There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 254 Gods and Demons Appear in the Ruins

Liu Shuang'er and her group sped away in their escape light; before they even arrived, their divine senses had already swept across the battlefield.

Looking at the devastation in the distance, Liu Shuang'er laughed and said, "What did I tell you? Once Chen Jun makes a move, it is naturally unstoppable! You have not personally witnessed his Core Formation, so you naturally have doubts, but I know for sure that, let alone one Gong Zhen, even if there were several more, they would not be his match."

Beside her, Princess Mu Qingling of the Qingmu Spirit Kingdom nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling, and said with a smile, "Sister Shuang'er is quite right. Young Master Chen's abilities are extraordinary and cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

An Ning frowned slightly and sighed, "Sect Leader Chen is one of our own from Nanbin, while Gong Zhen has the Heavenly Mystery Martial Arts Hall behind him, which is quite a big deal. The key is that this matter is also related to the Taiyin Ruins Trial. If it is not handled properly, it may cause even greater turmoil..."

"You're just overthinking things," Liu Shuang'er glanced at her, completely unconcerned. "Chen Jun has repeatedly stated that he has no interest in that ruin. As long as he doesn't touch it and disrupt its layout, there won't be any major trouble. As for other frictions, they're just minor details. Besides, An Ning, haven't you already found out about that 'Two Realms Mountain'? With that as a reason, Chen Jun will have to give us some face."

Mu Qingling chimed in at the opportune moment: "If Young Master Chen intends to go to the Two Realms Mountain, my Qingmu Spirit Kingdom is willing to provide an ancient teleportation array to help him go there, which will save him a lot of trouble."

As they were talking, the three of them suddenly had a thought and turned their eyes to see the enormous mirage of the Taiyin Palace, which, in full view of them, closed the door that had just been opened, trembled slightly, changed direction, and slowly moved towards the main peak of Mingxia Mountain!
"This……"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with surprise.

Even Liu Shuang'er, who had the most confidence in Chen Qing, couldn't help but show surprise in her eyes when she came to her senses.

"The ruins seem to be chasing after Chen Jun?" An Ning muttered to herself, then her expression changed. "Let's go find out what's going on!"

As they pressed down their escape light and landed at the edge of the battlefield, Luo Shuanghua, her veil stained with blood, had already forced herself to come forward to meet them.

She and Liu Shuang'er clearly had some old friendship. After nodding in acknowledgment, she briefly recounted what had just happened, especially emphasizing Chen Qing's ability to create thunder with a flick of his finger, suppress Gong Zhen, and seal the demon with a wave of his hand. Of course, she finally brought up the unusual phenomenon of the ruins!
Listening to Luo Shuanghua's narration, even though they were prepared, Liu Shuang'er and the others' expressions changed repeatedly.

After exchanging words, Liu Shuang'er decisively said, "Let's go, let's go into the mountains to visit Lord Chen!"

Seeing that Luo Shuanghua's brows were still furrowed with worry, she patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Chen Jun is not a bloodthirsty person. When we meet him later, I will put in a good word for you."

Luo Shuanghua slowly shook her head and pointed to the illusory image of the Taiyin Palace that was slowly pressing down on the main peak of Mingxia: "I am not entirely worried about myself, but I am worried that this trial may bring unpredictable changes."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuang'er, An Ning, Mu Qingling, and the others all turned their gazes toward the ancient palace in the sky, their hearts sinking.

the other side.

The Drunken Immortal Pavilion guards, who had witnessed the entire battle, calmed their shock, narrowed their eyes, and recalled the events. They became even more certain that the fleeting aura that Chen Qing of Mingxia Mountain had displayed when he sealed Gong Zhenren was something that no ordinary Golden Core cultivator could possess.

"That aura, it even has a bit of the aura of the shop owner!"

After a moment of contemplation, he made his decision.

"This person is unfathomable and should not be approached lightly. We must report back immediately and discuss this further."

With a flicker, he transformed into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.

"Amazing! Amazing!!"

In the shadows of the mountains and forests, Jun Wuyai clapped his hands and chuckled: "Turning his hand to make clouds, turning it back to make rain! The Chen family's methods are indeed like a dragon lurking in the abyss! Even if I were at my peak, those three demons would have taken me quite a bit of effort to deal with, yet he suppressed them with a flick of his hand! It seems that having him here to guard this place during this great calamity is truly an excellent reliance! No wonder fate has led me here!"

As he pondered, he narrowed his eyes.

"Although he is wary of me, our fates are intertwined. I have repeatedly helped Mingxia avoid disaster. This is destiny. Let's wait for the right opportunity."

With this thought in mind, he withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked into the forest.

at the same time.

Inside the gate of Mingxia Mountain, Bai Qichen had already arrived and solemnly presented his name for a visit.

He looked around at the simple furnishings in the mountains and praised, "A secluded mountain retreat, a hidden paradise. Master Chen's residence is a return to simplicity and nature, quite in the style of ancient sages."

Upon seeing this, Bai Shaoyou immediately interrupted, saying, "Brother, let's get straight to the point. There's no need for such formalities. Master Chen dislikes empty talk."

Bai Qichen immediately agreed, cupping his hands in a serious tone: "I misspoke! Regarding Mount Jiming, I will immediately use all my connections to thoroughly investigate its secrets and will present a detailed map and key information to the sect leader as soon as possible for his consideration."

Chen Qing nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "The Bai family is indeed full of capable people, and Bai Qichen is very thorough in his actions. Moreover, the Bai family is indeed a charitable family; every member is warm-hearted and a good person."

Just then, Liu Shuang'er entered with An Ning and Mu Qingling.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Liu Shuang'er got straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I have checked the records of the mountain you were looking for in your previous message. Its name is Liangjie Mountain, also known as Jiming Mountain! It is located in the gap between Yin and Yang, and its roots are deeply connected with the Western Wilderness Buddhist sect, as well as having a close relationship with the Dongling Sansheng Stone Temple."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded, which perfectly corroborated what Bai Qichen had said, proving the credibility of the two families' intelligence.

Bai Qichen was about to take his leave when he saw someone coming to visit, but when he heard that they were talking about Mount Jiming, he immediately took notice and felt a sense of urgency. So he stopped and listened attentively.

Chen Qingze asked, "Now that you know where this mountain is, is there a way to get there?" Liu Shuang'er smiled and said, "I have already found out for you. Within the Qingmu Spirit Kingdom, there is an ancient teleportation array. The array diagram points to the entrance of this mountain! In the past, I heard that it was once a training ground for the Qingmu clan, but now no one has gone there for a long time."

Mu Qingling chimed in at the opportune moment: "If Young Master Chen is willing, my Qingmu Spirit Kingdom is willing to activate the ancient formation to lend you a hand."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qichen's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated before speaking.

Chen Qing's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at Mu Qingling. Recognizing her, he said, "Your country actually possesses such an object, and it even connects directly to the Two Realms Mountain?"

For him, this was indeed an unexpected delight.

If we obtain this formation, we can avoid the hardship of arduous searching and directly reach our target, increasing efficiency by more than double! The key is that if we can find the so-called Dao Fruit or discover the true nature of the Demon Buddha, we can also plan the situation of the Dream Immortal Dynasty more calmly.

After all, given the current situation, if the matter of the Demon Buddha's Dao Fruit is not clarified as soon as possible, then the story of "Li Qing" will be difficult to continue.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuang'er smiled and said first, "Chen Junwei is renowned in Nanbin and possesses unparalleled supernatural powers. Sister Qingling is naturally sincerely helping you. Besides, after today's events, countless eyes will be focused on you. If you can temporarily leave using the ancient formation of the Qingmu Spirit Kingdom, you can avoid countless troubles."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's mind raced. After a while, he asked Mu Qingling, "When will this formation be activated? What price will I need to pay if I wish to pass through? Also, does your country have any further records about that mountain?"

Seeing Chen Qing's interest, Mu Qingling's eyes flashed with joy: "The array is located in a forbidden area within the country and can be activated for you at any time! As for the price, it's quite simple. I originally came here for a marriage alliance, but because I dislike it, I have already run away from the marriage. I would like to ask you to protect me and escort me back to the Qingmu Ancestral Land!"

"Ok?"

Chen Qing was taken aback. He really hadn't expected such a request, and he instinctively sensed that it would cause a lot of trouble.

Mu Qingling saw his concerns and continued, "Young master, rest assured, my decision to elope was not made on a whim. My ancestor had given me instructions that if I was not happy, I could break off the engagement, and he would take the blame for me. It's just that the Southern Yan court was polite on the surface, but the Fifth Prince was somewhat unwilling and sent people to harass me in private, which caused some trouble."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Sister Liu Shuang'er also knows the reason for this matter. She can testify for me that Elder Fu, who came with me, is negotiating with the Southern Yan court. In fact, the only people he is facing are those sent by the Fifth Prince."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuang'er nodded and secretly transmitted her voice to Chen Qing, telling him more secrets.

Seeing that Chen Qing was still pondering, Mu Qingling sighed and said, "Of course, I am aware of the trouble involved. If you are unwilling, I am willing to help you. I can write a letter..."

“Alright.” Chen Qing made a quick decision and then suddenly spoke up, “If you want to gain something, you have to give something in return. If I only ask for your help, I will feel uneasy! I should help you get rid of disasters and calamities! Then I will trouble Your Highness to make arrangements. We will set off immediately.”

He thought that if this matter involved the Dao Fruit of the Demon Buddha, it would inevitably be a very heavy karmic consequence, and it would be perfectly normal for it to attract human tribulations. Rather than waiting until the time was unpredictable, it would be better to choose something that he could control himself.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingling immediately exclaimed with delight, "Thank you so much, young master!"

They've reached an agreement.

Bai Qichen, listening from the side, grew increasingly anxious, thinking to himself, "He suppressed a powerful enemy with a flick of his wrist, attracting the relic to follow him. Now, the princess of Xiu Kingdom has even offered up the passage to the ancient formation. Sect Leader Chen's luck has arrived, and he's about to rise to power, like a dragon emerging from the abyss! At this moment, I probably can't hesitate, otherwise the connections I've worked so hard to build might be wasted!"

Upon realizing this, he immediately stepped forward and solemnly said, "Since Sect Leader Chen is determined to go, my Bai family is willing to provide all necessary supplies along the way and send experts to Qingmu Spirit Kingdom to meet you and serve you!"

Chen Qing glanced at him and smiled, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Bai."

Bai Qichen immediately replied, "Not at all! Sect Leader Chen, you're too kind! You are my younger brother's mentor, like a father to him. We are family!"

Bai Shaoyou glanced sideways upon hearing this.

Chen Qingxuan immediately stood up and said to Liu Shuang'er and An Ning, "I am going to Qingmu. I will trouble you two to take care of things here."

An Ning readily agreed: "Mr. Chen, please go with peace of mind. With us here in Nanbin, things won't get chaotic!"

Liu Shuang'er said, "I will go with you. I know you are a very suspicious person. If I go with you, you will have less to worry about."

Chen Qing was taken aback, then nodded in agreement.

"It won't be too late..."

He was preoccupied with the changes in his dream, and now that he had the clues, he didn't want to linger. As for the details, he could add more later.

Unexpectedly, just as we were about to leave, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the mountain!
Immediately afterwards, the Taiyin Ruins that had come with Chen Qing suddenly unfolded on the main peak of Mingxia Mountain, and the many islands within it suddenly trembled, fluctuating like a mirage!
This change naturally drew responses from people both inside and outside the mountains.

Chen Qing looked up and saw that the scene in the ruins was the same as that of the Obsidian Island of the Taiyin Sect's headquarters, only more broken and dilapidated. However, in conjunction with the description of the ruins, he was further certain that this was the place that the Nascent Soul cultivator of Yuehua Mansion had set up to scheme against him back then!
Immediately, a powerful sense of calling erupted from it!
"It really wasn't destroyed? But, in the end..."

He was wondering when suddenly his pupils contracted!
But then the various scenes in the ruins suddenly changed, and deep within the islands, a stone palace appeared!
This hall has an ancient style, covered with marks of chisels and axe strokes, and most of it has collapsed!
However, the moment Chen Qing saw this hall, a fragment of his memory surfaced from the depths of his mind—a name that Xuan Su, a wise man from the Taiyin Sect, had once mentioned.

"Ruins of gods and demons?!"
