Duan Liao descended on the golden light, passing through the high clouds and landing on the peak of Taihao School.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, he came back to his senses and looked at his body. As the golden light dissipated, the edict had completely disappeared.
With this one missing, there were only seventeen decrees left in the sky.
After the slight regret in his heart, he relaxed. Even if he didn't obtain the Jun Yang Essence during this trip to the Star Stone, he didn't lose the Jasper Violet Sun Seed. This could be considered a great merit, so the sect wouldn't be too harsh on him.
Tong Yingyuan, a fellow sect member, died, but he didn't feel any sorrow.
The two of them had entered the Dao a hundred years apart and didn't have much of a relationship. Moreover, he was fat, while Tong Yingyuan had the appearance of a handsome young man. Duan Liao had never been in his eyes. Now that Tong Yingyuan was dead, he felt a bit happy.
Other than Nie Gui who was seriously injured and unconscious, he was the first disciple to leave the Star Stone of his own accord. Thus, the elders of the various sects came to inquire about the current situation in the heavens.
After recounting what had happened, he was dragged to a secluded place by an elder of Taihao School. The elder asked coldly, "Martial Nephew Duan, did you take back the two Purple Jade Sun Seeds?"
Duan Liao hurriedly took out the two Purple Jade Sun Seeds and respectfully handed them over. "Martial Nephew risked his life to take them back …"
Before he finished speaking, the two seeds were snatched away by the elder and put into his sleeve. His expression softened and he said to him, "Although you didn't obtain Jun Yang's essence, you didn't lose the sect's treasures. You can say that your merits offset your demerits. When we return, I will speak up for you."
After saying this, the elder didn't seem to want to talk more with him and turned to leave.
Duan Liao's expression relaxed. He reached into his sleeve and grabbed the seed that he had hidden, feeling extremely excited.
Tong Yingyuan's position in the sect was very high. After exchanging the Jade-Jasper Violet Sun Seed for the talisman decree, Tong Yingyuan's position was very high. After exchanging the Purple Jade Sun Seed for the decree, he didn't tell the elders of the sect about it. Duan Liao made up his mind. Now that he had it, he didn't want to hand it over.
However, there was another worry. The Yang couple might not tell the truth. Duan Liao secretly made up his mind. If this couple made it out alive, he would have to make friends with them, even if he had to pay a price. He had to find a way to shut their mouths.
Inside the Star Stone, a clear sword light spun around and finally stopped on a flying mountain peak. Zhang Yan stood on the rock. As the rock under his feet slowly fluttered, the scenery in front of him also slowly changed.
However, after looking around, he found that the atmosphere was not right. The Spiritual Vigor of Heaven and Earth seemed to have been blocked by someone, like a drop of ink on a piece of white paper. It was an eyesore and gave off a feeling of incompatibility.
This scene seemed familiar to him, and he pondered for a moment. He thought to himself, "This should be the 'Vast Cloud of One Breath of Heaven' technique. Only Zhou Huang knows how to use it. Fellow Daoist Shen has been gone for a long time, so he must be unlucky to have met this person."
He pondered for a moment. This supernatural power and spell of Jade Heaven Sect was very profound, it would be difficult for those who did not know the method to break it. If he had mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique, he could give it a try. But now, he was powerless. Whether Elder Shen could keep his life or not, it would depend on his own luck.
Zhang Yan changed his mind again. Since he couldn't think of anything here, he might as well leave to find the Jun Yang Pot first. After making up his mind, he was about to move, but the moment he summoned the sword pellet, he stopped. He raised his head and looked at the sky without blinking.
After ten breaths, the Spiritual Vigor in the sky suddenly became chaotic. The clouds collapsed, and a dazzling golden light pierced through the sky.
This light was thin at first, then it turned into several strands, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into hundreds of rays. It was like a bright sun, bursting out in the void.
After a short while, Elder Shen flew out on a ray of conveyance light. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be in a sorry state.
Zhang Yan shifted his gaze and looked behind Elder Shen. He saw several dazzling thunder pearls flying towards him. He smiled and didn't go forward. He stood on the spot and made a gesture. Several purple thunderbolts flew out from the High Cloud above his head, and after a few explosions, the thunder pearls were dispersed.
Elder Shen turned and saw Zhang Yan's figure. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He turned the conveyance light and headed towards him. When he was near, he descended and said, "Thank you, Zhenren Zhang, for saving me."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you don't have to be so polite. You are very capable. Even this' Vast Cloud of One Breath of Heaven 'couldn't trap you, but I can't be compared to you."
Elder Shen, however, sighed and said, "Zhenren Zhang, you must be joking. Zhenren Zhou's divine arts are truly brilliant, far better than mine. If it wasn't for the 'Golden Axis Talisman' passed down by the patriarch, how could Daoren have escaped?"
As the two spoke, there was a sudden loud noise in the clouds. A ray of starlight flew through the air and arrived above the two of them. Just Now, it stopped.
The ray of light was like a silvery river that flew across the sky, brilliant and dazzling. At this moment, the starlight parted and Zhou Huang walked out from within. Looking down, his eyes were as cold as a blade. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Zhang Yan, Shen Yinfeng injured my Junior Brother. Why are you stopping me? Do you want to go against me, Yuxiao? "
Elder Shen was expressionless. During the sword contest, Zhang Yan killed Zhou Qingyun in front of everyone. It didn't violate the rules, so Yuxiao school couldn't do anything to him. However, killing Xie Keming was a different matter. No one could explain the reason behind it. Yuxiao school could use this as an excuse to cause trouble in the future.
Even if Zhang Yan was a disciple of Qincang School, he probably wouldn't want to cause such trouble. Thus, he guessed that although Zhang Yan would protect him, he wouldn't tell the real reason behind this matter.
Zhang Yan smiled and clasped his hands behind his back. He said with emotion, "Xie Keming was killed by me, Zhang Yan. It has nothing to do with Elder Shen. Zhenren Zhou, what are you going to do?"
As soon as he said this, Elder Shen couldn't help but turn his head to look. He never thought that Zhang Yan would dare to admit it in front of him without the slightest intention of evading.
Zhou Huang's expression changed several times as he stared fixedly at Zhang Yan.
At that time, he had the help of his fellow disciples. But now, Xie Keming was already dead, and there were disciples of the Devil Doctrine watching from the side. Moreover, there were two people on Zhang Yan's side. Even if he was confident that he could kill the two of them, he would have to pay a great price. At that time, it was very likely that the people of the Devil Doctrine would take advantage of him.
After calmly weighing the pros and cons, he didn't say a word. He turned around and fled in the starlight. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the air.
Seeing him leave, Elder Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He sighed and said, "Zhenren Zhang, if this person insists on making things difficult for us, I think it will be a fierce battle."
Zhang Yan said lightly, "That's exactly what I want."
Elder Shen was startled. Then, he laughed and cupped his hands. "If that's the case, Daoren isn't stingy to risk his life and fight."
Hearing his hoarse laughter, Zhang Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He turned his head and carefully looked at Elder Shen. Although he looked spirited on the surface, he could see some exhaustion in the depths of his eyes. His face was even more gloomy. He asked, "Is Fellow Shen injured?"
Elder Shen shook his head and said, "That's not the case. That 'Golden Earth Axis Talisman' is the token of our sect leader. There are several layers of prohibition. The first layer of prohibition is still fine, but the other few layers need to be combined with a mysterious method. Just now, in order to break that Entrapment Divine Ability, Daoren forcefully opened the prohibition. He has injured a lot of vitality and needs to recuperate."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "This place is full of spiritual energy. Fellow Shen, you might as well find a place to cultivate in seclusion. As long as you don't wander around, I think no one will find you. If you really run into danger, you might as well use the talisman to go. "
Elder Shen nodded silently. This was the best. He needed at least two hours to recuperate. Zhang Yan still needed to search for Jun Yang's spiritual essence, so he couldn't stay here to look after Elder Shen. He could only wait for his transcendence energy to recover before rushing over.
Only a few miles away from the two, Yan Huixin was hiding behind a high hill. Seeing Zhou Huang fly away on the conveyance light, he thought it was a pity.
Previously, Lu Muqiu had asked him to step down, hoping to make use of the enmity between Zhang Yan and Zhou Huang. If the two of them were to fight, it would be for the best if one of them died, or if both of them were severely injured.
Seeing that the two of them didn't fight, he was greatly disappointed.
Now, he was faced with a difficult problem. Should he continue to stall Zhou Huang or stop Zhang Yan?
Neither of them were easy to deal with. Not to mention Zhou Huang, he could only rely on his Devil Spirit to fight with him during the fight just now. Zhang Yan was even harder to deal with. Even Gao Ruowang was killed by him. Just thinking about this kind of enemy made him tremble in fear.
After thinking about it, he still couldn't make up his mind. He called up Lu Muqiu's name in his mind to ask for a solution.
After a while, Lu Muqiu responded in his mind with an urgent voice, "Senior Brother Yan, you must stop Zhang Yan. We can ignore Zhou Huang for now."
Yan Huixin frowned and asked reluctantly, "Why?"
Lu Muqiu said patiently, "Yuxiao school is far to the south of Dong Hua. It rarely interacts with other sects and doesn't have a deep relationship with them. Even if we let Zhou Huang leave for now, he won't go with the other disciples of Xuanmen immediately. It's highly likely that he'll go look for Jun Yang's Spiritual Essence first. But Zhang Yan is different. He's from Qincang School and is on the same side as Huo Xuan, Luo Qingyu, and Zhong Muqing. They might cooperate with each other. If that's the case, we have no chance of winning this sword fight!"
Yan Huixin was shocked. Lu Muqiu's words made sense. It was fine if the four disciples of Qincang School were divided into four groups. Once they joined forces, the remaining five of them might not be able to deal with them. However, he was still hesitant to go against Zhang Yan, so he didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that he was unwilling to agree, Lu Muqiu became anxious. If he missed out on Zhang Yan, he might come to him. This was a matter of life and death, so he couldn't delay it. He could only say, "Senior Brother Yan, at this critical juncture, the disciples of Spiritual Gate should work together to overcome this difficulty."
Yan Huixin changed his mind and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but Zhang Yan's Sword Escape is fast. How can I catch up with him?"
Lu Muqiu immediately said, "It's not difficult. I can help you with the 'Ten Thousand Miles Ruler' technique. You should be able to catch up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Huixin felt a surge of mana on his body. After hesitating for a while, he let it move his body.
He only felt that the scenery in front of him changed and he was already in a different place. However, when he looked around, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
At this moment, less than a mile away from the south, there was a rainbow-like sword light flying straight towards him.
