In the main hall, Zhang Boyan, Goh Su-min, and Senchu sat in a circle in front of the Yongming Well.
At this moment, both Wu and Shen had terrified and bewildered expressions. Earlier, even though they'd intended to deceive the Phoenix River Sword Sect and secretly arrange for their disciples to leave, they'd never thought of going against the Phoenix River Sword Sect. Now that Shang Qingjun was dead, the Spectator Pond Courtyard had walked onto a path of no return.
Left with no choice, they locked up the disciples brought by Shang Qingjun and sealed the mountain gate, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
However, this person sends a letter to the school every seven days. Even if they can hide it for a while, Fengxiang Sword School will notice something is wrong sooner or later.
Goh Su-min said with difficulty, "Zhenren, what should we do now?"
Zhang Boyan said in a deep voice, "If the two of you are willing to lead your disciples to join Hanyuan, my sect leader will help you block Fengxiang Sword School."
Goh Su-min weighed his words and said, "But Shenwu Mountain is in the extreme north, it is more than ten thousand miles away from Kwantam-in …"
Although it is far away in the South Land, he has heard of Zhang Yan's reputation. But distant water cannot quench present thirst. On the contrary, Fengxiang Sword School is considered close at hand and can be reached in a day. Even if he were to join Hanyuan, what use would it be?
Seeing that he is unwilling, Zhang Boyan said, "Then leave this place and settle down in Shenwu Mountain. Our sect is on good terms with Zhongtai, no matter how powerful Fengxiang Sword School is, they will not pursue us all the way to the North Land. The two of you have seen the situation that day. There must be evil hidden under this seal. Whether we leave or stay, it is only a matter of a thought. "
Goh Su-min hesitated for a long time and finally sighed, "This is the only way."
Senchu said, "Senior Brother, I have heard that Zhongtai's congratulatory banquet has ended. Sect Leader Chen would be returning to the sect in a few days, but if he brought his inner disciples to the north, It'll take at least half a month, and we won't be able to hide the news along the way. If the High Sect … Fengxiang Sword School gets wind of it, they only need to send one person over to stall us, and then we won't be able to leave. "
Goh Su-min's face turned pale, "How did you return so quickly?"
Zhang Boyan sneered, "There's no need for the two of you to be troubled. If the disciples of the Phoenix Clan dare to chase after us, just kill them with a single sword strike."
Goh Su-min was shocked. Shaking his head repeatedly, he said, "No, no, absolutely not. This method is inappropriate."
He had been in Fengxiang sword school for a long time, so even if he wanted to join another school, he wouldn't dare to resist.
Shen Chuyu cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother, I have an idea for the disciples to split up. As for who can escape, it's all up to Heaven's will. "
Goh Su-min thought about it and sighed, "This is the only way now."
Although this would mean giving up a portion of the disciples, it would also allow the majority of the disciples to escape. He thought for a while and said, "Then it's decided. Junior Martial Brother, call the disciples to prepare, we'll leave tomorrow. "
Senchu stood up, "Yes, I'll go and prepare now."
Zhang Boyan said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, wait."
Senchu immediately stopped. He dared not disregard Zhang Boyan, so he asked with a straight face, "Does Zhenren have anything else to say?"
Zhang Boyan chuckled, "I dare to say that. Fengxiang sword school must have planted spies in your courtyard. Once the disciples scatter and escape, they'll immediately send a letter to the other schools. Who knows, within a day, someone might come to kill you. "
Hearing this, Goh Su-min was at a loss, "We can't go left, we can't go right, what should we do?"
Zhang Boyan said, "Actually, this matter is easy. I only need to leave one person here to stand guard, while the other person will bring along a trusted disciple and follow me in advance. Not only will it be difficult for others to notice, but we can also conceal the news of this place. It all depends on whether the two of you are willing."
Goh Su-min took a breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm the Chancellor of Kwantam-in, I should stay. Junior Martial Brother, you go with Zhenren."
Senchu jumped up in a hurry and said loudly, "Absolutely not! Senior Martial Brother is the pillar of the school, how can we lose him? It's better for me to stay. "
Goh Su-min sat up straight and said sternly, "Junior Martial Brother, don't argue with me. Now, as the Chancellor, I'm giving you an order. Tomorrow, you will bring the disciples to Mount Shenwu, no mistakes are allowed."
Senchu was helpless and sighed. He raised his hand and said, "Senchu accepts the order."
After the three discussed the details, they went back to make their own arrangements.
On the second day, when Zhang Boyan arrived at the hall, he did not see Goh Su-min. There was only Senchu sitting in the hall with a young boy beside him.
After he sat down, he asked, "Where is Headmaster Wu?"
Senchu stood up and bowed to Zhang Boyan. He said, "Senior Martial Brother Wu is the Headmaster of the school, his cultivation and divine arts are above mine. I can't let him die here for nothing. I've already used the pills left by Senior Martial Brother Zeng to knock him out. Zhenren, please take him first. I'll stay here and not let the news leak."
Zhang Boyan did not care who stayed and nodded to show that he understood.
Senchu brought the child in front of him and said, "This is my son, Shen Dong. Zhenren has seen him before. I hope you can bring my son with you. I don't ask for immortality, I just want him to live a happy life."
Zhang Boyan glanced at him and said, "Sure."
Senchu touched the child's head, his eyes full of love. He said, "Child, you can go with Zhenren."
The child was also very obedient and sensible. He did not make a fuss. After listening to his father, he went to stand beside Zhang Boyan.
Zhang Boyan secretly thought, "This child may be young, but he has a strong heart and is very sensible. His aptitude is also not bad. If he can be taught a good cultivation method, he will definitely become a great person in the future."
Senchu cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave it to Zhenren. I've already prepared a flying boat outside, we can go at any time."
Zhang Boyan did not say anything more and brought the child outside. He saw a flying boat about seventy to eighty feet long floating in the sky. There were ten or so disciples on it, most of them were at Core Transformation. The person in the lead was a pavilion master surnamed Qian. Although this person was the junior brother of Wei Shen and Wu, because he was the former Monastery Head's in-name disciple, his status was far inferior.
However, Zhang Boyan had previously been refining medicine in the courtyard, and most of the medicinal ingredients were taken care of by this person. Zhang Boyan had often interacted with him, so he could be considered to be familiar with him. After leaping onto the flying boat, he glanced at Wu Suyou, who was lying on the couch in the boat, and said, "Pavilion Master Qian, please depart quickly."
Pavilion Master Qian cupped his hands to Senchu below and said, "Take care, senior brother."
He took out a talisman and shook it. A ball of light appeared under the flying boat, and it quickly flew out.
However, no one in the courtyard noticed that after the flying boat left, a colorful fog suddenly spurted out from the ground somewhere in the courtyard. It then turned into a rainbow and flew north.
After leaving the mountain gate, Pavilion Master Qian was about to drive the boat north when Zhang Boyan suddenly said, "Turn around and turn south."
Pavilion Master Qian was puzzled. "There are only two ways to go to Shenwu Mountain, west and north. But why is Zhenren heading south?"
Zhang Boyan smiled mysteriously and said, "We are going south."
Pavilion Master Qian was stunned and said, "Why, why is that?"
Zhang Boyan sneered and said, "I'm guessing that Fengxiang Sword School will not allow the news of you being banned to spread. They must have many spies, so they cannot act according to the right path. There is a celestial city in the Southern Vast Sea Realm that is only five to six days' journey from here. Although it is under the rule of the Ku Xin Sect, it is actually built by the people of the evil sects. I was fortunate enough to go there once. I will hide here for now and wait for the storm to pass before heading north. "
Pavilion Master Qian frowned and said, "Is Zhenren suspecting that there are people from Fengxiang Sword School around the two senior brothers? Is that why he purposely said he wanted to go north, but he is actually going south?"
Zhang Boyan glanced at him and said, "That's part of it. What do you think, Fellow Qian?"
Pavilion Master Qian nodded and said, "Senior Brother Shen told me to listen to Zhenren's arrangements along the way. As long as I can bring these disciples to the North Continent safely, I am willing to sacrifice my life."
As long as there were disciples, they could enter the sect to cultivate Dao in their next life. However, if even the orthodoxy was broken, it would be completely hopeless. He knew that this trip might not be smooth, so he had long made up his mind that even if he died, these talented disciples would be protected no matter what.
In the Jade Plate of the Four Seas, He Yizhu sat on a hill surrounded by trees and was sacrificially refining the Nine-Yellow Star Pearl.
Ever since Zhang Yan came that day, he had been paranoid and was extremely afraid that someone would come to snatch it. Thus, he sacrificially refined this item day and night.
Fortunately, there were still two more days before he could return to the sect. By then, he could sleep peacefully.
While he was deep in thought, there was a sudden rumble. It was as if there was a clap of thunder beside his ears. The entire Cloud Plate Flying Ship shook violently, and the table in front of him flipped over. The plates, pots, and cups rolled all over the ground.
Because he was caught off guard, he almost fell too. With a thought, a strong wind surrounded his body and stabilized his body. He floated in the air and took out a jade ruler from his sleeve. He said angrily, "Elder Kim, what's going on?"
An elder entered the jade plate and reported, "Sect Leader, Fengxiang Sword School's Shang Qingjun is blocking the way. Just Now, this person is the cause of the commotion."
"Fengxiang Sword School? Shang Qingjun? What is Chen Yuan trying to do? "
He Yizhu was furious. He immediately thought that Fengxiang Sword School was coming to snatch the pearl. However, he immediately extinguished this thought.
The consequence of a disciple attacking the carriage of another sect's sect leader so brazenly was very likely to be a war between the two sects. Based on Chen Yuan's character, he would not be so stupid.
He calmed down and waved his sleeve, restoring the table and the plate to its original state.
He slowly floated down and said in a cold voice, "I heard that this person is arrogant and unruly. Even for this banquet, Chen Yuan did not bring him along. This time, he is either acting on his own initiative or being provoked by someone else. Bring a few more people to capture him. I want to ask how Chen Yuan trains his disciples! "
Elder Kim bowed and waved his hand. He brought two elders down the jade plate. Seeing that Shang Qingjun was expressionless and emitting a strange aura, he frowned and said, "My two Junior Brothers, the sect leader has ordered us to capture him alive."
The two elders nodded and took out their protective treasures.
Just as the three of them were about to surround him, Shang Qingjun smiled strangely. He suddenly raised his hand and a yellow light shot towards them. There was a loud bang like a thunderbolt.
Elder Kim's head was dizzy. At this moment, he felt a little warmth splashing on his cheek. When he turned his head to look, he turned pale with fright. The elder beside him had actually been blasted into pieces along with his treasure in this instant!
The opponent had such a powerful treasure, how could he block it? Without saying a word, he left his fellow sect members behind and flew towards the jade plate without turning his head back.
