Qifeng Island was in between the inner and outer seas. After passing this island, it would be the border of Donghua Continent, which was also the territory of the top ten Abstruse sects.
However, now that the Devil's Catastrophe had begun, the sects on the sea would inevitably be affected. Zhang Yan didn't know the situation here, so he wasn't in a hurry to go. Instead, he called Zhao Yang over and asked, "You have entered the Core Transformation Realm. Have you cultivated the Underworld Escape Technique?"
Zhao Yang answered honestly, "Although I have learned it, I only have a rough understanding of it."
Zhang Yan smiled. "That's enough. I have a task for you. Go to the inner sea and find out the details, then come back and report to me."
Zhao Yang didn't understand. "I am not from Donghua Continent and am not familiar with the situation here. Why don't you send the two senior sisters?"
It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but he felt that the Wang sisters were from Donghua, so they should be familiar with the place. It would be more convenient for them to find out information. He wondered if there was a reason behind it.
Zhang Yan did have other plans, but he didn't want to tell him. He only said, "After the Devil's Catastrophe, most of the sects on the sea stayed in seclusion. Most of the people wandering outside are from the demonic sects. The escape technique you cultivate is from the Underworld Spring Sect. This sect has been around for thousands of years and is the most powerful among the six demonic sects. It will be easy for you to find out information if you go there."
Zhao Yang understood and accepted the order happily. He turned around and left the cabin. With a stomp of his foot, he flew into the sky with a faint yellow smoke.
Not long after he left, a voice came from outside, "Master, Shen Dong requests to see you."
Zhang Yan said in a deep voice, "Let him in."
Shen Dong entered the cabin and bowed to him.
Zhang Yan said indifferently, "What are you here for?"
Shen Dong looked up and said, "I saw Senior Brother Zhao go to the sea. May I ask if you went to find out information?"
Zhang Yan looked at him and asked, "Why do you ask?"
Shen Dong cupped his hands and said, "I think my escape technique is not bad. I want to compete with Senior Brother Zhao to see who can find out more information."
He paused and asked carefully, "If I win by luck, can I ask Zhenren about a problem in cultivation?"
Zhang Yan gave him a deep look. After thinking for a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "Go."
Shen Tong heaved a sigh of relief. Although the Spirit Returning Sect was in his hands, without Goh Su-min's help, no one would be able to guide him. His real intention was not to compete with Zhao Yang, but to see if he could learn from him through meritorious deeds in the future.
When he came, he was already prepared to be rejected. Fortunately, Zhang Yan did not reject her outright. Otherwise, she would have to think of other countermeasures.
He bowed deeply. He retreated out of the cabin and rode a cloud of ever-changing spiritual smoke, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Yang used his escape technique and circled the vast sea for an hour, but he didn't see anything. It was as if there were no cultivators on the sea.
Seeing that the path was blocked, he decided to take a risk and stopped wandering around aimlessly. Instead, he identified the spiritual opportunity and found a place with abundant spiritual energy and carefully searched for it.
However, after exploring a few islands with dense Spirit Qi, the Spirit Qi in the area became even denser. He discovered that it was either the walls had collapsed or the houses had long been abandoned. Helpless, he could only search further away.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him softly. "Fellow Daoist, are you looking for a way out?"
Zhao Yang was startled and immediately turned his head to look around, but he couldn't find the person. At this time, he heard the voice say again, "Fellow cultivator, don't panic. You've only entered my Chaotic Dust Array. If you want to leave, it won't be difficult. Just listen to me."
Zhao Yang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He didn't want to fall into the array without knowing it. If the other party wanted to kill him, he would have already succeeded. He secretly warned himself that this was no longer Dong Sheng, but the Dong Hua Continent where danger was everywhere. He must not be careless. He calmed himself down and asked, "How do I get out?"
The person said, "Fellow Daoist, listen to me. Ten steps to the left, you will see a black rock reef. Nine steps to the right, you will see a small mirror …"
Zhao Yang was a little hesitant. He couldn't judge whether this person was telling the truth or not. What if the other party didn't have the means to deal with him and instead used words to trick him into entering the killing restriction?
After thinking about it a few times, he finally decided to do as he was told.
Fortunately, that person didn't play any tricks. After a few dozen breaths, he arrived at the main position. He saw a short and fat person from Daoren, who looked like a withered tree stump, sitting on a rock. When he saw Zhao Yang enter, he stood up with a face full of smiles. He bowed to Zhao Yang and said, "Fellow Daoist Just Now, your Escape Technique looks familiar. May I ask if you are a disciple of the Nether Spring Sect?"
Zhao Yang pretended to be relaxed and said, "Fellow Daoist has good eyesight. Just Now, I am using the Nether Escape Technique."
That person from Daoren's eyes couldn't help but become more fervent. He bowed and introduced himself, "I am Quan Yangxin, a disciple of Yuan Shen, so I am also one of us."
Yuan Shen Gate had always been on good terms with the Mingquan Sect. Especially when the disciples of the two sects hadn't mastered their techniques, they could complement each other's strengths and often worked together.
He hid here because he wanted to ambush a powerful enemy. He originally thought that the outcome would be unpredictable, but he didn't expect to inadvertently lure Zhao Yang into the formation. He thought that if he could ask for Zhao Yang's help, his chances would be greatly increased.
As for why Zhao Yang was here, he didn't have the mood to ask. Nowadays, in the Donghua Continent, many disciples of the Devil's Doctrine were killing cultivators outside to collect souls to practice their supernatural powers. It was not uncommon for them to run to the East Sea.
In order to build a friendship, he mentioned the names of a few peers from the Nether Spring Sect that he knew, and in a roundabout way, tried to find out which elder Zhao Yang was cultivating under.
Zhao Yang was afraid that he would expose himself if he said too much. After a few perfunctory words, he took the initiative to ask, "Fellow Daoist, why did you set up the formation here?"
Quan Yangxin couldn't wait for him to ask this question, so he quickly told him the reason. In the end, he sighed and said, "This formation consumed a lot of my precious materials, and it can only be used once. I didn't expect you to break in, so it seems that I need to set it up again later."
Zhao Yang put on an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, it was an unintentional mistake. It's just that I never owe anyone favors, so I don't know how to make it up to you."
Quan Yangxin cheered up and said with joy, "As long as you are willing to work with me later to intercept and kill this person, it doesn't matter even if there is no formation."
Zhao Yang pretended to be hesitant and said, "May I know the identity of this person?"
Quan Yangxin hurriedly said, "Rest assured, this person's cultivation is at most similar to yours and mine. When I was cultivating here the day before yesterday, I accidentally intercepted a flying letter from Pengyuan Sect and learned that someone sent a spirit herb to their sect today. This thing has the ability to maintain the Primordial Spirit and is greatly beneficial to the cultivation of our disciples. After killing him, we can split it in half. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
Zhao Yang was moved and said, "That flying letter is so fast, how can you intercept it?"
Quan Yangxin laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but the East Sea is managed by my sect's Elder Yang Shouzhen and the Blood Soul Sect's Elder Gong Yangzhong. They have already destroyed 12 sects on the sea, and now only a few sects like Pengyuan Sect are left. Their disciples dare not go out on normal days. Every month, they can only take advantage of a few specific hours to go out of the mountain gate with a secret technique to communicate with other sects. However, they don't know that their whereabouts have already been discovered by the two elders. They just want to lure the big fish to take the bait, so they deliberately didn't expose it. These days, I happened to be on duty here, so … hehe."
Zhao Yang looked at his mysterious smile and couldn't help but realize that Quan Yangxin heard that the person who came had the spirit herb, so he couldn't help but want to take it for himself.
"I didn't expect the Sea Demon Sect to be so powerful, I need to report this news to Zhenren Zhang as soon as possible."
Just Now he noticed that although Quan Yangxin seemed to be chatting with him freely, he was always on guard, so it wasn't easy to make a move. Thus, he was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave. At this moment, he heard Quan Yangxin say excitedly, "That person is here."
Zhao Yang looked up and saw a middle-aged Daoist with black hair and beard coming from the sea in the distance. He was looking around vigilantly.
Quan Yangxin said excitedly, "I will cast a spell to confuse his spirit. If you see an opportunity, please come forward and finish him."
Zhao Yang said yes, and with a shake of his body, a ferocious demon flew out from behind him.
Quan Yangxin was envious. This demon from the Netherworld Spring Sect could devour flesh and blood, and could even pollute magic treasures. Moreover, it was not afraid of being killed at all. It was much more powerful than ordinary magic treasures when used to attack the enemy. He thought to himself, "It would be great if I could ask this Daoist friend for one."
While he was thinking, Zhao Yang cast a spell. The demon opened its big mouth, roared, and bit towards him. Zhao Yang couldn't help but turn pale with fright. A black light rose from his body and kept the demon away. "What are you doing, Daoist friend? Why don't you quickly take it back? "
Zhao Yang originally planned to sneak an attack from behind, but the opponent's reaction was really beyond his expectation. He gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. He desperately cast the spell, wanting to kill him as soon as possible.
Demons loved to devour flesh and blood. Just Now, Quan Yangxin only thought that Zhao Yang's cultivation was not strong enough, and he didn't control it well when he released it. But now, he saw that Zhao Yang was still trying to kill him without saying a word. Quan Yangxin couldn't find anything wrong. He snorted, turned around, and disappeared, leaving only a tattered Daoist robe in place.
Zhao Yang was startled. He hurriedly gathered his Qi and swept the surroundings with his Dan Sha. He didn't know how many trees and rocks he had destroyed, but he still couldn't find a trace of that person. It was obvious that he had already escaped somewhere else.
He was both annoyed and shocked. Not only did his sneak attack fail, but he also let him escape. Could it be that the cultivators of Donghua Continent were all so powerful and difficult to deal with?
At this time, he suddenly thought of the Daoist and hurriedly flew into the air. But in just a moment, the person also disappeared. He must have sensed something was wrong here, so he escaped.
He thought for a while in the same place, thinking that he had gathered enough information, so he used his escape technique and rushed back to Dragon Country's big ship.
Two hours later, he returned to the ship and went straight to the cabin to see Zhang Yan. He told him what he had seen and heard. In the end, he said with shame, "I underestimated this person. I thought it would be easy to catch him, but I didn't expect him to escape."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If that person is from the Origin Mirage Sect, then when you were talking to him, you should have been under a tracking spell. I think it won't be long before he comes to you."
At this point, his expression changed slightly. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then sneered and said, "He came fast!" He reached out and grabbed, and actually pulled a person out of thin air. He then threw him down and threw him at his feet.
