Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 375 Returning to the Valley
With the destruction of the Heavenly Pillar, the spiritual energy here fell into chaos, and the entire Yixian Lake showed signs of falling apart.

Wen Daoxian sighed, "We must leave, otherwise the entire painting will be destroyed here."

Although Yun Yi had just experienced a fierce battle and even killed two Dao Integration Realm cultivators, he still had the strength to spare, so he took the initiative to come to Zhenxia Terrace to guide Chunli and Bai Ze.

Bai Ze nestled on his shoulder, whimpering with joy, seemingly out of danger.

Although its fur has returned to snow-white, the single horn on its head has failed to revert to a pair, leaving it as a uniquely-looking auspicious beast, the Bai Ze.

Yun Yi first touched Bai Ze, then grabbed Chun Li's wrist and transferred a stream of pure spiritual energy to her. "Aunt Chun, I apologize for my rudeness."

He could see that Chunli was exhausted. The reason she was holding on was because it wasn't time yet. She was afraid that if she showed her weakness, it would cause the Wen family to waver.

Chunli's expression softened slightly, and she said softly, "I'm fine, I'll be alright after a rest."

As Yun Yi helped Chun Li fly onto the Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship, Wen Daoxian immediately urged the ship to sail into the sky. Once they had completely left the boundary of Yixian Lake, he immediately cast a spell to hide the landscape before him.

As Yixian Lake gradually rose to the surface, its scenery transformed into a splashed-ink landscape painting, condensed onto the rice paper.

Wen Dao first put away the scroll, and before he could even catch his breath, he hurriedly steered the Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship outwards.

At this moment, outside the painting of Yixian Lake, dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled. The sky and earth seemed to be changing color, and who knew how many disasters it would bring.

The Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship appeared so small amidst the endless strange phenomena that even with its defensive barrier erected, it still swayed left and right.

The Wen family has lived in seclusion for most of the year and rarely ventures into the human world, so they are all terrified, as are the demonic beasts.

In the end, Chunli forced her way in, exhausting her own demonic power to maintain the situation. Finally, the "small boat" gradually broke through the dark clouds, and the sunlight became warm and the sky was high and clear.

A cheer erupted from the Tianhai Treasure Ship.

Yun Yi asked, "Where are we going next?"

Wen Daoxian replied, "No need to worry, I have found several auspicious sites beforehand, suitable for re-laying the scroll."

As expected of the head of the Wen family, he understood the principle of having multiple burrows and had made arrangements in advance.

Yun Yi then helped Chunli sit down at the bow of the boat and asked with concern, "Should I send a message to invite Master to come and help?"

I thought Chunli would love to hear this, but to my surprise, she refused without even thinking, saying, "If anyone is to come, it should be him who takes the initiative to find me. There is absolutely no way I would take the initiative to find him."

"This...you really don't need it?"

"You, a junior, don't need to worry about the things that the older generation does."

Seeing that she was determined, Yun Yi did not press the matter further.

Wen Daoxian noticed that Yun Yi was already planning to leave and asked, "Brother Yun, are you planning to go ahead first?"

"That's right, but I still need to borrow Bai Ze for a while."

The snow-white little beast perched on Yun Yi's shoulder whimpered twice, indicating that it wanted to leave with him as well.

Wen Daoxian naturally had no objection. "Bai Ze is of great importance to the Wen family and the demon race. Please take good care of it, Brother Yun."

Chunli said, "Xiaodao, you should worry less about other things. Bai Ze is born with excellent luck and can always turn danger into safety. You should worry about yourself instead of worrying about it."

Bai Ze puffed out his chest and said smugly, "Hey, Yun Yi, I've got your back!"

Wen Daoxian dared not argue back and could only shrug helplessly.

Yun Yi smiled and said, "The main reason is that I made an agreement with Sect Leader Lan beforehand. I also need to use Bai Ze's power to help her. After the matter is completed, I will return the little guy to the Wen family."

Wen Daoxian warned, "The Blue Fairy's temperament is fickle, and we don't know what she's using Bai Ze for. You should be careful when dealing with her."

"I remember."

"Since that's the case... the green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow on forever, we'll meet again!" Yun Yi and Wen Dao first clasped their fists in greeting, and then prepared to leave on their swords.

However, before leaving, he deliberately said, "Master is now living in seclusion in the East China Sea. If Aunt Chun wants to find him, she can go to a place called Ling'ao Island."

Chunli blushed and sneered upon hearing this, "Why did you have to be so talkative!"

……

Since Demon Lord Yi Tianxing failed his tribulation, Burial Sword Valley has become the largest sect of the Demon Sect, and in terms of scale, it is comparable to the Righteous Qi Sect.

However, its foundation is still far inferior.

Today, with the rise of Song Dynasty porcelain, its only remaining function is "deterrence".

After all, no one knows when the celestial realm and the mortal realm will be able to reconnect, and when that happens, the major sects will compete to see who has more ancestors in the heavens.

Aside from Song Xinci, the only other person in the Burial Sword Valley who could be considered a Dao Integration Realm expert was Qiu Feng. And since relinquishing his responsibilities, the old man had devoted himself to cultivation and had no intention of returning to the position of sect leader.

As for Jianchen, Xiuniang, Zhuque, and others, they are all only at the Returning Void Realm and cannot yet support the entire sect on their own.

As a result, the disciples within the sect remained relatively safe, but some less friendly voices gradually emerged from the outside world.

For example, they say that Burial Sword Valley occupies three sect sites all by itself, like a small butt trying to wear big shorts, which is a waste. They might as well give up two of the mountains to other demonic cultivators.

There were also some people who loved to watch the drama unfold and insisted on stirring up trouble among the Burial Sword Valley, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and the Yin God Palace to compete for the title of the number one Demon Sect. In reality, they were all just trying to take advantage of the chaos.

The reason these demonic cultivators acted so recklessly is actually related to the style of behavior of the Burial Sword Valley.

As the sect that is "least like a demonic sect" among the demonic sects, Burial Sword Valley rarely causes trouble.

To put it another way, if the Blissful Sect or the Crippled Sect had developed to their current size, they would probably have already organized the Demonic Sect to launch a large-scale attack on the righteous path.

They don't understand the concept of "keeping a low profile"; they only know how to take advantage of others' misfortunes.

Thus, a group of unaffiliated demonic cultivators gathered in Burial Sword Valley, making a great show of force, to demand an explanation from Qiu Feng.

That day, Dou Li rushed to the council hall and complained, "The group of people outside said that if Grand Tutor doesn't give the order, they're going to force their way through the mountain gate."

Grand Master is naturally Qiu Feng. Dou Li has been following Qiu Feng to learn swordsmanship for some time now, and has now reached the late stage of Qi Refining, which can be considered as some success.

The Vermilion Bird is now in charge of the valley, and is having a terrible headache caused by those demonic cultivators.

To be honest, if it were based on her usual personality, she would definitely have taken action without hesitation.

However, the situation is now somewhat complicated. The Demonic Sect is in disarray, and news has come from the righteous path that they seem to be interested in forming an alliance to attack the Demonic Sect.

At such a critical juncture, if we were to have a falling out with those demonic cultivators, it could lead to a major disaster.

Zhuque frowned, unable to think of a suitable solution for the moment.

I really envy Nangong Zhuozhuo and Ye Nianyi; I wonder where they've run off to enjoy their leisure time again.

Dou Li, understanding the situation, said, "Sister Zhuque, you think of a solution first. I'll go outside and keep an eye on things. If there's any movement, I'll come back and tell you immediately."

The boy, carrying the Azure Cloud Sword, returned to the mountain gate. Looking at the group of unreasonable demonic cultivators, he thought that if his cultivation were higher, he would definitely teach them a lesson.

Just then, a sword light whistled towards them.

The man had a small, snow-white beast coiled around his shoulder. Although it had been some time since Dou Li had seen him, the moment he saw him, he felt that "there is nothing difficult in the world anymore."

"Second Master, you're finally back!"
