The next day, the Penal Hall issued a notice.

The notice contained a list of punished disciples who had received punishment reductions due to good performance.

There are a total of fifteen disciples on the list, and they will all regain their freedom today and return to their previous place of origin as disciples.

And Qiu Wuji's name is clearly on the list.

However, this incident did not cause waves in Xuantian Dao Sect.

After all, more than ten years have passed since what happened in Qiu Wuji.

Except for the person involved and those who specifically knew about this matter, the memories of other people who knew about it have already been blurred.

As for the new disciples, they don’t even understand what happened back then.

Qiu Wuji came out of the courtyard.

Many disciples gathered outside the door, all of whom were released today.

They put back on their former Taoist robes, smiled on their faces, and regained their brilliance in their eyes.

The young boys who once chased the wind are all back.

"Senior Brother Qiu, do you want to come together?" a disciple asked.

Qiu Wuji's status in Jingxin Lake is extraordinary and he is respected by the disciples here.

Of course, these were all achieved with his fists back then.

"Yes, Senior Brother Qiu, let's go together. We finally got through it."

A young man who looked young but had experienced many years of life in his eyes smiled.

"Let's go, where can I go?" Qiu Wuji asked with a smile.

"..."

Only then did people realize that when Qiu Wuji entered the inner sect, he was imprisoned in Jingxin Lake before he could worship at any peak.

If he wants to go back, he can only go back to the outer sect.

"This..." Everyone was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Everyone, you are free. Go back. Don't worry about me." Qiu Wuji waved his hand.

The disciples surrounding them looked at each other and then cupped their hands.

"I would like to thank Senior Brother Qiu for your care during these years in Jingxin Lake. Li would like to thank me here. If Senior Brother Qiu needs me, he can come to Jianfeng to find me."

"..."

"..."

These disciples had all received some favor from Qiu Wuji back then.

Of course, the so-called favor does not mean anything Qiu Wuji gave them.

Instead, Qiu Wuji took action to teach the group of Punishment Hall disciples who abused their power for personal benefit, so that they would no longer be oppressed.

"Goodbye everyone."

Qiu Wuji also bowed his hand.

Seeing this, dozens of people greeted each other politely, and then walked down the mountain one after another.

After a while, it became quiet again in front of his door.

Looking around, there was no one.

He felt empty in his heart for no reason, maybe this was the so-called loneliness.

But the journey to becoming a strong person is destined to be lonely.

Qiu Wuji shook his head, his expression returned to his original state, and he walked towards Ziyun Peak with the token given to him by Elder Han Feng.

Ziyun Peak, east foothills.

The courtyards are hidden among the greenery of the mountains and forests, like the ink spots splashed by a painter.

This place is where the disciples and elders of Ziyun Peak live.

The courtyard near the cliff is the residence of the elders, and the courtyard near the mountain wall is the residence of the disciples.

A young man dressed in blue cloth, with a strong build and sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, walked on with his head lowered.

He was carrying a long sword wrapped in cloth and had an expressionless face.

The four characters "No strangers allowed to enter" are written all over his body.

Suddenly, the young man felt a huge force hitting him.

He raised his head and found that it was Elder Zhao who had knocked him down.

"I met the elder."

Although the young man was hit, he showed no emotion and instead bowed his hands in a salute.

"You are that Xiao Chuan, right? I remember you. You performed well in the martial arts competition. If you can get in the top ten, I will accept you as my direct disciple." Zhao Kun used a smile to cover up the embarrassment of being distracted and knocking down his disciple.

"Thank you, Elder Zhao, for your appreciation. I see the elder in such a hurry. Is there something urgent?"

"That's not true. I'm just thinking about some cultivation matters."

"I see, goodbye, Elder Zhao." Xiao Chuan left without asking any more questions.

Zhao Kun glanced at Xiao Chuan, and his originally peaceful eyes suddenly became sharp, like a sharp sword suddenly unsheathed.

Afterwards, he quickly returned to his residence.

Close the doors and windows and cast a spiritual barrier.

Isolate your bedroom from the outside.

After confirming that there was no one around his yard, Zhao Kun felt relieved.

He stretched out his palm, and a purple-black jade pendant appeared in his palm.

"Fifty years, exactly fifty years, the sect finally sent me news!"

Zhao Kun couldn't hide his excitement, and there was a hint of joy on his face, but he suppressed it immediately.

I saw that he bit his finger and blood dripped on the jade pendant.

Black mist spread.

Then, a purple-black spiritual light shone on the wall in front of him.

There are clearly demonic words on it!

Seeing the familiar words, Zhao Kun felt like he was home.

He is a scout secretly trained by the Black Demon Sect fifty years ago.

A group of them were sent to various areas of the Dongxuan Territory when they were still young, joining sect forces in various places, hiding their identities, and secretly delivering intelligence and news to the Black Demon Sect.

These people formed a huge intelligence network, covering almost half of the Dongxuan Territory!

It can be said that more than half of the sect forces in Dongxuan Domain are under their surveillance.

Of course, it's not complete surveillance.

For example, a first-class sect like Xuantian Dao Sect.

It has a rich foundation and is divided into inner sect and outer sect. The inner sect has a vast territory and has sixteen peaks and holy peaks, a total of seventeen different factions.

He worked hard for decades to become the elder of one of the peaks.

Now he is a powerful person in the divine fire realm and one of the six elders of Ziyun Peak.

In addition to the peak master, there are more than ten elders in Ziyun Peak.

But only six people are really in charge.

He is one of these six people.

For fifty years, he has been collecting various information about the Xuantian Dao Sect, and updates it every three years and sends it back to the sect.

But there has been no reply.

So much so that he thought he had been abandoned by the sect.

Now it seems that this is not the case, but that the time has not yet come.

"If I don't come to the mission, I will become the master of Ziyun Peak."

Zhao Kun complained in his heart and began to check the superstitions passed down by the sect.

"This...is actually a killing order!"

Zhao Kun could not hide the surprise on his face.

In fifty years, the sect sent him news for the first time, and it turned out to be a killing order!

You know, the Black Demon Sect rarely issues death orders.

Because the person who is to be killed by the killing order must have a special identity, strong talent and strength, and is extremely difficult to kill. If you want to complete it, you must pay a heavy price.

He began to look at the contents of the killing order.

The Black Demon Sect's death order is easy to identify, it is a red word "death".

It is better to say it is a talisman than a word.

Below the word "death" is a name.

"Autumn is boundless?"

"This name seems familiar." Zhao Kun touched his chin and then put his hand on the kill order.

Then, a dull voice sounded in his ears.

"Secret Demon Guard Zhao Kun listened to the order. Ancestor Luo Tian used the bloodline secret method to send a message from Xuantian Dao Sect."

"A peerless genius appears in the Xuantian Dao Sect, and his name is Qiu Wuji."

"Find him and kill him."

"At any cost!" The last part of the voice was strong.

After listening to the contents of the secret message sent by the killing order.

Zhao Kun was extremely surprised.

He actually let Ancestor Luo Tian, ​​who was suppressed in the Demon Sealed Cave, use his bloodline secret method to spread the news at the expense of his lifespan and foundation.

Who is this Qiu Wuji?

"Qiu Wuji... Qiu Wuji, this name is very familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Zhao Kun touched his chin and paced back and forth in the room.

Immediately, his eyes lit up.

"It's him, the disciple who was imprisoned in Jingxin Lake ten years ago because the saint revealed that he was secretly watching a female disciple take a bath in the outer sect."

Zhao Kun recalled the memories related to this name.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he might have recognized the wrong person.

After all, Qiu Wuji was just a disciple of the outer sect. Who knew him before that incident happened?

Moreover, he was only valued by the empress because he had some talent in physical training.

The ancestor believed that people with extraordinary talents must at least be geniuses of Han Yuerou's level.

"No, he is even more evil than Han Yuerou!" Zhao Kun shook his head.

After all, Han Yuerou is not worthy of having the sect issue a kill order.

This shows that in the eyes of the ancestors.

The threat of Qiu Wuji is much greater than Han Yuerou.

"Qiu Wuji...is there someone else?"

Zhao Kun looked at the three words on the kill order and fell into deep thought.

"The disciples who were imprisoned in the Jingxin Lake for meditation had to go to the cemetery to sweep their graves every day. The cold air in the cemetery was so strong that it was difficult for ordinary people to resist. Over time, their practice and body would be affected."

"The disciples who came out of Jingxin Lake have mentioned that it is not a place for people to live at all, and most people's cultivation is stagnant. Only a few disciples have made progress, but the progress is also quite slow..."

"But the news that Patriarch Luo Tian sent back to the sect is absolutely correct..."

"By the way, the Demon-Sealing Cave is located on the mountain next to Jingxin Lake. Could it be that Qiu Wuji came into contact with the ancestor of the Demon-Sealing Cave, and then the ancestor discovered his unique talent?"

"But the sect and himself don't know?" Zhao Kun's eyes lit up and he thought about some possibilities.

"Forget it, stop thinking about it."

"The sect's orders will never go wrong. I'll find this guy first and kill him secretly." Zhao Kun made a decision in his heart.

He has a method that guarantees nothing will go wrong, and that is to kill all the disciples named Qiu Wuji of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

"No, this is not enough. Anyone with the surname Qiu must be killed!" Zhao Kun's eyes suddenly turned fierce, with murderous intent clearly in his eyes.

He was not afraid of exposing himself at all, because the secret order could not have been made clearer.

at all costs!

Even if he might be exposed and die without a complete body, he still had to find Qiu Wuji and kill him to avoid future trouble!

After Zhao Kun had an idea in his mind, he began to formulate the next plan.

He sat in front of the desk, took out the Xuantian Dao Sect's map, and started scratching on it.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside.

Zhao Kun hurriedly put away the map and the spiritual barrier. He stood up, straightened his clothes and his expression, and pushed out the door.

In front of the courtyard gate, stood a disciple of Ziyun Peak.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Kun asked.

"Elder Zhao, the penalty reduction notice from the Punishment Hall has been issued."

"The penalty reduction notice has been issued. This notice comes every year. It's just a minor matter. Do you need to notify me?"

"Normally, Elder Zhao will not be notified, but there is a person named Qiu Wuji on this list. Now he is at the gate of our Ziyun Peak, holding a Ziyun Jade Pendant, saying that he wants to join our Ziyun Peak." This disciple Gongshou Road.

"Autumn is boundless?!"

Zhao Kun's eyes changed slightly, and he was about to go to this boy to confirm, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come to his door.

I just don’t know if Qiu Wuji is the person on the killing order.

Zhao Kun withdrew his mind and stopped thinking about it.

Yes or no, the Qiu Wuji people are at the foot of the mountain. You will know after taking a look.

"Purple cloud jade pendant, isn't it? It's a bit interesting. I'll go take a look." Zhao Kun replied and disappeared from the spot.

Ziyun Jade Pendant is a token of Ziyun Peak's direct disciples.

Over the years, when the peak masters of Ziyun Peak or the elders with real power met a destined person when they went out, they would give the Purple Cloud Jade Pendant to them and ask them to come to Xuantian Dao Sect.

As long as you show the Ziyun Jade Pendant, you can directly become the direct disciple of Ziyun Peak.

Qiu Wuji stood in front of the gate of Ziyun Peak, with disciples coming and going around him.

"How slow is it in reporting the news?" Qiu Wuji complained in his heart.

Not long after, Qiu Wuji noticed a powerful aura approaching quickly in the distance.

Within half a minute, he saw a stream of light flying over the mountain forest in the eastern sky.

This stream of light attracted the disciples to stop and watch. When they saw the person in the stream of light, they all raised their hands and saluted.

"I've met Elder Zhao."

Elder Zhao landed under the mountain gate and nodded to the saluting disciples, but his eyes fell in the direction of Qiu Wuji.

He searched around for a while, then looked at Qiu Wuji uncertainly.

This young man is the only disciple around who is not wearing Ziyun Peak Taoist robes. He should be Qiu Wuji.

But Zhao Kun could not detect any spiritual power fluctuations from him, and his aura was ordinary, no different from ordinary people.

If there is anything special about him, it is that he is handsome, has a kind face, and has a refined temperament.

The only thing that attracted him to this young man was his unusual temperament.

It's obviously very ordinary, but it gives people a very different feeling.

"Are you Qiu Wuji?" Zhao Kun asked.

"Yes, disciple Qiu Wuji, I heard that this thing belongs to Ziyun Peak. With this thing, you can become a disciple of Ziyun Peak and become a direct disciple. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Qiu Wuji cupped his hands and handed the Purple Cloud Jade Pendant to Zhao Kun.

At this time, the surrounding Ziyun Peak disciples gathered around to eat the melon.

"Who is that? He actually has a Purple Cloud Jade Pendant!?"

"I remember that the Ziyun Jade Pendant is a token of our Ziyun Peak's direct disciples. Anyone who comes with this jade pendant can directly become my Ziyun Peak's direct disciple!"

"I don't know. It should be a destined person that one of my seniors from Ziyun Peak went out to find. He should be a genius."

"Elder Zhao just called him Qiu Wuji, right? There is a person named Qiu Wuji on the list of punishment reductions and exemptions released by the Punishment Hall today."

"That list is all the disciples who made mistakes and were imprisoned in Jingxin Lake. I don't remember any of our direct disciples from Ziyun Peak who were imprisoned."

"I guess they have the same name. How could a person who was imprisoned in Jingxin Lake get the Ziyun Jade Pendant? Our seniors at Ziyun Peak are not blind."

The disciples of Ziyun Peak were talking on the sidelines.

"Why, are you all so confident in the upcoming martial arts competition?" Zhao Kun looked around and asked seriously.

"..."

"Slip away."

レ(゚∀゚;)ヘ=3=3=3.

Seeing that Elder Zhao was about to get angry, the disciples hurriedly turned around and fled.

"The Purple Cloud Jade Pendant is real." Zhao Kun replied, returning the jade pendant to Qiu Wuji.

"Come with me, I will take you to see the peak master." Zhao Kun turned around and walked up the mountain.

Qiu Wuji quickly followed.

He didn't expect that the Ziyun Jade Pendant was so useful. After the elders of Ziyun Peak confirmed the authenticity of the jade pendant, they took him to see the peak master without asking about his identity or where he got it.

When the two of them were halfway up the mountain, Zhao Kun said, "Which senior gave you the Purple Cloud Jade Pendant?"

"He's an old man. I don't know his specific name. His surname is Han." Qiu Wuji said in a nonchalant manner.

"Han..." Zhao Kun recalled.

There were several elder peak masters of Ziyun Peak named Han, and he couldn't be sure which one they were. Anyway, it would be fine if the Ziyun Jade Pendant was real.

However, he didn't care who gave it to Qiu Wuji.

Just find an opportunity to deal with this kid secretly, no matter where he got the purple cloud jade pendant.

"You, reach out your hand." Zhao Kun said.

"Okay." Qiu Wuji stretched out his hand.

If his guess was correct, this elder should be exploring his body to see what his spiritual roots and aptitudes were.

"Without spiritual roots...are you just a physical practitioner?" Zhao Kun frowned, this was something he didn't expect.

"The Qiu Wuji released by the Punishment Hall today is you, right?" Zhao Kun asked again.

"He is indeed a disciple."

"Then you were a celebrity before." Zhao Kun smiled.

He understood roughly what was going on. Qiu Wuji's Purple Cloud Jade Pendant should have been obtained from the Demon Sealed Cave.

Those who guard the Demon-Sealed Cave are all peak masters or elders from past generations of each peak, and they are all masters among masters.

Jingxin Lake is so close to the Demon Sealed Cave, so this Qiu Wuji Purple Cloud Jade Pendant could only have been obtained from the old guys from the Demon Sealed Cave.

It's a pity that his cultivation is not enough, and he is just an ant in front of the ancestor.

It can only be detected that Qiu Wuji is a person without spiritual roots, and there is nothing special about this kid.

Qiu Wuji let go of his hand, looked at Zhao Kun's hand, narrowed his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Elder Zhao asked.

"It's nothing. I feel like Elder Zhao looks a little familiar, like we've seen each other before." Qiu Wuji replied.

"It's normal. We are both in Xuantian Dao Sect. Although you and I have different statuses, it is very possible that we have met before." Zhao Kun replied.

"Elder Zhao is right." Qiu Wuji nodded, looking like he suddenly understood.

Immediately, the two came to the top of Ziyun Peak.

A magnificent hall is located on the top of the peak, with the words "Ziyun Hall" written on it.

"I have used the jade slip to inform the Peak Master. The Peak Master and the other five elders are among them. You can come in with me." Zhao Kun said.

Qiu Wuji nodded and followed Zhao Kun, a blue light flashing across his eyes.

He could see that there was a vague barrier on Zhao Kun's body, hindering his exploration.

"Is it a magic weapon that masks the aura? It's interesting!"

Qiu Wuji's spiritual sea began to surge, and the power of Xuantian's divine pupils was fully opened. In just a few breaths, he passed through the barrier.

He captured a trace of extremely thin and difficult-to-find demonic aura permeating Zhao Kun's body.

Seeing this wisp of demonic energy, Qiu Wuji couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He came to Ziyun Peak and got an "unexpected surprise"!

Just now, Zhao Kun was exploring his body.

He suddenly felt something familiar.

This feeling was very similar to when he faced the suppressed demons in the Demon Sealed Cave.

Although Zhao Kun hid it deeply, he still revealed it a little bit when he used his spiritual power.

He was not sure, so he opened the Xuantian Divine Eye to confirm.

Sure enough, the deeply hidden demonic energy was keenly captured by his Xuantian Divine Eyes.

Zhao Kun has a magic weapon to protect his body. If he doesn't take the initiative to contact him, he will be protected by magic weapons.

Even if he possesses the Xuantian Divine Eyes, he may not be able to detect the fishy nature of this guy due to his realm limitations.

"A person from the demon clan has actually infiltrated into the Dao Sect, and is still occupying the position of the most powerful elder of the peak... It's interesting."

Qiu Wuji calmed down his mood and followed Zhao Kun into the Ziyun Hall.
