Chapter 1135: Return to the Sect

“Now our sect is in need of people. If Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu can return at this time, I believe you will shine in the war.” Duan Meng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Ming could only nod his head.

A few days later, at the edge of Thousands Spirit Mountain Range, Liu Ming and his party dashed past.

Liu Ming only felt that the nearby space was fluctuating, then the scenery in front suddenly changed. There was a golden light shining in front. Through the golden light, familiar mountains could be seen.

Upon closer inspection, it was a huge golden light curtain, covering the core of the entire Thousands Spirit Mountain Range. On the surface of the light curtain, huge golden runes circulate continuously, exuding a vast aura.

In addition, the mountain peaks were also shrouded in various colors at the moment. Teams of mountain patrol disciples dressed in deputy costumes flew past the mountain peaks from time to time.

This was also the first time Liu Ming had seen such a scene after entering Taiqing Sect for hundreds of years. It seemed that this Hellish-Insect Clan invasion was far more serious than expected.

At this moment, Duan Meng took off the token from his waist and shook it slightly in his hand. At the same time, he chanted a few incantations. A hole was opened up on the golden light curtain.

Then, the white clouds they rode rushed in.

The moment the white clouds all entered the light curtain, the entire golden light curtain was immediately closed up.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu, I have to rush back to Golden Top Peak to report the situation to the peak master, so I’ll bid farewell here. I believe we will meet again soon.” Duan Meng bowed to Liu Ming and bade farewell with a smile.

After saying a few polite words, Liu Ming watched all the Golden Top Peak disciples go away.

After a while, he turned his head and looked at the familiar mountains in front of him. A sigh of emotion flashed in his eyes. He wrapped himself in black air and flew in a certain direction.

After a dozen minutes, Liu Ming stopped in front of Fallen Serene Peak.

At this moment, the Fallen Serene Peak was surrounded by the rolling black air. The peak was looming. The cold wind was blowing.

He hovered in the air for a while, then he took off his token and shook it in front. A black light flashed into the black air.

After the black air tumbled, it split to both sides and revealed a long and narrow tunnel. Liu Ming flew in directly.

Not long after, he appeared on the platform in front of the peak hall.

“Who are you? This is the main hall of Fallen Serene Peak, no idlers can enter!” A young man with thick eyebrows outside the main hall door looked at Liu Ming up and down. After feeling the unfathomable aura on Liu Ming’s body, he said in surprise.

Liu Ming glanced at the young man with thick eyebrows in front of him. The man looked only in his twenties, and he was wearing Fallen Serene Peak’s clothes, but Liu Ming had never seen him. He probably joined when Liu Ming left the Fallen Serene Peak.

“I’m also a disciple of Fallen Serene Peak. My name is Liu Ming. Is Master Yin on the mountain now?” Liu Ming raised his eyebrows, restrained the spiritual pressure on his body and said with a slight smile.

“You said your surname is Se… Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu? Could it be the Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu who made great contributions to the Evil Ghost Way decades ago, then he went missing?” The young man with thick eyebrows heard the words, and he asked in disbelief.

“Could it be that there is a second person named Liu Ming in Fallen Serene Peak? If not, it should be me.” Liu Ming touched his nose and said with a spurious smile, and he took out a black token at the same time.

The young man with thick eyebrows still released Divine Thought to check the token in disbelief. After confirming that the was the token of Fallen Serene Peak’s inner disciple, he was overjoyed and nodded again and again.

“It really is Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu. Peak master is in the main hall. Please wait a moment, I will report to peak master right now.” After the young man with thick eyebrows bowed to Liu Ming, he walked into the main hall quickly.

About 10 minutes, the young man with thick eyebrows walked out hurriedly.

“Congratulations to Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu for returning Fallen Serene Peak. Peak master is already waiting in the main hall.” The young man with thick eyebrows cupped his fist and made a respectful invitation gesture.

After listening, Liu Ming nodded and walked into the main hall under the respectful gaze of the young man.

A moment later, in the secluded and quiet hall, Yin Jiuling in a gray robe was sitting on the main seat in the middle. His half-withered and half-moisten face was full of joy.

“Disciple Liu Ming greets master.” Liu Ming walked quickly to the front and gave Yin Jiuling a deep bow.

“Great, great, great, I’m glad that you come back safely. Forget about the courtesy. I heard from your Senior Sister Wu that you disappeared in the Evil Ghost Way. Although I have not talked about it to others, I know in my heart that you will definitely be fine with your strength. My hunch is really not wrong!” Yin Jiuling looked Liu Ming up and said 3 ‘great’ in a row. The joy on his face couldn’t be concealed.

Hearing this, Liu Ming couldn’t help feeling warm.

“But it’s only been a few decades. I can’t believe that you have reached the Real Pellet State intermediate stage. It seems that you have encountered many opportunities over the years.” Yin Jiuling pointed to the seat next to him and motioned Liu Ming to sit down first.

“Yes, master, when disciple was hunted down in Evil Ghost Way…” After Liu Ming sat down, he briefly described his experiences in Evil Ghost Way and the deepest underworld.

Of course, he didn’t mention some of his secrets.

Yin Jiuling was deeply surprised when he heard that Liu Ming had ended up in the deepest underworld.

Liu Ming did not try to hide the matter of the Southern Puppet Emperor. After all, without the help of outsiders, he would not have been able to return to Middle Sky Continent so smoothly.

After Liu Ming talked about the encounters, he mentioned the southern wilderness alliance resisting the Hellish-Insect Clan army.

“I didn’t expect so many Hellish-Insect Clans to appear in the southern wilderness. It seems that this catastrophe is inevitable.” Yin Jiuling sighed and said slowly.

“On my way back, I have seen that the Hellish-Insect Clan army is razing everywhere they went. Is this Hellish-Insect Clan really going to invade our Middle Sky Continent?” Liu Ming glanced at Yin Jiuling and said in a slightly deep voice.

“The invasion of the alien race had happened in the history of our Middle Sky Continent, but the 4 ancient sects of our human race still stand for countless years. You don’t have to worry too much.” Yin Jiuling seemed to be a little too worried, so he said to Liu Ming with a slight smile.

“Disciple got it!” Liu Ming nodded slightly and said.

“By the way, where is Senior Sister Wu now? Has she left the Evil Ghost Way? What was the result of the war in the Evil Ghost Way?” Liu Ming suddenly remembered something and asked again.

“In the end of the war in the Evil Ghost Way, a lot of changes did happen. It’s a long story. Now the situation is special, so let’s put it aside for now. As for Xiao Wu, she has returned safely since the fierce battle in the Evil Ghost Way. She respects you very much. But in the recent Hellish-Insect Clan invasion, all kinds of things are going on, and our sect is in need of people. Xiao Wu is still doing a sect mission outside.” Yin Jiuling said lightly.

“I see.” Liu Ming’s eyes flashed when he heard the words, but he didn’t ask any further questions.

They chatted for a while, and Liu Ming took the opportunity to ask a few questions about the difficulties he faced about the Real Pellet State. Yin Jiuling had already cultivated to the peak of the Real Pellet State, and he also practiced the yin attribute technique, so he was very experienced in it.

Liu Ming gained a lot. He had a clearer understanding of the path of cultivation in the future.

“You have now advanced to the Real Pellet State. According to the sect practice, you can now directly apply to become the esoteric disciple of our sect. As far as I know, Sect Master Tian Ge happens to be in the main peak of Taiqing Sect. Why don’t you go and see him now? Because of the Hellish-Insect Clan invasion, the sect master is very busy and hard to find.” Yin Jiuling glanced at Liu Ming and suddenly said with a smile.

“Disciple understands!” Liu Ming was stunned when he heard the words, then he cupped his fist.

“If you want to become an esoteric disciple, you need to go through some trials and get the approval of Sect Master Tian Ge first, but with your current cultivation level and your performance in the Evil Ghost Way, I think you will be fine.” Yin Jiuling said with a smile.

“Thank you Master for the reminder.” Liu Ming replied.

In the following time, Liu Ming asked some more about the current situation in the sect, then he said goodbye to Yin Jiuling and left the hall.

Yin Jiuling watched Liu Ming walk out of the hall with a hint of satisfaction on his face. His reputation would be higher to able to teach an esoteric disciple. Moreover, the entire Fallen Serene Peak would get a lot of rewards from the sect.

…

After 10 minutes, Liu Ming had appeared in the main peak square of the Taiqing Sect.

All the buildings above the main peak did not change in the slightest. Occasionally, a few Taiqing Sect cultivators passed by, and most of them turned a blind eye to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming knew that it was mostly because of the Hellish-Insect Clan invasion. It seemed that the Hellish-Insect invasion had indeed caused a lot of pressure on the Taiqing Sect.

Outside the main peak hall, Liu Ming showed his identity token, stating that he wanted to visit Sect Master Tian Ge.

The 2 gatekeepers also seemed to have heard of Liu Ming’s name. After giving him a surprised look, 1 of them immediately turned around and went in to report.

After a while, the gatekeeper came out and bowed to Liu Ming, saying,

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu, the sect master invites you in.”

Liu Ming nodded. After tidying up his clothes, he walked through a long corridor and entered the hall.

At this time, there were already 3 people in the hall. Besides Immortal Tian Ge, Jin Tianci was also among them unexpectedly.

In addition, a young man in gray with a square face seemed to be talking to Tian Ge and Jin Tianci.

What surprised Liu Ming even more was that Sect Master Tian Ge and Jin Lieyang stood on both sides of the young man while bowing their heads and listening.
