The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 60 Disaster Retreat
After returning to the courtyard, Li Yuan first refined the two spiritual weapons, and used his magical powers to connect the spirits in the weapons, so that the original spirit was imprinted in the spiritual forbidden space.

Then practice the Shuiyunjian secret technique, and evolve it into the true secret technique under the stimulation of supernatural powers.

He only practiced the basic skills a little bit, and more than half a year had passed in the mountains.

On this day, the Chuanqi Ling lit up, and it was Master Chen Guanfeng sending him a message.

Qi Ling is the main token that controls the entire mountain gate formation, and can communicate with other tokens within a thousand miles and respond to each other. He has always been a symbol of the identity of the sect's ancestor.

"Disciple Chen Guan pays homage to the three Xuanfeng elders Ge Hun, Yao Anlian, and Xu Heqiao who have absconded and abandoned the sect.

Please give me some instructions, ancestor!"

After hearing the message, Li Yuan's eyes turned pink and the sky was covered with dark clouds. However, within a few breaths, light rain and slanting wind started to blow.

He stretched out his hand to catch a drop of rain, sensed it for a moment, and then his figure disappeared.

Hundreds of miles away from Qi Ling Mountain, two figures were riding flying magic tools through the receding sea water. One of them was a middle-aged man with a mature face, and the other was a young Taoist priest. The former wore a dark blue gown, and the latter wore a light white corset.

Yao Anlian said with some uneasiness: "Brother Ge, I heard that the True Cultivators have great magical powers. We were discovered before we escaped. Will we be caught up by the True Cultivators?"

"That's impossible. I think that cultivator has only just achieved magical powers. He doesn't look like a powerful cultivator." The man in blue analyzed calmly, "Besides, we didn't leave any blood or essence behind. Even if he comes after us without any aura to guide us, we've already traveled nearly a thousand miles. He definitely won't be able to catch up."

After hearing this, Yao Anlian felt a little relieved and sighed, "I don't know where Brother Xu escaped to. He insisted on separating from us. Now the sea is rising and the land is sinking. We might encounter some sea monsters, which would be troublesome."

"Hmph, Xu Haiqiao has an extremely fast flying magic weapon. He's afraid that traveling with the two of us will slow down his speed, so he doesn't want to go with us." Ge Hun said dissatisfiedly.

"I thought so. It turns out you dislike both of us." Yao Anlian smiled bitterly.

"Whoosh~"

A green light suddenly flew from afar and stopped in front of the two of them.

Both of them were startled, but they were relieved after seeing who it was.

Yao Anlian said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xu, it would be fine if you didn't go with us, but why did you suddenly catch up with us?"

In the green light was a jade green fan. On the fan stood a tall man in his thirties with narrow eyes. He looked at the two of them with a smile and said:

"You two, the Qi Ling Sect has treated us well. It would be too unfair for us to just leave like that. Why don't we return to the mountain and apologize openly? Maybe we can make the sect truly regard us as disciples."

"What? Brother Xu, are you crazy? Even if the Qi Ling Sect has been kind to us, it is still better than the other sects. How can you go back on your word so easily?" Yao Anlian shouted angrily, "What's more, we have already defected. If we turn back, we will probably be killed as an example to others!

We almost destroyed their inheritance at that time, what are you still dreaming about?"

Ge Hun, who was standing by, saw the two people arguing over a disagreement. One of them was talking about the good things about Qi Ling Sect, while the other was getting angrier and angrier, unable to stop. He couldn't help but want to interrupt them. The most urgent thing should be to leave first!
At this moment, a talisman hanging on Ge Hun's neck suddenly ignited without wind and turned into a ray of clarity that entered his mind.

Ge Hun's heart shuddered, and he looked at the two of them again. As an experienced person with many years of experience, he finally realized that the two of them had been bewitched without him knowing when!
"Wow~"

The surroundings were covered with dark clouds and a light rain began to fall. The rain was warm, but it felt like a bone-chilling cold when it fell on Ge Hun. He could not stop the fear in his eyes and bowed down, saying, "Grandfather, please spare me! Grandfather, please spare me!"

In the rain and fog, a light blue figure walked out, strolled in the rain, and asked with a chuckle: "Isn't Qi Lingmen treating you well?"

Ge Hun's voice was already trembling, Yao Anlian and Xu Haiqiao were still arguing, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with them.

He couldn't stop his upper teeth from knocking against his lower teeth, and he had to use all his strength to make a normal sound. "Qiling Sect treats its disciples very well."

The figure in the rain and fog came closer, and his face could be seen. He was a handsome man with a slender figure, a long blue shirt, and a jade belt around his waist. There was a hint of pink in his eyes.

"Then why are you leaving?"

"Disciple...disciple has done something wrong. I feel guilty and have no face to stay in the sect any longer." Ge Hun did not dare to remain silent and could only tell the truth.

"Qi Ling Sect will never treat its loyal disciples unfairly. Do you understand?" Li Yuan glanced at him sideways, the rain and fog disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, as if nothing had ever happened.

Ge Hun felt a chill in his heart, and knocked his head against the magic weapon. He replied with a trembling voice: "Disciple will remember! Disciple will remember!"

After a long time, the wind and rain disappeared. Xu Haiqiao seemed to have just seen him and asked in surprise: "Brother Ge, who are you worshipping?"

Ge Hun raised his head and looked at the two people who were completely clueless. He felt even more terrified. He pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing. I also think that Qi Lingmen treats us well. We should stay."

"Brother Ge is indeed sensible!" The smile on Xu Haiqiao's face became even wider.

"Since Brother Ge has said so, I will follow him back to the mountain gate." Yao Anlian, who had been dissatisfied with the quarrel, suddenly changed his mind.

"Brother Ge, let's go back to the mountain and apologize."

"Yes, let's set off now."

Xu Haiqiao and Yao Anlian stood side by side, all four of them looking at Ge Hun with smiling eyes.

Ge Hun felt frightened by the look on his face, and said quickly, "Okay, let's go back to the mountain now."

...In the mountains, Chen Guan, who was waiting for news in Lingfeng Hall, paced back and forth with a little anxiety in his heart.

The disciples in Xuanfeng have different thoughts, and many of them have ulterior motives, but after several years of war, they have learned many secrets of the sect's inheritance, and naturally they can no longer let them go.

But if they stay, they will just be a mob and will only cause more trouble.

But at least I can't leave now.

Otherwise, people will lose their morale, and the organization will be incomplete, making it difficult to operate.

Just when he was getting anxious, he heard the disciple guarding the mountain come to report that the three elders had actually returned on their own and were coming to apologize.

Chen Guan was surprised, but seemed to have guessed something, and said in a friendly manner: "Then let them make amends and guard the Death Cave dungeon, and replace the original guard elders.

Then spread the news to the people at the mountain gate, so that those who are worried can feel a little relieved."

"Yes! Peak Master!" Although the guarding disciple didn't understand why, he still did as he was told.

Soon, news spread from all over the mountain that the three rebellious elders had voluntarily returned to the sect, turned over a new leaf and started a new life.

Chu Ziyi was shocked when he heard the news, but he couldn't believe that the three people had really turned over a new leaf.

Because these three people were the ones he released for testing, if Qi Lingmen was really unable to restrain them, he would escape calmly.

But there is only one explanation for this situation. That is, the old ancestor who has just achieved true cultivation in the sect took action personally!
Chu Ziyi's uneasiness grew stronger. After much thought, he decided to take a risk. One night, he came to Li Yuan's residence, knelt on the ground covered with peach blossoms, kowtowed and said, "Disciple Chu Ziyi, I pay my respects to the ancestor!"

He only said this one sentence. If the ancestor wanted to see him, he would naturally hear it. If he didn't want to see him, then he wouldn't hear it.

Chu Ziyi didn't dare to look up and just knelt on the ground for a long time.

It was not until midnight that the crows began to cry in the deep mountains and the old courtyard door opened spontaneously, and a voice that sounded like the sound of nature came to him.

"come in."

"Disciple thanks the ancestor!"

Chu Ziyi stood up in surprise and walked into the courtyard. Seeing Li Yuan sitting on a bench, he bowed again and said, "Disciple Chu Ziyi, I come here to apologize."

Li Yuan looked at him for a moment under the moonlight and said calmly, "Look up."

Chu Ziyi could only slowly raise his head and meet those rosy-pink eyes, which were as gentle as the spring breeze and were intoxicating.

In a trance, Chu Ziyi recalled the benefits that Elder Chi had secretly promised him, as well as the many dirty things he had done during the beast tide war, and recalled them all over again.

When he came to his senses, he realized that everything about him had been seen by the young cultivator in front of him.

Chu Ziyi knelt down in fear: "Grandfather, please spare my life! Grandfather, please spare my life! From now on, I will never dare to do it again!"

Li Yuan laughed, "I am a person who values ​​talent. Just now, I only needed to pay attention to it, and I would have cut off your path in this life.

But for a casual cultivator like you, it is already rare and precious for you to reach perfection in Qi Refining. You are a smart one.

From now on, work hard for Qi Ling Sect."

"Yes Yes!

"I, the disciple, thank you for not killing me! I, the disciple, thank you for not killing me!"

Chu Ziyi felt as if he had been pardoned and kept kowtowing and apologizing.

"If you cure Xuanfeng, I will pass you a Qi Ling in the future." Li Yuan promised, "After all, since you have entered Qi Ling, you are naturally a disciple of Qi Ling Sect!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, Grandmaster!" Chu Ziyi said in surprise, "I am willing to serve you at my utmost!"

……

From the second day on, Xuanfeng was reorganized and accepted to follow the rules of Qiling Sect. Everything was done strictly in accordance with the other two peaks, and there was no partiality or favoritism.

The sect's great formation was repaired, all halls and departments were rebuilt, and the disciples' duties were reorganized; everything went smoothly.

Everyone in the sect was even more awed by this newly-minted True Cultivator. After all, a True Cultivator who could look directly into their hearts was far more terrifying than a True Cultivator with great combat power.

Li Yuan also began to retreat to consolidate his cultivation and entered the first stage.

The water level in the vast ocean of the Guangyuan Mountains gradually sank, and the water level in the entire Nanjue Land also dropped. The size of the sea monsters became smaller and smaller, and this catastrophe that had lasted for 1,200 years was about to pass.

All schools and sects hung white silk to pay tribute to their ancestors. Some lucky independent cultivators who survived the disaster also came out of hiding again, and the cultivation world in various places became lively again.

When Li Yuan was a hundred years old, all the floods on the continent receded, leaving behind only numerous spiritual objects on the seabed, which were scattered in various secret places, attracting countless monks to fight over and plunder.
