After travelling for nine days and nine nights, Fang Yu finally arrived at the outskirts of the mountain where their sect was located. She eyed the tallest mountain that was covered by fog. Sighing, Fang Yu started flying towards the group of mountains.

Two Hundred years.

Fang Yu could only lament in sadness as she flew towards the Eight Palms Sect's Training grounds. From there, Fang Yu was planning to talk to the Sect Head and tell him that she was stuck in a formation. She was not planning to divulge any other information about the scheme as she was sure some people inside the sect had helped that man in his scheme.

Fang Yu's travels were supposed to be a secret. However, at that time, the man from the other sect clearly knew her itinerary. It could only mean that someone had told him that information. After bypassing a lot of formations, Fang Yu landed in the training area of the Sect. To visit the Sect Leader, Fang Yu needed to walk towards the highest part of the sect that was located in the Palms Mountains, the tallest mountain of Hong Country.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/elder_49089167212203324 for visiting.

After two hundred years, the place had undergone a lot of changes. Not only had the formations become stronger, they even had a lot of new teachers inside the Sect. And since Fang Yu had been away for a long time, many of these teachers and disciples immediately turned wary at the sight of a woman casually walking towards the Sect Master's abode.

"Halt!"

Fang Yu stopped walking and looked at the group of men and women walking her way. Judging from their Sky blue robe, all of them should be considered inner disciples of the Sect. Their Cultivation level should be below hers, meaning they had no way of telling her cultivation level. To someone like them, Fang Yu could choose to make herself look like a human, completely hiding her cultivation level from their prying eyes.

"Your honorable miss." A man with blue hair who looked just a few years older than her spoke. "This is not a place where you can stroll around and look at the view. This is our honorable Eight Palms Sect. May I know if you have any business inside the sect?"

Fang Yu was wearing an extremely simple white robe. Without the embroideries of the Eight Palms Sect, Fang Yu just looked like a normal rogue immortal. However, it seems that the disciples were not stupid at all. They knew that not many people would be able to just walk inside the mountain without alerting anyone. It could mean that this lady was extremely powerful.

If not for some disciples seeing her walk towards the Sect Master's Immortal Cave, they wouldn't have noticed that this woman was here.

Fang Yu stared at the younger generation in front of her. "I have some business with the Sect Master." She answered as she started walking again.

"Halt!" Another man shouted.

"I'm afraid we cannot let you pass. Please register your name and wait for the Sect Master to come out and talk to you." The Sect had rules. Not just anyone would be able to enter the Sec Master's cave. Even if they wanted to, the formation guarding the cave was strong enough to shred someone like them. How could a small and weak woman enter?

Fang Yu immediately raised an eyebrow. Her small frame was indeed enough to make people underestimate her. Under the surprised gazes of everyone present, Fang Yu just vanished from their sight.

"What— What just happened?" the man with blue hair asked.

"She's an elder!" A woman exclaimed. The only one allowed to fly or use their Qi in this area should be an elder! The group immediately fell into silence. How could someone who looked so young become an elder?

One should know that even if they have a longer life span compared to normal humans, they were still susceptible to aging. Though it was extremely slow, their body would still show the signs of aging as soon as they stopped their cultivation. But that girl… looked younger than them! What could that mean?

"I heard there was an elder who was the number one beauty of Hong Country who vanished before…" someone from the back said. After hearing the meek woman's words, everyone immediately started inquiring about the most beautiful elder who had vanished two hundred years ago.

When the disciple realized this woman might be their long lost elder, they immediately ran towards their respective teachers, informing them of the matter. If that elder showed up, wouldn't this mean they would have a chance in the upcoming competition?

Soon, news of a beautiful woman who was capable of flying started to spread inside the Sect.

"You want them to know that you are back?" The Older man in front of Fang Yu asked, a slight smile apparent in his face.

"Master." This man was none other than Fang Yu's master and the Sect Master, Jiang Bo. Fang Yu elegantly drank her tea. "Please don't tell anyone about that matter. I just want to keep it a secret for now." Before Fang Yu could even lie to the old man, Jiang Bo had already asked her how the hell had she vanished just like that? As Fang Yu's master, Jiang Bo did his best to find her. However, all he found were traces of her blood and life essence, all of which showed that she was gravely injured. He knew that his dear disciple was still alive. However, he didn't have any idea where she could hide her body. With the type of injury that she had received, Jiang Bo knew that Fang Yu had fallen into a coma.

"The people who schemed against you back then…" the man with the white eyebrows sighed. "I knew that they were inside our sect. However…" He shook his head. "By the time I found out who they were, they had already left and joined another sect."

Fang Yu narrowed her eyes. "This person… are they still alive?" The Sect Master Jiang Bo nodded. Seeing this, a cold smile blossomed on her face. "Then it's good."

The conversation that they had was interrupted when they heard one of the disciples guarding the Sect Master's cave tell them that the elder that the Sect Master was waiting for was already here.

"Oh. Good timing. Let me introduce you the newest Elder in the sect." The older man smiled and gave her a knowing look. "I am sure you will like this very brilliant person. Xu'er! Let that person in." Almost immediately soft and steady footsteps reached Fang Yu's ears.

"Sect Master… I am here." A warm voice drifted towards her. Slowly, Fang Yu raised her head to look at the man wearing black a few inches away from her. Surprise quickly flashed in her eyes as she saw the familiar white hair, and robe in front of her. Wasn't this the man that she had saved in the cave?

"Good! Good!" the old man laughed and walked towards the person who was even taller than him. "Why are you so late this time? Did you encounter any trouble?"

"Yes. I encountered some bandits this time. However…" The man looked at Fang Yu. "Someone saved me."

"Good. At least you are here now. So… tell me… were you able to find the person that you were looking for?"

"Yes. The Genius Dong Hu is now my disciple." The man answered, his gaze never leaving hers. On the outside, Fang Yu was coldly looking at the man, not an iota of expression could be seen on her face. However, on the inside she was already smiling like a frog. So this man was the Villain's Master? What a coincidence.

"Oh! I forgot… I forgot! Remember my dear disciple that I told you about? Hehehe… She is finally back. I told you she would be back." The Sect Master said excitedly. "This is Elder Fang Yu. She is my number one disciple in potions. Fang Yu, this is Elder Mo Li. He is an expert in talismans and magic weapons."

Mo Li. Fang Yu tried to recall if she had heard of that name before. It seems familiar— almost too familiar.
