Daoist Competition

Chapter 1441: Chapter 107: The Imperial Seal Map Determines the Command Token

Upon hearing Elder You mention the ancestor’s Dharma Treasure, Daoist Ji was moved, stepped back a few paces, and said in a low voice, "Could it be the Imperial Seal Map?"

Elder You’s expression was somewhat reserved, saying, "Did not expect Ji Daoist has also heard of it?"

How could Daoist Ji not know of this? The Imperial Seal Map was handed down by the Da Mi Ancestor master, containing three Divine Skills Command issued personally by Master Da Mi before Ascension, categorized into Break, Guard, and Fix commands, given to younger clan members for self-preservation. Thinking of this, he dared not underestimate this person.

Yet what he didn’t know was that, while the commands were formidable, two had already been used over thousands of years.

The Guard Order was deceitfully taken by Elder Golden Bell in the early days of Zhongtai’s founding, and the Break Order, earlier for dealing with the Corpse Pride Sect’s sect’s treasure "Lifeless Treasure Coffin," under the combined pressure from Zhongtai and Xuanyue’s moral justification, the You Family had no choice but to bring it out, now only the least noticeable Fix Order remains.

Elder You came this time not because he was coerced by Ancestor Hui Xuan.

Previously, when the Northern Continent’s two heroes stood side by side, the You Family could still maneuver between the two sects, but after the unification, their position became awkward.

Especially after Xuanyue’s defeat in the fighting, Chunyu Ji once secretly sent people to discuss strategies, later Zhongtai seemed to sense it, their attitude towards the You Family became increasingly cold, even took the opportunity to drive out many cultivators of You surname.

Under such circumstances, the You Family was eager to seek self-preservation, originally intending to ally with the Southern Three Sects, but over thousands of years, the clan’s roots were all in the Northern, not something to discard at a moment’s notice.

At the moment of hesitation, Ancestor Hui Xuan informed them of the Python Clan’s plan to enter the continent, with no other way out, they decided to try and ally with him, to show sincerity, hence coming here to jointly slay Zhang Yan.

Ancestor Hui Xuan stated at this time, "That Zhang Daoist will likely emerge soon, the matter is urgent, set the Array Flag first. Since this plan was proposed by Ji Daoist, I assume he is prepared."

Setting array flags is not an easy task; it requires skillful concealment, otherwise, if those being plotted against sense something amiss and prepare beforehand, success would be difficult.

Daoist Ji did not speak, instead raising his sleeve to draw out an Array Flag, shaking it in the wind to unfold the flag surface, which was not an ordinary small flag of half a foot but five-foot long, nearly as tall as a person, stroking the gold-embroidered flag surface, murmuring incantations under his breath, in no time, a puff of black mist emerged from his palm, quickly dyeing the flag pitch black, unrecognizable from its original form. He handed it over saying, "This item has been refined with the sect’s Secret Technique; when forming an array, this serves as the main flag, if one’s Daoist Cultivation is not higher than mine, it will be impossible to detect."

Hui Xuan took it, played with it for a moment, then casually handed it to Qu Changzhi, saying, "You go and arrange it with Lady Lian."

Lady Lian pouted and said, "I cannot handle array flags."

Ancestor Hui Xuan replied, "Lady Lian is joking; the Lian Clan is a Great Clan of East Victory, and has produced array masters. How could this mere array flag trouble you? Please act swiftly."

Though his face was genial, his words were not to be doubted.

Daoist Ji coldly added from the side, "If you do not comply, it means you refuse to contribute, what use is there in keeping you?"

Lady Lian shivered all over, her expression changed several times before she chose to comply, biting her lip as she took the array flag and went out.

Ancestor Hui Xuan instructed Qu Changzhi, "Watch her closely; make sure she doesn’t meddle."

Qu Changzhi nodded and followed.

Lady Lian was indeed skilled, in just a few dozen breaths, she determined the positions, placed over a hundred array flags, interlinked them into a formation with hidden killing intent, finally casting the main flag into the array, concealing all spiritual mechanisms, leaving no trace.

After the two returned, Ancestor Hui Xuan said to Qu Changzhi, "Disciple, once he emerges and is immobilized by Daoist You’s magic, intercept his escape route."

After issuing these instructions, he turned and spoke gently to Lady Lian, "Lady Lian, newly ascending Nascent Soul, your Dharma Treasure may not be handy, frontal combat is not your forte, just observe from above, see if any outsiders come, if there’s an opportunity, you can also assist in holding off."

Lady Lian initially thought she would be sent to fight at the front, which would be a situation of certain death, but did not expect such an easy arrangement. Though she couldn’t understand the underlying intentions, avoiding the battle was desirable, she said, "I understand."

She bowed and rode the wind towards the Heaven.

Daoist Ji commented coldly, "I feel she’s resistant, Brother Daoist arranges like this, aren’t you afraid she’ll escape amidst the chaos?"
