"Dalang, I found Erlang …" The cultivator who came in a hurry lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Yihong.
"Bring him up."
Su Yihong's expression did not change, but those who were familiar with him could see the uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes.
The cultivator who was standing beside them waved his hand and two muscular men walked forward, trembling with fear. One of them carried a severed body while the other carried a head.
Su Yihong's gaze was like a sharp blade as he stared at the head, and the people standing next to him felt a chill in their hearts. At this time, only He Guo dared to speak. He whispered, "Dalang, the bodies of Erlang and the others are incomplete. Obviously, they have been tampered with. I can't tell what kind of weapon did it."
Su Yihong snorted coldly, "Did you find out who was left out?"
He Guo said in a low voice, "Zhang Yan."
The chill in Su Yihong's eyes grew stronger, and the people around him unconsciously took a few steps back.
He Guo, however, looked ashamed and whispered, "Dalang, how should we deal with this place?"
Feiyao Pagoda was destroyed by a heart-striking hammer, and this trace was not difficult to see. Moreover, they only needed to check to know that it was He Guo's magic weapon. He also had a close relationship with the Su clan, so they had to clean up this place. Otherwise, anyone could associate it with the Su clan.
He Fang left with the hammer. Not only did he not know whether he was alive or dead, but he also caused such a scene. He Guo felt ashamed to face Su Yiang.
Su Yihong looked down at the broken bricks and tiles on the ground under his feet and waved his hand irritably.
He Guo understood and sighed. He turned around and said, "You all should clean up this place according to what you said before. Remember to bring the corpses of the monster cultivators here. Don't leave the slightest flaw."
Although they originally wanted to frame the water demons of Nine Tunes Stream Palace, they were just following their original plan. However, they were clearly the ones who suffered a loss this time, but they still had to clean up the mess. Everyone present felt depressed.
Su Yihong turned his head and looked at a cultivator with thin eyebrows and eyes, who looked like a dwarf, and said, "Mister Yang, this Su asks, what should we do next?" Due to Zhang Yan's sudden actions, he had already disrupted his original plans. He was still hesitating as to what he should do.
Mister Yang pulled his sparse beard and said slowly, "Dalang, at this moment, we should use Erlang's death as an excuse to attack immediately and take down Shenjin Stream in one fell swoop."
Su Yihong frowned and said, "But using Erlang as an excuse to fight is for personal, not for public. If we lose the righteousness, the sect master will find trouble for our Su clan."
The Su clan was not ready to turn against the Ying Cang sect yet. Neither Ji nor Ji Jiushang could choose to start the war at this time. If they use with the Sect, they would be with the Su clan, and the sect, they, they, Su, they, and, but also, they, Su, and, in, at.
Mister Yang said seriously, "Dalang, if we occupy Zhenlong Manor, the Su clan will immediately have the foundation to establish a sect. When the time comes, we can advance or retreat, and the gains outweigh the losses. At this moment, the arrow on the bowstring has to be fired, and we must not hesitate."
Su Yiang thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Although Mister's words are reasonable, you have forgotten that we can first take down Shenjin Stream, and then find an excuse." After a pause, he said, "He Guo!"
He Guo stood up, bowed, and said, "Dalang, please instruct me!"
"Take a few more people to patrol the surroundings of Ying Cang sect. Within these ten days, if anyone suspicious comes to the mountain gate, kill without mercy!"
He Guo accepted the order and said, "Yes!"
Su Yihong looked around and said, "Where is Miao Kun?"
"Here!" A short and stocky cultivator stood up, but the expression on his face was smiling, completely unlike the other cultivators who looked nervous.
Su Yihong looked at him, frowned, and said, "I will also give you ten days. Take a few people to search in the direction of the Shui Kingdom, and if you encounter this person, kill him!"
Miao Kun casually cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Understood."
After the arrangements were made, Su Yihong stepped on the jade steps of the golden palace, flung the Qilin cloak behind him, and said loudly, "The rest of you, immediately attack Shenjin Stream with me, and avenge Erlang!"
Everyone agreed loudly, and dozens of mysterious lights rose into the sky, following the golden palace, and killed their way in the direction of Jiuqu Creek Palace.
…
Three months later.
At the border of the Shui Kingdom in the Dang Region.
Zhang Yan's sleeves fluttered, and he was flying with the wind. Two Qis surrounded him, accompanied by clouds and mist, making him look like an immortal. However, Luo Xiao, who was flying in front of him, frequently looked back and said, "Fellow Zhang, this technique is too slow. Why don't I use the mysterious light to carry you? It will only take a few days to reach the Shui Kingdom."
Zhang Yan, however, said unhurriedly, "There are still nine months to the birthday of the Shui Kingdom's ruler, and it is rare for this place to be so peaceful. Why don't I cultivate for a few more months, and it will not be too late to go after I reach the third tier of Clear Qi."
Half a month ago, he had used the Evil Qi in his Qi openings to reach the second tier of Clear Qi, and this was all thanks to the Moonseizing Jade Amulet. It allowed him to cultivate at night far faster than usual, and the speed of cultivation was more than doubled. In the later stages, he could cultivate a mouthful of turbid Qi almost every day.
Now that he was advancing towards the third tier of Clear Qi, "Heavenly Rain Descending", he already had three mouthfuls of turbid Qi in his chest. Once this tangible and intangible Qi became one, there would be a change of Yin and Yang, and the spells he could use in the future would not be as simple as before.
Luo Xiao was puzzled, "If that is so. Fellow Daoist, why must you go to the Shui Kingdom? "
Zhang Yan did not answer.
He understood that if he wanted to return to the Ying Cang Sect in the future, he would have to go to the Shui Kingdom of the Dang Region. At the very least, he would have to make a trip there. Otherwise, as a member of the diplomatic mission, if he did not go to celebrate the birthday, it would be hard to avoid Ji Jiu Shang using this as an excuse to attack the Ying Cang Sect in the future.
As for returning to the sect to explain the reason, that was just a joke. He did not have that much loyalty to the Ying Cang Sect.
Moreover, even if he risked his life to return to the sect and completely ruined the Su clan's plan, it would only make them use all their strength to deal with him, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
Luo Xiao's beautiful eyes wandered, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is not far from the third tier of Clear Qi, have you decided what Dao you will walk in the future?"
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, and said, "I have read a little about it in Daoist books, but it is like a mountain covered in clouds and fog, it is not very clear. I hope fellow Daoist Luo can give me a pointer or two."
Luo Xiao said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you human body cultivators always like to play these mysteries, but let me tell you, when a cultivator reaches the third tier of Clear Qi and condenses the Mysterious Seed of Light, they need to decide on their future Dao, and the road to longevity has three main Dao."
Zhang Yan's attention was immediately attracted, "Which three?"
Luo Xiao gathered her sleeves, and successively extended three fingers like green onions, and said, "The first is the 'Dao of Strength'. Those who walk the Dao of Strength use external medicine, and boil the Inner Dan, to cultivate an indestructible golden body. At the peak, they can overturn rivers and seas, and spit out the earth and swallow the sky. The second is the 'Dao of Qi'. Those who walk the Dao of Qi breathe in the essence, and concentrate on the Dao, achieving the unity of heaven and man. At the peak, they can incarnate into tens of thousands of things, and become immortal and indestructible. The third is the 'Dao of Qi'. Those who walk the Dao of Qi understand the wisdom, understand the nature, and thoroughly study the mysteries of heaven and earth. At the peak, they can transform into tens of thousands of things, and move the stars and the moon."
Zhang Yan thought with rapt attention, and slowly nodded, then he asked, "Which path does Fellow Daoist Luo take?"
Luo Xiao smiled bitterly, and sighed, "I, a demon cultivator, lack words, and lack Dao, so I walk the 'Dao of Strength'. It's only because I happened to obtain a Daoist book, and now I'm walking the Dao of Qi. I wonder where my next step will be?"
Although the three main Dao of longevity are different routes to the same destination, those who cultivate the 'Dao of Qi' need to have the inheritance of a superior cultivation method, and other than the big sects and aristocratic families, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain this. Even among the demon race, there are only a few who walk this path.
As for the Dao of Qi, ordinary cultivators only cultivate it, because it is too difficult to rely on this path to reach the Dao. They need to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, and thus understand all things. Even among the human body cultivators, there is only one in ten thousand.
There is a saying in the Daoist book, "Sixteen numbers are one Dao."
In other words, a cultivator needs to use sixteen breaths of Spiritual Qi to cast a Dao technique.
If the cultivation method you cultivate is of low quality, to the extent that your Spiritual Qi is less than sixteen, then unless you find another Dao technique to cultivate, you will never be able to cast a Dao technique in your lifetime. As for those cultivators who can use one Qi as one Dao, and can change their divine abilities with just a finger, they are only heard of in legends.
Therefore, most cultivators only slightly dabble in this Dao, and most of them walk the path of the Dao of Qi, and among the demon cultivators, there are even fewer of them.
But the 'Dao of Strength' is different. It mainly refines the body, and not only can it bring out the natural advantages of demon cultivators, but when it is cultivated to a high level, it will not be afraid of magic treasures or flying swords. It is undoubtedly the best choice for demon cultivators.
If Zhang Yan's cultivation improves, he will also have to stand at this fork in the road, so he has no choice but to consider this matter in advance. He can't help but ponder on the cloud.
The mysterious light on Luo Xiao's body spread out, and like a picture scroll, it connected to the thick cloud under Zhang Yan's feet. He walked over leisurely, smiled, and waved his hand in front of his eyes. He said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, actually, you don't have to worry about delaying your Dao when you go to the Water Nation. Do you know that Monarch Ji's birthday is celebrated with the Elixir Gathering, and he is even using a Primordial Metal Life Fruit Book as a prize. This is a superior technique of the 'Dao of Strength' …"
Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Could it be that there is some inside story behind this?" He could tell that most alchemists are human cultivators, and if they want to set up a prize, it should be the 'Dao of Qi' or the 'Dao of Magic'. Why would they use a book of the 'Dao of Strength'?
Luo Xiao didn't expect Zhang Yan to react so quickly. After being stunned for a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, Monarch Ji has a young son named Ji Zhang. This person's mother is a human cultivator, and most of his demon blood was refined by his mother in the womb. So even though he is a demon, he is still human. He once went out to learn alchemy from an expert, and this competition …"
When she said this, she stopped, and only smiled without saying anything.
When Zhang Yan heard this, he actually already understood the meaning behind Luo Xiao's words. He smiled and said, "I understand now. So it's not that Ji Jiushang likes to make a big deal out of himself, but it's to build up his son's reputation. Everyone else is just a foil."
Luo Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "Exactly. After hearing this, does Fellow Daoist Zhang feel bored?"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, and said, "How is it boring? Since Monarch Ji has announced to the world that he is summoning all the alchemists in the world to live together in one hall, of course everyone will have to rely on their own methods and schemes. When the time comes, it's still unknown who will come out on top. "
Luo Xiao's beautiful eyes widened, and she took a step back. She looked up and down at Zhang Yan, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang … could it be that you want to win the book?"
