Zhang spent the night treating his injuries and cultivating. During this time, he also refined his swordsmanship. Half a month passed in a daze as he hid deep within the ocean.

  Above the Hanging City, Gu Si Hong urgently convened a core decision-making meeting.

  In the grand hall of the Council Chamber, Gu Si Hong's expression was solemn, sitting upright at the top, and after a long time, he said: "I don't know if you have heard anything, Tian Ye escaped from the encirclement of seven powerful experts on the fourth floor of the East Sea, killing three true disciples of Donghai Fudi, and then fled into the deep sea. And Tang Tianlai has not returned yet, it is said that he was intercepted by Donghai Fudi and is now being held captive. Now, Donghai Fudi has sent a message asking us to give an explanation."

  "What?!"

  "What?!"

  Amidst countless gasps, almost everyone stood up at once.

  The four elder giants, Huo Tianlang and Luo Tianhang, all of them were no exception, with their mouths half open, doubting whether they had misheard.

  "Master Palm Gate, please tell me in detail." Tan Siqin said coldly.

  Gu Si Hong said, "The East Sea is unwilling to reveal more details, and I don't know either. However, the seven people who surrounded and killed Tian Ye at night were instead killed by Tian Ye, three of them, and he broke through the encirclement. This ugly affair came from the mouth of the East Sea, it's probably true. They have always disliked exposing ugly affairs. This time they probably had no choice but to speak out."

  Wang Siqi stood up and shouted: "These pigs from the East Sea, they really dare to bully me, the mysterious and unparalleled one. What are you doing surrounding my disciple?"

  "Junior sister, calm down first. There must be a reason for this, but at the moment, we have no way of knowing, not even whether Tian Ye is alive or dead."

  "He won't die." Tan Siqin said coldly, "To kill his way out of the encirclement from the hands of the seven true disciples of Donghai, it's not only necessary to have great willpower and combat talent, but also great luck. Since Tian Ye has such luck, he definitely won't die, heaven won't allow him to die!"

  Gu Si Hong nodded and said: "That's what you say, but it won't die, for us, it may not be a good thing."

  "How dare you speak like this!" Wang Siqi suddenly stood up and shouted.

  "Disciple sister, don't be impulsive. What the sect leader said is right. If Zhang Ye doesn't die, but the people of Donghai are killed by him, then a grudge will be formed and there must be an explanation. What if Zhang Ye really escapes, do you think we should protect or not protect?"

  "Nonsense!" Tan Siqin shouted coldly, "He is my true disciple and the hope for the future, of course I will protect him with my life."

  Gu Si Hong thought for a moment and said, "I agree with your point of view. But I'd like to ask, if Hu Zhang Ye is involved, will it affect the life and death of my Tai Xuan? The ancestral teachings are in my hands, and you are my fellow disciple, how would you choose?"

  Tan Siqin was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment.

  However, she immediately said: "In any case, we can't just let Donghai Fudi's mouth be the final say. I suggest that we immediately send someone to Donghai to find Zhang Ye and at least bring him back. Let us figure out what happened ourselves before making a conclusion. Even if he needs to be punished, it should be done by us."

  Wang Siqi nodded and said: "I agree. I'll go with Tan Siqin to the East Sea to pick up Zhang Ye."

  "Nonsense!" Transmission Master slapped the case table and said, "It's simply nonsense! You go to respond, what if Jian Xing also brings his elders to personally block the attack? What do we do? How to deal with the follow-up, is this the beginning of the split of the Immortal Dao Alliance? Don't let the Demon Dao laugh."

  "Splitting is splitting, arbitrarily detaining our disciples, randomly attacking the core true transmission disciples of my sect. When has Donghai ever cared about the Xian Dao Alliance?" Tan Siqin and Wang Siqi said in unison.

  "Both of you, junior sisters, stop talking." Gu Si Hong said solemnly, "The current situation is not trivial, my responsibility is heavy, and I cannot make a decision lightly. Whether to give up or protect, let me consider it. Before I make a decision, pass on the order, recall all disciples who are outside, and none of the inner disciples are allowed to leave the mountain gate one step. Including the four great elders. Those who disobey will be considered as betraying the sect."

  。。。

  Success!

  A loud rumble, the refined and shaped Tian Jue Twelve Absolute Slaughter Sword Formation, twelve cold lights rose, burst out of Yi Hua Ding.

  Twelve flying swords revolve in the air above the gourd space, five-colored glaze.

  Zhang Ye wiped away the sweat on his forehead and recalled the flying sword.

  Now, there are only two sets of sword arrays.

  The power of the Jiugong Fen Guang Jian array is slightly inferior to that of a sixth-grade treasure. However, this set of Tian Rang Twelve Sword Arrays, after being forged by the demon bones, has already surpassed that of a sixth-grade treasure, according to Ziyi.

  However, it's just that driving is too exhausting for one's true energy.

  Only by driving the Tianfu sword array in the gourd, changing two formations, Zhang Ye, although not being counter-attacked with danger, already had a sign of true energy exhaustion.

  A treasure of this level, in theory, can be controlled by at least a Golden Elixir cultivator at the initial stage. To fully control it, one must be at least at the second layer of Golden Elixir or above.

  Zhang Ye's current true strength was only at the fifth layer of the Split Spirit stage.

  The Heaven Punisher Sword Formation, which is less powerful than a seventh-grade treasure, requires more spiritual power to control than a seventh-grade treasure.

  After all, the four-product treasure is much worse than the seven-product treasure in terms of spiritual power and spirit, so the loss in driving is far more than that of the seven-product treasure. The only advantage is that even if there are many four-product treasures, it is not easy to backfire on Zhang Ye now.

  So Zhang Ye, with strength inferior to Jindan's, had to control a sword array that consumed more energy than a seventh-grade treasure, no wonder he was almost exhausted after just two transformations.

  Receive

  Zhang Ye didn't think much about it and recalled his sword array.

  The spirit left the gourd and returned to his body.

  It's still too dim after looking around.

  This depth of coldness made Zhang Ye's current cultivation tremble slightly.

  "Let's go and attack them, we'll find a few isolated disciples of the East Sea to kill, so that they know I'm not easy to bully." Zhang Ye was now full of confidence.

  Just got up and didn't leave yet, but found the water was rippling.

  The response was released, Zhang Ye felt it, at this depth, on the other side of the trench, two huge black masses were entangled, seemingly fighting.

  During this time, Zhang Ye sensed a rather evil aura, which made him feel uncomfortable.

  "Let's go take a look." Zhang Ye urged his magic, under the protection of the Five Elements Mystic Robe, and stealthily made his way to the other side of the ocean trench.

  After walking for about ten or twenty miles, I only felt a faint sense of the deep sea, as if two huge mountains were fighting in the darkness.

  To be exact, it's a giant octopus that can stretch up to one mile long, entwined with a gigantic turtle shell in a death struggle.

  Gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw——

  That giant octopus seemed to have gone mad, embracing a turtle shell almost as big as itself and biting it crazily.

  Ding ding ding——

  Even in the depths of the ocean, this beast bit out sparks from a turtle shell as hard as diamond.

  Zhang Ye couldn't help but stare blankly.

  "This is the Deep Sea Demon, and that turtle is a Dragon Ghost." Zi Yi introduced, "Unexpectedly, after so many thousands of years, these things have not been exterminated yet, and can still survive."

  "Strange," said the purple-robed man in a low voice, "these two things usually don't appear in such shallow seas. Most of the time they hide in the deep sea. What reason made them come up?"

  "Could it be related to the demonic energy in the earth's core? The demonic energy scared them, causing them to float up?"

  "For now, it can only be explained this way." Zi Yi nodded.

  "Can these two guys refine things?"

  Zi Yi shook her head and said, "Not much use, these things are low-level creatures, their spiritual energy and willpower are not enough, even if they live long, their cultivation is limited."

  Zhang Ye felt a wave of disappointment and continued to observe.
