"Gu Xuan, this is Elder Yun, the patriarch of my sword lineage."

Seeing that Gu Xuan showed no intention of greeting them.

In the past, the hot-tempered Yun Zhongzi would definitely have pointed at Gu Xuan's nose and scolded him as hopeless.

They learned Gu Xuan's true cultivation level.

He then shamelessly approached and introduced Elder Yun, who had come with him, to Gu Xuan.

A man is capable of bending and stretching.

For the sake of the Cloud Soaring Sect, what's wrong with me, Yun Zhongzi, being a sycophant?!

“I think we’ve met before,” Gu Xuan said with a smile, glancing at Elder Yun.

Elder Yun was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized something.

He had boasted that with his mid-stage God King realm strength, he could handle any conspiracy or trickery.

As a result, I was proven wrong.

He was almost killed by Ji Wuming of the Wanjie Sect.

A slight embarrassment appeared on his aged face as he asked with surprise and doubt, "That mysterious expert who killed Ji Wuming, was it you?!"

“That’s right, it’s me.” Gu Xuan shrugged.

Since the foundation has already been laid, there's no point in continuing to pretend.

It would be better to be honest with each other.

"Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist, and also for saving the Cloud Soaring Sect." Elder Yun suddenly realized and solemnly bowed to Gu Xuan.

Yun Zhongzi understood and quickly expressed his gratitude.

If Gu Xuan hadn't appeared in time, they would probably have been killed by Ji Wuming that day.

The entire high-ranking officials of the Yunxiao Sect were wiped out.

Gu Xuan thanked the two of them.

He waved his hand dismissively, saying it was a trivial matter.

After all, he only wanted to save his eldest disciple Fang Li; saving Yun Zhongzi and the others was just a side benefit.

Elder Yun was not one to mince words, and said, “Fellow Daoist, I have a question, and I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me.”

"Please feel free to speak."

Gu Xuan was moved, wondering what Elder Yun wanted to ask.

"The mysterious female powerhouse who destroyed four major sects, killed the Holy Son of the Myriad Tribulations Sect, and saved the Cloud Soaring Sect, is she one of your allies?"

"Indeed, it is my mount."

After Gu Xuan finished speaking, he called out to the top of the paulownia tree.

"Chen Li, come down and meet me."

He finished speaking.

Amidst the attention of the crowd, the peerless and elegant Shenhuang Chen Li, dressed in a fiery red feather dress, stood out.

Carrying an ethereal and otherworldly charm, it slowly drifted down from mid-air.

Her black hair flowed freely, and she possessed an ethereal beauty.

As her skirt swayed, her long, fair, and delicate legs were inadvertently revealed.

This made it even harder for the men present to look away.

Elder Yun quickly regained his senses, coughed lightly to calm his inner turmoil, and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, is this your mount?"

“That’s right, her true form is a divine phoenix,” Gu Xuan explained succinctly.

"What?! The Divine Phoenix?!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yun was deeply shocked, as if a storm was raging within him.

His eyes widened in astonishment!

Yun Zhongzi and Liu Ruyan, who were standing to the side, also showed expressions of shock.

Oh my god!

It was actually the legendary Divine Phoenix!

This is no ordinary phoenix, but an extremely rare royal member of the phoenix clan.

Those who can achieve the body of a divine phoenix are all kings who lead their clans within the phoenix race.

In that era of gods and demons.

The Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan, who once ruled over a vast realm, have vanished without a trace, and no one knows where they went.

Unexpectedly, they actually saw a living, breathing divine phoenix today!

Moreover, this divine phoenix became Gu Xuan's mount, so what level of cultivation has he reached?

Is he really only at the Quasi-Emperor level?!

Or rather, what methods did he actually use?

Only then can one conquer a divine phoenix and make it willingly become one's mount.

Liu Ruyan was shocked.

Suddenly I realized that I had truly found an amazing master.

Compared to the shock of the three people.

Only Fang Li and Jiang Qingqing showed little reaction.

They began their cultivation journey halfway through, and thus knew very little about the secrets of the cultivation world.

I realized that Sister Shen's true form was actually a phoenix.

Master is truly amazing!

The mount was actually a legendary phoenix.

This moment.

In their hearts, Gu Xuan was even more noble and glorious.

......

The little incident is over.

Elder Yun reiterated his decision.

Gu Xuan was promoted to the seventh patriarch of the Yunxiao Sect, and all his disciples, regardless of their number, were considered holy sons and daughters.

This includes preaching and other matters, as long as the Yunxiao Sect no longer faces the danger of destruction.

I will never bother Gu Xuan, so that he can rest assured.

In terms of the general survey.

If Gu Xuan doesn't want his disciples to participate.

The Yunxiao Sect respects its decision and will not interfere.

After saying their goodbyes, the two left to savor the pleasant surprise they had received from Gu Xuan.

As Gu Xuan watched the two figures disappear into the distance, he suddenly realized that he really didn't need to conceal his cultivation level in the first place.

Ultimately, it was too conservative.

In the end, they suffered the same torments as cattle and horses in their previous life, only to lose their lives in the end. What did they gain?

After his death, he was left with only the elderly burying their children.

The parents were devastated. They had finally hoped that their son would get married and start a family, only to have him end up like this.

If a man has a beautiful wife, not only will she become another man's wife, but the family fortune he has worked so hard to earn will also fall into the hands of another man.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

Having come to this world, one need not to toil for a living, and will have no worries about food and clothing.

It can survive for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Gu Xuan naturally only wanted to be content with the status quo, to stop competing internally, and was even unwilling to make any further moves.

Gu Xuan chuckled softly and shook his head slightly.

Forget it, there's no need to bring up the past.

From today onwards, I can finally lie down without any real reason.

Just then.

The system notification tone suddenly sounded!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for triggering a hidden group quest]
