If time passes by a white horse, it will not be returned.

This was once said by the cultivators who thought that the old monk suddenly found that his limit was approaching during a long period of retreat. Later, through the word of mouth of a group of cultivators, this phrase was used as a metaphor for the cultivation years of cultivators.

This sentence is not wrong at all, a full five years have passed, and the small lake where the sword mound exists has not changed in any way.

During this period, both the three sects of the Dao Sect and the two sects of the Demon Sect sent disciples here in order to find the traces of Ye Feng and obtain the treasure of the Sword Shrine through Ye Feng. At that time, there were cultivators flying around in the small Caoyang County all day long, which made the residents of Caoyang County come out of the limelight and have the capital to brag in front of others. It is because cultivators here have often appeared that this small lake was named Xianlin Lake by the residents of Caoyang County. And the name of Caoyang County was almost changed to Xianlin County.

However, after five years of nothing, many immortal cultivators gradually lost interest in this place, and they no longer came, which made the residents of Caoyang County lose a period of time. As for the renaming of Caoyang County, it is naturally gradually gone. However, the name Xianlin Lake has been retained, which can be regarded as a little commemoration of the people of Caoyang County in the past.

One day, five years later, night gradually fell, and the heavens and the earth were clothed in a black garment like a thin veil. Then, little by little, the moon emerged from the clouds, and the whole land shone silvery.

At this moment, the residents of Caoyang County have already returned home, and the lights of thousands of homes have been lit up. In contrast, it seems that this side of Xianlin Lake is quite quiet, and there is no smoke and fire at all.

Fireflies flew up and flew over the surface of the lake, like stars hanging in the sky. The scenery is quite beautiful.

Suddenly, the surface of the lake fluctuated, and the water separated on its own to reveal a passage for two people.

The many fireflies that had been disturbed by this change scattered in a hurry, leaving only the passage for two people to pass through in its place.

Little by little, the moon disappeared into the clouds, and the light emitted by it became as if it was separated by a black veil, which made the visibility of the place much lower at once.

At this time, a figure finally appeared in the passage in the lake. First, a dark shadow stepped out of the passage. Then, another dark shadow that looked a little convex and backward came out of the passage. After the two men came out, the passage was also closed and refilled with the lake.

The black shadow who was the first to come out walked to the edge of the lake, raised a pair of eyes and looked at the sparkling lake, not knowing what to think.

The other black shadow, which was obviously a woman, followed the first black shadow, and also came to the lake, standing behind the first black shadow, with a slight bow in his head, and did not say a word, like a servant.

At this time, the bright moon in the sky finally broke free from the dark clouds and sprinkled the silver-white light on the earth again. And the fireflies around Xianlin Lake also cautiously returned to the surface of the lake after seeing that there was no danger, and flew there.

For a while, the entire Xianlin Lake brightened up again, and with the help of these lights, people could already identify the identities of the two black shadows.

Looking at the fireflies flying on the lake, the first black shadow was a little distracted, raised his head slightly, and looked at the fireflies flying above the lake, his face was calm and his eyes were gentle. As he looked up, the light on the surface of the lake also shone through, revealing a pale-complexed, middle-to-middle-faced young face. The young man had a purple-gold pupil in one of his eyes, which was somewhat reflective under the light, and looked quite strange. This young man is naturally Ye Feng.

Previously, because of his decision to change the practice of Yin Yang Sword Dao, his cultivation temporarily dropped to the infancy stage of the Seven Refining Yuan. In order to improve his cultivation again, Ye Feng spent five years of penance! However, these five years of penance had also made Ye Feng completely familiar with the operation of the Nine Refining Yuan Infant Stage spiritual power and some Yuan Infant Stage Divine Powers that he had not had time to practice in the past.

The most important of these is that in five years, Night Blade has successfully learned and can perform the two moves of the Earth Sword and the Sky Fire Fist. However, although these two moves are powerful, the spiritual power consumed is not covered. Just by urging the Earth Killing Sword, Ye Feng almost consumed nearly one-tenth of his spiritual power!

And if you only use spiritual power to urge the Heavenly Fire Fist, although the power is a little less, the spiritual power consumed is weakened to the level of nearly one-twentieth of the spiritual power. However, if Ye Feng used the Nine Shadows Ice Flame to urge the Heavenly Fire Fist, the power of the Heavenly Fire Fist could be said to be stronger than the Earth Killing Sword, but the spiritual power consumed was also similar to that of the Earth Killing Sword!

Therefore, after mastering these two moves, Night Feng regarded them as a killer weapon and would not use them easily.

"Master?" At this time, the female black shadow who had been standing behind Yefeng saw that Yefeng was slow to move, and couldn't help but ask with some confusion. This female black shadow was the woman of the Beast King Sect who was trapped in the sword mound that day. I don't know what happened in the sword mound in the past five years. Listening to the woman's tone at this moment, it seems that she has become a master-servant relationship with Ye Feng.

Yefeng didn't speak, still staring at the fireflies flying on the lake, not knowing what to think.

"Master?"

The woman had no choice but to speak again.

"Ah, sorry, I was thinking about something else. Night Feng finally came back to his senses, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the tenderness in his eyes was gone, and all that was left was the calm of stagnant water.

Turning to look at the woman of the Beast King Sect, Ye Feng rubbed his nose and said, "Meng Daoyou, do you have something to say to Ye Mou?"

Five years later, Ye Feng had already known about this woman's life. It's called Meng Yao.

Meng Yao hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "The master saw the dying slave family in the sword shrine back then, and he did not take advantage of the danger of others, but rescued the slave family, and even gave the precious elixir and the corpse of the Lan Yunhu. It stands to reason that the slave family is repaying death with death, but after leaving the sword mound, the slave family still wants to return to the Beastmaster Sect. After all, for the slave family, that is the slave family's home. Although the slave family knew that this request was excessive, they still hoped that the master would allow the slave family to return to the Beast King Sect. He will repay his master. ”

Ye Feng paused for a moment, glanced at Meng Yao, who was a little flustered, then rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "I saved you just because of a whim at the beginning, but I never said that I wanted you to repay me, and you have always forcibly called me the master." When have I restricted your freedom, and if you want to return to the Beastmaster Sect, you can leave at any time. ”

Hearing Ye Feng say this, Meng Yao blinked, a little incredulous. After a while, she asked with some hesitation: "Isn't the master afraid that the slave family will reveal the master's secret after returning to the Beast King Sect?"

"Will you?" Ye Feng asked rhetorically, and then continued in Meng Yao's momentary speech: "Since I said that you can leave at any time, it means that I am not afraid that you will do such a thing. ”

"But......" Meng Yao hesitated, looking at Yefeng still a little uneasy.

"Just letting you go will make you feel uneasy. In this case, I hope that after you return to the Beastmaster Sect, you can muddy the waters of the Beastmaster Sect and let the Beastmaster Sect temporarily take its eyes off me. Looking at Meng Yao's appearance, Ye Feng sighed and said suddenly.

"Yes. Meng Yao will definitely complete the task given to Meng Yao by her master!" Hearing Ye Feng's words, Meng Yao finally believed that Ye Feng had not lied to her. For a moment, she assured with some excitement.

"Okay, in that case, you should return to the Beastmaster Sect as soon as possible. Only if you muddy the waters of the Beast King Sect earlier, the pressure on my body can be reduced earlier. Yefeng said. After saying that, he flew into the sky with his sword and left here directly.

After Ye Feng, Meng Yao also took out a Jinpa from his arms, urging the spiritual power to let the Jinpa carry him in the direction of the Beast King Sect.

What Ye Feng didn't expect, he said it casually, and he didn't have any expectations in his heart. And Meng Yao really obeyed his wishes and used various means to really take the Beast King Sect's eyes away from Ye Feng! Of course, all of this is a later story, so I won't go into too much detail here.
