Yanyuezong is located in a hidden valley at the junction of Cangzhou and Qiongzhou, surrounded by the sea on two sides and backed by mountains on the other. It was originally a place that no one cared about. More than ten years ago, Yan Wugui lived here in seclusion with his wife and daughter. He named this valley Yanyue Valley.
Yan Wugui was not supposed to leave seclusion until next month. When he heard that Yan Yueli had gone to the Trial Valley, he immediately left seclusion early and summoned Wang Yuanting back to the valley. When Wang Yuanting came out of the Trial Valley, he walked with a fan all the way, hurriedly and slowly, and then he caught up with Yan Wugui to leave the seclusion.
Under the gaze of everyone, a man over forty years old walked out of the secluded valley. His long black hair was spread around his head, and his gray hair on his temples showed signs of age. His slanting sword eyebrows and deep black eyes contained sharp light, and his slender and tall figure exuded a powerful aura that was arrogant to the world.
"Congratulations to the sect master for leaving seclusion."
Everyone saluted the sect leader and welcomed him back from seclusion. This man is Yan Wugui, the leader and soul of Yan Yuezong.
He is the leader of the Yan Yue Sect, a cold, arrogant, aloof and imposing figure. With his angular face and lightly pursed lips, he looks domineering, like a falcon in the dark night. His loneliness and determination seem to set him apart, exuding a powerful and indifferent atmosphere.
"Yuan Ting, did Li'er get into trouble again?" When Yan Yueli was mentioned, Yan Wugui's stern face showed a worried look.
Wang Yuanting nodded slightly and responded respectfully: "Don't worry, Sect Master, it's just a small trouble. The Palace Master is a little naughty at a young age. You don't have to leave the seclusion in advance."
When Yan Wugui heard Wang Yuanting's words, his face became even more worried. Wang Yuanting had always asked him when he would leave seclusion before, but now he persuaded him not to worry. Wang Yuanting has always been calm, but he has never changed so quickly. There must be a hidden secret...
"Daddy..."
Upon hearing Yan Yueli's voice, Yan Wugui was slightly startled, and then turned to the source of the voice. When he saw Yan Yueli running all the way, the longing in his eyes turned into tears, and he felt heartbroken. The stern expression on his face softened instantly, and was replaced by a fatherly smile.
Yan Wugui quickly strode forward to greet her, and said gently to Yan Yueli, "Li'er, what trouble have you gotten into again? Just tell the truth, and daddy will protect you."
Yan Yueli stopped crying and flew into Yan Wugui's arms, suddenly feeling very at ease. Yan Wugui gently stroked Yan Yueli's hair, looked at her with warm eyes, and whispered in his heart: This child has become more and more graceful. Except for her golden brown eyes, she looks exactly like her mother.
When facing Yan Yueli, Yan Wugui always has a fatherly smile. Although she often gets into trouble, Yan Wugui is full of care and tolerance for her. Yan Yueli was a special being in Yan Wugui's heart. Because his daughter lacked her mother's company when she was growing up, he was willing to tolerate all her willfulness and even sacrifice his own life.
"Li'er is very good, that's why she didn't get into trouble." Yan Yueli acted coquettishly, her little face wrinkled into a puffy bun, she tilted her head slightly and glanced at Wang Yuanting beside her.
Wang Yuanting understood immediately and smiled helplessly. He couldn't do much to help the palace master get into trouble this time, and it couldn't be solved by Yan Yueli's coquettishness and cuteness.
However, Yan Yueli's ability to arrive in time was beyond Wang Yuanting's expectation. It seemed that Sect Master Yan still held a heavy weight in her heart, otherwise she would not have been willing to separate from Ji Beichen. He wisely led the disciples to get up and leave, leaving the father and daughter to talk about themselves.
Yan Wugui watched Wang Yuanting leave, feeling very relieved. He knew that Wang Yuanting was a smart and capable person, and he felt most at ease with Wang Yuanting by his side.
However, Wang Yuanting has been hiding a lot from Yan Wugui recently. He did not report the news reported by the secret guards in time. For example, he did not send anyone to report their trip to the Trial Valley.
As Wang Yuanting was Yan Wugui's chief disciple, Yan Wugui naturally treated him much harsher. Wang Yuanting also respected and feared Yan Wugui on weekdays. Although the two were masters and disciples, they were more like father and son in private. Gui Ye was determined to let him succeed him as the next sect leader, and even acquiesced in Wang Yuanting's move to cultivate his confidants in private.
"Dad, I think you are thinking hard. You are not allowed to stay in seclusion for so long in the future!" Yan Yueli saw that Yan Wugui didn't reply, so she hugged Yan Wugui tighter and pouted her little mouth at the words of Yan Wugui who had been in seclusion for half a year. Feeling unhappy in his heart, he also took the opportunity to change his subject.
Yan Wugui kissed Yan Yueli's forehead lovingly, then slowly squatted in front of her and gently took her hand, saying sincerely: "Li'er, I know you must have missed her because Daddy has been in seclusion for a long time this time, but The Trial Valley is the trial place of the Cangxu Sect, why did you risk going there? Dad knows that you have your own ideas and determination, but I also hope that you can remember to protect yourself."
Yan Wugui said as he held Yan Yueli's hand, his eyes full of fatherly love and care. At the same time, he also sincerely hoped that Yan Yueli could understand his helplessness in seclusion. If he didn't go into seclusion and improve his skills, how could he compete with Huan Qianqiu who returned to Youzhou ten years later? He did all this to protect their mother and daughter.
Yan Yueli nodded obediently in agreement. She still didn't want to hide Ji Beichen's matter, but she didn't know how to explain it to Yan Wugui, so she could only tentatively say: "Dad, when Li'er grows up, Li'er understands that Li'er just has A very important friend is sick and needs the thousand-year-old demon pill from the Red Fire Demon Pearl in the Trial Valley, so he is risking his life."
The more Yan Yueli spoke, the softer her voice became. When she mentioned the word "friend", she turned away with a guilty conscience. Yan Wugui watched her grow up. How could such a little thought escape his eyes? He immediately guessed This "friend" is definitely not a simple person. You should go and meet him as soon as possible...
——
The Lihun Valley under the setting sun is particularly charming. Although the summer flowers have withered, the autumn leaves have just turned red. The crisp autumn air is the best time of the year. The Hantan courtyard on the mountain behind the Ghost Doctor Tomb is still as elegant and simple as ever. , there is a man in blue robe standing there like a stone statue in the courtyard.
Yan Nianxin and Lu Xinrui had already returned to the Cangxu Sect, leaving Ji Beichen alone, standing in the wind and looking quietly at the mountain path, looking forward to the appearance of the red dress.
"Are you a guest at the Ghost Doctor's Tomb?" A deep and rich voice came from behind Ji Beichen.
Ji Beichen turned around in surprise, only to see a cold and arrogant man staring at him. This man exuded a strong murderous aura and indifference.
I didn't notice his arrival at all, and his cultivation level was unfathomable. His strength should be on par with the head of Xuhai. Could it be...
Ji Beichen didn't have time to think about it. A wave of evil energy swept over him, and the man's cold voice sounded again, filling Ji Beichen's ears!
"When I return from seclusion, I will take away everything from you, even your soul will be refined into my blood blade, and your life will become more meaningful."
Ji Beichen immediately raised his head, and a blood-red double-edged sword exuded a bone-eroding coldness and stabbed at him without hesitation.
The cold began to spread all over Ji Beichen's body, making him feel that his life was about to expire. For a moment, he thought that death was close at hand. Just when the bloody blade was about to touch him, the Cangxu sword suddenly flew out of its sheath, killing this person. Under the crotch of the sword.
The stern man immediately retracted the bloody blade and asked blankly: "Who are you? How come you have this magical weapon?"
Ji Beichen breathed a long sigh of relief. Seeing that he had no intention of taking action again, he immediately bowed and said, "Junior Ji Beichen is a disciple of the Cangxu Sect."
"Are you Ji Beichen? Haha, it's been a long time since I remembered anyone." After the cold man said this, he laughed loudly again. His daughter actually missed Ji Yijun's son. What a wonderful fate!
"Senior Yan was joking." Ji Beichen didn't know the deeper meaning, but he had to let him reveal his identity before he could say anything else.
"Hmph! Since you recognize me, you should know why I came here today." The stern man is Yan Wugui. He just came out of seclusion the day before yesterday. Today he has time to come to Lihun Valley alone to see what Yan Yueli said. Who is "Friend"...
Ji Beichen took a deep breath, knowing that Yan Wugui was full of hostility towards him. However, Ji Beichen did not flinch, he just smiled slightly, with a trace of firmness and determination in his eyes.
Ji Beichen bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "Senior Yan, my sincerity towards Yan Yueli can be seen from time to time. I know that you are full of disdain for me, but I am not afraid of your doubts, just because I am sincere to Li'er. , nothing false."
Ji Beichen's voice revealed a kind of calmness and determination. He had already made up his mind when he was in the Trial Valley to face Yan Wugui with Yan Yueli, but he didn't expect that he would find him in person.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that the disciples taught by Master Xuhai would act so cheerfully!" Yan Wugui pursed his thin lips lightly, his slender eyes flashed with sharp golden brown light, and he looked at Ji with his powerful spiritual consciousness. Beichen didn't let go of any part of his body.
"Huh? You actually have a body of dual cultivation!" Yan Wugui was a little surprised. Although people who practice two kinds of skills are rare, there are still some. For example, Yan Mingxiu is a fellow practitioner of swordsmanship and spells, but swordsmanship and magic are two different practices. This method appears in the same person, which is the only one in a hundred years.
Ji Beichen did not nod slightly. He had already guessed the scene at this time. He believed that Yan Wugui should be able to understand the entanglement and helplessness in his heart.
Yan Wugui knew that the person who made him practice the Demonic Way was Yan Yueli, but he did not think that everyone could practice the Demonic Way. He immediately advised: "Cultivation is choice, one choice after another, but you made the wrong choice, the Demonic Way is not the same." Not for you."
Yan Wugui is a thoughtful person with his own values and beliefs. He believes that the devil is not an existence of evil and destruction, but a power and realm that transcends convention.
He believes that everyone has his own path and mission, and he chose the magic path because he believed it could bring him deeper understanding and power.
It is Yan Wugui's determination and fearlessness that makes him a "blood-eating demon" full of blood and mystery, feared by everyone!
"What did Senior Yan mean?" Ji Beichen asked puzzledly. No one had ever said this to him since he entered the demonic path.
Yan Wugui curled his lips. It was rare for him to have time to see people today. Since he was here, it would be better to explain things clearly to him.
He strode forward and got closer, once again carefully looked at the descendants of the Ji family in front of him, and replied patiently: "You are a person with a strong personality who is better at swordsmanship. A resolute person is often superb in immortality, and a self-centered person." It will be easier for people to develop their physical abilities, and it will be easier for those who are at ease to practice magical arts.
You have to make many choices on the road to immortality, and your character is shaped by the choices you make. If you give up your true nature because of one person's words, you will eventually go astray. "
