When Ji Daoren heard Elder You mention his ancestor's magic treasure, he was also moved. He took a few steps back and said in a low voice, "Could it be the Chiyuan Constitution Painting?"
Elder You's expression was slightly reserved as he said, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Ji to have heard of it?"
How could Ji Daoren not know about it? The Chiyuan Constitution Painting was passed down by Master Dami. Sealed inside were the three divine power edicts that Master Dami personally cast before he ascended. They were divided into three edicts: Break, Guard, and Fix. They were given to the younger generation to protect their lives. Thinking of this, he didn't dare to underestimate this person anymore.
But he didn't know that although the edicts were powerful, they had already used two after thousands of years.
The Guard edict was tricked by Elder Jinzhong when Zhongtai first opened the sect. As for the Break edict, it was used to deal with the Corpse Cult's magic treasure, the Lifeless Treasure Coffin. Under the pressure of Zhongtai and Xuanyue sects, You clan had no choice but to take it out. Now, they only had the most inconspicuous Fix edict in their hands.
Elder You didn't come this time because he was threatened by Hui Xuan.
In the past, when the two powers of the North Continent stood side by side, You clan could still deal with the two sects. But after the two sects merged into one, their position was somewhat awkward.
Especially after Xuanyue lost in the battle, Chunyu Ji had sent people to secretly plot. Later, Zhongtai seemed to have noticed and his attitude towards You clan became colder and colder. He even found a chance to expel many cultivators with the surname You.
Under such circumstances, You clan was also eager to protect themselves. They originally had the intention to rely on the three sects of the South. But after thousands of years, the clan's foundation was in the north, and they couldn't just abandon it.
Just as they were hesitating, Hui Xuan ancestor told them about the plan to enter the continent. Without any other way out, they wanted to try to ally with him. In order to show their sincerity, they came to kill Zhang Yan together.
Hui Xuan ancestor said, "That Daoist Zhang will probably come out soon. Let's not delay and set up the formation flags first. Since this plan was suggested by Fellow Ji, I believe you are already prepared. "
Setting up the array flags was not an easy task. It also required a clever concealment technique. Otherwise, the person being schemed against would sense that something was amiss and be prepared in advance, making it very difficult to succeed.
Ji Daoren didn't say anything. Instead, he lifted his sleeve and took out a formation flag. He shook it against the wind and unfurled the flag. It wasn't an ordinary flag that was about half a foot long. Instead, it was about five feet long, almost as tall as a person. He stroked the golden embroidered flag with his hand and murmured an incantation. Soon, a cloud of black mist emerged from his palm. In the blink of an eye, the flag was dyed black and couldn't be seen anymore. He handed it over and said, "I have used a secret technique in my sect to refine this. When I set up the formation, I will use this as the main flag. If one's cultivation is not higher than mine, they will not be able to detect it."
Hui Xuan took it and fiddled with it for a moment before passing it to Qu Changzhi and said, "You and Lian niangzi go and arrange it together."
Lady Lian curled her lips and said, "This servant doesn't know how to play with formation flags."
Hui Xuan Elder said, "Lian niangzi must be joking. The Lian family is a big clan of Dong Sheng and there was once a formation master in the sect. How can a mere formation flag be a problem for you? Please do it quickly. "
Although he looked amiable on the surface, the words that came out of his mouth were unquestionable.
Ji Daoren said coldly, "If you don't obey, that means you are not willing to put in any effort. What's the use of keeping you?"
Lady Lian shuddered. Her expression changed a few times before she finally chose to submit. She bit her lips and took the formation flag before turning to leave.
Hui Xuan Elder said to Qu Changzhi, "Go up and keep an eye on this girl. Keep a close eye on her and don't let her do anything."
Qu Changzhi nodded his head and followed.
Lian Niangzi was indeed an expert. In less than a dozen breaths, he had determined the position and laid out the hundreds of formation flags. He linked them together to form a formation full of hidden danger. Finally, he tossed the main flag into the formation. All the spiritual energy was concealed and not the slightest trace of it could be seen.
After the two of them returned, Hui Xuan Elder said to Qu Changzhi again, "Disciple, once he comes out later and is restrained by Fellow Daoist You's spell, you will go up and cut off his escape route."
After instructing, he turned his head and said to Lady Lian amiably, "Lian niangzi has just entered Yuanying and your talisman is not suitable for you. Fighting head on is not your forte. You just have to keep an eye on the situation above and see if there are any outsiders here. If there is a chance, you can make a move to restrain him."
Lady Lian originally thought that this person wanted her to fight at the front and in that case, she would definitely die. She did not expect him to be so easy to talk to. Although she did not understand the intention behind this, it was more than what she wished for. She said, "This servant understands."
She curtsied and rode the wind towards the sky.
Ji Daoren said coldly, "I see that this girl is resisting. With such arrangements, aren't you afraid that she will take advantage of the chaos to escape?"
Hui Xuan Elder chuckled and said, "With the restriction that this girl personally set up here, no matter the success or failure of the matter today, she will not be able to escape responsibility. Moreover, the You family has already joined hands with us. Even if she escapes, where can she go?"
Elder You interrupted, "It does not matter if Lady Lian is here or not. With my ancestor's edict here, do you still have to worry about not being able to take care of that Daoist Zhang?"
Hui Xuan Elder smiled and said, "As what Fellow Daoist said, that Daoist Zhang will definitely not be able to resist Daoist Zhang's edict. But it is not a bad thing to take extra precautions."
Elder You's eyebrows raised. From his point of view, this was just an unnecessary move. Once this edict is issued, it can fix a person on the spot and no talisman or Dao technique can be used. But since he insisted on it, he did not say anymore.
The few of them discussed for a while and to prevent Zhang Yan from sensing their Qi activity, they all retreated far away. Once he came out, they would make their move.
At this moment, Zhang Yan was returning to the surface, but he did not go back the way he came. Just Now when he came, he was in case he missed something, so he followed the prescribed order and followed the path. Now that he came out, there was no need to do so. He used the Earth Escape Technique and went straight up.
Not long after, he escaped out of the underground palace. This place was two miles away from the pit he came from, but he inadvertently avoided that restriction.
With a flick of his sleeves, he rode the strong wind and flew towards the sky.
He had not gone far when his expression changed. He sensed several Qi activity lying in wait at the side. There were even a few that he was familiar with. His thoughts turned and he smiled coldly. He slowed down his body and turned around. Casting his gaze down, he said, "I wonder which Fellow Daoist is here to welcome I."
When Elder Hui Xuan and Ji Daoren saw that he did not go back the way he came, they knew something was wrong. Now that he had exposed their whereabouts, it was obvious that they could not act according to their original plan.
Both of them were not people who would lose their composure in the face of a battle. Since the previous plan did not work, then they could only turn the dark into the light. They leaped out from their hiding places and surrounded him as they slowly came forward.
Zhang Yan's gaze turned and saw that among the four people in front of him, other than the white-clothed Daoist, Elder Hui Xuan, Qu Changzhi and Elder You were old acquaintances. He smiled and said, "It is indeed acquaintances. I see that all of you have killing intent in your hearts. I believe you are not here to reminisce."
Elder Hui Xuan sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you can cultivate in the Shenwu Mountain. We will not make things difficult for you. It is just that you have interfered in the matters of the two sects and hindered our great plan. If you are willing to make a vow that after you return, you will close your residence and ignore the secular affairs, I can make the decision to let you go. What do you think?"
Qu Changzhi did not speak at the side. He was originally following his master's lead and naturally had no objections. As for Elder You, he was invited by Elder Hui Xuan to do his best as an ally. But if there was no need to fight to the death, of course he would be happy to see it happen.
Ji Daoren was anxious. His purpose of coming here was to snatch the Nine-Yellow Star Pearl. If Zhang Yan really agreed to the matter, Elder Hui Xuan might let him go. Then how would he be able to snatch the pearl by himself? Therefore, he would not allow that to happen. Without waiting for Zhang Yan to speak, he suddenly shouted and struck a golden light over. At the same time, he said, "Why are you talking so much with him? Attack!"
But just as he made his move, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Elder Hui Xuan's calm expression, as if he had already expected that he would do so. He was stunned at first and then suddenly came to a realization. He secretly scolded, "Old fox!"
Why would Elder Hui Xuan want to reconcile? It was obvious that he did not want to be the first to fight. So he purposely said those words to provoke him to go forward first. But he was not aware of it and fell into Daoren's trick.
However, since he'd made a move, he was unable to shrink back, so he could only secretly remember this debt and settle it in the future. He snorted and seized the opportunity when the treasure struck out to shake his shoulder, causing the vital energy in the surroundings to change, and he'd already executed the Heaven and Earth Restriction Technique.
Qu Changzhi and Elder You were not to be outdone. At the same time, they struck out the talismans that they had long prepared.
The former struck out a white light. The tip was three feet high and the tail was ten feet long. It was wide at the front and narrow at the back. There was a small silver bean the size of a thumb in it. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to see it clearly. The latter, on the other hand, was a dozen or so hexagonal spears. They spun around in a blur. From the outside, they looked like cold flames.
At this moment, only Elder Hui Xuan did not make a move. He stared at Zhang Yan motionlessly, as if he was looking for a good opportunity.
Zhang Yan saw a golden light fly near him. Before he could block it, he felt his body sink. He knew that the other party had used the Heaven and Earth Imprisonment Technique.
He had fought several times with third layer Nascent Soul cultivators, so he was already prepared. He calmly guided his flying sword, and a sword light leaped out, suddenly exploding like a rainbow. In an instant, several tens of sword lights splashed out, blocking all the magic treasures. Not only that, with a thought, another ten sword lights turned around and flew towards the four people to kill.
Daoist Ji opened his mouth and spat out a copper stick from his abdomen. It had a pointed tip, a square tail, and a hole at the top. When it reached the top of the sky, he shook it and a waterfall of fine threads burst forth like spider silk. The threads flew up and wrapped around the sword light.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed slightly. He could see that there was something strange about this item. He did not persist and with a thought, he retracted the sword lights.
Ji Daoren snorted. This item of his was the Thousand Snare Heart Thread. It was made from the silk of a thousand year white spider and the frozen mud of the ground lake. It was best used against swords. Once entangled by it, one would not be able to break free in a short period of time. He had thought that Zhang Yan did not know about it so he could scheme against him. In this way, he would be able to break his Sword Escape Technique. The battle afterwards would be much easier. He did not think that the other party would not lose his caution and did not fall into the trap. He turned his head and said, "Why are you still not making a move!"
On the surface, he was shouting at Elder Hui Xuan. But in reality, he was urging Elder You to use the Imperial Statuary Diagram.
At this moment, Elder You was also anxious. The Imperial Statuary Diagram could only be activated when he was within three hundred feet. But his cultivation was only at the first layer of Yuanying. At this moment, he was also enveloped by the Forbidden Lock Technique. His movement was not as smooth as usual. Although it was not targeted at him, it was still extremely strenuous.
Elder Hui Xuan saw that and saw his difficulty. He flew forward and patted his back, transmitting his voice, "Fellow Daoist You, quickly make a move!"
Elder You felt a spirit enter his body from behind. His body instantly lightened. With a shout, he suddenly dashed out and was within three hundred feet in an instant. He took out a talisman diagram and was about to open it.
At this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at him. Elder You's body shook violently and he was unable to move. His face was filled with shock.
Elder Hui Xuan's eyes shone brightly. He let out a whistle and also used the Heaven and Earth Forbidden Lock Technique. At the same time, he shouted, "Fellow Daoist Ji, quickly help him."
How could Ji Daoren not know his intention? He pointed downwards and Elder You's hands and feet suddenly loosened. He knew that the opportunity was gone in the blink of an eye. He secretly gritted his teeth and raised the diagram to face Zhang Yan. Using force with both hands, he suddenly pulled it open!
