Speaking of how the Sixth Elder, Leng Buyan, learned of Yanji Lake's news, it was purely by chance. It was precisely at this place that Yun Xiao, borrowing Ge Wanli's assistance, made Zhang Daohe hesitant to act, leading to the dispatch of that Spirit Fla Communication.
Originally, Zhang Daohe aid to summon only so Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivators from Wuyan Palace to monopolize the credit. However, unexpectedly, Leng Buyan accidentally got wind of the news and wanted to co and claim a share of the credit.
Leng Buyan knew that Yanji Lake was the ancestral land of Wuyan Palace, and now Yun Xiao, having gathered the four fragnts of the Wuyan Cloth, appeared here, indicating that the secret treasure Wuyan Palace had been seeking for years was likely within Yanji Lake.
Since such a great opportunity had co to his attention, how could Leng Buyan allow only Zhang Daohe to enjoy the glory? Thus, he rushed over imdiately, only to find Zhang Daohe looking rather disheveled when he arrived at Yanji Lake.
To be honest, although Zhang Daohe was displeased with the Sixth Elder trying to steal the credit, seeing Leng Buyan, he involuntarily felt relieved because he was truly apprehensive of the young man called Yun Xiao.
Moreover, with Ge Wanli assisting Yun Xiao, Zhang Daohe wasn't sure whether the Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivators he summoned could really handle Yun Xiao.
Now with Leng Buyan, also in the Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm, Zhang Daohe reassured himself that no matter how powerful Yun Xiao was, he couldn't possibly escape, and the treasure beneath Yanji Lake would ultimately belong to Wuyan Palace.
Leng Buyan occasionally glanced at the misty Yanji Lake. With the pathway lost, he couldn't locate the true position of Water Palace, so he could only wait here.
As for the ant-like youth Zhang Daohe ntioned, Leng Buyan never took him seriously.
Firstly, his strength surpassed Zhang Daohe's by several asures, and secondly, not having witnessed Yun Xiao's skills, he believed Zhang Daohe was rely exaggerating the opponent to make excuses for himself.
Cold by nature as his na suggests, Leng Buyan didn't like to talk much. So, during the few days he spent here, apart from asking a few questions upon arrival, he remained silent, creating a sowhat oppressive atmosphere.
This monotonous waiting was indeed irritating, as no one knew how long they'd have to wait. If Yun Xiao stayed within Yanji Lake for years, did that an they'd have to wait for years too?
Whoosh… Whoosh…
Just as the mbers of Wuyan Palace were growing impatient, it seed that so wind sounds ca from the sky, and this breeze sounded different from the ordinary winds before.
"Look!"
One of the Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm experts from Wuyan Palace was the first to react, pointing towards Yanji Lake. Following the sound, everyone noticed that the mist above Yanji Lake had been dispersed by this gentle breeze.
In just a mont, the fog that had enveloped the entire Yanji Lake vanished, revealing a vast lake surface as green as jade, srizing everyone into a long spell of daze.
The shore wasn't devoid of wind before, yet those mists seed glued to Yanji Lake, steadfastly immovable despite the strong gusts.
People like Zhang Daohe and Leng Buyan knew these weren't ordinary mists but a power ford by a unique array, impervious to usual winds.
"Could it be that so change occurred beneath Yanji Lake?"
A thought flashed across Zhang Daohe's mind, along with a trace of excitent since any activity was better than none. Now that Yanji Lake exhibited movent, it could spell an end to their dull waiting.
"Look, what's that?"
A mont later, the sa Wuyan Palace expert exclaid again, as an unexpected head popped above the tranquil, mirror-like surface of Yanji Lake.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
As the first head erged, Yanji Lake instantly transford from a serene mirror to boiling water with dumplings bobbing up—one head after another breaking the surface, appearing strange and uncanny.
Crash!
Amid the gazes of the crowd, a figure directly shot out from the water into the sky, perford a beautiful airborne twist, and landed steadily on the shore. It was Ge Wanli from Demons Mountain.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Several more splashes followed, and soon, Jia Tianshu from the Divine Enlightennt Sect and Wu Tong from Firewood Valley, each escorted the sect's geniuses, leaping ashore.
"It seems that a change indeed occurred beneath the lake!"
Seeing this scene, Leng Buyan's mind raced with thoughts, while Zhang Daohe was continually scanning the lake surface, intent on finding the rough-clothed youth who had once vexed him so greatly among the nurous dumpling-like figures.
"That person… is Leng Buyan of Wuyan Palace?"
Ge Wanli flew to the shore, and his ridian Qi shook, evaporating all the moisture in his robe. When he turned his gaze to the location of Zhang Daohe, his eyes narrowed.
Ge Wanli had once had a brief encounter with Sixth Elder Leng Buyan from Wuyan Palace, so he was sowhat impressed. However, his mood turned sour because he knew what these guys were guarding outside Yanji Lake for.
"Looks like there's a good show to watch!"
Jia Tianshu and Wu Tong naturally also recognized the Sixth Elder from Wuyan Palace, both feeling quite sentintal, and thus did not leave imdiately. They found a good spot to prepare to watch another spectacular show.
As ti passed and the surviving cultivators swam back to shore, including the Lv Family father and daughter, so of them also recognized the Sixth Elder from Wuyan Palace. They all had the sa idea as Jia Tianshu and Wu Tong and did not leave.
Everyone knew that not only was Yanji Lake the ancestral land of Wuyan Palace, but the trouble Yun Xiao caused Zhang Daohe inside the Water Palace made it impossible for these powerful individuals from Wuyan Palace to easily spare that rough-cloth youth.
However, even if they erged from the bottom of Yanji Lake, they had no idea what state Yun Xiao was in and how long it would take to see this good show?
"Amitabha!"
As everyone's faces showed surprised looks while sizing up the people from Wuyan Palace, a Buddhist chant suddenly ca from the west side. When everyone turned their heads to look, they saw a white-browed monk in a big red robe slowly approaching from afar.
"That is..."
Seeing this old monk, Ge Wanli's eyes condensed again, but he couldn't recall the identity for a mont. He turned a questioning gaze to Jia Tianshu, the Elder from Divine Enlightennt Sect, who was not far away.
"It's Yu Kuzhan, the 'Demon Suppressing Arhat' from Thunder Sound Mountain!"
As expected, Jia Tianshu, with the intelligence from Divine Enlightennt Sect, recognized the identity of the white-browed monk at first glance. With these words, many cultivators listening couldn't help but step back.
Demon Suppressing Arhat Yu Kuzhan was reputed to be a famous character of Thunder Sound Mountain. The esoteric zen he practiced was essentially a path of killing, entering into zen through kill, making him one of the rare figures from Thunder Sound Mountain.
Don't mistakenly think Thunder Sound Mountain, being a Buddhist sect, practices Mahayana Secret Sect and thus is compassionate. In fact, many strong individuals in their sect are drenched in blood, not traditional Buddhist sects.
Take this Demon Suppressing Arhat, for instance. The number of cultivators dying at his hands is countless, and his hands are stained with blood, even more terrifying than so demons across Tenglong Continent.
"Him? It's troubleso now!"
After going over Yu Kuzhan's life experiences in his mind, Ge Wanli's face undoubtedly turned extrely unsightly, as he knew this Thunder Sound Mountain's Killing God, known as Demon Suppressing Arhat, had deep ties with the deceased Eight-Ard Arhat.
Thunder Sound Mountain and Ten Thousand Demons Mountain are one of the twin peaks, so they understood each other's strong figures within the sects. Previously, Ge Wanli just felt Yu Kuzhan seed familiar, unable to recall him imdiately.
Now it seems Eight-Ard Arhat Zong Puti's death and the shattered soul token stored in Thunder Sound Mountain made this close friend, Demon Suppressing Arhat, rush to Yanji Lake within a month, certainly for vengeance.
"Haha, so Master Kuhan is here. Seems we have the sa purpose, might as well collaborate!"
Just as Ge Wanli grew anxious due to Yu Kuzhan's appearance, a hearty voice suddenly ca from sowhere. When everyone followed the sound to look, they found it was Zhang Daohe, the Seventh Elder from Wuyan Palace.
"Amitabha, Benefactor Zhang has been here for long, must know who killed my brother Puti. Please kindly inform , this old monk would be deeply grateful!"
It seems Yu Kuzhan only knew Zong Puti's soul token had shattered, that he had arrived at Yanji Lake, but not who his killer was, leading to this inquiry now.
"Your brother died at the hands of a little bastard nad Yun Xiao, rest assured, our Wuyan Palace won't let him off easily!"
To cultivate such a potential ally, Zhang Daohe certainly intended to curry favor, knowing full well that Ge Wanli from Ten Thousand Demons Mountain would surely aid Yun Xiao.
Besides, he was unsure whether the Divine Enlightennt Sect and Firewood Valley would intervene, having an additional help like Demon Suppressing Arhat of the Late Stage of Earth Bending Realm was no small assistance.
"Yun Xiao? Is it the Yun Xiao from Lianyun Mountain?"
It seems Yu Kuzhan was also familiar with the na Yun Xiao, nodding at the ntion, though speaking of Lianyun Mountain without much apprehension.
"Since he dared to kill our Thunder Sound Mountain's Arhat, even the Heavenly King can't protect him!"
Despite his courteous speech earlier, Yu Kuzhan's rage now revealed his coarse and overbearing nature, causing everyone to silently mourn for Yun Xiao.
Thinking how Yun Xiao's enemies kept multiplying, this ti escaping danger would not be easy.
