Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

It was the first time that Yin You heard about this, and he asked curiously, "Is it the same for Master Ao?"

Xuan Su nodded slightly, with a smile in his tone: "Back then, Youfeng was more lively than it is now. Senior Sister Ao was born strong and liked to fight with senior sisters and junior sisters from other veins, which caused those uncles and aunts to come to the door every day."

Yin You thought of Uncle Ao's temperament, and this was very similar to what the other party had done.

Xuan Su did not interrupt and continued, "Unlike Senior Sister Ao, Senior Sister Yin is very quiet. She dislikes the noise in Youfeng and often goes to the Wanfa Hall to stay."

Yin You nodded slightly, this was consistent with his impression of his master.

Chapter 224: Uncle, I Miss You

Dusk is setting.

Zhu Yingqiu walked out of Aoxue Palace.

"Market Master."

At the door, the two deacons saluted hurriedly.

One of the deacons asked quietly, "Is the village master going out?"

Zhu Yingqiu nodded: "Well, I'll take a walk around here and be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a ray of sword light, soared into the sky, and flew towards the northwest.

A deacon looked at the direction Zhu Yingqiu left and couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at this direction, Senior Sister Yingqiu must be going to this secluded peak again."

Although Zhu Yingqiu is now the acting master of Xueling Ruins, privately, the disciples prefer to call her senior sister or junior sister.

After hearing his companion's sigh, another deacon replied softly, "Senior Sister Yingqiu must be thinking about Uncle Yin You again."

She paused for a while before speaking again, "Tell me, where did the Ruins Master, Elder Yin, and Uncle Master Yin go?"

Twenty years ago, it was rumored in the Northern Territory that Ao Qingyue, the Lord of Xueling Ruins, and elder Yin Ci rebelled against the human race, defected to the demon world, and jointly killed An Wanshi, the supreme elder of the Thirteen Hidden Clans.

The elders and disciples of Xuelingxu naturally did not believe such a ridiculous rumor, but they also did not know where the master of thexu and his companions had gone.

Over the past twenty years, Xuelingxu has been searching for Ao Qingyue and the other two all the time, but the three of them are like a stone sinking into the sea, and there has been no news of them to this day.

"Lord of the Ruins and Elder Yin are both powerful men in this world. There are few people who can threaten them nowadays. Uncle Master Yin is also a child of destiny. He has the combat power of the Ninth Realm at such a young age. It is impossible for him to die so easily."

The deacon analyzed them one by one, and finally said: "I think the ruins master and his men must be doing something very important in some place we don't know about."

"After they finish their work, they will definitely return to Xuelingxu."

Her companions listened to her and nodded in agreement.

……

A ray of knife light cut through the sky and landed on this secluded peak.

Zhu Yingqiu walked towards the cave.

Over the years, no matter she had nothing to do or was feeling down, she would come for a walk on this secluded peak.

It seemed that only here could she sense Yin You's presence and feel that he had not left.

"After they parted in the battle realm, where did Master and Kong Miaoyin go?"

Zhu Yingqiu has been thinking about this problem for twenty years, but still hasn't figured it out.

The cultivators from the Northern Territory only knew that Ao Qingyue and Yin Ci disappeared, while the cultivators from Xuelingxu thought that Yin You was also included. However, Zhu Yingqiu understood that there was a Buddhist cultivator from a foreign land, Kong Miaoyin, beside his uncle.

Twenty years ago, the uncle came to the war world with Kong Miaoyin to look for the fragments of the Soul Sealing Map. During that time, he not only saved her life, but also helped her run around and collect the emblems of war.

After handing over all the collected war emblems to her, the two of them left the war realm without stopping and continued to look for the next fragment of the soul-sealing map.

Afterwards, Zhu Yingqiu spent more than three years in the war world to refine two War King badges, which enabled him to break through the bottleneck of the eighth realm in one fell swoop, successfully passed the heavenly tribulation and became a ninth realm cultivator, and even in the middle stage of the ninth realm!

When she left the war realm and wanted to help her uncle find the remaining map of the Soul Sealing Map, she found that the demon rebellion had broken out, the human territory was shrinking again and again, and her uncle seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and has not been seen since then.

Zhu Yingqiu had to go back to his family first. Fortunately, his family was safe and had not been attacked by any demons.

She stayed in the family for a while. When she learned that the Thirteen Hidden Clans used the death of the Supreme Elder as an excuse to march north to attack Xueling Ruins, Zhu Yingqiu could no longer sit still.

She left her family and rushed back to Xuelingxu. After repelling several teams of monks from the Thirteen Hidden Clans, she became famous. As a result, she was recommended by the elders and disciples to temporarily take over the position of the master of Xuelingxu.

In fact, Zhu Yingqiu didn't want to take on this important task at first, but after talking with her master, she agreed.

She has to guard Xuelingxu and wait for her uncle to return.

Zhu Yingqiu did it. Under her intimidation, the Thirteen Hidden Clans gave up their ambition to advance northward. The demons in the north were also surrounded and suppressed many times and almost disappeared.

It was just that in his spare time, an idea always came to Zhu Yingqiu's mind:

"If twenty years ago, I gave up refining the War King Badge and chose to leave with my uncle, what would have happened?"

Zhu Yingqiu had a lot of thoughts.

She looked towards the cave that was already vaguely visible not far away, and vaguely felt the presence of her uncle, as if he had just passed by here.

"Ok?"

Zhu Yingqiu suddenly raised his eyebrows, realizing something was wrong: "The cave door was opened by someone?"

The cave door is open.

The first thought that came to Zhu Yingqiu's mind was which naughty disciple had secretly broken into the cave in this secluded peak.

But on second thought, she ruled out this possibility.

Because the cave is protected by a formation, only by performing specific spells can one avoid the defense of the formation and push the door to enter the cave.

Only a few people knew the specific spells of this Youfeng Cave Mansion. Apart from my uncle, Elder Yin, and the Ruins Master, only I and Junior Sister Xue Qingyou knew it. And Junior Sister Xue Qingyou is now...

When Zhu Yingqiu thought of this, his eyes darkened.

"Yingqiu?"

Suddenly, a warm voice sounded, interrupting Zhu Yingqiu's thoughts.

When Zhu Yingqiu heard the voice, she was stunned and stood there in a daze.

The next moment, an incredibly bright light burst out from her eyes, and she suddenly looked up towards the direction of the cave gate.

At the gate of the cave, a tall young man appeared at some point. He was looking over here. On that handsome face that had appeared countless times in Zhu Yingqiu's dreams, a more mature face, there was a warm smile that was extremely familiar to her.

Swish!

Zhu Yingqiu disappeared from the spot and appeared directly in front of Yin You. He opened his arms and hugged him tightly, his cheek pressed tightly against Yin You's chest, feeling the strong heartbeat.

Watching Zhu Yingqiu's series of actions, Yin You was stunned at first, but quickly came to his senses. He stretched out his hands and gently hugged this soft and delicate body.

"Why are you here?"

Yin You felt the gentle trembling of the woman in his arms and said softly, "We were just planning to look for you."

Zhu Yingqiu did not reply, she just hugged Yin You tightly, as if she wished to become one with him, as if she wanted to hold him like this until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.

Yin You understood, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just raised one hand and gently rubbed Zhu Yingqiu's hair, slowly calming the other's emotions.

For Yin You, only a few years had passed since they met again, but for Zhu Yingqiu, more than 20 years had passed.

Yin You didn't know how his nephew had survived the past twenty years. Just looking at his pitiful appearance, he felt extremely distressed.

The two maintained this posture, and no one spoke to break this rare peace and tranquility.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yingqiu raised her face slightly and looked up, with some indescribable ripples in her slightly red eyes:

"Uncle Master, I miss you."

So she said.

Chapter 225: Northern Territory Situation

Seeing that Zhu Yingqiu's emotions had gradually calmed down, Yin You brought her into the cave, came to a pavilion, and introduced her to Uncle Master Xuansu.

Zhu Yingqiu had met Xuan Su at the border of Zhongzhou more than 20 years ago and was deeply impressed by this uncle of his master's uncle. Xuan Su was also quite interested in this girl who could be said to be Yin You's childhood sweetheart.

However, after saying hello, Xuan Su tactfully left the pavilion and no one knew where he went.

After she left, Zhu Yingqiu couldn't wait to ask where Yin You had been over the years, where the Lord of the Ruins and Elder Yin had gone, and other questions that had been bothering her for years.

Yin You did not keep her in suspense and answered her questions one by one.

After listening to Yin You's narration of his experience, Zhu Yingqiu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen back then."

She didn't expect that her uncle had a conflict with demons long before the demon rebellion broke out, and was trapped and exiled on the road to ascension. What she didn't expect was that her uncle had traveled back from twenty years ago.

The question that had been hidden in Zhu Yingqiu's heart for many years was finally answered at this moment.

After she finished asking, Yin You asked about the changes in the situation in the Northern Territory over the years.

Zhu Yingqiu explained, "The situation between humans and demons in the Northern Territory is now at a stalemate. The demons have taken the former Tongbei Sect's homeland, Yongsheng Mountain, as their base camp, with the Demon Lord Corpse Demon in charge. The other demons in the ninth and tenth realms each lead a demon army to fight against various sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory."

"Now, almost all of the Western Region of the Northern Territory has fallen into the hands of demons. Only a few first-rate sects and dynasties are still resisting. Among them are the disciples of Tongbei Sect who fought out of Yongsheng Mountain. They are led by Master Yusheng and wander around the Western Region, waiting for an opportunity to kill the demons."

"Apart from the West, the South is the most chaotic, with the largest number of demon armies. Even the top sect, the Chilian Academy, can't do anything about them."

"and many more."

Hearing this, Yin You suddenly interrupted Zhu Yingqiu and asked, "What's the situation in Huacheng?"

After hearing about the rampant demons in the south, Yin You couldn't help but worry about the safety of the Liu family in Huacheng, especially his aunt Liu Ningshuang and her daughter Liu Ling'er.

Zhu Yingqiu naturally knew what his uncle meant. "Not long after the Demon Rebellion broke out, the Chilian Academy seized the ownership of Huacheng from the Changqi Dynasty. Over the years, they have attached great importance to it and sent monks to Huacheng many times. Among them, there are many ninth-level monks, and there is even a tenth-level master who is stationed in Huacheng."

"Huacheng is very safe. If you want to know more detailed information, you can go find Master Liu Feng later. She just came back from Huacheng half a year ago and is more familiar with the information about Huacheng than I am." Zhu Yingqiu said softly.

"Aunt Liu?"

Yin You nodded: "Okay, I'll go find her later."

Zhu Yingqiu continued, "Compared to the demon armies in these two places, the number of demons in the north, middle, and east is much smaller, but this is only relative."

"Oh, yes,"

At this point, she suddenly remembered something: "Master, do you still remember Yin Xingsheng from Huacheng?"

Yin You was startled when he heard this, then nodded: "I remember that I met Yin Xingsheng in the battle in Xuanyue City. At that time, he had completely transformed into a demon, and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds to the tenth realm."

When Yin You's demon blood in his right eye was activated by Si Lou, he lost consciousness for a while and had a fierce battle with Yin Xingsheng, who had been reborn as a demon.

It was not until the arrival of the Taoist robe woman, Yin Ci, and Ao Qingyue that Si Lou and Yin Xingsheng were suppressed. However, later Si Lou designed to teleport Yin You and others to the path of ascension at the cost of giving up a tenth-level clone, which allowed Yin Xingsheng, who had lost the power to resist, to escape.

"He has now become a demon general under the Corpse Demon Seat, responsible for managing those human cultivators who have surrendered to the demons. He is currently confronting the Ji Xiang Sect."

Yin You looked thoughtful: "Ji Xiang Sect... I remember it was a first-rate sect in the northwest region, right?"

"Yes, it's just to the west of the Yonglin Dynasty." Zhu Yingqiu nodded.

Yonglin Dynasty...

Speaking of this dynasty, Yin You thought of Youyun Mountain, where he obtained the second incomplete map of sealing souls, and where he encountered a cursed creature that was different from the life forms of humans and demons.

The curse was once suppressed by the remaining fragments of the Sealed Spirit Map under the Guanyun Terrace of Youyun Mountain, until a mortal accidentally touched the seal and released it.

By the time Yin You arrived at Youyun Mountain, the curse had recovered most of its strength. Its attack methods were strange and unpredictable, and even Yin You almost died. Fortunately, Kong Miaoyin arrived in time and saved him.

The experience left a deep impression on Yin You.

After saying this, Zhu Yingqiu briefly told Yin You about several major events that had occurred in the Northern Territory in the past twenty years.

After he finished talking about all these things, Zhu Yingqiu's eyes suddenly flashed with a gloomy look, and then he slowly said: "Uncle Master, I have something important to tell you."

Seeing the solemn look on her face, Yin You also became serious: "Well, go ahead."

He already had a vague idea of ​​what Zhu Yingqiu was going to say.

As expected, Zhu Yingqiu said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Xue, it is very likely that she has been controlled by the Thirteen Hidden Clan."

Yin You was silent for a while before he spoke: "I heard that you and Qing You had a big fight on the Xingyue Sea. Didn't she recognize your identity at that time?"

Zhu Yingqiu shook her head solemnly: "No, at that time she looked at me with indifference, as if she was looking at a stranger, and ignored all my attempts, but..."

She paused here before continuing, "During our fight, she had several opportunities to severely injure me, but each time she changed her sword skills and only injured my flesh."

Yin Youyin realized something and understood what she meant: "So, you think that although she is very likely controlled by the Thirteen Hidden Clan, she still has a trace of instinct?"

"Um"
