Daoist Competition-Chapter 961 - 220: Six Reversal Earth Coffin Formation (Part 2)

After the demon soldiers emerged, they immediately rolled on the ground, their mouths full of curses and anger, creating a noisy commotion. Thousands of seabirds on the beach tens of miles away were startled and flew away in an instant.

Lu Changsu saw this scene, mustered all his Mana, and shouted loudly, "You all, stay still for this general!"

The demon soldiers, hearing this loud shout, finally came to their senses. Upon seeing Lu Changsu, naturally recognizing this grand general of the mansion, they instantly quieted down. However, a few who were confused and never under Lu Changsu’s command continued to curse incessantly.

Zhang Yan sneered coldly, waved his robe sleeve, and a gust of foul wind ushered in thousands of Blood Line Golden Worms in the air.

These vile insects, having had their fill, now surged out in greater numbers, buzzing noisily in the air, incessantly fluttering, revealing their ferocious jaws upon seeing the demon soldiers scattered all over.

Zhang Yan fixed his gaze on the few unruly members of the Demon Race and ordered from within his mind. With permission granted, the Blood Line Golden Worms immediately rushed forward to feast greatly. In just a moment, they devoured over a hundred demon soldiers, then beat their wing membranes grandiosely, returning behind Zhang Yan, where they continued to emit strange howls.

The demon soldiers, witnessing this terrifying spectacle, all displayed expressions of fear and, like cicadas in winter, dared not make a sound.

Zhang Yan turned around and said to Lu Changsu, "I wish to arrange a Great Array using these soldiers. You need to keep them in strict order."

Lu Changsu patted his chest and said, "Master, just leave it to me. Within three days, I guarantee these ragtag remnants will be well disciplined."

Meanwhile, over the outer sea tens of thousands of miles away, Cui Mulong was riding the clouds, flying northward.

Before long, he saw a snake-shaped island with rocky ridges, its stones and soil all crimson red. Even the flowers and trees on the island were so bright red, as if adorned with a fiery makeup, reflecting the surrounding seawater in deep red. The spring water flowing from the stone cracks resembled coagulated blood.

This island is named Fire Viper Island, which was exactly where he intended to go on this trip.

Before long, Cui Mulong arrived at the island and, separated by a Prohibition, shouted, "Are the Wei siblings here? Cui Mulong is paying a visit."

A white light rose from the island, and atop Xuan Guang stood a young Taoist with fair skin and handsome features.

The person wore black boots and a white robe, with a Mystic Water silk sash at his waist. Seeing Cui Mulong, he showed a joyful expression and saluted, "Senior Brother Cui, why have you come? Weren’t you going to Qingyu Sect to gather information?"

Cui Mulong waved his hand irritably and said, "Don’t mention it. If I hadn’t been quick-witted, I might not have returned today. Is your sister here?"

The young Taoist replied with a cheeky smile, "My sister went out to visit friends and hasn’t returned for over ten days."

Cui Mulong cursed inwardly, "Off to see which lover again."

He touched his stomach and said sullenly, "After rushing for more than half a month, my stomach is empty. I wonder if there’s anything delicious at your mansion?"

The young Taoist mysteriously smiled and said, "Senior brother, you’re in for a treat. While my sister was away yesterday, I secretly caught a Dragon Carp."

Cui Mulong was taken aback and instinctively looked around before lowering his voice, "Junior brother, how could you be so bold? Where did you catch it from?"

The young Taoist waved grandly and said, "Senior brother, no need to worry. This Dragon Carp is not that Dragon Carp. It’s merely the offspring of that old carp and some spirit monster. That old carp has thousands upon thousands of descendants, all of which are aliens. Catching one or two to feast upon, it wouldn’t possibly know."

Only then did Cui Mulong relax. He laughed and scolded, "I was wondering when your skills improved. So that’s how it is. Quickly cook it, and let’s share it."

The two went inside, and the young Taoist ordered the servant to cook the Dragon Carp. Before long, the aroma wafted out, and the fish, measuring a yard long, was cut into segments and placed on a tray.

The two dined with wine, eating and chatting, and Cui Mulong, in high spirits, recounted the incidents of this journey.

When he mentioned how he fled upon seeing Zhang Yan, the young Taoist curiously asked, "Why did senior brother do that? Is this person very formidable?"

Cui Mulong sighed and said, "Junior brother, you don’t know. I’ve heard of Zhang Yan. Years ago, when Qingyu Sect was established at sea, there was a great battle. During this battle, Chongyue True Temple lost a True Artifact known as the Yin Slaughter Saber, rumored to have been obtained by him. It’s a killing weapon. If I didn’t leave, was I supposed to wait and be slain by it?"

The young Taoist gasped, "He actually has that saber?"

Cui Mulong shook his head and said, "Isn’t it true? Think about Lord Lu and his two elders, making three Nascent Soul True Masters, along with more than three hundred thousand demon soldiers. I later heard they were all killed by him. If not for that True Artifact, where would he get such skills?"

He fled all the way in haste, not daring to return. Only after hearing scattered news did he learn that the Lu Family at Bijiao Prefecture was defeated, and he was grateful for his quick wits, convinced that the Yin Slaughter Saber was in Zhang Yan’s hands. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After the two devoured the "Dragon Carp" like a storm sweeping through clouds, Cui Mulong sighed contentedly, "This fish is indeed delicious. Surviving on wind and dew, swallowing Elixir Pills every day, who can endure such hardships."

The young Taoist advised, "Senior Brother Cui, our Hengshan lineage is like scattered sand ever since the patriarch left. Like Brother He and others, they have long since joined Qingyu Sect. Those unwilling to stay here have gone to other continents. If you wish to restore the former glory, you’d only have hope if the patriarch returned. In my opinion, it’s better to join Qingyu Sect. It’s far better than being rootless."

Cui Mulong replied unhappily, "Junior brother, why say such discouraging words? At our peak, our Hengshan Sect had over ten thousand disciples. Though spread out now, those remaining above the East Sea still number a few thousand, many with profound Mana. If they unite, who would dare underestimate us?"

The young Taoist frowned, "But with the fall of Bijiao Prefecture, Qingyu Sect is bound to rise. The outer sea will enjoy peace for several years. If you don’t rely on them soon, you might lose the chance."

Cui Mulong twirled the wine cup in his hand, confidently saying, "Junior brother, you’ve miscalculated. I dare say, now that Zhang Yan has appeared, Chongyue True Temple will undoubtedly stir soon. You can just wait to see the spectacle."
