Daoist Competition-Chapter 978 - 229: Invisible Yin Blade
The Dragon Carp Demon also detected Zhang Yan’s intention to subdue him, and with a hiss of anger from its mouth, it shook its massive body. In an instant, it set off endless fierce waves and whirlpools, causing the sea within dozens of miles to be stirred by it.
The more people participate in the "Six Reversal Earth Coffin Formation," the more power it can exert. These over two hundred thousand demon soldiers combined with the formation’s spiritual mechanism can move mountains and shift peaks. Yet even so, they still couldn’t stop this Dragon Carp Demon from unleashing its might.
Especially when it drove wave after wave, the demon soldiers struggled to keep their footing, swaying and causing the formation’s positions to become disordered.
Zhang Yan couldn’t help but feel some admiration. This old demon, truly a natural prodigy, still has the strength to resist even after being wounded.
Seeing that a few more whirlpools would break the great array, he did not sit idly by. He took out the "Mountain and River One Qi Cloud Scroll" from his sleeve and tossed it onto the Dharma Platform.
As the scroll’s central position unfurled with a rustle, it immediately released the gathered Earth’s Veins’ Spiritual Energy, flowing like river branches in all directions, reaching every corner of the formation. In the blink of an eye, it suppressed the array, with countless mountain and cliff phantoms rising and overlapping continuously, emerging from within the formation.
Zhang Yan shook the Main Banner, causing over a hundred mountain phantoms to rise into the air, converging on the place where the Dragon Carp was.
The Dragon Carp Demon recognized the danger, continuously spitting out several balls of Gang Thunder with a booming sound, striking the rocks and mountains.
However, these phantoms were formed from the Array Power. As long as the Spiritual Energy was unbroken and the formation remained intact, there was no stopping them. Just about a moment later, the old demon, exhausted, let out a wail as it was struck down from the black jade stone rock by countless stones.
Zhang Yan, fearful of taking its life, did not activate the thunder and fire within the array. Instead, he shook the Main Banner again, and instantly countless rocks flew into the air, continually falling down, pinning it firmly.
He took a couple of steps forward, walking to the edge of the Dharma Platform, and shouted loudly, "Why, fellow Daoist, do you stubbornly resist? Though you battled with Shen Lintu and suffered severe injuries, you haven’t died. If his disciples were sent to capture you, how would you resist? It’s better to follow me back to the Splendor Mingcang Sect, guard the Cave Mansion for me. If I attain the Dao in the future, I won’t treat you unfairly."
The Dragon Carp wouldn’t listen. For thousands of years, it had roamed freely over the East Sea, commanding countless Water Clan. If it went with Zhang Yan, it would inevitably be enslaved. And so, despite being pinned by the great array, it refused to submit, still stubbornly holding its ground, trying to break out.
Zhang Yan was not impatient and laughed, "Truly, your wild nature hasn’t receded, not knowing what’s wise. Let’s see how long you can last."
Judging by the current situation, the old demon would be exhausted in at most half a day’s work.
Once it lost its ability to resist, it could be captured and brought back to the Mingcang Sect, where Zhang Yan had plenty of means to deal with it.
While he was subduing the demon here, at this time, above the sea, a group of people arrived. Depending on their attire, anyone from the East Sea could recognize them as disciples of the Chongyue True Temple.
The Daoist leading the group looked around thirty years old, with handsome features. On his head was an extraordinarily long ink jade Daoist hairpin, about a foot long. Above it was a mass of Gang Cloud, Spiritual Energy fluctuating. The hems and cuffs of his robe were embroidered with a mysterious pattern golden map, indicating his extraordinary status.
Aside from him, the remaining seven or eight people were all of Hua Dan Cultivation.
That Daoist glanced below several times, stroked his beard, and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, come and look. This should roughly be the place."
A scholar with soft, delicate features came forward from behind him. He drew in a Qi Mechanism, examined it in front of him, then turned around and cupped his hands, saying admiringly, "Senior Brother Xu’s judgment is indeed accurate."
Xu Daoist displayed a somewhat self-satisfied expression, "Even if the old carp survived at this moment, it should only have half of its life left. Brother Shen cannot act now, and the Shen Clan has no one who can subdue this demon. Our Xu Family, however, can take it on their behalf."
Junior Brother Jiang nodded in agreement repeatedly.
Within the Chongyue True Temple, the Shen and Xu clans were the two most powerful factions, with other disciples of different surnames attached to them. However, these two did not usually have harmonious relations.
The matter of Shen Lintu’s shattered Dharma Body might be concealed from the disciples below, but it could not be hidden from several elders of the Xu Family.
In the temple, apart from True Master Mi, Shen Lintu originally held the highest cultivation in the sect. Over the years, the Shen disciples had truly expanded under his influence, firmly holding down the Xu Family.
But this time, Shen Lintu was defeated and returned, losing several hundred Daoist Cultivation, and the Xu Family sensed an opportunity to raise their heads proudly.
