Chapter 780: Daughter of an Old Friend

The young woman was stunned.

These dozen cultivators from the Yan and Man tribes were all masters in the middle and late stages of foundation building. After several battles, they could only flee without any strength. However, they had no power to resist in front of this black-clothed man. They all died in the blink of an eye. Such great power was extremely terrifying.

The young woman was surprised and could not help but sweep her mind to detect the cultivation level of this black-clothed man, but soon a huge look of horror emerged on her face.

With her cultivation level, she could not sense the depth of this black-clothed man at all. She could only feel such unfathomable depth when facing several Jindan stage masters of the sect. How could this beautiful young woman not be extremely shocked!

She immediately withdrew her mind and stood there with a restrained face, not daring to move at all.

Although this man just attacked the Yan and Man tribes, from the situation in front of them, even if they were stupid, they could see that the fog barrier that had previously permeated here was set up by the other party to cover the cave. They rushed in rashly and didn’t know how the other party would deal with them.

"Which sect are you from? How come these barbarians appear in Dongzhou?"

Just as the group stood there in shock, the black-clothed man suddenly turned his head to look at them. His voice was not volatile, which made them feel cold.

But after hearing this question, the young woman and others were a little surprised. It was no secret that the Yan and Man tribes had sneaked into Dongzhou through the gap in the Fenglingque restriction in recent years. Didn't this person know anything about it?

But seeing that this person lived in seclusion in the mountains, he might really not know about the outside world. The young woman immediately replied respectfully: "Reporting to the senior, I am a disciple of the Qingyu Sect. These monks from the Yan and Man tribes came to Dongzhou through the gap in the Fenglingque. They often made trouble everywhere in recent years. We were also hunted by them. We had no choice but to break into the mist restriction of the senior. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

"So you are disciples of the Qingyu Sect, one of the top ten sects in the border." The black-clothed man seemed a little surprised.

"That's right." The young woman nodded and didn't dare to neglect it.

She was about to say something, but saw the black-clothed man frowned and asked her again: "Just now I heard you say that those barbarians came to Dongzhou through the gap of Fenglingque. What's going on? There are also Yan people?"

Hearing this, the young woman was more certain that this person was practicing in seclusion in the mountains.

At the moment, she didn't guess anything, and immediately said: "This matter has to start from the destruction of Fenglingque. Since the destruction of the restriction, monks from the two tribes have sneaked into Dongzhou one after another."

"When did the Fenglingque restriction break?" The black-clothed man frowned slightly, with surprise on his face.

"About a few months ago." The young woman explained, "At that time, the Fenglingque moved for no reason, and then gradually cracked. But it seems that the Fenglingque restriction was only half destroyed. Only cultivators below the foundation building stage can pass through the immortal barrier, and high-level cultivators cannot pass through."

"I see." The black-clothed cultivator frowned and asked, "What is the situation of Fenglingque now?"

The young woman hesitated for a moment, as if she was organizing her words, and said after a while: "Since the discovery of the destruction of the Fenglingque restriction, all sects have sent people. In addition to the ten major sects on the border, the righteous and evil sects in the central part of Dongzhou have also sent high-level cultivators to guard it, waiting for the restriction to be repaired."

"Have the righteous and evil sects also sent out? But why do I hear that there are great contradictions between the two sides, and Lingyun Sect and the four major sects of the Demon Sect often clash?" The black-clothed man asked with a strange look on his face.

"The conflict between Lingyun Sect and the four major sects of the Demon Sect? Senior, are you referring to the incident of Lingyun Sect losing the Holy Pattern Cauldron eight years ago?" This surprised the young woman.

"Eight years ago? Didn't you expect that I would be in seclusion for eight years?"

The black-clothed man muttered to himself, with a dazed look in his eyes.

This black-clothed man was Ye Chunyang who was in seclusion here after receiving the Holy Pattern Cauldron from Lingyun Sect.

Due to the help of Haoyuan Pill, Ye Chunyang's cultivation level has greatly improved during this seclusion. Now he has advanced to the middle stage of Jindan, but he has been consolidating his state and has not been in a hurry to come out.

Speaking of this, the advancement was unexpectedly smooth. Ye Chunyang originally thought that even if he refined Haoyuan Pill, his cultivation method would require spiritual energy, and his advancement would be much more difficult than that of ordinary people. However, he never expected that after taking Haoyuan Pill, his mana would increase overnight, and then he entered the middle stage of Jindan without any effort.

Ye Chunyang had thought about this several times. He was able to break through so smoothly. Perhaps it was because the Haoyuan Pill was fused with the spiritual spring water, or perhaps it was because the skills he practiced were stronger than those of ordinary people, or perhaps the spirituality of the Haoyuan Pill refined by the Holy Pattern Cauldron was greatly increased, but it was also very likely that various reasons played a role...

In short, this breakthrough was completely beyond Ye Chunyang's expectations. After several fruitless thoughts, he no longer thought about it and focused on stabilizing his realm. If he had not been disturbed by these people this time, he would probably still be practicing hard now.

Seeing that he was silent, the young woman and the others felt uneasy in their hearts, and at the same time they did not dare to disturb him rashly, and stood there at a loss for a while.

After a long while, Ye Chunyang turned around and looked at them again, but suddenly his eyes condensed.

"Huh?"

Ye Chunyang's eyes fell on the plain-clothed girl among the few people, and there seemed to be some doubt in his eyes.

Finding that this senior seemed to be looking at her, the plain-clothed girl showed a trace of panic on her face, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

"What's your name?" Ye Chunyang looked at the girl and suddenly asked.

The girl in plain clothes was startled, and the young woman and others next to her were also puzzled. They wondered how this senior master could pay attention to a female cultivator like her who had just established her foundation.

"The little girl's name is Su Qing." Although she had all kinds of doubts in her heart, the girl hurriedly and respectfully reported her name.

"Suqing?"

Ye Chunyang frowned and took a few more glances at the woman, vaguely seeing something familiar in her appearance.

After pondering for a while, he then asked: "Do you know Lingyun Sect Mu Yunshu? What is your relationship with her?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the girl suddenly opened her mouth, with a look of surprise and suspicion on her face.

"Mu Yunshu is my mother." The girl looked at Ye Chunyang for a long time and said with a slight doubt on her face.

"You are actually her daughter!" Ye Chunyang suddenly realized that this girl is actually the daughter of an old friend. No wonder her eyebrows are somewhat similar to that of the young senior sister back then.

Thinking of the young senior sister who was heroic and had a good relationship with him, Ye Chunyang felt a smile in his heart. If there was anyone in the Lingyun Sect who could bring him a good impression, it was probably this person.

"Senior, do you know my mother?" Seeing his expression, the girl became even more confused.

Ye Chunyang was silent for a while, nodded, and said: "She is an old acquaintance, I guess, but I think she and I haven't seen each other for a hundred years. Speaking of which, how is your mother doing?"

Recalling the time when he first entered the Immortal Path and walked down the mountain with Mu Yunshu, Ye Chunyang looked a little dazed, and the images that appeared in his memory were like yesterday, but a hundred years had passed with the snap of a finger.

"My mother passed away decades ago because she was unable to build the foundation, and her longevity was no different from that of a mortal." The girl's expression darkened when she heard this.

"Sitting down!"

Ye Chunyang's heart fluctuated, and he was greatly surprised, and said: "I remember that your mother seems to have the qualification of dual spiritual roots, right? Why can't you build a foundation? Is there an accident?"

When he first met Mu Yunshu in the Daughter Kingdom, Ye Chunyang could tell that the other party had the aptitude for dual spiritual roots. As long as he put in a little effort to build the foundation, it was not difficult. What's more, Mu Yunshu was defeated by Hongye's sect. Hongye was in Lingyun Sect at that time. With his status and love for this girl, there was no reason not to help her build her foundation. He never expected that the other party would have already passed away after a hundred years.

Hearing that Ye Chunyang knew her mother so well, the girl in plain clothes was even more confused, but she seemed to have remembered something, and sighed sadly, saying: "Actually, it's not entirely right to say that my mother didn't build a foundation, just like that. The seniors guessed that my mother had indeed reached this stage before, but later due to the barbarian invasion, my mother followed Master Hongye to the Western Regions to defend against the enemy. Master unfortunately died and my mother was seriously injured. Fortunately, she was saved by the elders of the same sect, but As a result, the Dao foundation was damaged, and the cultivation level dropped to the Qi refining stage and it was no longer possible to build the foundation."

"That's it! Didn't you expect that the red leaves have already fallen long ago?" Ye Chunyang suddenly felt like things have changed in a few hundred years.

He looked at the girl and said, "You are Mu Yunshu's daughter, so why didn't you join the Lingyun Sect instead of the Qingyu Sect?"

The girl seemed to have started chatting, and after a deep sigh she replied: "Master Hongye died, and my mother had no one to protect her in the Lingyun Sect. Because her cultivation level plummeted, her life in the sect was unsatisfactory, and she left the sect after that. Lingyun Sect traveled to the border alone, and later met my father, and the two became Taoist couples. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and my mother passed away not long after Suqing was born. "

"So your father is a disciple of Qingyu Sect?" Ye Chunyang asked.

"That's not the case. My father was just a casual cultivator. Later, he passed away together with his mother due to an accident. It was by chance that Su Qing joined the Qingyu Sect." The girl shook her head.

Ye Chunyang was silent for a long time.

He took one last look at the girl and asked casually: "Did your mother... say anything before she died?"

The girl didn't know why Ye Chunyang asked this question, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After a moment, she showed a look of recollection and said, "My mother didn't say anything before she died. She just mentioned a senior named Ye."

"A person named Ye? What did she say?" Ye Chunyang remained unchanged on the surface, but he couldn't help but move in his heart.

The girl hesitated, but still replied: "According to what my mother said, this senior Ye was once her fellow sect, but unfortunately he had a bad fate. Her only regret was that she could not take him away from Lingyun Sect in time when she was still capable. , so that he was eventually harmed by the devil and did not end well. "
