Journey to the head

Chapter 534 Storm
In Wanling County of Cangzhou, near the mountain gate of Lingshou Sect, Yuanxu Lingjun and Kaixuan Lingjun Sikong Sheng were fighting each other. The golden elixirs of both sides were fighting against each other. No clouds could be seen within a thousand miles, as they were all shaken apart by the great power of the cultivators.

But now it was completely silent; the warring parties had already left, leaving only the broken trees and rocks on the mountain, telling of a fierce battle.

In the previous battle, Yuanxu Lingjun and Sikong Sheng were old rivals. They knew each other's magical powers, moves, and magic weapons very well. Although Yuanxu Lingjun and Xuangui Cangliu could slightly suppress Sikong Sheng, they had to admit that this old man was indeed a tough opponent.

Yuan Xu Ling Jun felt Si Kong Sheng's determination as soon as he made a move. Yuan Xu Ling Jun was too familiar with the martial arts lunatics of the Si Kong family. They were really prepared to stop him at any cost, even if it meant starting a war, and not let him go to rescue Yunshan Sect.

Yuanxu Lingjun narrowed his eyes.

It is not cost-effective to fight a big battle with the Sikong family just for Lu Qian and the Yunshan Sect.

But the decision to rescue has been made, how can we retreat easily just because of the enemy's obstruction! What's more, this group of martial crazy people rode directly to the mountain gate of Wanling County!
Why should my Spirit Beast Sect fear a battle?
As a result, the two sides collided with each other and started fighting seriously. The golden elixirs of the Spirit Beast Sect and the Sikong Family also rushed together, vowing to fight to the death.

After a while, the two Nascent Souls were injured, and several of the two Golden Cores were seriously injured. But at this time, the intelligence from both sides was delivered almost at the same time.

"After Yunshan Sect Leader Lu Qian survived five levels of thunder tribulation, he was hit by another level of thunder tribulation and died from the thunder!"

All of a sudden, Sikong Sheng burst into laughter, and Yuan Xu Lingjun's face became gloomy.

The thunder from the sky will add another layer, which has never been heard of since ancient times! Lu Qian, Lu Qian, what great sin have you committed?
Lu Qian is already dead! And he was not killed by the Qiming Lingjun, but was directly killed by the thunder. Now the Yunshan Sect must retreat immediately. Even if they still want to continue to rescue Wu Yan based on her potential, they will definitely not be able to catch up.

There was no need for both sides to continue fighting anymore. After leaving a few sarcastic remarks, Sikong Sheng waved his sleeves and left with his monks.

In fact, subsequent intelligence also proved that it was too late. Although the Yunshan Sect unexpectedly chose to continue the fight, they were no match for Qiming Lingjun after all. Intelligence came one after another. Hearing that the Yunshan Sect's defense line was gradually disintegrating, Taoist Xichan sighed and stamped his feet. Zhenren Youde sighed again and again, helpless. Yuanxu Lingjun closed his eyes, thinking about how to clean up the mess and fight back against the Sikong family.

As Sikong Sheng was flying, he listened to the information being relayed and snorted coldly, "The Yunshan Sect still has a person with a natural spiritual root. He is ultimately a nuisance. The Spirit Beast Sect will definitely find a way to take him in. We can't let them do what they want."

A Jindan behind him said, "Since Lu Qian is dead, the previous battle is no longer valid. We can just kill Wu Yan directly."

Sikong Sheng scolded, "Idiot! Heavenly Spiritual Roots are so precious. Now it's not just the Spiritual Beast Sect. I'm afraid that fool Miaomiao Xuanjun will have the so-called love for talent and want to strengthen the power of our state. If our Sikong family takes action personally, we will definitely get no benefits."

Sikong Heng was following behind him, and upon hearing this, he said hurriedly: "Third Grandpa is right, I think it would be better to instigate the Qinglian True Sect to take action."

Just at this moment, the latest information came. Jindan, who was responsible for receiving the information, unfolded it and took a look. He was suddenly shocked and stopped in mid-air.

"What's going on!" Sikong Sheng said angrily.

The golden elixir shouted in shock: "Third uncle, Lu, Lu Qian is alive again!"

Sikong Sheng frowned, took the message and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened.

Just now they said with certainty that Lu Qian had been killed by the heavenly calamity, and Qiming Lingjun had suddenly entered the Mianlong Mountain. Now they say that Lu Qian suddenly appeared, and the golden elixirs of the three factions’ alliance are fighting fiercely with Qiming Lingjun?
What kind of idiots are our own spies? !

He was about to yell at him, but Sikong Heng behind him was slightly startled, then his eyebrows lit up with joy: "Great, great, God bless you, it's best that that little bastard Lu Qian is alive! Now I can twist his dog head off with my own hands!"

"Don't worry, Third Grandpa. I will kill him like slaughtering a pig or a dog. I will definitely let you vent your anger!"

Sikong Sheng's expression eased slightly, and he nodded. Suddenly, the golden elixir in charge of the communication flashed with light, and another message came. He took it out and looked at it, and suddenly froze in place, dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost.

Sikong Sheng became impatient and grabbed the information, his eyes suddenly widened.

Seeing his expression, Sikong Heng couldn't help but stretch his head to take a look. In an instant, his body shook violently and his face turned from red to white, and then from white to green.

"Qiming Lingjun has been surrounded and killed by Lu Qian and others!"

Above Wanling County, Taoist Xichan cried out in surprise and joy, and couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration.

"Lu Qian, this little thief, really didn't disappoint me!"

Master Youde had a solemn expression on his face, his eyes slightly narrowed, and many thoughts surged into his mind.

Not only did Lu Qian not die, but after achieving the Golden Core, he had extraordinary means, and he actually managed to kill the Yuanying Lingjun! Add to that the promising Tianlinggen Wu Yan, and Gu Nishang and Yu Jiao, two Golden Cores, and the Yunshan Sect has already formed a momentum to soar to the sky!
How should the Spirit Beast Sect treat the Yunshan Sect in the future?

While he was thinking, Yuanxu Lingjun had already opened his eyes, and his tone became agitated and no longer calm.

"Tell me, how did Lu Qian and his men kill Qiming Lingjun?"

All the Golden Cores of the Spiritual Beast Sect were extremely shocked and started talking about it. They said all kinds of things. They even seriously speculated that Qiming Lingjun had a sudden illness and was taken advantage of by the people of Yunshan.

It was Master Youde who interrupted these unreliable speculations.

"Why are you so surprised, fellow disciples? Is it a shocking thing that Jindan surrounded and killed Yuanying?"

"My Spirit Beast Sect was established more than 1,800 years ago. Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's just talk about the war between the two states more than 180 years ago. Have you forgotten the battle of Silent Valley that my sect led? In that battle, the one who was surrounded and killed by 18 Jindan masters was a late Nascent Soul master from Qingzhou!"

"Counting on my fingers, among the four sects in Cangzhou, except for the Sikong family who didn't find an opportunity, which one has not had a record of Jindan besieging and killing Yuanying in history?"

"The intelligence on the current battle at Mianlong Mountain is clear. Qiming Lingjun came from a remote island. He doesn't have any powerful inheritance or rich background. Moreover, he is a newly promoted Nascent Soul. It is unknown whether he has cultivated his second magical power."

"This time, the ones besieging him are also the late Jindan master Cang Feng, who is very ruthless, and Tieyuan Ye Xiao, who is always as brave as a man. With the combined strength of these three sects, it is not surprising that they can kill Qiming Lingjun."

These words boosted their morale and everyone nodded.

Master Youde changed the subject again.

"But then again, the Yunshan Sect led this battle and was able to surround and kill Qiming Lingjun, which shows that they should not be underestimated. Currently, they have four Jindan masters in their own sect, Lu Qian, Wu Yan, Gu Nishang, and Yu Jiao. They also have the Yunshan battle formation that has been passed down, and the Immortal Dragon Slaying Diagram obtained from the Xuanguang Sect. The spies also mentioned a kind of puppet Taoist soldier in the form of a giant snake."

"In terms of high-level combat power, it is already very impressive among the Jindan sects."

"Plus, Lu Qian was swallowed by the thunder in public, but he reappeared miraculously and displayed extremely powerful skills. Could his resurrection be related to his magical powers? How powerful are his magical powers? These are completely unclear with just a few spies, and further investigation is needed."

"But no matter what, the rise of Yunshan Sect is already in sight. This fully proves that the efforts we put into them are worthwhile, and we should go a step further and tie Lu Qian and his Yunshan Sect, and even expand it to the three-faction alliance, firmly to our chariot." "In this way, we will have a strong helper, and it will be just a matter of time before we can suppress the Sikong family and Qinglian Zhenzong."

Yuanxu Lingjun nodded and said, "You are right. Yunshan Sect gained two more Jindan overnight and killed Yuanying Lingjun. It can be said that they have been reborn. The improvement of strength will naturally bring about the growth of status. How do you think we can keep Yunshan Sect firmly around us?"

The folding fan in Master Youde's hand opened with a swish sound, and a strange beast with a tiger head, red hair and horns, a dragon body covered with armor and a short body slowly raised its head in the fan.

"Nothing else, just use your power to intimidate them, use your virtue to convince them, use your benefits to make friends with them, that's all."

Yuanxu Lingjun's face became even redder, and he praised: "Well, you are worthy of being the head of my sect. You still need to learn this calm and meticulous skill of cultivating qi for a hundred years."

Everyone immediately complimented him, except for Taoist Xichan, who yawned, smacked his lips, and looked drowsy.

Yuanxu Lingjun ignored him and led the crowd towards the mountain gate.

"Youde, please make some arrangements. I will personally go to Mianlong Mountain to congratulate you and show my goodwill."

Inside the main hall of the Xuanwei Sect's mountain gate, the debate over whether to rescue the Yunshan Sect and whether to stop Qiming Lingjun was still going on.

One side believed that this was all caused by the Yunshan Sect. Gu Nishang's identity was difficult to determine. She was originally from the Danxia Sect of Ningzhou. It was natural for the Ningzhou forces to come after her. If it were their own side, they would also go deep into other states to pursue the enemy. This was understandable.

The Xuanwei faction represents Cangzhou and should try its best to maintain peace with Ningzhou as long as its old enemy in Qingzhou has not been defeated. The chaos of the Yunshan faction was caused by themselves, so they should be allowed to resolve it themselves.

Especially after the arrival of the envoys from the Sikong family and the Qinglian Zhenzong, the voice of this side became even louder.

The other side believes that no matter what, Yunshan Sect is a sect in Cangzhou, under the Xuanwei Sect, and even if there are any mistakes, we should judge them by ourselves and not allow outsiders to enter, otherwise we will lose the support of the people and lose our dignity. We should stop Qiming Lingjun now, and discuss Gu Nishang's matter later.

The two sides argued endlessly. Miaomiao Xuanjun prided himself on being a wise leader who would never do anything based on partiality. He was best at listening to good advice and accepting criticism. But now he was undecided and in a difficult situation.

As far as he was concerned, he actually appreciated the second party's opinion, but the Sikong family and the Qinglian Zhenzong both clearly expressed their support for the first party, which forced him to think more.

Miaomiao Xuanjun naturally knew that the Sikong family was eager for the Yunshan Sect to be destroyed, but the Sikong family's envoy had already hinted that the family would make more efforts in the future to prosper the state and strengthen the state. This made him hesitate.

Is it worth it to make the Sikong family and the Qinglian Zhenzong unhappy for the sake of a small Yunshan?
So, amidst the debate, information was delivered one by one, and the scene gradually became quiet.

Lu Qian is not dead? Very good, this boy is really capable. It seems that they may be able to repel Qiming Lingjun on their own. I will comfort them more afterwards.

what? !

"Qiming Lingjun was executed!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall; one could hear a pin drop.

The cultivator from the second party took the opportunity to speak up: "Ha, you still want to let the Yuanying from other states disrupt our state's sect? What's going on now? Qiming Lingjun died in Mianlong Mountain!"

"The fighting power of the Yunshan Sect and the Three Sects Alliance is truly amazing. They will surely become the backbone of our state. We should try our best to attract and cultivate such sects. It's a pity that such a good opportunity to show kindness was wasted by short-sighted people like you."

The monks from the first party had ashen faces and could not say a word.

Miaomiao Xuanjun sighed with some regret: "You are right, Yunshan Sect is indeed a rising star. They are guarding the northwest, and perhaps they can charge into battle for our state and wipe out the scoundrels in Qingzhou in the future."

After a pause, he continued, "Now that things have come to this, send an envoy to congratulate Lu Qian on his attainment of the Golden Elixir. Yunshan Sect has added two new Golden Elixir True Immortals. And by the way, comfort and praise them."

At this moment, the sky was already turning pale and a ray of dawn had already appeared.

Lu Qian repeatedly thanked Master Zang Feng and Ye Xiao for their help and said he would definitely prepare generous gifts in return.

As for Master Zang Feng and Ye Xiao, they just pretended that there had not been so many tricks before, and thanked him politely, saying that the three factions were as close as a family, and it was natural for them to help each other.

Ye Xiao was even more enthusiastic, with curved eyebrows and a twinkling look in his eyes: "Master Lu Lu has been training my little disciple Jia Luo on my behalf. This friendship is extraordinary. Our two families should be closer. Why should we be so formal?"

She did not use the fact that the Yunshan Sect helped the Huanggen Sect to gain territory and move into Junle County as an excuse, but instead talked about it in terms of private relationship. Lu Qian naturally understood this gesture of goodwill and felt a lot of emotion for a moment.

He bowed and invited the two masters to rest on Mianlong Mountain, but Master Cangfeng and Ye Xiao saw that Mianlong Mountain was in a mess and buildings had collapsed in large numbers, requiring major repairs, so they immediately declined. They both told Lu Qian to take care of it first, and to come and congratulate when Yunshan Sect sent out invitations to invite fellow Taoists to the Dancheng event.

But Lu Qian smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

Master Zang Feng and Ye Xiao's faces changed and they agreed.

Wu Yan had already hurriedly brought Gu Nishang back to the mountain for treatment. Not only Gu Nishang, but also Dong Chengjun and Yu Jiao were seriously injured. The eighteen foundation builders who formed the Immortal Slaying Dragon Diagram also had injuries of varying severity, and the most serious ones had fainted.

Fortunately, at that time, Qiming Lingjun only used a whip to break up the Dragon-Slaying Sword. He was busy rushing to capture Gu Nishang and had no time to pay attention to the small foundation-building warriors scattered in the mountains. Otherwise, if he had used a few more whips, most of these foundation-building feathered warriors would have been killed in the battle.

At present, Wu Yan has been promoted to the Golden Core stage, and her secret technique of healing with spiritual water has reached a higher level. With her and Jiang Qingfeng leading the doctors of the Yunshan School, I believe that after a period of recuperation, everyone will slowly recover.

At this moment, Master Zang Feng and Ye Xiao stood on both sides of Lu Qian. Several masters pushed aside the morning mist that was slowly rising from the mountains and descended towards Longshou Peak.

As soon as they stepped onto Longshou Peak, the thunderous cheers and shouts of Yunshan disciples shook the heaven and earth.

Slowly, the originally chaotic cheers merged into the same sentence.

"Congratulations to the master for achieving the Golden Elixir! Congratulations to the master for advancing to the level of a True Person!"

In the gradually rising morning glow, Lu Qian ignored the gazes of others and hugged Jiang Qingfeng who was coming towards him.

Gently wiping away the tears of joy and excitement from the corners of her eyes, Lu Qian smiled.

"Sister, I'm back."
