Night without Borders

Chapter 163 The Consequences of Frequent Night Walks

Qin Ming felt a warm current surge in his heart. He felt warm and quickly came forward and called out "Master Li" sincerely.

He was poor in his childhood and depended on his grandfather for life. When he was a teenager, he was abandoned by the Cui family and sent away to make use of his remaining energy. He wandered in the Black and White Mountains, experienced dying, lost his memory, suffered from hunger and cold, and deeply experienced the warmth and coldness of the world.

Therefore, when others are kind and helpful to Qin Ming, he is always grateful.

"Why is your face covered in bruises? Did the old guy from Liuyu Zutang beat you?" Li Qingyun's expression changed slightly. He held his shoulder and looked at him carefully.

He naturally didn't believe that people of his age could bully the boy in front of him.

"Master Li, I'm fine. I got hurt while practicing." Qin Ming smiled awkwardly. In the past two days, he used the earth fire to attract the heavenly thunder and refined the elixir internally, which made himself look a little embarrassed.

As he spoke, he began to absorb the Yi wood essence near the mountain gate to nourish his flesh, blood and spirit.

Li Qingyun was surprised and said, "Oh, you can do it. Many people have studied Yi Mu Jing for many years and can practice the skills to kill enemies, but it is difficult for them to truly resonate with plants and trees. It has only been a short time. You are really amazing!"

He was relieved, and then lowered his voice and said, "In the past two days, I heard that a remarkable genius appeared in the Liuyu Ancestral Temple. He was extremely gifted and single-handedly broke through a group of geniuses in the Fangwai Immortal Land. Is this true?"

"Yes, it's a young man named Qi Zizai, he is indeed amazing." Qin Ming said, and stopped practicing the Yi Mu Sutra. After all, they were near the mountain gate, and he didn't want to create a scene of surging green air.

"Senior Brother Qi Zizai will definitely be the ancestor of the revival of our Liuyu ancestral temple!" A young man who was passing by nearby spoke up immediately after hearing this.

The two female disciples walked out of the mountain gate and when they heard these words, they also felt a sense of agreement and nodded.

"As one of the strongest sects on the road to new life, the Six Imperial Ancestral Temple is worthy of its reputation." Li Qingyun agreed. Of course, one should not speak carelessly in other people's territory.

At the same time, he suspected that Qi Zizai might be related to Xiao Qin.

"Mr. Li, I'm going to say hello to my friends before I leave." Qin Ming went to say goodbye to Lu Zizai.

Li Qingyun looked at the young man in coarse linen clothes in the distance. He felt that he was clear-headed and steady at first, but when he looked at him more closely, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't see through him!
Then, he caught a glimpse of the golden bird on his shoulder, and his heart was shocked for a moment. It was definitely not an ordinary species, but more like a legendary species.

Moreover, there seemed to be a huge amount of golden blood flowing in the palm-sized body of the bird. If it were to really explode, the scene would be extremely terrifying.

Li Qingyun clasped his fists. He did not treat Lu Zizai as a teenager, and he felt very uneasy.

Lu Zizai looked over and nodded at him.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'm leaving!" Qin Ming came closer without saying much.

"The scripture you practiced is actually extremely dangerous. I don't know if you can endure it to the end. Don't rush to integrate the top classics. It will not do you any good. You need to proceed step by step, otherwise as time goes by, you may suddenly explode. In history, there have been great masters who participated, but they couldn't hold on in the end. You should pay attention to refining your true skills with the worldly fire." Lu Zizai secretly transmitted the message.

Then, he pointed at the strange bird on his shoulder and said, "Xiao Jin has been free-range all this time and has not been taken care of. Back then, it had a brother who was very favored. He stayed at the mountain gate all day, listening to various scriptures and being fed with elixirs by the elders. He seemed magical, but when he was finally released, he was mistaken for a blood and flesh medicine and was easily slaughtered."

Qin Ming quickly said, "Brother Lu, stop talking. It's not a good analogy to use this way."

"You're overthinking it. This is a true story. Let's go!" Lu Zizai turned and left, walking into the dark night and disappearing at the end of the earth.

The night wind was howling, and a high-level exotic bird broke through the clouds and flew at high speed in the sky, its target being Chixia City, 15,000 miles away.

"Qi Zizai, is it really you?" Even though he had guessed it, Li Qingyun's body was still shaking slightly in the air. He had been guarding outside for the past few days, and his ears were almost callused.

"Master Li, be careful." Qin Ming reminded him that if he really fell from such a dark high altitude, the consequences would be disastrous.

Li Qingyun was very pleased. He had always thought highly of Qin Ming's potential, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated it.

"Recently, the evening papers often mention famous geniuses. Various figures continue to emerge, and the 'number one' in different cities compete with each other. There is even a genius who swept across the eighty-one cities. It can be said that the situation is very exciting. For example, there is the rise of a young master, and there is also a pure yang body on the road to immortality. The scene of the arrival of a new era has caused heated discussions everywhere..."

On the way, Li Qingyun talked to Qin Ming about what had happened recently.

Advanced exotic birds flew across the night sky, and as time passed, they were not far from Chixia City.

Suddenly, Li Qingyun's face changed and he shouted, "Stop and change direction!"

Qin Ming was also shocked and his body tensed up involuntarily.

It was originally a dark world, with occasional cities appearing on the earth like fireflies. But now, in front of them, a faint halo was spreading.

It was brighter than the fire in the city, but it was still a long way away.

The most important thing is that they are high in the sky at the moment, and the halo is obviously among the clouds, which is a bit scary.

The pale blue light in the distance looked very soft, as if it was spreading smoothly, but there was a loud explosion in the front, and as it surged, the thick clouds collapsed!
"Go any faster or we'll be caught up!" Li Qingyun was anxious, and finally encountered an unusual incident.

The world of night fog is extremely mysterious. Even after the great pioneering, some inexplicable phenomena sometimes occur in the territories occupied by humans. Some are bizarre, some are terrifying, and some are mysterious and bizarre, all of which are difficult to understand.

"Xiao Qin, have you put on your 'wing suit'?" Li Qingyun asked during the violent turbulence.

"Put it on!" Qin Ming responded.

The two men were already lying on the backs of their flying mounts, both very nervous because this high-level exotic bird was actually trembling slightly.

"Old buddy, what's wrong with you?" Li Qingyun sent a voice message.

"I'm lost and can't see anything." The voice of the advanced alien bird trembled.

The two people on its back felt their hearts sink, because they found that their five senses had become dull and numb, and their consciousness was almost rigid.

They were already covered by a faint blue mist, or rather, the halo expanded to this place, illuminating the night fog.

"We should be able to determine the direction of the ground. Let's land quickly."

The night fog near them stirred and exploded, and then the sky turned upside down. They kept descending, tumbling, and finally fell towards an unknown place.

"It's okay, we're very close to the ground!" Li Qingyun shouted. Finally, he stopped talking because they had been descending for a long time without landing in the violent tumbling.

Until the light blue night fog overturned the high-level aliens, and shook them out like a raging sea. The senses of the two were numb and their reactions were abnormally slow.

Qin Ming's whole body burst with heavenly energy, and he spread out his "wing suit". He was like a night bird, flapping its wings.

However, it didn't take long before the two "wings" broke.

He thought of what Old Man Liu from Heibai Village said. Walking on the road at night all year round, he might encounter all kinds of horrible and bizarre things. Now he could only leave it to fate.

Qin Ming's several miraculous skills resonated, and more than twenty kinds of sky light power merged into one, like a golden crow falling in the night fog.

The moment was very short and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Even with the protection of daylight, Qin Ming's eyes went dark and he passed out. His injuries were not that serious, but his senses were numb and he could not hold on any longer.

He didn't know how long it had been before he opened his eyes. The scenery around him was blurry. Although there was a faint blue mist, his five senses were slowly recovering and his consciousness was gradually becoming clear.

Qin Ming shook his head vigorously and found that he had smashed the ground and there was blood on his mouth, but with the protection of the Sky Light Force, he was not seriously injured.

He carefully sensed his own condition. Although he felt great pain, his bones were not broken and his internal organs were not ruptured. It seemed that he was not very high from the ground when he fell.

He immediately practiced the "Life Changing Sutra", which could prolong his life and enhance the vitality of his blood and flesh, and then he practiced the "Yi Wood Sutra" to capture the essence of nearby plants and trees to heal his wounds.

Finally, Qin Ming's perception was completely restored. He stood up, practiced silk calligraphy, pulled out the mutton-fat jade iron knife, and explored the situation nearby.

He searched silently nearby but did not find Li Qingyun or his flying mount.

It should be late at night, the sky and the earth were pitch black, with only light blue mist lingering.

Qin Ming searched for a long time, but did not see anything unusual, so he called out, "Master Li!"

However, he did not get any response.

Qin Ming sighed, "No wonder many masters are unwilling to cross the night sky. Birds fall from time to time, and no one can bear it."

At present, many events in the Night Fog World cannot be explained or understood.

He groped forward in the hazy blue fog, and finally saw something strange, because the land ahead seemed familiar. It was a wasteland on the west side of Chixia City.

He was speechless for a moment. He had already reached the door of his home, but a bird fell!
"I'm fine, so Mr. Li should be more resistant to falls, right?" Qin Ming thought that Mr. Li should be fine.

Not long after, he climbed over a barren slope and saw Chixia City in the thick night. He walked forward quickly.

Along the way, the scenery became more and more familiar.

It was late at night and the fire springs in the city were controlled and covered up by humans. The whole city was very dim, with only a faint light flowing.

Moreover, there was also blue mist spreading here, and the entire city seemed to be shrouded in a thin blue light.

"It's Chixia City, the right place." Qin Ming stopped and found traces of his past on a large bluestone far outside the city.

Once when he was out of town, he casually "tested his skills" and left a deep fist hole on it.

The magnificent city gate tower stood in front. It was late at night and the heavy city gate had long been closed. Qin Ming climbed over a section of the city wall silently.

"It's so quiet." He frowned. Although the section of the city wall he chose was in a remote place, it was still deserted and silent after entering the city.

The street was empty and he walked forward. When he passed a night market, he became a little uneasy. Even though it was late at night, the business here should have been good, but now there was not even a single person.

There was a light blue night fog flowing in the city, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Qin Ming, holding a jade-like iron knife in his hand, walked alone in the silent city.

Several restaurants in the bustling area used to have customers late at night, but now, although the lights were on, they were dead silent without any movement.

Qin Ming went up to a restaurant, but it was empty, with no one in sight.

Some tables were filled with wine, food, and even steam. It was really unusual.

Qin Ming entered the backyard and broke into the kitchen, but still didn't find anyone.

Having already entered the city, he did not retreat immediately, but went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. There was no one on guard, so he entered silently without reporting.

Qin Ming entered the familiar living room. Various bronze artifacts were there. He even suspected that Meng Xinghai had appeared here not long ago.

Because the calming incense in the copper stove was only half burned, the aroma was lingering, and on the wooden table, the tea in the cup seemed to have just been brewed, and there was still a lingering tea aroma.

Qin Ming walked around the City Lord's Mansion and found it empty.

He frowned. Was all this caused by the light blue night fog? The entire city and even this area was covered by it.

This kind of silence makes people uneasy. The huge Chixia City is now like a ghost town, empty and devoid of people.

Qin Ming came to the brightest place in the city. There were four levels of fire springs here, plus a group of first and second level fire springs. If they were not covered by stone slabs, they could illuminate the night sky.

His pupils contracted and he was quite shocked.

Because, the fire spring did not bloom with the normal red glow, but a rich blue!
Has this fire spring been "eroded"?
The spring pool was still there, but the blue liquid gushing out was very unusual. It evaporated into the night sky and gradually turned into blue mist, covering the entire city, looking extremely strange.
