Qingfeng City is located in the south of the continent, it is a small city, covering an area of thousands of acres, with a permanent population of only 10,000, of which 9,000 are just ordinary people, and the rest are cultivators, but ordinary cultivators do not appear in front of mortals, hiding in the crowd activities, unless they are also cultivators, ordinary people cannot see the disguised cultivators.

Although the place of Qingfeng City is small, but here is surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is a large river passing by, there are many fishing boats docked on the riverbank, some fishermen are drying their nets, and the big fish are hanging upside down on the shelves, and behind the city, there are mountain peaks rising from the ground, the mountain road is rugged, it is not easy for mortals to climb up, and there are many wild beasts on the mountain, unless there are hunters who make a living by hunting, ordinary people cannot go up. Looking up from the ground, the peak is full of clouds and mist, the white clouds are blowing, it looks dreamlike, occasionally a few birds fly out of the peak, and there are some farmers around the city who are farming, each sweating like rain, but the face is full of happy smiles, and a heroic song comes out of their mouths, which makes people feel comfortable when they listen to it.

There is a luxurious courtyard in the middle of Qingfeng City, covering an area of several hundred acres, surrounded by a one-zhang high city wall, there is also a gate cast in fine copper in the middle, there is a plaque with a gold edge and blue background above the gate, and the plaque is written in large gold characters Qian Zhuang. When ordinary people passed by, they were full of fear and did not dare to approach, so they took a detour.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be an ordinary big family, but in the cultivation world, the Qian family is still quite famous, belongs to a first-class cultivation family, and the overall strength can be regarded as middle and upper, and belongs to the existence that the big sect looks down on, and the small sect cannot provoke.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Qian family, a young man in a cyan robe ran inside in a panic, a faint light emanated from his feet, and the speed was extremely fast, and it only took three breaths to reach the distance of two hundred meters.

The young man quickly came to a side courtyard and stopped, although his expression was panicked, he still respectfully shouted, "Patriarch, the disciple has something to report." The voice was transmitted far away by the true element.

Immediately, a voice came from inside, saying, "Come in." ”

The young man gently pushed the door in, this is a small courtyard, from the outside it looks like just an ordinary courtyard, you can push the door to enter and you will find that there is another world inside, it is a large small bamboo forest, each bamboo arm is thick, crystal clear, as if carved from gemstones, the bamboo leaves are emitting a faint green light, the bamboo leaves are clear lines, and even the veins inside can be seen, this is a green bamboo forest.

Cuizhu is not rare in the cultivation world, it is only for ornamentation, and its role is not large, only some small sects or families are idle and bored to plant some as decoration.

There was a road under the young man's feet, which led directly to the depths of the green bamboo forest, and he did not dare to delay, so he walked in quickly, and after entering a few hundred meters, a clearing appeared.

The open space is not big, only 100 square meters, a thin layer of mist is scattered around, it is a rich aura, there is a bamboo house on the left side of the clearing, all are made of green bamboo, there is a small small pool on the right side of the bamboo house, the bottom of the pool is pebbles of various colors, goldfish swim around in the pool, there is a jade table on the side of the pool, there is a set of tea sets on it, the tea set is made of white stone, like jade and not jade, it looks crystal clear, you can clearly see the tea inside gently shaken. At the table sat a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a white robe, with a bachelor's scarf on his body, a blue belt tied around his waist, a white jade folding fan in his hand and a white jade pearl hanging underneath, reflecting the sunlight and emitting a soft light. He is Qian Bainian, the current patriarch of the Qian family, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of out-of-body development, and he will reach his peak in the near future.

Don't look at his gentle and elegant appearance now, in the hearts of everyone in the Qian family, he is a person who is more terrifying than a demon, even in the cultivation realm, he is also known as Hades, which means that once he is chosen, he will only die.

Qian Bainian looked at the goldfish in the pool, tasted the tea in the teacup, looked like he was enjoying it, and only asked the visitor, "What's the matter?"

The young man looked at the gentle and elegant Qian Bainian in front of him, as a member of the Qian family, he naturally knew how terrible this patriarch was, and when he thought of what he was going to report next, he trembled a little, and said with a little stutter, "Clan... Patriarch, Patriarch ......"

Qian Bainian frowned, opened his eyes and looked at the young man, and in an instant, the young man only felt a chill rushing to his head from the soles of his feet, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down.

Looking at the trembling young man in front of him, Qian Bainian frowned slightly, and said a little unhappily, "What are you afraid of?" This was said as tactfully as possible, and the pressure released was also taken back.

The young man was relieved, but the clothes on his body were already wet with sweat, he glanced at Qian Bainian, who frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Patriarch Qiyu, the second master is back." ”

Qian Bainian asked with a little surprise: "Hmm, why did you come back so soon? Isn't there still more than a year left?"

The young man forcibly suppressed his uneasiness and said, "No... No, it's ......" The next words were blocked in my throat, and I couldn't say anything.

Qian Bainian's brows furrowed again, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart, looking at the young man in front of him who refused to speak, he shouted, "Hurry up and say something, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”

The young man's legs weakened, and he hurriedly said, "The second master used the Yuan Infant to teleport back, and now he is very weak, and it seems that he can't hold on for long." ”

Qian Bainian's eyelids jumped, his pupils contracted, and he didn't talk nonsense, the huge Yuan Shen instantly covered the Qian family's manor, and then disappeared directly, and appeared in a gorgeous room in the next second.

There is a formation in the middle of the room, a burst of streamers flickering, it seems that it has just been started, above the formation, a Yuan Infant is quietly floating in the middle, this Yuan Infant is the one who escaped from the hands of the ape spirit, but at this moment that person seems to be very weak, the whole Yuan Infant is sluggish, and constantly changing between the virtual and the real, it looks like it is about to dissipate.

Qian Bainian saw the Yuan Baby, and quickly raised his hand to shoot out a white light to protect it, the originally illusory Yuan Ying slowly stabilized, and the original painful expression also relaxed, and after a while, the tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

Qian Bainian's face was very gloomy, and he came to Yuan Ying and asked, "Second brother, what's going on?"

That Yuan Ying saw that Qian Bainian did not answer the question, but cried bitterly, his voice was shriek, and it seemed that although he was in pain, not a single tear came out.

Qian Bainian raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Don't cry for me, tell me what's going on, why did you become like this? and what happened to Qian Bao?"

Now he is most worried about his son, as for the second brother in front of him, it is not so important, saving him is just to inquire about information.

Yuan Ying saw Qian Bainian's appearance and knew that the other party was indifferent to him at all, his heart was desolate, and a resentment grew from his heart, but he still replied in his mouth, "Big brother, you have to avenge Qian Bao, this time we met a lot of demon clans in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, at least five, I and Qian Bao unfortunately met, although I killed four, but I also died because of it, only Yuan Ying escaped." ”

Qian Bainian was taken aback and asked, "At least five demon clans, why did so many demon clans suddenly appear, could it be a demon king? Otherwise, with your strength, you shouldn't be so embarrassed at all." ”

Yuan Ying sighed and said, "It shouldn't be the Demon King, otherwise I won't be able to escape, those demon clans that I killed have a pregnancy pill stage cultivation, and the demon clan that killed me is at most in the middle stage of forging bones, but it can hide the breath, which made me think it was the same as the previous ones at first, so I didn't care too much, and just when I was about to resist, two monkeys appeared to attack Qian Bao, and I didn't even think about it and went over to protect, although I successfully killed the two demon beasts, but I was also attacked by the demon monkey in the forging bone period, and it became what it is now." ”

Qian Bainian's face was very gloomy, the demon clan had been hidden for many years, this time because of the reward of Xuanjizi, many cultivators went forward, and some of them were hidden among them, so he concluded that the demon clan did not dare to come out, so he was relieved to let his son go out to practice, and the one who served as the guard only sent his younger brother, but he didn't expect the demon clan to dare to appear in this situation, which he didn't expect.

He began to bow his head and ponder, he had been cultivating for hundreds of years, he had long passed the age of impulsiveness, even if it was his beloved son who died, he would not be carried away by anger.

After a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at his own brother, leaving a sentence, "You are here to recuperate quietly, and the details will be discussed later." After speaking, he disappeared, and after he disappeared, Yuan Ying looked at the place where Qian Bainian stood with a resentful face.

He didn't expect that his eldest brother didn't care about his life and death anyway, he didn't say a word of concern for himself from beginning to end, and in the end, he didn't leave anything to let himself recuperate, and this indifference also made his heart cold.

He couldn't help but think of the ape spirit that killed him, although the other party was a demon, but when he saw other demon beasts being killed, he would not hesitate to risk his life to come to the rescue, and even if he was killed by himself, he didn't hesitate at all, but now his own eldest brother didn't care about his life and death, which made him suddenly feel that people were not even as good as a demon.

Shaking his head and throwing these things out of his head, the white light that Qian Bainian shot out just now has not dissipated, still wrapping him in the middle, with this white light moisturizing, Yuan Ying began to slowly recover, but he knew in his heart that even if Yuan Ying was saved, his next life would be completely finished, unless Qian Bainian consumed precious materials to help her reshape her body, but looking at Qian Bainian's reaction just now, he knew that it was almost impossible, which made the originally calm mood ripple again, so that he could never calm down and cultivate.
