Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 995: End it yourself, Tiandao Sect
The west side of the "Floating Cloud Mountains".

There are five or six small and medium-sized countries near the edge of the "Fantasy Sea Desert" in the west, and the "Changping Kingdom" with thousands of years of history is one of them.

Among the dozens of countries in the entire Floating Cloud Mountain Range's immortal cultivation world, "Changping State" is larger in area than Pei State in the south of Wei State.

However, nearly half of its territory is relatively barren Gobi desert. Therefore, in terms of the number of monks and mortals, the "Changping Kingdom" is far inferior to the Pei Kingdom near Taiyue Lake.

The immortal cultivation sect that governs this small country is called "Fire Sword Sect". There are only two Jindan ancestors in the sect. Its strength is also much weaker than that of the "Zhenyang Sect" of Pei State. It is just an ordinary Jindan force.

Outside a small market town to the west of Changping State, a dozen monks were queuing up to enter through the door.

Although this market town is close to the desert, many places around it are bare.

However, the number of cultivators coming and going nearby is no less than that in other inland markets. From time to time, sword lights fly in the air, heading straight for the "Fantasy Sea Desert" in the west.

As the crowd moved slowly, it was soon the turn of two monks, a man and a woman, to stand in front of the gatekeeper.

"Where are you from, monks? What brings you to Black Wind Square?"

"My junior sister and I are cultivators from Liang State in the north. We came to the market to buy some spiritual objects. We want to go to the western desert together to try our luck."

"Recently, the demon cultivators have started to cause trouble in the west. You have low cultivation bases, so you should be careful when you go out. It's best to go to the Demon Hunting Hall and find a few more people to accompany you."

Seeing the green-robed man in front of him skillfully take out two spirit stones and hand them to him, the monk guarding the city immediately smiled, and then carefully gave them some instructions.

Not long after, the man in green robe, who had registered his identity, walked into the market ahead with a woman in white behind him.

After entering the market, the two looked at the people coming in and out of the shops around them without stopping for a moment, and went straight to a pharmacy with a sign that read "Baicaotang".

The shop owner, who was busy greeting several customers in front of him, saw someone coming outside and waved to the guy working next to him.

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly put down the spiritual objects he was sorting and quickly came to the two men in green robes.

"My two guests, do you need to buy any spiritual items? Our store specializes in selling spiritual herbs and elixirs. As long as you tell me what you want to buy around here, I can definitely help you find it.

. "

After hearing the waiter's introduction, the man in green robe nodded slightly, glanced around the store again, and then slowly responded:
"I want some green sprout grass, more of it would be better!"

"Green sprout grass! This..."

The guy who had just been talking nonstop with a confident look on his face suddenly froze with a smile on his face after hearing the green-robed man casually mention a magical herb.

After standing there and thinking for a while, the guy bowed to the two of them and shook his head slightly:

"I'm really sorry, sir, I've never heard of the spiritual medicine you mentioned. Do you have any spiritual medicine that I can take a look at first?"

"Oh! Don't you have any Green Sprout Grass here?"

Hearing the waiter's answer, the man in green robe looked a little surprised, and then he spoke lightly:

"If you don't have any, forget it. We want to find some spiritual herbs and elixirs to feed the spiritual beasts. If you have any, just take them out and let us see them."

Just as the man in green robe finished his request, the shop owner standing at the back had just finished greeting the customers and walked towards them with a smile.

"Haha! I think the two guests are not monks from nearby!

Green Bud Grass generally grows near the Floating Cloud Mountains in the north. Our Black Wind Square is close to the Fantasy Sea Desert, and this kind of spiritual medicine is difficult to cultivate and is indeed very rare.

However, our store also has a kind of white silver flower, which has similar effects to the green bud herb, and can also be used to refine elixirs such as the Soul-Feeding Pills.

How about I ask my waiter to bring some over for you two to see?"

The shop owner's eyes were obviously more experienced. When he heard that the two people in front of him were looking for "Green Bud Grass" and elixirs for feeding spirit beasts, he instantly guessed that they were most likely here to refine "Spirit Feeding Pills".

Seeing this, the man in green robe showed a hint of surprise on his face and nodded quickly.

"Then I'll trouble you, shopkeeper!"

After a while, the shop assistant took out a small wooden box from the backstage, opened it and handed it to the few people.

Seeing the spiritual medicine that the waiter took out, the woman in white standing behind the man in green robe immediately stepped forward, picked up the spiritual medicine, and looked at it carefully in front of her.

After a moment, the woman in white found that there was nothing wrong with the elixir, so she smiled and nodded slightly to the shopkeeper.

"Boss, take out all the white silver flowers you have. I want them all. Please pack them up for me and count the spirit stones!"

"Haha! Sir, rest assured, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of our spiritual medicine. Please wait for a moment, I will have someone pack it for you right away!"

Seeing that the woman in white was so generous and wanted to purchase so many spiritual medicines at once, the shop owner immediately showed a look of joy and asked the clerk to help pack the spiritual medicines.

Just as the shop owner asked him to wait on the side, the man in green robe took out a white scroll from his hand.

"Boss, I have something else I want to ask you."

"Haha! Sir, please don't be polite. Just speak frankly if you have anything to say. I have been in Black Wind Square for quite a few years. If there is anything happening nearby, I should know something about it."

Following the shop owner's response, the man in green robe slowly opened the scroll in his hand, revealing a portrait of a young man in his twenties.

"This is a good friend of mine. He disappeared a few years ago for some unknown reason. I heard that someone saw him around here a year ago. Could you please help me see if anyone has seen him?"

"Oh, this one doesn't look familiar."

After taking a quick look at the portrait in front of him, the shop owner quickly shook his head at Song Qingming, and then explained softly:

“As you know, my shop is small but well-equipped, and there are many customers coming and going every day.

If you had come to my place within the past three or five days, you might have some impression of it. It's been over a year, so how can I still remember it? Please don't be offended."

"Hey! These spiritual herbs seem to be of poor quality. Please pick them out for me. The few here are not old enough, so I don't want them either."

The shopkeeper, who was talking to the man in green robe, suddenly heard the voice of the woman in white not far away. His face changed immediately and he stood up and explained:
"Sir, the age of the spiritual herbs here is only one year apart at most. I guarantee that it will not have any impact on the alchemy."

"What's the use of your promise? The year is just a little off. If it affects the success rate of alchemy, I guess you won't be able to explain it when the time comes!"

"Hey, sir..." Just as the shop owner wanted to step forward to continue explaining, an arm stretched out from the side to stop him. It was the man in green robe who always had a smile on his face.

"Siyuan! It's just that the year is a little bit off. I don't think it will have much impact. I think the shopkeeper is easy to talk to. Don't make a fuss about it. This will save us from having to run to other shops to look for elixirs."

"Yes! Sir, you are right. The quality of the spiritual medicine in our store is absolutely unmatched in the market. You two can rest assured.

By the way, regarding the portrait you just mentioned, I seem to have some impression of having seen this person several times.

I just can't be sure at the moment, so I feel a little uncomfortable to speak out, for fear of misleading fellow Taoists in their search for someone."

"Oh! Don't worry, boss. Just tell me what you know. Whether it's true or not, I will never complain.

As for these magical medicines, I will take them all." Seeing that the shopkeeper suddenly turned the topic back to the portrait, the man in green robe was delighted and quickly responded with a smile.

The woman in white who was not far away also showed a barely perceptible smile on her face. She nodded to the waiter in front of her and said nothing more.

“To say that this person is indeed somewhat similar to the portrait in your hand, I remember that he first came to me to buy spiritual medicine about three years ago.

But I haven’t seen him in the past year.”

Half an hour later, the man in green robe and the woman in white appeared again about ten miles away from "Black Wind Square" and came to a bare low hill.

After looking at a simple map drawn in his hand, Song Qingming turned his gaze to the location of the desert in the west.

"Based on the direction Siyue chased and the shopkeeper's description, this person is most likely hiding in the Fantasy Sea Desert not far to the west.

However, the Bloodline Soul Searching Secret Technique in my hand has not produced any results, and I am still unable to confirm whether he is Xuan Feng or not."

“Husband, since we are here, whether it is him or not, we have to find a way to find him.

But I am a little worried. Xuanfeng has been hiding here and has not returned to the family. Maybe he has some unavoidable reasons as Yuan Fang said. "

"If, I mean, if Xuanfeng is really forced into the devil's way, how should we face him?"

Before this trip, Song Yuanfang sent a lot of spirit stones on behalf of the family. He also informed Song Qingming, who was in "Chiyun Mountain", of the news that Song Siyue brought back.

If the last unusual changes in the family genealogy could have been a coincidence, then the news brought back by Song Siyue undoubtedly shook Song Qingming's confirmation of Song Xuanfeng's death.

After all, the family failed to find Song Xuanfeng's body that year, and with the series of abnormal phenomena related to him, both Song Yuanfang and Song Qingming had begun to doubt the matter.

But if the other party was really still alive, Song Xuanfeng had been hiding alone outside for so many years and had directly cut off contact with his family, which also made Song Qingming and others somewhat confused.

Logically speaking, with the current status of the Song family, even if Song Xuanfeng had offended someone outside, he would not have to hide and not dare to show up in front of his family members.

Unless he is controlled by someone else or has undergone a drastic change, he can never return to his previous identity.

".."

Hearing the worried words from Huang Siyuan beside him, his eyes were always fixed on Song Qingming in front of him, and his expression became slightly silent at this moment.

"Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times, and this matter is not something we can easily change." "If he has really come to this point, we can't abandon the safety of everyone in the family because of him.

"Then I will personally settle the matter."

With a look of determination in his eyes, Song Qingming took out a white flying boat with a slight flicker of his hand, and then jumped on it with Huang Siyuan.

After a while, the flying boat turned into a streak of white light and disappeared on the spot.
-
Three years later, in the immortal world of "Donghuang Kingdom", Yunzhou.

Yunzhou ranks fourth in area among the thirteen states of "Donghuang Country". There are no divine forces in it, but it is jointly governed by more than a dozen Nascent Soul forces.

Among them, the most powerful and famous sect is the "Tiandao Sect", one of the top ten sects in the "Donghuang Kingdom" this time.

"Tian Dao Sect" is an old-fashioned Nascent Soul Sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and its ancestors also produced Divine Transformation cultivators.

Even though it has declined to what it used to be, there are still thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the Tiandao Sect, and its strength still ranks among the top in the entire Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

In a large market town located in the territory of "Tian Dao Sect", Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were sitting in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant, watching the people coming and going on the street below.

Not long after, footsteps were heard from the distant stairs, and then a white-haired old man in a green Taoist robe appeared on the second floor.

The old man in green robe glanced around and immediately spotted Song Qingming and the other man not far away, and then walked over quickly.

"I've met the two seniors!"

"Have you got any news about the matter I asked you to find out?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, the old man in green robe immediately nodded slightly, then took out a scroll from his body and placed it in front of him.

“Senior, I have already inquired clearly. The teleportation array from Tiandao Sect to Xihua Province was originally opened once every six months, and each person needs about 15,000 spirit stones for one teleportation.

Just over a decade ago, it seemed that a war suddenly broke out in Xihua Province, and several Nascent Soul sects started fighting each other. For fear of being affected, the Tiandao Sect directly closed the intercontinental teleportation array leading to that place.

Because Xihua Province is not as peaceful as our Donghuang Xianzhou, this kind of thing is actually not the first time it has happened, but this time it seems to have lasted a little longer, and it has been more than ten years.

I got this news from a disciple of the Tiandao Sect in the market, and it is all recorded here. Please check it in detail, senior."

Hearing what the old man in green robe said, Song Qingming nodded slightly, then picked up the scroll on the table and placed it directly on his forehead.

After a while, Song Qingming put down the scroll in his hand, then took out a bag of spirit stones and gave them to the other party.

"You did a good job. Take these spirit stones first!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, Senior. If you need anything else, please let me know directly. I will do my best to serve you."

The old man in green robe who got the spirit stone was delighted and bowed again, then turned around and left the second floor of the restaurant.

After the other party left, Song Qingming put away the scroll in his hand, frowned slightly and sighed.

"I didn't expect that it was the war in Xihua Province that caused the teleportation array to stop functioning for so long. No wonder there has been no news from Qingyu for so many years."

"Haha! Although the teleportation array cannot be used for the time being, it seems to be a good thing if you think about it the other way around. At least we know that Qingyu didn't mean to not communicate with us.

It’s just that after so many years, I still don’t know how she is doing now, or whether she has successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage.”

Hearing Huang Siyuan's comfort, Song Qingming slowly showed a smile on his face and nodded.

"You're right. I was worried about this before, but now I feel relieved.

But now the teleportation array cannot be opened, and the two of us are also stuck here. We don’t know when we can see Qingyu. "

After saying that, Song Qingming shook his head helplessly, then lowered his head to think.

"Our Donghuang Xianzhou is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Xihuazhou. If we don't use the intercontinental teleportation array, we can only sneak across through the Nebula Sea.

Otherwise, we would have to start from Leiyuan Sea and head east through Dongshenzhou and Heilonghai before we could reach Xihuazhou."

"The Nebula Sea is entirely the territory of the demon race. There is no place for human cultivators to stay there. With our strength and unfamiliarity with the route, it will probably be difficult for us to pass through.

From Leiyuan Sea through East Shenzhou and Black Dragon Sea, one has to pass through at least several inter-continental teleportation arrays along the way.

Not to mention the time wasted on the detour, the combined transportation costs for the two of us would probably cost at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

This is not even counting the cost of returning home, it is really a bit expensive.”

"Both of these roads seem difficult to travel!"

After hearing Song Qingming's words and sighing again, Huang Siyuan thought for a moment and suggested, "If your husband is really unable to do it, why don't you go to Xihuazhou to find Qingyu by yourself.

Anyway, my cultivation is not high, so I can't help you much if I go. If you go alone, at least half of the cost can be saved, which is almost enough."

"I know what you mean, but there is no need to rush this matter. Why don't I wait for me to test the waters of the Tiandao Sect?

Since we are here now, we might as well ask clearly to avoid making the wrong calculations. "

Seeing that Song Qingming had already made up his mind, Huang Siyuan did not say much, but just smiled and nodded slightly, and then the two of them returned together to the cave they rented in the market town.

Early in the morning of the second day, as a name card was sent to the gate of "Tian Dao Sect", a middle-aged Taoist wearing the Taoist robe of "Tian Dao Sect" soon came to the residence of Song Qingming and the others.

After arriving at the entrance of the cave, the middle-aged Taoist took out the sound transmission talisman from his body. When he was about to cast a spell, he suddenly saw the spiritual light in front of him move slightly, and an ordinary-looking man in green clothes walked out with a calm expression.

"Junior Fang Jun from the Tiandao Sect pays homage to Senior Song!"

Seeing the person coming, Song Qingming waved his hand slightly and said directly: "No need to be polite. I wonder what you are here for?"

"Reporting to the senior, I am here on the orders of my master to invite you to the mountain for a chat!"

"Okay! Please lead the way." Seeing that the other party came specifically to pick him up, Song Qingming immediately understood his purpose and nodded and followed Fang Jun.

The two came to the mountain gate not far away, and soon passed through the "Tian Dao Sect" mountain protection formation and came to a hall on the top of the mountain.

After bringing Song Qingming here, Fang Jun arranged for several sect disciples to bring tea, and then explained to Song Qingming and went to report.

He sat in the hall for a long time, but no one came. Seeing that the spiritual energy in the hall was much more abundant than that at the foot of the mountain, Song Qingming began to meditate in seclusion.

About half an incense stick of time passed before he finally heard footsteps outside the hall. Song Qingming then opened his eyes and looked over.

Not far away, a group of more than ten people walked quickly into the hall.

Walking in front were an old man in a black robe and a long beard, and a woman in red and palace dress. The aura emanating from both of them had reached the Nascent Soul stage, and they instantly attracted Song Qingming's attention.

Among them, the old man in black robe has a much higher cultivation level than Song Qingming, and seems to have reached the peak of the sixth level of Nascent Soul.

The other woman in red palace dress had a lower cultivation level, only at the third level of Nascent Soul.

The remaining dozen people following behind them, including Fang Jun, had cultivation levels ranging from the Golden Core to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Seeing this group of people walking towards him, Song Qingming quickly stood up and bowed in their direction.

"I am Song Qingming, everyone is polite!"

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are polite. I am Yang Lingkong from the Tiandao Sect, and this is my junior sister Yu Ning."

"Haha! This must be Brother Song from the Xiaoyao Sect of the Floating Cloud Mountains. I have long heard of your name in the past few years, but I didn't expect to have the chance to meet you today."

As the red-dressed woman named Yu Ning spoke, her eyes kept sweeping over Song Qingming, and there seemed to be a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

Hearing what the other party said, it seemed that he had heard of his name before. Song Qingming's face suddenly showed some surprise and humility, "I didn't expect that you, Daoist Yu, who is far away in Donghuang Country, have also heard of my name. I am really honored."

“Fellow Daoist Song, you may not know that I am also an acquaintance of Fellow Daoist Zhao from the Southern Province Five Thunder Sect. I heard of your name from him back then.

A few years ago, Daoist Fellow's reputation of beheading several demon kings with his sword in the Floating Cloud Mountains has spread to the immortal cultivation circles of our Donghuang Country. How could we not know the name of Daoist Fellow Song?

I just don't know when you came to Tiandao Sect. I was not able to greet you from afar. I hope you won't mind if I'm impolite. "

"Well, it wasn't just Song who killed the Demon King. You two Taoist friends are really flattering me."

Seeing that the other party kept praising him right from the start, Song Qingming suddenly felt a little strange. He waved his hand modestly, and then spoke directly to Yang Lingkong:

"Song came to the Donghuang Kingdom to cultivate immortals this time. He wanted to go to Xihua Province. He came here to pay respects to the mountain. He wanted to inquire about the relevant matters.

I wonder if you two Taoist friends could give me some convenience."

"Uh! Wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Yang Lingkong first waved to the many disciples of the "Tian Dao Sect" standing nearby, signaling them to leave the hall, and then turned to Song Qingming and continued to speak apologetically:

“Since Fellow Daoist Song has come here, I believe you have heard about some of the things in our sect, so I will not hide anything from you.

This matter is really a bit tricky now, I am afraid that it will disappoint fellow Taoists. "
