  Tian breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

  Lu Xueqi was after all a meticulous person, and after a moment of contemplation, she looked at Tian Nanyi and said: "Tian Shu Shu, your earlier words meant that he... can return to Qingyun?"

  Tian let out a snort and said: "Ten years ago, the truth was revealed on Qingyun Mountain, Old Seventh left, after that I thought about it repeatedly.

  But he only felt that there was nothing wrong with Lao Qi in the middle, and he didn't do anything wrong. As a result, Qingyun unexpectedly came out of nowhere, and it was all because of some misunderstanding. In his lifetime, he had only accepted seven apprentices, each of whom was not talented, but if someone asked him to simply pretend that nothing had happened, to ignore the fact that he had taken this disciple, and to wash his hands of the matter, it was absolutely impossible."

  Lu Xueqi was like a person who had been in the dark for a long time, and suddenly saw that there was a faint light in front of her, at this moment she was both surprised and delighted.

  Tian Bu Yi said, "I also know that if this matter is really done, I'm afraid there will be even more twists and turns. But over the past decade, I've been keeping an eye on Lao Qi, and it seems that he still has a conscience, and hasn't been known to do anything that harms others or goes against reason."

  Lu Xueqi hastily said: "That's right, I've also noticed it before, but I've never heard that he had any misdeeds after joining the demonic sect..." As she spoke, she found Tian Bu Yi looking at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, and her face flushed red, her voice gradually becoming softer.

  Tian nodded slightly and said, "You can be considered a kind-hearted person. These past ten years have not been easy for you either."

  Lu Xueqi was silent.

  Tian coughed a few times, seemingly short of breath, and then said: "In short, as long as he still acknowledges me as his master, then his affairs are not...". He glanced at Lu Xueqi with a smile, saying: "Your affairs, I will always have to take care of."

  Lu Xueqi gently bit her lip with her teeth, and after a moment, she slightly lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Disciple thanks Master Shu."

  The field nodded slightly, but then couldn't help coughing for a while. It seemed that the sudden conversation just now had made him excited and tired at the same time. The faint black air on his face also seemed to have thickened a bit.

  Lu Xueqi couldn't help but feel a little worried and said: "Master Tian, you'd better not talk too much for now, just take care of yourself first."

  As she spoke, she looked up at the sky and said: "I think this weather will last for no more than two hours before dawn breaks. At that time, I'll hurry back to Qingyun Mountain to inform Master and Shu Ru."

  Tian nodded slightly and closed his eyes again.

  Lu Xueqi took a deep breath, calming the turmoil in her heart, and closed her eyes. However, at the same time, a faint smile still lingered on the corners of her mouth.

  That tiny happiness and smile that belongs only to her!

  In the distant sky, a faint star peeked out from behind thick clouds, like a young girl's innocent eyes. Later, the wind blew by and a wisp of dark cloud floated over, covering it up once again.

  Under the colorful clouds, two rays of light flashed across the sky, heading in this direction.

  ※※※

  Monday Fairy took Xiao Huan and Ye Gou Dao Ren hastily leaving the abandoned orphanage that was unlucky for them, walking towards the main road. Zhou Yi Xian Lao was old, but at this moment his footsteps were actually much faster than those of young men, Xiao Huan and Ye Gou Dao Ren even had some difficulty keeping up with him.

  After walking for a long time, the big road ahead finally became clear. Little Huan panted slightly and scolded: "Grandpa, aren't you tired? Why are you walking so fast?"

  Monday Fairy looked ahead at the big road not far away, then turned back to glance in the direction of the Yizhuang that had long since disappeared from view. Only then did she let out a breath and stop in her tracks, saying: "You understand what we've been through this time - we're really lucky to be alive, escaping death by a hair's breadth. If you still don't know what's good for you, it would be best to keep your distance from Yizhuang, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

  Xiao Huan paused for a moment, recalling the experiences of the past few days in that righteous village. Especially when thinking about that mysterious and eerie person, he indeed felt a lingering fear, shook his head and said: "Unexpectedly, right at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, there is actually such a formidable evil Daoist."

  Zhou Yi Xian suddenly let out a cold laugh and said: "If it weren't for being under the Qingyun Mountain, you wouldn't be able to see it!"

  Xiao Huan and the wild dog standing beside him were both stunned, saying: "What?"

  On Monday, Xian's eyebrows furrowed as if he had thought of something. Realizing his mistake, he glanced around and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let's leave this place quickly and enter the city early. Once we're in a crowded area, we won't have to worry."

  Xiao Huan looked at Zhou Yi Xian with some curiosity, but Zhou Yi Xian ignored her and walked ahead. Xiao Huan quickened her pace to catch up to Zhou Yi Xian's side, just as she was about to ask a question, Zhou Yi Xian suddenly coughed and looked up at the sky, saying: "Xiao Huan, don't you think tonight's night sky is quite nice..."

  Xiao Huan glared at him and said: "On a night as dark and windy as this, with such a gloomy atmosphere, you actually dare to say the night is beautiful?"

  On Monday, Xiāngān smiled twice and walked a few more steps forward. Xiaohuan looked at Grandpa's back with suspicion in her eyes, feeling that Xiāngān was not telling the whole truth.

  Three people were walking here when suddenly a gust of wind swept past from behind, and a black shadow quickly appeared from the direction behind them.

  Came running up.

  Zhouyi Xian, Xiaohuan and Yegou Dao Ren were all shocked. For a moment, the same thought arose in their minds: Could it be that the demon had already caught up with them in such a short period of time?

  The three of them turned around to look, but were stunned. The approaching person was indeed wearing all black, but it wasn't that mysterious and eerie figure shrouded in dark energy, rather it was the mysterious black-robed warlock they had seen not long ago.

  The witch naturally also saw the three old and young people, but he didn't care about it. When passing by them, his speed didn't slow down at all, obviously wanting to leave this place as soon as possible. Just when he was about to pass by, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him, shouting: "Wait."

  The witch paused, her body twisting in mid-air, and stopped in her tracks. She turned back to look, but saw that two of the three men had looks of surprise on their faces as they stared at the girl standing between them, who also seemed stunned for a moment, unable to speak.

  The witch glanced up and down at Xiaohuan and said, "Miss, was it you who called me?"

  Xiao Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

  "What's wrong?"

  Xiao Huan was taken aback for a moment, earlier she had suddenly called out to stop this man in black, not for anything else, but just because of her subconscious feeling that the clothes on his body were too similar to those of her mysterious Shifu whom she had only seen twice. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had vastly different auras, Wu Yao wouldn't have mistaken him for Ghost Master with his unique and eerie ghostly aura, Xiao Huan almost blurted out "Shifu".

  Just as the witch asked this, Xiaohuan was at a loss for words and hesitated for a moment before asking somewhat awkwardly: "Ah... excuse me, sir, do you perhaps know another person who wears exactly the same clothes as you?"

  The witch shook her head and said, "I don't know."

  Xiao Huan furrowed her brow, wanting to speak again, but Zhou Yixian pulled her back heavily and placed her behind him. He smiled at the black-robed witch and said, "This gentleman, the little girl doesn't understand things, don't mind her."

  As he spoke, he glared at Xiaohuan fiercely and pulled her away. The wild dog Taoist quickly followed them. Xiaohuan looked a bit embarrassed, but still stubbornly said: "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

  Xian hummed on Monday and said, "Are you looking for trouble?"

  The little ring's voice faded away, and he quietly turned his head to glance at the witch, only to see that the black-robed man was still standing in place. He couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Yixian again: "But they really look too similar..."

  On Monday, Xian lazily tidied her up and held her even tighter, striding towards the distant highway. As the three people walked further away, the wind seemed to carry a few murmurs from Xiaohuan, leaving Wu Yao feeling somewhat perplexed for a moment. After a while, he seemed to have let out a bitter laugh, shook his head, and turned around to leave.

  He had just slightly moved his body, but suddenly he quickly turned back, facing the direction of the abandoned temple where he came from, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, staring tightly without letting go.

  Along his line of sight, in the distant sky, two shadows could be vaguely seen chasing each other, rushing towards that righteous village.

  The witch hesitated for a moment, but eventually dispelled her curiosity, shook her head and floated away.

  In his intuition, that righteous village was not a good place to go, it's better not to go!

  ※※※

  At this moment, the abandoned temple was still shrouded in silence. Lu Xueqi slowly opened her eyes and gazed around with clear and bright eyes, seeing that everything around her was quiet and there was nothing unusual, only then did she put her mind at ease.

  The field was still the same as before, with him sitting cross-legged on the stone steps with his eyes closed. From time to time, the night wind blew gently by, but for some reason, it couldn't blow open his clothes, as if all the winds had bypassed his body.

  Lu Xueqi suddenly had a movement in her heart, as if she was thinking of something, and seemed to have thought of something strange. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but her gaze fell on Tian Buyi's body. After looking for a while, the puzzled look in her eyes became heavier and heavier.

  From the moment she had just rescued Tian Naiyi from that confined coffin, Lu Xueqi realized that this long-unseen Dazhu Fengtian Shu was much fatter than he was in her memory. His facial features hadn't changed, but his short and stout body seemed to have expanded by two sizes, making the clothes on him appear somewhat tight.

  It's just that, for some reason, although Tian Naiyi seemed to have come back to life, Lu Xueqi always felt that there was something not quite right about his resurrection, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. She couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart. Although she had used the profound heavenly book's mysterious method of Daoist magic to break through the coffin's seal, in their brief exchange, she was shocked by the strange and eerie power that had been binding Tian Naiyi, which was far beyond anything she had ever seen before.

  At this point, Lu Xueqi felt that she should still ask Tian Nanyi for clarification, and with her mind made up, she turned around, just about to

  Just as he was about to speak, Tian Bu Yi, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His eyes gleamed brightly, but instead of looking at Lu Xue Qi beside him, his face twisted slightly as he stared at the dark night sky that seemed like a deep pool of ink.

  Lu Xueqi's heart skipped a beat as she stood up and looked around, and after a moment, her body also shook.

  A dark figure descended from the pitch-black sky, flying down like a swift wind and lightning, surrounded by a mass of black air. Before it even arrived, that surging demonic power seemed to have already come crashing forth.

  Tian slowly stood up.

  Lu Xueqi felt a little dry in her mouth and whispered: "Is it him?"

  Tian nodded slowly and said in a low voice: "It was him."

  Lu Xueqi's gaze never left the black shadow, she just let out a soft sigh and didn't speak again. Only the Tianyao in her hand, with its shimmering light, quietly flashed brightly.

  "Ah!"

  A whistling sound in the wind, a black shadow descended from the sky and landed inside the Yi Manor. Immediately after, it saw Tian Bu Yi and Lu Xue Qi standing at the entrance of the abandoned house. It seemed to be stunned for a moment, but there was no fear in its eyes. After a brief moment, it instead let out a strange laughter that sounded like "tsk tsk".

  Lu Xueqi fixed her gaze, but all she saw was that the person's entire body was shrouded in a thick, churning black aura, making it impossible to discern his figure or features. Yet, just from the few bursts of laughter he had let out earlier, she couldn't help but feel that this voice was utterly unlike the gentle and solemn tone of her impression of their sect's leader, Shifu.

  That mysterious person glanced at Tian Buyi and Lu Xueqi a few times, finally looking at the Tianyue in Lu Xueqi's hand, and suddenly said: "Was it her who saved you?"

  Tian didn't respond, but instead took a closer look at the mysterious person shrouded in black aura, his eyes filled with anger, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

  Lu Xueqi's face was expressionless, but she also took two steps in another direction, and for a moment, she and Tian Naye formed a triangular formation with that mysterious figure.

  The fields are not easy to cultivate, and the Taoist path is not something that needs to be said. It's just Lu Xueqi, with her current level of cultivation, who can proudly look around the world. However, that mysterious figure seemed extremely arrogant, and didn't even put them in his eyes, instead bursting out laughing. The laughter was hoarse and low, echoing in this abandoned temple on a quiet night, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

  "Tian Bu Yi, dare you still fight with me?"

  Tian Bu Yi's expression turned solemn as he said, "You have fallen deeply into demonic possession; I can only resort to battle."

  That person sneered a few times and said: "You say I'm possessed by a demon, how do you know it's not that you can't see through yourself?"

  Tian Bu Yi's right hand rose, and in an instant, a brilliant light flashed, his treasure, the Red Flame, was already in his hand, burning like a flame between his fingers. He spoke word by word: "This 'Mysterious Yin Ghost Qi' of yours has harmed countless innocent lives and lonely wandering souls, what else do you have to say?"

  "When the four words 'Xuān Yīn Guǐ Qì' reached Lù Xuě Qí's ears, she couldn't help but change color slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her face. As far as she knew, this strange and evil technique called Xuān Yīn Guǐ Qì was not a divine ability of the demonic sect, but rather an ancient ghostly art that had been lost for many years, relying on witchcraft to absorb the vital energy of living people and the ghostly energy of spirits, making it imaginable how sinister it was."

  It's really unbelievable that such a bizarre and eerie magic would appear on this person in front of me!

  That mysterious person's body surged with a wave of black air, and from it came several cold laughs. It seemed as if he was about to say something, but stopped instead, slightly turned around, and gazed towards the sky in the distance.

  Tian Bu Yi and Lu Xue Qi also sensed something and looked back, their faces slightly changing.

  In mid-air, a figure descended from above with a thunderous crash. The momentum was like lightning; the wind arrived before the person did. On the ground, smaller rocks had already begun to roll slowly, such was the power of this person's cultivation.

  That night, the righteous manor was unexpectedly a gathering of heroes, with people from all sides rushing to arrive.

  But life is full of twists and turns after coincidence.

  "Hiss!"

  Unlike that mysterious figure, although he came with a loud noise, this person landed lightly, only making a sharp whistling sound as he broke through the original silence of the air, and when he landed on the ground, he quietly turned around in a semicircle before standing still without much noise, turning his head to look at the scene.

  But he was stunned for a moment afterwards.

  Lu Xueqi was stunned.

  Tian Ye was also stunned.

  It was as if a surge of hot blood had suddenly ignited in his chest, and Gui Li's body involuntarily swayed slightly. In front of him, within a zhang of where he stood, a short and stout man with a somewhat pale complexion and an oddly swollen physique was standing there. Nevertheless, Gui Li still recognized him at first glance...

  That is the one who raised him from a young age and taught him his skills, he is the most revered mentor of his life!

  He slightly opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound. For ten years, it seemed like there were thousands of words in his belly, but at this moment, they all turned into silence.

  Tian Bu Yi gazed deeply at Gui Lie, no, who cares about that damned Gui Lie, the person he was looking at was just his seventh useless disciple, Zhang Xiao Fan.

  It's been ten years since they last met, and the young man from back then was no longer young. Even his temples had a faintly visible white hair, so he must have had a very hard time over the past decade. Tian Naiyi wasn't someone who hadn't thought about having the opportunity to meet this disciple who had risen to fame again. He had even thought of scolding him in person and then sincerely teaching him, hoping that he could turn back.

  It's just that at this moment, perhaps he has truly grown old. The words of rebuke he had thought of before, he couldn't utter a single one. His slightly trembling lips ultimately transformed into a faint smile, and then he softly called out:

  "Old Seven!"

  In Gui Li's mind, a loud and clear sound was heard. These two simple words seemed to have instantly shattered all the walls he had built around his heart. Everything from the past appeared vividly before him. On the lush and beautiful Da Zhu Peak, the rustling of bamboo leaves sounded like waves coming one after another.

  He stood aghast, his body trembling slightly, and even the little monkey Huihui on his shoulder was unusually silent. The scorching feeling in his throat, however, brought back a warmth he hadn't felt in years, a memory that was once his most treasured.

  At this moment, that person is standing there, calling out to him.

  "Master!"

  In an instant, he was like a return to the past, that ordinary teenager who didn't care about anything, for that excitement burning in his chest like fire, he shouted out loud.

  There were tears in her eyes.

  Flicker quietly.
