On the road leading to a secluded courtyard at the front of Longhu Mountain.

As he walked, the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei asked Rongshan behind him.

"Didn't I tell you to take care of Junior Brother Tian? Why did you go to the woods to deal with the Quanxing?"

Rongshan chuckled and began to speak.

"That little courtyard is very secluded and always quiet. Don't worry, Master, Uncle Tian will be fine."

The old master frowned and asked.

"It's always been quiet? Has no one ever been there?"

"That's not true. Before I came out, a young man went to Uncle Tian's place."

"The two of them seemed to know each other very well and talked alone for a long time."

"Later, Xiao Qingzi came over and said that you had also made a move. Uncle Tian and I were both a little worried about you, so Uncle Tian asked me to come and help you."

Upon hearing this, the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei's brows relaxed, and he nodded to Rong Shan before speaking.

"Ah That's good."

Since Zhang Yan had gone to Junior Brother Tian's place, he would naturally be unharmed. He wondered if Zhang Yan had healed Junior Brother's old injuries. Thinking this, he quickened his pace.

Having followed his master for so many years, Rongshan naturally sensed that his master was preoccupied with something, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy as well.

Will Uncle Tian be alright?

The two quickly arrived at the courtyard gate. The courtyard was extremely quiet at this time. Rong Shan nervously pushed open the gate.

The lights were off inside!

What's going on? The lights were clearly on when he left.

With such a major event occurring on the mountain, it's impossible that Uncle Tian would be meditating and practicing stillness. Could it be...?

Upon thinking of this, Rong Shan's heart jumped, and he quickly walked to the door and pushed it open.

"what!"

Rongshan was startled by what he saw. Xiaoqing had disappeared, and Xiaoyu was lying quietly on the bed.

Meanwhile, Tian Jinzhong, who was second only to one person, sat quietly in his wheelchair with his head down. The moonlight shining in from outside the door made his face appear snow-white.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Tian!"

Tian Jinzhong did not react at all, which terrified Rong Shan. His legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"what……"

"Rongshan".

The old master Zhang Zhiwei called out to his disciple, but he was caught in a huge panic and could only open his mouth silently.

"Rongshan! Your Uncle Tian is just asleep, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you notice their heartbeats before they came in?"

With Uncle Tian's safety at stake and his master's questioning, Rong Shan was in such a panic that he couldn't possibly pay attention to anything else.

"what?"

Uncle Tian hadn't reached the point of "being so full of spirit that he didn't want to sleep" through meditation; he hadn't slept for decades.

Today, the Quanxing sect attacked the mountain again, and Xiao Qingzi said that his master was forced to take action.

How could he possibly fall asleep in this situation?

Rong Shan still couldn't believe what he was seeing. He scrambled to Tian Jinzhong's side, and only when he got close did he notice the slight rise and fall of Tian Jinzhong's chest.

"Phew~ Did she really fall asleep?!"

"Master?"

Rong Shan was full of doubt. His legs were still weak, and he knelt down, turning his head to look at Zhang Zhiwei.

Uncle Tian, ​​get some sleep. You've worked so hard all these years. Now that the tall guy is here, you should take a break.

"When people are tired, they sleep; when they are hungry, they eat. They are born with the understanding of these principles. What's so strange about that?"

Zhang Zhiwei casually answered Rong Shan's question, and then continued.

“Your Uncle Tian will probably be sleeping for a while, so you can put him on the bed.”

"Xiaoyuzi's breathing is stable, he just fainted, let him rest there."

By this time, the great battle on the front mountain had basically subsided, and the Taoists from Longhu Mountain had all come to this small courtyard to report the situation to the Celestial Master.

When they heard the old master say that Uncle Tian had fallen asleep, they all looked incredulous.

Rong Shan had already come to his senses. His heart was no longer panicked and his legs were no longer trembling. He stood up and went to hug Tian Jinzhong.

As soon as he picked up the unconscious Tian Jinzhong, he noticed something was wrong; the loose trousers and sleeves seemed to be a bit too short.

"what?"

The disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion outside could see everything clearly and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Tian Jinzhong's hands and feet miraculously grew back.

A severed finger regenerates!

How did he do that? All eyes turned to Zhang Zhiwei.

The ability to grow back lost limbs is not something we are born knowing.

What nonsense! Even if it were still alive today, it wouldn't be a valid argument. Hands and feet aren't a gecko's tail.

This was within Zhang Zhiwei's expectations, but since Zhang Yan wasn't present, he couldn't explain it clearly in just a few words.

cough cough.

He coughed lightly twice and began to speak.

"It's a long story. I have a friend..."

"Alright, Rongshan, let Junior Brother Tian rest first. I'll explain it to you in detail later."

Just then, a huge sphere of light rose from the mountains and forests, which everyone in the courtyard saw clearly and was deeply shocked.

"Huh? What is that?"

"This scale of Qi... only the strategist's Golden Light Mantra on the front mountain can compare to it."

"Then who released this Qi?"

Everyone turned their attention to the old Celestial Master again. There was no way the old Celestial Master wouldn't know about someone with such cultivation in Longhu Mountain.

Golden light shone in the old celestial master's eyes as he looked at the enormous sphere of light. After seeing the situation clearly, he couldn't help but smile.

Hehe, I already said there was no need to look at those techniques, but Zhang Yan still showed off. But it's fine this way, at least this can be explained clearly.

"Ahem, everyone, don't worry. That person is my friend. He's the one who healed Junior Brother Tian's old injury."

As soon as the old master spoke, everyone in the courtyard immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"The advisor's friends? Didn't those foreign friends from a while ago leave?"

“That’s impossible. I personally escorted them down the mountain.”

"Then...who exactly is he?"

The old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand at the disciples of Longhu Mountain and spoke.

"Stop guessing, you've all heard of him. His name is Zhang Yan."

Upon hearing the name Zhang Yan, everyone stopped talking, and the courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Yan, a name that sounds both familiar and unfamiliar.

Zhang Yan, holy crap, there's only one person who matches this level of strength.

That's Zhang Yan from the legends! He's still alive, and he's even appeared at Longhu Mountain!

May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings; one must not utter vulgarities, nor even in one's heart.

Holy crap, is the world of supernatural beings about to change again?

"Don't just stand here and disturb Junior Brother Tian's rest."

Zhang Zhiwei interrupted everyone's contemplation and then spoke.

"Rongshan, you continue to stay here and take care of your Uncle Tian. The rest of you, go to the front hall for a meeting."

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, Master."

Everyone glanced again at the light shield and Tian Jinzhong, who was fast asleep inside the room, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in their hearts.

With two god-like figures like the Celestial Master and Zhang Yan around, how could Longhu Mountain not prosper?
