Chapter 1034: Don’t think of eating alone!
The young man's voice was filled with anxiety. The moment he entered the blood mist, he ignored his own safety and charged in.
At the same time, the cultivators and guards under his command also unleashed their battle prowess.
These guards were all personal guards that the young man's family had arranged for him. Their cultivation bases were extraordinary, and there were many of them. Although the blood mist was extraordinary, they still couldn't withstand it.
In the next moment, a thunderous boom rang out, and the blood mist exploded as if it had been slapped by a giant, invisible hand.
It shattered into pieces, and a gust of wind seemed to sweep it away.
Three silhouettes were revealed!
One was Ming Dong. Her face was cold and filled with a murderous aura. She was performing an incantation gesture, and the fluctuations of an Immortal spell spread out.
The other was a black-faced corpse puppet that was about seven or eight years old. It stood opposite Ming Dong, and they formed a pincer attack. It was cooperating with Ming Dong to bind Master Xue Chen.
The Immortal spells from Ming Dong and the corpse puppet had turned into a large number of seven-colored threads that had enveloped Master Xue Chen. Some of them were even connected to his fate.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Master Xue Chen was refined by the Immortal spells.
Master Xue Chen was also struggling, but it didn't do much.
However … the sudden change in the outside world and the thunderous booms caused the blood mist to collapse, and it also affected the refinement that was going on here.
The gust of wind was originally meant to disperse the people fighting here. It was the young man in the luxurious robe who was trying to save Master Xue Chen.
But now … by a freak combination of factors, it had become Master Xue Chen's life-saving wind.
In the blink of an eye, Master Xue Chen's struggle increased dramatically. His cultivation base erupted, and he didn't hesitate to destroy two of his great worlds to create a destructive force that swept out in all directions.
The anxious voice of the young man in the luxurious robe caused Er Niu's eyes to widen, and her mind to tremble. Her mind seemed to be thrown into chaos, and the threads of the Immortal spell began to fluctuate!
In the next moment, the corpse puppet that was cooperating with her was also affected. Its body trembled, and the threads were broken.
This caused the power of Master Xue Chen's great world to weaken and increase. It instantly surged, and blood-red light burst out from his body. He used a secret technique that damaged his foundation, and he turned into a beam of blood-red light ….
In a flash, he broke free.
He disappeared between Don and the corpse puppet, and when he reappeared, he was already far away.
As soon as he appeared, he didn't hesitate at all. Blood-colored light exploded out as he threw everything he had into the sky and vanished.
Escape with his life!
As for the seven or eight-year-old boy corpse puppet that Xu Qing had transformed into, it was expressionless and filled with Death Qi. Its lifeless eyes stared in the direction where Xue Chenzi had fled, motionless.
He didn't give chase.
Because the puppet that he had transformed into now only had the cultivation of the Void Returning Realm and did not possess its own intelligence, any action that was out of line would become a flaw.
Although the arrival of the luxurious-robed youth had inadvertently allowed his prey to escape, he had left behind a trail.
Hence, Xu Qing wasn't in a hurry. The prey couldn't escape.
However, at the end of the day, there were some twists and turns in this matter. Xu Qing could ignore it, but Winter, who was Er Niu, had no choice but to express himself.
Therefore, she suddenly turned her head and stared at the young man in the luxurious robe.
"What do you mean?!"
This scene was indeed out of the expectations of the young man in the luxurious robe who was eager to save her. He smiled bitterly, knowing that he had done something wrong with his good intentions. Hence, he quickly explained.
"Miss Dong 'er, I heard that you were coming back. I was worried about your safety, so I rushed over immediately. I didn't expect it to be like this … I …"
"Shut up!"
Yue Dong shouted in a low voice. Her gaze was hostile. Er Niu was already displeased by the other party's interference. The way he addressed her as Miss Dong 'er also made Er Niu uncomfortable.
Especially … in Yue Dong's memories, although he knew that she had pursuers, it was very vague. It was clear that Yue Dong didn't care about pursuers at all.
Hence, Er Niu couldn't recognize the identity of the person before him.
Under these two emotions of displeasure and discomfort, his killing intent also rose. However … Er Niu's gaze swept across the other party's guards around him, and he still put away his killing intent.
However, when he recalled Yue Dong's aloofness, Er Niu snorted coldly.
"Don't let me see you again!"
As he spoke, Er Niu grabbed at Xu Qing as if he had grasped an invisible thread. He took the Corpse Puppet that Xu Qing had turned into and was about to leave.
The young man carefully looked at Yue Dong. He was worried about his gains and losses, and his face was filled with apprehension.
Seeing that Yue Dong was about to leave, he panicked and quickly called out.
"Miss Dong 'er, I really didn't do it on purpose. I … I was worried about your safety. In the 500 days that you were gone, I missed you every moment."
Er Niu felt even more disgusted, and he sped up.
Xu Qing was expressionless, but she was paying attention to the young man in the luxurious robe. This kind of drama that happened to Eldest Senior Brother was very interesting to watch.
The young man in the luxurious robe's face was pale, and his heart was filled with endless regret. Looking at Yue Dong's figure getting further and further away, his face was filled with bitterness as he muttered, "Miss Dong 'er, I really didn't do it on purpose.
"Dong 'er, I really didn't do it on purpose. I've spent the last five hundred days preparing a gift for you so that we can meet again …"
Er Niu, who was speeding in the distance, suddenly stopped.
The young man in the luxurious robe was still muttering bitterly.
"I know you won't accept it. In the past, the gifts that I gave you were all rejected by you. I …"
Before he could finish speaking, Er Niu suddenly turned around.
"What gift?"
The young man in the luxurious robe was stunned at first, then his face was filled with ecstasy as he quickly spoke.
"It's the Star Dragon Marrow. I heard from the Lan Family that your cultivation of immortal arts is harmful to your body, so I specially asked for this marrow from the Ancestor for you …"
As he spoke, the young man in the luxurious robe immediately took out a jade bottle from his storage bag.
In the next moment, Er Niu's figure disappeared in the distance. When he appeared, he was in front of the young man in the luxurious robe. He took the jade bottle, opened it and smelled it, put it in his arms, and said calmly.
"I'll accept your gift, but your previous actions still make me unable to …"
The young man in the luxurious robe was excited. He had pursued Yue Dong for many years, and this was the first time she had accepted his gift. Therefore, his heart was boiling. He felt that this was a signal.
Dong 'er was moved by him!
"I have to strike while the iron is hot!"
Therefore, as Er Niu spoke, he quickly took out another bracelet.
"Dong 'er, this is also a gift that I prepared for you. It's made of Star Crystal."
Erniu's unfinished words instantly paused.
Looking at the shining bracelet, he blinked, took it, put it in his arms, and then coughed.
"Forget it, forget it, your sincerity …"
"Miss Dong 'er, I still have a gift. This hairpin is naturally made of top-grade immortal jade …"
The young man in the luxurious robe became more and more excited, and kept taking out one gift after another. Erniu kept receiving them, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end … under the admiring gaze of the young man in the luxurious robe, he proposed the idea of escorting.
Erniu hesitated for a moment, and the young man in the luxurious robe took out another gift.
Looking at the gift, Erniu took a deep breath, and could no longer refuse. He could only nod with a smile.
This smile made the young man in the luxurious robe's heart soar.
Xu Qing saw everything from the side, and on the road after that, he paid attention to the whole process and continued to watch the show.
Along the way, the young man in the luxurious robe talked about the matters of the Holy Land in the five hundred days after Yue Dong left. It could be said that every word was incomparably gentle, and every address contained deep affection, accompanied by one gift after another …
Erniu had obviously never experienced such an experience, whether it was in this life or many of his previous lives. So in the end, there was a blank look on his face.
And through this young man in the luxurious robe, Xu Qing also had a deeper understanding of the latest developments of the Holy Land of Demon Feather.
In particular … the other party mentioned the disciple of the Demon Flame Emperor, Lu Lingzi, and the Lan family.
Erniu also paid attention to these matters after hearing them, so he asked.
In the face of Erniu's inquiry, the young man in the luxurious robe spoke in more detail.
Lu Lingzi returned a month ago!
"About the matter between Lu Lingzi and the Lan family, what I saw before was only the surface, so Miss Dong 'er, don't blame me for not telling you before."
"I only knew about the conflict between the Lan family and Lu Lingzi during this period of time after my family's status rose and I heard the old ancestor talking about it …"
"But they didn't interfere. Whether it was the final victory of the Lan family or Lu Lingzi, it didn't matter to them who it was, as long as they supported the final winner."
"A month ago, Lu Lingzi returned with the cultivation of a Imperial Sovereign and informed everyone that the Lan Clan wanted to harm him. However, he beat them at their own game and borrowed their strength to break through to the Imperial Sovereign Realm. Then, he killed the Lan Clan's ancestor."
"There are clues about this matter, but the attention of the various parties is no longer here. Because after returning, Lu Lingzi did two things. The first was to publicly announce that he had obtained the pure bloodline of the Lan Clan and fused the bloodline into his Demon eye."
"It can be said that the current Lu Lingzi can already be regarded as the true successor of the Nether Flame Emperor!"
"And because he became a Imperial Sovereign, he's like the sun in the sky!"
"The second thing Lu Lingzi did was to inform everyone that he would be heading to the Dark Flame Emperor's seclusion location in three months to receive the final inheritance."
"At the same time, Lu Lingzi proposed that he would bring all of the Imperial Sovereigns of the same sect, as well as the Chosen of the five clans. They would all share the good fortune!"
"This action won the praise of the various parties in the Sacred Ground. Even the Dark Feather Emperor agreed to this."
"After all, the Dark Flame Emperor's seclusion location is considered sealed. If you want to open it, you need a special method. Now, the only one who can open the Dark Flame Emperor's seclusion location is Lu Lingzi, who has fused with the bloodline of the Lan Clan and is close to being the successor. Moreover, he also needs the help of the Emperor's other disciples."
"Therefore, one can imagine that in the next three months, there will definitely be undercurrents in the Sacred Ground, and all parties will be fighting for these five places."
"But Dong 'er, you're still smart. Although you have a good relationship with the Lan Clan, you didn't participate in the matter between the Lan Clan and Lu Lingzi. Therefore, after Lu Lingzi returned, he didn't mention you at all."
The young man in the luxurious robe spoke gently.
Er Niu's heart trembled when he heard this. His gaze swept imperceptibly to Xu Qing beside him.
Xu Qing's expression was normal, but there were waves in his heart.
They knew the truth.
Therefore, when he heard this matter now … no matter how he heard it, there seemed to be some clues.
But at this moment, there were outsiders around, so Xu Qing and Er Niu didn't communicate.
Just like that, under the continuous mushy words of the young man in the luxurious robe, time passed. Three days passed.
Under the escort of the other party, Xu Qing and Er Niu finally arrived at a city. This was the destination that they had set previously.
When he arrived here, the young man in the luxurious robe looked reluctant to leave. However, as his jade scroll kept vibrating, he finally bid farewell helplessly and headed to the battlefield.
Before he left, he gave Er Niu some gifts affectionately.
As Er Niu took them, his expression became complicated.
After the young man in the luxurious robe left, Xu Qing looked at the eldest senior brother beside him and spoke indifferently.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you have a good encounter with women."
Er Niu's expression was strange. After a while, he sighed.
"Damn it, in my next life, I'll reincarnate as a woman!
The gifts that you gave me along the way make me feel that it's not a loss even if we leave the Sacred Ground now … "
Seeing that his eldest senior brother was sighing, Xu Qing didn't continue to tease him. Instead, he mentioned the matter regarding Lu Lingzi.
Er Niu narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"I feel that there's something wrong with Lu Lingzi's identity. Could it be that I guessed correctly back then?"
At this point, Er Niu looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was silent, thinking about this matter.
After a while, Er Niu coughed.
"No matter what, don't think about eating it alone!
In three months, we have to think of a way to sneak in. "
"Now, I'm going to the Immortal Arts Hall in Eastern Demon Feather to help Yue Dong fulfill his dream. Little Ah Qing, do you want to come with me?"
Xu Qing shook his head and looked into the distance.
"I won't go to the Immortal Arts Hall. I'm going to get my identity."
At the same time, in Eastern Demon Feather, not far from the Dark Flame Emperor's Dao Platform, there was a giant mountain that shook the heavens and earth.
This mountain didn't exist a month ago.
It had only been erected recently.
It was the tenth Imperial Sovereign Mountain that Lu Lingzi had built because of his Imperial Sovereign cultivation after his return.
At this moment, in the hall at the top of the mountain, Lu Lingzi, who was dressed in a golden robe, was meditating with his eyes closed.
His breath reverberated like heavenly thunder, shaking the palace and reverberating through the mountain, forming a terrifying pressure.
In the next instant, his eyes suddenly opened, and it was as if there were stars blooming in them.
He frowned slightly and raised his hand to take out a jade slip.
Sensing the information about Yue Dong's appearance in the jade slip, Lu Lingzi's frown deepened.
"I've already sent her so far away, but she still came here!"
