PS: I still have something to do today, so I don't have time to write at night. However, I will make it up at around 14 o 'clock tomorrow afternoon.
After the plot outside was over, the next chapter would be back in Qincang.
Pengyuan Sect's mountain gate was surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and one faced the sea. The terrain was higher in the west and lower in the east. There were more than ten high hills in the mansion, all of which were the residences of Core Transformation cultivators. The main hall of the sect was on the northern cliff, so one could overlook the scenery inside the sect at any time and place.
Mu Bingxin welcomed Zhang Yan into the main hall and invited him to the seat of honor. Pengyuan Sect's sect master, Qu Jinghua, also came out to greet him. However, his complexion was gloomy, and it could be seen that he was injured to the point where it was difficult to recover. At most, he had ten years left to live, so he only showed his face for a moment before excusing himself and returning to the mansion to recuperate.
After Mu Bingxin and Zhang Yan talked for a while, she heard that his disciples were still at sea, so she immediately ordered the two people beside her, "You two go and bring Spiritual Master Zhang's disciple here."
The two people immediately showed hesitation. Although Zhang Yan came from the outside, he was still Spiritual Master Yuanying after all, so the Devil Sect most likely wouldn't provoke him. However, they were only Core Transformation cultivators. If they went out and bumped into a powerful person, it would be bad.
The two hesitated, so they didn't immediately go forward to receive the order.
Mu Bingxin saw that the two people were actually hesitating, and she felt that she had lost face in front of Zhang Yan. She immediately became furious and was about to scold them. Seeing this, Jiang Zheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Spiritual Master Mu, disciple and two senior sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Can Martial Nephew accompany the two senior brothers?"
Mu Bingxin was startled, then her expression softened and she said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Martial Nephew Jiang."
The two cultivators also realized that what they were doing was inappropriate. Fortunately, Jiang Zheng helped them in time. They both let out a sigh of relief and cast him a grateful glance.
When they arrived at the door together, one of them cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, thank you."
Jiang Zheng cupped his fists and said, "As long as the two senior brothers don't mind me meddling."
The man sighed and said, "How could that be? Today, we two brothers owe Senior Brother Jiang a favor. If anything happens in the future, please help us. Just tell me what you want. "
Although they had previously known that Jiang Zheng was Zhang Yan's disciple, they had all thought that his status in Zhao Nether Palace was not high. Otherwise, why would he have been sent to Pengyuan Sect? Thus, when they met, they would only greet each other and did not have much of a relationship. However, now that Zhang Yan had personally come to visit him, he realized that he was gravely mistaken. Moreover, it was Just Now. Thus, he became extremely polite.
Jiang Zheng looked at the sky and said, "That big ship is only two to four hours away from here. We'll go and return quickly. If we can get back before sunset, we should be fine."
The man laughed aloud and said, "Other than Elder Mu in the sect, there is no one else. Senior Brother Jiang's cultivation is the highest. With you here, what do we have to fear? "
Jiang Zheng also smiled and took the lead. The two of them also stepped on smoke and clouds and followed closely.
There were many demonic cultivators on the sea, but Just Now, the scene of Yang Shouzhen being crushed to death by the Xuan Huang hand had been seen by many. When they heard that the newcomer was Zhang Yan, they all retreated far away in fear, not daring to approach this region of the sea. Thus, the three of them smoothly reached Dragon Country's big ship without any hiccups.
When the Wang sisters saw that it was Jiang Zheng, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Reuniting with fellow sect members for a long time, they spoke for a while. Only then did they guide the big ship to Pengyuan Sect.
At this time, in Pengyuan Sect, a disciple came to report, "Elder Pengyuan, there are two Core Formation cultivators outside. One of them is called Shen Dong and claims to be Zhang Zhenren's disciple. He wants to see Zhang Zhenren."
Mu Bingxin unconsciously looked over. She smiled and said, "When did Zhang Zhenren take in another good disciple?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This person only seeks the Dao in my sect and is not my disciple. However, I see that he is a talent that can be groomed. That's why I keep him by my side. "
Mu Bingxin thought for a while and said, "Quickly invite him up."
Not long after, Shen Dong was led to the hall by a Pengyuan disciple. He had a respectful expression and bowed to the two of them.
Just Now, he was not far from Pengyuan Sect. Thus, when he saw that Zhang Yan and Yang Shouzhen were fighting, he didn't return to Dragon Country's big ship and directly came here to pay his respects.
Mu Bingxin saw that Shen Dong was nine feet tall and had a beautiful beard. He looked dignified and had an excellent bone structure. In her sect, only Dan Huizhen could compare to him. She couldn't help but think, "Since he is not Zhang Zhenren's disciple, I wonder if he can stay in my Pengyuan Sect? I might as well ask him later. "
After Shen Dong straightened his body, he said, "Zhang Zhenren, Mu Zhenren, when I was investigating outside, I met a Daoist on the sea. He said that he was going to Pengyuan Sect to deliver elixirs. However, this person saw that there were Demon Sect disciples patrolling the place where the elixirs were stored, so he could only choose to avoid them. He originally wanted to come to Pengyuan Sect, but he didn't bring a token. Coincidentally, we met, so he asked me to pass a message to see if I can enter the sect and pay my respects."
Mu Bingxin suddenly stood up and asked, "Did that person claim to be a disciple of Scarlet Yang Sect?"
Shen Dong said, "Yes."
Mu Bingxin said happily, "That's right. My disciple is in trouble. In order to protect his Primordial Spirit, he went around looking for elixirs. That person came to deliver the elixirs to my sect."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since Elder Mu has something to do, I will take my leave first."
Mu Bingxin was worried about her disciple, so she didn't want to stay any longer. She said apologetically, "It's my fault for not being a good host." She turned around and ordered, "Someone, prepare a good cave for Zhang Zhenren."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said goodbye. He followed a disciple to the left side of the mountain. After walking for about a hundred steps, he turned into a hidden cliff and walked forward along a ten-feet-long rope path. When he reached the end, he scraped to the left and arrived at a courtyard with flower petals fluttering in the wind. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a three-story pavilion. Under the eaves, there were jade pearls and golden bells that shook and collided with the wind, making a pleasant sound.
He entered the pavilion and dismissed the servants. Then he went up to the third floor of the pavilion and sat down on the couch. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
About an hour later, there was a loud voice outside the door, "Zhang Zhenren, Scarlet Yang Sect disciple Shen Shuosong wants to see you."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Please come in."
Not long after, a middle-aged Taoist with black hair and beard came in. When he saw Zhang Yan, he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Greetings, Zhenren Zhang."
Zhang Yan looked at him and smiled, "Scarlet Yang is where the Beichen Sect is located. Are you a disciple of the Beichen Sect?"
Shen Shuosong said respectfully, "Zhenren Zhang is wise. I didn't mean to hide it. I was just afraid that the Devil Sect would pick a fight, so I didn't say it in the letter."
Zhang Yan nodded and asked, "How are Elder Yan and Zhenren Lu?"
Shen Shuosong said, "Elder Yan and Madam Lu are well. They often talk about you, saying that without your care, the Beichen Sect would not have survived the Devil Tribulation."
Zhang Yan said in a deep voice, "From your words, it seems that the sect is not doing well. It seems like the sect is not doing well? "
Shen Shuosong sighed and said, "The six great demon sects can't touch the ten great mysterious sects, but they often come to disturb our small sects. In the past, when Huo Xuan was in power, he took good care of my sect and did not succeed. He even had the strength to help the other sects that were on good terms with him many times. However, after the Great Competition in your sect the year before last, However, after the competition in your sect two years ago, Zhenren Huo was replaced by Zhenren Du. He was much colder to us small sects and called back all the disciples that you sent to guard the sect. This couldn't be hidden from the Devil Sect, so the past two years have been quite difficult. "
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. The cultivators of the Devil Sect were cunning, especially the cultivators of the Jiuling Sect. They were good at disturbing people's hearts and shaking their souls. Disciples with low cultivation would often be manipulated by them if they weren't careful. Many small sects were destroyed without knowing why. Not to mention that it was extremely difficult to guard against, as time went on, people would inevitably panic. If the sect didn't have a strong person to hold the fort, it would indeed not be easy to resist.
Huo Xuan valued relationships and used gentle methods to the surrounding sects. He must have heard that he was on good terms with Beichen, which was why he specially took care of him. And Du De was from the Du De Family and had always respected the principle of eliminating the strong. The Beichen Sect naturally wouldn't be as good as before.
Qincang School had already supported many small sects for more than a hundred years. If they gave up now, their previous efforts would be in vain. If these sects were destroyed, there would be no barrier around Qincang School. Once those cultivators of the Xuanmen Sect died, they would definitely be used to refine techniques. It was equivalent to increasing the strength of the Devil Sect, so he didn't agree with this.
After thinking for a moment, he said slowly, "Since you're here, why don't you tell Elder Yan for me? Tell him not to be anxious. At least a month, at most half a year. The situation will definitely change. "
Shen Shuosong was overjoyed. He knew this Spiritual Master Zhang's ability. As long as he said it, he would most likely be able to do it. After repeatedly thanking him, he left.
For the next three days, Zhang Yan stayed in Pengyuan Gate. On one hand, he ordered his disciples to clean up the Devil Sect cultivators everywhere. On the other hand, he took time to guide Jiang Zheng in his cultivation. On the fourth day, he went to say goodbye to Mu Bingxin.
However, Mu Bingxin said, "Spiritual Master Zhang, don't leave in a hurry. I have something to discuss with you."
She pulled over a charming female disciple beside her and said, "This is my disciple Cai Ai. She also has Core Formation cultivation. What do you think, Spiritual Master Zhang, about her and nephew Shen?"
Cai Ai's pretty face blushed and she lowered her head. She didn't have any resistance. Small sects mostly used marriage to collude with big sects. Even if she didn't become Shen Dong's cultivation companion, she would be forced to marry someone else sooner or later. Fortunately, she had secretly looked at Shen Dong these few days and was very satisfied with his appearance and cultivation.
Zhang Yan took a look and said with a smile, "Since Shen Dong isn't my disciple, he should make the decision himself."
Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't object, Mu Bingxin was instantly happy and thought that this matter would most likely succeed.
In the past few days, she had ordered people to inquire about Shen Dong. Although Shen Dong learned superior cultivation methods, he didn't have a master. It seemed that he was quite appreciated by Zhang Yan. If she could rope him in and make him a good son-in-law like Jiang Zheng, it would definitely be of great benefit to the sect. She said, "Then I'll go and talk to Martial Nephew Shen now."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Spiritual Master Mu, please help yourself."
After saying goodbye, he went out of Pengyuan Gate and met up with a group of disciples. Then, he boarded the Dragon Country's big ship and told them to set sail.
Zhao Yang looked around and said, "Master, Shen Dong hasn't boarded the ship yet."
Zhang Yan waved his sleeve and said, "Don't worry about him. He'll catch up in a moment."
The Dragon Country's big ship shook, stirred up the waves, and sailed toward the continent. In less than a moment, they saw Shen Dong flying from behind in a cloud of smoke. After landing, he saw Zhang Yan standing at the bow of the ship. He took a few steps forward and bowed, wanting to explain something.
However, Zhang Yan waved his hand at him and said indifferently, "In the future, don't talk about being my disciple. Do you understand?"
Shen Dong's back was covered in cold sweat. He knew that his little trick that day had been seen through again. He lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "You're on your own." After saying this, he walked into the cabin.
