Martial Supreme Esoterica - C28
Yan Ling and Yan Qiuyu went back to the “Demonic Beast Forest” to find Yan Fengwu and Yan Lengyue. They had been killed by Qing Ya, the great general who had sat down in the “Demonic Beast Forest”, and had received the guidance of the “Corrupted Beast”. They then followed the clues towards the west of the Demonic Beast Forest.
After his figure disappeared, Demon Beast let out a sigh, and suddenly said, “Smelly TaoYin, I want to get rid of my bad habit of lying, but he wants me to walk further and further on this road, and more and more tricks for walking. When I go back, he will beg me for food. After saying that, he hopped into the depths of the forest.
Of course, Yanling didn’t hear what the “blacksmith beast” said after that, because at that time, Yanling was rushing towards the west.
After about half a day of travel, the sun was already high in the west. While walking, Yanling inquired about the situation along the way to see if Yan Fengwu and Yan Lengyue had left any markings along the way.
“Since the ‘blacklist beast’ didn’t specifically say that two people are still alive, then it means that the two are safe and sound. However, he didn’t know why he chose to head west. If he wanted to reach the Heavenly Talisman Sect, he would have to head due south. “Could it be …” Yan Ling had a bad premonition, “Could it be that something happened to the ‘Sacrificial Heart’ sword?”
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but speed up his pace.
It was already evening. Far away in the distance, there was a red cloud, but what surrounded Yanling was a white fog, and although it was not really a strange thing to see, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, until one could no longer see the red sun in front of them. The entire body of the Yanling was wrapped in a layer of white fog that did not seem to be seen from the other side.
Yan Ling suddenly stopped. Knowing that the fog was coming in a strange way, he quickly turned around and ran back.
After running for five kilometers, they were no longer able to see anyone around them.
Try moving forward.
After running another 20 miles, they were about to return to the “Demonic Beast Forest”. Yan Ling was suspicious, so he secretly held his sword technique.
Stopping, Yan Ling thought for a while and felt that although the road ahead was vast, the danger was unknown. If they went back, then not only would they lose the news about Yan Fengwu and Yan Lanyue, they would also easily get lost in the fog.
With this thought, Yan Ling turned around and faced the west. Calming his mind, he formed a sword art and rushed forward step by step.
The further west they went, the thicker the fog became. If they didn’t bring their hands close to their eyes, they wouldn’t even be able to see their own fingers clearly.
Yan Ling became serious. The sword aura around him was ready to strike at any moment.
At this moment, a mysterious voice came out from the fog, “You are that Yan Ling?”
Yan Ling’s body trembled, “That’s right, you are?”
“My name is TaoYin.”
Yan Ling frowned. “Dao Yin?”
“Never heard of it?”
Yan Ling smiled. “I have never heard of it.”
Daoist Daoyin laughed. “That’s right. I’m not someone from the mortal world. I’m an Immortal cultivator of the Dao Lord Sect.”
Yan Ling said with a smile, “Oh?” Isn’t the Dao Lord Sect one of the five great sects, on par with the Heavenly Symbol Sect? ”
“Exactly.”
Yan Ling continued, “I heard that the Dao Lord Sect, the Dragon Valley Sect, and the Soul Duo Sect suffered great losses in their battle against the Demon Nether Sect and have all retreated. Only the Heavenly Talisman Sect is still powerful enough to defeat the Demon Nether Sect and then quickly grow stronger.”
“Oh?” Is this what the Heavenly Symbol Sect told you? ” Adept Daoyin said curiously.
“No, this is how the legends of the Heavenly Talisman Sect are told.” Yanling returned to the road.
“Haha,” Doyen laughed softly. “How could there be wind in this cavern? If it weren’t for my expression, how would it have become a rumor in the outside world?”
“Isn’t this rumor true?”
“Haha, that’s not why I came to find you.” Adept Daoyin said.
Yan Ling smiled, “Then what is your purpose for coming to find me?”
Adept Daoyin said, “Let me prevent you from committing the biggest mistake of your life!”
Yan Ling frowned even more. “The biggest mistake in this life? Senior, you mean …?”
Adept Daoyin said, “Naturally, it is for you to escort the three demon swords.”
“Oh,” Yan Ling asked, “In Senior’s opinion, is there something wrong with this matter?”
Dao Yin laughed and said, “It’s not just a mistake, it’s a huge mistake! Do you know what your lost teammates are going through now? You can see for yourself. ”
As he spoke, Yanling heard a ‘whoosh’ sound. The fog in front of him suddenly dispersed, but what appeared was not in front of him. Instead, it was in an unknown place. A man and a woman were currently nestling against each other, sharing roasted fish. Yan Ling shouted, “Ah, Feng Wu, Leng Yue!”
Adept Daoyin let out a sigh. “Sigh. A sinner, a sinner!”
Yan Ling frowned, “Love?” “What do you mean?”
Daoist Master Daoyin said, “The woman you saw … although she was still the cold moon, the soul within the bag is no longer the cold moon that you described.”
“Ah, what’s going on?” Yan Ling was stunned hearing this.
Daoist Master Daoyin answered, “Yan Lanyue has already been possessed by the Sword Spirit.”
“Possession?”
Daoist Master Daoyin further explained, “Which is to say, the demon spirit sealed within the Sacrificial Sword has broken free from the seal and taken over Yan Lengyue’s physical body!”
“Was it because of the fire that broke out of the seal?”
“Exactly.”
“That little brother Feng Wu!” Yanling couldn’t help but worry for Yan Fengwu.
“This boy is quite smart. I guess after the heated energy in my head has passed, I’ll be able to discover the difference between a Sword Spirit and a Yan Lanyue.”
“But if that happens, wouldn’t Little Brother Feng Wu and Little Brother Feng Wu be directly facing off against the Sword Spirit!?” “Not good, little brother Feng Wu is in an extremely critical situation. I’ll immediately provide assistance!” As Yan Ling said this, he wanted to ask where the two of them were.
Before he could ask anything, Daoist Master Yin said, “Don’t worry, although the story between Yan Fengwu and the Sword Spirits, Yan Lengyue, will evolve into something very complicated, it’s not the thing you need to worry about the most.”
“Oh? “What do you mean?”
“Look here again!” As he spoke, with a “Pu” sound, he landed on the ground like water. The scene in front of him disappeared, and the thick fog converged once again. Following that, there was the sound of water splashing again as another scene appeared before him.
He saw that Yan Qiuyu was surrounded by a group of black shadows. After that, Yan Ba ran over with a murderous look. He unleashed an earth-shattering sword attack, which was aimed straight at Yan Qiuyu.
Yan Zhaoge’s aura suddenly stopped. Luckily, the moment when the huge sword was about to land, Yan Ba seemed to have woken up.
“This … Qiu Yu, Baodi!”
“It’s a good thing that Yan Ba woke up in time, but he still hasn’t gotten rid of the extremely violent possession of the ‘Beast Mark Sword Spirit’. If he meets Yan Qiuyu or someone else next time, it will be hard to save his luck today!”
“How could this be?”
“Hmph, because the seal was tainted, two of the four great devils have already appeared. If Yan Qiuyu went any deeper, I’m afraid that even the ‘Soul Sacrifice’ Sword Spirit would break out from the seal.”
“Ah!” Yan Ling was shocked, “We were the ones who failed to protect you!”
Daoist Daoyin let out a sigh. “This is just one aspect of it. More importantly, you’ve fallen into the trap of others from the very beginning!”
“Oh?” Yan Ling was shocked. “Someone else’s scheme?”
“That’s right.”
“Who?”
“Ha,” Doyin chuckled. “With your intelligence, you really can’t think of who it is?”
The corner of Yan Ling’s mouth curled up. “If what you say is true, then we will only have the Heavenly Symbol Sect in our calculations!”
“Haha,” Doyen laughed. “You are indeed the number one person in the younger generation of the Yan family. You are indeed smarter than others!”
Yan Ling continued, “However, what I don’t understand is why the Heavenly Talisman Sect is so big, and why they have answered the ideas of my peaceful Yan family.”
Daoist Master Daoyin sighed, “He’s not trying to harm your Yan family. He’s trying to harm the ancient demon gods.”
“Ancient demon god, you mean, a four sword sword sword sword spirit?”
Adept Daoyin laughed bitterly. “What else could it be?” If the four sword spirits are subdued by the Heavenly Talisman refining method of the Heavenly Talisman Sect and are used by the Heavenly Talisman Sect, then the Heavenly Talisman Sect will not only receive the rewards from the Heavenly Cloud Realm, but will also gain great fortune in the path of cultivation. Furthermore, it will become famous in the world and strengthen its reputation in the world. ”
Yan Ling said, “But this time, it’s the five Yan family elders who are contacting the Heavenly Talisman Sect!”
“Haha,” Doyen laughed, “Won’t the five Yan family elders be included in this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it, why do you think the three demon swords that the five great sects are so bitterly looking for will all be hidden in your Yan family?”
Yan Ling continued, “I heard that these three swords had all dispersed into the martial arts world before the Demon Nether Sect was defeated by the Heavenly Talisman Sect.”
“Humph!” “The Demon Nether Sect must do whatever they can. If they have these three swords in their hands, they would definitely think of ways and means to maximize the power of these three swords. How could they still be defeated by the Heavenly Talisman Sect?”
Yan Ling was stunned by the question. “This …”
Dao Yin said, “Before the Demon Nether Sect was defeated, these three swords had already fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Talisman Sect. After defeating the Demon Nether Sect, in order to draw out the Demon Spirit and achieve the same goal we mentioned before, they sent their Sword of Sacrifice into the martial world, waiting for the lucky ones to get it. Later, the Sword of Sacrifice was found out by your Yan family’s founder, who would have thought that the five elders of the Yan family came to your Yan family to design a formation to control the sword.”
Yan Ling said, “Isn’t this way of thinking too inconceivable?” The Heavenly Symbol Sect has a demon sword that belongs to them. Since they want to borrow the Four Devils’ power to come out and increase their prestige, why not just release that demon sword? ”
Daoist Master Daoyin laughed, “You’ve really made a fool of yourself for a while!” If that were to happen, people would inevitably become suspicious of the Heavenly Symbol Sect. If one were to say that the treasure sword was stolen by the Demon Nether Sect, then one would be questioned about their abilities. These two are things that the Heavenly Symbol Sect does not wish to see.
“So that’s how it is, but …”
“I know that you don’t believe me with just these alone, but think carefully, why didn’t the Heavenly Symbol Sect send people to your Yan family to get the three demon swords when the formation failed?” Logically speaking, they understood these demon swords. Furthermore, cultivators knew the art of bedeviling demons and were also sects with great prestige in the martial arts world. Who could be more suited to protect the demon sword than them? “Why do you want these young ones who went to the Yan family to take the risk and escort us?”
“I heard that he was afraid that people would suspect him on the way.”
Adept Daoyin let out a cold laugh. “On the road?” Humph, look at the path you have taken, and the path you are about to take. ‘Demonic Beast Forest’, ‘Miasma Sea Ancient Forest’, and ‘Realm of the Void’ are all dangerous places with poor conditions, and they are extremely disadvantageous to the protection of the seal. For a road like this, it would be difficult to set up an ambush. For two, it would be detrimental to the seal placed on the Demon Sword.
Yan Ling carefully thought about it and suddenly felt that what he said was reasonable. He couldn’t help but be aghast!
Dao Yin continued, “Think about it again. If the Spirit Sealing Sword Box given to you by the Heavenly Talisman Sect really works, then why would the sword spirits of the ‘Beast Mark’ and ‘Heart of Sacrifice’ be able to escape so easily?”
Yan Ling was shocked, “That means?”
Daoist Master Daoyin sneered. “Although Dao arts and talismans are most afraid of blood, the ability to protect a treasured sword is enormous. Doesn’t his’ Heavenly Talisman Sect ‘have such considerations?”
Yan Ling drew in a breath of cold air. “According to what senior said, this Heavenly Talisman Sect is very suspicious!”
After Daoist Master Daoyin heard Yan Ling refer to him as “you” and knew that he was a “senior”, he had already believed his words and was very happy in his heart. “So, your mission now is no longer to escort the treasured sword to the Heavenly Talisman Sect!”
Yan Ling smiled, “I’m here to escort the sword to the Dao Lord sect!”
Daoist Master Daoyin was stunned and then burst into laughter. “Hahaha, Yanling, you still don’t trust me!”
Yan Ling continued, “I’ve said a lot. If your final goal is for us to send the demon sword to the Dao Lord sect, then your goal will be made clear!”
“Hahaha,” Adept Daoyin said. “Since I’ve already made my move, wouldn’t it be easy for me to seize your swords?”
Yan Ling felt his heart tremble, and he thought to himself, “That’s right, since this person can use the fog to trap me, his cultivation base must be far above ours.”
However, Daoist Yin continued, “What we need to do is to get rid of these three Sword Spirits and cause the Heavenly Talisman Sect’s scheme to fail!”
“Oh?” “If that’s the case, then you should hurry up and chase after the sword spirit. Why did you stop me here?”
After a brief moment of silence, Daoist Master Yin let out a long sigh, “Right now, the forces of the Heavenly Symbol Sect can rely on just one sect to fight against the other three. We wish to save the world from disaster, but we are too weak and unable to face them head on, so we can only rely on you youngsters!”
“So you’re saying, the reason you’re trapping me here is so I can help you take in the three Sword Spirits?” Yan Ling said.
Adept Daoyin said, “Correct!”
“Haha …” “Senior, you think too highly of me. The three great demon spirits are the four immortals sent down by the ‘Heaven Cloud Sector’. Your five sect’s founder took them down, so how could I, a mere junior from the Yan family, have the ability to take them down?”
Dao Yin said: “At that time, in the chaotic times of the Four Devils, the Four Devils were nourished by the negative emotions of the world and were incomparably powerful. But now, the people of the world have forgotten that the Four Devils have been sealed in the four treasured swords for a long time, and although the four Devils have used the treasured swords to collect a lot of energy, they are unable to be absorbed immediately, and can only remain in the treasured sword for a short period of time. “Furthermore, with the appearance of the Three Devils and the help of the bodies of the Yan family, there must be a bond between you and Yanling. With your great talent and superior cultivation, you are the perfect candidate to take this mission!”
“Then, what does Senior want me to do?” Yan Ling asked.
Daoist Master Daoyin said, “Come back to the Dao Lord Sect with me and I will personally teach you mana. When the disaster of Yan Lanyue, Yan Ba, and Yan Qiuyu expires, I will let you leave the mountain, kill the demon spirits, and save their lives!”
Yan Ling faintly smiled, “Just based on senior’s words alone, you are able to make me ignore my dangerous brothers and return with you to the Dao Lord Sect to train. This is truly hard to accept!”
Daoist Master Daoyin laughed. “Aside from that, what other methods do you have to deal with your two siblings who have been possessed by the demonic spirits?”
