Bone Taoist

Chapter 683: Confrontation
"If I were the demon leader of those two tribes, I could just wait until Senior Tushan died and then try to take back the authority of the South Sea. This would be a foolproof move. Why would I have to take advantage of a birthday party when there are so many people and everyone is watching to kill me? Wouldn't that be a trap for me?"

Ye Zang concentrated slightly and asked in doubt.

Those two old guys have lived for so many years, they are not fools, how could they not know that this is probably a trap?
"I am now using myself as bait and giving away all my cultivation. They will definitely come, and they will choose my birthday." Tushan Younan stared coldly and said, "They can't wait that long. I have quite a few talented children. My eldest son, Tushan Linghua, is already half a step into the state of integration. Yuehan is even more talented and will definitely advance to the state of integration within ten years."

Tushan Linghua, the original prince of Nanhai.

When Ye Zang was still at the Linghai realm, he came to the South Sea to watch the ceremony and worship his ancestors. Tushan Linghua was already at the third level of the Golden Core realm and married the daughter of the master of the Nantian Pavilion. Ye Zang also attended their wedding.

Ever since Tushan Yuehan returned to her ancestral form as the great demon Nine-tailed Fox, her talent has been unrivaled in the South China Sea. However, Tushan Linghua has been accumulating talent for many years and is about to enter the state of integration.

Therefore, if the two Hedao demon masters from the Eagle Tribe and the Fish Infant Tribe want to take back power, they must do so within half a year.

"I am now approaching the end of my life, and those two old guys probably don't have much time left either. Either we fight to the death, or they will be wiped out."

Tushan Younan said with sharp eyes.

Because those two were the only ones who didn't come to the birthday party, Tushan Younan was even more certain that they were planning something.

"Does the Demon Lord know that there is a noble family in the Bishop's Land that is secretly in contact with these two groups of demons?" Ye Zang asked.

"If they don't come to celebrate your birthday, it's obvious that they are rebelling. How dare they do that if they don't have the support of a noble family behind them?" Tushan Younan said.

Hearing this, Ye Zang and Shu Aohan looked at each other.

Ye Zang was silent for a few breaths, then he focused and said to Younan, "Don't worry, Demon Lord. If they dare to attack, we will make sure those two demons never return."

"Okay!" Tushan Younan's eyes flickered, and she nodded in response. Then she offered a token and said in a deep voice: "This is the protective formation of my Qingqiu Cave. It is of the Tianxuan level. Ye Kuishou can repair it by himself."

Even the great formation that protected the sect was handed over. The Fox Clan had apparently placed all its bets on Ye Zang. They were now in the same boat.

Tushan Younan's plan is a foolproof one.

If those two groups of monsters attack, it would be like walking into a trap; if they don't come, it would be a slow death.

But they will definitely come, because this is their last chance. Even if Ye Zang is here, they will come regardless of everything. It seems that these two groups are backed by the elders of the families in the bishop's land.

At night, inside the cave in the courtyard, Ye Zang and Shu Aohan sat opposite each other at the desk.

"The Ban family of Dingyuan Mountain, the Lu family of Qiandao Pavilion, and the Gongsun lineage of Chongyang Dahu. Disciples of these three clans once came to cause trouble for me when I entered the Tao. However, with their current influence in the Divine Religion, I think they are not qualified to support the demon tribe in the South China Sea." Ye Zang said with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

"Are you suspecting... the Falling Star Sea?" Shu Aohan asked, frowning slightly.

"There is also Kamishiro Island." said Ye Zang.

"Shenzhao Island?" Shu Aohan said in surprise: "The Chu family and Langya Palace have little intersection. Aren't they asking for trouble by stirring up trouble in the South China Sea now?"

"The more turmoil there is in the cult, the happier the people of this lineage will be." Ye Zang narrowed his eyes.

The culprit behind the civil strife in the Divine Religion's territory in the previous life was Shenzhao Island, one of the five great inherited families.

On the contrary, there are many treacherous people. The Falling Star Sea, who has a deep grudge with Ye Zang, is the most loyal. He has always put the Divine Religion first. Even if other families have the intention of defecting, the Falling Star Sea and the Soul-Captivating King have been consolidating the structure of the bishop's land.

Zhuixinghai wanted to take power in the Divine Religion from the beginning to the end, but they did not want to see the Divine Religion destroyed.

"In short, we must be fully prepared. Both of those demon lords have reached the level of Hedao cultivation. Are you confident, Junior Brother?" Shu Aohan frowned slightly and asked worriedly.

"The Tushan Demon Lord will naturally stop them head-on, and I just need to destroy the formation and kill them." Ye Zang shook his head and said with a smile.

He and Shu Aohan are now half a step into the state of harmony with the Tao. Although their souls cannot leave their bodies and roam in the void, they have no problem roaming thousands of miles around, and their souls are also extremely focused and powerful.

Ye Zang's Dharma Eye nurtures the method of manifesting holiness day and night, and now his spiritual power is unmatched by some True Lords of the Hedao.

"One night is enough time for me to repair the formation."

"I'm here to help you."

As they spoke, the couple calmed their minds and concentrated, emitting powerful spiritual powers.

Gradually, everything around seemed to slow down.

In a moment, the two people's souls left their bodies and flew away, floating in the air.

"This formation is quite powerful. If you and I guard it here, even the Hedao cultivators will have to retreat."

Ye Zang's soul overlooks Qingqiu Cave.

There seemed to be crisscrossing invisible array patterns floating under the earth veins. There were a total of twenty-one array eyes, covering all directions.

Ye Zang immediately sat cross-legged in mid-air, invaded with his spiritual consciousness, and constructed an array pattern to guard it.

He also set up a terrifying formation here. After all, he was facing a cultivator of the Hedao realm. The stronger his consciousness and spirit were, the greater his chances of victory would naturally be.

……

The sun is rising and the morning light is breaking.

Early in the morning, Qingqiu Cave in the South China Sea gradually became lively. People from the fox tribe walked around and held banquets in pavilions and terraces everywhere.

Many guests came, including the monsters from the six tribes of the South China Sea, the Daqian Spiritual Land of the North China Sea, the Coral Palace of the West China Sea, and some sects of the Submissive Gods on the continent.

For example, Nantian Pavilion and so on.

The place seemed to be thriving, but secretly, there was news that the Tushan Demon Lord would pass away in the next few days.

There are even rumors that Tushan Demon mainly took advantage of this birthday celebration to determine the descendants who would hold power in the South China Sea in the future.

Many people also speculated that it was Tushan Yuehan.

This girl is the most beloved daughter of Tushan Demon Lord. She is extremely talented and it is said that her bloodline has returned to her ancestors and she has the appearance of the ancient nine-tailed demon.

Moreover, the heads of the fox tribe in all generations were women. After all, the Taoist magic they inherited was the art of charm.

Ye Zang and Shu Aohan strolled among the guests, chatting casually.

"Palace Master Ye, I offer you a toast!"

"Elder Ye is extremely talented. He has reached the position of Bishop Tiangang Elder at such a young age. This is truly enviable."

"Friend Ye, I have long been fascinated by this place." The current leader of Nantian Pavilion bowed.

As soon as Ye Zang appeared, he became the center of attention.

With his current status in the bishop's land, there were countless monks who wanted to curry his favor with him. Since he could not resist a smiling person, Ye Zang dealt with them one by one.

The days before the birthday were very normal, without any unexpected incidents. Ye Zang even thought that the two demon lords would not come.

However, what is meant to come will always come.

……

One morning a few days ago, a terrifying howling sound was heard outside the cave. A hurricane was buzzing and cutting through the sky, and the sky suddenly darkened.

Everyone's brows jumped, and they all walked out of the cave and looked at the sky.

I saw the sky covered with dark clouds, rumbling thunder resounded through the sky, and a terrifying figure seemed to be escaping in the clouds and mist.

It was a gigantic black eagle, with a wingspan of ten thousand feet when its wings were spread, and a suffocating and majestic demonic aura emanated from it.

Tushan Yuehan, Tushan Linghua and the Demon Lord's children walked out one after another, looking at the sky with stern expressions.

"Senior Yan, if you are here, why don't you show up!" Tushan Yuehan, dressed in a fluttering silk dress, shouted sternly.

boom!
In an instant, the huge black eagle flapped its wings and swooped down from the sky.

He stopped on a big mountain in the inland of Tuzhou and looked from afar. His eyes were like the gray-brown sun, making people feel cold all over.

Seeing this situation, a group of guests who came to attend the birthday party also started talking about it.

"That must be the demon leader of the South Sea Eagle Tribe. Sure enough, he has come after all."

"This old monster is very courageous. Ye Zang of the Divine Cult is here, and he still dares to attack the Tailed Fox lineage."

"How dare you do this without the support of a family of inheritance behind you?"

"There is a power struggle within the Divine Religion right now. This guy might have been instructed by a certain noble family to cause trouble for Ye Kui Shou."

Everyone whispered.

The reason why Elder Hedao of the Eagle Tribe came to invade was not just to seize power in the South China Sea. Everyone speculated that it was also to strike at the power of Ye Zang's lineage.

After all, the relationship between Nanhai and Ye Zang is obvious. Ye Zang and Shu Aohan are contenders for the future leader of the Divine Religion. If he dares to invade Nanhai, he must be instructed by his followers from other factions.

"Little kid, how dare you talk to me?" Yanshan shouted sternly. His voice was like thunder, echoing in all directions, making people's ears deaf and their hearts tremble.

"If Senior Yan is here to celebrate your birthday, Qingqiu Cave will naturally welcome you as a guest of honor. If you have other ideas, please go back and don't dig your own grave." Tushan Yuehan said in a confrontation without fear.

"Tsk... When I achieved enlightenment, you were still a fetus in your mother's belly. How dare you teach me a lesson?" Yanshan said with a slightly angry tone.

He spread his wings, and roared away with huge hurricanes.

Those terrifying hurricanes brought up huge waves, each of which reached a terrifying height of thousands of feet, like a hanging sea, seemingly about to swallow up the entire Qingqiu Cave.

Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.

I didn't expect this person to take action directly. This is the magical power of a Hedao cultivator, with magical powers that cover the sky.

Taoist masters usually fly and fight in the Nine Heavens. When Hedao practitioners use their primordial spirits to confront each other, they also do so in the Nine Heavens, which makes it impossible for outsiders to observe.

And if the Hedao monks fought on land, it would be a disaster, like turning the world upside down and it would be like the end of the world.

Ye Zang narrowed his eyes and stepped hard on the ground vein.

He stepped on the majestic blood-colored magic power and walked across the sky, and the terrifying Heaven-Destroying Dharma Body was sacrificed, as if the Great Sage Destroying Heaven had come back to the world. The blood-colored Dharma Body was lifelike, like a god overlooking the earth, with an aura that looked down on the world.

"The ultimate Yuanying, reaching the sky!" someone exclaimed.

Ye Zang folded his palms and formed a seal, which released the Heaven-Destroying Seal that covered the sky like the sky.

The terrifying blood-colored magic power spread out, tearing the waves apart. The sky was dyed blood-red. Ye Zang's Dharma body stood under the blood-colored sky, protecting the Qingqiu Cave behind him.

"Senior Yan, what do you mean?" Ye Zang asked with a smile on his face and bloodshot eyes. He exuded a murderous aura, which contained the white bone road of human cultivators and the aura of the ancient murderous monsters Kunpeng, Kuiniu and Zhulong.

For these demon tribes, the suppression force is very strong.

Yanshan glanced at Ye Zang with gloomy eyes and remained silent. He came to Nanhai, of course he knew that Ye Zang was here, but since he took action, there must be someone backing him up, and that force is not weaker than Langya Palace, so he has the confidence.

But even so, he did not want to have too deep a feud with Ye Zang. With Ye Zang's talent and reputation, even if he could not become the head sect master, he would surely be among the ten Dharma Kings and the masters of the three halls in the future.

"Elder Ye, could you please not interfere in the internal affairs of my South China Sea?" Yanshan gritted his teeth and said something nonsense.

"The South China Sea has been stable for so many years. If Senior Yan stirs up unrest at this moment, won't it cause trouble for our Divine Religion?" Ye Zang said sternly, "As an elder of Tiangang, I, Ye Zang, have the right to handle the affairs of the Four Seas. Now is the time when the great era is coming. The border of the God and Demon Rift Valley is in turmoil, the opportunities of the ten continents are up and down, and the demon tribes of the four seas are in turmoil. It is not beneficial to our Divine Religion. If you have the time and energy, Senior Yan might as well take your disciples to the secret collection to train. It would be better than this."

Ye Zang said a lot in one breath, all from the standpoint of the Divine Sect's Tiangang Elder.

This identity is very useful. The Tiangang elders have the right to interfere with the demon tribes in the outer sea, including those that have surrendered to the Divine Religion.

For a moment, Yanshan was unable to refute.

He gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy look, "The South China Sea has been the territory of our Eagle Tribe since ancient times. The ancestor of the Fox Tribe is the Sky Fox lineage of the Dongsheng Divine Continent. If we let them take charge of the South China Sea, they may have to give it up in the future. This old man is also for the sake of the Divine Religion. I hope Elder Ye will forgive me!"

After saying this, Yanshan didn't wait for Ye Zang to reply.

boom!
His terrifying figure fully revealed itself, and he directly sacrificed his soul.

It was one of the three main souls in the Hedao realm, the Heavenly Soul Dharmakaya. A terrifying black eagle left the body, covering the sky, with its wings extending tens of thousands of feet wide.

“Judging from the strength of its primordial spirit, it seems to be at the second level of He Dao.” Ye Zang observed with his Dharma eyes.

After the primordial spirit was sacrificed, the sky became dim, as if it were day and night.

The terrifying power of the soul emanated, making people dizzy.

Ye Zang did not take action to confront him. He had not yet advanced to the He Dao stage. Even if he sacrificed his own spirit, he could only flee in panic and could not fight back. After all, although the latter's spiritual power was not as strong as his, one of the main souls, the Heaven Soul and the Earth Soul, had been cultivated to perfection.

"Yanshan, you are looking for death!"

With a furious roar, Tushan Younan's angry voice was heard from Qingqiu Cave.

Tushan Younan also took action. Although a lot of her magic power was lost, her soul was a genuine triple-in-one state. Although she was affected by the catastrophe and was not as strong as in her heyday, she should not be underestimated.

It was the spirit of a five-tailed demon fox, which emerged from the clouds and mist while howling, bringing with it thunder.

As soon as the demon lord made a move, he displayed the magical power of Hedao. His powerful soul gathered thunder and shuttled through the void to attack and kill.

At the same time, from the depths of the distant sea, there seemed to be another huge fish baby monster swimming over, turning the rivers and seas upside down with a terrifying momentum.
