"Sect Master!" Xiao He couldn't help but repeat it, making Xianyao laugh again.
Xianyao said: "You are a bit surprised today."
Xiao He also smiled, showing a little shyness, and said: "Today's things are indeed a bit overwhelming."
"Actually, it's nothing, because my father wanted to add another elder to the sect, so he chose among the sect leaders." Xianyao said.
"That's it." Xiao He replied thoughtfully. "Then...where do you plan to go now?"
"It's too dark. Let's rest here. Otherwise, if we encounter such a beast again, I can't guarantee that you can still subdue it." Xianyao said.
"It's okay. At worst, I'll feed myself to it and let you escape." Xiao He joked.
Xianyao didn't say anything anymore, but just rolled her eyes at him and fell asleep on the ground in the heavy snow. Xiao He looked at Xianyao, such a wonderful person with red lips and white teeth. After looking at her for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be moved. However, Xiao He kept reminding himself that the burdens on his body were increasing, and now was far from the time for the long-term love between children.
The strong wind stopped, and the sky above his head was as clear as water. In the deep sky, every star was clearly visible, which made people fascinated. Xiao He raised his head and looked like this for a while, then sat cross-legged, letting the power of nature flow through his body. Just now The large amount of energy consumed is slowly recovering at this moment.
In fact, Xiao He is also waiting, waiting for a suitable time and a suitable place to explore the secrets of himself. Now he is always on the run and has no time to retreat and understand the Tai Chi Mirror, the Dragon Valley Sword, and the more mysterious wine gourd. Therefore, when he heard Xianyao mention that Nihan Paradise was recruiting elders, he was a little moved.
Although, he was just excited. If they were really Sect Master-level figures, it would be difficult for him to break out of the siege with his current cultivation level. However, he was still very happy to go to Nihan Blessed Land with Xianyao. willing.
The next day, Xiao He woke up from meditation and adjusted his breath. When he opened his eyes, the stars above his head had completely disappeared under the light of the sky. The wound on his shoulder no longer hurt. The brocade cloth was still there, glowing with a faint blood color. The place where Xianyao lay next to her last night has been filled in by a night of light snow, leaving no trace at all. Not far away, Xianyao was busy doing something alone. Xiao He gently shook off the snow on his body, put on his cloak, and walked towards Xianyao.
After walking behind Xianyao, Xiao He saw clearly that she was burying her white horse. Xiao He didn't say anything, but just helped her silently.
"It has been with me for a long time, thirty years from birth to now." Xianyao said lightly.
Xiao He didn't know how to comfort Xianyao, but was reminded by Xianyao. Since that day when he was eighteen years old and ready to travel in the world, he met two masters, the drunkard and the demon. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. He is also a man who is nearly forty years old.
"What are you thinking about?" Xianyao asked when she saw Xiao He lost in thought.
"It's okay." Xiao He smiled sadly and said lightly.
Xianyao didn't ask any more questions and said, "Where do you plan to go?"
"The world is big, feel free to walk around!" Xiao He replied.
"Then you might as well accompany me back to the sect to see if you can help me conquer the monsters. I don't know how to thank you!" Xianyao said.
"This..." Xiao He said hesitantly.
"Just come with me and have a look. Father will definitely appreciate you, okay?" Xianyao asked.
"I have nowhere to go, so I'll just go with you!" Xiao He said with a smile.
"That's great!" Xianyao said with a sly smile, "I wonder if you can keep up with me." After saying that, he set up his flying sword and filed away.
Xiao He also smiled, set up the Taiyi Dragon Sword, and flew into the distance with the naughty daughter of the sect leader.
Although Xianyao was dozens of feet ahead, in the blink of an eye, Xiao He had easily caught up and deliberately slowed down so that he could walk side by side with Xianyao.
Xianyao couldn't help but sigh: "You have no sect and no sect, and you are young, but you have such cultivation. It is so enviable."
Xiao He smiled and said: "In just two days of meeting me, you have already lamented my cultivation several times."
"What state have you reached now?" Xianyao asked.
Xiao He raised his eyebrows and said: "I rarely pay attention to the realm, but yesterday I did peek into my Dantian. I think I have reached the middle stage of the out-of-body realm!"
Hearing Xiao He's words, Xianyao sighed again: "Your level is actually higher than that of my brother! I am also a few years older than you before I reached the early stage of Nascent Soul. I really don't know what you have experienced?"
This time Xiao He only smiled bitterly, but did not reply to Xianyao, nor did he mention to her the several ups and downs, life and death he had experienced in just over ten years. He just followed Xianyao's words and asked, "Do you still have a brother?"
"Yes." Xianyao said naturally, "My father gave birth to two brothers and sisters. My brother's name is Bingqi, and he is the young sect master of Nihan Blessed Land."
"That's it." Xiao He suddenly realized.
The two stopped talking and headed towards the Nihan Blessed Land sect at full speed. After flying for a long time, Xianyao said, "We're almost there." At this time, according to Xiao He's mental calculation, they were already more than 30,000 miles away from the Juliu River.
In front of their eyes, a group of mountains appeared, with peaks and peaks stretching for thousands of miles. Covered in heavy snow, no green vegetation could be seen, but cold rocks could be vaguely seen, with a hint of cold black among the white snow. In the center of the mountains, there is a magnificent palace. The outer walls are a dead iron color and are made of huge square rocks. Xiao He and Xianyao came to the palace gate together. Looking up at the tall city wall, it just made people feel... Depressed.
Xiao He sighed: "A sect that can lead a blessed land is really extraordinary."
Xianyao said: "What does this mean? There is a cave sky above the blessed land, and there is an alliance above the cave sky. It's just a small witch seeing a big witch." As Xianyao said, she led Xiao He inside, and the two of them walked in front of each other. Afterwards, there was no need for the guards to inform Xianyao. It was as if Xianyao was in a deserted place. When the door opened, Xiao He did not say much and followed Xianyao through three gates in the thick city wall and long doorway. The vision suddenly became clearer.
In fact, at this time, a disciple also came to the main hall to report: "Sect Master, the lady is back."
Ling Di, the sect master of Nihan Blessed Land, and his son Bingqi were discussing the recruitment of elders. Their faces were serious. However, after hearing the disciple's report, they still smiled and walked out of the main hall together to welcome the apple of their eyes.
Seeing Emperor Ling and Bingqi, Xianyao also smiled and said: "Dad, brother. I'm back, and I brought back a friend."
After Xianyao finished speaking, Xiao He nodded and said hello to Emperor Ling.
"Okay, okay! It's good to be back." Emperor Ling also nodded, and after finishing speaking with a smile, he began to look at Xiao He next to Xianyao.
"Sister, did you gain something from this outing? Did you catch the Snow Lion Roar Beast? Don't be so naughty next time and leave without saying hello!" Xianyao's brother Bingqi pretended to blame him.
"Who makes you and dad so busy that you don't have time to pay attention to me?" Xianyao said with a pout.
"Brother and father are busy with important matters in the blessed land. How about catching the Snow Lion Roar Beast?" Bingqi continued to ask.
"No..." Xianyao sighed.
Hearing what Xianyao said, Emperor Ling, who loved his daughter, immediately smoothed things over and said, "It doesn't matter. When dad is done with this period of time, I will help you catch a more powerful monster."
After Emperor Ling finished speaking, Xianyao showed a mischievous smile. With a thought, a Tian Xue Lin lion beast appeared in the square in front of the main hall of the sect, causing the surrounding disciples to open their mouths in surprise. Even Ling Di and Bingqi could not hide their surprised expressions. Bingqi couldn't help but said with concern: "Oh my god, how did you catch it? It's so lifeless."
"I didn't expect to meet it. With my cultivation, I originally just wanted to catch a Snow Lion Roar Beast, but I didn't want to meet it. I almost died in its hands. It was Xiao He who surrendered. , saved my life." As Xianyao spoke, she pulled Xiao He to her side.
"Oh?" Hearing what his daughter said, Emperor Ling couldn't help but look at Xiao He more seriously.
"He is only thirty years old this year and has only been practicing for more than ten years." Xianyao said, with a bit of pride in his expression for some unknown reason.
"This makes me a little impressed." Emperor Ling said.
Xiao He smiled slightly in return, without saying much.
"Father, let's go to the main hall to talk." Bingqi said, and looked at Xiao He seriously, looking thoughtful in his heart.
"Okay, okay." Emperor Ling responded.
A group of four people took their seats in the main hall. Xianyao said, "Dad, brother, how are you preparing to recruit elders?"
When this matter was brought up, Emperor Ling and Bingqi looked sad. Bingqi said: "This matter is still a bit troublesome."
"Why, no one came to run for election?" Xianyao said.
Bingqi nodded and said: "This is somewhat different from recruiting disciples. Those powerful sects and sect leaders all think highly of themselves and are unwilling to lower their status to come and stand for election. The people who come are all rabble. What’s more, this time we hope to recruit elders from among the newcomers who have been practicing for less than a hundred years, so there are very few people in the blessed land who can agree with my father.”
"So that's it." Xianyao nodded, having her own plan in mind.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, junior, why do elders of a sect have to be born from the younger generation who have less training?" Xiao He couldn't help but ask.
Xianyao opened her mouth and replied: "Father feels that the day of seclusion is approaching, and is ready to let my brother take the position of sect leader, so..."
Xiao He nodded and understood the intention. This must be because he was afraid that the three previous elders would disobey discipline after he retreated and become more successful than his master, so he began to choose confidants for his son to ensure that he would retreat. After that, the sect remained stable.
"When will dad go into seclusion?" Xianyao asked instead.
"There is still a body-protecting elixir left, and I have already asked the alchemy room. They have tested many times, but no elixir has been produced. Due to the limited raw materials left, the matter has been put on hold for now." Bingqi said.
"Can you show me the materials to this junior?" Upon hearing about the alchemy, Xiao He immediately became energetic and said.
"Oh? This brother Xiao He also has experience in alchemy?" Bingqi said, with a hint of joy in his eyebrows.
"It's just a bit of dabbling." Xiao He replied modestly.
"Father?" Bingqi turned to look at Emperor Ling and asked tentatively.
Emperor Ling also nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay to let my little friend take a look."
