Chapter 184 Returning Home in Glory

"Someone is coming, hush!"

Zhou Ye carefully lay at the entrance of the cave and looked out. Through the thin layer of clouds formed by the Floating Cloud Flag, he could only see a figure outside, but could not see the other person's appearance clearly.

Zhou Yuling in the corner comforted Wan Yingying softly, "Yingying, don't be afraid, it's okay."

Wan Yingying's face was pale, but her bright eyes were determined. She pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Zhou Yuling hugged Wan Yingying with some heartache. This little girl was smart, well-behaved, brave and strong, but her life was too hard.

When the demons invaded and even killed their father, this child was able to remain calm and secretly come to her for help. It was not easy.

Zhou Ye at the entrance of the cave suddenly said nervously: "Oh no, that person is coming straight towards us. Get ready to attack!"

Zhou Ye held a second-level lightning talisman and a golden talisman in his hands, his old face full of tension.

Although he was at the ninth level of Qi training, he seldom fought with others and had little combat experience.

Faced with the brutal demon cultivator, he felt a little panicked before he even started to take action.

Zhou Yuling let go of Wan Yingying. She activated the protective shield on the Kanshui robe, held the Kanshui sword in one hand and the Shuiyue sword in the other, and walked lightly to the other side of the cave entrance.

The cave was small, with no room to hide or escape. If we were to be discovered, we would have no choice but to fight to the death.

She had witnessed the cruelty of the evil cultivators and would rather die than fall into their hands.

Compared to Zhou Ye's nervousness, Zhou Yuling was much calmer. She had no combat experience, but she was naturally smart and decisive.

The more critical the situation, the calmer she becomes.

The thin cloud on the floating cloud flag was like a veil. Zhou Yuling could not see the facial features of the person who came. She could only vaguely see that the other person was wearing flowing green clothes and had a slender and upright figure, which made her feel extremely familiar.

Her heart suddenly moved: "This is Gao Xian!"

Zhou Yuling couldn't believe it. How could Gao Xian appear here? Could it be an illusion created by the devil?

Before Zhou Yuling could figure it out, Gao Xian outside said loudly, "Uncle Zhou, Yuling, it's okay, you can come out."

Through the Floating Cloud Flag, Gao Xian could also see the magical aura of Zhou Yuling and Zhou Ye with the Flower-Seeing Mirror.

The two were ready to fight, and Gao Xian didn't want to provoke them. If they failed to cast the spell, he would be fine, but the safety of the two would be in jeopardy.

Zhou Ye and Zhou Yuling were both half-believing and half-doubting. Gao Xian's arrival was too coincidental. The demon cultivator was also proficient in illusion, so they were not sure that it was Gao Xian outside.

Gao Xian knew that the two of them were worried, so he smiled and said, "Yuling, don't hold the Shuiyue Sword so tightly. I am really Gao Xian."

This sentence convinced Zhou Yuling that only her father knew that Gao Xian gave her the Water Moon Sword.

She was full of surprise: "It's really Brother Xian!"

Zhou Yuling didn't discuss it with Zhou Ye and just rushed out of the cave.

Gao Xian looked at Zhou Yuling with a smile. He hadn't seen her for a few months. Although Zhou Yuling looked exhausted, the breathing power of the eight spiritual orifices in her body was very stable. It was obvious that she had reached the ninth level of Qi training.

There was a hint of sharp sword energy in her sleeves, and it was obvious that she had practiced the Water Moon Sword very well.

After going through so many things, Zhou Yuling's expression became less erratic and more resolute, and she has obviously matured a lot.

"Brother Xian!"

Zhou Yuling was also looking at Gao Xian carefully. She felt that Gao Xian had changed a lot. His face became more handsome, his figure more upright, and his previous slickness was gone. The long sleeves of his blue robe fluttered in the wind, and he looked like a god.

Such Gao Xian also made Zhou Yuling feel a little strange. She wanted to hug Gao Xian, but couldn't help but hesitate.

"What are you staring at? Are you mesmerized by my unparalleled handsomeness?"

Gao Xian joked casually, he took the initiative to step forward and gently hugged Zhou Yuling, "It's been a long time since we last met, did you miss me?"

Zhou Yuling couldn't help but reach out and touch Gao Xian's cheek. The familiar informal tone made her confirm that the person in front of her was Gao Xian, absolutely true!

Her bright eyes were filled with surprise: "Brother Xian, Brother Xian, you are finally here..."

Zhou Yuling suddenly became excited and hugged Gao Xian tightly. She had been worried these past few days and thought she would never have the chance to see Gao Xian again.

It was a long-awaited reunion, and I felt a sense of relief as if I had escaped death. I was suddenly excited.

Gao Xian understood Zhou Yuling's feelings, but when he saw Zhou Ye coming out, he felt embarrassed to see what the old man was doing.

He gently touched Zhou Yuling's head and muttered, "It would be fine if you didn't grow taller, but why did you get smaller..."

It’s not that Zhou Yuling has become shorter, but that his body has evolved after he established his foundation, and he has grown a little taller.

Zhou Ye didn't care about his daughter and Gao Xian being intimate. He asked nervously, "Gao Xian, what's going on outside?"

They hid in the cave and could only faintly hear a huge roar outside, but they didn't know what was happening.

"It's alright, the sect master has arrived and all the evil cultivators have been dealt with."

Gao Xian knew that the old man was a little scared, so he briefly explained the situation.

Zhou Ye finally let out a long sigh, "That's good, that's good!"

"Brother Gao Xian!"

Wan Yingying, who ran out of the cave, also ran over excitedly. She hugged Gao Xian's thighs and started crying.

Gao Xian was a little surprised. Why was Wan Yingying here?

The little girl is almost ten years old, and she is getting more and more beautiful and lovely. Now she is crying so hard, and looks very pitiful.

Gao Xian looked at Zhou Yuling, and Zhou Yuling understood and whispered in Gao Xian's ear: "Wan Zhen deliberately showed up to lure away the demon cultivators, and Yingying ran to the cave by herself. Wan Zhen should be dead."

Gao Xian was actually not surprised to hear the news.

The demon cultivators invaded Pegasus and killed people indiscriminately, causing huge casualties. In this situation, it was normal for anyone to die.

You have to know that the other side has more than 20 Blood-Clothed Foundation Establishment warriors. It would be easy for this force to destroy Pegasus Group.

In order to set a trap for Yun Taihao, they left some people behind.

In this case, it doesn't matter who dies.

It turned out that Yun Taihao was more skilled and brought in helpers to annihilate the opponent's Jindan Zhenren in one fell swoop, forcing Mu Zhengfeng to flee in embarrassment.

Gao Xian hated Yun Taihao very much, but he had to admit that this man was capable.

If Yun Taihao hadn't been so powerful, everyone in Pegasus would have died. In this respect, Yun Taihao had done a good thing.

Gao Xian felt a little sorry for the little girl. Even at this age, it was not appropriate to be too intimate with her.

He comforted Wan Yingying softly, then signaled Zhou Yuling to pick up Wan Yingying.

Wan Yingying hugged his thighs tightly and cried, refusing to let go.

The little girl had been saved by Gao Xian once before and she trusted him very much.

She had been living in fear these past few days, and now that she knew her father was dead, she only wanted to follow Gao Xian.

Gao Xian saw what the little girl was thinking, and he said, "Just follow me from now on, it'll be okay."

With these words, Wan Yingying felt much more at ease.

Zhou Yuling comforted him softly again, and then reluctantly let go of Gao Xian's thigh.

Gao Xian said to Zhou Ye, "We can no longer keep Pegasus Collection. It's a good opportunity for you to come back with me this time."

He was afraid that the old man would be worried, so he added: "I have completed the foundation building, so I can protect you anyway."

Zhou Ye's eyes widened, "You, have established your foundation?!"

He was both surprised and happy. If Gao Xian was a foundation-building cultivator and was able to form his own force in the sect, the situation would be completely different.

Gao Xian nodded: "Uncle Zhou, I'm not kidding."

Now not only Zhou Ye was excited, but Zhou Yuling and Wan Yingying were also excited.

Even though Wan Yingying was only ten years old, she knew how important foundation building was for a cultivator.

Gao Xian has completed the foundation building and has entered a higher level, completely changing his destiny.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Facing the surprised and admiring gazes of the three people, Gao Xian felt very good.

The compliments from many foundation-building monks were mostly out of politeness. After all, they were all foundation-building monks, so who was worse than who? Who could really convince him! Zhou Ye and the others were different. Their surprise and admiration were all from the heart. And since everyone was so familiar with each other, this feeling was even better.

Gao Xian was proud in his heart, but his face was calm, showing the demeanor of a great foundation-building monk.

After Zhou Ye and the others regained their composure, Gao Xian took the three of them back to Pegasus.

After being burned, killed, and looted, Pegasus had been reduced to ruins. Broken limbs could be seen in many places, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Demonic cultivators are different from ordinary cultivators. Their spells are very vicious. They either draw strong negative emotions from them, or extract broken souls, or use flesh and blood to sacrifice secret techniques.

If an ordinary cultivator encounters a demon cultivator, they will suffer a miserable fate.

Gao Xian has been in Feimaji for three or four years and still has quite a lot of affection for this small place.

Seeing Pegasus become such a miserable state, he felt sad.

There were at least one or two thousand cultivators gathered in front of Li Shuanglin's mansion.

Most of these people were covered in blood and dust, their faces were filled with panic, and they all looked extremely miserable.

Li Shuanglin and Lu Lingfei stood at the front, surrounded by a dozen black-clad cultivators from the law enforcement team.

Zhu Qinnan was standing on one side, talking to two foundation-building monks.

Gao Xian turned his eyes and saw the plump Huang Ying in the crowd. This lady was still wearing a bright red robe, but her hair was disheveled and there was some dust on her face, making her look a little embarrassed.

Even so, Huang Ying, dressed in a bright red robe, stood out in the crowd.

Gao Xian was delighted. It was great news that his old friend was safe and sound.

Many cultivators gathered together. Gao Xian led his men inside and could only use the Great Five Elements Sword Energy to separate the crowd.

He unleashed the soft and tough Five Elements Sword Energy, which naturally opened a passage through the crowd.

Some cultivators were in a more irritable mood. When they felt someone pushing them from behind, they immediately drew their swords and glared at the person.

He soon discovered that Gao Xian was not pushing people with his hands, but using his magic power to condense into Gangqi.

These people immediately realized that Gao Xian was a great monk who had established his foundation. Their anger dissipated instantly, and they all lowered their heads and showed their respect as much as possible.

Zhou Yuling, who was following behind Gao Xian, had a look of pride on her delicate face. The man in front of her was a great cultivator who had built a foundation! Even Wan Yingying couldn't help but raise her chin, looking proud.

Although Zhou Ye was reserved, he stood straight. Gao Xian was his eldest nephew, or even his son-in-law, or half a son!

Li Shuanglin and Lu Lingfei both saw Gao Xian and his group, and both of them looked at Gao Xian, who was leading the group.

Those who practice Qigong can all recognize Gao Xian's release of Qi, so the two of them can naturally see it more clearly.

Li Shuanglin's face changed involuntarily. He knew Gao Xian, Zhu Qinnan's lover and alchemist.

Not only did this kid build his foundation successfully, but he also stimulated the Qi energy smoothly and freely, showing strong control.

Li Shuanglin was a little bit unbelievable. It had only been a few years, and Gao Xian had completed the foundation building. His cultivation was even more refined than his! How could this be possible?! Lu Lingfei's expression was also a little complicated. He and Zhu Qiniang had no contradiction. Between Xu Lingyun and the other old guys and Zhu Qiniang, he was slightly inclined to Zhu Qiniang.

It's just that Gao Xian succeeded in building his foundation, and he and Zhu Qinnan had such a close relationship, and Xu Lingyun, Zhang Chunjiang, and Pang Su were all dead. This combination of a man and a woman was enough to change the power structure in the sect.

This is not a good thing for him.

No matter what the two foundation-building monks thought, when Gao Xian approached them, they adjusted their moods and gave Gao Xian a friendly smile.

Lu Lingfei was the first to bow and salute: "Congratulations to you on your successful foundation building. You have built your foundation on your own at such a young age. You are truly a rare talent."

He knew that Gao Xian came from a casual cultivator background, and it was not easy for him to establish a foundation at the age of thirty.

Gao Xian returned the greeting with a bow: "It's a fluke. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

Li Shuanglin also forced a smile and bowed his hands in greeting, "Fellow Daoist Gao, I haven't seen you for two years and you have already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Congratulations..."

Gao Xian also returned the greeting politely. He didn't like Li Shuanglin, but there was no need to be rude at this moment.

Everyone around heard it clearly. Many people here knew Gao Xian and had a deep impression of this pretty boy who had clung to Zhu Qinnan's side.

Seeing Li Shuanglin and Lu Lingfei being so polite to Gao Xian, everyone was shocked. This kid could also build a foundation! Many people looked at Zhu Qiniang. If they had known this, they would have risked their lives to cling to Zhu Qiniang's thigh...

Huang Ying was very close to Li Shuanglin and the others and could clearly hear the conversation between them.

She couldn't help but open her mouth and stared at Gao Xian in a daze.

She was very, very familiar with this handsome man, and precisely because of this familiarity, she was even more shocked.

Gao Xian was particularly concerned about money and was obsessed with alchemy, so how could he have time to practice? Gao Xian was also greedy for women, and on the one hand he was hanging out with Zhu Qiniang, on the other hand he was having an affair with Zhou Yuling. He was also reluctant to accept her.

Such a man could also build a foundation? She thought about it and realized that Gao Xian had once displayed powerful magic, proving that his cultivation was indeed high and that he was indeed gifted.

Gao Xian's lust and greed for money are all disguises! This man is so scheming...

Huang Ying couldn't help feeling a little dazed when she thought of these past events. She used to think that although Gao Xian was smart, his character was somewhat naive and weak, making him easier to control.

Now it seems that Gao Xian was just playing around with her, just acting according to circumstances. But she never really grasped Gao Xian! Otherwise, she could have gotten close to Gao Xian today and borrowed the reputation of this great foundation-building monk openly.

Huang Ying sighed inwardly, it turned out that she was the naive one...

"Sister Ying, I'm so glad you're okay."

Gao Xian took the initiative to come over and talk to Huang Ying. Seeing that Huang Ying looked worried, he said, "Sister Ying, if you need any help, just tell me."

Huang Ying suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced a smile, "No, no, I'm just very happy for you after seeing you succeed in building your foundation..."
