Chapter 22: The Secrets of the Past

Three distinguished guests are leaving.

After watching the outer door assessment that Chen Jian participated in and resolving the misunderstanding with him, they looked at today's inner door assessment, which made them lose interest.

Faced with this situation, Yang Kaitian naturally wanted to keep it, after all, the core of the sect was actually today, but the middle-aged man who was called Uncle Zhou, that kind of indifferent expression, made him difficult to approach.

In the end, I had to give up.

When Jian Chen appeared unharmed at the award ceremony of the outer sect assessment, the news in the sect that he had taken away the two guests of Guangling County yesterday had already fermented among the disciples, forming all kinds of rumors.

However, among these disciples, there are also a small number of people who want to understand the actual situation of the matter, probably watching the two of them return to the back mountain with Chen Jian, but finally leave alone, and some people feel that Chen Jian and them are just a meeting in Pingshui, and these news are obviously more acceptable to the latter.

After Yan Hou woke up on the towering ancient tree, Jian Chen was nowhere to be found.

He cultivated for a while, and felt that his mood was difficult to calm down, and he didn't think of what reward he was going to receive for the outer gate assessment at the first time, but remembered that today was an important day, and dived into the depths of the back mountain.

Gradually, with a black shadow, rising and falling among the trees, more and more low-level demon beasts appeared around, and the surrounding trees gradually became taller and taller, until they crossed a river with a faint green riverbed, and Yan Hou landed in a flat clearing.

The bones of Yanhou's mother are buried in this place.

After his mother's body was buried here, a towering tree was born the next year, and when something happened to him, he thought of sitting under the tree for a while, and the distracting thoughts in his heart would be swept away.

The exact situation goes back 12 years.

At that time, when the Qingyang Sect was still the head of the sect, and the Great Elder and the Second Elder were each deputies, it was also the time when the Qingyang Sect was at its most vigorous.

Because in addition to the three powerful leaders of the sect, there is also a pair of rising stars who have risen in the Qingyang Sect, and they are known as the geniuses of the Qingyang Sect that are rare in a hundred years.

At the age of thirty, he has successfully stepped into the Qingxuan Realm, and there is great hope that before the age of fifty, he will step into the void and succeed in becoming the king before the age of 100.

Rao is Chen Changqing, Du Kang, who were also talented disciples, and now they have passed the hundred-year-old mark, but they have just stepped into the realm of virtual transformation, and even in the vast Guangling County, those who have become kings in a hundred years have been less than 100 people since the thousand-year history recorded by the Zhao Dynasty, which shows how much reputation this talent can bring to the Qingyang Sect.

These qualifications are admirable among their peers, they are Yan Hou's father Yan Sanjia and mother Hou Xinyue.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon an assassination storm that shocked the Zhao dynasty spread to this place, and the assassin was the owner of the Shadow Power.

The assassin who dared to infiltrate the Zhao dynasty alone and assassinate the emperor was naturally undoubted, even if the assassination ended in failure.

In the imperial city, thousands of strong people did not keep him, and let him flee to the border of Guangling County, which is also where the Qingyang Sect is located.

At that time, Yang Kaitian, the sect leader of the Qingyang Sect, was ordered to cooperate with the Guangling County Guards to capture the assassins, but due to his greed for merit and underestimating the strength of the enemy, he was seriously injured by the assassins, damaging the foundation, causing the realm to fall into the Qingxuan Realm.

Overnight, the Qingyang Sect fell from the clouds like the sun to the abyss, and the bad news was frequent, first the sect master was injured, and then the core disciples of the sect were killed one after another, Chen Changqing, Du Kang, Yan Sanjia, Hou Xinyue and others strayed into the phantom array laid by the assassins when they went out to pursue.

At that time, although the other party was already at the end of the crossbow, no one expected that he was still a Taoist master, and after everyone was trapped in the phantom array, fortunately, the great elder Chen Changqing found the enemy's true body in time and gave the other party a fatal blow, which saved everyone's lives.

But this phantom array took Hou Xinyue's life, and Qingyang Sect's statement to the outside world was just that he was trapped in the phantom array and was killed by mistake.

But what the specific actual situation is, not many people know, only know that since that accident, the second elder Du Kang has successfully broken through the realm, advanced to the void, and has become the face of the Qingyang Sect that is on a par with Chen Changqing.

And the sect master Yang Kaitian is realm has fallen, and it is difficult to cultivate an inch, Yan Sanjia also drank heavily all day after that action, and his state of mind has been slowly progressing and gradually losing the limelight, but he didn't say a word about what happened that day.

As their son, Yanhou suffered this blow at a young age, and naturally it was difficult for nothing to happen, so he developed the habit of drinking since he was a child, and he was no longer close to the disciples in the sect.

Until he met Jian Chen.

A young boy who succeeds in beating him over drinking.

Since Yan Hou cultivated the Shadow Breaker, not only has he accelerated his attack speed when fighting against people, but the elusive surprise attack is definitely a means of causing headaches for the enemy, and he has also reached the point of silence in his daily actions.

When he landed in the open space of the woods, he followed the skillful route to the familiar place, but when he got closer, he found that there was already a figure under the great tree.

If you look closely, it is the top three.

He leaned over and leaned under the tree, looking as if he had just woken up from the afterglow of a hangover, his whole face seemed to be full of sorrow, and his mouth was still chanting.

"Yue, do you know, our son is also a genius, I can't even practice the Shadow Break, it only took him three months to cultivate it to the fullest."

"You shouldn't know what Shadow Breaking is, it's a levelless attribute martial art, and only those who have comprehended the power of Shadow can succeed in cultivating.

Since the Great Elder brought it back from the Shadow Ruins, it has been three years, and countless disciples of the Qingyang Sect have tried it, and only the monkey has refined it. ”

What is Daddy doing? Yan Hou paused, and was about to step forward.

But the next words of the third class made it difficult for him to lift his feet again.

"Back then, if it weren't for the fact that there were still monkeys, I would have fought hard with Du Kang, if it wasn't for the Great Elder telling me the truth, I wouldn't have known that Du Kang had always held a grudge against you for rejecting his affection back then, and he actually did that kind of thing to you in the change of formation."

Probably the memories of the past evoked endless sadness, and on Yan Sanjia's cheeks, two lines of tears flowed alive, followed by a long sigh.

"It's impossible for Du Kang to let the monkey and Xiaojian grow like this, and the Great Elder has not heard from him in recent years.

In recent days, looking at the way he looks, he should be about to make a move, I haven't been able to touch the barrier, and the next thing I should do is to take the two of them out of here.

In other words, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see you for a long time, bear with me, one day, I said that Sanjia will come back and settle the blood debt with him......"

After that, Yan Sanjia stroked the trunk of the tree a few times, got up and put the old wine gourd in his hand on the root of the tree, got up and faced the trunk, and stood quietly for an unknown amount of time before turning to leave.

But at this time, Yan Hou, who had hidden behind him and heard his entire conversation because of a coincidence, had long since disappeared.
