As soon as the hundreds of cultivators appeared, the entire golden platform went silent.
At this moment, there were already more than ten thousand cultivators who had rushed over from all directions to attend the banquet gathered below the stage. Seeing that the person who came this time was actually able to cause the Sect Leader of Zhongtai to personally come out to welcome him, most of them had already guessed who the person who came was. They all stared at the sky without blinking, wanting to see what the rumored person looked like.
He Yizhu cast her gaze over and saw that the person in front was a young Daoist in a black robe. He had an imposing appearance and his eyes were filled with divine light. Around him, spiritual waves surged and surged. The Heavenly Cloud above his head suddenly separated and closed, gathering and dispersing. It was extremely strange.
He Yizhu's expression turned cold and thought to himself, "Looks like this Daoist Zhang will be able to enter the third degree realm in another hundred years. With this person helping Zhong Tai from the back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain an advantage on the dragon pillar this time. "
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but worry. If this person joined forces with Zhong Tai, it would be a great threat to the three sects of the south. He couldn't help but think about how to move them away.
After Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Yan a few times, his gaze landed on the two girls behind him who looked similar.
He saw that the two girls were as beautiful as jade, their skin was as white as snow, and their talent was excellent. Like Fan Yinghui, he sighed and said, "This Daoist Zhang has two good disciples."
This time, because Zhong Tai invited the sects of Dong Sheng, Zhang Yan didn't go alone. The leaders of the 36 sects of Shen Wu Mountain also came with him. As his personal disciples, the Wang sisters also came along out of courtesy.
They were originally citizens of the nine cities. Since their ancestors lived in the Qincang School, they had been nourished by the spirit lake since they were young. Their talent was naturally not something ordinary people could compare to.
When Zhang Yan came out of the Lofty Cloud Tower, he looked around and waved his sleeves. A light gushed out from under his feet and he floated down.
Sect Leader Qiao quickly walked up and cupped his hands, saying, "Sect Leader Zhang, everyone in Zhong Tai has been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhang Yan smiled and returned the greeting. He said politely, "My Hanyuan is just a small remote sect. I can't accept such a big gift. "
Sect Leader Qiao hastily said, "I am worthy, I am worthy."
While the two were talking, they heard a voice. "Daoist Zhang, may I ask what the Heavenly Palace is? Where did you get it? "
Zhang Yan looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the person who spoke was ordinary. There was nothing special about it. But on top of it were the three spiritual clouds, like leaves, not exposed. He asked, "May I know how to address this Taoist?"
Qiao Huanjuan stretched out her hand and gestured, saying with a smile, "Come, come, let me introduce you to Zhenren. This is Ku Xin Sect's Sect Master, Zhenren He."
"So it's He Zhangmen." Zhang Yan raised his hand and bowed, then smiled and said, "Let me introduce He Zhangmen. This item is called the 'Towering Cloud Palace'. It can be used for walking and can also be used as a cultivation abode. It was made by a capable person from my sect."
He Yizhu raised her eyebrows and said, "As far as I know, the person who can make this treasure must have his own means, and he must have used an Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace. Among the four big sects of Dong Sheng, we don't have such a place. Zhenren Zhang is being modest by calling himself a small sect."
Mao Wuwei said, "He Zhangmen, have you forgotten that Zhenren Zhang and Zhenren Shen Baishuang came from the same sect? Zhenren Shen established his sect in Dong Sheng, and it has been hundreds of years since then. He should be considered a cultivator of Dong Sheng."
He Yizhu pretended to be unhappy and said, "Brother Qiao, you're wrong. The Python Tribe has also established a foothold in the Northern Sea Realm. Are they also cultivators of Dong Sheng?"
Seeing the two of them echoing each other, they pointed out that Zhang Yan's background was not simple, and that he was not a cultivator of this continent, so he should not be easily trusted. In particular, they deliberately spoke loudly so that the cultivators below the stage could also hear them. Their intentions were self-evident.
Sect Leader Qiao frowned at first, then relaxed and said in a slightly cold voice, "Demons are demons, humans are humans. How can I not distinguish between here and the outside? Hanyuan is also a cultivator of the Xuanmen Dao, not a demon or a different species. Sect Leaders, you're worrying too much."
At this time, Zhang Yan laughed and said, "According to what I know, in the past ten thousand years, there have only been two Patriarchs in the Dong Sheng Continent. One was Patriarch Darma. After he ascended, he left behind the Zhong Tai and Xuan Yue Sects. The other was Patriarch Jing Cang, who founded the Xiao Cang Realm. As for the other major sects, they all came from other continents. In detail, I, Hanyuan, am not one step behind them."
He Yizhu's expression froze. If they were to talk about the root cause, it was true that the two sects that Zhang Yan mentioned were natives of Dong Sheng. As for the cultivators of these three sects, they all crossed the sea from the Donglai Continent thousands of years ago, and then occupied the mountains to establish their sects. If they were to think about it carefully, they could not be considered to be from this continent. Even the evil sects that had been destroyed long ago were established much earlier than the three sects.
But it was also because of this that the three sects were even more vigilant against people from other continents.
Seeing that the situation was slightly tense, Chen Yuan, who had not spoken all this while, spoke, "Sect Head Qiao is right. Since we are all Xuan Sect disciples, why is there a need to distinguish who is close or who is distant. He Zhangmen, don't you think so?"
He Yizhu could not see through what Chen Yuan was planning. But since things had come to this point, it was not good to continue pestering him. She reluctantly nodded and said, "Sect Head Chen is right."
Sect Head Qiao laughed loudly, the unhappiness on his face was swept away. He said, "It is rare that the leaders of the four major sects are gathered here. We should drink to our heart's content. There is no need to talk about these minor details. Everyone, follow me to the banquet."
While everyone was drinking, Elder Hui Xuan and Ji Daoren had already arrived outside the Southwest Dragon Pillar.
The Yuanying cultivators of Zhongtai Sect had all gone to the banquet. There were only a few disciples here, so naturally they could not stop the two of them.
The two rays of light circled a few times in front of the dragon pillar. Just in front of a stone cave surrounded by broken stones, Ji Daoren revealed himself. He looked at the ground. There was a pit that had long been cleaned out. It was dark and bottomless. An indescribable expression surfaced in his eyes.
But he was not in a hurry to go down. Instead, he looked back at the 'Victory Song Flag' floating in the sky and said sarcastically, "Fellow Daoist Hui Xuan, it seems that Zhongtai is indeed worried about you."
Sect Head Qiao had placed the Victory Song Flag here not only to intimidate the cultivators of the three sects, but also for another purpose.
According to the previous plan, no matter what Hui Xuan got, he had to leave it behind while he would escape far away and pretend to steal the book.
And if he had other intentions and did not act according to the previous plan, then this treasure flag would stop him. Before long, many Zhongtai Sect cultivators would rush over.
Hui Xuan old ancestor said indifferently, "How would I not know what Qiao Huanjuan is planning. I have already expected it."
Ji Daoren asked, "In that case, Fellow Daoist should have a way to solve it?
”
Hui Xuan old ancestor said in a deep voice, "This is very easy. After getting the Daoist book, if someone comes to receive us, there is no harm in handing it over. Once the flag door is opened, we can try to get it back. Moreover, he would definitely not think that there is still Fellow Daoist here. With the two of us working together, even if Du Shixun came personally, it would also be useless."
Ji Daoren was stunned. He did not think that the method was so simple. But thinking again, it was not a bad method. Qiao Huanjuan had made so many arrangements, he would definitely not let them leave. As long as the flag array was opened, it would be much easier.
But he still had a question. He said, "This place is only three hundred miles away from the place of the banquet. I heard that Daoist Zhang is skilled in the Sword Escape Technique. In no time, he would be able to catch up with us. Does Fellow Daoist have a way to deal with him?"
Hui Xuan old ancestor said expressionlessly, "My disciple will naturally bring up the rear for us."
Daoist Ji glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. Then, he suddenly smiled and said, "Good. Those who want to achieve great things don't bother with trifles. So what if I give up a disciple? I'll just find another one in the future. However, have you thought about where you'll go after this is done?"
The location of Zhong Tai's banquet this time was very particular. It happened to be on the east side of the dragon pillar. This meant that after they succeeded, they could only choose from the North, South and West.
And the North was the Shen Wu Mountain. Now it was sealed by the Cold Abyss Sect. If they wanted to go there, they could only escape from the Extreme Heaven.
But he was not willing to do so. Although the escape to the Extreme Heaven was unobstructed, it was also unconcealed and would be easily detected by cultivators of the same cultivation.
And according to what he knew, there were at least three Yuanying hangers-on in the Shen Wu Mountain. Especially one of them had strange Dao techniques and high attainments in escape techniques. He might not be able to win against them. With the help of the escape formation, it was not impossible to delay them for a while. That would be enough for Zhang Yan to catch up.
As for the South, that was the land of the three sects of the South. If they went there, the three sects would not let them off and they could not go either.
So there was only one choice left.
Hui Xuan old ancestor said in a deep voice, "Head to the West."
Ji Daoren stared at him and said, "Have you thought it through? The West is an important place for Zhong Tai."
Hui Xuan old ancestor said calmly, "Those who have some cultivation in Zhong Tai are all at the banquet. As long as we do not head to Hope Voice Mountain, there is nothing that can threaten the two of us."
"Then what next, where should we go?"
Hui Xuan old ancestor seemed to have a card up his sleeve and said confidently, "The two of us will not stop and head to the West Sea. When we reach the West Ji Sea boundary, we will pretend to go around to the North. Since Qiao Huanjuan knows about my relationship with the Python tribe, she will definitely think that I will go to the Python tribe to seek shelter. Most likely she will send people to intercept us in the North and I will do the opposite."
Ji Daoren's heart moved and he said, "Head to the South?"
Hui Xuan old ancestor nodded and said, "That's right. I think Fellow Daoist has also thought of it. We will go around the South Vast Sea from the West Ji Sea and finally head to the East Vast Sea. There is a Thousand Islands Reef that can go straight to Xiao Cang State. As long as we can hide in there, no matter how the four sects search, they will not be able to find us."
"Xiao Cang State, Xiao Cang State."
Ji Daoren murmured it twice. For thousands of years, although many people entered Xiao Cang State, but no one knew where the real mountain gate was. After all, this state formed its own world and it was left behind by an ascended Zhenren. At least in Dong Sheng State, no one was able to find it. He could not help but look over and said, "I did not think that Daoist Hui Xuan has such ability to even be able to persuade the master of Xiao Cang State."
Hui Xuan old ancestor said, "The Da Mi Calligraphy, who does not wish to have a look?"
Ji Daoren smiled mysteriously, "The Da Mi Calligraphy?" He shook his head and with a leap, he landed into the hole on the ground and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Hui Xuan old ancestor frowned and thought for a moment. He first scanned the surroundings and then turned his mana and turned into a beam of light that shot downwards.
