Zhou Ruying's clone was instantly destroyed. The expressions of the middle-aged cultivator who was watching the battle and Daoren changed, and they retreated to the distance at the same time.
The Doppelganger Transformation was the result of Daoist Heavenly Abode's efforts, and it was condensed with magic power. If it was destroyed, although it wouldn't cause much damage to him, it would still take dozens of years for him to cultivate and reform. They didn't want to be the fish in the pond.
The two of them looked at each other. Since the outcome was decided, they didn't want to stay here any longer. Their bodies flashed, and they turned into streams of light and flew away.
After the two of them left, Huang Yugong slowly appeared in the sky. He looked a little disappointed, and after looking at the Heavenly Lake of Zhao You a few times, he shook his head, stomped his feet, and also turned into a beam of light and flew away.
At first, when Zhang Yan saw Zhou Ruying charging over aggressively, he was prepared to use the restriction formation to avoid her. But suddenly, he saw a bolt of lightning strike him, and he turned into countless objects that seemed to be light, but not light, and like a cloud, but not a cloud, and scattered in all directions. It looked like they had some spiritual consciousness, and they seemed to want to escape, but this place was already where the restriction of the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake was, so they could only crash around aimlessly.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "This is Daoist Xiangxiang's Qi and blood. Take it, there will be benefits for you."
Zhang Yan's expression changed. Only then did he know that the bolt of lightning Just Now was Sun Zhenren's doing. He cupped his hands in the air and said, "Thank you, Sun Zhenren, for helping me."
Sun Zhenren's voice sounded again, "I just can't stand that Zhou Ruying's arrogant behavior. But you need to be careful in the future, she will put this on your head."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly, and said, "I also have a debt in my heart."
Sun Zhenren laughed, and said, "That's right. We, the disciples of Qincang, should have this kind of heroic spirit. In the future, if you have any difficulties in your cultivation, you can come to the Changguan Cave and ask me. "
Zhang Yan cupped his fists in salute. A moment later, not even the slightest sound was heard. Knowing that Sun Zhenren had left, he turned around and shone his Water Element True Light on the 'Pure Qi and Blood Heroic Essence', absorbing it all into his body.
Then, he flicked his sleeves and stepped out of the forbidden array. Not long after. Returning to the place where he had set up the formation Just Now, with a wave of his hand, the seventy-two Ten Thousand Beasts Sleeping Moon Streamers and the Mountain and River Diagram all turned into streams of light and flew into his sleeve.
He sensed it with his mind. He sensed that Dragon Carp Renren was still thousands of miles away. It wasn't something that could be done in a short time. Without waiting any longer, he waved his sleeves and a gust of astral wind blew. Supporting his body, he returned to the Zhao You Cave Manor.
However, Just Now, when he was halfway there, he suddenly saw a Daoist boy riding on a crane and shouting in the sky, "Zhao You Cave Manor Head Zhang Yan, Sect Master Reverend has a decree, ordering you to go to the Floating Heavenly Palace later."
Zhang Yan hurriedly steadied his body and bowed, "Disciple understands."
The boy held up an item in his hand and said, "This is an entry talisman. Manor Head Zhang, keep it well, don't let Sect Master wait for too long."
He threw the talisman down, then lightly patted the neck of the celestial crane he was riding on. With a clear cry, the celestial bird flapped its wings and rose into the clouds, turning into a black dot in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and received the talisman. He thought for a while and felt that there was no rush to return to the Manor. Sect Master seemed to have something important to do, so he should go and visit him first.
Thinking up to this point, he patted the talisman. Immediately, a gentle light flashed from it and wrapped around his body. Then, it turned into a golden rainbow in the sky and shot into the sky.
The talisman flew very fast. In just half an incense's time, it rushed into the mountain gate of Qincang School. After flying for a while above the Great Lake of Dragon Abyss, the light turned again and flew thousands of feet up in the sky, arriving in front of the Floating Heavenly Palace in an instant.
After three years, Zhang Yan had a different feeling when he came here again. He looked around and glanced at the three main halls one by one. When he passed by the Hall of Du Zhen, he took another look.
At this moment, he suddenly felt his body become heavy and relaxed. The light in front of him dispersed, and he had already landed in front of the side hall he came from.
As soon as he stood still, he saw the servant boy on duty taking the initiative to greet him from afar. The servant boy cupped his fist and respectfully said, "Manor Head Zhang, the Headmaster has said that if you come, there is no need to report to him. You can just enter the hall and see him."
Zhang Yan nodded to show that he understood. He tidied up his sleeves and walked into the hall. Not long after, he arrived at the inner hall. He raised his head slightly and saw the Sect Master sitting on the star platform with a horsetail whisk in his hand. He didn't dare to be rude and walked up to him. He bowed and said, "Disciple Zhang Yan pays respect to Sect Master Reverend."
Sect Master Qin looked at him for a while and nodded. He said, "Zhang Yan, you did very well in this sword battle."
Zhang Yan bowed slightly and cupped his fists. He said, "I don't deserve Sect Master's praise. I just got a little bit of luck."
Sect Master Qin's eyes were filled with praise. He said, "Other than Huo Xuan and Qing Yu who got Jun Yang's essence, is the rest of it in your hands?"
Zhang Yan didn't hide it and answered frankly, "Yes, other than the Devil Sect's disciple who used it, all the disciples got the essence …"
At this point, Qin Mobai smiled and pressed his hand to stop him from continuing. He said, "Take out a portion of the essence."
Zhang Yan didn't hesitate and did as he was told. He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve.
Sect Master Qin waved his hand and took the jade bottle. He said, "This matter ends here. Don't mention it in front of me in the future. Do you understand?"
Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat. He bowed and said, "I understand."
Looking at the Sect Master's attitude, it seemed that he didn't care much about the Jun Yang's essence. Even if he took a portion, it was only to calm him down.
But since he had made so many plans and set up both paths in the open and in the dark, if it wasn't to get the essence, then what was it for?
Just as he was pondering, Sect Master Qin said, "I summoned you here today because I have another matter to discuss with you."
Zhang Yan cupped his fists and said, "Please tell me, Sect Master."
At this moment, a servant boy walked in and reported, "Sect Master, Zhenren Shen has arrived and is waiting outside."
Sect Master Qin waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and said, "Invite him in."
Not long after, Shen Baishuang stepped into the hall. He came forward and bowed, saying, "Baishuang greets Sect Master Shixiong."
Sect Master Qin chuckled and said, "Shixiong, you don't have to be so polite. Sit down and talk."
Shen Baishuang cupped his fists again and sat at the side.
Sect Master Qin's expression was kind. He said, "Shidi Shen, I was just talking about that matter with Zhang Yan. You came at the right time, so you can talk about it."
Shen Baishuang straightened his body and said, "Shidi Shen, when I traveled to Dongsheng Continent, I was ordered by the sect to build a branch for Qincang School there. But this time, I returned to the sect. I was preparing to meditate and cultivate. When the time came for me to break through, I would not go out. But it would be inappropriate if no one took over that place. Now that we have discussed it. Sect Master Shixiong is interested in you. I also think that it is suitable. What do you think? "
Sect Master Qin smiled and said, "Zhang Yan, if you are not willing, it is fine. That's fine. Just don't go out in the next hundred years. Just stay in the mansion and cultivate. "
Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat. The Sect Master ordered him to take over Shen Baishuang's branch. There was a subtle meaning behind it. Shen Baishuang did not look like he was willing, so it must have been discussed beforehand.
But when he thought about it carefully, he secretly praised it.
The Sect Master's arrangement had a hidden intention of protecting him.
Everyone knew that he had taken the essence of Jun Yang of the Great Continent. However, the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. Although he was not afraid, if he went to another continent, not only could he temporarily hide from the wind, he could also cultivate in peace. Now that the Devil's Tribulation had started, if he went to the Dongsheng Continent, even if someone from the Devil's Doctrine came looking for him, it would at most be one or two people.
However, cultivating in the mansion was not necessarily safe. Not to mention the various sects, even the elders and disciples of the Qincang School would most likely come looking for him after knowing that a lot of Jun Yang's essence was in his hands. It was better to go out and cultivate peacefully.
After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said loudly, "Since it is the arrangement of the Sect Master and Martial Uncle Shen, there is no reason to refuse. I am willing to go."
When Shen Baishuang heard what he said, he seemed to be slightly relieved and said happily, "I have taken in a few registered disciples there, but they are not officially part of the sect yet. After you go, Martial Nephew, you can test them on my behalf. If there are any who do not live up to your expectations, you can punish them. There is no need to give me face."
Zhang Yan did not stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "Since he is Martial Uncle's disciple, he is also my Junior Brother. Martial Nephew will definitely discipline him on Martial Uncle's behalf."
Sect Master Qin nodded and said, "After you go, the disciples of the Zhao You Mansion will look after them for you. There is no need to worry. I will send people to teach them Divine Abilities and Dao techniques. There will not be any delay."
Zhang Yan was overjoyed. Just this one matter was worth him going. He bowed and said, "On behalf of the sect, this disciple thanks the Sect Master."
Sect Master Qin nodded slightly and said, "In at most one to two hundred years, one of the four hidden Devil's Caves will appear. At that time, there will be a battle between our Xuan Gate and the Devil Sects. I hope that your cultivation will improve by then, so that you can come back to the sect to help."
Zhang Yan's mind changed. The six Devil Sects had lost the sword battle this time, so they would probably hide even deeper and wait for the opportunity to come before exerting their strength. After all, they had waited for thousands and tens of thousands of years. They would not be unable to endure a mere one to two hundred years. It was just that by then, even if he did not have the cultivation of the third level of Yuanying, he would have already entered the second level.
Sect Master Qin said again, "Previously, you won the sword battle. Although you went in the name of the Yaoyin Clan, you also won a lot of face for our Qincang School. Since I want to reward you, I will first bestow you a spell."
He raised his hand and pointed. A golden Talisman flew into Zhang Yan's forehead.
When Shen Baishuang saw that, he smiled and said, "Since you want Disciple-Nephew Zhang to help, as your Uncle-Master, I can't let you do it for nothing."
He also extended his hand and a red light entered Zhang Yan's sleeve.
Sect Master Qin took a look and said in surprise, "Junior Brother Shen, is that the Dharma treasure that Uncle-Master Zhuo gave you before you left?"
Shen Baishuang nodded and said, "That's right. However, I no longer have any use for this item. Now that I've given it to Disciple-Nephew Zhang, I can be considered to have made the best use of it."
Zhang Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Sect Master, Uncle-Master Shen, for your gift."
Sect Master Qin waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and said, "This matter must not be leaked. Go back to the residence and settle down first. After this matter is over, you can choose a day to set off."
