As the crucial sixth day approached, the tense atmosphere between heaven and earth became increasingly intense, and everything was ready.

Everyone quietly sneaked into the camp through simple daily actions, calmed their minds and cultivated their energy, and carried out the final training and preparations. The number of people in the patrol team was also significantly reduced at this moment, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, high-level cultivators began to appear frequently in this patrol team.

The top mages and cultivators were now concentrating on planning the final strategy for the decisive battle in the camp.

The north of the Tiannan monks' camp is exactly the direction where Tianyi City is located, so there are relatively few restrictions in this direction.

However, there were no fewer sentries and patrols, and some even increased. Under such circumstances, a team of more than ten monks was flying leisurely about twenty miles away from the main camp.

The leading cultivator was a beautiful young woman in her twenties, with the cultivation base at the early stage of Jindan, while the cultivators behind her were all at the foundation-building stage.

Faced with the impending war, these people dare not take it lightly.

Although this was just a routine patrol mission, they still remained highly vigilant and kept an eye on changes in the surrounding environment.

Only the young woman in the lead looked quite calm, but she also used her spiritual sense to the utmost, searching for anything unusual around her.

Suddenly, the young woman's face changed slightly, her escape light stopped instantly, and at the same time, she raised her head in surprise and looked into the distance.

When the other monks saw this scene, they were all stunned, and then they looked in that direction as if they were facing a life-and-death situation, but they found nothing.

"Senior Xiao, you...?"

A monk in a blue robe asked doubtfully, but before he could finish his words, a white light flashed in the distant sky, and a spot of light appeared there, and then it rushed towards them.

"This escape speed is truly astonishing!"

A monk couldn't help but exclaimed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they felt that the white light spot was rapidly expanding, and there seemed to be some mysterious object hidden in the light.

"It seems that a senior has arrived. However, according to the regulations, we still need to go forward and ask some questions. You just wait here for a while."

The young woman's elegant face was full of calmness, and she gave the order calmly.

Then, a yellow light appeared on her body and she rushed straight towards the white light.

When the monks saw this scene, they looked at each other for a while and no one spoke.

They were not from the same sect as the young woman, and their cultivation status was low, so naturally they did not dare to raise any objections.

The young woman had just flown a distance when she immediately stopped.

Because the light spot had already come in front of her, turned into a dazzling ball of light and suddenly stopped. There seemed to be a strange car-shaped magical weapon in it, and a human figure could be vaguely seen swaying.

"I am Xiao Cui'er from Huangfeng Valley, and I am here to greet you, Senior. I beg you to tell me your name. I am just following your orders, so please forgive me."

Although the beautiful young woman was shocked, she still greeted respectfully in a pleasant voice.

"Ah! Xiao Cui'er?"

Voices of surprise were heard in the white light.

"Does the senior recognize the junior?"

Xiao Cui'er blinked her clear eyes, with confusion revealed in her eyes.

Among the Nascent Soul cultivators she was familiar with, there didn't seem to be such a person. However, this voice was indeed very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

Just as she was puzzled by the mysterious scene in the light, the white light flashed several times, and the light gradually converged, revealing its true appearance.

Two young male and female monks stood on a peculiarly shaped white flying car.

The male monk was wearing a green robe and had an ordinary appearance.

The female monks wore white dresses and had beautiful faces.

"Uncle Master Chen!" When Xiao Cui'er saw the face of the man in green robe clearly, she covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed in surprise.

His eyes were filled with disbelief!

"Little girl, you have grown up. There is a world of difference between now and the past." Chen Yun looked at the young woman in front of him, looking at the familiar and beautiful face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Uncle Chen, it's really you! Although Senior Sister Nie and Senior Brother Lei have mentioned the news that you have been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, I still find it hard to believe." Xiao Cui'er said happily, her expression as if she had returned to the girlhood when she first met Chen Yun.

"It was purely accidental that I met them." Chen Yun replied with a smile, his tone as calm as water.

He personally introduced this woman to the Yellow Maple Valley. Although they didn't have much interaction, she always felt different. Moreover, this woman was the direct disciple of Senior Brother Ma. Therefore, Chen Yun's attitude towards her was naturally different from that of Nie Ying, Lei Wanhe and others, and it was humane.

Seeing this, the woman surnamed Song at the side could not help but speculate in her heart. She vaguely remembered that someone mentioned that her uncle was originally a disciple of Huangfeng Valley. Now it seems that he has met an old friend. And the young woman in front of her is extremely intelligent. I wonder what kind of relationship she has with this uncle?
No matter how the Song woman guessed, Chen Yun and Xiao Cui'er both calmly recalled the events that had happened after they separated many years ago, including how Xiao Cui'er and the old man went through hardships together, successfully escaped the pursuit of the demons, returned to the Huangfeng Valley, the death of Senior Brother Ma, and how this woman successfully established her foundation by chance, etc.

This made Chen Yun feel deeply moved, lamenting the passing of time and the rapid changes in the world.

However, after a moment, Xiao Cui'er hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle-master, have you really become an elder of the Luoyun Sect and will never come back here?" After the words fell, Xiao Cui'er's face revealed an expectant expression.

The current Huangfeng Valley is in a very difficult and embarrassing situation. Even though there is a Linghu Patriarch in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the sect, it is facing the dilemma of no successor to the Nascent Soul. Once the ancestor faces the fate of exhausting his lifespan and passing away, the status of Huangfeng Valley among the six sects will definitely decline seriously and it will be difficult to move forward.

Therefore, not only Lei Wanhe and others were worried about this, even the younger Jindan stage cultivators like Xiao Cui'er were also worried. Not to mention other cultivators like Nie Ying who knew about her relationship with Chen Yun. They all hoped that Xiao Cui'er would try her best to persuade Chen Yun when she met him, and perhaps Chen Yun would be moved because of their past friendship.

After experiencing the surprise, although Xiao Cui'er knew that Chen Yun had already declined the request of Lei Wanhe and others, she still had to mention it again at this moment.

"Returning to Luoyun Sect has become a luxury. Luoyun Sect has been so kind to me that I will never betray it. There is no need to discuss this matter further." After hearing what Xiao Cui'er said, the smile on Chen Yun's face gradually faded, and he shook his head firmly.

"But the future fate of our Huangfeng Valley..." Xiao Cui'er's face suddenly became gloomy, revealing a helpless expression.

"You don't have to worry too much. I have reached some agreements with old monster Linghu. If Huangfeng Valley really encounters a crisis, I will lend a helping hand to a certain extent." Chen Yun sighed and revealed the secret to the woman in an unclear manner.

"There is actually such a thing! Thank you, uncle-master!" Xiao Cui'er was stunned for a moment, and then cheered with great energy.

"Let's not talk about this topic for now. You are Senior Brother Ma's only disciple, and we haven't seen each other for many years, so I naturally have to take care of you. This is a magic weapon I obtained when I eliminated other Jindan stage cultivators in the past. Although it cannot be used as a life-long magic weapon, it will have its own magical powers when you use it against the enemy after refining it. In addition, this bottle of elixir will also have a significant effect on improving your cultivation realm and breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation, so take them all." After thinking for a while, Chen Yun took out a emerald green ring and a bottle of elixir from the storage bag and handed them to the woman.

"Thank you for your generous gift, uncle-master!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Cui'er hurriedly bowed deeply to express her gratitude, and then took the two treasures with great joy.

"Okay. I still need to go to the camp to meet with the seniors, so I won't stay here any longer. See you again in the future." Chen Yun waited until the woman put away the items properly, and then said goodbye calmly. Then, without waiting for the other party to respond, he tapped the flying car with his toes, and suddenly white light shone everywhere, and the figures of Chen Yun and the woman surnamed Song became blurred again in the dazzling light.

"Farewell, Uncle Chen!"

The young woman originally wanted to say a few more words to retain him, but seeing the scene before her, she could only bow hurriedly and watch the ball of light turn into a white beam and fly away into the distance.

Then the woman stood alone, staring in the direction where the light disappeared, motionless.

After that, Xiao Cui'er's subordinates hurried back in their portable magical weapons and quickly gathered around Xiao Cui'er.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, who exactly is that senior you mentioned? Is he really a master in the Nascent Soul stage?"

"But judging from his appearance, he seems quite young."

Several monks gathered around and asked questions one after another with curiosity.

"There is no need for you to ask any more questions. This man is indeed a senior in the Nascent Soul stage and has done me a great favor. He is not a person that we can comment on casually. Let's continue with our patrol mission." Xiao Cui'er regained her composure, her face darkened, she glanced at them coldly, and answered mercilessly.

Hearing this, the other monks immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking.

……

After parting with Xiao Cui'er, although the speed of the wind carriage had been greatly reduced, they arrived at the edge of the camp in just a moment. Considering that the carriage was too conspicuous, Chen Yun decided to temporarily put it away and use his own escape technique to move forward.

The woman surnamed Song was very wise not to mention what had happened before, which made Chen Yun secretly approve of her.

After flying for a while, a huge light curtain suddenly appeared in front of them. It was colorful, thick and dazzling, completely covering the entire camp.

Before Chen Yun and the woman surnamed Song landed, another patrol team came hurriedly to meet them.

After confirming their identities, the patrol team immediately opened a passage for them and respectfully led them through the light curtain and into the camp.

As soon as he entered the camp, Chen Yun said goodbye to the woman named Song.

The woman needed to report the situation to Lu Luo and go to a certain monk team that had been assigned to wait for orders. Chen Yun went straight to the core area of ​​the camp and met with Master Zhiyang and the other three main persons in charge.

When they saw Chen Yun arrive as scheduled, they were naturally delighted. After a few simple greetings, they began to introduce to Chen Yun the relevant deployment of the upcoming war. However, Chen Yun was not very enthusiastic about this and stood up to leave after listening to a few words.

Afterwards, he was assigned to an independent temporary stone chamber, where he began to meditate and recover his strength.

Chen Yun sat quietly in the room, concentrating. As time passed, his meager spiritual power, which had been consumed by his journey, gradually recovered to its peak state. After a long period of meditation and practice, he successfully raised his spiritual power to its best state.

At this time, he opened his eyes and slowly looked inside his body, with a faint smile on his lips. He had clearly felt the great progress he had made in recovering his spiritual power since he had reached the tenth level of practicing the Qing Yuan Sword Technique. This was undoubtedly a gratifying surprise.

Thinking this in his heart, Chen Yun paused for a moment, then reached out and took out a shiny black wooden box from his arms. The lid of the box was covered with several forbidden talismans that flashed green light. He gently brushed the lid of the box with one hand, and the talismans fell off one after another, turning into several green lights that flew into his sleeves.

Then, Chen Yun tapped the box lightly with one finger, and the lid popped open automatically, revealing the item in the box - a palm-sized talisman covered with runes. A blood-red dragon could be vaguely seen swimming on the surface of the talisman.

Chen Yun stretched out his right hand and gently waved the talisman, which flew out immediately and landed steadily in his hand after spinning for a moment. In order to refine this "Spirit Summoning Talisman", he spent several days of hard work and experienced three failures. Although he was not sure about its actual effect, it was certain that the power of this talisman was weakened compared to the power described in the refining method.

After all, the three failed attempts at refining the talisman caused the eighth-level dragon soul to lose most of its soul power. Therefore, the true effectiveness of this talisman can only be tested through actual combat. Chen Yun gently stroked the runes of various colors on the surface of the talisman with his fingers, and fell into deep thought, his face constantly changing.

While Chen Yun was sitting quietly in the house thinking, at the magic base dozens of miles away from the Tiannan camp, in a stone chamber twenty or thirty feet underground, there were also several mysterious figures sitting around a stone table, discussing some important matters.

There were five men and two women in total, one of whom was wearing black robes that covered their faces, making it impossible to see their true appearance. (End of this chapter)
