The news of the defeat of Pei Dongliu by the “True Martial Daoist Monarch” Qing Yu spread rapidly and became known to the world.
The news of the defeat of Pei Dongliu could not be concealed, and the battle between the two had a wide impact, followed by the sword of yin and yang against the extreme moves of the Palace of the Underworld, which was so magnificent that many people saw it.
Since this was the case, it was time to come up with another title to wear on Qing Yu’s head beforehand. Then Qing Yu exercised the wisdom from the other world – the water army.
As the news spread, the name “True Martial Monarch” was inexplicably created, and then quickly became widely known thanks to the propaganda of countless water armies.
However, it seems that people in the jianghu world have an obsession with being “number one in the world” and attach great importance to this name. The ironic name of “No.1 under the Sky” is even more acceptable to them. After all, everyone is a bit jealous.
Just like Pei Dongliu, his original name was “King of Combat”, but after he received the name “Number One in the World”, fewer and fewer people called him “King of Combat”.
So even with a huge army of watermen going around, the “True Martial Lord” and the “Number One in the World” are still evenly split, half and half.
But that’s a good result. Even for someone like Qingyu who doesn’t care about fame (and he really doesn’t), he doesn’t want to hear people shouting, “Look, there’s the ‘Number One’ Qingyu!” as soon as he leaves the house.
Compared to this, it is not as simple and real as the previous “demon dao”.
On the third day after the battle between Qing Yu and Pei Dongliu, a man and a woman with a young child arrived at the True Martial Gate in a horse-drawn carriage.
The further they went towards the True Martial Gate, the more barren the land became, until finally, as far as the eye could see, it was already a dry and cracked wasteland.
This area is so over-extracted from the earth’s energy that it could become a desert in a few years’ time if left unattended.
In the middle of this wasteland, however, stands the Seven Peaks of True Martial Arts, which are like a fairy land on earth.
The over-extraction of earth qi was drawn from the surrounding earth, but the area where the True Martial Sect is located was not affected at all. On the contrary, the remaining earth qi nourished the seven peaks, making the concentration of yuan qi around them more than 20% higher than before.
“Changing the landscape, such great power, even with the help of a great formation, is beyond the ability of a Tong Shen realm like me.” Lian Feihong opened the car window and looked at the barren landscape outside, sighing tersely.
She was the pillar of the Lian family, having broken through to the Tong Shen realm early on, and with the a*sistance of her husband Lian Lin, she asked herself if she could fight any Tong Shen realm. But in the face of Qing Yu, who had caused such a horrific scenario, Lian Feihong asked herself that she was completely out of her league.
“And that is precisely why we are here as a couple, isn’t it?” Her husband, Lian Lin, said with a smile.
“Let’s hope you’re right.” Lian Feihong grunted.
The taller Lian Lin was not as strong as Lian Feihong, nor was he as strong as Lian Feihong, even when he was the one lying down in bed, but he had a wisdom that did not match his rugged appearance.
Although the Lian family has always been headed by Lian Feihong, Lian Lin’s opinion is more popular. It was also because Lian Lin was not that strong in nature, otherwise the Lian family would have been in trouble long ago.
“If the Lian family wants to survive in this chaotic world, a powerful force is essential to shelter them. The real Qing Yu may not look like he’s obvious, but he has profound strength and power. And you were there when he first spoke. The Lian family only needs to do its old job, and it does not need to make the Lian family a va*sal.
During this period of time, the Hou Qian side has also given up targeting the Lian family, allowing the clan to live in peace, and the real Qing Yu has already given enough sincerity.” Lian Lin said.
Qing Yu was more like one of those buyers who traded with the Lian family and did not intend to make the Lian family completely subordinate, this alone was enough to move Lian Feihong. It was also because Lian Lin could see this that he had taken the initiative to propose cooperation with Qing Yu.
“Got it, what you said is polite,” Lian Feihong lightly rolled her eyes, “If it works out, I’ll let you be on top for a month this time back.”
“Hey, where is Duster still?” Lian Lin hurriedly covered the ears of a pink and jade-like little girl beside him.
This time, he had come to the True Martial Sect to make a contract with the Real Qing Yu. The Lian family would serve the True Martial Sect, and likewise the True Martial Sect would raise the sons of Lian Feihong and Lian Lin. Of course, there was also the element of being part of the pledges.
“Dusty is still young, how can he possibly understand.”
Lian Feihong said, flicking his index finger, his true qi forming a snow-white silk thread and flinging it at the two stallions pulling the cart. The light fling had the same force as a whip, causing the two horses to speed up towards the Seven Peaks of True Martial Arts.
After a few more moments, the carriage entered the boundary of the Seven Peaks of True Martial Arts and the scenery around it reversed dramatically.
It was as if there was an invisible boundary that divided the True Martial Sect from the rest of the surrounding area, defining the earthly fairyland and the wasteland.
Stepping into the True Martial Gate area is like stepping into another world.
At the True Martial Sect’s mountain gate, two Daoist priests were already waiting for the arrival of the Lian family.
“Disciples of the True Martial Sect, by order of the Sect Master, welcome the arrival of the Lian family head and Mr Lian, please!” The middle-aged Daoist priest in the lead clasped his fist and said.
————————
Led by Xuan Feng, who greeted the three members of the Lian family, the group travelled the path while touring the beautiful landscape of the seven peaks of True Martial Arts, and arrived in front of the Taiji Hall on Chonghe Peak.
“Sect Leader, Master Lian and Mr Lian are here.” Xuanfeng said by voice transmission from outside the hall.
Inside the Taiji Hall, Qing Yu and Xuan Zhen collected their energy, put away the Heavenly Crystal, and said, “Please invite Family Master Lian and Mr. Lian in.”
The voice seemed to ring in his ears, clear and soothing, giving people a sense of spring breeze.
The misty clouds seemed to have a strange spirit, avoiding the four of them and revealing the white-haired Daoist and the female crown standing side by side in the hall.
“Family Master Lian, Mr. Lian, it’s been a long time.” Qing Yu waved his sleeve slightly, causing the white cloud of smoke to dissipate faster, and smiled imploringly at the three members of the Lian family.
“This is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lian, Qingduan. Qing Yu looked at the little girl who was timidly hiding behind Lian Lin and said with a light smile.
“My daughter, Lian Qingduan, will need to be taken care of by you in the future.” Lian Fei Hong said as she led the little girl by the hand.
“Certainly,” said Qing Yu, “your daughter will be personally accepted by your uncle Xuan Zhen, and she will be your little sister from now on.”
“Qingduan,” Xuan Zhen smiled slightly and looked at the little girl, “it just so happens that you are also of the Qing generation, so from now on you will be called ‘Qingduan’.”
“Dusty, pay your respects to your master.” Lian Feihong leaned down slightly and said in her daughter’s ear.
Although it was a bit of a pity that she could not worship True Qingyu as her master, it was not bad to worship this True Xuan Zhen as her master. Judging from Lian Feihong’s experience, Xuan Zhen and Qing Yu were very close, so it might be more beneficial to worship her as a teacher.
