Gu Chen headed northeast all the way. Although he was in a hurry, he still had to stop and go.
As the Ghost Sect moves south, the entire human world is in chaos. Wherever the ghosts and monsters go, people are always in panic, and more and more innocent people are victimized. Those ghosts don't know how to restrain themselves, and they are greedy for the anger of living people. Many places have become like a human world. hell.
In the past, although immortal cultivators and the human world were inextricably linked, they did not interfere with each other and the world was peaceful. However, now those ghosts do not know how to restrain themselves, and the immortal cultivators' power is slightly insufficient. Not long after walking, corpses burst into view. , there are still zombies causing chaos in some places, and people can no longer live and work in peace and contentment.
Some towns might be safe for a while if they are protected by immortal cultivators, but they would be difficult to resist if they encounter powerful ghosts. But if more towns fall under the control of ghosts, the living people and animals in that area will inevitably suffer disaster.
Along the way, tragedies happened frequently, and Gu Chen couldn't bear it after all. As long as he encountered a ghost that disturbed people and harmed people, the sword in his hand would inevitably be unsheathed, and ordinary ghosts in his hands were often unable to block a sword. .
In the eyes of those ghost cultivators, Gu Chen's name has become a thorn in their flesh as soon as it spreads. However, only a few ghost cultivators know that Gu Chen is the Kunlun Taoist in the past, but his Kunlun thunder method is even better than before.
Hurrying slowly, Gu Chen returned to Qingyang Gate.
This continuous green mountain is full of spiritual energy, and with the blessing of the spirit gathering formation, it can condense the essence of heaven and earth better than the ordinary cave heaven paradise, which is conducive to the cultivation of immortals. Qingyang Sect has become the number one immortal sect in the world of immortality after Kunlun. , with its great reputation, the place where the sect is located is naturally unusual. What Gu Chen couldn't figure out was that sitting in such a treasured land, what else could the Qingyang Sect be dissatisfied with, why they still want to keep an eye on Yuzhou.
Today's Qingyang Sect seems deserted. In the past few years, the disciples have gone down the mountain one after another to gain experience in the world and work with other immortal sects to resist ghost cultivators. Without them gathering around Qingyang Sect, this mountain range has naturally become much quieter.
Gu Chen didn't meet any other Qingyang Sect disciples all the way up the mountain.
Speaking of which, in the years since he left Qingyang Sect, he has not met Liu Zhen, Chen Ying, Xu Mushan and others. The world is divided into four seas and nine states, which is wider than imagined. Gu Chen often can't help but look into the distance. There are eight wastelands beyond the four seas. What kind of world is that? According to legend, what else could there be outside the Eight Wastelands?
It's too early for him to explore these things now, but as his cultivation level improves, Gu Chen feels that he will face these problems again sooner or later. When that time comes, where should he go?
Close. Close.
When they reached the top of the main peak, someone came to greet them. From a distance, Gu Chen recognized the person who was coming, it was He Jietong.
He Jietong walked up to Gu Chen and greeted, "Senior Brother Gu."
"Senior Brother He."
Although Gu Chen is not a disciple of Qingyang Clan, he is Qingyangzi's adopted son after all, and he has stayed in Qingyang Clan for a while. Although his status is a bit embarrassing, Qingyang Clan has always treated him like a distinguished guest, which can be regarded as It gave Qingyangzi enough face.
He Jietong was very polite to Gu Chen. The two of them were not familiar with each other, but they still exchanged pleasantries. He said: "After Senior Brother Gu came down from the mountain, he killed many demons and monsters in the world with his sword. His reputation spread far and wide. Even on Qingyangmen Mountain, it is often heard. Elder Your face is also glowing. You came back suddenly today. Something must have happened?"
Immortal cultivators cannot leave the human world even if they are detached from the world, so they always have eyes and ears in the human world. Sects like Qingyang Sect are even more eye-catching in the human world. Although it is not easy to grasp Gu Chen's whereabouts, it is not difficult. After all, Gu Chen's cultivation level is not to the level that Qingyang Clan can't handle it, so Gu Chen just smiled at these kind words. He also knew that He Jietong was just being polite and didn't expect this simple sentence to be enough. After detecting his tone, he said directly: "I want to go to Donglai Peak to meet my adoptive father."
He Jietong gave way, and Gu Chen walked to the edge of the rock and wielded his sword in the direction of Donglai Peak.
Watching Gu Chen walk away without being rude, He Jietong nodded slightly and walked back. However, he was surprised by Gu Chen's calmness and thought that Gu Chen would be angry when he returned this time.
Today's Qingyang Sect is too quiet. In He Jietong's opinion, it is even a little lifeless. Many fellow disciples have gone down the mountain. Over the years, there have not been many new disciples. With the entry of elite disciples such as Liu Zhen and Chen Ying, they have gained experience. , has not returned for several years, and today's Qingyang Sect's stone enlightenment has long been mediocre. There are no more amazing geniuses in the world. It is not uncommon to find nothing after enlightening the stone.
Gu Chen came back, like a meteor, which made He Jietong's mood turbulent, but that was all. After the fall of Kunlun, the world of immortality today is different from what it used to be. Gu Chen alone can't do anything in the Qingyang Sect. The person standing behind Gu Chen could make waves, but it was a pity that the person had already ignored the worldly affairs.
He Jietong looked at Zhenghuang Hall and couldn't figure out why Zhong Ding was suddenly pointing his sword at Yuzhou?
Now that the Ghost Sect is moving south, the East China Sea is showing up, the demon cultivators are unstoppable, and the world of immortality is in chaos. At this time, the Qingyang Sect takes the lead in provoking a dispute, and wants to compete with other immortal sects in Yuzhou. Is it really appropriate?
He Jietong often couldn't understand the leader's thoughts. For example, this time the sword was aimed at Yuzhou, such as turning forward to target Gu Chen, such as the persistence of the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue...
In the past ten years, Qingyangzi has been hiding in Donglai Peak and has not been interested in worldly affairs. Zhong Ding has also been quiet for a while. But now, He Jietong can faintly notice that Zhong Ding can't wait any longer and is starting to get a little anxious.
But he couldn't think of what Zhong Ding would do, and because of his status as the head disciple, he stayed in Qingyang Sect to wait for orders. On the one hand, his fellow disciples became famous after coming down from the mountain, and on the other hand, he hid under the tranquility. The impending storm put him under enough pressure. He practiced hard every day and mastered the three Qingyang Yuyan Jue taught to him by Zhong Ding, while waiting for the one who could rely on his own strength. The violent storm that cannot be stopped at all, the more I feel that it is approaching, the more impatient and solemn my heart becomes.
At this time, his mood was in a mess (just like the author). He Jietong could only head in the direction of Gu Chenyuan, which was also the direction of Donglai Peak, gradually covering up the vague expectation hidden deep in his eyes.
Donglai Peak has not changed much. It is just as deserted and shabby as when Gu Chen just left. But now, Luo Cheng is gone, Liu Zhen also went down the mountain after him, leaving Chen Yong, Ma Biao, and Liu Tangtang. People do chores on Donglai Peak. After all, they are servants here.
But in fact, there was nothing to do on Donglai Peak, so they spent their daily free time on cultivation. Now their cultivation levels have been upgraded to the Lingyuan realm, but they are still far away from the One Yuan realm. Small gap.
This kind of practice speed is considered very slow. Of course, in Gu Chen's opinion, it is like stepping on the same spot.
Qingyangzi sat on a stone chair next to the stone table under the tree, as if he knew Gu Chen was coming and had already made tea.
The fragrance of tea wafted over, fresh and intoxicating. Gu Chen could tell that it was agarwood tea, and it was of high quality.
"Father."
Qingyangzi pointed at the chessboard on the table and said with a smile: "You're just in time, play chess with me."
Gu Chen smiled softly, sat down opposite Qingyangzi, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then picked up the white teapot. When Qingyangzi dropped the teapot, he followed closely.
On the silent Donglai Peak, the sound of "pop" and "pop" chess pieces falling echoed. The father and son faced each other, staring at the chessboard intently. They did not do any unnecessary actions other than playing chess, but they only took tea and savored it. Quiet and good, just like before, as if the time apart has not diluted the short and simple memories of the past at all.
Chen Yong, Ma Biao and Liu Tangtang watched this scene from a distance with complicated expressions. They had never seen that kind of relationship between Qingyangzi and Liu Zhen.
