Chapter 1417 Li Yan Comes Out of Confinement
"Two seniors, what do you want to do here?"
One of the four middle-aged cultivators in the late Jindan stage saw the other party show up and looked over. He immediately stepped forward and asked in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
Now that the sect has a Huashen cultivator in charge, they are more confident, but Shangguan Tianque is very strict in governing the sect and does not allow disciples to cause trouble outside.
Violators will be severely punished or even expelled from the sect.
Even if the territory of the Pojun Sect has expanded, it is still a small sect and still a fourth-rate sect.
According to the ideas of Shangguan Tianque and the others, no matter when, the Pojun Sect should not make too many enemies, especially since a Huashen cultivator has just appeared, and they should not get carried away.
"Fellow Daoists, please inform Elder Li Yan that Donglin Tingyue of the Donglin Family and Jia Fugui of the Abacus Sect are here to visit!"
The tall woman answered the Jindan cultivator, and her voice was extremely pleasant to the ears.
When the four heard it, they were all shocked.
Donglin Family and Suanpan Sect are both large sects under the Blood Lantern Sect, and they are equal to Pojun Sect, and they are here to see Elder Li.
"Two seniors, please wait a moment!"
…………
In the main hall of Pojun Sect, a handsome young man sat in the middle, looking at the two people sitting down, with a humble smile on his face.
The big black dog was lying on the side of Donglin Tingyue, and did not change into a human form.
After receiving the report from the disciples below, the handsome young man was surprised about Donglin Tingyue's coming, but he was not too surprised.
After all, they have a good relationship with the Donglin Family, and Elder Li has been to the other family before.
And he also knows that the black dog is actually a fourth-level "Dark Blazing Demon Dog". After shrinking its body, it is no different from a local dog.
But Suanpan Sect is far away from his own sect. He has heard of Jia Fugui, but he has never seen him. For a moment, he didn't know how these two people and one demon came together.
However, he soon thought of a rumor. It seemed that in the "Great Fruitless" snatch battle more than ten years ago, several Nascent Soul cultivators came back alive.
At first, everyone only knew the situation in their own sect and could not determine who in other sects had come back alive. But after a while, some things were slowly spread out.
"Did Jia Fugui also participate in the snatch battle of "Great Fruitless" that time and survived? That's how he met Elder Li?"
The handsome young man thought in his heart, but he said it out loud.
"Three fellow Taoists, you came at an unfortunate time. Elder Li has been in seclusion for a long time. I haven't seen him for more than ten years. There has been no news. He may be at a critical juncture in his cultivation. It's inconvenient to disturb him by sending a message."
After the two people and the dog heard the words, Dong Lintingyue and Jia Fugui looked at each other. Dong Lintingyue's eyes showed disappointment at first.
She came to Li Yan for urgent matters, of course, but she didn't expect Li Yan to be in seclusion for a long time. If Li Yan was missing, she would be much less sure.
But after arriving here, the other party was unwilling to pass on the message and directly refused. That would be a bit troublesome for her.
But they didn't just come to the door recklessly. Fortunately, there were other reasons. Maybe Li Yan could still see them. So he gestured to Jia Fugui. Jia Fugui looked up at the handsome young man and smiled.
"Master Yu, we promised Li Daoyou one thing to help him find out some information. He said at the time that once there was news, it would be best to inform him as soon as possible, so..."
Jia Fugui stopped talking here.
The handsome young man at the top was Yu Banjiang. Now he is the master of Pojun Sect, and Shangguan Tianque has become the elder. He no longer needs to deal with various matters in the sect personally.
He will only show up unless something important happens, and usually stays in the back mountain.
Once Ren Yanyu succeeds in becoming a god again, they may put aside more sect affairs. The two of them may either be proud of the mountains and rivers, or continue to practice hard.
Although they also want to reach the realm of refining emptiness, or even merge, they don't know when that will happen. But they can finally relax for a while before they can "hurry up" again.
When Yu Banjiang heard this, his brows furrowed, and his heart moved. <
br>
"It seems that Jia Fugui must have participated in the "Da Wuguo" snatch war, which is why he had an intersection with Elder Li..."
He thought so in his heart, but he continued to speak.
"Elder Li asked the two Taoist friends to inquire about the news, but before he went into seclusion, he had never told others about this matter, this..."
The meaning of his words was very clear, and he couldn't make up a reason just to get Li Yan to come out to see them.
Now that he is the sect master, his master and uncle have already told him anything that needs to be reminded, and it is obvious that Elder Li has not said such things.
However, Yu Banjiang also believed the other party's words 50%, so his attitude was still humble.
Li Yan seldom goes out, and even less often travels far. He knows that he knows Dong Lin Tingyue, but Jia Fugui came all the way here, probably not just to see Li Yan.
But whether the matter he is talking about is as important as the other party says is not certain.
"Master Yu, how can you talk nonsense about such things? I can guarantee it in the name of the Donglin family. Fellow Daoist Li said that he would be notified as soon as there is news about this matter!"
Donglin Tingyue heard this and immediately spoke.
"oh?"
Yu Banjiang had a solemn expression on his face.
…………
"Buzz buzz..."
Continuous vibrations came from a token dropped on the ground, and as the token vibrated, a layer of dust on it rose up one after another, as if it had been dusty for a long time.
Li Yan, who was motionless at first and had his head up to his waist, finally woke up slowly. His body moved slightly at first, then his closed eyes slowly opened.
His eyes were indifferent and dull at first, as if he was still immersed in some kind of realization, but they soon became clear.
Then, his attention was attracted by the continuous "buzzing" sound, and his eyes fell on the ground in front of him, on the token that was constantly flashing red light.
He gently raised his hand, and the token had been absorbed into his palm. As he raised his arm, some dust fell down from the black robe.
During these years of seclusion, in the early days, he was still awake every day because he practiced Qiongqi Purgatory and various exercises.
Moreover, he would go to Tuban from time to time to give the old man in green robe a beating. Let the other person go crazy and start trembling in fear every time he sees him...
But later, after Li Yan took out the "Fuxi Pan" to study it, he slowly immersed himself in it again, until at a certain moment, he fell into a long-term realization.
As he sat there, he lost track of the passage of time. Time seemed to have passed a long time, but it seemed like it was only a moment of glory.
Li Yan was extremely dissatisfied when his enlightenment was interrupted. Now he realizes the power of yin and yang and the five elements, which is no longer as fast as it was at the beginning, so every moment may be a new breakthrough for him.
This is a long process. After so many years, Li Yan still has a lot of insights into the power relationship between yin and yang and the five elements, but he has not been able to verify them one by one.
Looking at the token in his hand, Li Yan's face was gloomy, and his consciousness sank into it. Just a moment later, his body shook slightly, and a bright light burst out in his eyes.
"The two of them came here, is there any news? The two of them came together, so there is news, but... this is a bit unbelievable!
Moreover, the fourth-level ‘Dark Fiery Demonic Dog’ from the Donglin family has also come over. What does this mean? "
The message was sent by Yu Banjiang, which also explained the purpose of the two people and the demon's visit. They said that they were responding to some messages at his request.
Regarding what Yu Banjiang said about the purpose of these two people's coming, Li Yan knew exactly what he was referring to, but he was very strange in his heart. Why did Jia Fugui and Dong Lin Tingyue meet again?
Half a quarter of an hour later, in the hall of Li Yan's cave, Li Yan, dressed in black robe, regained his short hair like a steel needle. After arranging it, he seemed very energetic.
Seeing Yu Banjiang coming with two people and a dog in front of him, he stood up to greet them with a smile on his face.
"The presence of several fellow Taoists really made Li's place flourish.
Hahaha..."
Donglin Tingyue scanned Li Yan's face carefully and found that although Li Yan's aura looked more energetic than before, he was still in the same middle Nascent Soul stage as himself, and his state was still the same.
"Hmph, this guy must have practiced some kind of concealment technique, and he is so good at pretending that even the cultivator of the Transformation God was deceived by him, and he will die!"
After she returned to the family, although she was strictly ordered by Chunyang Hall not to spread the news, she and Li Yan were different. In the end, they revealed some more information to the Supreme Elder and the Second Elder. The three of them were close relatives.
Of course, Donglin Tingyue believed in these two people the most. After analysis by the three of them, they finally agreed that Li Yan was not just a powerful physical cultivator, but was most likely hiding his cultivation.
Under such circumstances, even if it was a sneak attack, it would be a head-to-head collision with a god-transforming monk.
He can make even a god-forming cultivator unable to control his body shape within a breath. At least he is a late-stage Nascent Soul body cultivator. Perhaps only in this way can the explanation be somewhat reasonable.
This is a monk in the late stage of Nascent Soul, and he should have a strength that is infinitely close to that in the early stage of becoming a god.
Therefore, the real combat power of this monk named Li Yan must be quite terrifying, and the sect leader Shangguan Tianque may not even be his opponent.
Therefore, Donglin Tingyue at that time carefully recalled the process of Li Yan's action, and immediately agreed with this guess.
Finally, after getting the true state of Li Yan, she couldn't help but cursed in her heart. This Li Yan was so insidious that even the monks who transformed themselves into spirits fell prey to him.
Fortunately, I was sincere to him, but even in such a life-and-death crisis, the other party would not reveal any details to me, so that I could at least have more confidence and not be afraid to the point of despair.
At the same time, she suddenly thought of her wrist. Under the opponent's hand, the once hot temperature made the pretty face under the mask feel hot...
Because the Donglin family can only barely survive in the fairy world, a fourth-rate sect will still be destroyed at any time.
Donglin Tingyue has sworn since she was a child that she must become a truly strong person in this world and bring her family to at least the level of a second-rate sect.
That was her ultimate dream and the only motivation for her to practice hard.
Therefore, all the love affairs between men and women were suppressed by her. Even if there were young talents in the family who showed interest in her, she always ignored them and directly refused them, cutting off everyone's thoughts.
Moreover, she had already thought in her heart that even if she looked for a Taoist partner in the future, at least she would personally choose one. Not only should she be satisfied with his cultivation and character, but she also wanted the other party to have a good impression of him.
Rather than being the product of a marriage between some forces, her immortal path could only be controlled by herself.
In that "fruitless" snatch battle, Li Yan not only discovered the danger in advance, but also pulled her away and avoided the first wave of massacres.
Later, when she was desperate, Li Yan suddenly appeared, first killing the old woman surnamed He, and then calming down another layer of killing.
Let her heart from despair, a little more hope. Until the end, Li Yan miraculously came back alive from the second floor, completely letting her go from death to life.
All of this has left an indelible mark in Donglin Tingyue's heart. The figure she saw when she was desperate could never walk out of her heart again and could not be shaken off.
Whenever she thought of Li Yan, Donglin Tingyue had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, which made her panic and confused.
But she has been trying to convince herself that everything was only because the other party saved her, so she remembered it deeply.
But in her heart, she has been thinking about what Li Yan told Jia Fugui. Not only did she ask around, but she also asked her clansmen and other people to help ask.
Before coming here today, she was a little confused on the way. It was a feeling of expectation and trepidation.
Before, when she heard that Li Yan would not see guests in seclusion, she felt relieved, but then she felt a sense of loss. It was a sudden change of emotions that only she knew.
At this moment, when she really saw Li Yan, all her emotions disappeared.
"We didn't know that Fellow Daoist Li was in seclusion. We came here so presumptuously. We really disturbed Fellow Daoist's cultivation!"
Seeing that Dong Lin Tingyue only glanced at Li Yan and seemed to be thinking about something, Jia Fugui had to speak immediately.
The black dog also spoke after looking at Li Yan.
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Li!"
This was the first time he spoke after meeting Li Yan several times. It was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"Hello, fellow Daoists. This place is a bit simple. Please sit down. I have been in seclusion for a long time. I may have something to say to Fellow Daoist Yu first. I am really sorry."
Li Yan hurriedly asked several people to sit down.
He also saw Yu Banjiang standing behind him with a smile. He knew that the other party must have something to say to him in private.
"Haha, of course, there are a lot of changes outside now. Fellow Daoist Li can go ahead and do as he pleases. We will talk about our business later!"
Jia Fugui laughed. They also knew from Yu Banjiang that Li Yan had been in seclusion for more than ten years.
If we calculate this way, doesn't it mean that the other party will no longer care about worldly affairs after returning from the "Big Fruitless" snatch battle, and must be ignorant of many things.
Donglin Tingyue smiled and nodded.
Then, Li Yan led Yu Banjiang to the side hall. After about half a cup of tea, the two came out again.
Yu Banjiang bowed to the two people and the demon in the hall, and left.
Li Yan's eyes flickered, as if he was still thinking about the various news he had received, but he had already walked slowly to the main seat.
He didn't expect that Shangguan Tianque would break through the realm and be promoted to the God of Transformation during his retreat.
This master and disciple are both destined and undestined with him. He has never seen the scene of the two people's promotion. They broke through and promoted when he chose to retreat.
Especially Shangguan Tianque's promotion, in fact, it would be very helpful for him to observe. But Ren Yanyu didn't know how far Li Yan had retreated, so it was natural not to disturb him.
And now the sect has also changed, as Banjiang has taken over the position of the sect master.
The rebellion of Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa has also passed. In these years, Chunyang Hall and Lianxin Valley have also experienced seven years of open and secret struggles.
Not only did the Nascent Soul and the God of Transformation die, but even the Lianxu cultivators on both sides also suffered casualties. In the end, even the first-class sects above these two sects intervened.
Tianshan Garden and Fuling Villa only lost peripheral disciples, and finally under the protection of Lianxin Valley, they have re-established new sects there.
Now, the melee led by Chunyang Hall and Lianxin Valley has slowly subsided four years ago under the intervention of the first-class sects, and the matter has been left unresolved, and neither side has gained much.
Overall, Chunyang Hall still suffered some losses due to the loss of two third-rate sects.
After hearing these disappearances from Yu Banjiang, Li Yan thought about it and realized that the final result was reasonable.
That time, due to the conspiracy in Lianxin Valley, two gods died on this side, and two gods were killed by Lianxin Valley, and one was captured.
If they could really crush each other, why would there be such a calculation, and they could just take down the other side directly.
Later, the two sides fought openly, and the result was that with equal strength, which side would be better off?
Afterwards, Yu Banjiang confirmed with Li Yan whether the purpose of these two people and one demon coming here was true?
After getting Li Yan's affirmative answer, although he was also curious about why Li Yan asked outsiders for help, Yu Banjiang was not stupid enough to ask Li Yan the reason.
Another purpose of his coming here in person was that he was afraid that Li Yan didn't know the current situation outside and the changes in the sect, so of course he had to tell him in advance.
In order to avoid that Donglin Tingyue and the others talked about some things, Li Yan would be confused, especially the fact that the master had successfully transformed into a spirit, which must be told to Li Yan.
However, after Yu Banjiang left, he immediately went to report to Shangguan Tianque that Elder Li Yan had come out of retreat.
This Elder Li had not appeared for a long time, and the master often mentioned him. Even though he had successfully transformed into a spirit, every time he talked about this Elder Li, he still respected Li Yan in his words.
