Elder Shen returned to the peak with a lonely expression. He saluted the middle-aged cultivator who escorted him and pushed away the boy who came to support him. Without saying a word, he hid in the temple that had already collapsed.
The middle-aged cultivator looked at him and felt sorry for him.
He looked around. The peak was lifeless. Because no one had taken care of it for hundreds of years, it was overgrown with weeds and debris. It was a scene of desolation.
He sighed. If Senior Brother Ying Ya hadn't ordered him to keep an eye on Elder Shen and return only after obtaining the decree, he wouldn't have stayed here for even a moment longer.
He looked at the sky again. Since the sword competition had not yet begun, it was boring to stay here. He found a place to meditate by himself.
Elder Shen stumbled as he walked. His disciple Jiang Yue, who had followed him to the spell assembly, happened to walk out from inside. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, what's wrong with you?" She hurried over to support him.
Elder Shen shook his head and waved his sleeves, urging her to go inside.
Jiang Yue's eyes were full of worry as she helped him inside.
However, after entering the room, Elder Shen slowly straightened his bent back and said in an extremely calm voice, "Disciple, I remember that you once saw Zhang Yan, Zhenren Zhang, on the Yincang Sect's Cloud Sweeping Peak?"
Jiang Yue was surprised to find that her master had swept away the dejected and dejected look he had Just Now. His eyes were shining again, and there was even a hint of cunning in them.
She hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Yes, disciple met Zhang Yan not only at the Etching Text Conference, but also at the Shui Country of the Yang Region."
There was one more thing she didn't say. Shen Yuefeng's whereabouts were unknown because he went to kill Zhang Yan.
Elder Shen nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "Listen, I need you to do something. Don't let others find out."
Using telepathy, he whispered a few words into Jiang Yue's ears and finally said, "Pass my words to Zhang Zhenren later, no matter what he plans to do, you must report back to me truthfully."
Jiang Qi was a little troubled. "The Sword Competition is just around the corner. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. Besides, there's still that person watching outside. I'm afraid I'll be suspected if I go out."
"What's so difficult about that?" Elder Shen took out two pieces of Talisman from his sleeves and placed them in Jiang Yue's palm. He pointed at one of them and said, "This piece was left behind by Patriarch Shen Chong in the past. Even though it doesn't have any supernatural powers, it can summon the wind and rain and gather lightning. If you take it and use it, no one will be able to discover it. Even if you want to use your mana to disperse it, it won't be possible. In this way, the disciples of the Celestial Sect will definitely suspect that the Devil Sect is playing tricks, and the disciples of the Devil Sect will also suspect that it is the doing of the people of the Celestial Sect. They will definitely not easily fight. "
He then pointed at the other piece of Talisman and said, "The weather has changed. Take this Invisibility Talisman and go to Zhang Zhenren's place. Remember, this storm will only last for an hour at most. You need to leave early and return early to prevent outsiders from finding out."
Jiang Yue's eyes widened as she said, "This disciple has served Master for a hundred years. How come I've never seen Master use these Talisman?"
Elder Shen chuckled and said, "My Guangyuan Sect was a big Celestial Sect in the past. In any case, we do have some assets. It's just that outsiders don't know about it. Even your Sect Leader Senior Brother might not know about some things."
Jiang Qi's eyes revealed a look of determination as he said, "Master, this disciple will definitely not let you down."
She used the tip of her finger to draw a line on the Talisman and sent it up into the sky. The talisman turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the clouds without a sound.
After a full quarter of an hour, just when the two of them were beginning to suspect that the talisman was useless, dark clouds suddenly gathered. Thunder and lightning crackled, and the sky darkened. A fierce wind sprang up, and in the space of a few breaths, a torrential downpour began.
Elder Shen immediately relaxed. Although Ancestor Shen Chong's cultivation was extremely high, he did not know if this Talisman could still be used after so many years.
He did not think that this senior's power was so high that it was beyond his imagination. Although this talisman had been around for thousands of years, after it was used, it could still attract lightning and summon wind and rain.
He tilted his head to listen to the outside and said in a low voice, "Disciple, go ahead. Be careful on the way."
Jiang Yue replied crisply and used the Invisibility Talisman. Her figure disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Elder Shen squinted his eyes and looked outside. He had been an elder in Guangyuan Sect for hundreds of years and struggled in the cracks for such a long time. How could he not know how Xuanmen operated?
Just Now on Qingdan Peak, it was just a half-real, half-fake act. However, the hatred in it was indeed his true feelings. Because of that, he managed to fool everyone on the seats.
He had already made arrangements in secret. He was certain that other than the 16 sects, there would definitely be many other sects coveting the essence of Jun Yang in the sky. These people did not have the imperial edict, so he could use this opportunity to win them over.
He did not need to achieve the position of Grotto-Heaven. He only needed to find the opportunity to break through the third level of Yuanying, go back to see the secret left behind by the Ancestor and find the lost techniques. Then, Guangyuan Sect would be able to rise again.
On Qingdan Peak, the disciples of the various sects did not disperse. They were still discussing how to deal with the disciples of the Devil Sect. However, this sudden storm made them feel a little strange.
Ying Ya Daoren said in surprise, "Dragon's fate, why is there a storm?"
He pinched his fingers and calculated, but he could not find any clues.
Someone said suspiciously, "Could it be the doing of the Devil Sect?
Ying Ya Daoren thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if it's them or not! There's nothing wrong with dispersing this storm. It's just a pity that Daoren did not bring his instrument with him. "
At this moment, a handsome young man stood out and said, "Elder Ying, it's not difficult. Let me go up and dispel it."
Everyone looked at him. This person was the disciple of Anatta Sect, Chen Qingping, who came for the sword battle. The disciples of this sect were best at sealing demons and casting seals to dispel evil.
Ying Ya Daoren said cheerfully, "Alright, with Daoist Chen's help, this should be a piece of cake."
Chen Qingping cupped his hands and bowed. The High Cloud above his head shook. He rode the High Wind confidently and went above the clouds.
However, after a while, the storm did not show any signs of stopping.
After a while, Chen Qingping walked in from outside and said in frustration, "The person who cast this spell is much stronger than me. Forgive me for not being able to help."
Zhou Huang snorted. He waved his sleeve and took out a spell. Then, he hit a ray of light on it. This ray of light shot up to the sky and lit up the peak of the mountain. The mountains were as bright as day. The light covered the ground and even the thousands of cultivators by the river bank were startled.
However, even with such a powerful Dao technique, it still could not dispel the storm. Zhou Huang was stunned.
Ying Ya Daoren saw that Zhou Huang also could not do anything and was surprised. He stroked his beard and said, "Don't act rashly. Let's wait and see."
They were very cautious. The disciples of the Devil Sect were also very cautious. They were afraid that this storm was caused by the disciples of Xuanmen, so they sat still.
Feng Hai Yang looked at the sky quietly. He seemed to be lost in thought. Suddenly, he whispered, "This is not something that can be done by humans."
Two hours passed quickly. Jiang Yue returned to the peak of the Guangyuan Sect.
After entering the inner room, she removed the Invisibility Talisman and bowed to Elder Shen, "Master, I'm back."
Elder Shen looked at her up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, he felt relieved and asked, "How was the trip?"
Jiang Yue shook her head.
Elder Shen was a little surprised. He scratched his beard and frowned. He thought to himself, This shouldn't be the case. From what I saw, Zhenren Zhang is obviously a person who pursues Dao wholeheartedly. He is not a person who is afraid of danger. He has no reason to reject what I said.
He thought about it a few times but still could not figure out what the problem was.
However, he was not discouraged. If this path could not be taken, he would just have to change to another path. It was just a pity that the two Talisman were dead Just Now.
As he was thinking, a ray of light suddenly flashed past. A handsome Daoist in his thirties appeared silently in front of him. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Shen."
Elder Shen was not flustered by the sudden appearance of a person. He stood up calmly and returned the bow. He said, "Fellow Daoist, are you a disciple of Zhenren Zhang?"
Daoist Xu nodded to himself. This Elder Shen had some tricks up his sleeve. No wonder he could deceive everyone on Qingdan Peak.
He took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it over. He said, "Zhenren Zhang ordered me to come. If Elder Shen is willing to make an oath, he can lend a hand."
Elder Shen took the talisman without hesitation. He tore half of it and bit his fingertip. After making an oath with his blood, he swallowed it and returned the other half to Daoist Xu. He smiled and said, "With Zhenren Zhang's help, Daoren can be at ease."
At the foothills of Chengyuan Gorge, the Corpse Cult's Evil Lady held an incense burner with green smoke in her hand. A dense mist spread out and rose into the air. It curled up like a canopy and blocked the torrential rain and strong winds from the sky.
Beside her was a girl in a hibiscus gown. Her expression was cold and indifferent. This was her fellow disciple, Ding Yu. This time, she came at her invitation to think of a way to get a share of the East Hua Continent's Sword Duel Assembly.
Wu Huanchen looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "This rain came at the right time. I think it will continue for another two hours. I don't know who did this, but it gave us a lot of time."
Lady Qi asked, "Hall Master Wu, when will your two close friends arrive?"
Wu Huanchen turned around and glanced at Ding Yu first. Although Lady Qi claimed to be her fellow disciple, there was something about this girl that he could not see through, which made him a little fearful. Thus, he took a step to the side and said, "I have already said that the two of them are forging a defensive treasure. This matter concerns everyone's lives, so we cannot be careless. Therefore, they will need to come a little later. When the time comes, with your Corpse Cult and my Wudang Spiritual Hall joining hands, I think it will not be difficult to seize a talisman."
Lady Qi said indifferently, "There might not be many who will do it. The East Hua Continent, be it the Xuanmen or the demonic sects, their strength cannot be underestimated. In my opinion, the remaining two sects can be considered …"
