In the barren mountains and wilderness, a dilapidated small thatched hut looms in the mountains and forests, surrounded by weeds, but there is only a clean path leading to it, as if someone deliberately left it for the returnees.

However, at this moment, an old and rickety figure was sitting on the threshold under the eaves, glancing in the direction where the path was leading, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes were inexplicably sad, but he looked at another place.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the wild forest behind the hut, extremely fast, elusive, silent, and flashed.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow quickly jumped out and fell to the broken wooden window by the thatched hut wall, silently imperceptible.

The soul power in Qi Yupeng's body gushed out like a spring, gathered on the palm of his hand, and leaned towards his pocket, a letter was taken out by him, thrown lightly, wrapped in soul power and flew out, floating down to the dilapidated wooden table next to the stove, without making a sound.

"Whew~"

Immediately after, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the old man and found that she did not realize her existence, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quietly turned around, and prepared to leave.

"Boy, are you here to deliver a letter to my son?" At this time, the old man suddenly spoke, but she still sat quietly and looked into the distance, without turning her head to look at Qi Yupeng.

"Good boy, how dare you lie to me? Say that your mother is an ordinary person!" Qi Yupeng found out that the matter was revealed, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, turned around and looked in the direction of the old man again, with a shocked face, and saluted with his fists:

"Yes, eldest lady, I am here to deliver a letter to Brother Xiaohe! He is leaving this place today, so it is inconvenient for him to come forward!"

"Hey~ I know!" the old man couldn't help but sigh and didn't speak again.

"Auntie, do you know this?" Qi Yupeng looked at the back with a shocked face, in awe, and said in awe.

"Hey~ What if you know? I don't know what? There are some things, after all, I still can't keep them!" At this time, the old man suddenly shook his head and sighed.

After finishing speaking, the old man threw it casually, and a worn-out bag containing objects was thrown out, and Qi Yupeng reached out to catch it.

"This~ aunt, what is this?" Qi Yupeng asked in surprise.

"It's just a seventh-order Earth Demon Beast soul core that I've refined! take it! it must help you upgrade to some level strength!" the old man said lightly.

"What? Refined seventh-order soul beast soul core!"

Qi Yupeng was extremely shocked, his hands trembled a little, the seventh-order earth demonic beast was a powerhouse comparable to the level of a human sword immortal, but it was impossible to find it, the soul power contained in it was many times stronger than the companion soul source of the sixth-order thunder angry lion that he had stolen, at least it would be no problem to help himself break through the third or fourth level!

"I don't know what the eldest lady commands, the kid must do his best!" Qi Yupeng understood, so he put away the soul core and said respectfully.

"Hmm~"

"In the past two years, I hope that you will protect my son with all your might, and that there will be creation for you in the future!

The old man nodded lightly and turned his head to glance at him, which made his heart tremble, and he felt trapped in the bondage of endless fear, unable to extricate himself!

"Yes~Yes! I will do my best to protect Brother Xiaohe!" Qi Yupeng suddenly came back to his senses and nodded.

"Also, don't divulge anything about me to him!

"Yes, the kid knows!" Qi Yupeng was also stunned and nodded again.

"Hmm~ you go!" the old man didn't look at him, and said lightly with a little sadness in his tone.

"Well, the boy is gone!"

Qi Yupeng nodded, then turned around, jumped forward, turned into a black shadow and swept into the woods, speeding towards Xiao He's direction.

"Why did Brother Qi go for so long?"

"Shouldn't it have happened to be seen by my mother?

"If the matter is revealed, my mother will definitely be more worried!"

"No, I'd better go and see for myself!

......

Xiao He waited anxiously, and saw that Qi Yupeng had not returned for a long time, walking back and forth in place, worried.

In the end, he had no choice but to take a step and go along the trail, wanting to find out.

"Huh~"

At this moment, a series of sparse sounds came from the trees in front of him, and a figure flashed and jumped in the shadows of the trees, quickly running in his direction.

"Whew~"

After a while, Qi Yupeng landed in front of him, slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, regained his calm color, and said:

"Brother Xiaohe, it's okay! Let's go?"

"Brother Qi, why have you been there for so long, haven't you been discovered by my mother?" Xiao He looked shocked and very surprised, and asked directly.

"No~ Auntie didn't find me, it's just that on the way back, I suddenly felt unwell, so it was convenient to go, which delayed some hours!" Qi Yupeng shook his head, pretending to be embarrassed, and said.

"Oh~ I see! No wonder~ I thought you had been discovered, and I wanted to help you exonerate!" Xiao He was thoughtful, with some doubts on his face.

"Haha~ Didn't you say that your mother is just an ordinary person?, could it be that with my skills as a strong sword king, I will still be detected by an ordinary person?" Qi Yupeng smiled, then pretended to be unhappy and asked.

"No~No~ Brother Qi, I didn't mean that!" Xiao He hurriedly shook his head, and the doubts in his heart seemed to be less.

"Let's go! Aren't you in a hurry to cultivate? Let's go! In the past two years, I will work with you to try my best to help you improve your strength!" Qi Yupeng didn't care, gently pushed him, and took the lead in turning around.

"Really? Brother Qi, isn't this good? Delaying you?" Xiao He listened, his spirit was shocked, and he was even a little excited, and hurriedly followed.

At this time, Qi Yupeng suddenly stopped, turned to look at him, patted him on the shoulder, and nodded:

When I was very young, my parents were mutilated by wicked people, and I was forcibly taken away, but it was my uncle who gave his life to save me, so that I can live to this day. Although he was driven away afterwards and resentful, he was also chased and killed, and his heart was relieved, now I regard him as my biological father, and you are his only disciple, you are my brother! Naturally, I have the obligation to help you! This is also my uncle's entrustment to me before leaving, let me take you with me! Become stronger together!"

"Master, his old man's entrustment......" Xiao He was silent, and his heart was extremely warm.

Qi Yupeng smiled, then stretched out his fist and nodded at him.

"Hmm~ Then in the next two years, I will ask Brother Qi for more advice!" Xiao He nodded knowingly, grinned at him, and clashed fists with him.

"Well, let's go! In the past two years, I will take you to an excellent place for cultivation and try my best to improve your strength! After two years, I believe you will definitely achieve something!" Qi Yupeng nodded lightly and returned.

With that, he turned around again and walked into the dense forest first.

Xiao He suddenly hesitated, turned his head to look at the thatched hut looming in the forest where the path leads, and couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, and said:

"Mother, the child is not filial!

"In two years' time, I will come back to see you with my daughter-in-law, and by that time, you will be very happy!

"The child is not filial, please forgive me!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao He knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times in the direction of the hut, wiped his tears and got up, ran and followed, and melted into the dense forest.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them took the purple sword again, soared into the air, and turned into a purple light and fled into the sky.

"Whew~"

Xiao He felt the extreme speed of flying, as if all the pain and hardship were left far behind at that moment, extremely excited and excited, and even a little expectant, asked:

"Brother Qi, where are we going next?"

"The land of red practice, the place where your master once been!" Qi Yupeng pondered for a while and returned.

"Where is this?" asked Xiao He in surprise.

Qi Yupeng turned his face sideways and said:

"The northernmost foot of our Nanzhou, where it intersects with the Soul Beast Realm! This is a place where volcanoes are frequent, giving birth to large and small heaven and earth spiritual springs, suitable for body forging, and very suitable for your next cultivation! More importantly, after a year, the land of red practice will usher in a once-in-a-century tidal tide, and after the tide recedes, the red practice spirit spring will stay for a while! At that time, you can try it!"

"Of course, the Red Lian Lingquan only has a significant improvement effect on people at the level of the sword commander, if the level is too low, there will be a danger to life, and if the level is too high, it will have no effect! Therefore, the appearance of the Red Lian Spirit Spring this time is a once-in-a-century encounter, and it will be a must for the strong people of the sword level on the mainland!"

"Ah~ Isn't that a lot of competitors?"

Xiao He was stunned when he heard this, and was stunned for a moment.

"That's nature! There are countless powerhouses on the continent!" Qi Yupeng smiled and returned.

"Okay! At that time, the powerhouses of the major sects will intervene to stop them and let their own children go, then won't I have no hope?" Xiao He's hope was instantly extinguished, and he couldn't hang his head.

"Haha~ Don't worry!"

Who knew that Qi Yupeng smiled and continued:

"The major sword sects have naturally expected it, so they have negotiated with each other to hold a martial arts competition when the tide is falling, and only those who win the top ten can be qualified to enter!

"I see! Will you break through to the level of a sword commander within a year? It seems that the difficulty is really not small! But it is better than no hope!" Suddenly, Xiao He's spirit was shocked, and he finally regained a trace of confidence and hope.

"Okay, hold on, I'm going to speed up!" At this time, Qi Yupeng suddenly reminded.

"Good~Good"

"Ah~ It's too fast! Brother Qi, slow down! I'm going to fall!"

"Haha!

......

The two of them suddenly increased their speed, and the purple light flashed, and they disappeared into the sky in an instant.

"He'er, are you still leaving?"

In the silent thatched house, the old man looked at the sky and seemed to see the purple light that had dissipated away, and turned around silently and returned to the house.

Looking at the letter lying on the table, the old man opened it, carefully read the familiar handwriting, and seemed to see Xiaohe's figure appear in front of him, and suddenly burst into tears.

"He'er, it seems that you still followed your father's old path after all!hey~"

The old man folded the letter in half, took it back, threw it into the stove, and a green fire ignited itself, incinerating it to ashes.

"Tsk~"

Suddenly, a crisp soul-piercing voice sounded, and a green sword flew automatically, levitating beside her.

"Qingluan, do you also support me in doing this?"

The old man was also shocked, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and countless memories instantly came to her heart, making her unable to stop crying and inexplicably sad.

"Ding~"

Qingjian trembled slightly, as if nodding in agreement.

"Hey, I got it!"

The old man shook his head helplessly, turned around silently, pushed open a cellar, and walked down slowly.

Under the cellar, there is a quaint box, open it, a green core lies quietly in it, the soul power is overflowing, penetrating the heart, incomparably majestic, majestic......
