Chapter 22: A Sudden Change
A quarter of an hour later, Ling Chen carried Li Jingxuan and ran through the forest, the terrible screams and the red clouds that filled the sky had been left behind, and there was only the gap between the trees in front of him and the other fire field that existed in the distance behind the gap between the trees. Without speaking, both of them understood that the fire was the destination of the two of them at the moment—another camp on the north side of the Holy Dao by the Outer Gate Commando of the Ancestral Spirit Palace.
"Can Brother Ling be faster?" Li Jingxuan asked Ling Chen in a low voice, but the hope in his eyes was clear at a glance.
"Quick? This is already the fastest...... After all, this is running through the woods, not in the sky. Ling Chen rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I also know that you are worried, but ...... There's really no way around it. ”
"Yes...... But ......" Li Jingxuan became anxious.
"No, but...... At most, after any accidents, you can do your best to take revenge!" Ling Chen said. He said it for granted, but the meaning was something that Li Jingxuan was unwilling to accept. For Li Jingxuan, the senior brothers of the same sect had already died enough, and now there were only four of them left in the Immortal Sect, and he didn't want any of them to be harmed.
"I don't want revenge. If I could, I would like to be able to reverse time and space, so that the master, uncle, uncle, and brother can all be alive...... No more of this sin. Li Jingxuan thought so. This was his deepest wish, but he also knew that it could only be a wish.
As the saying goes, space is king, and time is respected.
Reversing time and space is the strongest ability in the world, maybe it can be mastered, but being able to master the realm it requires is definitely not what Li Jingxuan can imagine right now. It was an existence far beyond the immortal level, and in the legends that Li Jingxuan knew, perhaps only the Hongjun Dao Ancestor who was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao in the mythology of his previous life could do this. That kind of realm is far above the saint, and it is an existence that Li Jingxuan can't match at the moment.
So, it's too early to say that's all this. All of this can only be kept as a thought, quietly in the heart, and left for later.
The key now is to rush to the north of the camp as soon as possible to support Senior Sister Lingyun who led the team to attack the north camp.
Originally, the distance between the south camp and the north camp was less than ten miles, and they could be reached quickly by flying swords. However, due to the ancient attachment of the holy path here to the will of the original saints, the holy path and its surrounding ten miles have formed a forbidden area, and any flying spells and artifacts will be invalid here.
If you want to fly through the Holy Dao Zone, unless you have a spirit beast that can carry people, and it must be a spirit beast of a relatively high level, almost like an immortal.
If you don't have a spirit animal, then you can only rely on your own body. Therefore, it is not far from the south camp to the north camp for ten miles, nor is it far, and it is not too close to say that it is close. Even if Ling Chen's strength at the peak of the Refining God Realm wanted to pass, it would take some time, and it would take even more time to bring Li Jingxuan here.
This is indeed a very troublesome thing, but Li Jingxuan has no choice. Although he could also let Ling Chen go to Beiying first to rescue his senior sister, he didn't do so in the end, because he had already heard about the other party's strength - there was actually a beginner master of the Baoyuan Realm named Tuosang in Beiying, which was not something that anyone could deal with casually. Even with Ling Chen's madness, he was reluctant to deal with him.
You must know that there is a saying that is widely circulated in the cultivation world: "Under the hug yuan, all ants are ants!"
Ling Chen was a master at the peak of the God Refining Realm, and he was said to be only a line away from the Baoyuan Realm, but this line seemed to be subtle, but to the cultivators who were in it, it was like a heavenly moat.
Although Tuosang only had the strength of Baoyuan's peak, Ling Chen was sure that if he made a move against him, he was afraid that he would be able to take it down without three moves.
Ling Chen is crazy, but he is not stupid. He came to save Li Jingxuan out of morality, but he would not put his name on it for the sake of morality.
At this time, he was willing to agree that Li Jingxuan would take him to Beiying to have a look, and it was nothing more than because the elders of the Qiantian Palace assured him that someone had already gone to Beiying to rescue, and the rescuer was also a master of the Baoyuan Realm.
With the help of the master of the Yuan Realm, he should be able to save the life of the little girl named Lingyun.
Ling Chen thought so, so he agreed to take Li Jingxuan to have a look. It's just that before going to see it, there are some things that should be said and things that should be prevented have to be talked to Li Jingxuan.
And so there is the above thing.
After all, although Ling Chen had said that someone would help, out of concern for his senior sister, Li Jingxuan's heart was worried when he didn't see his senior sister appear safely in front of him.
Ling Chen knew Li Jingxuan's worries, and he was also very cooperative in assisting Li Jingxuan to hurry.
After a quick run, Ling Chen finally took Li Jingxuan to the north camp of the Ancestral Spirit Palace.
However, they seem to be a step too late.
The fighting in the North Battalion has long been over. Greeting, Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen were full of scorched earth, the corpses and the heroes who seemed to be injured and couldn't move. These are all people who followed Lingyun to attack Beiying, and Li Jingxuan has met them, so he knows them.
At this moment, they are all still there, but Lingyun is nowhere to be seen. Judging by the scorched blackness of the camp, the large pit that appeared in the center of the camp and the cracks around the crater that were scattered like spider webs, it was already a fierce and unusual battle.
"It seems that we won the battle, but what about Senior Sister Lingyun, have you seen her?" asked Li Jingxuan, pulling the collar of a young man dressed in blue whose thigh had been cut off.
"Spirit...... Girl Lingyun has been captured by a strange person. The young man dodged Li Jingxuan's stern gaze, and Ai Ai replied.
"What?" Li Jingxuan was shocked. It was one of the last things he wanted to do, but he didn't want it to happen.
"Tell me what's going on!" Li Jingxuan asked anxiously.
"Actually...... Miss Lingyun has led us to attack the North Camp. After using Su Ma San, we had no problems. But when Tosang, a terrifying master like a demon god in the camp, appeared, the battle went in the worst direction. Fortunately, the Qingluo Elder of the Qianyuan Sect arrived in time and repelled Tosang, so that we finally established the victory...... However, I don't want a proud woman in her thirties to suddenly appear and snatch away Lingyun girl, saying that she wants to marry his son. Elder Qingluo chased after him on the spot...... The three of them galloped north. The young man replied with a bitter face.
"What? there could be such a thing?" Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen were both stunned by this.
"That woman, is she a person with a pointed chin, thick eyebrows, and a cinnabar mole on her forehead?" After being stunned for a while, Ling Chen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask.
"Seems so......" the young man nodded slightly.
"Damn...... It's actually that demon woman!" With his approval, Ling Chen's brows were not stretched, but tightly entangled.
"Demon woman, Brother Ling, do you know who that person is?" Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen heard some signs in their words, and immediately opened their mouths to ask.
"That's Zhu Xiuzhen of the Blazing Mountain Fuyun Cave, and she is one of the top ten peak masters in the world. She is now more than 300 years old, and she is a Taoist companion of Sha Haotian, the master of Fuyun Cave. She has a son named Sha He. Because she had a fetal gas with her enemies when she was pregnant, Sha He's appearance was somewhat deformed, and his qualifications were not very good. Sha Haotian and her raised a lot of elixirs in many ways, and only allowed Sha He to advance to the Qi Induction Realm at the age of one hundred and thirty...... Seeing that his life was coming to an end, but he was unable to break through to the refining of the gods, Zhu Xiuzhen was anxious because of this, so he moved the idea of finding a wife for Sha He and continuing the bloodline. Ling Chen sighed and explained to Li Jingxuan the identity of the person who had robbed Lingyun and why she was like this.
"If your senior sister falls into the hands of Zhu Xiuzhen...... That's a big problem. Ling Chen said.
"Why? Zhu Xiuzhen is just a master of the Yuan Realm, but the Qiantian Palace is an existence in the Spirit Realm. Li Jingxuan was very puzzled by this.
When he came over here, Ling Chen also told him about the situation today. Because of this, Li Jingxuan understood that in dealing with the destruction of the Immortal Sect, the righteous path of Yanzhou, headed by the Qiantian Palace, although each had its own purpose, was still on the side of the Immortal Sect after all.
Just like this time, when they heard that the Ancestral Spirit Hall was going to send someone to hunt down and kill them, they sent elders and outer disciples to look for them. They didn't seem to want the remnants of the Immortal Sect to be wiped out like this.
Since the Qiantian Palace would become the backer of a disciple of the Immortal Sect who escaped like himself to a certain extent, then Li Jingxuan naturally wanted to use the power of the Qiantian Palace to suppress the person from the Blazing Mountain Floating Cloud Cave.
However, in Ling Chen's opinion, this matter was simply impossible.
I saw him shake his head slightly: "It is unlikely that the Qiantian Palace will clash with the Blazing Mountain Floating Cloud Cave. You must know that although the number of people in the Fuyun Cave is small, there are many masters.
The five disciples of Sha Haotian, the master of the Floating Cloud Cave, are known as the Five Sons of the Floating Clouds, and each of them has the strength to refine the peak of the gods. If they want to say that they will be able to advance to Baoyuan tomorrow, I also believe .......
This is not the key, but even more importantly, Sha Haotian, the cave master of the Floating Cloud Cave, is himself a master of the Returning Spirit Realm, and his strength is only one line away from the Heavenly Palace Supreme Elder Wen Shi Zhenren.
Because of Sha Haotian, it is impossible for the Qiantian Palace to be hostile to the Floating Cloud Cave. After all, the righteous path of the human race has continued to this day, and I have never heard of the big bosses of the two major sects returning to the spirit realm being hostile to each other. Because that kind of hostility will cause a civil war among the Terrans. ”
"Wouldn't I ...... Do I have to sit and watch my senior sister being forced to marry?" Li Jingxuan was very annoyed by this: "The righteous path will also do such a thing, what kind of righteous path is that." ”
"Sometimes for the sake of the stability of the Terran itself, someone has to make a certain sacrifice. Who made us not the group of people who stood at the top?" Ling Chen sighed, "But the worst-case scenario may be like this, but maybe there will be some turnaround...... This mainly depends on the situation of the negotiations between the Qiantian Palace and the Fuyun Cave. ”
"How do you say it......" Li Jingxuan was puzzled.
"When the little things come to the big picture, there are always compromises...... transactions and so on...... The affairs of the bigwigs are not something we can question. Ling Chen spread his hands helplessly.
"Then I can only do this and watch?" Li Jingxuan asked unwillingly.
"You have to be patient...... Ling Chen nodded: "What the Qiantian Palace has done may not be so good, but it will definitely not be the worst, maybe things will take a turn for the better...... If you're really worried about your sister...... I think you can go to the Qiantian Palace and wait for the final result. ”
"Qiantian Palace, maybe I have to go there......" Li Jingxuan muttered to himself. Although he was also in a hurry to repair his left arm, Li Jingxuan did not put his own affairs above Lingyun's happiness. For his senior sister who has always cared for him, he regards him as his most important relative. He didn't want his senior sister to be forced to lose her life's happiness.
"Where is the Qiantian Palace going?Brother Ling, can you take me there?" Li Jingxuan looked at Ling Chen with expectation in his eyes.
"The Qiantian Palace is in the northeast of Yanzhou...... It's far from here. Do you really want to go straight over and not even care about your own safety? Ling Chen persuaded Li Jingxuan: "Think about it." There are not many people left in your Immortal Sect. Lingyun has such a thing, you still want to put yourself on the hook?"
"It's because there aren't a few people left, so I don't want to give up on anyone. Li Jingxuan has her own reasons for persevering: "Senior Sister Lingyun has been caring about me all the way, and now that she is in trouble, if I ignore it and still do my own thing, wouldn't I become a pig and a dog?"
"This ......" Ling Chen nodded slightly when he heard this, and he could be regarded as agreeing with Li Jingxuan's statement: "I'd rather bend than bend, boy, you have a bit of the spirit of a person in the righteous path." Okay, since you said so, then I'll accompany you to the Qiantian Palace. ”
At this moment, Ling Chen also made up his mind.
At that moment, the two decided to go north.
However, before the two of them could take a step, a thunderous voice with a hearty laugh exploded in their ears: "You guys...... What are you going to do in our Qiantian Palace?"
"We, are you the master of the Qiantian Palace?" Hearing this, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
"I, I'm Qiantian Palace Elder Qingqiu...... I heard that my junior brother Qingluo found a surviving disciple of the Immortal Sect here, so I came over to take a look...... As a result, I heard you talk about some things again. What's the matter? Do I have a place where people are unfair?" Qingqiu's words seemed to sound in a very distant place, and they seemed to be narrated in people's ears, and this contradiction of flickering distance and proximity was indeed shocking.
"Well...... It's a bit of a hassle. Ling Chen nodded. He was moved by Li Jingxuan's resoluteness, and naturally stood on Li Jingxuan's side at this moment.
"What's the trouble...... Tell me ...... face-to-face!"
As the last two "talk" voices in Qingqiu's voice fell, his figure suddenly appeared at the door of Beiying.
Li Jingxuan and Ling Chen stumbled, but they saw an old Taoist with short stature and gray hair appearing there. His appearance is not very clear, and he doesn't feel like a master with high skills, but like an old man playing tricks on the street, and he doesn't have the bearing of a so-called master at all.
However, neither Li Jingxuan nor Ling Chen dared to underestimate him because of this. After all, his name "Qingqiuzi of Qiantian Palace" is enough to explain everything.
