Zhou Yuan stood in a daze outside the cave. This cave seemed to have not changed at all over the years. Even the gate of the cave was exactly the same as when he left.
"Over the years, this Ziyuan Cave Mansion has maintained the same layout as when you left. No disciple has ever lived in it, so it is perfectly preserved for you." There was a laugh from the side, and Zhou Yuan turned his head and looked. It is Shen Taiyuan.
"I would like to thank the Peak Master."
Zhou Yuan nodded towards Shen Taiyuan, feeling somewhat grateful. After all, this cave was not just a former residence for him, it held the memory of him and Yaoyao living together.
And it was in this cave that the relationship between Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao grew rapidly.
"Didn't Yaoyao come back with you this time?" Shen Taiyuan asked.
Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "She is in a special situation and cannot come to Cang Xuantian."
Shen Taiyuan nodded and said: "Originally, the headmaster arranged the best place for you, but I think you might like it here more."
"Of course."
Zhou Yuan smiled, then took a deep breath and stepped into the cave.
The cave is still so quiet, just like when the two lived there. There are streams flowing in the cave, dotted with stone pavilions and bridges. The deeper you go, you will see a beautiful flower garden.
Zhou Yuan looked at the flowerbed, where hundreds of flowers were blooming, and there were many spiritual plants, all of which were planted one by one by Yaoyao herself.
A warm smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yuan's lips, as if he was recalling those heart-warming scenes from those years.
He walked forward slowly, and finally saw a peach tree with dense leaves standing quietly, with pink petals covering the surrounding ground.
Zhou Yuan stood in front of the peach tree. He stared at the peach blossoms, and what was reflected in his eyes was the graceful and beautiful figure that made people worried.
Yaoyao's cold and beautiful face appeared in front of her eyes, and her every frown and smile moved people's hearts.
Zhou Yuan stretched out his palm to catch a piece of falling peach blossom, and said softly: "Yaoyao, when I calm Cangxuan Tian, I will definitely bring you back. Then, we will live here forever."
Zhou Yuan stood under the peach tree for a long time before turning around and walking out of the cave. He meditated briefly in front of the cave, then took a pot of good wine and headed straight for the mountain behind Saint Origin Peak.
Although Saint Origin Peak has become less deserted in recent years, the back mountain is still considered a forbidden area, and ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter, so the back mountain is particularly deserted.
Zhou Yuan walked through the ancient dense forest, and finally a slightly dilapidated hall appeared in the forest. The square in front of the hall was covered with withered yellow leaves.
Zhou Yuan stepped on the fallen leaves, walked across the square, and then saw a stooped old figure on the steps in front of the hall. He was holding a broom and seemed to be taking a nap, with dead leaves still falling on his body.
Zhou Yuan sat down on the stone steps next to the old man, then reached out to help him pick off all the fallen leaves.
His movements alarmed the old man, who opened his cloudy eyes in shock and looked at this man who had not even noticed how he had appeared.
"Old Xuan, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?" Zhou Yuan smiled brightly at the old man and said.
In the Cangxuan Sect back then, if anyone really had the kindness to teach him, I am afraid that the old man in front of him would even surpass Shen Taiyuan and Qingyang Headmaster.
Old Xuan looked at the man in front of him with his turbid eyes, and his eyes were obviously a little shocked. He stared at Zhou Yuan for a long time, and then said tremblingly: "Young man Zhou Zhouyuan?"
"You're actually back?!"
Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "It's been more than ten years, of course it's time to come back, right? Looking at you like this, it seems that you haven't heard much from me."
Elder Xuan hugged the broom and said hoarsely: "After the battle that year, I returned here and never went out again. At the same time, I also told Qingyang and the others that if they want to kill the Holy Palace, come and call me. If so,
If you don’t go, don’t come to me.”
He shook his head and said: "So, no one has bothered me in these ten years."
There was obviously a strong sense of disappointment in his words. Obviously, he did not need this kind of silence. What he wanted more was that Headmaster Qingyang would bring him the news he wanted.
"The Holy Palace is so powerful that Headmaster Qingyang doesn't dare to touch it. After all, he is carrying the entire Cangxuan Sect on his back." Zhou Yuan took out the wine bowl, filled it up, and gave it to Mr. Xuan with both hands.
Mr. Xuan slowly took it and said: "I know, I don't blame him, but it's just that I can't get over it after all. I want to avenge the master's revenge."
Zhou Yuan was silent. He knew that Elder Xuan had great respect for Patriarch Cangxuan. The meaning of his life might be to avenge Patriarch Cangxuan, but he also understood that with his own power, it was impossible to cause any harm to the Lord of Shengyuan Palace.
Threatened, so I can only sit here.
Zhou Yuan stretched out his wine bowl, touched it with Mr. Xuan, and said, "I know what you think, Mr. Xuan, so I'm here."
Mr. Xuan took a sip from the wine bowl. The wine dripped down his messy beard. He stared at Zhou Yuan with some confusion and said, "What's the use of you coming? Sheng Yuan hates you so much, why are you still here?"
If you dare to come back, you really don’t know the heights of the world.”
Zhou Yuan was not happy when he heard this. He put down his wine bowl, stood up and said to Mr. Xuan: "Now let me introduce you to Mr. Xuan solemnly. The person standing in front of you is the elder of Hunyuan Tiantian Yuan Domain and the direct disciple of Great Lord Cang Yuan.
The man recognized personally by Ancient Lord Jin Luo, Zhou Xiaoyao’s husband, and Zhou Yuan, the first person among the saints recognized by all the heavens!”
Elder Xuan looked at Zhou Yuan with some confusion, who said a series of incomprehensible titles, but he heard the last sentence clearly: "The first person among the saints? You?"
Zhou Yuan looked at him with a smile.
Elder Xuan stared at Zhou Yuan, his brows suddenly and gradually furrowed, and his old face became solemn, because at this moment, he clearly felt an extremely terrifying pressure slowly being released from the man in front of him.
That coercion made the whole world darken.
Faintly, he saw the Purple Gold Holy Dragon entrenched behind Zhou Yuan, and its power made even the heaven and earth tremble.
The wine bowl in Mr. Xuan's hand shook violently, and the wine flowed out. When he was lost in thought, Zhou Yuan had already calmed down and sat down beside him.
"If you are not sure, do you really think that I will die when I come back?" Zhou Yuan said with a smile.
Elder Xuan turned his head with some difficulty. His eyes scanned Zhou Yuan's face, and he seemed to be sure that the person in front of him was the young boy who was just starting out.
After looking at it for a long time, the face in front of him was much less green than before, replaced by a depth that even he couldn't see through.
"Before I came here just now, I met with the four leaders of the Holy Sect, and established the Cangxuan Alliance with them, with me as the leader. The next step is to integrate the power of the entire Cangxuantian, destroy the Holy Palace, and kill the Holy Yuan.
"Zhou Yuan said.
Every time he said a word, Mr. Xuan's palms shook. By the end, he could no longer hold the wine bowl firmly. His voice was trembling, but his eyes looked at Zhou Yuan with endless expectation: "Are you serious?
!”
"Really, I won't lie to you." Zhou Yuan nodded seriously.
Old Xuan said tremblingly: "You, are you really sure you can fight with that Saint Yuan?"
"As long as he has not truly become a saint, I will not be afraid of him. If we really want to fight, no one will know who lives and who dies," Zhou Yuan said.
Elder Xuan stared at Zhou Yuan. After a long while, tears fell down his face full of deep wrinkles. He murmured: "Master's vision is right. If he could know today, he would definitely do it for you."
I am very pleased with the achievement.”
Zhou Yuan raised the wine bowl and said: "So I came here to ask you to see if you still have the strength to come with me and turn the Holy Palace upside down."
Mr. Xuan clenched the wine bowl and touched it hard. The aura of twilight was swept away, and even his voice became harsher.
