The setting sun cuts through the trees, leaving dappled light and shadows on the ground.

A slight voice rang out, and a palm of one hand brushed aside the over-tall weeds, revealing a calm face.

"Squeeze what. ”

Just as another woman also showed her face, the young man who was looking at a small city in the distance had a dissatisfied tone.

This man and woman sneaked in the east of Hanging Rock Prefecture for three days and came to Ji Fan and Hua Feihua in the Jiugong Mountain Range.

"Master, this earthen city looks ancient, but it is not too big. Hua Feihua whispered to Ji Fan.

"Don't you see the city sign?"

Ji Fan gestured to the city gate, then closed the weeds and retreated.

"It's Dao Xuancheng is good, but it's too down. "Hua Feihua was somewhat unexpected, one of the nine major sects in the Western Ancient Spiritual Domain of Cangluan Prefecture back then, and now he had to use such an earth city.

"It's ok. ”

Ji Fan, who retreated to the woods, found a slightly thicker tree to cover his figure.

"Before it gets dark, do you want to go into the city?" asked Hua Feihua, puzzled.

"Although we look at the age of about twenty at the moment, are we still a little older?" Ji Fan said uncertainly.

For Ji Fan and Hua Feihua, they can be restored to the appearance and posture of children.

"Twenty?"

Hua Feihua felt that she was more like a young maid of sixteen or seventeen, not big at all.

"Forget it, anyway, no one in Dao Xuanzong will recognize me, and I will have to retreat for a long time in the future, so it doesn't matter how old I am. Ji Fan shook his head, feeling a little nervous.

Leaving Cangluan Prefecture to find his teacher in Hanging Rock Prefecture can be regarded as a new beginning for Ji Fan, which is still very important to him.

"The cultivation of the Xuan Period is still high, and the breath is adjusted to the first layer of Qi refining, the breath of the wood spirit root. Ji Fan took a deep breath and gestured to Hua Feihua.

"No one recognizes you?"

Although Hua Feihua was still uncertain about the situation of Dao Xuanzong at this time, when she heard Ji Fan's words, she also realized that it was abnormal.

In the past, not only Ji Fan, but even Hua Feihua had also done miscellaneous work for a period of time in the Great Yan Peak of the Dao Xuan Nine Veins.

In Hua Feihua's recollection, Ji Fan made a lot of noise in Daoxuanzong at the beginning.

"At first, Dao Xuanzong's migration to Hanging Rock Prefecture was quite smooth, and he settled in this Jiugong Mountain Range, which can be regarded as a strong alliance with Jiugong Sect, but this situation, after exploring the Suspended Forbidden Land with the Nine Palace Sect six years ago, has changed, Dao Xuanzong was killed and injured in the Hanging Forbidden Land, but the Nine Palace Sect retreated. Ji Fan's words were slightly emotional.

"Are there nine forbidden places in the spirit ruins? The Hanging Forbidden Land seems to be in the middle of the Hanging Rock Prefecture. "Hua Feihua has read the classics of the Nine Forbidden Lands before, so she understands something.

"The two major sects want to get out of the forbidden land, Dao Xuanzong is not to say that it was harmed by the Nine Palace Sect, it is more that it was used, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and in the face of a delicate situation, even if they know what is going on, sometimes they have to bite the bullet. Feeling Hua Feihua's inquiring gaze, Ji Fan said lightly.

"In other words, the current Dao Xuanzong is no longer equal to the Nine Palace Sect, and has completely become dependent on the protection of the Nine Palace Sect, so what happened to Ning Anyuan's predecessors?" Hua Feihua had already realized why Ji Fan was in a hurry to come to Xuanyan Prefecture.

"Shi Niang survived with a treasure, but at this time, the powerhouses in the early stage of feathering can no longer be regarded as having absolute control, especially in the face of a large sect force like the Nine Palace Sect. Ji Fan said that later, he was somewhat relieved.

"The Nine Palace Sect is east of this Xuan Mountain Range, and it shouldn't be the only big sect. Hua Feihua thought of the Blood Forest she had found near the Blood Sea.

"As far as I know, in the eastern part of Hanging Rock Prefecture, there are eight sect forces side by side, namely the Blood Feather Sect, the Nine Palace Sect, the Flying Star Cliff, the Thunder Brake Tower, the Dingchan Temple, the Huangji Sect, the Bihong Sect, and the Tiangang Sect, and this Nine Palace Sect is only one of them. Ji Fan whispered.

"This Jiugong Mountain Range is quite large, and it covers a much larger area than the Great Sect of Cangluan Prefecture, and there are many monks. Hua Feihua didn't dare to be careless.

"Hanging Rock Prefecture is more like a realm of cultivation than Cangluan Prefecture. "Ji Fan is also the first time to personally feel that a big sect like the Nine Palace Sect.

There are no less than a thousand large and small peaks in the entire Jiugong Mountain Range, not to mention the eighty-one peaks of the Nine Palaces inside, just in the direction of the outer Eight Palaces, there are forces attached to the eight directions, just like the outer gate, and Dao Xuanzong is only on one of them.

Regarding Ji Fan's so-called cultivation realm, Hua Feihua, who followed him to sneak around in Hanging Rock Prefecture for three days, also had some feelings.

There are many suspended mountains in this Hanging Rock Prefecture, just like the Hanging Mountains of Zhou Tiangong, the Jiugong Mountain Range is located on the ground, but it is relatively unique.

"Rest in the forest for one night, let's enter the city early tomorrow morning, Daoxuan Jiufeng is on the periphery of Xungong Jiufeng, under the control of Xungong, and now some of the principals of Daoxuan Jiufeng are sent by Xungong. Ji Fan said to Hua Feihua.

"In other words, in the past, the people of the Dao Xuanzong were almost all buried in the Hanging Forbidden Land?" Hua Feihua's expression was much more solemn.

"In addition to Shi Niang, there are more than ten inheritance juniors left, and the current Dao Xuan Sect is just an expansion of the Nine Palace Sect on the basis of obtaining the inheritance of the Dao Xuan Nine Veins. Ji Fan motioned for Hua Feihua to relax.

"Is Ning Anyuan's predecessor still in Dayan Peak?" Hua Feihua asked cautiously, wanting to know more about the situation.

"Shi Niang is still the first seat of Dayan Peak, but Dayan Peak has no disciples, if we can have the opportunity to worship the sect, we will enter Dayan Peak, and after it is done, I will retreat for a long time. Ji Fan didn't want to be noticed, as long as his master was in a place where he could take care of it, he could rest assured.

The golden afterglow of the sky is gradually occupied by the falling night, and the junction between dusk and night turns purple-red, and the layers of clouds are extremely beautiful.

"Whew!"

It wasn't until the last ray of sunshine turned into a dull gray that Ji Fan leaned on the big tree and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ji Fan didn't arrange it, Hua Feihua also knew what she should do, and was already planning to buy a mansion when she entered the city tomorrow.

The night is quiet, the moonlight is like water, for Ji Fan, who rests against the tree at will, Hua Feihua can feel that he should be accustomed to hugging the spring and lying on the stone, taking the sky as the bed and the ground as the bed.

"Master, do you want to use your real name?"

Hua Feihua whispered to Ji Fan to confirm, thinking of the time when he called himself Ah Da.

"Let's call it Mu Yuan, this Hanging Rock Prefecture is the same as Cangluan Prefecture, and it is not far away and untouchable, so it's better to be careful. After Ji Fan thought about it, his face changed slightly while responding.

Seeing Ji Fan's resolute and wooden face, his facial features only changed slightly, as if he was a different person, Hua Feihua couldn't help but admire his methods.

"Even in Cangluan Prefecture, there are probably not many people who know the master. "Hua Feihua didn't dare to say, would this side be better than Cangluanzhou.

The night passed slowly, and it was not until the morning sun rose the next day that Ji Fan and Hua Feihua set off in the woods and walked towards Tucheng on the official road.

Although Tucheng is not small, it is far less lively than the big city.

While walking in the city, Ji Fan and Hua Feihua heard someone talking about the war between two small countries in the eastern part of Hanging Rock Prefecture.

"The war between the Xiangyue Kingdom and the Yunlou Kingdom, it seems that the Nine Palace Sect should be more interested in the Xiangyue Kingdom. Ji Fan said with a little deep meaning to Hua Feihua.

Knowing the meaning of Ji Fan's origin, Hua Feihua nodded.

As for Ji Fan's use of Mu Yuan's name, Hua Feihua thought of his master Mu Huaisheng and his title of original sin against the sky.

In less than a morning, Hua Feihua and Ji Fan bought the title deed of a mansion in the city at the City Lord's Mansion.

"I thought that this earth city was under the control of Dao Xuanzong!"

Out of the city lord's mansion in the south of the city, Hua Feihua followed Ji Fan to the west of the city and whispered to him.

"The Nine Palace Sect is so big, some important disciples and the families of the main people in the sect still have to be arranged, and the eight acropolis on the periphery can solve a lot of problems. Ji Fan whispered.

"We have to wait another half a year until the day when the Dao Xuan Nine Peaks Grand Opening Sect will recruit disciples. "Hua Feihua inquired about a lot of things.

"I bought a mansion, but I can wait, the key is that it is difficult to recruit disciples. Ji Fan smiled bitterly in a low voice.

Hua Feihua was also a little worried, although she used the Mortal Breath Technique to hide her cultivation and set her aura at the level of the first level of Qi refining, but if it was in full view of everyone, she was not sure that she could fool everyone.

"Let's take one step at a time, I will contact Shi Niang to see what she means, today's Dao Xuanzong is no longer the previous Dao Xuanzong, and it is not impossible to leave here. Ji Fan thought that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and he didn't think about it anymore.

Outside a mansion in the west of the city, Hua Feihua put the palm-sized title deed into the groove of a pillar of deed monument outside.

"Buzz!"

As the stele descended into the ground, the mansion's hidden light array began to fade, as if it had revealed a light mask that had opened and contracted.

Another piece of land deed, Hua Feihua was kept in a storage bag, and there was no intention of urging the formation again for the time being.

Open the lock of the mansion door and enter it, and find the scene of the covered bridge courtyard in the mansion, and the flowers and fruits supporting the sparse, Ji Fan is quite satisfied.

In the Fifth Courtyard and the Seventh Courtyard of the Mansion, there are two wide underground cultivation grounds, and there are also formations for breath and shock resistance, which can be triggered as long as you put spirit stones.

Ji Fan, who turned around the mansion, arrived in the stone pavilion of the Qijin Courtyard.

"There's nothing too much to pack up, and when the sun sets, go out and walk around the city. Ji Fan wanted to hear more news.

"This earthen city is not lively, but it is not deserted, there are some monks in the city, and there are not many who are high. Hua Feihua said what she felt.

"Except for the hidden world Hao Xiu, there is no need for the strong to choose such a place, the small cultivation in the city is just to get the protection of the Nine Palace Sect. Ji Fan said that later, he didn't know what he remembered, and couldn't help but smile.

"Master, you can't be thinking about Ji Zhuo, right?"

It was precisely because Ji Fan usually had few changes in mood and face that Hua Feihua felt that his ridicule had been seen before.

"Actually, I've thought about it before, if you have the strength, it's good to get a fief or become the head of a small country. Ji Fan also made other plans.
