Seeking the Immortal Way

Lin Yan nodded his head slightly, he also thought the same way. With this concept and the support of the movement technique, if he were to meet a strong opponent in the future, he would at least be able to escape.

Meng Xinghe poured a cup of tea for Lin Yan and said: "Oh right, Lin Yan, have you heard about the matters concerning Zhao Qi in the sect?"

Lin Yan nodded his head and said: "I did hear some rumours. I heard that when Zhao Qi, who was in the Emerald Peak, left the team on a mission, he disappeared mysteriously, and no one knew where he went. Everyone split up and went to search for him.

After hearing Lin Yan's words, Meng Xinghe slightly shook his head and said to Lin Yan: "This matter isn't as simple as you think it is. The reason you are able to hear about this kind of thing, is not true at all;

"I'd like to hear more about it." Lin Yan nodded, and looked at Meng Xinghe who was in front of him with extreme curiosity.

Meng Xinghe took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in his hand, sighed, and said to Lin Yan: "The imposing aura had already happened before we left the sect for the flying cloud gate to participate in the exchange. After Zhao Qi came back from the secret realm, he had continuously said that he wanted to go into closed door cultivation, and after that, he found a cave in the back mountain to cultivate in closed door cultivation, and only came out of closed door cultivation half a month ago, and he did not tell anyone about this."

Pausing for a moment, Meng Xinghe continued: "I heard that when he came out, the Cultivation Level had already entered the middle stages of Ethereal Opening Realm, but his temperament had already changed. He, who was always so arrogant, now became quiet and taciturn, and did not interact with anyone.

"When the Emerald Peak's Peak Master, Xiao Mo, discovered this, especially when he was inspecting Zhao Qi's body, he discovered that the pure white genuine essence in his body had already started to mix with some black impurities, so he wanted to help Zhao Qi remove these black impurities. Just when Xiao Mo was about to circulate his energy around Zhao Qi's body, Zhao Qi suddenly turned around and injured Xiao Mo with a palm.

"The reason why the sect did not tell the entire story of the matter to the rest of the people and intentionally made it up as a pretense to make everyone believe it was real, was purely because of the effect it would have on the sect. After all, this matter was too detrimental to the sect, and at the same time, was also according to the intentions of Emerald Peak's Peak Master, Xiao Mo.

Hearing his master's words, Lin Yan was indeed shocked in his heart. He never would have thought that the situation would develop to this state.

"Master, there is one thing I do not understand, why would Zhao Qi attack my master? Even if he wants to leave the sect, it would be fine if he leaves while no one knows about it. Lin Yan asked Meng Xinghe, somewhat puzzled.

Meng Xinghe shook his head and said: "Regarding this matter, I have talked to Meng Xinghe before. According to what Xiao Mo said, after returning from the last time in the secret realm, some things hit Zhao Qi's heart quite a bit. At that time, Xiao Mo did not pay too much attention to it, and felt that Zhao Qi was just distracted by some things.

"But who would have thought that Zhao Qi seemed to be truly affected by these negative emotions. After coming out of seclusion, although the Cultivation Level had improved, the aura around his body seemed to be in disorder and there was even a black aura surrounding him. At the same time, the gaze he gave people seemed to be extremely cold.

Lin Yan frowned and asked Meng Xinghe: "That means that when this Zhao Qi came out of seclusion, he had already started showing signs of going berserk? Or could it be that he has already gone berserk? "

Meng Xinghe shook his head slightly and said: "There is still the third possibility, and that is that Zhao Qi had come into contact with an evil technique, so there is this kind of black Qi on his body. According to Xiao Mo, this black Qi is very likely to be an evil Qi, and adding that Zhao Qi's emotions have been fluctuating more and more recently, the evil Qi will become more and more intense, and over time, Zhao Qi might be able to control this evil Qi."

Lin Yan thought for a while, then asked his Master: "Didn't they say that the sect has already started to pay attention to this matter? Even after sending so many experts, we still could not find Zhao Qi? "

Meng Xinghe shook his head again: "From the time that happened, the Peak Master of the Emerald Peak was afraid that the sect would find out about this matter and harm Zhao Qi, and may even judge him as an evil cultivator to kill him. Thus, Xiao Mo did not do that, and only carried his injuries to the entrance of the sect to search, but there was no news of him."

"After that, we will return from the flying cloud gate, and only then did Xiao Mo inform the Sect Leader of what had happened. As such, a long period of time has passed since Zhao Qi left the Sky Cloud Martial Sect, and during this period of time, it is even possible that he will leave the northern region of the Profound Sky Continent. As for where he went to, it is unknown."

Lin Yan nodded, and asked Meng Xinghe: "Master, then how does the sect need to handle this matter? Are we really going to keep on searching like this? "

Meng Xinghe shook his head and sighed: "The sect feels somewhat regretful about this matter as well, disciples with purple spirit root s are truly rare, and I still hope that he can become the sect's pillar of support in the future. If Zhao Qi is able to return, take the initiative to admit his wrongs, take the punishment willingly, and withdraw the baleful aura from his body, then the sect might consider forgiving him."

"If he really falls into the Devil Dao and becomes an evil cultivator, opposing the righteous path, the Sky Cloud Martial Sect would have no choice but to expel him from their sect. Since ancient times, they might even send out experts to kill him, preventing him from endangering the human world and wreaking havoc in the Profound Sky Continent."

Lin Yan thought for a moment, sighed and said: "I hope that after he leaves the sect, he will not become enemies with the righteous path, and will not be killed by it, and will forever be infamous and die without a burial ground."

Meng Xinghe nodded, took a sip of tea, then looked at the churning sea of clouds in the distance, and said to Lin Yan: "Today, Master has something else to tell you, that I have come to find you, and that the sect will always have a few spots to go out and gain experience. You can go to a faraway place outside the sect, and also conveniently bring back from the outside some Spirit Grass immortal seedlings and strange beasts that the sect does not have, as well as some corresponding rewards."
