Qingyun Mountain Tongtian Peak, on the Yuqing Palace.
This majestic and tall palace located on the top of a majestic peak is the residence of the masters of the Qingyun Sect in the past. The largest Yuqing Hall is where the master handles the daily affairs of the sect.
After the war between good and evil, Qingyun Mountain was in a mess. There were so many things that needed to be solved urgently. The leader, Tian Chengzi, was seriously injured and could not manage. Many of the highly respected Qingyun elders in the past were seriously injured, such as Zhen Yu, Zheng Tong and others.
Instead of coming to deal with the chores in the door, all the burdens were placed on the man sitting in the Yuqing Hall at the moment.
At this moment, there was a long queue in the Yuqing Hall. Dozens of Qingyun Sect disciples were waiting here. They stepped forward one by one to report to Daoxuan sitting in the center of the hall in a low voice, ask for instructions, discuss, and then responded to Daoxuan.
After making arrangements, he turned around and strode out of the hall.
Daoxuan was sitting on the chair, with a solemn expression and a serious expression. From a distance, he seemed to have a somewhat calm and powerful aura. Although in terms of seniority, most of the people in the hall at this moment were considered to be of the same generation as him, but
But no one dared to look down upon him, and everyone lined up to come forward honestly.
And Daoxuan is obviously a very skilled and shrewd person in handling the affairs of these sects. Each trivial matter may seem difficult to deal with, but he often makes a decision within a few moments of deep thinking.
Such a quiet but extremely efficient method quickly reduced the number of Qingyun disciples in the hall, and it didn't take long for them to see the end. Just as Daoxuan was about to call the last person, he suddenly saw a person hurriedly walking in from the gate.
The person, however, was Shuiyue from Xiaozhu Peak. She quickly walked up to him and called out, "Senior Brother Daoxuan."
Daoxuan looked up at Shuiyue and said, "What's wrong?"
Shuiyue said: "Two groups of people have arrived at the foot of the mountain. They should be people from Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley."
Daoxuan was startled, then stood up and said: "When the two major sects heard the news, they came to support our Qingyun Sect. This matter is quite big, and maybe the leaders of the two sects will come in person. I will immediately report to Master, please
He said, Junior Sister Shuiyue, please and Uncle Zhenyu entertain them first."
Shuiyue nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Dao Xuan nodded, turned around and walked quickly into the back hall of Yuqing Hall, bypassing the entrance corridor and arriving outside the quiet room where Tian Chengzi rested. However, when he was still about ten feet away, Dao Xuan suddenly
I saw that the door of the quiet room was actually open, and there was a figure who was not Tian Chengzi walking back and forth inside.
Dao Xuan was shocked. He quickly walked to the door of the quiet room and looked inside. He saw that there was only a Taoist boy in the quiet room who was cleaning up the room. The quiet room was in a mess at the moment. The bed where Tian Chengzi was originally lying on
The bedding was thrown aside, and a lot of other things were thrown on the floor, as if someone had lost their temper.
The young Taoist boy had a depressed look on his face, silently squatting on the ground and tidying up. His eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just cried.
Daoxuan naturally recognized this person. He was Baishi, a Taoist boy who usually served his master Tianchengzi here. Seeing that something was wrong at this moment, he couldn't help but said to Baishi in shock: "Baishi, what happened here?"
Shiraishi turned around and saw that it was Daoxuan. He quickly stood up and stood with his hands tied up in an orderly manner. He was obviously in awe of this senior brother.
Daoxuan walked in, glanced around, frowned, and said to Baishi: "What happened here, and where did the master go?"
Baishi flattened his mouth, and after a while he whispered: "I...I used to come in and clean the house as per my daily routine, but when the master saw me, he suddenly lost his temper, jumped up and cursed
He gave me a meal and said that I had disturbed his Qing Dynasty, which was a heinous crime. He also said that..."
Daoxuan whispered: "Master, what else did he say?"
Bai Shi finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and cried out with a choked voice: "Senior Brother Daoxuan, the master of the sect also said that... he wanted to drive me down the mountain and out of the Qingyun Gate.
."
Daoxuan was shocked and looked at Baishi in astonishment, as if he didn't believe his ears, but Baishi's expression was obviously not lying. At this moment, he was looking at Daoxuan with tears in his eyes and choked up: "Brother, I should
What should I do? I really didn’t mean to offend the master."
Daoxuan was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, I will plead with Master for you on this matter."
Baishi quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, senior brother. Thank you, senior brother."
Daoxuan sighed, leaned over and gently pulled him up. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Well, don't do anything in the Yuqing Palace for the next few days. Go to Yunhai to live for a few days and then come back.
I think Master probably just said it out of anger, so I'll help you talk about it, and if you just avoid it for a few days, you should be fine."
Bai Shi quickly nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, yes, I understand."
Daoxuan sighed, glanced at the messy bedding on the bed, frowned, and said, "By the way, do you know where Master is now?"
Baishi thought for a while and said: "I was so scared that I knelt on the ground just now. I didn't dare to take a breath. I didn't see where Master went. However, I heard him say something, saying that it was too noisy here.
, delaying his practice, so he has to go to the ancestor’s ancestral hall to take a good rest.”
Daoxuan was startled, frowned and said, "He went to the ancestor's ancestral hall?"
Bai Shi glanced at him carefully and whispered: "That's what I heard."
Daoxuan nodded slowly, and then waved his hand gently. Baishi quickly bent down to salute, and then quickly walked out of the quiet room.
The quiet room where only Daoxuan was left seemed to suddenly become quiet. There was no sound around him. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. He stood alone in the quiet room, looking around, his expression gradually changing.
He was solemn and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang flew all the way back to Cao Xie Village to meet up with Wan Jianyi and others waiting in the village. At the same time, they also discovered that Wan Jianyi, Cangsong, and Shang Zhengliang would use this time to work together to defeat the enemy here.
The bodies of the villagers who unfortunately died in the catastrophe were found one by one, and then they found a bright and transparent flat outside the village, dug out some simple graves, and buried them one by one.
When Tian and Zeng came back, Wan Jianyi and others had not finished the last bit. Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang hurriedly stepped forward to help. With the joint efforts of the five Qingyun Sect disciples, they finally saved all the villagers who had unfortunately died.
The burial is completed.
After the incident, the five people stood beside the rows of newly raised mounds, their expressions a bit heavy and solemn.
After Wan Jianyi gazed at these mounds for a moment, he sighed softly and said, "The folks are buried in peace, let's go too."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away. Cangsong, Tian Buyi and others also silently came forward, bowed to the tombs, and then followed in Wan Jianyi's footsteps.
After leaving Straw Shoe Village, they headed northwest. On the way, they also saw many villages similar to Straw Shoe Village that had been plundered by demons from the Demon Cult. The situation was also the same miserable situation, but they did not encounter it again in the following days.
Villagers who are as lucky as the Zhang family. Perhaps the villagers who originally lived in those villages either died under the knife of the Demon Cult, or they left far away to avoid disaster.
During this period, the five of them also saw many remnants of the demon sect wandering around. However, in order to go deep into the wilderness as soon as possible and avoid trouble, Wan Jianyi and others mostly avoided these demons and walked northwest in silence.
.
After walking like this for three days, I felt that the surrounding environment began to change. The fertile, rich and pleasant plains gradually disappeared and were replaced by large tracts of yellow land. The moist and mild air also changed and became dry. Here we are.
On the fourth day, the original plain scenery was basically no longer visible. The sky and the earth were desolate, with piles of rocks and cracked loess. From time to time, strong winds blew through, blowing up large tracts of yellow sand.
In this desert land, it is difficult to see green things anymore. Although there are plants and trees, most of them are yellow in color. The scorching sun is shining in the sky, and the sunlight is shining down. Somehow, it makes people walking on this desert feel...
Somewhat chilly.
Wan Jian and the other five disciples of the Qingyun Sect are all righteous, so naturally they are not afraid of this bad weather. However, when they walk here and look at the scenery, they roughly know that they are almost close to the legendary place that has never been in Middle-earth.
Righteous people have penetrated deep into the wild frontier.
Once here, Wan Jianyi and others became more cautious in their actions, sometimes not even walking together.
Under Wan Jianyi's arrangement, the five people formed groups of three or two, or dispersed separately, keeping a certain distance. At the same time, they paid close attention to the surrounding movements and continued to approach the wild border.
At noon that day, after walking for half a day, Wan Jianyi called several junior brothers to come over. The five of them found a small stone forest with strange rocks to rest. Firstly, they could avoid the prying eyes of outsiders. Secondly, these unexpected things
The strange rocks can also block some of the scorching sunlight, making people feel more comfortable.
After sitting down to rest, Uncle Zeng often took out the gourd he carried with him, filled it with clean water, took a big sip, and then handed it to Tian Buyi beside him. At the same time, he complained: "This desert is so bad after that. I heard that the barbaric wilderness is so bad."
The land is ten times more desolate than here, how on earth can those demon cult monsters survive in that kind of place?"
Cangsong, who was standing aside, glanced coldly at Zeng Shuchang who was complaining, shook his head, turned to look at Wan Jianyi who was sitting on a big rock not far away, and said: "Brother Wan, there is something strange along the way, especially when entering.
Since this desert, we have never encountered any remnants of the demon sect."
Wan Jianyi nodded slowly, frowning slightly, and seemed to be a little confused about this. Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up and whispered: "Silence!" (Not finished yet!
