After seizing the secret treasure, Mo Tian did not return to Tianyan Palace immediately. Instead, he found a place nearby to retreat, and only started to return after he had completely digested the inheritance.
As Mo Tian walked with his sword, he felt that the clouds and mist in the sky were refreshing.
This time at Longque Academy, he gained a lot. Not only did he receive the inheritance of the sword from a sword master, but it also allowed his cultivation to reach the half-step to the emperor realm.
Mo Tian spent three days with his sword and finally returned to Tianyan Palace.
As soon as he returned to the sect, he heard a disciple telling him that the sect leader had ordered him to go to the main hall as soon as he came back.
Mo Tian immediately went to the main hall. After entering the main hall, he saw a bearded old man playing chess.
This is the sect master of Tianyan Palace—Du Heng.
Du Heng stroked his beard, dropped a chess piece, and said without raising his head, "Back?"
Mo Tian raised his hand and saluted, "Yes."
Du Heng continued to ask: "What can you gain from going here?"
Just as Mo Tian was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that he should be sent back and replaced with another disciple.
But after he took the secret treasure and stayed outside for a long time, the sect leader must have known that he didn't listen to Qi Feng's words and went to Longque Academy without permission.
Seeing that Mo Tian was silent, Du Heng said to himself: "It seems that I have gained a lot, and now I am already halfway to the realm of emperor."
Mo Tian just lowered his eyes and responded, "Yes."
"Well." Du Heng didn't want to ask any more questions, "You can go back."
Mo Tian bowed and walked to his room.
Yan Zhuo's voice rang in Mo Tian's ears, "Boy Tian, since you have already entered the halfway stage of becoming emperor, you might as well go to the back mountain to get the Qinghong Sword tonight."
"Will you take it today?" Mo Tian licked his lips, a little eager to try.
This Qinghong Sword was left by the founding ancestor of Tianyan Palace. Although it is a broken sword, it contains the supreme sword intention. For thousands of years, many disciples of Tianyan Palace have tried to understand its meaning.
Sword intent, but all failed.
Mo Tian also tried, but failed. Although he could not understand the sword's intention, Yan Zhuo found a way to repair the sword. As soon as the materials were collected, Mo Tian took the Qinghong Sword away and found a place.
Repaired.
This Qinghong Sword is a supreme-grade weapon. There are no more than 20 supreme-grade weapons in the entire Northern Territory.
Mo Tian has been fascinated by weapons like this since Yan Zhuo said they could be repaired.
And after today, this sword will be yours!
The more Mo Tian thought about it, the happier he felt. With the Qinghong Sword, he no longer had to be afraid when he faced Lu Yuan in the future!
At night, Mo Tian wrapped himself in a black robe and went to the back mountain.
Sparing a few guarding disciples, Mo Tian easily entered the attic where the Qinghong Sword was placed.
"Creak——"
Mo Tian carefully pushed open the hidden compartment of the Qinghong Sword, and a broken sword appeared in front of his eyes.
The broken sword's body was already covered with rust, but the hilt was still spotless, with a faint trace of Tao Yun scattered around it.
...
At the other end of the Tianyan Palace, it was no longer as quiet as before. All the disciples rushed to the square in front of the main hall and stood up.
At the front of the square, the sect leader led several elders, neatly dressed, with serious faces, staring into the distance, as if they were waiting for some important person.
In the square, many people came here with their fellow disciples without knowing why, and they all lowered their heads and talked with each other at this moment.
"Is there something big going on tonight? Why are we gathered here so late?"
"I don't know! But the sect leader and the elders
We are all here, there must be something big going on!"
"I heard that a big shot is coming!"
When the others heard this, they all cast their eyes over, "What big shot?"
The man said: "I heard from senior brother that the person coming tonight is none other than the holy son of the Lu family, Lu Yuan, the first family of Xuhai in the north!"
"hiss!--"
Everyone who heard it took a breath of air. These disciples stayed in Tianyan Palace all year round. Even if they went out, it was difficult to meet any big shots. People from several aristocratic families in the north had only heard about it from other people's mouths. How had they ever heard of it?
I have really seen him before, let alone the holy son of the first family of Xuhai in the north!
Everyone's sleepy thoughts were suppressed and they began to look forward to it.
Many people stretched their necks and looked toward the mountain gate.
Not long after, a deafening roar came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw several celestial pythons and unicorns pulling a royal chariot over the clouds, followed by several strong men, all of whom had cultivation levels above the feudal lord realm.
"Roar!--"
The Heavenly Python Qilin roared low, stamped its hooves, and stopped firmly on the square.
Du Heng and several elders walked forward quickly, walked to the imperial chariot, and saluted respectfully.
"See His Royal Highness the Holy Son!"
Lu Yuan walked out of the chariot, followed by Xu Ruoling.
"Get up."
Lu Yuan looked indifferent, Du Heng and others stood up, bowed and made way to the side, "His Royal Highness, please come this way."
Lu Yuan held Xu Ruoling's hand and walked leisurely towards the main hall ahead.
Many people in the square saw Xu Ruoling following Lu Yuan.
"Why is Senior Sister Xu Ruoling next to Shengzi Lu?"
"Yes, didn't you say that Senior Sister Xu Ruoling went on a trip? She also said that she wouldn't be able to come back for more than ten years!"
"Lu Shengzi is holding senior sister's hand. Their relationship must be extraordinary!"
Lu Yuan naturally heard these words, his face was calm and calm, and he began to carefully recall the past in his heart.
It seemed that no one was present on the day the original owner abducted Xu Ruoling. It seemed that these ordinary disciples did not know that their senior sister Xu Ruoling was forcibly abducted by a member of his own family.
Fortunately, several elders of the sect made up excuses for traveling to explain Xu Ruoling's whereabouts.
Lu Yuan sat down at the main seat, and Xu Ruoling stood aside obediently.
Du Heng stood at the bottom, and several other important sect members followed, waiting for instructions.
Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that you have a disciple here named Mo Tian?"
Du Heng's heart skipped a beat. In fact, when someone from the Lu family came to report that the Holy Son of the Lu family was coming, he knew that Lu Yuan's trip must be related to Mo Tian.
When his junior brother Qi Feng came back from sending a message, he reported that there was a conflict between Mo Tian and Lu Yuan.
After several days, Mo Tian didn't come back, so Du Heng guessed that this kid must have secretly entered the secret realm again.
When Mo Tian came back, he called over to take a look. He had improved a lot in cultivation. He must have been blessed by Longque Academy.
I think Mo Tian took away the creation that belonged to Lu Yuan, which is why Lu Yuan came here in person. It seems that today's matter is not going to end well!
Du Heng took a step forward and replied: "His Royal Highness the Holy Son, there is indeed a disciple named Mo Tian in Tianyan Palace."
"That's good." Lu Yuan smiled faintly, "Then where is he now?"
Du Heng raised his sleeves and bowed respectfully, with his eyes lowered, "Reporting to Your Highness, Your Highness is here today. The disciples of Tianyan Palace are all here. Please wait a moment, Your Highness.
Just send someone to find him."
After saying that, Du Heng glanced at the elders around him and said, "Go and call Mo Tian."
Several elders agreed and left the main hall.
Lu Yuan was still drinking tea. After a while, several elders walked over quickly, looking a little panicked, "I'm telling you, Your Highness, this Mo Tian has gone missing!"
Before Lu Yuan could speak, Du Heng took the lead, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "What did you say?! Why is such a good person missing?!"
"We don't know either!"
The elders looked very innocent, "We searched all over the sect but couldn't find it. We went to the house where Mo Tian was, but no one was there. We also asked other disciples and they all said they didn't see it."
Du Heng scolded a few words angrily, turned around, bowed to Lu Yuan, and said loudly: "Your Highness, please punish us for our incompetence in our work!"
Several elders also apologized one after another.
Du Heng, who was hiding under his sleeves, showed a smile. He had already drawn a messenger talisman and told Mo Tian that Lu Yuan was coming and asked him to leave the sect quickly.
Counting the hours, Mo Tian had already left for half an hour, and even the Holy Son of the Lu family could not track him down.
Besides, he tried his best to look for her, but he couldn't find her, so he apologized, so the matter shouldn't have much to do with him.
How could Lu Yuan not know what Du Heng, an old fox, was thinking? He put down the tea cup and said, "So, Mo Tian is no longer in Tianyan Palace?"
"We have sent people to look for it again. Your Highness, why don't you wait for more news?"
Lu Yuan looked at Du Heng, who was pretending to be submissive, and cursed an old dog in his heart.
Tianyan Palace's willingness to spend an emperor's spell to save Mo Tian is enough to show Mo Tian's status in Du Heng's heart.
This old dog might have informed Mo Tian a long time ago and ran away, so he stayed here to delay time and let Mo Tian go further away.
Lu Yuan's right hand was slightly open, and the white light in his palm trembled slightly in a certain direction.
This kid didn't seem to have gone far. Looking at the light, it seemed that he had not left Tianyan Palace at all.
"No need to wait."
Lu Yuan stood up and walked out of the hall.
Du Heng secretly laughed a few times in his heart, wishing Lu Yuan to leave quickly, but he said: "Your Highness is leaving now? How many more days will he stay? The sect raises several dragon tail fish, the meat is plump, not as good as
Your Highness, will you stay for dinner?"
Lu Yuan paused, looked back at Du Heng, curled his lips and said, "Sect Master Du, don't be anxious, I didn't say that I was going to leave."
"Then please go to the back hall and take a seat. I will ask someone to prepare the meal."
Du Heng was about to retreat when Lu Yuan called out, "Sect Master Du, we are not in a hurry about food. Let's capture Mo Tian first and then eat later."
After saying that, Lu Yuan opened his palm, and the faint light spot trembled in a certain direction.
"Sect Leader Du doesn't know what this is, right?"
Du Heng's face froze, of course he knew it, this was the tracking circle, and judging from the brightness of the light spot, Mo Tian should still be in the sect!
Did this kid receive my messenger talisman?! Didn't I tell him to run quickly?! Why is he still here?!
Really desperate!
Du Heng looked gloomy, mentally calculating how to rescue Mo Tian again.
"That's right." Lu Yuan suddenly took out a talisman from the storage ring.
The talisman was all white and emitted a faint light. It trembled slightly in Lu Yuan's hand, as if he wanted to leave.
"This is what I, the Holy Son, got. Judging from the aura, it seems to be related to Sect Leader Du."
Du Heng's face suddenly turned pale. Isn't this the messenger talisman he used to inform Mo Tian to run?!
