_Chapter 223: Fear of Retribution
At this point, it took Xiao Yan nearly three years to return to Qingyuan Sect from Tiandu City, although it was also because he was in a hurry, the most important thing was that the speed of the blue bat spirit beast was very fast, which made Xiao Yan shorten a lot of time.

Of course, I took a long detour on the way and returned to my hometown, but it was a dusty edge, and it also added a lot of time, and if the whole process was to let the blue bat spirit beast fly, it would probably be faster.
When he came to the vicinity of the mountain gate of the Qingyuan Sect, Xiao Yan saw some disciples who had entered the Qingyuan Sect with flying magic weapons, and some low-level disciples who were flying on foot.
After Xiao Yan's flying sword landed halfway up the mountain, he walked to the mountain gate on foot, and after coming to everyone, he still saw Wu Shaowen, who was guarding the sect.
"Senior Brother Wu, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed. Xiao Yan saluted respectfully and preached to Wu Shaowen, and he was dressed in a white robe, with a slender figure and a handsome appearance, but his demeanor was still the same.
"Hey, it turned out to be Senior Brother Xiao, you came back from the mountain training. Wu Shaowen asked in surprise.
"Hehe, yes, something happened halfway, so I came back alone, by the way, did Senior Brother Lu Chengxing and the others return?" Xiao Yan was so surprised when he saw Wu Shaowen, who seemed to know something, and suddenly smiled faintly and asked.
"They returned more than a year ago, and the news that Senior Brother Xiao is still alive didn't come back to the sect earlier?" Wu Shaowen still asked in surprise.
Xiao Yan heard Wu Shaowen's tone, and seemed to complain a little, and suddenly he didn't know if anything had happened, so he immediately asked, "Senior Brother Wu, did something happen?"
And Xiao Yan suddenly found a doubt, originally Lu Chengxing and the others went to Xianyuan Ancient Yi to complete the last training task, and they should be slower in terms of distance, but why would they return to Qingyuan Sect a year earlier than themselves.
"That's not it, it's just that you haven't come back yet, and Senior Brother Sikong, Senior Sister Yang Yun, Senior Sister Mu Qianxue, and Senior Brother Chen Dunhou often come to Shanmen to ask about your news. Wu Shaowen laughed and said.
"I see, that's really troublesome Senior Brother Wu, but Senior Brother doesn't have any way to pass on the message, so he didn't send the news back. Xiao Yan was a little grateful in his heart, so he replied.
"Well, that's okay, they must be in a hurry, you hurry up and report the news. Wu Shaowen checked Xiao Yan's identity jade plate and preached to him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wu, by the way, Senior Brother Wu, is my master back?" Xiao Yan thought of Old Man Hu Tianwei and immediately asked.
"Hehe, junior brother, don't you know, the high-level monks of the sect can enter and exit freely without going through the mountain gate, and they will not let the disciples of the mountain guard know the whereabouts of the high-level monks. Wu Shaowen explained.
"I see, the junior brother took his leave. Xiao Yan took back the identity jade card, gave a salute, and walked towards the sect.
Wu Shaowen looked at Xiao Yan's departing figure, his face was a little surprised, and he secretly said in his heart: "I didn't expect that this Xiao Yan's junior disciple of the Five Elements Spirit Root has such a fast cultivation speed, and he has even reached the third layer of the foundation building stage, and it seems that he is about to break through the middle stage of foundation building, which is really amazing."
And the six of them went down the mountain this time to practice, and their cultivation has improved to varying degrees, it seems that their disciples this year, the spiritual root qualifications are really very good, and they seem to be stronger than their own disciples. ”
Xiao Yan walked along the mountain road and slowly walked to the Qingyuan Sect, and saw a lot of disciples along the way, of course, many of them were low-level faces, and in the seven or eight years that they went down the mountain to practice, it is estimated that the sect has recruited a new batch of disciples.
Not long after leaving, Xiao Yan saw a familiar person, wearing a white robe, obviously a disciple of the foundation building period, and this person had a relationship with Xiao Yan, so Xiao Yan walked over, bowed his hand, and said: "Senior Brother Xu Qingfeng, don't come unharmed." ”
"You're... Xiao Yan... Senior Brother Xiao Yan. This Xu Qingfeng, who had an eight-character beard, found that the aura on Xiao Yan's body was much stronger than him, and immediately spoke in surprise.
"Senior Brother Xu Qingfeng, did you just break through the foundation building period?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile again.
And when Xiao Yan was in the side hall, Xu Qingfeng was the official disciple of the side hall, it can be said that all the side hall disciples were under his control, at that time, his cultivation was much higher than Xiao Yan, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yan's cultivation was higher than him now.
"Yes, Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother has just broken through the foundation building period, but I didn't expect that Senior Brother has reached the third layer of the foundation building period, which really makes Senior Brother envious and admired. Xu Qingfeng's face was a little pale, afraid that Xiao Yan would retaliate against him, so he immediately spoke more respectfully.
After all, during the assessment of the sect, because Xiao Yan was not selected by the Qingyuan Sect, he wanted to stay in the Qingyuan Sect through the miscellaneous disciples, but Xu Qingfeng asked Xiao Yan to give one hundred spirit stones as a condition, but Xiao Yan could not give one hundred spirit stones, so he didn't even have the opportunity to become a miscellaneous disciple.
Later, Xiao Yan became Hu Tianwei's registered disciple, which already made Xu Qingfeng a little worried, and then Xiao Yan made a great contribution to the sect and became Hu Tianwei's personal disciple, which made Xu Qingfeng even more restless.
But after many years, Xu Qingfeng found that it was unnecessary to worry, this Xiao Yan would not come to retaliate against him at all, and his cultivation might be far inferior to him, so this matter was forgotten.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Yan's cultivation was now two small realms higher than him, and he suddenly began to be frightened again, afraid that Xiao Yan would come to take revenge on him.
"Senior Brother Xu has won the award, and Senior Brother still has some things, so I won't discuss it in detail with Senior Brother, and when we have a chance in the future, we will talk about the old days. After Xiao Yan gave up, he left.
"Okay!" Xu Qingfeng's face twitched, his forehead was full of sweat, and he replied very reluctantly, and the two of them had nothing to talk about at all, which suddenly made Xu Qingfeng very frightened in his heart, and secretly asked if Xiao Yan wanted to take revenge.
Xiao Yan just said hello to Xu Qingfeng, and then continued to walk towards the various halls of the Qingyuan Sect, now Xiao Yan should return to the main pavilion first and report to the main pavilion.
Immediately, Xiao Yan came to the main pavilion and met the disciples of the main pavilion, and the disciples of the main office were also very surprised to see Xiao Yan return to Qingyuan Sect, especially Du Junsheng.
Xiao Yan said respectfully: "Senior brothers, junior brother Xiao Yan went down the mountain to experience and returned to the sect, and he came to submit the training task. ”
"Hey, Senior Brother Xiao Yan, you're back. When Du Junsheng saw Xiao Yan'an returning unharmed, he knew that some news was wrong, and suddenly with a hint of surprise on his face, he asked Xiao Yan.
"Yes, Senior Brother Du, I encountered some accidents during the training down the mountain, and Senior Brother was separated from Senior Brother Lu Chengxing and others, and now I have only returned to the sect. Xiao Yan still spoke very respectfully, but when he saw Du Junsheng's expression, he seemed to be very surprised like Wu Shaowen before, and he didn't know why.
"Well, before Senior Brother Lu Chengxing and others reported, saying that in order to protect Senior Brother Sikong and Senior Sister Yang Yun, the junior brother led away the one-horned ghost-faced man of the Dark Alliance, I am afraid that it is already more auspicious, and I don't know how the junior brother got out of trouble, and only now did he come back?" Du Junsheng asked in surprise.
And before Du Junsheng heard the description of Ma Xiuling and others, he thought that Xiao Yan had not returned for a long time and should have been killed, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to be so fateful that he could escape from the vicious ghost face of the dark alliance in the middle of the foundation building period, which is really amazing.
Xiao Yan heard Du Junsheng's words, and seemed to think that he was dead, how could this be possible, even if the entire unicorn ghost-faced team faced him, he might not be killed, and then said:
"This is really hard to say, before the junior brother I, Sikong Zhiyong, and Yang Yun, faced two one-horned ghost-faced people in the middle of foundation building, if the three of us directly faced the two one-horned ghost-faced people, it would definitely be difficult to win, and even our lives would not be guaranteed.
And if two one-horned ghost-faced people hit and attack one of us, then none of us can be disciples, and it is estimated that we will be killed immediately, and in desperation, the junior brother can only make this strategy and lure one of the one-horned ghost-faced people away.
Just after the junior brother lured the one-horned ghost-faced man away, he chased him for three days and three nights, and finally the junior brother was beaten into the dense forest by the ghost-faced man, and because the dense forest was very secretive, the junior brother also escaped with his life.
And the junior brother was already seriously injured at that time, so he could only treat the injury first, and after the injury healed, it had been a few months, so the junior brother could not fight with the disciples, so he could only return to the sect alone. Xiao Yan explained vividly.
After Du Junsheng and the others heard it, they also knew that it was very thrilling at that time, and Xiao Yan was able to escape his life, which is estimated to be really lucky, but Du Junsheng still has a lot of doubts, but he can't ask them one by one, after all, if he asks about it, it is probably a suspicion.
Immediately, Du Junsheng thought about it for a while, and then said: "Since Senior Brother Xiao can come back, it is a great luck, now that I have to go down the mountain to practice, Senior Brother Ben still needs to inform the high-level monks, so you can go back and rest first." ”
"Well, junior brother farewell. Xiao Yan also nodded, replied, and then left directly after giving the salute.
When everyone heard Xiao Yan's account of saving the day, they immediately started to talk about it, and Du Junsheng didn't pay attention to everyone and immediately went to the back hall.
After Du Junsheng arrived, he said respectfully to a purple-white brocade-robed monk with a square face and a high nose: "Master, Xiao Yan is really back, and he is unscathed. ”
"Oh, it seems that he still has some ability, what is going on?" Kong Runyuan nodded, touched his beard again, and continued to ask.
Du Junsheng told Xiao Yan's account as it was, and then asked: "Master, that's what Xiao Yan said, I don't know how much credibility there is." ”
