Daoist Competition

Huo Xuan watched for a while longer and suddenly thought of something, his heart sinking sharply. He immediately soared into the air but hadn’t yet reached the peak. He glanced from afar, his eyes brightening, and secretly thought: "It turns out the two Junior Brothers are together with Junior Brother Zhang, and the Yuan Yang Sect Yang couple is also here. This is good; it’s not too late!".

Zhang Yan suddenly sensed something, turned to look, and saw a golden-red tunneling light flying in the sky, landing on the peak momentarily, and he laughed: "It’s Brother Huo!".

Everyone also looked over and saw that it was indeed Huo Xuan who had arrived. Unbidden, they were all delighted, and they rose on clouds to greet him.

Huo Xuan hurriedly returned their greetings individually. After exchanging a few words of their separation, he said, "Everyone, it seems that you all saw the phenomenon earlier. Judging from the external appearance of the spiritual mechanism, Feng Haiyang of the Nether Spring Sect has entered the Third Realm. I believe this person has most likely used the help of the Junyang Essence to achieve this breakthrough. Thus, the Junyang Pot is very likely in this person’s hands. We should take advantage of his unstable cultivation state right after the breakthrough to plan to exterminate this major threat."

His voice grew increasingly filled with murderous intent as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qing and the other sensed something as well, their expressions slightly stern.

Zhong Muqing pondered for a while and agreed, "Brother Huo’s words are not empty. If the Junyang Pot is indeed in this person’s hands, we must attack swiftly, lest delay brings disadvantages."

Zhang Yan nodded secretly. Huo Xuan was worthy of being the leading disciple among the top ten disciples, observing the crux of the matter with just a glance.

Zhu Xin felt a bit puzzled and privately asked, "Husband, even if Feng Haiyang has the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Third Realm, there’s no reason to fear him with so many Xuanmen masters present. Why is True Master Huo so urgent? Wouldn’t waiting for the fellow Daoists of Yuxiao and Shaoqing Sects to join in before killing this person make for a more assured outcome?"

Yang Bi sighed, a hint of worry between his brows, and shook his head, "It’s not that simple. Daoist Huo’s concern is very valid. It seems this is indeed quite troublesome."

Huo Xuan turned to Zhang Yan, his expression very solemn, "Junior Brother Zhang, what are your thoughts on this?"

With only the three of them confronting Feng Haiyang, he had no absolute certainty, but with Zhang Yan’s assistance, their chances would greatly increase.

However, Zhang Yan now held another identity besides being among the Mingcang Sect’s top ten disciples; he was also a Supreme Elder of the Yao Yin Sect, which he couldn’t compel.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, "Brother Huo’s words make perfect sense. If the Junyang Pot is indeed in this person’s hands, what makes anyone here think they can remain untouched?"

Upon hearing these words, Huo Xuan realized that Zhang Yan, like him, had seen the key point in the matter, and he slowly nodded.

Yang Bi, initially hesitant, resolved after some consideration and quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands, "My wife and I are also willing to join fellow Daoists in vanquishing demons and upholding the way."

Huo Xuan nodded gladly, "Good, if Daoist Yang and his wife are willing to assist, it’s the best outcome."

He looked around and said, "Everyone, delay brings change, follow me quickly to collectively eliminate this demon!"

After speaking, he took the lead in raising a golden light and proceeded. The others didn’t hesitate, also launching their escape skills to follow.

Zhang Yan pondered briefly. He initially intended to use the Moon Washing Mirror to probe for a while, but fearing it would alert the enemy, he abandoned the idea.

From his sleeve, he took out a Flying Book, using his finger as a pen, he executed the Mysterious Skill to write a few words before sending it out. Then, he activated a sword light, quickly catching up with the group.

The group did not fly urgently, as they couldn’t predict whether Feng Haiyang would turn around to trouble them, hence they remained cautious.

Although the Mingcang Sect held the Da Wei Cloud Palace, if released, they wouldn’t fear strong enemy attacks. But every advantage has its drawback; maintaining it consumes a significant amount of mana, rendering them incapable of attacking the enemy and moving slowly. To those skilled in flying, it’s like a tortoise crawling, so unless the situation is critical, no one wished to use it.

The six of them traveled for half an hour, arriving at the place where the spiritual mechanism had stirred earlier. Knowing they might face the formidable enemy Feng Haiyang, they remained united, meticulously searching all around. However, after scouring every flying peak and rubble, they discovered no trace of anyone, suggesting this person had long gone far away.

Huo Xuan sighed inwardly; this was his greatest concern. If Feng Haiyang desired to confront them head-on, it would be beneficial, but alas, things didn’t go as wished. They missed the chance, making it increasingly difficult to kill this person.
