"That's easy. Since Master isn't here, it's my responsibility as a senior brother to point out the right direction for my lost juniors!" A purple-robed figure quietly approached. His footsteps were calm and steady, showing the demeanor of a grandmaster. After two years, Mu Zixuan's cultivation was as unfathomable as the ocean, and there was an awe-inspiring aura between her brows.
Chu Bainiu had wholeheartedly studied medicine, and Mu Zixuan's reputation had only risen in the past few years, so Chu Bainiu did not know of this person. Because of this, Chu Bainiu was even more surprised. The young man in front of him was probably not even thirty years old, but looking at his deep and lofty bearing, he was already a rare expert. Secretly amazed, Chu Bainiu said to Ying Feiyang, "Is this the person you said would bring us out of the formation?"
"Yes, but I've changed my mind!" Ying Feiyang raised his eyebrows. Without seeing what he did, a wave of sword Qi shot out, heading straight for Mu Zixuan. "It's better to break the formation directly!"
The sword Qi came suddenly, but Mu Zixuan did not seem surprised. Instead, she reached out with one hand, her palm meeting the sword Qi.
"Boom!" When the palm collided with the sword Qi, there was only a slight explosion. Qi shot out in all directions, destroying the surrounding vegetation. Under the impact of the two's attack, the formation was instantly broken.
When the two brothers met again, they were testing each other.
"After two years, I have a whole new level of respect for you. Junior Brother's progress is really amazing!" Mu Zixuan slowly raised his palm. His eyes were filled with praise. After exchanging a single move, he had seen through Ying Feiyang's strength. In just two short years, Ying Feiyang was more than twice as strong as he was two years ago.
"You've reached a higher level, and you've gone one step further. Senior Brother's progress is even more worth looking at." Ying Feiyang's heart was also stirred. Different from him, Mu Zixuan was an expert close to the peak. Every step forward was filled with difficulties and dangers, but Mu Zixuan did not stop.
"However, the gap has finally been closed …" Ying Feiyang comforted himself in his heart. It was impossible for Mu Zixuan's advancement to be faster than his. The gap between the two of them was already shrinking. At the very least, if Ying Feiyang were to face him, he would not be as helpless as he was two years ago.
"It seems that you knew I would come?" After complimenting each other, Mu Zixuan said again.
Ying Feiyang said in a mocking tone, "Since you're the leader of the Righteous Sky Alliance, you should know what I've done on Kunlun Mountain. Along the way, I've intentionally used this face to pass by a few sentry posts of the Righteous Sky Alliance. If Senior Brother misses me, it's only a matter of time before he comes to find me."
Mu Zixuan smiled lightly, "Ha! I'm really curious about what you've done on Kunlun Mountain. Can you tell me? "
At this moment, a shout was heard. "What demon dares to destroy the formation of Qingcheng Mountain!" A few figures descended, and their white clothes fluttered. They were the practitioners of the Wanxiang Heavenly Palace.
"About this, I'll tell you when we get up the mountain. Now, it's up to you." Ying Feiyang ignored them and said to Mu Zixuan.
Mu Zixuan shook her head and went forward, "I'm the leader of the Righteous Sky Alliance, Mu Zixuan. I didn't mean to destroy the formation, please don't blame me."
"So it's Leader Mu! It's my fault for being blind! " The leader was called Fan Wujiang. He was of the same generation as Mu Zixuan, and they both belonged to the "Wu" generation. At this moment, he recognized Mu Zixuan and said, "May I know why you're here, Leader?"
Mu Zixuan said, "I took the liberty to come here because I have an important matter to discuss with Brother Ji. Can I inform you?"
"Ha, with our friendship with Martial Nephew Ji, there's no need to inform us. Just follow me up the mountain. But, who are these two?" Fan Wujiang looked Ying Feiyang and Chu Bainiu up and down, and asked cautiously.
Both of them were demons, especially Ying Feiyang. He had a bloody aura around him and looked like a demon from the Blood Massacre Sect. Why would he be on the same side as Mu Zixuan?
Mu Zixuan did not explain and only said, "The important matter I mentioned is related to them."
Mu Zixuan was now in a high position and his words carried a lot of weight. Fan Wujiang naturally would not embarrass him. He looked at Ying Feiyang a few more times in confusion, but did not ask any more questions and let them pass.
Qingcheng Mountain Forest was green all year round. The mountain peaks surrounded it like a city, which was why it got its name.
There were a thousand steps on the Pill Staircase and the winding path led to a secluded place. It was the Ancestral Court of Daoism and was very imposing.
Unfortunately, Qingcheng Mountain's Chang Daoist Temple had been in decline for a long time. Two years ago, it suffered an unexpected disaster and was almost exterminated by an unsealed evil spirit.
Now, the Chang Daoist Temple was empty. There was land but no people. Wanxiang Heavenly Palace was destitute and homeless. The two Daoist sects, who were in the same boat, joined together and lived in the Chang Daoist Temple.
Just as they entered the mountain gate, they met a girl holding a red umbrella passing by. Mu Zixuan hurriedly called out to her, "Junior Sister Zuo, please wait!"
The girl turned around and saw the girl holding the umbrella. She was beautiful with a slim figure and satin black hair draped over her shoulders. She looked like a fairy from a painting. It was Zuo Feiying.
It was said that suffering makes people grow. Ying Feiyang felt that this was true when he saw Zuo Feiying again. Zuo Feiying's eyes were calm and more mature than before. She was like a plum blossom in the winter. After the fall of Wanxiang Heavenly Palace, she became stronger and prouder.
"It's Alliance Leader Mu. Are you here to see Senior Brother Ji?" Mu Zixuan had been in frequent contact with Ji Fengming in recent years. Zuo Feiying recognized him and immediately understood his purpose.
"Yes. Where is he now?"
Zuo Feiying's beautiful eyes narrowed and revealed a trace of worry. "Where else can he be? The old place. I'll go with you … and these two are?"
Mu Zixuan said, "Let's meet him first …"
Zuo Feiying nodded and led the way. They followed the secluded path to the back of the mountain and arrived at a heavily guarded cave abode. There were three words carved on the cave abode – Celestial Master Cave.
"It's here …" Ying Feiyang recognized this place and his heart was moved.
Five hundred and eighty years ago, the first Celestial Master Zhang Daoling gathered the power of his followers and turned five thousand evil spirits into rocks to seal the Yin Yang Crack.
Two and a half years ago, the Yin Yang Crack was broken and the evil spirits came out again. They covered the sky and turned the Dao Sect's holy land into hell. Not long after, the Dao Sect's leader, Wei Wushuang, also mistakenly absorbed the Heavenly Decay Qi into his body in front of Ying Feiyang. He had no choice but to seal his body in stone. Ying Feiyang watched him turn into stone.
If one looked through the Yin Yang Crack, they would see the remains of the 28th Celestial Master Zhang Running buried in the River of Forgetfulness on the other side of the crack …
While Ying Feiyang was feeling emotional, Zuo Feiying had already opened the door of the cave abode and led them in.
Inside the Celestial Master Cave, there were two figures sitting opposite each other. One was now a stone statue. He used to be unparalleled in the world, but now he looked like a rough slab carved by a poor stonemason. Even his face could not be seen clearly. Where was the elegance of the 'Dao Fan'?
The other person sat facing the stone statue as if he was still listening to his teachings. Although only his back could be seen, it was needless to say that it was the first disciple of the Myriad Heavenly Palace, Ji Fengming.
"What a good Ji Fengming, as expected of the person who shone with my Senior Brother!" Ying Feiyang praised in his heart. Although Ji Fengming was just sitting casually, he seemed to have become one with the entire stone room, turning into a perfect formation that combined heaven and earth to protect Wei Wushuang's stone statue. The moment Ying Feiyang entered the stone room, he felt that he had stepped into Ji Fengming's territory.
"Junior Sister, Brother Mu, hmm? There are two more? "Without waiting for them to speak, Ji Fengming had already sensed it and turned around to look.
However, when he saw Ji Fengming's current appearance, Ying Feiyang could not help but be stunned. His face was pale, as if he had not seen the light of day for a long time. His chin was unshaven, his pupils had narrowed into a line, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. Because he had lost a lot of weight, his face had also become angular as if it had been chiseled by a knife and axe. He, who always wore a smile and appeared sunny and easy-going, now emitted a sharp aura.
However, Ying Feiyang quickly understood the reason for his change. The Myriad Heavenly Palace had fallen, his fellow disciples had died tragically, and Wei Wushuang had been sealed in stone. The Dao Sect that had stood strong for hundreds of generations was changing day and night. In this precarious situation, he had to rely on Ji Fengming to support the tottering sect and protect Wei Wushuang who had no power to protect himself. How could he not be mentally and physically exhausted?
When Ying Feiyang looked at him, Ji Fengming's bloodshot eyes swept across Ying Feiyang and said, "Brother Mu, aren't you going to introduce me?"
Mu Zixuan asked in return, "A few days ago, there was another internal strife in Kunlun. Do you know about it?"
Ji Fengming said, "I heard some rumors, but the Dominator hid the news, so there was a limit to what I could find out. I only heard that the Truth Temple had met with a disaster, and the source of all this was a snake demon called Lord Chi Yang …" As he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Ying Feiyang. "Could it be him?"
"Yes and no, the one who disturbed the Truth Temple was him, but his identity is someone else. He is …" Mu Zixuan was about to reveal the answer, but Ying Feiyang had already taken off his mask and said, "Senior Brother Ji, Junior Sister Zuo, long time no see …"
Zuo Feiying, "Hmm?"
Ji Fengming, "Ying Feiyang?"
Mu Zixuan, "How could it be you?"
The face under the mask was revealed, and the three of them gasped at the same time, each showing a horrified expression, but …
"Why are you joining in the fun?" Ying Feiyang looked at Mu Zixuan, who had a shocked expression.
Mu Zixuan's exaggerated expression disappeared, and she said, "The exciting task of revealing the answer was taken by you, so of course I have to compromise and pretend to be shocked. Otherwise, no one will support you, won't you feel embarrassed?"
Ying Feiyang rolled his eyes. He really did not know how to face this senior brother who was neither friend nor foe.
Ji Fengming also had a helpless expression, "You really know how to play …"
Mu Zixuan replied, "I saw you frowning all day, so I wanted to make you happy, but you don't appreciate it?"
Ji Fengming shook her head, "Thank you for the trouble, but I am not happy now. I can't be happy. "
"Oh? Really? I want to try. "Mu Zixuan pointed at Chu Bainiu," There is another one here, do you know who he is? "
"Hmm? Who is he? " Ji Fengming asked suspiciously. Ying Feiyang alone was already enough to shock her, and from Mu Zixuan's words, this demon's identity could only be even more extraordinary.
"I am Chu Bainiu," Chu Bainiu said, stroking his beard.
Ji Fengming's and Zuo Feiying's eyes flashed with surprise. Ji Fengming, who was usually calm, said with a trembling voice, "You … you are Divine Doctor Chu!"
"That's me!"
"It's really you, hahaha, I finally … finally meet you!" Ji Fengming could not hold back anymore, and her joy was written all over her face.
If one was infected with the aura of the Five Signs of Decay, he would definitely die. But if there was anyone who could overturn this rule, it would be Chu Bainiu. These years, the Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace had naturally searched for Chu Bainiu's whereabouts. But at that time, Chu Bainiu was immersed in the path of animals, so how could they find him?
But they did not expect that Chu Bainiu would deliver himself to them. Ji Fengming hurriedly asked, "Divine Doctor Chu, why are you here? Brother Mu, how did you find the divine doctor? "
"It's not my credit, it's his." Mu Zixuan raised her chin towards Ying Feiyang, then said to Ying Feiyang, "What happened to you in Kunlun? Now is the time. Tell me all about it!"
Ying Feiyang nodded and narrated his experience. However, he did not avoid suspicion. He hid the fact that Chu Bainiu had stayed in the Animal Realm of his own accord, and changed it to say that he had been deceived by the Animal Realm.
This experience was full of twists and turns, and involved many people. Although Mu Zixuan and Ji Fengming had found out some leaked information, it was only bits and pieces. At this moment, they were all attentively listening to Ying Feiyang's narration. From time to time, they would click their tongues in wonder. But after listening, they would frown.
"Bei Longtian secretly ordered the Six Paths of Evil Destruction. He wanted us to fight amongst ourselves, so that he could reap the benefits. What a good trick!" Mu Zixuan held her chin, thinking about the meaning behind this piece of important information.
"He built a Heaven Cleansing Altar in the Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace? What is Di Lingtian trying to do? "Ji Fengming was concerned about another matter. But she could not understand it, so she did not think much about it. Instead, she thanked Ying Feiyang, saying, "Brother Ying, thank you for bringing Divine Doctor Chu back this time. I can't thank you enough. I only have one sentence. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I will not hesitate to risk my life for you!"
Ji Fengming's expression was sincere and her words were powerful. Ying Feiyang hurriedly stopped her. "Senior Brother Ji, you don't have to thank me. Back at Ling Xiao Sword School, you gave me a chance to defend myself. What I'm doing now is just to prove myself!"
Back then, when Ying Feiyang was being condemned by thousands of people, Ji Fengming, who was the most qualified to criticize him, stood in front of him and asked for a chance to defend him. Ying Feiyang had always admired Ji Fengming, so how could he accept his thanks now?
He wanted to help Ji Fengming up, but Ji Fengming insisted. Ying Feiyang saw that Ji Fengming couldn't get up, so he said to Chu Baininiu, "Divine Doctor Chu, you've been curious about the Five Decrepit Deities Technique for a long time. Now that the opportunity is here, what are you waiting for?"
Hearing this, Ji Fengming returned to the main topic. She turned to Chu Bainiu and said, "Divine Doctor Chu, please help us!"
"The Five Decrepit Deities Technique? Let me take a look … "In truth, Chu Bainiu had long since been unable to restrain himself. Without saying anything more, his eyes lit up as he walked forward. He circled around the statue a few times, then gently tapped the statue a few times. Then, he put his ear to the statue and listened for a while.
At this crucial moment, everyone in the stone room was nervous. But Chu Bainiu stopped. After pondering for a long time, he finally shook his head and said, "I can't cure this!"
