The purple light of the mountain-protecting formation on the top of the Qingyang Sect gradually faded and retracted into the purple life lamp in the main hall.
After that, the mountain-protecting formation that had been floating vaguely in mid-air for several years slowly shrank. This is the first time in several years that the Qingyang Sect has taken back the mountain-protecting formation and exposed its mountain gate to the sky without any precautions. When looking up at the top of the head, it seems to have become much clearer in an instant. The stars in the sky and the bright moonlight made all the Qingyang Sect disciples tremble in their hearts.
In the past few years, even if the mountain protection formation has been running, which consumes several times more resources than usual, Qingyang Sect has never put it away. In order to ensure that there will be no delays, Qingyang Sect is in charge of the Discipline Department. Elder Taishi even entered the formation retreat in person a year ago, in order to control the formation meticulously to prevent someone from accidentally taking advantage of it.
After all, with such a mountain-protecting formation, the Qingyang Sect disciples can feel more relaxed.
However, now that Fang Yuan has returned, an unexpected scene has appeared...
The mountain-protecting formation was put away, and the disciples felt a little more confident.
If Fang Yuan's return caused surprise and tension in the hearts of the disciples, then the moment when word spread that he was the leader of the Six Paths and lit the purple lamp of life, it made the disciples feel a little more hopeful. Wings, a little more looking forward to it...
But if that's all, it's still not enough. It's not enough to let them completely get rid of the shadow in their hearts!
Therefore, Fang Yuan took action simply!
Get rid of all the hidden nails around Qingyang Sect in one go!
This is a warning to those who are spying: "I'm back!"
It is also for the Qingyang Sect disciples to see: "I am not in vain!"
…
…
"Senior Brother Fang Yuan...he is really back..."
"Oh my God, it's finally over..."
"This... Elder Fang has such strength, even the great elders and sect leaders..."
As the large formation receded, the clear and clear night sky was revealed, and all the Qingyang Sect disciples suddenly came back to their senses. I don’t know who started, but suddenly there was a loud cheer, and all the Qingyang Sect disciples were all cheering. They cheered, and the fear that had been lingering in their hearts for several years seemed to disappear with the death of those nails, more completely and more cleanly than the dark clouds in the sky.
On the contrary, what arises is a strong and exciting impulse.
…
…
"This guy, a few years ago, was still learning swordsmanship from me. Does he have such skill now?"
On the roof of the Jade Fengya Spiritual Medicine Prison, Little Pepper Ling Hongbo hugged his legs and watched from a distance as Fang Yuan's shadow disappeared above the main peak. He slowly buried his head, especially the corner of his eyes. When she saw Junior Sister Xiao Qiao who was following Fang Yuan on the mountain, she felt a little complicated inside. She felt that she should be able to go over and have a word with her, but she was a little more separated.
"Junior Brother Fang Yuan, or we should call him Elder Fang Yuan now..."
Lu Qingguan, wearing bamboo sticks and mango shoes, looked at Fang Yuan from a distance under the stream of Xiaozhu Peak, sighed softly, and said to himself: "I couldn't see him before, but now I finally see him again, I really feel that he is the same as me." As I imagined, it really looks like that..."
"Does it really take someone with his will and means to reach such heights?"
Yan Ji, the true disciple of Shenxiao Peak, smiled bitterly and looked emotional.
"Didn't Senior Sister Fei Ling come back with him?"
On the west side of the Immortal Gate, on a cliff next to Xiaozhu Peak, Hou Gui'er, as skinny as a monkey, withered and insignificant, has been squatting there, watching the countless female disciples at the foot of the mountain cheering for joy. I found the satisfaction I once had, but the more I watched, the more I felt lost. I could only mutter silently: "You guys left together at the beginning, why don't you come back together now?"
After a long while, he said in despair: "She also promised to arrange a marriage for me..."
…
…
"This junior has already achieved such a level of cultivation..."
"There are indeed geniuses in this world..."
There are also some elderly monks on many mountain peaks or in caves, sighing softly.
"When he left the mountain, he was still a young boy, but now that he has returned, he has become such an unattainable big shot?"
It's hard to tell clearly whether these older monks feel more happy or more lonely.
…
…
"That's it, that's it..."
Elder Xiao from Ziyun Peak also quietly descended from the main peak at this time. When he looked up, he was filled with soreness.
Originally, on this day, all the elders and deacons were standing in front of the main peak because he was back, but now, no one paid attention to him anymore. Even when he came down the mountain, he didn't meet anyone paying attention to him. , but this made him feel unspeakable, and he vaguely understood a certain problem. His whole body seemed to have been chopped off by a knife, and he was swaying, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
"No wonder those people suddenly put so much pressure on me, forcing me to retrieve the life lamp..."
He raised his head, his eyes darting around with some absent-minded thoughts.
Since the sect leader can know in advance that this child has become famous in Zhongzhou and has taken away the disappearance of the leader of the Six Paths, then it is impossible for the Yinshan Sect, and even the Yue Wangting, not to get it. They have probably expected that the Yue Kingdom is about to be in trouble again. Could it be that by putting so much pressure on yourself at this last moment, you were just trying to get yourself into trouble and cause more chaos to the Qingyang Sect
"In the eyes of those people, my life is not worth killing. Is it just worth causing chaos in the end?"
He thought bitterly: "But, since the sect master knew that the boy had won the title of Six Paths and guessed that he would come back in the near future, why didn't he tell me the news when I wanted to leave? , to save me?"
The more I thought about it, the more bitter I became: "Does he think I'm not worth keeping?"
"... Or does he really want me to leave?"
“…”
“…”
The lost Elder Xiao slowly walked to the edge of the Ziyun Peak Mountain cliff. There were still nearly a hundred disciples in different robes waiting here. There were some deacons who had followed him for decades and were effective at doing things, and some. The true disciples he had carefully cultivated, and many of whom were elite disciples that Ziyun had painstakingly cultivated for so many years, all looked at him with complicated expressions.
In the past six months, I don’t know how many family members or relatives of these disciples have found him who was practicing alone outside to avoid trouble. I hope he can come forward, thinking of the relationship between master and disciple, and come back to rescue these disciples. Let's take them out of the mountains...
It can be said that when he came back this time, in addition to the increased pressure from the outside, the pleading of these people was also part of the reason.
And after he decided to leave, the number of disciples in Ziyun Peak increased several times.
These people are helpless and pitiful, waiting for him to return to the mountain, ask for the life lamp, and take them out of the sea of misery.
"Let's go, your life lamp is already in my hand..."
Elder Xiao lost consciousness for a while, then reluctantly came over, smiled a little tiredly, and said to the deacons and disciples.
But as soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became very depressing.
Whether it was the deacons or the disciples, all their faces became very embarrassed, even a little frightened. The eyes looking at Elder Xiao seemed to be a little disappointed, a little nervous, and what's more, they seemed to have a lot of worries. anger…
"Senior Brother Xiaozhufeng Fang finally returned to the mountain today, but we have to leave at this time?"
I don't know how long it took, but someone behind the group of disciples suddenly said something angrily.
It was this sentence that immediately triggered countless murmurs.
"That's right. Seeing that the hard days are finally over, do we want to leave now?"
"That would be too unfair..."
"Yes, it's so unfair. We survived when we suffered, but when we share the glory, we are asked to leave?"
There were more and more discussions, and the voices became louder and louder.
There is a lot of anger and injustice in it, as well as a lot of unwillingness.
After hearing these words, Elder Xiao was slightly startled and raised his head.
Facing his gaze, the voices of discussion among the disciples became much lower. Many of them did not dare to look directly at him and lowered their gazes, but some still looked straight at him, and there were even some among them. The anger, I don’t know who started from it, suddenly someone knelt down and cried bitterly: "Master, how can you be willing to let us go at this time? Please ask Master to take back your life!"
"Yes, leaving Qingyang Sect is the fate of the family. I have always disagreed with it..."
"Although I am a disciple of Ziyun Peak, I have never thought of leaving Qingyang Sect. Why did Master take back my life lamp!"
"Yes, if I go back now, the old man will break my legs..."
“…”
“…”
Listening to these words, Elder Xiao's expression changed, but he still did not speak.
He just looked at the person at the front of the group, who was the true disciple whom he had single-handedly taught. Elder Xiao looked at the worried face of the true disciple, and after a while, he said: " Yanshan, what do you say?"
The true disciple's face turned a little pale. He mustered up the courage several times and suddenly knelt down.
"Disciple... I also want to stay at the mountain gate. I beg you, Master..."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment and then said it: "Put our life lamp back..."
Elder Xiao looked at their faces and his heart slowly sank.
"Ha ha… "
After an unknown amount of time, he staggered and suddenly laughed.
There was endless mockery and irony in the laughter, just like madness.
Smiling, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
