Chapter 54: The Forces Behind It
Yun Feng served the tea, handed it to Zhao Qing, and slowly told everything that had happened in the past few days when Zhao Qing disappeared, the more Zhao Qing listened, the more gloomy his face became, this matter seemed far from what it seemed, the destruction of the cave mansion was so simple.
After Zhao Qing was trapped by the red-shirted old man, Yan Yushui and the others hurried back to Haoyun Immortal Sect and told the upper echelons of Mixed Earth Peak the ins and outs of the matter. However, this matter did get the attention of the first seat of the Mixed Earth Peak and the first elders, and several elders immediately rushed to the place where the incident occurred.
But whether they value the life and death of Zhao Qing, a personal disciple, or the sudden appearance of a half-step demon king in the land of the human race, the reason for this may not be known to outsiders, but Zhao Qing has heard some agreements about people and demon clans from the mouth of the old man, so Zhao Qing just smiled coldly in his heart, and did not care too much. After all, the loss of a personal disciple is not a big deal, in comparison, the conjecture caused by the matter of the half-step demon king is far more important.
But when several elders rushed to the valley, there was only a messy battlefield left, and the radius of dozens of miles was destroyed to the point that it was not in shape, and they did not find any breath of the two half-step demon kings, in fact, by the time these elders arrived, the red-shirted old man had already disappeared and had been dead for a long time.
One of the elders really sneaked into the cold pool to check, but at that time, Han Tian relied on the power of the 'Heavenly Ice Crystal Flame' to cover everything at the bottom of the pool, and the elder sneaked into the bottom of the Qianzhang pool and searched carefully, but he didn't find any trace and hurriedly returned to the ground.
The elders unanimously believed at that time that Zhao Qing was taken away by the half-step demon king, but where was the captivity, where to look for the reckless desolate continent, and after carefully searching several times within a radius of hundreds of miles around the valley, no trace of Zhao Qing was found, and the matter was over, and several elders immediately returned to the sect.
At that time, some elders said that with the cultivation of Zhao Qingjindan's realm, it would be impossible to escape from the hands of a half-step demon king no matter what, although the Zhao Qing divine consciousness imprinted on the natal spirit card also said that Zhao Qing was alive, but in fact, it was almost the same as the name and death, it was better to take back the Qingfeng given to Zhao Qing and leave it for future disciples.
This proposal was even approved by most of the elders, seeing that Qingfeng was about to cease to exist, the first seat of the Mixed Earth Peak was opposed, he thought that since Zhao Qing was a disciple of the Mixed Earth Peak, he had already issued him a cave mansion that belonged to him, then this cave mansion should belong to Zhao Qing himself, as long as Zhao Qing was still alive, he should keep Qingfeng. Zhao Qing didn't commit such a big crime as betraying the sect and sentencing the sect, how could Qingfeng take it back at will without his permission, either wait until Zhao Qing comes back and continue to be in charge of Qingfeng, or wait for Zhao Qing's natal spirit card to shatter.
"Hmph, it seems that the wishful thinking of those elders this time was wrong, they thought that I Zhao Qing would not be able to come back, the will of heaven is unpredictable, no one would have thought that I Zhao Qing would come back so soon!" Zhao Qing said with a cold gaze and a calm tone.
Yun Feng could hear the anger surging in Zhao Qing's words, and the faint killing intent made him feel furious in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Alas, junior brother, you have to be calm, although the elders made this decision unreasonable, but the first seat is to suppress these proposals for you, you shouldn't do something stupid, right?"
Zhao Qing looked at Yun Feng with an anxious face, and said: "Don't worry, I understand the power of it, the elders can have this power, but I am afraid that there are other people who damage my Qingfeng, I will not swallow this breath, I will return it well." ”
Looking at Zhao Qing's resolute and resolute face, Yun Feng shook his head helplessly, and said, "It was Shang Jin who did it, he heard that after you were captured by the half-step demon king, he personally demolished Qingfeng together with another one. ”
Zhao Qing snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I had already guessed that it would be him, and there was another one, who was it?"
"Speaking of that person and we also have a relationship, it is we who met at the top of the smoke peak, junior brother, you have also fought with the two of him a few times, that person's name is Hu Da, that day after losing face in the hands of the junior brother, he has been haunted, after the news of the junior brother's accident spread, he was instigated by Shang Jinli's words, and it was he who smashed the Qingfeng Peak Monument. ”
"Huda! It turned out to be him, these two things who don't know how to live or die dare to spread wild on my head, it is true that I can't die when I die. Zhao Qing's eyes were murderous, gloomy and terrifying.
"Senior brother, listen to me, this matter is not so simple, do you think that just because the two of them dare to defy the order of the first seat, you Qingfeng are messing around, and there are other forces behind them!" Yun Feng whispered an inside story again.
Zhao Qing frowned, after he arrived at the Mixed Earth Peak, only Shang and Hu were the only ones who could be offended, when did they offend other forces, listening to Yun Feng's explanation, it seems that the power behind these two people is not small. couldn't help but be very puzzled, and asked, "I haven't offended anyone else, who is supporting them?"
"Senior brother, you also know that it is not so calm among our pro-disciples, and there are also undercurrents surging among them, and there are many things that take the opportunity to suppress and exclude dissidents and take the opportunity to win over forces, especially among the top ten pro-descendants, the most powerful ones are fighting openly and secretly. ”
"The top 10 pro-lineage disciples?" Zhao Qing seemed to understand something, nodded lightly, and listened to Yunfeng's speech.
"That's right, the ten pro-disciples have cultivated extraordinary, and they have been attracted among the rest of the disciples in order to increase their own strength and appeal, which has a great relationship with whether they can compete for the first seat of the Mixed Earth Peak in the future, the temptation of the first peak is too great, and no one can resist it, so they will bless the people who take refuge in their own side and give the greatest protection to those who take refuge in themselves. ”
When Zhao Qing heard this, he suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that there is such a complicated relationship in this, senior brother don't say it, I really can't imagine that the so-called forces behind it are them, senior brother means that Shang Jinli and the two dare to destroy my Qingfeng, just because there is one of the top ten disciples behind them." ”
Yun Feng nodded and said, "Yes, each of the top ten disciples is an extraordinary person with extraordinary strength and extraordinary qualifications, and the first seat of the Mixed Earth Peak in the future must be competed among the ten of them, so the sect attaches great importance to them, and they usually turn a blind eye to their actions." ”
"Understood!" Zhao Qing stood up and said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, and Yun Feng couldn't see through what he was thinking at the moment.
Zhao Qing slowly walked outside the door, looked up at the sky, the warm light shone on his slightly thin face, and after half a sound, he said faintly: "But I, Zhao Qing, is not dead, Qingfeng belongs to me, I don't care what kind of power he has taken refuge into, I will come back with this account, how to destroy me Qingfeng I will destroy his cave mansion, even if the ten major disciples come forward to stop it, I will not buy it, senior brother, do you understand me?" Although the voice was slight, what he said was categorical and awe-inspiring, and an unshakable obsession rose.
Although tens of thousands of people are hindered, one person will go alone! Zhao Qing made up his mind, no matter what the consequences of this field were, he would find it back, even if he attracted the top ten disciples to make a move, he was already not afraid. Thinking of this, the anger that was originally surging in his heart gradually subsided, and his face calmed down, but the overflowing murderous aura almost turned into a substantial light, and the surrounding air seemed to become a little darker. Under the calm and peaceful outside, there is a more blazing anger and hatred, and someone dares to do anything wrong when someone supports him, stepping on Zhao Qing's head, since this is the case, he will beat the dog first, and when the master comes out to take care of it, he will hit the master again.
Yunfeng also stood up, walked behind Zhao Qing and heard this, he originally wanted to persuade something, but seeing Zhao Qing's resolute and resolute look, knowing that Zhao Qing had made up his mind, it was difficult to persuade him, and patted Zhao Qing's shoulder vigorously and said: "Senior brother understands, I won't dissuade you anymore, senior brother will go with you, it's a big deal to face the wall and think about it for a few years." ”
Zhao Qing felt a trace of warmth rise in his heart, looking at Yun Feng's slightly pale cheeks, although he didn't say how his injury came about, but Zhao Qing faintly guessed that it might be when Shang Jinli destroyed Qingfeng, Yun Feng went to stop it, but he was injured instead, Yun Feng didn't say it, just to not let Zhao Qing worry.
"Maybe on this Mixed Earth Peak, only Yun Feng will really care about himself!" Zhao Qing turned around and smiled faintly, patted Yun Feng's shoulder vigorously, and nodded with a smile.
"Go to Shang Jinli first, I want to demolish his cave mansion, and beat this dog first, so that I can slowly draw out the owner of the dog!" Zhao Qing and the two jumped up, erecting a cloud, Yun Feng's injuries in his body had not healed, and the speed was not fast, but under the drive of Zhao Qing, it was a little faster than before.
Leading Zhao Qing all the way, Yun Feng, who was standing beside Zhao Qing, gradually became frightened, at this moment Zhao Qing's breath he felt most clearly, the use of the round earth line true qi gushing out, turned into a layer of earth line true gang protection around, Zhao Qing's cultivation in this missing half a month, suddenly improved to a realm that he could not see, far more than before, and even in the vague induction, Yun Feng felt that Zhao Qing at this moment was far more terrifying and unpredictable than Senior Brother Li Sha who was at the gate of the mountain to guide the disciples.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Zhao has already arrived" Li Sha's cultivation has already stepped into the Jindan Sixth Heaven and reached the middle rank, but at this moment, Zhao Qing seems to be more unfathomable than Li Sha, and Yun Feng's thoughts are confused.
Shang Jinli's cave mansion was on the other side, and there were other disciples' caves in the middle, and Zhao Qing and the others galloped all the way, coming to Shang Jinli's cave mansion like lightning.
Zhao Qing landed on the side of his peak monument, his eyes did not flicker without a trace of emotion, the corners of his mouth smiled coldly, and he raised his palm to slash directly at the peak monument.
"Boom" There was a loud bang, the entire cave was shaken, and the huge peak monument was directly smashed by Zhao Qing's palm, turning into debris one after another, stirring up the dust in the sky, and alarming the rare birds flying around for a while, the majestic air wave overturned all the surrounding trees, and the huge roar was mixed with the chirping of countless rare birds, resounding through the void.
"Who dares to come to my place to spread wilderness!" a gloomy voice came from the main hall at the top of the peak, and a figure appeared in the square outside the hall as soon as the voice fell.
Zhao Qing walked through the flying dust and stepped forward step by step, the heavy footsteps like a dull drum, beating the moving sound of uneasiness.
"I'm here to ask for a debt!" Zhao Qing said word by word, like a killing god, sweeping through the sky with a cold and bone-chilling murderous aura, the earthy aura landed infinitely beside him, rising a vast wave of qi.
"I hope you can afford to pay off your debts!"
It was Shang Jinli who appeared in the square, he was originally angry, but when he saw the face of the person who came, he couldn't help but change his face and take a breath fiercely, and the hairs on his body were pierced by an inexplicable coldness, he couldn't believe what he saw in his eyes, and said in surprise: "It's you! Aren't you dead?"
