The two hall masters reached an agreement and decided not to delay any further.
Soon, the disciples of the two sects boarded their spirit boats and headed back home.
"Feng Xuan, call all the disciples who went to the palace together. I have something to ask."
Inside the spirit boat, Feng Xuan received an order from Master Feng and immediately said yes to go down.
A moment later, all the disciples from the palace gathered together.
Feng Yingxiu sat steadily at the head of the long table and tapped the table lightly: "Sit down."
"Thank you, Uncle Master."
After everyone thanked them in unison, they sat down at random, without any particular order.
Feng Yingxiu saw this and smiled: "It seems that you are in great danger in the palace."
If they had not experienced adventures together, this group of candidates for the leader of the veins, who had rarely interacted with each other before, would not have become close so quickly.
Hearing this, Feng Xuan recalled everything that happened in the palace and couldn't help but sigh, "Master, what you said is absolutely right. If it weren't for a senior who showed up to save us, we would have been almost wiped out."
After saying this, Li Changting looked at Feng Xuan strangely and said nothing.
When Feng Yingxiu heard the words "annihilated," her tone suddenly grew serious. "How could it be so dangerous? What did you encounter in that palace?"
Feng Xuan opened his mouth to answer when he suddenly saw a gust of wind blowing in the hall for no reason.
After the whistle, a woman suddenly appeared beside Feng Yingxiu.
The person who came was Xiang Sheng, who had just come out of the Hunyuan Secret Realm.
She glanced at the disciples in the hall and smiled slightly: "It seems that I have returned just in time."
Feng Yingxiu looked slightly surprised, as if she didn't expect her to show up in public.
When Feng Xuan and others saw the woman's face, they looked even more surprised and confused.
With their cultivation level, they can easily remember all the faces of the Sword Sect.
At this moment, everyone recognized her at a glance. The woman who appeared out of nowhere was the junior sister of Wuming Peak, Shen Xiang.
But with such a mysterious aura and such a calm and composed tone, how could Chen Xiang look like a junior sister?
And this sound...
Seeing that they were all as silent as wooden stakes, Li Changting curled his lips and simply stood up and saluted:
"Disciple greets Uncle Li!"
He knew what was going on, and since he was standing here before his senior, he was not going to hide his identity as the Sword Master any longer.
These words were like a bolt from the blue.
Feng Xuan and the others were shocked as if struck by lightning, and hurriedly followed suit and saluted:
"Uncle Li!"
"Greetings, Uncle Master Li!"
“…”
"Everyone, get up."
Xiang Shengfuxiu sat next to Feng Yingxiu and said, "I just happen to want to know how you got from the right side of the palace to the back hall. Is it because of Dong Jinghuan?"
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned again, except Li Changting, who leaned back in his chair with a smug smile on his face.
Feng Yingxiu wasn't surprised this time. She smiled and said, "When I heard what Feng Xuan said just now, I guessed that the senior he was talking about was most likely you."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly: "It's my job."
No matter what Qin Tianque's purpose was, the benefits she gained were real.
In exchange, she would fulfill her duties as the sword master before the two of them broke the paper.
Feng Yingxiu heard this, and the smile in her eyes became more genuine. Then she turned to look at Feng Xuan and the others, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She spoke in a solemn voice:
"As you can see, the claim that 'the Lidian Sword Master is the Ancient God of the Moon' is all just a rumor.
Your uncle Li’s real name is Chen Li, and she is a female cultivator of my human race!
The fact that you were able to come out of the palace alive is entirely due to your uncle's protection in secret. What are you all standing there for? Why don't you thank him?"
Feng Xuan and the others woke up as if from a dream, and quickly stood up and saluted again, saying in unison:
"Thank you, uncle!"
"You have already thanked me at the palace."
Xiang Sheng waved his sleeves to let everyone sit down, and said calmly: "Let's talk about business."
"Uncle Li, let me tell you."
Li Changting spoke at the right time: "Friend Dong and I have known each other before. The inheritance Friend Dong obtained is related to the owner of the palace, and he knows the location of the palace's secret door..."
Feng Xuan and the others were still in shock as they listened to Li Changting's description, and they were quite stunned.
They just guessed that the senior who saved them was Shen Xiang, the junior sister from Wuming Peak.
Unexpectedly, Li Changting's call of "Uncle Li" stunned them.
It turns out that the senior's appearance to save them was not a coincidence. But Uncle Li had been following them secretly to protect their safety?
Feng Xuan suddenly looked at Li Changting who was still talking.
Did this guy know this a long time ago?
After a moment, Li Changting finished speaking.
Feng Yingxiu immediately drove them away, "All of you, go down. Remember what I said, don't reveal the identity of your uncle Li."
Everyone responded in unison, bowed again, and then left.
As soon as he stepped out of the hall, Li Changting felt his neck become heavy.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Feng Xuan, who was hooking his neck, looking at him unkindly. Behind him, Ge Jun and Xu Heng were rubbing their hands ready to fight.
Li Changting suddenly felt something was wrong: "You..."
Feng Xuan grinned: "You kid, you have always known it, are you laughing at us?"
Ge Jun also came over with a smile: "Junior Brother Li, you are so mean. When did you guess it?"
Li Changting's scalp went numb, and he immediately lowered his head, escaped Feng Xuan's shackles, and ran away.
"You still dare to run? You're so capable!"
"Oh, Senior Brother, if Uncle Master didn't mention it, how could I dare to say it?"
"Of course we know we can't tell you, but you're being too cocky! Beat him up!"
"Hey! Don't hit me in the face, my cultivation level is higher than yours now.
If you hit me again, don’t close your eyes when you meditate at night.”
"You can't even spank me!"
“…”
The noise outside could be heard clearly in the hall.
Feng Yingxiu shook her head helplessly and smiled, then turned her eyes to look at Xiang Sheng's profile: "Why don't you think about hiding your identity?"
"The matter of the centrifugal Gu has been resolved. There's no need to hide it anymore."
At this point, Xiang Sheng thought of something and chuckled softly, "Besides, I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore."
Feng Yingxiu heard something behind her words, but seeing that she didn't continue, she didn't ask any more questions.
After the two of them finished talking, Xiang Sheng walked out of the hall, ignoring Li Changting who was still being beaten, and first went to look at his disciple Xiang Jianjue.
Seeing that he was in meditation and practicing, with his aura overflowing, and his cultivation was approaching the late stage of out-of-body perfection, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he left quietly.
Afterwards, Xiang Sheng went to see Zhou Ying again.
With her third senior brother's request in advance, she naturally had already given Zhou Ying a special newly made jade slip through the hands of the master of the Water Sword Vein.
At that time, Zhou Ying was sitting cross-legged on the bed. There was no tension on his face before leaving, and his temperament was much more relaxed.
She was holding the newly made jade slip in her hand, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Xiang Sheng saw that her aura was strong and she was unharmed. Seven of the nine sword seals in the jade slip in his hand had disappeared. He was satisfied and left quietly without showing up.
A few days later, Lingzhou returned to the sect.
Although there were casualties among the disciples during this trip to the Hunyuan Secret Realm, the number of casualties was far less than before, so there was a lot of excitement and joy in the sect.
As soon as Xiang Sheng arrived at Wuming Peak, he was stopped by his third senior brother Yao Ziyi.
"Junior Sister, Senior Brother asked you to go to the tea pavilion to meet him."
