Yan Yuezong is located in a hidden valley at the junction of Cangzhou and Qiongzhou, surrounded by the sea on two sides and backed by mountains on one side. More than ten years ago, Yan Wugui lived in seclusion here with his wife and daughter, and he named this valley Yanyue Valley.

Yan Wugui was originally going to leave the customs next month, but when he heard that Yan Yueli had gone to the Valley of Trials, he immediately went out of the customs in advance and summoned Wang Yuanting back to the valley. Wang Yuanting came out of the Valley of Trials and traveled all the way, hurrying slowly, only then did he catch up with Yan Wugui and leave the pass.

Under the gaze of the crowd, a man over forty years old walked out of the valley of retreat. His long black hair was scattered behind his head, and his temples were gray and showed the traces of time. His slanted sword eyebrows and deep dark eyes contained a sharp light, and his slender and tall figure exuded a strong aura that was proud of the heavens and the earth.

"Welcome to the sect master."

Everyone saluted the suzerain and welcomed him back from retreat. This man is Yan Wugui, the leader and soul of Yan Yuezong.

He is the sect master of Yan Yue Sect, a cold, arrogant, lonely, and imposing figure. With his angular face and lightly pursed lips, he was domineering, like a falcon in the night. His loneliness and steadfastness seem to set him apart, exuding a powerful and aloof atmosphere.

"Yuanting, Li'er is in trouble again?" At the mention of Yan Yueli, Yan Wugui's cold face showed a worried look.

Wang Yuanting nodded lightly, and replied respectfully: "Sect Master, rest assured, it's just a small trouble, the palace master is inevitably a little naughty when he is young, you don't have to go out in advance." ”

Yan Wugui heard Wang Yuanting's words, and the worry on his face was even worse, Wang Yuanting had always asked when he would be out of the customs before, but now he persuaded himself not to worry. Wang Yuanting has always been calm, and it has never been possible to change so quickly, and there must be a hidden secret......

"Daddy......"

As soon as he heard Yan Yueli's voice, Yan Wugui was slightly stunned, and then turned to the source of the sound. He saw Yan Yueli trotting all the way, his eyes full of thoughts turned into tears rolling in his eyes, and he was suddenly distressed, and the cold expression on his face instantly softened, replaced by a fatherly smile.

Yan Wugui hurriedly strode forward to greet him, and said to Yan Yueli gently: "Li'er, what trouble have you caused again?" Just tell the truth, and Daddy will take care of you. ”

Yan Yueli stopped her tears and flew into Yan Wugui's arms, suddenly feeling very relieved. Yan Wugui stroked Yan Yueli's hair, looked at her with warm eyes, and whispered in his heart: This child is becoming more and more slim, except for the golden brown eyes, which looks exactly like her mother.

When facing Yan Yueli, Yan Wugui is always full of a fatherly smile, and although she often gets into trouble, Yan Wugui is full of love and tolerance for her. Yan Yueli is a special existence in Yan Wugui's heart, because his daughter is growing up without the company of his mother, he is willing to tolerate all his daughter's willfulness, and even give his own life.

"Li'er is very well-behaved, so she didn't get into trouble." Yan Yueli was coquettish, her little face wrinkled into a bulging bun, and she tilted her head slightly to look at Wang Yuanting on her side.

Wang Yuanting immediately understood, and smiled helplessly, he couldn't help the palace master this time, and it wasn't something that Yan Yueli could solve by being coquettish and cute.

However, Yan Yueli was able to come over in time, but it was beyond Wang Yuanting's expectations, it seems that Sect Master Yan still has a very heavy weight in her heart, otherwise she would not be willing to part with Ji Beichen. He got up and left with all the disciples in a playful way, leaving the father and daughter to talk about themselves.

Yan Wugui watched Wang Yuanting's departure, he was very relieved, he knew that Wang Yuanting was a smart and capable person, and he was most relieved to have Wang Yuanting by Yan Yueli's side.

However, Wang Yuanting has been hiding a lot from Yan Wugui recently, and he didn't report the news reported back by the secret guards in time, such as the fact that they went to the Trial Valley and didn't send anyone to report it.

Wang Yuanting is Yan Wugui's chief disciple, Yan Wugui naturally treats him much stricter, Wang Yuanting usually respects and fears Yan Wugui, although the two are masters and apprentices, but in private they are more like father and son, Yan Wugui also has the heart to let him succeed him as the next sect master, and even acquiesced to Wang Yuanting's move to cultivate henchmen in private.

"Daddy, I think you're thinking too much, you won't be allowed to retreat for so long in the future!" Yan Yueli saw that Yan Wugui did not reply, her arms were tightened tighter, and she pouted at Yan Wugui's retreat for half a year, expressing the displeasure in her heart, and at the same time taking the opportunity to divert the conversation.

Yan Wugui kissed Yan Yueli's forehead dotingly, slowly squatted in front of her and gently took her hand, and said earnestly: "Li'er, I know that you must be missing her for a long time in Daddy's retreat this time, but the Valley of Trials is a place of trials for the Cangru Sect, why did you venture there?" Daddy knows that you have your own ideas and determinations, but he also wants you to remember to protect yourself. ”

Yan Wugui said and held Yan Yueli's hand tightly, his eyes were full of fatherly love and care. At the same time, he also sincerely hoped that Yan Yueli could understand the helplessness of his retreat, if he did not retreat and practice the exercises, how could he compete with Huan Qianqiu, who had returned to Youzhou ten years later, he did all this to protect their mother and daughter.

Yan Yueli nodded obediently and agreed, still not wanting to hide Ji Beichen's affairs in her heart, but she didn't know how to explain to Yan Wugui, so she had to say tentatively: "Daddy, Li'er has grown up, and Li'er understands that Li'er just has a very important friend who is sick and needs to test the thousand-year-old demon pill of the Red Fire Demon Bead in the Valley, so he is in danger." ”

Yan Yueli said that the lower her voice became, and when she said the word "friend", she turned her face away with a weak heart, Yan Wugui watched her grow up since she was a child, where could she escape his eyes with this little thought, and it must not be easy to guess this "friend" at the moment, and it would be good to go for a while as soon as possible......

——

The valley of the soul under the sunset is particularly charming, although the summer flowers have withered, but the autumn leaves have just turned red, the autumn is the best time of the year, the small courtyard of the cold pool in the mountain behind the ghost doctor's mound is still as simple and simple as ever, there is a blue-robed man in the courtyard standing there like a stone statue.

Yan Nianxin and Lu Xinrui had already returned to the Cangxu faction, leaving Ji Beichen alone, standing in the wind and quietly looking at the mountain path, looking forward to the appearance of the red clothes.

"You're the guest of honor at the Oni Doctor's Tomb?" A deep voice came from behind Ji Beichen.

Ji Beichen turned around in surprise and saw a cold and arrogant man staring at him, this person exuded a strong murderous aura and indifference.

He didn't even notice his arrival, and his cultivation realm was even more unfathomable, and his strength should be on par with the head of the sea of ruins, could it be......

Ji Beichen didn't have time to think about it, a bloody aura swept in, and the man's cold voice sounded again, filling Ji Beichen's ears!

"When you return from this retreat, I will take everything you have, and even your spirit will be refined into my blood blade, and your life will become more meaningful."

Ji Beichen immediately raised his head, and a blood-red double-edged sword exuded a bone-shattering cold aura, stabbing at him without hesitation.

The cold began to spread all over Ji Beichen's body, making him feel that his life was about to die, and for a moment he thought that death was close at hand, and just as the blood blade was about to touch him, the Cangru Sword suddenly flew out of its sheath and crotched the sword.

The cold man immediately withdrew the blood blade and asked in a daze, "Who are you?" How could there be such an immortal weapon? ”

Ji Beichen breathed a long sigh of relief, and seeing that he had no intention of making another move, he immediately bowed down and saluted: "Junior Ji Beichen is a disciple of the Cangxu faction. ”

"You are Ji Beichen? Haha, it's been a long time since anyone has let this seat remember. The cold man said that, he laughed loudly again, his daughter was actually thinking about Ji Yijun's son, this fate is really wonderful!

"Senior Yan laughed." Ji Beichen didn't know the deep meaning, but he had to let him identify himself before he could say it later.

"Humph! If you know me, know why I have come today. "The cold man is Yan Wugui, he just came out of the customs the day before yesterday, and today he has to take a trip away from the Soul Valley alone to see who the "friend" in Yan Yueli's mouth is......

Ji Beichen took a deep breath, he knew that Yan Wugui was full of hostility towards him. However, Ji Beichen did not flinch, just smiled slightly, and a trace of firmness and determination flashed in his eyes.

Ji Beichen bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "Senior Yan, my sincerity towards Yan Yueli can be seen from the sun and the moon, I know that you are full of disdain for me, but I am not afraid of your doubts, just because I am sincere to Li'er, and there is no half-truth." ”

Ji Beichen's voice revealed a kind of calmness and firmness, he had already made up his mind when he tried the valley to face Yan Wugui with Yan Yueli, but he didn't expect him to find it in person.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect the apprentices taught by the real people of Xuhai to act so happily! Yan Wugui pursed his thin lips, his slender eyes flashed with a sharp golden brown light, and he looked at Ji Beichen with a powerful divine sense, not letting go of any part of his body.

"Huh? You're actually a double cultivator! Yan Wugui was slightly surprised, although people who practice two kinds of exercises are rare, there are also people, for example, Yan Mingxiu is a fellow practitioner of kendo and talismans, but the two opposite cultivation methods of kendo and demon dao appear in the same person, which is the only one in a hundred years.

Ji Beichen didn't nod slightly, he had already guessed the scene at this time, and he believed that Yan Wugui should be able to understand the entanglement and helplessness in his heart.

Yan Wugui knew that the person who made him practice the Demon Dao was Yan Yueli, but he didn't think that everyone could practice the Demon Dao, so he immediately advised: "Cultivating the truth is a choice, one choice after another, but you have chosen the wrong one, the Demon Dao is not suitable for you." ”

Yan Wugui is a thoughtful person, he has his own values and beliefs, and he believes that the Demon Dao is not an evil and destructive existence, but a power and realm that transcends the conventional.

He believed that everyone had their own path and mission, and he chose the Demon Path because he believed it would bring him deeper understanding and power.

And it is Yan Wugui's firmness and fearlessness that makes him a "Blood Devouring Demon Venerable" full of blood and mystery, and everyone fears!

"What does Senior Yan mean?" Ji Beichen asked puzzledly, no one had ever said this to him since he entered the Demon Dao.

The corners of Yan Wugui's mouth hooked, he rarely had the leisure to meet people today, since he came, it was better to explain it to him.

He strode forward and walked closer, looked carefully at the descendants of the Ji family in front of him again, and replied patiently: "You are a person with a strong personality who is more good at swordsmanship, a person who is resolute is often superb in immortal methods, and a person who is only himself is more likely to exert his physical cultivation ability, and a person who is at ease is more likely to practice magic skills."

There are many choices to make on the path to immortality, and your character is shaped in the choices you make, if you give up your true nature because of the words of one person, you will eventually go astray. ”
