Phoenix Mountain is more than a thousand miles away from the ancient city, and at the speed of a wind boat, it can be reached in less than two hours.
It is worth mentioning that as the northernmost city of the original Yan Kingdom, the importance of Guque City is self-evident.
Due to the city's unique geographical location, it is not only a strategic location, but also has a huge number of monks passing through it every day. It is also a cornucopia.
Holding Guque City in your hands is tantamount to having a new source of wealth, which is extremely important even for a large sect like Yuanyang Sect.
Therefore, the five sects of Chu State were unwilling to let this city fall into the hands of the other party.
Therefore, no one can take advantage after a confrontation, and they can only compromise with each other, and the five sects are jointly in charge.
Otherwise, none of the five sects can trust each other.
As the foundation of Baiyun Temple, Yunxiao Mountain is also the same.
Its grade is as high as the fourth-grade mid-grade. Obtaining any one of the three sects can greatly strengthen the foundation, and no one wants to fall into the hands of the other party.
In the end, an agreement could only be reached, with Yuanyang Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Waning Moon Valley jointly taking charge.
…
The sun was suspended in the middle of the sky, and a dark escaping light came from the sky.
If you look closely, you will see that this is a finely crafted black boat with five figures on the cabin and deck.
It was Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin, and two maids.
Looking at this ancient fairy city, seeing that the destination had been reached, Liu Yu changed his magic skills and controlled the escape boat to land not far from the city gate.
Several people got off the boat one after another, but before they could put away their magical weapons, a monk came up to them.
This person has a delicate appearance, fair skin, is over eight feet tall, and is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Who is Yan Kai who returned to Guque City to recuperate if he was not seriously injured?
"Hahaha, welcome to Senior Brother Liu."
"I've been waiting here since the next morning. Finally, I'm waiting for my senior brother to arrive!"
Yan Kai, who was wearing a white robe, walked closer, cupped his hands heavily, and said enthusiastically.
"Junior Brother Yan can just wait in the mansion, why bother with so much trouble?"
"When Liu arrives, he will pay a visit."
Liu Yu smiled slightly.
While speaking, he looked at Yan Kai calmly, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
After not seeing each other for just five or six years, Junior Brother Yan's cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, and he looks good, and his injuries should not be serious.
He was wandering on the edge of life and death, but he turned bad luck into good fortune and became a blessing in disguise. This boy is really lucky.
While exchanging pleasantries, Liu Yu secretly sighed in her heart.
"Congratulations, junior brother, for making a further step in your cultivation. You can look forward to the great path."
He casually put the Dunfengzhou into his storage bag and said with a smile.
"What the hell, how can this small improvement be compared with that of my senior brother?"
"Senior brother, I would never dare to take such words to my face as saying that the great road can be expected."
"Senior brother has come all the way, why don't you come to my house and let me entertain you?"
"Guque City has changed a lot in the past few years. Senior Brother Liu might as well stay for some time and experience the excitement of the Immortal City?"
In response to Liu Yu's praise, Yan Kailian did not dare to speak, and his attitude was very humble, and then he warmly invited him.
"No need."
"This fairy city is lively. Liu has seen enough in Xianque City, so he won't join in the fun."
"I haven't returned to the sect for several years, but I have accumulated a lot of things, so I'd better rush back to deal with them first."
Liu Yu shook his head slightly, then walked past Yan Kai towards the city gate.
Seeing that the proposal was rejected, Yan Kai was not upset and continued while keeping up:
"That's just right. I'll go back with my senior brother."
"Anyway, some common things in the cave are not worth a few spiritual stones, and the deadline given by the sect is coming soon."
He also benefited a lot from the battle to destroy Yan, and he knew the importance of relationships.
I thought that the relationship between me and Liu Yu might be estranged after not returning to the team for a long time, so I wanted to get closer to Liu Yu, at least not to get too estranged.
Although he is already in the foundation building stage, if it doesn't matter, it will be quite difficult in the sect.
Liu Yu could probably guess what this son was thinking.
However, he didn't act too aggressively, but kept a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Yan Kai has narrowly escaped death many times. He is very optimistic about this son's future, so it would be good to maintain good contact with him. He can also give him a hand.
But if you want to get a lot of help from yourself, you are just thinking too much.
Liu Yu took out the sect token to identify himself, and was easily let through by the monks guarding the city, with almost no serious inspection.
It can be clearly felt that with the disappearance of the name of the Yan Kingdom and the destruction of the four sects of the Yan Kingdom, the guard of Guque City has been relaxed.
But come to think of it.
Being at the gateway of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, the biggest threats are undoubtedly the internal troubles of the four sects of the Yan Kingdom, as well as the external troubles of good and evil.
At present, the internal worries have been eliminated, and the external threats have not taken the opportunity to add insult to injury. After everything is calmed down, the possibility of further attacks will be very small.
Maintaining a high degree of martial law is very unfavorable for earning spiritual stones, and it also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.
Therefore, after the dust has basically settled, it is logical to lift martial law.
Entering the ancient city again, Liu Yu turned around and looked around, taking in everything around him.
The streets were busy with traffic, monks of all kinds were everywhere, and the sounds of selling goods were endless. The shops on both sides were busy with people coming and going.
Shouting, shouting, quarreling, and all kinds of sounds came and went.
"Time is indeed the greatest force in the world."
Looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, Liu Yu sighed slightly.
Now eight years have passed, the trauma caused by the five sects of Chu State's forcible attack on this city, and the traces left by the magic weapon, have completely disappeared, and there is no trace of it anymore.
It seems that the war has faded away, and that thrilling night only exists in the memories of some monks.
Sometimes when I think about it, I can only remain silent.
Without stopping along the way, Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui, Yan Kai, Leng Yuexin and the two maids quickly arrived at the Teleportation Hall.
Five years have passed, and the teleportation hall has expanded a lot. Several teleportation rooms have been added, but I don't know where they are connected.
Liu Yu found the person in charge of the teleportation hall, took out the sect token, and expressed that he wanted to use the teleportation array to bring the Yuanyang Sect into full play.
This time is different from the last time. Because you are returning to the sect after completing the sect's mission, and it is still during the mission, the expenses for returning will be reimbursed by the sect.
The five major sects are jointly in charge of Guque City. All those who return to Chu State after completing their tasks will have their fees waived, but only for monks above the foundation building stage.
A teleportation costs a lot of spiritual stones. If all the Qi Refining Stage disciples are included, the burden will be considerable even for the five major sects.
After the inspection, Liu Yu and the others were able to successfully reduce their fees.
However, the two maids Yingge Yanwu are his personal property and are not included in the list.
Therefore, he still had to pay for the spiritual stones of the two women himself. There was no loophole to exploit.
After a while, six people stood in the center of the teleportation array.
With the insertion of the "Escape Stone" and the spiritual stone in place, the teleportation array was successfully opened, waves of inexplicable fluctuations began to spread, and the formation lines under the feet lit up with spiritual light and gradually became stronger.
When the inexplicable fluctuation reaches a peak, the aura reaches its most dazzling level, and the teleportation array has been activated.
In an instant, a dazzling brilliance shone, and the aura in the room became chaotic.
When the spiritual light dimmed, there were no more people on the teleportation array.
…
Chu State, Yuanyang Sect.
Qingtai Peak, Teleportation Hall.
A violent wave of spiritual energy came, and a certain teleportation array in the hall suddenly shone with a dazzling spiritual light. This was a sign that a monk had teleported here.
The monks on duty recognized that this was the teleportation array that connected to the ancient city, and they began to speculate as to which of their fellow disciples had returned after completing the mission.
When the spiritual light dimmed and the faces of the monks in the teleportation array were truly seen clearly, many monks looked shocked!
Qingyangzi!
Liu Yu is now more or less a well-known figure among the low-level monks of the sect.
When he became the leader of the Qingfeng team, he began to rise to prominence, defeating and killing many well-known foundation-building monks in the Yan Kingdom, and achieving many impressive results.
Of course, what the Yuanyang Sect monks talk about the most is the victory over Hehuan Sect Zhuo Mengzhen, which made many monks secretly happy after hearing it.
According to rumors, Hehuan Meng Zhuo Meng was really aggressive, and Senior Brother Qingyangzi was forced to fight against him.
However, the opponent was prepared rather than taking it easy. Therefore, after the fight, Senior Brother Qingyangzi was suppressed and was at an absolute disadvantage. However, for the sake of the glory of the sect, he fought hard to face the enemy and was in dangerous situations several times, but in the end he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Finally, after fighting for a day and a night, they finally won the battle with great difficulty, without losing the sect's prestige.
I have to say that this is a very inspirational but very crude story, but there are really some monks who listen to it with gusto.
Of course, some "cold-blooded" and "cruel" misdeeds also spread.
After five years of fermentation, his reputation within the Yuanyang Sect has improved a lot again, but it is not all a good reputation.
When the teleportation array was activated, Liu Yu's eyesight went slightly dark. When he regained consciousness again, he was already in the teleportation hall of Qingtaifeng.
Since the physical body has been strengthened a lot again, the side effects of riding the teleportation array this time are minimal and can be suppressed by force.
He only felt slightly dizzy, but recovered quickly.
In comparison, Jiang Qiushui, Yan Kai, and Leng Yuexin were in much worse condition, not to mention the two maids Yingge Yanwu.
Their bodies were far inferior to Liu Yu's, and their riding experience was not rich, so their symptoms were very obvious and they did not recover for a long time.
Especially the two maids, whose cultivation was not at the advanced stage of Qi refining. If Liu Yu hadn't reacted and used magic to hold them up, they would have almost collapsed to the ground and made a fool of themselves in public.
This is still protected by the "Teleport Talisman".
The Yan Kingdom is more than 100,000 miles away from the Chu Kingdom, and the pressure of the power of space during the transmission process is already considerable. Even the foundation-building monks cannot bear it.
Without the protection of the teleportation talisman, he would inevitably end up with physical collapse.
Liu Yu nodded slightly in response to the greetings from the monks in the temple, then ignored all the looks and quietly waited for the few people to recover.
It didn't take long for the three fellow disciples to recover. As for the two maids, they still had various discomforts, but they finally managed to regain their ability to move.
It was conveyed that people coming and going in the main hall should not stay for a long time, so Liu Yu led a few people to rest outside the hall.
After a while, Leng Yuexin's condition returned to its original state, she cupped her hands and said goodbye:
"Now that she has returned to the sect, Yue Xin also has some trivial matters to deal with, so let's just say goodbye."
"Farewell, I will definitely visit Senior Brother Qingyang and Junior Sister Jiang and Junior Brother Yan one day."
As she said that, she turned towards Jiang Qiushui and Yan Kai slightly arched her hands.
"We share the joys and sorrows together. Naturally, we want to get closer to each other more in the future and we cannot cut off contact."
"If junior sister encounters any difficulties in the future, just go to senior brother and Liu will help if he can."
"We welcome all junior brothers and sisters to come at any time."
Liu Yu didn't make excuses, but showed a gentle smile, cupped his hands and said.
Not to mention the training of disciples in the Qi refining stage, the few people in front of him are the team members he finally found, and he knows them well enough, so naturally he cannot alienate them in vain.
"Yue Xin understands that I will definitely come to visit you without any hesitation."
"Senior brother, if you have anything important to do, just give me the order."
"Farewell."
Leng Yuexin cupped her hands and said goodbye. Although her expression didn't change much, her tone was very sincere.
Then the woman took out the magic weapon and turned into a red light and disappeared away.
Looking at the retreating light in the distance, Liu Yu smiled. Wasn't this what he was waiting for?
Jiang Qiu Shui was not included. Among his fellow students, the ones he trusted more were Yan Kai and Leng Yuexin. The former had known each other for a long time and the latter was in a special situation.
"I believe that given this woman's special situation in the sect, she can still be trusted as long as she is driven by enough interests."
"After all, although the harvest this time is a lot, there will always be a time when it will be exhausted."
After Leng Yuexin left, Yan Kai also said goodbye and left, also agreeing to visit him in the future.
Attitude is the mask of the soul. The close attitude between two people undoubtedly shows some of their inner thoughts.
"My efforts to win over him finally paid off."
Thinking about this, Liu Yu was in a good mood.
Seeing that the two maids were almost recovered, he took out his escape boat and flew Jiang Qiushui and the two girls towards Cailian Mountain.
…
The black boat shuttled between the mountains, passing by cranes from time to time.
After nearly eight years, Jiang Qiushui was in a good mood when he saw the familiar scenery again.
She grabbed Liu Yu's hand, swayed and chattered, begging to slow down her flight so that she could enjoy the sect's beautiful scenery.
Having returned to the sect and not rushing into anything, Liu Yu agreed to the woman's request and slowed down her escape speed.
At the same time, he was also thinking, should Ji Ruyan and Jiang Qiushui meet now?
"That's all, let's see you tomorrow."
"Go back and tell Yifan Ruyan to give in and get along well with Junior Sister Jiang."
"I'll tell Junior Sister Jiang tomorrow about taking Ruyan as my concubine."
Listening to the whizzing sound of the Fengfeng boat piercing the sky, Liu Yu also had a headache when he suddenly thought of this question.
However, Ji Ruyan stayed at Cailian Mountain, and Jiang Qiushui came often because of business needs.
The former's loss of virginity will be discovered sooner or later, and these must be handled properly.
Putting his hands behind his hands and looking at the spiritual mountains of the sect in the distance, Liu Yu quickly made a decision and controlled the direction of the escape boat.
"This doesn't seem to be the direction to Cailian Mountain."
Jiang Qiushui, who was observing the surrounding scenery normally, soon discovered that her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
"Today's practice has not been completed yet. Junior sister returns to her cave first. We will meet again at Cailian Mountain tomorrow."
Facing the woman's gaze, Liu Yu said without changing her expression, without explaining too much.
"Senior brother."
Jiang Qiushui's red lips parted slightly, seemingly reluctantly.
But she suddenly thought of something, her expression was slightly sad, she looked away and said unnaturally:
Thanks to book friend JackM for the 1500 points reward!
PS: I modified it earlier, the two maids forgot to get on the bus.
