"Two seniors, I wonder what you are doing here?"
One of the four, a middle-aged monk in the late Jindan stage, saw the other person showing his figure and looked over. He immediately took a step forward and asked in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
Now that the sect has the god-transforming monks in charge, they are more confident. However, Shangguan Tianque governs the sect very strictly and does not allow the sect's disciples to cause trouble outside.
Violators will be severely punished, or even directly expelled from the sect.
Even though the current Pojun Sect has expanded its territory, it is still only a small sect, and it is still only a fourth-rate sect.
According to the ideas of Shangguan Tianque and his two men, they should not make too many enemies whenever they break through the military gate, especially when a monk who transformed into a god had just appeared, let alone get carried away.
"Fellow Taoists, please inform Elder Li Yan that Dong Lin Tingyue from the Donglin Family and Jia Fugui from the Abacus Sect are here to visit!"
The person who answered the Golden Elixir cultivator was the tall woman, and her voice was extremely pleasant to the ear.
When these four people heard this, their bodies were all shaken.
The Donglin Family and the Abacus Sect are both major sects under the Blood Lantern Sect. They are on the same level as the Pojun Sect, and they are here to find Elder Li.
"Two seniors, please wait a moment!"
…………
In the main hall of "Broken Army Gate", a handsome young man sat in the middle, looking at the two people sitting there, with a humble smile on his face.
The big black dog was lying on the side of Donglin Tingyue, without changing its human form.
After receiving reports from the disciples below, the handsome young man was surprised by Donglin Tingyue's arrival, but he was not too surprised.
After all, they have a good relationship with the Donglin family, and Elder Li once visited the other party's family.
Moreover, he also knew that the black dog was actually a fourth-level "Dark Fiery Demonic Dog". After shrinking in size, it became indistinguishable from a native dog.
However, the Abacus Sect was relatively far away from his own sect. He had heard about Jia Fugui, but had never seen him. For a moment, he didn't know how these two people and a demon could come together.
However, he soon thought of another rumor. It seemed that in the "big fruitless" robbery more than ten years ago, several Nascent Soul monks came back alive in the end.
At the beginning, everyone only knew the situation within their own sect and could not tell who from other sects had returned alive. However, after a while, some things slowly came out.
"Did Jia Fugui also participate in the 'Big Fruitless' snatching battle that time and still survive? Only then did he meet Elder Li?"
The handsome young man was thinking in his heart, but he had already spoken.
"It's unfortunate that you three fellow Taoists are here. Elder Li has been in seclusion for a long time. I haven't seen him for more than ten years. There has been no news. He may be at a critical moment in cultivation, so it is not convenient to disturb him through sound transmission.
Already."
After the two people and one dog heard the words, Donglin Tingyue and Jia Fugui looked at each other. Donglin Tingyue's eyes showed disappointment at first.
Of course she came to Li Yan with something urgent. She didn't expect that Li Yan would be in seclusion for a long time. If Li Yan was missing from this matter, she would be much less sure.
But when she got here, the other party didn't even want to inform her and refused directly. Then her affairs would be a bit troublesome.
But they didn't just come to the door rashly. Fortunately, there were other reasons. Maybe Li Yan could still see the two of them, so he motioned to Jia Fugui, who looked up at the handsome young man and spoke with a smile.
"Yu Sect Leader, we once promised fellow Daoist Li that we would help him find out some information, but he said at that time that once there is information, it would be best to inform him as soon as possible, so..."
When Jia Fugui said this, he stopped talking.
The handsome young man at the top is none other than Yu Banjiang. Now he is the sect leader of the Pojun Sect, and Shangguan Tianque has become the great elder. He no longer has to personally handle various matters within the sect.
Unless something important happens, he will show up, usually staying in the back.
Once Ren Yanyu succeeds in becoming a god again, they may put down more sect affairs. The two of them will either be proud of the mountains and rivers, or continue to practice hard.
Although they also want to reach the realm of refining the void, or even merge into one, but that will happen in an unknown year. But they can finally relax a little before they "rush" again.
When Yu Banjiang heard this, he frowned and his heart moved at the same time.<
br>
"It seems that Jia Fugui must have also participated in the 'Big Fruitless' snatching battle, and then he met Elder Li..."
He was thinking this in his mind, but he continued to speak.
"Elder Li asked two fellow Taoists to inquire about the news, but before he went into seclusion, he never told others about this matter. This..."
The meaning of his words was already very clear, and he couldn't just make up random reasons just to get Li Yan to come out to see them.
Now that he is the leader of the sect, he has already informed his master and uncle of anything that needs to be reminded. It is obvious that Elder Li has not said such things.
However, Yu Banjiang believed 50% of what the other party said, so his attitude remained modest.
Li Yan rarely goes out, and he rarely travels far, as he knows Donglin Tingyue, but Jia Fugui came all the way here, probably not just to see Li Yan.
But whether the things mentioned are as important as what the other party says is not necessarily the case.
"Master Yu, how can you talk nonsense about such things? I can guarantee it in the name of the Donglin family. Fellow Daoist Li said that he will be notified as soon as there is news about this matter!"
Donglin Tingyue heard this and immediately spoke.
"oh?"
Yu Banjiang had a solemn expression on his face.
…………
"Buzz buzz..."
Continuous vibrations came from a token dropped on the ground, and as the token vibrated, a layer of dust on it rose up one after another, as if it had been dusty for a long time.
Li Yan, who was motionless at first and had his head up to his waist, finally woke up slowly. His body moved slightly at first, and then his closed eyes slowly opened.
His eyes were indifferent and dull at first, as if he was still immersed in some kind of realization, but they soon became clear.
Then, his attention was attracted by the continuous "buzzing" sound, and his eyes fell on the ground in front of him, on the token that was constantly flashing red light.
He gently raised his hand, and the token had been absorbed into the palm of his hand. As he raised his arm, some dust fell down from the black robe.
During these years of seclusion, in the early days, he was still awake every day because he practiced Qiongqi Purgatory and various exercises.
Moreover, he would go to "Tuban" from time to time to give the old man in green robe a beating, causing him to go crazy and begin to tremble in fear every time he saw him...
But later, after Li Yan took out the "Fuxi Pan" to study it, he slowly immersed himself in it again, until at a certain moment, he fell into a long-term realization.
As he sat there, he lost track of the passage of time. The passage of time seemed to be a long time, but it seemed that it was only a moment of glory.
Li Yan was extremely dissatisfied when his enlightenment was interrupted. Now he realizes the power of yin and yang and the five elements no longer as quickly as it did at the beginning, so every moment may be a new breakthrough for him.
This is a long process. After so many years, Li Yan still has a lot of insights into the power relationship between yin and yang and the five elements, but he has not been able to verify them one by one.
Looking at the token in his hand, Li Yan's face was gloomy, and his consciousness sank into it. Just a moment later, his body shook slightly, and a bright light burst out in his eyes.
"The two of them came here, is there any news? The two of them came together, so there is news, but... this is a bit incredible!
Moreover, the fourth-level ‘Dark Fiery Demonic Dog’ from the Donglin family has also come over, what does this mean?”
The message was sent by Yu Banjiang, which also explained the purpose of these two people and one demon, saying that they were responding to some messages at his request.
Li Yan knew exactly what Yu Banjiang said about the purpose of these two people's coming, but he was very strange in his heart. Why did Jia Fugui meet Dong Lin Tingyue again?
Half a quarter of an hour later, in the hall of Li Yan's cave, Li Yan, dressed in black robe, regained his short hair like a steel needle. After arranging it, he seemed very energetic.
Seeing Yu Banjiang coming with two people and a dog in front of him, he stood up to greet him with a smile on his face.
"The presence of several fellow Taoists really made Li's place flourish.
Hahaha..."
Donglin Tingyue scanned Li Yan's face carefully and found that although Li Yan's aura looked more energetic than before, he was still in the same middle Nascent Soul stage as himself, and his state was the same as before.
"Hmph, this guy must have practiced some kind of concealment technique, and he is so good at pretending that even the cultivator of the Transformation God was deceived by him, and he will never die again!"
After she returned to the family, although she was strictly ordered by Chunyang Hall not to spread the news, she and Li Yan were different. In the end, they revealed some more information to the Taishang Elder and the Second Elder. The three of them were close relatives.
Of course, Donglin Tingyue believed in these two people the most. After analysis by the three of them, they finally agreed that Li Yan was not just a strong physical cultivator, but was most likely hiding his cultivation.
Under such circumstances, even if it was a sneak attack, it would be a head-to-head collision with a god-transforming monk.
Being able to make even a god-forming monk unable to control his body shape within a breath. At least he is a late-stage Nascent Soul body cultivator. Perhaps only in this way can the explanation be somewhat reasonable.
This is a monk in the late stage of Nascent Soul, and he should have a strength that is infinitely close to that in the early stage of becoming a god.
Therefore, the real combat power of this monk named Li Yan must be quite terrifying, and the sect leader Shangguan Tianque may not even be his opponent.
Therefore, Donglin Tingyue at that time carefully recalled the process of Li Yan's action, and immediately agreed with this guess.
Finally, after getting the true state of Li Yan, she couldn't help but cursed in her heart. This Li Yan was so insidious that even the monks who transformed themselves into spirits fell prey to him.
Fortunately, I was sincere to him, but even in such a life-and-death crisis, the other party would not reveal any details to me, so that I could at least gain more confidence and avoid being fearful and desperate.
At the same time, she suddenly thought of her wrist. Under the opponent's hand, the once hot temperature made the pretty face under the mask feel hot...
Because the Donglin family can only barely survive in the fairy world, a fourth-rate sect will still be destroyed at any time.
Donglin Tingyue has sworn since she was a child that she must become a truly strong person in this world and bring her family to at least the level of a second-rate sect.
That was her ultimate dream and the only motivation for her to practice hard.
Therefore, all the personal relationships between men and women were suppressed by her. Even if young talents in the family approached her, she would always ignore them, and would directly refuse them, cutting off everyone's thoughts.
Moreover, she has already thought in her heart that even if she is looking for a Taoist partner in the future, it must be someone she personally chooses. Not only must she be satisfied with her cultivation and character, but she must also be fond of the other person.
Rather than being the product of a marriage between certain forces, her path to immortality can only be controlled by herself.
In that "fruitless" snatching battle, Li Yan not only discovered the danger in advance, but also pulled her away and escaped the first wave of massacre.
Later, when she was desperate, Li Yan seemed to appear out of nowhere. He first killed the old woman named He, and then suppressed another level of killing.
It made her heart regain hope little by little from despair. In the end, Li Yan miraculously came back alive from the second floor, completely letting her go from death to life.
All of this left an indelible mark on Donglin Tingyue's heart. The figure he saw when he was in despair could no longer get out of his heart and could not go away.
Whenever she thought of Li Yan, Donglin Tingyue had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, which made her feel frightened and confused.
But she has been trying to convince herself that everything is only because the other party saved her, so she will remember it deeply.
But she kept thinking about what Li Yan told Jia Fugui. Not only did she ask around, but she also asked her tribe and others to help inquire.
Before coming today, she was a little confused along the way. It was a mood of expectation and anxiety.
Previously, when she heard that Li Yan would not see guests in seclusion, she felt relieved, but then she felt an inexplicable loss. It was a sudden change in mood that only she knew.
At this moment, when I really saw Li Yan, all the emotions disappeared.
"We didn't know that fellow Taoist Li was in retreat, so we came here so presumptuously and really disturbed fellow Taoist Taoist monks' spiritual practice!"
Seeing that Donglin Tingyue just glanced at Li Yan and seemed to be thinking about something in her mind without speaking, Jia Fugui had no choice but to speak immediately.
The black dog also uttered human words after looking at Li Yan.
“I’ve met fellow Daoist Li!”
This was the first time he spoke after meeting Li Yan several times, and it was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"I have met a few fellow Taoists. This place is a bit shabby. Please sit down for a moment. I have been in retreat for a long time. I may have some things to talk to fellow Taoists first. I am really sorry."
Li Yan quickly asked a few people to sit down.
He also saw Yu Banjiang, who was standing behind him with a smile on his face. He knew that the other party must have something to talk to him in private.
"Hahaha, this is natural. There are a lot of changes outside now. Fellow Daoist Li can just go ahead and take care of himself. We will talk about it later!"
Jia Fugui laughed, they also knew from Yu Banjiang that Li Yan had gone into seclusion more than ten years ago.
If you think about it this way, doesn't it mean that as soon as the other party comes back from the "big fruitless" snatching battle, they will no longer be involved in worldly affairs, and they must be ignorant of many things.
Donglin Tingyue showed a smile in her eyes and nodded.
Immediately, Li Yan led Yu Banjiang to the side hall. After about half a cup of tea, the two of them came out again.
Yu Banjiang bowed his hands to the two people and the demon in the hall, and left quietly.
Li Yan's eyes flickered, as if he was still thinking about the various news he had received, but he slowly walked towards the main seat.
He did not expect that during his retreat, Shangguan Tianque would break through the realm and be promoted to the state of transformation.
This pair of masters and disciples were either destined to him or not. He had never seen these two advance. They only made breakthroughs and advancements when he chose to retreat.
Especially Shangguan Tianque's promotion. In fact, it would be very helpful for him to observe. But Ren Yanyu didn't know how far Li Yan had gone into seclusion, so naturally it was hard to disturb him.
And now the sect has also undergone changes, with Ban Jiang taking over as the sect leader.
The rebellions in Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa have also passed. In these years, Chunyang Hall and Lianxin Valley also experienced seven years of open and covert fighting.
Not only the Nascent Soul and the Transformation God died, but also the Void Refining monks suffered casualties. In the end, even the superior first-class sects of these two sects also came forward to intervene.
Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa only lost peripheral disciples. Finally, under the protection of Lianxin Valley, a new sect was re-established there.
Nowadays, the melee led by Chunyang Hall and Lianxin Valley has slowly subsided four years ago due to the intervention of the first-class sects. This matter can be regarded as settled, and neither side has gained much benefit.
Overall, Chunyang Hall still suffered some losses due to the loss of two third-rate sects.
After learning that these things disappeared from Yu Banjiangkou, Li Yan thought about it, and the final result was reasonable.
That time, under the conspiracy in Lianxin Valley, two transformation gods died here, and two transformation gods were also killed in Lianxin Valley by him, and one transformation god was also taken in.
If they can really crush each other, why bother to make such a calculation and just take down the other side?
Later, the two sides started to fight with open swords and guns, and the result was that with equal strength, which side can get through better?
Later, Yu Banjiang confirmed with Li Yan whether the purpose of these two people and one demon's coming here was true.
After getting Li Yan's definite answer, although he was also curious as to why Li Yan sought help from outsiders, Yu Banjiang was not so stupid as to actually ask Li Yan for the reason.
Another reason why he came here in person was that he was afraid that Li Yan would not know the current situation outside and the changes in the sect. Of course, he had to tell the other party clearly in advance.
Otherwise, if Donglin Tingyue and the others talk about something, Li Yan will be completely confused, especially the fact that the master has successfully transformed into a god. They must tell Li Yan.
However, after Yu Banjiang left, he would immediately go to Shangguan Tianque to report that Elder Li Yan had left seclusion.
Elder Li has not shown up for a long time, and the master often mentions him. Even though he has successfully transformed into a god, whenever he talks about Elder Li, he still respects Li Yan very much.
