The middle-aged man chuckled and was very satisfied with Zhou Yiqiao's cautious attitude.

"Don't worry. I gave Mu Bai a sword talisman after returning to the sect. Even if the three of you die at the hands of the enemy, nothing will happen to Mu Bai."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao understood what the other party meant.

Li Mubai followed them, and he had the backup plan left by the powerful man in front of him, which was tantamount to telling them that no matter what kind of crisis they encountered in the future, Li Mubai would be the backup for the three of them.

"Senior, you have already said this. If I don't agree, I will be a little ignorant."

"It's just that our team is not made by the juniors alone. The juniors need to seek their opinions before they can give the seniors a clear answer."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yiqiao not to worry.

"I have already asked the elders of Qinjian Villa to greet these two young people from Qinjian Villa, and they dare not refuse."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao secretly sighed at the strength of this senior, then bowed solemnly and nodded in agreement.

"In this case, I have nothing more to say. I am willing to follow your arrangements."

Seeing this, a hint of approval flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He nodded slightly and smiled.

"Very good, Xu Hanchang and Qing Jimeng have already become fellow Taoists with Mu Bai. I will take you to the courtyard where they live now."

After he finished speaking, he appeared in front of Zhou Yiqiao and put his hand on Zhou Yiqiao's shoulder.

In an instant, Zhou Yiqiao felt his eyes go dark and the world was spinning. When he regained his vision a moment later, he found himself in front of a courtyard.

The courtyard is filled with swaying bamboo shadows and the fragrance of flowers, making it appear quiet and elegant, which is completely different from the awe-inspiring atmosphere surrounding Jianxin Pavilion.

The sound of Xu Hanchang and others talking could be heard in the courtyard, and it sounded like they were arguing about the operation path of a certain martial art.

Zhou Yiqiao and the middle-aged man walked into the courtyard together. Xu Hanchang, Qing Jimeng and Li Mubai immediately felt the presence of the two.

In just a moment, three people appeared outside the courtyard.

Seeing that it was Zhou Yiqiao and the middle-aged man returning together, Xu Hanchang and Qing Jimeng showed surprise on their faces at the same time, but soon turned into respect.

They quickly stepped forward and saluted the middle-aged man.

"I've met senior."

The middle-aged man raised his hands and helped the two men up. After glancing at the four of them, he spoke to them.

"You guys have been recuperating here for many days, it's time to get going."

Xu Hanchang and Qing Jimeng had been staying in the Tijian Sect just for Zhou Yiqiao, so they had no objection to this arrangement.

It was Zhou Yiqiao who returned last, who remembered something and turned to look at the middle-aged man.

"Senior, where are the disciples from Qinjian Villa who came with us now?"

After everyone heard this, before the middle-aged man could answer, Qing Jimeng spoke first.

"After we arrived at the Tijian Sect, the senior immediately contacted my father and asked the two junior brothers to bring the seriously injured people back to the sect for treatment."

Zhou Yiqiao felt relieved when he heard that. He bowed to the middle-aged man again and then returned to the team.

"Mu Bai, after leaving the Tijian Sect, you must follow the arrangements of Zhou Yiqiao and the others. If you encounter anything you are not clear about, you can ask Zhou Yiqiao."

"This kid has worked his way up from a remote place like Yanzhou. He has seen much more than most of the brothers in the sect. Moreover, he is thoughtful and steady. With him around, you will definitely gain something from this trip."

The middle-aged man looked at Li Mubai gently, his words full of expectations for the younger generation.

Li Mubai looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Master, rest assured. Mu Bai will definitely live up to your expectations and follow in the footsteps of Brother Zhou, learn with an open mind, and act with caution."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and disappeared from the sight of the four people.

After the middle-aged man left, Li Mubai brought Zhou Yiqiao, Xu Hanchang and Qing Jimeng to a secret teleportation array of the Tijian Sect.

This teleportation array is different from the common arrays in the outside world. It is connected by an extremely thick iron chain and there is a circle of iron fences around the teleportation array to protect it.

A faint blue-purple light flickered on the iron chain, which seemed to contain an ancient and powerful force of space. Whenever the light flickered, the surrounding air would distort slightly, revealing a sense of mystery that did not belong to this place.

As a disciple of the Tijian Sect, Li Mubai was naturally familiar with the teleportation array within the sect. He explained how to use it to the three people and then activated the formation.

With a slight vibration and flash of light, the figures of the four people gradually became blurred and finally disappeared in the teleportation array.

The Tijian Sect's teleportation array directly sent them to a hidden valley outside the sect. The scenery here was beautiful and the spiritual energy was rich, but the location was remote and not easy to be discovered.

The four of them walked out of the teleportation array. Zhou Yiqiao looked back and saw that the teleportation array slowly disappeared into the surrounding rocks, as if it had never existed.

"This Sword Sect's teleportation array is truly extraordinary. It can actually send us directly to such a distant place."

Zhou Yiqiao sighed.

Li Mubai explained.

"This is the sect's secret formation, and only the sect's core disciples are allowed to use it."

"If it weren't for the special permission from our great-grandmaster today, we wouldn't be able to use this formation."

Zhou Yiqiao and the other two looked at each other and once again secretly sighed at the powerful strength of the Tijian Sect.

As they were about to leave the Tijian Sect, the three men became bolder.

As the first to wake up and the one who had spent the longest time with Li Mubai among the three, Xu Hanchang was the first to break the silence. He patted Li Mubai on the shoulder and smiled.

"Brother Li, since we are going to be fellow Taoists fighting side by side for the next period of time, we should know each other well."

"How about this, the four of us will introduce ourselves and share our general abilities and methods of dealing with enemies, so that we can cooperate with each other when we encounter a battle in the future."

After he finished speaking, before Li Mubai could say anything, Xu Hanchang introduced himself first.

Zhou Yiqiao and Qing Jimeng shook their heads helplessly. They naturally knew what Xu Hanchang was up to.

However, the two were also quite curious about the Tijian Sect, so they took the opportunity to make a brief introduction, explaining the general level of cultivation and the techniques they were good at.

After the three of them finished speaking, they all turned their eyes to Li Mubai.

Although Li Mubai is not clear about the ways of the world, it does not mean that he is a sword fanatic who only knows how to practice. He certainly understands the real intentions of Zhou Yiqiao and the other two.

However, when he thought of the private conversation he had with his uncle-master after they returned to the sect, his heart moved slightly and he spoke lightly.
