Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, praised him a few words, then turned to Zhang Boyant and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, have you gained anything?"
Since Zhang Boyant was from the Nether Spring Sect, he did not force him to travel with Xu Daoist, only instructing him to continue investigating the Demon Sect territory.
Zhang Boyant first cupped his hands in a salute, then sighed and said, "Upon my return to the mountain, I found that quite a number of promising talents have emerged among the younger disciples of our Demon Sect."
His words carried both pride and regret. After entering the small realm, he had been out of contact and hadn't returned to the Mountain Gate for decades. The sect had long assumed him to be dead.
Secretly investigating, he discovered that even his original Cave Mansion had been taken by a senior brother.
Fortunately, due to many years of wandering outside, he carried all his possessions with him and had no disciples under him, so he hadn't lost anything.
