Chapter 106 Return to the Mountain (Second Update)

  The Dongdao government's affairs have finally passed.

  This matter, although the two old men of the Zong Lao Hui suspected that it was done by Lu Yuan, there is no evidence and they have no way to prove it. If it were someone from another small or medium-sized sect, they could still try to force their way through, but Lu Yuan is a member of the Huashan Xianmen, which is one of the five strongest Xianmen, and the first master of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yan Cangsheng, is precisely the leader of the Huashan Xianmen.

  There is no evidence and this matter can only be relegated to the past as an unsolved case.

  This incident has sparked reactions from all sides.

  The four major sects on this side had originally intended to take the opportunity to suppress Huashan Sect, after all, Huashan Sect was too powerful. However, due to Lu Yuan's counterattack, their plans were completely foiled. The four major sects - Qingcheng Sect, Kunlun Sect, Nanhai Sect, and Wudang Sect - felt even more strongly the power of Huashan Sect.

  The four major immortal sects are now like a mute eating a bitter melon, with grievances that cannot be expressed.

  ……

  Li Yuanbai sighed helplessly: "This is really absurd." He had already decided to wait for Lu Yuan's return and severely punish him. Such a thing as provoking the old master of the Zongmen was also done, truly reckless and presumptuous. Fortunately, his hands and feet were clean, but when Lu Yuan returned, he would also be punished and disciplined, and his sharp spirit would be ground down.

  ……

  Simachen was stunned, he had originally discovered that Luyuan was very reckless when he challenged Sima Jianyuan at the Sima Sword Pavilion. It wasn't until now that he realized the last time Luyuan challenged him was just a small matter. This Luyuan, normally was fine, but when he really went crazy, he was completely out of control. Simachen now felt it was unwise to have provoked Liyuan, however since they had already started, he thought of ways to thoroughly eliminate Luyuan before he grew up. As long as his own hands were clean, he could also make sure that Yuan didn't say anything. Simply put, if you want to play outside the rules, then don't get caught with evidence.

  ……

  Yuanyuan Shangren received the news and burst out laughing: "Not bad, well done! You didn't kill Huang Fengbo and the other four, I will take care of them later." Keeping Huang Fengbo and the others alive was a slap in the face to Huashan Xianmen. Yuanyuan Shangren had originally wanted to take action himself, but Lu Yuan's actions saved him the trouble.

  "Well done, beautifully done." Yuanyuan's superior laughed out loud, as if the resentment he had accumulated from being scolded by Laozong was all released at once.

  ……

  Everyone has their own reaction.

  But no matter how all parties reacted, this thing has already ended by now.

  This matter should have ended long ago. When Lu Yuan brought the matter to the attention of the Zong Lao Hui, it should have been over. However, the four major immortal sects played a trick, dragging this matter out until now before it finally came to an end. The delay in ending this matter has expanded its impact, and what each party is feeling in their hearts can only be known by themselves.

  As for Lu Yuan himself, he also returned to Mount Hua later on. However, upon returning to the North Peak, he was immediately scolded by his master Li Yuanbai. In Li Yuanbai's scolding, what was said most often was that Lu Yuan was reckless and presumptuous.

  Lu Yuan would naturally not be the slightest bit angry, and Master would scold himself for being a disciple. Of course, he couldn't say that from this scolding, he could feel Master's thick concern for him, also fearing that something would happen to him.

  Finally, Li Yuanba punished Lu Yuan to stay in Huashan for a year and could not leave Huashan within the year.

  Lu Yuan was indifferent to this punishment, and the master was also worried about himself. Moreover, he had stirred up a big storm in the mountain town recently, so it was just right to retreat to the mountains for a while to calm his mind. The secular world below was chaotic and easy to disturb one's Taoist heart, so it was necessary to adjust oneself on the mountain from time to time.

  It's also great to enjoy a leisurely life on the mountain.

  For this punishment, Yuan didn't say much. Lu Yuan appreciated his bold and daring personality. As long as you don't provoke me, it's fine. You can tease me casually, but once you exceed that limit, no matter who you are, I will definitely strike back.

  However, Li Shidi's tempering of his nephew's character is also good.

  This young master will have great use in the future.

  Yuanyuan Shangren had already made up his mind about this junior, lazy and sloppy, high in comprehension, with a decent innate talent, but doing things in a somewhat cunning way. However, once he got anxious, he would become frantic and do things recklessly. Li Shidi had indeed taken on a good apprentice, making Yuanyuan Shangren feel a little envious.

  ——————

  Summer goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and winter comes.

  In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

  A sudden snowfall, fluttering and swirling, fell for a day and night. After the snow stopped, stepping out of the house, the tiles were covered with a layer of white, like coral trees, and in the distance, other mountain peaks looked like jade dragons. It was truly a dazzlingly bright jade-carved universe. Lu Yuan walked out of his own courtyard.

  For the past half year, although I was supposed to be confined on Mount Hua for a year, this half-year has not been bad at all. Although I couldn't take a step down the mountain, Ye Yuan had stored quite a bit of wine there, and had already moved it back directly six months ago, enough for me to drink for a while. With nothing to do on the mountain, the various birds and beasts on the mountain were in for a disaster. For this half year, I practiced my sword, sat in meditation, drank wine, and roasted all sorts of delicious food, living a carefree life. And amidst this carefree existence, my magical powers had actually broken through to reach the peak of the Ninth Great Cycle of Qi Refining.

  Life

  Forget it, let's not lament about life for now, Master has also come out.

  Lu Yuan arrived at Li Yuanbai's side, wanting to support his master. Li Yuanbai smiled and scolded, "Your master is not yet at the point of needing someone to support him." After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked forward, while Lu Yuan naturally followed behind him. The white-robed old man walked in front, and the green-robed young man walked behind, and immediately two rows of footprints appeared on the snowy ground, extending all the way to Yunwu Palace.

  Yunwu Palace's Yunxuan Hall was quite lively at this time.

  Huashan's famous swordsmen, Junzi Sword Immortal Fang Ru, Taiyi Sword Immortal Sima Changbai, Sunset Sword Immortal Li Yuanbai, Lonely Heart Sword Immortal Dugu Ye, Round Harmony Sword Immortal Ye Yangrong, Flying Heaven Sword Immortal Chu Fei - all six have arrived, only Yuanyuan Shangren has not yet arrived. As for the ten great true transmission disciples, not a single one is missing.

  The first disciple, Yun Yi, the second disciple, Yun Ping, the third disciple, Ling Yu Zhu, the fourth disciple, Fang Dan, the fifth disciple, Sima Bo, the sixth disciple, Lu Yuan, the seventh disciple, An Zhi, the eighth disciple, Ye Fei, the ninth disciple, Ye Fang, and the tenth disciple, Ye Yuan, have all arrived one after another, filling the hall. In addition to them, there are also some not very well-known ninth-generation elders and some outstanding tenth-generation disciples.

  On each of several cases, wine and food had already been arranged.

  Today is different from ordinary days, it's New Year's Day.

  That's right, it's Chinese New Year.

  Cultivators don't just eat the wind and drink the dew as ordinary people think. Cultivators also celebrate the New Year, and Beifeng celebrates one every year. In fact, Beifeng's celebration of the New Year is also a summary of the past year and a look forward to the new year. Everyone gathers together, lively and bustling, which also strengthens the cohesion of the sect.

  The Five Great Sects attach great importance to the centripetal force within their own sects.

  A sect without centripetal force, you scheme against me, I scheme against you, and this sect is actually not far from extinction.

  ……

  Lu Yuan went in and greeted all the other disciples of the Ten Great True Transmissions, except for Sima Bo. Lu Yuan was usually a pretty easy-going person and got along with the others, but naturally, sworn enemies like Sima Bo were an exception. Of course, his two closest friends were Ye Fang and Ye Yuan.

  Ling Yu Zhu walked over: "Sixth Brother, I just came back from the mountain and brought you a bottle of Xianren wine." This was the second time Ling Yu Zhu had given him Xianren wine, but apparently, the price was also the same - to accompany her in practicing swordplay. Now, Ling Yu Zhu liked to find him to practice swords most often, what a tragedy.

  Ye Fang and Ye Yuan exchanged a knowing glance, waiting until Ling Yu Zhu had gone elsewhere before Ye Fang spoke up with a grin: "Sixth Brother, don't you think Third Sister won't take a liking to you?"

  "Cut the nonsense." Lu Yuan snapped: "Right, Master Fang is coming over."

  As soon as he saw Fang Shifu coming over, Ye Fang's expression immediately became serious. That was a serious face that couldn't be any more serious. He had a very skilled way of changing his facial expressions, and it was impossible to tell what he was really thinking. If Fang Ruzi Shifu saw him with this un-serious look on his face, he would probably get scolded again, and being forced to copy out the "Ode to Virtue" a thousand times would be normal.

  Ye Yuan's laughter burst out, and Ye Fang immediately felt that he had been teased. Another glance at his master showed that he wasn't staring at him after all, so he chuckled and said: "Sixth Brother, this isn't very kind of you."

  "Cut it out, don't be so thick-headed." Lu Yuan said disdainfully.

  ……

  While everyone was chatting, Yuan had already walked in.

  When Yuan Shangren walked in, the Cloud Xuan Hall suddenly became much quieter. Yuan Shangren smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, at ease." In fact, Yuan Shangren was very pleased. With one glance, he saw that all ten of his true disciples had made significant progress. Yun Yi had become even more stable, and Yun Ping no longer had the impulsive personality he once had. It seemed that he too had slowly accepted the idea that in a chaotic world, it would be better for Yun Yi to take over as the master of North Peak. The three disciples Ling Yu Zhu, Fang Dan, Sima Bo, An Zhi, Ye Fei, Ye Fang, and Ye Yuan were also much stronger than before.

  As for Lu Yuan, does that kid's strength really need to be worried about?

  The top ten true disciples are growing up slowly, and the contradictions between them are much smaller than those of the ninth generation in the past. In the past, the internal conflicts of the ninth generation were fierce and intense.

  And the tenth generation, only Yun Yi and Yun Ping competed, Sima Bo and Lu Yuan had a big conflict, compared to the ninth generation of that year, it was much better.

  As the ninth generation master of Beifeng, it's comforting to see that the tenth generation is more promising than the ninth.

  A sect wants to develop, first it must be in harmony with itself and others.

  The ancestors had their hands behind their backs, watching the tenth generation continue to grow and strive not to repeat the struggles of the ninth generation.
