Chapter 579 Seeing Old Friends Again

After Xiao Ling led everyone into the star realm, the commotion caused by the opening of the space channel was naturally difficult to conceal. He had no intention of deliberately concealing it, and naturally, the patrolling disciples of the Xingyun Pavilion who were stationed there in advance were instantly alarmed.

Yun Yun and the other two hadn't recovered from the shock of entering the Star Realm yet, when they heard sharp sounds of breaking wind in the distance. Several streams of light, carrying tremendous fighting spirit, flew towards the direction of Xiao Ling and the others like meteors chasing the moon.

In the blink of an eye, the streams of light were approaching, and the light gradually dimmed, and several disciples wearing the uniform of the Xingyun Pavilion appeared.

Most of the patrolling disciples used their fighting spirit and wings to fly in the sky, but the three leading ones walked in the air calmly. Every step they took seemed to be in harmony with the space, and they faintly revealed an extraordinary aura, which showed that they were at least Dou Zong level warriors.

They approached quickly with the sound of breaking wind, and the noise they caused naturally attracted the attention of Xiao Ling and others in an instant.

Everyone looked up and saw the streams of light coming closer and closer. Soon, the figures of the patrolling disciples appeared clearly in front of them.

And when the patrolling disciples gradually saw the group of people in front of them and their eyes fell on the familiar face of Xiao Ling who was in the lead, they first showed a look of surprise and disbelief on their faces, as if they did not expect Xiao Ling to return at this time.

However, this surprise was soon replaced by deep respect. Their eyes were full of awe and their actions became more respectful.

The Dou Zong-level disciple who was leading the group was the first to come to his senses. He quickly led the disciples behind him to stop in unison, and then bowed to Xiao Ling. His posture was extremely humble, and his tone was full of respect:
"Hello, Master Xiao Ling. I am Wei Wenhao, who is in charge of patrolling the Star Realm Channel today. I am here just for a routine inspection. However, since you are Master Xiao Ling, there is no need to go through so much trouble."

The other disciples also echoed and said in unison: "Greetings to Master Xiao Ling."

No one dared to slack off while speaking. After all, Xiao Ling's status and prestige in Xingyun Pavilion were known to everyone. His unfathomable strength and current status as "the continent's number one alchemist" made everyone admire him.

"It's okay. You guys are also doing your duty. But I haven't been home for a long time. I came back suddenly today, which surprised you."

In response to this situation, Xiao Ling just waved his hand, his expression calm, and smiled faintly:

"Don't worry about what's going on here. Go and do your own things first."

Upon hearing this, the patrolling disciples all nodded. They already had patrolling tasks to do and had no plans to stay here, not to mention that Xiao Ling had already said so.

Then, the leading patrol disciple bowed respectfully to Xiao Ling again and said loudly: "Then I will take my leave first. Master Xiao Ling will be at your disposal if you need me."

After saying that, he turned around and winked at the other disciples behind him, then took the lead in flying into the air. The other disciples hurriedly followed. The group soon turned into several streams of light, and flew away into the distance with the sound of breaking wind. After a while, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing that the patrolling disciples had left, Xiao Ling slowly retracted his gaze and turned to look at the people around him. With a slight smile on his face, he said softly:
"Let's go. I'll take you to my place to rest for a while. You must be a little tired after traveling all the way. Take a good rest first. As for your subsequent plans, I will make proper arrangements for them later."

Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran and Ya Fei came to Zhongzhou this time. They were unfamiliar with the place and were completely in the dark.

Xiao Ling had discussed this with them before and suggested that they stay in Xingyun Pavilion to develop, but this was only a temporary arrangement.

Xiao Ling thought that if they had their own plans and wanted to find another place to go, he would naturally not stop them.

After all, this was just a matter of convenience for him, and he had never thought about getting too much substantial help from Yun Yun and the others. It wasn't too much trouble for him anyway, so he would help if he could. It all depended on their own intentions and choices.

After saying that, Xiao Ling didn't say anything more. He just lightly tapped the air with his toes, and in an instant, his whole body turned into a gorgeous rainbow of light like an arrow from a bow, and flew towards the depths of Xingyun Pavilion.

The rainbow of light was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it drew a dazzling arc in the air and brought up a whistling wind.

Seeing this, the people behind him looked at each other, then they all jumped up and followed without hesitation...

……

Flying over the sky of the star realm, Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran and Ya Fei never stopped looking. They looked at the buildings of the Xingyun Pavilion along the way with curiosity, their hearts filled with amazement.

I saw those pavilions and palaces, which were magnificent, some rising from the ground and reaching into the sky, showing their majestic aura; some were exquisitely located by the mountains and water, revealing a unique elegance.

There seemed to be wisps of mist lingering above the flying eaves and brackets, sparkling with mysterious brilliance under the sunlight. There were many wonderful runes and patterns engraved between the carved beams and painted buildings, telling of the long history and profound heritage of Xingyun Pavilion.

Ya Fei couldn't help but admire softly, "The architecture of this Xingyun Pavilion is so magnificent. It is indeed a well-known power in Zhongzhou. Compared with our Northwest Continent, it is a world of difference."

The master and disciple Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun also nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of curiosity and yearning.

Qinglin was quite enthusiastic on the way, and introduced them from time to time: "Look at that pavilion, it's called Lingxiao Pavilion. On weekdays, the elders in the pavilion often discuss important matters in it. There are many powerful restrictions in it, which can not only ensure that secrets are not leaked, but also resist foreign invasion."

Then, Qing Lin pointed to a palace surrounded by clouds and mist not far away and said, "That is the hidden power hall of Xingyun Pavilion. There are many precious secret manuals stored in it. However, if you want to go in and take a look, you have to pass many tests. After you register to join Xingyun Pavilion, you can also go in and try it out. This can be regarded as a small benefit for joining Xingyun Pavilion for the first time."

Yun Yun and the other two listened to Qing Lin's introduction as they continued to move forward. They felt more and more that the Xingyun Pavilion was full of mystery and extraordinaryness, and they were looking forward to the days they would be staying here.

Not long after, they flew to a rather peculiar place. In front of them was an illusion array filled with thick fog. The fog was like a veil, interweaving in strands and covering everything, making it difficult to see clearly.

Xiao Ling, the leader, flew into the illusion array first, and everyone hurried to follow. At the moment of passing through the illusion array, their vision gradually became clear.

Everyone looked down subconsciously, and saw that what looked like a quiet valley suddenly appeared a towering mountain, which was Lingyue Peak. There were many buildings scattered on the mountain, including pavilions and towers built on the mountain, with eaves and corners shining in the sunlight, as if echoing the charm of the mountain; there was also a solemn and majestic hall located in the middle, with the door of the hall closed, but it faintly revealed a majestic momentum.

Winding up along the mountain path, you can see many rare spiritual plants growing by the roadside, emitting a faint halo. Occasionally, a spiritual spring in the mountain flows down from great heights, splashing crystal water among the rocks, making a crisp and pleasant sound, just like playing a mountain music, adding a bit of quiet and elegant charm to Lingyue Peak.

Under Xiao Ling's leadership, everyone began to slowly float down. Finally, they landed steadily in a very spacious courtyard on Lingyue Peak.

Obviously, from the various arrangements and decorations of this courtyard, it can be seen that this is where Xiao Ling and his companions usually live.

It has the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the world, yet it still retains the mood of life. As soon as you step into this place, you will feel comfortable, as if all the fatigue can disappear at this moment.

At this moment, a fierce battle was taking place in a wide square deep in the courtyard.

The two graceful figures came and went, their bodies intertwined, as fast as lightning, leaving only a series of blurry afterimages.

Every time they made a move, they were wrapped in a tremendous amount of fighting spirit, which surged in all directions like a raging wave. Faintly, one could clearly sense the ripples of the fighting spirit constantly vibrating, as if it was going to stir up turbulence in the surrounding space.

Fortunately, an isolation formation had been set up in the square. This formation was like an invisible barrier, covering up most of the noise caused by the battle, weakening the originally deafening roar and violent fighting spirit impact a lot, so as not to disturb the outside world too much.

However, due to its original design, this formation did not block the line of sight at all. Through the faint energy light curtain, Xiao Ling and his companions had easily noticed the movements over there.

"Are you really idle? Why are those two girls fighting again? I finally came back to Xingyun Pavilion, but they didn't even come over to say hello. Humph, I'll have to teach them a lesson later."

Zi Yan looked in the direction of the square, and as she spoke, she glanced unhappily at Feng Qing'er and Mu Mu Qingluan who were fighting fiercely in the square. She couldn't help but pout, then curl her lips, and put her hands on her hips. Her angry look was so adorable, and her words showed obvious dissatisfaction.

"They usually have a lot of conflicts with each other, and they often fight over a disagreement, so it's not unusual to see them fighting now. I'm used to it anyway."

The Little Medical Fairy waved her hand slightly, her tone seemed quite casual. After saying this, she turned her gaze in Xiao Ling's direction and continued,

"I'm going to go to the medicine garden to take care of some things first. I also need to pick some more herbs for my cultivation."

In response, Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded: "Well, go ahead. If you need any help, just let me know."

Upon hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy curled up a faint smile, tapped the ground with her feet, and her figure instantly flew up, turning into a lively light and shadow, and rushed towards the direction of the medicine garden in the deepest part of the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, the light and shadow merged into the surrounding scenery, leaving only the breeze brought by the sleeves.

However, when the Little Medical Fairy was flying towards the medicine garden, she happened to pass by the square where Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan had fought.

The formation that had been set up in the square had indeed played a significant role in masking most of the violent energy fluctuations caused by the fight between the two, but it also greatly hindered their perception of the external situation, causing the two to be immersed in this fierce competition and for a moment they were completely unaware of the movements of the outside world.

However, the sound of the wind caused by the Little Medical Fairy's flying past and the obvious light and shadow passing through the air still attracted their attention.

When the Little Medical Fairy passed by, she did not forget to nod and greet them. This action naturally made Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan come back to their senses.

After the two figures crossed and separated in the air again, they instantly stopped their attacks and stopped in mid-air together.

They were breathing slightly, but their eyes were all looking towards the center of the courtyard, and they saw the conspicuous figures of Xiao Ling and his group.

When they saw Xiao Ling's familiar face, Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er's faces instantly showed joy.

It's just that Feng Qing'er's joy was slightly restrained and a bit subtle, but Mu Qingluan was different, her joy was completely written on her face, without any concealment, and there seemed to be a light flickering in her eyes.

Immediately, the two looked at each other, tacitly restrained their fighting spirit, gave up the idea of ​​continuing the competition, and then flew straight towards the barrier surrounding the square.

They were seen passing through the barrier lightly, like two nimble birds, flying straight towards the direction where Xiao Ling and his group were. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of everyone.

"Brother, you are finally back. Qingluan missed you so much in Xingyun Pavilion. You have been away for a long time and didn't come back to see me. Brother, you are getting more and more powerful now. You can't forget about me, your little sister, just because you are rich."

As soon as Mu Qingluan landed on the ground, she took a few quick steps forward and suddenly came close to Xiao Ling. With a pretty smile on her face, she put her arm around Xiao Ling's arm, rubbed his head gently, and said in a tender voice.

Feng Qing'er's pace was a little slower than Mu Qingluan's, but she soon came close to Xiao Ling and his group.

She first stopped, bowed slightly with an elegant posture, with a perfect smile on her face, and said respectfully: "Greetings to Mr. Xiao Ling, Miss Zi Yan, and Miss Qing Lin."

"This time I went out mainly to deal with some things, and it did delay me for quite a long time. I have always been thinking about you, my junior sister, so how could I forget you." Xiao Ling smiled and reached out to gently rub Mu Qingluan's head.

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Feng Qing'er again, nodded slightly, with a bit of approval in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Yes, Qing'er, I can feel that your cultivation has improved a lot. I believe you have been practicing hard these days." (End of this chapter)
