Mount Guyang, western side—Jade Ridge Peak!
A moment ago, the mountaintop had still been bathed in brilliant sunlight beneath a cloudless sky.
Yet without warning, heaven and earth changed color. Countless clouds and mists came surging in, gathering in midair above the peak.
This sudden occurrence quickly alarmed the cultivators nearby.
Before long, a streak of light flew swiftly over from afar and stopped before a cave abode.
"Martial Uncle Li!"
Seeing that the newcomer was Li Mufeng, who rarely left seclusion, Su Mo and Li Hongying, who had been standing guard nearby, were both slightly surprised. They hurried forward and offered him a bow.
"No need for such formalities. Rise!"
Just as he waved a hand at the two before him, another streak of light flew in from the other side and landed before them.
"Oh! Senior Brother Li, you are already here? I was just about to send someone to notify you."
"Hehe, I had intended to visit Junior Brother Feng Yuan at the back mountain for some tea today, but I sensed the disturbance here midway and came ahead of everyone else.
Junior Sister Xu, did you come from Carefree Hall?
How is Nephew Yun doing now?"
"Rest assured, Senior Brother. Although Nephew Yun injured his meridians during this seclusion, his condition is still fairly good. He emerged from seclusion half a month ago.
I have already arranged for Zong Xun and the others to send him some healing items.
As long as he recuperates slowly, recovering in the future should not be difficult.
It is only that, given Nephew Yun's lifespan, the matter of forming a Nascent Soul will likely be rather difficult now.
Though Nephew Yun failed this time, he already did everything he could. I hope Senior Brother will not blame him for it."
