Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 862 Return to Qinghe and come to the door

On the east side of Qinghe County, in the "Yunwu Mountain".

After a white light passed through several mountain peaks, its speed gradually slowed down. Soon, a white flying boat appeared in the white light.

Seeing the familiar mountains and rivers below the "Phantom Boat", Song Qingming, who was standing on the flying boat, slowly smiled.

"I didn't expect this trip would take so long, but now I've finally come back successfully!"

Almost ten years have passed since he left the family to help Song Qingyu and Senior Sister Li Xuanyi explore the secret realm, and now he has returned after forming his Nascent Soul.

When Song Qingming first left his family to go to the East China Sea, he was just going there to help as agreed, and he had no idea what would happen later.

He never expected that he would be able to break through to the "Nascent Soul Realm" during his retreat in the East China Sea.

At this moment, returning to the familiar "Qinghe County" again, Song Qingming, who had experienced a life-and-death test, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Hearing Song Qingming's words, Li Xuanyi, who was standing beside him, quickly replied:
"Junior Brother Song's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage is a great event that no one expected. I guess they have already prepared a banquet at home, waiting for you, the great clan leader, to return."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingming immediately shook his head and said with a smile:
"Haha! I have already told Qingyu not to tell anyone about my Nascent Soul formation. Other people in the family probably don't know about my Nascent Soul breakthrough yet.

I've been away for so long, I don't know how things are going at home now, has Qinghe County been peaceful in recent years?"

"Don't worry, my husband. With Qingyu at home and the sect looking after us, nothing serious should happen.

If something big really happened, Qingyu would definitely send a message to inform us.

We will pass by Chiyanfang soon, why don't we go down and ask the family monks first, and take a rest before returning to the family."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's suggestion, Song Qingming immediately smiled and nodded slightly:
"This is so true!"

As he spoke, Song Qingming sped up the flying boat, changed direction and came directly to the "Chiyanfang" not far from them.

The flying boat had just landed outside the market town. The two Song family cultivators who were standing guard at the door saw three familiar-looking people approaching from afar, and confusion immediately arose in their minds.

"Why do these two look so similar to our family's ancestors? Could it be that the two ancestors have really come out of seclusion?

Normally, the ancestors don't come here for several years. What day is it today? Why are they all here?"

Not long ago today, they had just seen the family ancestor Song Qingyu coming to the market. They never expected that less than half a day later, they saw the remaining two Jindan ancestors of the family coming.

After confirming that the people who came were indeed Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, several monks guarding the city were surprised. They hurriedly informed the family foundation-building elders who were guarding the market town of the news, and took the initiative to step forward and bowed.

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

After taking a quick glance at the law enforcement monk in front of him, Song Qingming quickly waved his hand and asked, "Who is on duty in the market recently?"

"Reporting to the ancestor! The two elders Xuanyu and Xuanying have been guarding the market for the past three years. I have just sent someone to inform them."

Song Qingming nodded slightly when he heard that, and immediately pointed forward.

"Lead the way!"

Not long after Song Qingming, Huang Siyuan and others followed the Song family cultivators into the "Chiyanfang", Song Qingming suddenly felt a strange sound behind him, causing him to stop in his tracks instantly.

"Boy! There seem to be two people chasing us from the north. Their cultivation should be no lower than the late Jindan realm, and they seem to have bad intentions. I wonder if they are coming for you?"

Hearing a familiar voice coming into his ears, Song Qingming's expression was slightly startled, but then quickly returned to normal, and he quietly sent a message back to Qu Bai behind him.

"Oh! Senior, you are not being too cautious!
This place is the territory of our Song family. After years of careful management by me, the surrounding area has always been relatively peaceful.

Besides, I have just returned to Floating Cloud Mountains, and even my family members don’t know about it yet. How could someone come here to cause trouble for me by chance?

Could it be that Qingyu is coming, or someone just happened to pass by here."

When entering the market town before, Song Qingming had already heard the gatekeeper monk say that Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan had just visited "Chiyan Market" not long ago.

When he heard what Qu Bai said, he thought they had come back again, and immediately replied.

Hearing Song Qingming's confident answer, Qu Bai simply chuckled and said, "I'm just guessing and reminding you.

Since you think he is not an enemy, then he is not an enemy."

As soon as Qu Bai finished speaking, before Song Qingming could reply, he suddenly felt two powerful pressures coming from high above the city, causing him to stop walking again.

"Could it be that he really came for me?"

Song Qingming's cultivation has now broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and his spiritual awareness is naturally much stronger than before.

Although the person from outside had not yet approached the market, his spiritual sense had already sensed that he was heading for the "Chiyan Market".

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Song Qingming suddenly stop, Huang Siyuan on the side immediately showed a strange look on her face and asked with some confusion.

"It seems that there are Jindan cultivators coming here."

"Oh! It's Qingyu who's here. Can I go out and take a look first?"

Hearing what Song Qingming said, Huang Siyuan's lips suddenly showed a smile, and then she flashed to the outside of the "Mountain Protection Formation" in the market town.

Huang Siyuan had just emerged from the market town not long ago when two black lights appeared in front of her from a distance, transforming into two men in black with their faces covered.

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

The person who appeared in front of him was not Song Qingyu as he thought, but two unfamiliar men in black.

Huang Siyuan's face suddenly changed, and she quickly asked the other party with a wary look.

When the two black monks heard Huang Siyuan's question, they ignored her and took out a wooden sign and asked directly:

"Is Song Qingming hiding here?"

Hearing the other party's disdainful question, Huang Siyuan's face suddenly showed a trace of displeasure, and frowned slightly:
"Who are you and why are you looking for my husband?"

"Humph! It doesn't matter if he doesn't answer. Since the token shows that he is here, it should be correct!

Today we are here to find Song Qingming. If you know what’s good for you, get out of my way.

Otherwise, it will be too late to leave later!"

After the black-clothed man finished speaking, he stepped forward, waved his hand, and released a cloud of black mist, ready to attack the "Chiyanfang" mountain protection formation in front of him.

Seeing that the other party did not take him seriously at all and was about to attack the formation in front of him, Huang Siyuan's face suddenly changed, and he used both hands to quickly cast a spell and released his own life-saving magic weapon, the "Purple Gold Seal".

"You don't know what's good for you! I'll start with you."

After seeing Huang Siyuan release her life-saving magic weapon, the "Purple Gold Seal", she was about to step forward to stop her companions from casting spells.

The other "masked man" snorted coldly, then immediately waved his hand and cast a spell to release a cloud of black smoke.

The next moment, a "blood corpse puppet" covered in a black robe appeared in the air and took the initiative to stop Huang Siyuan.

"Blood Corpse Puppet, are you demon cultivators?"

Seeing the terrifying aura emanating from the black-robed figure blocking her way, Huang Siyuan quickly recognized the other party's identity and couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on her face.

Previously, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu had killed Ma Wuchen in Song State. At first, Song Qingming did not tell Huang Siyuan about this matter because he was afraid that she would worry.

It was not until later, before Song Qingming left his family and prepared to go to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World", that he told Huang Siyuan the whole story because he was worried that some evil cultivators would find the area after he left.

When Huang Siyuan saw the "blood corpse puppet" summoned by the other party at this moment, she immediately recognized their identities and couldn't help but feel surprised.

I really didn't expect that such a powerful demon cultivator would appear so close to my family.

Just when Huang Siyuan was blocked by the "blood corpse puppet" in the late Jindan stage, the "masked black-robed monk" had turned into a black shadow and came to her side.

Seeing that she was about to be surrounded from front and back, Huang Siyuan quickly cast a spell and threw out a third-level talisman to stop the other party, and immediately dodged to the side.

However, the "masked black-robed monk" obviously did not want to let her go so easily. He spit out a large cloud of black mist from his mouth again, blocking Huang Siyuan's retreat.

Huang Siyuan’s cultivation level was only the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, while the “masked black-robed monk” she was facing was actually an eighth level Golden Core Realm cultivator.

With the help of a powerful "Blood Corpse Puppet" in the late Jindan stage, Huang Siyuan was defeated in a short time and trapped in a black fog.

The battle had just begun here when another black-robed monk, with a black light in his hand, fell towards the "market formation" below.

The quality of the mountain protection formation of "Chiyanfang" is not high, only at the upper level of level two.

At this moment, facing the black-robed monk in front of him whose cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Golden Core, the other party just made a casual attack, and immediately the "Mountain Protection Array" below and even the entire market town trembled violently.

"It's a Jindan cultivator!"

After Huang Siyuan fought with the "masked black-robed monk" outside, many monks guarding in the market town soon discovered the battle between the Jindan monks outside.

However, before they could figure out what was happening outside, another black-robed monk attacked them from the sky, causing them to stagger.

Many Qi Refining cultivators with low cultivation bases even have trouble keeping their feet steady.

The market town was suddenly in chaos.

At this time, the black-robed monk above saw that the "Mountain Protection Formation" below had already become weak and fragile.

It seemed as if it would collapse in the next moment, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

Just as the black-robed monk gathered the black spiritual light in his hand and prepared to give the "mountain protection formation" below a fatal blow, a green light suddenly shot out from the chaotic crowd in the market. A moment later, the green light quickly passed through the "mountain protection formation" and arrived in front of the black-robed man.

"Song Qingming!"

"Haha. After hiding outside for so many years, we finally get to see you."

Seeing Song Qingming suddenly appear in front of him, the man in black immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, as if he had seen some exquisite treasure.

Even the other "masked black monk" who was fighting with Huang Siyuan no longer cared about his opponent who was entangled in the black fog. He flashed to his companion's side and asked with concern:
"Brother, are you sure it's this guy?"

"Master's token is right here. There is no doubt about it. He is Song Qingming."

"Haha. We finally found him. It's worth our wait."

".."

"Hey, you two, what do you want from me? Why didn't you tell me? Isn't it too early to be happy?"

Seeing these two people staring at him with joy and talking nonstop, Song Qingming, who was standing in front of them, suddenly interrupted them impatiently.

Hearing this, the black-robed monk with a higher level of cultivation turned around and immediately said:

"Song Qingming, you should know my senior brother Ma Wuchen!"

"Are you from the Blood Spirit Sect?"

Hearing the other party mention Ma Wuchen, Song Qingming immediately guessed their identities and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

After killing Ma Wuchen, because the "Blood Demon Ancestor" had planted a restriction on him, the other party seemed to see his face clearly.

Unexpectedly, decades later, people from the "Blood Spirit Sect" really came to the door.

Seeing that Song Qingming had revealed his origins in one sentence, the black-robed monk immediately said with a proud look on his face:

"We came to you today to take something from you. Since you already know who we are, please hand over the Tongtian Order!
Master asked you to take this item back with you. If you hand it over honestly, we can consider not making things difficult for you regarding Senior Brother Ma's matter. You only need to compensate our sect with a spiritual item."

After the black-robed monk finished speaking, he looked at Song Qingming with a provocative look.

However, after hearing the words of the black-robed monk in front of him, Song Qingming's originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed, and then he replied calmly:

"I don't understand what you two are saying at all.

You, the Blood Spirit Sect, are nothing but the scum of the demonic sect. You have so blatantly come to our Weiguo territory to cause trouble. You are showing too much disrespect for our Xiaoyao Sect!
Since you two are here today, as a righteous cultivator, I will do my best to eliminate the devil and defend the way. I think you don't need to say any more nonsense."

"Humph! How shameless!

You people in the Song family are all the same. You all don't know what's good for you. All our efforts have been in vain.

You still want to fight against evil and defend the Way, but you don't really think you can escape from us today!"

"Haha! Senior Brother, this guy is at least a late Jindan cultivator, so don't underestimate him.

This kind of person cannot be dismissed with just a few words. If you want him to obey you, it is better to be direct and don't always think about being lazy.

When we catch him later, let me extract his soul and refine his spirit, so I won’t be afraid of not being able to find that thing.”

After the "masked man in black" finished speaking, the magic power in his hand moved quickly, and two "blood corpse puppets" in the late Jindan stage instantly appeared beside him.

The other black-robed monk had already taken out a blood-red jade plate with an aura that was compelling.

As soon as this red jade plate appeared, it emanated a very terrifying and powerful pressure. It was obviously not an ordinary monster.

"Boy, this is the Blood Spirit Bones Plate that I specially requested from my master.

I have lost count of how many Jindan monks have died from this magical weapon.

It is your honor to see this magic weapon of your master."

After the black-robed monk finished speaking, he suddenly started chanting a spell with great vigour, and soon a large ball of blood light appeared out of thin air above the "red jade plate".

The blood light had just appeared for a short while when it changed again and turned into an extremely terrifying "blood-red skeleton" that was more than ten feet tall.

The next moment, the huge "blood skeleton" suddenly grabbed a "blood corpse puppet" not far away from it and swallowed it directly into its stomach.

After swallowing this "blood corpse puppet", a lot of flesh and blood suddenly grew out of thin air on the "blood skeleton" and its aura rapidly increased, reaching the half-step Nascent Soul realm, which was far beyond the Jindan cultivator.

However, when Song Qingming, who was not far away, saw this scene, his eyes moved slightly, but there was still not much change on his face.

"I never thought you had a fourth-level magic weapon in your hands. I really underestimated you."

"Haha! Now you know how powerful I am, kid.

But now that we have wasted a blood corpse, it is too late for you to regret it."

After the black-robed monk finished speaking, he suddenly began to cast a spell with one hand. The next moment, the "bloody skeleton" turned into a beam of blood light and quickly flew towards where Song Qingming was.

Looking at Song Qingming who was still standing there not far away, the two "Blood Spirit Sect" monks already had smiles on their faces.

In their eyes, Song Qingming could not be a match for this "bloody skeleton" and would definitely have to flee next.

At this time, the two of them were staring at each other closely. No matter where Song Qingming fled, he would not have the chance to escape from the joint efforts of them and the "Bloody Skull".

However, when the blood light came in front of Song Qingming, the man in green with an ordinary appearance did not start to run away as they expected, but waved his hand and took out a red flying sword magic weapon.

The next moment, a red sword light suddenly flashed by, and one of the arms of the huge "blood skeleton" was cut off by the sword light, and it flew back directly.

"What's going on?"

He saw that the "bloody skeleton" he had just summoned through spell, whose strength had reached the half-step Nascent Soul stage, was knocked away by a sword from Song Qingming in front of him.

The two "Blood Spirit Sect" monks, who felt that there was something wrong with the other party's aura, suddenly widened their eyes and expressions of extreme shock appeared on their faces.

At this time, Song Qingming, who was holding the "Lihuo Chixin Sword", was still standing in the same place, but the aura emanating from his body had suddenly risen to the Nascent Soul realm.

"How is that possible? You are a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Song Qingming, which was only possessed by a Nascent Soul cultivator, the leading black-robed cultivator still had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

The two of them had already known each other's information before. When Song Qingming killed Ma Wuchen, his cultivation was only at the eighth level of Golden Core.

Only a short period of more than thirty years had passed, and the other party had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. This was indeed beyond their imagination.

"Could it be that he hasn't shown up for so many years and is really out in seclusion to form a baby?"

At this moment, the black-robed monk finally figured out the problem that he had been unable to understand before, and a horrified look appeared on his face.

At this point, the two black-robed monks no longer looked at Song Qingming with contempt in their eyes, but instead revealed a bit of fear.

"withdraw!"

After knowing that the person in front of him was a Nascent Soul cultivator, the black-robed cultivator had already lost any fighting spirit in his heart. After spitting out a word to his companion, he immediately turned around and fled away.

At the same time, another "masked man in black" also turned into a puff of black smoke and followed him, and the two began to escape for their lives.

"Since you two have come to see me, why are you in such a hurry to leave if you haven't finished your business yet?"

Just as they started to escape, Song Qingming, who was not far away, chuckled and disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, a green light flashed, and Song Qingming's figure had already arrived in front of the man in black in front. He waved his hand directly at the two of them and released a red sword light.

Seeing Song Qingming moving so fast, the man in black was suddenly surprised and quickly cast a spell to control the "bloody skeleton" beside him to move forward to resist.

However, this "bloody skeleton" which was already a broken body was completely vulnerable in front of Song Qingming.

With just two flashes of sword light, the "bloody skull" was cut into several pieces by Song Qingming.

At the same time, a crack appeared on the red jade plate in the black-robed monk's hand with a "bang".

After the magic weapon in his hand was destroyed by the other party, the man in black no longer had any means to reach Song Qingming.

Faced with the sword light coming towards him by Song Qingming, he could only cast a spell to summon a black defensive magic weapon to protect himself.

But this level of defense was like paper in front of Song Qingming and was easily destroyed by the "Lihuo Red Heart Sword".

The next moment, this magic weapon along with the black-clothed monk's body was cut in half by Song Qingming's sword.

After killing the black-robed monk, Song Qingming had another golden talisman in his hand, and then he cast a spell to cover the other's body with it.

As a golden light covered the area, the black-clothed monk's soul had no chance to escape before Song Qingming sealed it in the talisman.

After dealing with this man, Song Qingming stepped on the flying boat again and performed the "Nine Palace Meteor Escape" to chase after the other "masked man in black".

Although this demon cultivator's cultivation level is lower than that of the black-clothed man in front of him, he has many more means of life-saving.

Not only does he have a magical power similar to "Blood Shadow Escape" that uses his own blood essence to increase his escape speed, he has also learned a method of using a substitute to rely on the "blood corpse puppet" on his body to withstand damage.

However, under the absolute suppression of Song Qingming's cultivation strength, the opponent's life-saving ability could only delay the time of his death.

Not long after, as Song Qingming cast a spell to seal this man's soul, the bodies of the two demon cultivators soon caught fire, slowly turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.

(Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, Xiao Meng wishes everyone a happy new year in advance!)
