Chapter 262 Return to the Clouds

A war changed the pattern of the Lingnan cultivation world, affecting the fate of many small sects and small families, and involving countless cultivators in this vortex.

At this moment, a small flying boat was moving silently over the sky of Qingyun Sect, one of the two major sects at the center of the vortex.

Responsible for air defense, the sky full of puddles over Qingyun Sect intercepted the flying boat.

But soon, the latter threw out a corresponding spiritual leaf token, and it was soon allowed to enter.

Soon, the flying boat landed on the ground for a second identity verification.

Not long after, several people completed the identity verification, and then Lin Chen led Zhang Mengyao, who was delicate and graceful, and Zhang Hao, who was dressed in gray, to fly towards Qingquan Peak.

It was about two hundred miles from the mountain gate to Qingquan Peak. Half a minute later, several people arrived at Qingquan Peak.

When they returned to the sect, they not only had to verify their identities, but also had to contact the Qingquan Sect General Affairs Hall to report to determine and restore the rights and obligations of various places in their sect.

Several people soon arrived at Qingquan Peak.

There are hundreds of pavilions and terraces of all sizes on Qingquan Peak, but they are not messy but neatly arranged according to a certain pattern, giving people a pleasing feeling. If mortals see it, they will definitely think it is the place where immortals live.

Qingquan Peak is still crowded with people. Although there are still many people between various buildings, it is obviously much sparser than before.

Some people have fear on their faces, afraid of being taken to the front line and losing their lives; some people are excited. After hearing too many legends about the rise of others, they feel that they can do it themselves, and they also want to go to the front line to fight, show their power and fame, and finally be respected.

Of course, more people are in a heavy mood, with anxiety and confusion in their eyes.

Lin Chen walked in front, and the other two followed behind. Qingquan Peak could not fly with swords, so several people landed at the foot of the mountain and rushed towards the General Affairs Hall.

Along the way, Qi Refining disciples gathered together from time to time to discuss the battle situation on the front line.

There are already thousands of Qi Refining cultivators sent to the front line of Qingyun Sect, and many of them have become famous now, such as "Little Corpse Demon" and "Wild Wind Sword".

Of course, the most famous one is the discussion of the two generations of true disciples of Qingyun Sect.

Among the tens of thousands of Qi Refining cultivators, there are always some who are far more powerful than others. After going through trials and tribulations, they stand out and become "heroes" and "legends", and they are naturally qualified to become the new generation of true disciples of Qingyun Sect.

And the discussion of the previous generation of true disciples also includes [Sword Fairy] Zhang Mengyao, [Treasure Taoist] Zhang Hao and the like.

"[Taoist of Hundred Treasures]?" When Lin Chen heard this name, an inexplicable smile welled up in his eyes. He looked Zhang Hao up and down and said with a smile, "Sure enough, there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. This name is quite suitable for you."

When Zhang Hao started fighting, he threw away the talismans and spiritual tools as if they were worthless. He also had a large number of elixirs and various strange methods. Isn't he the Taoist of Hundred Treasures?

Zhang Hao met Lin Chen's gaze and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable all over. He curled his lips and said suddenly:

"No matter how strange my name is, it is not as mysterious as my senior brother's? The illegitimate son of the Golden Elixir Patriarch, the pillow of the sect boss, the mysterious but true disciple that no one has ever seen!"

Huh? !

Lin Chen paused and turned his head: "I can understand the mysterious true disciple who I have never seen, but what is the illegitimate child and the person next to me?!"

"It's because you have never appeared in front of the disciples, and you have occupied the quota of the previous generation of true disciples. It's normal for these people to speculate." Zhang Mengyao said calmly.

Her tone was serious, but with her round, pink, and rosy face like a cherry, not only did she not give people a sense of aloofness, but she also had an indescribable contrast.

But what she said was not wrong. Although the top leaders knew Lin Chen, only the Jindan Patriarch and the true disciples knew about it. It can be said that no more than ten people knew about Lin Chen.

As for Lin Chen's deeds, except for the outer sect competition that year, others knew very little.

Although there was news about the place where the gods fell, it was a top secret of Qingyun Sect. Most of the foundation-building elders had never heard of it, let alone these disciples.

For a mysterious person who has no obvious achievements and occupies a lot of benefits, gossip is inevitable.

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled helplessly: "Rumors hurt people."

But Lin Chen didn't take it to heart. With his strength, it would be easy for him to compete for the limelight on the battlefield, but he was not the kind of person who liked to show off.

On the contrary, he was quite satisfied with the current state. Most people knew of his existence, but no one had ever seen him.

In this way, as long as he proved his identity, he would have enough power, and at the same time, it would reduce the targeting of hostile demon cultivators.

After all, the less information a person leaks, the more difficult it is to hunt him, because there is no way to target him, and no one knows what kind of trump card he has.

While talking, several people came to the General Affairs Hall and walked in.

Although they couldn't recognize the new students Zhang Mengyao and Lin Chen, Zhang Hao seemed to come here often, and the people in the hall were particularly familiar with him, so someone soon came to greet him.

"Senior Brother Zhang Hao." A middle-aged foundation cultivator walked up with a smile on his face.

"Yes." Zhang Hao nodded and continued, "This time when we return to the sect, you help me, Senior Brother Lin, and Senior Sister Zhang to complete the transfer of identities."

Senior Brother, Senior Sister?

The middle-aged monk's pupils shrank when he heard this. The person who could be called senior brother or sister by Zhang Hao was either a long-famous late-stage foundation-building elder in the sect, or he was also a true heir!

But the two people next to him, a boy and a girl... he didn't remember seeing them before in the sect. Could it be that they were disguised in some special way?

Lin Chen and the others had no intention of answering his questions, but directly handed over the identity spirit leaves.

"Sister Meng, Mengyao?!" After seeing the identity of Lingye, the middle-aged monk raised his head in shock.

"There was an accident during the healing process." Feeling the other party's surprised gaze, Zhang Mengyao said with a tight face.

"This..." Sensing the sharp gaze of the other party, the middle-aged monk thought for a while, but wisely did not continue to ask. Then, he looked at the other identity Lingye.

"Senior Brother Lin, Lin Chen?" Seeing this name, the middle-aged monk's face was obviously startled.

He has been on duty in this general affairs hall for more than 20 years and has met all the foundation-building elders of the sect, but why, he seems to have no impression of this name?

‘A new foundation-building monk? No, it's impossible. If he was newly promoted, how could he be called senior by Senior Brother Zhang? But I really don’t seem to have heard of this number one person... Wait! ’

The middle-aged monk finally remembered that he had met almost all the foundation-building monks in the sect, except for one person.

That is the previous generation true disciple, Lin Chen, who has disappeared within the sect for decades, but firmly holds the position of true disciple, and still has a certain power and influence in the sect!

'The other party is the mysterious true disciple...' The middle-aged monk wanted to take a look at Lin Chen quietly, but found that the latter was staring at him expressionlessly.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Hao's voice came from the side.

The middle-aged monk was shocked and quickly replied: "No, it's okay, I will handle it for senior brother!"

Even though the process is very cumbersome, the middle-aged monk is very familiar with the process, and in less than a cup of tea, all the matters for several people have been completed.

After processing, the three of them turned around and left.

Looking at their retreating figures, the middle-aged monk couldn't help but ponder.

Why did the true disciples of the sect rush back at this time? And why did Senior Sister Mengyao become a child again just by going out?

Also, could it be that the existence that Senior Brother Zhang calls Senior Brother Lin is the legendary person who has never appeared in front of everyone and has no outstanding achievements, but can firmly occupy the position of the true disciple of the previous generation...

"……Um?!"

The middle-aged monk who was thinking seemed to have noticed something. He was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion on his face, and then a hint of panic slowly appeared in his pupils.

Because when he recalled the scene just now, he found that no matter how hard he tried to think about it, he had no impression of Senior Brother Lin. It seemed that he had subconsciously ignored his existence!

Not only that, he is already a foundation-building monk, and his memory is far beyond that of ordinary people. Not only can he remember every second of his past experience, but he can remember it for less than half an hour, which is absolutely no problem.

But now, no matter how hard I try, I can't remember what the other person's face looks like!

It seems that the existence of the other party is just a symbol in my impression, and although his face has an indescribable and amazing feeling when I look at it, after he leaves, I can only remember the feeling when I think about it, but I just can't remember his appearance!

"The most mysterious true disciple..." The middle-aged monk murmured as he looked at the entrance of the hall with people coming and going, feeling an inexplicable coldness in his body.

Sure enough, there are only wrong names in this world, not wrong numbers.

Lin Chen didn't know that the other party had so many associations. At this time, they were arriving at the core of Qingyun Sect, which was in front of Qingyun Mountain.

"This is...a third-level formation?"

Lin Chen looked at the scene in front of him and his eyes moved.

Because in front of the three of them, the five-color spiritual energy of white, green, black, red, and yellow turned into a waterfall all over the sky, pouring into Qingyun Mountain continuously!
