Lin Qi temporarily said goodbye to Qiu Qingnian and the people of the Western caravan, and re-embarked on the road to find the traces of the Heavenly Demon Gate of another force, after all, it was about the ancient beasts, and Lin Qi only felt that he couldn't just sit idly by.

In this regard, Hua Qiyuan also made a choice, she has decided to completely dissociate herself from the Heavenly Demon Gate again, even if Hua Wuxue is his grandfather, this time she does not plan to change her mind, after all, she has served in the Heavenly Demon Gate for so many years, has done so many things for him, and suffered so much, it is enough to repay his kindness.

What's more, this time the people who Hua Wuxue handed over to her have also been wiped out, and in the face of Lin Qi, who is still powerful after returning, these small characters have no power to fight at all, and she Hua Qiyuan can't change anything, all of them have come to this point, and they can only be regarded as benevolent and righteous, maybe this is the destiny of heaven, which cannot be changed.

As for Gu Tianhong, the leader of the sand thieves, after being caught, he also asked for the details, it turned out that this person was also from the righteous path before, but because the Heavenly Master Dao was expanding, the disciples used some methods that could not be put on the table, which caused many small sects to be almost devastated, and this sect where Gu Tianhong was located was also one of them, which led to today's disagreement and caused today's evil consequences.

But even so, Lin Qi felt that this was not a reason for a person to do evil, and when the leader was arrested, the sand thieves also dispersed, Lin Qi didn't think that they would stop there, but these things were no longer within the scope of his control.

For those affairs back then, Ling Xiyu didn't have any hands, and he had no way of knowing, so he naturally couldn't make a judgment, after all, he only listened to one side, and he couldn't explain anything, so he tied him up with several Heavenly Demon Sect disciples, handed him over to the same sect of the Heavenly Master Dao to take back to the Mountain Gate, and handed it over to the head of the sect.

Therefore, Hua Qiyuan and Ling Xiyu followed Lin Qi, but they looked for the traces of the Heavenly Demon Gate, with the help of Hua Qiyuan, this process will indeed become much more convenient, but on Ling Xiyu's side, Lin Qi didn't plan to let him follow, but Lin Qiao couldn't help Ling Xiyu's persistence, so he let it go.

Moreover, on the body of the Heavenly Demon Gate and others, Ling Xiyu also specially added a ban to prevent these people from misdoing things, although this prohibition is not good to restrict people's actions, but it firmly seals the true yuan of the sea of qi, any act of mobilizing the true qi will cause severe pain in the internal organs, and except for Ling Xiyu himself using the magic power of broken snow cold, others cannot be unlocked at all, so that there is no need to worry about any accidents in the process of escorting.

It was also because of this that Lin Qi finally agreed to let Ling Xiyu go with him.

......

In the desert, apart from the endless yellow sand, there is only the scorching sun, and in this kind of dead place, even stones are very scarce, not to mention plants.

The wind blew, the yellow sand was raised, and the footprints left by Fang Cai were completely erased immediately, plus there were too few places to identify, and it was very difficult to track others in such a place, but after having Hua Qiyuan, it became completely different, there were few identification objects, and there were very few places that could be used to make markers, and in the Heavenly Demon Gate, they also had their own unique marking system, because of this, Lin Qi and the others, with the help of Hua Qiyuan, had also accurately grasped the movements of the other party, and according to Hua Qiyuan, they were getting closer and closer to this group。

Ling Xiyu and Hua Qiyuan did have a few faces, and naturally knew the identity of the other party, so she was also very surprised to see her here, she didn't know that Hua Qiyuan had returned to the ordinary, and lived an ordinary life with Ma Zhanpeng, but even if she was suspicious, but Lin Qi said that it didn't matter, she didn't ask more, after all, one more friend is better than one more enemy.

Besides, she still trusts Lin Qi very much, both in terms of quality and strength.

"Lin Qi, what kind of realm have you reached now?"

Today's Ling Xiyu is far from being comparable to the past, under the guidance of her mentor Zhang Shenlu, she is now the peak of the nine grades, and in addition to the rare cold physique, her strength is even higher, and it is only one step away from the realm of the grandmaster, although this step now seems to be close to the end of the world, but no one can guarantee that one day Ling Xiyu will suddenly see through the essence of the grandmaster, achieve transcendent sanctification, and become a new grandmaster.

For cultivation, Ling Xiyu can be said to be extremely confident, even if he is no longer young, but at this age, it is rare to have such cultivation, looking at the world, but when he saw Lin Qi, he had already found that the other party was unfathomable, especially the breath released from Lin Qi's body, calm and indifferent, natural and introverted, just like an ordinary person, there was no fireworks at all, even when he did it before, it was the same.

Ling Xiyu had naturally seen many strong people, not to mention that his own master was a grandmaster-level master, but Ling Xiyu had never seen someone like Lin Qi.

"Realm, how to say it, it's still the same. ”

Hearing Lin Qi say this, Ling Xiyu stopped asking, she obviously knew that Lin Qi would not explain it to her, and she would not believe such words.

After all, ten years ago, when she saw Lin Qi for the last time, he already had the strength of eight or nine grades, and soon after, he was on the grassland, among the ten thousand armies, and took the life of the grandmaster Shan Yu, although according to the master, Lin Qi was with the help of the army, not in the one-on-one competition, and could not be used as a criterion for judging strength, but even so, Lin Qi, who can make such an achievement, will never be too bad, so when Lin Qi said that his realm has not improved, I believe that no one will agree.

"Sister Ling, I have a request, I don't know if you can take me on a trip to the Heavenly Master Dao after this incident is over? ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiyu was stunned, and his expression suddenly became a little gloomy at this time.

"I've heard about the Tianshan Mountains, at that time, the teacher did not hesitate to put down his body for me, to grab the heart of the qin, and it was difficult for you to do this, speaking of which, it is indeed me, it is my teacher who is ashamed of you, so you want to avenge yourself this time, so you specially want to go up the mountain with me?"

"Hmm...... Let's just say the same thing. ”

Hearing Ling Xiyu's question, Lin Qi smiled slightly, but he didn't expect to admit it directly.

"Actually, I can understand the mood of the respected teacher at that time, calling it me, maybe I will do the same, but to say that I am really for revenge, in fact, it is just an excuse, after all, most of the grievances back then have faded for me now. ”

Lin Qi smiled freely, and Ling Xiyu was fascinated.

"However, when I was in the caravan, I heard about the battle between the Venerable Master and the Sword God Zhang's senior, so I suddenly had an idea and wanted to compare it with the Venerable Master. Now if I want to go further, I have to be tempered by a strong enough opponent, I think Zhang Shenlu's old-timers are the best choice?"

"Why do you say that, it's because my mentor lost the battle with Zhang Xiao, so you feel confident that you can win him?" Lin Qi's words did make Ling Xiyu a little puzzled.

"I don't mean to underestimate the master, because even if he loses the competition, it's just a competition, in my opinion, the old-timers are still one of the best in the world. Lin Qi's expression was very relaxed, and what he said was also very indifferent, without a trace of lying, "I want to compete with the old-timers, in addition to the fact that it is more convenient because of Sister Ling's relationship with you, another reason is the ability to respect the master, after all, he can be regarded as the oldest sword cultivator in the world!"

"And I've been in the Western Regions for ten years, and I just sharpened a sword before I returned, so I also hope to get the guidance of the old-timers!"

Ten years of sharpening a sword?

Ling Xiyu looked at Lin Qi, he didn't carry any sword weapons around him, so he also knew that Lin Qi was referring to something else.
