PS: There is still one more update today, but it will be delayed until midnight.
A ray of clear light landed on the mountain peak where the Heaven Mending Pavilion resided. Ying Ya Daoren shook his sleeves, and walked out of the light with a calm face.
On the spell altar, the elder from before saw him return not long after he left. His expression did not look too good, so he could not help but be astonished. He furrowed his brows and said, "Junior, what's wrong? Is Zhang Yan not willing to return the talisman?"
Ying Ya Daoren let out a sigh, and with a bitter smile, he explained the whole story in detail. After the elder heard it, he immediately became furious, and said, "Guangyuan Sect is just a small sect, how dare they do this? Is he not afraid of implicating the sect? "
Previously, when he saw Elder Shen admit defeat, he felt disdain in his heart. However, he never would have thought that this person actually dared to use other methods in the dark, and secretly gave the talisman to Zhang Yan. His heart immediately gave birth to a feeling of humiliation, as if he had been tricked.
Ying Ya Daoren shook his head, and said, "Shen Yinfeng must have received some kind of promise from Spiritual Master Zhang. That's why he dared to be so unbridled."
That elder immediately choked. Not to mention Zhang Yan, Just Now, he had consecutively killed three people, and displayed his incomparably tyrannical sword techniques. Just his status as one of the top ten disciples of Qincang School was enough to make them not dare to act blindly without thinking.
After all, they used their power to oppress others in an extremely rough manner. If this method no longer posed a threat, then they naturally would not be able to do anything.
If the Guangyuan Sect was able to rely on Qincang School, they only needed to close their sect gate, and activate their great formation. No one would be able to do anything to them.
That elder's brows were tightly locked. He slowly walked out a few steps, and seemed to be muttering to himself. After a while, he finally turned around, and said in a muffled voice, "Junior, Spiritual Master Zhang's actions, I also cannot see through them. Let's not talk about it for now. After the Sword Competition is over, I will go and ask my teacher to go to Qincang School to find out what is going on."
Ying Ya Daoren sighed, and said, "This is the only way."
He looked up at the sky. He saw that the sky was getting dark, it was already a quarter after 'wu' hour. He thought that he might be able to fight another round today, so he cupped his fists toward the Elder and brushed his sleeve. A cool breeze rose from the ground and sent him to the altar.
He first ordered the altar boy to change the incense sticks and then tidied up his robe. Only then did he step forward to worship the talisman book.
After bowing a few times, he retreated to the side and waited for the decree to arrive.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a thunderous sound could be heard from the horizon. The sound resonated throughout the world, and the mountains responded together. The gray sky parted, and several auspicious lights broke through the surface of the clouds like a waterfall. Immediately, several mountain ridges received the auspicious light, and under the twilight, they glowed with extraordinary splendor.
Ying Ya Daoren raised his head and looked up. This time, four talismans floated down from the sky, and two of them floated towards the Celestial Gate. Looking at the peak, one of them headed towards South Flower Sect and Shaoqing Sect, while the other two headed towards Jiuling Sect and Origin Mirage Sect.
Shaoqing Sect Xun Huaiying was meditating on the peak. At this moment, he sensed something and opened his eyes, giving off a bright glow.
He raised his head slightly and saw a talisman floating towards him from the sky. Without hesitation, he flew up into the sky from the peak. He went forward to take it, and successfully took it into his hands.
After he kept it, he looked around and realized that no one was coming to fight him. He frowned and thought about it.
He scoffed, turning into a bright sword light and charging towards Jiuling Sect.
Ying Ya Daoren saw this. He was instantly pumped up, and he stepped forward. His gaze followed the streak of light and he was delighted, "Great, with Shaoqing Sect Xun Zhenren's help, we will be able to turn the tables!"
The Demon Sect had snatched a few talismans from the Celestial Gate. However, it wasn't to the extent of hurting them.
The strategy that the Celestial Gate 10 Sects had decided on was to kill the Demon Sect disciples who came to fight.
The Demon Sect had been suppressed by the Celestial Gate for thousands of years, so they only had six disciples. They just had to kill one or two of them and head to the Extreme Sky. How would they have the strength to fight against the Celestial Gate then?
When that time came, they wouldn't have to follow any rules, and the side with more people would win.
Ying Ya Daoren felt that as a Shaoqing Sect disciple, Xun Huaiying was able to come to Chengyuan Gorge to fight, so he had to stand out from the others. He also cultivated the Killing Sword Dao, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one here. However, he didn't believe that there was anyone in the Demon Sect who could beat him.
Yan Huixin snatched the two talismans, and his fighting spirit was still high. He didn't have any intention to retreat. Now that he saw the talisman descending on his peak, his expression changed and he wanted to head there.
However, just as he was about to take off, he coincidentally caught sight of Xun Huaiying sprinting towards the peak of the Jiuling Sect as well. His footsteps came to a halt and he stopped moving. Smiling out, he bowed his head and said, "If Reverend Xun wants to retrieve this talisman, you can take it then."
With that, he actually retreated back into the demonic clouds without looking back.
When the few Elders of the Jiuling Sect saw how he was acting, they did not seem to blame him at all. One of the Elders even praised him, "Well done, Junior Disciple Yan. This is not a good time to clash with the Shaoqing disciples. Only after we reach the Extreme Heavens will we be able to compete with them."
When Xun Huaiying arrived at the peak where the Jiuling Sect was located, he stretched out his hand and took out the Talisman Decree. However, even though he had easily obtained two Talisman Decrees, his gaze was cold, and there was not the slightest bit of joy on his face. Turning his head, he looked in the direction of the Origin Mirage Gate once more.
At this moment, a beam of light flew up from the peak of Supreme Sky Sect and landed in front of him. Tong Yingyuan appeared and bowed to him. He said very politely, "Senior Brother Xun, how about this little brother fight for this talisman decree?"
Xun Huaiying glanced at him and pointed downwards. There seemed to be a beam of sword light flying past. He then kept the sword pellet, flicked his sleeves, and left.
Tong Yingyuan didn't know what was going on, but when he looked down, his heart palpitated.
Just Now, that casual sword of Xun Huaiying's had actually sliced that altar made of jade into two without a sound. His gaze followed that sword mark and looked into the distance, and he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
That majestic temple on the peak of the mountain had also been cleanly split into two!
At this moment, on the peak of the mountain, a ray of light just happened to pass through a crack that was about an inch wide, passing through the beams and temple without any obstructions, casting onto the ground.
When all the disciples of the demonic sects in the demonic clouds saw this, a deep sense of fear arose in their hearts.
That temple's altar had restrictions set up on it. Ever since it was built, it hadn't been damaged even after thousands of years of wind and rain. But under the might of this sword, it was as if it was nothing more than rotten wood, unable to withstand a single blow.
When Xu Niangzi saw that Xun Huaiying had left and wasn't going to fight with her for the Origin Mirage Gate's decree, she felt slightly more at ease. Her eyes flickered, and she stepped on the jade ganoderma, floating in front of Feng Haiyang. She bowed and said, "Senior Brother Feng, I'm going to guard my sect's decree."
Feng Haiyang nodded and said, "Junior Sister Xu, that Taihao School's Tong Yingyuan's cultivation is deep, and his cultivation is even higher than yours. You have to be careful this time around. Our six sects don't have as many disciples as Xuan Sect, and we can't afford to lose even a single person. If you see that the situation isn't good, you should retreat as soon as possible. There's no need to fight for a moment's pride."
Xu Niangzi restrained herself and said, "I'll remember senior brother's words."
After another bow, she stepped on the jade ganoderma and used her escape technique, flying towards the peak where her Origin Mirage Gate was located.
Feng Haiyang looked left and right, smiling, "We can't let go of the Nanhua Sect's decree. Fellow Daoists, who's interested in getting it?"
At this moment, a sweet and pleasant voice that couldn't be distinguished from a man's or a woman's came from behind, "I'm willing to go."
Feng Haiyang turned his head and saw that the person's facial muscles were stiff, and his skin was waxy yellow. He wore a white robe and a tall hat, and he was abnormally thin. There was a pale white cloud above his head that was dense with cold air, as if there was an icy mist surging around it. Feng Haiyang recognized him as Yuchi Yun of Bone Yin Sect. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother Yuchi has an important mission, so it's better if you don't expose your own methods."
He turned his head to look at a tall cultivator not far away and said, "Junior Brother Lu Muqiu will go for a round."
Junior Brother Lu was wearing a gray Daoist robe and a pair of shoes made of light. He didn't have any accessories on him, and he wore a mask without a mouth and nose on his face. Only a pair of bright and spirited eyes were exposed. When he heard Feng Haiyang's words, he happily said, "Since Senior Brother Feng has spoken, I'll naturally obey."
He bowed to the people around him, and as his sleeves fluttered, he casually descended from the cloud.
On the peak of Nanhua Sect, there were two handsome Daoists dressed in white sitting on praying mats. Both of them had a spirit bird crouching under their feet. They were the two brothers, Nie Zhang and Nie Gui. Seeing that there were people coming from the devil cloud, the second brother, Nie Gui, was filled with fighting spirit. He stood up and said, "Big Brother, I'll go up first."
Nie Zhang sat upright without moving, and said solemnly, "That person should be Lu Muqiu of Huncheng Sect. It's hard to kill a disciple of this sect, Erlang needs to be careful."
Nie Gui's face showed some pride, and he said, "Don't worry, Big Brother."
He clapped his hands and the two-headed magpie under his feet immediately lowered its back. He stepped on it leisurely. The bird let out a long cry and flapped its wings. In a flash, it soared a thousand zhang high into the sky and stopped there, waiting for Lu Muqiu to come over.
When Zhang Yan saw Xun Huaiying go up, he thought that there would be a good fight, and wanted to see the legendary Shaoqing Killing Sword. Who would have thought that Yan Huixin would come and retreat without a fight, and even when his decree was snatched away, he ignored it.
He thought for a while, and saw through the Devil Sect's plan.
This should be a strategy to avoid the strong and attack the weak, to avoid a head-on clash with the strongest cultivators of the ten sects.
With the strength that the six Devil Sects had displayed, as long as they avoided Xun Huaiying, Zhou Huang, and Huo Xuan, they would have a higher chance of winning against the cultivators of the other sects.
Even if the six decrees that originally belonged to the Devil Sect were snatched away by the three of them, it would not affect the overall situation. The decrees that they lacked, they only needed to snatch back from the disciples of the other sects.
Moreover, now that the Devil Sect had three decrees in their hands, another three would be enough for them.
From this, it could be seen that in this Chengyuan Gorge, the disciples of the Devil Sect would not show their true strength, because they were still holding back. When they reached the Extreme Sky, it would be a real battle of life and death.
As Zhang Yan thought about this, he suddenly thought, how would the disciples of the Devil Sect view him?
His eyes flickered slightly, it was not difficult to test how important he was in the hearts of the disciples of the Devil Sect. He only needed to snatch the decree, and he would be able to see it from their response.
He looked into the demonic clouds, then when there was another decree flying towards the Devil Sect, he might as well go forward and try!
