The sudden impact caused the blood of the Shushan disciples to churn, and they all looked frightened.
The young man with a sword who stood at the front staggered a few steps. He mobilized his spiritual energy to protect himself and barely managed to stabilize himself. He looked up with a solemn expression.
At this moment, a young man stood in the center of the square.
The young man was dressed in a white robe and stood with his hands behind his back. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his jet-black hair fell to his waist. He wore a dragon-shaped jade pendant on his waist, which made him look exceptionally holy and otherworldly.
Looking at the messy square, Mu Qingxiao's starry eyes scanned the surroundings and finally fixed on the young man holding the sword.
The peak of the ninth level of the Tribulation Stage?
When did such a genius appear in the younger generation of Shushan?
Mu Qingxiao sized up the young man and narrowed his eyes. He said in confusion, "This is … Shushan?"
"I'm the 23rd Sect Master of Shushan, Xu Changqing. May I know who you are and why have you broken into the sect of Shushan?"
The young man with a sword who called himself Xu Changqing took a step forward and stared warily at the young man who had suddenly appeared and whom he couldn't see through at all.
Xu Changqing!
Mu Qingxiao was stunned. He looked at the young man again and found that his aura was a little unstable. It seemed that he didn't cultivate his cultivation base.
Wait a minute …
If he didn't hear wrongly, the young man seemed to say that he was the 23rd Sect Master of Shushan?
When he came back to his senses, he felt that something was wrong. He released his Celestial Soul Power and enveloped the entire Shushan. As expected, he couldn't find Old Man Qingwei's aura.
Mu Qingxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Changqing. He asked cautiously, "Is Sect Master Qingwei and the other elders here?"
Although Mu Qingxiao had vaguely guessed the answer, he still asked subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, not only Xu Changqing, but also the hundreds of disciples around them changed their expressions. They looked at Mu Qingxiao with complicated and strange expressions.
"Could it be …"
Xu Changqing frowned, and his expression changed slightly. He seemed to have thought of something, so he cupped his fists and said, "Excuse me, are you Elder Mu of the 'Wonderful Elixir Hall' that Sect Leader Qingwei mentioned back then?"
"Things have remained the same, but people have changed. When I stayed in Shushan, you were only in the Nascent Soul stage and were carrying out missions in the secular world. We had never met."
As he spoke, Mu Qingxiao's gaze swept over the surroundings. He frowned and said, "But Old Man Qingwei really dares to entrust Mount Shu to you."
In his opinion, Shushan was getting worse with each generation.
In the previous generation, Qingwei and the other four elders were all strong people in the Earth Celestial Stage. But now, although Xu Changqing was at the peak of the ninth stage of the Tribulation Stage, his aura was very unstable.
Clearly, he had used some sort of method to obtain this cultivation level.
In his opinion, it would be extremely difficult for the latter to step into the Earthly Celestial Stage in the future.
Upon hearing Mu Qingxiao's words, Xu Changqing's expression turned slightly awkward.
However, due to seniority, Xu Changqing was from the same generation as Sect Leader Qingwei. Speaking of which, he was still considered a junior, so it was natural for him to give a few pointers.
"Sect Leader Qingwei said that Elder Mu left the mountain to travel the world, so I'm afraid you don't know much about what happened in these years. Please come with me."
As he spoke, Xu Changqing gave a few instructions to the Shushan disciples and took the lead to rush toward Dubhe Palace. Mu Qingxiao followed closely behind.
After Xu Changqing and Mu Qingxiao left, hundreds of Shushan disciples instantly burst into an uproar. They looked at each other in dismay and discussed animatedly. They could all see the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
The young man just now was actually the previous elder of the Wonderful Pill Hall!
...
...
After leaving Shushan's practice field and following Xu Changqing, Mu Qingxiao arrived in front of a palace that exuded a vicissitude aura.
On the plaque of the palace, there were three flamboyant words: "Dubhe Palace".
Looking at the palace in front of him, a long-lost feeling welled up in Mu Qingxiao's heart. His early days in Shushan flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
"Zixuan, go prepare two pots of spirit tea."
Xu Changqing's voice came from Dubhe Palace. Mu Qingxiao came back to his senses and walked toward the source of the voice.
Not long after, after passing through the complex palace, what came into view was actually a bamboo forest.
Looking through the bamboo forest, there was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence in the middle of the bamboo forest. There was a small bamboo house in the middle of the courtyard.
He had been to Dubhe Palace before, but he didn't remember there being such a peach garden behind it.
He walked slowly into the bamboo forest. At this time, Xu Changqing was already waiting at the door. He said, "Please."
After taking their seats, Mu Qingxiao glanced around the room. There were obviously women's products. Combined with the conversation just now, it wasn't difficult to guess some things.
As expected, it didn't take long for an elegant woman in a purple dress to walk over with a pot of tea in her hand.
The moment she saw Mu Qingxiao, Zixuan's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. She sat on the left and poured tea for the two of them.
Xu Changqing smiled slightly and said, "Zixuan, let me introduce you. This is Elder Mu of Shushan's Miracle Pill Hall. He left the mountain to travel and only returned today."
"I've met Elder Mu once, so we can be considered acquaintances."
Zixuan glanced at Mu Qingxiao. She didn't have any sincere opinions about him.
Although the latter had taken away her Water Spirit Pearl, Xu Changqing had indeed taken the position of Shushan's Sect Master.
Furthermore, she was able to escape the fate that had plagued her for thousands of years. She was able to be together with her lover and get what she wanted.
"So you two know each other. Then I don't need to introduce you."
As he spoke, Xu Changqing looked at Mu Qingxiao and said in a serious tone, "Ten years ago …"
After nearly half a quarter of an hour, Xu Changqing condensed the events of the past ten years into a concise recount.
From his words, Mu Qingxiao learned that after he took away the four spirit pearls and left, the trajectory of the world hadn't changed much.
When Evil Sword Immortal appeared, the Six Dao couldn't do anything to him. The immortal sect suffered heavy losses. In the end, Jing Tian (General Fei Peng of the God World) turned the tide and killed Evil Sword Immortal in one fell swoop.
However, after Evil Sword Immortal's death, the Well of the Gods and Demons that Shushan Qingwei and the four elders had spent their lives guarding shattered. Without the five spirit pearls, the Well of the Gods and Demons couldn't be sealed.
For the sake of the world, the five of them used their lives to seal the Well of the Gods and Demons.
When they were about to leave, they each poured their vast and majestic immortal qi into Xu Changqing's body and entrusted Shushan with the heavy responsibility of protecting the world.
After learning the whole story, Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Perhaps the deaths of Old Man Qingwei and the others had something to do with her.
Seeing Mu Qingxiao fall silent, Xu Changqing said, "Before Sect Master Qingwei passed away, she told me that if Elder Mu returned from his travels, I could take over the position of Wonderful Pill Hall Elder at any time. I wonder …"
However, before Xu Changqing finished speaking, Mu Qingxiao took out an identity token and said, "Who's in charge of Wonderful Pill Hall now?"
