“Greetings, Mirror Master.”
Xuan Yin Swordsman, Blood Bat No. 1, Ji Tang, and Jie Si, who had once worked together, all bowed respectfully when they saw Qing Yu, who was dressed as a Hidden Mirror Man.
“Jie Si of the Hall of Desperate Fate, hehe, you have a great life.” Qing Yu first looked at Jie Si and said.
Of the three sect leaders who had overthrown the Vajra Temple, the remaining two were dead, and only this Jie Si was still alive and well.
“It was just a fluke that I was here.” Jie Si shook his head gently.
With a Tong Shen realm watching you day and night, Jedi Si’s days were not exactly good. If it wasn’t for the secret method of the Jedi Life Hall, and because the a*sa*sins of the Jedi Life Hall all followed the principle of not being famous, Jedi Si would probably have died at the hands of the Generalist.
Being caught by a Tong Shen realm powerhouse who hated you deeply, even if that Tong Shen realm was a monk, would definitely not be an easy death.
Jie Si would not think that Bongsang would let himself put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha.
“Let’s call it a fluke then.”
Qing Yu laughed lightly and looked towards the other two extra figures. Properly speaking, it was one living person and one dead person.
The dead man was none other than Tal Wuyan, who Qing Yu and Zhang Xuanji had been looking for. At this moment, this elegant man who was dressed as a scholar had been dead for a while, and judging from his appearance, it looked like a suicide.
“Suicide?” Qing Yu asked.
“When we found them, Tal Wuyan was already dead, probably because he thought that his life was worse than death in our hands, so he simply committed suicide.” Zhang Xuanji said.
“A martial artist who can train to the peak of the True Dan realm would not be afraid of anything less than life and death.” Qing Yu shook his head gently.
A martial artist’s body, as well as their mind, was extremely strong. Many tortures could make them scream and suffer to the extreme, but they could not make them truly cowardly.
If there were really that many who feared life as much as death, there would be no need to always have capable hands in the Heavenly Prison who were proficient in soul searching techniques.
“Perhaps it is for loyalty, or perhaps it is because of something else; the chances of fear of torture are not great. And this girl ——”
Qing Yu’s gaze turned to the blue-skirted girl who was restricted in her powers and ability to move.
This one was, barely, a familiar face. The first lady of Yang City’s City Lord’s House, Song Ziqi, whose real identity was the daughter of King Zhang Huchen of Zhenshan, whose real name was unknown, and Qing Yu did not bother to know it.
This person would be an excellent source of information, she should know quite a lot of things about the southern border.
Qing Yu pointed a finger at ‘Song Ziqi’s’ forehead, and the power of his mind broke through the weak resistance, revealing her memories at a glance.
Setting aside the divine soul ban set by the Southern Border Witch Cult, Qing Yu began to read her past memories.
The Southern Border’s infiltration of Qingzhou had begun more than two hundred years ago. Zhang Huchen, the King of Zhenshan, once the Great Qian King of Zhenshan, his grandmother was a Southern Border witch.
At the time, Zhang Huchen’s grandfather thought it was a trophy he had acquired from his own hunting, but he never imagined that this trophy had jumped into his bowl on its own.
From his grandfather’s generation onwards, the Southern Border’s infiltration of the Zhang family had never stopped.
Until Zhang Huchen’s generation, the time was ripe and the top echelons of the Zhenshan Army were largely infiltrated by the Southern Border. The land of Qingzhou had once again returned to the embrace of the Southern Border.
Qing Yu also learnt from ‘Song Ziqi’s’ memories that Xuan Guang had accepted her as his disciple. However, he was obviously not that keen on his disciple, he had handed over his martial arts skills, but he had not pa*sed on his secret kung fu.
Among the Four Elephants of True Martial Arts, only the White Tiger Killing Technique was taught. However, this martial art was very compatible with the Zhang family’s Tiger Whistling to Set the Mountain and River, and she had also used the two martial arts to break through to the Divine Origin realm.
”Hm? This thing ——”
Qing Yu suddenly dug up something interesting from ‘Song Ziqi’s’ brain again.
”Not a bad haul, a small part of the doubts I’ve had all this time has been solved.”
Qing Yu let go of his fingers and allowed ‘Song Ziqi’ to fall to the ground.
“Mirror Master, do you need ——” Ji Tang gave ‘Song Ziqi’ a look with a very murderous intent.
“No need, take her back. She is also a good host body.” Qing Yu said indifferently.
There were still two Xuan Yin Sword Qi left, just enough to create two more Xuan Yin Sword Guards out.
Moreover, ‘Song Ziqi’ had another advantage, and that was that she was female. After completing the brainwashing of the demon seeds, she would become an excellent bearer of the ‘Divine Traveling Outside the World’.
Qing Yu would not be able to arrive in time every time. This time, she first fought with Ling Blood Du in the mountainous region, and only a short time afterwards, she found that Xuan Guang had appeared, and that the Xuan Yin Sword Sovereign could not even restrain him.
Then, Qing Yu changed his clothes, his true qi was pushed to the extreme and he rushed to this side with all his might.
He was in such a hurry to fight and rush that it was difficult for him, a Saint Demon, to hold on. If it weren’t for the other body’s power transmission through the air, Qing Yu might have had to ask the Xuan Yin Swordsman to delay for a while before joining the battle.
However, due to a situation on the other side of the body, he was unable to transmit all of his power, so Qing Yu was not careful and let Xuan Guang get away.
It would have been different if there had been a descending body that could perform the “Spiritual Travel Technique” in the future. Although this kind of genjutsu possession was definitely a great reduction in battle power, it was impossible to encounter someone like Xuan Guang every time.
“Yes, Mirror Master.” Ji Tang held up ‘Song Ziqi’ and stood to the side.
“Disperse.”
Qing Yu flicked his sleeve and paddled off into the air.
————————
Outside the Cold Palace in the Imperial City, Qing Yu looked through the golden light curtain at the sudden change that had occurred in the Cold Palace.
“So quickly?” He said with some surprise.
Xuan Zhen had only started his retreat a few days ago, and this was a breakthrough?
But considering that Xuan Zhen was suppressing it all the time before, it was only natural that it was so fast. A year ago, she could have gone ahead and attempted a breakthrough, but ended up suppressing it until now due to various restraints.
In the past year or so, Xuan Zhen should have been doing more than simply suppressing.
“It seems that I was overly worried, the chances of Xuan Zhen breaking through are greater than I thought.” Qing Yu said to himself.
Previously, Qing Yu had thought optimistically about Xuan Zhen’s chances of success in breaking through, which was fifty percent. However, now that he had discovered Xuan Zhen’s strengths, Qing Yu reckoned that it would be at least 60%.
If he thought more optimistically, 70% to 80% would be fine.
At this moment, the cold palace at least has light blooming, the white qi looks pure white, but seems to contain thousands of colours. The Qi changes into ten thousand shapes, the wind, clouds, mountains, flowers and trees are all in it.
Tai Su, the beginning of quality.
Although Xuan Zhen’s “Tai Su Yuan Gong” is not so mysterious that it can actually create matter, it still possesses some of the divine effects.
At that moment, the Qi of Tai Su changed, and the light seemed to be physical, shooting through the four walls of the cold palace and the roof of the palace.
No, not seemingly, but indeed.
“This is ——”
Qing Yu looked in amazement at the mirror formed by the light that had become solid, which was like a crystalline surface, reflecting Qing Yu’s slightly astonished face.
“True qi materialized.”
