Shen Mengying was overjoyed to see Qin Feng and the others, and she welcomed them into Lingyan Pavilion.
The Foundation Establishment disciple guarding the gate watched their retreating figures, then breathed a sigh of relief and said to the other disciple with lingering fear:
"Luckily, I knew them. If these people had come to cause trouble, Lingyan Pavilion would probably be finished."
The other disciple nodded vigorously.
"Who says otherwise? I wonder what kind of mythical beast that big bird is. Its aura is terrifying. I'm really afraid that it might destroy our Lingyan Pavilion with a single breath."
"It seems Miss Shen is quite familiar with them. With them protecting us, our Lingyan Pavilion is going to be awesome."
"Hey, don't tell me, really don't tell me."
Qin Feng followed Shen Mengying into Lingyan Pavilion. He heard every word the two disciples guarding the mountain said and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Before they even sat down, they heard two hearty laughs.
"Haha, I was wondering why the magpies had been chirping all day. It turns out it's because you, young friend Qin, have arrived."
"Haha, everyone, long time no see."
These two were naturally the Grand Pavilion Master Xu Yusong and the Second Pavilion Master Shen Qianjun; their voices preceded their arrival.
Qin Feng and the others bowed respectfully.
"Senior Shen, Senior Xu, it's been a long time."
After exchanging pleasantries, they began to share their experiences.
Qin Feng guessed correctly; things were just as he expected. Shen Qianjun and Xu Yusong decided to take advantage of the turmoil in Yizhou and make a name for themselves.
Because of Qin Feng, the Heavenly Sword Sect had taken care of them, which made Lingyan Pavilion develop very smoothly.
Qin Feng also recounted some of his exploits in the Holy Domain, leaving the two elders and Shen Mengying speechless.
Shen Qianjun sighed with emotion.
"We originally thought it was already good that we were able to settle down here, but compared with Qin Xiaoyou's experience, it's nothing."
No wonder we heard a loud bang in the distance, accompanied by rolling thunder, but we couldn't figure out what happened.
Today I finally understand; it was you who were fighting against foreign enemies and breaking the blockade.
Qin Feng extended an invitation:
"I wonder if you would like to go to the Holy Domain to cultivate? If you would, we can take you with us next time we return to the Holy Domain."
The Heavenly Sword Sect also has a presence there, but it's relatively more dangerous.
Xu Yusong and Shen Qianjun exchanged a glance, their eyes shining with excitement.
"Of course, the Holy Realm is something we have always longed for, but our cultivation level is limited, and we don't have much confidence in crossing the Demon Beast Forest."
Now that my young friend is willing to help, I am naturally very happy to accept it.
As for danger, what cultivation path to immortality is without its risks?
Qin Feng nodded, "It was nothing, just a small favor. Okay, then get ready. We'll come find you when we return; it won't be long."
After Qin Feng made the agreement with the two elders, he led his men away from Lingyan Pavilion and headed towards Qingzhou.
Shen Mengying said she wanted to go along and take a look, and Shen Qianjun agreed. Qin Feng and the others also had no objections.
Qin Feng told Bing Luan to slow down and watch the path they were taking.
Not far from Feihong City, we came across a desolate and scorched land, devoid of any life.
The ruins stirred up their memories.
Yin Tiantian pointed there and said, "Junior Brother, do you remember? That's your masterpiece."
Little Stone, puzzled, asked curiously:
"Did Brother Feng create this? Such a large area of ruins looks like it was struck by lightning. Even if he were undergoing tribulation alone, he couldn't have made such a commotion."
Looking at the scorched earth, Xiao Fan felt a lingering fear as he recalled his experience.
He admired Qin Feng greatly and took the initiative to explain.
"We were ambushed here. There were many enemies, more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs and several Divine Transformation Venerables, while the young master was only at the Nascent Soul stage."
He faced these enemies alone, forcibly breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, which attracted a heavenly tribulation, dragging all his enemies along with him to undergo the tribulation.
He ultimately annihilated all his enemies, leaving behind only this scorched wasteland.
Little Stone felt his scalp tingle just listening to Xiao Fan talk about it; he could only imagine the risks they faced at the time.
Shen Mengying suddenly realized something and exclaimed:
"This place isn't far from Feihong City. Are the people chasing you from Guiyilou, Haotianfu, and Biyunxuan? Are you being targeted because you helped Lingyan Pavilion?"
Qin Feng smiled, his expression so calm and collected.
"Mengying, it's all in the past, don't think about it too much. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have reached the Nascent Soul stage so quickly."
Shen Mengying felt very guilty. "I'm sorry."
Ice Phoenix continued on its way.
They arrived at Feihong City, where people were still living, but it was nowhere near as lively as before.
As they entered the border of Yunzhou and passed through Yunxi City, they remembered how the city's director, Ren Tianya, had ambushed and killed them.
Along the way, every little detail of their journey from Qingzhou is now being recalled.
It felt like reliving the experience all over again, but with a completely different feeling.
Time flies, and before they knew it, almost ten years had passed since they left Qingzhou.
Their steps did not falter; they crossed Yunzhou and entered the territory of Qingzhou.
Upon entering Qingzhou, Qin Feng had a very complicated feeling.
He felt nervous, afraid, expectant, anxious, guilty, and some other inexplicable emotions.
My thoughts were churning. No matter what, he had returned after so many years.
They entered Qingzhou and arrived at Xilan City.
They discovered that Xilan City had undergone many changes, with numerous luxurious buildings and a much higher population density than before they left.
In particular, the number of cultivators has changed dramatically. Previously, Xilan City rarely had even Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone Golden Core cultivators. Now, there are even Nascent Soul cultivators.
These monks are gathered together now, as if they are holding some kind of event.
Looking at the sea of people, Yin Tiantian pointed in one direction and said excitedly, "It seems we've come back just in time."
Qin Feng looked around and his expression became incredibly excited. He saw his father and mother sitting in the front row, as well as his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
He didn't think too much about it and let Bingluan fly over directly.
The Ice Phoenix hovered above the group of cultivators, its massive form casting a large shadow on the ground.
This sudden turn of events caused immense tension and fear among those present, inevitably leading to a commotion.
In this remote place of Qingzhou, such a mythical beast has never been seen before.
Their enormous size and imposing presence broadened their horizons and filled them with awe.
"What level of divine beast is this giant bird? How could such a being appear in our Xilan City?"
"They suddenly appeared here, could they be here to cause trouble?"
"I can't be. The Qin family, Qingxuan Sect, Yanhuo Sect, Hanbing Sect, Li family, and others are all here. We shouldn't be so presumptuous."
"Hey, don't you guys think those people up there look familiar?"
Now that you mention it, I feel the same way.
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Qin Feng, holding Leng Yuexi's hand, leaped down and knelt before Qin Yi, Xia Yaqin, Leng Jiang, and Han Chunfeng, bowing in respect.
"The child is back."
"The child is back."
