PS: There will be two more updates tomorrow.
Three days later, a spiritual light flew out of the Guardian Palace and went straight to the Clear Serenity Lake. When it reached the door, the mirror spirit opened the formation door and let it into the depths of the cave.
With Zhang Yan's care, Jing You had been paying attention to the small devil's cave for the past few days. He wrote a letter every day and didn't dare to slack off. When he saw the spiritual light fly in, he knew that today's letter had arrived. He took it and was shocked. He hurriedly went into the cave and bowed, "Master, the disciple on duty at the Eye of the Sea reported that more than twenty disciples who went to the devil's cave to cultivate last night suddenly disappeared."
When Zhang Yan heard this, his eyes turned cold. There was a devil in the devil's cave that attracted people's hearts. If the disciple's heart wasn't firm, it was inevitable that they would be harmed. However, more than twenty people disappeared in one night. This was not an ordinary reason. He said in a low voice, "Let me see."
Jing You hurriedly handed over the letter.
After Zhang Yan read it, he threw the letter on the table and said coldly, "Who was responsible for patrolling the devil's cave a month ago?"
Jing You hurriedly said, "It was Zhenren Peng's disciple, Xue Song."
Zhang Yan sneered. Because opening the Eye of the Sea was not a small matter, he was afraid that the cultivators of the Devil Sect had not been completely wiped out, so he sent disciples to check it out. However, Peng Yuzhou swore that with the protection of his sect, nothing would happen, so he blocked the people he sent.
This person was one of the top ten disciples in the past. It would be a joke to say that he couldn't even handle such a small matter. It was most likely that he didn't care about the lives of his disciples. He said, "Pass down my order, order Zihong to go to the devil's cave to protect that group of disciples." He paused for a moment, then said, "Call Caiwei and Caiting here."
Jing You immediately went to pass down the order.
Not long after. The Wang sisters entered the cave and paid their respects to him.
Zhang Yan flicked his sleeves on the couch and threw down a talisman. He said, "The two of you take this talisman and capture Peng Yuzhou's disciple, Xue Song. If anyone tries to stop you, don't hesitate to take them down."
Wang Caiwei took the token with both hands. She thought for a while, then bowed and asked, "May I ask Master? If Elder Peng steps forward to stop me, what should I do? "
Zhang Yan said, "Master will make arrangements. The two of you can rest assured."
The Wang sisters didn't ask any more questions. After bowing, they retreated.
Zhang Yan sat for a moment, then reached into his sleeve and picked up a brush from the table. 'Shua, shua, shua!' After writing two letters, he circulated his transcendence energy and turned into two rays of spiritual light that flew out of the mansion.
As he watched the letter fly out, his eyes flickered. The Daylight Temple was one of the Three Great Temples. Peng Yuzhou was an elder of the palace and had a high status in the sect. He couldn't control him, but it didn't mean that no one could control him.
Above the Great Dragon Lake, Peng Yuzhou sat in a flying car. It was pulled by a two-headed scarlet-winged Vermilion Bird. It was heading towards the Guardian Palace.
There was a slight smile on his face. In the past month, he had visited several clan leaders in the sect, and many of them had agreed to help him build up his influence. Many clans had even sent their disciples over to serve him because they valued his status as an elder of the Daylight Temple.
He felt that in the past few hundred years, there had never been such an advantageous situation like the one he was in now.
With Du De gone and Zhang Yan ascending to the position of one of the Ten First Seats, it could be imagined that in the next few hundred years, the clans would be firmly suppressed by the Master and Disciple Sect. Now that he stood out, it could be said that he had grasped the key point. Because other than him, there was almost no one else in the clans who could stand out to compete.
He sneered. Others might be afraid of Zhang Yan, but he wasn't.
When Qi Yuntian became the First Seat of the Ten First Seats, he was already the Eldest Disciple of the third generation. His cultivation was high, and he had made great contributions to the sect during the sword competition. Behind him, he had the support of the Sect Master and the entire Master and Disciple Sect, so it could be said that no one dared to disrespect him.
And for Huo Xuan to ascend to this position, he had the support of the four clans. Later on, it was the same for Du De.
But in his view, although Zhang Yan had cultivated to the third stage of Yuanying and was the number one in the sword competition among the Eighteen Sects, no one in the same generation could compare to him, but compared to Qi Yuntian and Huo Xuan, he had a big flaw, and that was that he didn't have the support of the Master and Disciple Sect Master. For example, with his identity as an Elder of the Daylight Temple, there was no way to control him.
Now that the Devil's Cave had appeared, if he could make great contributions to the sect and regain the favor of the clans, then he could suppress Zhang Yan. After that, he would be able to compete with Huo Xuan for the position of the Daylight Temple Master.
Thinking up to this point, he couldn't help but be complacent. At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he saw a streak of smoke flying towards him. It was his disciple, Xue Gao. He ordered the disciple in front to slow down the flying carriage and waited for Xue Gao to come over. He then asked, "Didn't I tell you to focus on cultivating in the cave for the next few days? Why did you come here?"
Xue Song looked a little flustered. He knelt down and said, "Master, disciple is afraid that disciple has committed a crime. I'm here to ask for Master's protection."
Peng Yuzhou frowned and asked, "What is it?"
Xue Gao lowered his head and said, "Yesterday in the Minor Devil's Cave, more than twenty disciples disappeared overnight. Disciple was terrified and afraid that the sect would blame me, so I came to find Master."
Peng Yuzhou looked at him and said, "Is it because of this?"
Xue Gao said anxiously, "Yes."
Peng Yuzhou snorted and said unhappily, "I thought something big had happened." He shook his head and said, "Didn't you go and check under the Devil's Cave?"
Xue Song said, "Yes, according to what disciple saw at the time, I didn't find anything strange."
The Devil's Cave was vast and filled with devils. He was only a Core Formation cultivator, so how could he dare to go deep? Moreover, Peng Yuzhou had already said that he didn't need to be too serious and was just going to deal with it casually. He didn't think that there really were devil sect cultivators hiding there. Peng Yuzhou could ignore the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, but he was a bit afraid.
Peng Yuzhou said disapprovingly, "Since that's the case, it has nothing to do with you. It's just the death of a few junior disciples, so why are you so flustered? I'm going to the Guardian Palace to discuss some matters. If someone really comes to blame you, just tell them to come find me." With that, he ordered the disciples in front of him to pull the Vermillion Bird and continue on their way.
When Xue Song heard this, he calmed down and respectfully bowed. He stood on the cloud and watched the flying carriage fly away. Then, he stepped on the smoke and returned to his cave.
But before he could go far, two girls who looked similar to each other suddenly came over on a smoke, and one of them came up. One of them came up with an object in her hand and said, "Are you Xue Song? I'm here on Master's orders to bring you back for questioning. "
When Xue Song saw the token, he couldn't help but be shocked. He took a few steps back and said calmly, "Why is Daoist Zhang looking for me?"
Wang Caiting laughed and said, "Sister, there's no need for him to say so much. He knows very well in his heart. He's pretending to be confused. "
Xue Song said sternly, "I'm under Master Peng, and he's an elder of Daylight Hall. You dare to come and capture me?"
Wang Caiwei said solemnly, "Senior Brother Xue, it's true that your master is an elder of Daylight Hall, but as long as you're a disciple of my Qincang sect, you'll be under my master's control."
Xue Song knew that he couldn't fight the two of them together. If he resisted, it would be hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be captured. Thus, he jumped and fled into the clouds. As long as he could get to Peng Yuzhou, the two girls couldn't do anything to him.
Wang Caiting was on guard when she saw his eyes flickering. Now that she saw him run away, he shrugged. Now that he was fleeing, she immediately took out a silk belt and waved it lightly. It flashed with seven colors and turned into rays of rainbow light that chased after him. At the same time, she said, "Sister, stop him."
Wang Caiwei made a hand seal. She had already escaped into the Killer Yin Saber. The saber light turned and instantly flashed into the sky. In a breath's time, she was in front of Xue Song. She waved her hand and two saber lights, one Yin and one Yang, chopped down.
Xue Song had no choice but to dodge to the side to avoid the saber light. But because of this obstruction, his momentum was also slowed down. He had no choice but to stop and fight. With a 'hei' sound, a wine cup flew up from the top of his head. It spun once and sprinkled a red glow on his body. He then pushed his hands away and shook his shoulders. A cloud of smoke rose behind him and converged into countless golden flying blades that flew towards the Wang sisters.
Wang Caiting snorted and hid her hand in her sleeve. With a flick of her finger, a jade bead flew out. In front of her, Wang Caiwei and her mind were connected. They raised their hands and pressed down at the same time. Suddenly, a delicate fragrance filled the air. Wisps of green smoke scattered down and all the golden flying blades disappeared one by one.
Xue Song saw that the situation wasn't good and was about to use another method. At this moment, the jade bead had already arrived. It suddenly flew towards the wine cup. There was a loud sound and the red glow on his body was broken. His chest felt stuffy and his body felt weak. He was about to fall from the clouds. He hurriedly steadied himself. However, this delay allowed the ribbon in Wang Caiting's hand to fly over. In the blink of an eye, he was trapped and couldn't move anymore.
Xue Song struggled but he couldn't escape. He couldn't help but panic, but he didn't admit defeat. He shouted, "Fine, go ahead and capture me. My master is an elder of the Daylight Temple. Let's see how you deal with this later."
The Wang sisters didn't pay any attention to him. They stuck a few more talismans on his body. Only then did they rise up into the air and fly north.
At the same time, Peng Yuzhou arrived at the Shouming Palace. Qin Nan came out to greet him. They sat down in the hall and exchanged a few words. Then he asked, "Junior Sister Qin, did Immortal Peng summon me for something?"
He wanted to come out and fight. It wasn't that he didn't want Immortal Peng's support. After all, he was a member of the Peng family. It was just that he didn't get any response from Immortal Peng. Since Qin Nan had always treated him coldly, he suddenly thought that there might be a response from Immortal Peng. He was slightly excited and immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.
Qin Nan said, "It wasn't my master who asked you to come. It was someone else."
Peng Yuzhou was surprised and asked, "Who?"
At this moment, he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Zhang Yan slowly walking out from the back of the hall. When he came near, he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Elder Peng."
Peng Yuzhou's brows raised as he glanced at Zhang Yan, then glanced at Qin Nan, and he instantly came to an understanding. He grunted coldly and said, "I was wondering who it was. So it's Daoist Zhang. May I know why you called me here?"
Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "Yesterday, in the Minor Demon Cave, more than twenty disciples died for no reason. Does Elder Peng know about it?"
Peng Yuzhou became a little impatient when he heard it was about this again. He said, "I've heard about it."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I've said before that the clean-up of the Minor Demon Cave involves the safety of our Qincang disciples. If anything goes wrong, I will punish them. Since Elder Peng knows about it, don't blame me for not respecting our friendship."
Peng Yuzhou became vigilant and said, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Yan said indifferently, "I've already ordered people to arrest Xue Song. When the time comes, he will be punished according to his crime."
Peng Yuzhou suddenly stood up and anger appeared on his face. He then took a deep breath and suppressed it. He said, "Immortal Zhang, as the Ten Great Disciples' First Seat, how can you lower your status and stand up for a few junior disciples?"
