I'm not a psychopath!

As Jiang Qing successfully survived the thrilling catastrophe, the turmoil in the sky gradually subsided, as if even the heaven and earth were celebrating for this newly promoted strong man.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the afterglow of Jiang Qing's amazing transformation, in the sky on the other side, Qin Xiaosui's catastrophe slowly drew down its curtain.

Qin Xiaosui, also a peerless genius of Ziyun Sect, faced her own catastrophe and also showed extraordinary will and strength.

When she was not seized, she also successfully turned the catastrophe into nourishment and took her cultivation to a higher level.

The successive endings of the two catastrophes seemed to indicate that a new era was quietly opening.

After the catastrophe, there was a subtle change in the air, as if the continuous battles and challenges finally brought about the return of a certain balance.

The battle of luck ended with it. After a brief confrontation, the demons seemed to realize the powerful power of the human race at the moment, and retreated one after another, disappearing in the vast mountains and forests, leaving behind a temporary tranquility.

As the crisis was resolved, everyone's mood also relaxed.

They gathered together to share their experiences and insights, and everyone's face was filled with the relief of surviving the disaster and the vision of the future.

Under the leadership of the two new strong men Jiang Qing and Qin Xiaosui, everyone decided to embark on the journey home, returning to the prosperous and solemn imperial city.

For this significant return trip, they boarded the flying boat that had been prepared long ago.

As the flying boat slowly rose into the air, everyone looked down and saw the vast land and magnificent mountains and rivers, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism in their hearts.

The flying boat was like a palace floating above the clouds. Its structure was exquisite, and it was inlaid with night pearls all over its body, emitting a soft and mysterious light, as if it could dispel the shadows around it.

The hull was made of thousand-year-old red sandalwood as the skeleton and covered with light mica flakes, making the entire flying boat almost silent when it shuttled in the air, leaving only a faint cloud trail.

The cabin was elegantly decorated, with silk curtains swaying gently, and a round table with intricate totems carved on it placed in the center.

Beside the round table, the breeze blew on the face, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious as several people chatted.

Bai Liye gently waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "This time when I return, I will invite everyone to drink the best wine in the imperial wine cellar to celebrate our success for all of us."

Luo Shui leaned against the side of the ship, looking at the distant sky, and said leisurely: "I only hope that this peace can last longer, so that the people can recuperate."

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, a solemn sound of footsteps came from afar, and the figure of the national teacher appeared on the deck of the flying boat, and his robe embroidered with the eight-diagram pattern fluttered gently in the breeze.

The state master's eyes swept through everyone present, and finally stopped at Jiang Qing and Qin Xiaosui, with a tone of majesty that could not be ignored:

"Although the battle of luck was won, the threat of the demon race has not been eradicated. They are defeated but not chaotic, and will definitely come back.

A bigger contest between the human and demon races is about to take place."

Jiang Qing heard this, his face solemn, and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "What the state master said is very true, we dare not slack off.

Excuse me, state master, what are the specific arrangements next?"

The state master nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "The major sects need to prepare for war and be ready to meet the counterattack of the demon race at any time.

You go back to Ziyun Sect first, and when the time is right, there will be new 's mission was issued. Jiang Qing, Qin Xiaosui, and everyone in Ziyun Sect, the safety of the human race is now more than ever, and it all depends on your shoulders. "

Yaoguang frowned slightly when she heard this, and her voice was cold and firm: "We will live up to our mission and swear to protect the peace of the human world."

Luo Hua had a resolute face and clenched his fists: "If the demons dare to attack, they will never return!"

The national teacher nodded with satisfaction, turned around and wanted to leave, and left another sentence: "Okay, return to the sect quickly and recuperate. The road ahead is long and difficult.

You must be prepared. "

As the national teacher left, there was silence on the flying boat, and different thoughts surged in everyone's heart.

The sunset on the horizon was like blood, foreshadowing the end of an era and the difficult beginning of another era.

...

The flying boat slowly turned around, like a dragon passing through the blue sky and the rolling sea of ​​clouds, and began to gallop towards the direction of Ziyun Sect.

Along the way, the mountains are like dark green, and the morning light is stained with a faint golden glow.

The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the streams are gurgling, falling from the cliffs like silver chains, and merge into the green lake below, stirring up circles of delicate ripples.

The exotic flowers and plants along the way exude bursts of fragrance, which are sent into the boat with the wind, making people intoxicated.

As the flying boat goes deeper, the sea of ​​clouds gradually becomes thicker, like the turbulent waves of the ocean, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the clouds, forming a series of gorgeous light beams.

In this dreamlike scene, the gate of Ziyun Sect gradually looms in the sea of ​​clouds, like the heavenly palace descending to the earth.

It is a pair of huge stone gates, with complex spells and auspicious beast patterns carved on them. Clouds are steaming under the gates, as if the entire sect is built on the clouds, exuding an extraordinary atmosphere.

Jiang Qing stood at the front of the flying boat, staring at the Ziyun Sect getting closer and closer, with a look of expectation and a subtle sense of loss.

Bits and pieces of memories emerged one by one with the scenery in front of him. He had never expected that the time he had been away from the sect would be so long.

The flying boat gradually lowered its altitude and landed smoothly on the vast square in front of the Ziyun Sect. At that moment, Jiang Qing's heartbeat accelerated.

At this moment, he saw his senior brother Li Changsheng from afar. He was still wearing a green shirt, standing outside the Changsheng Hall with his hands behind his back. It seemed that the years had left no trace on him.

Li Changsheng had a warm smile in his eyes, quietly waiting for his junior brother to return.

At this moment, the emotions surging in Jiang Qing's heart were indescribable, a sense of belonging intertwined with the joy of reunion after a long absence.

Since his grandfather passed away, Ziyun Sect has become his sustenance and his home in the world of cultivating immortals.

The airship touched the ground lightly, the hatch slowly opened, Jiang Qing made a vigorous jump, landed steadily, and set foot on familiar land again.

Li Changsheng moved forward slowly, each step appearing calm and powerful, his eyes full of concern and joy.

"Junior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" The voice was gentle, but it could not hide the majesty of being a senior brother.

Jiang Qing took a few steps forward and bowed deeply, his eyes flashing with excitement, "Senior Brother, thank you for your concern. Everything is fine with me."

Immediately, he replied with some pride: "After years of training abroad, I have broken through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. My strength should be improved compared to when I left."

Li Changsheng heard this and nodded with satisfaction, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, "Middle Nascent Soul, yes, you really lived up to our expectations.

However, the road to spiritual practice is long, so don’t be complacent. "After speaking, he gently patted Jiang Qing's shoulder and motioned for him to follow.

The two of them walked side by side towards the Hall of Eternal Life, and Li Changsheng said as they walked: "The situation inside and outside the sect has been changing over the years, and you came back at the right time.

After paying homage to the ancestor later, I will briefly inform you of the changes over the years so that you can integrate as quickly as possible. "

Stepping into the Hall of Eternal Life, the lobby is simple and solemn, with the spiritual tablets of ancestors of all generations enshrined in the center. Incense is lingering, and there is an air of solemnity in the silence. ginger

Under the leadership of Li Changsheng, Qing devoutly walked to the memorial tablet of his ancestor and bowed deeply three times.

After the ceremony, Li Changsheng led Jiang Qing through the corridor and talked about the sect's affairs in recent years. Jiang Qing listened intently and nodded from time to time.

"The changes in Ziyun Sect are indeed unexpected. The rise of Ninth Peak is not only due to the leap in strength, but also because of your master Qing Su's effective leadership.

Although she didn't like tactics, she still resolutely took on the important task for the sake of the future of the sect.

As for those old grudges, settling them is also to make the sect more united and move forward. "

"I see, but by the way, how did the great elder's lineage collapse?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.

"The destruction of the Great Elder's lineage was actually a battle from darkness to light, full of dramatic turns." Li Changsheng chuckled, "Listen to me and tell you in detail."

"At first, the great elder's lineage relied on the power accumulated over the years to become entangled in the sect and seemed unshakable.

However, with the quiet rise of the Ninth Peak, this balance began to tilt.

This also makes them target you.

The turning point came with an unexpected discovery.

It turned out that someone in the Great Elder's lineage secretly colluded with foreign enemies in an attempt to disintegrate the Ziyun Sect from within for personal gain.

Including the assassination that the assassin hired to assassinate you was done by the same group of people.

This astonishing secret was inadvertently exposed by a young disciple. He was also squeezed by the Great Elder's lineage back then, so he simply abandoned the secret and turned to the light and found Qingsu's protection.

This disciple risked his life and presented the evidence to the senior officials of the sect.

After the news came out, the entire Ziyun Sect was shocked.

You, Master Qingsu, did not choose a direct armed confrontation. Instead, you used this opportunity to unite with other peaks to conduct a thorough investigation into the illegal activities of the Great Elder's lineage, revealing more unknown corruption and conspiracies.

In the face of conclusive evidence, the former supporters of the Great Elder's line defected one after another, and the once stable power network quickly collapsed.

Finally, after a smokeless struggle, the Great Elder and his cronies were formally sentenced.

Those who committed obvious crimes were duly punished, while ordinary disciples who were misled or forced to participate were given the opportunity to reform. "

Speaking of this, Li Changsheng was also full of sighs. He thought that the great elder had a great concern for the sect master after all, but he did not expect that the sect master directly acquiesced to Qing Su's actions.

"This change not only eliminated the cancer within the sect, but also revitalized the atmosphere of Ziyun Sect. As a result, the Ninth Peak rose to fame and became the undisputed number one peak in the sect."

"Your Master Qingsu has now become the agent of the sect master. All the names of the great elders who had taken action against you back then have been cleared up. Now you are busy dealing with large and small affairs today.

I did have some time off. "

Jiang Qing nodded. No wonder Master Qingsu didn't come to see him. It turned out to be like this.

He thought the master was being arrogant again and was secretly hiding somewhere to watch him.

But that's not what he said: "I see, Master, she is always like this, silently enduring everything, but she doesn't want us to see her hard work.

When I come back this time, I must help Master share some of the burden, even if it is just to deal with some daily chores. "

"Well, if you think so, Master will definitely be very happy." Li Changsheng nodded approvingly, "However, don't rush into it. After all, you have just finished your training, and the situation in the sect is complicated. You will slowly understand it later. Know the current situation and then make plans.”

Jiang Qing smiled and agreed, already thinking about it.

…

Qingsu exudes an otherworldly aura, as if it is the first snow that is not stained by dust, elegant and mysterious.

Her long hair is like a waterfall, without any decoration, hanging down naturally to her waist. Occasionally, it sways gently with the wind, and it looks like the Milky Way pouring down, shining with a faint silver light.

The eyebrows are long and slender, and the eyes are usually deep and calm, as if they can see through all the illusions in the world.

But under that cold appearance, there is a softness and warmth hidden that is not easy to detect.

At this moment, she was hiding in the distance, secretly watching Jiang Qing who was talking to Li Changsheng.

This is her precious apprentice, how could she not just take a look, but she is the master and has become the sect master's agent, so she still has to put up with this air.

At this moment, the two of them happened to be walking in this direction. Qing Su frowned and pinched a magic formula with her hand, which immediately turned into a pine tree.

No flaws.

"By the way, Senior Brother." Jiang Qing said apologetically, "You gave me the wooden sword before...it broke."

The wood that the wooden sword was made of was planted by senior brother Li Changsheng's master when he introduced him to the academy. It was originally meant to accompany senior brother on behalf of the master.

Unexpectedly, he was cut off by his senior brother, cut into a wooden sword and given to himself.

It is indeed a shame that it is not well preserved now.

Li Changsheng shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, your realm is getting higher and higher. Naturally, a mere wooden sword will not be able to withstand it."

"But……"

Jiang Qing wanted to say something else.

Seeing his junior brother acting like this, Li Changsheng naturally knew what he was thinking, "Let's do this. I'll cut another wooden sword for you. If you go down the mountain in the future, you can accompany you on my behalf."

Take good care of it this time. "

Li Changsheng walked to two pine trees and was about to swing his sword. Suddenly he frowned and stopped abruptly. As if he felt something, he looked at the pine trees with a strange expression.

"cough."

"Change to another one, that tree is not very good." Li Changsheng patted the tree in front of him, "Well, this one is good, so I'll choose it."

"Senior brother." Jiang Qing stopped him. "I want this one. This pine tree feels very close to me. It may be because it is destined to me."

As Jiang Qing spoke, he stretched out his hand to caress the waist of the tree. Somehow, the seemingly rough and cracked bark of the tree trunk was not irritating at all when touched.

"Hehehe..."

Li Changsheng didn't know what happened, but he grabbed Jiang Qing's hand like lightning.

I thought to myself, this is your master Qing Su!

This, can this be cut?

You even touched your master’s waist! She won't be able to find excuses to kill you later! ?

He didn't know why Qingsu turned into a tree and stood here secretly. She used to be very serious and reliable.

"Don't look at it. It's the one in front of me. I've decided for you!"

"All right."

Seeing how determined his elder brother was, Jiang Qing didn't care much anymore, but he did feel that this pine tree gave him a different feeling. ‘This pine tree must be destined for me, I must find an opportunity to cut it down. ’
