PS:
A few days ago, I sprained my muscles and had a hard time writing. After resting for a few days, I'm finally feeling better.
After Qu Changzhi finished speaking, he glanced at Daoist Jiang, who seemed to be hesitant. "Daoist Jiang, do you have any concerns?"
Daoist Jiang said, "I do have some concerns, but I don't know if I should say it."
Qu Changzhi looked over and smiled. "It's fine. Now that we're on the same boat, you can't escape, but you can't escape me. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Daoist Jiang naturally understood what he meant. He laughed dryly and said, "Spiritual Master Qu's arrangements are very appropriate. It should be enough to deal with Daoist Zhang. However, according to what I know, there are many powerful artifacts in the celestial city. If I were him, I would definitely bring them with me just in case."
Qu Changzhi said, "Fellow Daoist's words are not without reason. When Yong Fu fought with Daoist Zhang, he did take out a few powerful magic treasures. However, I'm a little puzzled as to why he didn't use them when he fought with Daoist Zhang."
Daoist Jiang hurriedly said, "I'm not trying to scare you. Daoist Jiang should know that Yong Fu and I are good friends. After a few drinks, he would reveal some information. It's said that there's a powerful artifact in the celestial city that has been passed down since the city was built. It can only be used by the owner. However, once it's used, one's lifespan will be shortened, and one's life will be lost. Perhaps that's why Daoist Yong didn't dare to use it easily. However, if his life is in danger, it's inevitable that Daoist Zhang won't risk his life."
Qu Changzhi nodded slowly and cupped his hands. "I still have to thank you, Daoist Jiang."
Daoist Jiang hurriedly returned the gesture. "You're too kind, too kind."
Qu Changzhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Daoist Jiang. This time, it's not just the three of us. There are a few other helpers, so there's no need to worry."
Daoist Jiang was a little surprised. Although there were many Yuanying cultivators in the Dongsheng Continent, they were all people in charge of a region. Usually, it was extremely difficult to gather a few of them.
Especially now that the Zhongtai Sect was fighting with the Xuanyue Sect. The cultivators of the two sects were too busy to leave. As for the other itinerant cultivators, as long as they had the slightest bit of cultivation, they would not leave their sects for fear of being implicated. His sect had received a secret order to capture Demon King An Crocodile. How could Qu Changzhi find a helper in such a short time?
However, since the other party had said so, he could only choose to believe him. After saying a few more words, he entered the cabin to meditate.
About half an hour passed. Qu Changzhi's expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something. Wang Guangyuan stood up and looked outside. He then looked at Daoist Jiang vaguely and said vaguely, "Senior Martial Brother, someone is coming from the north."
Qu Changzhi stood up calmly and looked out as well. It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. At the end of the horizon, there were two escape lights overflowing with Demonic Qi flashing through the air. But after a little closer, the black wind and turbid air that blew over seemed to have a bit of a fishy smell. He couldn't help but frown.
This time, he had asked for help from the Python Tribe to kill Zhang Yan. This was not only to increase their chances of success, but also to test the sincerity of the other party as an ally. However, the few elders of the Python Tribe that he had met were mostly on the path of righteous Qi Dao, while these two people were obviously on the path of evil. It was obvious that they were not from the Luo Tribe.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Junior Martial Brother, follow me out to welcome them."
He turned around and walked out of the cabin. Wang Guangyuan muttered something. It was obvious that he was unwilling, but he had to go out to welcome them.
Daoist Jiang thought for a moment and followed him out.
The three of them stood still on the deck. Not long after, the two rays of light arrived and landed on the boat one after the other. The black Qi that wrapped around the boat shook a few times before dissipating. Two old men walked out.
The one in the lead was slightly taller. He was half-bald, but there were strands of silver hair on his temples and the back of his head. They were sparse like the whiskers of a carp. His eyes were slightly yellow, and there were large white spots on his cheeks. He was very ugly.
The other person was slightly shorter and looked similar to him. Their clothes were also the same. It was obvious that they were brothers.
The slightly older person first looked at the two of them, then straightened his body and stood there. He raised his hand as a greeting and said loudly, "Which one of you is Spiritual Master Qu? This old man is Yu Jia, and this is my younger brother, Yu Yi. Today, we have come to help under the orders of our tribe's elders."
Wang Guangyuan curled his lips in disdain. Just by hearing their names, he knew that they were rogue cultivators with no background.
When the daoist with the surname Jiang saw the two of them, his expression changed slightly. However, he immediately acted as if nothing had happened, but his heart was in turmoil.
He didn't expect Qu Changzhi to be so bold as to dare collude with the North Sea Demon Tribe!
The Zhongtai Sect had once issued a strict order that all cultivators and citizens of the sect were not allowed to interact with the North Sea Demon Tribe without permission. Those who disobeyed would be severely punished.
For more than a hundred years, those who dared to cross the line were all beheaded without exception.
In particular, he was the guest of the sixth prince of Chu. His identity was even more sensitive. If people found out about this, he would most likely lose his life.
He was invited here by Qu Changzhi with all his might. He originally thought that it was because of his family's escape technique, but now that he thought about it, there was probably another purpose.
However, it was too late for regret now. He didn't doubt that if he behaved strangely, he would be killed by the two of them immediately.
But Qu Changzhi was clearly a disciple of Hui Xuan and had a close relationship with the Zhongtai Sect. Why did he do this?
Qu Changzhi walked over and greeted them with a smile. "Are you two disciples of Daoist Luo?"
Yu Jia replied, "We brothers were originally cultivators of Seal Fall Island. Third Elder didn't abandon us and took us in as guests."
Qu Changzhi's eyes revealed a look of realization. No wonder he had never heard of these two people. After the Python Tribe occupied the Beimo Sea Realm, they took all the scattered demon cultivators in the sea as their subordinates. If they met people with good aptitudes, they would help them cultivate. As a result, their strength had grown a lot. These two brothers should have only become Yuanying in the past hundred years.
He was slightly dissatisfied. In comparison, the Luo Clan not only had a strong foundation, but they also had divine arts and Dao techniques. These two people didn't meet his expectations, but since they were here, they would still be of help. Thus, he was still polite on the surface. He nodded slightly and moved to the side, saying, "Fellow Daoists, please. We'll be dealing with that great enemy later, so why don't we discuss some countermeasures together?"
Yu Yi rolled his eyes and said proudly, "With us brothers here, what enemy can't we take down? If Spiritual Master Qu feels that you can't handle that Daoist Zhang, you can just leave him to us. Why bother discussing? "
Not only did he think highly of himself, but there was also a hint of mockery in his words.
Qu Changzhi revealed a hint of fierceness, but it only appeared for a moment before it disappeared again. He took out two talismans from his sleeve and smiled. "That's fine too. I've set up a formation here, so I need these talismans to protect myself. Please keep them well."
"Formation?"
The Yu brothers looked at him with disdain.
Yu Jia stepped forward and waved his sleeve, keeping the two talismans. Then, the two of them each grabbed a ball of black smoke from their sleeves and threw it on the ground. The smoke enveloped the two of them and flew up to a thousand feet in the air. They hung there motionlessly, as if they didn't want to be associated with the three of them.
Qu Changzhi and the other two took a few glances at them before returning to the cabin. After they sat down, Wang Guangyuan slammed the tea table with anger in his eyes. He pointed outside and said, "Senior Brother, who are these two? How dare they be so arrogant in front of us?"
Qu Changzhi smiled. "Don't be angry, Junior Brother. It's a good thing that they're willing to help. We'll let them take the lead later."
He turned to look at Daoist Jiang, who was sitting at the side in a daze. He asked, "Fellow Daoist, you look pale. Are you feeling unwell?"
Daoist Jiang seemed to be startled and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Qu Changzhi looked at him meaningfully and said, "It's good that you're fine. We'll need Fellow Daoist's help later."
At this moment, Wang Guangyuan said darkly, "Daoist Jiang, you have to keep that talisman safe. If anything unexpected happens, even we won't be able to help you."
Daoist Jiang's heart sank. He was not stupid and immediately guessed that the talisman had been tampered with. He forced a smile and cupped his hands. "I'll follow your lead later."
Qu Changzhi no longer paid attention to him and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Wang Guangyuan chuckled and closed his eyes as well.
Daoist Jiang gritted his teeth. Since the matter had already been dragged into a pit of fire, he could only take it one step at a time.
With five people against one, if nothing unexpected happened, victory should be within their grasp. Once they got rid of Daoist Zhang, they would see if there was a chance for them to escape.
He waited uneasily for about a quarter of an hour. It was already the end of the afternoon. At this moment, there was the sound of a strong wind blowing in the sky. Qu Changzhi's body trembled and he said in a low voice, "It's here."
The three of them came out of the cabin at the same time and looked forward. They saw a blazing rainbow light coming from the south. As it got closer, the waves on the sea became stronger and stronger. Even the floating boat they were on was shaking violently as if it would capsize at any time.
Qu Changzhi was shocked. This person was still more than five kilometers away, but he could already cause such a commotion. How strong was his transcendence energy? He couldn't help but rejoice that he had overestimated his opponent and set up a formation in advance. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
In just a few breaths' time, the escaping light was already a thousand feet away. Then, it retracted and suddenly disappeared, revealing a Daoist with an imposing appearance. Above his head were three masses of strong clouds, two real and one fake. The spiritual energy around him was like a tide, fluctuating back and forth, actually forcefully pressing down on the surface of the sea to form a whirlpool. When his eyes swept over like lightning, everyone felt their hearts palpitate.
Yu Jia and Yu Yi also seemed to feel the threat of the approaching person. They dispersed the black smoke and descended from the sky, taking the initiative to stand together with the three of them.
Zhang Yan looked at the dozens of floating boats below. His eyes flashed and he waved his sleeve. A ball of light exploded and scattered towards where the five of them were standing.
The five of them couldn't tell what kind of Daoist technique this was. Out of caution, they didn't face it head-on. Instead, they scattered in all directions. Qu Changzhi hurriedly looked back and was shocked. He saw the ball of light descend and in an instant, the dozens of floating boats disappeared into thin air at the same time!
