Huo Xuan pondered silently. What Zhong Muqing said wasn’t entirely without reason. After all, no one really knew what was going on in Feng Haiyang’s mind.

However, now Zhang Yan came to engage in a sword duel under the name of the Yao Yin Sect, and the rules of the Mingcang Sect couldn’t bind him. If he was unwilling, he could not be forced. Regardless, it ultimately required his own agreement. Thinking this over, he turned and asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Yan entertained several thoughts. If Feng Haiyang had indeed targeted him, then no matter how he chose to act, the result would invariably be the same.

But if that man valued the Junyang Pot more, he would likely pursue the one seeking the pot.

After considering, he smiled slightly, raised his hand to wave his sleeve, and sent out the Moon Washing Mirror, saying, "I could lend the Treasure Mirror to Brother Huo for use, making it easier to find the Junyang Pot."

Huo Xuan supported the mirror with his hand and took it. Upon hearing these words, he understood the choice made, nodded, and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, concerning the victory or defeat of the sword duel, there’s little time for dispute, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you."

With that, he held the Mirror Light in his hand, shone it on a certain area, and after a long while, scouted the situation within several hundred miles.

Zhong Muqing stepped forward half a step and asked with concern, "Brother, how is it?"

Huo Xuan shook his head and said, "We still need to search elsewhere."

Luo Qingyu laughed, "The Treasure Pot moves on its own. If it were that easy to find, Feng Haiyang wouldn’t have to be entangled with us here." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Zhong Muqing pondered, "Feng Haiyang came from the west, so he must have thoroughly searched that place. Let’s go the other way, heading east."

Everyone agreed with this idea, and after careful discussion, they all invoked their escape skills, flying up into the Heavenly Cloud.

The five of them did not group together but rather Zhang Yan went one way with Xun Huaiying while the three of the Mingcang Sect went another way, separating from each other.

In the previous confrontation, they had already tested the waters. After all, Feng Haiyang had just entered the Third Realm, so although his Forbidden Locking Skill was not weak, it only covered an area of seven to eight miles. It wouldn’t improve over a short period. Thus, they agreed to keep a distance of ten miles between them, forming a defensive position to prevent being encircled.

Feng Haiyang concealed himself a few miles away, always paying attention to the movements of the Xuanmen disciples. Seeing them use the Treasure Mirror and fly eastward, he immediately became more vigilant.

That area was one the Devil had not explored yet, so the Junyang Pot might indeed be there. He couldn’t let the Xuanmen people go over, so he immediately invoked the Netherworld Escape Technique, turning his body into yellow smoke, and pursued them.

Before long, he circled around from the side to the front. Once there, he invoked a technique, creating a thirty-mile-long surging Tribulation Water, blocking their path. Simultaneously, a thousand Devils rushed in from both sides.

The Xuanmen disciples had always been waiting for Feng Haiyang to show himself. Seeing him appear, their spirits were lifted. Zhang Yan and Xun Huaiying did not hesitate to charge forward, while the three from the Mingcang Sect suddenly turned south and simultaneously invoked the Thunder Skill, with Zhong Muqing’s Shaoyue Qinglei being the most powerful, instantly blasting the Devils to pieces, scattering their formation.

Xun Huaiying halted in front of the Tribulation Water, coldly shouted, and launched a sword light, like a meteor from the sky, slicing through the void.

Though Feng Haiyang wasn’t afraid, standing firm to take the sword would delay his battle opportunities, even if he could reform from the Tribulation Water. Despite his reluctance, he had to dodge first.

In that brief moment, Zhang Yan made a gesture to unleash the sword ball, transforming it into thirty-six swords, flying in all directions, not aiming to kill him but rather to block his way.

Huo Xuan and others had been charging for a significant blow, thus, it had tremendous power and quickly swept away over a thousand Devils, leaving no obstacle in front of them. Without hesitation, the three of them took advantage of the tunneling light and flew away.

According to their prior plan, they needed to break free while Xun and Zhang temporarily engaged Feng Haiyang, before he had time to react.

Feng Haiyang was caught off guard, instinctively wanting to stop them, but Xun Huaiying’s intertwining sword light pinned him down tightly.

Earlier on, Huo Xuan and the others had not confronted Feng Haiyang directly and only followed the plan laid out by Yang Bi and his wife, which had many flaws. However, this time, having already engaged in magical combat with him once, they better understood his abilities, thus making meticulous arrangements. Successfully dragging him in place, in no time, the three of the Mingcang Sect had gone far.
