Chapter 567: Former Seniors
To this old man with a goatee, Ye Changsheng's face was not unfamiliar at all.
Although they haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, Ye Changsheng once left a very deep impression on him.
Therefore, after taking a closer look today, he immediately recognized this face that he was very familiar with in the past. However, after recognizing it, he just couldn't believe it in his heart.
Unbelievable, horrified, shocked, confused...
All kinds of emotions surged in his heart, and the same was true for the middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard next to him.
The moment he saw this face, he thought of the younger generation whom he once admired very much.
For a moment, he even wondered if the person in front of him was the younger generation whom he remembered so clearly.
But in the blink of an eye, he immediately suppressed the thought in his mind. How could this be possible?
That junior had only been at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm back then. Later on I heard that not long after he advanced to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he disappeared into the wilderness.
With that level of cultivation, he would surely die if he entered the wilderness. Even if he survived by chance, only a few hundred years had passed. Even if this person had outstanding talent, he could at most advance to the realm of refining emptiness and be at the same level as him.
How could one be as powerful as the senior in front of him?
The senior in front of him had undoubtedly entered the fusion stage. However, as for which level of the fusion stage he was in, he had no idea.
No matter how talented a person is, he cannot cultivate so quickly. You have to know that the bottleneck of fusion can hold a person back for tens of thousands of years.
Even those cultivators with extraordinary talents in the human race have to stay in the Void Refinement Stage for at least three great heavenly tribulations, which means it will take about ten thousand years to break through.
In fact, it takes most cultivators about 20,000 years to go from the stage of refining emptiness to the stage of fusion.
It is unheard of that one can advance to the fusion stage in just a few hundred years!
Therefore, even though the elegant middle-aged man with a white face and no beard and the old man with a goatee were extremely shocked at this moment, they would not think that Ye Changsheng was the younger generation who impressed them at the beginning.
But even though they were sure of this, it was as if a huge storm had set off in the hearts of the two of them.
Only the woman who looked like a young woman had no impression of Ye Changsheng's face. After just one look, she bowed and thanked him with great respect.
"You're welcome, guys. By the way, I know you guys before, right, Fellow Daoist Zhao and Fellow Daoist Li?" Ye Changsheng looked at the two men with a faint smile on his face.
"What?!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man with a white face and no beard didn't care about losing his composure. He suddenly exclaimed, raised his head and looked at Ye Changsheng with shock on his face.
The old man with a goatee was not in a much better condition. He pulled his beard so hard that it almost broke off, with disbelief in his eyes.
"My two fellow Taoists, how fortunate you are to meet this senior?" The young woman looked at the two people beside them with surprise, and she looked at them with a new respect!
"More than just knowing each other, we have worked together in the past. At that time, I was a commander of the Qingming Guard under the two Taoist friends. I once followed the two Taoist friends to the Taishou Mountains to carry out a mission!" Ye Changsheng said with a grin.
"This..." Hearing this, the young woman was stunned, her eyes full of disbelief.
The white-bearded man and the old man with a goatee were already pale and terrified. They saluted hurriedly and said:
"I was blind at the time and failed to see your amazing talent. If I have offended you, please forgive me!"
With Ye Changsheng's personal confirmation, the possibility that the two of them could not believe in any way became true.
This person is really the monk who ascended to become a god back then!
How is this possible?
At this moment, the two men's feelings were so complicated that they didn't know how to describe it. The facts before their eyes were the most bizarre things they had ever seen in their lives.
Ye Changsheng looked at the two Tianyuan City guards who were his "predecessors" hundreds of years ago and looked extremely frightened, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
Among the two men, the elegant man with a white face and no beard was none other than Zhao Wugui, a disciple of Master Lei Luo of the Elder Council, a high-ranking figure in Tianyuan City whom he had met right after he ascended to the sky.
The old man with a goatee next to him was named Li, and was a good friend of Zhao Wugui. His cultivation was one level higher than his, and he was in the middle stage of the Refined Void stage.
Back then, under the leadership of these two people, Ye Changsheng and four other members of the Qingming Guard team went to the Taishou Mountains to carry out a mission. During that mission, Ye Changsheng's terrifying combat power left a deep impression on these two people.
"What are you two fellow Taoists doing? You didn't offend me in any way back then. Why are you acting like this now? Do you think that I am a narrow-minded person?" Ye Changsheng asked indifferently.
"Junior dare not!"
"How dare the junior have such thoughts!"
The two of them suddenly became even more panicked, and looked extremely nervous.
"Okay, get up, I still have something to ask you!" Ye Changsheng shook his head and said.
Zhao Wugui and the old man with a goat beard stood up obediently upon hearing this, with extremely respectful expressions on their faces, standing beside Ye Changsheng without any sign of abnormality.
The stunned woman at the side also came to her senses at this moment, and hurriedly tried to conceal the shocked and unbelievable expression on her face, replacing it with a respectful expression.
He stood aside with his head lowered and his eyes kept secretly looking at Ye Changsheng. At the same time, he was extremely curious .
What she just heard was so shocking to her that she couldn't calm down.
It is really hard to imagine that a person who was a Qingming Guard hundreds of years ago has now become a high-ranking fusion cultivator.
She secretly made up her mind that after returning, she would ask Zhao Wugui and the old man surnamed Li in detail about this senior.
"This place is not far from Tianyuan City, right? Let's talk while walking!" Ye Changsheng asked, looking into the distance.
"Senior, this place is still some distance away from Tianyuan City. If you don't mind, I would like to lead the way!" Zhao Wugui said respectfully.
"Okay!" Ye Changsheng nodded lightly after hearing that.
The four of them then flew all the way towards Tianyuan City. Now that they were close to the city, Ye Changsheng was no longer in a hurry. He did not deliberately speed up along the way. Instead, he flew slowly following Zhao Wugui and the other two, and asked them about various matters related to the human race and Tianyuan City.
"I heard from the outsiders that Tianyuan City was once besieged by foreign tribes. What was the final result? Tell me about it!"
"I didn't expect that you also knew about the attack by foreign tribes. The troops of the Shadow Tribe, the Wood Tribe, and the Yaksha Tribe attacked Tianyuan City. They were really aggressive!"
"But with the joint defense of our human race and the demon race, Tianyuan City was managed to be defended. However, both sides suffered heavy losses, and even the combined beings fell." When he said this, Zhao Wugui couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness on his face.
His master died in this turmoil, which was really bad news for him.
"Originally everyone thought that this war would end only when all sides were covered in blood. But in the end, for some unknown reason, the war inexplicably stopped, and the armies of the three tribes withdrew without any warning!"
"Withdrawal? That would be a blessing for the human race!" Ye Changsheng said with a laugh.
Then, his expression became more serious and he asked, "During this battle, have you heard of the names of several women? They are Nangong Wan, Yuan Yao, Ling Yuling, and Bai Yaoyi!"
After Ye Changsheng asked these names, he stared at these people without blinking, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Hearing his question, Zhao Wugui and the others showed a hint of surprise in their eyes: "Nangong Wan, Yuan Yao and the others are quite famous in Tianyuan City, how could we not know them!"
"No wonder they are so close to Fairy Qianyu of the Xu family. It turns out they are related to the senior!" Zhao Wugui said with some surprise.
Recalling the appearance and cultivation of those women, he couldn't help but secretly smack his lips in amazement. Are such beautiful women all related to this senior?
Yes, only a man like him can have so many beautiful women at the same time.
After the four women ascended to heaven, they truly had a glorious period of time in Tianyuan City. Their looks attracted countless human male cultivators.
In fact, if these four people were separated and interacted with each other without any intersection, they would not have attracted so much attention.
But the problem is that these four stunning beauties seem to have a very close relationship, like sisters, and they always travel together.
This has to attract the attention of many people.
A group of beauties will always attract more attention than just one beauty.
Many single male cultivators who had reached the God Transformation stage were immediately attracted to them when they saw them, and it even caused quite a stir back then.
However, these women are indeed outstanding in strength, worthy of being ascended monks. Even though they are only in the early stage of Spirit Transformation, they seem to be able to fight against those in the middle and late stages of Spirit Transformation.
If the four of them joined forces, there would be nothing they could do unless the Void Refining cultivator took action.
Therefore, despite their incomparable beauty, few male cultivators in Tianyuan City can get close to them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wugui was filled with emotion. To be honest, he was also moved when he saw those four women that year.
After all, he had never had a Taoist partner. However, when he heard that the four women all announced that they already had a Taoist partner, he gave up that idea.
Now it seems that the Taoist companions of those four women are all related to Ye Changsheng?
"How are they now?" When Zhao Wugui was thinking about these things, he heard Ye Changsheng ask this.
He quickly calmed down and answered respectfully, "Senior, when the aliens attacked the city, these four people and the woman from the Xu family all participated in the battle in Tianyuan City. Not long after the war ended, they left Tianyuan City!"
"As for where he went, I cannot know that. However, if you do some research after returning to Tianyuan City, I think you should be able to find out!"
“Generally speaking, the Qingming Guards who leave Tianyuan City will briefly explain their whereabouts. This is recorded in the archives of Tianyuan City. There is naturally no problem in checking these archives as a senior!” added the old man with a goatee.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng nodded slightly, sighed, and said nothing more.
Zhao Wugui and the other three didn't dare to say anything when they saw this, so they flew forward quickly.
Later on, with Ye Changsheng using his Sky Peng wings to increase the speed of the three people, the journey that would have normally taken a month to complete was completed in just half a day by the four of them.
Heavenly guards like Zhao Wugui should have had a magical weapon like the Jin Tingzhou that could teleport, but according to them, they suffered a lot of losses in the alien siege, which led to their current fate.
If they still had that magic weapon, they wouldn't have been surrounded by those butterflies.
Standing in front of the tall city wall outside Tianyuan City, Zhao Wugui and his three companions, as well as Ye Changsheng, all had complex expressions of emotion on their faces.
"Senior, let's teleport back to the city immediately." Zhao Wugui asked carefully from the side.
There is no gate on the side of Tianyuan City facing the wild area. Ordinary people who want to enter the wild world can only go in and out through a specific teleportation array.
"Let's go!" Ye Changsheng nodded and ordered.
So, under the leadership of Zhao Wugui and the other two, they came to a teleportation array. After a flash of light, they entered the city amid the humming sound of the array.
After some inspection and confirmation that Ye Changsheng's identity was correct, Ye Changsheng and the others left the tower under the incredulous gaze of the Qingming Guards who were guarding the magic circle.
However, this person could not imagine that a person who was a Qingming Guard like himself hundreds of years ago would now be treated respectfully by several Tianwei seniors.
"Senior, if you want to check the files of Qingming Guard, you need the consent of the Elder Council. Senior, do you think you should notify the people in the Elder Council?" Zhao Wugui said cautiously to Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng nodded indifferently upon hearing this: "It's okay, just inform the Elders Council!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wugui immediately nodded and winked at the old man with a goat beard. The other party then quickly saluted Ye Changsheng and then flew towards the tallest tower in the distance.
Ye Changsheng and Zhao Wugui flew slowly towards another tall tower which contained the files of Qingming Guard.
After a while, when they flew to the tall tower, suddenly a golden light rushed over from a distance.
Then, a Zen chant sounded: "Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Ye has come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you will forgive me!"
As the voice fell, a monk in a light golden cassock appeared in front of Ye Changsheng. This man had a half-foot long white beard, wrinkles on his face, and his eyes were narrowed into slits, as if he was so old that he couldn't even open his eyes.
The aura of this old monk is in the middle stage of fusion, and he should be one of the strongest people in Tianyuan City. The moment he saw him, Ye Changsheng knew his identity.
As early as when he had just ascended to Tianyuan City, he had heard countless legends about the man in front of him.
Zen Master Jin Yue is the only remaining ascended monk in the Tianyuan City Elder Council!
