Chapter 730 The Return of the Gods 14
A man in a crescent-shaped white robe stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back. The white clouds blocked the mountains. Looking down the mountain, nothing could be seen.
Xiao Jue looked at his cold back, and a firm idea arose in his heart.
He was looking at her.
He gave away the nest he had lived in for hundreds of years, and secretly hid in the mountains, trying not to let the girl find him.
Xiaojue secretly glanced at his back and couldn't help but ask.
“Master, since you care about Miss Shen, why don’t you let her know?”
As the number one master in the Sky Continent and the master of the temple, he really couldn't think of any talent who was worthy of his cautious treatment.
The man stood on the top of the cliff, his white robe fluttering in the mountain breeze. His eyelashes were not as black as those of ordinary people, and his pupils were the color of glass. His figure was shone with a faint light, and he was almost blending into the mountains and rivers.
"The time is not right."
We have waited for three thousand years, so what’s the harm in waiting a few more years?
At least this time, it was no longer a long road in the wilderness with no end in sight. She was back.
Xiao Jue seemed to understand but not quite. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not dare to ask any more questions. The sentence he just said had already overstepped the boundaries.
The man withdrew his gaze from halfway up the mountain:
"There's no cooked food on the mountain. Ask Wan Chaolin to bring her some food."
Xiaojue: “…Yes.”
You are already a fasting person, what else do you eat?
He didn't dare to say this out loud, so he sent a voice stone to Wan Chaolin.
…
Quan Jiu was surprised when he received a big box full of dishes.
"so much?"
Even if she becomes an immortal, she doesn't like fasting. Doesn't hot food smell good?
Wan Chaolin said with a loving expression, "The practice of celibacy is too hard. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it, so I asked someone to buy some food from the Kyoto Restaurant."
Thanks to her, this was his first time entering the back mountain, and the palace master's men asked him to deliver food personally and also did not allow him to tell the truth.
Quan Jiu just felt that Wan Chaolin was too kind and thought that he was trying to curry favor with her, the new saint who was under the care of the palace master since she took office.
"Thank you, Master. I can't finish it all by myself. Please sit down and eat with us."
Wan Chaolin naturally didn't dare: "No, I won't disturb your practice."
He went down the mountain quickly, coming and leaving quickly, really to deliver food.
For the next half month, Wan Chaolin would bring her food every day. If he was busy and couldn't get away, he would ask his disciples to bring it to her.
With the nourishment of the spiritual spring, Quan Jiu's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. His skin became as white as jade, rosy in color, and he gained two pounds of flesh around his waist. He looked much more spiritual.
If the "Heroes' Banquet" was not about to be held, she would not even want to move. She would live on the mountainside for a year and wait until she cultivated to the Mahayana stage before leaving.
"Luan'er, Qiuyun Villa is just ahead."
Wan Chaolin's voice brought Quan Jiu back to reality.
Quan Jiu stuck his head out of the carriage and saw the villa not far away. Qiuyun Villa was surrounded by mountains on three sides and faced the water on one side. If they wanted to enter the villa, they had to take a ferry.
The location was chosen here to prevent sneak attacks from the demon world and the monster world.
As soon as I got off the boat, servants dressed in slave clothes came to lead the boat.
"Elder Wan." The doorman saluted respectfully. "The wing rooms are ready. The leaders are all in the front hall."
After handing the luggage to the doorman, Wan Chaolin led Quan Jiu into the front hall and walked straight to the main seat and sat down. He pointed to the seat on the side.
"Luan'er, sit here."
Quan Jiu looked around. Apart from Wan Chaolin and her, there were seven people left, five men and two women, all of whom were older than her.
Being older means having more experience. As expected, after she sat in that seat, the middle-aged man opposite her frowned slightly, as if dissatisfied.
Wan Chaolin could not see this scene:
"Now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to business. I'm sure everyone has heard about what happened in the Black Wind Valley. In just one month, the seal of the Black Wind Valley has fluctuated three times.
On one occasion, the seal even loosened. If it weren’t for me and several other elders from the temple passing by and sensing the loosening of the seal, I’m afraid the monster would have come out by now…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the seven people present changed drastically. Even the man who was dissatisfied with Quan Jiu at the beginning put on a serious face.
"Elder Wan, why didn't you tell everyone about such a serious matter earlier?"
In the letter to them, Wan Chaolin only said that there was a change in the seal, but did not tell them that the monster was about to break out.
Wan Chaolin had expected this, so he raised his eyelids and glanced at him calmly:
"I'm telling you, can you find a way?"
The man's throat choked: "...At least I won't be as passive as I am now."
"What Sect Master Qingyun said makes sense. The sooner we know, the sooner we can prepare."
The woman sitting next to him, who looked to be in her early thirties, also spoke up.
The leader of Qingyun Sect looked extremely worried: "Elder Wan is looking for us now. Has he figured out a solution?"
Wan Chaolin shook his head amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd:
"I've discussed this with several elders of the temple. The monster is awake more and more often, and its attempts to breach the seal are becoming more and more frequent. I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, this Black Wind Valley won't be able to contain it anymore."
The leader of the Xuannv Sect was the woman who had just spoken for the Qingyun Sect Leader. Her expression was not looking good at the moment.
"From what Elder Wan said, this monster is bound to be revealed?"
Wan Chaolin: "That's right."
"Brother Wan, absolutely not!"
The owner of Qiuyun Villa is the oldest and has the final say.
"How much did our ancestors pay to seal this monster? For over three thousand years, Qiuyun Villa has not dared to relax for a moment, and generation after generation has passed down the work to suppress this monster. As the seventh generation guardian, Qiu Heyun, if the monster breaks the seal under my command and brings disaster to the people of the world and endangers the well-being of all people, I will never be able to apologize to my ancestors even if I die ten thousand times."
He would suppress this seal even if he died.
The leader of the Xuannv Sect pondered for a moment, then said calmly:
"I agree with Master Qiu's statement. I will sacrifice my life in battle."
Before Wan Chaolin could speak, another man in red spoke. He had an evil appearance and a suave face. He looked at the leader of the Xuannv Sect.
"Good sister, I think there is no need to go this far unless it is absolutely necessary."
Everyone present knew that the fifth-generation leader of the Xuannv Sect, Xuanyin's grandmother, had died in battle.
Including the eight forces including the temple, it has been passed down for seven generations over the past three thousand years. Seven generations of formation guardians all exist to protect the formation.
The evil man knocked on the table and looked at Wan Chaolin:
"Let's first listen to what Elder Wan has to say."
Wan Chaolin said solemnly, "The power of the seal is getting weaker with each generation. It will break sooner or later."
