Journey to the head

The moon is full in the sky and the stars are shining brightly.

In the woods among the wild mountains and ridges, the disciples of Yunshan bowed down again and saw them off respectfully, and Jichuan Xuanjun laughed.

"I'll go too!"

After he finished speaking, he turned into a beam of light and flew into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye like a shooting star.

Wu Yan couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She knew that this departure of Jichuan Xuanjun would be their last.

Lin Le held her hand tightly, and was also very emotional. The reappearance of Jichuan Xuanjun will surely become a new legend about Yunshan Sect.

It’s a pity that if Xuanjun could stay for another year, or even a month, now that the Ciji Sect has suffered a devastating blow, the Yunshan Sect might be able to take advantage of the situation and take control of Qingzhou.

Just when he was feeling regretful, Lord Lianyi came over.

He had been staying outside and keeping silent since Jichuan Xuanjun appeared. He really didn't know how to face this Cangzhou overlord who had once dealt a heavy blow to Qinglian Zhenzong.

But even if there is an old grudge, Jichuan Xuanjun's heroic demeanor is enough to impress people.

Now, he finally thought of something and bowed to Lin Le.

"Master Lin, the events of more than 2,000 years ago are no longer clear. It is meaningless for a young man like me to trace back the past."

"I only know that Yunshan Sect and Qinglian Zhenzong are on the same front, good partners who work together and support each other. That's enough."

“But please return the secret manuals that were taken away by Jichuan Xuanjun, including the Formless Void Sword Art and other secret manuals created with great effort by the past masters of the sect, and ensure that the disciples will no longer practice these skills.” Lianyi Lingjun said sincerely, “In this way, I can give an explanation to the sect.”

"After returning, the Yunshan Sect wants to raise the banner of Jichuan Xuanjun and openly inherit his lineage. I promise that the Qinglian Zhenzong will never object, and it will not affect the friendship between the two sides."

Lin Le readily agreed: "Of course it should be so. Moreover, not only the Qinglian True Sect, but also the secret manuals obtained from various sects in Cangzhou will be returned one by one by our sect."

As for ensuring that the disciples no longer continued to practice, it was actually very simple. When compiling the "Yunshan Seven-Level Dongxuan True Scripture", the Yunshan Sect was very careful not to touch the secret manuals of those sects that still existed in the world.

Because Yunshan was weak in the past, if the disciples practiced the inheritance of these major sects, it would be very troublesome if they were discovered, so the disciples basically practiced the skills written by independent practitioners and the extinct sects.

These include "The Vast Sea of ​​Stars Array", "The Essentials of Refining Teng Snake Taoist Soldiers", "The Magical Method of Turning Gold into Gold", "The True Identification of Treasures", etc., which supported the Yunshan Sect's conquest and development.

Later, the Yunshan Sect became increasingly powerful and obtained more and more secret manuals of various martial arts. In the Baoguang Realm, Lu Qian obtained a large number of extremely exquisite martial arts techniques, but he had no time to organize them.

Returning the secret manuals to each sect now will have no impact on the Yunshan Sect.

Hearing Lin Le's reply, Lord Lianyi smiled. In fact, he was quite helpless in his heart. The secret book was something that could be easily targeted once the other party had read it. However, the Yunshan Sect's momentum was already strong, so this was already the best solution.

In the past, the Yunshan Sect laid its foundation with the secret treasures of Jichuan Xuanjun and rose from the grassroots. Today, Jichuan Xuanjun has washed away the image of "Cangzhou rebel" because of the prosperity of the Yunshan Sect. From then on, he is revered by Yunshan as one of the sources of the Dharma lineage, and his reputation will surely spread throughout the world.

Cause and effect are wonderful, that's exactly what it is.

Ling Xuan Ling Jun also came closer, but just as she was about to speak, she was startled. From her sight, she saw the space above the Mengyu Mountain Spiritual Vein hanging alone in the air twisted, and suddenly a figure appeared.

The figure paused for a moment, and swept across with her vast spiritual sense, locking the direction. She took a step forward, and before Lingxuan Lingjun could even say a word, she appeared among the crowd!

When they saw clearly who was coming, their hearts, which had suddenly been hanging in the air, finally settled down. Lin Le and Wu Yan led the Yunshan disciples to bow down again.

"Greetings to the Five Turbids!"

Taiyi Paradise, the True Lord of the Five Turbidities!
Wuzhuo's face was stern. She just waved her hand and immediately came to Han Bing, carefully observing Lu Qian's condition, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"True Lord..." Before Lin Le could finish his words, he saw her flip her palm and take out a brocade box wrapped with layers of talismans.

"This is the Longevity Ginseng, which can add a hundred years to one's lifespan." She said quickly, "I will cast a spell to save Lu Qian right now."

The people present immediately held their breath and concentrated, not daring to say a word. But seeing the Five Turbids True Lord use his magic formula, the talisman peeled off layer by layer like petals, and a white jade-like spiritual ginseng with dense and long hair appeared in front of them. The spiritual ginseng was covered with wrinkles, and at first glance it looked like an old man's face, which was really amazing.

This piece of Longevity Ginseng was wrapped in the space barrier of Five Turbidities True Lord when it appeared. Now when Five Turbidities True Lord released his spiritual power, the human face on the Longevity Ginseng twisted, its hair and beard stood out, it seemed to let out a scream, and then melted into a ball of nectar.

Because of the spatial barrier, no one present could feel the fluctuations in the nectar, but longevity-enhancing treasures were extremely rare in the world, and their rarity was far greater than that of innate spiritual herbs. No one had ever seen their true appearance.

At this moment, seeing that the Five Turbidities True Lords all cherished it, one could not help but have a lot of imagination. Although he could only see it from afar across the barrier, he seemed to smell the indescribable fragrance and felt relaxed and full of energy.

Lingxuan, Lianyi and others were even more envious. They thought that apart from Taiyi Paradise, only a few refining sects might have such treasures. Now they took it out without saying a word to save Lu Qian. The degree to which Taiyi Paradise valued Lu Qian really exceeded expectations again and again. Could it be that Lu Qian was really the bloodline descendant of some immortal monarch in Taiyi Paradise?
According to this situation, as long as Lu Qian is on Yuheng Continent, it will be difficult for him to die. Unless he leaves Yuheng Continent and wanders around, but he shouldn't run away, right?
Over there, True Lord Wuzhu stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Xuan Ning ice coffin that enveloped Lu Qian was broken. At the same time, under the fluctuation of space, the essence of the Shouwang ginseng was sent into Lu Qian's body by Wuzhu.

Breaking open the ice coffin and sending in the essence happened simultaneously with incredible precision. The Five Turbidities also took quite a lot of energy. She supported Lu Qian again, and her spiritual power gently seeped in to dissolve the effects of the medicine for him.

At this time, everyone finally felt a strong and gentle vitality of nature surging. Even if it blew from a distance, it felt like a spring breeze on their faces. They saw Lu Qian's dry white hair slowly turning into black and white, his shrunken bones were stretching, his wrinkles gradually faded, and his dry skin became plump again.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qian had changed from a dying old man to someone in his fifties or sixties.

Wuzhuo Zhenjun breathed a sigh of relief and handed Lu Qian to Lin Le.

"It's safe now. The battle with the demons has reached its final stage. I can't leave now. We'll talk about everything after the battle is over."

After she finished speaking, she didn't even wait for a reply, and her figure disappeared into the space in a flash.

She actually managed to escape from the decisive battle!
The disciples of Yunshan gathered around. Gu Nishang, whose face was still a little pale, took Lu Qian over. Looking at his face that looked much older, she felt angry and amused. But when she thought that if it was any later, Lu Qian would die of old age, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

The old man's eyelids trembled slightly, and he was finally waking up.

Lu Qian slowly opened his eyes with rapid breathing. He felt that the world was still shaking and spinning. Everything in front of him was blurry and unclear. His body was extremely heavy and there was no place that did not hurt or numb. It was extremely uncomfortable.

He had experienced near-death several times before, but this time was more painful than the previous ones. He never wanted to experience again the feeling of exhaustion, of being gradually swallowed by darkness, of powerlessness and despair that was several times more intense than struggling to drown.

"Head!"

He heard many shouts in his ears. Lu Qian tried to turn his head, but he felt his neck was rusty.

As his spiritual power gradually began to work, he finally regained his ability to move, and with the help of Gu Nishang, he stood up. With his mind starting to work again, he understood the current situation and adapted to his remaining life span. All the disciples saw that the master's condition was gradually getting better. His hair slowly turned black, his figure became straight again, his wrinkles basically disappeared, and his eyes were shining with the brilliance of telekinesis again.

At this time, Lu Qian's physical condition had stabilized at the middle-aged level of over forty years old.

When a monk has plenty of life, he can follow his own wishes and maintain a certain age until the end of his life, when he will immediately age and cannot be stopped.

Now Lu Qian has added a hundred years of lifespan. Although he has not entered the critical period of aging, his original lifespan of one thousand six hundred years is equivalent to being one thousand five hundred years old now. He is already in his twilight years, and at most he will be around forty years old.

From a vigorous and heroic young man, he suddenly became a mature and strong middle-aged uncle. Lu Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But now these physical changes are not a big deal. The most urgent task is the Northern Expedition, which is coming to an end.

Lin Le told the story of what happened after he was frozen in ice. Although he felt very sorry that he could not have a long talk with Jichuan Xuanjun, the casualties of his disciples made him even more worried.

Now the casualty statistics have been generated. From the Northern Expedition to eliminate the demons to the final battle now, in which four great demon spirits were killed in the battle, the Yunshan Sect suffered huge losses.

More than 500 Qi training disciples were killed, and more than 300 others were seriously injured. They may have to withdraw from the battle sequence in the future.

In other words, one third of the 2,400 elite soldiers from the four combat battalions have been lost.

Among the thirty foundation-building warriors who participated in the battle, five were killed and three were seriously injured.

Lu Qian was extremely saddened by the fact that two of the eight Jindans had died in the battle. Compared to this, the crash of the Weiyuan Shenzhou, which was comparable to the Yuanying-level combat power, was nothing.

Ding Shu has been in our sect for more than a hundred years, loyal and courageous. Everyone has long regarded him as a disciple of Yunshan. He also has a wide range of friends in the sect, and people like Su Yan are his close friends.

Li Jing is one of the best disciples of the sixth generation. He is good at thunder magic and hates evil. He has a bright future. He is also the deputy director of the Punishment Department and the right-hand man of Senior Brother Wang. If he heard the bad news, Senior Brother Wang would be very sad.

At this moment, a man suddenly fell to his knees and said sadly, "Master, I was not thoughtful enough to realize that I should not run away blindly in front of such a big monster. I was careless in using the Firefly Amber and caused the death of my fellow disciple. Please punish me, Master!"

His body was shaking and his voice was sad. Who else could it be but An Fang He?

Lu Qian helped him up and shook his head: "This is not your fault, you just followed my orders. In fact, I am the one who ordered you to carry out the retreat plan and should bear the responsibility."

The side effects of the curse are stronger than you might imagine. The more powerful the curse, the stronger the negative energy.

If he had not been affected by the curse, causing his disciples to retreat immediately and create chaos, perhaps Li Jing and the others would not have died.

But on the other hand, if he hadn't successfully cast the curse, he might not even be able to pass the level of the Mountain Moving General. When the four great spirit demons gathered, he wouldn't even have the chance to use his fourth magical power, and everyone would die.

Alas, casting a curse is like drinking poison to quench thirst. You must be extremely careful in the future.

No wonder the cursers who are good at cursing are basically cold-blooded lunatics, and often self-destruct in the end. The Miaofa Tianjun who stands at the pinnacle of cursing is also a representative of extreme chaos and evil.

Lu Qian asked An Fanghe to go down and rest first. Seeing that Lin Le also had a complicated expression, he could only comfort him a few times.

At that moment of life and death, Lin Le could only make the most unwilling and unspiritual move - he purely weighed the importance based on his value to the sect, and finally chose to save An Fanghe and let Li Jing and Ding Shu sacrifice themselves.

However, after the Akabane Master incident, under Lu Qian's guidance, Lin Le firmly believed that people cannot be simply measured by value. The ultimate goal of the Yunshan School is to allow all disciples to have the power to choose their own lives.

Now, all of this has suffered a huge impact, and I'm afraid Lin Le has a heavy shadow in his heart.

But at this moment, what can we do?
It can only keep everyone busy and leave no time to think.

At this moment, the disciples had completed the task of collecting the bodies and rescuing the wounded. Lu Qian asked Lin Le and An Fanghe to lead the staff to count the monster cores and take inventory of the points, while he asked the Yuanying and Jindan to lead all the disciples to dismember the big monsters on the spot.

Blood-sucking insects, fish-snake monsters, slender lizards and alien pangolins.

The scales, fur, bones, blood, limbs and so on of these four great monsters and the four Nascent Soul monsters are all top-quality materials for production and manufacturing.

Lu Qian suddenly remembered something and had to ask Lianyi Lingjun for help again.

"I would like to ask you to take the trouble to drive the flowing water and pick up someone from Biluo Peak for me." Lu Qian felt embarrassed to treat the leader of Qinglian Zhenzong as a pick-up driver. "Don't worry, Lingjun. My sect is very grateful for your rescue today. When the points are finally settled, I will definitely give you more compensation."

Lianyi Lingjun smiled and said, "Master Lu, you don't have to be polite. Who do you want me to bring over? I guess it must be Liquanjun?"

Lu Qian shook his head as he looked at the huge monster corpse that was as big as a mountain.

"Please help me get Huo Jin."

A few days later, the immortal scrolls of various families on the Yuheng Continent shone again, and Taiyi Paradise broadcast a message.

In June of the 520th year of Jiashen, Taiyi Paradise and the hundreds of underground tribes declared a ceasefire. The hundreds of underground tribes completely withdrew from the hinterland of Yuheng Continent and returned to the three states they occupied at the southern end of the continent.

At the same time, Taiyi Paradise recognized the underground tribes' right to rule over the five states with Linzhou as the core at the northern end of Yuheng Continent.

The two sides used this as the boundary and ceased fighting.

The human forces in the Yuheng Continent can no longer attack the hundreds of underground races without reason, and the hundreds of underground races can no longer invade the human race's sphere of influence.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in mainland China, sparking heated debate and far-reaching impact.

But for several states neighboring Cangzhou, there is another explosive rumor.

To the south of Cangzhou are Yingzhou and Luzhou, and the land of Luzhou is also being besieged by a big monster and is on the verge of collapse.

At this time, a Yuanshen Xuanjun descended from the sky and killed two Yuanshen demons with a flip of his hand.

Then, this Xuanjun sat alone facing the moon on the highest mountain in Luzhou, drank a cup of spiritual tea, and then disappeared.

In early July, Taiyi Paradise held a peace conference, inviting the sects that had made outstanding contributions in the war to enter the cave to celebrate their merits and exchange them for points.

The Yunshan School is prominently listed. (End of this chapter)
