The palace was full of people, all of them were the heads or elders of the major sects. The demon cultivators had been causing trouble for the Yunxiao lineage for some time, but every time a disciple was killed, when they went over, they only saw the corpses with their internal organs emptied, without any clues.
Chen Xu sat on the right side of the main hall, listening to the questions from a group of old men below, forcing a smile on his face, and cursing Pei Yuzhi a thousand times in his heart.
"Elder Chen... We have been waiting here for two hours. Where is the headmaster?"
They were of humble status and did not dare to be disrespectful to Master Yunxiao, so they could only ask questions carefully.
Chen Xu said: "Hurry, come soon."
Several elderly elders looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
However, there were also some young and impatient people among them. They were very impatient now and suppressed their anger and said, "If I remember correctly, the leader of Tianya went out to gain experience and enlightenment. Now he should be just a disciple acting as the temporary leader - a temporary disciple. He is just leaving us alone like this?"
Chen Xu said: "You can't blame him for this. He didn't know about it when he went out."
The young elder, dressed in a black robe, laughed angrily, "I don't know. What a good sentence. This evil cultivator is doing evil here and harming people everywhere. As the head of Yunxiao Sect, he doesn't even know about this. So what else does he know?"
Chen Xu: “…” He also wants to know.
What is Pei Yuzhi doing
An old man from the same sect as him wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered to him, "Alright, alright, there's no need. We are here to ask for help. How can you behave like this?"
The young man in black robe tilted his head and said, "This is not a question of asking or not. Yunxiao is the head of the immortal sect, and slaying demons and monsters is his job."
"Since he is respected by the world, he should also set an example - not knowing and not doing anything is incompetence. Knowing and not doing anything is cold-blooded."
Chen Xu listened to him, his fingers gripping the hilt of the sword, and could only smile, keeping his composure with great dignity.
The old man who was with the young man in black robe had a twitching face, winking and making all kinds of hints, but the young man could not see anything.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, leaned close to his ear, and said with a look of disappointment in every word: "What temporary disciple? Do you know who he is?"
The young man in black robes looked at him and straightened his body. He acted upright and spoke loudly and clearly: "No matter who he is, he is wrong in this matter!"
The old man: “You!” He was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit someone.
Chirp chirp.
When everyone was watching the show, a bird suddenly flew in from outside the palace gate, flapping its yellow wings and rushing straight towards Chen Xu. Outside the Tianqian Peak, there were high walls with green tiles and light clouds blocking the sun. The bird seemed to be carrying a cool breeze.
Everyone was stunned, and they only felt a surge of pressure coming from outside.
Chen Xuxin lifted the bird halfway, stretched out his hand to catch it, and whispered, "Where is he?"
The little yellow bird raised its wings and pointed behind itself: "Chirp." It's chasing me and chopping me.
Chen Xu twitched his lips and flicked its forehead with his fingertips: "Stupid bird."
The pressure was too obvious. Everyone stood in awe, holding their breath, and couldn't help but tense up.
The young man in black robes didn't care at all. "Come if you want to. Are you going to show us your power?"
The old man next to him slapped him on the head and said viciously: "Look clearly at who he is!!"
The young man had his own persistence and said, "Who cares who he is?! Anyway, this is his fault!"
bump.
The palace doors were wide open.
The young man stopped talking and looked outside with everyone else.
All I saw was a tall figure standing at the entrance of the palace in the backlight. His clothes were as white as snow, he was holding a sword in his hand, and his hair was flying under his crown and hairpin, like a banished immortal.
The young man in black robe was stunned. He had just come out of seclusion and didn't know much about the outside world—Tianya Sect Leader went out to gain experience, while Pei Yuzhi practiced in seclusion.
Isn't the temporary leader a favored disciple of Yunxiao Inner Peak...
But his luck was soon shattered.
The voice arrives before the person appears.
"I'm so sorry I'm late."
The young man in white had a casual tone and a hint of smile.
With the slightly cool wind and light, it appears to have an immortal-like remoteness and nobility.
He walked out of the light.
Snowcoat brushed across the threshold.
A person seemed to have brought this silent mountain to life. His clothes were ethereal, like a wisp of smoke and a lonely cloud, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, but his smile was out of reach.
Everyone was horrified.
The young man in black robe was also stunned, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, behind this disbelief, there was shame and embarrassment. His face turned pale and blue.
He finally understood what his elders meant.
—Open your eyes and see clearly who he is
Who is it
Yunxiao Pei Yuzhi.
The person he has always longed for and admired.
The little yellow bird hid itself behind Chen Xu, and raised its round eyes to look at Pei Jing quietly.
Chen Xu's heart finally settled down and he stood up. Pei Yuzhi was so pretentious, so of course he had to give him some face. He said respectfully, "Master."
Pei Jing nodded at him, walked forward, sat down on the main seat in a robe as flowing as clouds, and said to everyone, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
All the major leaders were in high spirits and dared not utter a word of complaint.
"No, no, it's an honor for us to be able to meet us, Master."
Pei Jing said: "A few days ago, I encountered a demon in the Changtian Secret Realm. The strength was unpredictable, so I went to investigate with Yu Qinglian from Yingzhou. Therefore, it took a lot of time. I hope you don't blame me."
Yingzhou Yu Qinglian. At this moment, the elders present dared not speak. No one complained at all, and even felt ashamed.
Things have their priorities. Wentian Peak's Heavenly Ranking allowed two of the top five Heavenly Prodigies to investigate together - how powerful this demon must be, how many innocent people he must have killed, that must be the top priority!
Chen Xu said from the side: "Since the Sect Leader is here, just say whatever you want to say."
Pei Jing’s personality to the outside world is that he is cold and taciturn.
He didn't say anything after hearing that. He turned his head slightly and saw the cowardly bird hiding behind Chen Xu, and gave it a warning look.
The little yellow bird was so scared that it buried itself in Chen Xu's hair.
Chen Xu just wanted to throw the stupid bird out, but he still tolerated it and said to everyone: "The master went out to gain experience, and he knows nothing about what happened in this month. You all should explain it clearly so that the master can have a better understanding of the devil."
Several elders instantly stood up from their chairs excitedly.
"Master, the incident first happened in my Shinto sect. The daughter of an elder in my sect suddenly disappeared one night. When she was found, her whole body was soaked in a pool, and her internal organs were taken out. Her death was extremely tragic. I watched that little girl grow up. She was very talented, but who would have thought that she would fall into such a vicious hand. I hope that Master can help us find the demon and avenge this blood feud."
Another person said.
"Those who got into trouble in our sect were all registered disciples, both men and women, and their stomachs were cut open when they died. After that, the sect was on high alert and on guard at every step, but some people still died tragically - in the past few days, incidents have happened more frequently."
"To be able to enter our sect as if it were an empty space, that demon must be at least a Golden Core cultivator."
After several people talked to each other, Pei Jing didn't get anything useful.
He had heard Xu Jing mention these things before he left Yunxiao.
After listening to this, Pei Jing nodded and said "I understand". Then he signaled Chen Xu with his eyes to send the guest away.
Chen Xu pulled the corner of his lip, especially giving face, and stood up again, saying to everyone: "Don't worry, elders. If there are any clues that have not been explained, I will personally tell the head of the sect. You can go back first, and remember to be careful in the next few days."
The elders had a lot to say, but they all held back and nodded. Seeing Pei Yuzhi, they were already half relieved. In the current world, those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage are all powerful people who have lived for thousands of years and have never left the world.
Pei Yuzhi is now young, half a step away from becoming a Nascent Soul, and it is not an exaggeration that he ranks first in the Heavenly Trial. Looking around the world, there are few rivals for him.
With his intervention, the matter has been resolved by 80%.
Of course, they may not know that this number one in the world has been encountering demons that he cannot afford to offend since he came out of seclusion.
The young man in black robe, who had been complaining all the time, lowered his head and remained silent until the end, like an eggplant hit by frost.
After leaving the main hall of Tianqian Peak, you can have a panoramic view of the vast scenery of the 108 peaks of Yunxiao.
The elder who came with him glanced at him and said, "I've been hinting at you to shut up, but you just keep on being stubborn. What's right and wrong, what's important, does Pei Yuzhi need you to teach him? It's my fault for not telling you clearly in advance. Fortunately, Pei Yuzhi didn't take you seriously at all, otherwise, if he didn't pursue your words, you would be in big trouble if they got out."
The young man in black robe still didn't speak.
The elder joked, "Hasn't your goal always been to surpass him? Now that you've seen him, have you given up?"
The young man in black robe said awkwardly: "Why should I give up? There are still fifty years before the next Heavenly Test. I still have time!"
The elder raised his eyebrows and snorted, "You are quite ambitious. I will wait and see your name on the Heavenly Ranking."
The black-robed young man clenched his fists. He had just formed his elixir, and was full of high spirits, pride, and lofty ambitions. However, this kind of youthful arrogance was shattered after he saw Pei Yu in the main hall of Tianqian Peak just now. It turned into dust and fell into the dust.
To be on the Heavenly Ranking List is probably every young man’s dream. The highest peak in the continent, the highest glory.
Just now, he was so close to the first place in the previous session, yet the distance between him and him was like a chasm.
After he said so many disrespectful words, the young man who was about the same age as him didn't even look at him. He just sat down nonchalantly. White clothes like snow, long sword covered with frost.
The elder secretly kept an eye on the young man's expression. When he saw that he was really shocked, he shook his head, comforted him, and sighed, "What are you comparing yourself to him? You are not from the same world."
The young man in black robe said, "Elder, please stop talking. I hope I can see him again next time, at the top of Wentian Peak."
The elder stroked his beard.
When he smiled, his eyes showed support and praise.
"Good boy."
Canghua continent, all living beings.
There was once a saying in Tiange that was all the rage.
When asked, "What kind of person is Pei Yuzhi from Yunxiao?", an unnamed female disciple from Yunxiao answered.
A person who makes people's purpose very clear.
The male cultivator's lifelong wish is to meet him at the top of Wentian Peak.
The lifelong wish of the female cultivator is to spend her wedding night with him.
Seriously, the dream man of billions of female cultivators.
But the dragon is hard to find its head or tail, and countless admirers have never seen its true face in their lifetime.
After everyone left, Pei Jing first taught the bird that dared to bite his hair a lesson and plucked out a few tufts of its feathers as a punishment.
"You've become quite courageous."
Chen Xu had a headache watching this, and he snatched the squeaking little yellow bird back, "Can you please consider the current situation first?"
Pei Jing stood up from the cold seat of the headmaster, blew away the bird feathers on his fingertips, and said, "Those old guys talked for a long time, but they didn't give any useful advice. What are you thinking about? Let's look for clues first. Why don't you tell me what happened in Zhongnan Peak?"
Chen Xu gritted his teeth, remembering a bunch of Pei Yuzhi's troubles in his mind, waiting for the headmaster to come back and complain.
"Something happened to an outer sect disciple from Zhongnan Peak. He didn't die, but he became stupid and his cultivation wasted."
Pei Jing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Where is he now?"
Chen Xu said: "I'll let the leader of Zhongnan Peak take care of it first and wait for you to come back."
Pei Jing nodded.
Walk towards the back hall of Tianqian Peak.
Chen Xu asked: "I remember you brought two disciples from the outer peaks with you this time?"
Pei Jing said: "Yes."
Chen Xu's eyes widened, and his voice became louder: "You just said that you and Yu Qinglian were investigating the demon! - Why did you take them out for such a dangerous matter? Where are they?"
The corridor of the rear hall is in the clouds and mist, and the scenery of Tianqian Peak is like that of a fairyland.
Pei Jing said: "Why are you shouting so loudly? They won't die no matter what."
One is more powerful than him.
One is the protagonist of the book.
Chen Xu only asked: "Where are they?"
Pei Jing said, "Ji Wuyou is unconscious and is now at Shangyang Peak. As for Chu Junyu." Thinking of his deception for so many days, he paused and said, "He was seduced by a witch on the way and could not come back. He died in the land of tenderness."
Chen Xu: “…”
He grinded his teeth in anger and laughed: "Of course, you are the head of Yunxiao Sect and you brought one disciple out but came back without one."
Pei Jing smiled: "No one is missing. Although I lost one, I brought one back."
Chen Xu: "...What?"
Pei Jing: "I brought you a nephew. Remember to be gentle to him."
Chen Xu was so frightened that he almost couldn't breathe. He grabbed Pei Jing, his eyes filled with horror: "You had a child outside? In less than a month, Pei Yuzhi, are you a human? You are the one who was bewitched by the witch! Master is not here, and you are not even a human? You are crazy."
Pei Jing was angry and amused, and slapped Chen Xu's hand away, "Who do you think I am? I just met someone outside-"
He didn't finish his words.
At the end of the cloud corridor, a man's low and casual voice was heard.
"What did you admit?"
The green curtains sway, the corridors stand in the clouds, it is shrouded in mist, and oleanders are in bloom as the road winds around the mountain. They are pretty and graceful outside the corridors, poking out their branches.
He met the bloodshot eyes of the silver-haired young man.
Pei Jing was stunned, feeling at a loss and embarrassed for a moment.
"What did you admit?"
Chu Junyu asked again.
"..." Pei Jing didn't dare to make Chu Junyu angry. While Chen Xu was also attracted by Chu Junyu's attention, he changed his words in time, especially vaguely, and whispered like a hum.
"I found a brother."
The author has something to say: Well...
