Reincarnation Immortal Venerable: Starting from the Ninety-Nineth Incarnation

News of the rampaging beasts in the back mountains quickly spread throughout the entire Qiyun Sect.

It has been determined that the formation and flags were maliciously tampered with, causing the Black Wind Bear to go berserk. This matter has been reported to the elders and the enforcement team, and an investigation is underway.

The fact that Li Yanzhou defeated Wang Meng in one move and Shi Dazhuang killed the Black Wind Bear with his bare hands became the hottest topic of conversation among the sect disciples. No one dared to underestimate these two newcomers who had come from the outer sect anymore.

Elder Chaohua and Elder Ruoxue also heard about this and specially sent people to deliver a lot of cultivation resources and healing pills. They also specially sent Shi Dazhuang a big bag of candied fruit, which made Shi Dazhuang so happy that he couldn't stop smiling all day. The two elders also told Li Yanzhou to take Shi Dazhuang to Yunting when he had time.

Life returned to normal.

Li Yanzhou spends his days in the cultivation chamber, honing his foundation in the Zhenxi Realm and circulating the "Dust Boat Technique" to transform the absorbed spiritual energy into chaotic energy. His cultivation becomes increasingly stable, and the chaotic energy becomes purer and purer.

Lingyu steadily simulated the aura of a mortal root, and apart from himself, no one could detect the chaotic origin within his dantian that was enough to overturn the entire Qingyun Realm's understanding.

Su Qingyao spent her days in the Pill Hall, learning alchemy from Elder Lin. She was already extremely talented, and with the guidance of a renowned teacher, coupled with her tireless study of the "One Hundred Explanations of the Supreme Alchemy Classic," her alchemy skills improved rapidly. She soon became the most prominent rising star in the Pill Hall, and even the elders of the sect began to seek her out to refine pills.

Shi Dazhuang became a "celebrity" in the outer sect. The disciples all liked this honest, strong, and simple-minded guy. They would call on him to help with any heavy work and would always bring him all kinds of delicious food afterward. Shi Dazhuang was happy every day, and no one dared to bully him anymore.

That afternoon, Li Yanzhou had just finished his cultivation when he saw the sect's steward standing at the courtyard gate. Upon seeing him, the steward immediately bowed and said, "Senior Brother Li, the elders have issued an order to assign sect training missions to you and Junior Sister Su. This is the mission order."

Li Yanzhou took the mission order, opened it, and frowned slightly.

The mission order stated that in Qingyang City and surrounding towns, there have been frequent disappearances of cultivators recently. All of them are low-level cultivators, and they have not been seen alive or dead. Local mortals have also been frequently killed, leaving only faint demonic energy at the scene.

The sect suspected that remnants of the demonic path were behind the trouble, and ordered him and Su Qingyao to lead a team to Qingyang City to investigate the matter and wipe out the hidden remnants of the demonic path. The mission had a deadline of one month.

"Qingyang City?" Li Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat.

"Besides me and Junior Sister Su, who else is with us?" Li Yanzhou asked the steward.

"There are also three inner disciples, all at the early stage of the Zhenxi Realm. You will be the captain of this training camp, and all actions will be under your command." The steward replied respectfully. "The elders said that you are in charge of everything during this training camp. If you encounter any danger that you cannot resolve, you can immediately send a message back to the sect, and the sect will immediately send people to provide support. These are the flying magic treasure [Cloud Boat] and intermediate storage bags given to you by Elder Chaohua and Elder Ruoxue, which can be used to store the Cloud Boat and other items."

"I understand. Please convey my thanks to the elders. We will depart in three days." Li Yanzhou nodded and accepted the mission order.

The deacon bowed and then turned and left.

Li Yanzhou turned and walked into the courtyard, just in time to see Su Qingyao returning from the Pill Hall, with Shi Dazhuang following behind her, carrying a large bag of candied fruit given to him by the Pill Hall disciples.

"Qingyao, the Elder Council just assigned me a training mission to investigate the recent disappearances of cultivators in Qingyang City. The sect suspects that remnants of the demonic path are behind it." His tone was calm, but there was a hint of seriousness hidden in it. "I just became an inner sect disciple, and the Elder Council assigned me this task, most likely to use this opportunity to clear my name and build momentum within the sect. After all, the match with Wang Meng was just the beginning."

Su Qingyao reached out and picked up the mission token, quickly scanning the inscription on it.

His finger paused slightly on the three characters "Qingyang City," his expression changed, and he even tightened his grip on the mission token.

She looked up at Li Yanzhou, her tone tinged with surprise and barely suppressed wariness: "I see. It makes sense that the sect has this intention, but Qingyang City? How could it be Qingyang City? Are there remnants of the demonic path hiding there?"

"I suspect it's related to the remnants of Mo Yuan's forces left behind in the Central Plains of Ten Thousand Paths." Li Yanzhou said solemnly, "The torn scrolls in the Scripture Pavilion and the traitors hidden within the sect all indicate that the demonic path has long since infiltrated the area around Qiyun Sect. This trip to Qingyang City will be a good opportunity to investigate what exactly happened."

"Me too! Me too!" Upon hearing the words "Qingyang City," Shi Dazhuang immediately came over, raising his fist with a serious expression. "Dazhuang can fight monsters!"

Li Yanzhou smiled and ruffled his hair: "Okay, I'll take you with me."

He knew very well that this experience would definitely not be easy.

The fact that the demonic cultivators dared to commit crimes right under the nose of the Qiyun Sect shows that they were definitely not ordinary demonic cultivators; there might even be high-level demonic cultivators in charge.

But this is also an excellent opportunity.

He had just broken through to the Zhenxi Realm and needed real combat experience to hone his cultivation. He could also take this opportunity to investigate the movements of the demonic path.

For the next three days, the three of them prepared for the training.

Su Qingyao locked herself in the alchemy room and spent three whole days refining pills for various purposes, including healing, detoxification, and replenishing qi. She filled a Qiankun bag with pills for all these purposes.

Li Yanzhou went to the Scripture Pavilion and memorized the terrain of Qingyang City and its surroundings, as well as the distribution of suspected demonic strongholds recorded by the sect. He then went to the sect's treasury and exchanged for a communication talisman.

Shi Dazhuang then took out his favorite cloth bag and stuffed it full of candied hawthorns and candied fruits, making it bulge out like a child about to embark on a long journey.

Three days later, at dawn, Li Yanzhou, along with Su Qingyao, Shi Dazhuang, and three other inner disciples, met up.

The three inner disciples, two men and one woman, Zhang Hao, Wang Lei, and Lin Wan'er, were all at the early stage of the Qi Suppression Realm. Upon seeing Li Yanzhou, they immediately bowed respectfully and greeted him, "Senior Brother Li!"

After their battle at the training ground, they were already completely convinced of Li Yanzhou's abilities.

Li Yanzhou nodded in return, his gaze sweeping over the three of them. His tone was calm: "This training trip to Qingyang City is fraught with danger. I have only one request: follow orders at all times, do not leave the group without permission, and do not act alone. Can you do that?"

"Yes!" the three answered in unison.

"Okay, let's go."

At Li Yanzhou's command, he summoned the cloud boat, and the group of six turned and left Qiyun Sect, flying towards Qingyang City.

The morning breeze lifted their robes, and the rising sun cast long shadows behind them.

Li Yanzhou walked at the front, holding the long sword at his waist, his eyes filled with determination.

He knew that this ordeal would be anything but peaceful.

But he was fearless. From the night the Qingxuan Sect was destroyed, the path he walked was always full of thorns.

Only by being tempered in the face of life and death time and time again can one become stronger and uncover the whole truth.
