"As for why you came to both sides, it's simpler, because your only way to survive is to escape to Taicang Lake. And Xie Zhenkun's true energy is earth element, and he can't do underwater kung fu. And you are water element true energy, and you are like a fish in water. If you jump into the water in a crisis, you can cover up your breath, so your chances of survival are not small!"
Yuancang paused and continued. In fact, he could have taken action earlier, but in order to prevent Xie Zhenkun from escaping into the city and endangering the people, he waited until he reached the riverside before taking action.
Ling Feng suddenly realized that he had unknowingly become a chess piece of the Canglang Sword Sect. However, precisely because of this, he felt that he should not be in too much trouble this time. After all, he had helped Yuancang settle a grudge, so the other party should have some kind words to say at the critical moment.
The Canglang River is extremely wide, with sparkling waves and fast currents. The rowing skills of Xuanyin Laodao, an old otaku, are really bad, and the boating speed is limited.
Yuancang couldn't stand it any longer, so he glared at him and said, "You kid, stop paddling and stand aside!"
Old Taoist Xuanyin also felt relaxed and sat down.
Yuancang waved his sleeves, and the invisible energy pushed the river water, and the hull of the ship suddenly shot into the distance like a sharp arrow.
Ling Feng was very interested in this exquisite water-bending skill and carefully observed the mystery.
With the impetus of Yuancang's true energy, the boat moved forward quickly, and in less than an hour, it entered a vast lake with vast mist.
However, before the boat had gone far, a ship came quickly.
Ling Feng took a glance and saw that there were people on the boat holding torches, and there were about five or six people with swords around their waists. The Qi in their bodies were also of the water element, and they had the same origin as his Canglang Qi. They should be from the Canglang Sword Sect. Outer disciples on night watch.
After a while, the two ships approached.
The young man in white standing on the bow of the boat said, "Who are you? It's night, and Taicang Lake is closed to the public!"
The entire Taicang Lake is the territory of the Canglang Sword Sect. Except for fishermen, they can fish during the day. In order to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks and causing trouble, no one is allowed to enter at night.
Ling Feng and Master Xuanyin ignored him and didn't bother to explain.
At this time, Yuancang threw a token from the canopy of the boat.
The young man in white took the token. The token was white and forged with the essence of Geng gold. One side was engraved with the word Canglang, the other side was engraved with the word Elder, and there were two small characters Yuan Cang below. Although he is only an outer disciple, he has an extraordinary background, so he naturally knows that Elder Yuancang is one of the top figures of the Canglang Sword Sect. Therefore, he quickly handed the token to the old Taoist Xuanyin on the bow of the ship, cupped his fists and saluted: "Tao Yucheng meets Elder Yuancang!"
Other outer disciples also saluted and said: ""See Elder Yuancang!
A majestic voice came from the canopy of the boat: "No need to be polite, you did a good job, the boat was stopped just after it entered the country!"
Tao Yucheng looked at Ling Feng and Xuanyin Master, and said with a respectful expression: "Thank you for the compliment, elder. However, it is very inconvenient to drive this boat. It is better to let the disciple's boat take you back to the mountain gate!"
"No need, just watch the night carefully!"
After Yuan Cang finished speaking, he secretly pushed it with his true energy, and the boat suddenly moved forward quickly, heading towards Cangshan Mountain in the center of the lake.
…
The boat was intercepted by several night watch boats and finally arrived at Cangshan.
Although Cangshan is just an island in the middle of the lake, the mountain is not too high, but the area is very large. It covers more than ten square kilometers and is composed of 108 peaks. It is lush and green, and the water spirit is very rich. It should be a large-scale The Spirit Gathering Formation gathers the water spirit energy of Taicang Lake. Therefore, the intensity of the spirit energy is more than ten times that of the island in the center of Bibo Lake. It can be called a blessed place in the spiritual mountain.
It was late at night, and most of the disciples were either resting or meditating, so it was very quiet. Only inner disciples are stationed at various road checkpoints to conduct inspections and prevent outsiders from getting in.
Because Yuancang's elder's token was there, the three of them went straight to the top of a hill, and a courtyard appeared in front of them.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard was a young man in white clothes with a sword. When he saw Yuan Cang, he suddenly became excited. He cupped his fists and saluted, "Disciple Sun Nanting, see you, master!"
Yuan Cang looked at him and said with a pleased expression: "Xiao Shiyi, that's right. We haven't seen you for ten years. Your cultivation has improved a lot!"
Ling Feng also stared at Sun Nanting for a moment. The Canglang True Qi in this person's body was very pure, and the richness was even higher than his own, and he was close to the realm of orifice refining.
Sun Nanting said with a smile: "It's all the master's wife and senior brothers who taught me well!"
"The two of them will stay here tonight. You are responsible for entertaining them. I have important matters to do as a teacher, so I will leave first."
After Yuancang finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
At this time, Sun Nanting smiled and said: "You two, come with me!"
Ling Feng and Xuanyin Lao Tao looked at each other and had no choice but to follow in.
This courtyard is similar to a courtyard. The two of them followed him into the courtyard and came to the left wing, where they were assigned two rooms.
Sun Nanting warned: "Master's wife likes to be quiet, so she moved to Xiaojing Peak near the lake. If you two have something to do at night, please don't make a loud noise or rush around. Just come to the door to find me."
Ling Feng nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you!"
Immediately, Sun Nanting left.
Ling Feng entered his room. In the middle was the mahogany Eight Immortals table, with teapots and cups placed on it. The tabletop was very clean without any dust. Someone should have cleaned it regularly every day. Inside is the mattress. Ling Feng took a sip of cold tea, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate. The water spirit here is so rich that it is a treasure place for practicing the Canglang True Secret. As for whether it will be a waste of effort, that will be considered later.
…
After a while, the main hall of the mountain gate was brightly lit.
In front of the main hall, ten inner disciples lined up on guard.
In the main hall, a middle-aged man wearing a white Taoist robe and a silver-white crown, with a face as warm as jade but a majestic expression, sat on the throne of the head nine steps above. He was the head master Taicang Zhenren.
Under the steps, there are three seats on each side, and six people are sitting there. In addition to Yuan Cang, there are also five elders dressed in similar attire.
Master Taicang said: "This time Junior Brother Yuancang kills Xie Zhenkun, the leader of Netherworld Palace, Netherworld Palace will definitely not give up and will definitely take action. How do you guys think we should respond?"
A Taoist nun wearing a plain white Taoist robe, with a face like an autumn moon but as cold as ice, said: "Why do we need to discuss this matter? There is no coexistence between good and evil, so it is natural to kill demons! If the evil spirits from the underworld dare to invade the realm, they will be killed directly. That’s it!”
A middle-aged man with a short stature and a slight obesity said: "Junior sister Canghai is wrong. The Netherworld Palace governs all the demonic sects. Under it are the Seven Evils, Huaxue, Hehuan, Corpse Refining, Poison King, Bliss, Tianxiang and the other seven demon sects are huge in strength. If they meet head-on, they will surely suffer heavy losses! As the leader, the junior brother believes that we should take two strategies, internally and externally. Internally, we must recall the younger disciples to avoid being attacked and plotted by masters of the demonic way. At the same time, we use spies to secretly monitor the Netherworld Palace. Wait for the movements of the Demon Sect and be ready to respond at any time. Externally, send a message to the other six sects to monitor the movements of the Demon Sect and work together to respond."
