C451 Attaching (1/2)
After leaving the Tinggui Mountain, Fang Yunlong immediately rushed over to the Heluo Sect. The reason he had returned to the sect in such a hurry was because he was worried about Xu Ruyun, Younger Sister and the rest. He wondered how they were doing during the competition for resources in the Yuzhou cultivation world.
The second reason was that when Heluo Sect Elders Guild sent over the rewards, they had also brought over a piece of news, which was that Elder Jin and Elder Lu wished for him to return to the sect and have something to discuss with him.
Before receiving the mission to guard the Tinggui Mountain, Fang Yunlong had received the favor of both Elder Jin and Elder Lu. One had bestowed him with a Fire Talisman, while the other had given him a Origin Returning Pill.
At that time, Fang Yunlong guessed that the two Core Formation elders definitely had something that they wanted to do, but until he left the Heluo Sect and went to the Tinggui Mountain, the two did not come looking for him. This made Fang Yunlong puzzled.
Unexpectedly, only today did the two men reveal their true faces. Two Core Condensation Period Elders had something to discuss with a Foundation Establishment disciple.
This was something that had never been heard of before, it seemed like what the two of them wanted Fang Yunlong to do was no small matter. It's just that Fang Yunlong simply could not reject it, unless he did not want to live anymore.
It was a blessing, not a disaster. It was a disaster that he could not avoid. After a month of trekking, Fang Yunlong finally returned to the Heluo Sect, where they had parted ways for more than a year.
The flowers and plants on the river mountain were as beautiful as ever, but they lacked many admirers. The previous situation of being overcrowded and flying around on the mountain was no longer visible. Along the way, Fang Yunlong only saw many Qi Condensation disciples doing odd jobs.
But he did not see a single Foundation Building Period Cultivator. This time around, Yuzhou and cultivation realms were fighting over cultivation resources.
It was not those Core Condensation Period Elders who had fallen, nor the lowest level of Qi Condensation disciples, but the Foundation Building Period Cultivator who were known as the pillars of the cultivation world. After the calamity, who knows how many more Foundation Building Period Cultivator survived.
As long as they found the Sect Master Du, they would be very clear about their sect's situation. Fang Yunlong's figure flashed, he increased his speed and flew straight to the main hall on the mountain top.
The main hall was still the unchanging main hall, but Fang Yunlong's state of mind, who had gone through the baptism of fire and battle, had undergone a large change. Falling from the sky, Fang Yunlong walked towards the palace.
The closer he got to the great hall, the more anxious Fang Yunlong became. In the battle of life and death with Tinggui Mountain, he had experienced the separation of life and death of countless of his comrades, especially Su Cheng, Niu Da and the others who he was familiar with.
He had come to the Main Hall today to seek information from the Sect Master Du, asking about Xu Ruyun, her best friend, and her various good friends.
”Squeak squeak”, the Xiaoyun stuck its head out from Fang Yunlong's embrace and jumped onto Fang Yunlong's shoulder, skillfully pulling his hair, and kept on calling out.
Ever since the Xiaoyun was arranged to search underground for the Colorful Butterfly, it stopped being addicted to sleeping and started to jump around once more. Normally, a small head would crawl out from Fang Yunlong's embrace, look around, and occasionally jump on his shoulders, making creaking sounds.
Fang Yunlong could feel that the Xiaoyun's strength had greatly increased, but he could not use the Demonic Beast's rank to rank it up.
All along, Fang Yunlong treated the Xiaoyun as his little brother and protected it in every possible way, rarely letting it face the enemy and unknown dangers.
As a result, Fang Yunlong did not know the extent of the Xiaoyun's strength, but he was certain that ordinary Level Three or Four Demonic Beast were not its opponent.
Hearing the Xiaoyun's voice and feeling the pain in its heart, Fang Yunlong knew that because of his sentimental feelings, he thought about his comrades' deaths and it caused the Xiaoyun to miss its mother.
It had been more than twenty years since that year, and if not for Xiaoyun's mother, he would have become a pile of dirt. Fang Yunlong pondered for a moment, then made up his mind. Once things here were settled, he and the Xiaoyun would return to the mortal world, kill the Dazzling Python, kill Cai Hu, and remove the hatred from the mortal world.
Gently patting the Xiaoyun's head, Fang Yunlong gave a slight smile as he shook away the random thoughts and somewhat sad emotions in his mind. No matter what, since he had chosen the path of cultivation, he would have to put aside all negative emotions and fearlessly walk forward, all the way to the peak.
”Haha, today, when the magpie went up the branch, this old man was puzzled. I didn't expect that it would be Junior Brother Yun.”
Following the sound of laughter, the Sect Master Elder Du Ruyan strode out from the great hall and arrived in front of Fang Yunlong.
Fang Yunlong immediately bowed slightly, and said with a smile. ”Senior Brother Du, we haven't seen each other in the past few years, yet your demeanor is still the same.”
Sect Master Du stepped forward as he enthusiastically held Fang Yunlong's hands and laughed: ”Junior Brother Yun, you have earned a lot of face for our Heluo Sect, even the Great Clan Elder of Sky Valley had praised you greatly. As a Heluo Sect Sect Master, this old man has the honor of having a disciple like you.”
There was definitely a reason why the Sect Master Du was so enthusiastic. At this time, Fang Yunlong's master, Elder Liu was in the limelight. Within the Heluo Sect, he was like the sun in the sky, and other than the two great elders, he was revered.
