Of course, Lu Yao didn't really attack Hua Shi. When Hua Shi noticed his action, he put down the weapon in his hand. After a long silence, he stared at Hua Shi and the cat in his arms, and then said stiffly: "It's okay, I'm just used to holding a weapon in my hand from time to time. You continue to lead the way."

Hua Shi blinked, not knowing whether he believed Lu Yao's words or not. He then continued walking forward holding the cat.

After wandering around in the Yunxiu Pen space for most of the day, Hua Shi introduced the surrounding scenery to Lu Yao while whispering in the white cat's ear, occasionally scratching the cat's chin and pinching its paws. Lu Yao, who was behind him, picked up and put down the weapon in his hand several times, but Hua Shi was completely unaware.

Only after they finished their tour did Hua Shi turn around again. Seeing Lu Yao's face was ashen and his eyes were strange, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Senior, are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Yao exhaled deeply, and with difficulty moved his eyes away from the white cat, and then said: "This place is nice, with plenty of spiritual energy. I want to stay in Xuanling Pavilion and borrow your space to practice for a few days. Is that okay?"

These words are almost exactly the same as what Xuan Shuzhi and others said at the beginning.

However, this did not surprise Hua Shi. Since the other party came for the Yunxiu Pen Space, they would naturally not leave after taking a look around. Xuan Shuzhi and the others had already greeted Hua Shi. Since the master had spoken, Hua Shi would naturally not refuse.

So when Hua Shi entered the Yunxiu Pen space again, there was one more person coming in with him.

Seeing the number of teams entering the space getting larger and larger, Hua Shi couldn't help but ask the system curiously in his heart: "Why are they all using my space? Don't they have their own space props with so many magic weapons?"

Fang Wei naturally couldn't tell him the reason. Although he also felt that Xuan Shuzhi and others were being too blatant and had no intention of hiding it from Hua Shi, Fang Wei had already been considering revealing some of the truth to Hua Shi, so he didn't say anything and just let this group of people follow Hua Shi into the Yunxiu Pen space.

It was naturally impossible for Hua Shi to stay together with this group of seniors. Hua Shi could not stand this kind of pressure, and the others also thought he was noisy. So after entering the space, Hua Shi was driven away by everyone to practice.

Hua Shi practiced martial arts obediently, and before leaving, he did not forget to take his white cat away as if to declare his sovereignty.

As a result, a group of people stared at the white cat that was being taken away and was being patted on the head by Hua Shi on the way, each with a strange expression on their face.

After a long while, Xuan Shuzhi coughed lightly and said with the corner of his lips curled up: "It was the tacit consent of the evil master. I got used to it after watching it for a long time."

Because it was Xuan Shuzhi who said it, Yi Zhan nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ah Zhi and I have secretly pinched cat paws before."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into another kind of dead silence.

Everyone looked at Yi Zhan expressionlessly, including Xuan Shuzhi.

Yi Zhan quickly raised his hands to show his innocence.

After a long while, someone finally spoke. It was Lu Yao who came to the table in the room and sat down alone. He placed the folding fan that was used as a weapon by the disciples of Fengyu Hall on the table and said in a dull voice, "I can't get used to it."

Wen Zhong and Bai Heng were standing in the corner. It was only then that Wen Zhong finally touched Bai Heng's arm, and Bai Heng stepped forward and said, "The Palace Master is not here right now, so let's talk about the latest intelligence we have obtained."

While everyone here was exchanging information with each other, Hua Shi on the other side was already practicing hard in the training room.

However, Hua Shi was not as focused as usual when practicing today. While practicing, he looked at the white cat beside him and couldn't help but whispered, "Is something big going to happen recently?"

Fang Wei was watching Hua Shi's sword moves, and was about to remind him how to control the angle of the sword, but he couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and asked calmly: "Why do you say that?"

Hua Shi stopped to wipe the sweat off his face, then changed his sword moves and started practicing. While practicing, he said, "I guessed because things have been feeling strange lately. I thought there would be a follow-up to the black snake incident last time, and Master and the others said they would check it out. But we have been waiting in Xuanling Pavilion for such a long time, and there is still no news. Isn't this a very strange thing?"

Fang Wei didn't expect Hua Shi to notice these problems. Sometimes Hua Shi seemed careless and didn't care about many things, but sometimes he seemed particularly sharp in warnings of danger.

Fang Wei asked curiously, "What do you think?"

Hua Shi continued, "I think there must be something fishy going on. If the black snake issue could be easily resolved, Master and the others would have sent a few of our young disciples over. Even if the matter was a little tricky, they would probably have gone over to resolve it themselves. At most, they could have sent a few more people. With their abilities, any one of them would have been very strong. There's no reason why they couldn't resolve anything."

Fang Wei followed his words and said: "Unless..."

Hua Shi nodded and said, "Unless this matter is so big that it is unimaginable, so big that even they can't solve it, so they are all here now, gathering together to discuss countermeasures and find ways to deal with what is going to happen next."

After hearing Hua Shi's guess, Fang Wei fell silent.

Hua Shi's guess was not wrong. Just as Hua Shi said, this matter could not be solved by just telling them about it. Because this was not an ordinary disaster, but a hidden danger that had been buried since the beginning of the entire Xuanqing Continent.

But even though he had some guesses, Hua Shi didn't really panic because of this. He whispered to the other party: "I have discovered that the script of this world does not seem to follow the routine. Every time I feel that there is danger, those dangers are not real dangers. Everything seems to be solved easily, so I don't seem to have to worry too much now."

Fang Wei: “…”

He did not tell Hua Shi that the reason why those dangers were easily resolved was that most of them were arranged by him for Hua Shi in advance, or even if not, they had already been handled by him and others, so Hua Shi did not need to worry.

But this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to resolve.

Hua Shi continued to practice martial arts. After practicing sword skills, he began to meditate. After he finished meditating, Fang Wei quietly left the room and came to the hall where Lu Yao and the others were waiting.

When Fang Wei entered the room, everyone seemed to have just finished discussing something, and no one spoke again, so Fang Wei's appearance almost immediately attracted everyone's attention. Fang Wei noticed that everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him, he raised his eyes to meet everyone's gaze, and felt that those eyes were either on his head or on his tail, and he didn't know why they seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Fang Wei asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xuan Shuzhi coughed lightly, calling Yi Zhan beside him back to his senses. They both shook their heads and said nothing.

Jiang Tingwan was now confused and didn't know what he had heard here just now. When he saw Fang Wei, who looked like a white cat, he immediately pounced towards him and pretended to catch the white cat in his arms.

However, Fang Wei instinctively dodged to the side, and at the same time, Lu Yao stood up and pulled Jiang Tingwan back, and looked around the room to show his friends as a warning.

Fang Wei seemed to understand something suddenly.

The golden light flickered, and in just a moment, the white cat disappeared from the spot. Instead, the evil master Fang Wei, dressed in black and wearing a mask, appeared in front of everyone.

The eyes of the crowd changed instantly, with more respect in their eyes. Of course, there were also a few people who had a flash of disappointment in their eyes, and withdrew their hands that were about to touch the cat in a lonely manner.

For example, Yi Zhan.

Lu Yao had no expression on his face, but his eyes trembled slightly. He bent his fingers slightly behind his back, and his Adam's apple moved up and down. Then he lowered his head and called softly, "Your subordinate greets the Palace Master."

After Lu Yao finished speaking, Bai Heng also spoke with a slightly hoarse voice: "This subordinate greets the Palace Master."

Next came Xuan Shuzhi, Yi Zhan, Wen Zhong and others. Except for Jiang Tingwan who was still at a loss at the moment, everyone greeted Fang Wei's return with solemn expressions.

At this moment, all the people here are the big shots of the evil way, and they are also Fang Wei's most trusted subordinates or friends. They don't have so many red tape in front of Fang Wei, but this moment is completely different in everyone's eyes. Because after a thousand years, after the evil way declined for a whole thousand years, it finally welcomed back its true master.

No one spoke again, all waiting for Fang Wei's response.

However, after a long period of silence, the first words Fang Wei said were not the words they were waiting for.

Fang Wei said softly: "You have been tired."

From the incident a thousand years ago to the present, the evil path has gone from its former heyday to its current decline. Some of these people still insist on staying in the evil path, while others take some people away and start over in order to save the lives of their disciples. Some people disregard their own safety to save others, and some people force themselves to desperate situations for revenge.

No one has it easy.

When Fang Wei said this, Lu Yao's eyes suddenly turned red, Wen Zhong and Bai Heng looked away, Yi Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything, and even Xuan Shuzhi, who was usually the most steady, couldn't help but cover his face with the folding fan in his hand.

"Only Ji Yan is gone." Xuan Shuzhi's voice was a little strange, but he soon returned to his usual slightly smiling expression. "He is now following the Lord of the Spiritual Path and has taken over an empty shell of the evil path. It seems that he has no intention of coming back."

Fang Wei shook his head, but didn't finish his words.

The others' eyes were still fixed on him. Fang Wei knew that he still had a lot to explain to everyone, so he said, "Although you said so, it's a pity that my current appearance cannot be considered as a true return."

And if he wants to come back, it may not be that easy.

Lu Yao frowned and said first, "I competed with Hua Shi not long ago. Although his strength is not strong enough, his progress is very fast. As long as he keeps practicing, he will be able to enter the Abyss of Misfortune and save people in less than half a year."

Fang Wei knew all this. He was the person closest to Hua Shi, so naturally he knew Hua Shi's cultivation situation best. Just as Lu Yao said, if he continued to practice like this, Hua Shi would be able to enter the Abyss of Disaster and rescue him within half a year.

But unfortunately, it seems that they no longer have half a year to prepare.

And this is exactly what Fang Wei wanted to say to everyone this time.
