"Brother Feng Yang, during these years I have been in Qingzhou, and it was all thanks to your care. Our relationship, saying this would be too polite."
"However, you are the leader of the Qilin Palace and the head of the Qi Clan. Having been away from the palace for such a long time, are you really okay?" The old man in the simple clothes smiled and placed a chess piece.
"As long as I can enter the Heaven Martial Realm, I can be on par with the Palace Master. That old man from the Lin family, even if he tries to suppress me during my absence, when I return, he will have to submit to me." When mentioning this, Qi Feng Yang had a look of pride on his face.
"Now in the Jiuzhou continent, the Heaven Martial Realm is no longer a legend. But in Qingzhou, there is only the Palace Master of the Qilin Palace and the Patriarch of Lingyun Sect who have entered this realm. That's why Qingzhou has become the weakest state in the Jiuzhou region." The old man in the simple clothes shook his head.
"Ha ha." Regarding the rather sarcastic words of the old man in the simple clothes, Qi Feng Yang could only.
Back then, the strong ones in Qingzhou were always the strongest in the Jiuzhou region. But that was back then. Now Qingzhou's decline is a fact. Of course, Qingzhou's decline is also attributed to this generation. They were too mediocre.
Thinking of this, Qi Feng Yang couldn't help but exclaim: "Looking at the young people in Qingzhou now, there is no particularly outstanding one. Zhongge Aoyun in Qingzhou is still decent, but placed among the young people in the Jiuzhou continent, he is a bit mediocre. Could it be that the heavens are going to end Qingzhou?"
"Of course not. Your Qingzhou has already emerged a powerful young person. As long as he is given some time, he will definitely surpass Zhongge Aoyun." The old man in the simple clothes smiled lightly.
"Xiangyun Brother, I don't know what you mean?" Hearing this, Qi Feng Yang's calm expression changed and he hurriedly asked.
"In the Baiqu Valley, there are not just you and I. Besides you and me, there is also someone who has been staying in the Baiqu Valley for over half a year."
"And moreover, during this half a year, he has reaped a lot. He stole the treasure vault of the demonic beasts raised in captivity and swept through the entire Baiqu Valley. Most importantly, he is a ghost robe realm spirit and is just a teenager. At this age, having such achievements is truly boundless in the future." The old man in the simple clothes smiled again.
"A teenager with the ability of the ghost robe realm spirit?" At this moment, Qi Feng Yang couldn't calm down. He suddenly stood up excitedly because a ghost robe realm spirit was definitely a figure for Qingzhou.
A teenager? A teenager becoming a ghost robe realm spirit is indeed an amazing thing. It made him have to pay attention to it.
However, after careful thinking, Qi Feng Yang felt something was wrong. He said: "Xiangyun Brother, this is the Baiqu Valley. You said that unless it's a blue robe realm spirit or someone with extremely strong Heaven Martial Realm power, no one can withstand the pressure after the array in the Baiqu Valley is activated. How could a ghost robe realm spirit survive for over half a year here?"
"Ha ha. Isn't this precisely the strength of that teenager? To be honest, his survival was also thanks to the help of Feng Yang Brother. If it weren't for the day you gave me the protection token and handed it to him, he wouldn't have been able to remember the array that condensed the token."
"Even so, I can't help but admit that this boy is powerful. After all, my array is impossible for a blue robe realm spirit to condense. But he managed to do it. You say, is he really a powerful young person?" The old man in the simple clothes smiled lightly.
"Xiangyun Brother, do you mean that the teenager who has survived in the Baiqu Valley for over half a year is that Chu Feng from that day?" At this moment, Qi Feng Yang suddenly understood. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Of course it is him." The old man in the simple clothes nodded.
"I just said that this teenager is a rare genius. I never expected him to be so talented. That's why he received the inheritance from the Flying Sky Elder." At this moment, Qi Fengyang finally understood and was shocked. He burst into a broad smile and felt even more convinced that what he had done was correct.
"The Immortal of the Air is nothing more than a peak-level Xuanwu. He never managed to reach the Tianwu Realm throughout his life. The fact that he was able to create martial techniques for flying through the air proves that it was due to chance and luck."
"That young man is much more powerful than him. Because as early as half a year ago, a mysterious figure appeared in Qingzhou - the Grey Robe Man. This Grey Robe Man not only alarmed Lingyun Sect but also you, the Qilin Palace. Although he disappeared for half a year, he is still a person from Qingzhou and is a topic of discussion during breaks."
"And if I'm not mistaken, that Grey Robe Man should be the young man named Chu Feng." The old man in the simple clothes continued.
"Such a thing actually exists. It seems that Chu Feng is really a restless young man."
Listening to the old man's account, Qi Fengyang's smile became even more intense, and his heart was even more excited. Because the more restless a person is, the more likely they are to become a great figure.
After all, all the top strongmen throughout history were sharp and arrogant towards their peers when they were young. Now that such a young man appeared in Qingzhou, Qi Fengyang felt like he had hope and was naturally overjoyed.
"However, this lad might be facing a major crisis." The old man suddenly said.
"Major crisis? Brother Hengyuan, what do you mean?" Seeing this, Qi Fengyang's expression changed dramatically.
"This lad has a life-and-death battle with someone, and the time is approaching. His opponent is the son of the Lord of Xuanwu City, and he is deeply favored by one of the Lin family members in your Qilin Palace, Lin Ran. For the past half year, he has caused a lot of damage to your Qilin Palace's resources in order to cultivate him."
"And that young man, even though he has extraordinary talent, has no background in Qingzhou. So I think this battle of his is very unfavorable." The old man explained.
Upon hearing this, Qi Fengyang's eyebrows tightened, and then he turned to the old man and said, "Zhiyuan Brother, I... "
"Go ahead. I know you, this old guy, really hopes that Qingzhou can produce a decent successor. This lad is also worth your help." Before Qi Fengyang could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand at him.
"Indeed, the one who understands me is Zhiyuan Brother. Zhiyuan Brother, I'll be leaving now." After speaking, Qi Fengyang wanted to leave, but he stopped at the door and turned back to bow, "Thank you, Wind Yang Brother, for saving this lad's life. I'll pass on his gratitude to you on his behalf."
"This life was earned by himself. His talent is worthy of my letting him go, and it's also worth your helping him." The old man smiled, and Qi Fengyang also smiled and looked at each other without saying anything more. Then he walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Just after Qi Fengyang left, the face of that simple old man became solemn. His gaze was filled with worry. Standing on the mountain top, he gazed at the distant sky and said softly:
"It's been six years. Why haven't you shown up yet? The divine body bestowed by heaven shouldn't remain so obscure, right? Could it be that... something unexpected has happened?"
At this moment, the old man in the simple clothes couldn't help but sigh, slowly closing his eyes, and his thoughts drifted to the night six years ago.
That night, on the nine-day Milky Way, nine-colored divine thunder appeared, shaking the entire continent, but ultimately struck Qingzhou.
That night, tens of thousands of imperial experts of the Jiang Dynasty went to Qingzhou, determined to find the divine body, but ended up returning empty-handed.
