It was as if he wanted to look through the sky.
Standing in the middle of the valley, the old man's bright eyes suddenly emitted a bright light as he pointed to the sky.
"Puff!"
Just a moment later, the old man suddenly trembled. He couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The light in his eyes dissipated.
The big formation in the valley under his feet instantly turned pitch-black.
With that mouthful of blood, the old man's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.
"Master."
A figure quickly flew down from the tall mountain outside the valley and instantly rushed to the old man's side. He supported the old man with a face full of worry.
"Two years, it's time for a comeback. It's time for the final battle."
With Qing Shan's support, the old man opened his mouth and said with a painful expression. Then he took a deep breath and added, "Send the news to the Sword Garret quickly!"
"But …"
Qing Shan didn't dare to leave, for fear that something would happen to the old man.
"I'm fine. Go quickly."
The old man sat cross-legged on the ground and urged.
"Yes."
Qing Shan didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately flew out and sent the message.
…
In the Sword Garret.
In the back mountain.
John Doe was cultivating and recovering.
In the wooden hut.
"What?"
The three old men sat cross-legged and looked at Qing Yun, who was standing in front of them to report. Their faces were full of shock.
"Is this true?"
Yuan Lao frowned and asked with a serious face.
"It's absolutely true. It's that person's personal disciple who came to report in person!"
Qing Yun also answered with a serious face.
"Two years?"
Elder Qian took a deep breath and said, "Time is running out. We have to improve the strength of the whole martial arts world."
"Protect John Doe."
Elder Qu squinted and said.
"Yes."
Elder Qian nodded and said, "We have to protect John Doe well. He's the only hope. Before that, we can not intervene in the fight between him and Nirvana. But from now on, his safety must be guaranteed. There must be no mistakes. Otherwise … the martial arts world of China will be in trouble!"
"However, John Doe's strength is not enough at the moment. He still needs a lot of growth."
Yuan Lao opened his mouth and said, "He has been cultivating in the Sword Pavilion for a long time, and it will only get slower and slower in the future. If he wants to improve his strength, he will have to go to other places to find his own fortune. This contradicts our duty to protect him!"
The three elders were in a dilemma.
This kind of feeling was really very complicated.
On one hand, he wanted John Doe to improve his strength quickly. On the other hand, he was afraid that John Doe would be targeted. Once John Doe died halfway, he had to find a new hope to fight against Nirvana Holy Master. However, time waited for no one.
What should he do?
"Elder Yuan, Elder Qu, Elder Qian."
Seeing how troubled the three elders were, Qing Yun, who had been standing in front of them, suddenly said, "I have an idea!"
"What?"
Elder Qian asked immediately.
"Shift the target of Nirvana away from John Doe."
Qing Yun frowned and said, "Although Nirvana Holy Master is offering a large reward for John Doe's whereabouts, even Little Holy Master is no match for John Doe. It is difficult for other members of Nirvana Holy Master to hurt John Doe unless the First Protector or Nirvana Holy Master takes action personally."
"Yes."
The three elders nodded in unison.
Indeed.
Although John Doe's strength could not compete with the current Holy Master, there were only a few top experts in the world.
Except for Nirvana Holy Master and the First Protector, there was no one in Nirvana Holy Master who could pose a threat to John Doe.
Even if there were more experts in Nirvana Holy Master in the past hundred years, it was definitely not easy to kill the current John Doe.
"That is to say, in the current Nirvana Holy Master and the First Protector, only Nirvana Holy Master and the First Protector can threaten John Doe."
Qing Yun continued, "We need to use an incident to divert the attention of Nirvana Holy Master and the First Protector from John Doe. In this way, we can ensure John Doe's safety and give him a broad enough space to practice."
"This is feasible."
Elder Qu immediately nodded and said.
"You mean, we need to find a substitute for John Doe."
Yuan Lao frowned and said, "First of all, it won't be easy to find someone who can attract the attention of the Nirvana Sacred Leader and the First Protector. Secondly, it won't be easy to find someone who can replace Wu Ming and catch the attention of the Nirvana Sacred Leader and the First Protector.
"I've already thought about it."
Qing Yun took a deep breath and said, "Now, only the three old men, me, and the one observing the stars know that John Doe defeated the virtual shadow of the Nirvana Saint Lord. I hope that this news will not be spread out, and even to the insiders. If anyone asks, just say that I won the battle!"
Hearing that.
The three elders were shocked at the same time.
They all understood what Qing Yun meant.
"You …"
Elder Qian looked at Qing Yun and frowned. He looked reluctant.
"It's okay."
Qing Yun shook his head with a smile and said, "Even if it is said that I defeated the phantom of Nirvana Holy Master, I believe this news will spread to Nirvana soon. Compared with John Doe, the news that I defeated the phantom of Nirvana Holy Master will definitely attract the attention of the entire Nirvana Organization and the high-level of Nirvana. In this way, John Doe will naturally be much more relaxed."
The three elders looked at each other.
They couldn't bear it.
"Qing Yun."
Yuan Lao stood up and said, "From the beginning, you have always been the first in everything you do. The position of John Doe should have belonged to you. We trained you ourselves because we couldn't bear to see this happen. Have you thought about it?"
"Yes."
Qing Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Elder Yuan. I know my mission very well. When I lost to John Doe, I thought about it for a long time and wondered if all my efforts in this life were in vain. In the end, I figured it out. My life is still there, and I still have to continue on my path. It's still up to me to decide how to go on this path."
"I've decided to do it for the stability of the Chinese martial arts world!"
Hearing that.
The three elders were quite moved.
Wu Ming was a proud son of heaven, and so was Qing Yun.
It was indeed very difficult for a favored one to do this, but Qing Yun did it.
The three elders were both moved and very pleased.
"In that case."
Elder Qian stood up and said to Qing Yun, "Then do as you say."
"Yes."
Qing Yun cupped his hands, nodded and bowed, then turned around and went down the mountain.
After Qing Yun left.
The three elders came to the edge of the cliff facing the sea of clouds outside the wooden house.
At this time.
John Doe was meditating there.
"Wake up."
Walking to John Doe, Elder Qian gently waved his right hand.
A gust of internal Qi swept over John Doe's body like a gust of wind, awakening John Doe who was recuperating.
"Three seniors?"
Wake up.
Seeing the three elders standing beside him and looking at him, Fang Qiu quickly stood up and looked at them. He cupped his hands at the three elders and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I have something to tell you."
Elder Qian said with a smile, "Your trial in the secret realm is over!"
"Hmm?"
Fang Qiu was stunned.
"According to my observation."
Elder Qian smiled kindly and said, "Ever since the end of the third secret realm trial, you've entered and exited the secret realm earlier every time. However, the benefits you've obtained have been decreasing. It's very difficult for you to improve now, right?"
"That's true."
Fang Qiu nodded.
The first time, he got the biggest benefit. His Dantian was slightly expanded.
The second time, his meridians were slightly expanded.
The third time, his entire body's internal Qi was strengthened.
Starting from the fourth time, the effect was minimal. Now, Fang Qiu was getting more and more proficient in fighting against the Nirvana Saint Lord's shadow. However, his own improvement seemed to have reached its limit. It was difficult for him to improve even a little.
"That's for sure."
Elder Qian nodded and said, "Your opportunity in the Sword Pavilion is over. It's not that we don't want you to stay, but it's just a waste of time and useless work if you continue to stay."
"That's right."
Yuan Lao walked up and said, "You still have a long way to go. You can't waste all your time in the Sword Pavilion."
"The world is big and full of strange things."
Elder Qian said with a smile, "In this world, besides Huaxia, there are many other secret places and a few ancient countries. It's very difficult for you to improve in your current situation. Even if you train in Huaxia Wulin, you won't get any benefits. Therefore, we hope that you can study in other ancient countries. Maybe you'll find a suitable opportunity and successfully break through to the Two Flower Realm."
Fang Qiu heard.
He nodded in understanding.
He knew very well that what the three elders said was very correct.
The three elders were not chasing him away. They just hoped that he could find opportunities in other places and improve.
"Thank you for your guidance these past few days, Seniors."
Fang Qiu apologized and bowed to the three elders.
His days in the Sword Pavilion were endless.
Moreover.
He would often stay on the top of the back mountain where only the three elders and Qing Yun could sit for a long time. The three elders would also think of all kinds of ways to help him improve. They would even take out a very small amount of mysterious jade stone to help him enter the secret realm to train.
All of this made Fang Qiu very grateful to the three elders.
"For the stability of Huaxia Wulin."
Elder Qian said.
He now passed on Qing Yun's words to John Doe.
Although he did not tell John Doe what Qing Yun did for John Doe, he really hoped that John Doe could remember this sentence. He hoped that John Doe could really go that step and become the person they wanted him to be!
"For the stability of Huaxia Wulin!"
Hearing what Elder Qian said, Fang Qiu nodded heavily and repeated this sentence.
"As for the seal in your body."
Elder Qian thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry about it anymore. Since your master left such a seal for you, he must have his reasons."
"Yes."
Fang Qiu nodded.
As for the seal, he had already gotten over it.
Anyway, the old master would never treat him badly. The existence of the seal was definitely for his good. Therefore, Fang Qiu was not worried at all. He was worried about the old master's injury!
"Take it."
Elder Qu walked forward, took out a token and handed it to Fang Qiu.
"This is the identity token of the Sword Pavilion. It represents the Sword Pavilion of Huaxia."
Yuan Lao explained and then added, "The sky is high and the fish is wide. You can go now!"
