When Feng Shao returned to Taiwei Sect, everyone was stunned the moment they saw him.

Feng Shao's body was covered with wounds of varying sizes, many of which were emitting black gas, and it was obvious that he was injured by the demonic true qi, which could not be removed for a while. His originally white robe was covered with bloodstains, and it was unclear whether it was his own or the enemy's.

No one knew how Feng Shao escaped from the three enemies, but it was clear that Feng Shao had gone through a life-or-death struggle. Fortunately, Feng Shao finally came back alive.

The first thing Feng Shao did when he returned to the mountain was to count the number of people. After he confirmed that no one was left behind except Lu Qingyuan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

When Han Biyun asked about Lu Qingyuan, Feng Shao replied, "She's fine, but I'm afraid she won't be back for a few days."

After hearing this, Han Biyun finally felt relieved.

After learning that Feng Shao had returned to the mountain, Elder Song, the manager of the foundry, and Elder Zhu, the manager of the alchemy pavilion, immediately went to find Feng Shao. Feng Shao had promised them that he would bring back the spiritual fire before he left, so the question they were most concerned about now was whether Feng Shao had brought back the spiritual fire.

But after seeing Feng Shao, even Elder Zhu, who had the worst temper, could not help but remain silent. He looked at the wounds of all sizes on Feng Shao's body and could not help but say, "You kid, do you really think you are a heavenly soldier? When you encounter danger, you don't know how to run away, but insist on covering for others? Do you think that others only have one life, but you are special and have nine lives?"

Feng Shao smiled bitterly and said, "Old Zhu, please stop talking bad about me. I am the Saint Son of the sect and the eldest disciple of the Sect Master. If I don't go up to the danger, who will? We can't let these disciples who are not even at the Xiantian level go up to die, right? Besides, I am confident in my own strength. Even if I can't win, I can still run away."

Elder Song patted Feng Shao on the shoulder and said, "Feng Shao, you are not the only one in charge of the Taiwei Sect. Why do you have to take care of everything? Are your two uncles just for show?"

Feng Shao replied, "It's not that I don't trust the two uncles, but some things are better done by myself, so I can feel more confident."

"What about your background?" Elder Zhu said unhappily, "I heard that the Bifang Flame you obtained with so much difficulty was snatched away by others before it could even warm up. Do you think it would be so bad if your two uncles were here?"

Feng Shao looked ashamed: "It's my fault for being too careless. I didn't expect that the mantis would catch the cicada while the oriole was behind. But I already know the identity of the person who stole it. I will make him pay when he comes back!"

Speaking of this, Feng Shao couldn't help but reveal a murderous look in his eyes.

Elder Zhu asked in confusion, "You said 'wait until he comes back'? Could it be that the person who robbed the house was actually a disciple of Taiwei Sect?"

Feng Shao sneered and said, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. I never thought that after five years of joining the sect, he is not only useless to the sect, but also betrays us. Since he insists on doing such an unkind and unjust thing, I can only teach him a lesson!"

Elder Song was thoughtful after hearing this: "Since this person dared to snatch the Bifang Flame from you and succeeded, he must be very powerful. As far as I know, among all the disciples of Taiwei Sect, besides you, only two people have entered the Xiantian realm, and they are all from the three branches. Could it be that the person who betrayed us this time is actually a disciple of the three branches?"

Feng Shao did not speak directly, but instead said: "Two elders, although I was unable to bring back the Bifang Flame on this trip, I have unexpectedly obtained news of another spiritual fire. Please wait for a few days. I will definitely bring back the spiritual fire I promised you two elders."

Elder Song consoled him, "Xiao Feng, there's no need to rush. Although the spiritual fire is of great importance, it doesn't take a day or a night to resolve. You should rest for a few days first, and then talk about the spiritual fire when you've recovered."

Elder Zhu also nodded and said, "You almost lost your life on this trip. You should take a good rest first. I don't want to hear the news of your death before the spiritual fire arrives."

Although Elder Zhu's words were unpleasant to hear, his concern was evident. Feng Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry, elders. My life is very precious and I don't want it to be ruined."

After seeing off the two elders, Feng Shao sat cross-legged on the bed and began to ponder.

This trip was really dangerous. However, the biggest danger was not the fight with the Bifang Shadow on the Bifang Plain, but the fight with the three Jindan Realm Demon Cultivators. This time, he almost used all his means to successfully kill the three people. This time, it can be said that Feng Shao killed three Jindan Realm enemies at once for the first time in his life.

This gave Feng Shao a general understanding of his own strength.

Feng Shao's progress in the Qiankun Treasure Book was very slow, but it had great potential. He also had a chance to reshape his bones before reaching the Jindan realm, but he had to go to a special place to complete this step. After Feng Shao dealt with the three demon cultivators, he felt that his realm had loosened slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, he could enter the Jindan realm in three months at most. So he had to go to that place within three months.

However, that place is located in Zhongzhou, which is ten thousand miles away from Taiwei Mountain. So this trip is a long journey and I can't come back in a short time.

Before setting off, he had to resolve the issue of the spiritual fire first.

Since the Bifang Flame has been stolen by Ye Chen, it is basically impossible to get it back. Ye Chen is currently missing, but he is unlikely to come back in the short term. Although Feng Shao wants to expel Ye Chen from the sect, Ye Chen is a son of luck after all. And the fate of the son of luck is often unreasonable. What is a disaster for others may be a great opportunity for the son of luck.

Therefore, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, Feng Shao decided to act alone this time, and to get the spiritual fire before Ye Chen returned, and never give him a second chance to snatch it.

On the way back to the mountain, Feng Shao unexpectedly discovered that the luck condensed by the Tianhua Jade Slip had increased. Not only that, he also found that the Tianhua Jade Slip seemed to be showing signs of transformation. This surprised Feng Shao, but he couldn't help but feel happy.

Although he didn't know why he got the Tianhua Jade Slip, Feng Shao had obtained a lot of good things with the Tianhua Jade Slip over the years, and had already regarded the Tianhua Jade Slip as his biggest cheat. Although there was no system when he traveled here, the Tianhua Jade Slip was no worse than the system. It's just that the Tianhua Jade Slip often only had some ambiguous descriptions of the treasures, and more details often required him to look up ancient books himself. However, the transformation of the Tianhua Jade Slip this time allowed Feng Shao to obtain more detailed information.

For example, now, Feng Shao learned the location of the Six Yang Spiritual Fire from the Tianhua Jade Slip.

The Six Yang Spiritual Fire is even higher in rank than the Bi Fang Flame. If there is such a spiritual fire to protect the mountain, not to mention alchemy and casting, even the mountain protection formation can add another function. Thinking of this, Feng Shao couldn't help but flash a trace of excitement in his eyes, and his hatred for Ye Chen was temporarily put aside.

But the most important thing right now is to take care of your body first.

Feng Shao immediately began to sit in meditation and regulate his breathing. In addition to the extremely slow progress of the Qiankun Collection, it can almost be said to be an all-powerful set of exercises, and there is no flaw at all. At this time, after circulating the Yin and Yang Qi, Feng Shao's wounds were quickly healed, and even the true Qi in his Dantian was quickly filled. In just a few hours, Feng Shao almost recovered to his prime.

When he finished his meditation, it was already dark. He walked out of the room and found that it was already the hour of the Ox. Usually at this time, the other disciples would have gone to sleep. So at this time, the whole Taiwei Mountain was in silence, and only the sounds of insects and birds could be heard faintly.

Feng Shao summoned the Tianhua Jade Slip, and after determining the location of the Six Yang Spirit Fire, he flew up on his sword and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

At this time, everyone in Taiwei Sect was still asleep.

——————————

Lu Qingyuan didn’t know how long she had been wandering in the woods. She didn’t even know whether she wanted to go out.

Because of protecting Ye Chen, Feng Shao, who had always had high expectations for her, even planned to expel her from the sect, which made Lu Qingyuan feel very uncomfortable. And the moment she was teleported by Feng Shao, she also realized that Feng Shao had already paid too much for this sect and for them, the disciples. He was just their eldest brother, but he took care of almost all the affairs of the sect.

Even the skills they practiced were taught by Feng Shao himself.

Feng Shao has really done his best for them, so no one has the right to ask Feng Shao to do more.

Originally, Lu Qingyuan had some resentment towards Feng Shao, but now she only felt deep guilt. She felt guilty for failing Feng Shao's expectations of her, guilty for putting her junior brother above the interests of the sect, and even more guilty for not being able to distinguish right from wrong.

She even felt a little hatred in her heart. She hated Ye Chen for wanting to snatch the Bifang Flame that they had obtained with great difficulty, and she hated Ye Chen for putting her in such a dilemma.

She wandered in the forest for an unknown amount of time, until the night passed quietly and the sky gradually brightened, and then she finally made up her mind.

Regardless of whether Feng Shao forgave her or not, she had to return to the sect and admit her mistakes to Feng Shao. She was willing to accept any punishment.

So she took off on her sword and flew high into the sky. After seeing clearly that there was a city a hundred miles away, she immediately flew towards that place. She had to determine her location first before she could find a way to return to Taiwei Sect, and a large city was obviously the best place to determine her location.

What she didn't know was that Feng Shao had just arrived in this city not long ago.
