Burning Xiang Valley, Tian Xiangju.

A quiet place deep in the Burning Xiang Valley is built close to the mountains, surrounded by towering walls on three sides, and only the main entrance is covered, making it impossible to see the scene inside.

Even though there has been no major changes in Fenxiang Valley, there are still no disciples from Fenxiang Valley nearby, because this is the residence of Yun Yilan, the master of Fenxiang Valley, and it is also his retreat.

Almost three hundred years ago, after Yun Yilan began to retreat, all disciples of Fenxiang Valley were forbidden here. Of course, the disciples of Fenxiang Valley were naturally defending like iron walls. In addition to Shangguan Ce, who had been deeply relied on by Yun Yilan, only his personal disciple Li Xun could enter and meet his mentor.

As for other elders, such as Lu Shun and others, they are also forbidden to enter and exit.

Even sixty years ago, the Xuanhuo Hall of the Fenxiang Valley was sneaked into and released the nine-tailed Heavenly Fox that had been suppressed for nearly three hundred years. Yun Yilan never came out of seclusion, but just asked Shangguan Ce to take charge of the overall situation.

In a sense, in the past few hundred years, the valley master of the Burning Incense Valley was actually Shangguan Ce! Someone even privately joked that Shangguan Ce was the "Master of Shangguan Valley". Of course, this guy who didn't use his brains was finally killed by Shangguan Ce's hands. The charge was "arbitrariness", which can be said to be extremely cool.

After this battle, no one dared to make such jokes again. The disciples of Fenxiang Valley also admire Shangguan Ce's "loyalty and righteousness". But in Shangguan Ce's deep heart... do you really think so?

The sky gradually became brighter. Shangguan Ce gently pushed open the door in the slightly wet air in the early morning, walked in, and closed the door.

What appeared in front of him was a small courtyard that he had already been familiar with. Several Bodhi trees were shaking the branches gently in the morning breeze. Except for a path in the middle, there was green grass around it. Apart from that, nothing was left.

The leader, one of the three major giants in the world, seems to be so simple to live.

At the end of the trail, there is a two-in-one cottage with white tiles and gray walls. It is built against the mountain. The door made of paulownia wood is painted purple, which is also hidden. Shangguan Ce walked in, pushed the door open, and then closed it.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if the troubles of the world were locked outside the door by raising their hands.

There was no one in the room, only a few simple pieces of furniture, and there seemed to be a thin dust. Shangguan calmed down and walked straight to the inner room. He came to a cabinet, opened the drawer on the left, and reached into it, and seemed to move something. After a moment, a low voice sounded behind him.

The entire wall slowly retreated to the right, revealing the hard rocks on the mountain walls and the secret passage that only allows one person to walk out.

Shangguan Ce walked in without hesitation. Shortly after, his figure disappeared into the secret passage, the door slowly closed, and there was no trace of it.

In the secret passage, there will be pebbles that will shine at the size of pebbles for lighting. And he will not feel any frustrated while walking, so there is naturally another ventilation channel here.

The secret passage was not long, and he soon walked to his destination. A stone room that was about the size of the inner room outside just now. The stone room was empty, but there was a screen that was horizontally located in the middle, blocking his gaze.

Suddenly, an extremely old voice came from behind the screen: "Is it Junior Brother Shangguan?"

Shangguan Ce walked forward two steps, stopped four or five steps away from the screen, and said respectfully: "That's right, senior brother, are you in good health?"

The sound seemed to be Yun Yilan, the master of the Burning Valley Valley, who was famous all over the world. For some reason, the Giant Qingqing, who was as famous as the Xuan Zhenren of Qingyun Sect and Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple, sounded almost like a dying old man with dissipated energy and insufficient energy.

He seemed to laugh softly and said lightly: "My body? Is it okay? Let's just do it, just wait for death."

Shangguan Ce lowered his head, but his expression was sneering: Waiting for death? I have been waiting for three hundred years but still not dead? Humph!

Speaking of which, three hundred years ago, Yun Yilan, who was the best in the Burning Xiang Valley, suddenly became possessed by the devil... This once caused great panic among the Burning Xiang Valley. After all, since Yun Yilan started, he has always been famous for his diligence and courage. Even after fifty years after he started, he was trained by the previous valley master as his heir.

It is worth mentioning that although Shangguan Ce calls Yun Yilan a senior brother, he started out a full 60% earlier than Yun Yilan. However, the path of cultivation is entirely based on cultivation. Senior qualifications are only useful when the two are generally equal in cultivation. But what often makes people feel disappointed is that some talented genius will deeply doubt the value of their existence.

For example, He Xu, Lu Xueqi, Lin Jingyu, Fa Xiang, Li Xun of this generation...or the previous generation, Dao Xuan, Pu Hong, Wan Jianyi, and of course, Yun Yilan.

It's gone far.

After Yun Yilan was rumored to be in a devil, everyone thought that his practice was almost ruined, and he himself kept sitting in the air since then. For a while, many people even thought that he was dead.

But surprisingly, Yun Yilan not only did not die, but he could always improve his cultivation every time he broke through the barrier. However, his appearance... was getting older and older.

You should know that people who practice cultivation often have their faces forever. For dozens or hundreds of years, they may not be able to see much changes in their appearance. Some people who are good at maintaining their faces are even young and strong after death.

Only some people who have flaws in their mood or skills will age quickly. For example, some people grow old overnight because of excessive sadness. Or some people have a wrong appearance, and their appearance will change from their prime to their twilight years. All these things are different.

Therefore, Yun Yilan's cultivation has improved greatly, but his appearance has become increasingly old, which has confirmed the rumor that he is "being possessed". Everyone has an account in their hearts: Yun Yilan, the Valley Master... has been in charge for too long.

This kind of thought naturally caused some people in the Burning Incense Valley to have fantasies.

However, no one expected that such a person who is more mature and older in appearance, would have thought that he was using "overdrawing his life for cultivation" to be in seclusion for three hundred years, and has been "struggling to death" until now!

All the great monks of Fenxiang Valley who were interested in being involved in the throne of "Grievance Master" were wiped out by Yun Yilan! This is why the elders of Fenxiang Valley were the only one left in Shangguan Ce except for Lu Shun, who had an average qualification since the beginning!

Of course, the cause of death announced by Fenxiang Valley was death.

A group of "young sects" with extremely deep cultivation and less than 300 life spans, but Yun Yilan, who was "involved in the air" and looked like a rotten wood, "taken one step ahead". This has to be said to be a kind of irony.

It is precisely because of this that although Shangguan Ce was respectful to Yun Yilan, his fear in his heart was extremely profound and straight into the bones!

No one knows better than him the senior brother's methods. This is a person who will never be able to see through!

Shangguan Ce was silent for a while, and faced with Yun Yilan's "self-deprecating", he was also a little confused about how to speak.

He simply pretended that he hadn't heard of it and said to himself: "Senior brother, I am disturbing you this time, but I have something important to report."

Yun Yilan was angry and weak, "Tell me, I guess it's a big deal if I can let you tell me personally."

Shangguan Ce pondered for a moment, as if thinking about how to speak, and finally said, "'Then'... it seems that he is unwilling to be lonely."

"What happened over there!" Shangguan Ce felt his body pause suddenly. In just a moment, the sound from behind the screen made him frigid. Although there was no fluctuation of his true energy, this invisible evil aura made him feel cold!

He smiled bitterly in his heart... Senior brother, how long do you need to pretend?

He forced himself to keep his desire to use his qi to fight against him, and barely stabilized his voice: "Some time ago, I was ordered by my senior brother to go to the 'where' to do a job. The 'that man' was very annoyed by the fact that we had not collected the last two 'holy tools' for many years, and was almost unwilling to cooperate with us again. I tried my best to say anything, and the 'that man' could barely change his mind. But when I left, I happened to see the 'lich' and the evil dragon went to the south Xinjiang direction. I followed closely and found that he seemed to be a little dirty with the Li tribe. But I was interested in asking, but the evil dragon was extremely difficult to mess with. I was worried that it would cause a big deal to shock the snake, so I didn't dare to stay anymore. I came back and reported to my senior brother first."

Yun Yilan was silent for a moment when she heard this.

"Oh..." He seemed to sigh, and then said: "My junior brother's vision is good, and that person is really unwilling to be lonely. Hey, those two 'holy tools'... Not to mention that the old Miao tribe's witchcraft is not bad, since he took advantage of the 'holy tools' battle of 'holy tools' two hundred years ago, the combination of the two 'holy tools' can increase his witchcraft ten times more powerful. Even if you are your profound Taoist practice, and you have the Nine Cold Xuan Ice Thorn as your help, I am afraid that the victory or defeat will be between 55."

Shangguan Ce hurriedly gave in a humble manner: "Senior Brother Miao Zan, how can I compare with my senior brother?"

"Hey, my old bones are not good..." Yun Yilan used to mock himself, and then said without waiting for Shangguan Ce to say anything else, "Even if we can grab those two 'holy tools', will we really hand them over to him?! No one is a fool! Humph, over the years, he has reclaimed the five 'holy tools' third by various means - we have also helped a lot. But if he really wants to collect all the 'holy tools', hey, our good days will come to an end! Let's have a skin to the tiger!" He said in the end, unable to stop sighing.

"Senior brother, now..." Shangguan Ce asked.

Yun Yilan's tone became weaker and weaker, as if a long sentence just now had exhausted his energy and spirit. "Let's watch it happen. Junior brother, you should work hard and keep an eye on it. Our century-old plan..."

"Yes. I understand!"

"Okay." Yun Yilan looked extremely pleased, "Thank you so hard for these three hundred years."

"It is the honor of being able to serve the senior brother." Shangguan Ce's tone was serious. But his words were really flattering. It was really hard to be a good person for him to be able to flatter him so sincerely.
