Chapter 564: The Yellow Liang Sea Beast
If the entire "Huangliang" is regarded as a boundless dark ocean, then the man-made dreams are the "sea beasts" living in it.

Dreams can be big or small, and the same is true for the "sea beasts" that they transform into.

The tiny ones are like a grain of sand, the crudely made goods peddled by street vendors.

The huge ones are like fairy mountains in the sea, which are the transformations of the caves and heavens of the major Taoist sects.

For those who enter the dark sea and transform their spiritual power into a ship to sail in it, the most important thing is not to collide with these dark sea creatures. Otherwise, accidentally breaking into someone else's dream is a small matter, and in serious cases, the ship may be destroyed and the animals may die.

Once a dream is shattered, it will crumble into pieces and sink into the depths of the dark sea.

Although the cave world that was voluntarily closed like Zhao Yanlong's has not been broken, it has already cut off its vitality and will continue to sink like a dead reef.

When sinking to a certain stage, the huge pressure will crush the body of the "sea beast" into pieces, and no one's consciousness can survive.

Huangliang has been developed for decades since its establishment. However, the "sea beast" built by the entire Ming Empire is still just a drop in the ocean for the entire Huangliang.

The so-called "soul-hunting" is to use some special "anchor points" to search and lock the breath of the "sea beast" corpse.

Only a very small number of "good swimmers" can do this. Only they can stay briefly in this bottomless ocean to look for people and visit dreams.

The two people sitting opposite each other in this boat at this moment are both "good swimmers".

Zou Sijiu stared at the other party with an unfriendly look. The dark sea was boundless, and Zhang Qingli could find his position so accurately. This meant that the closed cave that Zhao Yanlong had sunk into the sea was nearby.

Both of them were guided by the 'anchor point'!

"I have already paid for the boat ticket. Otherwise, how could your boat appear here?"

Zhang Qingli's empty eyes slowly focused on Zou Sijiu's face. He spoke in a gentle tone and even bowed to him. There was no intention of fighting with Zou Sijiu.

If there were an outsider present at this moment, he would probably not be able to tell from this polite behavior that the two parties are already at loggerheads with each other in this world.

"So, the 'human immortal seat' in Xuan Huo's hand was deliberately left for us by you?"

Zou Sijiu frowned, and for a moment he was a little confused about Zhang Qingli's intention.

This was the first time that he had met the Dean of the Law and Seal Department of the Tianshi Mansion. Although he did not see the arrogance and arrogance that the Zhang family members usually had in Zhang Qingli, he could not rule out the possibility that he was a cunning person who was good at disguise.

It is no secret that Zhao Yanlong is the last disciple of Wudang, and it is also expected that Longhu Mountain covets his cave.

Logically speaking, since Zhang Qingli knew that the 'Human Immortal Seat' could be used as an anchor point, as long as he took it from Xuanhuo first, he could cut off all possibilities of salvaging the cave heaven.

But the other party deliberately kept him, and he showed up as soon as he found him. It was obvious that he had already determined that Zhao Yanlong's cave was in the nearby sea.

All signs indicate that Zhang Qingli might have been waiting for him here on purpose.

What did he want to do? Could it be that this Director of the Law and Seal Bureau was also planning to rebel against Longhu Mountain and was preparing to contact him to launch an internal and external attack to kill his relatives for the sake of justice? !
Thinking of this, Zou Sijiu looked at Zhang Qingli with a little more warmth in his eyes.

But before he could open his mouth, Zhang Qingli said, "That's right, but I did this because I want to talk to you in person."

"I understand. I understand too well. You definitely can't say this kind of thing outside. If someone corners you, you'll be in danger, my friend."

Zou Sijiu said softly, "Don't worry, our policy has always been to treat prisoners well. After all, it was Longhu Mountain that was wrong, not you. Lotus can grow in mud. As long as you are willing to help us lead the way, you will definitely get the benefits after the success."

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood, fellow Daoist."

Zhang Qingli looked at Zou Sijiu who was making faces, with a helpless look on his face.

"Misunderstanding? Ah, I see. You want to discuss the price, right? Of course, no problem!"

Zou Sijiu waved his hand and said in a heroic manner, "Just ask for whatever you want. Li Jun, Chen Qisheng, Ma Wangye and the others have always followed my lead. Once I agree, it will be a promise. There is no possibility of me denying it."

"It seems that you still don't understand what I said."

Zhang Qingli raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Let me put it this way. I left you the clue of 'The Seat of the Human Immortal' because I wanted to find a way for you to survive. It's not like what you imagined. I'm going to rebel against Longhu Mountain. Do you understand?"

"I thought that your Zhang family's genes finally produced a good seed, but it seems that I was overthinking it."

The smile on Zou Sijiu's lips gradually disappeared. He leaned back, put his elbows on the edge of the boat, and looked down at the other person.

"Since you're not going to lead the way, why are you and Master Zou calling me fellow Taoist here? How are you trying to get close to me?"

Zhang Qingli frowned and said, "The Dao Order and the Yin-Yang Order have a deep connection, and they once worked together to complete the feat of building Huangliang. That's why I call you Dao Fellow, which is reasonable."

"You kicked the Yin-Yang Order halfway, and when you got rid of it, you didn't care about your fellow Taoists at all."

Zou Sijiu was not interested in talking to the silly Zhang Qingli about the grievances between Daoxu and Yin and Yang. He waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these old almanacs anymore. Just mark the Dao and let's discuss it."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Qingli obviously didn't understand Zou Sijiu's words which were full of gangster spirit.

"It seems like this is another 'god' who is not concerned with worldly matters."

Zou Sijiu raised his chin and said sarcastically, "What do you want to do by doing this?"

"I hope you can temporarily put aside your grievances with Longhu Mountain and leave Jiangxi Province immediately. As a condition, after I have retrieved Zhao Yanlong's cave, I can grant Chen Qisheng a chance to enter."

Zhang Qingli paused, "But the prerequisite is that you must enter accompanied by a mage from the Fazhuan Bureau."

In the boundless ocean, on a small boat.

Apart from the sound of the sea water hitting the hull, there was no other sound.

The four looked at each other, one of them had self-righteous sincerity in his eyes, while the other looked like he was looking at a fool who had jumped out of nowhere, and the atmosphere was weird for a moment.

Zou Sijiu suddenly asked, "Are you done?"

"That's all." Zhang Qingli nodded.

Zou Sijiu looked the other person up and down repeatedly with strange eyes, and finally confirmed that Zhang Qingli was not an old fox, but a real young man.

"This is the first time I've seen your way of negotiating, Master Zou."

Zou Sijiu sneered, "What? Do you mean that we should put our weapons into storage immediately and leave Jiangxi?"

"Yes."

"This is the only way to get a chance to enter Zhao Yanlong's cave?"

"If Chen Qisheng is destined to be with Wudang, one chance is enough."

"And I have to be under your surveillance?"

"Yes."

"Oh, do you really think that Master Zou and I are begging for food on our knees?"

"It's not begging, it's saving lives." Zhang Qingli said seriously.

Zou Sijiu sat up straight and asked with a sneer, "To be honest, I'm very curious, who are you hanging out with in the Tianshi Mansion?"

"Fellow Daoist Zou, be careful with your words. I am practicing with the great Heavenly Master Zhang Chongcheng."

There was a hint of anger in Zhang Qingli's eyes and his tone was dissatisfied.

"So, you are not in the same group with them? No wonder." Zou Sijiu crossed his arms across his chest, his face full of contempt.

Zhang Qingli suppressed his impatience and said in a deep voice: "The order of Chongcheng Tianshi is that as long as you leave Jiangxi Province now and stop disturbing the peace of Longhu Mountain, all the sins you have committed in the past will be forgiven!"

"Isn't it just that Zhang Chonglian, the current 'Zhang Tianshi' of your Longhu Mountain, is currently in 'harmony with the Dao'? Why are you trying to be so tactful with Master Zou? What riddles are you telling me?"

Zou Sijiu said disdainfully: "He Zhang Chongyuan wants to slay demons and eliminate monsters to vindicate the majesty of Dragon and Tiger. But Zhang Chongcheng is doing something behind his back to undermine him. He carries the banner of justice but steps on others to show off himself. Tsk tsk, Master Zou, I'm saying that you guys at Mount Longhu are in such a mess now, and you still have the mind to fight among yourselves?" "Grand Heavenly Master Chongyuan has a hot temper and impulsively disregards the overall situation, but he is not wrong in maintaining the majesty of Dragon and Tiger. Grand Heavenly Master Chongcheng stepped in to mediate and resolve the conflict, which is not an internal fight, but for the sake of the sect."

"You are using a lot of whitewashing words. Don't you want to consider the overall situation? Okay, I will satisfy you, but we also have a condition."

Zou Sijiu said proudly: "Let Zhang Chongyuan come down the mountain in person, bring the two bastards Yang Zong and Zhang Qingyu, and kowtow in front of my brother to admit their mistakes, and admit that they had used despicable means to slander the old Heavenly Master Xuan Dou, then the interest on this debt between us will be cleared."

"Listen carefully, this is just the interest, as for the principal."

Zou Sijiu sat with his horse and sword in his arms, staring ahead with a finger raised in front of him: "That depends on how my brother feels. If he feels unhappy, none of these three people will survive. If you can do it, then the hatred between us and Longhu Mountain will be wiped out."

Zhang Qingli's eyes were cold: "Zou Sijiu, you can't represent Li Jun. I advise you to take this message back and don't act on your own here, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

"It's just a trivial matter. Not to mention Master Zou, even Shen Li can make the decision if he comes."

Zou Sijiu pressed his fingers forward and poked Zhang Qingli with his fingertips.

"Looking at your appearance, you definitely can't make the decision. Hurry up and get out of here, and don't bother Master Zou from retrieving souls. Otherwise, I will count you as 'interest'."

"Zhao Yanlong's cave belongs to Longhu Mountain. No one else is qualified to get involved."

Zhang Qingli said coldly: "Since you want to disobey the order of the Great Heavenly Master Chongcheng, I don't need to be polite to you. Get out of this sea area now!"

"So after all this time, you're going to have to fight to decide who's better? I was such a fool to think you could turn back from your mistakes. I forgot that all of you Zhangs are fucking bastards cut from the same mold."

Zou Sijiu unbuttoned his collar and said, "Who else is lying in ambush? Shout them out. Otherwise, don't say that I, Master Zou, bullied you."

"It's no wonder that your Yin-Yang Order has fallen to this point today."

Zhang Qingli's eyes gradually turned cold and his tone became indifferent. This was his true appearance.

"You are a monkey in human form, pretending to be the will of heaven and speaking without restraint. You are a fox pretending to be a tiger, helping the tyrant to commit atrocities and colluding with the wicked. 'Huangliang' is the reward of heaven for the sincerity of Daoxu. It is a great blessing for you to participate in it, but you don't know what is good for you and want to rebel against Tiangang. You are simply seeking your own death."

"Stop it. Your insults are full of sourness. I don't even have the interest to talk back. Are you stupid because of the ritual? I think Zhang Chongcheng didn't ask you to come here to negotiate. I'm afraid you are here to stir up trouble!"

Zou Sijiu cursed all the time, his eyes were bright as fire, white air was flowing between his mouth and nose, and his bulging muscles were filling his clothes.

He exudes a tough and wild aura, like a warrior.

Zou Sijiu turned his neck, making a series of bone-crackling sounds, and said with a fierce smile: "It's been a long time since I played with Lao Li. Today I will practice on you first!"

"Insanity."

Zhang Qingli stood still, his surging spiritual thoughts stirring up waves of shock.

At the same time, not far from the boat, a luxurious ship slowly appeared from nothingness. On the sail that was full of wind power was a huge "Zhang" character. The bow broke through the waves and crushed over.

It is the embodiment of the Huangliang authority possessed by Zhang Qingli.

In comparison, the small boat under Zou Sijiu's buttocks seems extremely shabby.

"Fuck you, what's so great about being rich?!"

Zou Sijiu cursed in a low voice and immediately rushed out.

boom!
"Zou Sijiu, the most useless martial artist in the Yellow Millet Sea, you are not only arrogant, but also stupid."

Zhang Qingli's eyes were empty, and layers of colorful and gorgeous transparent crystals condensed in front of him in the blink of an eye. Their appearance was like frost crystals, and they seemed fragile, but they easily blocked Zou Sijiu's heavy punch.

The waves roared and the ship came with great force.

"You know nothing. The martial arts order does not enter the Yellow Millet Sea. I am a lone martial artist!"

Zou Sijiu roared angrily, and his whip-kick turned into a black shadow, hitting the crystal wall shield hard.

The loud noise of glass shattering came one after another, and it was shattered layer by layer under Zou Sijiu's fists and feet.

The boat was shaking and fine cracks were spreading.

"Using the backdoor to erode and offset authority? This method will not be used for long in Yin Yang Order. After the five celestial beings in Baiyujing unite, you rats will have nowhere to hide and will be drowned in the deep sea!"

Before the last layer of the divine mind crystal wall was shattered, Zhang Qingli pointed his toes, leaped up, and landed on the building ship.

Zhang Qingli stood proudly at the bow, his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering, looking like a celestial being roaming the deep sea.

The huge ship beneath him was riding the wind and waves, rushing forward, trying to crush Zou Sijiu's boat into pieces.

"Yin and Yang cannot steal the sky. Even if you pretend to be a lone warrior, you can't stir up any waves in this dark sea."

Zhang Qingli lowered his head to look at Zou Sijiu on the shabby boat, only to see him standing leisurely at the bow, with his right thumb raised, slowly stroking it under his neck.

"Um?!"

Zhang Qingli felt a sudden tightness in his heart.

boom!
Huge waves surged, the ship capsized, and a thick arm covered with black mane suddenly rushed out from under the sea and punched the ship in half.

Amid the flying wreckage, Zhang Qingli rose into the air in a panic, his eyes filled with shock and horror.

Roar!
A deafening monkey roar rolled across the sea like thunder, and five fingers as thick as beams and as fast as lightning grabbed Zhang Qingli who was in mid-air.

There was a sound of breaking air behind him, and Zou Sijiu also attacked at this moment.

Daoxu of Longhu Mountain, who was caught in the pincer attack, snorted in anger and resentment, and before he could close his five fingers, his figure disappeared like the wind.

The ape arm grabbed a handful of air and smashed it angrily on the sea surface, then disappeared in the water splash several feet high.

Wow.
The waves fell like rain, soaking Zou Sijiu who fell on the bow of the boat.

He ran his hands over his temples, combing the stray hair into place.

"You still can't make waves? If you have the guts, don't run away."

"Okay, everyone's gone, why are you still cursing? Hurry up and get his soul back. Otherwise, if Zhang Qingli comes back, we'll have to run away."

A black umbrella was propped up at the stern, its tilted surface blocking the woman's upper body, leaving only a pair of crossed long legs exposed.

"Don't worry, Sister Yuan, he doesn't have the guts. On the surface, this guy looks like he's lost his mind in a dream, but he's actually very smart. If he dares to suddenly mobilize a large number of people from the Law and Seal Bureau, Zhang Chongyuan will definitely guess that he's behind it."

Zou Sijiu had a confident look as if he knew everything about Taoism: "These Taoists are very sinister."

When the umbrella was lifted, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes were revealed.

"What if he goes to Baiyujing to lock up this 'human immortal seat'? Without the soul-summoning flag, what can you use to find someone?"

".I almost forgot about this."

Zou Sijiu was suddenly startled and quickly pulled up the long pole holding the jade pendant and shook it hard.

"The sea is desolate and the cave is sinking. My name is Zou Sijiu. I use the names of the four Zhuang Zhou butterflies of Yin and Yang, the seat of the human immortal as a guide, and the name of a Wudang disciple to go to Huangliang to retrieve souls and visit the gate of the cave!"

A strange-toned shout echoed on the sea. A long pole protruded from the bow of the ship, and the jade pendant emitted a fluorescent light that illuminated an area of ​​ten feet.

A moment later, huge bubbles suddenly appeared on the sea surface, as if something was about to rise from below.

Wow.

A sea beast that was much larger than the boat emerged, its body a dull gray in color, without a trace of life.

Zou Sijiu swung the long pole, and the jade pendant fell into the sea with a splash. The tip of the pole hooked the body of the sea beast. He turned around to look at Yuan Mingfei at the stern and smiled.

"Sister Yuan, would you mind rowing the boat?"
