As the crowd gathered in the Taiji Hall to deliberate, there was a dark change outside the Wanfa Peak.
A quiet pool of water not far from Wanfa Peak was rippling and the water was tumbling, as if something huge was rising to the surface from underneath the water.
“Wow…”
The water splashed and the thick object broke out of the water, stretching itself out in the air.
“Hiss…”
The head, which was half the width of an adult’s body, bobbed, its cold vertical pupils unmoving, and its closed mouth gulped long snake letters.
It was a snake, or rather a python.
An incredibly thick anaconda emerged from beneath this secluded pool of water.
The huge python gulped its snake’s letters and felt the temperature around it. Seemingly unaware of any living creature warm enough to be around, the python slowly lowered its head to the muddy ground beside the pool.
And then, the huge mouth opened to its limit, the thick body squirmed regularly, and the black figure slowly crawled out of the python’s mouth.
“Wow…”
Another splash, but this time, the splash was a disgusting looking slime.
The black figure slowly rose from the ground, its true qi automatically draining the disgusting slime away from its body.
The man slowly raised his head and, after slightly adjusting to the light outside, looked at the top of the Manifestation Peak, “Is this the place? That white-haired Taoist, and ——”
————————
At the top of Wanfa Peak, Qing Yu, who was reading a book, suddenly frowned, “A foreboding feeling, but there seems to be no danger.”
The first time I read a book, I had a sudden whim that someone was against me. But when I counted, there seemed to be no danger.
“Hmm?” Qing Yu instinctively checked all the Qi with his Heavenly Son’s Lookout Technique and noticed what appeared to be a dark Qi, slowly spreading from below.
“This aura is not a righteous one, there are no evil people from the True Martial Sect mixed in, are there?” Qing Yu raised his eyebrows in some surprise.
The True Martial Arts Sect’s protective formation, the “True Martial Arts Seven Tribulations Formation”, was not activated all the time, but there was an invisible layer of aura that spread across the field.
Anyone who is not a member of the True Martial Arts Sect and is not personally brought in through the main gate will trigger this layer of Qi and set off an alarm.
Although this setup is not very threatening, it is extremely secretive and few people are able to detect it.
“Tch, it always feels like this is someone pulling a trick.”
Qing Yu’s figure flickered and appeared beside the silly lying Xuan Feng, grabbing him and shoving him into the ground.
Yes, stuffed. The ground was like water, rippling and swallowing Xuan Feng’s form.
“With me guiding his body’s true qi to run automatically, Xuanfeng has switched from external breathing to internal breathing, and with his amount of true qi, he’ll be fine for a whole day underground.”
“Well —— be safe and hide a hundred metres underground.”
A whole hundred meters deep, if this could kill him, one could only say that Xuan Feng deserved it.
“So, which noble guest wants to find the poor dao?”
The sharp eyes locked directly to one side, causing the kind man who wanted to play infiltration to show himself helplessly.
Cloaked in a black robe, his face was also covered by a pitch-black mask of a ghostly face. From the looks of it, this was a qualified sneaky fellow.
However, when Qing Yu looked at people, he looked at their Qi first and foremost, not their faces.
“Combining poisonous sand with blood poison, the blood soul sand has obvious characteristics, Lin Quxuan, this mask of yours is useless.” Qing Yu chuckled softly.
“One who can practice qi poison is indeed extraordinary,” Lin Quxuan raised his hand to remove the mask which was not of much use, “Daoist Master Qingyu, you have made me look for it.”
After parting from Xuan Goblet Xuan Zhen and the others at the Tianzhen Temple in Shuzhou, Qing Yu went straight back to Northern Zhou in the White Phoenix. This made Lin Quxuan, who was secretly watching, waxed.
He wanted to wait until Qing Yu had parted from Xuan Goblet and the others, then secretly capture the Daoist priest and question him about how he had developed the Qi poison. But what if the Daoist priest flew away, how could he be captured?
After losing sight of Qing Yu, Lin Quxuan was still undeterred and secretly sent his men to look for the white-haired Taoist.
In theory, with such an aura and conspicuous white hair, this Taoist should be a famous person in the jianghu. But in fact, although Qing Yu was very famous in the Northern Zhou, he was really an unknown person in the Great Qian.
Lin Quxuan had searched hard, but could not find any trace of this white-haired Taoist. Until ——
was a*sisted by a man with a heart.
“Is it really just to find me?” Qing Yu revealed a meaningful smile.
Lin Quxuan had something to ask of himself, and Qing Yu knew it. When he was at the Tian Zhen Guan, Lin Quxuan thought he was secretive and unnoticed by others, but Qing Yu was aware of his prying eyes. It was just that at that time, Qing Yu did not know what Lin Quxuan had in mind for himself.
Now that he had heard Lin Quxuan’s story, Qing Yu knew that he was after something called “Qi Poison”.
But was Lin Quxuan really just looking for Qingyu?
When he appeared, he quietly used his divine sense to sweep the hut behind Qing Yu and the surrounding area. Although the movement was stealthy, it could not be hidden from Qing Yu.
It would not have occurred to Lin Quxuan that the man he thought was weak, Qing Yu, would be able to detect his search.
No, more than discovering his search, Qingyu could ——
It would have killed him.
The ground suddenly rippled as four earthen blades burst up from the ground beside Lin Quxuan, stabbing him straight in the chest and abdomen.
“Hmph.”
The Blood Soul Sand appeared outside his body, wrapping all of Lin Quxuan’s body, forming an armour of sand to keep the blades out.
At the same time, large and small blood-coloured swirls were created on the sand armour, crushing the sword blade inch by inch.
“Qing Yu, you ——”
Lin Quxuan was about to say more, but Qing Yu’s attack that followed close behind caused him to shut up and put off the idea of speaking.
“Miso miso miso–”
It was as if countless sharp swords had been sheathed, and endless sword qi shot out from all directions.
Sword Intent – All Things Become My Sword.
It was not cast with Xuan Yin Sword Qi, but with one’s own Sword Qi to cast this Xuan Yin Third Sword. Whether it was the air or the ground, countless sword qi was formed by various mediums and shot towards the layers of Blood Soul Sand.
It was not that Lin Quxuan did not want to speak, but that he could not speak.
To protect himself from these countless sword qi, he could only cover his entire body, including his face, with Blood Soul Sand.
Hegemonic Sword – Diamond Blade Breaking Mantle.
There were five realms of innate body-breaking invisible sword qi, and Qing Yu had already reached the realm of sword qi, with a raised eyebrow and a blink of an eye, it was all sword qi. Without the need to make a move, countless invulnerable and overbearing sword qi generated and saved shots, striking the blood soul sand with splashes.
“Ah!”
Lin Quxuan finally couldn’t hold back and shouted out his move, “Sand Soul Blood Whistle.”
The Blood Soul Sand surged up and blasted, a tidal wave of sand attacking wildly, colliding with the overbearing sword qi.
“Qing Yu, you brought this on yourself, don’t die.” Lin Quxuan warned at last.
If he died, he wouldn’t be able to find the next person with the secret of Qi poison.
