Chapter One Hundred Return to Qing Shan Town

  Ban Yue Zong, a top-notch force in Di Ma City, had eight known martial emperors within the sect by the late Wu Huang period.

  On this day, Banmu Temple was as usual, with the elders lecturing and the disciples listening.

  "Ah! Sixth Elder, what's wrong with you?!"

  At this time, a cry of surprise broke the tranquility of the Half Moon Sect. In front of the sect's gate, a middle-aged man who looked extremely disheveled slowly lifted his head, his face filled with exhaustion, and said: "Quickly, help me inside!"

  If Liu Yidao were here, he would definitely recognize that this person is the only one who escaped with him during the late Wu Dynasty.

  The attendants in front of the sect immediately came forward and supported the six elders into the Half Moon Sect.

  In less than half a month, everyone in the sect except those who were in closed-door cultivation knew that Liu Zong had returned in disarray and couldn't help but discuss it.

  "What was Elder Liu going to do? He's been gone for only two months and yet he returns in such a sorry state." Not many people within the Half Moon Sect knew what Elder Liu's purpose was when he left.

  "It seems that the outside is still too dangerous, even if it's already the late stage of the Martial Emperor's Six Elders, I'm not even at the Martial Emperor level yet, going out would be looking for death!" Some half-month Zong disciples thought immediately.

  In the Half Moon Sect's inner sanctum, in the residence of the six elders, all seven other late-stage Martial Emperors of the Half Moon Sect have gathered here!

  "Lao Liu, what's happened this time?"

  "Aren't you going to the ruins of a martial emperor?"

  On the bed, the six elders coughed lightly and said slowly: "This relic is a trap, a trap set by Luocheng Wuding! Except for me, nearly a hundred people entered that relic, all of whom died... Only a few escaped!"

  "What? That ruin is actually a trap?" The seven of them exclaimed in unison, unable to believe it. Among them, the Third Elder, who had an extremely close relationship with the Sixth Elder, bellowed: "Sixth Elder, brother will avenge you!"

  His face was bright red with rage, and he was about to storm out when the Half Moon Sect's leader, Cui Banyue, said: "What are you doing? Your strength isn't even stronger than Old Six's. Are you going to go get yourself killed?" She then muttered under her breath: "The Wu Ding clan? The City Lord of Luo City? It's actually them!"

  "Master, the hatred of Lao Liu cannot be unreported!" The three elders also knew that they had been reckless, so they said to everyone, and several other elders nodded in agreement. Cui Banyue swept a few people with his eyes and said, "Did I say not to report revenge?"

  At this time, everyone quieted down, and Cui Banyue turned to look at Liu Zhanglao and said: "Old Six, didn't you say that there were still a few people who escaped? Do you know their identities?"

  "I don't know, after entering the ruins, everyone started fighting for the treasure inside, and no one had the mind to chat with others." The old elder continued: "The little princess of the Yu family from Mapo Slope is also here, but the Wuding Sect didn't make things difficult for her, they let her leave early!"

  "Even someone from the Ma Bu Po Yu family has gone!" Cui Ban Yue said calmly. "The Ma Bu Po Yu family is not comparable to the Wu Ding clan, they wouldn't dare to make things difficult for someone from the Ma Bu Po Yu family, let alone their young princess! If something happens to her, the Ma Bu Po Yu family will go crazy!"

  At this time, the old man suddenly said: "Can we unite with the Ma Bu Slope Jade family?"

  "Are you out of your mind, Great Elder?" Cui Banyue furrowed her brow and said: "The Wu Ding clan didn't bully the young princess of the Yu family. As a powerful force like the Yu family of Ma Bu Po, they wouldn't easily take action! That doesn't align with their interests."

  "What should I do?"

  Cui Banyue said, "First let Old Six recover from his injuries, and we'll discuss other matters later. When confronting a power like the Wuding Clan, we must think carefully, or it will be a disaster for our clan!"

  Everyone sighed, they knew the lord was telling the truth!

  The whole half month has been as usual, doing what should be done, but many people feel that a storm is coming!

  Luocheng, Qing Shan Town!

  At this time, Zhou Ying had already returned to the Zhou family. On that day, she followed Yuxin out and Yuxin sent her back to Qingshan Town.

  Everyone in the Zhou family was overjoyed to see Zhou Ying's return, but Zhou Ying herself looked worried and unhappy.

  Zhou Ying spent every day either practicing or waiting for Xu Hua's return. Every day, she would come alone to the entrance of Qing Shan Town, gazing into the distance, expecting Xu Hua's return.

  But day after day, Xu Hua still didn't come back, which made Zhou Ying's expression more and more dull! This made the master of the Zhou family and Zhou Ying's older brother Zhou Xiong very worried.

  Today, Zhou Ying was still waiting. At this time, a bright spot quickly approached from afar. Zhou Ying was overjoyed, thinking it was her brother Hua coming back.

  Whoosh!

  The figure quickly approached, and suddenly he came down. Zhou Ying saw the man's face clearly, it was Luo Cheng!

  " Luo Cheng, where's Elder Hua? Why hasn't he come back?"

  Lu Cheng looked at Zhou Ying, looking at her pale face, and slightly lowered his head, as if something was stuck in his throat, wanting to say but unable to speak.

  At this time, he thought of the young master's instructions again, and slightly moved, saying: "After the young master and I came out, we met his master, and the young master was taken away by his master. He has already left Nanyue and is unlikely to return within three to five years! Before parting, the young master specially instructed me to tell Miss Ying."

  "Ah......!" Zhou Ying heavily patted her chest, revealing a smile, and said: "Scared me to death! I thought something had happened to Brother Hua!"

  "It's all good, Hua Gege has become so formidable in just half a year, his master must be an extraordinary expert! At least stronger than that old man we met the other day!"

  "It's just three to five years, but during this time, Ying'er won't be able to see Huagege anymore. Ying'er is a bit reluctant! However, Ying'er must also cultivate well, otherwise she will become a burden to Huagege!"

  Looking at Zhou Ying muttering to herself, Luo Cheng's heart sank even further. After all, it was a lie, and one day it would be exposed. He didn't dare imagine what would happen on that day when the lie was exposed, how Zhou Ying would...

  Lu Cheng's heart was heavy with grief, and his resentment towards Wu Ding's family deepened. He forced a smile and said to himself: At least it's better than letting Miss Ying know about the young master's death now! At least she still has something to look forward to.

  "Luò Chéng, how did you become so formidable as well? Did you also find a powerful master?" Zhōu Yíng said with a smile while looking at Luò Chéng.

  "Some unexpected encounters, and I've received a legacy from a senior!"

  "By the way, why didn't you go with Hua Gege?" Zhou Ying continued to ask.

  "Gongzi can't put down Miss Ying, let me come back to protect you. Gongzi also entrusted me with some other things! So I stayed!" Luo Cheng continued to fabricate, but when he saw Zhou Ying's pure and innocent eyes, he still dodged and didn't dare to look!

  "Go ahead, you also go tell Uncle Xu about this news! He must be worried too!"

  The two of them immediately headed towards the Xu family's place.

  Since the day Feng Tao and his three men came to offend, everyone in Qing Shan Town knew that Xu's family had a strong man! Strong beyond everyone's imagination. In these days, Xu's family has also changed a lot, such as Xu Chong, the son of the great elder, was directly killed by Xu Lin, and the great elder did not dare to show any resentment!

  In front of the Xufu gate, two guards saw Zhou Ying and a strange young man walking together, and immediately greeted Zhou Ying.

  "Hello Miss Ying!"

  "Is Uncle Xu in?" Zhou Ying asked.

  The two men at the door looked at each other and said, "We don't know anything about the master's affairs. Now all matters in the clan are handled by the Second Elder, Miss Ying can go in to ask him clearly!"

  Zhou Ying took Luo Cheng into the Xu mansion, and along the way, many people greeted Zhou Ying. After all, Xu Lin was now in a prominent position in the Xu family, and Xu Hua's status was also more respected, even Zhou Ying, who had always been on good terms with Xu Hua, was also valued by many people in the Xu family.

  Soon, the two were welcomed into the Xu family's main hall. An old man walked in, who was the second elder of the Xu family.

  "Zhou Ying, what brings you here today? The Third Young Master hasn't returned yet," said the Second Elder.

  "Second Master, you're wrong! Today I'm here for someone else!" said Zhou Ying, pointing to Luo Cheng beside her.

  The two elders immediately looked at Luo Cheng, and from the moment he came in, he had been standing beside Luo Cheng. "Who are you? What brings you to me?"

  "Second Master, he was a book boy taken in by Elder Brother Hua half a year ago. This time he has come to look for Uncle Xu!"

  "Is that so? I do have some impression, but the master is in seclusion. What business do you have with the master?" asked the Second Elder.

  "The master has gone into seclusion!" Luo Cheng was taken aback, and immediately said: "In that case, please trouble the two elders to inform the master that the young master has been taken by his master to cultivate in secret, and will not return for three to five years!"

  "San Shao has found a master? What's been going on for the past half year? What is his master's name? Is he qualified to be San Shao's master?" asked the Second Elder, slightly furrowing his brow.

  Zhou Ying said: "Second Grandfather, you don't know yet, Hua Brother is now a top-notch master in the late stage of Wu Wang. His master must be a powerful martial artist."

  "The three juniors are already in the late stage of Martial King!" The Second Elder was shocked to the point where he almost swallowed his own tongue.

  "Not bad, the young master's teacher is called Qingyun Zunzhe, a powerful loose cultivator. The young master told me to inform the house owner not to worry!" Luo Cheng said calmly, but his heart was actually very uneasy. Originally, he was supposed to inform the house owner of the young master's death, but with Miss Ying present, he could only say this.
