With Yan Chihuo's company, crossing the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range became very easy. After several days of travel, Yang Qi and his companions directly crossed the Northern Wilderness and returned to the Great Chu Empire.
In a restaurant in Yunzhou City.
"I'm finally back." Yang Qi looked at the slightly familiar street and said with emotion.
He almost died in the Great Zhou Empire before. Now that he returned to the Great Chu Empire and saw the familiar scenery, he couldn't help but feel some emotional recollection.
"Come to think of it, I haven't been to Yunzhou City for many years." Yan Chihuo said slowly.
Yunzhou City is an ancient city that has existed since ancient times. Even hundreds of years of changes have not been that big. Yan Chihuo naturally would not feel that there have been many changes in just a few decades.
"Senior Brother, you seem to be particularly familiar with Yunzhou City?" Yang Qi was stunned, and looked at Yan Chihuo in surprise. He sensed something different from Yan Chihuo's tone.
“Come to think of it, I lived here back then, but later some changes happened in my family, so I had to flee to other counties. Later, by chance, I became the master’s disciple.” Yan Chihuo said lightly.
I see.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. No wonder he felt that Yan Chihuo was particularly familiar with Yunzhou City. It turned out that he lived in Yunzhou City back then. Although he didn't know what changes Yan Chihuo's family had experienced back then, with Yan Chihuo's current strength, the family grudges back then might have been settled long ago.
Yang Qi and his companion did not stay in Yunzhou City for too long. He originally thought that Tang Qin was still the commander of the city guards, but it turned out that the commander of the city guards had already sent someone else when they entered the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. Obviously, Tang Qin came to Yunzhou City just for training.
After traveling for a while, Yang Qi and his companions finally returned to Tianjianmen.
As soon as he returned to Tianjianmen, Lin Qingyu summoned him and Yan Chihuo. On the way back to the Great Chu Empire, Yan Chihuo had already sent a message to Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu naturally knew that it was Yan Chihuo who rescued Yang Qi.
Lingyun Valley, outside the palace.
Lin Qingyu's eyes fell on Yang Qi, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "Two-star Martial Honor Early Stage, it seems that you have gained a lot in the past month."
Only a little over a month had passed since Yang Qi left Tianjian Sect and returned, but Yang Qi had already broken through from the early one-star Martial Master level to the early two-star Martial Master level. Even Lin Qingyu was shocked by this speed of practice.
"It is because of some opportunities I encountered while traveling outside that I have achieved what I have today." Yang Qi said respectfully.
Lin Qingyu nodded slightly and continued, "I have already heard about your affairs in the Great Zhou Empire. I am glad that you can come back alive."
In the Great Zhou Empire, Yang Qi not only fought against the Feng family, but also fought against the practitioners of the Church of Light. Finally, he entered the Northern Wilderness and encountered a tide of beasts and the siege of the strong men of the Wuzhou Academy. If it were an ordinary low-level martial master, he would have died countless times. Yang Qi was very lucky to survive.
"Thank you for your concern, Master." Yang Qi said gratefully. He did not ask Lin Qingyu for help, but Lin Qingyu had already notified the strong men of Tianjianmen to help him secretly. Otherwise, even if he could come back this time, he would not be as relaxed as he is now.
"This is what a teacher should do." Lin Qingyu smiled calmly and continued, "In fact, during this period of time, it was Sister Yunlan who was most worried about your safety."
"Senior Sister Yunlan?"
Yang Qi was startled, a beautiful figure flashed through his mind, and then he fell silent.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but say, "From your appearance, you must have a lot of questions. You have been in contact with Gu Xingnan before. Did he tell you about his relationship with Yun Lan?"
Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had had brief contact with Gu Xingnan before, but as soon as he saw him, he wanted to kill him immediately and never explained his relationship with Yun Lan. Therefore, it was impossible for him to say that he was not curious about the relationship between the two. After all, the relationship between Yun Lan and Gu Xingnan was the root of everything. If he wanted to help Yun Lan, he naturally had to understand the reason.
"It is not convenient for me to tell you this. You can ask Yun Lan directly. I believe she will tell you." Lin Qingyu glanced at Yang Qi and continued, "No matter what decision you make, I and your brothers will stand by you."
"yes."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. Lin Qingyu had the strength of a half-step Martial King. With his support behind him, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel more confident.
"You have gained a lot during this period of time. It's a good opportunity for you to practice in the sect and calm down. If you encounter anything unclear during the practice process, you can come and ask your master at any time." Lin Qingyu said slowly.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, then respectfully took his leave.
"Yun Lan? As I remember, he should be the disciple of Lei Lao Mo?" Looking at Yang Qi who was leaving, Yan Chihuo, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.
Lei Yun has accepted Yun Lan as his disciple for quite a long time. Although Yan Chihuo has been traveling outside in recent years, he has also heard that Lei Yun has such a disciple.
"Yes, he is the disciple of Lei Lao Mo, but he has a close relationship with Gu Xingnan's Gu family, so this matter may be difficult to resolve." Lin Qingyu sighed lightly.
"What's so difficult about it? If anyone dares to bully me, they have to ask us senior brothers. At worst, don't we still have you, Master?" Yan Chihuo said with a chuckle.
"Fortunately, Yang Qi didn't see it, otherwise I wouldn't look like a senior brother at all." Lin Qingyu glared at Yan Chihuo, and then said helplessly, "They are still young, but I don't have much time left as a teacher."
Hearing this, Yan Chihuo suddenly fell silent. When they reached the Martial Honor Realm, they would have a lifespan of a thousand years unless they died unexpectedly. Yang Qi was hundreds of years younger than his senior brothers. In the future, he would have to rely more on himself. Unless his senior brothers entered the Martial King Realm, it would be impossible for them to protect Yang Qi for his entire life.
"Martial King Realm!"
There was a gleam of light in Yan Chihuo's eyes. Even though he had already reached the late stage of Nine-Star Martial Lord, he was not at all sure about the Martial King Realm. It was too difficult for him to enter the Martial King Realm.
During the ten thousand years when King Wu was in charge, it was difficult for a superpower to have two King Wu in the same era. You have to know that during that ten thousand years, there were powerful King Wu who personally accepted disciples, taught and instructed them.
On average, it would take more than ten thousand years for most forces to produce a powerful Martial King. Except for the occasional situation where two Martial Kings exist in the same era, the interval in between would be even greater.
"It's too difficult to enter the realm of Martial King." Yan Chihuo said bitterly.
“Among my disciples, you and Yang Qi both have the opportunity to reach the Martial King realm. Yang Qi’s talent is even better than yours. If you grow up, even if you can’t break through to the Martial King realm, my strength will not be inferior to yours.” Lin Qingyu said.
"Junior Brother Yang is indeed much stronger than I was back then." Thinking back to his past, he couldn't help but sigh. Back then, he wasn't as evil as Yang Qi. (To be continued)
