The cultivators from the various sects had been waiting on the Tidal Top Cliff for a while now. It was already noon and the sun was nearing the middle of the sky. The sky was blue and the sea was blue. White clouds floated leisurely and the waves of the sea were flowing with golden light. Suddenly, a sound resounded in the sky and the clouds parted. Chu Mu Ran's body trembled and he said excitedly, "It's Senior Martial Brother Sect Master! Senior Martial Brother Sect Master has returned!"
The disciples of Deep Abyss School were all excited. How could the cultivators from the various sects not know that Zhang Yan won the battle? They all rushed to the cliff and congratulated him.
The two Longxiang disciples and the Daoist boy were a little anxious when they didn't see Shao Zhongxiang.
The traveling light descended from the clouds and landed in front of the cliff before slowly dispersing. Zhang Yan slowly walked out from within and raised his hand to pass a letter to Chu Mu Ran. He said, "Junior Martial Brother, I found this on Shao Zhongxiang. Take it and pass it to everyone."
Chu Mu Ran quickly took it and skimmed through it. He immediately knew what was going on and used his mana to protect the letter. He sent it into the air and pointed at it, "Everyone, please take a look."
Everyone took a look and realized that it was a letter between Shao Zhongxiang and the Python Tribe. There was even a seal at the bottom. They were all smart people and knew that this was purposely left behind to prevent the Python Tribe from burning the bridge after crossing the river. Now, this was proof that he was colluding with the Python Tribe. Someone was infuriated and shouted, "Please give the order to destroy Long Xiang!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately attracted the agreement of many people, and the surrounding area was filled with condemnation.
There were also many people who looked at the two Longxiang Sect disciples with unfriendly gazes. The two of them were scared out of their wits. They pulled the Daoist boy and ran to Han Wangke. As if grasping at straws, they knelt down and kowtowed, begging: "Daoist Han, please save our lives."
Han Wangke frowned and released a ray of spiritual light. He encircled the three of them and said, "Although your sect leader and I are only at the beginning, since the three of you came with me, I will protect you for the time being. But if Master Zhang insists on punishing you, I won't be able to stop you."
Even though the surrounding cultivators were filled with hostility towards him, he was a Yuanying cultivator after all, so no one dared to approach him.
Zhang Yan raised his voice, "Fellow Daoists, Longxiang Sect has colluded with the demon python. Shao Zhongxiang has already been executed, but his disciples only obeyed their master's orders. Their crimes are not worthy of death. Just expel them from the domain of the divine house. There's no need to make things too difficult for them. "
He turned to look at Wen Liang. "Junior Brother Wen, I'll leave this matter to you."
Wen Liang acknowledged the order in a loud voice: "Little Brother will go now."
Han Wangke nodded, waving his hand at the two Longxiang disciples: "You heard it, leave quickly."
The two of them felt as if they had been pardoned from a great crime. Because the cultivators sent here were still looking for trouble with them, they didn't dare to stay for long. Dragging the Daoist child with him, he boarded a flying boat and fled the place in a panic.
With Shao Zhongxiang dead, the third round was absolutely necessary. Han Wangke walked up to Zhang Yan. He transmitted his voice: "Junior Brother Zhang, I will also take my leave."
Zhang Yan thought for a while, then took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is a letter from my sect. If senior brother has any problems in the future, you can come find me at the Han Yuan Sect. "
Han Wangke was silent for a while. He took it down, hesitated for a while, then said: "Junior Brother Zhang, the Python tribe has long wanted to take over Eastern Victory. This time they didn't succeed, but they won't give up just like that. You have to be careful."
Zhang Yan smiled and bowed: "Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."
Han Wangke returned the gesture, then rode the wind and disappeared into the blue sky.
Zhang Yan watched him leave. Even though this person was an abandoned disciple of the sect, and it wasn't convenient for him to get too close to him, but he seemed to have some status in the Python tribe, so there was no need to be too hostile towards him. In the future, there will be opportunities to interact with him.
Now that the flood had receded, the sects still needed to go back and rebuild their mountain gates. Since the battle was over, they all came up to bid farewell.
An hour later, Zhang Yan also returned to the cave dwelling. He carefully looked at the three spiritual herbs he got from Shao Zhongxiang, and found that if they were refined into White Moon Heroic Fruits, they could be used for four to five years. As for the remaining gap, he could only go to Chu to look for opportunities.
There were still a few years until the Gathering of the Dragon Pillars, so he could focus on cultivating the Five Elements Escape Technique. Once he mastered this technique, he would be able to lock down the world like a 3rd layer Nascent Soul cultivator. At that time, he would be able to head to this place.
Fire Hole Mountain.
Ceng Conglun had eyes and ears in the Shenwu Mountain, and the news of the battle between Zhang Yan and Shao Zhongxiang spread to him in just two to three days.
Although Shao Zhongxiang had left Dong Sheng Continent for hundreds of years, he was after all a disciple of Fengxiang sword school, and even entered Dao with a demonic body. The Yuanying cultivators present had all heard of his reputation, and the fact that Zhang Yan was able to defeat this person caused a lot of surprise.
On this day, everyone was discussing Dao, and when this matter was brought up, someone said, "Shao Zhongxiang is a demonic body cultivator, and was expelled by Sect Master Chen. I heard that he had long escaped to another continent, but who would have thought that he was hiding in the Shenwu Mountain."
Ceng Conglun looked at an old man at the table, and asked with a smile, "How is this person compared to Elder Xin?"
Elder Xin laughed, and said, "Shao Zhongxiang used to wield one of the six famous swords of Fengxiang sword school, the Hundred Shadow Sword, but I think he has some ability. If he had this sword, I would definitely not be his opponent, but later I heard that this sword was taken away by Sect Master Chen, and his cultivation is only about sixty percent of his original strength. I am confident that I can still fight him."
Ceng Conglun nodded, and said, "That Daoist Zhang was able to defeat him, so he must be quite capable."
At this moment, someone shouted, "What's the point of saying all this, there are more than a hundred Daoists here, are we supposed to be afraid of that Daoist Zhang?"
Ceng Conglun smiled, and said, "You're right."
Among the people invited by Daoist Nun Wei, there were more than a dozen Yuanying cultivators, and in Dong Sheng Continent, they could already be considered as quite a force.
Elder Xin looked at Daoist Nun Wei, who was sitting at the side without saying a word, and said, "Daoist Wei, we have been staying here for many days, eating and drinking for free every day, if we continue to stay, I'm afraid we will become unwelcome guests."
Ceng Conglun quickly said, "What is Elder Xin saying? These days, I have been discussing Dao with everyone, and I have really benefited a lot."
Daoist Nun Wei said, "Alright, since the flood has receded, we won't have to say that our Xiao Cang State people are taking advantage of others."
On the second day, more than a hundred people in Fire Hole Mountain flew on their own flying lights, heading towards Cang Zhu Peak.
At this moment, there were two people standing on the heavens, and they saw this scene. One of them was Song Chuyuan, who had been away for a year, and the other was a lame Daoist, but he had an elegant appearance, and there was a spirit hidden in his eyes.
Song Chuyuan thought to himself, "Looking at the direction of this group of people, they are indeed heading towards Shenwu Mountain. If I go back and report this to Sect Master Zhang, he might let me live in the future. "
When he signed the spell contract, it was only limited to sixteen years, and he really didn't know how Zhang Yan would deal with him once the agreed time was up, so he could only think of a way to prove his usefulness.
A few days ago, he returned from South Vast Sea Realm, and he came here to visit a good friend, wanting to convince him to return to Hanyuan Sect with him, but he didn't expect to accidentally hear Daoist Nun Wei inviting fellow Daoists. She wanted to go to Hanyuan Sect to pick a fight. Therefore, he stayed behind to gather information.
At this moment, the lame Daoist said, "Daoist Song, since I want to rely on Sect Master Zhang, why don't I help him resolve this crisis?"
Song Chuyuan couldn't help but turn pale, and he said, "Daoist Tang, there are more than ten Yuanying cultivators there. How can we stop them? "
The lame Daoist smiled mysteriously, and he said, "There's no need to stop them directly. Daoist can just watch my ability, and follow me."
He turned around and flew away using the astral winds. Song Chuyuan hesitated for a moment, and he followed.
The two of them cultivated above the heavens. They were naturally much faster than Daoist Nun Wei's group, and two hours later, they landed in a valley with luxuriant weeds.
The lame Daoist took out a bamboo pole, and he looked at the ground twice. A coffin popped out from the ground, and he opened the coffin lid. He saw an old cultivator lying inside, and his breathing was slightly uneven. He went up and bowed, and he said, "Daoist. It's all because of your body. "
After saying that, he took out a talisman paper and stuck it on the Daoist's forehead, and he took out a banner from his sleeve. There was a red ribbon tied around the pole, and there was a copper ring hanging below it. It was obvious that there was a soul coiled around the banner, and it was exactly the same as the old Daoist's.
He made a spell, and the banner waved, and the talisman paper instantly sank into the center of the old Daoist's forehead. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
His gaze was originally a little confused, but after a while, it became clearer. The lame Daoist hurriedly made a spell.
The old Daoist couldn't help but reveal a struggling expression, but after a while, he gradually returned to a blank expression. Then, he tapped his feet, and he rode a astral wind, and flew into the sky.
As Daoist Nun Wei and the others were walking, a ray of light appeared in front of them. Then, a middle-aged Daoist who looked to be in his forties appeared, and he blocked in front of them, and shouted, "All of you, stop right there!"
Ceng Conglun looked at the old Daoist's robe, and recognized it as the robe of an elder of Zhong Tai Sect. He was shocked, and he signaled to the people around him, and he went forward alone, and bowed, "Daoist, why are you blocking our way?"
The old Daoist clasped his hands behind his back, and he said coldly, "I am Zhong Tai Patrol Inspector Zou Xiao, who are you all?"
Ceng Conglun said, "I am a Qi Practitioner from Fire Hole Mountain. Today, I and a fellow Daoist are passing through your esteemed land, and we are going to Shenwu Mountain to visit a friend."
The old Daoist looked at him, and he said, "Do you all have a talisman?"
Ceng Conglun was puzzled, and he asked, "What talisman?"
The old Daoist said, "The sect master has decreed that if two Yuanying cultivators travel within the borders of Chu, they must have a Travel Talisman. If you don't have one, you are not allowed to pass through here."
Ceng Conglun was stunned, and he said, "There is such a rule?"
Daoist Nun Wei looked at him impatiently, and she went forward, and said, "I am a Xiao Cang State …"
The old Daoist interrupted her, and he said, "No matter who you are, I will not stop you if you have the talisman. If you don't have one, leave quickly."
Daoist Nun Wei didn't expect him to not give her any face, and she immediately frowned. Ceng Conglun saw that the situation was not good, and he said in a low voice, "This is Zhong Tai Sect after all, you must not be rash."
Not only him, the other cultivators also came forward to persuade Daoist Nun Wei, afraid that she would have a conflict with them. Zhong Tai Sect was after all one of the five major sects, and although they suffered a lot from fighting with Xuan Yue Sect, they were still not someone they could afford to offend.
Ceng Conglun said, "Since Zhong Tai Sect has such a rule, then we can only take a detour by sea."
If it was just a Yuanying cultivator, he could go to the Heavenly Layer, but there were many disciples around him, so it was not feasible.
Fortunately, Daoren said, "It will only take ten days to travel by sea, Daoist Wei, there is no need to become enemies with Zhong Tai Sect because of this."
Someone was worried, and he said, "But there is the Python Tribe on the North Sea, could it be …"
Fortunately, Daoren said, "Daoist Friend, you are worrying too much. Although the Python Tribe is entrenched in the North Sea, it is tens of thousands of miles away from the Shenwu Mountain. Moreover, the disaster of the tidal whirlpool has just passed, even if Daoist Dongtian Zhenhai Fubo is here, he won't have time to deal with us, so there is no need to worry."
After the group finished their discussion, they turned west, and prepared to go around the sea to the Shenwu Mountain.
Song Chuyuan watched them leave, but he was overjoyed, and he turned back, and said, "Daoist Tang, we really tricked them."
The lame Daoist said, "This is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause, but we need to delay it for a few more days. We need to quickly report to Sect Master Zhang, and prepare early."
Song Chuyuan nodded in agreement.
