Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1425 The Visit, in Secrecy

"Is Sister Lingyi also interested in the methods of our Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Accompanied by a sweet, dreamlike laugh.

A special guest arrived at Huxinju.

The black phantom continued to twist and ripple, and a beautiful woman in a long black dress slowly appeared.

A stunningly beautiful face, as if sculpted by nature itself, had just been revealed, and it immediately stole the colors from the surrounding world.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Shan Lingyi was quite surprised, but not too much of an unexpected reaction.

When she heard the news that the Heavenly Demon Sect had appeared on the battlefield, she thought of her husband's confidante in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, even Shan Lingyi, who also possessed a special spiritual body, couldn't help but feel envious.

Compared to their first meeting, this Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect has become even more stunningly beautiful, practically flawless, as if she doesn't belong to this world.

"Greetings, Sister Qin!"

Shan Lingyi took the initiative to greet her with a smile.

"That was just a joke from my husband. I had no intention of inquiring about Sister Qin's sect's methods!"

Although this was only their second meeting, Shan Lingyi showed great enthusiasm, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

That's where her intelligence lies.

Shan Lingyi knew very well what kind of person this Sister Qin was. As the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, she was not only incredibly powerful, but her status was also unimaginable. It was said that the mastermind behind the Heavenly Demon Sect's assassination operation that shook the entire Taiyuan Realm was none other than the confidante of her husband.

Compared to her current meager strength, this exceptional woman before her is the one who can truly provide assistance to her husband.

She would never let a little jealousy affect her husband's path to enlightenment.

"My sister is truly devoted to Elder Qing!"

A look of affection appeared on Qin Wanqing's face.

The Heavenly Demon Sect's techniques were incredibly adept at sensing the inner feelings of all living beings, so she instantly understood the sincere intentions of the beautiful woman before her.

"Sister Qin, you are mistaken. Lingyi is different from you. Sister Qin was born a favored daughter of heaven, destined for a limitless future, while Lingyi comes from the bottom of the cultivation world. Without her husband's support, Lingyi would probably still be struggling to survive at the bottom of the cultivation world. How could she have achieved her current Nascent Soul cultivation level!"

Shan Lingyi smiled gently: "Everything Lingyi has now is a gift from my husband. Even if I can't be an aid to my husband, I certainly can't interfere with his cultivation."

"What a devoted woman!"

Qin Wanqing sighed softly, her gaze fixed on the young figure in green robes standing in the distance, then she said with a hint of anger, "It's just a pity that we encountered such a heartless person."

the other side.

Li Qing's smile faltered for a moment, then a helpless look appeared on his lips.

It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing to tease Shan Lingyi, but it backfired and caused trouble for her.

Women's thinking is so agile. Even the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who now holds a high status, is just like an ordinary woman. In just a few words, she turned her attention to him.

"Sister Qin, you've misunderstood your husband!"

Shan Lingyi chuckled sweetly, "My husband is not the heartless person the world is like. In fact, compared to my husband's unwavering pursuit of the Great Dao, we are the ones who came later!"

"Besides, although my husband hasn't seen Sister Qin for many years, she definitely holds a place in his heart!"

With Shan Lingyi's help to get out of the predicament, Qin Wanqing stopped talking about that heartless topic and instead looked at Li Qing with feigned sorrow: "Elder Qing, is it really as Lingyi said?"

Looking into those expectant eyes filled with deep affection and sorrow, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt, as if he had let down a wife who had been waiting patiently at home for her husband's return.

"Of course!"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's been so many years, I've missed you terribly."

He knew, of course, that this peerless beauty had used her powers on him again, but at this critical moment, he dared not say anything inappropriate.

"Elder Qing is not sincere!"

Qin Wanqing pursed her red lips slightly: "If it's the truth, why do you need to dispel my mental influence?"

A hint of helplessness appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

If the Heavenly Demon Sect's inherited power is not shielded, it can easily perceive the subtle changes in his emotions, which would likely expose him.

"All right!"

Qin Wanqing's demeanor suddenly changed, she no longer had the demure woman's demeanor, and regained her former aloof, mysterious, and noble aura.

"Even if Lingyi is curious, I can certainly satisfy you, after all, we're not strangers!"

"The reason that operation went undetected was because the Heavenly Demon Sect had already entered the fray, merely waiting for an opportunity to strike. The Yin Corpse Sect alone could not possibly withstand the combined forces of the four top powers, including the Joyful Union Sect."

"In fact, from the very beginning of the operation, the sect had already controlled some people, using their identities to hide deep within the enemy's camp."

Shan Lingyi then realized what was happening.

No wonder the Heavenly Demon Sect's actions are said to be silent and mysterious; it turns out they were actually hiding inside the enemy's camp.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Sister Qin!"

Shan Lingyi smiled and bowed, "I won't disturb you and your husband any longer. I'll take my leave now!"

Although this woman is her husband's confidante, she is also the Holy Maiden of a terrifying demonic sect. Her visit this time is certainly not just for a simple reunion; there must be something important to discuss.

Watching Shan Lingyi's departing figure, Qin Wanqing couldn't help but praise, "Elder Qing is truly blessed to have found such a wise and insightful woman!"

“Lingyi’s inner world is completely different from that of the outside world.”

A hint of curiosity appeared on Qin Wanqing's exquisite face.

"Her mind is vast yet not chaotic; despite its many thoughts, it is well-organized, clear, and pure!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing smiled gently and said, "Lingyi has an exquisite body and a naturally intelligent mind."

"Her success is largely due to her own abilities; other factors are merely icing on the cake!"

"No wonder!"

Qin Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle: "I was wondering how someone could be so perceptive!"

As they spoke, the two walked side by side, descending towards the mountaintop at the same time.

"I never imagined that we would meet again in this Taiyuan Realm after parting ways all those years ago!"

Gazing at the clouds drifting across the distant mountains, Li Qing regained his former composure.

At this moment, Qin Wanqing seemed to have thought of something, and said with a strange expression, "Not to mention Elder Qing, even I never expected all of this to happen!"

"Could it be that the decision to relocate the clan was only recently considered?" Li Qing asked.

"consider?"

Qin Wanqing said helplessly, "You could say that, but it's the result of taking everything into consideration!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

He had already vaguely discerned the deeper meaning in Qin Wanqing's words, which clearly carried a hint of reluctance. But who could influence the Heavenly Demon Sect's decision? The Heavenly Demon Sect was not only a peak power with a Grand Cultivator-level expert in charge, but its ancient heritage also far surpassed that of ordinary peak powers outside.

"Speaking of which, this matter is actually somewhat related to Elder Qing!"

How much does this have to do with me?

Upon hearing this, even the usually calm Li Qing couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.

"Elder Qing, are you curious?"

A charming smile appeared on Qin Wanqing's beautiful face, and she took the initiative to link arms with Li Qing.

In an instant, Li Qing felt an astonishing allure wash over him, forcing him to once again use his power to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

This demonstrates Qin Wanqing's formidable strength; with every smile and frown, she is like a legendary extraterrestrial demon, captivating hearts and minds.

Even without deliberately using its own power, it could still distract Li Qing, who had entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, from dispelling its allure.

"Of course I'm curious."

Li Qing smiled faintly and asked, "Just who is it that possesses such strength, enough to make your sect wary?"

"It's more than just three points!"

Qin Wanqing also joked, "It should be at least five points or higher."

"However, if I were to tell Elder Qing this secret, how does Elder Qing intend to repay me?"

"How does Wanqing intend for me to repay this?"

Li Qing chuckled softly, "You already know all my methods. If they can help you, I certainly won't stand idly by."

Qin Wanqing shook her head with a charming smile: "I can believe the second statement, but I'll pass on the first one."

"I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to learn all of Elder Qing's secrets!"

She didn't think that the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect was the biggest secret the other party was hiding; it might just be one of the many secrets the other party possessed.

Looking at the youthful face beside her, just as it had always been, Qin Wanqing recalled her past memories.

Years ago, she fell into the hands of the sea tribe and faced a life-or-death crisis. At the critical moment, it was this man in front of her who saved her. Later, by a twist of fate, he became a guest elder of the Qin family and helped the Qin family resolve many crises.

Just as she couldn't see through the mysterious Elder Qing before, she still can't see through him now, even as the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

There always seems to be a mysterious veil surrounding the other person that makes it impossible for anyone to see through them.

Perhaps it was precisely because of that mystery that could never be fully understood that she fell for it back then, making it her greatest emotional tribulation.

"I even suspect that if I were to discover all of Elder Qing's secrets one day, he might choose to kill me to silence me!"

Qin Wanqing smiled coquettishly, with a hint of teasing.

"Alright, I won't hide it from Elder Qing anymore. The biggest reason why the Heavenly Demon Sect chose to relocate is because of Elder Qing's good friend from the Yuanhuang Domain back then - Baili Luo!"

"Baili Luo?"

Li Qing was initially surprised, but eventually came to terms with it.

No wonder even the Heavenly Demon Sect had to be wary of them; it turned out to be the Baili family, the number one Dao Saint Clan in the Sealed Land.

Looking across the entire Sealed Land, the Baili family is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying forces in terms of strength and resources.

The First Dao Saint Clan is not just a name; it represents true strength and foundation.

The Baili family dared to participate in the scheme against one of the only two Nascent Soul True Venerables in this world—the Sea Lord.

The Battle of Heaven that broke out in the Sealed Heaven Realm of the Inner Star Sea back then was backed by the Baili family.

"It seems the Baili family has made contact with that fellow Daoist Baili Luo after all!"

Back when he was participating in the competition for the Earthly Fiend Ranking, he happened to encounter a powerful member of the Baili family who claimed to be from the same lineage as Baili Luo. Later, the other party wanted to find out Baili Luo's whereabouts from him, but he politely declined.

It now appears that Fellow Daoist Baili Luo has returned to his family.

What truly surprised him was that the entire Baili family was able to threaten the Heavenly Demon Sect on behalf of Baili Luo.

This shows that he underestimated his old friend from back then.

Within any powerful family or sect, there are bound to be numerous factions, and the struggle for interests is equally brutal. Under the current circumstances, the fact that the entire Baili family is willing to negotiate with another top power for the sake of a clansman demonstrates Baili Luo's status within the family.

"The Grand Elder of the Baili family personally came to the Heavenly Demon Sect, demonstrating their determination to acquire the Yuanhuang Domain and demanding that we relocate!"

Qin Wanqing looked helpless, never expecting that the mighty Heavenly Demon Sect would be threatened with relocation.

"In return, the Baili family promised that if the Heavenly Demon Sect were to appear in any of the Nine Realms of Xuan Nan in the future, they would choose to support it and not participate in its future expansion!"

Li Qing nodded deeply.

This condition is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The former Heavenly Demon Sect's current location was the Yuanhuang Domain. Strictly speaking, it did not belong to the true Xuannan Nine Realms, but was just an ancient, barbaric region.

Only by openly appearing in the Nine Realms of Xuannan can one truly establish oneself on the Xuannan Continent.

Gaining the recognition of the Baili family is equivalent to gaining the recognition of the mainstream cultivation world of Xuannan Continent.

The status of the Xuan Yi Realm in the Xuan Nan Continent is equivalent to that of the Inner Star Sea in the entire Star Sea.

The Baili family, as one of the controllers of the Xuan Yi Realm, is actually one of the controllers of the entire Xuan Nan Continent.

The Yin Corpse Sect is fighting so desperately just to emerge from the world. It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to gain recognition from the cultivation world of Xuan Nan Continent, but the Heavenly Demon Sect has already taken that step ahead of time.

"In that case, congratulations to your clan!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Although we lost face, the result is undoubtedly good!"

Qin Wanqing smiled and shook her head: "At least it will benefit the sect's future development!"

"As for why the sect leader chose to enter the Taiyuan Realm, it is naturally because this chaotic world is more suitable for the Heavenly Demon Sect to appear in the world, and it can also avoid the enormous pressure from the outside world!"

"The demonic faction still needs some time to truly establish itself in this world."

Thinking about the current state of the Taiyuan Realm, even Li Qing couldn't help but sigh.

It's really too chaotic.

The Yin Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect will certainly not be content to remain only within Yunliang Kingdom; once they have the opportunity, they will surely devour the world.

In the outer seas, there are also powerful and powerful sea creatures eyeing the land. It should be noted that the sea creatures' ambitions are not limited to the South China Sea. They have long coveted the vast continent within the Taiyuan territory. Those ancient alien races hidden deep within the world are also waiting for an opportunity to reappear in this world.

The five once dominant forces that controlled the Taiyuan Realm are now in a precarious state.

"Actually, besides wanting to see Elder Qing, I have another important matter to discuss with you!"

Qin Wanqing looked at Li Qing with her beautiful eyes again.

"To be precise, I wish to discuss a collaboration with Elder Qing."
