The mountain gate was beyond Yan Ning's unexpected calm. He did not see groups of fellow disciples, nor did he see elders holding weapons. Only a few young Taoist priests who had just entered the school cleaned the fallen leaves on the stairs of the mountain gate.

Yan Ning couldn't help but wonder: Didn't Dai Yuquan tell his master and the others about meeting the black bear spirit after he came back? Didn't Huang Yuyan go up the mountain?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, Yan Ning began to run into the Ling Palace. The old elder Yutian saw Yan Ning's panic and couldn't help but tell him a lesson, but unexpectedly, Yan Ning didn't even look at him and ran directly past him.

This made Yutian angry and followed, wanting to see what Yan Ning was anxious about.

In addition to rituals, the Ling Palace is often a place for Maoshan disciples to meditate and practice in a clear mind. At this time, the head Tao Hongjing sat above with his five hearts facing the sky, and a whisk was placed in front of him. It seemed that he had been in meditation for a long time.

There were no less than a hundred disciples sitting below. Their condition was the same as Tao Hongjing. However, occasionally a few unserious disciples opened their eyes and looked at others secretly.

The spiritual palace was so quiet, but Yan Ning kicked open the door: "Dai Yuquan! Where is Dai Yuquan!"

Everyone was awakened by Yan Ning's voice, and several of the elders even said angrily: "Yu Jiaping, are you crazy? This is the Ling Palace, how can you make a loud noise!"

"Where is the one who is Dai Yuquan?"

Yan Ning ignored the elder's scolding, but instead looked for Dai Yuquan's figure among his disciples.

Yutian also chased after him and cursed: "Yu Jiaping, do you still have any etiquette in your eyes? Are you not taking the Maoshan sect rules seriously?"

Tao Hongjing frowned and said, "Jiaping, what happened?"

One of the elders said, "I asked Dai Yuquan to bring a few new disciples into the back mountain to collect herbs, but I don't know why they haven't come back yet."

"They can't come back." Yan Ning smiled bitterly.

"What's the meaning?"

"I was chopping wood in the back mountain. When I heard someone screaming, I went over to find out and found that several new disciples were lying in a pool of blood. One of the younger brothers who was not dead told me that a black bear spirit appeared in the back mountain. Dai Yuquan left them and ran away by himself."

Yan Ning also told the story of the Black Bear Spirit going down the mountain to kill people, but in the end he only said that the Black Bear Spirit was injured and fled by himself. He did not tell the story of the Extreme Fire Immortal in public.

Elder Yutian's face changed: "What happened?!"

Another elder who ordered the collection of herbs was even more gloomy: "Yu Jiaping, what you said is true? You have to know that slandering your fellow disciples in Maoshan is a serious crime, and it is no exaggeration to punish you for facing the wall for ten years!"

Yan Ning said seriously: "If I, Yu Jiaping, have a lie, I will no longer be from Maoshan!"

Tao Hongjing finally spoke: "All disciples, go down the mountain immediately to find Dai Yuquan's whereabouts!"

"There is also Huang Yuyan, the daughter of the Yellow Hunter at the foot of the mountain!" Yan Ning said, "I asked Huang Yuyan to go up the mountain to ask for help first, but she has not yet arrived at the mountain gate. Maybe she has encountered something unexpected..."

Tao Hongjing nodded: "It happened at the foot of our Maoshan Mountain at this time. We must not tolerate it. Dai Yuquan and Huang Yuyan, you all want to find it back!"

"Yes! Master!"

The Maoshan disciples took the orders uniformly and immediately left the Ling Palace, went back to get the weapons, and began to search around Maoshan.

Although Yutian was an elder, he did not stay in the Ling Palace to wait for news, but took his disciples down the mountain to find someone.

Everyone left the Ling Palace, and Yan Ning also wanted to go out with them to search, but Tao Hongjing suddenly called Yan Ning: "Jiaping, come here, I have something to ask you."

"Master, can you say anything before you find them?" Yan Ning said anxiously.

"There are thousands of disciples in Maoshan, and you are not short of you, don't worry," Tao Hongjing said seriously. "According to my understanding of the black bear spirits, they hold great revenge. If they did not encounter any invincible enemy, they would never give up chasing you and escape. Do you have anything else to hide from everyone?"

Yan Ning knew that this matter could not be hidden from Tao Hongjing, so he admitted directly: "When the black bear spirit was chasing me, I took it to the back mountain and accidentally fell into a meteorite crater."

"So, have you seen him?" Tao Hongjing instantly understood what was going on.

Yan Ning nodded: "That senior also said that from now on, I don't have to come back to Maoshan, I just need to practice with him..."

Tao Hongjing raised his eyebrows: "Is this actually happening?"

Yan Ning shut up and looked at Tao Hongjing nervously, wondering what Tao Hongjing would react after hearing this news.

Who knew that Tao Hongjing suddenly laughed: "Jiaping, maybe it's because he is not qualified to be a teacher and can't see your outstanding talents. Well, in the future, you will follow that senior and practice well. This is your luck!"

Tao Hongjing was so refreshed that Yan Ning was a little stunned: "Master, this..."

"No need to say anything, following that senior is much better than following me." Tao Hongjing said meaningfully.

When Yan Ning heard Tao Hongjing calling the Immortal of the Fire Earth as his senior, he was stunned. Is the strength of the Immortal of the Fire Earth above his master?

"Don't think too much. If you are worried about Huang Yuyan's safety, go down the mountain to find her." Tao Hongjing waved his hand and said.

Yan Ning did not dare to disobey his master's order, so he could only carry the long sword in his room and walk down the mountain with his mind full of doubts.

Although there are many disciples in Maoshan, Maoshan is vast, so how easy is it to find two people?

Seeing that everyone had not gained something for a long time, Yan Ning couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He left the team alone and began to walk into the deep mountains and forests.

Maoshan at night is not so peaceful, and lonely ghosts are all trivial matters. If you meet a few black bear spirits again, Yan Ning may not even have a chance to escape.

Yan Ning walked quickly in the mountains and forests. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange movement from the bracelet on his left wrist.

"This bracelet seems to want to tell me something."

Yan Ning tried to move in four directions and found that when he was walking towards the north, the bracelet's reaction was the most exaggerated.

"north?"

For some reason, Yan Ning could only choose to believe in this magical bracelet. He walked quickly towards the north. After running for about ten minutes, he suddenly saw a dark cave in front of him, and outside the cave was a pile of extinguished bonfires.

"Someone has stayed here before!"

Yan Ning's face was solemn. It was obviously impossible for the bonfire to be left by Huang Yuyan. Then there was only one possibility... Dai Yuquan, who had been here before!
