Four brothers

In the forest, Bai Ling calmed her mixed feelings.

Her understanding of her Senior Disciple had deepened.

"Senior Disciple, let's go! Master is waiting for you up there."

Bai Ling pointed to the sky!

These words instantly invigorated Du Hao.

"Master is here too?!"

Du Hao genuinely missed Zhong Qing.

Although the Master and Disciple didn't interact much, and hadn't known each other for long.

But the moment he accepted him as a Disciple, he not only gave him the Overlord Body Inheritance but also taught him an invincible recovery secret art.

This significantly boosted his life-saving abilities.

How could Du Hao not love such a Master?

Above the firmament!

When Bai Ling brought Du Hao before Zhong Qing.

Du Hao immediately knelt down before Zhong Qing with a thud.

"Master, your Disciple misses you so much!"

At this moment, his eyes were slightly red.

There was no pretense, only genuine emotion.

This somewhat comforted Zhong Qing's heart.

While this Disciple's personality was a bit of a waste, his attitude and affection towards him, his Master, were commendable.

He immediately said, "I have come on this trip specifically to bring you back to the Sect."

"Are you willing to return with me?"

"Everything is up to Master!"

Du Hao was naturally willing.

"Oh, Master, Hei Bai is still waiting for me in Qiyuan City."

"Please wait a moment, Master, while I go fetch him."

Earlier, Zhong Qing had set out from the Eastern Domain with Hei Bai, and during their pursuit of this third Disciple, he got separated from Hei Bai.

At the same time, due to Bai Ling's matter, he left in a hurry and used a communication jade slip to have Hei Bai go find Du Hao first.

"Let's go together!"

Zhong Qing waved his large hand.

He took everyone along on the journey.

Given his Disciple's cautious nature, if he were to wait for him to return, the time that would normally take an incense stick to burn might be stretched tenfold.

As the group set off in a grand manner.

Du Hao quietly said to Zhong Qing, "Master, can we go a bit slower?"

"Why?"

Zhong Qing frowned, his expression slightly serious.

Du Hao looked around, seeing nothing unusual.

Then he quietly explained, "Recently, a new force has risen in the Northern Domain, called the Demon Palace, Master probably doesn't know about it yet!"

"The Demon Palace's strength is extremely terrifying, and their actions are quite arrogant."

"If we get targeted by them, that would be terrible!"

"So, Master, your Disciple thinks it's better for us to act discreetly."

Zhong Qing: "..."

Twelve Demon Generals: "..."

Bai Ling: "..."

Ox and Horse: "..."

Their gazes collectively and eerily focused on Du Hao.

The latter felt his scalp tingle under their stares.

He weakly said, "Master, did I say something wrong?"

Zhong Qing spoke eerily, "You said it very well, don't say it again next time."

Du Hao stared blankly at the sky.

He was contemplating a philosophical question.

That was: Was Master praising him? Or mocking him?

In the end, he could only sigh: Master is indeed Master, his words are so philosophical.

Making it impossible to fathom.

The rest of the journey was very smooth.

Zhong Qing arrived in Qiyuan City and called for Hei Bai.

The group then set off grandly towards the Eastern Domain once more.

In just a few days, everyone arrived at the territory of the Immortal River Sect.

The Eastern Domain was different from the Northern Domain.

The Northern Domain was perpetually covered in ice and snow.

Everywhere was frozen ground.

The Eastern Domain was now in summer!

The mountains and rivers were a vibrant green, with red flowers and green fruits, a scene full of vitality.

Crossing two domains felt as if one was experiencing the change of four seasons!

Zhong Qing led the group without alarming the people of the Immortal River Sect.

He ascended the mountain very discreetly and arrived at Mufu Peak!

Looking around.

The peaks on the mountain were like pillars!

Strange mountains and rugged rocks abounded.

The mountain was a vibrant green!

The misty spiritual energy was overwhelming.

A thatched hut stood on the top of the green mountain.

There were two trees in front of the house!

One was a jujube tree!

The other, was still a jujube tree!

Compared to before Zhong Qing's departure, Mufu Peak had clearly undergone some changes.

The mountain was greener than before.

The spiritual energy was also a bit denser than before.

There was a cauldron in front of the door!

The two great Outer Sect Disciples, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian, were chatting and joking beside the cauldron.

Wu Yue: "How long has the Peak Master been gone?"

"He should be back soon, right?"

Shi Xiaotian: "It should be soon!"

"I wonder if the Peak Master will like this gift we prepared?"

He looked at the bronze alchemy cauldron.

This was a treasure the two brothers had painstakingly dug out of a ruin.

Its quality was extremely high.

It helped to increase the success rate of alchemy.

It was also the gift they planned to give to Zhong Qing.

After all, they knew how obsessed their Peak Master was with alchemy.

In fact, it was because of alchemy that they had formed an indissoluble bond with the Peak Master.

It was just a pity that after returning from Dan City, the Peak Master had never refined elixirs again.

They speculated that it was probably because their Peak Master had blown up a furnace while refining elixirs in Dan City, and didn't have a suitable alchemy furnace.

As Outer Sect Disciples, they naturally wanted to think what the Peak Master thought and worry about what the Peak Master worried about.

To solve the Peak Master's worries.

Just as the two were speaking!

Between heaven and earth, streams of light flickered, and Zhong Qing had already landed with everyone at Mufu Peak, in front of the thatched hut.

"Peak Master!"

Shi Xiaotian and Wu Yue cried out in surprise.

Zhong Qing nodded.

"Has anything happened in the Sect during this time?"

"Reporting to Peak Master, everything is well!"

"The Immortal River Sect has now entered the right track and is entering a path of rapid development."

As the few of them spoke, they startled Lin Feng and Su Ye, who were cultivating in seclusion.

The two quickly ended their seclusion.

They ran out quickly.

They bowed deeply to Zhong Qing.

Shouting, "Master!"

Their words were full of excitement.

Clearly, they also missed Zhong Qing dearly.

And in Lin Feng's ring, Sword Elder was stunned when he saw the people around Zhong Qing.

He was completely dumbfounded.

"Good heavens!"

"Is this an Immortal Emperor?"

"After one trip out, so many strong individuals are following him."

Regarding the people around Zhong Qing, he felt that even if he recovered to his peak, any one of them could easily defeat him.

Outside the thatched hut!

Zhong Qing looked at his two earliest Disciples.

He had to say, they were very diligent, always remembering to cultivate.

He was quite pleased with this point.

It was just that their cultivation was indeed a bit lacking.

It seemed he needed to find a way to strengthen them as soon as possible.

While thinking this, Zhong Qing said calmly, "No need for so much courtesy, rise!"

"Let me introduce you!"

"This is Lin Feng, Mufu Peak's Senior Disciple!"

"This is Su Ye, Mufu Peak's Second Senior Disciple!"

"This is Du Hao, my newly accepted Disciple, Mufu Peak's Third Senior Disciple."

"This is Bai Ling, also my newly accepted Disciple, Mufu Peak's Fourth Junior Disciple."

"You are all my Disciples, from now on, you should be more intimate and help each other."

"We obey Master's command!"

The four Disciples clasped their fists in response, while curiously sizing each other up.

As Zhong Qing returned with the group, the entire Mufu Peak clearly gained more vitality and vigor.

The original Mufu Peak only had a few people.

But now, it seemed to have a flourishing and prosperous appearance.

This made Zhong Qing quite emotional.

If Master Daoist Nai knew this in the afterlife, he would probably be quite pleased!
