Starting with summoning the succubus

With this, the cleanup work for the Qingshui Mountain Range incident can be considered officially completed.

It's time to leave.

"..."

Outside the entrance of Qingshui Village, Yun Muzhi stood beside Qi Lin, Li Chengwen, and the others, bowing to the seventeen villagers who had come to see him off. "Gentlemen, farewell!"

Goodbye! Goodbye!

The rabbit on his right shoulder also stood up and waved vigorously at the villagers.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to all the esteemed immortal masters!!!"

The villagers knelt down to bid farewell to the departing group.

"let's go."

Yun Muzhi cast a spell, conjuring a whirlwind beneath everyone's feet, which carried them all into the sky.

"It's finally over."

Elena stretched and said lazily, "I didn't expect things in Qingshui Village to be so complicated. Apart from Daoist Yun, the Tianyuan Dao Sect only sent three people, but two of them turned out to be traitors, and they were from different factions."

"I just hope things will go more smoothly once we get to the Tianyuan Dao Sect," Catherine said softly.

"really."

Qi Lin nodded, then said to Yun Muzhi, "Daoist Yun, what follows is the main event."

"Please rest assured, all three of you," Yun Muzhi said earnestly. "Once we return to the sect, I will gather evidence as quickly as possible to clear my name and make Daozi pay the price he deserves. Furthermore, I will absolutely fulfill the promise I made to you three!"

"Then let's go back quickly."

Qi Lin smiled and patted Master Yun on the shoulder.

"Ok!"

Yun Muzhi made a hand seal with his right hand, which emitted a blue spiritual light. At the same time, the wind beneath everyone's feet also increased, and their speed was increased to the extreme.

Destination: Tianyuan Dao Sect!

……

……

a few days later.

Tianyuan Mountain Range!

This is a beautiful and spiritually rich place. Deep within this mountain range lies the most powerful cultivation sect in the entire Yuanqi Realm—the Tianyuan Dao Sect!

"..."

Above the Tianyuan Mountains.

Qi Lin, Yun Mu, and their group arrived on the wind, steadily approaching the sect located deep within the mountains.

"We're almost at the no-fly zone, Yun Muzhi. I'll head out first. We'll meet again later."

Suddenly, Li Chengwen said something to Yun Muzhi, then made a hand seal and cast a spell, transforming into a streak of blue light that flew at high speed into the depths of the mountains and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Elena was somewhat surprised. "What does that mean? He said the 'no-fly zone' was approaching, and then he sped away?"

"The no-fly zone of Tianyuan Dao Sect is for outsiders and ordinary disciples."

Yun Muzhi smiled slightly and explained, "As a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall in the seventh realm, Li Chengwen has the privilege of flying directly back to the sect within the no-fly zone, so he is too lazy to walk with us. Besides, there are still residual poisons in his body, so it is understandable that he is in a hurry to return to the sect to find someone to detoxify him."

"You, the esteemed 'Baiyunzi,' don't have this privilege?" Elena asked curiously.

“They used to have them, but they were taken away after being exiled,” Yun Muzhi said softly. “Alright, everyone, we should land now. Once we enter the no-fly zone, we’ll have to walk slowly on the ground. However, the scenery of Tianyuan Mountain Range is beautiful, so we can enjoy the scenery along the way while we walk slowly.”

After saying that, Yun Muzhi made a hand seal and cast a spell, controlling the whirlwind beneath everyone's feet to fly towards the ground and land in a forest within the inner perimeter of the Tianyuan Mountain Range.

Then, led by Yun Muzhi, Qi Lin and the others slowly walked into the depths of the mountains.

Chapter 411 Tianyuan Dao Sect

Yun Mu's words were true; the scenery in the Tianyuan Mountains was indeed beautiful, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and butterflies fluttering about.

Furthermore, Qi Lin and his companions discovered numerous monsters within this mountain range. These monsters were generally mild-mannered, and even when Elena casually rubbed their heads, they seemed unfazed. Along the way, several small monsters would occasionally dart out and beg for food from them.

These little monsters begged for food with a very arrogant attitude.

Yun Muzhi would always reward them with some spiritual fruits with a smile on his face.

According to Yun Muzhi, all the monsters that live and thrive in the Tianyuan Mountains belong to the Tianyuan Dao Sect and are called "spirit beasts." They are mostly vegetarian monsters.

The Tianyuan Dao Sect regularly sends people to check on the demons in the mountains. If any demons are found to be too murderous, they will be dealt with immediately.

However, only the Tianyuan Dao Sect has the authority to "handle" it.

Within this mountain range, without the permission of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, no one is allowed to harm the demons within, not even a single blade of grass or tree.

"..."

finally,

Qi Lin and his group approached the deepest forest in the Tianyuan Mountains, and from afar, they saw a long queue of people at the forest's exit.

"Master Yun, what are they doing?"

Looking at the long queue of at least seven or eight hundred people, Elena asked a question out of curiosity.

"Ok?"

Yun Muzhi stared at the distant procession, first stunned, then realized, "Oh, right, judging by the time, these past few days have been the Tianyuan Dao Sect's once-every-ten-year opening ceremony, which is the day for recruiting new people and widely recruiting disciples. Those people should all be people who are preparing to come and participate in the sect entry test."

Besides ordinary people who have the aptitude for cultivation and come here because of our reputation, independent cultivators who have already embarked on the path of cultivation can also participate in the entrance test of our Tianyuan Dao Sect after being verified and confirmed to have a clean background. They can strive to join a major sect and embark on a more promising path of immortality.

In fact, as far as I know, most of those queuing up are independent cultivators, since it's difficult for ordinary people to come directly to our Tianyuan Dao Sect.

In short, the opening ceremony usually lasts for a month.

During the grand ceremony, the area outside the Tianyuan Dao Sect's mountain gate was always packed with people, with long queues forming... just like now.

Yun Muzhi stopped and looked at the bear demon Da Pang and the rabbit behind him, saying, "Alright, you two can stay here for now. I'll come back to pick you up after I've settled you in the Tianyuan Dao Sect. Don't worry, this is the Tianyuan Mountain Range. No one dares to come here to kill demons and monsters indiscriminately. You're safe."

"Then Big Fatty and I will wait here for you to come back, Master."

Upon hearing this, the rabbit hopped from Yun Muzhi's shoulder onto the bear demon's head.

"Yes, at most a few days."

Yun Muzhi nodded, patted the bear demon's big head, and then looked at Qi Lin and the others, "Brother Qi, let's continue on our way."

"Do we need to queue?" Qi Lin asked with a smile.

"No need, just go."

Yun Muzhi strode forward toward the long queue ahead.

Qi Lin and the others followed closely behind.

The area where hundreds of people were queuing was an uphill slope, and the highest point of the slope was completely obscured by thick clouds and mist.

Therefore, those queuing below, even when looking up, could only see that the line stretched all the way to the clouds.

The mountain scenery, shrouded in mist and clouds, is both mysterious and alluring.

Qi Lin felt that the arrangement of queuing on the hillside was very meaningful. After all, for the natives of the Yuanqi Realm, the path of cultivation was such that the higher one went, the closer one got to that ethereal and mysterious place.

"..."

Qi Lin and the others followed Yun Muzhi, brushing past the long line of people, and slowly walked towards the top of the hillside.

During this time, people in the queue kept reminding them to obediently go to the back of the line.

"Hey, what are you doing? Get in line at the back!"

"These idiots are definitely going to be thrown down from up there by the seniors of the Dao Sect later."

"Exactly, I've seen so many idiots like this these days."

"..."

Yun Muzhi remained expressionless, ignoring the whispers around him, and kept quiet the entire way.

Qi Lin and the others did not chat or talk.

After all, six years have passed, and Yun Muzhi has returned to his sect's old grounds with the goal of clearing his name. He must have many feelings in his heart. Let this complex emotion be digested by Daoist Yun himself...

"Hey!"

"Stop, stop, stop! Who are you?"

When Yun Muzhi led Qi Lin and his group into the depths of the clouds and arrived at the top of the hill, two Qi Refining cultivators dressed in white blocked their way.

Here, two vermilion carved pillars support a memorial archway.

The plaque bears the three large, flamboyant characters "Ascending to Immortality," simple yet forceful, as if simply crossing this archway would grant one the chance to ascend to immortality.

At this moment, the two white-robed Qi Refiners from the Tianyuan Dao Sect stood under the archway, looking at Yun Muzhi and Qi Lin and the others who ran up with displeasure.

"Don't you know the rules?!"

One of the tall, thin Qi Refiners looked at Yun Muzhi and Qi Lin and said impatiently, "Queue up, don't you understand? Do you really think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come into our Tianyuan Dao Sect? Get down there and queue up!"

"Junior brother, why must you be so hostile?"

Yun Muzhi put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Take a good look at my face, and then think carefully about how you, as a gatekeeper disciple, should speak to people. Gatekeeper disciples are the face of the Dao Sect, and our Tianyuan Dao Sect is not so irritable. Don't give those who have traveled thousands of miles to come and pay homage to the sect a bad impression."

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin Qi cultivator's expression changed slightly, and he quickly took a closer look at Yun Muzhi's appearance.

"Senior Brother Bai Yunzi?!"

At this moment, another chubby Qi Refiner looked at Yun Muzhi and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You're Senior Brother Bai Yunzi?! Why are you back?!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin Qi cultivator was also extremely shocked and was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Am I scary?
