"Gone?"
The black-cloaked, white-browed man scanned the surroundings. The city walls were covered with bloodstains, and there were also many holes left by blades and spears. Below the city walls, there were a large number of corpses. It was obvious that Jiangning County City had just suffered a calamity. He couldn't help but feel shocked. "It is said that the Blind Swordmaster, Tie Wu, has already reached the culmination of the Emptiness Realm. He is considered a top-notch expert among those who have reached the culmination of the Emptiness Realm. He actually returned empty-handed? This Huhe — "
"Sect Leader Zhuge, this is my good friend who came all the way here," Teng Qingshan looked at Zhuge Yuan-hong and said with a smile, "I'll go back to my place to entertain him."
"Alright." Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled and nodded. "However, Senior Jing Yi, you must come to the celebratory feast."
Teng Qingshan felt slightly awkward when his teacher addressed him as' Senior Jing Yi. 'However, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Senior Jing Yi, it's all thanks to you this time." Elder Ni, Elder Yan, and the others looked at Teng Qingshan with respect and gratitude.
Of course, they were grateful to the Emptiness Realm Expert.
Teng Qingshan could only smile and quickly left the city wall with the black-robed, white-browed man.
*****
Gui Yuan Sect, Elder Wu's residence.
Two streams of light landed in the mansion and turned into two people. One was the white-robed Teng Qingshan, and the other was the black-robed Sword Sect's Sect Leader, Li Chao.
"Brother Li, please have a seat." Teng Qingshan led Li Chao to a pavilion not far away. "This time, I've troubled Brother Li to come all the way here."
"Haha." The Sovereign of the Sword Sect, who had always been indifferent, laughed heartily at this moment. "Brother Huhe, stop teasing me. This time, the Gui Yuan Sect was able to drive away Qing Hu Island. Although I came all the way here, it was useless. No wonder Brother Huhe dared to use the name 'Jing Yi' to provoke the Blind Swordmaster, Tie Wu. It turns out that you are bold because you are skilled. "
When Li Chao, the Sovereign of the Sword Sect, learned that Teng Qingshan was able to chase away the Blind Swordmaster by himself, he began to have some thoughts.
"Brother Li." Teng Qingshan hastily said, "I only had a breakthrough before the war … Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Little Jun to write a letter to the Palace Lord."
"Mm." Li Chao nodded.
He also noticed that Teng Qingshan's aura was different from the last time he met him. However, it was difficult to judge his strength through aura alone. For example, the aura of the Blind Swordmaster was black and chaotic. However, the aura of some Emptiness Realm Culmination Experts might be multi-colored. This was related to the comprehension of Dao.
Some people would first comprehend two or three Minor Daos, and then fuse these two or three Minor Daos to comprehend a Great Dao, such as the Dao of Life.
Aura could only vaguely determine a person's strength.
Li Chao exclaimed in surprise as he asked, "Brother Huhe, the speed of your improvement is truly astonishing. According to what I know, when you were in the Great Prairie, you had yet to step into the Emptiness Realm. It has only been a few years … … and I'm afraid that you are already very close to the Emptiness Realm Culmination."
"Brother Li, you can see how glorious I am now, but you can't see how miserable I was before I broke through." Teng Qingshan smiled and shook his head. "Because I don't have a master, I made a huge mistake when I broke through to the Emptiness Realm."
"Grave mistake?" Li Chao was startled.
"Yes." Teng Qingshan nodded and said, "I didn't focus on one Dao. I cultivated several Daos at the same time. Sometimes, I cultivated one Dao, and sometimes, I cultivated that Dao."
Li Chao said, "You shouldn't have done that! A human's lifespan is limited, but Dao is endless. If you split your energy to cultivate several Daos at the same time, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to complete one Dao by the time you reach the end of your lifespan. "
"I don't have a master, and no one to teach me." Teng Qingshan smiled and shook his head. "I cultivated blindly by myself. During the days when I was out at sea, I was completely focused on cultivating. I didn't even know what realm I had to reach before I could step into the Emptiness Realm. Hard work pays off, and I finally achieved Culmination in one Dao! "
"After achieving Culmination in one Dao, I realized that I had taken a detour in the past."
"If I had focused on one Dao, I would have saved at least ten years of time," Teng Qingshan said.
"Yes." Li Chao nodded in agreement. However, he didn't know that Teng Qingshan was lying.
Teng Qingshan continued, "However, there are gains and losses. My other Daos are all close to achieving breakthroughs. After I achieved one Dao, I quickly achieved a breakthrough in the second Dao. This time, before the battle with Blind Tie, I coincidentally achieved a breakthrough and comprehended another Dao. Fortunately, Blind Tie brought Gu Yong with him. Gu Yong has the highest chance of reaching the Emptiness Realm in Qing Hu Island. Blind Tie only has twenty years to live. To him, Gu Yong's life is more important than the destruction of the Gui Yuan Sect. Therefore, when he fought with me, he had to take care of Gu Yong. "
"Oh, I understand." Li Chao suddenly understood.
He had been very surprised. After all, the Blind Swordmaster was a famous Emptiness Realm Culmination Expert. How could this Foreign Dignitary Huhe be chased away so quickly?
So it was because of Gu Yong.
The Heavenly God Palace had a plan to attack Yangzhou. Of course, they knew Qing Hu Island very well. They knew what Gu Yong meant to Qing Hu Island.
"Since it's over, I won't disturb you anymore." Li Chao stood up.
"Brother Li, sorry for troubling you this time." Teng Qingshan also stood up.
Li Chao laughed. "What trouble? It's no trouble at all. When the Heavenly God Palace destroys Hong Tian City, I will have a lot of free time. You can look for me sometimes. You have a wife who acts as the High Priestess. She knows very well when and where I live.
"Moreover, my teacher also wants to meet you. When the time comes, you can meet my teacher as well," Li Chao said.
"The Sovereign?" Teng Qingshan was shocked.
Although Teng Qingshan had never met the terrifying person who founded the Heavenly God Palace, he was still very afraid of him.
In just a few hundred years, the Sovereign had created a foundation that was not inferior to the Mani Temple. In Teng Qingshan's opinion, the Sovereign of the Heavenly God Palace was probably ranked first in the Land of the Nine Prefectures and the Duanmu Continent!
"Yes, I must meet him when the time comes. I also admire the Sovereign very much," Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
"Haha …"
Li Chao laughed and cupped his hands. He then transformed into a streak of sword light and flew towards the north.
*****
The celebration feast that day lasted from afternoon until late at night. It was obvious that many people were very excited after surviving the calamity. Although many soldiers and disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect had died this time, it was not a serious blow to the Gui Yuan Sect. This was the best result they could have gotten.
On the morning of the next day:
Zhuge Yuan-hong and Teng Qingshan walked on the streets of Jiangning County City. Teng Qingshan froze the space around them so that no sound could be heard.
"Are you going to meet your parents?" Zhuge Yuan-hong laughed.
"Yes, I really want to meet them." Teng Qingshan nodded.
"Are you ready to say something?" Zhuge Yuan-hong asked. No matter what, in Zhuge Yuan-hong's opinion, Teng Qingshan could not reveal his identity yet. Actually, in Zhuge Yuan-hong's opinion, it would be best for Teng Qingshan to reach the culmination of the Emptiness Realm and obtain the Godly Beast, the Undying Phoenix. That would be the best time to reveal his identity.
"Calm them down," Teng Qingshan nodded and said, "They haven't heard from me for the past few years, and they have been very anxious and upset."
Last night, Teng Qingshan had been secretly observing his parents. He could see that his parents were sad for him.
After all, he had been away from home for more than four years, and there was no news at all. How could his parents not be worried?
…
At the location of the Teng Clan, the Gui Yuan Sect held a celebration feast last night. The Teng Clan also held a celebration feast last night. After all, the Teng Clan did not need to hide or flee. During the celebration feast last night, Teng Yongfan and his wife naturally came back to stay. They also had a place to stay in the Gui Yuan Sect.
"Sovereign."
"Sovereign." As soon as they entered the Sovereign Hall, many young men and women of the Teng Clan nervously bowed to Zhuge Yuan-hong respectfully.
"Hehe," Zhuge Yuan-hong greeted with a smile.
However, it was not strange that the clansmen on the way to the clan mansion did not recognize Teng Qingshan as Jing Yi. There were very few people in the Teng Clan who joined the army of the Gui Yuan Sect. That day, only Teng Qinghu and a few others saw Teng Qingshan fight against the Blind Swordmaster.
"Brother Yongfan." Standing outside a house, Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled and called out.
"Creak!" The courtyard door opened. It was Yuan Lan.
"Ah, it's the Sovereign. Please come in. Please come in." Yuan Lan smiled and shouted, "Brother Fan, the Sovereign is here."
"Oh, the Sovereign?" Teng Yongfan rolled a wheel with his hands and entered the courtyard.
When Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan saw Teng Qingshan standing beside Zhuge Yuan-hong, they were puzzled. Teng Qingshan's appearance was different from when Teng Qingshan first returned to the Gui Yuan Sect. He had the appearance of Jing Yi, so the two of them did not recognize him. However, they felt that the mysterious young man before them had an aura that made them feel close to him.
"This is?" Teng Yongfan asked with a smile.
"You are Brother Qingshan's father and mother, right?" Teng Qingshan said while suppressing his excitement.
"Yes, yes." Yuan Lan immediately became excited. Even Teng Yongfan rolled his wheelchair closer.
"You know our Qingshan?"
"How is Qingshan?" Teng Yongfan was fine, but Yuan Lan's eyes were filled with tears. There was no news of her son outside. As his mother, she was worried and expectant every night.
Looking at his parents, who had silver strands in their hair, Teng Qingshan's emotions became unstable. He suppressed his excitement and said, "My parents, yes, I know Qingshan … I have seen him before."
"Really? How is Qingshan now?" Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan were so excited that their faces turned red.
"He is doing well." Teng Qingshan nodded and said, "He is currently cultivating on a peaceful island overseas. He also asked me to tell my parents that Qingshan is doing well when I come to the Land of the Nine Prefectures. He hopes that my parents can take good care of themselves. "
Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan's tears immediately flowed down.
"That's great! My god, Qingshan is fine. He is fine." Yuan Lan's tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Why are you crying? The child is fine. Why are you crying?" Teng Yongfan shouted.
Suddenly, Teng Yongfan was stunned. He looked at Teng Qingshan hesitantly and asked, "Is Qingshan really on an island overseas? You … you are not lying to us, right? "
Teng Qingshan nodded and said, "Qingshan also told me about a fist technique he created. He said that if I practice this fist technique, you will believe him." With this, Teng Qingshan immediately took two steps back and performed the Tiger Fist. This was the fist technique Teng Qingshan gave to the Teng Clan.
Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan were so excited that they couldn't control themselves when they saw this fist technique.
… …
Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan stayed in Teng Qingshan for two hours. Then, Teng Qingshan couldn't stay any longer. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions, so he left the courtyard.
"Qingshan." Zhuge Yuan-hong looked at Teng Qingshan.
"I am fine." Teng Qingshan and Zhuge Yuan-hong walked side by side. "Teacher, I am going to accept a batch of disciples."
"Eh?" Zhuge Yuan-hong was stunned. He immediately smiled and said, "This is good news. Tell me, what are the requirements? Do they have inner strength? How old are they? "
"They don't need inner strength. They need to be youths under the age of ten who have no flaws in their muscles and bones," Teng Qingshan said.
They don't need inner strength? Zhuge Yuan-hong heaved a sigh of relief. There were many youths like this.
"Help me find one thousand," Teng Qingshan said.
Teng Qingshan believed that even if he faced the Blind Swordmaster, he would be able to protect himself with the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》. Therefore, the development of the branch of Internal Martial Arts was about to begin.
