Chapter 307 Well-deserved reputation
Chishui Peak, Xuanzhen Palace.
The statue of Taiwei Xuanzhen Tianzun is high above, wearing a scarlet and purple Taoist robe, with his hands making the infinite Dharma seal, and he has a majestic demeanor.
The leader of Xuanzhen Sect, Zhang Changzhen, sat cross-legged under the statue with his eyes slightly closed, his back straight, and a relaxed look.
Zhang Changzhen has white hair and a youthful face, with long eyebrows hanging down to his cheeks. He wears a gorgeous purple Taoist robe, and looks like an immortal.
Xuanzhen Hall is the center of the sect's magic array and also the center of power. Sitting here, Zhang Changzhen can control everything in the sect.
Sitting in meditation and refining Qi in Xuanzhen Hall every day has been Zhang Changzhen's habit for hundreds of years.
"metropolitan."
The master of Fuzhen Hall, Zhang Lan, bowed his head and saluted at the entrance of the hall with an extremely respectful attitude.
Zhang Lan had followed Zhang Changzhen for nearly two hundred years. He knew his teacher's character very well. He was stubborn, self-willed, and domineering, and he hated people being impolite the most.
The more respectful you are in front of your teacher, the better.
"Come in, what?"
Zhang Changzhen asked casually without opening his eyes.
He knew Zhang Lan's personality very well and would never dare to disturb his meditation unless necessary.
"News came back from Yuelun City. A few days ago, Bai Hengyang and Yue Qingwei went out at the same time to stop the flying ship, but they didn't find anyone." Zhang Lan said in a low voice, bending over.
"Um?"
Zhang Changzhen was a little surprised. He opened his eyes and said after a moment of hesitation, "This kid might have sensed the resonance of the Demon-Subduing Golden Whip and ran away halfway."
He said to himself, "I heard that he was born as a low-level casual cultivator. It's no surprise that he has come this far and is so smart."
Zhang Lan asked with some concern: "Master, will Gao Xian come to take revenge on the sect?"
He added: "After all, it is the true teaching of Shenxiao."
"With his small foundation?"
Zhang Changzhen sneered, "If he dares to come, that would be even better. We can capture him and take back the Demon-Subduing Golden Whip."
The last time he sent people to Qingyun Sect to ask for the Golden Whip to Subdue Demons, Yun Changfeng dismissed them with a nonchalant attitude.
The Demon-Subduing Golden Whip is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in Xuanzhen Sect, and is related to the inheritance of the sect. Qingyun Sect just swallowed it up so shamelessly, and still treated him with such contempt!
Zhang Changzhen was furious. If Yun Zaitian had been respected, he would have been a little bit more respectful. Yun Changfeng was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but he dared to be so arrogant! From then on, Zhang Changzhen held a grudge and always wanted to find an opportunity for revenge.
This time he heard the news that Yuelun City was going to auction a seventh-grade five-colored lotus, which was exactly the spiritual object Gao Xian needed to form his elixir.
The flying ship from Chishui City to Yuelun City runs once every ten days. In the past few months, every time a flying ship takes off, he would activate the golden demon-subduing whip in his hand.
This pair of male and female demon-subduing golden whips doubled their power when put together. When the two demon-subduing golden whips were separated, they could resonate thousands of miles away.
However, in order to stimulate resonance through the storage bag, it must have accurate directionality. Therefore, Zhang Changzhen could only choose to activate the Demon-Subduing Golden Whip on the flying ship.
After waiting for several months, Zhang Changzhen finally met Gao Xian.
He heard that Gao Xian had a magical escape technique and could fly as fast as lightning, so he was not sure he could stop Gao Xian.
More importantly, he didn't dare to stop the Wanbaolou flying ship.
If he angered some high-ranking officials of Qingyun Sect, he could still bear it, but if he angered Wanbao Tower, the consequences would be hard to predict.
After careful consideration, Zhang Changzhen decided to notify his friends in Yuelun Sect and tell them that Gao Xian had gone to Yuelun City.
The relationship between Yuelun Sect and Qingyun Sect is so bad that Gao Xian will never have an easy time.
Regardless of whether Gao Xian lives or dies, he can redeem the Demon-Subduing Golden Whip through his friends in the Yuelun Sect.
The result made him a little disappointed. Bai Hengyang and Yue Qingwei from Yuelun Sect were so famous, but Gao Xian actually slipped away.
Zhang Lan reminded carefully: "Gao Xian is a true disciple of Shenxiao after all. I am worried that Qingyun Sect will use this as an excuse to attack."
Zhang Changzhen couldn't help but laugh, "What can Yun Changfeng do? Does he dare to come?!"
Even if Yun Changfeng really dares to come, the magic circle that the sect has built for thousands of years is not fake.
In fact, the Qingyun Sect has no control over the Xuanzhen Sect, and they have no direct affiliation.
Moreover, the Qingyun Sect is not controlled by the Yun family alone, and Yun Changfeng is not the kind of person who would act recklessly.
Zhang Changzhen waved his hand and said, "You should all be careful recently and try not to go out. No one dares to act recklessly within the sect."
Before he finished speaking, a clear voice came into the hall: "The great sage of Qingyun Sect came to visit Sect Master Zhang. I wonder if Sect Master Zhang is here?"
The voice was vague and seemed to come from the sky above.
Zhang Changzhen raised his eyebrows, "Gao Xian really dares to come!"
He stood up and walked out of the hall, looking up he saw a green figure in the distant sky.
This man has handsome features, wears a green robe and carries a sword. He stands between the clouds and sky, riding the wind with his robes fluttering, like a god.
It was the first time that Zhang Changzhen saw Gao Xian in person. He had heard that he was a handsome man, so seeing Gao Xian in person still surprised him.
There are many handsome cultivators, this is nothing. It's just that Gao Xian has an extraordinary clarity, which really means that his body is as clear as glass inside and out.
“This guy must have practiced some secret body-refining technique to have such a beautiful body!
"It is said that this man is a master of romance, specializing in seducing female cultivators. It seems that the rumors are true. Otherwise, how could a man be so handsome!"
Zhang Changzhen hated Gao Xian more and more. Zhang Zhengxin died because he lost to this greasy-haired and powdered Gao Xian.
"Gao Xian, you're here just in time."
Zhang Changzhen waved the whisk in his hand and flew into the sky. He was not used to looking up when talking to people.
Above the clouds, Zhang Changzhen said loudly to Gao Xian: "Gao Xian, you are here just in time. Hand over the Golden Whip to me!"
Zhang Changzhen was quite surprised by Gao Xian's arrival. This guy really dared to come! If you dare to come, don't leave.
There are magic arrays protecting the Chishui Peak for hundreds of miles. This height is also within the range of the magic array.
Not to mention a great sage, even a Jindan Zhenren would not be able to fight against the magic circle.
Gao Xian smiled slightly and said, "We'll talk about the Demon-Subduing Golden Whip later. Sect Master Zhang, it was you who leaked my whereabouts to the Moon Wheel Sect, right?"
Zhang Changzhen flatly denied it: "That's not true. Don't bother to talk nonsense."
Colluding with the Moon Wheel Sect was his Xuan Zhen Sect's own business, but betraying the Qingyun Sect's Shenxiao True Teachings was not his own business.
It's okay to do this kind of thing secretly, there's no way he would admit it.
Anyway, Gao Xian didn't have any evidence, and this kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly no matter how much he talked about it.
Gao Xian was also a little surprised. The old man was quite cautious and never let anything go wrong in his own territory.
He taunted, "Master Zhang, you are the master of a Jindan Zhenren sect, but you dare not take the responsibility. It's a bit too embarrassing."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Although Zhang Changzhen was narrow-minded, he was very experienced and naturally would not tell the truth just because Gao Xian mocked him.
"If you don't hand over the Demon-Subduing Golden Whip today, you can't leave."
Gao Xian sneered: "I am the true disciple of Shenxiao, who dares to touch me. Sect Master Zhang, think it through."
Zhang Changzhen frowned slightly, as he found Gao Xian's arrogance a little hard to understand.
If Gao Xian was born in a noble family, it would be normal for him to be so stupid. But Gao Xian was different. He was born in the lower class. If he was so stupid, he would have died long ago.
What's more, the fact that Gao Xian was able to avoid Yuelun Sect's pursuit showed that he was a very smart man.
It was not difficult for Zhang Changzhen to figure it out, as it was not Gao Xian's turn to play tricks in the territory of Xuanzhen Sect.
Let's capture Gao Xian first. If this kid doesn't know what's good for him, we can't kill him, but it's okay to give him a taste of pain.
Zhang Changzhen waved his whisk and said coldly, "Don't blame me if you don't obey."
As he spoke, he formed a seal with his left hand and waved the whisk in his right hand, and the mountain protection formation, the Taiwei Xuanyuan Formation, began to operate with a loud bang.
Pillars of light rose into the sky from peaks such as Chishui Peak, with eight pillars of light occupying eight directions.
Between the light pillars, there is a faint light network composed of countless runes.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Zhang Changzhen was mainly afraid that Gao Xian would run away, so he activated the Xuanyuan Formation in advance to lock down all directions.
To deal with a small foundation building, he doesn't even need to rely on the power of the magic circle.
Gao Xian looked at the eight-direction light pillars with great interest. This magic formation was grand and tight, blocking all directions, which was quite extraordinary.
As the huge magic circle appeared, he clearly felt that there were layers of invisible barriers in the space. Being in it, he felt that the circulation of his magic power was somewhat sluggish.
Gao Xian didn't know much about magic arrays, he could only see that this magic array combined the power of the earth veins to guide the orderly transformation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It would be easier to understand if we regard the magic circle as a super-large magic weapon.
Magical weapons still need magical power to activate, but magic arrays can borrow the power of heaven and earth.
This shows how big the gap is between the two. This is also the most powerful part of the magic circle.
Gao Xian flicked his sleeves to activate the Tai Chi Mysterious Light Invisible Heavenly Robe. His attainments in this secret technique were not very high, mainly because he did not have the added touch of human spiritual light.
I don't know if the Taiji Xuanguang Invisible Heavenly Clothes can penetrate this magic circle? However, there is no problem in forcibly breaking the formation with the big vajra! The Qinglian Sword can also break the magic circle.
Gao Xian was quite confident about this. Such a large magic array was mainly used to adjust the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to activate magic, and at the same time form a space barrier, etc.
This space barrier should be the weakest variation of the magic circle.
After all, the coverage area of this magic formation is too large, and no matter how powerful the Xuanzhen Sect is, it has its limits.
Gao Xian said to Zhang Changzhen very seriously: "Master Zhang, it's not too late for you to stop now."
"What kind of magic and sword skills are these? I want to see them for myself."
Zhang Changzhen waved his whisk, and purple lightning flashed out from nowhere, instantly condensing into a lightsaber several feet long that slashed directly at Gao Xian.
The two sides were about two hundred steps apart, and the Purple Thunder Sword that Zhang Changzhen activated was extremely fast.
Even more powerful magic arrays were running along with it, and invisible magic barriers were stacked up layer by layer, blocking all directions. Gao Xian's whole body tensed up as he endured the enormous invisible magic pressure.
In this state, the speed of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Wheel will be greatly affected. Including the operation of magic power, it will inevitably be greatly affected. This is also the reason why Gao Xian is unwilling to enter the magic circle.
Any large city will have such a magic circle, the difference lies in the power.
Gao Xian did not struggle forcefully, but instead fought with the old man to test the other party's ability.
He flicked his fingers, and a little bit of red light shot out like a bullet, hitting the lightsaber transformed by the lightning.
The raging flames suddenly burst out, and the purple sword light also fell apart in the impact, exploding into shining lightning.
The power of the Fiery Sun Bomb was far inferior to the opponent's thunder method, but it was better in that it could be fired instantly. Under Gao Xian's control, it could bombard accurately and in layers, which easily defeated the opponent's thunder method.
Zhang Changzhen raised his eyebrows slightly. The opponent's magic was really superb. He actually broke his sect's unique skills with the flaming bullet.
He was no longer polite and waved the whisk in his hand. In an instant, purple lightning flashed out. Thousands of thunders condensed into giant swords of lightning, which slashed towards Gao Xian with earth-shaking thunder sounds.
In an instant, thousands of lightning swords came down like a raging tide. The thunderous roar of the swords scattered the clouds and shook the mountains. Its mighty power seemed to shatter people's souls.
"So amazing, worthy of being in the late Jindan stage!"
In the past, when Gao Xian fought with Jindan Zhenren, he always used his strengths to attack his weaknesses, not giving the opponent a chance to perform, and relying on various means to quickly kill the opponent.
This time when they set up their formations for the duel, he, a foundation-building cultivator, was one level short.
After all, the Vajra is a method of physical training. It has a huge advantage in close combat, but it is not so good in fighting.
The powerful magic power, exquisite spells, strong spiritual awareness, and the coordination of the magic array made Zhang Changzhen's attack have an earth-shaking power.
Gao Xian thought about it but decided not to dodge. He activated the flaming bomb which turned into a giant red palm and slammed it hard on the surging wave of thundering swords.
Thousands of blazing flames exploded, and the lightning swords in front shattered, but the lightning sword light continued to surge like a tide.
The changes in the extremely positive and extremely negative thunder techniques condensed by the purple thunder are far more powerful than the scorching sun bomb.
The surging purple lightning quickly broke through the flames and hit Gao Xian directly.
Gao Xian flicked his long sleeves, and a black and white Tai Chi diagram appeared before him.
This is the automatic change of Tai Chi Xuan Guang in the Tai Chi Xuan Guang Invisible Heavenly Clothes, the rotation of Yin and Yang, both offensive and defensive, which is very exquisite.
The rotating black and white Tai Chi was like a whirlpool, constantly swallowing up giant lightning swords. However, the Purple Sky Thunder Sword was too powerful, and the rotating black and white Tai Chi diagram shattered after swallowing only a small part of the lightning sword light.
Amid the roar of thunder, thousands of purple lightning sword lights slashed towards Gao Xian. This method had both the power of thunder to cleanse the heaven and earth and the sharpness of swords. It was the most superior secret technique of Xuan Zhen Sect.
Gao Xian's eyes, which were as bright as stars, were now occupied by purple lightning blades.
Zhang Changzhen looked at Gao Xian being submerged by thousands of thunder blades. He was a little worried. "It will be troublesome if this kid can't hold on!"
But at this point, there was no way he could stop. It was impossible for him to control such a fierce thunder technique so precisely.
At this moment, the sound of a clear sword chant reached Zhang Changzhen's ears, causing the golden elixir deep in his brow to shake violently along with the sound of the sword.
It seemed as if an invisible divine sword cut through the sky and earth, and cut through his consciousness.
The sharp and powerful purple thunder sword lights broke neatly at the same time.
After a pause, the broken giant sword of lightning shattered into purple light rain that scattered all over the sky.
Gao Xian stood in the rain of light, holding his sword. The three-inch long sword in his hand revealed a bright green light.
Zhang Changzhen's eyes were filled with astonishment. What a powerful sword technique! What a sharp sword! The mastery of both swordsmanship and magic, this was no exaggeration...
Gao Xian said to Zhang Changzhen calmly: "Old Zhang, I'm going to take action. Remember, this is all your own fault!"
Zhang Changzhen was furious. Even though this kid was good at swordsmanship, he had no right to challenge him inside the magic circle.
"How dare you? You don't know whether to live or die! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Gao Xian laughed instead: "You're still not convinced, old man, I'll let you know how powerful I am!"
