PS: There will be more at night.
In front of the Flying Crane Pavilion, Qinnan was waiting with a young girl.
The young girl had delicate features and her hair was combed into two buns. She wore a dress with a collar and carried a fluffy white dog in her arms, playing with it from time to time. She raised her head and looked at the sky, saying, "Master, Uncle Master will be here soon, right?"
Qinnan grunted and said, "Your Uncle Master Zhang is a Yuanying third degree cultivator. If he uses the Sword Escape Technique, he will be here in less than half an hour."
The young girl could not help but look envious and said with longing, "Flying in the sky and burrowing into the ground, how carefree. I wonder when I can do that?"
Qinnan thought about it seriously and said, "It's not difficult. With your talent, you can do it after ten years of cultivation."
The young girl let out an 'ah' and drooped her head. She said in distress, "So long?"
Just as he was speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a sword piercing through the air, a bright sword light came from the west, coming from afar in an instant. When it reached the top of the Shouming Palace, it suddenly stopped, the clouds in the sky were torn apart by the dancing Qi, for a moment the sky was clear as if it had been washed, and then the light disappeared, revealing a brave and resolute Taoist with a clear light shrouding his body, he waved his sleeves and floated down on the clouds.
The young girl widened her eyes and looked at the sky without blinking. She thought, "Senior Sister always said that Uncle Master Peng is handsome and refined, a dragon among men. Hmph, Uncle Master Zhang is much better looking than him." While she was thinking, she heard a voice beside her ear, "Qingqin, why are you not greeting Uncle Master Zhang?"
She came back to her senses and blushed. She hurriedly came forward and greeted with a soft voice, "Martial Niece Meng Qingqin greets Uncle Master."
Qinnan said, "Senior Brother. This is my new disciple, and he has only been in the sect for a year. She doesn't know the rules and if she is rude, please don't blame her. "
Zhang Yan glanced at her and found that she was a beauty with a divine aura. She should be one of the best chosen by the Guardian Palace. He nodded to her and then looked at Qin Nan. He said, "Junior Sister mentioned in the letter that Zhenren Peng has already agreed to open and close the Eye of the Sea. However, there are still some things that you want to tell me in person. I wonder why?"
Qin Nan said softly, "My teacher said that in the past, every disciple who goes to the Sea Eye has to pay five hundred spirit shells. Now, for the sake of the sect, this rule can be changed. However, those who have not reached the Core Formation Stage are not allowed to stay on the island. One person needs to pay a hundred spirit shells to enter the eye of the sea to kill the devil. I can't disobey my master's order, so I hope Senior Martial Brother can forgive me. "
After that day. She went to Immortal Peng's father to report this matter. Just as she had expected, Immortal Peng did not oppose it. Instead, he quite approved of it.
Although the Guardian Palace had Daoist Grotto-Heaven presiding over it, it was impossible for him to do everything personally. Furthermore, there were very few disciples in the palace. In the past, the task of suppressing the devils was handed over to the top ten disciples. Even if it was a disciple from a different sect, it wouldn't matter.
However, as soon as the Sea Eye was opened, many junior disciples would swarm over. After all, the Guardian Palace was a place of quiet cultivation and could not allow noise. Therefore, this rule was set.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I see. This is reasonable. Even if Immortal didn't say it, I still wanted to do so."
The purpose of opening the Sea Eye was to let the disciples sharpen their state of mind and martial arts so that they could deal with the devil tribulation. However, if it was given out for no reason, it would inevitably feel that it was easy to get. There would definitely be disciples who did not cherish this opportunity. It was only right to add restrictions.
Qin Nan smiled sweetly and said, "I know that Senior Martial Brother won't be unreasonable."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan's heart moved slightly. He felt that there seemed to be something behind it. However, since it was settled, there was no need to delve into it. He brought up another matter, "Junior Martial Sister, do you remember the names of the disciples who have entered the Devil's Cave to cultivate these years?"
Qin Nan smiled and said, "I remember."
She raised her hand gently and took a petal. She circled her finger in her white hand and drew, forming a spell scroll. She then handed it over and said, "Senior Martial Brother, the names of all the disciples who have entered the Sea Eye to cultivate in the past two hundred years are all in it."
Zhang Yan took it and took a look at it. He remembered all the names and said, "Junior Martial Sister, I'll head to the Sea Eye now. Goodbye."
He bowed and looked in the direction of the Guardian Palace. He then used the Five Elements Escape Technique and turned into a clear light and dived into the water.
There were two people sitting in a flying pavilion in the Guardian Palace. One of them was wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, looking elegant. He was staring at the Flying Crane Pavilion with a gloomy face.
The person sitting in front of him was Daoren, who was in his fifties. He wore a Carefree Scarf and an open-necked shirt. His eyes were half closed and he was drunk. When he saw his companion looking outside, he also looked in that direction. He narrowed his eyes and said deliberately, "Dao Brother Peng, Zhenren Zhang is indeed extraordinary. He has cultivated to the third layer of Yuanying in less than three hundred years. He is indeed powerful, very powerful."
Dao Brother Peng snorted and slammed the table. He said, "When Senior Martial Brother Qi saved him from the Devil's Cave, I met him once. He was just a Xuan Light Realm disciple back then, so I didn't think much of him. Who would have thought that he would have such an opportunity after two hundred years."
Daoren looked at him and raised his wine cup. He said with a smile, "Heaven's will is unpredictable. Dao Brother Peng, you don't have to worry about it. If you had gone to the sword competition with Zhenren Qi back then, you would have been sitting in this position long ago. "
Dao Brother Peng's heart twisted. This was the thing he regretted the most in his life.
He was a member of the Peng Clan and the son-in-law of the Chen Clan. He was in the same generation as Qi Yuntian and was one of the top ten disciples. When the Qincang School was in chaos, he happened to be visiting a friend outside, so he was lucky enough to escape.
However, when he heard the news, he hid outside and did not dare to return to the mountain because he was afraid that the fierce person would come after him. It was only when Qi Yuntian returned from the Sword Competition that he sneaked back into the sect. Although he did this to protect himself, the Chen clan was greatly disappointed in him. They ordered him to be removed from his position and supported Huo Xuan, Fang Zhenlu, and the others instead.
Now, even though he'd already entered the 3rd level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he could only hold the position of an Elder on Duty in Daylight Hall. So when he saw Zhang Yan surpass him, he couldn't help but feel jealous and resentful.
Daoren drank the wine in his hand and poured himself another cup. He said, "Dao Brother, why are you so depressed? Don't you know that once the Devil's Calamity comes, it will be your chance?"
Dao Brother Peng said, "Now he is one of the top ten Chiefs. Although the title of Elder sounds good, I can't order anyone except the disciples. What can I do?"
Daoren laughed and said, "Dao Brother is Zhenren Peng's nephew. You are also the son-in-law of the Chen Clan. How many people are better than Senior Brother? Zhenren Du has retired from the position of Chief. In the next hundred years, your Qincang School will be controlled by Master and Disciple. I don't believe that the other Zhenrens will be convinced. It's just that no one can compete with Zhenren Zhang. "
After a pause, he lowered his voice and said with a hint of temptation, "Dao Brother, if you stand out now, you can compete with Zhenren Zhang. As long as you stand firm and make a few more contributions, I'm afraid that the position of Temple Master will belong to you in the future. "
Dao Brother Peng sneered and said, "Don't think that I can't guess what you are thinking. If your Yuan Yang Sect wants to take advantage of the Devil's Calamity, my Qincang School will be in chaos. I'm afraid that will be what you want, right? "
Daoren admitted, "A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. Daoren, that is my plan. But if you don't have this intention, what can I say?"
Daoist Peng fell into deep thought. Although he had cultivated for nearly 600 years, he was still a Daoist. Although he had been cultivating for nearly six hundred years, he didn't have any outstanding achievements, and the Chen Clan didn't support him anymore. If there were no accidents, it would be almost impossible for him to see the Cave in this life. But if he could make some achievements in the Devil's Calamity … He might still have a chance.
He also knew that among the disciples of the aristocratic families, there was no one who could compete with Zhang Yan. It was true that there was no one who could contend with Zhang Yan. If he could grasp this point, then as long as he did one or two great things, he might be able to regain the favor of the Chen Clan.
After thinking for a while, he was a little tempted, but he couldn't show it on his face. His face darkened, and he pretended to be unhappy and said, "In the future, don't mention this in front of me, Dao Friend." After saying that, he stood up, waved his sleeves and left.
Daoren looked at the leaving figure with a playful expression. He poured himself another cup of wine and drank it slowly, muttering to himself, "There will be a good show to watch."
Inside the hole at the bottom of the sea, the waterfall that was rushing down suddenly surged, the water was like a curtain, it actually separated from the two sides, and then a clear light that connected the top and bottom like a pillar came down, with a rumbling sound, it rushed to the stone platform below, even the stalagmites on the top of the cave were shaken down a lot. There seemed to be a clear light turning, Zhang Yan then walked out and stepped into the cave.
His gaze swept back and forth. It had been more than two hundred years since he last came here, but this place was brighter and more spacious than before. At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the sea eye, but the density of the spiritual Qi was similar to that of the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake.
He raised his eyebrows. This was a place that was beneficial to the Devil Sect, and he didn't believe that they wouldn't make a fuss about it. However, since he wanted to open the sea eye and let the disciples come down to train, whether or not there were Devil Sect cultivators sneaking in, he had to investigate thoroughly.
With a turn of his Xuan Qi, a ball of green cloud appeared under his feet. With his sleeves behind his back, he released a strong wind and walked towards the depths of the Devil Cave.
This time, it seemed to have set off a violent storm. As a cultivator of the third level of Yuanying, his mana was far more tyrannical than those of the same generation. The spiritual machine that he controlled covered a radius of ten miles. Wherever he passed by, many demons didn't even have time to dodge before they were crushed into broken essence.
After entering a depth of ten thousand feet, his figure paused and slightly restrained the Qi dynamic on his body. He stood at a distance and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he casually grabbed something out of thin air. It was like a cloud of mist, and its appearance was constantly changing. Sometimes it was a man, sometimes it was a woman, and its entire body was also uncertain. It was a Phantom Demon that was born from the Yin Essence of the Netherworld.
This was what he was looking for. The Devil Cave was wide, and if there were really Devil Sect cultivators here, they would most likely have a secret technique to hide, and might not be able to find them.
However, even if it could hide from him, it could not hide from this demon. As long as this thing sensed vitality, it would definitely change its appearance. However, no matter how it changed, it would definitely imitate a living person, and would not create something out of nothing. As this thing in the Devil Cave could not be killed completely, it would regenerate after being killed. Even if he wanted to guard against it, there was no way he could.
With a turn of his divine sense, a square jade seal suddenly flew up, turned in mid-air, and released a ray of brilliance to shine down.
After looking for a while, he sneered.
As the head of the disciples, he had the power to punish and supervise the disciples in the sect. This head of the jade seal, other than the top ten disciples and the elders in the sect, could be used to check the name, master, and appearance of any disciple, even the true disciples were no exception.
However, under this light, there was an appearance that he could not identify. It was not that there were outsiders who had sneaked in these years, but it was very likely that there were Devil Sect cultivators hiding here!
