Seeing Shen Jingyang leap down the precipitous cliff to the west of the monolith forest, the disciples were all astonished. They couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, quickly save Senior Brother Shen!"

With her eyes closed, Jade Ion slowly said, "Let him go alone. With his personality, he is no longer suitable to stay here. Today, I have finally freed him from his predicament of leaving Ottawa."

All of the disciples said, puzzled, "Master, the Shooting Sun is your most beloved disciple after all. Are you just going to bear with it and chase him away?"

Yu Du seemed to be deep in thought, and said determinedly, "For thousands of years, have there not been many things that have gone wrong in this entire Qing Qiu mountain range? He has violated the sect rules, and I, Yu Zhong, will definitely not let him off lightly!"

There was no trace of Shen Yushi at the bottom of the cliff. Was he dead? Is he alive? Was it sadness? Was it pain?

From this moment onwards, he no longer belonged to the Tai Hua Altar or even the Tai Xuan Capital, but his fate was still inextricably linked with the Qing Qiu Mountain. Perhaps many years later, together with the fifth Hidden Spirit, he would become the savior of the Qing Qiu Mountains, but at this moment, he was merely an abandoned disciple who had been expelled from his sect.

With a "hua la" sound, the hidden spirit and the youth with tying hair emerged from the water. The two of them sneaked back into the Heart Washing Stream without anyone noticing.

"Did anyone find out?" the Spirit asked uneasily.

The teenager with the tied up hair lightly patted the hidden spirit's chest. He whispered, "That won't happen. This is a secret passageway. I was the only one who knew about it before. Now, only the two of us know."

"Really? How did you find such a hidden passageway?"

The teenager with tied hair crossed his hands behind his back, he wanted to say something but hesitated. "About this, keep it a secret. I won't tell you for now."

At this moment, the hidden spirit suddenly felt that he had a bunch of questions that he hadn't figured out. Just who was this hair-tied youth? Where did he come from? How did he know that he had trained in the Pearl of Blood? How did he know this secret passage? Where was the magical place he had just been?

Before the spirit could speak, the teenager with tying his hair said faintly, "Have you noticed that the cold energy in your body has disappeared?"

As he said this, the hidden spirit really wanted to wake up. After the Monster Slaughtering Meeting, the cold energy in his body had stopped working.

"How did you know?" The Spirit asked suspiciously.

The silver-haired youth said anxiously, "Why do you have so many questions?"

"Of course, I don't even know your surname and last name right now."

The teenager with the long hair paced back and forth, saying, "My name is Gu Luo, I came to the Qing Qiu Mountains to play."

The Hidden Spirit was skeptical. "Why did I see you dressed like a Taohua disciple on the day of the Beastslayer Martial Arts Competition?"

Gu Luo gave a hidden spirit punch and said, "If I don't pretend to be like that, can I sneak in to see such a spectacular Martial Arts Competition?"

Gu Luo seized the opportunity to say, "Aiya, don't be so curious. I won't harm you anyways. I'll leave after I've seen all the beautiful scenery of this Qing Qiu Mountain range."

"There's one city, four cities, and twelve pots in the Qing Qiu mountain. The scenery here is as good as the clouds. I'm afraid you won't be able to see all of it in your lifetime."

Gu Luo asked again, "You still haven't told me your name?"

"As for me, I was called Luo Ying before I was six years old. Master changed my name after I was brought to Taixuan, and I'm called the fifth Hidden Spirit."

Gu Luo curiously asked, "I heard you're Elder Yin's prized disciple?"

The Hidden Spirit hurriedly shook its head and said, "No, no. I only entered the inner sect because of the Master's love. Senior Brother Ning is Master's first disciple, and his cultivation and character are both top priority."

Gu Luo said, "Are you talking about that Ning An stage guy? He's too dull and boring, and his talent is not as good as yours."

He concealed his emotions and said, "How could that be? Eldest Brother is a genius, but his cultivation is close to the highest level of the upper reaches. I forbid you from saying such things about Eldest Brother."

"You're so protective of him. To tell you the truth, your innate talent doesn't lose out to anyone. It's just that the cold qi in your body is hindering your cultivation."

The Hidden Spirit nodded and said: "In the past, I had never been able to understand the second level of the Genuine Force. Every time I wanted to cultivate to the Divine Training realm and break through to the second level, my body would not listen to my commands."

Gu Luo said, "Now it's better. Ever since the Beast Slaughter Assembly, you've cut open the dragon whiskers of a water qilin, accidentally drank its blood, and immersed your entire body in the Ice Water from the depths. The beast blood and the cold water have washed away all the cold Qi in your body."

The hidden spirit was suspicious, but felt that what he said was reasonable, so he asked, "How did you know?"

With a sudden flash of inspiration, Gu Luo answered, "I once happened to read the 'Ancient Psyche Encyclopedia'. It says' Ancient Psyche Encyclopedia '." He then added, "Right now, there is no longer any extremely cold Qi in your body. Why don't you try practicing for a few days and see how your cultivation progress is?"

The hidden spirit felt that this made sense, and said, "This Heart Washing Stream is very quiet, just nice for cultivation."

Gu Luo said, "Then cultivate properly, I'll come back another day."

Just as he finished speaking, Gu Luo suddenly flashed and disappeared without waiting for the Spirit of Concealment to react.

After calming his mind, he sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his energy, adjusting his state of mind. He recited the mantra of the cultivation, "If only there were a group of mysterious plants, such as the recluse of the five inventions, the dissolving of the colors, the bland the bland, the void and the same. To ignore all of them is true …" Suddenly, he felt that his heart well, wind mansion, Qi Sea, heart Shu, Shen Que, and other acupoints had all become smooth, without the slightest feeling of stagnation from before.

The hidden spirit once again circulated the Essence in his body, holding his breath and sinking his Qi into his Dantian. The Inner Qi in his body had already condensed to the two meridians of Ren Du, and so he leaped up, producing a sharp sword.

At this moment, the hidden spirit was secretly delighted. Originally, the "Illusory Sword of the Chong Residence" was the highest level of the Genuine Force. He had painstakingly trained for a few years and had always failed to grasp it, but today, he easily grasped it.

It was already deep into the night, and the surroundings were completely silent. There were very few lights and shadows on the altars, and most of the disciples were sound asleep in their dreams.

Deep in the courtyard, the lights in Jade Ion Room were still on. A voice came from the house, "Shooting Sun, the matter has already come to this. It's useless for you to kneel here. Your temperament and circumstances don't belong here. Leave!"

Although Jade Ion's voice was low, it carried a sense of majesty and inviolability.

It was unknown when he was kneeling in the courtyard, but judging from the leaves falling off his body, it must have been quite some time. His face and body were covered in bloodstains. His arms and cheeks were covered in deep and shallow wounds of varying length. It turned out that on the day he was kicked out of the sect by Jade Ion, Shen Jingyang had jumped off the cliff. He had wanted to end his life and avoid being entangled by thorns and thorns, but the thorns had cut off his body and left him covered in bloodstains.

"Your personality is stubborn, free, and undisciplined. I, Jade, have seen countless people, and from the moment you came up the mountain, I knew that you would have to leave sooner or later."

Inside the courtyard, Shen Jingyang finally opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Master, I can change all of these things."

Yu Ren lightly scolded, "Have you changed your mind after so many years? It is difficult to change one's nature. The sect rules of Tai Hua Altar cannot tolerate you, and the strict methods of worshippers like me cannot tolerate you."

Shen Tianyang was on the verge of tears as he spoke, "Master, could it be that you really believe that I intentionally destroyed the Monolith Forest, and are unwilling to listen to Sparks' justification?"

Yu Tie said, "Is there any use in talking about this now? You have destroyed the Ottawa Monolith Forest, and I have done my best to help you by expelling you from my sect."

Shen Jingyang said, "Master, I'm willing to accept the punishment. As long as I can remain in Taihua Altar, I can accept any kind of punishment."

Yu Shen said, "Hmph, Taihua Altar belongs to Supreme Xuan Capital. This time, Elder Yin will definitely go after you. How can you, an ordinary disciple, bear the consequences!"

This time, after expelling you from the sect, I will make an exception and do not expend any of your cultivation. But I hope that you will take care of yourself, do more good deeds, and act viciously. Even if you manage to escape to the back of the Great Wastelands, the Tai Hua Altar will not let you off lightly! "

At this moment, it was raining heavily. Although it was a summer night, the drops of rain were as cold as ever, so cold that they seeped into his bones.

The raindrops fell on Shen Jingyang's body, soaking his clothes and chilling his heart. In this world, there were countless times of rain every year, but every rain had different meanings for everyone. Just like the rain at this moment, for Shen Huiyang, it was a forlorn and desolate scene, a lonely and helpless scene.

Where was his next stop? Where would he go from here? No one knew.

Inside the Heart-Washing Stream, the spirit was concentrating on cultivating. These past few days, he seemed to have found the starting point for cultivation, and very quickly, he broke through to a realm that he could not surpass many years ago.

The fragrance of the dishes assaulted his nostrils and he tried his best to focus his mind. He looked around and saw no one around him. While he was wondering, Gu Luo suddenly appeared from outside the ravine with a tray of dishes and a jug of wine in his hand.

Hidden in the shadows, she said, "Wow, your movement technique is so agile. Such a steep Heart Cleansing Stream. You entered so easily."

Gu Luo smiled coyly. "I'll only come up after three days, see how you enjoy this good wine and food." As he said this, he pulled out a box of dishes from the stone bench and took out four dishes: Seven Li Roasted Chicken, Tea Fragrance Shrimp, Purple Sun Asparagus Soup, and Orchid and Bean Dried.

"Ah, such a sumptuous dish." With that, Yin Ling directly tore off a piece of roasted chicken with her hand and ate it. "Hmm, it's really delicious. This bone penetrating fragrance should only be able to be cooked by the Seven Li Roasted Chicken Restaurant in Jade Wall City."

Gu Luo said, "Have you washed your hands yet? I can't wait."

"Such an alluring delicacy, who would even bother to wash their hands? "The tea fragrant prawn is a famous dish, the prawns are all caught from Zhuo Shui Lake."

Gu Luo said, "Then what about this soup?"

The hermit spirit moved forward to take a sniff and said, "This Purple Sun Winter Bamboo Soup is not ordinary. Purple Sun Flowers grow in Xuanyuan Yan and are extremely difficult to pluck. The winter bamboo shoots are kept in Jade Wall City's ice cave to preserve their freshness."

Gu Luo waved the wine jug in front of her nose and said, "Do you know what bar this is?"

The Hidden Spirit opened its eyes wide and said, "Could it be … Is it Jade Wall Spring Beauty? "

Gu Luo said, "At least you have good eyes."

The Hidden Spirit ate a few mouthfuls of each dish. While drinking the 'Jade Wall Spring Beauty', it praised, "You have come to the right place since there are so many delicacies for you to enjoy."

Gu Luo said, "What if I said I made this dish?"

The hidden spirit only cared about tasting delicacies and said, "How is that possible? These dishes are all famous dishes from various cities and altars. How can you learn all of them?"

"Come, brother, let me toast you. I can't thank you enough for such delicious dishes. When we leave the stream, I'll invite you back."

Gu Luo said, "How's your practice going these past few days?"

The Hidden Spirit was somewhat excited and said, "The effect is very good. It seems like it suddenly comprehended and knows how to break through the shackles of the meridians in the body. Perhaps this is the 'enlightenment' that Master often said."

With a face full of joy, Gu Luo smiled. "Like I said, your talent isn't inferior to anyone else's. Now you've fulfilled it, right?"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Luo said, "However, during the Martial Competition that day, based on your inner strength, Qi, and blood, you seemed to have an indescribable power in your body. However, with your current cultivation level, you're still unable to control this power …"

The Spirit of Hidden Spirit was confused by what she heard, and said with a blank face, "Is there? "However, I also feel that there is an indescribable power in my body that is fluctuating from time to time. It seems to be darting around in my body, but I am unable to control it no matter how hard I try."

Gu Luo said, "These few days, practice your inner strength more. The key to training is inner force. As long as your inner strength is deep enough, you can naturally force out this inexplicable power."

The aroma of wine and food, combined with their joyful conversation, had given a spark of life to the desolate and tightly shut Heart Cleansing Stream of thousands of years.

For the past few days, the hidden spirits had diligently practiced their inner strength. They were able to freely control the cultivation realm and gained a deeper comprehension of their own.

In the past, his Master had always warned him that his physique was weak, and that the cold energy in his body was unsatisfied. If he desperately trained his inner force, it would devour his body. But now, why was it that after he had increased his internal energy, his body was now brimming with energy and blood? Could it be that it was really as Gu Luo had said, that inexplicable power in his body?

At this time, the hidden spirit took out the piece of unpolished jade he carried with him. He had been using this jade to resist the gelid qi in his body ever since birth. Could it be that there was something special about this unpolished jade? Looking at this piece of unpolished jade, the original square had already become curved. Could it be that this unpolished jade really had some sort of intelligence?

This jade was given to Dugu Jiu by the gray-clothed old man. It was square and dark green in color, and now it was curved and bulging. It was dark green and light blue. The hidden spirit did not know that this Twilight Jade sealed the female's true essence. Its power was incomparable, and his body had already absorbed a lot of true essence. It was precisely this true essence that defended him from the coldest energy in his body all year round, maintaining his healthy body.

While he was lost in thought, Gu Luo had already appeared behind the Spirit, patting his shoulder. The Spirit was startled.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Luo asked curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just an unpolished jade." The hidden spirit looked at the unpolished jade in his hand.

Gu Luo looked at the unpolished jade and said, "This piece of jade has such a strange shape. Where did you get it from?"

The spirit said mournfully, "This was given to me by my parents before they died. They have been worn on my body since I was young."

Gu Luo saw that the hidden spirit had reminisced about the sad past, so she changed the topic. "Don't think too much about it, keep this piece of jade and pay more attention to your family when you miss them."

The spirit answered with a "En" and tightly put the unpolished jade back into its pocket.

Inside the hall, Ning Xuemo hurried her steps. She stood outside the hall and said, "Oh no! Master, something has happened to the Tainhua Altar."

Yin Bao Scroll was startled, she seemed to have already expected this unfortunate event.
