Feng Yun Song had a strong backing from Guang Cheng Mountain and brought them back together to the mountain gate.

  Considering the recent intensification of contradictions with the Great Sun Sacred Sect, in order to be prepared for any eventuality, some of the strong cultivators who came this time from Guangsheng Mountain will stay behind and help Qin Lao together stabilize the Tian Dong Zhou and the situation in East Tang, and respond to the possible retaliatory actions of the Great Sun Sacred Sect.

  After sending off Feng Yunshang, Yan Zhao Ge returned to his own residence, walking and thinking at the same time.

  This time, he has offended the Taiyi Holy Sect badly. Recently, his own strength and potential have been quite impressive, so the Taiyi Holy Sect will likely be keeping an eye on him.

  Moreover, there is also a stern-looking Xiong Hu beside him.

  Yanzhao Song was promoted to Waijia Middle Period Zongshi, and also defeated Xiao Sheng of the late Waijia period. The group of black-clad warriors are no longer following Yanzhao Song's side.

  As guards, they are already unable to play a sufficient role and may instead be implicated, so who will protect whom?

  However, a group of black-clad warriors did not leave Dongtang Kingdom but instead stayed behind, waiting for orders from Yan Zhao at any time.

  Yanzhao Song and Qin Zhanglao's group set off for Lin Yuan City a little later.

  There, Yan Zhao Ge and others saw Lin Yu Rou's body.

  It wasn't until now that Yan Zhao Ge had truly seen Lin Yu Xuan's true appearance, rather than just seeing the original owner of the body's memories like a slideshow.

  As Yan Xu said, the physical injury was completely caused by the initial stage of external Dantian, using the Tuo Lai Palm.

  The purple fire energy is vigorous, spreading throughout the entire body.

  ...also concealed other traces.

  "Beauty is short-lived..." Yan Zhao Song fell silent.

  Coming out from Lin Yuxuan's place, Yan Zhao Ge looked up at the sky: "Ye Jing, has it really come to this?"

  "Hmm, initially in that Cold Pond, he seemed to be injured again. If he continued to use that secret method to heal his wounds, his mind would be severely affected by the secret method."

  "In this way, it is indeed possible to be more violent and more extreme."

  Yanzhao's eyes turned cold: "You really cut yourself off from the world, then I'll personally escort you on your final journey."

  Returning to his residence, Ah Hu beside him said softly: "Young Master."

  Jian saw a silly-looking smile on Ah Hu's face, but actually it was a contemptuous one. Yan Zhao Ge rolled his eyes.

  Along Ah Hu's line of sight, a slender and elegant girl was standing by the roadside.

  "Si Kong's junior sister, have you come out of seclusion?" Yan Zhao Ge asked: "Looking at your appearance, you've successfully broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the realm of a sect master?"

  The girl was indeed Si Kong Qing, with a calm and cool temperament, independent and detached from the world.

  She bowed solemnly to Yan Zhao Ge: "I have benefited a lot from Brother Yan's guidance in the past, and I came here especially to thank you after leaving the pass."

  "I've also heard about Lin Shi Mei's situation, and Yan Shi Xiong has asked us to be more frugal in our mourning."

  Yanzhao Song waved his hand: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

  Having said that, Yan Zhao Song looked her up and down: "Not bad, a 16-year-old young master of the sect is also rare in our school, Si Kong junior sister is indeed ambitious."

  "But don't slack off either, you should know that Meng Wan of the Taiyi Sacred Sect was already a sect master at the age of 15."

  Sī Kōng Qíng's expression was calm and her eyes were firm: "Yes, I know."

  "Not arrogant, not impatient, very good." Yan Zhao Song nodded: "You have a heart for martial arts, your will is firm, so I'm not afraid to hit you. Besides Meng Wu, there's another person in the Great Sun Sacred Sect who also reached the position of sect master before the age of 16."

  "And now she has joined our sect."

  "Hopefully I can have more exchanges with her and learn from each other. I think I will benefit a lot."

  Yanzhao Song looked at her and suddenly smiled: "However, she and Meng Wan are both Taiyin girls, the situation is relatively special. In order to achieve results in the Taiyin trial, the Dajue Holy Sect cultivated them using some shortcut methods."

  "In this way, it is inevitable that the foundation will be unstable in the future, resulting in a slowdown in cultivation progress."

  "But for the sake of Dari Rulai's sacred sect and our own family, even if their cultivation speed slows down later on, it is still much faster compared to themselves, and far surpasses that of most people..."

  Sī Kōng Qíng listened to Yàn Zhāo Gē's words and replied calmly, "Moreover, the Taiyin Crown has an additive effect on the training of Taiyin's daughter."

  "After Meng Wan won the first Taiyin trial, during the year she held the Taiyin crown, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, far surpassing her usual pace."

  "The senior sister of Bi Hai City won against Meng Wan in the second Tai Yin trial, and after grasping the Tai Yin crown, her cultivation also started to rise rapidly."

  Si Kong Qing's eyes were firm and unwavering, without a hint of fluctuation: "Thank you for pointing this out, Brother Yan. I won't slack off."

  Yanzhao Song smiled slightly: "Very good, you have now reached the initial level of Neigang Zongshi. Next is to use the initially refined gaseous energy to open up the acupoints all over your body."

  "After achieving success, it is followed by the middle period of Neigong Zongshi, and then use the Qi of Neigong to temper the internal organs, further strengthening oneself."

  "When you can transform the Qi in your body into an air wall, it is considered to have reached the later stage of internal alchemy. The strength of the body will be greatly enhanced, both offensively and defensively, and prepare for the impact of external alchemy."

  "Step by step, walk steadily on solid ground, I believe you can do it."

  Sī Kōng Qíng nodded: "I will work hard, thank you for your concern, Labor Yan Shīxiōng."

  The two bid farewell, and Yan Zhao Ge watched as Si Kong Qing walked away, remaining silent for a long time.

  Ah Hu came up and smiled foolishly: "Young master, Lin girl just left, you want to eat away Cai Kong girl? This is a bit unkind..."

  Yanzhao song said in a bad tone: "Can't your mind stop thinking about the lower three roads?"

  "Hey, why are you looking at our girl like that?" Ah Hu said with a scowl.

  Yanzhao Song slightly narrowed his eyes: "Perhaps it's my illusion, but after Sicong Qing became the sect master, he seemed to have undergone a transformation, as if he had changed into a completely different person, with earth-shaking changes all over him."

  "Although the gap between a Body Refining martial artist and a Grandmaster is like a chasm in the sky, once crossed, it's a whole new world."

  "But Si Kongqing's change was even greater than that, it's just that this feeling is very vague."

  Ah Hu gazed at the disappearing figure of Si Kong Qing for a long time, then puzzledly said: "Young Master, apart from advancing to Sect Master, I really can't see any other changes in her."

  Yanzhao Song pouted: "Maybe."

  "By the way, I instructed you earlier to have someone follow Zhao Hao, is there any feedback now?"

  "Nothing's happening for now," Ah Hu replied, "and it looks much more peaceful than what you gentlemen said."

  Yanzhao Song nodded: "Continue to stare at them, but don't touch anyone from East Tang."

  Yanzhao Ge put aside other things for the time being and returned to his residence, taking out the nine-treasured ice gourd he had obtained from Qin Lao.

  This thing was originally used to preserve other items, especially some spiritual herbs and medicines.

  Some elixirs will quickly lose their spiritual energy and become useless once they are picked, but with the Nine Treasures Ice Gourd, this can be prevented.

  Yanzhao Song pulled out the plug from the calabaza mouth and then took out the jade sealed with the soul of the ice dragon bone.

  The power of Binglong's bone soul has been absorbed by Yan Zhao Ge, and at this moment, Yan Zhao Ge is absorbing the essence into his body once again.

  Under the nourishment of Binglong's bone soul essence, Yan Zhao's song body continuously circulated and transformed it into his own use.

  With the help of Wuji Tian Shu, Yan Zhao Ge was able to accomplish this magnificent feat that even a master martial artist would find difficult to achieve, thereby accelerating his own improvement in martial arts.

  However, this time, Yan Zhao Ge had one hand pressing on the Nine Treasure Ice Gourd while practicing.

  The essence of the ice dragon shuttles back and forth between the Jingyu, Yan Zhao song body and the gourd.

  Gradually, the cold air of the Nine Treasures Ice Gourd grew thicker and thicker, and a faint dragon's hum could be heard coming from inside the gourd.

  A white dragon shadow faintly appears on the surface of the gourd.

  Yanzhao Song smiled: "Ice Dragon Roar shot, succeeded."
