Above the source of Tao

After half an incense stick of time, Yun Chang'an stopped bleeding, dragged his injured body, and put the python's corpse into the storage bag. He didn't want to leave any traces, so he carefully cleaned the battle scene, eliminated all traces that might expose his whereabouts, and then left the place quietly.

After half a day's arduous trek, Yun Chang'an found a hidden cave as a temporary hiding place.

He took out a wooden barrel from his storage bag and poured the precious essence liquid he had worked so hard to find into it. Xiao Xuan said that this essence liquid was not only beneficial for cultivation, but could also help heal injuries and restore physical strength.

Therefore, Yun Chang'an took off his clothes, jumped naked into the wooden barrel filled with Yuan Ye, and began to use the Tai Shang Five Elements Qi-Guiding Jue taught to him by Hua Shichen to guide the power of Yuan Ye to penetrate his whole body and accelerate his body's recovery.

Seven days later, at the secret place.

"Why hasn't Junior Brother come yet?"

After Yun Chang'an told them that he had led the anaconda away, he never contacted him again. After that, Gu Jin and He Linxue tried to contact Yun Chang'an many times but still failed, which made them increasingly worried.

"Junior sister, have you ever seen three people wearing the same clothes as us?"

At this time, a man came up to Senior Sister He with several people wearing the same clothes and asked. This man was Hengshu's disciple Hengyu, who was also Hengshu's youngest son.

"No."

When He Linxue was feeling upset, she saw a fellow disciple coming to ask her about something. She couldn't control her mood for a moment and responded to Hengyu coldly.

"That's a shame to bother you, please forgive me."

Hengyu still responded to He Linxue with a smile, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes. This little girl actually dared to speak to me like this. No one in the sect dared to show displeasure to me.

After saying that, he took his people away.

An hour later, the tower was about to be opened, and the fog in the distance gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance. There was a barrier separating the tower from these sect disciples.

There are seven hundred steps leading to the tower, and at the top of the steps is a tower. The tower is hidden in the fog, so its real figure cannot be seen clearly, and one can only vaguely see its general shape through the fog.

Since the founding of Shangyang Sect, only three people in the sect have climbed the tower, and the most recent one was the current leader’s uncle-in-chief, Nanmu Zhenjun.

However, my junior uncle is no longer in the sect. He has gone on a journey and no one knows whether he is alive or dead. For many years, I have not heard that my junior uncle has returned to the sect.

As the secret realm of the tower was about to open, there was no sign of Yun Changan.

"Senior Sister He, is there any news about Brother Changan?"

He Linxue turned her head and looked towards the voice that was speaking. It was Lin Yuan'er. There were more than a dozen figures around her, all of them were inner sect disciples, and they were surrounding Lin Yuan'er.

"No."

He Linxue spoke to Lin Yuaner in a depressed tone, and Lin Yuaner's expectant mood instantly fell to the bottom. Seeing Lin Yuaner's disappointed expression, He Linxue couldn't bear to see Lin Yuaner like this, so she spoke to comfort her.

"Junior Sister Yuan'er, don't worry. Junior Brother Chang'an has a blessed appearance, so he will be fine. He must have been delayed by something."

Lin Yuan'er knew that He Linxue was trying to comfort her, so she said thank you and said no more.

However, he thought in his heart that it was because his cultivation was too low and he could not help his brother Changan at all, which led to his death.

So he made up his mind that after leaving the secret realm, he must practice hard, hoping that the next time he encountered such a thing, he would not fall into such a situation.

"I say, who is Chang'an? Why is Junior Sister Yuan'er so distracted?"

"I don't know, it looks like he is an outer disciple."

The disciples around Lin Yuan'er were discussing in low voices.

At this time, Yun Chang'an naturally had no idea what was happening here.

"It's still a few dozen miles away."

Yun Chang'an was riding a horse at a quick pace. It seemed that his injuries were almost healed. His face was ruddy and he did not look like an injured person at all. However, his cultivation had improved a lot. The Yuanye was really good. It could be seen that his sea-like Qi Palace had been replenished by half. He had officially entered the middle stage of the Jifu period.

As the barrier at the stairwell broke, the fog dissipated, and the stairwell was officially opened. Many people stepped onto the platform in the barrier first. Among the hundreds of people who entered the secret realm at this time, only a few did not come here, including Yun Changan.

He Xuelin and the eldest senior brother looked back and still did not see Yun Changan. At this time, there were only the two of them and Lin Yuaner outside the barrier.

"Junior Sister Yuan'er, let's go, the stairs are open."

"You go ahead, I'll be there in a minute."

Lin Yuan'er still stared into the distance without giving up, waiting for his arrival.

After a while, no one came, so Lin Yuan'er wanted to enter the barrier with the main force.

"Junior Sister He, let's go too."

Gu Jin took one last look into the distance and said to He Linxue. He Linxue also looked at him one last time reluctantly and responded to Gu Jin's words. Just as He Linxue was about to look away, she saw a figure walking towards here in the distance.

"It's him. He's finally here."

Following the direction where He Linxue was speaking, Gu Jin also saw the figure and shouted out in surprise.

"It's Junior Brother, he's fine!"

After a while, Yun Changan came to the two of them, bowed to them and spoke.

"Big Brother, Senior Sister He, you finally arrived. I'm fine. I've already dealt with the anaconda."

"It's okay."

Senior Sister He cried with joy. She held Yun Chang'an's face with both hands and looked at him carefully. She found that he was not seriously injured, but just had some medicine wrapped around his waist. She then asked what happened.

After Yun Changan explained to Senior Sister He, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

So the three of them entered the barrier.
