling was willing to take out the Yin Yang Talisman shell so easily not because she had been captured, but because she had done it on purpose.
Even though the Yin Yang Talisman Shell could be used separately, the disciples of the Chen Clan had a method to control it. Even if one of them fell into the hands of another, they only had to use a technique to easily take it back.
She was using this to remind Elder Hu that if he was unwilling to make a move against Zhang Yan, then don't even think of taking it for free!
Elder Hu thought that he had gained an advantage, yet he never expected that Chen Qiaoling would make a fool out of him. He couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart. Right when he was hesitating whether he should make a move or not, he didn't notice that his disciple, Ding Wei, was staring at Zhang Yan and seemed to be eager to make a move.
Ding Wei was stunned by the monstrous might of the Dragonwhale earlier and hadn't recovered from his shock for a long time. When he found out that the person before him was Zhang Yan, he couldn't help but have other thoughts.
This Zhang Yan sure is ostentatious. But no matter how formidable that Dragon Carp is, he borrowed it from someone else and doesn't possess his own ability. Allow me to test him and see if he's as formidable as the rumors say.
Just Now, even though he was restrained by Huang Fuzhou, he only felt that he'd been careless for a moment, and he didn't really think that he'd lost.
But he'd lost face in the end, so at this moment, he urgently wanted to get it back from Zhang Yan.
Moreover, he was already within the hall now, and the Dragon Carp outside the door was unable to exert its might. So he felt extremely confident in his ability, so he shouted right away and cupped his hands. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'm Ding Wei. I've heard of your great name for a long time, and I've specially come to seek your guidance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he impatiently attacked. He'd learned the lesson Just Now, and he'd revealed his true ability as soon as he attacked.
With a whistling sound, a ferocious green Flood Dragon that was completely green flew out from the sword light. It shook its long and slender body and went straight for Zhang Yan.
Elder Hu didn't expect his disciple to have so many devious thoughts. When he realized that something was wrong, it was already too late for him to stop it. His expression changed, and he said, "Disciple, you can't!"
Zhang Yan saw the Flood Dragon coming over from the corner of his eye, but his expression didn't change. He sat still, and a gust of black strong wind naturally swirled around his body. With a gentle twist, the Flood Dragon that was charging at him didn't even have the slightest bit of resistance. It was instantly torn into pieces, and with a cry, it turned into spots of green light and dissipated.
Ding Wei was stunned for a moment before he suddenly let out a loud cry. He spat out blood and fell to the ground. This Flood Dragon's soul essence was refined using his heart's blood, and now that it was broken, he was severely injured. However, his eyes were filled with confusion, and he didn't know how the method he was so proud of was broken so easily.
Zhang Yan said indifferently, "Where did this junior come from? Why doesn't he know the rules?"
Elder Hu's expression was ugly. He said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're Yuanying Zhenren. Why bother with a junior disciple?"
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked, and all eyes were focused on Zhang Yan.
Yuanying Zhenren?
He cultivated for a hundred years, but he had already achieved Yuanying. What kind of extraordinary talent was this?
Although they had already guessed it, when Elder Hu really pointed it out, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhang Yan looked at Elder Hu calmly and said, "Who is this fellow Daoist?"
Elder Hu said in a deep voice, "I'm Hu Yunzhong from Pingdu Sect. The person that you injured is my disciple."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Hu. Since you're an outstanding disciple? You need to discipline him well. "
Elder Hu exhaled, and his eyes were filled with anger. He laughed coldly and said, "Zhenren Zhang, I heard that you've achieved first-grade Dan and that your cultivation technique is profound. I'd like to learn from you!"
He had already made up his mind. For the sake of the Yin Yang Talisman Shell, he had to make a move tonight. Since he injured his disciple, he could use this as an excuse. He believed that no one would blame him afterward.
As expected, as soon as he said that, the Yang Talisman immediately stopped moving. He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Zhang Yan laughed heartily and said, "I also have the intention to join in this banquet. Since Elder Hu is interested, I dare not entertain you."
Pingdu Sect's Elder Hua and the other Elder Yu exchanged glances. Suddenly, they said, "Wait."
Elder Hu felt slightly unhappy. Could it be that these two fellow disciples were going to stop him? He calmed his breathing slightly and said, "Senior Brother, what advice do you have for me?"
Elder Hua had a lean face and a good demeanor. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother Hu, if we Yuanying cultivators were to fight, I'm afraid this hall wouldn't be able to withstand it. Since you can't display your skills, why don't you go outside and learn from each other? What do you think?"
Elder Hu was stunned. Then, a hint of wild joy appeared in his eyes. He said, "That's right, Senior Brother. That's how it should be, how it should be!"
