Chapter 118 Meeting at Liubo Mountain

The nights on the island are quite cold, especially for women who are already prone to feeling cold.

Therefore, when Tian Ling'er woke up the next day, she found herself tightly embracing Bi Yao.

Just then, Tian Ling'er heard a rustling sound coming from the side. She turned her head and saw that Lu Xueqi was getting dressed.

"Senior Sister Lu, you..."

Tian Ling'er was startled, feeling as if her mind was a complete mess and her memories were all jumbled up.

Yesterday, if Tian Ling'er remembered correctly, she rested with Bi Yao. She even saw the fox clan's demon markings appear on Bi Yao's face.

As for what happened after that, Tian Ling'er didn't remember much. She was too tired and had fallen asleep early.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Lu Xueqi, who was on night watch, also went into the cave to rest.

"Junior Sister Ling'er, pack up, we should head back."

Lu Xueqi spoke with her back to Tian Ling'er, her voice seemingly calm, but her speech was quite fast, and her hand movements quickened as she spoke.

After getting dressed, Lu Xueqi was the first to leave the cave.

Although Tian Ling'er was curious, she didn't ask. She and Bi Yao quietly put on their clothes and left the cave.

Just after leaving the cave, Tian Ling'er and the others encountered Zhang Xiaofan. The group met up and then set off with Song Daren and the others towards Liubo Mountain.

……

Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea is not only a mountain, but also a huge island. The island covers a vast area, and its mountains are steep and majestic. In terms of size alone, it is the largest among the islands and mountains in the East China Sea.

However, because Liubo Mountain is located in a remote area and rarely visited by people, it is far less famous than the renowned Penglai Immortal Mountain.

But recently, Liubo Mountain has been unusually lively, even noisy, with righteous cultivators and demonic cultivators frequently fighting each other.

The righteous and demonic paths have a deep-seated grudge and have been fighting openly and covertly for countless years. Whenever they meet, they immediately start clashing with their magical treasures without saying a word, creating a huge commotion that quickly attracts the help of fellow cultivators, escalating the battle.

As the war escalated, some people naturally went to the Qingyun Sect for help, asking the sect's highly skilled cultivators to intervene. However, after a few battles with the powerful cultivators of the Demonic Sect, most of these efforts ended inconclusively.

Therefore, although the disciples of Qingyun Sect have been very busy these days, they have mostly been in their encampments, waiting for their righteous comrades to come and ask for help.

This actually made things easier for Zhang Xiaofan and the others, at least they didn't have to search all over Liubo Mountain.

Guided by Tian Ling'er, Zhang Xiaofan and the others quickly arrived at Liubo Mountain and found the Qingyun Sect's encampment.

The trip to Liubo Mountain was originally planned to be led by Tian Buyi, the head of Dazhu Peak, and Cangsong Daoren, the head of Longshou Peak.

However, after hearing that Lu Xueqi had fallen into the Abyss of the Dead, Master Shuiyue, the head of Xiaozhu Peak, volunteered to go to Liubo Mountain with her. Daoxuan Zhenren hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Qingyunmen Camp.

As soon as Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi, and the others entered the camp, many disciples from various branches of the Qingyun Sect were overjoyed and exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Brother Zhang, you're back!"

"Senior Brother Zhang!" Some quick-thinking disciples immediately went to the large tent in the middle, seemingly to inform Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue.

Zhang Xiaofan's face also showed a smile, and he returned the greetings to each of the Qingyun disciples.

However, when his gaze fell on the injured disciples, Zhang Xiaofan's expression turned slightly cold. He then smiled and gently patted them, saying in a deep voice.

"Senior Sister Lu and I will go in first to pay our respects to Master and the two senior uncles. You all keep a close watch on them. The demonic sect members are cunning, so remember not to act alone. Always travel in groups."

Biyao, Lu Wuyai, and the others who were following behind him were all stunned by what they saw. They could hardly believe that this was the prestige that a young disciple could possess.

In particular, when Zhang Xiaofan was giving instructions to his disciples, each of them nodded seriously in agreement. Their attitude was so serious that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Zhang Xiaofan their master.

Standing in front of the tent, Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath before lifting the tent flap and stepping inside.

Inside the tent, Cangsong Daoren, Tian Buyi, Su Ru, and Master Shuiyue took their seats in turn, with Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu, and Wen Min standing guard on either side.

Upon seeing Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi, and the others walk in from outside, Su Ru and Master Shuiyue's faces clearly showed a hint of joy.

Before the two could even smile, Su Ru and Master Shuiyue noticed the changes in Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er, especially Tian Ling'er, whose gait was clearly abnormal.

As someone who had been through it all, Su Ru naturally knew what it meant. Although Master Shuiyue had not experienced life's events, she was still old enough to know these things, especially since she had personally witnessed the changes in her junior sister Su Ru.

Immediately, both of their expressions changed drastically, especially Master Shuiyue, whose aura instantly turned cold, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Fortunately, Su Ru reacted quickly, realizing that this matter could not be made public so soon, and immediately reached out to pull Master Shuiyue aside.

Before entering the tent, Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er both lowered their heads, but they were secretly watching the changes in Master Shuiyue and Su Ru's expressions.

When Lu Xueqi saw Master Shuiyue's expression change from joy to anger, her heart skipped a beat, and she almost couldn't help but kneel down on the spot to admit her mistake.

Tian Ling'er was much better. She had been quite uneasy. Although she didn't seem to be afraid of being scolded by Tian Buyi and Su Ru, those were minor matters.

This time, she did something so big without making a sound, and Tian Ling'er was not sure what to expect.

But after seeing the change in Su Ru's expression, Tian Ling'er felt relieved, and even her head involuntarily lifted a little.

Tian Buyi didn't notice anything amiss, and was initially quite pleased to see his beloved disciple return.

But when he thought of this rebellious disciple, who was also trying to save Shuiyue's disciple and had made him worry, Tian Buyi's face darkened again, and he snorted softly.

"Hmph, you rebellious disciple, you still know how to come back!"

"Master, I know I was wrong!"

Without saying a word, Zhang Xiaofan immediately admitted his mistake, and Tian Buyi's expression softened considerably upon seeing this.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Buyi's gaze fell on Biyao, Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua behind Zhang Xiaofan. Especially Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua, how could Tian Buyi possibly hide the demonic aura on them?

Just as he was about to ask, Tian Buyi suddenly raised an eyebrow, his face showing a hint of excitement, and asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao Fan, you've broken through to the Upper Clarity Realm?"
