Emperor Qiankun

After Elder Hua and Li Qingyuan disappeared, two figures quietly walked out from the back of the hall.

One of them was an old woman with a mean face and a hunched body.

The other was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a broad back.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was the first to break the silence. He frowned and complained to Chen Xuanxiao with an unhappy look on his face, "Sect Master, this old man Hua is getting more and more arrogant. He doesn't even give you any face!"

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Chen Xuanxiao's face became a little gloomy and ugly, but he did not respond immediately.

Instead, the old woman coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "This old man has indeed become much stronger. The self-confidence he lost back then seems to have returned to him. This will make our plan even more difficult to implement!"

"Wang Wei, you heard it just now, right? What happened to Wang Yi might not have been done by Li Qingyuan."

Chen Xuanxiao looked solemn. He first turned his gaze to the middle-aged man and spoke slowly.

Then, he looked at the old woman again and spoke with a hint of apology in his tone, "Uncle Wu, I bear a great responsibility for the failure of our attempt to win over Uncle Hua. I was too eager for success and acted a little too aggressively, which led to this embarrassing situation."

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, as if reflecting on his mistakes.

When Wang Wei heard this, his brows furrowed tightly together, like two rugged mountains.

He kept his lips tightly closed and said nothing, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, as if he still had doubts about what Li Qingyuan said.

......

However, after hearing what Chen Xuanxiao said, the old woman gently waved her hand and said soothingly, "Xuanxiao, you don't have to blame yourself too much. That's just the way Old Man Hua is. He's very stubborn."

"However, you don't need to worry too much. Although he has some disagreements with us, his loyalty to the Heavenly Sword Sect is unquestionable. He will definitely not do anything that is detrimental to the sect."

"Also, his disciple is quite courageous. Under such powerful pressure from you, he was able to hold his ground without wavering. He truly deserves to be the one to receive the Emperor Sword."

The old woman surnamed Wu narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of heat flashed in her eyes.

After saying this, the old woman surnamed Wu couldn't help but shake her head slightly and sighed, "Alas... We already have an old ghost, and now there's a little ghost. These two people are full of uncertainty in the current situation of the Tianjian Sect. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for us!"

"That kid is truly uncanny. He's only been in the sect for less than a year, yet his realm has advanced by nearly two major realms. This speed of cultivation cannot be explained by mere monstrous innate talent. It's highly likely that he's received a heaven-defying opportunity!"

Wang Wei frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself, "Yes, it is indeed very likely! Otherwise, why would Master Hua accept another disciple after so many years..."

......

Not far from the main hall of Xuanyun Peak.

Elder Hua looked at Li Qingyuan with concern and asked, "Boy, are you okay? These guys are becoming more and more reckless and lawless!"

Li Qingyuan shook his head and responded, "Master, I'm fine. I just understand that the reason why the Tianjian Sect is so corrupt is because of its roots. Constant internal strife and everyone's ulterior motives. If this continues, how can the sect not decline?"

Elder Hua sighed softly and said slowly, "Yes, after so many years, they have no intention of changing. They are still scheming against each other for their own interests. We don't need to get involved in their disputes. We should just do our best."

Then, Elder Hua waved at Li Qingyuan, smiled, and said, "Boy, I'm leaving first. I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Before he finished speaking, Hua Lao's figure flashed and instantly turned into a stream of light, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Only Li Qingyuan was left standing there quietly, looking at the direction where Mr. Hua left for a long time without saying a word.

Then, Li Qingyuan took a deep breath and once again turned his gaze to the magnificent Xuanyuan Palace.

At this moment, murderous intent surged in the depths of his eyes, and the cold light as solid as a substance almost pierced through the palace.

In his mind, Chen Xuanxiao had become the person who must be killed.

Because in his opinion, a sect leader like Chen Xuanxiao is simply the culprit of the sect's corruption. If he is not eliminated, the Tianjian Sect will probably never return to its peak.

......

After staring for a while, Li Qingyuan shook his head, as if trying to get rid of the heaviness in his heart.

Then he walked quickly towards his room.

After returning to the room, he immediately called the old yellow ox and said with a bit of urgency in his voice: "Old Ox, come and help us move. I will reward you with five spiritual herbs after you are done."

This old ox was a greedy person to begin with. When he heard about the magical herb, his eyes lit up immediately. He nodded excitedly, and his huge head kept shaking.

Li Qingyuan packed up the things simply. Actually, there weren't many things, mostly some useless daily items.

He naturally wouldn't put these things into the space ring, because that would make the space ring messy.

Soon, these miscellaneous items were packed up and carried on the back of the old ox.

Then, the man and the cow set out on the journey to their new home.

After about an incense stick of time, they arrived at the new courtyard.

At this time, the sun was setting, and a gorgeous sunset glow appeared in the sky, covering the entire courtyard with a layer of golden gauze.

Li Qingyuan walked into the yard, tidied up briefly, put his luggage away, and then found a bed to sit down and rest.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Li Qingyuan was thinking about setting off for home tomorrow.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Then he stood up, left the yard, and walked straight towards Su Yaoyue's yard.

......

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he happened to see Su Yaoyue and Li Muqiu chatting leisurely in the yard.

Su Yaoyue and Li Muqiu also heard the footsteps approaching from afar and looked over at the same time.

Li Qingyuan's figure gradually became clearer and appeared in the sight of the two.

Su Yaoyue was the first to ask, "Why are you here? Is everything settled?"

Li Qingyuan nodded slightly and said, "Almost done. How are you guys packing? I plan to set off tomorrow."

Su Yaoyue was surprised when she heard this and said, "Tomorrow? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

At this time, Li Muqiu on the side took over the conversation and said, "Actually, it's not that bad. There are only a dozen days left until the end of the year. Let's hurry back and make sure we can catch up with the New Year."

"It won't take that long. We can take the teleportation array and teleport all the way back. If everything goes well, we'll be home in two or three days."

Li Qingyuan added, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

Li Muqiu nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, kid, then I'll follow your arrangements!"
