When Lu Yang returned to Tianmen Peak, he still hadn't seen his senior sister. Only the puppet was guarding the house.

 

"Is the meeting taking so long? Does it involve the distribution of spirit stones?"

 

In Lu Yang's impression, only this kind of situation would have a long meeting. The elders always had all sorts of strange ideas, but due to the lack of spirit stones, they were unable to implement them. When they encountered an opportunity to obtain spirit stones, they would definitely argue for it.

 

Just as Lu Yang was thinking about this, eight rays of light flew out of the council hall, and the eight elders left the hall. Senior sister leisurely walked out of the hall, it seemed that the meeting had ended.

 

"Back already?"

 

"Just got back."

 

Yun Zhi scanned Lu Yang with her divine sense and confirmed that Huang Doudou was still sleeping in the spiritual world. "There are still many doubts about the Immortal Fairy. Even she may not know the answers to these questions. I'm going out to visit some friends and see if I can gain something. You stay in Tianmen Peak and practice well, striving to enter the mid-Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible."

 

"Yes."

 

Yun Zhi didn't say anything more and flew into the sky, her figure becoming blurred as she disappeared in an unknown direction.

 

After Yun Zhi left, Lu Yang looked at the puppet that had accompanied him in his cultivation, eager to fight it. However, he was quickly beaten and felt even more frustrated that he couldn't even beat the puppet. He then sat down to cultivate diligently.

 

Senior sister was busy with her own affairs, so he couldn't be lazy.

 

"Disciple, is it the disciple who has returned?"

 

A voice like a ghostly apparition reached Lu Yang's ears, and he instinctively covered them, but he could still hear the voice.

 

This voice had an incredible power.

 

"Who!" Lu Yang looked around warily. He didn't remember having any master, only his senior sister had taught him.

 

Wait a minute, it seems like I have a master.

 

"Lu Yang has returned. I am your master, the Bu Yu Taoist."

 

The contemporary master of the Seek Tao Sect, who had disappeared for ten years.

 

The master had disappeared for ten years, but the Seek Tao Sect still functioned normally, and even recruited a new generation of disciples. It was as if having a master or not made no difference.

 

"Master?!"

 

Lu Yang was very surprised. He had been under the tutelage of the Bu Yu Taoist for a year and had never seen his master. Senior sister always said that the master was in seclusion and didn't have time to see him. Had the master finally ended his seclusion?

 

"It's me. Although you have not seen me, I have been paying attention to you. You were able to draw in qi and successfully establish your foundation. I am very pleased." The voice was full of vicissitudes and sounded like a kind old grandfather.

 

"Master, where are you? Are you in seclusion and unable to come out to see your disciple?" Lu Yang felt that something was wrong. If the master could see him and talk to him, then why had there been no movement for a year?

 

The voice sighed for a long time, seemingly unable to express its bitterness. "Ah, this matter is a long story. I have been in Tianmen Peak all along, but I am temporarily unable to leave. There are some things that cannot be explained in a few words. Just follow the route I tell you, and you will be able to see me."

 

Although Lu Yang had doubts, he didn't feel any danger. This was Tianmen Peak, and the other party was his master. And most importantly, senior sister had never warned him about this.

 

If there was any danger, senior sister would have warned him long ago."You first need to find the pine forest halfway up the mountain. In the pine forest, there is a 300-meter ancient pine tree, which is the largest tree in the entire forest."

 

Lu Yang easily found the ancient pine tree that the Bu Yu Taoist had mentioned. He remembered that the puppet had also picked pine nuts here and made them into delicious pine nut corn.

 

"Lightly knock on the ancient pine tree three times, pause for three seconds, and then knock on it heavily three times."

 

Lu Yang did as he was told, and he saw a spatial distortion on the east side of the ancient pine tree, as if a camouflage cloth had been removed, revealing the truth.

 

A large area of pine trees disappeared on the east side of the ancient pine tree, replaced by a dark cave. There was a golden talisman attached to the entrance, which was hard to ignore. The voice of the Bu Yu Taoist came from this cave.

 

Lu Yang tentatively called out, "Master?"

 

"Ah, my good disciple. We finally meet." An elegant old man walked out of the cave, holding a dust brush on his arm, like a celestial being. He was excited to see Lu Yang. Was this his youngest disciple?

 

The Bu Yu Taoist stopped at the entrance of the cave and did not take another step forward.

 

"What's wrong, Master? Are you trapped here? I'll ask my senior sister to rescue you when she comes back!" Lu Yang said eagerly.

 

"No, no, no." The Bu Yu Taoist quickly stopped Lu Yang. If Yun Zhi had not left Tianmen Peak, he would not have dared to call Lu Yang over.

 

"Don't tell your senior sister that you saw me."

 

"Why not?"

 

The Bu Yu Taoist looked up at the top of the cave, his eyes complicated. "People live their whole lives for the sake of fame and fortune. As the head of one of the five immortal sects, with great power and influence, many people naturally want to sit in my position."

 

"I can understand that. When I was fighting for this position, I also went through a bloody battle before standing out among my fellow disciples."

 

"I thought that becoming the head was the end of everything, but I never thought that I would be betrayed by the person closest to me." At this point, the Bu Yu Taoist showed a pained expression, as if he could not bear to recall the past, but had to do so.

 

"Your senior sister is talented, and when I step down, the position of the head will definitely be hers. But she did not wait until the day I stepped down. Instead, she broke our agreement and imprisoned me here, becoming the acting head and managing everything in the sect."

 

"How has the sect developed in the past ten years? Has your senior sister followed my plan?"

 

Lu Yang was surprised. He had heard from his senior brothers and sisters that the sect had developed vigorously in the past ten years, and his senior sister had contributed the most. Were all of these within his master's plan?

 

Lu Yang relayed this truthfully, and the Bu Yu Taoist responded with a slightly pleased tone, "Little Yun has done well. Even without me, she can manage the sect well. It's just a pity…"

 

"What's a pity?"

 

"It's a pity that it wasn't me who managed it personally. If it were me, I would have had a better way of managing it."

 

"Can you come out then?"

 

The Bu Yu Taoist smiled bitterly and tried to walk out of the cave. As soon as his front foot stepped out, millions of purple thunderbolts burst out of the entrance, bathing the Bu Yu Taoist in them. He was scared and quickly retreated, using his dust brush to extinguish the flames on his body.

 

"You see, I can't come out.""How can I save you?"

 

"There's a golden talisman at the entrance of the cave, written by Xiao Yun. As long as you remove it, I can come out."

 

Lu Yang looked at the Bu Yu Taoist with suspicion: "Is it that simple?"

 

"It's that simple. Xiao Yun said that if someone removes the talisman, it means that I'm not destined to be imprisoned here, and I should be released according to fate."

 

Lu Yang approached and saw that there were no strange patterns on the golden talisman, only seven big characters left by the senior sister:

 

I dare anyone to remove it.
