Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

In the secret room of Qingyun Sect, the conversation between Elder Xuanbing and Su Tianyu echoed in this quiet place.

Although Lin Fan has not shown any signs of returning to Qingyun Sect, Elder Xuanbing knows that safety is always more important than regret.

Although the activation of the mountain protection formation is extremely costly, it is the only guarantee that Qingyun Sect can rely on when facing such a powerful enemy.

As Elder Xuanbing's order was issued, the entire Qingyun Sect began to move.

Outside the secret room, the stars twinkled. In the night, the busy figures of Qingyun Sect's disciples could be seen one after another. They were either carrying spirit stones or arranging formations. The entire sect was filled with a busy and orderly scene.

The activation of the mountain protection formation requires the joint efforts of many masters in the sect, and the consumption of spirit stones is an enormous number.

Su Tianyu is responsible for coordinating all of this, and his presence can be seen in almost every corner of Qingyun Sect.

Every time he saw those high-quality spirit stones being consumed, his heart couldn't help but tighten, but when he thought of Elder Xuanbing's words, he would become firm again.

"If you don't have spirit stones, you can go and earn some. But if you lose your life, then you'll have nothing."

Su Tianyu repeated this sentence in his mind over and over again, and it became his creed in the past few days.

At the same time, Lin Fan was thousands of miles away and had no idea of ​​Qingyun Sect's actions.

Lin Fan's mind was entirely focused on how to improve his own strength, and he was completely unaware of Qingyun Sect's fears and preparations.

As time passed, Qingyun Sect's mountain protection formation was finally fully activated.

The entire sect seemed to be wrapped in an invisible barrier, and any foreign enemy attempting to break in would be met with a powerful counterattack.

There is a peaceful atmosphere inside and outside the sect and between the mountains.

Elder Xuanbing stood at the highest point of the sect, looking at the Qingyun Sect protected by a large formation. Although he felt a little peace in his heart, he was more worried about the unknown.

He knew that in this world, there were always some forces that were difficult for them to predict and resist. And Lin Fan was undoubtedly such a force.

However, what Elder Xuanbing didn't know was that during the time when they were fully preparing for defense, Lin Fan's strength had quietly made a qualitative leap.

When Lin Fan appears on the Ancient Continent again, he will no longer be the young man that Qingyun Sect can easily deal with.

Whether Qingyun Sect’s arrangement can really withstand Lin Fan’s challenge in the future remains an unknown.

After arranging everything in Yunxiao City,

Ximen Zhi activated the teleportation array that had been arranged in advance.

As the last trace of energy fluctuations in the teleportation array dissipated,

Lin Fan and his companions appeared out of nowhere in the center of the Jinque Mountain Villa.

This is one of the few places where they can rest in peace in this turbulent ancient continent.

The surrounding scenery is peaceful and beautiful. The air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the fresh scent of earth, which makes people feel relaxed.

Jin Buk, a warrior who has always been known for his tenacity and bravery, has fully recovered under Zhong Ling'er's careful care.

His face regained its former rosy color, and the light in his eyes was sharper than before.

Seeing Lin Fan and the others coming back, he immediately came up to them excitedly and asked them a lot of questions.

"Lin Fan, did you encounter any danger when you went out this time?"

Jin Buke asked with concern, his eyes swept over Lin Fan and the other two, as if looking for any injuries.

"Jiang Shuiling, Ximen Zhi, are you all okay? How are things going in Yunxiao City?"

He turned to Jiang Shuiling and Ximen Zhi and asked with concern.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry.

"Everything has been arranged, and the matter of Yunxiao City has been resolved satisfactorily. Now, we can have a good rest here for a while."

Jiang Shuiling and Ximen Zhi also nodded.

Although they experienced many hardships during this operation, they finally completed the mission successfully.

Now that I am back at the Jinqueshan Villa, I feel extremely relaxed and satisfied.

Zhong Ling'er also came over at this time, her eyes full of concern, looking at everyone and said: "Now that you are back, you should have a good rest. In the past few days, I have asked people to prepare your favorite food and fresh herbal baths to help you relieve your fatigue from the journey."

Under Zhong Ling'er's arrangement, everyone came to a warm and comfortable hall.

The table was filled with a variety of delicacies, exuding tempting aromas that made people's mouths water.

And those fresh herbal baths were prepared in the backyard of the villa, steaming with hot air and emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

The night at the Jinque Mountain Villa was starry, as if adding a layer of mystery to Lin Fan and his friends' discussions.

After the herbal bath, everyone felt relaxed, but when the news about Wu Tieshan and Xiao Fengjian was mentioned, the atmosphere became solemn again.

"The rules of Yan State are indeed a big problem for us."

Lin Fan said in a deep voice, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Wu Tieshan has a straightforward personality and his style of doing things is very easy to attract attention. In a place like Yan State, if he doesn't hide it, I'm afraid he will soon attract unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Shuiling sighed softly, her brows slightly furrowed: "The same is true for Xiao Fengjian. Although he is more low-key than Wu Tieshan, the situation in Xia Country is also complicated. We have no news about them at all, which is really worrying."

Jin Buke frowned, obviously worried. "Not only that, the control of cultivators in Yan and Xia countries has become increasingly strict in recent years. Any foreign cultivators will be closely monitored. If Wu Tieshan and Xiao Fengjian want to set up a branch there, it will be very difficult."

Everyone fell into deep thought. This kind of cross-border action involved not only the confrontation of power, but also many considerations such as regional culture, policies and regulations.

Lin Fan also had mixed feelings. He was born in Yan State and knew everything there, but because of this, he understood even more the difficulty of doing things in Yan State.

"We need more information."

Lin Fan finally broke the silence, “Whether it’s Yan or Xia, we need someone to investigate the true situation.

Only when we have enough information can we make the right judgment.”

"I agree with Lin Fan."

Ximen Zhi said slowly, with a hint of firmness in his voice.

"I can temporarily leave Jinque Mountain and go to Xia Country. Although I am not good at stealth and reconnaissance, I can use the teleportation array to cover myself. I am confident that I can find Xiao Fengjian and understand the true situation of Xia Country."

Lin Fan nodded. He knew that Ximen Zhi's strength should not be underestimated. Having him personally take action would indeed increase the chances of success.

"Then I'll leave the affairs of Xia State to you. As for Yan State..." His gaze turned to Jin Buke.

Jin Buk stood up without hesitation: "I will go to Yan State. I am very familiar with it. Although the assassins of Yan State have been paying attention to my movements, I am confident that I will not be easily exposed. Moreover, I think I have a way to find Wu Tieshan."

Looking at their determined eyes, Lin Fan felt a warm current in his heart.

At this moment, he deeply felt the strength and trust of the team.

"That's settled then. We will split up. But remember, safety comes first. If you encounter any danger that cannot be resolved, retreat immediately."
