Chapter 211 Fate

After a long time.

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that our fate was due to the picture book I read when I was a child. This fate is really wonderful." Yuan Ming didn't expect Xiying to look at him differently for this reason, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Who is destined to be with you." Xiying cursed softly, and with a wave of his hand, a series of yellow array patterns quickly formed a magic array.

A dazzling yellow light flashed, and Xiying's figure disappeared.

The beauty disappeared, and there was still a faint fragrance floating between the wings of her nose.

He suddenly remembered something and looked down at his right hand.

He still had a book in his hand, which he forgot to return to Xiying.

"I'll return it to her when we meet in the future." Yuan Ming said to himself, and just as he was about to put away the book, his brows suddenly frowned.

There was a hard feeling inside the book, as if something was clamped.

He opened the book, and there was a thin gray jade slip clamped between the last two pages.

Yuan Ming took the jade slip, probed into it with his spiritual consciousness, and his body stiffened slightly.

The jade slip contained the subsequent practice of the Dark Moon Art, the formulas from the fourth to the sixth level.

His Dark Moon Art had just broken through to the third level not long ago. The more he practiced, the more he could deeply appreciate the power of the Dark Moon Art. He was very eager for the subsequent practice, but Xiying gave it to him directly.

"Brother Yuan, what are you doing here alone?" Wu Lu said.

Yuan Ming was shocked. He didn't know when Wu Lu had come close to him. He suddenly found that there was only a jade slip in his hand, and the painting book was missing.

He just met Xiying, and he didn't know whether it was an illusion or reality.

"Wulu, you appeared so suddenly, I was shocked." Yuan Ming put away the jade slip and said calmly.

"Brother Yuan, were you thinking about Xiao Ying just now, and you were lost in it." Wu Lu laughed.

"Brother Wu Lu is really a wise man." Yuan Ming also laughed.

"Young people should dare to think, dare to do, and dare to take responsibility. I support you." Wu Lu laughed.

"How do you support me?" Yuan Ming said.

"Do you want me to sneak into the Xiao family to find out for you?" Wu Lu said in a low voice.

"How much does it cost?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Five thousand spirit stones and a top-grade magic weapon?" Wu Lu said.

"I can't afford this. What about Ma Xingkong?" Yuan Ming said.

"Brother Ma has left and returned to Jin State. He asked me to say goodbye to you. Brother Yuan has something to do with him?" Wu Lu asked.

"Nothing. The matter of Biluo Cave is over. I wanted to say goodbye to Brother Ma before I left. I wonder what Brother Wu Lu is going to do?" Yuan Ming said.

"I have completed the task assigned by the family this time. It is rare to have a long period of free time. I want to go around and have a good trip. I will go to Black Rock City in a few days, and then go to the East Region of Southern Border, and then I want to see the sea. I am almost fifty years old and have not seen the sea." Wu Lu sighed.

"Okay, then see you again if we are destined to." Yuan Ming said so.

After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye.

The scattered alliance has no restrictions on temporary members. They can stay or leave at will. Yuan Ming left directly from the gate of Biluo Cave and went straight into the dense forest of Shiwan Mountain.

After a while, Yuan Ming came to a mountain stream, scooped up the cool stream water to wash his face, and turned to face behind him.

"You have followed me all the way, can you show yourself now?"

The jungle behind him parted with a "rustle", and a tall and upright figure walked out. It was Long Hao who showed his might in the previous battle to attack the mountain.

"It turned out to be Senior Long Hao." Yuan Ming was surprised and bowed.

"Are you Yuan Ming?" Long Hao's voice was like a bell, and he looked at Yuan Ming while speaking.

"Yes." Yuan Ming said frankly.

"Did you write this letter?" Long Hao took out an envelope from his arms. There was no signature on it, only a cat's paw mark.

Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.

Back then in the Ten Thousand Mountains, after he and the Man-Xiao King Longxi reached a consensus, he wrote this letter according to Longxi's last wish and told his people about his experience.

"Since you wrote the letter, you should have buried my son's body. Take me there." Long Hao said.

"Senior, follow me." Yuan Ming had no intention of hiding anything and ran in one direction.

Half a day later, the two came to the valley where Yuan Ming buried the head of the Man Xiao King.

"The people of Biluo Cave were very strict that day. I didn't have time to take away Brother Longxi's body. I could only take his head. Please forgive me." Yuan Ming took Long Hao to Longxi's grave and said.

Long Hao didn't say anything. Looking at the tombstone without words in front of him, his tall body suddenly became a little hunched, and his hands and feet trembled slightly.

Yuan Ming sighed and quietly retreated to the outside of the valley.

After a long time, Long Hao walked out of the valley, his expression had returned to calm, and he said: "Thank you, friend Yuan, for burying my son. I wonder what reward you want?"

Yuan Ming had promised Long Xi to take the risk to write that letter, and Long Xi promised Yuan Ming a promise on behalf of his family, which was already stated in the letter.

"Thank you, senior Long Hao, for your kindness, but I don't want any reward." Yuan Ming said.

"Okay, you already know the location of my clan, you can come at any time, this is a pass token." Long Hao took out a dark golden token with the word "dragon" written on it. Long Hao's family seemed to be a special existence in the southern border cultivation world.

"Thank you, senior." Yuan Ming took the token and bowed his hands to thank him.

Long Hao was in a low mood, collected his son's remains, and turned away without saying much.

"Yuan Ming, senior Long Hao, please stay." A green falcon flew over and landed nearby.

A figure jumped down, it was Fang Ge.

"Brother Fang Ge, I'm so glad you're okay, why are you here?" Yuan Mingxi said.

Long Hao also looked at Fang Ge, his face showing confusion.

"I am ordered by Grandmaster Li Zhui and the Third Cave Master to invite you two to attend their dual cultivation celebration." Fang Ge took out two big red invitations and handed them to Yuan Ming and Long Hao.

The Third Cave Master's dual cultivation ceremony! I have never heard that she has a Taoist partner. Who is this Li Zhui? Yuan Ming had a vague guess in his heart.

"Senior Li Zhui! Is he still alive?" Long Hao was surprised and his voice was so loud that Yuan Ming couldn't help but look sideways.

"Of course, please be sure to honor me." Fang Ge said.

"Senior Li Zhui was very kind to me back then. I will naturally attend his dual cultivation ceremony." Long Hao said immediately.

"I naturally cannot be absent from the Third Cave Master's ceremony." Yuan Ming said.

"Okay, please get on the falcon." Fang Ge said.

The green falcon quickly took off and flew towards the Biluo Cave, and arrived not long after.

The gate of Biluo Cave was deserted. No one was seen, whether it was the captured Biluo Cave disciples or the members of the Dawn Breaking Alliance.

Not long ago, there were shouts and screams here, but now it was silent, which made people sigh.

The green falcon swooped down and landed in a secluded valley near Huolian Peak.

Yuan Ming had been here before. It was where the fisherman lived. This valley was shrouded in thick fog and the situation inside could not be seen.

This place confirmed Li Zhui's identity.

The falcon flew straight into the valley and made a slight cracking sound when passing through a certain void, as if it passed through something.

Yuan Ming's eyes blurred, and all the fog disappeared. The quiet valley in the past appeared in front of him again.

He looked back and realized that the valley was shrouded in illusion restrictions, so it was foggy when viewed from the outside.

The green falcon landed on the ground, and the three jumped down and came to the thatched cottage where the fisherman lived.

Many houses were newly built in the valley, and they were hung with red silk lanterns. It was quite festive. Many people were busy here, all disciples of Huolian Hall. Yuan Ming looked happy.

Seeing Yuan Ming, the disciples of Huolian Hall were also very happy to meet each other again after the disaster.

The three of them came to a large courtyard deep in the valley. There were more than a dozen banquets here. In addition to the disciples of Huolian Hall, there were some unfamiliar faces here. They should be the friends of the Third Cave Master and Li Zhui.

At this time, the Third Cave Master was wearing a red robe, and the old man Yu Weng, who was also wearing red, was entertaining guests.

"It's Yu Weng." Yuan Ming said secretly.

Fang Ge arranged Yuan Ming and Long Hao to sit at a table, and the Third Cave Master and Yu Weng came over soon.

"Senior Li Zhui, I didn't expect you are still alive." Long Hao stood up and said.

"Friend Long, speaking of it, I'm afraid you haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years. It's great that friend Yuan Ming can also come." Yu Weng warmly welcomed Long Hao and Yuan Ming.

The Third Cave Master and Long Hao were not familiar with each other.

"Why did you two come together?" Yu Weng said.

"It's a chance meeting. I still owe a favor to friend Yuan." Long Hao said.

"Third Cave Master, congratulations on your wedding today. Please accept this jar of sake." Yuan Ming took out a jar of wine that he had wanted to send to Yu Weng and handed it over.

"You are thoughtful, but Biluo Cave no longer exists, so there is no need to use the old name. Just call me Ling Songhua." The Third Cave Master took the wine with a smile.

"Yes, Senior Ling." He followed suit.

"My friend not only has good opportunities, but also has a delicate heart." Yu Weng smiled.

"My chance is that Senior Ling took me in, otherwise I don't know where I am now. Congratulations to the two seniors again." Yuan Ming said, and bowed respectfully to Ling Songhua and Yu Weng.

The two helped Yuan Ming up.

Then, Yu Weng and Long Hao went to the side to reminisce about the past.

The auspicious time has arrived.

The dual cultivation ceremony of immortal cultivators is not much different from the marriage in the secular world, except that Ling Songhua and Yu Weng are both Jindan-stage cultivators who have practiced for more than a hundred years. Their earthly parents have long passed away, so they skipped the steps of three kneelings and nine kowtows. Both parties worshiped the heaven and earth and drank a cup of wedding wine in public, which was considered a ceremony.

Yuan Ming felt very comfortable with the disciples of Huolian Hall. During the dinner, everyone talked about someone who had committed a lot of evil and received retribution, and some were sad for the brothers who died this time. Everyone drank very happily that night and were all happy to be relieved.

After the dinner, Yuan Ming said goodbye and left.

"Yuan Ming, Master, please don't leave yet, wait for her in the side hall." Fang Ge stopped Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming vaguely guessed the purpose of Ling Songhua's keeping him, and followed Fang Ge to a nearby hut.

Half an hour later, Ling Songhua came late and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's okay. Senior Ling is very happy today, so he has a lot of things to do. I have nothing to do, so it's okay to wait for a while." Yuan Ming said.

"When did you join the Dawn Breaking Alliance?" Ling Songhua sat down and asked directly.

Yuan Ming was stunned. He didn't expect Ling Songhua to think that he had joined the Dawn Breaking Alliance. He didn't know how to explain it for a while.
