Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Chen has been in retreat for three years. In the past three years, he has been accompanied by bitter cold every day, and his cultivation has become more and more exquisite.

Now, although he doesn't dare to say that he is stronger than the old man, at least he is enough to make himself invincible.

Three years have passed, and Ye Chen's comprehension of the sword has become deeper and deeper. And the Ice Demon, a divine weapon, had already merged with him and integrated into his body.

Now he is more mature and a little less sharp than when he first came to Sword Valley, but now he is still the same as before, that is, arrogance.

The time had come, and it would not be of much benefit for him to stay on this mountain any longer. In the past three years, he has often thought about his mother. Now there are two people in the world who he can't rest assured about, one is Ling Qianxue, and the other is the sister he recognized before coming to Sword Valley.

Before, he didn't have the strength to protect them. Now that he is superb in cultivation, he is not afraid of anyone, so he naturally wants to see them soon.

After walking out of the ice cave, Ye Chen looked down at the sea of clouds tumbling below, in the past three years, except for the sunrise, this sea of clouds was the only scenery he could see.

After a long sigh, Ye Chen glanced back at the ice cave where he had been staying for three years. Then he jumped from the top of the mountain.

His cultivation is no longer what it used to be, and naturally there will be no depletion of true qi like before.

When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Ye Chen activated his true qi, making his falling speed a little slower. But even so, after he landed, he still stirred up snowflakes in the sky.

He patted the snow that had fallen on him, and then disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, he had arrived at the Lake of Meditation. I haven't seen him for three years, and Ye Chen feels a lot when he comes here again. He glanced at the lake a few times, then walked down the path towards the old man's bamboo house.

Before coming to the bamboo house, Ye Chen stopped, and then showed a weird smile.

Suddenly, he tilted his head and dodged a stone that was shooting at him behind him. Then he turned around extremely quickly and found an invisible sword aura coming towards him.

Without thinking about it, Ye Chen also knew that this was the old man's deliberate attempt to test his current cultivation. Just when the sword qi was about to hurt him, Ye Chen stomped his foot fiercely, and the powerful true qi suddenly poured out of his body, shaking away all the sword qi.

At the moment when the sword qi exploded, the figure of the old man instantly appeared in front of Ye Chen, "Hahaha, yes, it's only been three years since you kid had today's achievements, it seems that you can't pull out the ice demon by luck." ”

The old man walked to an old bamboo with a smile, took out a jar of wine from under the bamboo root as he had done last time, lifted the lid and drank it.

"How can you have good wine to yourself? Have you forgotten what I said?"

Ye Chen took advantage of the old man's inattention, stretched out his right hand and sucked it, and immediately snatched the wine jar from the old man's hand.

"Huh...... You kid are still thinking about my wine? I thought that you had become mature in your cultivation and would not fight with me for these things. ”

Ye Chen didn't reply to him when he heard this, but raised the wine jar and drank a few big sips first.

"You're embarrassed to talk about me, didn't you say you're also old, why are you still addicted to alcohol?" Ye Chen asked rhetorically, and then threw the wine jar to him.

The old man took over the wine jar and hugged it to death, for fear that one would be accidentally taken away by Ye Chen.

"By the way, where is your Ice Demon, why didn't you see you with it?" the old man glanced at Ye Chen suspiciously.

"...... here"

Hearing this, Ye Chen made a gesture of holding a sword, and the Ice Demon immediately appeared in his hand.

Seeing the crystal ice demon appear in Ye Chen's hand, the old man nodded with satisfaction. "This Ice Demon is the treasure of my Sword Valley, you have to protect him well. ”

"This ice demon is a divine weapon, how can I not cherish such a treasure, you can rest assured. It's now one with me, and no one else can snatch it even if they want to. Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Since the Ice Demon has chosen you to be its master, there must be something special about you. It is made of Beihai Ice as the main ingredient, and it can be used to burn off your sharpness and make you calmer when you are in trouble. ”

"Beihai Xuanbing, no wonder I have always felt cold after merging with me, I thought it was because I had been in the snow mountain for too long!" Ye Chen raised the ice demon when he heard this, and looked at it carefully again.

Seeing Ye Chen staring at the sword so carefully, a trace of sadness appeared in the old man's eyes. Since Ye Chen had already descended the mountain, he would definitely not continue to stay in Sword Valley. He has so much to do that he doesn't know how long he will be gone. The old man knew very well the burden on Ye Chen's shoulders, even if he knew what he was going to face, he couldn't open his mouth to stop him.

"You...... When will you get out of the valley?" the old man asked with a little sadness.

"I'll go down tomorrow, and I'm here to say goodbye to you today. Ye Chenyun replied lightly.

"So soon, don't you plan to stay longer?" said the old man, in a much calmer tone, as if he were talking to his own child.

Ye Chen put away the ice demon when he heard this, and sighed softly, "No, I still have too many things to do." There are still people who want to see but don't see it. It's been three years, and I don't know how they're doing now. ”

"Okay!" the old man nodded in disappointment, and turned and carried the jar into the room.

Ye Chen knew that the old man wanted him to stay, but he really had too many shackles and too many worries in his heart. He was grateful to the old man from the bottom of his heart, although he didn't say it, but he already regarded the old man as his own relative in his heart.

After the old man entered the house, Ye Chen did not follow in, but turned around and went to the Meditation Lake. He came to the center of the lake and tried to calm himself, but no matter what he did, his mind was always like a pot of porridge.

He stayed in the middle of the lake until the next morning, when he returned to the bamboo hut where the old man made wine.

He didn't dare to tell the old man to his face that he was leaving, that would only make both of them not in a good mood.

He came to the door and knelt down, kowtowed three times to the door, and in order not to make the old man even more sad, he had to say goodbye to him in this way.

"Master, thank you for your careful cultivation in the past three years, and I will remember it in my heart. The great revenge of the disciples has not been avenged, and there are still people I care about in the rivers and lakes. After I finish all this, I will return to Sword Valley and do my filial piety in front of your old man. ”

After saying this, Ye Chen kowtowed three more times, then got up and slowly left the bamboo house. After walking away, Ye Chen glanced back sadly, and after not seeing the figure of the old man, he disappeared into the bamboo forest in a flash.

The old man was standing behind the door, and when Ye Chen came, he wanted to go out, but he stopped when he heard the sound of Ye Chen kneeling.

After noticing Ye Chen's departure, the old man shook his head helplessly. Picked up a jar of wine and drank it gurgling.

After leaving the bamboo house, Ye Chen went straight to the valley mouth, and if he stayed in this sword valley for a moment, he would feel a little more sad.

Out of Sword Valley, Ye Chen came to the bazaar where he had come with the old man before. At the beginning, Ye Chen was brought back by the old man in a coma, and he didn't remember where he came at all, and the only thing he knew about this Sword Valley was this small market.

After finding someone to ask about the direction of Wushuang City, Ye Chen walked in the direction of Wushuang City alone. Because he was afraid of causing panic after revealing his kung fu, Ye Chen hurried like an ordinary person, only using light skills to hurry at night when no one was around.

After driving all night, Ye Chen finally arrived at Wushuang City in the early morning.

Standing on the cliff outside the Peerless City, Ye Chen saw the whole picture of the Peerless City for the first time and sighed at its prosperity.

Wushuang City is extremely grand, stretching for more than ten miles from north to south, full of houses at a glance, and the streets are neatly arranged one by one. Ye Chen could clearly see some of the workshops and the merchants selling along the streets.

"Wushuang City, I'm here. ”

After looking at the cliff for a while, Ye Chen jumped down and disappeared into the forest outside the city.

In the afternoon, Shi Ye Chencai walked out of the jungle, and followed the business travelers in and out into the city, he dressed himself up like an ordinary person, not wanting to attract the attention of others.

He knew that this Peerless City was mixed with dragons and snakes, and there were many eyeliners of the good and evil factions. His identity has not been disclosed for the time being, and he has to use this time to find out the bottom of this Peerless City.

After entering the city, Ye Chen remembered the second dog who was begging with him at the beginning. Although the second dog alienated him in the end, Ye Chen didn't blame him at all. After all, in the face of a powerful person like Zhang Chenhao, staying out of the matter was the only way to save his life.

Ye Chen followed the impression in his mind and found the street where Ergou opened a tofu shop. It's a pity that I didn't see a tofu shop all over the street. In the end, Ye Chen only got to find the street where they were begging together.

As soon as he came to the street, Ye Chen saw a beggar holding a broken bamboo pole leaning against a broken wall from a distance. The sharp-eyed Ye Chen recognized that person was Ergou at a glance.

Seeing that Ergou had now fallen to this step again, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. Considering that they had been in trouble together, in the end, Ye Chen covered his face and touched the money bag of a passing young master, came to Ergou and put half of it in his broken bowl.

After giving the money to Ergou, Ye Chen got up and left directly. He and Ergou were originally people from two worlds, although they had intersected, but they were never the same person.

Ye Chen came to the door of the Yanyu Building, glanced at the two dog-fighting guards, and went in directly.

After entering the Yanyu Building, Ye Chen was not in a hurry to find his righteous sister Qianqian. Instead, he found a remote place to sit down like an ordinary guest and observed the interior decoration of the Yanyu Building.
