After five o 'clock, Zhang Yan flew out of the Fang Chen Courtyard on a beam of light. He hadn't gone far when he saw a spiritual light flying toward him. He immediately stopped and caught it in his hand. He looked at it and discovered that it was an urgent letter from Qiu Hanyue.
It said that a demonic cultivator had come to attack the altar this morning.
It wasn't strange for the demonic sect to attack. The reason why Zhang Yan built the altar was to force them out so that he could deal with them one by one. But when he looked at the back, a name jumped into his eyes.
"Han Ji?"
He thought about it carefully, but he still recognized this person.
When he went to the Little Demon Cave to cultivate, this person was one of the people who went into the ocean with him. He helped him out and this person went to join the Blood Soul Sect. Later on, he got bits and pieces of news about this person. He didn't think that he would suddenly appear here.
But there was something strange. Why did this person reveal his name? Was it intentional or not?
The letter described in detail that Han Ji came very suddenly. After breaking the two altars, he saw that the two altars below were well guarded, so he turned around and left.
This action looked very normal, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be a different meaning in his actions and words.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yan's heart moved slightly. He guessed a few possibilities. He kept the letter and used the conveyance light again to return to the Clear Darkness Heavenly Lake.
In just a short while, he returned to the cave abode and sat down on the couch.
The table was filled with documents from various sects. They were all reporting the number of altars built by each sect in the past month.
He didn't mind the trivialities and carefully read through every letter. He saw that Linqing, Beichen, and Biyu were the most attentive. However, this was also because these three sects were on the banks of the river, so it was convenient for them to carry out their tasks.
After he finished reading these. He found another letter underneath, and it was sent from Huanzhen Temple.
The person who sent the letter could be considered an old acquaintance. It was Zhao Houzhou who came to his cave abode to craft weapons.
This time, this person heard that Zhang Yan had set up altars and restrictions everywhere. He guessed that the demonic sect might be forced to come out to fight, so he volunteered to help.
Among the three southwest sects of the Celestial Sect of Wonders … Only the Huanzhen Temple could be considered as the oldest sect. However, for thousands of years, they often used the method of killing demons. As a result, there were too many casualties among the disciples. Among them, there was no lack of handsome disciples. Today, there were only two people in the Huanzhen Temple. However, this was also determined by the nature of their martial arts. If he were to shut himself away, it would be difficult to nurture outstanding people.
In order to deal with the Devil's Doctrine, Zhang Yan would never complain about having more disciples. Since there were people who were willing to come, of course he would not reject them. He immediately picked up his brush. He was prepared to write a reply personally to show his sincerity.
At this moment, Jing You walked in with a stack of talismans and carefully placed them on the side of the table. When they were neatly arranged, he took out the top one and said softly, "Master, this is a flying letter from Linqing Monastery. He said that there was an urgent matter that required Master's personal attention. "
Zhang Yan flicked his wrist and wrote down the last few words. Then, he threw down the brush and took the letter from before. After opening it, he sneered and said, "In the end, he couldn't hold it in any longer."
This letter was sent by Yuan Yanhui and Weng Zhiyuan. It said that demonic clouds covered the sky outside Green Bull Mountain and no less than six elders of the Devil's Doctrine appeared nearby. Looking at it, it seemed that they wanted to besiege the mountain. They were probably here to take revenge for what happened last time, so they immediately sent a letter asking for help.
If he was only guessing that Han Ji might have come to warn him, then he was most likely sure now. Otherwise, the timing would not be so coincidental.
However, looking at the situation revealed between the lines, although the cultivators of the Devil's Doctrine were outside Green Bull Mountain, it seemed like the situation was very urgent. However, on the surface, it only looked like they were a little stronger. They did not actually attack the mountain.
Looking at it this way, there were only two goals. One was to surround Linqing Monastery and kill the people who came to help in revenge for the defeat last time.
The other was to create a diversion. Linqing Monastery was only to attract their attention, but the main attack location was actually somewhere else.
Zhang Yan judged that the possibility of the former was not high. Because the six great demon sects were still the weaker side compared to the ten sects of the Celestial Sect, they had always tried their best to avoid a direct confrontation. If they really did so this time, he was extremely willing to fight them.
If it was the latter, then where would the other party's real goal be?
He thought about Han Ji's previous actions and the answer seemed to be on the verge of appearing.
However, although Han Ji had received his kindness in the past, who knew how his personality had changed in the past two hundred years?
What if it was not a warning, but a deliberate trap? He had to be on guard.
He placed the letter on the table. If he were to fill in the gaps at the last moment, then he would be a step behind.
Long before he ordered the sects to build the altar, he had already considered the possible scenarios clearly and had already made sufficient preparations. As long as his family did not panic, there would be no major problems.
And the key point now was that he had finally forced this person out with great difficulty. His original goal had already been half achieved. The next step was to think of a way to make him stay.
His gaze suddenly became deeper. The fish was already next to the bait, but it had not taken the bait yet. If his reaction was too much, it would be noticed by the people of the Devil Sect first. If they retreated or chose another sect to attack, then it would be even more difficult to find an opportunity next time.
Therefore, he had to make a 'reasonable' arrangement to successfully lure them over.
After thinking for a long time, he said to Jing You, "Go and invite Ge Tongshan Zhenren to my place."
About a moment later, a green-robed Taoist quickly walked over. This person's movements were graceful and his expression was frivolous. As soon as he entered the cave, he smiled and bowed, "Zhenren Zhang greets you."
Zhang Yan returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Ge Shixiong is the Elder of the sect. If you think it is appropriate, you can call I Shidi."
Ge Tongshan straightened his body and said, "Although I have returned to the sect, I have not regained my old identity. The title of Elder does not live up to the name. But since Shidi Zhang said so, I will be presumptuous for once."
The two sat down and exchanged some pleasantries. Zhang Yan then said, "Today, I invited Ge Shixiong to ask a favor."
Ge Tongshan's spirits rose. He wasn't like Han and Cai, who had already made numerous contributions to the sect, but still hadn't been accepted as a disciple. Because of this, he was also anxious about this matter. Immediately, he said, "Junior Martial Brother, please tell me. As long as I can contribute to the sect, I will agree."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Ge Shixiong can definitely do this. Just Now, I have received news that the Devil Sect may want to make a move on a small sect in my sect. However, I do not know which sect it is. There are two most likely places, Linqing Temple and Blue Feather Pavilion. I have already made arrangements for Linqing Temple. Blue Feather Pavilion will be guarded by Senior Brother Ge. "
Ge Tongshan agreed without thinking. He said, "May I ask when we will leave?"
Zhang Yan said, "The sooner the better."
Ge Tongshan was also free and easy. He immediately stood up and bowed. "Then I will be on my way now. However, since the Devil Sect has returned, they must have some powerful means. I will be thick-skinned this time. Can I ask Shidi Zhang to borrow the Lofty Cloud Tower? "
Zhang Yan smiled and took out a talisman from his sleeve and placed it in Ge Tongshan's hand. He said, "Senior Brother Ge, just take it."
Once Ge Tongshan received the talisman, he immediately became a hundred times more confident. He bowed and said, "I will not let you down." After saying that, he left the cave abode and did not hesitate for a moment. He flew towards the Blue Feather Pavilion.
In the Blood Soul Sect. On the Sage Meeting Platform, Feng Qingping and the six elders on duty gathered together and were waiting for news from outside the mountain.
In fact, there had already been a letter sent over previously. However, Feng Qingping was worried and it was not time to move yet. Hence, he ordered his trusted disciple to investigate.
The night passed. When it was noon, another letter arrived and circled above everyone's heads. Feng Qingping raised his hand. He grabbed it and looked at it. After looking at it for a hundred breaths, he flicked his finger and the book immediately turned into spots of spiritual light and dissipated.
Li Xiu turned her head and said, "Junior Brother Feng. Can we move? "
Feng Qingping said in a low voice, "Wait a little longer."
Another two hours passed, and at the end of the day, the sky was already bright. Finally, there was a ray of dark light outside the abode.
Below the platform, a disciple who looked capable came out and bowed to Feng Qingping. He said, "Sage Feng, the senior brothers have investigated. Qincang School's Peng Yuzhou has indeed left Qincang School and is now at Linqing Monastery. There is also a Yuanying cultivator at the Blue Feather Pavilion, but they have not found out who he is."
Feng Qingping pondered for a while and looked over sharply. He asked, "Other than that, did Qincang School do anything else?"
That disciple said loudly, "No."
Elder Yu smiled. "Looks like Qincang School has not found out anything. Junior Brother, in order to make a scene, Linqing Monastery had sent six Elders. They are not able to deal with a third stage realm cultivator like Peng Yuzhou. Should we ask them to return?"
Feng Qingping raised his hand. "No need. Since we are going, we must do our best. I have already invited Daoist Su to go over. In this way, we can keep a close eye on Peng Yuzhou and not let him spoil our plans."
Elder Yu Daoren said, "Peng Yuzhou does not have much courage. Even if we remove the encirclement, he will not dare to come out before he is clear of my intention. In this way, Daoist Su and Junior Brother Feng can work together. Even if they are up against Zhang Yan, they will have a chance of winning."
Feng Qingping seemed to be a little tempted. But after thinking about it carefully, he still did not agree to it. He said, "This is too risky. Don't mention it again."
After saying that, he stood up and looked around. In the end, his gaze landed on Li Xiu. He said, "Elder Li, take the Blood Salamander Pot and lead the rest to Northstar Sect. If Zhang Yan comes, I will hold him back. Whether we can break through this sect's mountain gate will depend on your ability."
Everyone was stunned. Li Xiu asked in surprise, "Junior Brother Feng, aren't we going to attack Blue Feather Pavilion?"
Feng Qingping said indifferently, "That was what I thought yesterday, but I changed my mind today."
He sneered in his heart. How could it be so easy to deal with Zhang Yan? Earlier, he had purposely revealed the purpose of this trip to spread the news.
If there were spies in Xuanmen Sect in Bloodsoul Sect and they changed their target before leaving, then the other party's plan would definitely fail. By the time they realized it, it would be too late to mobilize manpower.
Even if he was being paranoid, it did not matter. Northstar Sect and Qincang School had a deep friendship, and they were also one of the sects that worked the hardest to build the altar. Slaughtering them would still be able to achieve their goal.
Li Xiu's thoughts spun, and she understood this as well. Thus, she didn't speak any further and bowed to Feng Qingping before immediately calling out to the other five elders, and then she transformed into a streak that whistled towards the surface.
