âAre youâŠTingyanâer?â Dong Yang, the former master of the Clear Sky Valley branch of Gengchen Xianfu, was the man in cyan who looked at Liao Tingyan in a daze, not daring to recognize her.
He took a student named Liao Tingyan eleven years ago, who looked like his daughter who died young. At that time, he accepted the child as a student, just for sorrow, and wanted to take good care of this destined disciple. He just didnât expect that his disciple would eventually be involved in such terrible changes.
At that time, he was just a small branch master. Clear Sky Valley was at the junction of the inner and outer gates. It was not a special place to attract attention. So she was chosen to serve Shizu. Although he was uneasy, he couldnât do anything. He just went to inquire a few times, but he couldnât find news of the Three Saints Mountain.
Later, he heard that she was loved by Shizu Cizang, and went out of the Three Saints Mountains with Shizu. Among the hundred high-level inner disciples, she was the only one who was lucky enough to survive. (the girls)
At that time, even Clear Sky Valley flourished for a while, but he felt a trace of dark tide surging, and became more uneasy. He wanted to meet the disciple for some relief, but he couldnât.
Later, he heard that her life lamp was extinguished. She was dead, and some news said that she was still alive. As a master, he felt useless, and couldnât find out about the reality. Moreover, Clear Sky Valley was really uneasy during that time. He wanted to protect the remaining disciples and tried his best to keep them safe.
After that, a huge disaster caused Gengchen Xianfu to fall. As far as the edge of the inner palace, he could see the soaring flames spewing from the center. The thick black smoke almost covered the sky. The sky and the earth moved. The underground spiritual roots shrank and shattered in one day, and the spiritual gardens everywhere were scorched by the flames, withered and fell overnight. Even the nearby spiritual springs and lakes had evaporatedâŠ
In such a disaster, so many people died. The elders and families of the inner palace, the head of the palace, and the strong people who used to be so high, faced such a terrible force, and they were unable to resist death and injury. Those who were still alive fled in a hurry. And these marginal people, as well as the little cultivator and families of the outer palace, all escaped by chance.
It was said that Dao lord Cizang had already been enchanted by demonic cultivation during the closed door cultivation on the Three Saint Mountains, and that was why he slaughtered so many people and ruined the ten thousand years of foundation of Gengchen Xianfu.
Gengchen Xianfu was like a high tower. After losing the top pillars, it collapsed much faster than anyone expected. Other sects that had been oppressed by Gengchen Xianfu for many years rushed up and divided up the remaining forces of Gengchen Xianfu that were still panicking.
At that time, Dong Yang, the Clear Sky Valley Master, resolutely gave up his persistence. He took some resources and some disciples who were willing to follow him to Gu Yuwu where his best friends were. He became Ji Wuduan, a disciple of Gu Yuwu and avoided the most chaotic time.
Nearly ten years had passed. He had almost forgotten the poor disciple who was short-lived.
He didnât expect to suddenly see someone who he thought had already passed away. He got along with this disciple not for a long time, and he didnât know much. Now that they met after a long absence, he didnât know what to say for a while. He was full of emotion in his heart.
Ji Wuduan sighed, and Liao Tingyan was confused. She didnât remember what happened before. She didnât even know who the little brother in front of her was.
He called her disciple⊠was this the original ownerâs master or her master?
Liao Tingyan couldnât help but look at Sima Jiao again. She needed a little help. Boyfriend, say something!
Sima Jiao leaned on one side from start to finish, sitting in the shadow of the room. He restrained his momentum. Ji Wuduan hadnât noticed him. Only when he found his disciple looking over there, he looked over.
Ji Wuduan, who finally saw who was sitting there, knelt down as his legs softened.
He seemed to have returned to the day of the disaster in Gengchen Xianfu. The master ancestor destroyed all and even slaughtered the cultivators, like cutting melons and vegetables. There were many low-level disciples of Gengchen Xianfu. Seeing Shizu, he was shocked by his terrifying murderous and hostile spirit.
After he went to the Demon Realm, his reputation was even more spread in the world of cultivation. Although everyone knew that Gengchen Xianfu was destroyed by him, they did not dare to insult the demon king openly and dared not say anything bad about him. They didnât even mention his name.
Now, this remote, terrifying demon king unexpectedly appeared before his eyes.
Ji Wuduan just felt that his heart was pinched, and he was a little out of breath.
At this moment, the purple-clothed man who was kicked by Liao Tingyan rushed back again, followed by his disciples. He shouted angrily, âJi Wuduan, today I have to kill youâŠâŠâ
Liao Tingyan took a look and was about to dismiss the messenger first, only to find that the leader in purple clothes, the little brother in cyan, suddenly froze, and then knelt down, looking at Sima Jiao. His eyes were straight. He seemed more afraid than everyone else, and his body was constantly shaking.
This person in purple was once a disciple of the main line, and his status was higher than Ji Wuduan, so he also knew better than Ji Wudu what the Dao lord Cizang looked like. In the few days of that disaster, he saw his Master chased and killed by Shizu. His complexion changed drastically and he knelt forward unsteadily.
The others who didnât know what happened, saw this scene and panicked.
Liao Tingyan: ââŠâ Ah, why were they exaggerating?
The boyfriend didnât move, didnât speak, and didnât look at them.
The expression of the person in purple was as if modern people had seen a living Jurassic dinosaur. Liao Tingyan saw him trembling. He finally turned his head in horror and ran away, stumbled and smashed several doors of the attic, which were already broken. The attic was even more shabby.
The people ran away all at once. Seeing how frightened they were, Liao Tingyan wasnât as embarrassed to chase them, so she could only stand where she was and look at Ji Wuduan, who had not yet stood up.
Sima Jiao didnât move either. He didnât even look at the group of people who came and ran. Instead, he put his hands down, sat up a bit, and watched Ji Wuduan for a while.
Ji Wuduan had cold sweat and a pale face. He remembered the rumor that Dao Lord Cizang could see through peopleâs hearts and see all the gloom inside.
Liao Tingyan leaned over, covered her mouth with her hand and asked in Sima Jiaoâs ear, âIs he really my master?â
Sima Jiao hugged her waist smoothly and said, âIt seems to be.â
Liao Tingyan asked again, âThen how good is my relationship with him?â
Sima Jiao: âI donât know.â
Liao Tingyan had a big question mark, âThis is a big deal.â
Sima Jiao added another sentence to her, âHowever, I can see that he is not malicious to you.â
Liao Tingyan understood it. She found over years that the relationship between master and apprentice in the cultivation world was generally the same as the parent-child relationship. Her master should have a good relationship with her.
She squeezed Sima Jiaoâs hand, walked to Ji Wuduan, and helped him up with a more respectful attitude.
Ji Wuduan, who watched his apprentice and the great demon intimately talking: ââŠâ
He was stupefied by Liao Tingyan and he heard her say apologetically, âI am sorry, Shifu, something happened to me. I have amnesia and donât remember you anymore.â
Ji Wuduan: âAh⊠so.â
He actually didnât understand what Liao Tingyan was talking about. He was too shocked and couldnât recover.
The two disciples he brought with him this time limped and followed. The two of them were not high in cultivation. They were beaten into the lake by the person in purple clothes. Now that the person in purple clothes was gone, they were no longer suppressed. They hurried up to find the master, âMaster, whatâs wrong with you?â
The two were Gu Yuwuâs disciples. They had never met Sima Jiao or Liao Tingyan. They could only feel that there was something wrong as the always loving Master was not right, and they were very worried.
Ji Wuduan grabbed the hands of the two disciples, for fear that they might say something wrong and provoke the cruel demon lord. As long as the man had a thought, they would not know what it would be like to die.
When Liao Tingyan saw that her master was so frightened, she coughed, âShifu, were you hurt?â
A young disciple looked at her curiously, âShifu? Why did this Shijie call you Shifu? Did this Shijie help you drive away the people from Baidi Mountain?â
Ji Wuduan looked at Sima Jiao, who was expressionless, and Liao Tingyan who was smiling, and said, âThis was my⊠disciple who was separated a few years ago, your Shijie Liao.â
He said she was a senior sister. After he finished talking about his feelings, he realized that this disciple was at higher cultivation than his own. For a while, he felt that he had given a wrong introduction, but after another thought, she was indeed his disciple. He had never expelled her from his school. No matter how she was, she was naturally still his disciple.
He bit the bullet and introduced her, while looking at Liao Tingyanâs attitude so that he could change his words at any time.
In the end, Liao Tingyan didnât mean to refute. She looked at the two young disciples and said, âSo you are my Shidi.â
