So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Not far from the Pilgrimage Hall, there is an aerial pavilion.

Yan Ruyu was sitting in the aerial pavilion, watching the disciples who had just entered the cave and were immediately "invited" out.

These disciples stood in front of the square, their eyes full of astonishment, as if they had not expected to be eliminated just after entering the cave.

Sitting next to her was Ying Guhuan, the head of Canghai Peak who rarely went out.

In addition, there were Yu Ziyan, the head of Dao Peak, and Yu Xuanji, the head of Tianji Peak.

People who didn't know might think that the heads came because of the previous shock of the Pilgrimage Hall, but in fact, they just came to see Mu Zhian's refining spirit realm thunder tribulation.

As for the cave that appeared out of thin air in the Pilgrimage Hall... the people of the Law Enforcement Hall had sent news before that this matter could be put aside for the time being, and the sect master had other arrangements.

Since the sect master said so, they naturally had no need to stop the disciples from entering this mysterious cave.

"This Mu Zhian is really a bit strange. The other disciples have been sent out one after another, but he seems to have been in the cave with Ye Qian for a while? He hasn't come out yet." Yu Xuanji held a cup of tea in his hand, looked in the direction of the Pilgrimage Temple, and couldn't help whispering to himself.

"According to Junior Sister Lan, although Mu Zhian is not a person with great luck, his luck is also special." Yu Ziyan smiled lightly, "His luck is pink."

"I have heard of this, it's really interesting... pink luck, I have never heard of it before." Ying Guhuan gazed at the bronze gate in the distance with gentle eyes, and said softly, "It is this pink luck that attracted Senior Linglong?"

Yan Ruyu never spoke, just stared at the direction of the cave, maintaining her usual aloofness and indifference.

At this time, Yu Ziyan beside him suddenly smiled and said: "Junior Sister has been silent, but she is already preparing to collect the nets and catch fish?"

The meaning of this sentence is already very obvious.

But it also made Yan Ruyu frown slightly, and she said lightly: "Senior sister, you are joking. I only admired Mu Zhian's way of dealing with people and his talent in the past, so I accepted him as an inner disciple. I never had any other thoughts."

Bah, shameless!

There was no sound in the court, but when the other three leaders looked at the woman with a black robe lightly draped over her body and a plump and attractive figure, they almost all had this thought in their minds.

"Since Junior Sister doesn't care much about Mu Zhian as an inner disciple, why don't you let him come to my Daofeng. I will give him the same resources as an inner disciple." Yu Ziyan showed a very beautiful smile.

Yan Ruyu shook her head and smiled faintly: "Daofeng cannot give him the title of inner disciple, so let him stay in the library first."

"After all, he is my important disciple."

"Since Junior Sister Yan favors Mu Zhian so much, I don't intend to take away someone else's love." Ying Guhuan drank a sip of tea, turned his head and stared at Yan Ruyu's beautiful profile, and smiled faintly:

"But after this, I have something to talk to him about. Can Junior Sister not stop him later?"

"Master Ying is joking. Mu Zhian makes his own choice to do what he wants. I won't interfere with his decision." Yan Ruyu said faintly.

She paused and continued, "But I also have something to talk to him about later. After all, after entering the Soul Refining Realm, there are some things that need to be noted that need to be explained to him."

Yu Ziyan smiled and looked over, saying, "Junior sister shouldn't say bad things about me in his ears because of the little hatred between us in the past, right?"

"I'm not the kind of person that Senior Sister is." Yan Ruyu didn't give a single good look to this former Daofeng Senior Sister, and responded coldly.

"Then let Mu Xiaoyou decide which main peak to go to first, how about that?" Yu Xuanji was dressed in a black robe, with a beautiful face, seductive and charming, with a different charm, like a young woman who had just turned thirty, both temperament and appearance were top-notch.

Yan Ruyu glanced inadvertently in the direction of the bronze gate.

"Okay."

"Then let me, your disciple, decide for myself at that time."

Mu Zhian, who had just entered the cave, obviously didn't know that he, the fish pond owner, had been surrounded by great white sharks, and was walking in this gloomy cave with Ye Qian.

"Hiss... I feel this place is a bit gloomy." Mu Zhian couldn't help but whisper to himself.

He and Ye Qian had just received the teleportation jade slip given by An Lingyue, the senior sister of Canghai Peak who led the team this time, and then followed the large group into this ancient cave.

Different from the last Linglong's cave, the moment he stepped into this cave, Mu Zhian felt a gloomy and weird feeling all around, which was chilling.

Mu Zhian glanced at the several large groups walking in front. These sect disciples knew each other. At this time, they just formed more than a dozen teams and were walking into the depths of the cave.

He also saw several familiar figures in front, and the most conspicuous one was probably An Lingyue, the senior sister of Canghai Peak.

She was dressed in classical style, surrounded by the crowd, like a star surrounded by the moon, and she was smiling as she talked to other disciples.

This figure... she was also a humble woman.

Not far from this senior sister was Ye Yu, who was wearing a black robe and walking with another female cultivator.

However, Mu Zhian was not very interested in women, so he just quickly scanned An Lingyue from top to bottom, and then glanced at her twisting hips twice, and then retracted his gaze.

Suddenly, he noticed the cold and gloomy eyes of the girl beside him, but Mu Zhian seemed not to notice and sent a voice transmission: "Qian'er, do you hear that voice now?"

"Brother Mu is really fickle." Ye Qian whispered with dissatisfaction.

Although he was excited when he saw Ye Lingxuan and Mu Zhian together, it did not mean that he would be excited when he saw Mu Zhian was attracted to other women.

But soon, Ye Qian collected his thoughts, held his breath and tried to identify where the female voice that called him came from.

Mu Zhian did not disturb them, but just held Ye Qian's hand and followed behind these sect disciples.

Soon, nine bottomless holes appeared in front of them. The surface of the hole was engraved with ancient dragons. Each dragon had a different shape, but they were all carved lifelike.

An Lingyue turned to look at everyone, smiling, and said: "Everyone, remember what I said just now. If there is any danger, just crush the jade slip in your hand and you can leave this place immediately."

Mu Zhian glanced at the jade slip in his hand. He could feel a certain formation from it. It should be from the hands of a certain chief.

If I remember correctly, the person who is most proficient in formation seems to be Yu Xuanji from Tianji Peak.

My Hundred Birds Chain Formation has encountered some bottlenecks recently. Maybe after leaving this time, I should find an opportunity to ask her for advice...Mu Zhian looked at the senior sister who looked reserved and elegant in the front, but was thinking about such things in his heart.

After discussing with each other, several teams all chose a cave entrance to enter.

Mu Zhian was not in a hurry, and silently waited for Ye Qian's response.

Since a certain woman in this cave wants Ye Qian to come in to find her, now that he has brought everyone here, it is impossible for him to suddenly remain silent, right?

As the sect disciples stepped into the cave, the lively cave seemed a little deserted.

An Lingyue stepped forward, staring at Mu Zhian and the others with a pair of starry eyes, and smiled: "If you two don't know how to choose, you can follow me if you don't mind."

Mu Zhian was a little surprised, secretly looked at this beautiful lady with the charm of a lady, and then clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for your kindness, senior sister, but I want to think carefully before making a decision."

Ye Yu had just entered the sixth cave. If Qian'er didn't hear the woman's voice later, she would follow Ye Yu... After all, Ye Yu was blessed by the heaven, and his luck would not be too bad under normal circumstances.

At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from the team behind An Lingyue: "You really don't know what's good for you."

Mu Zhian looked in the direction of the voice, and it was a young man he had met once when he went to Canghai Peak before.

Song Ziyang, he became a disciple of Canghai Peak in the last sect assessment. He had pursued Bai Ruoxi for a while before, but the latter ignored him.

It turned out to be a loser... Mu Zhian ignored him, staring at An Lingyue, with a difficult expression on his face, and said: "It seems that there are also people in the senior sister's team who don't like the younger generation. It turns out that Qian'er and I should wait a little longer."

An Lingyue frowned slightly, but she had to smile and nodded, saying: "If you encounter any danger, remember to crush the jade slip immediately."

"Thank you for your reminder, senior sister." Mu Zhian answered sincerely and respectfully.

An Lingyue smiled lightly, then turned around and came to a cave with other sect disciples.

She felt a little regretful in her heart. After all, Bai Ruoxi was her favorite junior sister in Canghai Peak. For her junior sister's Taoist partner, she naturally wanted to take care of him more.

And a sincere and well-spoken disciple like Mu Zhian is also very likable.

But there is nothing she can do if the other party doesn't want to go with her.

"Ziyi, can you figure out which of these nine caves is the best?" An Lingyue turned her head and looked at the girl beside her and asked.

Song Ziyi, a disciple of Tianji Peak, closed her eyes silently at this moment, as if she was reasoning about something.

After a while, she opened her eyes, frowned, stared at the ninth cave with fear, and said: "The hexagram of the ninth cave is very bad, and the other caves seem to be similar."

The "Tao" of Tianji Peak is really interesting. It can predict the danger in advance and then avoid it in advance... Mu Zhian looked at the girl who looked weak and couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

After everyone walked into the cave, Mu Zhian's sight returned to Ye Qian again. Seeing that she closed her eyes and seemed to be feeling something, he continued to wait patiently.

After a while, he saw Ye Qian quietly opened her eyes and asked, "Did you hear that voice, Qian'er?"

Ye Qian nodded gently and said hesitantly, "I heard it."

She pointed to the ninth cave entrance and said, "The voice came from here."

"The voice came from this fierce cave entrance?" Mu Zhian was a little surprised.

Is it that Song Ziyi's calculation is wrong, or is it that Qian'er heard the voice...?

After a brief thought, he finally chose to believe Ye Qian.

"In that case, let's go in and take a look. If there is really danger, we can also use the jade slip to escape from here."

It seems that there is a disciple from Tianji Peak in the team that entered the cave this time. After calculating, they all noticed the abnormality of the ninth cave entrance, so there were almost no disciples of the sect in the ninth cave entrance.

Mu Zhian and Ye Qian walked into the ninth cave entrance, walked along a quiet path for a while, and a well-arranged courtyard came into view.

There are many rare trees and precious plants planted in the courtyard, and the layout looks quite exquisite. The gurgling spring water can be clearly heard by the ears, making people feel as if they have returned to the most primitive nature.

"This doesn't look like a dangerous place at all..." Mu Zhian frowned, still cautious and alert.

Ye Qian, who was standing aside, suddenly raised his head, his eyes slightly bright, staring at the depths ahead, and said: "The senior is in this depth, I heard her voice!"

Why didn't I hear anything... Mu Zhian looked at Ye Qian strangely, and then nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

Going a little further inside, the environment inside became more quiet. There was an attic built by the lake, where fairy mist was filled.

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly heard the sound of a zither like the sound of nature.

This sound came from the attic!

The sound of the zither lingered, and Mu Zhian looked carefully and found that in the attic, there seemed to be a fairy in a green skirt gently stroking the zither. She had an extraordinary temperament. Although separated by the fairy mist, she still made people feel the hazy beauty.

Mu Zhian walked slowly towards the attic in front, holding Ye Qian's hand tightly.

It would be troublesome if they got separated in such a misty place.

As the two approached, the sound of the zither came into their ears more and more clearly. Mu Zhian also saw a few scattered disciples of the sect in the misty fairy.

Obviously, these disciples did not choose to join the big team, but became lone rangers and came here by accident.

In the misty fairy, a jade building appeared in front of them, and the graceful figure of the fairy in the green skirt also came into view more and more clearly.

Suddenly, her fingers that were stroking the zither moved upwards. Mu Zhian's heart was shocked. He stared at the fairy in green skirt. His thoughts seemed to change with the sound of the zither. At this moment, he seemed to see a battlefield with thousands of troops fighting in his mind. He was stunned.

Something was wrong with this place... Mu Zhian bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and the slight tingling made him calm down a little.

This fairy's zither was like the sound of nature, and it could infect other people's emotions!

Mu Zhian looked up again and stared at the beautiful fairy in the attic. After taking a few glances at her graceful body, he finally forgot the sound of the zither just now.

At this time, Ye Qian on the side suddenly whispered: "Brother Mu, it's her!"

Mu Zhian was stunned and looked up.

In the attic, the fairy in green skirt stroked the zither with her delicate hands, and the sound of the zither stopped leisurely, leaving people with an unfinished feeling.

She raised her eyes, as if she were a fairy in Guanghan Palace, holy and distant, like a dream, and difficult to approach.

At this moment, she was staring at the two of them silently.
