"Is there another demon?" Lu Qing asked.
"Yes, not long ago, a demon cultivator tried to attack Jiuli Village. His strength was about the same as these three demons. After I injured him and he fled, he has not been seen since. I don't know where he went."
The old doctor nodded.
"The one Grandpa Chen injured was probably a demon called Eagle Demon," Xiaoyan said. "This demon was originally in the same group as the three demons this time. He's also a demon in the late Golden Core Realm. He's hiding in the dark now, and I'm afraid he'll be a hazard in the future.
Brother, these demons seem to be old monsters that survived the last era of immortal cultivation.
Their attack on the Holy Mountain this time was intended to seize the Holy Mountain's spirit, and their exact purpose is unknown."
"Eagle Demon, a demon in the Golden Core Realm, right?" Lu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me. As long as he is still in this world, he will not be able to escape."
Hearing Lu Qing say this, everyone was naturally relieved.
This time when Lu Qing returned from the starry sky, he was obviously much stronger than before.
At least now, no one present can tell what level he is in.
If he takes action, the devil will be found even if he hides at the ends of the earth.
Lu Qing continued, "Let me heal the Second and Third Saint Masters first. I've noticed that the Holy Mountain's earth veins and spiritual veins are heavily polluted. I'm afraid I'll need a few of you to dispel the demonic energy and filth and restore it."
The three Holy Lords have a special connection with the mountain soul of the Holy Mountain. They can penetrate deep into the earth veins and expel the evil blood stains that the evil blood soul banner has injected into the Holy Mountain. They are the best candidates.
"Thank you, my friend."
Previously, the second and third Holy Lords had transferred their own powers to the eldest brother to help him temporarily break through, causing their own origins to be severely damaged.
In the following time, after the second and third Holy Lords recovered from their injuries, the three Holy Lords began to sort out the polluted and damaged earth veins and spiritual veins of the Holy Mountain.
At the same time, the elders were also asked to comfort and heal the disciples of the Holy Mountain.
In the previous clash with the three demons, many disciples were seriously injured due to the recoil force of the formation.
As for Lu Qing, he cleaned out the evil spirits and blood from the three holy masters and burned them.
He also took this opportunity to rearrange and strengthen the formation of the Holy Mountain.
Finally, after the three holy masters cleaned up all the evil and blood that the three demons had driven into the holy mountain, Lu Qing had also completed the arrangement of the new formation.
Lu Qing’s attainments in formations are now much stronger than when he left his hometown.
In addition to the new Holy Mountain Formation, he incorporated some of the formation concepts of the Zhoutian Star Formation, so the power of the formation was enhanced by more than ten times.
The Holy Mountain Formation is now difficult to break through even if a powerful being at the initial stage of the Yuanshen realm comes.
This is because the spiritual energy of the Holy Mountain has not yet recovered to its peak. As the hometown world further recovers in the future, the power of the Holy Mountain Array will continue to increase.
"Well, with this great formation, the Holy Mountain can be said to be truly impregnable!"
After feeling the power of the new formation, the three saints all showed expressions of surprise.
"Senior Saint Lord, now that the formation has been repaired, even if another demon comes, there is nothing to fear. I haven't been back to the village for many years and I miss you very much. I will take my leave first."
After repairing the formation, Lu Qing began to bid farewell to the three holy masters.
"What you said is nonsense, young man. It is the three of us who should feel ashamed for wasting so much of your time." The First Saint Lord said hurriedly.
"It's just a small favor." Lu Qing smiled and then bowed. "Then I will go back first. If there is anything, you only need to let me know. There is no need to see me off."
After saying this, he turned into a stream of light and arrived at the top of the holy mountain.
There, the old doctor, Wei Shanhai, Xiaoyan, and Xiaoli were all waiting.
Even Han Lingshuang was in there.
"Palace Master Han, are you sure you want to come to our village? We've already made it clear that Jiuli Village is just a remote little village without any scenic spots. Don't be disappointed when you get there."
Lu Qing gave Han Lingshuang some psychological preparation in advance.
"How could that be? I have always been very curious about the village where Xiaoyan and Shangzun live. I wanted to see it and now I finally have the chance." Han Lingshuang said with a smile.
"Brother, I invited Sister Han to our village. Why, don't you welcome her?"
Xiaoyan suddenly took Han Lingshuang's hand and said mischievously.
His sudden closeness made Han Lingshuang feel flattered.
"Of course you are very welcome. Okay, let's get ready to go back."
Lu Qing summoned the Void Flying Boat and floated it in front of everyone.
Seeing the silver flying boat, the old doctor and Han Lingshuang both showed curious expressions.
They were the only two people here who had never ridden on this magical flying boat.
Although the old doctor knew that Lu Qing owned a void flying boat, he had never ridden it.
They may have felt the terrifying power displayed by the Void Flying Boat when it appeared before, so they were all looking forward to it.
After everyone got on the flying boat, Lu Qing began to urge the flying boat. Waves of spatial power surged, and the next moment a spatial vortex appeared. The void flying boat entered it and disappeared.
"This is……"
Although Lu Qing said there was no need to see them off, the three saints still came to the top of the mountain to see them off, and they happened to see this scene.
Immediately, they were shocked again.
"A treasure that can travel through the void. It seems that Mr. Lu Qing's experience in the starry sky is far more exciting than we imagined."
After a long while, the First Saint Lord sighed.
The other two saints nodded in agreement.
When Lu Qing rushed to the Holy Mountain before, because the situation was urgent, they actually did not notice how the Void Flying Boat appeared.
But this time, when they saw with their own eyes the void flying boat piercing through space and disappearing away, they truly realized the magic of this treasure boat.
However, they all thought that the Void Flying Boat was a treasure that Lu Qing obtained in the starry sky, and they did not know that it was obtained from the two aliens back then.
Above Jiuli Village, a space vortex quietly appeared, and the void flying boat emerged from it.
"Are we going back to the village now?"
Coming out of the flying boat, the old doctor looked at the familiar village below, his mind a little dazed.
Although he knew that the Void Flying Boat had the ability to travel through the void, he was still surprised after actually experiencing it.
Han Lingshuang was also shocked.
She knew that Jiuli Village was located on the edge of the Shiwanda Mountains in Cangzhou, and was very far away from the Holy Mountain, separated by many states.
Even for a powerful person in the Jindan realm, it would take a lot of time to control a flying magic weapon before he could cross.
It had only been a short time since they entered the silver flying boat, maybe a few breaths at most, and they had already arrived?
"A Qing, there is something I want to tell you first."
Just as everyone was about to go down, the old doctor suddenly said.
"Master, please speak."
Seeing the seriousness on the old doctor's face, Lu Qing's expression also became serious.
"You've been away from this world for quite some time. Many people in the village have died over the years. You should be mentally prepared for this."
Lu Qing's body trembled slightly.
Xiaoyan looked at her brother without saying anything.
Wei Shanhai also looked at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing has been gone for sixty or seventy years. Over the years, many people have died in Jiuli Village.
It can be said that there are not many villagers left in the village that Lu Qing is most familiar with.
After a while, Lu Qing took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Disciple understands, Master, let's go down."
Everyone went down to Jiuli Village and landed in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Sensing Lu Qing and the others' return, the puppet clone walked out of the house, nodded to everyone, then turned into a stream of light, soared into the sky, and flew towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Shangzun, what is this?"
Han Lingshuang was surprised to see that the puppet clone had the same face as Lu Qing.
"That was a puppet clone I made back then. Don't worry about it." Lu Qing explained briefly.
Then he said to the old doctor, "Master, Xiaoyan and I will go home first and come back to serve you tomorrow."
"Go ahead." The old doctor nodded.
Immediately, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan, Xiaoli and Han Lingshuang and flew to their home at the foot of the mountain.
All of a sudden, only the old doctor and Wei Shanhai were left in the courtyard halfway up the mountain.
"Doctor Chen, I have to go back to the villa too. Xiao Li suddenly came back and took me away. Zi'an and the others don't know what happened. I'm afraid they are still worried." Wei Shanhai said.
"Mr. Wei, please go back and report that you are safe first, so that Zi'an and the others won't worry too much." The old doctor nodded.
After Wei Shanhai bowed, he used his skills to go down the mountain.
As soon as he returned to the villa, Wei Xinghe, Wei Zian and others rushed out of the house to greet him.
"Ancestor, what happened before? Why did your presence suddenly disappear in the village?"
Wei Zian asked hurriedly.
At this moment, Wei Zian's aura was calm and heavy, and he had long since shed his youthfulness and looked a bit like a middle-aged man.
As for his cultivation, he has firmly stood at the realm of perfect foundation building and is only one step away from the golden elixir realm.
"Xiao Li came back earlier and saw that Xiao Yan and Doctor Chen were not at home. He happened to see me and took me out of the village." Wei Shanhai replied.
"Grandfather, what did you say? Xiaoli is back?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zian was stunned at first, then his eyes suddenly widened.
Wei Xinghe and Mrs. Wei, whose hair had turned gray, were also shocked.
Mrs. Wei, in particular, could not help but ask, "Grandfather, you said Xiao Li is back, doesn't that mean..."
"Yes, just as you thought, Lord Lu Qing is back too." Wei Shanhai nodded.
After hearing Wei Shanhai's confirmation, everyone stood there in a daze.
Although no one knew about Lu Qing's departure that year except the old doctor and Xiaoyan.
However, Lu Qing has not appeared again over the years. In addition, when the evil cultivators were rampant later, Lu Qing also did not take action to eradicate the evil.
Gradually, Wei Shanhai and the others learned that Lu Qing had already left this world and entered the starry sky to explore.
They originally thought that Lu Qing would come back in a few decades at most.
But I didn't expect that after sixty or seventy years, there is still no news of him.
Everyone even thought more than once whether Lu Qing had encountered some accident in the starry sky.
Otherwise, why has there been no news for so many years?
But considering Xiaoyan's mood, no one dared to discuss this topic.
Now I suddenly heard that Lu Qing, Xiao Li and others had actually returned from the starry sky.
How could Wei Zian, Madam Wei and others not be extremely surprised by this?
On the contrary, the beautiful middle-aged woman next to Wei Zian had a confused look on her face.
As Wei Zian's wife, she had heard her husband mention that legendary figure.
But in my heart, I don’t feel much reality after all.
So among all the people present, she was the one who was least able to feel the surprise and shock.
After a while, Wei Zian finally came to his senses and was about to rush out.
But just as he moved, Wei Shanhai stopped him and shouted, "Zi'an, where are you going?"
"I want to go see Brother Lu Qing. I haven't seen him in so many years. I miss him so much!"
"That's not polite! Lord Lu Qing just returned home, and I'm afraid he still has some things to do. It's not appropriate for you to go over and disturb them now. Wait until tomorrow to prepare the etiquette, and then go visit him. That way you won't be rude, understand?"
"Yes, ancestor."
After being scolded like this, although Wei Zian was anxious to see Lu Qing, he did not dare to disobey his ancestor and could only respond sullenly.
But soon, he remembered something and his eyes lit up again.
"Oh, Brother Lu Qing is back. I'm going to tell Master and Sister Hu about this. If they knew about this, they would definitely be overjoyed!"
After saying that, he rushed out to the yard again.
This time Wei Shanhai did not stop him.
Because he knew that Ma Gu, Hu Zezhi and Lu Qing had a pretty close relationship.
Lu Qing is back, and we should inform them.
But when he thought of Hu Zezhi, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and he sighed in his heart again.
As for the beautiful middle-aged woman, she looked at her usually calm husband, who suddenly became jumpy, with her mouth slightly open, very surprised.
She looked at her father-in-law and mother-in-law who were still in a state of excitement.
I also became more curious about the Lord Lu Qing that everyone was talking about.
What kind of extraordinary person could make so many people in the family so excited just by hearing the news of his return?
"Finally home again."
At the Lu family's house, Lu Qing stood at the door, looking at the plants and trees in the yard, sighing.
Although he had been away for many years, there had not been much change in the things at home.
That is, some of the trees in the yard have become much taller, and there are not even any extra weeds.
In addition, he just saw that everything in the house was spotless, clean and tidy.
He didn't understand that it must be the people from the village who came to clean it regularly, so that it could remain like this.
After all, he knew that in recent years, Xiaoyan had very little time to come back because she had to stay in the Holy Mountain.
In the room, Xiao Li was pointing at the things inside and telling Bai Jiao and Han Lingshuang about the days when he lived here.
Lu Qing smiled and was about to take a walk in the village.
Instead, he saw an elderly man with a hunched figure, holding a wooden basin and a towel draped over his shoulders, walking in slowly and tremblingly. (End of this chapter)
