Zhang Yan's expression was natural. He could clearly see that the other party was speaking fiercely, but his eyes were filled with fear. It was obvious that he was just bluffing and did not dare to really fight with them.
He acted as if he did not see the magic sword hanging in the sky and only said, "The spiritual essence in this place was originally hidden by my sect. Now that I have come to take it back, it's only because you are temporarily staying here. Out of righteousness, I will make up for what I owe. If you are not willing, it's fine. I can go and get it myself."
Taoist Fu stomped his foot and said, "Nonsense! The spiritual essence here was born by the heavens. I'm the Mountain Master of this mountain, so it should belong to me. How can it belong to you? "
Zhang Yanzheng said, "This is not nonsense. More than ten thousand years ago, there were several powerful people who worked together to open up this realm, and the ancestor of this poor Taoist's sect was one of them. In detail, this time, he is also here to take back his family's things."
When Taoist Fu heard this, his expression changed slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and looked him up and down. He sneered and said, "Let's not talk about whether what you said is true or false. Even if it is, why didn't you come to take it earlier? After ten thousand years, Just Now You're here, saying that you're going to return it. How is this any different from a bandit's actions? "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "There's some truth to this. The original intention of those seniors who passed down their Taoist techniques here was to have them guard the Earth Qi here, so that they can wait for the rightful owner to come and take it. Since you've received karma, how can you not return it?"
Taoist Fu snorted and waved his sleeves. He said, "I'm not here to talk to you about this. This is my territory. If you want to take it by force, I won't back down. Even if I'm not your match, there will be someone who will come and settle the score with you in the future."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since you insist, don't blame I."
He was not an unreasonable person. After all, the other party had already taken root here. If they could talk nicely, he would not take away all the Earth Qi. He would even try to make up for it with a few talismans. In that case, he could only use the most direct method to solve this problem.
Fu Dao knew that there was no way to resolve the situation peacefully. He shouted loudly and quickly gathered his spiritual energy to activate the Sword in the Sky and slashed down menacingly.
At the same time, he hurriedly turned around and fled back the way he came.
He had never had a rival in this place. He was used to acting like a tyrant. In addition, this was a desolate place. Just Now, when he came out, he was a bit careless and didn't check Zhang Yan's cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to come so close. There was a restriction set up in the cave. As long as they escaped, they would be able to escape. They could hold on for a few days before sending a letter to gather their fellow Daoists. However, they did not believe that they could not deal with this person.
Zhang Yan casually waved his sleeve, and a flame flashed, instantly melting the magic sword. Then, he pointed with his finger. Surging magic power instantly spread out and immediately locked all the spiritual vigor within a radius of 50 kilometers.
Daoist Fu's body trembled and he froze in midair, unable to move. He could not help but turn pale with fright.
Since Zhang Yan had made his move, he would not show any mercy. With a thought, the Qinghong Sword Pill immediately sensed it. It turned into a ray of light and flew over.
The protective treasure light around Daoist Fu's body couldn't stop it at all and was torn apart. However, just as it was about to hit his body, a talisman suddenly appeared and blocked the sword light, though it was only able to block it for a moment. Although it was able to block it for a while, the talisman broke into two under the sharp sword qi. A golden light flew out from it and instantly headed south.
Daoist Fu looked at the sword light above him and felt his soul leaving his body. He hissed, "I'm an elder of the Crossing Dust Monastery in the Xuanlu Continent. Just Now, the talisman that was taken off is my sect's core talisman. If you dare to kill me, the seniors of my sect will definitely not let you off."
Zhang Yan sneered and activated his spiritual energy. The Qinghong Sword Pill gave a clear whistle and the sword light went up, piercing through Daoist Fu's chest. Daoist Fu screamed and fell from the sky. He hit the ground and died on the spot.
Zhang Yan took a look and waved his sleeves. He lifted up a huge pile of soil and buried him deep.
This person wasn't his mortal enemy. Since he was dead, he would bury him so that he wouldn't be eaten by wild beasts.
He walked a few rounds in the mountain and chose a higher ground. He then sat down and threw Yan Zhuping into the air. He used his spiritual energy and started to absorb spiritual opportunity.
This time, it took him more than ten days to collect the Earth Qi, and the Earth Qi he collected was even purer than the last time. After he was done, he searched the mountain for a while, but didn't find anything special, so he leaped to another place.
In the following month, he traveled back and forth between the mountains and rivers of the North Continent. Regardless of whether it was the fiendish or demon cultivators, when they saw his vast Dharmic powers, they would retreat first. There was not a single person like Daoist Fu who fought head-on.
But thousands of miles away, the situation was very different.
The seven Xuanmen of the Donghua Continent had no choice but to send their disciples to borrow Yuxiao school's magical weapons to enter the small world to collect spiritual energy.
But as a result, they naturally had conflicts with the sects in the small world.
At first, both sides restrained themselves. However, one side needed to obtain spiritual energy while the other side needed to protect their own sect. This made it impossible for the relationship to be eased and the situation became more and more intense.
Huandan Peak was one of the three peaks of the Xuanlu Continent. It was where the most powerful sect in the continent, the Duchen Sect, was located.
At this moment, there were three cultivators sitting cross-legged in the spacious hall. They were all wearing feathered robes and star crowns.
On the main seat was the sect master, Yin Zhaokong. The two people on his left and right were the sect's two elders, Mo Zhaoyue and Lin Zhaofeng. All three of them had cultivated to the third stage of Yuanying and achieved Dharmakaya.
Mo Zhaoyue had a thick beard. He was tall and burly with thick limbs. His eyes were bright and his voice was like thunder when he spoke. "The cultivators from beyond the heavens are getting more and more arrogant. They have destroyed five sects in a row. Many small sects have come to me for help. But the sect master wants to come up with a plan."
Yin Zhaokong's sleeves were hanging down. He had a beautiful beard and his breath was deep like the waves of the sea. He had entered the third stage at the age of five hundred and had been the sect master for more than two hundred years. He knew many secrets, but he didn't want to get involved in this matter. He said indifferently, "Did any of our disciples die?"
Mo Zhaoyue said, "Not really. The sect master has given strict orders that the disciples are not to go out at will. No one dares to disobey."
Yin Zhaokong said, "As long as they don't come to our sect, let them go."
Mo Zhaoyue said anxiously, "But what about our fellow cultivators? Is the sect master going to ignore them? "
Yin Zhaokong said, "So what if we show up? A thousand years ago, the Shanghua sect was destroyed because of their strong stance. Our Crossing Earth Sect took advantage of the situation and rose. Just Now, we have today's momentum. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we cannot become enemies with these people from beyond the heavens. "
Mo Zhaoyue said, "Senior brother, do you think we can hide from them by hiding? If they really come to our Crossing Earth Sect, what will we do? "
Yin Zhaokong said indifferently, "Just let them have the sect."
Mo Zhaoyue jumped up and glared at him. "What? Senior brother, how can you say such things? Isn't this the same as destroying our own foundation? "
Yin Zhaokong said calmly, "As long as the three of us are here, if the sect is destroyed, we can just find another one."
Then his tone became stern. "Today is a time of trouble. You stay in the mountain and are not allowed to go out. You are not allowed to promise anything to those small sects. You are not allowed to fight with those cultivators from beyond the heavens. If you disobey, I will punish you severely."
Mo Zhaoyue's face turned red. He snorted and turned to leave.
When Lin Zhaofeng saw this, he quickly excused himself and rushed out of the hall. When he arrived at Lin Zhaofeng's side, he said, "Senior Martial Brother, don't be angry. Senior Martial Brother Sect Master is just saying. My Crossing Earth Sect has a grand formation, so no matter how many people they send, we won't be afraid. I believe those cultivators from beyond the heavens also know this, so they won't touch us."
Mo Zhaoyue complained, "Junior brother, Just Now, why are you not saying anything? You always have your own ideas. With you persuading from the side, senior brother Sect Master might listen to you."
Lin Zhaofeng laughed and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Senior brother, do you think that at our level of cultivation, we can still go further?"
Mo Zhaoyue was taken aback. Fiercely grabbing his beard, he said: "Junior Brother must be joking. Since ancient times, to reach our level of cultivation is already the limit. If we go any further, there will be no more path."
Lin Zhaofeng's eyes were filled with a strange brilliance as he said, "It's not that there's no way out. Senior Brother should also know that according to the ancient records of our ancestors, we are bound by this world, which is why we are like this. If we can break free, it's not impossible to advance a step further."
Mo Zhaoyue shook his head and said, "This matter is illusory. In the past ten thousand years, have you seen anyone succeed? Junior brother, it is better not to believe it. "
Lin Zhaofeng smiled and didn't continue.
After parting ways, he returned to his own cave. He called for a disciple and said, "Do you have the letters from the north?"
The disciple hurriedly said, "They have already been prepared." As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a stack of letters.
Lin Zhaofeng took them and carefully read through them one by one. They recorded what Zhang Yan had done in the past few days.
Because Daoist Fu was originally a disciple of the Crossing Dust Sect, the talisman naturally flew back to the sect after he was killed. This attracted Lin Zhaofeng's attention.
However, because Daoist Fu had violated the sect's rules, he fled to the North Continent to hide. His status as a disciple of the sect had long been taken away, but he didn't return with the talisman. Even after Lin Zhaofeng found out about this, he didn't plan to stand up for him.
He pondered for a while and thought to himself, "This person's methods are similar to those outsiders from a thousand years ago. They should be the same. Looking at his cultivation, he should be someone who has cultivated a Dharmakaya. There must be a reason why he came to obtain the Earth Qi. Maybe it's for the Elephant Realm mentioned in the ancient books. My plan might fall on this person."
The reason why he set his eyes on Zhang Yan was because in the past few days, although there were many cultivators from beyond the heavens who came to the Black Heron Continent, Zhang Yan was the only one who had entered the third degree realm. Moreover, Zhang Yan's methods were not fierce, so he felt that he could try to plan something with him.
After thinking about it, he warned his disciple, "I have something important to do and need to go out. If Sect Master wants to find me, tell him that I'm out gathering herbs. If it's urgent, you can send a talisman to find me."
The disciple nodded.
Lin Zhaofeng stood up and thought to himself, "Sect Master Senior Brother must have the same plan as me, but he has too many misgivings and doesn't dare to make a move. Let me go first. I hope this trip goes smoothly and I can find the opportunity to leave this world."
