Qing Xuan Ling'er on the side heard her father's words, and she was also noncommittal. Her vision was also extremely high, and when she saw the previous scene, she was very convinced that it was only a matter of time before Xiao Che entered the Supreme Realm.

At this time, Xiao Che broke through to the Venerable Realm, but when he looked at Qing Xuan Ling'er, his face also changed. In the past, he was only in the Heaven Realm, although he knew how powerful she was when he fought with Ling'er, but he really didn't know how powerful it was.

But now he has advanced to the Venerable realm, although he is only a junior Venerable. But the feeling that Ling'er gave him was even more unfathomable, let alone Qing Xuance. It turned out that he couldn't sense Qing Xuance's spiritual power fluctuations at all. But now he can vaguely feel that facing Qing Xuance is like facing a starry sky, boundless.

The day went by.

The next day, Xiao Che was still fighting with Qing Xuan Ling'er, and because of the breakthrough, Xiao Che was very different from before. The comprehension of Haoran's righteous swordsmanship is more thorough. I saw that Xiao Che's sword looked erratic, but in fact it was fatal.

This made Qing Xuan Ling'er not as easy to deal with as before. Despite this, Qingxuan Ling'er relied on her stronger spiritual power to directly crush Xiao Che. This made Xiao Che want to cry without tears. However, from Ling'er's attack method, Xiao Che also understands a truth better. Absolute strength is king.

One force to ten will be a far-reaching and unchanging truth.

However, this refers to the fact that when there is an essential difference in the strength gap between the two people, in the face of the same level, it is still to see who has stronger comprehensive strength, which is indispensable for the comprehension of exercises, spiritual skills, and even spiritual weapons.

In the past few days, in addition to consolidating his own cultivation, Xiao Che is fighting against Qingxuan Ling'er. In the process of fighting with it, Xiao Che also realized a new sword move, which is simply entangled. In the past, Xiao Che often heard that softness overcomes rigidity.

Originally, he didn't think it was reliable. But in the past few days, Xiao Che suddenly discovered that if he responded to Ling'er's attack in an entangled way, although he was still defeated in the end, he could still last longer, which made Xiao Che happy for this discovery.

This is easier said than done, especially when the difference between the two cultivation is too great, Xiao Che must ensure that every move can be dealt with accurately, which makes Xiao Che's sword moves more and more subtle.

Qing Xuan Ling'er's feelings are particularly profound, after fighting against Xiao Che for so many days, she can clearly feel that Xiao Che is improving every day, although she has never won once, it is because her cultivation is too high.

If you let yourself be replaced by Xiao Che, I'm afraid you won't be able to do something like Xiao Che. This made her admire Xiao Che.

Qing Xuance didn't teach Xiao Che martial arts, according to him, martial arts were all comprehended by himself, and all the master could do was to guide. This made Xiao Che also very much agree. Many people learn from their masters, thinking that they can learn more exercises and spiritual skills from their masters. In fact, it is not advisable. Many masters will only teach their disciples spiritual techniques. Actually, it's stupid.

A really good master focuses on each disciple's talent and does not teach them anything, but guides them to comprehend it themselves. After all, the power you can control is the most reliable.

Qing Xuance is undoubtedly a very good master. Xiao Che would take the initiative to ask him if he had any questions, but Qing Xuance never expressed any opinion on Xiao Che's cultivation. The path of a warrior can only be walked out by himself.

The reason why Qing Xuan Ling'er has such cultivation and a good sense of battle at such a young age is that in addition to her own talent, it is more because of Qing Xuance's guidance since childhood.

One month after Xiao Che broke through the Venerable Realm. Xiao Che finally told Qing Xuance that he wanted to travel, and he was going to Black Rock City to see Grandpa Xiao in the crystal coffin. Regarding Grandpa Xiao and the old man of Xiangcheng Sage Academy, Xiao Che did not hide anything from Qing Xuance, but told the matter as it was.

Knowing this, Qing Xuance was also very surprised that Xiao Che actually had these bumpy experiences. However, Qing Xuance seemed to have some guesses about the old man of the Sage Academy mentioned by Xiao Che, but he didn't tell Xiao Che, but just told Xiao Che that this old man was not simple.

Xiao Che didn't understand Qing Xuance's words very well, but Qing Xuance didn't explain anything, he knew that maybe there was something he didn't know.

But for that old man, Xiao Che was grateful in his heart. If it weren't for him, I am afraid that I would not know about Grandpa Xiao. For Xiao Che, no one is more important than Grandpa Xiao in his heart. There is no news, and Xiao Che is even more happy than the fact that Grandpa Xiao may still be alive.

For Xiao Che, Grandpa Xiao not only has the grace of saving his life and nurturing him, but he is also his dearest person.

Listening to Xiao Che talking about herself, Qing Xuan Ling'er cried. She never thought that Xiao Che's life experience would be so pitiful. Thinking that he grew up under the love of his parents and brother since he was a child, he couldn't help but feel even more pity for Xiao Che.

Seeing Qing Xuan Ling'er crying, Xiao Che was also very embarrassed. He didn't expect that his own experience would give rise to such emotions for the little girl.

Qing Xuan Ling'er clamored to follow Xiao Che, but Xiao Che and Qing Xuan couldn't resist her, so they had to agree. This made the little girl very happy.

Seeing her crying for a while and laughing for a while, Qing Xuance and Xiao Che both smiled helplessly.

The next day, Xiao Che returned to his appearance under the pseudonym "Xiao Yuan". went to Black Rock City with Ling'er.

Now Xiao Che's cultivation has been greatly improved, and his travel speed is also extremely fast, along the way, except for the necessary rest, Xiao Che and Ling'er hardly stop in any city. Although Ling'er really wanted to play, she knew how important Grandpa Xiao was to Xiao Che. Follow Xiao Che obediently.

This made Xiao Che very grateful. He decided that after this matter was completed, he would definitely compensate Ling'er well, and he would accompany Ling'er to other countries. This idea had actually been brewing in Xiao Che's mind for a long time. Now that he has broken through to the Venerable Realm, when the affairs of the Xuan Gang on the empire's side are dealt with, he will go to the coast of the East China Sea.

However, Xiao Che didn't know at this time that many things would not develop in the direction he thought. Fate is impermanent, and this is practical for anyone.

The two of them traveled all the way, and soon reached the boundary of Black Rock City.

On this day, Xiao Che and Ling'er arrived at a small town to which Black Rock City belongs. Xiao Che used to be here. Last time he was here, Xiao Che knew very well that the security here was not very good. Out-of-towners can throw something away just by walking around. Fights and brawls are even more common. But now that the security here is surprisingly good, everyone has changed a lot.

"Old man, our town is doing well now. Xiao Che saw a blind old man with an erhu and gave him a few red spirit coins.

"Yes, it turns out that our town is very chaotic, in recent years, the city lord has been replaced by the Liu family, Liu Qing City Lord is a powerful big man, and in just two years, our Black Rock City has been thriving. The old man usually didn't talk to him, but when he heard Xiao Che ask, he also became talkative.

"This Liu City Lord is so powerful. Seeing that Liu Qing governed Black Rock City so well, Xiao Che was also very happy in his heart.

From Xiao Che's expression, Ling'er on the side knew that this Liu City Lord had a close relationship with Xiao Che.

Xiao Che and Ling'er didn't want to stay in the town, but Xiao Che knew a good restaurant, and Ling'er was very happy to hear that she could eat delicious food.

Xiao Che and Ling'er ordered a large table of food, and Ling'er was very happy to eat this meal.

Soon the two of them left this place, and arrived in Black Rock City in an hour.

The current patrol of Blackstone City is very strict. As soon as Xiao Che entered the city, Liu Qing got the news.

She knew that Xiao Yuan was Xiao Che's pseudonym.

Soon Xiao Che and Ling'er were invited to the City Lord's Mansion.

When he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Qing personally took Xiao Che to the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Xiao Che, who is this girl?" Liu Qing's words carried a lot of jealousy.

Xiao Che is not stupid, he can naturally hear it.

"This is Ling'er, my junior sister. After Xiao Che finished speaking, he glanced at Ling'er, only to see that Ling'er was glaring at him fiercely.

Xiao Che was also slightly embarrassed. However, Ling'er didn't say anything.

"This is Sister Liu Qing, hello, I'm Ling'er. As she spoke, the two women stared at each other as if they were demonstrating.

Xiao Che hurriedly pulled the two apart.

Fortunately, there is no one else here, otherwise if you see the resolute city lord Liu Qing will be such a little girl, I am afraid that I will be shocked.

Soon Xiao Che changed back to his original appearance. This made Liu Qing stunned. Xiao Che also explained to her that it was because he broke through the realm. Knowing that Xiao Che was now in the Venerable Realm, Liu Qing's heart was even more shocked. In a small city like Black Rock City, the Venerable Realm is rare. Because of the city qualifying, Blackstone City now has a lot of resources.

It has gradually developed into a medium-sized city. The current population of Blackstone City is more than five million. It was five times more than the original, and this was the result of Liu Qing's great efforts. Otherwise, it would be easy to have a population of more than 10 million.

In Qingxuan, only a population of more than 100 million can be called a big city. The population of medium-sized cities is in the tens of millions, while the population of small cities is in the millions. A population of less than one million can only be called a town.

The county where Blackstone City is located is called Nanshan County because it is close to the Barren Mountain Range. This is the southernmost county of the Empire. The King of Nanshan County is also a well-known Supreme Realm powerhouse in the Qingxuan Empire.

It can be regarded as Liu Qing's direct boss of these city lords. But in fact, except for the county town meeting once every five years, they couldn't see the king of Nanshan at all. The independence of each city is still very strong. This gave the lord of the castle considerable power.

In the past two years, Liu Qing's cultivation has also reached the Hetian Realm. Although it can't be compared with super geniuses like Xiao Che and them, in fact, among his peers, Liu Qing's cultivation talent is also very good.

"In the past two years, I have listened to you, and I have openly established the Black Rock City Law Enforcement Team to manage the security of the city, and secretly set up a supervision office that is completely controlled by me to supervise the entire Black Rock City. Now Blackstone City has been built into an impregnable wall. Fortunately, I didn't live up to your expectations. Only in front of Xiao Che will Liu Qing show her soft side as a woman.

Although Liu Qing didn't say a word of hard work, Xiao Che also knew how much pressure Liu Qing had been under in the past two years as a woman. This made him feel grateful, but more of a sense of guilt.

"Over the years, I've suffered you. Xiao Che took Liu Qing's hand and said sincerely.

Hearing Xiao Che say this, Liu Qing couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost burst into tears. Hearing Xiao Che say this, Liu Qing felt that everything was worth it.

"By the way, there is another thing, in recent years, there has been a rapid rise of an underground force, this force is called the dark web, I have investigated many times, only found that the leader is named Chen Dong, and I don't know anything else. This force has shown signs of infiltrating Blackstone City several times, but I have blocked it back. Liu Qing talked about such a thing, and when Xiao Che heard Chen Dong's name, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

He was wondering if this Chen Dong was his good brother.

Seeing that Xiao Che was deep in thought, neither Liu Qing nor Qing Xuan Ling'er made a sound to disturb. After a while, Xiao Che made a decision.

"This Chen Dong you are talking about is probably one of my brothers, so you can find a way to pass my name to him and see how he reacts. Saying that, Xiao Che told Liu Qing the way.

Hearing Xiao Che say that Chen Dong might be an old man, Liu Qing was also very surprised. If it is really as Xiao Che said, it is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple.

Anyway, she still gave him a try according to what Xiao Che said.

In this way, Xiao Che and Qing Xuan Ling'er secretly lived in the City Lord's Mansion. No one in the entire City Lord's Mansion knew that there were already two more people here.

After getting along for a few days, what Xiao Che didn't expect was that Liu Qing and Ling'er, who originally didn't like each other, soon became friends, and the two put on makeup together on the street and bought a lot of miscellaneous things together.

The two would talk for a long time about a piece of fabric, and more often than not, they would completely avoid Xiao Che chatting about gossip. This made Xiao Che incomprehensible, the woman was really a strange creature.

The topic that the two talked about, Xiao Che could not be mixed in, and he did not want to be involved, so more time, Xiao Che cultivated alone.

This made the two women call Xiao Che a "cultivator". But they were just teasing, no wonder Xiao Che was making progress so quickly. Xiao Che's talent aside, his focus and diligence played an important role.

Liu Qing passed Xiao Che's name to the dark web through the Supervision Department. When the mysterious leader of the dark web learned the name Xiao Che, his subordinates were extremely excited when they saw him, they didn't understand how the always calm leader could have such emotions.

Soon, without any hesitation, Chen Dong decided to secretly go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet Liu Qing.

For this city lord, Chen Dong also admired it very much. All along, Chen Dong's dark web development has been smooth, until Blackstone City. Chen Dong tried his best, but he couldn't successfully insert the eyeliner into Black Rock City.

He was also very curious about this powerful and domineering female city lord.

The next day, when it came to the appointed time, Chen Dong arrived as promised.

What they didn't expect was that Chen Dong didn't bring anyone and came alone.

This made Liu Qing a little more curious about this person.

I saw that Chen Dong was wearing a black robe, and even his face was half covered. During the day, it was not good for him to come directly to the door, but at the appointed time in the evening, he kept the appointment so far.

In the innermost courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Che also returned to his original appearance, and Ling'er and Liu Qing were playing chess in the courtyard.

The inside of the hospital is exceptionally bright, and the moon outside the hospital is dark and windy. After a while, only listening to the rustle of leaves, Xiao Che and the three of them were alert at the same time. The person who came was none other than Chen Dong.

Chen Dong saw Xiao Che in the courtyard at a glance. Chen Dong was a little emotional. Xiao Che also suddenly felt that this person must be Chen Dong.

At this time, Liu Qing walked over, and Chen Dong also took the initiative to greet Liu Qing.

At this time, Chen Dong and Liu Qing met for the first time. We were very impressed with each other.

Chen Dong took off the black robe that covered his head. What is revealed is an angular face.

Xiao Che took out the prepared refreshments. The four of them ate and chatted in the courtyard.

"Brother Che, seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved to be a brother. After staying here, I had the idea of forming a force. Otherwise, I would not have been able to take revenge on my own. Saying that, Chen Dong and Xiao Che talked about their experiences over the years.

"Don't worry, big brother, I have already found out everything about your enemy. I've not been unprepared all these years, and I have a brother named Wu Xiong in Huacheng. His experience is very similar to yours, and now he is doing a good job in Huacheng, and when the time comes, our brothers will take revenge together. By the way, the Xuan Gang, which has been in a rage recently, is also one of the ten leaders. After listening to Chen Dong talk about his experience, Xiao Che also told Chen Dong in detail about his events over the years.

Hearing that Xiao Che has been so thrilling over the years, Chen Dong is also emotionally fluctuating. This is rare in Chen Dong. He really treats Xiao Che as a brother, so that's why he does it.

Liu Qing, Xiao Che, and Chen Dong are now the leaders of a force, and they talked endlessly about these things, but Ling'er was not interested in this, and soon went back to the house to sleep.

Chen Dong never knew that the female city lord of Black Rock City was so young, a few years younger than himself. In the past, he had only heard of Liu Qing's name, but only when he actually saw it did he know that Liu Qing was more charming.

The three of them stayed up all night, talking about the whiteness of the sky.

After a night of talking, Chen Dong and Liu Qing also reached an agreement. The power of the dark web does not enter the scope of Black Rock City, but Liu Qing fully supports Chen Dong's dark web to continue to grow. According to Xiao Che's suggestion, Chen Dong's dark web continued to develop to the periphery of the empire, eventually forming a pattern from the border to the center of the empire.

Chen Dong also promised Xiao Che to go back and list the detailed plan, and then come to discuss with Xiao Che and Liu Qing. Xiao Che informed Chen Dong that he would stay in the City Lord's Mansion in the near future, and Chen Dong would come over at any time. And Liu Qing also left an imprint on Chen Dong to be able to contact him directly.

Today is Chen Dong's happiest day in several years. Although his face was not too obvious, it made his heart warm all of a sudden.

From that day on, the dark web was no longer developing as carefully as before, but developing extremely rapidly. With the covert support of Blackstone City, the power of the dark web soon spread all over the surrounding area. And with the secret help of the dark web, Blackstone City has also steadily absorbed foreign populations. In recent days, Black Rock City has absorbed more and more foreign population, and there are indeed many unknown people among them.

However, it was all found under the eyes of the Ombudsman and the dark web. This allowed Liu Qing and Chen Dong to taste the benefits of a close alliance between the two sides.

Liu Qing and Chen Dong have also heard a lot about the Xuan Gang, and their power naturally cannot be compared with the Xuan Gang, and the development model of the Xuan Gang is not suitable for them, but there are also things that can be used for reference.
