Chapter 1056: The Miserable Niu Niu
Xu Qing felt that there was no need for him to worry about Eldest Senior Brother's safety!
Along the way, he had never seen Eldest Senior Brother suffer a loss. Basically, the ones who suffered losses were others!
Among the victims, there were the divine creatures in the Forbidden Sea, the three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man. As for the powerful ones … there was the Crimson Mother. Even the Upper Desolate Remnant Face was bitten by Erniu.
There were quite a few of them!
Therefore, in Xu Qing's view, it was impossible for such a crazy senior brother to encounter any accident in the Immortal Technique Hall of the Demonic Feather Holy Land!
After all, it was Eldest Senior Brother who had taken the initiative to go to the Immortal Arts Hall. Before he left, he had made a solemn vow!
As far as Xu Qing was concerned, he had come as a representative of the tenth Sovereign. On one hand, he was here to bear witness, but on the other hand, he was here to watch the show!
One had to know that in the past, he had always acted together with his Eldest Senior Brother, and this was the first time he had experienced something like watching someone perform with a higher status!
"However, we still have to try our best to control the situation!“
Since the Empress had requested it, Xu Qing felt that it was necessary for him to prevent his Eldest Senior Brother from causing too much trouble. However, when he thought of his Eldest Senior Brother's worrisome behavior, Xu Qing did not have much confidence in this matter!
Let's try it out!
Thinking of this, Xu Qing felt at ease. His speed in the sky became even faster!
Galloping all the way!
Two hours later, in the sky, he saw the city where he had parted with his eldest senior brother!
The location of the Eastern Demon Feather Immortal Technique was a thousand miles north of the city!
Xu Qing's gaze swept over the city, but he didn't stop at all. With a whistling sound, he flew past the city, and soon, he crossed a thousand miles and saw a white lake.
Just like West Demon Feather's Immortal Arts Palace, it was built on a lake. The difference was that East Demon Feather's lake was black, while West Demon Feather's lake was white!
Its name was Life Illusions Lake!
At the center of the lake stood a temple-like palace. It was completely black, as if it was made of black jade!
Compared to the white lake, it formed a clear contrast!
As for the lake, it was different from the Immortal Masters Xu Qing had seen in the Western Demonic Feather. Perhaps it was because of the bleakness of the lake, or perhaps it was because today was the day of the ceremony, but there were no Immortal Masters meditating.
Even the black Immortal Arts Palace had some traces of damage. It didn't look like it had existed for a long time, but more like it had been recently damaged by a spell!
Xu Qing looked around thoughtfully for a moment, then flew across the lake to hover in midair above the Immortal Arts Palace. Clasping his hands behind his back, he coolly said.
"The immortal master in charge of this place, come out and see me!"
These words were like thunder that exploded in all directions, causing the void to distort. The lake below rippled with great waves!
Seven or eight figures immediately flew out of the Immortal Arts Palace and headed straight for Xu Qing!
The person in the lead was a middle-aged Immortal Master. When he saw Xu Qing, his pupils shrank and his expression became even more respectful. He quickly closed in and clasped his hands a few dozen feet away.
He bowed deeply!
Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xue Chenzi!
Welcome, Fellow Daoist. Just now, we were the ones who received the guests in advance. Please forgive us for any negligence!
The middle-aged Immortal master's expression was sincere, and the Immortal masters behind him all had serious expressions as they bowed.
Therefore, during this period of time, the name of Xue Chenzi had risen in the entire Demon Feather Holy Land!
Everyone knew about his challenge to Western Demon Feather and his final battle with Western Demon Feather Holy Land!
This made his name even more illustrious in Eastern Demon Feather. Adding on the fact that he had the tenth Sovereign behind him, the Immortal Arts Palace didn't dare to be careless!
Xu Qing expressionlessly nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Xue Chenzi, please!"
Seeing that Xu Qing didn't mind, the middle-aged Immortal Master let out a sigh of relief. He had heard that Xue Chenzi had a violent personality, a bloodthirsty ability, and loved to kill!
At this moment, he was 120% cautious and was about to lead the way for Xu Qing!
However, at this moment, Xu Qing, who was floating in midair, turned his head and looked at the horizon!
The middle-aged Immortal Master was startled. When he looked over, he heard laughter coming from the horizon!
"Is the one in front Fellow Daoist Xue Chenzi?"
As the laughter echoed, a burly man appeared from the horizon. This burly man was tall and wore a blue robe. His eyes were like lightning as he walked through the air. Wherever he went, his Nine Realms cultivation base would create a huge pressure that affected the heavens and earth!
The middle-aged Immortal Master quickly bowed in greeting!
"Greetings, Sovereign."
Xu Qing's expression was the same as ever. In Xue Chenzi's memories, he knew that this person was the fifth Sovereign, Chang Zi. His name was Lin Kun!
However, the two of them weren't familiar with each other. It could even be said that before Xu Qing's arrival, this person's memories of Xue Chenzi were blurry and didn't even enter his eyes!
But now, things were clearly different!
Xu Qing only slightly cupped his hands in greeting. Lin Kun, who had come from the sky, laughed even louder!
"Fellow Daoist Xue Chenzi, there's no need to be like this. You and I don't need to pay attention to such things. I've cheered for your heroic deeds in Western Demon Feather Holy Land many times!"
Lin Kun laughed. The sincerity in his eyes was impossible to tell if it was real or fake. His expression and words were filled with intimacy!
"Seeing you today, I see that you are indeed a hero!"
However, human nature dictated that one should not judge a person by their appearance. Therefore, Xu Qing naturally would not have a good impression just because of a few words. Therefore, he shook his head.
"This is the blessing of the Sovereign. I'm just following the Sovereign. I'm just lucky to have gained some fame. If Fellow Daoist Lin comes, you will definitely make me even more famous!"
Seeing that Xu Qing was serious, Lin Kun's smile widened. Therefore, they exchanged a few more words and tried to sound each other out.
Xu Qing, who had been through so much, was able to answer this kind of conversation with ease. Not only did he not leak anything, but he also cleverly lifted the other party up a little.
Therefore, on the surface, the two sides were very harmonious. Led by the middle-aged Immortal Master, they walked together to the Immortal Arts Palace.
Along the way, looking at the traces of spells in the Immortal Arts Palace, Lin Kun smiled and looked at Xu Qing.
"Brother Xue Chenzi, while you were at West Demonic Feather, a few big things happened in the palace."
The former Grand Immortal Master's disciple, Yue Dong, returned and wanted to compete for the position of Grand Immortal Master. However, he was stopped by many Immortal Arts Palace's Elders, and there were many conflicts between them.
Yue Dong also had means and charm. Not only did he win the support of some Immortal Masters, but he also brought in external help at the critical moment. He brought in Chang Sun of the Yun family and killed many Elders Chang for him.
"Originally, the development of the situation should have been Yue Dong's victory and he would finally become a Grand Immortal Master. However, at the last moment, the Great Elder Chang of the Immortal Arts Palace, who had been in seclusion for many years, came out and suppressed everyone. He captured Yue Dong alive and fixed the situation!"
Lin Kun said as he walked while observing Xu Qing's expression.
Hearing Yue Dong's name, Xu Qing's eyes were cold.
Lin Kun chuckled.
I also heard about the hatred between Brother Xue Chenzi and Yue Dong. This time, although I didn't do it personally, I can see his death with my own eyes. I think it will make you feel better. "
Xu Qing shook his head. "I hope that Yue Dong can win. That way, I will have the opportunity to kill him personally in the future. After all, borrowing the power of others is not what I want."
Lin Kun nodded. He understood Xu Qing's words. If he was in Xu Qing's shoes, he would also think the same way. If he was unable to take revenge against such an enemy, then it would be fine. But if he had the power to take revenge, then he would naturally kill him with his own hands.
Quick!
As he spoke, the middle-aged Immortal Master led them through a long corridor. When they appeared, they were in a vast circular square!
The plaza was built with a grand aura. Countless ancient beasts were carved around it, and there were also paintings of heroes from various races who had made contributions with immortal arts during the era of Ancient Emperor Xuan You!
As for Yue Dong, he was suspended in midair by six iron chains in the shape of the Chinese character '大'.
Her hair was disheveled and she was motionless. Her entire body was covered in blood and she looked extremely miserable!
And from the looks of it, it looked like his blood was about to run out!
His aura was faintly discernible!
As for the surroundings, there were also ten huge chairs floating in the air!
Every single one of them was made of immortal jade. They were Front Facing Spiritual Treasures, shining with resplendent light like ten suns. They were extremely luxurious!
At this moment, there were already cultivators on six of them!
Among them, there were both men and women, and all of them were at the Nine Worlds of Soul Accumulation, and their auras were extremely powerful!
They all represented different Sovereign Mountains!
When Xu Qing and Lin Kun appeared, the gazes of the six instantly converged. The focus was on Xu Qing!
Only they knew what they were thinking. As for what they were showing, unless it was done on purpose, they would either act normally or nod their heads!
Xu Qing was the same. After the gazes of the six, he flew up with Lin Kun and landed on a chair!
Xu Qing was on the tenth chair!
The moment he sat down, he looked at Yue Dong, who was suspended in the air!
With just one look, Xu Qing knew that Erniu was fine!
Because in his impression, Erniu's blood was endless!
How could he look like he was about to run out of blood!
"Is Eldest Senior Brother deliberately showing weakness to the enemy?
Or is he trying to borrow their strength? "
"No matter what, in this situation, his goal should be to complete the reversal at the most critical moment!"
"The prerequisite for this is to make that Great Elder Chang of the Immortal Arts Hall completely believe in his judgment and think that Eldest Senior Brother has no chance of turning the situation around!"
"Unfortunately, I don't know the details. I don't know how Eldest Senior Brother did it."
While Xu Qing was lost in thought, Yue Dong's body trembled slightly, as if she had sensed something. She wanted to awaken from her coma, but her injuries were so severe that she lacked the strength to even open her eyes!
Time passed, and eventually, the representatives of the two Imperial Lords arrived and took their seats. Then, the host of the ceremony began to stride out from the void above the square!
This was an old man wearing a black robe. He had a head full of white hair, and his body was completely withered. He looked like a skeleton!
Strangely, there were many illusory figures behind him.
Behind him were a middle-aged man, a young man, and a teenager!
As for his true form, he held a huge staff in his hand. His aura was shocking, and he gave Xu Qing the feeling that he was as vast as the sea!
Unlike all the other Immortal Cultivators he had encountered, this old man emitted powerful Immortal Arts fluctuations!
His arrival caused the hall to instantly go silent. Everyone, including Xu Qing, looked up!
According to the ancient agreement, the appearance of every Grand Immortal Master of the Immortal Arts Hall had to be witnessed by all of the Sovereign Mountains!
That was why today's invitation had come!
After he finished speaking, he waved his staff and pointed at Yue Dong, who was suspended in the air!
"Yue Dong has betrayed the Dao of Immortal Arts. I invite everyone here not only to witness the appearance of the Grand Immortal Master, but also to witness the refining of the Six Thieves Immortal Seal!"
"I ask all Sovereign Mountains to take out their tokens and allow the Immortal Arts Hall to begin the refining ceremony!"
