215: Chapter 215 Reunion with an Old Friend

Tianyan Sect, Tianxing Peak.

"The war has ended."

Beside Chen Lingtong, Chen Lingyi let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

"I didn't expect this war to come and go so quickly."

Han Lingfeng nodded on the side.

During this period, after they came to the Tianyan Sect with Immortal Master Tianqian, several of them were directly detained for investigation. Fortunately, they were indeed not members of the Anti-Immortal Alliance, so the Tianyan Sect did not make things difficult for them after the investigation.

Originally, they planned to leave and return to their respective families. However, given the special circumstances at the time, the Cultivators of the Tianyan Sect could not simply let them go, instead having them stay at Tianxing Peak as guests.

Although called guests, it was essentially house arrest, as they were not allowed to have any contact with the outside world. However, it was already fortunate that the Tianyan Sect did not kill them; previously, if there was even the slightest connection to the Anti-Immortal Alliance, they would have been killed long ago.

Previously, it was mainly because two Golden Core Masters saw that the three people's behavior was somewhat strange, coupled with the fact that Han Lingfeng was a member of a Purple Mansion Family, so they didn't take action rashly.

That being said, it was at least very safe here; they didn't have to go to the battlefield to fight enemies, and cultivating was not restricted here either.

The three of them had already been at the Tianyan Sect for a full month, and they had some understanding of the Sect's situation, which Han Lingfeng had also explained to them.

The Tianyan Sect was divided into inner and outer mountains, which was different from the inner and outer Sects of the Yuxu Sect.

The inner and outer mountains of the Tianyan Sect were not established specifically to divide inner and Outer Sect Disciples, so even in the outer mountain, quite a few Inner Sect Disciples lived there.

As for the inner mountain, there were only two requirements to enter: either one's cultivation was high enough, or one possessed a background.

Therefore, anyone who could enter the inner mountain either had a cultivation that reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage or was a Personal Disciple of a certain Elder, and so on.

As for the outer mountain, there were five peaks, and Tianxing Peak was one of them, garrisoned year-round by one or two Purple Mansion Masters.

Although Tianxing Peak was neither the strongest nor the weakest among the five outer mountain peaks, and its strength was just mediocre, it possessed an extraordinary status in the outer mountain thanks to the Law Enforcement Hall. Any Disciple who came here could not help feeling a sense of dread.

After all, the majesty of the Law Enforcement Hall had accumulated for a long time, and the Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall had always been cold and impartial. Any Disciple who made a mistake had to face severe torture, and once they went in, it was hard to have a chance to leave unscathed.

Therefore, during this period when Chen Lingtong and the other two lived on Tianxing Peak, the pressure they faced was immense, but unfortunately the Tianyan Sect did not let them leave.

However, with the war over, the Tianyan Sect had no reason to block their departure. Although Chen Lingtong and Chen Lingyi came from a Foundation Establishment Family, Han Lingfeng's identity was ultimately different. No matter what, no one would dare to casually target a descendant from a Purple Mansion faction.

Furthermore, several of them were not people from Qingzhou.

After a while, a youth wearing the dark-colored attire of a Law Enforcement Disciple walked over.

He looked at them and smiled, "You may leave now, everyone."

"Fellow Daoist Qian, is it true that the war on the front lines has ended?" Chen Lingtong asked. During this time, they had actually lived a relatively isolated life and didn't know much about outside affairs.

"Yes, it ended more than a month ago. Our Yan Country reached an agreement with several other Immortal Cultivation countries, ceding four and a half prefectures in exchange for the end of the war." When the dark-robed youth said this, his tone carried a hint of desolation.

Chen Lingtong and the others listened quietly, their hearts churning violently. Yan Country had ceded the territory of four and a half prefectures?

Could it be that Yan Country was defeated?!

"Let's not talk about this anymore; at least the Ghost Abyss has been sealed now." After saying this, the dark-robed youth turned around and left.

Chen Lingtong and the others immediately chose to leave. Since the Tianyan Sect was willing to let them go, they naturally had to seize the time to avoid any further complications.

As for outside matters, they could leave them to ask after departing.

...

"Eighteenth Younger Brother, I have already contacted Seventh Uncle. Seventh Uncle told us to wait for him in Qingzhou City, and he will come to receive us then." Chen Lingtong put away the transmission talisman and explained.

Chen Lingyi nodded, then turned to ask Han Lingfeng.

"Brother Lingfeng, what about you?"

"I have also contacted my Family, and my Family will send my older brother to look for me." Han Lingfeng said.

"Ah, that's good." Chen Lingtong nodded and said.

"Speaking of which, my older brother actually has some friendship with your Seventh Uncle!" Han Lingfeng remembered something and then spoke up.

"Hmm? You're saying our Seventh Uncle has a friendship with your older brother? What do you mean by that?" Hearing this, Chen Lingyi's gossipy nature ignited, and he hurriedly pressed for details.

Chen Lingtong at the side also looked over.

Han Lingfeng coughed lightly and explained slowly, "Decades ago, Taihe Market held a Taihe Assembly. Back then, both my older brother and your Seventh Uncle participated, and it is said that the two of them even fought each other."

"Fought each other? Who won and who lost?" Chen Lingyi and the other looked surprised, not expecting that Seventh Uncle Chen Changqing actually had such a past.

"Uh, well! It seems, according to my older brother, your Seventh Uncle was only at the Qi Condensation 7th Layer back then, while my older brother had already reached the Qi Condensation 8th Layer. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and in the end, my older brother fell short by a narrow margin and was defeated by your Seventh Uncle." Han Lingfeng said with a bitter shake of his head.

"What kind of Genius is my older brother? Not only is he the most outstanding Genius of our Han Family in these past few hundreds of years, but even in the entire Cang Prefecture, there are very few who can match him. Yet, someone like him still lost to your Seventh Uncle!"

"If your Seventh Uncle comes over and happens to run into my older brother, I wonder what it will be like?" Han Lingfeng suddenly became filled with anticipation.

Chen Lingtong and Chen Lingyi also suddenly felt a bit expectant. They hadn't seen Seventh Uncle for a full four years, and they didn't know what level Seventh Uncle's cultivation had reached now. Previously, when they were still in the Family, Seventh Uncle's cultivation should have been at the Foundation Establishment 6th Layer.

Four years had passed; now it might have even reached the Foundation Establishment 7th Layer.

As for the older brother Han Lingfeng mentioned, although he was one level higher in cultivation than Seventh Uncle back then, he probably couldn't compare to Seventh Uncle now, right?

The three of them stayed at an inn in Qingzhou first, waiting for the arrival of Chen Changqing and Han Lingjun.

...

The war had ended for over a month, and Chen Changqing and the others had already followed the main force to leave Jizhou City. However, there was no teleportation array this time, so they could only leave on their own.

"Junior Martial Nephew Lingyuan, my Family members just sent me a message. I'm going to go pick them up right now and won't be traveling the same way with you. Please help me greet Master first and tell him that Changqing will return to pay respects to Master after picking up my Family members." Chen Changqing explained.

"I understand, then Junior Martial Uncle, please take care on your journey." Master Lingyuan nodded.

Chen Changqing accelerated toward Master Baiye, explained the reason, and then left.

On the other side, Han Lingjun came out of seclusion, and his first task was to head to Qingzhou to look for Han Lingfeng.

Ever since his younger brother suddenly disappeared a few years ago, he and his parents had been very worried, even sending quite a few Cultivators from the Family to search for him, but the result was complete silence. Originally, they had already given up, only for this brat to pop up again.
