Circles of ripples appeared in the void, and Chen Xi's figure had disappeared on Xihua Peak.
"Junior brother is gone?"
"Um."
"Although I had known he would do this, this feeling of being left behind still makes me very annoyed."
"There is nothing we can do if we are angry. Lingbai, the master has made it clear that he wants us to practice hard. Only when we are all safe and worry-free will he be worry-free."
"Oh, I know. We fought all the way from the Great Chu Dynasty to the Xuanhuan Territory. Isn't he always like this? I'm just a little unhappy. Next time he dares to do this again, I will definitely fight him hard!"
"The key is, can you beat the master?"
"This... Mu Kui! Believe it or not, I will beat you up now?"
"Stop arguing, I'm hungry."
At the top of Xihua Peak, Senior Brother Huo Moller and others, Ling Bai, Mukui, the yellow-haired bear Aman, Bai Kui, and Shen Yan all stared at the place where Chen Xi left with complicated expressions.
"I went to cook."
Suddenly, Shang spoke, and after saying that, he turned around and left, with a cold and solemn posture. He didn't look like he was going to cook, but as if he was rushing to the battlefield.
Seeing this, everyone felt a little weird.
When Chen Xi left, he asked Shang to take good care of everyone, but everyone didn't take it seriously, but they didn't expect that Shang actually started to perform his duties.
However, after being disturbed like this, everyone's dissatisfaction with Chen Xi subsided a lot.
Beside the Sword Washing Pond, in a quiet courtyard.
This is Chen Xi's dormitory residence. After Chen Xi left, there should have been no one to deal with it, but now, a stern figure wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe suddenly appeared.
It was surprisingly Chen Xi's second clone.
"It seems that they won't leave Xihua Peak without asking me to come forward anymore..." While muttering to himself, the second clone disappeared again.
…
Under the clear sky, there is a treasure ship speeding through the clouds.
"You left both the second clone and the Star Cave behind because you were worried that this trip might be unlucky?" Xiao Ding suddenly asked.
"If the bet fails, I will have to commit suicide."
On the bow deck, Chen Xi held his head with his arms, lying there lazily, and casually replied: "By doing this, you can leave a way out for yourself."
"Then are you worried that your woman will marry Bing Shitian?" Xiao Ding continued to ask.
"I have never distrusted Xiu Yi, it's just that I don't trust Bing Shitian. He will definitely use all means to achieve his goals. I can't trust him." Chen Xi replied calmly.
Xiao Ding said no more.
Chen Xi asked curiously: "Senior, what is your current strength level?"
"At least it can save your life."
Xiao Ding's answer was very vague, but Chen Xi was already very satisfied.
Three months later.
The treasure ship slowly stopped outside Qiuyang City.
…
Qiuyang City is an ancient city, its history can be traced back to the ancient times, and it was built almost at the same time as Tianyan Taoism.
Next to this ancient city is the Tianyan Dao Sect, one of the ten most famous Immortal Sects in the world.
Qiuyang City is very prosperous, with straight streets extending in all directions and numerous pavilions and pavilions. There are millions of monks living here alone. It is densely populated and extremely prosperous.
Nowadays, Tianyan Dao Sect has become the leading sect among the ten immortal sects, with overwhelming power. Qiuyang City, which is adjacent to Tianyan Dao Sect, has become famous all over the world and has become a place of pilgrimage in the minds of many cultivators. Practice the Pure Land.
When Chen Xi put away the treasure ship and entered Qiuyang City, his first impression was that there were so many people. Everywhere he looked, they were all black and dense heads of people. There was an endless flow of people, and waves of noisy sounds rushed towards him, making it seem extremely lively.
"Haha, Brother Yun, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Hey, how could I miss such a grand event? I think Bing Shitian and Qing Xiuyi were famous all over the world thousands of years ago, and now they are going to become Taoist couples. If we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be a disaster.
I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"That's right. I heard that not only the big names from the ten major immortal sects gathered together for this event, but also distinguished guests from the mysterious unknown land and the Holy Land of Ascension."
"Yes, that's why I came a year early, but I didn't expect that there would be so many colleagues who had the same thoughts as me and came early."
"Actually, it's the same sooner or later. Without an invitation written by Master Bing Shitian, no one is qualified to go to Tianyan Dao Sect to observe the grand ceremony. Do you know that in the black market nowadays, an invitation
I was rewarded with a thousand fairy stones!"
"Hiss! No way?"
"Why not? At this price, there are still many people who want to buy it but can't."
Chen Xi put his hands behind his back and walked among the bustling crowds. He listened to the topics discussed by everyone, but his expression was calm and calm.
Three days later.
In a restaurant in Qiuyang City.
Chen Xi was sitting near the window, drinking and drinking tea with a leisurely demeanor.
In the past three days, he has roughly understood that in about a year, Tianyan Taoist Sect will hold a grand ceremony for Bing Shitian and Qing Xiuyi to become Taoist couples.
At that time, only those who hold the invitation will be qualified to enter the Tianyan Dao Sect and be present to observe this ceremony. Those who can hold the invitation are all famous people. As for ordinary people, they are
You are not qualified to participate in this grand event at all.
But even so, it still attracted many cultivators from all over. Although they could not participate, these cultivators did not want to miss such a grand event.
"Hey, have you heard that Qing Xiuyi gave birth to a son for Chen Xi of the Jiuhua Sword Sect? I have a hunch that this event will be unusual."
Suddenly, a cultivator in the restaurant lowered his voice and said something mysteriously.
"You just know. Most of the cultivators who came to Qiuyang City this time already know about this matter." Another person snorted disapprovingly, as if he was familiar with the world's affairs.
"Oh? Then did you know that Chen Xi once made a bet with Bing Shitian back then?" The person who spoke before said dissatisfiedly.
"What bet?" The man was startled and asked.
"Yeah, what kind of bet?" Others asked, curious.
The person who spoke before smiled mysteriously, coughed a few words in a pretentious manner, and said: "The bet between the two of them is very simple. If Qing Xiuyi marries Bing Shitian, then Chen Xi will destroy his cultivation and commit suicide.
And if Bing Shitian loses, then he will demote himself as a mortal and let Chen Xi live and kill him!"
"What!"
"This is real?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't this event have a winner?"
"God! This is too shocking. One of them is an immortal who descended from the upper world, and the other is a world-famous genius. How could they make such a strong oath for a woman?"
The crowd seemed to be in an uproar, and everyone was in disbelief.
In the scene, only Chen Xi looked calm.
Discussions like this happen almost all the time in the streets of Qiuyang City. He has long been used to it. He can't say that he has any feelings about it. He can only vaguely deduce that such rumors may have come from the ancient battlefield with him.
Spread by cultivators who arrived in the Xuanhuan realm.
Because this bet was made on the ancient battlefield and was witnessed by many people at that time, it was impossible to hide it from everyone.
Chen Xi even knew that the reason he arrived at Qiuyang City now was not so much to observe the Taoist couple ceremony held by Bing Shitian and Qing Xiuyi, but rather to witness who lost and who won the bet between himself and Bing Shitian.
In other words, there are both reasons.
But Chen Xi no longer cares. The purpose of his coming here is just to take back Qing Xiuyi, and other things have no influence on his mind at all.
"Hey, that person seems to be Chen Xi. When I was in Liyang City, I once took a look at him from a distance..." At this moment, a voice of surprise sounded, and immediately, Chen Xi felt a gaze falling on him.
"What! Chen Xi?"
"Where?"
"He actually came early?"
For a moment, the whole house was in an uproar, but when everyone looked at Chen Xi's position, they found that the place was already empty.
On this day, the entire Qiuyang City was buzzing with news that Chen Xi had appeared here, causing a sensation throughout the city.
Unfortunately, when the cultivators in the city tried to find traces of Chen Xi, they could not find them at all. It was like a sudden appearance, and they were never heard from again.
one year later.
Tianyan Dao Sect opened its gate and began to welcome distinguished guests.
For a moment, the entire Qiuyang City was completely boiling. Unfortunately, most of them had no invitations and could only wander in Qiuyang City, waiting for news to come from the Tianyan Dao Sect.
And those big shots with invitations have already arrived at Tianyan Dao Sect one after another this year.
In a secluded small courtyard.
A young man opened the door of the small courtyard, looked up at the sky, and walked into the bustling street.
He has a dignified figure and a calm expression. He is dressed in a green shirt, like a scholar who is traveling. His temperament is quiet and indifferent, with no imposing manner, and naturally he will not attract people's attention.
In other words, other people couldn't notice his presence at all, because his pace seemed slow and slow, but it was like teleporting, and no one could lock on to his traces.
This person is naturally Chen Xi.
During this year, he did not practice any practice. He just lived quietly in Qiuyang City, like an ordinary ordinary person. He only did two things every day - go shopping in the morning and sleep when he returned home in the evening.
The turbid waves of the mortal world wash away the Taoist heart, and the heart is no longer stained, and everything is pure and peaceful.
"The Tianyan Mountains are indeed a treasure land of immortals."
After a while, Chen Xi stood in front of a vast group of mountains. Looking from a distance, he saw that the mountains were like tigers crouching, with the Qingxiao Immortal Gang coiled above, white cranes flying, and the spiritual veins meandering below, absorbing the spiritual clouds. It was a myriad of things, majestic and majestic.
.
And deep in the mountains, powerful auras shot straight into the sky, evolving into a breathtaking momentum that enveloped the entire world.
Chen Xi knew that that was where the Tianyan Dao Sect's sect was located.
Without hesitation, he walked away.
There was no tragic, indignant or decisive expression in his expression, nor was there any laughter, joy or wild gestures. There was just a kind of calmness, calmness from the inside out.
