Zhang Yan flew on his flying sword, and not long after, he arrived at the South Starstone Road. This place was densely covered with flying peaks, and there was one every several hundred zhang. His flying light flew here and there, and not long after, an open area appeared in front of him. As far as the eye could see, it was full of floating rubble, broken branches, and broken leaves, and there were still traces of battle.
At this moment, he looked around and suddenly saw a demon hiding behind a gravel, looking around sneakily. He smiled and casually shot out a Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder, which extinguished the demon instantly. He looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual. Then, he flicked his sleeve and a sword rainbow appeared and continued to move forward.
After Feng Haiyang forced Zhong Muqing to retreat, he chased after Huo Xuan and Luo Qingyu. With the help of the mirror, he could always keep up with them.
Initially, the two of them used the mirror to hide themselves. However, they seemed to know that it was useless, so they stopped hiding and just flew on the light.
Unknowingly, the three of them arrived at the East Star Stone Road and the distance between them was getting closer.
As Feng Haiyang was flying, he suddenly felt something. He looked around and his eyelids twitched. He thought to himself, "How did Zhang Yan escape from the Painting of Thousand Mountains so quickly? Xun Huaiying will probably catch up soon. I need to catch up with Huo Xuan quickly, otherwise, I will be entangled by the two of them again."
While he was distracted, the scenery around him changed a little. He didn't notice it at first, but after walking for a while, he clearly felt as if he had broken into another world, and there was an endless amount of willow green air pressing on his body.
He immediately knew that something was wrong. He shouted, and a strong wind swirled around him, stirring up a whistling gale. The Yin Thunder Devil Qi flew out continuously, blasting away the green gas around him. He shook his body, and without delay, turned into a wisp of yellow smoke and fled.
The surrounding spiritual vigor suddenly surged and there was an endless amount of Green Cloud Wind that was pressing down on him, chasing after him. It was originally a gentle ball of Green Cloud Wind that was light and clear, but when it reached the side of his body, it exploded. It kept cutting away the Tribulation Water that was surrounding him. He ignored it and focused on escaping.
After a while, Feng Haiyang felt that his body was light. He knew that he had escaped. He flicked his sleeves and flew to the sky. He turned around to take a look. The green light in the formation dispersed like a curtain, and Luo Qingyu appeared from within. He stood on a peak. He cupped his hands and said, "Sage Feng, I've been waiting here for a long time. If you want to chase after Senior Brother Huo, you'll have to go through me first."
Feng Haiyang took a few glances at the center of the formation. He saw that there were 72 formation mountains that were shaking with wind and thunder. They were trembling non-stop as if they were accumulating great power.
He thought to himself, "This formation is really extraordinary. Even if I'm able to break through it, I'll surely have to expend a great deal of effort, and it's even possible for me to drag it out for a few hours. Moreover, this person isn't afraid of fighting me one on one. I presume he's similar to Zhong Muqing and possesses the Qincang School's Lofty Cloud Tower. Fighting him is rather unwise. "
He sneered and didn't say a word. The tribulation water in front of him surged and released thousands of devils. He commanded them to surge downward. At the same time, his body shook and he turned into a wisp of yellow smoke that shot up into the sky.
Luo Qingyu raised his eyebrows and raised his hand. There was wind and thunder at the 72 peaks beneath his feet. The moment the devils entered the peaks, they were blasted into pieces.
When he turned to look at Feng Haiyang again, he saw that Feng Haiyang had already flown far away. He couldn't help but feel that it was a pity.
After he had refined the Qingping Mist Formation repeatedly, it was much stronger than it was during the battle with Zhang Yan.
Moreover, this formation was very difficult to detect when it was used in the mountains where there were many plants. The cultivator would unknowingly fall into its trap. He initially wanted to lure Feng Haiyang into the depths of the mountain and use the Qingji Wind and Thunder Ritual to torture him for a while. Unfortunately, Feng Haiyang's mana was very high and he was very vigilant. Once he realized that something was wrong, he forcefully retreated and returned without any success. If it was an ordinary Yuanying cultivator, he would have already succeeded.
"But it doesn't matter. Since he's gone, I'll act according to plan."
Luo Qingyu chuckled. With a tap of his foot, a green cloud lifted his body up into the air. He checked his bearings and decided not to head toward the Wind-chasing Ocean. Instead, he rode on a gust of wind and headed toward the middle road.
After flying for a while, he saw a familiar conveyance light flying towards him. He couldn't help but feel happy and shouted, "Is that Junior Brother Zhang?"
When Zhang Yan saw Luo Qingyu, he was slightly stunned. When he got closer, he stopped the conveyance light and raised his hand to salute. He asked in surprise, "Why is Senior Brother Luo here? Where are Senior Brother Huo and Senior Brother Zhong? "
Luo Qingyu stopped the cloud light and returned the salute. He smiled and said, "I'm here on Senior Brother Huo's order to look for Junior Brother Zhang." He looked behind Zhang Yan and asked, "Where is Zhenren Xun?"
Zhang Yan told him about the situation just now and then said, "Although the map can trap people, it won't take long for Fellow Daoist Xun to come out."
Luo Qingyu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's better that Xun Huaiying is not here."
He reached into his sleeves and took out an item. He presented it with both hands and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, this item is returned to its owner."
Zhang Yan took a look and realized that it was the Moon Mirror. His eyes flashed and he shook his sleeves to keep the mirror into his pouch. He asked, "Why is this treasure with you?"
Luo Qingyu smiled and said, "This is Senior Brother Zhong's plan. He once said that since Feng Haiyang came after us, we should change our plan. Junior Brother Zhong will go and look for the pot. Feng Haiyang will be in a hurry and will not notice it. We can deceive him."
Zhong Muqing thought that Feng Haiyang came after them because they had the mirror with them. He was afraid that they would get the Jun Yang Pot before them.
If that was the case, they might as well adjust their strategy. They would find a chance to return the mirror to Zhang Yan secretly and ask him to look for the pot. Then they would deal with Feng Haiyang.
However, it was not easy to do so.
Zhong Muqing was very daring. He suggested that he should go up and stop Feng Haiyang first, so as to create an illusion that he was trying his best to delay Feng Haiyang. In this way, when Luo Qingyu went up to stop Feng Haiyang, Feng Haiyang would most likely ignore him.
After Feng Haiyang left, Luo Qingyu would look for Zhang Yan and return the mirror.
This was a risky move from the beginning to the end. Feng Haiyang would fail if he felt something was wrong. However, it was worth a try under such a disadvantageous situation.
Luo Qingyu pointed at his feet and said, "My two Senior Brothers and I have already scouted the south road, but we did not find any trace of the treasured pot. Feng Haiyang is chasing after Senior Brother Huo in the east, so you can only go north. It would be best if you can find the treasured pot, but if you can't, Junior Brother, please come back to meet us."
Zhang Yan nodded. Since they had come this far, there was at least some hope of success. However, he still had to be careful in case Feng Haiyang realized something was wrong and turned around to chase after him. He thought for a while and smiled. "I want to ask for something from you, Senior Brother."
Luo Qingyu said casually, "What do you want? Just tell me."
Zhang Yan asked, "I wonder if you have the fake pot that we got from Lu Muqiu with you?"
Luo Qingyu was stunned and laughed. "I thought it was something important. Junior Brother, you can have it." He reached into his sleeve and searched for a while. He took out the fake pot and passed it to Chu Li.
Zhang Yan kept it. Since time was running out, he did not say anything else. After he bid farewell to Luo Qingyu, he turned into a conveyance light and flew towards the north with all his might.
After Luo Qing Yu saw him off, he flew up into the sky and turned into a stream of light. He flew into the sky and went to help Huo Xuan.
Zhang Yan became one with his sword and flew towards the north at lightning speed. When he reached the middle road, he stopped and landed on a flying peak. He took out the fake pot and a talisman. He activated his mana and turned it into a stream of Clear Spiritual Qi and went into the mouth of the pot.
He threw the pot on the ground and chanted a few incantations. He pointed at it and the pot seemed to have a mind of its own. It immediately jumped up and jumped back and forth on the rocks.
Zhang Yan smiled and waved his sleeve. A strong wind blew and sent the pot to the south.
This was to confuse Feng Haiyang. If Feng Haiyang found out about it, he would come to check it himself if he could not tell if it was real or fake. This would buy him a lot of time.
After he was done, he rode on his sword again. This time, he did not stop at all. In less than 45 minutes, he arrived at the north side of the Star Stone Road.
The Star Stone was not perfectly round. The east and west sides were very big, and the north and south sides were relatively small. This place was thousands of miles away from the east side. Feng Haiyang would not be able to see this place. Even if he knew he was here, he would not be able to rush over.
Zhang Yan chose a flying peak and landed. He picked up the Bright Moon Mirror and shone it in front of him. After a while, he changed to another location.
He looked back and forth for the time it took to burn a stick of incense. He looked through the area of hundreds of miles, but he found nothing.
However, he was not in a hurry. The pot had a mind of its own and did not want to be caught. Feng Haiyang took it last time, so this time it must be hiding. He had to search carefully. If he could not find it, he would think of a way to go to the east side.
He held the mirror in his hand and flew forward. After another hundreds of miles, he found that he had reached the end of the north side of the Star Stone Road. He looked up and saw a huge cliff. The top and bottom were gradually covered by fog and clouds. He could not see the end. There were countless old vines and branches climbing on the wall. Inside, there was a faint crystal light, like salt and snow. These were the Outer Heavens Elite that gathered in the cracks of the rock. There were also a few high cliffs with waterfalls rushing down, making loud noises.
He looked at it for a moment and picked up the treasure mirror. He activated his mana and a ray of mirror light shot forward. This light was extremely strange. As long as it wasn't a natural concealment object, it could illuminate the inside and outside of the ravine in the belly of the mountain.
After illuminating the mirror for half a day, he suddenly saw something in the mirror that looked like the root of a tree seemed to be startled. Seeing the mirror light coming over, it swayed a little, as if it was dissatisfied. It bounced a few times on the mountain rock, and suddenly dropped down into the mountain stream.
Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.
He waved his sleeves and leaped up. He rushed more than a hundred miles and arrived at the boundary. He circled in the sky and slowly floated down. He landed on a strange phosphorescent stone and took out the talisman order. He held it between two fingers and shook it gently. After a while, a ray of clear light floated out. When it came close, he grabbed it and brought it to his eyes. He wiped the mud on the pot and looked at it carefully. He first let out a sigh, then a long and clear laugh came from the cliff.
