Tianhai Fairy Journey

Qingyun Peak.

Two figures, one blue and one purple, stood on the cliff like a pair of immortal Taoists.

At this moment, Mu Ziyu finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "After my husband fought on the front line, he was considered by the outside world to be the best among the two late Nascent Soul masters in Luoyun Sea. Now, my husband has made another breakthrough, and his strength is probably even more unfathomable."

Seeing the curiosity in Mu Ziyu's eyes, Li Qing smiled softly and said, "After this breakthrough, at least those two people in Luoyun Sea will not be able to take your husband's life easily."

The seemingly casual words reveal a strong self-confidence.

Hearing this, Mu Ziyu couldn't help but dilate her pupils, and a look of shock appeared on her beautiful face.

She naturally knew her husband's style of doing things. Although his reputation was becoming more and more dazzling, his style of doing things was that of a low-key person.

After hearing these words from her husband's own mouth, Mu Ziyu understood in her heart that her husband already had the means to protect his life from the threat of a powerful late Nascent Soul cultivator.

"In that case, I can act more freely."

Mu Ziyu's face was filled with excitement and she showed an even brighter smile.

"Oh? Why?"

Li Qing looked at Mu Ziyu with a smile.

"My husband, you don't know that as your reputation shines, the influence of the sect is also growing rapidly. If we want to develop quickly, we will inevitably be involved with Xuhai Palace and Yuanli Palace. The collection and trading of some spiritual objects will inevitably collide with them."

"Now that my husband's strength has reached this point, I am not going to give in on anything."

"Haha, it's okay, you can decide the scale yourself."

Li Qing smiled calmly.

With his current strength, not to mention Xuhai Palace, even the hostile Yuanli Palace would not easily want to turn against him completely.

When hunting the Demon King on the front battlefield, he also personally entered the battlefield area under the charge of Yuan Ligong. At that time, Yuan Ligong even deliberately forced him to move away.

At this moment, Li Qing suddenly noticed a hint of hesitation in Mu Ziyu's eyes.

"Why? Is there anything else?"

Hearing this, the smile on Mu Ziyu's face faded a little, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to affect my husband's good mood at this moment, but it's not good for my husband to be unaware of this matter."

Seeing Mu Ziyu's emotional changes at this moment, Li Qing seemed to have thought of the reason: "Luo Hong?"

"That's right, Junior Brother Luo failed to break through and died three months ago."

Mu Ziyu sighed and continued, "Junior Brother Luo had already failed to break through a year ago and suffered a serious injury. He was in danger. Later, Patriarch Jingshui used the sect's treasure to protect him from death. He wanted to wait until my husband came out of seclusion before asking for an audience, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hold on."

"Junior Sister Ding Yao sent me a letter saying that Junior Brother Luo left a jade slip that needs to be handed over to my husband personally."

Li Qing stood there quietly without saying anything.

Before he went into seclusion, he already knew that Luo Hong was about to start his journey to the Nascent Soul stage.

I didn't expect it to be the worst ending.

After a moment, Li Qing sighed and shook his head.

Just when he was promoted, he heard the news of his old friend's death.

In fact, the opportunity he gave to Luo Hong that year was also because he felt that Luo Hong had little chance of breaking through with his own strength, but he did not expect that the opportunity in Luofeng Valley could not help Luo Hong change his fate.

Among the few old friends of Qianshui Yuling Sect, Luo Hong was the one with whom he had the most contact.

Back then, when he was still practicing Qi Refining, he acted together under the leadership of Luo Hong.

Looking at the expression on her husband's face, Mu Ziyu also sighed softly.

She knew that although her husband seemed cold and aloof, and rarely interacted with the people in the sect, he was not a truly heartless person.

Otherwise, such a precious opportunity of Luofeng Valley would not have been given to Luo Hong.

After all, it is the friendship of old friends that is remembered.

"Well, just come with me."

Li Qing brought Mu Ziyu with him and landed on a core spiritual vein on the inner island of Qianshui Yuling Sect.

This was his first time setting foot on the inner island since the relocation.

The Inner Island is the place where the inner disciples, core talents and Jindan elders of Qianshui Yuling Sect practice in seclusion. It is also the core of the operation of the entire Qianshui Yuling Sect.

A light blue spiritual peak full of spiritual energy is located in the core area of ​​the inner island.

A long and mighty river flows through the foot of its sacred peak.

The rising mist in the sky half-covered the sacred peak.

At this moment, a woman in plain white clothes was standing in a corner of Lingfeng Mountain, staring blankly at somewhere in the distance.

After a moment, two figures landed on the spiritual peak.

The woman in white with the Golden Core cultivation level seemed to have not noticed anything and had lost her basic spiritual perception.

Seeing this scene, a hint of pity appeared in Mu Ziyu's beautiful eyes.

After Luo Hong's death, Ding Yao began to fall into this state.

Under the erosion of unimaginable sadness, Ding Yao was deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.

"Junior Sister Ding, my husband and I are here to see you."

Although she felt a little reluctant, Mu Ziyu still took the initiative to speak and bring Ding Yao's attention back.

The graceful figure in white slowly turned around, and the confusion in her eyes slowly dissipated. When she saw Li Qing, she knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"Disciple Ding Yao, I pay my respects to Ancestor Qing Xuan"

Looking at the Su Yunzi Ding Yao, who was once one of the Four Sons of Qianshui, Li Qing nodded gently: "We are old friends, there is no need to be like this."

A magical power lifted up Ding Yao's kneeling figure.

But at this moment, Ding Yao unexpectedly struggled: "I hope the ancestor will help me. I want to complete my husband's last wish on his behalf."

Seeing the determination on Ding Yao's face, Li Qing immediately dissipated his magic power.

Ding Yao kowtowed deeply to Li Qing three times with great respect.

"Before my husband left, his biggest regret was that he didn't wait for the ancestor to come out of retreat, so he asked his disciple to perform the ceremony on his behalf to express his gratitude for the ancestor's support."

As she spoke, Ding Yao's voice became more choked up again, and her eyes began to become hazy.

Seeing Ding Yao's appearance at this moment, Li Qing's heart was filled with some ripples.

Su Yunzi, who was known for her intelligence in those days, was now as infatuated as an ordinary woman and even unable to extricate herself.

Today, Ding Yao is still struggling in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He has long been crushed by the endless stream of geniuses in the sect, and his talent and intelligence are completely lost in comparison with everyone else.

I think it was because she gave up on seeking the truth that she fell so deeply.

But now, with Luo Hong's death due to his failure in reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Ding Yao can be said to have no emotional support anymore.

Li Qing shook his head gently.

Just as he said when he gave Luo Hong the opportunity.

He also hoped to see three Yuanying True Lords emerge from the four Qianshui sons back then, but now it seems that not everyone can glimpse the Yuanying Avenue after all.

After Luo Hong's death, the Qianshui Four Sons completely became a thing of the past.

"This is the jade slip that my husband specifically asked me to pass on to the old ancestor."

Ding Yao forced herself to suppress the sadness in her heart, held up a blue jade slip in her hands and walked forward.

"My husband originally wanted to repay the ancestor's kindness after entering the Nascent Soul stage, but now..." Ding Yao's face was full of desolation.

Li Qing took the jade slip and his consciousness fell into it.

"Disciple Luo Hong pays homage to the ancestor. It's a pity that the disciple can only see the ancestor in this way now."

"Disciple Luo Hong has failed to live up to the trust of the ancestor and has failed to be promoted."

The message that Luo Hong left in the jade slip was full of guilt and an irreconcilable resentment.

"The four sons of Qianshui back then left my husband and I alone without the chance to achieve the Yuanying Dao. I think we have no chance to achieve that Dao in this life. If there is an afterlife, I will continue to practice and seek the Dao of Longevity, but I can no longer repay the kindness of my ancestors in this life."

.

Li Qing slowly put away the jade slip.

At this moment, Ding Yao was continuing to perform the final salute on behalf of Luo Hong.

"The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Junior sister, please be at ease." Mu Ziyu was comforting Ding Yao at the side.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Although my husband died unfortunately, with the support of our ancestors, he has dispelled his obsession and truly felt the power of the Nascent Soul."

"My biggest regret now is that I didn't leave him with any offspring before this. Now he has nothing to worry about."

As he spoke, Ding Yao's face was full of confusion.

"Heir?"

Ding Yao's words caused some ripples in Mu Ziyu's heart.

A thought also arises spontaneously in my mind.

In the world of immortal cultivation, when there is no hope of promotion, some cultivators will take the initiative to choose to branch out, thereby changing the objects of their reliance and spending the rest of their lives.

But soon, Mu Ziyu dispelled these distracting thoughts.

She understood that this was not very realistic for her, and she knew her husband's desire to pursue the truth very well.

.

Three days later.

Inside the Qianshui Yuling Sect.

Under the chairmanship of Mu Ziyu, the entire sect began to hold a grand ceremony for Luo Hong.

As one of the four inner sect peak masters of the sect, Luo Hong should also have this qualification.

Qingyun Island.

The top of a towering sacred peak.

Li Qing stood quietly, looking into the distance.

The scene of the festival on the inner island appeared in his eyes.

When a person dies, the light goes out.

As time goes by, the mark left by Luo Hong will completely disappear.

At this moment.

Li Qing then slowly looked in another direction.

I saw a faint red color between the sky and the earth in the distance, like a ray of sunshine blending into the sky and the earth, and still moving.

Only after a closer look could one discover that it was a red flying boat.

But its aura is hidden and merged into the heaven and earth.

The red flying boat flew over the sky above Qianshui Yuling Sect, and all the disciples of Qianshui Yuling Sect below noticed something unusual.

In a moment, the flying boat was already heading towards Qingyun Island.

Li Qing stretched out his hand and waved.

The boundless clouds and fog covering Qingyun Island quickly dissipated.

The spirit boat entered Qingyun Island and then disappeared, and two figures appeared.

"Meet fellow Daoist Qing"

The old man in the lead was the great elder of the Zheng family - Zheng Jun.

"I didn't expect that Brother Zheng would arrive so quickly."

Li Qing smiled slightly and then cupped his hands.

As soon as he released the news of his release, Zheng Jun immediately sent a message saying that he wanted to visit him.

But he did not expect that Zheng Jun would be so anxious.

Immediately rushed over from the front battlefield without stopping.

Judging from his actions, it is obvious that there is some special meaning behind them.

At this moment, even Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little more curious.

I don't know why the Zheng family's great elder was so anxious to come and see him.

"I didn't expect that I came at the wrong time."

Zheng Jun looked apologetic.

"It's okay. Since you are in such a hurry, it must be something important. Please go in."

Then the three of them landed in a hall at the foot of the sacred peak.

In the main hall.

Li Qing took the initiative to speak and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zheng is in such a hurry, is there something important?"

"I came here this time because I have something important to discuss with you, fellow Qingdao friend."

Zheng Jun said it directly without any hesitation.

"I believe that Fellow Daoist Qing is also aware of the current situation on the battlefield. Although the Golden Demon Nation is resisting stubbornly, the entire Demon Slayer Alliance has begun to gradually approach the Zhengyuan Islands."

Zheng Jun said with a serious look on his face: "This means that the final decisive battle may break out at any time."

Li Qing nodded slightly.

Naturally, he already knew the situation on the front battlefield.

But he didn't think the final battle would come so soon.

The Zhengyuan Islands serve as the invasion base of the Golden Demon Kingdom, and there are several powerful fourth-stage late-stage demon kings stationed inside. Once the war breaks out, it will mean an unimaginable brutal war.

At that time, several powerful late Nascent Soul masters stationed at the front line will need to take action personally.

Even the Ji family needs to be extremely cautious and fully prepared.

"Could it be that Brother Zheng's visit this time is related to this matter?" Li Qing said with a slight smile.

"That's right. I want to ask for help from Fellow Daoist Qing on behalf of the Zheng family."

As he said this, the great elder of Zheng County stood up solemnly and bowed.

"Zheng Daoyou is too serious"

Li Qing stood up to return the greeting, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"If Fellow Daoist Zheng really gets into trouble, the entire Xuhai Palace camp will not sit idly by."

Seeing that Li Qing did not directly express his attitude, Zheng Jun remained calm, and it was obvious that he was already prepared.

"This time, I came here mainly to ask for help from fellow Daoist Qing."

"Oh? What does Zheng Daoyou mean?"

Li Qing pretended to be surprised.

"Although I have some strength, it is still nothing compared to the Xuhai Palace."

Hearing this, Zheng Jun smiled and shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Qing, don't be modest. In the current battlefield, I am afraid that apart from the two late Nascent Soul masters who are in charge of Fengwu Ancient Palace, Fellow Daoist Qing is the undisputed number one."

As the great elder of the Zheng family who once monopolized an area of ​​sea, he naturally understood the power of the person in front of him.

Even though Xuhai Palace has a great master in the late Nascent Soul stage in charge, it still needs to treat the person in front of it seriously.

In the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he possesses terrifying combat power that is close to the level of a powerful late Nascent Soul.

The terrifying potential of this person before me is unimaginable.

Zheng Jun also understood at this moment.

The famous Qingxuan Zhenjun in front of him may look young, but in fact his intelligence is not inferior to his. Amidst the countless compliments, he still did not get lost and become arrogant.

"In that case, I will just speak frankly."

Zheng Jun did not hesitate and directly stated his purpose.

"The reason I came to ask for help from Daoist Fellow Qing this time is related to the secrets of our Zheng family, which cannot be disclosed to others. That is why I want to ask Daoist Fellow Qing for help directly."

"Fellow Daoist Qing also knows that the Zhengyuan Islands were once the core area of ​​our Zheng family's business. Now the Demon Slayer Alliance has pushed the battlefield deep into the depths. In fact, near the Zhengyuan Islands, there is a place where our Zheng family has hidden spiritual treasures. This time, we came here to cooperate with fellow Daoist Qing and get the treasure together." (End of this chapter)
