Chapter 501: Returning to the Sect

Before long, Changli Island, Yupan Peak.

Chen Hang sat in the main hall, Brother Tu Shan Ge led a group of stewards and leader of the strongmen on the island to come forward to pay respects, neatly, and with a rough scan, there were more than twenty people.

And after a ceremony, after saying a few words to Chen Hang, these people didn't dare to disturb too much, and respectfully resigned, bowing their heads out of the hall.

"In the time I've been away, the changes on the island have been quite significant; even that Shou-Spring peach tree has become lush with leaves and branches. As the saying goes, spring departs, summer arrives, autumn returns, and winter follows; time flies like an arrow, turning like duckweed.

The scene before my eyes just happens to correspond to this principle."

Chen Hang smiled and said.

Yupan Peak is the highest place on the island, majestic and unique among the peaks.

At this time, Chen Hang looked out of the hall and saw a hundred-foot peach tree that was hugged by dozens of people standing under the sky, the crown of the tree was towering and opened, exploring into the clouds, covering a radius of a mile, the branches were always prosperous, and the flower color was always fragrant.

Occasionally, a breeze blew slowly, and the misty fragrance on the lush flowers and leaves seemed to drift into the hall, lingering on the tip of the nose, as if it existed and yet did not.

If you talk about the true origin of this peach tree, it was grown step by step from the Shou Chun peach seed given to him by Chen Lu when Chen Hang first arrived in the East Sea.

Back then, Chen Hang went to the East Sea Dragon Palace for the sake of borrowing the cave heaven to practice, and on the way, he happened to meet Chen Chan and Cui Jingzhong.

After meeting and knowing Chen Chan, because Chen Chan acted as a middleman, and at that time he also cultivated sword escape, ranking eleventh in the Purple Palace of the Sui Dan evaluation, he could barely be considered to have a little reputation.

Later, when visiting Chen Lu of the Rouxuan Mansion, this person not only treated him warmly, but also had wine banquets every day, and also specially prepared a heavy gift as a meeting gift.

This Shou Chun peach seed was one of them.

Actually, the greatest function of the Shou Chun peach seed is to gather spirit and collect energy. Once planted, it can merge with the earth vein underground, and then subtly nourish the earth energy and improve the spirit vein grade.

However, this effect is very small for Chen Hang today, almost zero.

Because even if the Shou Chun peach seed grows up, it can only raise the spirit vein to the "Geng" level, and then there is no further progress.

But the abundance of spiritual energy on Changli Island was already above the "Geng" level spirit vein, so the Shou Chun peach seed naturally couldn't help, but instead took advantage of the abundant spiritual energy on the island, growing better than ordinary Shou Chun peach trees.

And this peach seed was planted by Chen Hang himself after he was promoted to a true disciple.

When he went to Xiping Land, it had just sprouted from the soil, and a few tender buds were only an inch tall,

But looking at it now, it already has a towering form of a hundred zhang, its branches winding like a horned dragon, countless petals drifting and flying, a scorching expanse, fully displaying its lush appearance.

Between the rotation of time.

It truly is enough to make things change and people shift...

Chen Hang didn't move at this time, just stood with his hands behind his back, looked quietly for a while, and his thoughts turned a few times.

Chen Lu, Chen Chan—

Chen Hang had never forgotten the help these two gave him back then.

The former is easy to say, although Chen Hang never went to the Rouxuan Mansion in the East Sea again, he and Chen Lu have always had some correspondence, and after Chen Hang was promoted to a true disciple, he also ordered people to return a favor.

Only Chen Chan...

"In the final analysis, still can't get around a Chen Yushu? This person is truly the root of all evils, the end of all disasters.

The inauspiciousness of the world, if not him, then who?"

Chen Hang shook his head secretly and thought to himself.

The news that Chen Chan was punished by being thrown into the White Paint Bitter River because she touched Chen Yushu's anger over matters like Chen Zhi was no longer a secret within the vast Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong, and almost everyone knew it.

After all, Chen Chan was not an unknown person in the sect.

She was a true disciple of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong, a student of the Great Yuanshu Zhenjun Fu Kuang, the dignified Master of Meicen Mountain, and a person who was expected to climb to the upper realm in the future.

If such a true disciple disappeared for no reason, I am afraid it would set off many storms in the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong, causing suspicion among the disciples and causing many rumors.

Therefore, on that day, Chen Bai and Chen Ying also led a group of Heavenly Demon Generals and captured Chen Chan openly in broad daylight.

The commotion caused by this matter in the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong need not be mentioned.

And thinking about it carefully, the deep meaning in this made Chen Hang also slightly awe-struck...

Although Chen Chan was forced to have no choice but to serve under Chen Yushu and was also regarded as Chen Yushu's party, her identity was after all a true disciple of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong.

The nobility of a true disciple, I am afraid everyone in Xudu knows it well.

And a dignified true disciple, without any faults, just because she touched Chen Yushu's anger, was stripped of her power and glory and had to be punished helplessly.

Not only did the Supreme Master of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong turn a blind eye to this matter.

Even Chen Chan's master, the Great Yuanshu Zhenjun Fu Kuang who held a prominent position in the sect, did not say a word to save her.

After this matter, Chen Yushu's prestige in the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong made Chen Hang somewhat unable to see through.

Does the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong really believe that Chen Yushu can steadily pick the immortal industry and achieve the Heavenly Immortal Dao after merging the luck of the Six Sects?

And the three governing ancestors of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong, perhaps not only the Daoist Lord Xuanming Wuxian.

Even the other two Daoist Lords also have deep expectations for Chen Yushu? Thinking that he will dominate the Xudu situation in the future and become the master of the vast Southern Land?

If it is really such appreciation.

Then compared to him, Chen Hang is a notch lower.

After all, among the three governing ancestors of Yuchen today, Tongxuan is naturally Chen Hang's most solid shield, and Weiling, because of his friendship with Tongxuan and having seen Chen Hang's sword Dao talent, also has a few points of appreciation for Chen Hang.

Only Master Shan Jian—

Although this person accepted Zhang Shou as a named disciple, his regard for Ji Fakai was far beyond what Zhang Shou could compare to, let alone Chen Hang.

Since Ji Fakai joined the Yuchen sect to practice, Master Shan Jian had invested great effort in Ji Fakai.

The two are not masters and apprentices, but they are better than masters and apprentices!

And getting the appreciation of the governing ancestors of the sect not only means that the power is rising, the Dao foundation is solid, but also means being able to come into contact with deeper secrets in the sect and the true foundation of the sect!

Such as Yuchen's Universe Thunder Pool.

Also such as the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong's Zhou Tian Chan Du...

"If it is really as I thought, I am afraid that in the final battle in the future, Chen Yushu will take out the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong's treasure of the world, which is not impossible?"

Chen Hang's eyes moved.

With the current situation, it is impossible to easily plan against Chen Yushu, and killing this villain is definitely not a matter of a few hundred years, it needs to be planned from a long-term perspective, and it will definitely be a life-and-death battle, needing to go all out!

But before that, cutting off the few eagle dogs beside him and ruining part of Chen Yushu's wings is not difficult to do.

"Chen Bai... This person was also one of the top ten chiefs, a person who almost reached the position of Yuchen true disciple, then defected to the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong, and became a loyal eagle dog under Chen Yushu.

And when Chen Chan was demoted to the White Paint Bitter River, Chen Bai was also the one who jumped the most happily.

I wonder if the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong will let him go into battle at the Danyuan Assembly?"

Chen Hang had a trace of killing intent in his eyes, and secretly thought.

Although I don't know what the rules of this Danyuan Assembly are, the Danyuan Assembly is after all a blessing for the cultivators of the Eight Sects and Six Schools, not a killing field specially used for refining poison.

There will be wins and losses on the meeting, but I think there will not be too many casualties, otherwise this is also against the original intention of the governing ancestors of various sects.

If Chen Bai really goes into battle, Chen Hang should naturally try his best to take his life.

But if he is constrained by the law and it is difficult to do so, he should also block him from the top ten, so that he can never get the fortune!

And although Chen Hang was touched by the Shou Chun peach tree outside the hall and fell into thought.

But to outsiders, he just pondered slightly, then shook his head, and moved his gaze again.

"It hasn't been easy for you to handle the affairs of the island recently, right?"

Chen Hang turned to Brother Tu Shan Ge and smiled.

"Old Master, don't say that, I'm just doing some miscellaneous things, it's not hard at all, the big things are all sent by spiritual messages, and the Old Master decides them personally.

I'm not flattering, if you talk about hard work, the Old Master is the one who is truly laborious, not only needing to deal with internal affairs, but also needing to worry about the external affairs of Elder Xue Jing."

Brother Tu Shan Ge laughed, and hurriedly spread his hands:

"And I only manage a few miscellaneous things here, and there are many stewards on the island to help, I only work for half the time in a month, and I have leisure to drink tea at ordinary times, which is actually very happy and carefree!"

Chen Hang pointed at Brother Tu Shan Ge and shook his head:

"You and I are friends of humble beginnings, so there's no need to say these polite words. How much effort you have spent on this island, I have also seen it.

This time I practiced outside the sky, I also got a lot of external medicine, among which there are several types that can nourish the spirit.

Later, I will hand them over to you, and you can take them to the Dan Fu Hall and ask the Daoists inside to make them into pills, so the efficacy will be even better."

Hearing this, Brother Tu Shan Ge felt a warm current surging in his heart.

His lips trembled a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but finally held back, just bowing respectfully.

"And looking at the energy on your body, your recent cultivation has also made no small progress, which is gratifying." Chen Hang changed the subject and said.

Speaking of this, Brother Tu Shan Ge's spirit was secretly lifted, but it was not because of himself, but for another reason.

"Speaking of cultivation, I have a matter that I must report to the Old Master. This is truly a small good news, but for now, let me sell a pass."

Brother Tu Shan Ge smiled proudly:

"When I saw the Old Master, I had already sent a spiritual message, but this person happened to be out, and she will arrive later."

"Since that's the case, I'll wait and see."

Chen Hang turned his thoughts slightly, and guessed who Brother Tu Shan Ge was talking about, but he didn't reveal it, just nodded.

Afterwards, Chen Hang also talked to Brother Tu Shan Ge about some old things and chatted about some idle topics.

Because every once in a while, Brother Tu Shan Ge, Xue Jing, and Wei Yuanzhong would organize the matters into books and pass them to Chen Hang for his reading.

Therefore, although Chen Hang was not in Xudu, he was not unfamiliar with the matters inside and outside the sect. Since there were no major events, there was no need to mention them again.

And this wait didn't take long. After half a cup of tea, a ray of light broke through the clouds and flew straight toward the hall.

Chen Hang saw that the light was intertwined with blue and green colors, shining and flowing, and it was refined and pure.

Obviously, the master of the light walked the path of the orthodox Xuanmen, not a demon or ghost, and the Dao practice was not bad.

"Old Master!"

A crisp female voice came from the light.

"Brother Tu Shan Ningning."

Chen Hang smiled.

In an instant, the blue and green light fell outside the hall, and in a flash, a figure appeared in the light.

It was a girl wearing a lake green skirt, with fluttering water sleeves and silver rings on her hands.

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, her eyebrows were like distant emeralds, her skin was like white snow, and she was extremely pretty and cute. When her eyes blinked, she was full of uncontrollable excitement and joy, like lake waves shining.

And on the girl's waist, there was a long sword, and the shape was simple and ancient.

As if sensing the energy on Chen Hang, the sword flickered slightly, and then made a few clanging sounds, as if wanting to throw itself to Chen Hang's side.

"Don't bark blindly!"

Brother Tu Shan Ningning originally wanted to go forward to talk to Chen Hang, but was disturbed by the sword on her waist.

She punched the sword body helplessly, which made the sword sound gradually lower.

Brother Tu Shan Ge couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and turned to Chen Hang:

"After the Old Master went outside the sky, Ningning also started to specialize in sword art, and her aptitude was originally higher than mine, and she is the most clever one among our foxes. After some blind research, she also practiced some ways. Recently, she has been making trouble to go outside the sect to kill demons and eliminate evil. Originally, I didn't know this girl was so crazy, and I hope the Old Master doesn't blame her."

Brother Tu Shan Ningning touched her head awkwardly when she heard this, and her little nose twitched.

Although she hadn't seen Chen Hang for many years, she was not shy when she saw him again, still the same appearance as before, and her closeness did not decrease.

"Sword Dao?"

Chen Hang pondered slightly, and pointed out a sword energy.

Seeing this, Brother Tu Shan Ningning's eyes lit up, hurriedly sacrificed the sword in the air, pinched a magic formula, and greeted the sword energy with all her strength.

The light and shadow in the hall suddenly ran around, the sound of gold and iron clashing was endless, a group of cold light was shining, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, making people feel quite urgent.

After about half a stick of incense, seeing that Brother Tu Shan Ningning was already showing some difficulty, and her energy was short, the sword energy slowly disappeared and disappeared.

"Old Master, how is it? How is it?"

Seeing this, Brother Tu Shan Ningning was not discouraged, she put away the flying sword, but a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Not bad."

Chen Hang nodded slightly, and said again:

"It's just that your sword momentum is too sharp, and you don't give yourself room to move. In a real fight, you will suffer a dark loss here. In fact, sword control has three realms: method, art, and momentum. Regarding the use of momentum—"

After pointing out the key points to Brother Tu Shan Ningning, Chen Hang also found a red copper fire furnace from his sleeve and bestowed it.

This fire furnace was the protective treasure of the Miaobao Land True Person Qian Lie. However, when he faced Chen Hang back then, this person was easily beheaded by a sword, and before he could use his various means, he had already died in an instant.

His hard-earned savings naturally fell into Chen Hang's hands.

"I see that your self-protection method is still insufficient, so I will give you this furnace to reward your work, and hope you don't slack off." Chen Hang said.

"Is it a Dharma artifact?"

Brother Tu Shan Ningning held the fire furnace carefully, overjoyed.

"I will definitely practice sword art well, and I dare not slack off at all, hoping to help the Old Master in the future, and when the Old Master goes to fight outside the sky, take me with you!"

Brother Tu Shan Ningning put away the fire furnace and bowed seriously, her little face solemn.

Brother Tu Shan Ge couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and after Brother Tu Shan Ningning left happily, before long, a golden boat slowly drilled out of the cloud sea, like a group of golden suns burning, coming toward the hall.

"Today the Old Master is back, and the island is very lively, even Elder Xue Jing has come."

Brother Tu Shan Ge obviously recognized whose golden boat this was, and sighed.

And after the golden boat landed, Chen Hang also met with Xue Jing who walked out of the golden boat, and talked about some cold and warmth.

And after inviting this person into the hall and chatting for a few words, Xue Jing put down the teacup and said:

"Coming here today, besides coming to pay respects to the True Person, there are indeed two things that need to be reported first."

"Oh?" Chen Hang also put down the teacup slightly.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that in my humble opinion, we shouldn't act on our own, and we should ask the True Person to make the decision personally."

Xue Jing smiled.

"Actually, it is not a major matter, but according to my humble opinion, it is not appropriate for us to act arbitrarily; we should ask the True Person to make the decision personally."

Xue Jing said with a smile.
