Ji Xing didn't explain much at the time, but the color of his pupils was obviously darker.
Now that they have been in the secret realm for a long time, these people are still here, looking like they will not stop fighting.
Tong Yan really can't trust Ji Xing to go back alone.
The plan was disrupted, and she couldn't help but sigh.
The plan can't keep up with the changes, but that's it.
Tong Yan re-planned the route back. It was quite circuitous, but it was safer.
There is no guarantee that there will be no ambush if we return the same way. They are not in their best condition. The other side will engage in wheel battles every two days. No matter how you look at it, they will suffer.
In this case, why bother confronting the killers?
As for the extra one-third of the distance, it is not a problem at all in Tong Yan's opinion. In the past few years, she has made some progress in the magic movement technique, but she is running in the wrong direction... her flying speed is already several times that of her fellow practitioners.
The journey is no big deal
Similarly, the consumption of spiritual power is also huge. After running at full speed for half a day, her spiritual power will bottom out, her body will fall into a period of fatigue, and her combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
She was responsible for the journey, and the fight naturally fell on Ji Xing.
Although the planned route is hidden, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger at all. There are no killers, and there are also rogue cultivators, so there will always be a time to take action.
Although Ji Xing's state is not good, he is not just a Buddhist cultivator. He has high-end talismans that are free of charge, which is enough to deal with most young people.
It was almost the same time as they arrived in Penglai. After many days, the two finally returned to Yunzen Temple.
After listening to some gossip on the way here, I realized that it had been four months since they left that day.
It was also these four short months, and a lot of things seemed to have happened in the world of cultivation.
Something happy seems to be happening in Baiyin Valley. Although they are just rumors, there is some real evidence.
First of all, someone saw the direct disciples of Daotian Sect rushing towards Baiyin Valley with their things. Looking at the red and colorful posture, the two sects were afraid that they were going to marry Qin and Jin.
It has never been a secret that Qi Fangyu, the future heir of Daotian Sect, admires Senior Sister Baiyingu.
Focusing on whether the two factions should marry or not, the melon-eating monks were divided into several camps and had a heated discussion for several days and nights. In the end, this view won overwhelmingly.
Even if the two factions get married, they will never involve the heirs of their respective sects.
Qi Fangyu and Jiang Qingle are both direct descendants of the sect and the future leaders of the sect, responsible for the dignity and future of the sect.
In any case, the marriage will not fall on the two of them.
It is absolutely impossible for an outsider to be the supreme leader of the sect.
It is impossible for one to marry? If one is impossible to marry, how can the marriage be accomplished?
Let’s talk about the Sword Sect’s most eye-catching Ten Thousand Swords Conference? It came to an end a few months ago.
I heard that someone obtained Gao Zhenjun's natal magic sword from hundreds of years ago that day. For this reason, Zhenjun showed up? He specially gave him a set of corresponding sword techniques.
Everyone laments the good luck of that monk. You know, good magic weapons are hard to find in the world of cultivation nowadays. Good sword techniques are also priceless treasures.
That kid got lucky in one day and got both.
In less than a hundred years, there will be another powerful sword cultivator in the world.
Although these two topics are heard the most, they are not the most mysterious.
There is a piece of gossip that spreads quickly among the monks, but no one talks about it openly in public. Even if someone mentions it cautiously, it is still secretive and secretive.
Have you been back for more than two days? Tong Yan only heard a few random words from the monks.
The monk who spoke at that time lowered his voice very low and looked a little nervous, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him.
"Do you think he really deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors? That's someone who has taught him for decades. How could he do this!"
"Not only have I taught him for decades, I heard that at that time... Zhenjun picked him back from the dead. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was the rebirth of his parents.
But for the sake of a treasure, he deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors and fell into the devil's way. It is simply a shame for our generation! This sword sect is not a good person. He taught such a scum and did not clean up the family immediately. He also tried to protect this devil for personal gain and let him go.
Massacre outside, such a sect that does not distinguish between good and evil and has no righteousness, arrogantly becoming a sect with one sword!"
The more the man spoke, the more indignant he became, and his voice became louder due to emotion. He was gnashing his teeth, as if he wished he could fight with the Sword Sect to punish evil and promote good and uphold justice.
The voice was so loud that almost all the monks in the teahouse heard it. The scene was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping.
It was just a few words of discussion in a low voice, and it was hard for the people of Jianzong to say anything clearly when they heard it. But with his blatant insults and slanders, did he think he was too long-lived?
Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, the insulting monk belatedly realized what he had said, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his head.
The monk who started the topic in the first place did not dare to answer the conversation and buried his head tightly for fear that others would find him.
A clear cough suddenly sounded in the silent teahouse, and then a male voice sounded. The voice was relatively steady, but it still revealed suppressed anger.
"The head of our sect has said it early in the morning. This is a private matter of our sect. Our sect will investigate the right and wrong. We will never wrongly accuse innocent people, nor let go of any villain who deceives teachers and destroys the Tao. I will also please the world.
Gentlemen, please do not speculate too much. If you find anyone who uses this to maliciously slander or spread rumors, please don’t blame our sect for being rude!"
The person who spoke was a disciple of the Jian Sect. He was taking a break in the tea house, but he overheard others insulting his sect wantonly. How could he bear it?
Half a moment after he finished speaking, a sword energy suddenly appeared and knocked the scolding monk away.
"Anyone who insults our sect without reason should be punished!" The male voice spoke again.
This was not over yet. It is said that in the early morning of the next day, people leaving the city found a miserable corpse in the woods three miles outside the city. It was the monk who had cursed the day before.
Because this person had insulted Jian Zong before and was taught a lesson by Jian Zong disciples, many people thought that Jian Zong disciples had a motive for committing the crime. Perhaps they felt angry about the slap and took revenge in private.
Most people were skeptical. After all, Jian Zong was a well-known and upright sect, and his actions were always upright. Moreover, since the man had been punished after insulting him, Jian Zong would never kill innocent people indiscriminately again.
There are also conspiracy theorists who believe that other sects or hostile forces are fishing in troubled waters to deliberately discredit the Sword Sect.
…
Xiao Lou went to Baiyin Valley to look for Xiyun Antlers, and came back half a month earlier than Tong Yan and Ji Xing.
According to what he said, he was able to successfully obtain Xiyun Antlers, thanks to Shen Zhuangheng's dealing with it.
Thinking that before he knew it, he and he had not seen each other for several years, Tong Yan specially sent a message to the past to ask about his current situation.
After finding Shang Xun, she wanted to meet Su Mu.
In this world, apart from his master, he is the one closest to him.
After handing the three treasures to Master He Kong and understanding the progress of the treatment, Xiao Lou stayed in the temple to help He Zhan treat him, while Tong Yan returned to the courtyard outside the city.
After returning from Penglai, she felt that something had changed in Ji Xing. She didn't know when he started to grow his hair. In just a few days, his black hair had grown to his ears. He no longer always wore a cassock, but would occasionally put on a cassock.
Wear plain clothes and go out for a walk.
Is he... going to return to secular life?
After resting here for several days, his injuries were almost healed. After much thought, Tong Yan decided to go to Penglai again.
Before leaving, she originally wanted to say goodbye to Ji Xing and never leave again, but things didn't work out. Recently, Ji Xing always left early and came back late, and occasionally even didn't come back at all. She never met anyone.
As a result, the trip was delayed for two days. If she couldn't find anyone after waiting another night, she would give up saying goodbye in person and leave a message instead.
