The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

As soon as Wan Nian rushed over, Yun Yici reacted quickly and slightly turned her body to the side.

Wan Nian just happened to grab her arm.

The big fox's eyes were brimming with tears, and ripples of emotion shimmered in them.

He asked, feeling wronged, "Xiao Ci, where did you go?"

The current Wan Nian can no longer be called a little fox.

He was taller than Yun Yici, and when he bent down, he could only reach her shoulder.

Yun Yici felt her shoulder getting wet, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort this big fox cub who was even taller than her but still loved to cry.

But she felt that in Wan Nian's heart, she was a protector, like an older sister or a mother.

Helpless, she reached out and patted the young man on the back: "I'm sorry, Wan Nian."

I'm sorry for making you wander around alone for so long.

Li Ji said in a deep voice, "Wan Nian, have you forgotten your experiences over the past hundred years?"

The young man who was holding Yun Yici tightly froze for a moment, then slowly released her, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Senior Li Ji."

He has grown up and can no longer be as timid as before.

He can no longer wait for someone to protect him.

Yun Yici tried to ease the tension by saying, "Master Mingwu, Senior Liji, you must be tired from your journey. Please sit down and rest."

"Later I will invite my master and senior brother over, and I will prepare a feast to welcome you."

Mingwu, Li Ji, Xuanzhu, and the others sat down in turn.

Li Ji exclaimed, "Xiao Ci, I never imagined you would become the leader of the Lingwei Sect."

"I was still somewhat skeptical when I was halfway there, but after seeing you today, I know that the rumors are true."

Mingwu said from the side, "This is the fate between Sect Leader Yun and Lingwei Sect."

Yun Yici knew perfectly well that she had already recognized Shen Huaichuan's identity, hence her statement.

Xuanzhu sat quietly to one side, dressed today in a white monk's robe with lotus patterns, looking elegant and refined.

Wan Nian sat obediently beside Xuan Zhu.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Xuanzhu, who was usually very good-tempered, seemed a little fierce today.

However, Yun Yici's words immediately caught his attention.

"For the past hundred years, my body has been sleeping beneath the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, while my primordial spirit has been learning arts at the Lingwei Sect. Later, the two merged and I returned to the world."

Yun Yici briefly introduced her experiences over the past century, and then chatted with Li Ji about their recent situations.

"By the way, Shi Tian and my second senior brother also came from the demon realm."

Li Ji sighed, "I know. His mother sent me a message, worried that your senior brother wouldn't be able to control Shi Tian, ​​and asked me to help keep him in check."

"After all these years, I no longer resent him."

Seeing that Li Ji no longer cared about the ambush from back then, Yun Yici said, "Then I won't hide the news of my visit from you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Mingwu said, "I had been in seclusion for many years, but recently I have had a breakthrough in my mental state. I think this is the last time I will see Sect Leader Yun."

Yun Yici sensed the surging, overflowing aura emanating from Mingwu's body.

She frowned slightly: "Master Mingwu, are you preparing to undergo the tribulation of ascension?"

Mingwu nodded and said, "I have come here to see Elder Shen of your sect and ask him to enlighten me."

Mingwu had met Shen Huaichuan and recognized him, so he must have noticed something was wrong.

Yun Yici put away her smile: "Elder Shen is currently giving a lesson to my sect's disciples. I will introduce you to him after the banquet."

If Mingwu insists on ascending to immortality, he will most likely be imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao in the Ghost Realm, the Demon Realm, or some other place.

Yun Yici felt a little heavy-hearted and stood up, saying, "I will take the two seniors to Guest Peak to settle in first."

"I will invite you all to the banquet after I have prepared it."

Mingwu, Liji Wannian, and the other two followed Yun Yici to enjoy the scenery of Lingwei, and their minds were finally at ease.

The spirit swords no longer avoided people, their blades gleaming in the sunlight.

Mingwu exclaimed, "The Ling Mountain is beautiful and its sword intent is unstoppable. The Lingwei Sect will be able to regain its former glory within a hundred years."

Yun Yici settled Mingwu and the other two in the room next to Xuanzhu. Before leaving, she thanked Mingwu and Liji again: "Thank you for taking care of Wannian."

Then she pulled out the scroll and used her spiritual power to make Qian Sui take human form and reunite with Wan Nian.

Wan Nian was both surprised and delighted, never expecting to see Qian Sui again.

After doing all this, Yun Yici went to find Shen Huaichuan and Yue Niang.

It was already noon, and Shen Huaichuan had finished class.

He and Yue Niang learned from Yun Yici that Mingwu was about to ascend to immortality.

Shen Huaichuan said, "Enlightenment and ascension are inevitable, but now is not a good time."

The ladder to immortality is broken.

He was so arrogant that he thought he could be the last person to help him.

But he was powerless to do anything about it.

The attempt to achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality is destined to fail.

Yue Niang was no stranger to Ming Wu.

The twelve sects arose at almost the same time.

She said, "I'm sure the monk Mingwu won't recognize me."

"Let's just be frank and tell him to suppress his cultivation level."

"Don't worry about keeping it a secret, these monks are much kinder than us."

After discussing it, the three decided that Yunyi would introduce Shen Huaichuan and Yueniang to Mingwu after she left the banquet.

As for the banquet, Shen Huaichuan had already made preparations, as the elders and disciples of various sects would be arriving soon.

Not long after nightfall, Yun Yici sent out invitations, inviting everyone in the sect to a banquet.

This is not a traditional banquet where each person has their own table.

Because of the large number of people, Yun Yici simply set up several large tables, where everyone could freely help themselves to delicious food and fine wine, without interfering with their own activities and conversations.

This novel banquet pleased everyone.

In addition to the imperial edict.

He drank several glasses of wine in silence before he could barely suppress the burning jealousy in his heart.

Shen Huaichuan stood guard beside Yun Yici, giving no one any room to interfere.

These days, the Emperor knew that Yun Yici was having a very hard time.

He tried several times to ask Yun Yici for help, but Shen Huaichuan turned him down each time.

This was the first time in more than ten days that he had seen Yun Yici openly and honestly.

The emperor, enraged, downed three more cups of wine.

Yun Yici finally noticed this unusual behavior. She walked up to the emperor and took the wine cup from his hand, only to meet his bright red eyes.

The emperor frowned slightly, about to reprimand the other party, but upon recognizing the person he had been longing for, he fell silent.

His voice was hoarse as he whispered, "I said I could help you, but you've forgotten, haven't you?"

"You only need Shen Xiu, right?"

Yun Yici was originally worried that he was not in a good state, but when she heard the emperor's question, she was taken aback and said, "What do you mean by that?"

“The other day, all the elders were here. You have a great reputation. I was worried that people would treat you badly if they recognized you. It’s not that I have any complaints about you.”

The Imperial Decree's headquarters is, after all, in the Demon Realm, and its true form is a phoenix, which was previously misunderstood as an evil phoenix.

Yun Yici thought that since it was the first time the Grand Elder had visited, it was better to avoid trouble.

The emperor was exceptionally handsome, but he was hiding in the shadows drinking alone. Yun Yici approached him, and the two spoke in hushed tones, so they did not attract attention.

Upon hearing her explanation, the emperor was finally satisfied with his pent-up frustration of the past few days.

His phoenix eyes shone brightly like stars as he stared at her without blinking.
