In the blink of an eye, four years had passed.
In the middle of the Cheng River in Donghua State, on a nameless mountain, there was a cave hidden deep inside the mountain. The eldest disciple of the Yuan Yang Sect, Qiao Zhengdao, was sitting there quietly.
He had been here for half a year, and the person in charge of the Fenglai Mountain was a substitute. Because the person's cultivation was similar to his, he had changed his appearance and did not show himself often.
To prevent Yang Poyu from coming out again, he stopped building the altar. So until now, no one had seen through him.
As far as he knew, he was not the only one who did this. All the people who wanted to sneak into the True Cave of the Northern Region did this.
This was not only to hide from the cultivators of the Devil's Doctrine, but also to deceive the Qincang School, hoping to get the Devil's Cave first.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something. He picked up a talisman and waved it. A scene appeared in a silver mirror in front of him. In the white waves, there were several green carps patrolling back and forth. One of them had especially bright eyes. It seemed to have sensed the change of Qi dynamic, so it wandered in the underground river.
Qiao Zhengdao frowned. He could see that this was the Northern Underworld Fish Demon that Zhang Yan had placed in the major water systems. They were used as his eyes and ears. He did not care much about it before, but now it seemed like it was a big problem.
Even if he flew underground, it was faster to travel through the spirit vein. This was also the place where most of the Devil's Doctrine's prohibitions were set up. But with the talisman as a cover, there was no need to be afraid.
But now, half of the places where spiritual vigor was stagnant in the Northern Region were occupied by the altars of the small sects under the Qincang School. As long as he traveled underground, he would inevitably bump into them. Both Xuanmen and Xuanmen had different methods. The talisman could bypass the Devil's Doctrine, but it might not be detected by the Xuanmen.
There was another troublesome matter. In another thirty days, the others would meet up with him here. But looking at the current situation, it would be hard not to be discovered.
His face darkened and he raised his hand. He wanted to kill the green carp outside, but after thinking for a while, he clenched his fist and put it down.
"I heard that many elders of the North Yuyuan Tribe have surrendered to Zhang Yan. If I hit the young ones, if the old ones come out, wouldn't all my previous efforts be in vain? He had to endure it. Don't ruin the overall situation because of a moment of impulse. "
He thought about it for a long time. Other than taking a detour, there was no other way. Furthermore, he couldn't let the others come here. Something unexpected had happened before, so he had to warn them.
Thus, he took out a Dharma Plate from his sleeve, which shone with spiritual light. As soon as it appeared, it shone brightly, but in the short span of a few breaths, it retracted all of its light and became like an ordinary object.
He circulated his magic power and wrote a line of words on it.
This item was called the "Mysterious Flying Talisman". It was refined by the Heaven Mending Pavilion, and when it was sent out, it was invisible. Unless Daoist Master Heavenly Passage deliberately looked, no one would be able to discover it.
However, this item was very rare. Even though he was the eldest disciple of the sect, he was only given three pieces.
After he finished writing, he waved his sleeve lightly and sent it out. Then, he entered a meditative state.
After about a month, four rays of spiritual light suddenly flashed in this cave. Four figures appeared one after another. They all bowed to Qiao Zhengdao who was sitting on the ground.
"Greetings, Brother Qiao."
"Greetings, Eldest Brother."
Qiao Zhengdao opened his eyes and looked around. He said in a deep voice, "You haven't been discovered yet, right?"
Shi Muhua of Taihao School said confidently, "Brother Qiao, don't worry. We were already prepared. After receiving your message, we were extremely careful on our way here. "
Shi Hanshan also said, "Eldest Brother, we were on the road for more than ten days. It's to avoid detection from all sides. "
Qiao Zhengdao nodded and said, "That's good. When the demonic cave appears, we will also have to be careful when we head north."
Shi Muhua raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Brother Qiao, I don't think we need to be like this. Qincang School doesn't have the Earthly Divine Talisman like us, so we can only attack from the surface. Most of the demonic sect's arrangements are here. As long as we are fast enough, what can we do even if they discover us? By the time they arrive, we will have already taken down the demonic cave. According to the agreement of the sects, the Heavenly Abode will deal with the aftermath. Why should we be afraid? "
Shi Hanshan echoed, "Eldest Senior Brother, I agree with what you said. Even though the Earthly Divine Talisman is fast, it can only last for two hours. If we take a detour, who knows what other variables might occur. The faster we move, the better. We must kill our way into the Devil's Lair before the other families can react!"
Qiao Zhengdao pondered for a while, then turned to a handsome young Daoist on the far right and asked, "Junior Brother Yuan, what do you think?"
Yuan Zirong smiled and said, "Before coming here, Yellow Zhenren told me to listen to my Senior Brothers. Whatever you say, I will do."
Qiao Zhengdao said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Shi's words are reasonable. Let's do as he says."
Shi Muhua said happily, "Good. Once the demonic cave appears, we will kill our way in and make a great contribution!"
After the five finished their discussion, they each chose a place to sit down. Then, they calmed their minds and restrained their breath. They closed their eyes and waited for the demonic cave to appear.
In the blink of an eye, another year passed.
In the Heavenly Lake of Clear Serenity, Zhang Yan was guiding the cultivation of the third generation disciples. However, after saying a few words, he suddenly stopped. Then, his eyes lit up and he looked outside.
Many disciples revealed bewildered expressions, and only Liu Yanyi, Tian Kun, and Wei Zihong sensed something in their hearts, and their expressions gradually became solemn.
Not long after, the disciples felt a tremor coming from under their feet. At first, it was very small, but it became more and more intense. Then, the entire Heavenly Lake of Clear Serenity began to shake. They could also hear the rumbling sound, and the tremor became more and more intense.
However, when it reached the most intense moment, it suddenly disappeared, and the world returned to silence.
It seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like a long time. Then, there were several loud rumbles, and the ground shook up and down. Five beams of spiritual light shot up from all directions in the Donghua Continent. They were like rainbows, shining in the sky, covering the sun and the sky. It was difficult to tell day from night for a moment. The surging was so intense that it was like a tsunami. Even in the Dongsheng Continent, which was far away by the ocean, the cultivators in the continent also felt a little strange.
Zhang Yan looked up at the sky, his eyes deep. He said in a deep voice, "The demonic cave has appeared. Pass down my chief's order, order everyone to quickly gather at the Heavenly Lake of Clear Serenity, and follow me to suppress it!"
Almost at the same time, Qiao Zhengdao suddenly woke up from his meditation. He carefully sensed for a moment, and his eyes lit up. He stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "The time has come!"
The four people beside him also woke up at the same time and stood up.
Qiao Zhengdao said in a deep voice, "Everyone, success or failure depends on this. The prosperity of the sect rests on our shoulders. Don't let down the master's trust!"
The four of them nodded solemnly.
Qiao Zhengdao took out the Earthly Divine Talisman from his sleeve and patted it lightly. Suddenly, a cool breeze surrounded his body, and his whole person became like a cloud, faintly discernible.
The four of them did the same.
Qiao Zhengdao saw that everyone was prepared and nodded at them. The five of them activated their Xuan Qi, and in an instant, five weak beams of spiritual light shot out from underground, and with the speed of lightning, they rushed towards the north.
Although the Earthly Divine Talisman could only last for two hours, its speed was almost comparable to that of the Yuanying cultivators flying in the sky above Jiutian. Everywhere it passed, it stirred up a lot of Spiritual Opportunity, but the Devil's Doctrine's prohibition did not sense it at all.
But in the aspect of Xuanmen, it was different.
On an altar in front of Dan Yang Mountain in Beichen Sect, a disciple suddenly exclaimed in surprise. His fellow disciple beside him was from the Yan family. Just Now, there was an unusually big commotion in the continent, so how could he not know that the Devil's Cave had appeared? It was a tense moment, and when he heard the commotion, he immediately came up and asked, "What's wrong?"
The disciple pointed at the Talisman on the altar that had turned into ashes, and said, "Just Now, there are several Spiritual Opportunities below, and they are heading north at an extremely fast speed."
The Yan family disciple's expression changed, and he asked anxiously, "Are they Devil's Doctrine cultivators?"
The previous disciple shook his head, and said, "Doesn't look like it. Look at that Qi dynamic, they seem to be from our Xuanmen."
The Yan family disciple said, "Zhenren Zhang has ordered that we should not let go of any small details. Ignore him, and immediately report the situation here."
The disciple immediately wrote a letter, and after sealing it, he was about to throw it into the lake when the Yan family disciple shouted, "Why do we still need a fish demon to send a letter at this time? Use a flying letter to send a letter."
The disciple did not dare to disobey, and nodded in agreement. He hurriedly took the flying letter, and sent it out of the mountain.
At the same time, on the path that Qiao Zhengdao and the others had passed, they had alarmed a dozen or so altars in succession. One after another, flying letters soared into the sky, and continuously flew towards the Heavenly Lake of Clear Nether.
In the Great Lake of Dragon Lake, within the Long View Yuanzhan and Light Cave, Sun Zhenren was reclining on a jade couch. At this time, he suddenly sensed something, and sat up abruptly. He pushed away the beautiful servant girl beside him, and a clear divine light appeared in his eyes. He looked towards the southwest several times, and suddenly laughed coldly. He raised his hand, and a talisman appeared. Then, with a flick of his finger, it shot into the air with a whoosh.
At this time, Zhang Yan had already received the letters from the various departures. Hearing that there were actually people from Xuanmen traversing underground, and heading north, he could not help but focus his gaze, and pondered what their intentions were.
After a few breaths, suddenly, a ray of divine light flew over.
His expression changed, and he stretched out his hand to touch it. Immediately, he heard the voice of Sun Zhenren, "The first disciple of Yuan Yang, Qiao Zhengdao, and a couple of disciples from his sect, as well as two disciples from Taihao and Nanhua, a total of five Yuanying cultivators of the third degree realm, are heading towards the demon's cave that appeared in the north."
Zhang Yan's gaze flickered slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Today, what is the situation of the two demon's caves in the east and west of Fenglai?"
Immediately, a disciple picked up a flying letter, looked at it, and said, "The cultivators from Taihao and Nanhua are now fighting with the demonic sect. At the demon's cave in the west of Fenglai, Yuan Yang did not make a move, not even a single disciple was sent out."
Zhang Yan asked again, "Where are the disciples from Huanzhen, Lishan, Pingdu, and Mending Tian?"
The disciple picked up the letter, and said, "In reply to Founding Master, the disciples of these four sects were obstructed by the elder of the Netherworld Spring Sect, Kou Yinglong, and they are now fighting."
Zhang Yan came down to ask about the other directions, and after listening, his gaze became extremely deep. In a short moment, he had already made a clear judgment.
Looking at the overall situation, four out of the five demon's caves were still considered normal, and all of them were guarded by Xuanmen's disciples. However, the demon's cave in the west of Fenglai was suddenly ignored due to various reasons, and now it was unusually empty!
