The Yuanzhong Mountains have a winding terrain, east-west direction, and many peaks, but the resources are barren and the aura is scarce. As soon as Zhang Yuanhao approached his main peak, Jiuzhong Mountain, in mid-air, he felt the sluggish content of the aura in it.

"How can this be, it doesn't make sense, let's not say that it is not comparable to those places full of Zhong Lingyuxiu's aura, at this level, I am afraid that it is not as good as some barren places in the wilderness!" Zhang Yuanhao wondered in his heart.

The two of them flew in the air one after the other, and according to Yan Nanxi's instructions, they headed towards the top of Jiuzhong Mountain, where the people of the Lingguang Sect now temporarily lived, and it was also the current mountain gate of the Lingguang Sect.

Two exercises flew out from Jiuzhong Mountain, and the two foundation building monks sensed the fluctuations of spiritual power emitted by Zhang Yuanhao, and cautiously stepped forward to investigate.

"Huh?"

Ouyang Yan sensed a familiar fluctuation of spiritual power, looked at it, and found that it was Yan Nanxi, she was stepping on a sword light at this time, following behind a foundation building monk who looked like he was twenty or thirty years old, and after a careful sense, he found that this person was actually a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, however, this person always had a feeling that made him familiar, but he couldn't say why.

This is not to blame Zhang Yuanhao, when he was promoted to build the foundation, his longevity increased greatly, and his appearance naturally changed, and when he was in the Lingguang Sect, he basically had no contact with elders like Ouyang Yan on weekdays, and the latter naturally did not have much impression of him.

Fifth Elder Shan Shenchan followed behind Ouyang Yan, frowned and asked, "Yan Nanxi, who is this person?"

Before Yan Nanxi behind him could speak, Zhang Yuanhao spoke first, and he smiled slightly: "Elder Ouyang, don't you remember me?"

Ouyang Yan was a little embarrassed, he laughed dryly twice and said, "Forgive me for being clumsy, I really don't remember who the Taoist friend is!"

Shout!

Another rainbow light swept from Jiuzhong Mountain, revealing one of the slightly majestic figures, it was not Sun Fei or anyone.

"Sect Master, I'm back!"

Looking at Sun Fei's pale temples and much older face, Zhang Yuanhao sighed and bowed solemnly.

"...... are you" Sun Fei's lips trembled when he saw this scene, and he couldn't think of the identity of the person in front of him, "Zhang Yuanhao!"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of Ouyang Yan and the others were filled with shock.

......

On Jiuzhong Mountain, Zhang Yuanhao stood on an open-air stone platform, looking at the group of Lingguang Sect disciples who came out of the simple houses one after another, and there were less than 100 people gathered in a sparse manner, and his heart was full of emotion.

It turned out that in the territory of Cangfeng Country, the Lingguang Sect could be regarded as a famous sect, with a glorious history and good foundation-building combat power, but who would have thought that it would be so downtrodden at this moment.

"Zhang Yuanhao, you are actually in the middle of foundation building!" The sixth elder Xiao Ping stood aside faintly, and finally couldn't help but speak.

Once upon a time, she was an elder in the sect, and she was a cultivator in the middle of foundation building, and at that time, Zhang Yuanhao was just a protector in the door, and she didn't even reach the foundation building realm, but it was only a long time before the latter had a cultivation comparable to her, which made her sigh at the same time, but also a trace of disbelief.

The two talked for a few words, and Xiao Ping, a cultivation madman, did not leave the cultivation for three sentences, so that Zhang Yuanhao had to find an excuse to prevaricate in the past, until Sun Fei coughed heavily, and the two stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here today because I have something important to announce!"

Sun Fei looked around, motioned for Zhang Yuanhao to step forward, stood beside him, and greeted everyone's curious, surprised, or puzzled eyes, his face was indifferent.

"This person next to me is Zhang Yuanhao, the former protector of my Lingguang Sect, I believe everyone should be familiar with him......" Sun Fei paused at the right time, and let the people below quarrel over the pot, and after a while, he let out a light cough, and the noisy noise disappeared immediately.

"Zhang Protector went out to practice more than half a year ago, and now he has reached the foundation building realm, and he is still willing to return to our little Lingguang sect to help us. I declare that Zhang Yuanhao will be the eighth elder of my Lingguang Sect from now on, taking over the position of the original second elder, with eight thousand spirit stones per month and a spiritual weapon!" Sun Fei's face turned a little red, but he still insisted on finishing his words.

Zhang Yuanhao didn't say anything, and in fact, the monthly income that any foundation building cultivator could get in any sect would definitely not be less than 10,000 spirit stones, and 8,000 spirit stones, which was probably just enough for his cultivation. However, he didn't have any dissatisfaction, because the current Lingguang Sect was really too poor to open the pot, and it was already benevolent and righteous for people to be able to squeeze out the moon of eight thousand spirit stones for him, according to Yan Nanxi, the sect master and the six elders had never taken the moon in order to save expenses.

After Sun Fei arranged all the big and small matters, he summoned all the foundation building beings in the gate to the sect master's hall for a secret meeting.

It is said to be the Sect Master Hall, but in fact it is a simple stone house, far less magnificent than the Sect Master Hall of the Lingguang Sect Sect Peak before, but at this time, everyone didn't mind this, and sat down on a wide stone table one by one, quietly waiting for Sun Fei's speech.

In the current Lingguang faction, plus Zhang Yuanhao, there are a total of five foundations, although the comparison is insufficient, but the comparison is more than enough, in Zhang Yuanhao's view, even if the Lingguang faction has declined, but it will not be to the point where it is now, compared to some scattered cultivation forces that have not built a foundation.

After listening to Zhang Yuanhao's question, Sun Fei and the others were all bitter.

It turned out that the Yi Yan Sword Sect had long had the intention of destroying the Spirit Light Sect, and Zhang Yuanhao's matter was just an excuse. Taking this opportunity, they not only sent the fake Dan Realm monk Teng Sha to take the lead in destroying the Lingguang Sect, but also released a rumor, vaguely indicating a thought, I just don't like the Lingguang Sect, you can stay in the Lingguang Sect, but if something happens, then don't blame anyone.

As a result, not only were a large number of low-level monks panicking and did not dare to stay in the Lingguang Sect, but even some middle- and high-level monks were in danger and quietly left the Lingguang Sect.

As soon as they came and went, there were only a few hundred people left in the huge Lingguang Sect, and coupled with the difficulties of the Black Iron Sect a few days ago, some of them either left by themselves or were eliminated, resulting in less than a hundred people left.

Zhang Yuanhao's eyes were silent, and after a long time, he asked, "What's going on with the Black Iron Sect?"

Sun Fei explained: "There are some people in the Black Iron Sect who are the main battle faction, they want to subvert the dominance of the Yi Yan Sword Sect in the Cangfeng Kingdom, so they also follow the example of the Yi Yan Sword Sect and have accepted a lot of vassal sects, and my Lingguang Sect is one of their goals, they want to merge us into their Foreign Affairs Hall as a whole like those sects recruited by them, so they have released a lot of benefits in the past few days, attracting some people who are not firm in their hearts to go over. ”
