Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Yufeng Gate and Yingxian Pavilion.

The room was paved with warm jade and filled with the aroma of tea. Mo Changgeng, the leader of the Yufeng Sect, sat on the main seat, his eyes sweeping over the faces of the four "Yuanliu" members one by one. Each of them had a solemn expression.

Is there something going on on the front line?

So the meaning of your visit now is to ask them to do more?

Mo Changgeng guessed in his heart.

During this foreign invasion, the Yufeng Sect did not contribute much. Apart from some ordinary disciples who were still full of enthusiasm, the most elite one was Qiu Liuyun.

Talking about Qiu Liuyun, the troublesome disciple, Mo Changgeng felt a headache.

He was clearly the most talented disciple of this generation, but he went into seclusion in the Five Swords Realm. Others received the inheritance, but he did not, which brought shame to himself as the sect leader.

That’s not all, he also lost the contracted beast that he had carefully selected for it!

In order to obtain this divine beast egg that may have the potential to revert to its ancestral form, Mo Changgeng spent a lot of effort. After learning that Qiu Liuyun's contracted beast was missing, he almost fainted from anger on the spot.

Keeping such a disciple by his side would really affect his practice, so he threw him to "Yuanliu", thinking out of sight, out of mind. It is said that he was running errands for "Yuanliu" and clearing the anchor point.

Even though he's on the front lines, this kid is very smart and nothing should happen to him.

The hall master who came with Mo Changgeng reminded him, and he realized that he had been thinking too much. He quickly collected his thoughts, cleared his throat, and asked directly, "What brings you to my Yufeng Sect?"

There was no disdain in his tone, but it wasn't one of respect either.

"Let me tell you."

The person sitting in the second seat spoke, "My name is Ye Yunjue, and I'm the leader of this mission. I'll make it short—the Level 3 Envoy has taken action again.

This was his second attack. We studied the reason for his first attack and concluded that the attacked team must have discovered some important intelligence.

In the end, only one person survived the team, so he was the only one who knew what happened. Even though we healed all his injuries, he was still unconscious.

As a last resort, we used soul-searching techniques on him to try to read his memories."

"And then?" Mo Changgeng nodded slightly, motioning Ye Yunjue to continue.

"Then, we failed." Ye Yunjue put down the empty teacup and sighed, "There is a powerful force protecting his soul, preventing us from spying. We tried many other methods, but we couldn't break through."

Hearing this, Mo Changgeng frowned slightly.

"Yuanliu" made its fortune through archaeology. The "other methods" that Ye Yunjue mentioned must include lost forbidden techniques, and the number must be quite large.

This is an organization that has mastered forbidden techniques such as blood exchange and luck devouring, and its background is immeasurable.

The reason why forbidden techniques are called forbidden techniques is naturally because of their powerful effects and terrifying price. With such support, how could "Yuan Liu" still be defeated?

The key point is, what does this have to do with my Yufeng Sect?

Is there any problem that "Yuanliu", which possesses a large number of forbidden techniques, cannot solve, but a small Yufeng Sect like us can solve?

Mo Changgeng asked his doubts. Ye Yunjue stared into his eyes and replied, "This person is a disciple of your Yufeng Sect."

"Who?" Mo Changgeng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The next moment, he really heard the three words he least wanted to hear from Ye Yunjue.

"Qiu Liuyun."

click!

Mo Changgeng lost all his strength and squeezed the armrest of the chair, leaving several cracks.

Fortunately, the chair was not made of ordinary wood, otherwise he would be sitting on a pile of wood chips.

Although Qiu Liuyun, that annoying guy, broke his heart, this was, after all, the disciple he had rescued and brought up. The joy he had gained from him in the past was real. It was impossible for him to say that he didn't care about his safety.

Mo Changgeng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to disregard his image and rush out of Yingxian Pavilion. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you suspecting that the power that forbids prying was left behind by our Yufeng Sect?"

"It's related to your Yufeng Sect." Ye Yunjue paused and added, "This is the result of divination."

Ye Yunjue spoke with such confidence that this must be the result of some forbidden technique.

Mo Changgeng fell into deep thought.

As the leader of the Yufeng Sect, he certainly knew that the sect did not have any secret techniques of this level.

Ten years ago, the Yufeng Sect was just a small sect affiliated with a large sect. All the good things were looted by the large sect above it, and it had no foundation. After becoming independent, it was able to join the ranks of immortal sects only because there was a blessed land of weapons in the sect - the Realm of Five Swords.

They are on good terms with those beings in the Five Swords Realm. Only with their help can practitioners more easily obtain magical weapons.

Wait, the Five Swords Realm?!

Mo Changgeng suddenly thought of a possibility.

Although there is no secret technique that meets the requirements in the sect, those beings in the Five Swords Realm may have it!

Qiu Liuyun once went into seclusion in the realm of the Five Swords, obtaining inheritance from a "teacher". It is possible that this was the work of that teacher.

Thinking of this, Mo Changgeng felt at ease and a little more confident.

A teacher can't harm his students, right?

Especially since that teacher isn't human.

Moreover, with my identity, it shouldn't be too difficult to communicate with this "teacher", and what "Yuan Liu" asked me to do will be possible.

Finally, Mo Changgeng said what he had always wanted to say: "Take me to see him."

……

A moment later, in the residence arranged by the disciples of Yufeng Sect for the people of "Yuanliu", Mo Changgeng saw the unconscious Qiu Liuyun.

The young man's eyes were tightly closed, and a scar ran through half of his face. There was no trace of blood on his face. Even though he was unconscious, his brows were still furrowed, as if he was still stuck in a desperate situation where he was doomed to death.

It was early summer and the weather was quite pleasant. "Yuan Liu" dressed Qiu Liuyun in a long gown. His exposed skin was covered with scars, which was enough to give a glimpse of the horrifying scene underneath the gown.

It is enough to imagine how dangerous and desperate the situation was at that time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mo Changgeng clenching his five fingers into a fist, and Ye Yunjue beside him couldn't help but lower his eyes.

It is extremely lucky for a king-level person to be able to save his life from the hands of a third-level envoy.

But not everyone can be like the suspicious young man that the Level 3 Envoy targeted when he made his first move. The young man was even able to escape from the complete eclipse dream world.

If he remembered correctly, the boy seemed to be called Xiao.

Xiao is a legendary mountain monster.

Very interesting name.

On the other side, Mo Changgeng quickly came out of his personal emotions and began to check the condition of Qiu Liuyun's soul. Gradually, his expression became a little strange.

He felt somewhat familiar with the power that protected Qiu Liuyun's soul.

Seeing that Mo Changgeng seemed to have discovered something, Ye Yunjue asked, "What's the situation?"

Mo Changgeng raised his hand to signal Ye Yunjue to stop talking: "Let me confirm it again."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and after careful inspection, he finally confirmed one thing -

This sense of familiarity is not an illusion.

The power that protects Qiu Liuyun's soul and prevents the people of "Yuanliu" from using forbidden techniques to spy on his memories does not come from the existence in the Five Swords Realm, but from Qiu Liuyun's contracted beast, Juanyu Blue Chicken.

Although the power at this moment is somewhat different from that of the previous Blue Rain Chicken, Mo Changgeng is certain that this is it.

But...hadn't it disappeared a long time ago? Even Qiu Liuyun, who had a contract with it, said he couldn't find it.

When I learned about this, I was furious.

Mo Changgeng's eyes rolled and he thought of a possibility.

Something went wrong during the initial retreat, leading to the disappearance of Juanyu Blue Chicken.

Perhaps it was because of this problem that Qiu Liuyun, who had the best qualifications, did not receive the inheritance.

When Qiu Liuyun came out of retreat, Mo Changgeng did not ask about the former's "teacher" in the Five Swords Realm. At that time, he thought that Qiu Liuyun must have returned empty-handed because his skills were inferior to others and did not meet the requirements of his "teacher".

After all, in the past, this was mostly the reason for disciples' failure.

And now, he decided that he should go to the Realm of Five Swords.
