Chapter 251 The Little Taoist Priest and the Peach Blossom Demon 8

"What?"

Fang Yan's words made Tao Shu confused. Wasn't this all because of Xiyue?

Fang Yan looked a little serious. After scanning the area with his spiritual sense, he leaned slightly closer to Tao Shu's ear and whispered.

"Master once told me that my talent is extremely outstanding in the entire Qingyun Sect, and he... intends to let me inherit the position of Sect Master. But Master only told me this at the time. How did Xia Xingyu know about it?"

"Could it be because of Xiyue? Xia Xingyu looked nervous just now, and it was obvious that he was interested in Xiyue. Your master wanted you to be with Xiyue, and maybe Xiyue also knew that the head of the sect wanted you to succeed him as the next head of the sect, but you clearly refused this."

Tao Shu guessed. She originally thought that the three of them were just having an emotional entanglement, but now it seems that there might be more to it than that.

"Maybe, but I don't want the position of the head sect leader either." Fang Yan murmured.

"What are you going to do?"

Fang Yan pursed his lips and said, "After we exit the secret realm, we will leave here directly. By then, I think he should understand that I will not compete with him."

Tao Shu shook her head. Brother Fang was still as kind-hearted as ever.

If you are unwilling to fight for it, Xia Xingyu may not let you go.

"Brother Fang, have you ever thought that even if you don't fight with him, the position of the head and Xiyue may not be his. If he can't get these, how can he let go of the thorn in his side?"

Fang Yan turned to look at Tao Shu, only then he realized that her eyes were extremely serious.

He smiled, gently brushed away the loose hair at Tao Shu's temples, and spoke softly.

"Shushu, don't worry. I know you care about me. But he and I have some friendship as fellow disciples after all, and I owe him something. If that day really comes, I will protect you even if it costs me my life."

Tao Shu's body trembled slightly and her voice became hoarse.

"Brother Fang, if that's the case, I will be with you. If you live, I live; if you die, I die. But I still hope that Brother Fang can live. No matter how you feel about Xia Xingyu, you can't let up on him. We must improve our strength."

Fang Yan felt a slight stagnation in his heart. For some reason, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed and he was suffocating. He hugged Tao Shu tightly.

No, he would not let her die.

Although Fang Yan's attitude towards Xia Xingyu was mostly evasive, he also realized that the most urgent task was to improve his own strength, so that even if he faced Xia Xingyu, he would have room for maneuver.

After the two made the decision, they began to intentionally look for various opportunities in the secret realm, and at the same time deliberately avoided the disciples of Qingyun Sect through the disciple jade token.

Without the Qingyun Sect's disciples around, Tao Shu didn't need to hide it intentionally, and he seized every opportunity to improve his strength every day.

Fang Yan looked at Tao Shu's diligent look in trying to improve his cultivation, and he had some thoughts in his mind.

One day, the two men had just dealt with a monster and found a cave to rest.

"Shushu, relax your sea of ​​consciousness. I'll teach you something."

Tao Shu blinked and waited silently for Fang Yan to transmit.

After a while, an unnamed martial art emerged in her mind. It had only three moves, but combined with her illusion, it was very suitable for her.

"Brother Fang?"

Tao Shu frowned. She was a demon, how could she practice the magic of Qingyun Sect?

"You are courting death! If people find out that you have secretly disclosed the sect's internal skills, you will be hunted down!"

Tao Shu looked at Fang Yan angrily.

"Shushu, it's okay. This is not the sect's martial arts method. It is a method I modified specially for you. You should try practicing it and see if it is suitable for you?" Fang Yan explained patiently.

Tao Shu looked at him doubtfully. Is it true?

"Really? I'm not lying to you. Just try it." Fang Yan urged, feeling a little amused.

Tao Shu then started to practice the martial arts moves according to the mind, and Jiang Yueshu also started to learn in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The two of them were in tune with each other's minds. After just a short practice, they felt that they were becoming more and more in tune with each other. Tao Shu couldn't help but smile.

"Very good, I think it fits perfectly. Isn't this really the practice of Qingyun Sect?" Tao Shu was still a little worried.

"Of course not. If that were the case, I would probably have been punished by now. With this, you won't be afraid to cast spells in front of others in the future."

Fang Yan shook his head. There were restrictions on the Qingyun Sect's magic. If anyone leaked it, the sect would immediately receive the news and send people to capture them.

After saying this, Fang Yan reinforced the barrier at the cave and left a trace of spiritual consciousness outside to keep watch.

He and Tao Shu divided the spiritual fruits and herbs they had harvested in the past few days and started practicing on their own.

After a full half month, Fang Yan and Tao Shu successfully broke through the realm through their hard practice during this period.

Fang Yan successfully reached the peak of the Golden Core realm by relying on his talent and practicing day and night, while Tao Shu broke through a major realm and entered the early stage of the Golden Core because he had two souls practicing together.

At Jiang Yueshu's suggestion, the two adjusted their aura. Fang Yan was still in the late Jindan stage, while Tao Shu was at the peak of the foundation building stage.

Thinking about the actions Xia Xingyu might take, Tao Shu and the others could no longer hide. After all, she really wanted Fang Yan to see Xia Xingyu's true face.

Now, there are about ten days left before the secret realm closes. I think Xia Xingyu should be eager to find them.

I don’t know if they were lucky or what, but they walked for five or six days and still didn’t meet Xia Xingyu. However, they did collect a lot of good things from the secret realm.

It was not until the fourth day before the end that Tao Shu guessed who was coming when he saw the bunch of flickering lights on the disciple's jade token gradually approaching them.

This disciple jade token did not belong to Fang Yan, but was left by one of the disciples they met on the road whose body was eaten by a monster. After the two men buried his remains, they took the jade token away.

Sure enough, after a burst of hurried footsteps, Yu Guang's voice suddenly came.

"Junior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Fang, I finally found you!"

He came over excitedly with a cheerful look on his face.

The two of them just nodded slightly, then walked around him and looked at Xia Xingyu and Xiyue in the center of the crowd.

There were about thirty people coming, almost the same number as the total forty-five disciples who entered the secret realm.

It seems that these should be all the disciples of Qingyun Sect who survived this secret realm.

So in order to find them, Xia Xingyu even gathered together all the remaining Qingyun Sect disciples in the secret realm.

A gust of wind blew, and the woman's figure came running quickly.

Xiyue looked around at Fang Yan nervously, her tone concerned.

"Brother, are you okay? Is everything alright?"

As she spoke, she was about to take action to check.

Fang Yan quickly avoided her touch and moved closer to Tao Shu.

At this moment, Xiyue's attention was indeed diverted, and she looked at Tao Shu with an unclear expression.

"Oh? Who is this...?"
