Li Yang's eyes widened under the mask, and he stared at Mu Qingxue in shock, his tone excited.

"The Great Elder definitely has no way of knowing this title. Who told you that?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingxue did not answer, but started talking about a past event.

"Seventeen years ago, when I was patrolling the snowfield, I happened to see a group of snow wolves eating humans, so I drove them away."

"The woman who was eaten was covered in blood and flesh and had long since died, but the baby under her body was completely unharmed."

"I buried her with my own hands and brought the baby back to the Immortal Tribe. I raised him and taught him how to practice, hoping that he could help me protect the Immortal Tribe."

After saying that, Mu Qingxue looked at Li Yang and smiled gently.

“Now, I am relieved.”

After the last sentence was spoken, Li Yang's eyes beneath the mask suddenly became moist and red.

To him, these few words are worth more than a thousand words!

As early as when Mu Qingxue mentioned the snow field, he instantly confirmed that the Mu Qingxue in front of him was the real goddess, not some deception!

But he didn't know that besides Mu Qingxue, there was another woman who loved him more than her own life, and she had already left him!

Mu Qingxue's return and the matter of her biological mother made his emotions particularly intense at the moment.

But as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly became panicked.

"Goddess, be careful of the Great Elder!"

Before Li Yang finished speaking, Mu Qingxue felt a strong sense of crisis coming from behind her.

The Great Elder had been keeping an eye on the two of them. When he saw Li Yang's emotions fluctuating violently, he felt something was wrong and decisively took action against Mu Qingxue.

The long sword hidden in the wooden stick was about to pierce Mu Qingxue's back, but another figure was faster than him.

"Oh!"

There was a sound of flesh colliding, and the Great Elder flew backwards, stabbing the ground with his sword to stabilize his body.

In front of Mu Qingxue, Ning Jie flicked his wrist and glanced at the Great Elder with cold eyes.

"brute."

It turned out that after hearing the conversation between the Great Elder and Li Yang, and learning about Li Yang's character from Mu Qingxue, Ning Jie began to have doubts in his heart.

So he just secretly asked Saint Yaoguang to use mind reading to spy on the Great Elder's heart, and it turned out that the person who really coveted the power of the Fountain of Immortality and wanted to take it for himself was him!

So when the Great Elder was preparing for a sneak attack, he also took action instantly and blocked the fatal blow for Mu Qingxue.

At this time, the Great Elder no longer pretended, and his eyes became ferocious and crazy.

"Haha, Mu Qingxue, you shouldn't have come back. Since you left without saying goodbye, why did you come back?!"

"When you were here, you didn't allow any of the tribesmen to absorb the power of the sacred spring alone. Now that you've finally left, your dog is still guarding the sacred spring!"

"Why? Shenquan is from the Immortal Clan. He is just a dog you picked up to guard the door. How dare you stop me!"

"Since you chose to come back, stay here forever with your dog!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual power around the Great Elder surged. His figure flashed, and the long sword emitting a sharp sword intent went straight to Ning Jie's throat.

But the moment he met Ning Jie's eyes, the aura of madness and murderous intent around him suddenly stagnated.

At this moment, he felt that he was not stabbing a person, but the entire world. In panic, the sword in his hand tilted instantly.

What realm is he in?

While the Great Elder was horrified, Ning Jie had already summoned the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron, lowered his waist and gathered strength.

"Oh!"

The powerful stick hit the Great Elder's stomach hard, knocking him away directly, and then another sweeping blow was given to him when he was about to land.

The Great Elder flew backwards again at a speed three times faster than when he came, hit a rock, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then he pointed the Dinghai Shenzhen into the air and added a shot of innate divine thunder, ensuring that the Great Elder had no chance of survival.

"You're useless! Even if you really absorb the power of the Fountain of Youth, it would be a waste."

Ning Jie calmly put away the Dinghai Shenzhen and was too lazy to even look at the Great Elder.

At this time, Li Yang had already removed the spiritual barrier, led his people to Mu Qingxue, and knelt on one knee.

"Li Yang, pay your respects to the goddess, and welcome her back!"

The guards behind Li Yang also knelt on one knee. Mu Qingxue reached out and rubbed Li Yang's head twice.

"Everyone, get up. I'm sorry for wronging you. You must be seriously injured, right?"

Li Yang shook his head. Most of the injuries on his body had healed and were not a big deal.

"How long after I left did this happen? Why did the Great Elder do this?"

Mu Qingxue and Ning Jie and his group asked Li Yang about the situation as they moved forward.

"Replying to the goddess, less than half a month after you left, the great elder suddenly came to the place where the sacred spring was located."

"At first he only said that he was here to inspect on behalf of the goddess, but in fact he wanted to monopolize the power of the sacred spring for himself."

"If I hadn't been prepared and avoided his vital points when he attacked me, I wouldn't have even had the chance to open my spiritual power barrier, and they would have succeeded."

"As for the reason, the Great Elder also said that he had stayed in the tribe for too long, and he wanted to lead the tribe out of the sacred mountain and explore the outside world."

"I guess the Great Elder used this as an inducement to successfully deceive some of the tribesmen into trying to steal the sacred spring."

After hearing Li Yang's words, Mu Qingxue also let out a sigh.

"It seems that there is no other mastermind behind this. What about the other tribesmen?"

“They have all been executed.”

Mu Qingxue nodded. No matter what, there would be a price to pay for doing wrong.

"Let's end this matter here. The reason why we can't leave the sacred mountain is because we rely on the power of the sacred spring for immortality, and the sacred spring cannot be moved. If the great elder absorbs the power of the sacred spring, the other members of the tribe will no longer have the possibility of immortality. This is absolutely not allowed.

As for the method to make the tribe members leave the tribe... I will definitely find it."

Li Yang nodded, then his eyes became a little strange, his hands clenched into fists awkwardly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing Li Yang's thoughts, Mu Qingxue smiled slightly.

"Go to the snowfield. She must miss you too."

Hearing this, Li Yang's body trembled violently, and two lines of tears flowed from behind his mask. He bowed deeply to Mu Qingxue, and then quickly rushed towards the snowfield.

"You made the right choice."

Looking at Li Yang's back, Ning Jie felt quite emotional.

"Yeah, we're here too."

Mu Qingxue did not comment, but raised her hand and pointed to the spring water in front of her that exuded an extremely pure breath of life.

Ning Jie turned his head and felt the extremely vigorous vitality within the sacred spring.

Just standing in front of the holy spring and breathing like this, I felt my body become extremely comfortable, as if I had instantly become several years younger.

After actually seeing the sacred spring, Ning Jie finally felt relieved.

With the blood of the Suzaku clan and the help of such a terrifying divine spring, Si Luo will definitely be able to return to him, right?

for sure!
