When Jing Jiu came out, Yuan Qijing was by the well.
The Sword Justice was not very tall, or at least not as tall as Liu Ci, but the cold and stern aura he exuded was frightening.
The disciples of Aoyama were most afraid of Yuan Qijing. Of course, Jing Jiu was not afraid of him, but he didn't like to deal with him either, so he hadn't seen him for years.
But after such a big event, they had to meet each other even if they didn't want to. So their reunion after so many years happened suddenly.
Neither of them was mentally prepared, so they didn't know what to say. The forbidden cave residence of Shangde Peak was filled with a weird atmosphere.
It was not until the Inherited Heaven Sword came to the cave residence quietly that the atmosphere was slightly relieved.
"Are you sure?"
Liu Ci's voice came from the opening of the scabbard.
It would be more convenient to use another method of voice transmission, and it wouldn't be as funny as the current scene, but it wasn't safe.
Liu Ci had to make sure that no one could hear the conversation between the three of them today.
Yuan Qijing said expressionlessly, "It's indeed the bloodline of the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom."
Liu Ci's voice came from the scabbard again after a moment of silence.
"What's her current level?"
"Not as good as you two."
Jing Jiu added, "For now."
If he hadn't been sure that Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing were powerful enough to suppress the Snow Girl, he wouldn't have dared to take the risk of bringing the Snow Girl back to Aoyama, no matter how many ideas he had.
The cave residence became quiet again, and it lasted for a long time. Then a sigh came from the scabbard.
The sigh was as simple as a hum, but its meaning was complicated or profound. Of course, both Jing Jiu and Yuan Qijing could understand it.
What Liu Ci wanted to say was, "Young Senior Uncle, you never went out before, but now you go out and cause trouble. You released the King Of The Underworld, killed the Old Dragon, messed up the Guocheng Temple, and now you even brought back the descendant of the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom. What on earth do you want? Do you want to see the end of Aoyama in our generation? "
Yuan Qijing snorted coldly and expressed the same opinion.
The whole of Aoyama, and even the whole of Chaotian, knew that the Sword Justice of Aoyama, Yuan Qijing, didn't like the Immortal Jingyang, and would sneer disdainfully whenever this person was mentioned, not to mention that he was in front of them that day. As mentioned before, Jing Jiu didn't like Yuan Qijing either. "Why didn't the few great demons of the Snowy Kingdom move away from the Sword Jail in advance?"
Yuan Qijing was displeased. "The notice was sent in such a hurry. It was already very urgent to arrange for the disciples to leave first. How could they have the time to care about other matters?"
Liu Ci's voice came from the scabbard. He quickly tried to smooth things over. "Stop arguing. Let's talk about what we should do next."
As the three most important figures in Aoyama, it was rare for them to gather together and discuss something seriously. In fact, there weren't many things in Chaotian that were worth their attention. The last time this happened was more than three hundred years ago, when they were discussing how to deal with the problem of Master (Senior Brother).
"We cannot let anyone know that Yukime is in Aoyama."
Yuan Qijing went on, "But those who should know about it must know it as soon as possible."
Though these two statements seemed to contradict each other, they actually had a deeper meaning.
Liu Ci uttered "hmm" in agreement.
Jing Jiu didn't agree with this suggestion, but he couldn't deny it considering his low Cultivation state. "It's fine with Tong Yan. The nun is very obedient," he said.
They should know what they should know as soon as possible, and they shouldn't know what they shouldn't know.
The Zhongzhou School was of course the latter.
This was the opinion of the Aoyama Sect all along, so there was no need to explain it.
…
…
In the nunnery hall of the Three-Thousand Nunnery outside Dayuan City.
Tong Yan pulled back her right hand, giving up the idea of breaking the formation.
The formation formed by the longevity lamps in the nunnery hall looked peaceful and tranquil, but it was actually very powerful. He had no way to break it based on his current Cultivation state.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at setting up the formation even though you can't cultivate."
He said this while looking at the old nun outside the round window. (Note: Last time I wrote 'Nun * * * * *', but it turned into an asterisk. I was quite speechless.)
The old nun smiled, and the wrinkles on her face deepened. "You should have guessed who set up this formation, and I'm just a lamplighter," she said.
Tong Yan stared into her eyes, and said in a calm but slightly pressured tone, "Aren't you worried that Jing Jiu's actions will bring disaster to the human world?"
"My lifespan is coming to an end. How can I care about what will happen to the human world?"
The old nun smiled and continued, "My Young Master told me that you are good at chess, so you must be good at persuading people. So this is the last time I talk to you. Please forgive me."
Having said that, she took down the lamp from the branch and walked toward the snowy lake.
If Tong Yan were to strike now, she could kill her easily, but what would be the point?
Looking at the back of the old nun heading toward the snowy lake, Jing Jiu wondered why Jing Jiu locked him up here.
If it were for the sake of the Green Sky Mirror, Jing Jiu could simply snatch it and leave. It was because Jing Jiu couldn't catch up with him, and he couldn't ask the masters on the Cloud-Dream Mountain to ask for it.
It was because of the Snow Girl.
Jing Jiu didn't want the outside world to know that the Snow Girl had gone to Aoyama.
What would he do with the Snow Girl then?
…
…
It was bone-piercing cold on the top of the Shangde Peak, and the ice and frost didn't melt all year round.
The deep well leading to the Sword Jail looked like a black hole in the snowy ground.
Usually, Yuan Qijing liked standing by the well and looking down at the bottom of it in silence, either recalling something or comprehending something.
It was unclear whether it was because of the Snow Girl or Jing Jiu, but he stood far away from the well today. After hearing what Jing Jiu had to say, he asked sharply, "Wang Xiaoming has seen the Snow Girl. What should we do with him?"
Liu Ci's voice rang out in the sheath, "I'll see if I can kill him on my way back from White Town."
Jing Jiu said, "The Sun Banner is a bit powerful, and he will be more cautious after this incident."
It was quiet again for a long time in the manor cave.
If the Mysterious Dark Church released the news, the Zhongzhou School and the Kunlun Sect would be able to guess that the snowman was the offspring of the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom, and then they would find out that Jing Jiu had brought him back to Aoyama.
The cold in spring in Dayuan City and the disciples of Aoyama were all behind closed doors. Anybody could tell that something was wrong.
Liu Ci suddenly said, "As long as we don't have any evidence, it doesn't matter even if we can guess it."
"That's right," Yuan Qijing said sternly. "Whoever believes the words of this devil man of the deviant sects will be the enemy of the orthodox sects."
Jing Jiu thought it was indeed the case.
If Zhuo Rusui were by the side and heard this, he would be amazed, thinking that what she said sounded so reasonable even though it was illogical.
Liu Ci continued, "I'll go to White Town to inform Cao Yuan and Zen Master. Senior Master, you go to Zhaoge City to inform the Emperor."
"What about me?" asked Yuan Qijing.
Jing Jiu was in a bad mood when he thought that he would have to go out again. "What you have to do is the simplest and most important thing," he said. "You have to persuade the Dead Dog not to tell this to your Master."
What he said was obviously emotional. As Yuan Qijing was about to retort, he thought that his Master had indeed escaped from Shangde Peak, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
…
…
The disciples of Aoyama walked out of their manor caves along with the ringing of the bell, the buzzing of the swords, and the orders. The peaks that were as quiet as the graveyard had finally come back to life.
On the stone beam between Shiyue Peak and Xilai Peak, the fog had thinned, and the dark figure had gradually revealed himself.
The Dark Phoenix walked to the edge of the beam while spreading his beautiful wings and looking in the direction of Shangde Peak, saying discontentedly, "I can't believe he brought such a person back … When Little Fourth comes back, we have to kill Jing Jiu as soon as possible; otherwise, we will all be killed because of him!"
On the top of Tianguang Peak, the Inherited Heaven Sword flew back into the stone monument. The slight vibration made the Round Turtle open his eyes slowly, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't come here.
Though the Principal Guards knew what had happened, the disciples of Aoyama, the elders, and even the peak masters had no idea what had happened.
The disciples of the peaks were discussing something in a low voice while looking at the sky, feeling bewildered.
The female disciples of Qingrong Peak were even noisier. The whole peak was filled with their chatter, which could even be heard outside the peak.
The Sword of the Universe landed on the top of Shenmo Peak. Jing Jiu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the noise on the other side, thinking that it was still the same after so many years.
Zhao Layue walked over.
Jing Jiu signaled her with his eyes that they would talk about it later.
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu had guessed that what had happened that day must have something to do with their Master or Senior Master; so they felt both nervous and excited at the same time.
The white cat walked out from the manor cave noiselessly; the bell on his neck didn't make any sound.
"Ada, nice to meet you," said Jing Jiu.
The white cat came before Jing Jiu and rubbed against Jing Jiu's leg, his eyes full of resentment, as he thought that he wasn't good at all. When Jing Jiu was not in Aoyama, these little guys didn't want to talk to him because of what had happened in Guocheng Temple, and Layue didn't even want to hug him.
Oh, and a little scoundrel dared to grab his tail; it was no different from bullying a cat.
It was then that Ping Yong-Ka came to the top of the cliff.
Seeing Jing Jiu's face, Ping Yong-Ka guessed that this was his Master, feeling very nervous. He wanted to kneel down to greet Jing Jiu, but he didn't know which leg to bend first, so his movement was a bit slow.
Jing Jiu didn't expect that there would be an outsider at the Shenmo Peak, so he glanced at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing knew that his Master must have forgotten about him, so he said, "Brother Ping Yong-Ka, come and greet your Master."
Ping Yong-Ka hurried forward and kneeled down to greet Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu remembered who this child was, so he signaled him to get up calmly. Of course, no one could tell that he remembered because of Gu Qing's reminder.
It had to be said that Gu Qing's ability in this aspect had reached the acme of perfection, and he was on the verge of reaching the acme of perfection.
Knowing that Jing Jiu had come back, the apes cheered and applauded; but knowing that Jing Jiu didn't like it, they soon dispersed and didn't come to the top of the cliff.
When the apes stopped crying, the neighing of horses came from the mountains in the distance.
The Shenmo Peak was getting more and more lively, and there were more and more people.
In this life, Jing Jiu's way of doing things hadn't changed, but his way of doing things had been adjusted. Starting from Liu Shisui and Zhao Layue, he had been taking in disciples.
Of course, he learned this from his Senior Brother.
Therefore, he was very careful not to have people like Liu Ci, Yuan Qijing, or himself among the disciples at the Shenmo Peak. But today, he suddenly realized that there were people with the surname Liu, Yuan, and himself on the Shenmo Peak … Why did he feel a little unlucky?
