Chapter 1065

"Senior, for this trip to Black Cloud City, according to the route given by the family, it takes about half a month, and I divined before that the possibility of this route being exposed is not small."

"So I planned a route myself; passing through Heavenly Water Lake, Nine-Curve Mountain, and then walking through the Desert of Time, we can reach an ancient teleportation array."

"There, I have a way to open it, allowing us to use teleportation to reach Great Cloud River, which is closest to Black Cloud City."

"It's just that in terms of time, it will take about five more days..."

In the sky, a wooden boat was whistling in the aurora.

Xu Qing, in the appearance of a middle-aged man, sat cross-legged in the wooden boat, flipping through ancient books.

Opposite him, the beautiful Yunmen Qianfan was speaking softly.

This was three hours after they left the Lingchen Mountain Range.

During these three hours, Xu Qing had been reading, while Yunmen Qianfan had been observing carefully.

She knew very well that this Yan Xuanzi in front of her was her hope for this journey, concerning her life and death.

But she also understood that the other party's combat power was not at the peak, and if they encountered a powerhouse they couldn't resist, he wouldn't fight to the death because of her.

So, she had to replan the route and find a stable path for herself.

It's just that the change in route would consume more time.

So while she was speaking, she was also anxious in her heart about Xu Qing's expression.

"Arrange it as you wish."

Xu Qing didn't care about the change in route; although he was confident in his current combat power, if he could avoid fighting, it would naturally be good.

Hearing Xu Qing's answer, Yunmen Qianfan felt relieved in her heart, and then while controlling the boat, she also focused her attention on Xu Qing.

When she saw Xu Qing pondering the content of the ancient books, she would control the speed of the wooden boat and add isolation to the outside sounds, making the wooden boat relatively quiet.

When she noticed Xu Qing continuing to flip through books, she would take out spiritual fruits and carefully place them aside, noting the types of spiritual fruits Xu Qing picked up first, and silently remembering them in her heart.

Besides this, she also estimated the time and took out spiritual liquid and spiritual wine.

Noticing that Xu Qing preferred spiritual wine, the wine pot was never empty under her constant replacement.

Even when Xu Qing put down the ancient books, she would take out a zither and play it lightly; after finding that Xu Qing was not displeased, she also tried hard to play it lightly.

In addition, when passing by some special terrains, if Xu Qing's gaze fell on them, she would immediately inform him of the information she knew about that terrain.

Throughout the whole process, she was like a maid, very careful.

Although these actions were still very raw at first, one could see that she had rarely done so since she was a child.

But she was very serious, trying hard to make Xu Qing's journey more comfortable.

It could be said that it was completely centered on Xu Qing.

Xu Qing saw these details in his eyes and did not stop them.

Just like that, three days passed.

A blue lake appeared on the earth in the distance.

Looking from the sky, this lake was like a mirror, the water surface was calm, and the spiritual energy was rich, revealing a sense of purity.

"Senior, ahead is Heavenly Water Lake."

"Legend has it that in the ancient years, during the war between gods and immortals, the Dao companion of Immortal Lord Miaoqi, Heavenly Water, fell here; until the end of the war, Immortal Lord Miaoqi came here, and the longing arose, and the tears gathered into this blue lake."

As soon as Yunmen Qianfan's words came out, Xu Qing put down the ancient scroll in his hand, and his gaze fell on Heavenly Water Lake.

Seeing that Xu Qing was interested in this legend, Yunmen Qianfan immediately controlled the wooden boat, making it slow down in this gallop, and finally floated above Heavenly Water Lake.

This position could make Xu Qing's observation clearer and more comprehensive.

"This lake..."

A ghostly glow appeared in Xu Qing's eyes; he raised his hand and grabbed into the air, and suddenly a drop of lake water rose from the Heavenly Water Lake below, heading straight for Xu Qing.

It landed in his palm.

This water looked normal, but through Xu Qing's Five Elements Dao, he perceived that this lake water seemed to possess life and contained will.

"There are still some differences..."

Xu Qing's Immortal Art authority rotated, the meaning of seven emotions and six desires spread out, and combined with his five elements, after checking again, he found that what it contained was actually not will.

But emotions.

In this lake water, there existed deep sadness.

This discovery made Xu Qing's heart ripple, his thoughts spread, and he fell into deep thought.

"The fusion of five elements and emotions might have more changes."

"This point is somewhat similar to the essence of Immortal Art..."

Beside him, Yunmen Qianfan noticed this scene and did not dare to disturb, guarding the surroundings and protecting Xu Qing.

Time passed bit by bit; half an hour later, Xu Qing was still thinking, but Yunmen Qianfan's expression changed drastically, and she suddenly raised her head to look at the horizon.

On the horizon, a long rainbow was whistling toward here at a very fast speed.

Inside was an old man wearing a gray robe, and the fluctuation of the seventh stage of God-Rending made the world change color upon his arrival.

The sky fluctuated, the earth roared, and all directions were affected.

And Yunmen Qianfan, the moment she saw clearly, immediately recognized the person coming.

"Xiao Zheng!"

Her heart trembled.

"Guest elder of the Earth Spirit clan!"

As a core member of the Yunmen family, she naturally knew a lot about the powerhouses of the Earth Spirit clan; recognizing him now, her breathing became rapid, and the life-and-death crisis was extremely intense.

At the same time, bitterness and despair rose in her heart, which she could not control.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's killing intent intensified, his body flickered, and he headed straight for the middle-aged cultivator.

"The highest level Senior Yan Xuanzi killed before was only the sixth stage..."

Just when Yunmen Qianfan was anxious, in the sky, Xiao Zheng's gaze swept over, locking onto the wooden boat; his expression was indifferent, like looking at ants, and he didn't say anything, walking over in an instant.

His task was not just to intercept and kill this one core member, but two.

Even if the other party had a little cleverness, guessed that they had become bait, and changed the route, but...

"Guessed wrong."

"This is not bait; this is a gamble."

Xiao Zheng was expressionless; his gaze did not look at Yunmen Qianfan, who was in despair and trembling, but landed on Xu Qing, and then with a wave of his hand, the world roared.

A huge palm appeared out of thin air, sweeping the world and grabbing fiercely toward the wooden boat.

The terrifying aura and powerful pressure made Yunmen Qianfan's body and soul feel as if they were frozen, falling into suffocation; she couldn't move at all and could only watch the big hand falling.

It was also at this moment that Xu Qing, sitting in the wooden boat, raised his head and looked over with a calm gaze.

This look...

The falling big hand suddenly paused.

It couldn't fall.

Then with a boom, it collapsed directly.

At the same time, the oppression and freezing on Yunmen Qianfan fell apart in this instant.

The feeling of suffocation also disappeared in an instant.

The moment her perception recovered, Yunmen Qianfan, who was gasping for air, saw in the sky that Xiao Zheng, who had been calm before, had his expression changing, and horror rapidly replaced his indifference.

Then, in Yunmen Qianfan's unbelievable eyes, this Xiao Zheng actually retreated rapidly, his face turning from horror to pale, as if he wanted to escape.

At this moment, Xiao Zheng's heart was roaring, as if countless thunders were exploding.

Before he came, he knew the escort was Yan Xuanzi, and he also understood the other party's information and combat power, knowing the other party's ability.

But in his view, although this Yan Xuanzi was quite good, it was impossible for him to resist under his strike.

And he never expected that the other party... was like a different person, just with one look, actually causing his magical power to collapse.

"With this kind of combat power, this person... this person..."

Xiao Zheng's body trembled, his scalp went numb, and at this moment he had exploded with all his strength, wanting to escape this place.

But as he fled, his heart roared again.

He found that even if he unfolded his secret method to increase his speed, everything in front of him did not change at all.

It was as if the space he was in had become infinite.

Below, it was still Heavenly Water Lake; all around, it was still where he was just now.

This scene made his heart churn, and he suddenly felt his vision blur, and there were some things on his face.

Those were tears.

Drops of tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes while he couldn't control himself.

More and more...

Instantly flowed dry, wetting his whole body.

Then, he began to bleed.

Blood and tears all over his face!

And the blood also dried up quickly, and his life began to flow away.

Until finally, his life poured out like a flood, instantly drying up and dissipating, and his flesh, soul, and everything became fly ash at this moment.

Scattered between heaven and earth.

This scene was extremely eerie!

Reflecting in Yunmen Qianfan's eyes, she stayed there.

She couldn't believe everything she had just seen; even though only the dissipated fly ash was in her sight now, the previous picture had been branded in her memory.

She watched with her own eyes as that guest elder of the Earth Spirit clan shed tears in mid-air.

Then bled, then his life flowed away.

He lived and cried himself into fly ash.

This picture in her memory made her lose her soul.

Her breathing was intense, and her heart set off an unprecedented monstrous wave.

In every wave, there was disbelief.

There was even a moment when she thought she had seen it wrong.

And Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and shook his head secretly.

"It is indeed similar to Immortal Art, but the power is ordinary; it's okay to kill God-Rending, but for Sovereigns, it has little effect, and it's a bit too flashy."

From beginning to end, he did not stand up from the wooden boat, just raised his head and looked, then picked up the ancient scroll beside him and lowered his head to continue reading.

After a while, noticing that Yunmen Qianfan was still lost, Xu Qing knocked the ancient scroll in his hand on the boat board.

The sound fell into Yunmen Qianfan's ears, gathering her heart, which had been scattered by shock, back together.

"Let's go."

Xu Qing spoke indifferently.

Yunmen Qianfan took a deep breath, trying hard to recover, but the ripples in her heart clearly couldn't calm down so quickly.

It took her a while to barely recover some, and she immediately controlled the boat and flew toward the distance.

And looking at Xu Qing, her gaze now couldn't help but rise with strangeness, and she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Senior... how should we go on our next path?"

"Arrange it as you wish."

Xu Qing didn't raise his head and continued reading.

"Okay!"

Yunmen Qianfan nodded obediently.
