Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

"Back when our sect and the Hehuan Sect invaded the State of Qi and fought the decisive battle, Fellow Daoist Chen was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. But for some reason, he attracted the pursuit of Liu Fan, the direct disciple of Junior Brother Xiao Lingzi, and Qi Yuanshan, an elder of the Ziyang Sect in the late Jindan stage. Is that right or not?" There was a hint of grimness in Yan Zhang's calm voice.

Chen Yuan was even more surprised: "Fellow Daoist Yan also knows about this? Yes, I do have some misunderstandings with Liu Fan."

Yan Zhang said, "I heard that when Fellow Daoist Chen returned to the sect several years ago, he cut off an arm of Fellow Daoist Du Kun of Zi Yang Sect and took away Zi Yang Sect's share of a large spiritual mine. But today, he has successively helped fellow Daoists Du Kun, Du Qing, and Xiao Lingzi. He is truly a man of high character."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, but Chen Yuan didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, you are too kind. Some misunderstandings have already been resolved. In front of the monster, we must work together."

"I have already reconciled my past grudges with Liu Fan. Fellow Daoist Xiao Lingzi knows all about this. When Fellow Daoist Yan returns to the sect, he will know the answer by asking him."

Yan Zhang was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I see. Thank you, Brother Chen, for your help. I will remember this favor on behalf of Junior Brother Xiao Lingzi, and I will repay you in the future."

Chen Yuan said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Yan, you are too kind. I am just trying to help you."

Yan Zhang nodded, said no more, stepped aside, and closed his eyes to rest.

Everyone withdrew their gazes, but many people still kept their eyes secretly moving between Chen Yuan and Yan Zhang.

Only today did they find out that there was such a grudge between the Blood Spirit Sect and Chen Yuan.

Now it seems that the deaths of Xiao Lingzi, Du Kun and Du Qing are not that simple.

But Yan Zhang did not fall out with Chen Yuan, so no one else would cause trouble for him.

I heard that Zi Yang Sect had a close relationship with Bai Zhen, the elder of Jiangxian Mountain. But Bai Zhen had already died at the hands of the Demon Lord, and his Nascent Soul was swallowed up. It was impossible for him to seek justice for Zi Yang Sect.

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan inconspicuously, as if covered by a thick fog.

This man suddenly appeared in the world and was able to rival the Demon Lord. When fighting with others, his black hair turned snow-white and strange black wings appeared behind him, making him look very much like a transformed demon king, but there was not a trace of demonic aura on his body and his origins were also very clean.

The art of teleportation, the dark light, the sudden appearance of the vortex, the Zhuyan True Fire...

All these mysteries make people extremely curious, but no one dares to ask.

In everyone's mind, Chen Yuan is almost equated with a great monk, and no one would pry into the secrets of a great monk.

……

Everyone waited for another half an hour, and Elder Zhou and Bai Yanji finally set up the formation, condensing a ball of clear and spiritual energy that was a little thinner than before, and sent it into the giant pillar of demonic energy.

The giant pillar of demonic energy dissipated, and this small secret space began to collapse. Everyone left the wasteland in time and avoided being involved.

Once the source of demonic energy is destroyed, the Demon Realm will become water without a source and will collapse on its own in a short time.

The group returned to the Blood Spirit Sect's mountain gate without any obstruction.

Yan Zhang had already held a grudge against Chen Yuan, so he did not stay in the Blood Spirit Sect for long. After agreeing with the four major Xuan Sects on the time to come and take away the treasure, he said goodbye and left.

After receiving the treasures promised by the nine major sects, the other Nascent Soul cultivators also left in a hurry. Only the demonic cultivators stayed behind to continue clearing out the monsters.

The cultivators from the four great Xuan Sects also left together. The threat from the Demon Realm had been resolved. Not only were the monsters no longer a threat, but they were also treasures that one less would be killed. The magic cores formed by pure demonic energy were even more precious to the demon cultivators.

Anyway, the righteous cultivators didn't need the magic cores, and the four great sects had suffered heavy losses in the Demon Realm, so they generously gave the opportunity to wipe out the monsters to the demon cultivators. The righteous and demonic sides had put aside their past grudges in order to eliminate the calamity of the Demon Realm. Now that there was no catastrophic disaster, the fragile alliance immediately fell apart.

Young Master Tang Jiu, Sect Master Shen and Chen Yuan were traveling together, but before the three of them left the Blood Spirit Sect's mountain gate, Elder Zhang from the Tianxuan Sect came to their door.

He also came to the Blood Spirit Sect's mountain gate, but did not enter the Demon Realm, but stayed outside.

Chen Yuan was a little surprised and welcomed him into the cave.

After Elder Zhang sat down, he looked at Young Master Tang Jiu and Sect Leader Shen, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing this, the two knew that Elder Zhang had something to say to Chen Yuan, so they immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Yuan escorted the two out of the cave, and after returning, he got straight to the point: "I wonder what can I do for you, Brother Zhang?"

Elder Zhang clasped his fists and bowed, his expression even somewhat respectful, without the airs of a major elder at all: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I was entrusted by someone to come and ask for mercy from you."

Chen Yuan was even more confused: "Which fellow Taoist is Fellow Daoist Zhang going to plead for?"

"Fellow Daoist Bai from Guiyuan Sect."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed: "Fellow Daoist, are you still friends with Bai Yanji?"

Elder Zhang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know Fellow Daoist Bai, but was entrusted by Junior Brother Zhou."

"In the Demon Realm, Fellow Daoist Bai once saved Junior Brother Zhou. He came to Junior Brother Zhou for help, and Junior Brother Zhou came to me. Junior Brother Zhou and I are close friends, so I had no choice but to come here with the audacity."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "As far as I know, Bai Yanji's strength is mediocre, and Brother Zhou has a treasure to protect him, how could he be saved by Bai Yanji?"

Elder Zhang explained in detail that when the monks from various sects entered the Demon Realm for the first time, they were suddenly attacked by monsters. Elder Zhou was inexperienced and not good at fighting. He was caught off guard and had no time to use his protective talisman, and he almost died at the hands of the monster.

Bai Yanji happened to be nearby and took action in time to save Elder Zhou's life. Elder Zhou was very grateful to him.

At last, Elder Zhang said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Bai has learned about the situation of Qi's immortal cultivation world from other fellow Daoists. Fellow Daoist Chen has turned the tide this time and shocked Donghua. He will definitely not give up after returning to Qi."

"Fellow Daoist Bai also knows that Guiyuan Sect is a vassal of Ziyang Sect and has had many conflicts with Lingyun Sect in the past. However, as a small sect, it is also helpless."

"He was worried, so he asked Junior Brother Zhou to come forward and ask me to plead for him. I hope you can show some leniency and spare him, and keep the Guiyuan Sect's lineage."

"If you agree, Junior Brother Zhou is willing to owe you a favor. Guiyuan Sect is also willing to offer tribute to Lingyun Sect and follow Lingyun Sect's lead, just like the story of Ziyang Sect."

Chen Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I originally wanted to clear away the filth and restore a bright and clear sky to Qi's cultivation world."

"But since Fellow Daoist Zhang has come forward, I will naturally give him some face. As long as Guiyuan Sect obeys our sect, the inheritance can be preserved."

Elder Zhang heaved a long sigh of relief and bowed: "Thank you, fellow Daoist. Junior Brother Zhou owes you a favor. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to Shaoyue Mountains to find him. I will also help you to the best of my ability."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, stood up and sent Elder Zhang out of the cave, then went to find Master Shen and Young Master Tang Jiu, and left the Blood Spirit Sect's mountain gate together. (End of this chapter)
