Chapter 219 Everything is about to begin
Elder Baiyun was secretly calculating in his mind, looking with complicated eyes at Zhu Yanzhi, the disciple whom he had always taught carefully but had difficulty in fully controlling.
Zhu Yanzhi's progress was beyond his expectations. Even if he intentionally suppressed him and did not teach him overly powerful skills, Zhu Yanzhi was still able to make rapid breakthroughs, as if there was some mysterious force behind him pushing him forward.
"Could it be that someone is really helping him secretly?"
Old man Baiyun muttered to himself, and the earth-shaking battle three hundred years ago emerged in his mind.
In that battle, Qingyun Sect suffered heavy losses, many elders died, and Elder Hei Yao's whereabouts were unknown, and his life or death was uncertain.
Now, this mysterious old man who suddenly appeared was so powerful that even old man Baiyun had to be a little wary.
He knelt on the ground, secretly speculating on the other party's identity and the possible connection between him and Zhu Yanzhi.
"Senior, who exactly are you? What is your relationship with my disciple Zhu Yanzhi?"
The old man Baiyun asked cautiously, with a hint of awe and temptation in his voice.
The mysterious old man did not answer immediately. His eyes swept over the old man Baiyun, as if he could see into his inner thoughts.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I am an old friend of Qingyun Sect. I left for some reason three hundred years ago. Now I have returned only to find a lost item."
"Lost things? Could it be..."
Old Man Baiyun's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed that the lost item the old man mentioned might be related to the wick of Floating Lotus.
However, the old man did not directly respond to his guess, but changed the subject: "Zhu Yanzhi, I watched him grow up. His talent and potential are far beyond your imagination. I came back this time to help him."
Hearing this, old man Baiyun couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He knew very well that although he had always regarded Zhu Yanzhi as his successor, Zhu Yanzhi's true strength and potential had probably long been beyond his control.
"Senior, I..."
Old man Baiyun wanted to talk but stopped. He didn't know what to say, nor did he know how to face this mysterious old man who suddenly appeared.
The mysterious old man seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled: "Don't worry, I have no intention of competing with you for anything. I just hope that Zhu Yanzhi can become a truly strong man under your and my joint guidance."
Hearing this, Old Man Baiyun felt a little relieved.
Elder Baiyun frowned. Although he had expected this, when he heard the words "the wick of the floating lotus" from the mouth of the elder with the brown mask, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.
He looked up at the mysterious elder in the brown mask, trying to find a clue or flaw in his eyes.
"Senior, is the lost item you mentioned really the wick of the Floating Life Lotus?"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in Elder Baiyun's voice. He knew very well the importance of this wick and the secrets that might be hidden behind it.
The brown-masked elder did not answer directly, but turned his gaze to Master Tianyu on the ground, with a meaningful tone: "Tianyu, was once an elder of Qingyun Sect, and was also half-master of Zhu Yanzhi. Baiyun, as Zhu Yanzhi's master, if you knew that your master treated his disciple like this, how would you feel?"
Elder Baiyun's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
