Chapter 807: Old Enemies
Looking at the smoke in the stove dissipating, the eyes of Fairy Yunxia flickered, and she was thinking about something in secret. After a long silence, she left the quiet room.
On the other side, Ye Chunyang, who was staying in the guest room, was quietly detecting with his consciousness, and he collected all the situations of Yunxiao Pavilion into his mind. Soon he found that there were several powerful and obscure auras in the pavilion, some of which were very familiar, and they were all acquaintances.
He opened his eyes and a thoughtful look flashed across his face, but he didn't think much about it.
This time, coming to Tianyang City to participate in the secret meeting was just a formality for him, and he didn't take it too seriously. No matter how powerful the Yan and Man tribes were, they would eventually have a war with them. What did it matter whether the so-called secret meeting was held or not?
With a sneer in his heart, Ye Chunyang closed his eyes again and entered into meditation, completely entering into hard practice.
Unknowingly, it was night time, dark clouds covered the moon, and the whole Tianyang City was quiet, and there was an invisible sense of depression that a storm was coming.
Despite this, some figures still appeared from time to time in the city. These people had a vast aura and powerful Taoism. As soon as they entered the city, they went straight to Yunxiao Pavilion. After a whole night, several great cultivators in the late Jindan stage appeared in the pavilion without noticing.
Ye Chunyang never paid attention to this, and still meditated and practiced alone, preventing anyone from disturbing him.
However, just when the sky was getting light, he raised his eyebrows, as if he felt something, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Then he moved his body, opened the door, turned into a virtual light, and flew into the sky, and escaped from the city in an instant.
After about half an hour of shuttling in the white morning mist, Ye Chunyang suddenly stopped, glanced around with his peripheral vision, and then said to the white mist in front of him expressionlessly: "Since Daoyou has led me here, why do you hide your head and show your tail and refuse to show up?"
After the voice fell, there was no response for a long time.
After a long while, the heavy white mist suddenly separated into two paths, and the surrounding things became unusually clear, but strangely, there was no less than half a person.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly. Just when he wanted to do another detection, he suddenly heard a sharp wind in his ears. His face turned cold and he waved his hand to perform a sword trick without thinking too much. The Blue Sky Mysterious Fire Sword roared out like a long dragon, and it grew into a giant sword several feet long and slashed towards a certain place.
With a "whoosh", a yellow light suddenly rose from the place where the sword trick fell, and it quickly avoided the slash of Ye Chunyang's flying sword, and then it seemed to be controlled by someone, and it flew into the air and turned into a flag with mountains and rivers printed on it, which rose in the wind.
This flag suddenly waved, and there was a loud roar in an instant. A series of sharp and amazing winds swept towards Ye Chunyang, and the phantom of mountains and rivers appeared faintly, trying to crush him.
Ye Chunyang saw that this flag was a high-level spiritual treasure with great power. He snorted coldly, and the giant sword shot out rainbow light, spewing out thousands of sword qi circling.
He glanced at the mountain and river flag that released powerful magic power, pointed his two fingers at the sword, and a dazzling sword light appeared in the sky. After several muffled "puffs", the surrounding morning mist was dispersed, and the spiritual energy ejected from the flag was also smashed into pieces by the sword formation, and then dissipated.
"Huh?"
A surprised sound came from an unknown place, and the mountain and river flag trembled slightly, then turned into a faint light and disappeared into the void. At the same time, a figure slowly walked out of the morning mist.
Ye Chunyang's eyes condensed. This person was tall and wore a gold-sprinkled coat. He was intimidating without anger, and his whole body had the aura of a superior.
"Daoyou can have such strength in the middle stage of Jindan. It seems that the recent rumors that Daoyou is the first elder of Feixianmen have been confirmed."
A faint low laugh came, and the tall man's appearance became clearer and clearer, but when Ye Chunyang saw the man's face clearly, a hatred surged from his heart.
This person was the head of the Taoist world, Gu Xuan Daozun.
Ye Chunyang sneered. After a hundred years of separation, this person's cultivation level has indeed reached the level of the Nascent Soul Stage as rumored. He is no less powerful than the Demon Lord Tianxie. Even the Emperor of Lingyun Sect is afraid of him.
If Ye Chunyang hated someone in his life, this Taoist Gu Xuan was one of them.
However, he did not want to reveal his identity at this time, so he regained his composure after the initial fluctuations. He looked at the other party as if nothing had happened and said, "Master Gu Xuan, thank you for your praise. I wonder if you have any advice for me after bringing me here?"
"Haha, Daoyou Ye is a famous figure in Dongzhou recently. How dare I give you advice? I just heard from my disciples that your name is similar to that of an old friend in the righteous way, so I am curious and want to confirm it with Daoyou." Gu Xuan looked at Ye Chunyang with a deep look in his eyes.
"Oh, I wonder if Master Gu Xuan has any results?" Ye Chunyang said without comment, and did not feel any fear because of the other party's cultivation level.
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
After staring at Ye Chunyang for a long while, he nodded and said, "There is indeed a result. I originally thought that you were the reincarnation of that person as a clone, but after fighting with you just now, I am sure that you have nothing to do with that person."
"Doppelgänger? Gu Xuan's headmaster actually has such a guess. I really admire him." Ye Chunyang sneered and said indifferently.
Although he said so, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. Since returning to Dongzhou, countless people have tried to test him, but no one has such a sharp vision as this person, who can think of the matter of clones, but he will not really reveal any clues.
"Don't worry about it, Ye Daoyou. Although the theory of clones is illusory, it really exists. After all, there are not many people with the same name in the world, and your name is so special, I can't help but have some doubts."
Gu Xuan chuckled twice, looked at Ye Chunyang again, and continued: "However, the cultivation and status displayed by Daoyou are very inconsistent with that person, so I will naturally not have any doubts."
Ye Chunyang's face was gloomy and silent.
"In fact, I also have a question to ask, I wonder if Master Gu Xuan can answer it?"
After a while, Ye Chunyang asked expressionlessly.
"Daoyou Ye, please feel free to ask any questions you have." Gu Xuan smiled gently, looking very friendly.
Ye Chunyang chuckled and said: "To be honest, I am very surprised. You two sects of righteousness and evil seem to have always thought that I have some relationship with that person, but I don't know how important that person is to you that you, as the master of a sect, would not hesitate to personally test it."
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised by what Ye Chunyang asked. But after a flash of strange light in his eyes, he returned to normal, smiled and said: "Since Fellow Daoist Ye asked this question, I think you have heard something about the person with the same name as you. This person not only killed the righteous people, but also pretended to be a disciple of Shenxiao Pavilion to enter the cave of the ancient cultivators to collude with the evil way to release the Tianxie Demon Lord, causing chaos in the world. We righteous people have always taken it as our responsibility to uphold justice, and we must naturally eliminate all evil for such evil people."
Uphold justice?
Ye Chunyang sneered in his heart, but did not show any abnormality on the surface.
If these words were said by others, they might be three points credible, but at this moment, he couldn't help laughing.
He looked at Gu Xuan, showing a half-smile, and said: "I see, no wonder the various sects have been looking for trouble with Ye, but the fact is really as the headmaster said, just to catch this person instead of getting anything else from him?"
Gu Xuan's smile suddenly disappeared, staring at Ye Chunyang in silence.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are joking. This person is just a foundation-building cultivator after all. Even if he is not dead, he will not be that strong. I don't care at all. What on him can attract me?"
After a while, Gu Xuan smiled faintly and waved his hand with a sneer.
"Hehe, what Gu Xuan said is reasonable. With your status, there are indeed few other things in Dongzhou that can move you, unless it is some treasures that can make you advance to the Nascent Soul stage. I wonder if what I said is right or not?" Ye Chunyang touched his nose and sneered twice.
It has been a hundred years, and he still remembers Gu Xuan's fatal sword at the seaside of Guixu. The reason why he has been practicing hard in recent years is partly because of the hatred brought by this person.
After returning to Dongzhou, Ye Chunyang had thought about what it would be like to face this person again, but now he is not as afraid as he imagined. It's just that the time is not right now, and he needs to be patient for a while and not expose himself for the time being.
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes after hearing this, his eyes faintly emitted a cold light, and his magic power also surged.
He looked at Ye Chunyang, and his hands behind him flickered with spiritual light, and said with a grim face: "Fellow Daoist Ye seems to have something else to say, but I have plenty of time, I can slowly listen to you explain it."
"Haha, Gu Xuan, you worry too much. I have no other intentions, and I have nothing to do with the person you are talking about. This time I just come to attend the elders' secret meeting on behalf of the sect. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
Ye Chunyang smiled indifferently, bowed and didn't care about Gu Xuan's expression, turned around and flew away into the void.
Looking at his fast-moving light, Gu Xuan's expression flickered, but his hands behind his back gradually relaxed. After a while, he looked at a place beside him and said to himself, "Come out!"
A figure flickered in the white mist, and an old man in white with a cold face slowly appeared. He seemed to be very slow, but in fact he came to Gu Xuan's side in a blink of an eye.
"Master, is this man really not the kid from that year?" The old man in white was the old man surnamed Han. After looking at the disappearing light of Ye Chunyang, he turned his head and asked Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan's face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the distance and keeping silent. After a long time, he shook his head, "It seems that I guessed wrong. This person has profound skills, even I feel that I can't see through him. Such an unfathomable person can never be the kid in the foundation-building period back then."
"In this case, this Ye Chunyang is really amazing. Is it possible that even senior brother is not sure to deal with him?" The old man surnamed Han's face changed several times, and he said in disbelief.
"Hmph! How can I take a mere middle stage Jindan seriously? Even if he has some magical powers, it would be easy for me to kill him." Gu Xuan snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes.
But even so, he looked at the direction where Ye Chunyang left, and a trace of solemnity rose on his face involuntarily.
