Daoist Competition-Chapter 1107 - 293: Six Talismans Descend from Heaven!

After receiving the flying message, Elder Shen dared not delay. He immediately set off and soon arrived in front of Yao Yin Peak. Seeing a forbidden array blocking the way, he made a salute and said, "True Master Zhang, Old Daoist Shen Yin Feng has come to pay a visit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prohibition below was lifted, and a clear voice was heard saying, "Elder Shen, please come down for a chat."

Elder Shen landed on the peak and steadied himself, seeing Zhang Yan standing on the Dharma Platform to welcome him. They hurried to exchange greetings, engaged in some small talk, and then Elder Shen said, "True Master Zhang, just now a flying book from Qingdan Peak came saying they were summoning the Old Daoist to discuss matters. I dare not make a decision on my own and have come to seek the True Master’s advice on how to proceed."

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I have already seen it, Elder Shen. You need not worry, just act according to your heart."

Elder Shen said deeply, "Then the Old Daoist will not go."

Zhang Yan looked at him and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, have you thought it through clearly?"

This Old Daoist had previously laid a trap for the Ten Sects of Xuanmen. Although he could not produce a token talisman if he went this time, with his methods, as long as he submitted a little, he wouldn’t be forced too much in the future. After all, it wouldn’t come to the point of destroying the Guangyuan Sect over this matter.

Elder Shen chuckled, straightened his body, and said, "My Guangyuan Sect has endured under the Nanhua Sect for centuries, already suppressing our anger long enough. Since this time there’s a swordfight, I am willing to follow True Master Zhang to Extreme Heaven."

This statement openly declared his willingness to stand on the side of Yao Yin.

Zhang Yan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

The battle in Extreme Heaven was extremely dangerous, a true life-and-death battle. Previously, he had an agreement with Elder Shen that if anything happened to this Old Daoist, no one would handle the matter for him.

Seeing his expression, Elder Shen cupped his hands and said solemnly, "True Master Zhang need not worry. The Old Daoist has come with the ’Golden Luo Earth Axis Talisman’ bestowed by the Sect Leader. This was created by the ancestor master of our Guangyuan Sect, with Ancestor Shen Chong’s involvement. I believe that even in danger, I can escape unscathed. On the contrary, I can lend fellow Daoist a helping hand."

Zhang Yan was rather surprised, not expecting this elder to be so bold. He nodded and laughed loudly, "Very well, if fellow Daoist wishes to go, I will not stop you. Each will find their own fate and opportunity at that time."

On the Dharma Platform of the Yuxiao Sect, the three Nascent Soul True Masters who came for the swordfight sat on cushions. Zhou Huang sat in the center, with Zhou Qingyun and Xie Ke Ming on either side, both meditating with closed eyes.

At this moment, a flying book arrived. Zhou Huang sensed it, immediately beckoned to take it, opened the seal, and took a glance. The letter only invited him to discuss matters, with no mention of the Yao Yin Sect. His mind turned, and he snorted, "Since this is the case, why bother inviting me?"

With a flip of his hand, a clear light shone, and the flying book disappeared.

Zhou Qingyun’s eyes, as clear as autumn water, turned and asked, "Senior Brother, is it that Elder Ying does not wish to speak clearly?"

Zhou Huang sneered, "Ignore him. When has our Yuxiao Sect ever needed others’ consent to do things? Sending a letter was merely a courtesy, notifying him out of respect for being part of the Xuanmen lineage."

Zhou Qingyun nodded gently.

Zhou Huang said in a deep voice, "Qingyun, if a token talisman descends on our peak later, I will guard this place. You go and retrieve the token talisman from Yao Yin."

Zhou Qingyun stood up, knelt, and said, "Little Sister accepts the order."

Zhou Huang turned to Xie Ke Ming and said, "In the Demon Sect, only two token talismans remain, one from Netherworld Sect and one from Hun Cheng Sect. Previously, True Master Huo sent a message saying he wished to meet with Feng Haiyang. We do not need to compete with the Mingcang Sect. That Hun Cheng Sect’s Lu Muqiu does not have high Daoist cultivation and is unworthy of me taking action. The token talisman will be yours to retrieve, and if there is a chance, you can also take the opportunity to eliminate him."

Xie Ke Ming immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "The Little Brother will not fail in the task entrusted by Senior Brother, but..."

He hesitated.

Zhou Huang frowned, "Speak your mind."

Xie Ke Ming cupped his hands and said, "That Hun Cheng Sect’s talisman, no other sect would dare contend with our Yuxiao, except for the Yuan Yang Sect, which we must consider. If Daoists Yang Bi and Zhu Xin, who have lost their sect’s talisman, also covet this one, how should the Little Brother act? I ask Senior Brother for guidance."

Two hundred years ago, the Yuan Yang Sect had another True Master achieve the status of Grotto Heaven. Recently, it has produced many outstanding disciples, seeming poised to become one of the four great sects of East Splendor.

While Yang Bi and Zhu Xin are outstanding figures in their generation, they are not the highest in Daoist cultivation. It is because the two of them are a Daoist couple and fight together exceptionally well, they were sent to the swordfight. This also shows that the Yuan Yang Sect has its sights set on Extreme Heaven, making it unlikely they would give up this token talisman.

Zhou Huang’s gaze turned cold, "You need not worry about the Yuan Yang Sect. Just do what you must."

With Zhou Huang’s permission, Xie Ke Ming felt much more at ease. As for potentially facing Yang Bi, he wasn’t afraid.

However, thinking about this, he couldn’t help but look at Zhou Qingyun with some concern and said softly, "That Zhang Yan has profound mana, adept Daoist skills, and is skilled in Flying Sword killing techniques. Senior Sister must be careful."

Zhou Qingyun replied softly, "Thank you, Junior Brother, for the reminder. I will be cautious."

Xie Ke Ming was immediately reassured. His senior sister had cultivated for over three hundred years and, as long as she wasn’t careless, she wouldn’t suffer a loss.

An hour later, after Elder Ying Ya finished discussing matters with all sects’ disciples and sent them away, he emerged and reached the Dharma Platform.

He first called a Child to change the incense candles. Standing solemnly in the mountain wind, he bowed deeply to the talismanic script.

After a short moment, suddenly a deafening rumble came from the Gang Cloud, like heavenly drums beating, shaking mountains, and resounding through the heavens and earth.

His expression changed, as he could tell from the sound that this time was different from the past. Looking up, he saw the Gang Cloud and Void Qi, like following a command, spreading and unfolding gently.

Instantly, a golden light covered the ground, brushed the wind, embraced the clouds, warmed the grass and trees, enveloped thousands of rivers and mountains in a moment. Amongst the auspicious cloud and golden glow, six streams of light descended!
