Holding the sword and holding the sister away

After hearing a familiar voice behind her, Bai Yueli at the front of the deck seemed to regain her senses in an instant. She turned around slightly, and Fu Yan just walked over from behind.

Bai Yueli's expression didn't look unusual, as if she had completely let go, she looked at Fu Yan beside her, and immediately noticed the cultivation level of the other party's successful breakthrough.

"Is everything going well?" Bai Yueli said aloud with a slight smile on her calm face.

Fu Yan nodded: "There was a small mistake, but it is not harmful. It took nearly a year to finally break through."

This is still under the effect of a phoenix fruit. If there is no opportunity under the volcano last time, Fu Yan probably will have to practice for another two years before he can barely break through to the middle stage of virtual transformation.

When she heard about the accident, Bai Yueli subconsciously checked Fuyan's foundation and aura carefully, but fortunately there was indeed no problem.

Seeing this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief again.

Fu Yan saw through the other party's concern, but she didn't hide it. After seeing Bai Yueli's brows calmed down again, she smiled instead: "Don't worry, senior sister, I can regain my strength when the sea of ​​qi is crippled." Stand up and you'll be fine."

Without continuing this topic, Fu Yan on the deck finally looked up at the scenery ahead carefully, as if recalling the time in the Northern Territory.

"The Northern Territory is ahead." Bai Yueli also looked into the distance again, and said.

I haven't seen it for so many years, but the Northern Territory still seems to be the same, as if there is no change at all. When the spirit ship passed through the clouds, Fu Yan could even clearly feel that the spirit of the world around him weakened by nearly half in an instant.

The Northern Territory is still the barren Northern Territory, but the people are no longer the same as before.

"I didn't expect that we came back so soon." Fu Yan looked at the mountains and rivers below, and smiled softly. In fact, when she left the Northern Territory, she thought it would be impossible to come back in two or thirty years.

Thanks to Fuyan's discovery of the purpose of Xu Youyuyin, which greatly shortened the real time of her cultivation, otherwise it might really take 30 to [-] years for her to have the current cultivation base of the mid-stage of Void Transformation.

"Sister Fu, is this the place where you and Sister Bai used to live?" Ming Xi also walked out of the spirit boat at some point, looking curiously at the Northern Territory below.

"Chirp..."

Xiaoyaotuanzi, who followed closely behind, was extremely excited. Looking at the familiar mountains and rivers, he probably knew that this was the place where he lived before meeting Fu Yan.

"Yes." Fu Yan looked at the excited Xiaoyaotuanzi, couldn't help laughing out loud, and finally explained: "We won't stay in the Northern Territory for too long when we come back this time, and we still have to return to Zhongdu after the matter is over of."

After all, this is not a good place to practice.

The little black snake flew out and landed on Bai Yueli's shoulder quietly, with a lazy expression on her face, looking up at the excited Bai Tuanzi, she seemed a little speechless.

It's not wrong to say that Xiaoyaotuanzi is stupid, white and sweet. It seems that it can't see the other party's expression. It flew over with a "shua!", then grabbed the little black snake, and happily led it around in mid-air.

"Chirp..."

Little Black Snake: "..."

She retracted her gaze again, when Fu Yan was about to ask Bai Yueli if she should go straight down, the other party spoke first.

"Let's go to Cang Lei Valley first." Bai Yueli said while pointing in one direction.

After saying that, Fu Yan belatedly remembered that their return to the Northern Territory was not just to end the past, the spirit sword in their hands still needs to be tempered by the thunder of the sky before it can be officially used.

"Cang Lei Valley?" Fu Yan responded, as if she had never heard of this place.

Bai Yueli nodded, and explained: "It's a place where lightning and thunder are heard all the year round, but because there are no chances and dangers there, many immortal cultivators don't know that there is such a place in the Northern Territory that needs lightning to temper it. If you practice it, it is perfect."

"Okay." Fu Yan responded.

Now that they have all returned to the Northern Territory, it is almost the same whether they go to refine the sword first or return directly to the Shui Lingzong. Fu Yan didn't have too many entanglements, and soon began to control the spirit boat, pointing towards Bai Yueli. direction to fly.

Several hours later, the three of them arrived at Cang Lei Valley smoothly.

Just like what Bai Yueli said, this place can basically be said to be deserted.Not even the shadow of a monster can be seen.

"Boom!"

Before it really got close to the past, bursts of thunder came rolling in, which could be described as deafening. Looking from afar, one after another thunderbolts could be clearly seen in the sky.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for the spirit boat to continue to approach, so Fu Yan stopped at a nearby hill at will.

"Senior Sister, you and Mingxi wait for me here, I'll go there by myself." Fu Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Cang Lei Valley in the distance, then turned around and said to Bai Yueli and Mingxi.

Bai Yueli paused for a moment, it seemed that it was because he remembered the last time he was on the volcano of Ember Lake Island, and he let Fu Yan go down alone like this, and then faced the sudden volcanic eruption.

As if seeing what Bai Yueli was thinking clearly, Fu Yan smiled and comforted her: "This place is different from the volcano, at least this time my figure will not leave the sight of senior sister easily."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yueli finally didn't continue to say anything.

Fu Yan understood that the other party had already agreed, so she didn't delay, just moved her body, and quickly flew towards the top of Cang Lei Valley, where there were intricate sky thunder and lightning, as if a single blow could knock people into pieces at will. coke.

Just leaning over, a thunderbolt as thick as a big tree struck towards Fu Yan straightly, just looking at it with that aura made me feel scary.

Seeing this, Fu Yan had no choice but to concentrate quickly, the light of body-protecting true energy shone on her body.

Seeing that the thunder was about to strike, Fu Yan pulled out to dodge very quickly, and successfully dodged the thunder, but the terrifying power still affected her a little.

But Fu Yan didn't pay much attention to it, only to see that she moved again, while cautiously weaving through the thunder and lightning, she continued to plunder towards the depths.

After nearly half a stick of incense, Fu Yan finally went deep into the distance of 2000 meters, but looking at the dense thunder and lightning in front of him, he can already temper the spirit sword.

Without extra hesitation, the next moment she saw Fu Yan holding the hilt of the spirit sword with her backhand, and then the power of true essence erupted completely, and she just threw the spirit sword out of her hand like this.

"Crack... Rumble!"

As if feeling the invasion of a strange thing, there was a sudden thunder all around, and they slashed towards the spirit sword in midair, one after another, looking extremely terrifying.

Seeing that the spirit sword had successfully accepted the baptism of the sky thunder, in order not to be affected by the thunder force as much as possible, Fu Yan turned around quickly, and then swept straight towards the spirit boat.

Getting out was indeed much smoother than entering, and soon Fu Yan's figure landed on the spirit boat again.

"Sister Fu, are you alright!" Ming Xi who was at the side ran over and hurriedly asked.

Fu Yan smiled and shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Bai Yueli on the other side, who nodded slightly towards her.

It takes a long time to temper Tianlei. Although no one will come here, Fu Yan thought about it and arranged a very simple cover-up formation around.

This formation was not made by Fu Yan and Bai Yueli, but the resources that Fu Yan had obtained from other immortal cultivators before, but now they happened to be used.

Although the formation is simple, if you don't have a cultivation level above the Void Transformation Stage, it is generally difficult to see any changes here from the outside. In the Northern Territory, a place that can be counted with one hand in the Void Transformation Stage, there is not much difference. of worries.

If someone came over and wanted to forcibly take away the spirit sword, Fu Yan could also feel it.

After taking these basic precautions, the three people temporarily left the Cang Lei Valley again. Because the spirit ship was too ostentatious in the Northern Territory, Fu Yan also put away the spirit ship, and they continued to walk with the sword , Flying in the direction of Shui Lingzong.

In the evening, the three of them came to an ancient town only a few hundred miles away from Shui Lingzong. At this time, any restaurant was the busiest.

Fu Yan and Bai Yueli led Ming Xi into a brightly lit restaurant, they didn't seem to attract too much attention, they randomly found a corner on the second floor, and the three of them sat down one after another.

Taking advantage of the time when the food and wine were on the table, Fu Yan looked sideways at Ming Xi who was sitting on the other side, and said, "Ming Xi should be coming to the Northern Territory for the first time, right?"

"En." Ming Xi nodded in response.

Fu Yan's face couldn't help but tinged with a smile, and then explained: "Mingxi will wander around the Northern Territory these few days, Sister Bai and I are going to settle some past grievances."

Fu Yan didn't intend to take Mingxi to the Shui Lingzong, after all, this was a grievance between her, Bai Yueli and those people, and they needed to resolve it in person.

"Ah? Sister Fu, I can help too!" Although Ming Xi didn't know the previous grievances between Fu Yan and the two, she could sense that it was a bad grievance, and they might fight, so she said hastily.

"It's okay, there are some things we need to face by ourselves." Bai Yueli who was opposite also smiled and explained aloud.

After Ming Xi paused, she didn't continue talking.

In fact, Ming Xi has a three-headed snake in his hand, so basically he can walk sideways in this Northern Territory without any danger.

"Guest officers, your food and drinks have been served, please take your time." After a while, Xiaoer has already filled the whole table with dishes, all of which are simple spirit fruit juice and spirit meat. not bad.

In the middle of the meal, Fu Yan did not expect to meet a familiar figure in this small restaurant.

"Fu Fu...Fu Yan!"

As soon as the man went upstairs, he showed a hellish expression, his eyes were about to pop out, it seemed very unbelievable.

But in the next moment, his thoughts quickly returned to the cage, and he quickly covered his mouth almost reflexively, as if he was afraid of disturbing the immortal cultivators around him.

Bai Yueli glanced at the person who came, she obviously didn't know him, then turned to look at Fu Yan who was opposite, the latter looked at the figure in front of him, his bright eyes were also full of surprise.

In the next second, Fu Yan was also surprised: "Si Yizhi?"

The person who came was Si Yizhi, who had met Fu Yan a few times in the previous secret realm. In that spider cave, the two had a fatal friendship, and later they obtained the essence of the earth together. liquid.

Because Si Yizhi is good at disguise, in fact, Fu Yan didn't recognize the other party at first glance just now, but relied on his third-level mental power to see through the other party's true face at a glance.

Seeing that Fu Yan also recognized him, Si Yizhi finally came back to his senses. He first looked around to make sure that he didn't attract anyone's attention, and then hurriedly walked over.

Then, she sat down opposite Ming Xi very familiarly.

"Oh my God, it's really you." Xu Shi was too surprised, Si Yizhi's eyes have been on Fu Yan from the very beginning, "I thought I was wrong, but it's really a living Fu Yan , Alas, aren't you already dead?"

Fu Yan: "..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Elder sister Fu is alive and well, why did she die?" Ming Xi who was opposite heard Si Yizhi's words, couldn't help but wrinkled her whole face, and quickly refuted for Fu Yan.

"Slip of the tongue..." Si Yizhi also realized that his words were not pleasant, so he quickly smiled embarrassingly.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to have finally realized that there was another figure. He raised his eyes slightly, and met Bai Yueli's gaze. The next moment, Si Yizhi, who was on the stool, widened his eyes again in surprise.

"Bai...Bai Yueli, you...you're going to die too..." Before he finished speaking, Si Yizhi finally came back to his senses this time, and directly raised his hand to cover his mouth again, feeling a little embarrassed He smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm so surprised, don't be surprised, don't be surprised!"

Although Fu Yan wanted to pretend that she didn't know this guy, but in the face of Bai Yueli's suspicious gaze, she could only bite the bullet and introduce: "Si Yizhi, I had a few encounters in the secret realm before. Don't worry about him, he's out of his mind."

Si Yizhi: "..."

"I see." Ming Xi quietly made up the knife.

"Ahem!" Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was getting more and more awkward, Si Yizhi could only clear his throat and cough twice, and then explained: "Sorry, sorry, I just heard some rumors and misunderstood."

When the words fell, Fu Yan who was holding the chopsticks on the side paused, she raised her eyes and looked at Bai Yueli, then said nonchalantly, "Maybe in the eyes of all the immortal cultivators in the Northern Territory, we really have already been dead. Bar."

Fu Yan said it calmly, as if he didn't care.

What happened back then can indeed be said to have caused quite a stir in the entire Northern Territory. Fu Yan was abolished and Bai Yueli was seriously injured. They were dying, so they all misunderstood that they were dead, and there was nothing abnormal.

"You know me?" Bai Yueli raised her eyes, she and Si Yizhi probably had never met before.

"Hey, no one in the Northern Territory didn't know Bai Yueli at that time!" Si Yizhi smiled and said casually.

Seeing the two people living in peace, Si Yizhi was surprised, but also touched, and continued after a pause: "It's okay, it's all over, anyway, it's still alive now, and Fu Yan you……"

Si Yizhi has never been out of the Northern Territory for so many years, so it is only in line with his cultivation in the later stages of the Dao. Although he can't see the cultivation of Fu Yan and Bai Yueli, he can still feel something unusual breath.

As if she knew what he wanted to ask, Fu Yan responded happily: "Yes."

Hearing this, Si Yizhi couldn't help showing surprise on his face again. After all, he can practice again after being exhausted. It's really unthinkable.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Si Yizhi suddenly realized something in his mind, and said cautiously: "Then...you come back this time, it won't be...it's back..."

"Yes."

This time, it was Bai Yueli who calmly gave the answer.

For a while, Si Yizhi covered his mouth with his hand again, looking at Fuyan for a while, and Bai Yueli for a while, wondering if he had an illusion.

Ming Xi on the opposite side seemed a little confused, but she didn't dare to disturb the weird atmosphere.

After a long while, Si Yizhi finally came back to his senses again. He took a deep breath, stared at Fu Yan and Bai Yueli seriously and said, "You don't know, the suzerain of the Shuiling Sect last year, It has successfully broken through to the Void Transformation Stage, and now the Water Lingzong has two experts in the Void Transformation Stage."

"what?"

After listening to Si Yizhi's words, when Fu Yan and Bai Yueli hadn't reacted, Ming Xi who was opposite showed a look of surprise. Just when Si Yizhi thought the child was frightened, he heard Her voice came.

"Can you be the master of a sect with a meager cultivation base?" Ming Xi stared at a pair of innocent eyes and asked soulfully.

Si Yizhi frowned: "Just?"

Ming Xi nodded: "Even I am not afraid of my cultivation at the early stage of Huaxu, how could Sister Fu be afraid of Sister Bai?"

"..." This world is somewhat magical.

Si Yizhi felt that his ability to accept things was pretty good, and the next second he saw him showing a polite smile: "So...you are also at the Void Transformation Stage?"

This time, Ming Xi shook her head truthfully: "But I have monsters that can rival Hua Xu Qi's strength."

Si Yizhi: "..." Excuse me.

He knew that the little girl in front of him was not joking, because he finally saw that Ming Xi was actually a mid-stage Taoist cultivation, and the faces of the people on both sides were calm.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Fu Yan suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help raising her eyes to look at Bai Yueli in front of her: "Since Yu Qianfan has broken through to the early stage of Void Transformation, Hua Kuyi is probably already in the middle stage."

After saying those words, Bai Yueli gave a light pause to the hand holding the chopsticks, and then nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Fu Yan smiled faintly: "It won't be so boring anymore."

For some reason, looking at the two people in front of him, Si Yizhi inexplicably felt a chill behind his back. He belatedly realized that something big was going to happen to the Shui Lingzong recently.

……

After staying peacefully in the ancient town for a few days, Fu Yan and Bai Yueli were finally ready to go to Shui Lingzong, while Ming Xi handed it over to Si Yizhi to take him to continue playing in the Northern Territory.

Of course, it's not that Fu Yan trusts Si Yizhi so much, but that Ming Xi is not afraid of Si Yizhi at all, and basically has nothing to worry about.

But in the face of this good show of the Water Lingzong, how could Si Yizhi not go to see it, and Ming Xi was obviously curious, so after Fuyan Bai Yueli left, the two of them also turned their back feet towards the Water Lingzong rush in the direction.

When standing under the main peak of the Water Lingzong, the mountain was still green and verdant, towering straight into the clouds. Over the past few years, there has not been much change, but Fu Yan and Bai Yueli were both in a daze, as if It was like yesterday when they participated in the inner sect ranking contest.

"Sister, do you want me to go up with you?"

Fu Yan withdrew her gaze, and quietly looked sideways at Bai Yueli who was beside her, but the latter shook her head calmly.

She was not surprised, just smiled and nodded slightly.

Unlike Bai Yueli, Fu Yan has never had deep feelings for Shui Lingzong. If she wants to really let go, she has to face it by herself.

At this time, Fu Yan only needs to stand behind Bai Yueli, but she will definitely not let it go without letting Hua Kuyi abolish her cultivation.

Taking a last look at Fu Yan beside her, Bai Yueli finally regained her usual calm expression. She didn't choose to fly directly to Zhengfeng Hall, but walked up step by step.

It seemed to be announcing to everyone that she, Bai Yueli, was back.

But Fu Yan understood that it was Bai Yueli's final farewell to the Water Feather Sect in front of her. Today's grievances were gone, and the Water Feather Sect really had nothing to do with them.

On the lush road up the mountain, Bai Yueli's figure was calm and firm.

In fact, Fu Yan and Bai Yueli came back at the right time. During this time, it was not long before the big competitions of various sects in the Northern Region.

It is precisely because of this that the disciples of the Water Lingzong are basically concentrating on cultivating on the mountain, and naturally many disciples gathered on the mountainside of Zhengfeng at this moment.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on our Water Ling Sect alone!"

Before going up the mountain for a moment, the guard disciples at the foot of the mountain stopped Bai Yueli, holding his sword and staring at him coldly, as if if Bai Yueli dared to take another step forward, he would strike.

"Bai Yueli." Bai Yueli said word by word.

When hearing this name, the disciple guard seemed familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember when he had heard this name before.

It's just that before they had time to say anything, Bai Yueli waved her sleeves casually, and the two of them fell to the ground in an instant, unconscious.

The scenery on the mountain was still as it was in memory. When Bai Yueli arrived halfway up the mountain alone, many disciples obviously noticed something unusual.

"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen it?"

"What's so strange, you said that someday no one wants to come to pay homage to our Water Lingzong."

"..."

In the past few years, the disciples of the Water Lingzong have basically changed their blood, so although many people have heard of the name Bai Yueli, they don't know her appearance.

It seemed that because Bai Yueli looked a little weird, she attracted many people's attention along the way, but no one stepped forward to stop her.

When approaching the top of the mountain, an old disciple in the crowd finally discovered something, his face was full of disbelief, and his voice even trembled a little.

"Bai... Senior Sister Bai!"

"What is Senior Sister Bai? Is there a Senior Sister named Bai in our inner sect?"

"She's Bai Yueli!"

As soon as the words were finished, the name Bai Yueli stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone was staring at the figure going up the mountain.

"What? She is Bai Yueli who betrayed the sect a few years ago? Isn't she already dead?"

"No...impossible, why did Senior Sister Bai come back suddenly?"

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the news of Bai Yueli's return spread throughout the entire Water Ling Sect.
