Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

There were more than a hundred monks standing in the square, all of them looked listless and had injuries to varying degrees.

These people are the monks from the two religions and three sects.

During these three days, they were detained in the Daocheng Prison and interrogated by members of the Dao League. It was not until today that they walked out of the prison and saw the light of day again.

The cultivators standing in the front row were the leaders of the two religions and three sects. Among them, the Tianyang Sect had a deputy sect leader temporarily taking over the position of the sect leader because the sect leader Qu Tianyang was executed.

Xuanyin had already arrived at the square. Seeing Xuansu and Yin You coming, she walked towards them.

Xuan Su asked softly, "Are they all here?"

Xuanyin stood on the other side of Xuansu and replied, "They are all here."

"Ah."

Xuan Su nodded slightly: "Then let's get started."

The Eclipse Sect Leader and others had already agreed to the conditions proposed by the Dao Alliance, and they did not hesitate at this time. After hearing Xuan Su's words, they took the Dao Oath on the spot.

Soon, dull roars were heard over the square. It was a clear sky, but it sounded like thunder.

This is Heaven's response to the cultivators' oath of the Great Dao. If they violate the oath from then on, they will not only fall from their cultivation level, but will also suffer punishment from heavenly calamity.

At Xuan Su's request, the oath of the Great Dao initiated by the Eclipse Sect Leader and others was particularly harsh. If they violated it, they would lose all their cultivation and suffer all kinds of thunder tribulations. After death, they would not be able to enter the reincarnation and their souls would be scattered.

After all the cultivators from the two religions and three sects had sworn the Great Dao Oath, Xuan Su let them leave. He even returned the Fengling Yueying Immortal Boat that had been seized earlier to the Zhanyue Sect. Of course, in addition to the Great Dao Oath and the expedition to the Northern Territory, the two religions and three sects also needed to compensate the Taoist Alliance for a large amount of cultivation resources.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Yin You and three others.

"The little guy and I will set off for Xuelingxu today."

Xuan Su looked at Xuan Yin: "How about it, do you want to join us?"

Xuanyin was somewhat tempted when she heard this, but after thinking it over again and again, she shook her head and said, "No, I'd better follow the Dao League."

She was worried that neither the leader nor herself, the deputy leader, would appear in the expedition team, which would arouse suspicion from other sects. After all, the leaders of the other two religions and three sects were all present in person.

Apart from this reason, the monks from the two religions and three sects did not intend to go on an expedition to the Northern Territory. They were only willing to go because they were bound by the oath of the Great Dao. If no one was watching them, there was no guarantee that they would not do something tricky in secret.

Xuan Su saw through her thoughts and advised, "Don't worry, Luo Ning is at the Dao League."

But Xuanyin still shook her head: "Luo Ning is a girl with a restless mind, and it's hard to convince others."

She made up her mind, and her icy blue eyes blinked, sweeping across Yin You and Xuan Su's faces:

"I have made up my mind, so there is no need to persuade me anymore."

Seeing her determination, Xuan Su stopped trying to persuade her and said, "Then I'll leave the Dao League to you."

Xuanyin nodded slightly: "Yes."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Xuanyin left first as she had Taoist Alliance affairs to attend to.

"Alas, I always feel like I owe this girl too much."

Xuan Su looked at her leaving back and suddenly sighed.

Yin You was a little curious: "Why did Master Uncle say that?"

At this time, Xuanyin had disappeared from sight. Xuansu motioned Yin You to follow him and walked in one direction.

As she walked, she talked about an old story: "After the demon rebellion ended a hundred years ago, I left Xuelingxu and was on my way to Zhongzhou. I found an orphan of two or three years old in a ruined city destroyed by demons in the Northern Territory."

Xuan Su recalled, and the scene at that time seemed to reappear in front of him:

"When I found her, she was curled up under a collapsed building. She had fainted from hunger. After my observation, I found that she was saved by a broken necklace tied around her neck. It was a seventh-level protective spiritual weapon."

"Beside her, there are two bodies, one male and one female. They are both cultivators of the sixth realm. Even though they are dead, they have been protecting the orphan."

"That couple is most likely the orphan's parents. They left hope to their daughter but lost their own lives."

"I buried the couple and brought the orphan to Zhongzhou. She was greatly shocked and forgot her memory, not to mention her name. She is usually very quiet and doesn't like to talk much, so I gave her a new name, Xuanyin."

Those images flashed through Xuan Su's eyes, and his expression softened unconsciously:

"I guided Xuanyin to embark on the path of cultivation. She had a great talent for cultivation. In just over twenty years, she entered the eighth realm. At that time, the method of advancing to the tenth realm had not yet appeared. The eighth realm was already the strongest cultivator under the ninth realm."

"In addition to her talent for cultivation, she also showed an outstanding talent for management. At that time, the Dao League was just established and its foundation was unstable. It also had many conflicts with the surrounding sects and dynasties. There were often cultivators coming to pick a fight. This girl had a hot temper and beat those cultivators by herself until they cried for their parents. She won the respect and admiration of many Dao League members."

"Besides practicing, she also helps me manage the Dao League and handle the affairs of the Dao League. Although she looks fierce, she is actually very thoughtful and can always handle the affairs of the Dao League perfectly."

At this point, Xuan Su sighed, "Later, because I had to retreat to recuperate, I handed the Dao League over to her. This lasted for decades, and that girl worked hard and persisted."

After a pause, she suddenly looked at Yin You: "I heard that you gave her a jade pendant a few days ago?"

Yin You was startled at first, then nodded: "Yes, it is true, how did you know about this, uncle?"

Xuan Su smiled but said nothing.

After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped and said leisurely, "We're here."

The two came to a door.

Chapter 223: This Secret Room in the Peak

Xuan Su pushed the door open and walked in.

Yin You followed her in, and after seeing the layout inside clearly, a hint of fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

There was nothing in the room to block the view. The ground and walls were engraved with densely packed mysterious runes, which was very shocking at first glance.

"This is the teleportation formation." Xuan Su said.

The two walked to the center.

Xuan Su closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes and she stepped on the ground.

The next moment, with her as the center, the teleportation runes on the ground gradually lit up with a deep light and began to spread in all directions.

Soon, all the teleportation runes were activated, and the space began to vibrate and twist, bringing with it a terrifying power.

Yin You subconsciously used the divine possession technique, and spiritual power surged out of his body and turned into a protective shield.

Xuan Su noticed Yin You's movements, she reached out and took Yin You into her arms, chuckling softly, "Let's go."

As soon as the words fell, the dark light in the room grew brighter, completely engulfing the two figures.

……

Deep in the far north of the Northern Territory.

Snow Spirit Ruins.

The two graceful elders passed through several palaces and came straight to the Aoxue Palace, located in the deepest part of Aoxue Peak, which was the palace cave where the masters of the ruins of all generations lived.

But as soon as they saw the Aoxue Palace, their faces were both stunned.

Under a big tree next to Aoxue Palace, a woman in black with a long sword hanging from her waist stood with her back to the two of them, as if she had been waiting there for a long time.

"Market Master."

The two elders came to their senses and bowed respectfully to the woman in black.

Zhu Yingqiu turned around and looked at the two men with his deep eyes, calm as water: "Two uncles, what happened?"

One of the elders, who was wearing a light green palace skirt, said, "There is news about Qin Muyun."

"Senior Sister Muyun?"

Zhu Yingqiu heard this, and a trace of ripples flashed in his eyes: "Where is she now?"

Another elder in an orange dress answered, "Someone saw her in the Star-Moon Sea."

Zhu Yingqiu frowned slightly: "Xingyue Sea? Is this information reliable?"

The Star-Moon Sea is a vast body of water located in the eastern region of the Northern Territory. It is firmly controlled by the Thirteen Hidden Clan, one of the five top sects in the Northern Territory. It can be said to be the base camp of the Thirteen Hidden Clan.

The elder who spoke earlier nodded slightly: "This is from the Zhuanxin Palace, it should not be fake."

Zhuanxin Palace is the leading intelligence sect in the Northern Territory. It has many disciples spread all over the Northern Territory. It makes a living by selling intelligence, and the credibility of its intelligence is extremely high.

Therefore, after hearing the information from Zhuanxin Palace, Zhu Yingqiu no longer doubted it, but his expression became a little solemn: "Xingyue Sea..."

Now everyone knows that Xuelingxu and the Thirteen Hidden Clans are at odds. If Qin Muyun is really there, he is probably in a very bad situation.

"Lord of the Ruins, do we need to send someone to the Xingyue Sea to look for Qin Muyun?"

Zhu Yingqiu shook his head slightly and rejected the proposal: "No need, the situation in the Northern Territory is very turbulent right now, and all forces are watching us. We must not act rashly."

"Since Senior Sister Muyun went to the Star-Moon Sea, she must have her reasons. We should not interfere for the time being."

The two elders seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment, an elder said softly, "Lord Xu, there is news from the Cang Lei Holy Sect that they are going to convene a Northern Territory Conference and invite the monks from all the major sects and dynasties to the Cang Lei Holy Sect to discuss how to deal with the Northern Territory demons."

Zhu Yingqiu said calmly: "When is the time?"

The elder replied: "Ten days later."

"Well, let the uncles arrange the accompanying personnel." Zhu Yingqiu thought for a moment and gave the answer.

The matter had been reported, and the two elders were about to leave as they had other matters to attend to: "Lord of the Village, we will take our leave first."

"Ah."

Zhu Yingqiu looked at their departing backs and suddenly sighed for some reason.

She turned around and continued to stare at the big tree in front of her in a daze.

Uncle-master, where did you, Lord Aoxu, and Elder Yin go?

Under the cave in this secluded peak, there is an extremely hidden secret room. Even Yin Ci, the master of the peak, is unaware of its existence.

And today, this secret room that was pitch black in the past suddenly lit up with mysterious runes, and along with it, an extremely mysterious and deep color.

When the dark color faded away, two figures appeared quietly.

"arrive?"

Yin You sensed that the surrounding space had returned to calm. His vision was not blocked by the darkness, and he saw that he was now in a secret room.

"Well, we're here."

Xuan Su snapped his fingers, and light came on in the secret room.

"Uncle Master, where is this?"

Yin You looked puzzled.

He grew up in Xuelingxu and had traveled to every corner of Xuelingxu, but he had no impression of this secret room without even a door.

Hearing this, Xuan Su raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "You will know when you go out with Uncle Master."

She took Yin You's hand and performed the secret space technique.

As his vision blurred, Yin You found himself on a meadow. A big sun was hanging high in the sky, casting bright and warm sunshine.

Hey, wait… why does this place look so familiar?

Yin You looked around and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. When he saw the cave not far away, his eyes widened instantly:

"This secluded peak!?"

Xuan Su looked at Yin You's reaction and couldn't help but chuckle: "Yes, the secret room is built in the basement of this Youfeng."

Yin You turned his head and looked at Uncle Master Xuan Su with a very strange look in his eyes: "Uncle Master, does my master know that you built a secret room in this Youfeng?"

"I don't know. After all, I secretly built this while she was not in Youfeng. If she knew, she would have torn down the secret room long ago."

Yin You thought so too. It seemed that his master had a prejudice against Uncle Xuan Su. If he knew that he had built such a secret room in the basement of this Youfeng Mountain, he would have demolished it long ago.

Xuan Su winked at Yin You playfully: "Shh, don't tell your master, this is a secret between us~"

Yin You nodded helplessly.

The two walked towards the cave.

Yin You activated his magic spell and then pushed the door open.

Although no one has lived here for a long time, there is a dust purification formation inside the cave, so it is not much different from twenty years ago.

Xuan Su looked at the layout of the cave, and a memory flashed in his eyes:

"When I was cultivating in Xuelingxu, I also lived on this secluded peak."
