Chapter 1129: Decision to Leave

After a most intense vibration, the red-gold light of the Fiery Sun Cauldron slowly faded, and the cauldron returned to calm.

Zhou Yiqiao opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

The aura of the Fiery Sun Cauldron has undergone a qualitative leap, advancing from a fourth-tier spiritual treasure to an acquired ancient treasure in one fell swoop.

The spiritual energy within the cauldron became even deeper, and the power of the Blood Demon's heart core was fully activated, making the flame control ability of the Lieyang Divine Cauldron reach a whole new level.

"I have to try out the effectiveness of this upgraded medicine cauldron after I go back."

Zhou Yiqiao pondered secretly in his heart, then turned around and left the underground world along the same path without hesitation.

When he returned to Yan Yang Sect again, Hun Yu had already cleaned up the entire Yan Yang Sect.

Piles of spiritual objects were stacked in the vestibule of the Chiyang Palace, sparkling with an alluring luster under the sunlight. The air was filled with rich medicinal fragrance and fluctuations of spiritual power, which made people intoxicated.

"Owner."

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao appear, Hunyu immediately went to meet him.

"Thank you for your hard work in collecting so many spiritual objects."

Zhou Yiqiao encouraged.

Hunyu lowered his head humbly, appearing very shy.

"Master, you are too kind. With the help of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it is only a matter of thought for Hunyu to collect these."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and did not continue to struggle with Hunyu. He released his spiritual sense to scan the spiritual objects in the entire hall.

The Yanyang Sect is worthy of being a sect supported by the Grand Elder. Even though its strongest fighter is Li Xunfeng, a cultivator who is half a step away from becoming a god, its foundation is still astonishingly rich.

There are spiritual herbs, spiritual stones, rare refining materials, and even some rare ancient books. There is a wide variety of them.

Among them, there are many rare treasures that can be of great benefit to Zhou Yiqiao's current cultivation, making him secretly rejoice in his gains from this trip.

After collecting all the spiritual objects into his pocket, Zhou Yiqiao made a hand gesture and shot out a flame, which directly burned down the entire gate of Yanyang Sect.

After confirming that no one in the Yanyang Sect had escaped, he returned to Qingdan Pavilion with Hunyu.

When they arrived at Qingdan Pavilion, Senior Sister Bi Yao, who was responsible for going to Qibaozhai to eliminate the trouble, had already returned to Qingdan Pavilion.

As soon as she saw Zhou Yiqiao returning, her eyes immediately flashed brightly and she quickly walked towards him.

"Junior Brother Zhou, how was this trip?"

Zhou Yiqiao bowed in return, politely.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. This is related to the interests of Qinjian Villa. I will do my best."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something, and after hesitating for a while, he told Bi Yao about the incident in which Lady Dan blew herself up before her death to pass on the message.

Upon hearing this, Bi Yao frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes.

"Mrs. Dan's self-detonation message is not a big deal if it is as Junior Brother said."

"But this matter concerns the safety of the sect after all. Senior sister, I must return to the sect as soon as possible and report this matter to the elders for a decision."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao knew that the matter was of great importance and had no intention of keeping the other party. After sending him to the gate of the market town, he said to the latter.

"Senior Sister Biyao, after all, the Great Elder's lineage holds a grudge against me. Now that there is a risk of being exposed, I naturally have no plans to stay in the border market any longer."

"As for where Junior Brother is going next..."

"Wait a minute."

Bi Yao interrupted Zhou Yiqiao, her expression extremely serious, completely devoid of her former liveliness.

"Junior Brother Zhou, there should be a special channel of communication between you and the young lady, right?"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded in agreement.

Bi Yao made an expression of realization, and continued speaking.

"In that case, wait until the young lady comes out of confinement, and then you can report to her yourself."

"You are now an important chess piece of the eldest lady outside the sect. The fewer people who know about your whereabouts, the better. Even I, your senior sister, am no exception."

"in addition."

Bi Yao changed the subject and took out an exquisite jade slip from her storage ring and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"This is a communication jade slip that the old man made specifically for me. If you encounter an emergency or make any important discoveries, you can immediately contact me through this jade slip."

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade slip and promised solemnly.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I will definitely live up to the expectations of you and the eldest lady."

Bi Yao nodded, said nothing more, turned and left, disappearing from Zhou Yiqiao's sight in an instant.

After seeing off Senior Sister Bi Yao, Zhou Yiqiao did not stop for a moment. He hurried back to Qingdan Pavilion.

After a night's rest, the next morning he summoned all the important personnel of Qingdan Pavilion, including core members such as Xu Qingyi and Xiao Lizi, and announced an important decision.

In the meeting hall of Qingdan Pavilion, everyone gathered together and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.

Zhou Yiqiao stood in the main seat, glanced at everyone present, and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, since I established Qingdan Pavilion, it is thanks to your efforts that Qingdan Pavilion has achieved its current scale and reputation."

"However, all good things must come to an end. I have called you all here today because I have something important to announce."

Hearing Zhou Yiqiao say this, everyone's faces showed expressions of shock and uneasiness, and they had a vague ominous premonition in their hearts.

Zhou Yiqiao continued.

"I'm sure you can all see that Zhou is not actually a casual cultivator in the true sense."

"Last night, the forces behind Zhou sent a message to summon Zhou back to the sect to deal with the upcoming crisis. After a night of careful consideration, Zhou decided to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, exclamations were heard in the hall.

Xu Qingyi, Xiao Lizi and others stood up hurriedly, looking anxious.

"Boss, why are you leaving so suddenly? Qingdan Pavilion can't do without you!"

Little Leo couldn't help but speak.

Even though Xu Qingyi was Zhou Yiqiao's disciple in name only, in fact, in the entire Qingdan Pavilion, he, Little Li, was the person who received the most care from Zhou Yiqiao.

If Zhou Yiqiao had not been there to support him, he would probably still be a spiritual herb dealer hanging around in Zoroastrianism and Zhongzhou, and there would be no possibility for him to break through to the Golden Elixir stage.

After Little Leo expressed his opinion, Xu Qingyi followed suit and spoke earnestly.

"Boss, Qingdan Pavilion is the foundation you built. What should we do now that you are gone?"

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, his expression firm and calm.

"Everyone, there is no need to do this."

"Although I'm leaving, Qingdan Pavilion will continue to flourish. I've decided that Little Li will take over as the new manager of Qingdan Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Little Leo stood there in a daze, obviously not expecting Zhou Yiqiao to make such an arrangement.

"Boss, I...I want to go with you!"

Faced with the sudden opportunity, Leo seemed a little at a loss, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice became choked.
