Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Jiuyou hovered in the air, watching the brutal slaughter below, with no intention of intervening.

Xu Zhangqing said lightly: "Cultivators must not interfere in the mortal world; dynastic changes are none of our concern. Continue searching upstream along the Luo River."

Xu Jiuyou nodded: "Yes, Master."

Immediately, the nine branches behind him trembled lightly, his figure transformed into a streak of green light, and he swept across the battlefield at extreme speed.

The sounds of slaughter and wailing below were gradually left behind.

He followed the Luo River upstream, avoiding war-torn villages and loose cultivator settlements along the way, soon leaving Dongyu behind. As time passed, the surrounding scenery changed, gradually replaced by endless towering mountains, and the air grew crisp.

The deeper he went, the more rugged the terrain became.

Not long after, Xu Jiuyou passed through the "No-Management Area" and entered the Southern Region.

Upon entering the Southern Region, the surrounding scenery underwent earth-shaking changes.

Piercing cold winds, accompanied by snowflakes filling the sky, made heaven and earth a vast white expanse.

The continuous mountain ranges were now covered in thick ice and snow; it could be said that everywhere was white.

The Luo River here became an ice-sealed long river; beneath the ice, the water flow was faintly visible, but no longer had any turbulent force.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing was surprised and doubtful: "What is Eldest Senior Sister doing in the Southern Region?"

The Southern Region was covered in ice and snow all year round, and the spiritual energy was mixed with biting cold.

Ordinary cultivators practicing here would have to expend spiritual power to resist the severe cold.

And here, any traces, even scents, were wiped away by ice and snow.

When Xu Jiuyou was searching aimlessly, he suddenly sensed spiritual power fluctuations not far away.

Only to see a figure treading on snow; this person had a tall and upright figure, wore a green long robe, had sharp and distinct features, and eyes that grew increasingly profound.

Through vision sharing, Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "Feng'er?"

Good fellow, isn't this his Second Disciple who went out for training for many years?

He never expected that he wouldn't find Eldest Senior Sister Bei Qingtang, but instead gained an unexpected harvest.

When this kid left Qingmu Peak, he was only at Earth-grade Golden Core Early Stage; now looking at him, his aura fluctuations were intense, and his cultivation had improved greatly.

In his hand, he held a long sword that was entirely jade-white.

The sword body flowed with Law Power; at a glance, it was a top-grade magic tool.

From this, it could be seen that he had gained no small opportunity during his training.

Lin Feng did not ride the wind, but walked with steady steps, advancing toward Dongyu step by step.

A hint of approval flashed in Xu Zhangqing's eyes: "This kid has improved a lot; being able to train to Golden Core Middle Stage in a place like the Southern Region, he must have suffered no small hardship."

However, he did not have Xu Jiuyou go up to make contact, but ordered: "No need to pay attention; you continue tracking Eldest Senior Sister's traces."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiuyou waited until Lin Feng's figure disappeared in the wind and snow, then quietly left.

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "It seems Eldest Senior Sister intentionally erased her traces.

Either she sensed someone following her and deliberately used this to shake them off.

Or there is something she must find in the Southern Region, so she had to go deep."

……

……

At the same time, Xu Zhangqing withdrew his attention from Xu Jiuyou; with a thought, he returned from his Personal Space to the Quiet Room of Qingmu Peak.

He walked out of the Quiet Room, and a fresh scent of grass and trees came rushing toward him; the spiritual energy of Qingmu Peak grew even richer, making the lingti grow vigorously.

However, just after walking a few steps, he saw not far away that Eldest Disciple Sun Shangxiang was standing side by side with Li Muyao, the two speaking and laughing softly, with an intimate atmosphere.

These years, Sun Shangxiang's attention was not on cultivation, so she was still at Earth-grade Golden Core Early Stage.

As her age increased, she had long shed her youth and immaturity, becoming increasingly mature.

The only thing that never changed was her gluttonous personality and her round, chubby face.

At this moment, she held a peach blossom, lightly tucked it into Li Muyao's hair, and said with a light laugh: "Senior Brother, in a few days let's go to the Mortal World for a stroll, and by the way bring some osmanthus cake for Qingyao."

Li Muyao had gentle eyebrows and eyes; upon hearing this, she hesitated slightly: "But... Peak Master Xu has already returned; if he finds out you sneaked out again, I'm afraid you'll be punished."

Sun Shangxiang put her hands on her hips and said somewhat discontentedly: "I'm not afraid at all; Master's mind is on Lingqu Sect, and he doesn't care much about me and Qingyao anymore."

Just then, a coughing sound suddenly came: "Cough cough~"

Sun Shangxiang, who was unafraid the previous second, shrank back in fright the next second: "Master!"

Li Muyao hurriedly cupped her hands and bowed: "Greetings, Peak Master Xu!"

Xu Zhangqing looked over the two of them: "You're not young anymore; if you want to play, just go play.

As long as you don't go too far, I can still look after you."

Upon hearing this, Li Muyao and Sun Shangxiang's little faces turned red: "......"

Previously, whenever Xu Zhangqing left Qingmu Peak and the Immortal Sect, the two would sneak out.

Either strolling in the Mortal World, or training in some Secret Realms or Cave Abodes.

As the time they spent together grew longer, both sides became increasingly intimate.

Their current relationship only lacked that final step of breaking the window paper.

Xu Zhangqing asked casually: "Where is Qingyao?"

Sun Shangxiang said helplessly: "She... probably went to learn skills from Fourth Uncle again, right?"

His mind was elsewhere, and his Second Junior Brother had gone out for experience training.

Now, only Qingyao was studying hard and cultivating diligently.

This was because all three of them were Xu Zhangqing's disciples, not disciples of the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, in Qingyao's view, if she did not study hard and cultivate, she would be gossiped about by others.

Eldest Senior Sister Sun Shangxiang and Second Senior Brother Lin Feng were at least Earth Grade Golden Cores.

Only she was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and felt a bit of pressing urgency.

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Qingyao is indeed diligent."

Sun Shangxiang blinked her eyes and asked for instructions: "Then Master, my senior brother and I are going out?"

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand with a mixture of laughter and exasperation: "Go, go."

Immediately, Sun Shangxiang pulled Li Muyao, and the two summoned a Green Flying Boat, flying toward the outside of Qingmu Peak at extreme speed.

Xu Zhangqing watched them depart, then curled the corner of his mouth: "It would be best to bring a child back!"

After about half an hour, Third Disciple Qingyao stepped on a Green Bamboo Leaf, drifted down lightly, saw him standing in the courtyard, and hastily cupped her hands: "Master!"

Xu Zhangqing looked at her and reminded: "Yao Er, cultivation should not be rushed."

Qingyao grinned and said foolishly: "Disciple is not tired."

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward and touched her head: "Among Teacher's senior sisters and senior brothers, although Fourth Senior Brother is honest and his cultivation technique is not as good as Second Senior Brother's, he is the most hardworking.

The Hun-Nourishing Grass back then was cultivated with his help."

Qingyao shook her head: "Master, this time I did not go to find Fourth Senior Uncle."

Xu Zhangqing was slightly surprised: "What, you've made a new friend again?"

Qingyao pointed toward the direction of the peak top: "Fifth Senior Aunt is too lonely!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhangqing froze for a moment, and thought to himself: "Master went to Tai Xu Lie Yuan and will not return in a short time.

Eldest Senior Sister has returned, but is suspected of betraying the Immortal Sect.

As for me, I focused my energy on the Lingqu Sect side, and forgot about Fifth Senior Sister!"
