Although Zhang Yan had sent the Wang sisters to gather information, Elder An and the others were not cultivators, so their knowledge was limited. However, Gongsun Zhang was different. If the cultivators of the Dao Sect in the sea region wanted to know about the Dong Sheng Continent, it was best to get the information from him.
Facing the Yuanying cultivators, Gongsun Zhang's arrogance was swept away, leaving only fear. He didn't dare to hide anything.
After a round of questioning, Zhang Yan found out that the Dong Sheng Continent was different from the Dong Hua Continent. There were many vassal states in the continent, and they all had cultivation sects supporting them. Among them, there were five major celestial sects. Behind Dachu was Zhongtai Celestial Sect.
Celestial Luo Sect was the largest cultivation sect in the Xi Ji Sea Realm. It was worshiped by the overseas states and governed millions of people. Every day, they hunted and killed monsters in the sea, collected seashells, pearls, and other rare treasures, and traded them for treasures, pills, and other cultivation items.
Other than that, there were hundreds of cultivation families of various sizes scattered across the vast sea. In name, they all served Celestial Luo Sect as their sect leader.
Although this sect was not small, the only person with Yuanying cultivation was the city lord. Compared to the five sects, they were still far behind.
Zhang Boyan said, "In this case, the Xi Ji Sea is just a desolate place compared to the Dong Sheng Continent."
Gongsun Zhang lowered his head and said, "My Celestial Sieve Sect used to be powerful for a time, occupying two seas of the Five Seas Realm. About a hundred years ago, a group of Demonic cultivators came from the other continents and fought with us in the Beimo Sea. We lost a lot of our forces and had no choice but to retreat to the West Ji Sea. But when it rains, it pours. More than ten years ago, a demon ran amok in the sea, devouring all the living creatures in the sea. The few great cultivators of our sect had no choice but to stop it. After this battle, although we managed to severely injure the demon and drive it away, two of our elders died. Only my master managed to escape with his life. Since then, our sect's vitality has been greatly damaged and we have yet to recover. "
A demon from another continent? Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "I was passing by and wanted to visit your city lord. Where should I go? "
Gongsun Zhang hastily said, "Go northeast for three thousand li. There's a majestic mountain over there called Dayue, and that's where the Celestial Gathering Mountain Gate is located. I'm the direct disciple of the city lord, and I'm willing to introduce you to all of you. Knowing that the few of you have arrived. My master will definitely be delighted. "
He was well aware of the Celestial Sieve Sect's current predicament. Moreover, he was only a small Golden Core cultivator. If a Perfected Yuanying cultivator killed him, the City Lord would never avenge him. For the sake of his own life, he was extremely obedient right now, his mouth full of flattery.
Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "This matter is not urgent. I still have something I don't understand. Fellow Daoist Gongsun, why are you looking for trouble with my two disciples?"
Gongsun Zhang revealed a terrified expression and said, "Please don't blame me, Perfected One. Recently, a supreme treasure from the upper sect's Zhong Tai was stolen. Rumor has it that the thief came to our West Ji Ocean Boundary. Hence, the City Lord ordered that all visitors from the outer sea must be strictly interrogated, and I'm just following orders."
Zhang Boyan snorted and said, "Everything in the world that can be called supreme treasures all contain spirituality, how can it be stolen? Who are you trying to fool with this kind of nonsense? "
Gongsun Zhang laughed dryly and said, "It's not like I don't know the specifics, I'm just following what others say."
Zhang Yan thought carefully, and his eyes flickered. He said, "Perhaps this treasure isn't a talisman, but a cultivation technique."
Gongsun Zhang was shocked and said, "Perfected One, are you saying that it might be a secret tome of divine arts and Daoist techniques?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This is I's wild guess, don't take it seriously."
Gongsun Zhang nodded.
Zhang Yan looked at his cowering expression and smiled. He said to Wang Caiwei, "Disciple, bring me a brush and paper."
"Yes, Master."
Wang Caiwei spread out the paper in front of the table and placed the brush and inkstone on the table. Then, she picked up the paperweight and pressed it on both ends.
Zhang Yan picked up the brush and wrote down a series of rare treasures on the paper. He then passed it to Gongsun Zhang and said, "Since your master is cultivating, I won't disturb you anymore. Celestial Gathering City is a gathering place for celestial guests from all over the world, so there should be many rare treasures there. I want to buy some. When Daoist Gongsun goes back, why don't you keep an eye out for some?"
Gongsun Zhang was in disbelief and said, "Perfected One, you're letting me go just like that?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If Daoist Gongsun doesn't want to leave and wants to stay here for a few days, that's fine."
Gongsun Zhang's face turned pale and he quickly waved his hand. He didn't dare to stay here anymore. He carefully folded the white paper and put it away. He bowed with one hand and said, "Then I'll go back now."
He was afraid that Zhang Yan would change his mind, so he quickly bid farewell and left the Dragon Country's ship. He then flew away in a cloud of smoke.
But after a while, he suddenly thought of something. He gritted his teeth and said, "If those two didn't harm me, I wouldn't have lost an arm. I'll go kill them first to vent my anger!"
Those two people were not Taoist cultivators, so he used a spell and immediately calculated their location. After determining the direction, he quickly flew in that direction.
Although the middle-aged man and Chief Steward Bai had left a long time ago, the sea area was vast and they had not gone far. In a short while, he caught up with them. The two of them saw him rushing over and were shocked. Before they could say anything, they saw a cloud of smoke coming down on their heads. The two of them did not even make a sound before they were ground into a pile of bloody mud in an instant.
Instantly, Gongsun Zhang felt much better. He snorted coldly, then used his escape art and headed northeast. Six hours later, he returned to Celestial Gathering City.
Looking down from the sky, there were many buildings, halls, and platforms. The surroundings were filled with beautiful flowers and grass, stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the peak. One could still see the prosperity of the city in the past. There was a majestic pagoda hall on the peak. On both sides of the hall, there were golden bridges that extended into the clouds. They looked like two wings flying in the sky. It looked magnificent and extraordinary.
Gongsun Zhang landed in front of the pagoda hall and reported to the boy guarding the door. After waiting for a while, he heard someone calling him in. He entered the hall with familiarity and knelt down. "Disciple Gongsun Zhang greets Master."
On the cattail hassock in the main hall sat an 80-year-old Daoren. His hair and beard were sparse and his facial features were squeezed together. This person was the Celestial Gathering City Lord, Gongsun Xu. In the battle with the demon more than ten years ago, he only survived, but his face was damaged. Although he used spiritual medicine to repair it, it was still ugly.
As a cultivator, he didn't care about his appearance, but he was the lord of a city. Because of this, it was hard for him to see others, so he hid in the hall to cultivate. Unless it was necessary, he rarely went out.
Gongsun Xu looked at him weakly and said, "Why are you missing an arm?"
Gongsun Zhang didn't dare to hide anything and told him the reason.
After Gongsun Xu heard it, he said solemnly, "Did you see clearly that there were three clouds above Priest Zhang's head?"
Gongsun Zhang said with certainty, "I didn't see wrongly."
Gongsun Xu waved at him and said, "Let me take a look at that paper."
Gongsun Zhang quickly opened the paper and handed it over. Gongsun Xu took a few glances. He showed a confused expression. Some of these were herbs. Some were golden jade, some were spirit cores, and some were things he had never heard of before. But he couldn't tell what they were used for.
What was written on the paper. It was the medicine used to refine Bai Yueying Shi. However, Zhang Yan left out a few important things and purposely added a few things that looked right but weren't, so people couldn't tell them apart.
Gongsun Zhang asked carefully, "Master, do you want to see them?"
Gongsun Xu said angrily, "What do you want to see? Now that I look like this, am I going to embarrass myself? Give them whatever they want and send them away as soon as possible. "
As the two of them were talking, a cultivator in white walked into the hall. His clothes were simple and clean, without a speck of dust. He walked closer and sat down without any hesitation. He smiled and said, "Master and junior brother, who are you sending away?"
Gongsun Xu said angrily, "Aren't you going to accompany the envoy? What are you doing here? "
The cultivator in white said indifferently, "What does the treasures that were lost in the mountain have to do with me? Even if I find them, I won't get any benefits. "
He glanced at Gongsun Zhang and said, "What happened to junior brother? Why did you lose an arm? "
Gongsun Zhang smiled bitterly and told the story again. In the end, he said hatefully, "I was tricked by those two scoundrels, otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
The white-robed cultivator revealed an interested expression and asked, "Junior Martial Brother, you said that their restriction boat is over three thousand meters long?"
Gongsun Zhang nodded and said, "Yes."
The cultivator in white was secretly shocked. A ship that seemed to have a seal on it and needed to be refined from a huge Earthly Fire Heavenly Cauldron, the other party's background was not simple.
He thought to himself, "My master once said, to go to that place, it's best to have a few people with profound skills and no foundation, this group of people is just right."
Thinking about this, he said to Gongsun Zhang, "Junior brother is the most skilled in painting in our sect. Since you've seen these four people, can you draw their faces and let me take a look? If it's good, I'll help you regrow your arm. How about it?"
Gongsun Zhang's body trembled and he said in surprise, "Really?"
The cultivator in white said, "When has junior brother ever seen me joke about this?"
Gongsun Zhang took out a brush and a paper. He raised the brush and in a split second, he pushed it forward and said, "Take it."
The cultivator in white took it and looked at it. He saw the two beautiful women on the paper and they looked like real people. He couldn't help but click his tongue and said with a smile, "This painting can be said to be a treasure. Junior Martial Brother is really generous."
Gongsun Zhang ignored him and held his breath for a while. In the end, he took a deep breath and sketched out Zhang Boyan's appearance.
The cultivator in white walked to his side and saw an old man with a thick demonic aura and a pair of eyes that looked like they wanted to devour people. He felt a chill and immediately put down the painting. He nodded and said, "Not bad, there's still one more person."
But this time, Gongsun Zhang raised the brush and put it down. After a few times, his eyes suddenly lit up, the tip of the brush suddenly fell down, but after a while, he threw the brush, pointed and said, "Is Shixiong satisfied?"
The white-robed cultivator moved closer and saw that this time, only a back was drawn. However, with just a glance, he was shocked to see a majestic Daoist standing in front of him. He suddenly felt like he was looking up at a tall mountain. He couldn't help but hold his breath. After a while, he praised, "Good, good drawing!"
He carefully put away the four paintings and took his leave. Full of vigor, he walked out of the room and handed them to a servant who was waiting there. He said, "Send them to sixth brother. Tell him that these people are of great use to me. If they come to the Chu Country, treat them well. If they are negligent, I will hold him responsible."
