Chapter 206: The memories of the past flooded into his mind

Yuan Ming followed Xiao Ying, Xiao Yao, and others to the front of the Qing Luo Square on the front mountain. The disciples of the Bi Luo Cave were all escorted here.

After scanning the crowd, his brow suddenly furrowed.

The disciples of the various halls of the Bi Luo Cave were numerous, but the people of the Fire Refining Hall were very few.

During the previous melee, he used the Soul Crow to explore everywhere, but did not see the figure of the Fire Refining Hall disciples, and the three hall masters did not appear from beginning to end.

"Could it be..." a thought arose in Yuan Ming’s mind.

"Who are you looking for?" Xiying’s voice came.

"It seems that the people of the Fire Refining Hall are not here," Yuan Ming said after a moment of contemplation, but he was relieved in his heart.

He still had some feelings for the senior brothers of the Fire Refining Hall. In this chaos of the sect, the elders and disciples of the sect were probably seriously injured or killed. They were all under the command of the three hall masters, and the three hall masters were not present at the critical moment. They must have been saved by the three hall masters.

After controlling the situation, the members of the Dawn Alliance began to systematically break the restrictions on some important places in the Bi Luo Cave, such as the storage room of the Refining Hall, the warehouse of the Fire Refining Hall, etc. Large quantities of ore, spirit grass, elixirs, and even spirit beasts were transported out and placed in the Qing Luo Square.

The items confiscated from the disciples of the Bi Luo Cave were also placed here, and from a distance, half of the square was filled with dazzling spiritual light, attracting everyone’s attention.

The savings of the Bi Luo Cave from the Three-Star Mountain to here for so many years should all be here.

The members of the Dawn Alliance gradually gathered here, their eyes shining as they looked at the items on the ground, but no one dared to move without authorization.

Yuan Ming listened to the nearby people discussing and knew that this was the usual practice of the Dawn Alliance. Every time they completed a mission, they would display all their gains in public, and then distribute them according to the size of their contributions to show fairness.

Yuan Ming thought that the biggest gain of the Dawn Alliance in destroying the Bi Luo Cave this time was not these things, but the storage magic tools of the Great Elder, the Grand Cave Master, and the Second Hall Master.

How could the real good things be evenly distributed?

"Yuan Ming, why are you here?" a somewhat surprised voice came from the front.

Yuan Ming looked up and his gaze also moved.

The person who came was Wu Lu, who at this moment had revealed his Foundation Establishment cultivation base, and although he was slightly injured, it was not serious.

Standing next to Wu Lu was Xiao Yao, and the two of them seemed to be familiar with each other.

"Brother Wu Lu, it’s a pleasure to meet you. We have gone through thick and thin together in the Bi Luo Cave for more than three years," Yuan Ming said.

"Yuan Brother, it’s a pleasure to meet you. It seems that we are truly good brothers," Wu Lu said with a look of sudden realization.

Yuan Ming smiled and glanced at Xiao Yao beside him, saying loudly, "It’s not just good brothers, the two of us took care of each other as beast slaves in the Bi Luo Cave. We are life and death brothers."

The two of them laughed heartily together.

Xiao Yao, who had been somewhat suspicious of Yuan Ming as a spy, now found that Yuan Ming and the extraordinary Wu Lu, who had made great contributions this time, were so familiar with each other and had gone through hardships together, dispelling her doubts.

Before long, a streak of light flew from a distance and stopped in mid-air above the square, revealing the figure of Ougi, who announced the distribution of the items on the square to everyone.

The members of the Dawn Alliance heard this and let out a resounding cheer.

Bai Ye and Huan Shi were also among the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, unscathed.

Yuan Ming and the two of them exchanged glances from a distance, nodded, and when they saw that Yuan Ming had already put on the attire of the Dawn Alliance, they both understood and smiled at each other.

After arranging the distribution, Ougi turned and left.

"Are they distributing the items? Let’s go, we’ll go over too!" Xiying chuckled lightly and waved her sleeve.

Yellow array patterns appeared on the ground under her, Yuan Ming, and Xiao Yao’s feet, quickly forming a yellow formation.

Before Yuan Ming’s eyes were engulfed by the yellow light, when he came to his senses, they had appeared near the entrance of the Bi Luo Cave.

Ougi, the hunched old man, and four other Core Formation cultivators were all present, and when they saw Xiying and Yuan Ming appear, they smiled.

"Xiying, you’ve finally arrived. We’ve been waiting for you," Ougi said.

"What are you waiting for? You all go ahead and distribute, don’t mind me. But this Yuan Ming, he has made great contributions this time and must be rewarded generously," Xiying said with her hands behind her back.

Upon hearing this, Ougi and the others looked a bit embarrassed, insisting that decisions must be made together.

"Ougi, I won’t be polite then. I played the biggest role in killing Chen Cangqiong just now, so I should pick first from the items on his body," Xiying said.

Upon hearing this, Ougi and the other three exchanged glances, the hunched old man snorted, and the man in the red robe and the young woman in the green dress looked at Xiying with some dissatisfaction.

"Friends, how about this, let’s follow our previous agreement and divide the items in Chen Cangqiong’s storage magic tool into five parts, and Xiying will get one of them. Since she wants to pick first, let her go ahead," Ougi coughed awkwardly and said.

"Ougi, we were invited by the Dawn Alliance, and we almost died in the battle with Chen Cangqiong just now. Why should she pick first?" the hunched old man said bluntly, and the three of them did not understand why Ougi was so accommodating to a Foundation Establishment female cultivator, even though she had just saved them.

"Friends, you don’t know. This woman is the direct granddaughter of the patriarch of the Red Lotus Island in the southern region of the Southern Domain. She also has the innate body of the fusion of the five elements, and is one of the most talented formation masters on this continent," Ougi explained to the three of them through voice transmission.The three of them looked surprised.

The Xiao family on the Red Lotus Island in the southern region of South Jiang, and even the entire South Jiang, is very famous. The Xiao family is proficient in the art of array formations and prohibitions, especially skilled in refining array flags and plates. Many sects in South Jiang have come to visit, just to obtain a good protective array for their sect.

The Xiao ancestor mentioned by Ougi is the current head of the Xiao family, and is also a master of array formations. It is said that his cultivation has broken through to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, which is rare among array masters.

In terms of strength and connections, they were far from being comparable to the three of them.

"Moreover, the credit for breaking the array and killing Chen Cangqiong is obvious. The three of you were indirectly saved by Xiao Ying, so everyone should be grateful," Ougi said again.

"Alright, Xiao Ying, you go first," the hunched old man and the other two exchanged glances and felt that it made sense.

"Xiao Ying, what do you think?" Ougi turned to Xiying and asked, ignoring the request to reward Yuan Ming.

"What about Yuan Ming? He followed my arrangements from the beginning and risked his life three years ago to sneak into the Biluo Cave to help me steal Chen Cangqiong’s magic weapon. He should also be greatly rewarded," Xiying said again.

"I followed Senior Xiao’s arrangements three years ago and entered the Biluo Cave, and also cooperated with Wu Lu to cover and protect each other," Yuan Ming said.

"I can vouch for that. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Wu Lu," Xiao Yao said.

"Indeed, Wu Lu has reported to me many times that a disciple named Yuan Ming is very suspicious. It turns out to be your doing, Xiao Ying. It coincides with my plans, so he should be rewarded. The Biluo Cave has always been generous to heroes," Ougi said.

"Is this person trying to take credit afterwards?" the man in the red robe said.

The man in the red robe glared at Yuan Ming, and a sense of pressure enveloped him. The gap in their cultivation levels was too great, but even with just a little external pressure, Yuan Ming felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly, with his bones making a faint cracking sound.

At that moment, Yuan Ming almost felt as if his entire being was about to be crushed, and his spiritual consciousness was also constantly shaking.

The pressure on his body was one thing, but his spiritual consciousness was like a flame in a strong wind, and could be extinguished at any moment. His body also lost its ability to move, and he couldn’t even retreat to avoid the overwhelming pressure.

Yuan Ming exerted all his strength to operate the Nine Elements Formula and the Death Moon method, desperately resisting the pressure from the man in the red robe, but it was of little use.

The enormous pressure counterattacked, igniting his fighting spirit. Yuan Ming’s eyes widened, and he pushed the Death Moon method to the extreme, and the soul power in his spiritual consciousness surged like a tide.

Almost at the same time, Yuan Ming’s arm felt a surge of heat, and a huge stream of heat flowed from the incense burner mark, merging into his spiritual consciousness.

His mind suddenly heard the sound of cracking, and his spiritual consciousness, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly strengthened at a visible speed, firmly resisting the pressure from the man in the red robe.

"I broke through!" Yuan Ming was both shocked and delighted. His Death Moon method had finally broken through to the third level!

The memories of the past flooded into his mind.

The past was vivid, and his memories were fully restored!

During this time, while he was diligently cultivating the Nine Elements Formula to improve his cultivation, he did not slow down the practice of the Death Moon method. His soul power continued to grow, and had reached the peak of the second level.

Yuan Ming had originally planned to wait until the matter in the Biluo Cave was over, and then find a place to seclude himself and attempt to break through to the third level of the Death Moon method. Unexpectedly, with the strong pressure from the man in the red robe and the help of the incense burner, he had succeeded in one fell swoop.

Xiying noticed Yuan Ming’s changes and immediately looked at the man in the red robe.

"Sir, you’re quite imposing. You can’t bully someone who has made a contribution. Ougi, you must make a decision," she said angrily.

"Harmony is the most important thing. It’s just a small matter, just a small matter. Yuan Ming’s reward will be discussed separately," Ougi said, separating Yuan Ming and the man in the red robe.

"Where’s the bullying? I was just testing to see if he really had the ability to stay hidden in the Biluo Cave for so long. Yes, yes, this kid has a bright future. Poxiao has a good eye," the man in the red robe retracted his pressure and changed the subject.

The hunched old man and the woman in the green shirt were somewhat surprised by Yuan Ming’s performance under the heavy pressure.

"Hehe, just a little test. Yuan Ming, you’re not taking it to heart, are you?" Ougi said.

"Of course not. The seniors here are role models for the younger generation. I greatly admire the seniors’ heroic spirit in today’s battle," Yuan Ming said calmly.

"Sure enough, heroes emerge from the younger generation. You are from the Great Jin, right? A year after Poxiao, there will be a major task in the Great Jin. Our branch will join forces with a sect in the Great Jin to take action. Why don’t you participate as well? The reward for this task will definitely satisfy you, and we need someone to stay hidden in advance, with high safety, low risk, and great rewards," Ougi said.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Ougi, but I feel that the breakthrough in my cultivation is imminent. I may need to seclude myself for a long time. I hope the branch leader will understand," Yuan Ming said. The reward for the task at Poxiao was high, but he knew he wasn’t suitable to participate.

"What task? I can do that," Xiao Yao interjected.

"You shut up. The ancestor’s birthday is coming soon. We promised to return as soon as this is over," Xiying said.

"It’s a pity, but the most important thing in cultivation is experience, as the ancestor said," Xiao Yao wanted to argue, but was glared at by Xiying.

The others nearby heard that the Xiao family on the Red Lotus Island was about to celebrate the ancestor’s birthday, and it seemed to be a major event. They couldn’t help but think that it would be a great gain to go and congratulate them and receive a few array flags."I also wish to offer my congratulations on this birthday celebration. I have long admired the elder of the Xiao family," said the lady in green with a light smile.

"Of course, we must go and offer our felicitations," the man in red added.

"Yes, yes, yes, let’s go together. Today, we have faced life and death alongside the two Xiao brothers; Xiao Yao, you must give us a proper introduction," the hunchbacked elder said to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao replied, "No problem."

The atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

"I wonder, young friend Yuan, what is it that you desire?" Upon hearing this, Ou Ji turned his gaze to Yuan Ming and inquired.
