Soon after, the banquet ended and Jiang Qiong prepared to go to the ancestral home.

Liu Yun stood up, his face showing a hint of seriousness: "Senior, please follow me, the ancestral home is not far from here."

Jiang Qiong nodded, feeling satisfied with the Liu family's arrangement, and then followed the Liu family monks out of the banquet hall and into the night.

The moonlight shines on the bluestone path, making it seem particularly peaceful.

Walking on the road, Jiang Qiong looked around carefully. The Liu family's manor was indeed magnificent, with tall and straight trees around it, and lush branches and leaves.

The flowers and plants on both sides of the path swayed gently in the moonlight, emitting a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.

"Senior, look at this sea of ​​flowers." Liu Wan pointed to a field of blooming flowers next to her with a proud smile on her face.

"This is a magical flower that our family specially planted. Every time the flower season comes, the whole manor is filled with the fragrance of the flower."

Jiang Qiong smiled slightly, secretly admiring in his heart. He continued forward and walked across a small bridge. The stream under the bridge was gurgling, reflecting the moonlight, like a silver ribbon, flowing with the tranquility of time.

Soon after, everyone arrived at the ancestral home. The ancient building looked particularly solemn under the moonlight, with carved beams and painted rafters, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

Liu Yun took Jiang Qiong to the front door of the ancestral home and said softly:
"Senior, this is our family's ancestral home, which contains countless secrets and inheritances."

After saying that, Liu Yun gently pushed open the door. With a creak, the door slowly opened, revealing a spacious courtyard with towering ancient trees, lush flowers and plants, like a paradise.

"Please go to the entrance of the secret room." Liu Yun guided Jiang Qiong and continued to move forward.

After passing through quiet corridors, everyone finally arrived at the door of the secret room.

The door was covered with ancient runes, emitting a faint glow, as if guarding the secrets inside.

Come to the secret room.

The head of the Liu family did not hesitate at all. He quickly took out several ancient keys and inserted them directly into the door lock.

With a "click", the door of the secret room slowly opened, and the light inside shone out.

"Senior, the secret room is inside." Liu Wan said slowly.
Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy and consciousness in his body started to circulate at the same time, and he slowly walked into the secret room.

The moment he stepped into the secret room, Jiang Yan was shocked by the scene before him.

The interior of the secret room is spacious, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with glittering spiritual stones, emitting a soft light that illuminates the entire room.

The walls are covered with ancient scrolls and family portraits, recording the Liu family's glory and honor over the past hundreds of years.

Each painting seemed to be telling a touching story. Jiang Qiong couldn't help but stop and take a closer look to see if it was related to Bai Yao.

"Senior, this is the place where our family is inherited." Liu Yun explained softly, with a look of pride in his eyes.

Jiang Qiong nodded and continued walking forward, and found that the internal structure of the secret room was as complicated as a maze.

The passage twists and turns and seems to have no end.

He activated his spiritual sense, sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, and carefully led the cultivators of the Liu family deeper into it.

As he was walking, Jiang Qiong suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

The passage ahead seemed a little strange, and there was a sense of uneasiness in the air.

He signaled everyone to stop, used his spiritual sense, and carefully investigated the movements ahead.

"Senior, what's wrong?" Liu Wan asked in a low voice from behind, with a hint of nervousness on her face.

"There is movement ahead." Jiang Qiong said in a low voice. Just as he finished speaking, the sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded in the dim passage.

Then, a group of bloodthirsty bats rushed out from the darkness like a gust of wind and swooped down.

"Quick, retreat!" Jiang Qiong shouted, and instantly mobilized his spiritual power, ready to fight back.

The bats screamed shrilly, and the sky was covered with black crows.

There was a fierce red light flashing in their eyes, as if they were staring at their prey.

The cultivators of the Liu family looked at each other in dismay, expressions of horror evident in their expressions.

Through spiritual exploration, it was found that this group of bats were not simple. They were all first-level monsters, including second-level bat kings.

If you go head-on with a bat like this, the outcome will be miserable.

Of course, in front of Jiang Qiong, these bats are still not good enough.

"Senior, what should we do?" Liu Yun asked hurriedly, the magic weapon in his hand trembling slightly.

"Don't panic, follow me!" Jiang Qiong said calmly, thinking secretly in his heart.

Although there are many bats, this crisis can still be resolved if the timing is right.

As his thoughts raced, he quickly mobilized his spiritual power and formed seals with his hands. Suddenly, a powerful spiritual energy surged out of his body and transformed into a protective shield that enveloped everyone.

The bats seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and couldn't get close.

"Follow me!" Jiang Qiong commanded loudly, and the spiritual power in his hand condensed into a beam of light, which shot towards the flying bats, instantly shooting down several bats. Blood splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent fishy smell.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators of the Liu family took action one after another, began to use magic to launch a counterattack against the group of bats.

Spiritual power intertwined, light flashed, and the secret room suddenly turned into a battlefield.

In an instant, the bats were beaten back step by step, but they did not seem to give up. Instead, they rushed forward more frantically.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, knowing that if these bats were not dealt with quickly, it would probably bring more trouble.

"We need to find an exit!" Jiang Qiong shouted loudly, leading everyone to run towards the depths of the secret room.

His spiritual consciousness continued to explore, searching for a safe passage.

After a while, Jiang Qiong finally found a secret exit in a narrow passage.

"Go northwest!" Jiang Qiong pointed to the exit.

Everyone followed closely behind him, running desperately towards the exit, the bats behind them still chasing them, their sharp cries echoing in the secret room.

Jiang Qiong was anxious, so he used his spiritual power to repel the last wave of bats to ensure that everyone could escape safely.

In the face of powerful strength.

Everyone escaped unharmed and rushed out of the narrow passage and came to a spacious hall.

In the center of the hall is a huge altar, on which stands an ancient stele shining with mysterious light. It is surrounded by various spiritual tools and props, which seems to be the core of the family heritage.

"This is the family altar!" Liu Yun exclaimed, with reverence flashing in his eyes.

"Protect the altar!" Jiang Qiong gave orders loudly and quickly began to set up the formation.

The cultivators of the Liu family also took action and tried their best to assist Jiang Qiong.

As the formation gradually took shape, the entire altar began to flash with dazzling light, and the surrounding spiritual energy also gathered to form a powerful barrier.

Seeing this, the bats seemed to feel threatened and retreated, but it was too late.

"Kill!" Jiang Qiong gave an order, and the formation was activated instantly. Powerful spiritual power rushed into the sky and turned into a whirlwind, sweeping up all the bats and swallowing them instantly.

A sharp scream sounded, and the bats disappeared under the power of the formation, and the secret room suddenly returned to peace. "As expected of a senior in the Golden Core Realm, your methods are really powerful!" Liu Wan cheered excitedly, and the tension on her face was swept away.

Jiang Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and looked at the ancient monument, thinking to himself: "Next, it's time to uncover the relationship between the Liu family and Bai Yao."

As he spoke, Jiang Qiong's gaze slowly turned to the ancient stele on the altar.

He was still feeling the lingering fear from the battle just now.

But he knew that the ancient monument before him might reveal the secret between the Liu family and Bai Yao.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, mobilized his spiritual power, and prepared to awaken the power of the altar.

As the seals in Jiang Qiong's hands changed, the light of the altar became brighter and brighter, and the runes on the ancient stele began to flicker, as if some mysterious power was awakening.

Jiang Qiong felt a strong wave of spiritual energy surging out from the altar.

As spiritual energy gathered, the air in the secret room became extremely hot, and the spiritual tools and props around it began to emit faint light.

"Come here, everyone, circulate spiritual energy together and inject it into the altar!"

Jiang Qiong loudly reminded the Liu family cultivators around him.

They also used their spiritual power to assist Jiang Qiong in activating the altar.

At this moment, the light from the altar flashed suddenly, and the entire secret room was instantly illuminated, as if being in a glorious world.

The next moment, an illusory figure emerged in the light, it was Bai Yao.

Her figure was as light as smoke, her face was pretty, and she emanated a faint aura, as if she had merged with the power of the altar.

Jiang Qiong's heart was shocked. She didn't expect Bai Yao to appear at this time.

"You are finally here." Bai Yao's voice was like a gentle breeze blowing on my face, and she said with a smile: "The Liu family really did not disappoint me."

Bai Yao, who suddenly appeared, looked like an illusion.

She seemed not to have seen Jiang Qiong, and her eyes went straight to the cultivator from the Liu family, as if she was acting on instinct.

"Senior Bai Yao!" Liu Yun shouted excitedly, with reverence shining in his eyes.

The other cultivators from the Liu family also knelt down and saluted Bai Yao respectfully.

"Get up." Bai Yao smiled slightly, and her eyes gently swept over everyone, finally landing on the head of the Liu family, and slowly said: "Head of the Liu family, thank you for protecting the Liu family."

"Senior, why are you here?" Liu Yun couldn't help but ask.

Bai Yao turned his gaze to the altar and said softly, "This is the altar I left behind. It contains the inheritance and secrets of the Liu family. Now that the altar has awakened, I will give you a new mission."

After saying that, Bai Yao took out a token as white as jade from her arms, which shone with light as clear as moonlight.

She handed the token to Liu Yun, and said slowly with a firm look in her eyes: "This is the token I prepared for the Liu family. With this, you can go to Qingyun Sect to seek my help."

Liu Yun took the token, his heart filled with excitement and anxiety, and said with a smile: "Senior, Qingyun Sect is a holy place in the world of cultivation, how can we meet you?"

"Just take this token and go to Altar No. 3 of Qingyun Sect, and you will be able to communicate with me."

Bai Yao's voice was still gentle, but with a hint of majesty, and she said seriously: "Remember, the Liu family carries my unfinished mission. You must be firm in your beliefs and move forward courageously."

"We will definitely complete the instructions of our predecessors!"

Liu Yun nodded firmly, and the other cultivators echoed him.

Jiang Qiong watched silently from the side, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Bai Yao's appearance is by no means accidental. The connection between the Liu family and Qingyun Sect is an important clue.

After the conversation, Bai Yao nodded with satisfaction. Her figure gradually faded away and finally turned into a ray of light, merging into the altar. The light of the altar also slowly dimmed.

"Senior!" Liu Yun shouted, his eyes full of reluctance.

Jiang Qiong stood quietly in front of the altar with a calm expression.

"Please give me Bai Yao's token." Jiang Qiong looked at the cultivator from the Liu family and said lightly.

The cultivator from the Liu family did not dare to refuse and handed the token to Jiang Qiong without hesitation.

After receiving the token, Jiang Qiong turned to face the cultivators of the Liu family and said in a steady tone: "I will go to Qingyun Sect as soon as possible. If you dare to reveal my whereabouts, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

Everyone nodded, and Liu Yun quickly said, "Senior, you must be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong turned and walked towards the exit of the secret room.

As Jiang Qiong left, the cultivators of the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still wary of Jiang Qiong's power.

They knew that Jiang Qiong's strength should not be underestimated. If he chose to attack the Liu family on a whim, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Fortunately, he didn't attack us." The head of the Liu family said softly, with a trace of panic in his eyes, and slowly said: "If he really wanted to deal with us, I'm afraid the entire Liu family would not be able to resist."

"Yes, he is really too strong." Liu Yun also echoed, secretly feeling lucky, and slowly said: "Fortunately, he chose to leave."

"I hope he can reach Qingyun Sect safely and help us find Lord Baiyao." Another cultivator whispered, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

At the same time, Jiang Qiong had walked out of the Liu family's secret room and set out on the journey to Qingyun Sect.

"Qingyun Sect, here I come."

Jiang Qiong's mind was filled with thoughts, and he went straight to the teleportation array of the county town.

The teleportation array's light flickered, and the array's runes crisscrossed into complex patterns on the ground, emitting a powerful aura.

The monks around him felt the powerful aura emanating from him and looked at him sideways, secretly surprised.

In their eyes, Jiang Qiong's strength was already incredible, and there were only a handful of cultivators who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

They dared not say much, but just looked at him quietly.

A cultivator in the Golden Core Realm was approaching.

The monk in charge of the teleportation did not dare to delay and quickly took action to carry out the teleportation.

The next moment, the teleportation array began to operate, the light suddenly became brighter, and the air around it seemed to be torn apart, forming a series of channels of light and shadow.

Jiang Qiong felt a powerful force enveloping him and he was instantly caught in the light.

In this dazzling light and shadow, Jiang Qiong's consciousness seemed to be pulled, and he felt the intersection of time and space.

He closed his eyes and tried to keep his mind calm.

After a moment, the light gradually dissipated, and Jiang Qiong's footsteps touched solid ground again.

He opened his eyes and found himself in Qingyun County.

The air here is filled with spiritual energy, and the surrounding buildings are magnificent and simple, exuding a strong atmosphere of cultivation.

There was an endless stream of monks on the streets, and the aura they exuded was all majestic. (End of this chapter)
