Just Now, the conversation between Zhang Yan and Daoren was heard by everyone below, and they all revealed tense expressions.
Zhang Boyan looked in the direction where Daoren had left and sneered, "Huang Yu Gong? I've never heard of this person's name before. I think he should be a senior expert from the ten sects. If the Manor Head were to ask for help later, he would inevitably owe a favor and karma. His calculations are very good. "
Dragon Carp Ruiren was originally lying under the river, but now, he raised his head and poked his head out of the water, saying, "Master, what are you afraid of? Below Chengyuan Gorge is Cheng River, and this water leads straight to the East Sea. Master also knows that this lowly one is good with water, so I can escort Master safely all the way out."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and rejected this suggestion. He waved his hand and said, "The people who came to stop me must know your background, so how could they not be on guard in advance? If I really do this, I will most likely fall into their trap. "
Wei Zihong suddenly had an idea, and he stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Master, disciple has a plan here."
"Oh?" Zhang Yan showed some interest, "Disciple, tell me."
Wei Zihong straightened his body and said with assurance, "Master, why are you in a hurry to leave now? This mountain is protected by a restrictive formation, so we don't have to be afraid of enemies attacking. If we cultivate here for a year and a half, do you think those people will still be waiting there?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "This idea of yours isn't bad under normal circumstances, but the situation is different this time, so it can't be used here."
Wei Zihong was startled, and he asked in confusion, "Why?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "There has always been a saying that one can only be a thief for a thousand days, so how can one guard against a thief for a thousand days? This matter can only be settled as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles in the future. "
The Jun Yang essence in his High Cloud still needed dozens of years to be completely refined. Logically speaking, it was fine to cultivate here. As long as he kept delaying, these three people would eventually be unable to outlast him.
But things weren't so simple. Jun Yang's essence Qi was involved in the conflict of interests among the sects, and it couldn't be avoided with some tricks.
Right now, at least Sect Leader Qin was watching from the back. The experts of the various sects were also gathered here. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the person blocking the way would not be too shameless. As long as this matter was resolved in a fair and just manner. These people would no longer have an excuse to cause trouble for him in the future.
Wei Zihong didn't really understand, but he also knew that his method wasn't appropriate. He couldn't help but worry, "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Yan said comfortingly, "The people blocking the road ahead are not things that can be won with numbers, but I have a way to deal with them. You don't need to worry too much. "
He flicked his sleeves. He stood up. He then said to Lu, Zhang, and Dragon Carp Liao Ren, "I'm leaving now. After I leave, I'll have to trouble the three of you to send my disciple back to the cave abode."
Lu Meiniang said worriedly, "Manor Lord. If those people attack Sect Leader Wei … "
From the words just now, she could tell that the person blocking the way had a very high cultivation level. If they could capture Wei Zihong and force Zhang Yan to give in, they probably wouldn't be able to protect him.
Zhang Yan didn't care and said, "It's okay. Just follow me. You'll be fine."
The person who was blocking the road in front of them didn't even bother to look for him, the main culprit. Instead, they made things difficult for a junior in front of a fellow Daoist. That was shameless. Not only did they not gain anything by doing so, but it would also give the Dark Azure Sect an excuse to intervene. Perhaps a few people would really have such thoughts, but the sect behind them wouldn't be so unwise. Besides, he had Dragon Carp to protect him, so he didn't need to worry about those with low cultivation level.
After giving a few more instructions, Zhang Yanqing shouted and leaped up on a sword light. He did not go to the Empyrean Pole Heaven by borrowing the Astral Wind. Instead, he went east along the Cheng River. Although it was a little slow, if there were any accidents, he could escape by using the water at any time.
After traveling for half an hour, he suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw a faint white smoke falling from the blue sky. After landing on the river in front of him, it spread out and a person came out. He was holding a white jade ruler, wearing a red robe and a golden crown. He looked elegant and had a beautiful beard in front of his chest. He looked to be in his forties, but his feet seemed real and illusory, as if they were covered by a cloud of mist. He said loudly, "Are you Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat. He could tell that this person was only an avatar that had come here. He stopped the conveyance light and stood on the cloud. He calmly bowed and said, "Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"
The middle-aged Daoist avoided mentioning his name and only said, "I would like to invite you to stay in my cave for a few days. Are you willing?"
Zhang Yan shook his head and smiled. He replied politely, "I'm in a hurry to return to the sect. I'm afraid I can't stay for long. I'll have to disappoint you."
The middle-aged Daoist said it was a pity and said, "I'm sure you know why I'm here. However, this seems to be bullying the weak. How about this, I'll only attack once. No matter what you do to block it, if you can withstand it, you can leave."
Zhang Yan put his hands together and said solemnly, "Please enlighten me, Senior."
The middle-aged Daoist only waved his sleeve lightly. In an instant, the white fog on the river seemed to be blown away by a hurricane and surged over.
Zhang Yan felt a huge force pressing down on his body from all directions. He immediately realized that although this attack was a pure attack of mana, the opponent's cultivation was too high. He could not block it head-on. Therefore, he did not hesitate to use his technique. A clear light appeared and a huge cloud tower appeared on the water. He leaped and turned into a conveyance light that flew inside and hid inside.
The cloud rushed over and crashed into the tower. The Towering Cloud Tower shook violently and gave off a series of explosions. However, it did not break.
The middle-aged Daoist shook his head and retracted his hand. He turned around and flung his sleeve, saying, "Do as you wish, Daoist."
Zhang Yan raised his hand and cupped his fist again. He summoned a beam of light and flew into the sky. He held the Cloud Watchtower Talisman and used his mana to explore it. He found that with just one blow, half of the restrictions on it had been broken. If he were to encounter such a powerful enemy again, he might only be able to block it for a while.
After flying for another hour, a black cloud that was like a mountain appeared in the sky. It pressed heavily in the air and blocked his way.
Zhang Yan's expression did not change. He continued to fly forward. When he reached the bottom of the black cloud, he heard a clear cry. Suddenly, a bird's claw stretched out from within. It was thousands of feet long and its claws were wide open. It grabbed towards him as if it could cover the sky.
This time, the person who attacked did not even greet him and attacked immediately.
Zhang Yan's expression froze. He originally wanted to use the water to escape, but he had a feeling that if he really did that, no matter where he ran, the claw would definitely be able to capture him. At this critical moment, his eyes flashed a few times. He shook the talisman in his hand, and the clear light shone brightly. He still used the Lofty Cloud Tower to protect himself. The sharp claw came up, and with a rumble, the entire Lofty Cloud Tower creaked as if it was about to collapse.
After the person in the cloud exerted his strength to grind for a while, he saw that he could not take him down. He retracted his divine power and the black cloud that was floating in the sky disappeared without a trace in an instant.
When Zhang Yan retracted the Cloud Tower and came out, the clouds in the sky had already dispersed. The blue sky was clear and there was no trace of turbidity.
He checked the Cloud Tower Talisman and found that more than ninety percent of the restrictions inside had collapsed. Obviously, it could not be used anymore.
He could not help but ponder. Judging from the two people before, although they were only clones that came here, the strength of their Fa Li had already reached an unimaginable level. If it was any other Yuanying cultivator, it would be difficult to match them. Thus, the best thing to do was to avoid them.
He thought again and was not in a hurry to continue on his journey. Instead, he found a mountain top and sat down cross-legged. He circulated his Qi and adjusted his breathing.
After about an hour, he stood up again and looked at the vast world in front of him. He let out a shout and flew towards the north.
At this moment, there was an extremely large Red-eyed Feathered Crane in the sky. On its back sat a white-haired, white-browed, and cloaked Daoren. The middle-aged Daoist who attacked Zhang Yan before was also at the side. He turned around and said meaningfully, "I didn't expect Daoist Xin to be merciful."
Xin Daoren said expressionlessly, "I'm only a Shadow Clone here. How can I break the Lofty Cloud Tower? If I forcefully attack, I'm afraid even my clone will disperse. On the other hand, if Daoist Wu could put in a little more effort, I might have a chance of winning. "
The middle-aged Daoist chuckled and said, "This Zhang Yan has such talent. He has a high chance of becoming one of us in the future. If we can kill him now, it will save us a lot of trouble. However, we can't take his life now. It's not worth it to create hatred for a mere wisp of essence. Today, I'll treat it as doing him a favor."
Xin Daoren didn't comment. He only said, "The one in front has a higher cultivation than the two of us. He doesn't have to worry so much. This Zhang Yan might not be able to dodge without the Lofty Cloud Tower."
The middle-aged Daoist narrowed his eyes and said, "That will depend on his own fortune."
After Zhang Yan left Cheng Jiang, he walked all the way north. Not long after, the lofty shadow of the Zhao You Mountain at the end of the horizon became clearer and clearer.
With his speed, he was actually not far from the mountain gate. At most, in another half an hour, he would be able to return to the mountain gate. If he flew at full speed, the time would be reduced by half. However, the closer it was to this time, the more he didn't dare to relax.
After walking for a few more miles, a brilliant cloud suddenly appeared in front of him. Multicolored light flew around, as if there were countless stars dancing in the sky, blocking his path. On the cloud stood a woman dressed in men's clothing. Her waist was slender, and she was tall. Her hair was simply tied into a bun. Her nose was straight, and her skin was fair. Her lips were extremely thin. Although her appearance was also extremely beautiful, her eyes contained a trace of coldness.
Zhang Yan focused his gaze and looked carefully. He noticed that the shadow under her feet was like smoke. It was also a clone. However, he was even more guarded in his heart. He thought to himself, "Previously, those two attacked repeatedly, but they only broke my protective instrument. After that, they didn't do anything else. According to what Huang Yu Gong said, it won't be easy to return to the mountain. I think this person is the real person I have to deal with. I need to be careful."
