When we were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, a tender female voice suddenly came from the front.
A girl about ten years old ran up quickly with a straw basket on her back.
"Is it the second elder?" the girl asked with her eyes wide open.
"It's me." Taoist Tianji looked at the girl, his eyes lit up, and he was obviously very happy, and he smiled, "Xiaoxier, you have grown so old."
"Second Elder, you are finally back!" Xiao Xier raised her head and said, "Everyone misses you very much."
Taoist Tianji reached out to rub Xiao Xi'er's hair and said with a smile: "I did leave for a long time this time, but I promise I won't leave for so long again in the future."
"That's great! Senior brothers and sisters will be very happy!" Xiao Xi'er's eyes smiled like crescent moons.
Only then did she notice Fang Yu next to her.
"Second Elder, this big brother is..." Xiao Xier asked curiously at Fang Yu's strange clothes.
"Uh... his name is..." Taoist Tianji didn't know how to introduce Fang Yu for a moment.
"My name is Fang Yu." Fang Yu said.
"Brother Fang, are you the newly accepted apprentice of the Second Elder?" Xiao Xier blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"...Of course not." Tianji Taoist's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "He is... a friend of mine."
"Oh." Xiao Xier nodded and asked again, "Second Elder, where are you going?"
"I want to send him to Xilin Town." Tianji Taoist replied.
"Brother Fang is leaving now. Why don't you let me take Brother Fang to the town? Second Elder." Xiao Xier blinked again and said, "I know the way."
Taoist Tianji glanced at Fang Yu.
"This can really save time. You can go to your sect leader to report now." Fang Yu said.
"Okay... Xiaoxier, go and be careful." Taoist Tianji said.
"Okay!" Xiao Xier replied happily.
The Taoist of Heavenly Music returns the same way.
"Brother Fang, come with me." Xiao Xier took off the straw basket on her back and placed it on the side of the road, and then said with a smile.
"Okay." Fang Yu nodded.
Then the stream jumped down.
...
"Brother Fang, do you know why I am so happy?"
After walking for a while, Xiaoxier turned around and asked with her hands behind her back.
"I want to go shopping in the town." Fang Yu said with a smile.
"Ah...how did you guess?" Xiao Xier opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "I just wanted to walk around the town. Do you know that there is a little candy man sold by an old lady in the town..."
Xiao Xier has a very cheerful and innocent personality. Although she was not afraid when she saw Fang Yu for the first time, she was familiar with her and took the initiative to chat with Fang Yu.
This reminded Fang Yu of Ling'er back then.
When I first met Ling'er, Ling'er was not as old as Xiaoxier, but the two had similar personalities and were both familiar.
"Why are your name Xiaoxier?" Fang Yu asked.
"Because I was picked up by the Second Elder next to a stream... so I named it Xiaoxier." Xiaoxier replied with a smile, "Brother Fang, do you think my name sounds good?"
"It sounds nice." Fang Yu replied.
"I think it sounds nice, too." Xiao Xier turned around and jumped forward.
Fang Yu followed behind and walked slowly.
...
Three Tong Xuanmen, in the main hall of the sect.
"Thank you for your hard work, the second elder." The sect leader Deng Yang looked at the Taoist Tianji in front of him and spoke.
Taoist Tianji shook his head and said, "Master, I have only realized one truth when I traveled this time."
"What do you mean?" Dengyang asked.
"The Yuan Crystal... cannot be touched by people of our level." Taoist Tianji said in a deep voice.
"What did you see when you go to the lower plane?" Deng Yang asked with his eyes narrowed.
Taoist Tianji took a deep breath and recalled the scenes of the arrival of the will and plane laws of the Holy Academy, and there was still shock and fear in his eyes.
Then, he briefly told what he saw and heard on the earth.
Dengyang's face was also shocked after hearing this.
"The original source crystal has been targeted by an existence of that level..." Deng Yang said in disbelief.
"Yes, from beginning to end, I didn't even have a chance to get the source crystal." Taoist Tianji said in a deep voice.
Deng Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "But from the side, it also confirms my previous thoughts... The Yuan Crystal is indeed the reason for the glory of the human race! Otherwise, those levels of existence would not have gone through a lot of trouble, and even left their will to descend to the earth, they wanted to destroy the Yuan Crystal..."
"We can indeed think so, but the human race is still going downhill now, and glory is over." Taoist Tianji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We don't need to think about the Earth Source Crystal anymore. It's not an existence we can touch."
"It would be too wasteful." Deng Yang said.
"What's the waste?" Taoist Tianji frowned.
"A waste of the opportunity! Those big clans are likely not aware of what we know now!" Deng Yang said with a little excitement, "If the news spreads, I believe many big clans will not be able to hold back..."
"Sect Master, we don't have a chance. Yuan Jing has merged into Fang Yu's body." Taoist Tianji frowned and said, "I still want to take action against Fang Yu now, that's..."
"I didn't say we were fighting Fang Yu." Deng Yang narrowed his eyes, "I just said... the information we have is extremely valuable."
Taoist Tianji looked at Dengyang, his face changed slightly, and he guessed Dengyang's thoughts.
"Before, those big clans sent people to descend to the plane to find the source crystal and destroy the source crystal, they could not do it, and they were unwilling to spend such a great price to solve a small star body in the lower plane. But now... since the source crystal has been integrated into Fang Yu's body, Fang Yu... has come to the upper plane again and come to the Big Tianchen Star!" Deng Yang smiled on his face, "As long as Fang Yu is solved, the earth in the lower plane will be destroyed, which means that the human race's ancestral star has been destroyed!"
"In this way, no matter whether the Yuan Jing is really related to the glory of the human race... the human race's foundation is gone!"
"Those big clans who hate human races must want such an opportunity! And at present, only we have this information, we can take advantage of this..."
"Sect Master!"
Tianji Taoist's face was extremely serious and he interrupted Dengyang's words.
Dengyang's face changed slightly and he looked at the Taoist of Tianji.
"Sect Master, I did mention that Lao Yuanjing has integrated into Fang Yu's body... But I also mentioned that Fang Yu's fight against the will of the Holy Academy and the laws of planes. You cannot ignore such important information!" Tianji Taoist stared at Deng Yang and said sternly, "Even if you can get a great benefit, you cannot offend this person!"
"What you think now is to push the Santong Xuanmen into the abyss!"
"I firmly object to it!"
Dengyang looked at Taoist Tianji and frowned and said, "Second Elder, this is an opportunity to make our sect leap! If we can use this to hold the thighs of a big clan..."
"I'm sure that no one can protect us if he provoked Fang Yu." Taoist Tianji said firmly.
