Chapter 788: Reminiscence
The giant ape knew the power of this star, and on the altar of the dead that day, he had seen Song Qing subduing this star with his own eyes.
Later, during the expedition to Gu Mansion, he witnessed Song Qing fusing the two major killing formations laid by Gu Wuxiang and Chu Yousheng into this big array.
From his 'companion' being trapped to being strangled in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Xingchen was floating not far from his side, and his gaze was on Song Qingxiao, who had just killed four people, but his face did not change.
She held a long sword in her hand, and the chaotic spiritual power formed an air current, impacting her hair and clothes, making an incessant 'whoosh' sound.
The flying dust and mist and yin qi made the man wonder about her expression at this time, although the two were old acquaintances, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years.
Most of the trialists in the Divine Prison are ruthless, and who knows what she has become now?
The long sword in her hand and the blue lantern and black order released earlier did not know anything, and she was able to kill the four Infant Transformation Realm masters in such a short period of time, so you can imagine her horror.
But the moment the giant ape met Song Qingxiao's gaze, it let out a muffled roar.
His tall mountain-like figure quickly shrank under Song Qingxiao's gaze, and in the blink of an eye, he turned back into a short and thin man, smiling at Song Qingxiao and greeting:
"Long time no see."
The six stars were still flickering not far from his body, but he had already lifted the state of a giant ape with powerful combat power, as if he couldn't sense the crisis.
As soon as this person's voice fell, the corners of Song Qingxiao's mouth hooked slightly:
"It's been a long timeβ"
As she spoke, the sword she held in her hand turned into light and shadow, burrowing into her palm.
The stars floating not far from the man's side also 'whoosh' and pulled out several brilliant rays of light, circled around her twice, and then disappeared into her.
"βYao Liu."
She called out the identity of the man, and the act of putting away the magic weapon made Yao Liu's tense heartstrings loosen slightly.
Purple Flame flew back into the chaotic green lantern, and with a clench of her hand, the lamp had disappeared without a trace.
Yao Liu's cheeks twitched, and his gaze stayed on the green light for a moment, and finally his gaze became calm.
He turned his head and glanced around at the area where the sword qi had been destroyed, with a cautious look on his face:
"Let's get out of here first."
This place was destroyed, although Song Qingxiao ended the battle in a very short time, but this is the Upper East District of the Imperial Capital, which belongs to the territory of the Shi family, and is also the council headquarters of the Martial Arts Research Institute.
Four of the Infant Transformation Realm masters of the Martial Arts Research Institute died at the hands of Song Qingxiao, and it was impossible for the council to give up.
Although her strength has increased beyond Yao Liu's imagination, there will be endless troubles after staying here.
He obviously knew the strength of the clan quite well, and when the time came, not only Song Qing would be in trouble, but he would also be unable to escape.
Song Qing nodded, Yao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly:
"Follow me."
He lives in Kyoto, and he gets involved with the people of the world, and obviously has his own way of hiding himself and avoiding the investigation of the world.
Song Qingxiao's eyes flashed, and after seeing that his body was agile and soaring like a monkey, he also let go of his divine sense and chased after him.
The man sped forward silently, avoiding the streets, and finally stopped in a remote alley, and slipped into a shop.
The shop looked very old from the outside, and it had the words 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' written on it.
With Song Qingxiao's divine sense, he naturally sensed that this shop was different from ordinary shops.
From the outside, this 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' is unremarkable, but after Yao Liuyi got in, he had no breath at all, and it is conceivable that this 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' may have hidden mysteries inside, which can block the prying eyes of the outside world.
It was not easy to do this, Yao Liu's entry and the prohibition of this place proved that this 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' was not an ordinary place.
Song Qingxiao only hesitated for a long time, and then followed into the pavilion.
She didn't expect that when she killed the people of the Fan family today, she would meet Yao Liu.
This person has a lot of connections with her, and they have teamed up twice during the trials.
During the expedition to Gu Mansion, she gave Yao Liudan, and in order to repay her, Yao Liu even gave her a golden cicada, which saved her life at a critical moment when she was chased and killed by Wei Zhi and Chu Yi that day.
It was precisely because of Yao Liu's reciprocal actions in the Gu Mansion that day that Song Qingxiao had a good impression of him.
Previously, after he temporarily rebelled and stopped the helper summoned by the Fan family, she didn't do it again.
At this time, even if he knew that the 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' was a little weird, because of the previous relationship with Yao Liu, Song Qingxiao would follow in.
Her move may seem risky, but it is also well thought out.
In addition to his trust in Yao Liu, Song Qingxiao also knows his strength.
Although her strength has been suppressed because of the cultivation of silver wolves, in fact, she has reached the realm of distraction, and she has two Xuantian-level spiritual treasures in her hands: the Zhutian Sword and the Qing Ying Order.
Although there are still strong people in the imperial capital, a top-level monk like Shi Qiuwu has been entangled by people from outside the sky, and he has no skills for a while.
The movement of the sea of stars will definitely trigger the powerful people of the imperial capital to dispatch, Wei Zhi, who escaped, and Gu Chunxing, who was specially let go by her, will definitely report their whereabouts outside the border gate to the council and their respective clans.
Although there are many masters in the Martial Arts Research Institute, once they are diverted, they are not afraid.
Therefore, after the people of the Fan family noticed that she had broken into the ancient mansion and felt that she was not easy to mess with, they called friends everywhere, and only called four 'helpers'.
In this way, even if Yao Liu has any ghost ideas, Song Qingxiao can't trap her with the hole cards in her hand.
As soon as she entered the 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion', she felt as if her divine sense had penetrated a layer of water in an instant, entering another small world.
It was deserted outside, and as soon as she entered, the sound of talking, laughter, and the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps all came to her ears.
Inside the 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion', it looks like an alternative bar.
It is about 100 square meters in size, and there are several small tables in the hall.
In the middle is a bar-like place, where a few people dressed in waiter costumes are busy, occasionally greeting familiar customers, as if this place were just a very ordinary meeting place in the Empire.
But unlike ordinary secular bars and other venues, these people here all have spiritual power fluctuations, and even those few service personnel have reached the Condensation Realm, and among the people present, the people who cultivate in the Dan Realm account for the majority, and there are even powerhouses in the Digital Infant Realm.
The inside of the 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' turned out to be a meeting place among cultivators.
Everyone seemed to pay no attention to her arrival, as if strange monks were often coming and going, and many of the people who talked did not even frown, as if they had not been interrupted by her intrusion.
Song Qingxiao listened carefully, but he didn't hear it very clearly.
There seems to be a strange prohibition here, which suppresses everyone's divine sense, so that the cultivators here cannot use their divine sense to probe the privacy of others.
It's just that Song Qingxiao's strength has reached the realm of distraction, and her divine sense is far stronger than that of ordinary distraction realm cultivators, so although she feels that her divine sense is suppressed, she is not as severely suppressed as others, and she can still vaguely hear the content of other people's conversations.
Her consciousness swept around, and the people here talked most about their own private affairs, and occasionally mentioned the world.
But judging from what these people are talking about, the people here should not have much to do with the world.
After listening to a few words and finding that it had nothing to do with her, she stopped snooping on other people's privacy, so as not to attract the attention of others.
Yao Liu, who came in earlier, sat in a corner, he was black and thin, not eye-catching in such a place, and after seeing Song Qingxiao at this time, he waved at her very vigilantly.
Song Qingxiao's figure flickered, and the figure disappeared on the spot, appearing on Yao Liu's side.
He saw Song Qingxiao pull out a chair and sit down, and couldn't help but show a look of relief.
"Would you like to drink some spiritual tea?" He asked, as if he was very familiar with this place: "The pavilion master of this 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' is not an ordinary person, and the people who entertain here are also 'loose cultivators' in the divine prison, and there are not many people from the world. β
Yao Liu briefly introduced the origin of this place, and at the same time pointed out the fact that this place was not within the sphere of influence of the Shi clan.
When she brought Song Qingxiao over, Yao Liu had already guessed that she probably had a lot of questions in her heart.
He is not from the world, but he is not unfamiliar with the name Song Qingxiao, but before that, he did not contact her with the trialist who cooperated with him twice in the Divine Prison.
After all, in the mouths of the people of the Martial Arts Research Institute, Song Qingxiao was lawless, not to mention breaking into the imperial city at night, but also arrogant, provoking the clan, stealing the 'dragon tooth' dagger, beheading the Fan clan, and finally being sanctioned by the parliament.
This incident made it difficult for Yao Liu to connect with Song Qingxiao, who was cautious and calm in the trial scene.
If it weren't for today's coincidence, Yao Liu probably wouldn't have dreamed that Song Qingxiao, who died in the council when Wei and Chu Er's clan joined forces, was actually an acquaintance who had dealt with him twice and had a good impression.
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head, and his lips moved slightly, as if he had transmitted a few words with his divine sense.
Not long after, a waiter came over with tea, water, melons, fruits and other things, Yao Liu smiled slightly, took out a few low-level paper talismans and rewarded them, and the waiter showed a smile of surprise on his face.
They were rewarded, and they knew that most of the guests who came here had something to say, so they didn't bother too much, and quickly withdrew.
As soon as the others left, Yao Liu took out a few small flags with extreme caution, and after stretching out his hand and shaking them, the small flags released bursts of spiritual mist, which quickly surrounded the two of them and isolated the sound of conversation from the outside world.
"This is a place for cultivators in the Divine Prison to rest for a while." Some private transactions, contacts and news can be found here.
In addition to the people of the world, most of the trialists in the Divine Prison are loners, unwilling to join a certain gate lord force and be controlled by others.
But sometimes some dangerous trial tasks also require everyone to work together.
Therefore, this 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' has set up such a place for these lone travelers to come and go privately, and people of the world generally do not look down on such a place, and generally do not come here unless there are special circumstances.
Everyone doesn't know who the owner of the 'Ancient Treasure Pavilion' is, but his strength is not weak.
At least Yao Yu has been discovering this place for more than ten years, and he has not seen anyone in trouble here, and even the people of the world seem to know such a place, but they turn a blind eye.
For Yao Liu, it is the most suitable place to talk.
"Should I call you No. 3, No. 1, or Song Qingxiao?"
He took a cup of tea, stared at Song Qingxiao and asked.
The hot air on the teacup rises, with bursts of tea fragrance, inhaling into the nasal cavity is refreshing, indescribably comfortable, obviously not an ordinary thing, this tea should have a little nourishing effect.
"Whatever." Song Qingxiao replied to him.
Today, she followed Yao Liu, not to catch up with him, but to ask him something.
"Then I'll call you Qingxiao." When Yao Liu heard her say this, he couldn't help but take a sip of tea, put it in his mouth for a moment, and then swallowed it into his stomach and let out a long sigh of relief:
"My name is Yao Yu."
The man he had plotted against before also called him Yao Yu, and when he was on an expedition to Gu Mansion that day, he called himself Yao Liu, and it seemed that Yao Yu had already wanted to befriend her earlier.
Song Qingxiao bowed slightly, "You helped me just now, aren't you afraid that the Martial Arts Research Institute will trouble you?" β
When Yao Yu heard her say this, he immediately grinned and showed a smile:
"That's not going to help."
He has dealt with Song Qingxiao twice, and he also knows a little about her strength and personality.
The first time the two escaped from the terrorist camp and cooperated, Song Qingxiao had already shown his strong strength and thoughtful character.
During the Gu Mansion expedition, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and compared to the horror camp, she was much more advanced.
He knew that Song Qingxiao was not an arrogant person, and he must be sure before acting.
At that time, she was surrounded by everyone, but her face did not change, she must have the confidence to easily kill these people.
"If I don't defect, I'm afraid I'll end up like them." Yao Yu took another sip of tea, "The ants are still stealing, I just made the right choice." β
He said that he was afraid of death very frankly, which made Song Qingxiao show a faint smile.
"What's more, you saved my life." During the expedition to Gufu, although he used the golden cicada shelling technique to save his life, at the last critical moment, he passed out due to his injuries.
Although it was neither No. 7 nor Chu Nu at that time, the target was not on him, but when he lost consciousness during the trial, the situation was extremely dangerous.
But Yao Yu finally completed the task successfully, not to mention, when he woke up, he left the trial space, and found that he was wearing a red shirt, so he knew that it should be because Song Qingxiao made a move at that time.
After Gu Fu's expedition entered the underground Chu Nu Tomb, there were only three survivors: No. 7, Song Qingxiao and Yao Yu.
At that time, the trial required 'a worthwhile trip', and Yao Yu in the Gu Mansion got nothing, that is to say, the trial at that time required a few people to divide the things of Chu Nu before they could really complete the task.
