Chu Muran glanced at the map and thought to himself, "Passed down by Grandmaster Jinzhong? But I don't know what it is. Even Hui Xuan coveted it, so it must be something extraordinary. "
Zhang Yan noticed Chu Muran's expression and did not intend to hide it from him. He said, "Rumor has it that before Grandmaster Damu ascended, he hid a true weapon in the North Sea. This map points to the place where the treasure is kept."
Chu Muran exclaimed, "True weapon?"
But then he looked at King Ying suspiciously. His meaning was clear, "Since it's a true weapon, why didn't Zhongtai take it himself?"
King Ying was afraid that he would misunderstand and quickly explained the situation.
Chu Muran was relieved and said eagerly, "Head Shixiong is not a cultivator of this continent. Why not give it a try?"
Zhang Yan smiled, "It's not that easy."
He waved his sleeve and swept the map off the table. It floated in front of Chu Muran and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother, take a look."
Chu Muran was startled. After a moment of hesitation, he took the map and carefully spread it in front of him. He looked at it for a while and raised his head in surprise, "The hidden place is in the old Xianluo Sect?"
Zhang Yan smiled, "Yes."
Chu Muran was disappointed and said, "Now that the North Sea is occupied by the Python Tribe, this treasure is not something that can be obtained now. What's the use of this map? It will only burn my hands. "
King Ying heard his unfriendly tone and panicked.
After the Dragon Pillar Tournament, although Xuan Yue was destroyed, many of the original guardians and envoys were still around. If he wanted to mix the disciples of the two sects, he would have to rely on Zhang Yan for many things. If this matter was self-defeating. He knew what would happen to him.
He wanted to defend himself but did not know what to say. He was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.
Zhang Yan saw that he was restless and comforted him with a smile, "Xiang Zhanfu has already told us the details. He will not blame King Ying."
King Ying said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Zhang Yan saw that he was still panicking. He thought for a while and said, "Someone, find a secluded courtyard for King Ying. Settle down. "
Jing You walked up and said: "Your Royal Highness Ying Wang. Please follow me. "
"Yes, yes." The King of Ying stood up anxiously, bowed and left.
After he left. Chu Muran said with a regretful expression, "I thought that I, Hanyuan, would be able to obtain a supreme treasure. Unexpectedly, it was the Flower in the Mirror. The moon in the water. "
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Not necessarily. If you really want to give it a try, it's not impossible. It's just that the time isn't right yet. Besides, with this map in my hands, there's no need to worry about the treasure escaping. There's no need to rush to get it. "
Chu Muran nodded repeatedly and said, "Senior Martial Brother is wise. Real treasures have their own spirits. If it is really fated with me, I will definitely be able to obtain it. After all, the Python Tribe is a powerful force. It is best not to provoke them if possible."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and did not deny it. He only asked, "Have you completed the task that I asked you to do?"
Chu Muran quickly said, "I have followed Senior Martial Brother's instructions. In the past few days, I have built hundreds of altars along the cliff shore from west to east. I have also set up a formation to lock the gate. I have also moved twelve sects to this place so that they can guard the gate."
Zhang Yan said approvingly, "You have done a good job, I will reward you."
Chu Muran quickly said, "I dare not take credit for such a small matter."
Zhang Yan said, "Junior Martial Brother Chu, there is no need to belittle yourself. I have been away from the sect for several months. You and your two Junior Martial Brothers have managed the sect well without any oversight. I have seen it with my own eyes. You can choose a few treasures from the mountain's storehouse."
Compared to when Zhang Yan first arrived, the Cold Abyss Sect had expanded more than ten times. Chu Muran had also recruited many disciples, but the number of treasures he could bestow to them was too little. When he saw Zhang Yan move a storehouse, he wanted to ask for a few treasures, but he found it difficult to ask. Now that he heard it, he could not help but be overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother. Thank you, Senior Martial Brother."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I will be going into closed-door cultivation for the next few days. The affairs of the sect will still be managed by the three of you."
Chu Muran was startled. He thought about it and said, "Senior Martial Brother, Cold Abyss Sect now has eight more immortal cities. I don't know how to deal with them. Senior Martial Brother, please tell me."
He was half happy and half worried about the sudden appearance of eight immortal cities. According to the situation in Dongsheng Continent, each immortal city should have at least one Yuanying Perfected Person in charge to ensure that nothing would go wrong. However, Zhang Yan was the only one in the Cold Abyss Sect who had such a cultivation. Even with the addition of Zhang Boyan, the lame Taoist, and Song Chuyuan, they only took up half of the remaining four cities. If someone was plotting against them, they would not be able to look after them.
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and said, "After the battle at the Gathering of Dragon Pillars, many of the Northern Yuanying cultivators were injured or killed. Cold Abyss Sect does not have any strong enemies outside, so there is no need to worry about this."
Although he said that, Chu Muran was still a little worried.
As they were talking, a boy came in with a letter in his hand. He said, "Sect Master, there is a letter from a Daoist. He said that he wants to give it to Sect Master personally."
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and released his spiritual opportunity to check. Seeing that the letter was not tampered with, he used his mana to grab it. He opened it and saw that there was no signature on the letter. He asked, "What does the Daoist look like?"
The boy said, "That person left in a hurry, so the disciples guarding the gate did not see him clearly. After he sent the letter, he went to the Extreme Heaven. He seemed to be a Perfected Person."
Zhang Yan's eyes moved slightly. He opened the letter and shook it open. After a few glances, he couldn't help but smile and pass it to Chu Muran. He said, "Junior Martial Brother, take it and read it yourself."
Chu Muran took it in surprise, but when he read it, his eyes widened.
The person who wrote the letter was the former Chief Envoy of Xuanyue Mountain, Chunyu Ji. In the letter, he said that as long as Zhang Yan no longer interfered with the matters between the two sects, he was willing to pay tribute every year. After reading it, he stood up and bowed. He sighed deeply and said, "Today, I know Senior Martial Brother's prowess. Junior Martial Brother's previous worries were for nothing."
Dongsheng South, Yucui Mountain.
Under a green pine tree, Hui Xuan Grand Master was playing chess with a green-faced, long-bearded Daoist. In less than a moment, the Daoist gave a strange cry and gave up. He then cursed a few times and tidied up the chessboard, wanting to play again.
Hui Xuan Grand Master put the Ruyi in his hand and stopped him. He said, "Fellow Daoist, you have lost seven games in a row. You have lost three talismans and four bottles of pills. Let's call it a day."
The green-faced Daoist was not willing. He glared at him and said, "No, I have to win a game against you today no matter what."
Hui Xuan Grand Master shook his head. In the past, the green-faced Daoist had never won a game of chess. Today, for some reason, the green-faced Daoist insisted on winning a game. It was as if he felt his talismans and pills were too hot to handle. He sighed and said, "You know you can't do it but you still do it. Why do you have to be like this?"
The green-faced Daoist looked at him and said, "Yes, I know I can't do it but I still do it. Why do I have to be like this?
Hui Xuan Grand Master made a sound of agreement and raised his head to look at him. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have put in a lot of effort."
The green-faced Daoist snorted and said coldly, "If it wasn't for the fact that you saved my disciple's life, whether you live or die, what does it have to do with me?"
He stretched out his hand to push the Ruyi away and swept the chess pieces on the ground. He got up and walked towards a cave abode on the cliff.
Hui Xuan Grand Master was expressionless. He knocked the Ruyi on the chessboard and all the chess pieces returned to their positions. He muttered to himself, "But one more game."
At this moment, there was a flash of light in the sky. Qu Changzhi landed in front of him and said, "Master, disciple is back."
Hui Xuan Grand Master made a sound of agreement and asked, "How is it?"
Qu Changzhi said angrily, "Bai Daoren is not like the others. He treats disciple with good tea and good wine but every time we talk about serious matters, he always evades the topic. When disciple came back, he said it's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that with people like Cult Master Hanyuan around, it's hard for him to persuade the senior and junior brothers in the sect."
Hui Xuan Grand Master was not surprised and said indifferently, "He said the truth."
He originally wanted to instigate the three southern sects to pressure Zhongtai and then think of a way to lure the Python tribe in. But during the battle at the dragon pillar, the supernatural powers and mana that Zhang Yan revealed greatly shocked the cultivators of the three southern sects. Before they understand his attitude, no one dared to relax.
Hui Xuan Grand Master's eyes revealed a frightening radiance and said, "Looks like if we want to succeed, we must get rid of that Daoist Zhang."
Qu Changzhi said, "Master is waiting for the Python tribe to ask for help?"
Hui Xuan Grand Master shook his head and said, "It's too late. They can wait but I can't."
He had cultivated for nine hundred years and his lifespan was almost up. If he did not find the opportunity to break through, he would definitely have to reincarnate.
But he did not come from a big sect and did not have the method of inheritance. He could only place his hopes on the true weapon left by Founding Master Daimu.
He got Luo Jiangyu's promise that as long as he could help the Python tribe settle in Dongsheng, not only would he help him get the true weapon, he could also ask the tribe's Elder Ancestor Luo Mengze to come forward and subdue him.
After all, this was a chance. If he succeeded, he would reach the sky in one step.
He was a person who cherished his body and was not willing to risk his life to fight with others. But the situation forced him to make a decision.
Qu Changzhi could also feel Hui Xuan Grand Master's determination but he was a little perturbed. Zhang Yan killed over twenty Yuanying cultivators in a row and defeated Rong Junzhong in a head-on fight. Just thinking about it made one shudder. Other than the people from the Heavenly Abode coming forward, he really could not think of anyone who could stop him.
Hui Xuan Grand Master said, "As long as that Daoist Zhang has not achieved the Heavenly Abode, then there will be weaknesses. I have already found a plan to get rid of him."
Qu Changzhi said, "How does benefactor want to do it?"
Hui Xuan Grand Master said, "I want to set up a trap and lure this person here. Then I will invite two Daoist friends who have similar skills to me to get rid of this person together."
This idea sounded ordinary but as long as the plan was too ingenious, not only was it not easy to execute, there could not be any mistakes. Therefore the success of the plan depended on whether one could grasp the crux of the matter.
Qu Changzhi thought for a while and said, "Benefactor, there are two difficulties here. One is how to lure that Daoist Zhang to take the bait, and the other is where to find the people who will cooperate with us?"
Hui Xuan Grand Master said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, Zhongtai Sect sent a letter saying that Qiao Huanjuan and that Zhao Ru are searching for three spiritual herbs to please that Daoist Zhang. I think that these three spiritual herbs must be extremely important to him and we can do something about it. As for the people who will cooperate with us, I have already thought of two people but it will not be easy to invite them. I will need to pay them a visit personally."
