The journey from Yueshan to Yunshan takes almost two days in total.
Along the way, Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan, who had just made another breakthrough in their skills, were much more at ease and spent most of their time meditating in the carriage to stabilize their state.
What surprised them was that Cai Jiansheng's wife, Feng Yuxia, had always seemed a little too introverted. She was very silent all the way, and she obviously seemed to be afraid of Li Yun.
Even while sitting in the carriage, she would glance at Li Yun sitting in front from time to time, with fear and panic in her eyes.
It seemed that the person sitting there was not Li Yun, but the legendary evil ghost of King Ming.
After slowly chatting with Feng Yuxia, Wen and Lu also tentatively asked about the situation of Yueshan Sword Village, but Feng Yuxia ignored him and told him that he didn't want to talk about it.
When he mentioned Li Yun occasionally, he was full of gratitude and grateful for being taken to Yunshan to meet Cai Jiansheng.
The commotion made Wen and Lu confused.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't have time to care too much at this time, and spent more time practicing and meditating.
Along the way, we occasionally encountered some bandits and thieves who blocked the road, but they were all defeated by Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan, who had greatly improved their skills.
After all, a seventh-grade mortal martial artist and an eighth-grade mortal martial artist are considered absolute masters even among the first-class sects in the world. It is just a matter of convenience to deal with some thieves.
At the same time, while staying at the hotel, they also learned through the chats of some Jianghu guests that there was already a huge crowd on Yunshan Mountain. The Qiyue and Sanjiang held a martial arts alliance together, and all the heads of the various families had already gone.
There are dozens of second- and third-rate sects in the martial arts world, and they also send their top experts to go there. They are confident and ready to directly participate in the martial arts alliance to compete for the position of the alliance leader. Most of them are to participate in the grand event and have a glimpse of it. The style of the martial arts leader.
However, the heads of the three major martial arts holy places, Shaolin, Wudang and Baihe Academy, did not come. They only sent elders and other figures to observe the ceremony and arbitrate by the way.
Even if a martial arts leader is selected, he still needs to be recognized by the three major martial arts holy places to be considered a true martial arts leader.
Otherwise, it would be equally unconvincing in this arena.
This is in line with Jianghu people's imagination of the three transcendent martial arts holy places.
Extraordinary and unconcerned with worldly matters.
Even the ten first-class martial arts sects of Qiyue and Sanjiang are like beings looking down from the clouds in the eyes of the three major martial arts holy places.
After hearing this, Li Yun became interested in these three martial arts holy places.
When the matters above the court are resolved, I would like to touch their bottom.
Two days later, the group finally arrived at the foot of Yunshan Mountain.
There is a town here, and its name is Yunshan Town.
Most of the people living in the town are residents related to the Yunshan Sect, or are relatives of disciples, or tenant farmers of the Yunshan Sect's fields, or are outer disciples of the Yunshan Sect who open restaurants and shops here. There are even some blacksmiths, tailors, and hatters who provide services specifically to the Yunshan Sect.
The largest number of people among them are still tenant farmers, horse farmers, vegetable farmers and the like.
It can be said that in these troubled times, every sect, especially the first-class sects, is a large-scale landlord plutocrat.
Through its own force, it can cover a place where the power of the government cannot reach.
There are only a few hundred households in Yunshan Town on weekdays, but in the past few days, thousands of people have poured in. Most of them are knights from all walks of life, from all walks of life, and it is very lively.
They are all here for the Wulin Alliance.
There are not that many guest rooms in the Yunshan Sect. Except for the top leaders of each sect, the others can only live in Yunshan Town at the foot of the mountain.
The carriage entered Yunshan Town and came all the way to the gate of Yunlan Peak, the main peak of Yunshan Mountain.
Li Yun got off the car and looked up. The entire mountainside of Yunlan Peak was covered by clouds and mist.
Quite a good place.
The Yunshan Sect disciples guarding the mountain gate were about to stop and ask questions, but Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan had already got out of the car.
"Senior Sister Wen? Senior Sister Lu? Why are you back?" The gatekeeper couldn't help but look shocked when he saw the two girls Wen and Lu.
Wen Xiaoxiao pouted and said:
"Xiaojiu, you are getting older and younger. Why did we come back? I am a disciple of the Yunshan Sect. Can't I return to the sect?"
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper disciple named Xiaojiu quickly laughed and said:
"I made a mistake. Don't blame me, two senior sisters. Don't blame me. Congratulations to both senior sisters on your safe return! I will report it to the leader right away."
As he said that, he turned around and ran towards the Yunshan Sect in a flash, with something strange in his eyes.
Wen Xiaoxiao turned to Li Yun and said:
"Brother Li, let's go up the mountain. This Xiaojiu is getting more and more rude. I will definitely ask the senior fellow from Desheng Hall to give him a lesson later."
He puffed out his chest and said proudly:
"Although I am young, because I am the direct disciple of the sect leader, I am also Senior Sister Wen in the sect."
Then he made a mischievous face.
Li Yun smiled slightly and walked up to Yunlan Peak with the two women.
Cai Jiansheng's wife Feng Yuxia, wearing a bamboo hat with a gauze curtain, took her two children and went up the mountain with everyone.
At the beginning, when they first returned to Yunshan, Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan were very excited and happy. When they met their classmates on the road, they immediately said hello happily.
But soon the two of them discovered something was wrong.
The disciples who met them all had astonished looks in their eyes, and even seemed to be avoiding them. Even the senior sisters with whom they usually had a very good relationship, they all said hello briefly and left quickly.
It's like avoiding the god of plague.
The mood of the two of them also slowly sank to the bottom. They didn't know what happened in the Yunshan Sect.
Li Yun watched coldly, but he had already basically guessed it.
Obviously, Ji Yunpeng has successfully recaptured the Yunshan Sect.
Originally, he was prepared to take action himself if Ji Yunpeng failed, but now it seems that there is no need to do so.
Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan's master Zhuo Buqun may have been imprisoned now, or simply dead.
Just as they were thinking about it, everyone had finished walking up the steps, and a magnificent group of buildings appeared in front of them, which was where the Yunshan Sect's sect was located.
At this time, many Yunshan Sect disciples were practicing martial arts in the sect's martial arts field. They were all startled when they saw Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan.
Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan also had a vague hunch at this time, and took Li Yun all the way to the door of the Yunshan Sect's meeting hall.
This is where the leader handles sect affairs, and Zhuo Buqun likes to stay here the most.
There were two disciples on duty in front of the door. They were startled when they saw Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan, and then they were about to stop them.
Lu Linglan's face was as dark as water. Without waiting for the two to approach, she gently pushed the hilt of the long sword, pushing the two men staggering back several meters away.
Wen Xiaoxiao immediately opened the door of the meeting hall and strode in. From a distance, he saw a man writing something at his desk, and immediately shouted:
"Master...uncle!?"
The man raised his head at this moment, and the two girls realized that sitting there was their uncle Ji Yunpeng!
The two disciples guarding the door rushed in. The leader pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and shouted loudly:
"This is an important place for discussion. No one can enter. I have disturbed the leader. Do you want to enter the execution hall!?"
The two Wenlu girls couldn't help but be stunned.
Leader?
At this time, Ji Yunpeng also saw the two girls, and couldn't help but be startled. But then he saw the smiling young man beside them, and was immediately shocked. He stood up with a "ooh" and strode around the table to reach the few people. before.
Just as he was about to greet him, he saw the man shaking his head slightly at him. Ji Yunpeng took a deep breath, looked solemn, and said to Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan:
"Xiaoxiao, Linglan, have you escaped from the palace? Since the assassination that day, many changes have occurred in the sect..."
Lu Linglan's eyes were slightly red and she asked Ji Yunpeng:
"Uncle Master, that day, did Master...did he deliberately let us die?"
The two girls were already smart. When they were in the palace, they had already thought of a lot under Li Yun's prompting. At this time, they connected many things together, so how could they still not understand what was going on.
The Yunshan Sect has changed!
Ji Yunpeng sighed, nodded and said:
"Yes, that day I escaped from the imperial prison and returned to Yunshan. The master brother held a banquet to welcome me, but he poisoned the wine and wanted to kill me. I told the master in front of all the disciples of the Yunshan sect. Senior brother asked for an explanation, the two of them had a life and death duel, and I was lucky enough to win by one point..."
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoxiao and Lu Linglan both understood what happened.
Although I had been mentally prepared for it, I still felt mixed emotions and sadness at this time.
Although the two of them were betrayed by Zhuo Buqun as abandoned children, they grew up practicing martial arts with Zhuo Buqun, and it was difficult for them to accept this cruel fact for a while.
Lu Linglan suppressed her sadness and introduced to Ji Yunpeng:
"Uncle Ji, this is... Mr. Li. It was he who saved us in the palace and we sisters were able to escape alive..."
Ji Yunpeng nodded and said:
"I'll have a chat with Mr. Li for a while. A lot of things have happened on Yunshan Mountain recently. I'll let Xiaodie accompany you and have a good chat."
Immediately, he called his wife Zhou Xiaodie over and went down to rest with Lu Linglan and Wen Xiaoxiao.
After everyone left, Ji Yunpeng and Li Yun were the only two people left in the meeting hall. Ji Yunpeng then knelt down on the ground like pushing a golden mountain toppling a jade pillar, and kowtowed to Li Yun:
"Ji Yunpeng, the last general, comes to see the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Li Yun smiled and said calmly:
"I love your life."
