A golden elixir elder who possesses a magical weapon and has considerable fighting power. The disappearance of Mei Qingfeng makes people feel a little surprised.

He didn't wait at the teleportation array, and he didn't go to Daofeng Mountain. Could it be that he had returned to the sect?

You must know that the two elders who went to Daofeng Mountain this time were tasked with leading their disciples and guarding their disciples. Even if they encountered an accident on the way, they should continue to Daofeng Mountain after solving the trouble.

In the canyon where the teleportation array is located, the disciples are waiting for the second teleportation.

Tang Hongye's complexion became not so good.

Mei Qingfeng's resignation without saying goodbye clearly meant that he didn't take Tang Hongye seriously.

With a cold snort, Tang Hongye ordered his disciples to take out the spirit stones and prepare to start the teleportation.

A teleportation consumes a lot of spiritual stones, and it takes a while to prepare. This is especially true for larger and farther teleportation arrays.

Ji Qingyao has already replaced her new prosthetic leg, and it is difficult to see her physical defects from her appearance. Ji Guxuan went to Yunji to express her gratitude, generously called her brother, and even vaguely revealed his intention to betroth his sister to Yunji. This shows that this person is wooing Yunji.

Extreme thoughts are so strong.

While Yunji was talking to Ji Guxuan, he absently looked at the cliff on one side of the canyon.

There is a ditch about a hundred feet long on the cliff, which is very spectacular from top to bottom.

Ji Guxuan followed Yunji's gaze and said, "Brother Yun, do you like the scenery here?"

Yun Jidao: "Based on Brother Ji's estimation, how much strength is needed to build such a large mountain ditch."

Ji Guxuan thought for a while and said: "Nearly a hundred feet long and more than ten feet deep. It is not easy to create such marks on a solid cliff. From my point of view, the master of my Seven Swords Sect used the Zhe Lei Sword with all his strength.

How could he have such power?"

Yunji nodded and said: "The peak of the golden elixir and the power of the magic weapon. It seems that the fierce battle not long ago was much more intense than expected."

Ji Guxuan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the mountain ditch again, and said: "Are you saying that the mountain ditch was caused by Elder Mei's fight with a powerful enemy?"

Yun Ji said: "It's just a guess, I'm not sure, but that crack didn't exist before."

Yunji could tell the difference in environment at a glance. The huge cracks on the mountain appeared recently and there were absolutely none yesterday.

In other words, Mei Qingfeng or others carved terrifying ditches on the mountain during the battle, which shows how dangerous that battle was.

Not only did Yunji discover the difference, Tang Hongye also identified that the ditches in the mountain were caused by magic weapons. He stood up, took his sword into the air, and landed on the top of the canyon to look around.

Tang Hongye's eyebrows were always furrowed and she said nothing.

Not long after, the teleportation array was opened and everyone returned to the sect.

Yunji didn't see the situation outside the canyon, but it could be seen from Tang Hongye's twisted eyebrows that it was probably in ruins.

Based on Yunji's guess, Mei Qingfeng must have encountered a strong enemy and moved the battlefield outside the canyon in order not to destroy the teleportation array.

As for the outcome of that battle, it became clear after returning to the sect, because Wuchen Peak appeared at the mountain gate, and the huge stone man was walking slowly.

The appearance of Wuchen Peak means that Xianchen Sword has returned and its owner Mei Qingfeng has returned.

As for why he returned to the sect early without waiting for the large army, it is unknown. Maybe it was because he had a weird temper or he didn't get along with Tang Hongye.

Although it was good news that Mei Qingfeng was safe and sound, Yunji, Yu Jingwan and others learned a bad news after returning to Ice Soul Peak.

Wen Hongcai died.

The old man sitting cross-legged on the ice floe was not breathing, leaving only a cold corpse, wrapped in cold air.

Beside the cold pool, the six remaining true descendants of Ice Soul Peak stood silently.

The elder sister burst into tears.

Everyone choked.

Except for Yun Ji, who finally became a disciple, Yu Jingwan, Qin Wu and others all received careful guidance from Wen Hongcai. The old man had no temper and liked to laugh and drink all day long. He was famously easy-going in the Seven Swords Sect.

Since sitting in the cold pool, Wen Hongcai has not drank a drop of wine.

It's not that he doesn't want to drink, but that he wants to use his remaining strength to suppress the sealed fish and dragon sword.

The seventh sword, Ichthyosaurus, is very different from the other six swords. This sword is extremely fierce, like a ferocious beast. If you cannot control it, it will hurt people.

Even after his death, Wen Hongcai still did not forget to suppress the Fish Dragon Sword. The ice floe he sat cross-legged on was an obvious seal, used to imprison the magic weapon at the bottom of the pool.

After the death, the old man froze his body with the floating ice, and used the spiritual power remaining in the corpse to strengthen the seal.

Because he knew that once the Yulong Sword lost control, other elders would come to collect it.

For the inheritance of Bingso Peak, I will fight until death...

When a cultivator dies, there is no grand funeral. Death is like a lamp going out. It is not easy to have a whole body left on the cruel path of cultivation.

Yunji took out two jars of strong wine and slowly poured one of them into the pool.

"Well done, Master."

Yunji raised another altar, raised his head and took a big sip, then handed it to the senior sister.

Yu Jingwan held back tears and took a sip, followed by Qin Wu, Ni Fu, Qing Luo Xi Yun and Yun Fengpi.

After the farewell drink, it was time to erect the tombstone.

Wen Hongcai's body was frozen together with the ice floating, and it was difficult to move it until the fish and dragon recognized its owner, so they could only build an empty tomb on the top of the peak. When the disciples of Bingpo Peak collected the fish and dragon sword, they would move the old man's body.

Buried.

While Qin Wu and others were busy working on the tombstone, Yu Jingwan kept kneeling beside the Tan, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Yunji stayed by his side silently for a long time until sunset.

"Master, you shouldn't die so early."

The whisper of the clouds comes with the night, very light and very deep.

Yu Jingwan slowly raised her head, looked at Wen Hongcai's body with red and swollen eyes, and said: "After checking, the master has no wounds and there was no fighting around him. He should have died after exhausting his lifespan."

Yunji shook his head slightly.

Not long ago, he checked Wen Hongcai's pulse and concluded that the old man's final time was still a year and a half away. He was already dead in less than half a month, which was a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.

Yunji's medical skills were inherited from his seventh uncle. Although he is not as good as the famous doctors in the world, it is estimated that the death date of an old man is definitely not much different.

In Yunji's eyes, there was something fishy about Wen Hongcai's death.

Especially the timing of death.

On the day of mountain viewing, all the disciples of Bingpo Peak went out, leaving only a few cooks on the entire mountain.

Someone did something to hasten Wen Hongcai's death. This was Yunji's guess.

There is no demonic energy beside the cold pool, so it should not be the work of the demonic shadow. If the demonic shadow really wanted to kill Wen Hongcai, he would have done it the last time he got close, so why wait until now.

Based on Yunji's inference, the most likely person is one of his own within the Seven Swords Sect.

And this person must be related to Qiu Tianyun who came back from the dead and Ye Tan who was disguised as Pi Li.

The real mastermind seems to be unable to hold himself back...

What is his purpose? Who will benefit after Wen Hongcai dies?

Yunji deduced it using conventional thinking, but he couldn't figure out the key at all.

Because it stands to reason that if an elder of a line dies, the person who will benefit the most is the first disciple of this line. Not only can he inherit the magic weapon and spirit stone, but he can also pass on the identity of the elder of the line.

Yunji never doubted Yu Jingwan.

Not to mention that the senior sister went to Daofeng Mountain with her, and there was no time to do anything. Yu Jingwan was a foundation-building true disciple. It was impossible for her to control Pi Li or Qiu Tianyun who were pretending to be Ye Tan.
