In the meeting pavilion, Ancestor Mingyuan was sitting on a chair and sipping tea leisurely.
But as soon as he took the water cup from his mouth, he saw the black and white monk carefully took the tea cup, put it on the table gently, and then raised the cattail leaf fan to slowly fan the wind.
The sword-wielding man from before was not idle either. He was seen surrounding Ancestor Mingyuan, squeezing his legs and rubbing his shoulders. He was so busy that he couldn't help but feel happy.
Although the two of them were busy with their hands happily, their mouths were not idle either, buzzing in the ears of Ancestor Mingyuan like two flies.
Sure enough, Ancestor Mingyuan was finally annoyed by the disturbance, slammed the table, stood up, turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing Ancestor Mingyuan about to leave, the black-and-white Taoist priest followed him a few steps and said anxiously: "Sir, Master! Where are you going? Is the tea I made cold, or did he squeeze it hard enough?"
Ancestor Mingyuan turned around and glared at the two people with bruises and swollen faces. He was both angry and funny: "I don't have that much free time to spend time with you. If you are willing to waste time, just continue to stay here..." After saying that, he nodded. He walked towards the door without knowing it.
The two people behind them could not understand what Ancestor Mingyuan meant, so they threw away the things in their hands and followed Ancestor Mingyuan towards the distance, arriving at the back of the main peak.
Because this place faces the North Peak, there are few people here during normal times, so it is much quieter than the south side of the mountain. Ancestor Mingyuan stood for a moment, then slowly said: "Do you remember how long you have been away...Jiang Yizhuo, Xuanyang?"
"Sir, it's been twenty years since I returned to the sect master." The two of them blurted out without even thinking about it.
"Twenty years, just twenty years, you have developed your respective sects to the present level. I have to admit... I underestimated you as a master at the beginning." Ancestor Mingyuan shook his head and smiled.
When the two heard this, their faces turned pale with shock, and they both knelt down on the ground. There was no trace of pride on Jiang Yizhuo's face. He just trembled and said, "Disciple doesn't dare. If it weren't for Master's cultivation, how could I achieve what I have today..."
Ancestor Mingyuan also smiled bitterly when he saw the two of them looking like this: "What are you doing? I'm not blaming you as a teacher... If someone with a heart sees it, I'm afraid they will think that I am bullying others, and it won't sound good if it gets spread... Get up quickly Bar."
"Thank you, Master..." The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. They just winked at each other before standing up, and both saw a hint of cunning in each other's eyes.
The little actions of the two people naturally could not escape the eyes of Ancestor Mingyuan, but he did not care at this time. He just smiled lightly and said: "You come to me again and again, probably because of the matter of the withered old immortal."
Jiang Yizhuo and Xuanyang were slightly stunned, wondering why the ancestor of Mingyuan knew their thoughts before they opened their mouths.
"Master is right..." Xuanyang said, "Since Master already knows the purpose of our coming here, I won't beat around the bush... I wonder if Master can help us eradicate the group of monsters in the west?"
Ancestor Mingyuan did not answer directly, but asked: "Why do we want to eradicate them?"
"Because they...are monsters." The two of them didn't know how to answer for a while, but Jiang Yizhuo was the first to come up with a reluctant reply.
"If they are not from my race, their minds must be different?" Ancestor Mingyuan asked with a half-smile.
"Uh..." Xuanyang knew that this kind of absolute statement that drew too many boundaries could not be scrutinized, so he continued with an embarrassed look on his face: "I heard them say... this monster is cruel and violent and brings disaster to one side, causing unspeakable suffering to the people around it! The reason why we gather together is to do justice for heaven, so as to prevent this monster from becoming a disaster in the future..."
"As far as I know, this withered old immortal is just a bit naughty, but he has not done anything harmful to nature...and it has existed for 3,700 years. If you had wanted to take action earlier, why wait until now?" Elder Mingyuan Zu shook his head and smiled, "I wonder if the people you are talking about have any real evidence to prove their remarks?"
"This..." Jiang Yizhuo and Xuanyang looked confused, and for a moment they didn't know how to refute.
"The reason why I drove you out to start a sect in the first place was because I felt that you were strong enough and could rely on your own abilities to grow and prosper. But I didn't expect that you would use this opportunistic method to strengthen your reputation..." Elder Mingyuan Zu glanced at the two of them lightly and laughed softly.
What Ancestor Mingyuan said is true. Although their Sword Star Residence and Taiyi Pavilion are famous, they are still far behind the Jade Hu Sect, which has a rich foundation. If Ancestor Mingyuan hadn't restricted the conditions for joining the Yuhu Sect in recent years in order to give them opportunities, who else would be willing to give up joining the largest sect in the world and choose one of the lesser-known newcomers.
They themselves knew that they were invited by others solely because of the reputation of Ancestor Mingyuan. Those people just hoped to use them as a springboard for Ancestor Mingyuan to come out again.
But even so, this action can be regarded as an opportunity, an excellent opportunity to prove one's strength! As long as they can show their strength in this "righteousness for heaven", their reputation will definitely rise! So, how could they not be tempted?
"Master taught you the right lesson..." Jiang Yizhuo and Xuanyang's faces turned red when their thoughts were revealed, and they did not dare to mention the matter again.
However, Mingyuan Ancestor only intended to enlighten the two of them and did not criticize them. Then he changed the topic and chatted with the two about interesting things in the past, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
However, due to their current status and various problems, these two people really couldn't stay for a long time. Although they were reluctant to leave, they could only say goodbye and leave in the end.
When the two figures disappeared, Ancestor Mingyuan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, flicked his finger, and a figure fell down from the tree with a muffled sound.
"Zhao Lanlan, you are not tired." After glancing at the figures on the ground, Mingyuan Ancestor walked slowly towards the main hall.
The person called Zhao Lanlan was the master of the North Peak. Hearing what Ancestor Mingyuan said, he also grinned: "Ahem... Sect Master, don't get me wrong, I just happened to be passing by..." After saying that, he stood up hurriedly, Leave towards the North Peak.
Ancestor Mingyuan did not stop, and his voice faded away: "Although the attributes are the same, they are not suitable for him... Come with me."
The North Peak Master was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that the book he "borrowed" from the West Peak fell on the ground. He scratched his head and picked it up, then followed with a smile.
…
In the main hall, before Patriarch Mingyuan sat back in his seat, Beifeng Master moved a chair at random and sat across from him.
"The magic formula of Xifeng is mainly based on the five elements of fire, but you brought that kid named Hong..."
"Hong Buzhu!" Seeing Ancestor Mingyuan looking at him, the North Peak Master said quickly.
"Although Hong Buzhu is of the fire attribute, his fire attribute is very strange, and there are many differences from the five elements of fire! I once looked at this boy, and felt that the fire he controlled was comparable to that of the Red Ghost King. Divine Fire is very similar... It was you who brought him here in the first place, do you know his origin?"
The master of Beifeng shook his head, and then suddenly said with a look of disgust on his face: "At that time, I saw that this boy was being bullied and was very pitiful. I originally wanted to save him and sent him away. Who knew that he would still rely on Beifeng..."
"Really?" Ancestor Mingyuan chuckled, "Since you are so reluctant, I will hand him over to Xifeng. Although the five elements of fire are quite different from the fire of heaven and earth, you will not encounter any problems when practicing. Obstacle…”
"Ouch!" The North Peak Master originally wanted to show his dissatisfaction by pretending to be reluctant, but he was shocked when he thought that Mingyuan Ancestor would be so "upright" and jumped up from his chair with a loud sound: "Sect Master, This can’t be done! I’m a stupid guy, and if he goes to the West Peak, he will only hinder others! But he has a good temperament, so it would be nice to stay at the North Peak and be a helper for me!”
Ancestor Mingyuan laughed, casually pulled out a booklet from behind and threw it over: "I happened to see the practice method of Heaven and Earth Fire, and I copied it down when I had time a few days ago. You can take it."
The master of Beifeng thanked him repeatedly and carefully put the booklet in his arms, but the joy on his face could not be hidden.
"Don't forget to return the magic formula of the West Peak..." Seeing the appearance of the North Peak Master, Mingyuan Ancestor also poured a basin of cold water on him in time to wake him up.
The Beifeng Master smiled awkwardly and was about to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Sect Master, what about Jiang Yizhuo and Xuanyang... should we really ignore it?"
"There are some things that I can't decide. Things that are destined, no matter how you escape, you can't escape..." Ancestor Mingyuan smiled lightly and said, "You can go ahead. I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. During this time... I think... Ling, please help me take care of it."
"I dare not, this is what I should do..." The North Peak Master was flattered when he heard this, but because he had been entrusted, he could only say goodbye and leave.
When the North Peak Master completely disappeared from sight, the originally relaxed Ancestor Mingyuan suddenly became serious.
He turned around and raised it with one hand, moved the Five Elements Cauldron that was used as a painting basket behind him to the table, started rubbing it carefully, and said to himself: "This catastrophe of the Jade Pot Sect is indeed unavoidable. ...I just hope you can find a new master and restore peace to this eastern continent!"
Then, he threw all the paintings in the "painting basket" in front of him and burned them, and then sighed: "I'm sorry, Bai Ling, I'm afraid I have to break my oath!" After saying that, he turned into a green light, with a Walking towards the west with the Five Elements Cauldron...
…
In front of the withered cave in the western barren land, a green light suddenly fell from the sky. Immediately afterwards, countless monsters with ferocious looks and weird shapes surrounded the green light in the center, making a lot of noise.
There was so much excitement outside the Withered Cave Mansion that the people inside were finally alerted. I saw a monster beast about ten feet long and withered bones jumping out of the hole holding a black knife!
The moment it appeared, the group of monster beasts cheered for joy. Not for anything else, just because it was their leader, the withered old immortal, who appeared in front of them.
The withered old immortal's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the situation in front of him, and he directly raised his long knife and slashed at the visitor. Although this sword seemed simple, it caused rocks to roll and black wind to blow up in the daytime!
