Ten days later, the delegation to the Water Country of the Dang Domain was ready to set off.
Including Zhang Yan, there were more than sixty people on this journey. They were led by a cultivator at the third tier of the Clear Qi stage called Wu Zhen. Everyone would ride a Feiyao Pagoda towards the Water Nation. This pagoda was much faster than ordinary flying boats. It would only take them less than a month to reach their destination.
Among the twelve alchemists sent by the Danding Courtyard, Dou Ming was one of them. Originally, he had already extricated himself from this matter, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yan would drag him back. Moreover, he didn't even have a position now, so he had to act according to Zhang Yan's will. Thus, he kept his head down and didn't say a word along the way, afraid that he would lose face in front of everyone.
Zhang Yan didn't pay attention to him, but before he left, he received a beautifully written letter with a jade pendant attached. Judging from the handwriting, this letter was from the same person who had invited him to admire the moon.
The letter said, "Because of your servant's willfulness, your servant feels very uneasy and can only offer this as a token of apology. The road ahead will be bumpy, please take care."
There was no signature at the bottom.
Zhang Yan looked at the jade pendant, and with his extensive knowledge of Daoist books, he recognized the origin of this jade at a glance. This jade was called the Moon Seizing Heart Jade, and it was used to assist in cultivation. It was said that under the bright moon, the person who wore it would be able to make the speed of the circulation of qi several times faster than usual, and it could be considered to be a treasure.
Zhang Yan wanted to ask who the woman who sent the letter was, and who wrote the letter and gave the jade pendant, and where did the word "implicate" come from?
However, the woman seemed to have already given him instructions, and didn't answer. Instead, she curtsied, turned around, and hurried away. Zhang Yan looked at her back and smiled. Since he couldn't guess the origin of this person, he didn't want to waste time thinking about it. Immortal cultivators did what they wanted, so why worry about such trivial things? When the time came, everything would naturally become clear.
He turned around, lifted the hem of his robe, and slowly stepped into the tower.
Once he arrived at the building, a strong man led him to a pre-arranged residence. After he went upstairs, he glanced around and saw a familiar figure flashing past the corner. He couldn't help but frown. That person, was undoubtedly Feng Ji!
Why was this person here?
Zhang Yan immediately felt that this matter was a little unusual.
He looked at the layout of his surroundings and found that his residence was arranged on the fourth floor. This arrangement was very subtle. He glanced around and saw that the entrances and exits to the upper and lower floors were both guarded by strong men. Moreover, their gazes would sweep over him from time to time.
When everyone went up to the tower, Wu Zhen, who was standing on the highest floor, waved the talisman in his hand. The tower shook slightly, and then flew up, steadily making its way to the Water Kingdom of the East.
Zhang Yan casually walked around and discovered that this pagoda was divided into seven floors, which could accommodate a hundred people. It was hexagonal, with vermilion pillars, round windows, golden bells hanging from the eaves, and mythological beasts sitting on them. At the top of the pagoda, there was a Qi-Gathering Copper Gourd. When it flew up, the clouds at the bottom of the pagoda would follow it, and the auspicious mist would dazzle anyone who looked at it.
But after walking around, he felt that something was not quite right. After thinking about it carefully, he finally found out what the problem was!
During this trip, he also saw many disciples of aristocratic families, but these disciples were usually accompanied by strong men and women wherever they went. This trip to the Water Kingdom of the Dang Domain would take more than a year, so it was reasonable for them to have a few strong men with them. But they didn't even bring a single woman with them. This didn't make sense.
Unless they didn't want to go very far!
Thinking about Feng Ji's appearance here, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Before he set off, he knew that someone would attack him. He thought that they would at least wait until they reached the boundary of the Water Kingdom of the Dang Domain, but now it seemed that some people didn't want him to reach there alive.
Carefully thinking about those who had entered the tower, Wu Zhen's cultivation was undoubtedly the highest, and he was the most difficult to deal with. But that didn't mean that there were other cultivators with similar cultivation, so he had to be on guard.
If they were in the sect, everyone would be restrained by the rules of the sect and various factions, so they could come up with their own schemes. But now that they were in the outside world, everything depended on strength. The strong were strong, the weak were weak. No schemes or plots were applicable here.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. He returned to his room in the tower and began to call for Luo Xiao in his mind.
With the Essence Blood Oath, even if the two were separated by thousands of miles, they could still sense each other's location. They could also sense whether the other was in danger or not. As early as ten days ago, he had already done this, but he hadn't received a response. This time, he felt his heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but rejoice, knowing that Luo Xiao was rushing over.
He put down his thoughts and decided to seize the time to meditate and cultivate. He wanted to use this time to refine a few more mouthfuls of kun spirit turbid energy so that he could protect himself.
After more than ten days, he successfully refined another mouthful of kun spirit turbid energy. At the same time, he felt that Luo Xiao was getting closer and closer.
These days, there was no movement in the tower, but he didn't let his guard down. The three magic treasures were always by his side, ready to deal with any changes that might occur at any time.
But where was he now?
He pushed open the door and walked out to take a look. However, he frowned and thought to himself, "Why does this direction look like it's heading towards the Surging Waves Lake?"
The Surging Waves Lake was one of the three lakes. The lake master, Qu Yue, was a carp spirit that had cultivated for more than a thousand years. It was said that after the three lake demons and the Dark Azure Sect had decided to stop fighting, he was the first to stop. Although he could also reach the Water Country from the demon's territory, the distance was actually not shortened. Moreover, this was a provocation.
No!
Looking at the sudden appearance of a few more strong men today, their expressions were faintly unfriendly. Zhang Yan's gaze sharpened. He instinctively felt a deep sense of danger coming towards him. Most likely, the moment before he reached the Surging Waves Lake would be the time for the other party to choose to make a move!
He sneered, his eyes overflowing with killing intent. He gripped the Ruyi Divine Shuttle in his sleeve. Although Luo Xiao hadn't arrived yet, instead of waiting, he might as well take the initiative to attack and catch the other party off guard!
At this moment, a thousand miles away from the Surging Waves Lake, there was a flying palace that was a few miles wide on top of the clouds.
A person sat on a high platform in the middle of the palace. He had a large nose and a wide forehead. His eyes were like an eagle's, and his chin was as wide as a pillar. He wore a purple gold crown with long tassels hanging down from his shoulders. He wore the Mystic Dragon Golden Armor, a roc feather cloak, and a pair of black cloud boots with the head of a beast. His body was muscular and muscular, twice the size of a normal person.
This person was the eldest direct descendant of the Qin Yang Su Family, Su Yihong.
At this moment, his bright eyes looked towards the north. He saw dozens of lights flying towards him and landing on the floating stairs in front of the flying palace. These dozens of people were all at the Mystic Light Realm, and the person at the front was even at the third level of the Mystic Light Realm. This person walked out of the crowd and cupped his hands, "He Guo greets Senior Martial Brother Su."
Su Yihong said in a deep voice, "How is the situation?"
He Guo laughed loudly and said, "Uncle Qu, that old carp, is still in the dark and doesn't know anything. This is perfect for us to make a move."
"Good!" Su Yihong slammed the table and stood up. His eyes turned and swept across the crowd. He said, "Today's matter concerns our plan for the next hundred years. Is there anyone among you who wants to back out?"
His eyes were filled with power, and the expressions of these dozens of cultivators became cold. He Guo took the lead, and everyone bowed and said, "We will follow Senior Martial Brother's orders."
Su Yihong nodded in satisfaction. He slowly sat down and gripped the roaring lion head on the armrest. He said, "Back then, a few elders of the sect promised me that as long as I conquered the Shen Zi Stream, they would give this place to me and allow me to set up a faction outside of the sect. I have been fighting outside for many years, and I have already reached the gates of Old Carp's Nine Tune Stream Palace. I am only one step away from fulfilling my wish, but someone just had to want to make peace with the Water Nation at this time. This time, I will not let them get what they want!"
He Guo said loudly, "Senior Martial Brother, you only need to tell us what to do. We are all of one mind."
Su Yihong said, "It has been twelve days since Erlang left on the Feiyao Pagoda. Calculating the time, there is at most a day's journey from here. Once Erlang takes down that direct disciple called Zhang Yan and takes his head, we can use the death of the direct disciple as an excuse to attack Nine Tune Stream Palace, flatten the Shen Zi Stream Palace in one fell swoop, and kill Old Carp. After we occupy this underwater residence, let's see if the demonic fish Qu Yue can still endure it. "
Someone said, "I have heard of this Zhang Yan before. Last time, he was the one who accidentally killed Erlang's spirit pet and captured quite a number of his martial brothers. He made Erlang lose a lot of face. This time, we can take revenge on him."
Su Yihong nodded and turned to look at a young cultivator behind He Guo. He said, "He Fang, personally go and receive Erlang. For the sake of safety, after taking down Zhang Yan, kill all the people accompanying him. If Erlang tries to stop you, just say that it is my order."
He threw down another item and said, "I will give you another token talisman. It can capture this person's Primordial Spirit. When the time comes, find a spirit beast and erase its Primordial Spirit to exchange for his. Then, give it to Erlang and let him be an animal forever."
When he said that, everyone in the surroundings broke out in a cold sweat and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
He Fang, however, was very excited. He went forward to take the token talisman and patted his chest, saying, "Senior Martial Brother, don't worry. Wait for a moment, I will return with Erlang and Zhang Yan's heads."
He turned around and walked down the hall. Just as he was about to fly out, he felt his arm being pulled by someone. He turned around and saw that it was his brother, He Guo, who had chased after him. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Big Brother, what's the matter?"
He Guo said with concern, "I heard that Zhang Yan is very cunning and good at using schemes. Second Brother, you have to be careful when you go. You can't be careless. You have to know that it is a small matter if you make a mistake, but you can't ruin Senior Martial Brother Su's big plan."
He Fang was instantly dissatisfied and said, "Big Brother, don't underestimate me. That Zhang Yan doesn't even have the cultivation of the Clear Qi Realm. I am a cultivator of the second level of the Mystic Light Realm, why should I be afraid of him?" After he finished speaking, he swung his arm away and was about to turn around to leave. However, He Guo grabbed him tightly and shoved something into his hand. "Take this. This is the Purple Heart Stopping Hammer that Senior Martial Brother Su gave me last time. Take it and use it."
He Fang rejected it and thought, Big Brother is looking down on me too much.
However, He Guo insisted, so he had no choice but to accept it. He muttered a few words and walked to the top of the stairs. A profound light appeared under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, a scarlet light flew into the sky.
