After Shen Baishuang intimidated the Spiritual Masters of the three sects, she went to meet up with Zhang Yan. The latter thought that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he followed her back to the sect.
Because the abode was extremely fast, the two of them only used about ten days to return to the Shenwu Mountain. Although Kwantam-in and the rest were a step ahead, they were left behind.
Shen Baishuang had to refine the Heavenly Furnace of Earth Fire first, so she did not enter the mountain this time. After a few words with Zhang Yan, she floated to the East Shenwu Mountain alone.
Zhang Yan returned to Cang Zhu Peak. This time, he came to Dong Sheng Continent under the orders of the sect master. On the surface, it was to avoid the attention of the sects, but secretly, it was to deal with the seal left by the Ancestral Master. After a lot of hard work, the Sky Demons were all taken care of. With Shen Baishuang's help, the situation of the south, south, and north of Dong Sheng Continent had been settled. If there were no accidents, there should be no changes for at least one or two hundred years. Next, he only needed to arrange the affairs of the sect, and then he could cultivate in peace.
After two hours, he returned to his cave residence. After sitting down, he called Jing You over as usual and asked, "I was away for a few days, how is the sect?"
Jing You reported, "Master, there are three elders in the sect, and everything is in good order. However, a few days ago, a foreign cultivator suddenly came to the mountain, saying that he had something to discuss with Master. He asked about it, but he refused to go into details. I saw that this person is also a Spiritual Master, so I took the initiative to arrange for him to stay in the pavilion in the mountain. Does Master want to see him?"
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go and invite him up to see me."
Jing You bowed and left after receiving the order.
About a moment later, a Daoist walked into the cave residence. As they walked, a Daoist entered the cave abode. He first looked at Zhang Yan, then he cupped his hands and bowed. "Overseas itinerant cultivator Yang Xuanlong greets Daoist Zhang."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said, "So it's Zhenren Yang. I haven't been in the mountain for the past few days, and the people in my sect don't know what's going on. They've been rude to you."
Yang Xuan Long laughed. He said, "Zhang Zhangmen is too serious. Although the Sky Demon has been eliminated, the aftermath has yet to subside. It is only right for your sect to be more cautious. "
Zhang Yan raised his hand. He guided the air. "Daoist Yang, please take a seat."
Yang Xuanlong did not bother with pleasantries. He casually cupped his hands and sat down at the guest seat, straightening his sleeves. Then, he turned his head and his eyes lit up. "When I entered the mountain, I saw that many areas have been corroded by poisonous miasma. I also heard that many sects have fled and suffered this disaster. It will take at least a hundred years for the Shenwu Mountain to regain its former glory."
These were not empty words. Originally, there were more than thirty sects in the divine house. When they heard that the Sky Demons were attacking, many of them knew that they could not fight the enemy, so they fled early. Only a few sects were willing to work together with them. It could be said that nine out of ten sects had left.
Zhang Yan did not hide this and admitted, "That is indeed the case. However, the Shenwu Mountain is mixed with crooks and honest people. After this incident, many of the unruly people have been eliminated and the elites have remained. For my Hanyuan, it is greatly beneficial."
Yang Xuanlong suddenly sighed and cupped his hands. "Sect Leader Zhang, please forgive me for being blunt. If your Shenwu Mountain had no external enemies, it would be enough to protect itself. However, there is the Python Tribe above the North Sea, and it is close to large sects like Zhongtai Sect. Your sect is sandwiched between the north and the south and is weak. Now that you have suffered a heavy blow, if you do not try to pull yourself together, the day of your defeat will not be far."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly but did not say anything.
Yang Xuanlong was a little disappointed when he saw that Zhang Yan did not react as he had expected. However, he pretended to be anxious and said, "I am not exaggerating. Although you have invited the help of a cultivator from the Grotto-Heaven, that cultivator is not a cultivator of Dong Sheng. He will leave in the future. On the other hand, your ability is a great threat to the cultivators of the Grotto-Heaven in the continent. They will try to exclude you openly and secretly. When that time comes, the Hanyuan Sect will be in big trouble."
Zhang Yan chuckled to himself. This was just an act to shock him.
From this person's words, it could be seen that he did not know who had come to the Shenwu Mountain and what had happened. However, he still casually asked, "Then according to Daoist's opinion, what should we do?"
Yang Xuanlong's spirit was lifted. He said, "I have a plan here. If it succeeds, not only will it help you get through this difficult time, but the Hanyuan Sect will also no longer have to listen to the four sects."
Zhang Yan said calmly, "I would like to ask."
Yang Xuanlong smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you know which sect has the most wealth in the Dong Sheng Continent?"
Zhang Yan shook his head slightly and said, "I came from another continent, so I don't know much about it."
Yang Xuanlong raised his hand and gave a thumbs up to the southeast. He said, "I will let you know that in the Dong Sheng Continent, in terms of wealth, it is not Zhongtai, Xuanyue, nor the three sects of South Continent. It is the Xiao Cang Boundary!"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "What does that have to do with me?"
Yang Xuanlong said in a tempting tone, "The Xiao Cang Boundary is a small world created by Grandmaster Jing Cang. It is full of mysteries and treasures. If we can occupy it and move the Hanyuan Sect into it, wouldn't it be a thousand times better than being trapped here?"
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and seemed to be a little interested. He said, "I heard that the restriction of the Xiao Cang Boundary was personally set up by Grandmaster Jing Cang. For thousands of years, no one has been able to find the entrance. From what Brother Yang said, you seem to know where it is?"
Yang Xuanlong moved his body forward and said in a low voice, "To be honest, I have been searching for the Xiao Cang Boundary with a few senior and junior brothers for more than a hundred years. We have a rough idea of its location, but we do not have the incantation to enter the formation. I heard that you have been in contact with the Xiao Cang Boundary's Wei Shuling. As long as we invite her here and cast a small spell on her, we will be able to get what we want. At that time, both our sects will go to the Xiao Cang Boundary. After that, you will be able to gain a foothold in the Dong Sheng Continent and no longer have to worry about foreign invasions."
Zhang Yan looked over and said with a faint smile, "Since you have told me so much, I believe you will not be doing it for free. What do you want?"
Yang Xuan Long chuckled and said, "Of course I have a request, but it's not worth mentioning compared to the position of the Xiao Cang Realm's Realm Lord. It's not convenient to say it now, but you'll know when the time comes."
As he said this, he took out a letter and slapped it on the table. He stood up and said, "I will treat you with sincerity. If you think it is feasible, send this letter and I will come to help. If you do not have the courage, then just treat it as if I have never come. Farewell!" As he said this, he cupped his hands and walked out with his head held high.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Did you copy this person's appearance?"
Jing You bowed and said, "When this person came up the mountain, I had already copied his appearance."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Take it to Song and Tang. Tell them to investigate this person's background and then report back to me."
Jing You was about to leave when Zhang Yan's eyes flashed and he stopped him again, saying, "Wait, send another drawing to Zhao Yang and ask if he recognizes it."
At the same time, in the Golden Bell Hall of Zhongtai Sect, Sect Master Qiao Huanjuan and a few elders of the main sect were thinking about the future countermeasures.
Elder Yan said in a low voice, "The three sects of the south have been eyeing us for a long time. Zhongtai and Hanyuan are inextricably interdependent. It is necessary for the two sects to form an alliance. However, Zhongtai is the orthodoxy passed down by Grand Master Da Mi. No matter what, we cannot be reduced to a lower sect of Hanyuan."
Sect Master Qiao smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Martial Brother's words are reasonable. However, with the passing of Zhenren Zhen, I, Zhongtai, no longer have the confidence to speak. Hanyuan is different. With that Tao Zhenren behind him, why would he care about what we say?"
Elder Yan shook his head and said, "Not so. I heard from Martial Nephew Du that Tao Zhenren was invited by Sect Master Zhang from another continent. Perhaps he owed him a favor or offered him some precious treasure. This matter can only be done once. Sect Master, you don't have to take it too seriously."
Sect Master Qiao felt that it was reasonable. It was difficult to invite a Zhenren Zhen. Maybe this time, Zhang Yan had used the sect's favor. It was impossible for him to do it again. However, he still frowned and said, "Without that Tao Zhenren's help, what's the use of roping in Hanyuan Sect? We can't stop the three sects of the south either way. "
Elder Yan straightened his body and suddenly revealed a solemn expression. He said, "Sect Master, if that Zhenren Zhen Zhang can invite that Tao Zhenren, why can't we?"
These words suddenly opened a door in front of him. Sect Master Qiao's body trembled and he was stunned. Then, he let out an excited expression and stood up. After a while, he slowly sat back down and said with a hint of anticipation, "Senior Martial Brother, you mean …"
Elder Yan Daoren said, "We can ask someone to go to Tao Zhenren and persuade him. If he is willing to protect Zhongtai Sect, we are willing to work together with Hanyuan and worship him. As long as we can hold on for a few hundred years and master our Grand Master's mystical arts and divine arts, I, Zhongtai, will be able to make a comeback. "
Sect Master Qiao was doubtful. He asked, "Will it work?"
Elder Yan's face was full of confidence. He said, "I heard that Tao Zhenren is also a Sect Master. His sect is on the open sea, but the resources on the sea are few and far from being as abundant as on land. Zhongtai occupies half of Dong Sheng North Continent and has countless spiritual items. It's more than enough to support a sect. That Tao Zhenren might not agree."
Sect Master Qiao frowned and thought deeply. He said, "But there's one thing we have to worry about. Will that Tao Zhenren turn from guest to host?"
Elder Yan said confidently, "It's fine if he's on the open sea, but if he really wants to enter our continent, the three Zhenrens in the south will be the first to disagree. Sect Master, you don't have to worry."
Sect Master Qiao was finally convinced. He said, "That's a good plan. But how do we find this Tao Zhenren?"
Elder Yan Daoren said, "Then we'll need Zhenren Zhen Zhang to act as a middleman and try to send more of those three spiritual herbs. I don't think he will refuse."
Sect Master Qiao said in a low voice, "To show our sincerity, we should send some generous gifts." He thought for a while and his eyes lit up. He said, "I've got it. Before Zhenren Zhen Zhang passed away, he left behind a leg power. It's useless to keep it in the sect. Why don't we send it to Tao Zhenren?"
Elder Yan frowned. "Is it Zhenren Zhen Zhang's mount? I've seen it before. It doesn't seem to be very obedient. "
Sect Master Qiao smiled. "Before Sect Master Qiao passed away, he gave us a talisman that can control this beast. It's very obedient now."
Elder Yan was overjoyed. He said, "Then what are you hesitating for, Sect Master? Quickly send the messenger over. The earlier we settle this, the earlier we can be at peace."
