Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Master Cangyun was undoubtedly well-intentioned.

It is not surprising that this person with double pupils, who has a promising future and many connections with the Maoshan disciples, would show goodwill towards him.

However, Li Yu shook his head and spoke.

"Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but I have my own plans and am confident in my ability to ensure your safety."

Heaven knows how many old monsters are in Maoshan.

The fact that Cangyun, Shijian, and others showed me kindness does not mean that everyone does.

Li Yu did not want to put himself in an uncertain environment.

Seeing that Li Yu refused, Cang Yun didn't say anything more and took out a delicate bamboo sword, no bigger than a finger, from his storage bag.

"Since you have your own plans, I won't say anything more."

"This small bamboo sword was carefully crafted by me. It can conceal the secrets of heaven and prevent divination from prying into our minds, while also being able to withstand a fatal blow."

"Of course, most importantly, you can contact me with this bamboo sword no matter where you are."

"I will come to your aid when the time comes."

"Please accept this. If you need anything, please contact me."

This time, Li Yu did not refuse.

After accepting the bamboo sword, he spoke solemnly.

"I will always remember your kindness, senior."

Upon hearing this, Master Cangyun waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly.

"Forget about favors or anything like that, just get along well with Xiao Shijian and the others!"

This sounds like something an elder in the family would say when meeting their child's friend.

However, Cangyun does indeed deserve to be called an elder.

Then, Master Cangyun turned to look at Simu and spoke.

"Little Four Eyes, Xu Yuan is dead, so you don't need to stay here anymore. Aren't you happy?"

He knew his junior apprentice's character very well.

Every time he returned to Maoshan, he would complain for a long time.

Sure enough, as soon as this topic was mentioned, Si Mu's dizziness and back pain disappeared, and he jumped up from the ground excitedly.

"Of course I'm happy!"

"Who wants to stay in this godforsaken place every day?"

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Fellow Daoist Li. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much longer I would have stayed here!"

Seeing this, Master Cangyun shook his head and smiled, then spoke.

"So, do you want to come back to Maoshan with me?"

"No, no, no... The world is so big, I want to see it!"

Si Mu quickly shook his head in refusal.

Having just escaped one cage, how can you go to another?

He would never return to Maoshan until he had had enough fun!

Heaven knows what kind of work they'll have to assign him when he gets back to Maoshan!

Chizuru hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Uncle-Master, I plan to go with Senior Brother Four Eyes to visit Senior Brother One Eyebrow."

"It's been so many years since I've seen him. I wonder how he is now."

As for Shi Jian, he nodded in agreement.

Li Yu was a huge shock to him!

Shi Jian's desire for supernatural powers has reached an unprecedented level!

Moreover, he already had some ideas about the artistic conception.

This trip back to Maoshan is a good opportunity to ask my master some questions.

At this moment, Master Jingchen looked behind Yixiu at Jingjing, who was still somewhat shaken.

"Is this the disciple you took in?"

Master Ikkyu quickly replied.

"Master, Jingjing is my lay disciple."

"Not bad, this girl has potential."

"Now that you no longer need to guard Zhushan, do you want to come back to Baima Temple with me?"

After a moment's hesitation, Master Ikkyu shook his head and refused.

"Master, the world is in chaos, and the people are suffering greatly."

"I plan to cultivate with Jingjing in this mortal world and save those suffering people."

Upon hearing this, Master Jingchen showed a look of satisfaction.

"Ikkyu, among these juniors at Hakuba Temple, although you may not be the most talented, you are the one I value the most!"

"Go ahead and do what you think is right. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me."

"........."

After everything was arranged, Master Cangyun and Venerable Jingchen left.

As Golden Core cultivators, they have many things to do and cannot stay here to coax children all the time.

Before leaving, Shi Jian solemnly addressed Li Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please take care during this parting. Until we meet again!"

"......."

When only they remained present.

Si Mu looked around at the shattered surroundings and scratched his head with some regret.

"I was hoping we could have something to eat together before we parted, but it seems that's not going to happen now."

At this moment, Li Yu spoke with a light laugh.

"A brief separation is only for a better reunion in the future."

Even if we are separated by vast distances, there is still a chance for us to meet again.

"Who knows, maybe one day we'll meet again?"

"Fellow Daoists, until we meet again!"

Until we meet again!

Until we meet again!

"........."

With Four Eyes leading Jiale and Thousand Cranes leading the East, South, West, and North, they headed towards Renjia Town.

The three brothers hadn't gotten together in a long time, so now that they had the chance, they naturally wanted to have a good chat together.

Master Ikkyu, on the other hand, took Jingjing in the opposite direction.

That was Jingjing's hometown, the place where Master Ikkyu planned to begin his training.

It is worth mentioning that when they were leaving, even a person could see that Simu and Ikkyu were reluctant to part.

After all, we've been neighbors for over a decade, and the sudden separation is quite poignant.

But the two continued to mock each other, neither willing to let the other off the hook.

"You bald monk, watch out so you don't get hacked to death!"

"My lord, it is I who should be saying that!"

Of all the people, the most heartbroken was undoubtedly Jia Le.

Although he had only known Jingjing for a short time, he had already fallen in love with the girl.

However, before their relationship could progress, they were suddenly separated by distance.

Jiale was on the verge of tears.

But it was no use; in the end, he was still dragged away by the ear by Si Mu.

When they arrived at Zhushan, only Li Yu remained.

He sighed and went to the body of Jia Yi.

Now, it's just the two of us left.

"Let me interview you. How does it feel to be treated like trash?"

Seeing Li Yu's smiling face, Jia Yi glared at him fiercely, not to be outdone.

"Whatever Your Highness does, it's the right decision!"

"To die here is the greatest honor!"

"You, with double pupils, have no need for your mockery!"

Seeing this, Li Yu curled his lip in displeasure.

These brainwashed guys are really boring.

Having lost interest in communicating, Li Yu slammed his hand down.

"Come on, let me see what good stuff is in your head."

"Give up! I know what you're trying to do. We Hidden Dragon Guards are all protected by restrictions; you won't find out anything!"

Li Yu remained silent, but the Ghost Nightmare was activated, instantly taking control of Jia Yi's consciousness.

When he tried to control him to reveal information about the Hidden Dragon Guard.

But they discovered that A couldn't utter a single sound!

Even the meridians in the body begin to swell, which is a sign of self-destruction!

Seeing this, Li Yu could only kindly send him on his way ahead of schedule.

Ascension Power +5

Looking up at the sky and feeling the earth-shattering changes in himself, Li Yu murmured.

"Now, it's time to get back to my own things..."

The resources he obtained at the Hengcheng gathering were enough to greatly improve his cultivation!

Next, I need to find a place to retreat and properly digest what I've learned...
