After the flying boat fell, it made a muffled sound and broke into several pieces on the ground.
Zhong Lie looked over. The flying scarlet sand quickly enveloped the flying boat, but there seemed to be no trace of anyone inside.
He did not find this strange. Zhang Yu had undoubtedly left the flying boat first. Although he could not find out where he was hiding, as long as he was still within the range of the scarlet sand, he would be able to find him.
With the gradual addition of his heartforce, the crimson sand began to surge, turning the area within a radius of several dozen li into a red ocean. Furthermore, one could vaguely see massive beast-like creatures moving about in all directions.
After Taoist Zhu saw the flying boat fall, a ray of golden light shot out from his eyes. It was a foot long and constantly scanned the scarlet sea of sand. However, he could not immediately see where Zhang Yu had gone, but he was also not afraid that the latter would escape.
On the snow-clothed woman's side, there was frost and mist everywhere. One could see a goose that looked like it was sculpted from snow jade flying past from time to time. When the scarlet sea of sand reached this place, it automatically avoided the area covered by her visualization diagram.
At the moment, the three of them just happened to be standing in a triangle. Each of them could take care of each other. As long as they kept shrinking the circle, it would not be difficult to force the other person out.
Supported by the scarlet sand, Zhong Lie slowly flew forward until he arrived in front of the flying boat's wreckage. His gaze focused and he saw a figure there. It was a young Taoist in a jade robe. His body was glowing with jade light, surrounded by clouds and mist. When the scarlet sand attacked, it was blocked outside by a brilliant flickering light.
Zhong Lie unconsciously sized up this person. He felt that this person was indeed as dignified and divine as the rumors said. He straightened his expression and raised his hands to salute. "Zhang Xuanzheng, greetings."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and nodded. "Sect Master Zhong?"
Zhong Lie's attitude was very humble. "That's me." He did not mind saying a few more words here. The longer he delayed here, the more prepared Taoist Zhu would be.
Moreover, he was still a little lacking in confidence to directly confront this person.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Sect Master Zhong, are you stopping me here because you're afraid that I'll go back and request Great Mountain Sect to submit to Xuanfu?"
Zhong Lie admitted frankly, "Zhang Xuanzheng's guess is correct. I am worried about this matter. Xuanzheng, please don't blame me. The Great Mountain Sect was established by me, Zhong Lie. How can I give up my 50 years of hard work just like that?"
At this moment, in the crimson sea of sand, two auras gradually approached. Daoist Zhu and the snow-robed woman, one on the left and one on the right, respectively, appeared behind Zhang Yu.
Zhong Lie calmed down when he saw this, and he said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, I can understand Zhang Xuanzheng's actions, but we can't let go of everything so easily."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "Your approach is not wise."
Zhong Lie nodded and said, "Perhaps." Perhaps because he thought that victory was already in his grasp, he removed some of his previous pretense and said in a mocking tone, "Actually, even if we were willing to let go, that person wouldn't let Xuanzheng go."
Daoist Zhu said coldly, "You've said too much."
He looked at Zhang Yu and narrowed his eyes.
Originally, he wanted to attack immediately, but now he felt that something was wrong.
As a true cultivator, he was very sensitive to danger. However, he had felt a sense of danger since just now, but he did not know where it came from. This made him very uneasy.
The more this was so, the more he did not dare to act rashly.
Zhong Lie could not help but look at Daoist Zhu. He was surprised that the latter did not move, and guessed that he was waiting for him to make the first move.
He laughed coldly in his heart.
He would definitely not take the initiative to attack.
Although they were working together to fight the enemy, he knew very well that Daoist Zhu did not care about his life, especially since he had the Heaven Thunder Pearl. He believed that if he saw the right opportunity, Daoist Zhu would not hesitate to attack even if he knew that he would be involved.
The snow-robed woman stood there silently. She was best at defense. In the plan they had discussed before, she only needed to be responsible for preventing Zhang Yu from escaping, so she would not take the initiative to attack.
Zhang Yu looked at Daoist Zhu and said, "Judging from your Qi, you should be a true cultivator. I think you must be from the Mysterious Spirit Realm. As long as a true cultivator does not enter Xuanxiu's territory, Xuanfu will not deliberately control true cultivators. I wonder why you've come here?"
Daoist Zhu's eyes sharpened. Since he came here today, he could not let Zhang Xuanzheng go. Otherwise, it would bring endless trouble. Thinking of this, he wiped away the scruples in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Xuanzheng, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for doing too many things and hindering too many people."
His fingers moved slightly, and the Heaven Thunder Pearl in his sleeve slipped into his palm. However, just as he was about to attack, he seemed to feel something strange. He suddenly turned his head and looked behind Zhang Yu.
Zhong Lie and the snow-robed woman also felt it at this moment. They looked in that direction together, and then their expressions changed.
In the blurry red sea of sand, balls of light flickered and reflected. Then, one figure after another walked out of the wind and sand.
Fuyu Sect's Sect Master Cao Fangding, Hai Yue Sect's Sect Master Tian Jiang, Shaoming Sect's Sect Master Tang Yu, Wonder Spirit Sect's Sect Master Wen Liang …
Other than the dead Master Jinchi, Shang Yuan Sect's Sect Master Yu Jian, and Fang Tai Sect's Sect Master He Wei, almost all of the Sect Masters of the other sects appeared here!
Including Zhang Yu, there were a total of ten Xuanxiu who had read the fourth chapter of the book standing here!
The three of them immediately understood that there was a mistake in the information that was sent back. This time, Zhang Yu did not return alone. Instead, he was accompanied by many Sect Masters of the other sects.
With a loud bang, a scarlet streak of light rose from the ground. Zhong Lie actually did not hesitate to use it to escape.
Just like him, Daoist Zhu made a prompt decision and flew away in a streak of light.
Ten Xuanxiu who were on the same level as them. Even if the three of them had powerful magic tools, they could not fight against them. Once they fought, they would not even have the chance to make a move.
Zhang Yu glanced at the sky and stood there with his sleeves behind his back. He said indifferently, "Take them down." As soon as he said this, all kinds of lights rose behind him and chased after the two escape lights!
As Xuan Zheng of the Xuanfu, he had no choice but to personally fight because the Xuanfu's forces were scattered. Now that he had integrated the other sects, he naturally did not need to personally fight against these people.
This time, after catching the traitor Yu Jian, he expected that the return journey would not be peaceful. In fact, he would rather this person jump out first. Because in the continent, due to various rules and restrictions, these people would not be easy to deal with.
He looked to the side and saw that the snow-robed woman was still standing there. He said, "Sect Master Mei, why don't you leave?"
The snow-robed woman lowered her head and was silent for a moment. There was a trace of bitterness on her face. She said, "We can't escape."
At this moment, a rumbling explosion came from afar. The sound was so loud that it was not inferior to the explosion of a Mysterious Weapon. It was Daoist Zhu who took out the Thunder Heaven Bead and tried to escape.
However, this was of no use at all. No matter how good an artifact was, it still needed to find the right opportunity to be effective. However, most of these Sect Masters had fought their way out of the Outer Realms. They were incomparably experienced in battle, so how could they be so easily tricked?
Not long after, Cao Fangding was the first to return. With a flick of his sleeve, he threw Zhong Lie, who had lost the ability to resist, to the ground. He said, "Xuan Zheng, that True Cultivator has committed suicide. His spirit has been destroyed, and there is no corpse left."
Zhang Yu nodded and said indifferently, "Take Sect Master Mei with you. We will go to Mount Hong and Radiant Light Sects first."
Fengxiang Ridge was located in the north of Hanzhou. It was less than a hundred miles away from the scenic Jade Wall and Dragon Spring. The mountain was full of jade bamboos and green trees. When the wind blew, the trees swayed and the birds chirped. It was an extremely quiet place.
In the depths of the mountain, there was a simple temple. A black-robed Daoist who looked to be in his twenties was holding a handful of ancient Daoist scriptures. He walked back and forth under the warm sunlight and seemed to be chanting something. His voice was ancient and mellow. From time to time, it would attract some phoenixes to land on the surrounding long branches.
At this moment, a golden light flew over from afar like a sharp arrow. When it arrived in front of him, it suddenly stopped. It was a golden sparrow the size of a fist. There was a long and thin branch in its beak.
"Looks like there is a result."
The black-robed Daoist looked and took the bundle of branches. He stroked the golden bird a few times and let it go. Then, he took out a roll of paper from the bundle of branches. He opened it, but his expression changed slightly when he looked at it.
With a thought, he hurriedly walked into the temple. When he reached the inner hall, he looked at a table. There were originally three talismans standing there, but one of them had already become dim and lusterless, completely different from the other two that were shining brightly.
He was shocked and said, "How could this be?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, he returned to the outside of the temple and took out a jade talisman from his sleeve. He raised his hand and waved it. Wisps of smoke came out of it. He took two steps forward and put it in a stone niche in front of the temple. Then, he took a few steps back.
When a dense mist appeared inside, it gradually condensed into the figure of a Daoist. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Teacher, Zhu Li failed. His Life Talisman has been destroyed."
A warm voice came from the faintly discernible figure. "Do you know the reason?"
The black-clothed Taoist said respectfully, "The news that came was vague, and the specific reason is still unclear. However, Hong Shan, Zhong Lie, and Mi Guangmei Yizhi did not seem to have returned. It seems that either that person is too strong, or they fell into some trap."
The faintly discernible figure said slowly, "Then you wait and see."
The black-robed Daoist said respectfully, "Yes, teacher." He raised his head again. "Teacher, are we just going to … do nothing?"
The faintly discernible figure said calmly, "Don't be anxious. If Hong Shan and Mi Guangmei sects merge with Xuanfu, there will naturally be people who can't hold back first."
