Chapter 108 Return

"Brother Linyang's words make sense. The top priority is to leave this place as soon as possible. Other matters can be discussed in the long term."

Yan Jianfeng crossed his arms and spoke in agreement.

Now that the two leading figures have decided, it is naturally not Zhou Yiqiao's turn to choose.

He followed Princess Fengxiao as he had come, silently acting as a guard, and followed the three of them to the entrance of the secret realm.

At the entrance, the two teams that chose to explore the Talisman Making Room and the Quiet Room had gathered. Compared with the number of people who were dispersed, there was obviously a lot of reduction in the number of people.

Exploring the secret realm is a struggle against the unknown. Since the casualties of both teams were within the expected range, Situ Yiming and Yan Jianfeng did not care about what happened to everyone.

Seeing that none of the fellow disciples who had explored the weapon refining room returned here, Yan Jianfeng stood up first and spoke to everyone.

"Liuyang Sect Yan Feng privately practices demonic arts, harms fellow practitioners, and seeks to steal treasures. His crimes are extremely heinous. When he returns to the sect, I will report it to the sect. This beast is wanted."

Situ Yiming said immediately.

"According to Junior Brother Zhou, the magic skills practiced by Yan Feng are unpredictable and very strange, making it difficult for ordinary people to guard against. Please be extremely careful when meeting this person in the future."

The two of them talked to each other, and it was obvious that they were handling the matter lightly and trying to get rid of it.

What the two did did not exceed Zhou Yiqiao's expectations, but played into his own hands.

From the beginning, the two leaders did not believe that Zhou Yiqiao could survive to the end with his strength among the six people, and subconsciously believed that he was indeed the one who escaped from Yan Feng's hands.

Therefore, when Zhou Yiqiao described that there were only a few top-quality spiritual weapons in the weapon refining room, the two people who were the first in the foundation-building realm in their respective sects immediately lost their appeal.

Immortal cultivators pay attention to their own interests. Since the harm outweighs the benefits, there is no need to mobilize troops for Zhou Yiqiao, who has no background.

Zhou Yiqiao was naturally happy to see the two people's decision come to fruition, but he showed a hint of unwillingness at the right time, indicating that he had agreed to their choice and suffered this "secret loss".

Seeing that Zhou Yiqiao was very knowledgeable and saved the two of them a lot of trouble, Situ Yiming and Yan Jianfeng smiled happily.

The two of them greeted the remaining disciples of their respective sects to leave the secret realm. After saying goodbye to each other, they each led their junior brothers and sisters back to their sects.

……

On the Tai Chi bone boat.

Situ Yiming brought Zhou Yiqiao to the deck, threw an exquisite storage bag to Zhou Yiqiao, and then spoke.

"During this trip to the secret realm, my Phoenix Pavilion disciples suffered a lot of losses, and my senior brother feels very sad."

"But as monks like us pursue immortality, we will encounter many similar situations in the future. Only by learning from the experience can we go further on the road to immortality."

"Senior brother also knows that junior brother not only gained nothing from this trip, but also consumed precious talismans. There are five thousand spiritual stones in this storage bag, which should be enough to make up for junior brother's loss."

After saying this, Situ Yiming stared into Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, waiting for Zhou Yiqiao's reply.

Zhou Yiqiao never thought that he could get the spirit stone for no reason, so he immediately made a flattered expression.

"Thank you, senior brother, for your teachings. As for this spiritual stone, junior brother really deserves it!"

Hearing this, Situ Yiming made an unhappy expression.

"The reason why senior brother brings his junior brothers and sisters to participate in this secret exploration is for everyone to benefit from it. Junior brother, it is not beautiful to do this."

Zhou Yiqiao did not expect that there was someone more sanctimonious than himself. He fastened the storage bag to his waist and sincerely thanked her with fists in his hands.

"In this case, junior brother, I would like to thank my senior brother here."

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao accept the spirit stone, Situ Yiming knew that this person had agreed to his arrangement. He made a teachable expression and patted Zhou Yiqiao on the shoulder.

"Junior sister Yingxuan grew up in a fine life, unlike you, junior brother, who climbed up from a casual cultivator step by step and was valued by Mr. Luo. Occasionally, you are a little rebellious. Please don't be jealous, junior brother."

"If junior brother needs any help in the future, you can go to Qisha Lake in Phoenix Pavilion to ask senior brother for help."

Zhou Yiqiao knew that Situ Yiming should have heard the evaluation of himself from Princess Fengxiao and knew that he and Princess Fengxiao were not on good terms, so he said these words.

He bowed his hands and said.

"Senior brother, you are too worried. Mr. Luo is as kind as a mountain to junior brother. Besides, Princess Fengxiao is a rich man. How can junior brother resent her?"

Zhou Yiqiao was originally an extremely self-interested person. From his perspective, Situ Yiming, at least with what he had done so far, could be called a magnanimous person. He felt a desire to make friends in his heart, and after some thought he spoke.

"Senior brother may not know that the princess has a favorite person in the imperial capital, who is the eldest son of Duke Cheng."

Situ Yiming was stunned when he heard this, and then said suddenly.

"Thank you."

After saying that, he laughed and returned to the dock.

"Situ Yiming is quite similar to me. If there is no conflict of interest, he is a person I wouldn't want to make friends with."

Following Situ Yiming back to the dock, Zhou Yiqiao looked at the man's back and thought in his mind.

The two of them were silent all the way, and when they returned to the dock, they heard the lively chatter of everyone in the house at the door.

After going through a lot of hardships, the fellow disciples who survived had more or less gained something, and everyone was obviously much more familiar with each other than when they came.

Zhou Yiqiao and the two entered the house and quickly mingled with everyone.

During the half month on the way back, the group sat and discussed Tao all day long, exchanging ideas with each other, and soon returned to the sect.

After the group of people said goodbye to each other, they each took out their magic weapons and flew to various places.

Zhou Yiqiao bowed to Situ Yiming and said goodbye.

"Senior Brother Linyang, Princess, please leave first!"

After saying that, under the watch of the two men, he took out the Swift Wind Sword and flew back to Suo Longze.

After flying for a full hour, Zhou Yiqiao arrived above Suo Longze.

He took out the optical gray silver formation disk from his storage bag and counted dots on the formation disk. Only then did the clouds and mist above Suo Longze gradually dissipate, revealing Zhou Yiqiao's cave.

He was not in a hurry to return to the cave, but flew to the several acres of spiritual fields at the entrance of the cave and leaned over to take care of the spiritual plants that he had not dealt with this month.

During the five years of seclusion, in order to better sell elixirs, he had spread his identity as a second-level alchemist, so he planted several acres of spiritual fields in front of the cave, which was in line with his continuous output of elixirs over the years.

It took him half an hour to finish cooking the spiritual field.

After getting up and returning to the cave, Zhou Yiqiao activated the light phase gray silver array disk, hiding the cave into the locked dragon Zee environment again.

Afterwards, he activated the ban on the cave, and only after confirming that it was safe enough, he began to count the spoils of the trip.
