C14 Return to the Mountain

Back to the mountains.

Logically speaking, after the true disciples completed their mission and returned to the Mountain, they should report back to the finger peak. However, Du Lin felt pity for Ye Zhifa's young age, so he let him return to the Qinxi Mountain and return to the Falling Goose Peak first.

When Ye Zhifa checked his identity at the gatekeeping disciple's place and returned to the Falling Goose Peak, he saw Du Lin sitting outside the Cloud Immortal Palace and drinking.

If an ordinary person drank in winter, they would naturally make a stove and warm the wine while slowly tasting it. However, Du Lin was different. He was currently holding a jar that was a lot bigger than his head and drinking it like a cow.

After staying on the mountain for half a month, Ye Zhifa also knew what kind of person his master was. He did not care about these things and directly shouted to him, "Master, I'm back."

Du Lin was drinking big mouthfuls of wine when he suddenly heard Ye Zhifa's shout. He seemed to be shocked. After putting down the jar, he coughed a few times and then looked up at Ye Zhifa.

"Zhifa, you're back. Eh? Why are you in such a sorry state?"

Du Lin looked up and down and found that Ye Zhifa's clothes were tattered. There was a bare sword hilt on his belt. He looked very pitiful.

Ye Zhifa could only smile bitterly when he heard him ask that. He handed the white tiger skin over.

"Master, this tiger is about to become a demon. I almost couldn't come back."

Du Lin didn't pay any attention to the white tiger skin when he heard this. He pointed his finger at Ye Zhifa's forehead and said with a slight frown, "My Qi and blood are surging and all my organs are injured. Fortunately, my injuries aren't serious. I'll be fine after recuperating for two days."

After confirming Ye Zhifa's injuries, Du Lin looked at the tiger skin in his hand. Realizing that it was indeed different from ordinary beast skin, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Huangfu Xuan really went through a lot of trouble to find a white tiger that is about to transform into a demon to make things difficult for you. It is impolite to not reciprocate when you come. Knowing the law, do you want to go with me to see Huangfu Xuan? "

Ye Zhifa was also very curious about Huangfu Xuan. Since Du Lin wanted to show him, he naturally agreed readily. However, before he left, he still had some questions he wanted to ask Du Lin.

"Master, where is the Meteor gate sect located?"

"Meteor gate? Zhifa, how did you suddenly know about this sect?"

"When I went down the mountain to kill the tiger, I met a friend who came from the Meteor gate. He was loyal and heroic, because on the way, he met a little girl whose parents were killed by the tiger. He chased after me for thousands of miles until he found the Creek Village. However, for some reason, when I asked him where the Meteor gate was, he was actually unwilling to answer. Instead, he asked me to ask you, Master."

Du Lin had already relaxed his brows, but after hearing Ye Zhifa mention the Meteor gate, he furrowed his brows once more. It wasn't until his disciple finished explaining the sequence of events that his frown began again.

" So that's how it is. It seems like this disciple of the Meteor gate is really someone who can be trusted. As for the location of the Meteor gate... A thousand miles east of the Qinxi Mountain, the number one mountain of the Cold Forest Country, Mount Dingyang, was located. The Meteor gate is near Mount Dingyang." After Du Lin said the location of the Meteor gate, his tone became slightly more serious. He then said, "But, do you know why the disciple of the Meteor gate has such a reaction?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Speaking up to this point, Du Lin let out a long sigh and told Ye Zhifa some things about the past.

It turned out that several hundred years ago, there was a large sect in the Cold Forest Country called the Three Flowers Dao Palace. Later on, because the disciples in the sect had different opinions, the huge Three Flowers Dao Palace actually split into two. The faction that specialized in sword arts left the Qinxi Mountain and became today's Zhehua Sword Palace. As for the portion of disciples that remained in the old location of the Three Flowers Dao Palace, they changed to another sect and called themselves Sun Moon and Star Sect.

For the past few hundred years, the two factions had changed because of their ideals. Now, they had already formed a deadly enmity. The ancestor of the Meteor gate was a disciple who had graduated from the Sun Moon and Star Sect. Both sects had always been on the same side. There was no need to say much about their relationship with the Zhehua Sword Palace.

Only now did Ye Zhifa know that he had actually spent a few days with a disciple who had a grudge with him. If the other party wanted to attack him, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhifa couldn't help but look at Di Quji even more highly. He deeply felt that this person was a friend worth befriending.

"This is also my fault. I never thought that I would meet a disciple of the Meteor gate under the Qinxi Mountain. Looks like I'll have to give you a few more pointers in the future. Zhifa, if there aren't any other problems, we'll set off for the finger peak. "

Ye Zhifa shook his head, indicating that there were no additional problems. Then, he saw Du Lin wave his sleeve again, and the two of them arrived on the finger peak in an instant.

After following Du Lin for a while, Ye Zhifa saw the biggest building in the Zhehua Sword Palace - the Yi Sword Palace.

When the disciples guarding the Yi Sword Palace saw Du Lin, they wanted to greet him, but Du Lin pushed open the door and entered. At this moment, there were a few people sitting around the Yi Sword Palace, discussing matters.

Ye Zhifa followed Du Lin into the Yi Sword Palace. When he found that there were no familiar faces among them, he continued to hide in Du Lin's place.

"Junior brother Du, why did you suddenly come?"

Du Lin ignored the elder who was talking to him. Instead, he threw the white tiger skin in front of the Daoist in the middle.

This Daoist was dressed in a black Daoist robe. He had a black beard and black hair. However, there was a trace of vicissitude in his eyes. He didn't get angry when he saw Du Lin being so impolite. Instead, he asked in an amiable manner, "Junior Brother Du, what do you mean by this?"

"Senior Brother Huangfu, my disciple Ye Zhifa has completed the true disciple mission that you have assigned him. Now, I have brought him here to report to you."

Huangfu Xuan nodded and glanced at the white tiger skin on the ground. He continued in his previous tone, "That's right, it is indeed the white tiger skin. Junior brother has taken in a good disciple. He is really efficient in handling matters."

"How is this disciple of mine any good? He hasn't even reached the Spirit Power Realm yet. He'll definitely be the last of the Sword Palace's true disciples. However, for some reason, this disciple of mine who is only at the inner force realm... I can't believe I ran into a white tiger about to turn into a demon. Senior brother, do you think this matter is strange? "

" I think there is something wrong with the information. Luckily, junior disciple is blessed by the heavens. This tiger demon did not make things difficult for him. "

"That's true. I just hope that there won't be any similar problems next time."

After saying this, Du Lin held Ye Zhifa's hand, who still had a blank expression on his face. He turned around and stepped into the Yi Sword Palace.

The moment he stepped out of the Yi Sword Palace, the sword Qi on the white tiger skin suddenly increased, blowing the tiger skin into pieces.

At this moment, Du Lin's laughter could be heard coming from outside the Yi Sword Palace. When he looked again, he could no longer see the two of them.

"Senior Brother Huangfu, this Du Lin..."

An elder beside Huangfu Xuan was about to speak when he was frightened by Huangfu Xuan's ashen face. He didn't even dare to make a sound.

"What a good Du Lin, what a good Ye Zhifa, what a good Falling Goose Peak!"

Ye Zhifa, who had already returned to the Falling Goose Peak, didn't know that Huangfu Xuan had sprayed poison on the Yi Sword Palace. At this moment, he was only listening to Du Lin's teachings attentively.

"Knowing the law, Huangfu Xuan will not let this matter rest just like that. He is a person who values his reputation the most. He will definitely think of another way to take revenge on you. Now that the head senior brother is in secluded cultivation and waiting for him to break through to the Freedom Realm, the two of them in the Sword Palace have the final say. With his master here, Huangfu Xuan does not dare to come with a knife or spear. But you still need to improve your cultivation to be able to guard against the hidden dagger."

"Yes, disciple will keep that in mind."

After answering, Ye Zhifa turned around and looked at the finger peak that pierced into the clouds behind him.

Whether it was revenge or survival, he needed to work harder!
