There were isolated peaks and steep mountains, and the corpses of ferocious beasts were scattered all over the ground. It was a scene like a forbidden land of Shura, with no signs of any plants or life.
This was also the place where Ye Xuan was being hunted. The fire had been burning for three days and three nights. At this moment, no grass grew there, and it had become a barren land.
"Let's go and report to the elders."
Three days later, several men appeared on the top of the solitary peak. After seeing the situation in front of them, they immediately disappeared.
In Zhongzhou, among the green mountains and clear waters, there stands a majestic mountain gate with a sword hanging at the door. It is said to be a relic left by the founder of the sect after he ascended to heaven. It is extremely magical.
"Go ahead, you can come in."
Several men hurriedly took out a token and quickly passed through the mountain gate and rushed towards the place where the great elder was.
The main peak, where the great elder lives, is full of spiritual energy, with flowing water under a small bridge and lush greenery. There is also a waterfall rushing in front of the door. Several men pushed the door open and came to the secret room.
"You mean you've confirmed that no signs of life were found, which means that the brat is dead and has no place to be buried. You've done a very good job. This is a reward of fine wine for you. Of course, you will also get some benefits."
The great elder personally poured wine for several people, then filled their glasses with a smile on his face and handed them to them, and attached a crystal card with a satisfactory amount for each person.
"Take it. You deserve it, not a cent less."
Seeing them hesitate for a moment, his expression immediately turned quite ugly.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will poison you? Don't worry, I won't do that. How about I drink three cups as punishment?"
The Great Elder was afraid that they would tell others about the matter, so he had already secretly poisoned him, which was a fatal poison. However, he had already taken the antidote, and after drinking three cups in a row, he had no reaction, so he naturally did not arouse their suspicion.
"One cup, two cups, until three cups..."
"How is it? I have already drunk three cups in front of you. You see I am still fine. As my confidant, you don't even give me this little face. It seems that I will have better things to arrange for you in the future. Now I can only find someone else?
The great elder sighed as he spoke and performed in front of them.
"Great Elder, how dare you torture us like this!"
The leading man immediately finished the wine in his glass.
Seeing this, the other few people drank the wine that the other party brought to them in one gulp without any hesitation.
"Wine is poisonous. Why?"
The few people didn't react at first, but after a while their vision became blurred, blood appeared at the corners of their mouths, and they didn't even know how they died.
"Someone, take these people out and feed them to the wild dogs. Remember, deal with them cleanly and don't let anyone find out."
The Great Elder, who had a smiling face just now, became extremely cold in the blink of an eye. After a few people came in, he put them in sacks and threw them directly into the Monster Forest.
“Father, how could he be named the Holy Son of the sect, and I am also a rare body of ten thousand swords in a hundred years. Now it’s good, the obstacles have been cleared, and the entire Ye family belongs to you and me.”
"Boy, I am doing all this for you. You must do your best for me. I will propose to deprive him of his title of Holy Son. If you do your best, all this will be yours."

"Father is right, his fiancée is mine too."
The father and son colluded with each other and laughed out loud. A vicious plan had been formed.
"Don't worry. Once the ten-year deadline is over, not only will his title of Holy Son be revoked, but his father's position as the patriarch will also be revoked."
The Great Elder looked at the doting face of the man in front of him and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag when he said this. However, he thought that the other party was not an outsider and did not take it to heart.
…………
There are towering mountains and hundreds of thousands of them, stretching endlessly.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and the world has changed.
An old man and a young man stood on the top of the cliff, watching the sunrise.
The old man said, "Boy, don't you have anything to say? Do you think there are really immortals? I wonder what it's like to be an immortal?"
Ye Xuan: “I don’t know.”
"I have traveled all over the country my whole life, and even when I encountered an enemy, I still didn't take that step. I really can't accept this."
After hearing the other party's answer, the old man did not get angry, but continued to talk to himself.
"Old man, you are talking to me like talking to a cow. Even a peerless expert like you doesn't know that there are immortals in the world, so how can I know?"
Ye Xuan laughed secretly in his heart: "What a joke, he was a peerless swordsman in his previous life, doesn't he know that he is just restricted by this body and can't quickly return to the peak."
"That's right, how would you, a brat, know that?" The old man couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Then he said, "He is an immortal who has the same lifespan as the heaven and earth. What a pity, he is beyond my reach."
"Old man, why are you talking so mysteriously today? Are you thinking too much?"
The two of them are very close. They watch the sunrise together every day to appreciate the charm of nature. As usual, they started today's chat mode.
Ten years ago, which was also today, there was a fire burning the mountain and he was in a desperate situation. Ever since he was rescued by this mysterious old man that day, he began to receive devilish training. No matter if he agreed or not, as long as he slacked off a little, he would be beaten by the other party.
"Forget it. I thought the flowers were affectionate, but it turns out the water is ruthless. It seems I was overthinking."
Ye Xuan also gritted his teeth and persevered. He wanted to say what was on his lips, but he just couldn't.
"Okay, kid, I know you've worked hard these years. I was ambitious as a teenager, but time makes me old, so I'd better not say anything."
The old man said nothing more. He just stood on the top of the mountain alone, watching the sunrise. He turned into a statue, but his shadow was infinitely elongated, like an old man.
"Old man, you're trying to trick me into calling you Master again. This is impossible. I'm the reincarnation of the peerless Immortal Emperor. How could I ever take you as my Master? You're dreaming!"
Ye Xuan, with a look of disapproval on his face, thought that the two people were just playing a little joke, and did not notice the strangeness of the old man in front of him at all.
"Boy, this is the last time I will accompany you to watch the sunrise. You have learned all the skills and true teachings. You can go down the mountain now. In the past ten years, you have already been invincible in the world. Is it so difficult for you to call me master?"
The sun rises in the east and purple air comes from the east. After a long time, the old man replied lightly and said no more.
The other party was usually like this and I didn't respond to him until the sun rose and I noticed something was wrong.
"Old man, don't scare you, what's wrong?"
He turned around and saw the other person, then touched the other person's body, and turned into dust and dissipated with the wind.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and every little thing came to his mind. Even though he was an unrivaled strong man in his previous life, he now had to embark on the journey of cultivating immortals again with the help of the other party.
"Master, why is this?"
Ye Xuan, seeing the scene at this moment, stretched out his hand to grab the other person, but the other person was like the wind, dissipating from his hand between heaven and earth. An inexplicable sadness surged in his heart, and he directly called out the long-lost master.
“Master…”
He kowtowed three times towards the place where the other person disappeared, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and made a decision in his heart.
Alchemy, weapon casting, formations and so on, the other party knew everything and did his best to teach him everything, just to make him call him master. But he was stubborn and wanted to call him master again, but he didn't have the chance anymore.
"Oh no, today is exactly the tenth year. If he doesn't show up again, his status as the Holy Son will be revoked, along with his father's position as the patriarch."
Through the fusion of memories, he knew the identity of this body, and naturally knew the secrets contained therein, and naturally accepted everything about the other party .
Ye Xuan thought to himself, "I have returned with great strength, so how can I become someone else's wedding dress? Don't worry."
"Damn it, I almost forgot. There is one more important thing. I have a fiancée and we have a ten-year contract."
It seemed as if he remembered something. He thought of a secret technique and a sword appeared. It blew up against the wind. He jumped on it and flew with the sword. In a moment, he was already a thousand miles away.
"Here we are. After ten years, who can recognize the young man he once was?"
He found a secluded corner, put away his flying sword, and walked towards his destination based on his memory.
