Chapter 61: Concern It turns out that Lingshan Daojun has such a broad mind. ...
Xie Hanyi stopped ten feet in front of Mu Fuyun, protecting her and Jiang Hanqiu behind him.
"Junior brother."
After getting a breath, Jiang Hanqiu quickly stood up straight, adjusted his spiritual energy, took a step forward, and protected Mu Fuyu.
When she first saw Xie Hanyi, she was really shocked.
She was not a direct disciple of the previous generation leader Qi Guiyuan. She originally joined Tianyan and practiced under another elder. Therefore, she was not very familiar with Qi Guiyuan's last disciple.
Later, Xie Hanyi secluded himself for many years, not caring about worldly affairs, and had little interaction with other people in the sect except the sect leader Qi Yuanbai.
Even Jiang Hanqiu, the sect elder and the head of Luoxia Peak, was somewhat unfamiliar with him.
In Jiang Hanqiu's memory, he vaguely remembered that after Xie Hanyi was injured, it was no longer suitable for him to stay away from the sect. Therefore, he never thought that he would come here in person.
But thinking that Mu Fuyun was his only disciple after all, and that he had stood up for her when they were in the sect, her coming today didn't seem so abrupt.
Anyway, if it were her, no matter what, if something happened to her disciples, she would definitely rush over from the sect.
With Xie Hanyi around, she felt much more at ease.
"You are... Taoist Lingshan." Cang Yan squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Hanyi for a moment, recognizing his identity.
He used the honorific title "Lingshan Daojun" instead of calling him by his name.
With the reputation of being the best swordsman in the world, even he subconsciously showed more respect.
"It's me." Xie Hanyi answered coldly, and then planned to take Mu Fuyun and Jiang Hanqiu away.
Before Cang Yan could speak to stop them, the demon cultivators below who had just been dealt with by Jiang Hanqiu could no longer hold back.
They had heard of the name of Lingshan Taoist, but had never seen him in person. No one knew what happened decades ago. Moreover, they were in their own territory and with the Demon Lord there, they felt they could fight back.
"Stop, this is the Demon Realm. Can you just leave if you want to?" One of them took a step forward, waving his sleeves and shouting.
Xie Hanyi ignored him, didn't even glance at him, and turned away with the two of them.
Seeing that he didn't take them seriously, several demon cultivators became angry, jumped up and chased after him, gathering demonic energy to attack them.
From beginning to end, Cang Yan saw their words and actions, but did not stop them. It was obvious that he was intentionally condoning them and wanted to use them to test Xie Hanyi's background.
Sensing the attack from behind, Jiang Hanqiu subconsciously swung out a sword, instantly blocking the path of several people.
However, the other side was large in number and had a strong momentum. She was injured and could withstand one or two blows, but she was afraid she could not hold out for long.
Fortunately, Xie Hanyi is here.
He stopped where he was and turned around without moving a step or drawing his sword. He just raised his palm upwards slightly, and powerful spiritual power was pushed out, forcing dozens of people to unable to move forward even a single step.
"Although this is the Demon Realm, the one I want to take away is my disciple. Could it be that the Demon Lord won't allow it?"
As he spoke, he pointed his palm forward and moved only an inch before the dozens of demon cultivators were crushed to the ground, unable to move.
Cang Yan's expression gradually grew serious. Although he hadn't made a move, he could already sense Xie Hanyi's strength. He was definitely not inferior to his own, and was likely even much stronger than him.
"As expected of you, the Taoist Master of Lingshan." He paused, then smiled at Xie Hanyi. "Since you're one of them, I won't stop you. However, there's one thing I'm not sure about, and I'd appreciate your clarification. Why would a Taoist Master of such stature accept a female cultivator like this—one with a shameful past—as his disciple?"
When Mu Fuyun heard this, she guessed that the "unbearable past" he mentioned was the four years she had spent in the Hehuan Sect. It was only because of Mu Fuyue's reputation that she changed her words.
I just don’t know if Xie Hanyi knows about her past.
Mu Fuyun never looked down on himself, but at this moment, looking at Xie Hanyi, he suddenly felt a little unsure.
"The past is gone, and the present is like this. I, Xie Hanyi, never care about false reputation." Xie Hanyi felt Mu Fuyun's gaze and glanced at her sideways. There was no change in the expression on her face, and the tone of her voice was not much ups and downs, but it made people feel at ease.
"Really?" Cang Yan sneered, "So Taoist Lingshan has such a broad mind."
Jiang Hanqiu couldn't stand the sarcasm in his tone and retorted, "What do you mean by 'unbearable'? The Demon Lord wasted his time in the Immortal Realm, was that also considered 'unbearable'?"
The demon cultivators around fell silent at the same time, and lowered their heads cautiously, not daring to look at Cang Yan's reaction.
Cang Yan's face darkened and he clenched his hands into fists at his sides.
"roll."
The tone was unfriendly, but it also meant to let them go.
So no one stopped him.
The three of them flew over the Demon Realm on their swords.
The Demon Realm was unable to use Tian Yan's teleportation array. It was unknown how long it took until the sun set and the day was about to end before they crossed the boundary between the Immortal and Demon Realms.
As we got closer to Beiwu Town, the endless expanse of yellow sand reappeared between heaven and earth.
Looking down from a high place, on the flat sand dunes illuminated by the orange-red glow, small black dots slowly move forward.
"That's—" Jiang Hanqiu took a closer look and murmured, "Our disciple?"
After saying that, Mu Fuyun also looked over.
As the distance shortened, the small black dots gradually enlarged and turned into familiar figures.
It was Yun Ni and the others, as well as Chu Ye, Song Xinghe, Zhan Yao and many other disciples who stayed in Beiwu Town. They were approaching on their swords, sticking close to the sand.
"Master!" Yun Ni was at the front of the line, the first to see their return, and shouted from afar, "And Uncle Xie and Junior Sister Mu! They're back!"
All of a sudden, more than a dozen disciples sped up and flew towards this side.
"I'm back, I'm back!"
"That's good."
"Are you okay?"
The disciples breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and surrounded the three of them, looking them over and rejoicing.
Yun Ni first bowed to Jiang Hanqiu, then came over and hugged Mu Fuyun, patted her on the back, and then let go, saying, "Junior Sister Mu, you really scared me!"
Several disciples came over and looked at her face carefully. Seeing that she looked pale but in good spirits, they felt relieved.
Yu Cen even stuffed a bottle of Guyuan Dan into her hand.
Zhan Yao didn't say anything, but she stood by and stared at her from beginning to end.
It was the first time that Mu Fuyun was worried about by so many people at the same time. He was surprised and a little at a loss.
Even though my relationship with everyone has eased a lot since I entered the inner gate, I still can't get used to the feeling of being cared for.
She couldn't help but look back and glance at Xie Hanyi who was half a meter away behind her.
The master and the disciple looked at each other. Although he didn't say a word and had no expression, Mu Fuyun suddenly felt much calmer.
"Thank you all for your concern. Fortunately, Master and Uncle Jiang are here to protect me. I'm fine."
As she spoke, she took two steps back and bowed to everyone.
Zhan Yao moved aside.
Yun Ni came up and helped her up. "No need to thank me, we didn't do anything. It's just that we're all from the same sect, spending every day together, so we should look after each other. If something happens to you, we have to do something to live up to our fellow disciples and the teachings we've received."
Everyone nodded in agreement, even Chu Ye and Song Xinghe showed approval in their eyes.
"Okay, now it's safe for the time being, everyone can rest assured. Let's go back to Beiwu Town first and rest for a night. Tomorrow morning, after comforting the people, we will return to the sect in batches." Jiang Hanqiu showed the aura of an elder, knowing that Xie Hanyi would not care about other things anymore, so he gave the order.
The team of three grew into more than twenty people, and they set out again and returned to Beiwu Town.
Yun Ni and his men continued to deal with the aftermath, while Mu Fuyun returned to the communication center to rest at everyone's strong request.
There were still not many people in the communication center except Xu Lian, who was standing blankly in the front hall, not knowing what she was thinking. When she saw Mu Fuyun coming back, her whole body stiffened and her expression became complicated. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her lips moved twice and no words came out.
It only took Mu Fuyun a moment to vaguely understand. It must be Xu Lian who told Cang Yan about her affairs despite Chu Ye's warning.
She asked herself, it was impossible for her to greet with a smile someone who harbored ill will towards her, so, regardless of Xu Lian's reaction, she just pretended not to see her and walked straight past her. The indifference in her attitude was not the indifference she had in the sect before, but a coldness as ice with contempt and disdain.
Xu Lian bit her lower lip and watched her figure passing by in silence, not daring to make a sound.
After walking through the hall and arriving at his residence in the backyard, Mu Fuyun tidied himself up a little but did not meditate or regulate his breathing.
Although she was injured, it was not serious. After taking two ordinary Guyuan Pills, she had almost recovered.
But I kept thinking about Cang Yan’s previous words “the unbearable past”.
In the sect, apart from Chu Ye and Song Xinghe, there were probably very few people who knew about it. She wasn't worried about anyone telling others, nor did she think that joining the Hehuan Sect was really that "unbearable", but she still felt a sense of guilt towards Xie Hanyi.
After much thought, she decided to take this opportunity to tell Xie Hanyi about the original owner's past.
However, just as she got up and walked out of the house, came to Xie Hanyi's house, raised her hand and knocked on the door, she suddenly felt a familiar warm current quietly surging in her dantian.
