Xiaobai sent a spiritual eagle to pick him up. He was worried that he would be afraid of human Xiu approaching. Before he landed, Cheng Yan said goodbye to the two brothers and hid in the dark.
It wasn't until Lingying took the brothers and sisters away that Cheng Yan felt relieved.
"The dignified disciples of the Immortal Sect actually colluded with the demon clan!"
A sharp shout came from far away, and a sharp palm wind struck Cheng Yan's door.
Cheng Yuan dodged and was about to counterattack, but was shocked by the person who appeared in front of him.
Although her face is much older than before, she can still be recognized at a glance - Jin Zhuo.
"Senior Jin!" Cheng Yan put away the dragon bone whip.
Jin Zhuo snorted coldly: "It's useless to call me, senior. Today, I will clear the door for Xian Qi Sect!"
Hearing this, Cheng Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Senior, do you have any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding! You just released three demons!" Jin Zhuo glanced at the direction where the spirit eagle left: "I can see clearly what happened just now."
Cheng Yan hurriedly shook his head: "Senior Jin must have seen it wrong. The disciples saw the spirit eagle landing here from a distance and then pursued it. However, they didn't want to be slow and let them run away. The spirit eagle was extremely fast. The disciple’s ability cannot be traced, so I gave up.”
Jin Zhuo stared at Cheng Yan's face carefully and couldn't help but snorted when he saw that she looked aggrieved but her eyes were open-minded.
Cheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't do anything anymore.
Sure enough, as she had guessed, Jin Zhuo didn't see what happened before. Otherwise, based on her character, she wouldn't have watched Ling Ying leave.
Therefore, I just took the opportunity to deceive her.
Cheng Yan secretly took a look at Jin Zhuo. She was seriously injured that year and was in seclusion. She didn't expect to be released from seclusion so soon.
"Congratulations to Senior for coming out of isolation. I wonder if Senior's injury has healed?"
Jin Zhuo coughed: "This is not what you should ask. Tell me, why are you here?"
"This junior is naturally going to Yaoguang City to participate in the Honghu Demon Control Competition."
Everyone knew about the Demon Control Competition. Jin Zhuo glanced at her: "I didn't expect you to make such great progress. You passed the preliminary round the first time you participated."
"It's all thanks to the support of my teammates, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to successfully pass the test on my own." Cheng Yuan behaved particularly modestly and politely, which made Jin Zhuo's eyebrows relax.
"Now that we have met, as a senior in the sect, I will take you on a journey."
Cheng Yan refused without thinking: "Thank you, senior, but the junior and his teammates still plan to practice in the Liuhuang Mountains, and they don't dare to delay the senior's important matters."
"It's okay, I'm fine, I might as well see how you new disciples practice."
Cheng Yan didn't show it on his face, but in his heart there were a thousand grass and mud horses stepping on him.
What is Jin Zhuo planning?
"What, no?" Jin Zhuo's face darkened.
Cheng Yan also knew Jin Zhuo's temperament well. She didn't have much love for him from her fellow students, and anyone who wasn't afraid would take action against her.
"Of course not, it's just that the junior has teammates who are traveling with him, so the junior has to say something to them."
"Then why not lead the way!" Jin Zhuo said coldly.
Cheng Yan had a headache, so he sent a transmission note to Ji Qiuyu and others, and then hurried back.
…
When we returned to the small market, the people there had almost dispersed.
Ji Qiuyu and others received Cheng Yan's transmission note and were not surprised by Jin Zhuo's arrival.
"Junior has met Senior Jin." Ji Qiuyu and others saluted.
Jin Zhuo only nodded slightly in response to Ji Qiuyu and others, but his eyes were fixed on Ting Lan, who was tightly covered by a cloak.
Cheng Yan frowned and looked at Ji Qiuyu.
The transmission note she sent was to ask them to arrange for Aunt Lan to stay away temporarily. After all, as Aunt Lan was the former maid of the city lord, Jin Zhuo might not have seen her before.
"This is -" Jin Zhuo asked as expected.
Before Cheng Yan could answer, Ji Qiuyu said: "Senior Jin, this is the mother of our teammate Wu Zhan, but she was injured before and cannot see the light of day."
"Why is the injury so serious?" Jin Zhuo took a step forward.
Wu Zhan quickly stopped in front of Ting Lan: "What do you want to do?"
"Presumptuous!" Jin Zhuo shouted coldly, and Cheng Yan quickly stopped in front of her: "Senior, I forgot to introduce you, this is Wu Zhan. Wu Zhan is young and ignorant. If he offends senior, please don't blame me. "
"Senior Jin, we have to participate in the Honghu Competition to win glory for the sect. I remember that senior was one of the few people from the Xianqi Sect who was able to participate in the finals in Central Continent. Today I am honored to meet senior, and I hope that senior will not hesitate to teach me." Yan Yan Chu said, stepping forward and pulling Jin Zhuo over in a friendly manner: "Senior, my mother would be very happy if she knew we could get guidance from senior."
Mentioning the city lord, Jin Zhuo restrained his momentum and said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing, as long as you practice diligently..."
Jin Zhuo and Yan Chu walked forward.
Cheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief and let Ting Lan fall one step behind, with Wu Zhan and Jiang Tu taking care of her. She followed with Ji Qiuyu.
As a third-grade demon master, Jin Zhuo has his own experience in cultivation and demon control.
Along the way, he really showed patience with his direct disciples and gave guidance to Yan Chu and Ji Qiuyu.
As for Cheng Yuan, her Lingfucao looked lazy all day long. Jin Zhuo said that she refused to repent a few times and never talked to her again.
Cheng Yan felt relaxed and at ease, but privately he was discussing with Ji Qiuyu how to let Jin Zhuo leave.
She always felt that Jin Zhuo came specially for her during this trip.
…
Unexpectedly, Jin Zhuo made up his mind to follow them all the way, and refused to leave despite their explicit hints.
Time flies so fast, more than a month flies by.
Due to limited time, Cheng Yuan and others chose the path most commonly taken by demon masters, and there were not many demonic beasts, which made Jin Zhuo very dissatisfied.
"You are just lazy. Think about all of my disciples who followed me around the world. They have never been to Colored Stone Valley, Liuhuang, and Dark Demonic Abyss—"
"Senior, we are just building the foundation now. Places like the Dark Demonic Abyss are not something we can go to." Cheng Yan said.
Jin Zhuo was dissatisfied with Cheng Yan's interruption and snorted coldly: "Is there anything we can't go to? I took them there as soon as they entered the foundation building. Only in times of extreme crisis can one's potential be unleashed."
Just like a sunny day——"
When it came to Xu Qingtian, Jin Zhuo suddenly paused and stopped talking.
At this time, Cheng Yuan did not touch her troubles. He pointed not far ahead and said: "Senior, that's Yaoguang City!"
Yaoguang City, as its name suggests, is filled with Yaoguang light falling from the sky, as vast as the sky.
It was a city full of fairy spirit.
This city is the easternmost city in the West Pole, separated from the West Pole by a Liuhuang Mountain Range. It is said that Yaoguang City still belonged to Zhongzhou ten thousand years ago.
At that time, Zhongzhou was not called Zhongzhou, it was called Central Sanxiu Alliance. It is the base camp for Tianchu’s casual cultivators.
Only later, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance gradually became stronger, and aristocratic families and sects began to appear. Especially after the war between immortals and demons, a group of demon masters with extremely powerful demon control skills appeared in Central Continent.
Central Continent began to prosper and became the first of the five realms in one fell swoop.
