Iron Palm Mountain is no longer what it used to be. Most of the mountain collapsed in the war. The whole mountain is full of ruins and reconstruction is underway everywhere. There are fewer people, and it looks desolate.
It was afternoon, Yi Zhanying and others were waiting by the mountain path outside the forbidden area. After half a month's absence, a few strands of white hair had grown on his temples, and his face looked exhausted.
"What do you want from me?"
Jiang Yuebai came flying in the air and landed slowly.
Yi Zhanying looked up and saw Jiang Yuebai's original appearance. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are so beautiful."
Yi Zhanying had a sense of pride in her bones. Even though Jiang Yuebai had a higher level of cultivation than her, she was unwilling to bow her head and kowtow. She still wanted to treat him as an equal as before.
Jiang Yuebai didn't mind it, and was very relaxed when being praised, "I think so too."
Yi Zhanying raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I came here to thank you. Thank you for returning my skills and helping me to shock the inside and outside."
Jiang Yuebai looked at Yi Zhanying and asked softly, "You won't hate us because of your brother's affairs?"
Yi Zhanying shook her head, "I hate him more than you do. Back then, he forced me to marry Ning Heng, whom he carefully selected. I didn't want to at first, but later I gave in after his repeated lobbying and threats. I thought it would be a hardship, but I didn't expect Ning Heng to treat me so well."
"Ning Heng truly respects me from the bottom of his heart and treats me as a fellow Taoist. We practice together, train together, and travel together. He never deliberately lets me win during a sparring match. If he beats me and I get angry, he will patiently coax me and review the battle with me."
"Ning Heng is both a teacher and a friend, a brother and a husband to me. It was from him that I learned that true kindness is not the insulting domestication like Yi Zhengyang, not devaluing me to nothing and then telling me that he is the only one who will treat me well."
"It's a pity that I underestimated Yi Zhengyang's viciousness. He trained Ning Heng in the beginning just to wait for Ning Heng to form a golden elixir so that he could devour his golden elixir spirit and reach the late stage of the golden elixir! The day Ning Heng died, the brother-sister relationship between Yi Zhengyang and I ended. The worst thing he did was not to cut the grass and root it out, but to kill me as well."
Yi Zhanying's eyes were red with hatred that still lingered in them. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"I'm sorry for telling you these irrelevant things. Anyway, I don't hate you for destroying the Iron Sect. If you hadn't seriously injured Yi Zhengyang, I wouldn't even have the chance to kill him with my own hands. For this, Zhan Ying thanks you, fellow Daoist!"
Yi Zhanying bowed and Jiang Yuebai hurriedly supported her arm.
"I seriously injured Yi Zhengyang not for you, but for myself, so you don't have to thank me for it."
Yi Zhanying forced a smile and stood up straight. "I know you will leave soon. I wish you a safe journey. No matter how long the Iron Palm Realm can hold on, I will try my best to struggle until the last moment. I hope that one day in the future, I can see you again in other realms."
Jiang Yuebai took out a storage bag that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Yi Zhanying.
"In the past half month, I have found the specific direction to repair the teleportation array between the two worlds. However, there are still thirty-seven array diagrams that need to be tried and verified one by one. One of them must be correct."
Yi Zhanying's pupils trembled, and he looked at Jiang Yuebai in disbelief, "Can you repair the teleportation array?"
Jiang Yuebai took Yi Zhanying's hand and pressed the storage bag into her palm.
"You are the only one who can make these thirty-seven attempts. There is still some meteorite iron inside, enough for forty attempts. Remember, the foundation of the formation is very fragile. You can only try once within seven days. Don't rush."
Yi Zhanying tightly grasped the storage bag, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. This was his hope of leaving the Iron Palm Realm, and the hope for all cultivators in this world to continue to survive!
"you… "
Yi Zhanying didn't know what to say, words of thanks were too pale.
Jiang Yuebai smiled brightly, "This is just a piece of cake for me. If I make a mistake in the calculation and fail to repair it, you just don't hate me for giving you false hope. If it weren't for the fact that this matter would take too much time and I was worried that the seniors in the sect wouldn't be able to find us, I should have stayed to repair it before leaving."
Yi Zhanying shook her head vigorously, "That's enough. If it really doesn't work, then that's our fate."
"What fate? Didn't you just say you would fight to the end? Don't believe in fate. Heaven loves to bully those who accept their fate."
Yi Zhanying nodded vigorously again.
"Also, I have a small favor to ask of you. I have some friends in Dongyuezhou, and I hope you can help take care of them when you have the energy to do so. If the teleportation array is repaired and they want to leave, please provide them with a way out."
"Okay, I swear!" Yi Zhanying raised his hand with a serious expression.
Jiang Yuebai heaved a sigh of relief, and turned back to use the golden imperial edict to inform Guangling, Yan Hongyu and others that the spiritual energy in Dongyue Continent was no longer abundant. If they were willing, they might be able to come to the Iron Palm Sect to practice, and help Yi Zhanying at the same time.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you. Yi Zhengyang has a black tripod hidden in a secret room at the top of Iron Palm Peak. Do you know about it?"
Yi Zhanying's expression darkened, "I know, that's what he used to kill Ning Heng."
Yi Zhanying said, "It fell from outer space into the deep sea, and Yi Zhengyang personally spent two years searching for it before he was able to salvage it."
"Outside the sky?"
Jiang Yuebai frowned and thought, thinking about the battle between the powerful refining masters they encountered when they came here, or perhaps some other battle between the powerful masters that caused this tripod to accidentally fall into this world.
If that's the case, it would be difficult to find out the origin.
As they were about to part, Jiang Yuebai liked Yi Zhanying's straightforward and clear-cut character. He was afraid that it would be too difficult for Yi Zhanying to support the Iron Palm Sect alone, so he took out three each of the God-Hidden Talisman and the Turtle-Breathing Talisman, ten Five Elements Thunder Beads, and three Linked Thunder Talismans, and gave them to Yi Zhanying.
"If you use these things well, you can kill a golden elixir. Let's say goodbye now. We can have a long talk under the moon when we meet again."
Jiang Yuebai walked away in mid-air. Yi Zhanying caught up with him and shouted, "May I ask your real name, fellow Taoist?"
There were echoes in the mountains, but there was no response from Jiang Yuebai.
Soon, a green light shot straight into the sky from the forbidden area.
With tears in his eyes, Yi Zhanying tightly grasped the storage bag in his hand and said in the direction where Po Yunchong disappeared,
"Take care of yourself!"

After breaking through the inner space of the Cloud Breaker, Jiang Yuebai put the long-tongued ghost that she had just retrieved from Yan Hongyu into the Disha Pagoda bag. For this purpose, she made a special trip to Dongyuezhou, and also told Guangling and Yan Hongyu that they could go to Yi Zhanying to practice.
After hanging Xiaolu on the ceiling for lighting, Jiang Yuebai turned around and talked to Lu Nanzhi in a nonsensical manner.
Lu Nanzhi nodded and replied in the same gibberish.
Xie Jingshan looked at the two of them, confused. "What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand a word you say?"
"The ancient language of the demon clan." Lu Nanzhi replied in a deep voice.
Xie Jingshan was full of questions. "No, Lu Nanzhi, you have inherited the Ice Demon's legacy and I know the ancient language of the demon clan. Jiang Yuebai, when did you learn it?"
Jiang Yuebai raised an eyebrow and said with some pride, "I learned it in just half a month. Is it that difficult?"
Xie Jingshan was completely stunned, and his dead memories revived. He suddenly remembered the scene in Yinfengjian that year. He hadn't even read the book completely, but Jiang Yuebai had already memorized the entire book by heart.
"The difficulty of learning the Demon Clan's ancient language is second only to the Dragon Clan's ancient language. You learned it in just half a month?"
Xie Jingshan's voice was out of tune.
Jiang Yuebai snorted and laughed, then turned around and spoke to Lu Nanzhi in another strange tone, during which he also glanced at Xie Jingshan. Xie Jingshan seriously suspected that Jiang Yuebai was saying that he was stupid.
Lu Nanzhi frowned slightly and stuttered out a short sentence.
Xie Jingshan covered his chest and stepped back, looking unbelievable, "You... aren't you speaking... the ancient language of the Dragon Clan?"
"Yes, Anan has only studied for half a month, but he has already mastered most of it."
hiss-
Xie Jingshan took a breath and felt like someone was strangling his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Jiang Yuebai threw a book that Xie Jingshan had taken from the Dragon Palace. "If you want to learn, memorize this book quickly."
Xie Jingshan opened the book and took just a quick glance at it. He then felt dizzy and his head was buzzing.
"What are these? How can I memorize them if I don't recognize any of them?"
Jiang Yuebai ignored him and continued to release his clones, practice, check, and make plans for future practice.
Lu Nanzhi also began to comprehend the method of controlling sword energy in "Golden Snake Sword Palm" and remained silent.
Xie Jingshan was reciting the text with a sad face, but after a while, his eyelids began to droop and he felt drowsy.
