PS: There will be more at night.
In less than two days, Zhang Yan and the others returned to the Clear Darkness Heavenly Lake from Shaoqing.
After receiving the greetings of the disciples, he set up the sword pool in the cave abode and went to the Floating Celestial Palace to report.
He wanted to invite Miao Kun along, but the latter did not dare to meet the sect master, so he could only go alone. When he arrived at the front of the hall, he was called in by the deacon boy. When he entered the inner hall and saw Sect Master Qin, he immediately bowed and said, "This disciple's trip was smooth. This is a letter from Sect Master Yue, asking me to pass it to you."
He raised his hands and presented a letter to her.
This letter was given to him by Ying Chunqiu before he left, and he solemnly instructed him to pass it to Sect Master Qin.
Although this action seemed normal, he had a vague feeling that the Sect Leaders of the two sects seemed to be planning something big.
Sect Master Qin took a look at it, and the letter flew up and slowly landed in front of him. He picked it up, opened it and scanned through it, then kept it. He said calmly, "Since you've learned the Shaoqing Sword Art, then go back and cultivate properly. When the devil's cave appears, I hope that you'll be able to raise the prestige of my Bi Cang."
Zhang Yan said, "In the next thirty years, disciple will make arrangements to deal a heavy blow to the six demon sects."
Sect Master Qin nodded and smiled, not saying anything else.
After Zhang Yan bowed, he left the hall and took up his sword to break through the astral wind, flying like a meteor. Not long after, he left the Dragon Abyss Lake and returned to the Clear Darkness Heavenly Lake.
After entering the residence and sitting down, he could not help but fall into deep thought.
When he obtained the Divine Sealing Pure Hut that day, he guessed from the pill jade that there were still sixty years before the Devil's Cave would appear in the world, but he could not confirm it completely. Just now when he probed with his words, Sect Leader Qin did not deny it, so it was obvious that this guess was true. Then he had to make arrangements earlier.
Once the demonic cave appeared, the top ten disciples of the Qincang School would have to fight, regardless of whether they were willing or not.
But it was unknown if it was because of the demon sects' luck. Thirty years later. Xiao Sha, Zhuang Bu Fan, Luo Qing Yu, Han Suyi, and the others had all left their positions. Du De, who had gone to Daylight Hall to become an elder, had lost half of the original ten disciples.
At that time, the people who would replace them would only be at the Core Transformation stage, so they wouldn't be of much use in this battle. Fortunately, during the years he had been in Shaoqing, Chen Feng and Feng Kong had both attained Yuanying, so they still had some combat power.
As for completely shattering and suppressing the demonic cave, only the people of the Heavenly Abode could do it. However, once a cultivator reached this realm, as long as it didn't involve the safety of the sect, they would be able to do it. They wouldn't easily make a move. Therefore, they still needed the disciples to decide the victor, just like the players behind the chessboard.
In comparison, he was still a chess piece. It was just that he was relatively more important than the others, and couldn't be easily destroyed. However, if he could successfully suppress this devil's cave this time, he would be able to do so. In the future, he would have a chance of becoming the chess player.
Zhang Yan knew his shortcomings. Without the Heavenly Abode as his master, his foundation was a little unstable. At the moment, everyone was pressured by his past achievements, so no one made trouble for him. However, once he failed, someone would definitely come out to reprimand him, and the outcome would be hard to say.
Although the sect leader could protect him, the path to the Grand Dao would definitely be blocked. However, the path towards the great dao would definitely be obstructed. That was why this battle was extremely important. They had to go all out.
However, before he wanted to fight, he had to know his enemy. Even though he was the top of the ten disciples of the Qincang School, he knew the details of the six demon sects. However, he didn't know much. It wasn't that the sect didn't try to find out, but because of the characteristics of the two sects' cultivation techniques, it was difficult for the people in the Xuanmen Sect to find out any valuable information.
He fell into deep thought. His gaze darkened. The chess piece that he had buried more than two hundred years ago could now be used.
At the same time, in the palace on the tenth floor of the Heavenly Lake of Clear Serenity, spiritual energy suddenly surged in a cave room. It was like a rising tide, rising steadily. There was also the sound of thunder from time to time. However, because it was deep in the cave, it was surrounded by layers of restrictions, so it wasn't noticed by others.
After a few hours, all the spiritual energy calmed down, and the door of the cave opened. A tall and strong cultivator walked out steadily. He had a square forehead, bright eyes, a short moustache on his chin, and his shoulders were extremely wide. He looked calm and powerful, and there was a thick cloud on top of his head. At first glance, he looked like a turtle's back, but at second glance, he looked like a precious pill.
A white-haired servant in front of the door was originally sleeping outside. At this moment, he was suddenly awakened. He looked up and rubbed his eyes. Then, he was surprised and happy. He said with some uncertainty, "You, you, are you Master? Is it Master?"
Tian Kun grunted and said, "It's me."
The old servant suddenly became excited. For some reason, he felt sad in his heart. He knelt down and hugged Tian Kun's legs. He said, "It's been fifty years, I finally see Master again."
He was a servant of the Wang family. After he came to the residence, he only saw Tian Kun once. However, this was considered good. After his two predecessors entered the residence, they didn't see Tian Kun even once until they died of old age.
Although he cried with tears and snot, Tian Kun didn't feel disgusted. He asked, "Is Master in the residence?"
The old servant was stunned. Then, he said awkwardly, "I don't know about this …" He patted his head. "Master has come out of seclusion. I'll go and report to Madam …"
Tian Kun didn't stop him. He said yes and looked at the back of the hunched back leaving. He stood at the same place and waited quietly.
Not long later, he smelled a fragrance. Then, Wang Caiting's figure entered his sight. She looked over and suddenly brightened. She said in surprise, "Senior brother, you've cultivated Yuanying?"
Although Tian Kun had been in seclusion for more than a hundred years, he and Wang Caiting were both cultivators. Their lifespans were long. Even if it was something that happened more than a hundred years ago, it was as if it was yesterday. He didn't feel unfamiliar just because he hadn't seen her for a long time. He immediately smiled and said, "I've just made some progress. Junior sister, is Master in the residence?"
Wang Caiting came up and held his hand naturally. She said, "Master has just returned from Shaoqing. Senior brother can go and visit him."
Tian Kun paused and said, "I've been in seclusion for a long time. I don't know what's going on outside. Junior sister, can you tell me some important things so that I don't embarrass myself when I meet Master."
Wang Caiting pouted and said, "With me by your side, how can Senior brother embarrass himself? Feel free to visit him. "As she said that, she dragged him to Zhang Yan's residence.
Jiuling Sect, Soul Leading Cave.
Su Yi 'ang was refining the flag in his hands. Black smoke rumbled around him and there were numerous spirits crying out. At this moment, his heart jumped and his expression tensed up. He instantly noticed that Zhang Yan was calling him.
He looked around hurriedly. Even if he was in his own residence, he was still wary of the methods of his fellow sect members. He was afraid that someone would notice that something was wrong.
He looked around a few times and confirmed that no one had done anything to the surroundings. Only then did he enter a meditative state and try his best to sense with his mind.
After a long time, he came out from his meditative state.
Although he couldn't speak, he could vaguely sense that Zhang Yan had ordered him to find out about the actions of the Demon Sect over the past few decades.
That day, after he was released by Zhang Yan. He tried to snatch the body of a Demon Sect cultivator and then joined a small Demon Sect. He wanted to find a chance to join one of the six Demon Sects. However, he didn't expect that an envoy from Jiuling Sect would choose him and want him to become a disciple.
His bloodline was under Elder Cai Deyan. Although his position in the sect was not low, there were more than a hundred disciples, and only two of them were outstanding. Both of them had entered the Nascent Soul Realm. His master, Liu Gu, had entered the sect early, but he was only at the first level of the Core Transformation Realm. He was one of the people that was not valued the most.
However, that was also the case. He didn't pose much of a threat to his fellow sect members. Thus, he got along well with his senior and junior brothers. As such, he saved a lot of effort when dealing with the third generation disciples. If he had an arrogant Master who looked down on his fellow sect members, it would be tough for him to do anything.
During these few years, he had asked around and found out about many things. Although these things weren't really secrets within the Demon Sect, they weren't things that Xuanying Sect could easily find out. He decided to think of a way to send them out. However, he couldn't do it with a flying letter as it would be taken away by others. He had to leave Jiuling Sect before he could do anything.
He pointed and the black smoke was kept into the flag. He then kept it and exited the cave. After confirming the direction, vengeful energy rose up from beneath his feet. Wrapping his body, he followed a deep tunnel and flew downwards.
The mountain gate of the Jiuling Sect was the most secretive out of the six great demon sects. Other than the Elders, no one else knew where the Spirit Cave was. As for the disciples of the sect, it was even more rare for them to gather together. They were usually separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles. In fact, even if they were to bump into each other occasionally, they would never see their true bodies. Thus, they did not bump into a single person along the way.
After flying in the underground tunnel for about an hour, he arrived in front of an inconspicuous cave. Below him was a well that had been frozen by the cold air. Without any hesitation, he jumped in and broke through the ice surface. Using the water channel, he swam for a few miles and rushed upwards. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he arrived in a beautiful courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds. A hundred steps away from him was an exquisite bamboo building. Several peacocks were pecking on the ground, and there were also four or five beautiful women playing and playing, pushing swings and throwing pots into the water.
Su Yi 'ang's body was handsome. The few girls all looked at him with burning gazes. However, he didn't look at them and just walked towards the bamboo building.
If others were to be fooled by his appearance, how could he not know that this was a spiritual baby that his teacher had refined? Apart from the outside being a piece of human skin, the inside was empty. There was only a ball of blood-corroding energy.
After entering the building, he saw that there was no one here. However, he didn't find it strange. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple greets teacher."
Suddenly, a cloud of smoke spurted out from the ground and a person appeared. However, he was wrapped tightly with a flag that was filled with talismans. Only a pair of watery eyes could be seen. A gentle female voice rang out, "Disciple, why have you come to my place?"
Su Yi 'ang didn't dare to raise his head. He said, "Teacher, disciple has been in the sect for a long time. Although my cultivation level has improved, I have too few methods to protect myself. Thus, I'm asking for permission from teacher to go out and find fated chances so that I can cultivate divine arts and Dao techniques."
Liu Gu sighed and said, "If you want to go, teacher won't stop you. However, remember not to go to the Qincang School's territory. Zhang Yan's methods are amazing. He can control the three great Yuanying cultivators in his sect to work for him. If you encounter a Qincang disciple, avoid them if you can. There's no need to face them."
Su Yi 'ang made a grateful expression and said, "Disciple thanks teacher for the advice."
Liu Gu reminded again, "Teacher's aptitude isn't good, but your talent is better than teacher's. Protect your life well and be careful. In the future, your name might be on the Myriad Spirit Rock."
"Disciple will remember teacher's teachings."
Su Yi 'ang bowed again and received the talisman to leave the mountain. He excused himself and came up to the surface with his pill qi.
