If he refuses to speak, we can simply ask Lanyao and Yuedong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s right eye’s Dao mark shimmered as he gazed into the distance and spoke indifferently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erniu chuckled, his eyes full of anticipation. He and Xu Qing accelerated, maintaining their concealment in the sky as they continued to speed along…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, several more days passed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these few days, the middle-aged cultivator who had captured Feng Lintao alive remained extremely cautious, constantly changing directions and staying vigilant of the surroundings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, in a certain city, they transferred Feng Lintao to an unremarkable old man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the cultivator departed, and the face of Yuedong that had been interwoven into their threads of fate dissipated rapidly, causing their fate to return to normal, and they lost this memory forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the old man, like a relay, he left the small city from another direction and continued onward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such events occurred five times over the following half-month!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every relay… involved different people; the former would leave, and the latter would continue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the tribes were different; there were humans, and there were also Yan-Yue Profound Heaven tribesmen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this method, they severed all traces, causing any pursuers of the target to lose the causal connection!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Erniu’s Origin-Tracing Ruthless Dao was created in his past life to scheme against gods; it could even lock onto the body of a Sovereign, and its status was extremely high. Therefore, no matter how the people of Yuedong were swapped, the threads on Feng Lintao remained under his grasp, never interfered with by Yuedong, and were locked on throughout!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, Xu Qing and Erniu finally caught up to Feng Lintao and witnessed this strange replacement. Erniu’s eyes narrowed slightly, while Xu Qing squinted his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Ah Qing, these people aren't right. They can't all be Dark Agents of the Demon Feather, can they!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erniu suddenly spoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not possess authority; although he could sense Feng Lintao’s threads of fate by relying on his Origin Dao, he could not see the fate of those whose emotions were controlled by Yuedong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xu Qing’s eyes, however, it was clearer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right eye’s Dao mark shimmered, and after gazing, a hint of gravity appeared in his expression as he discerned the reason!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, in the causal threads of fate of these people, Yuedong’s face has been woven in...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erniu heard this, and his eyes revealed a strange light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weaving the threads of fate into a face... this is clearly some kind of puppet-making technique. Could it be that between Lanyao and Yuedong, Yuedong is the one behind the scenes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing recalled the scenes with Lanyao and Yuedong in the Golden Rat Cave, and he was not entirely certain in his heart, only remembering that Lanyao’s hatred for Feng Lintao was extremely intense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the fish takes the bait, we will know if there is a similar face in Lanyao’s fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Qing spoke, he stepped forward in the sky, following the cultivator who had captured Feng Lintao from afar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snowflakes began to drift in the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down at the ground, the black earth was covered by white snow; the further north they went, the thicker and heavier the ice and snow became!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the one holding Feng Lintao was a beautiful middle-aged woman. This person clearly had some status in this nearby region, so her journey was much smoother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this region, while also belonging to the Yan-Yue Profound Heaven, was very close to the border of the Northern Boundary of Wanggu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The territory of the Yan-Yue Profound Heaven tribe was shaped like a long strip, with its edges connecting to the north above and Liaoxuan below!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, traveling from this position to the north did not require any teleportation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Send it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as they moved forward, the speed of that middle-aged woman increased a bit, and she seemed to have a clear goal, as if this fishing trip was nearing its end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts were indeed so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, on a snowy mountain, the figure of the middle-aged woman who had been trekking along stopped instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the summit, she knelt down, keeping her head lowered, without saying a word!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Lintao kept his eyes tightly shut, having been carried like a corpse the entire way; even now, as the middle-aged woman knelt and placed him beside her, he remained unconscious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were relatively quiet, with only the whistling of the wind blowing from the horizon, stirring up gusts of white snow that blended with the new snow falling from the firmament, indistinguishable from one another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blurred figure appeared in the wind and snow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure was graceful, wearing a long dress adorned with the starry sky. Her face was as beautiful as a lotus, and her long, jet-black hair was as smooth as water; as she walked, it drifted behind her, interweaving with the falling snow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was most eye-catching was her waist, slender and soft, just like a thin willow branch, light and agile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also those long, jade-like legs, appearing and disappearing under the star-patterned dress, adding a touch of allure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lanyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanyao possessed both the slenderness of a young girl and the charm of a young woman; combined, they gave her a soul-captivating charisma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the snow-white wings behind her, which, beyond her youthful slenderness and mature charm, added a sense of holiness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she came from the wind and snow, walked to the snowy mountain, and arrived before the middle-aged woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lan. I have not failed the trust of you and Miss Yuedong; I have brought this damned Feng Lintao here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and spoke respectfully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanyao nodded, her gaze falling on the unconscious Feng Lintao beside her. Her beautiful eyes revealed intense hatred, and she raised her jade hand, pointing a finger down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Feng Lintao’s body shook, and his eyes slowly opened, revealing confusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if he felt the world before him was illusory, as if he had just woken up... but in reality, his mind was racing, analyzing one method after another to face such a situation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The confusion was merely a facade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, Lanyao knew him too well. Before Feng Lintao could speak, she waved her jade hand, and immediately Feng Lintao’s face twisted, and he could not help but let out a shrill wail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veins on his face bulged, and his body trembled violently, as if his soul... was being extracted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lanyao, wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven't you noticed that your personality is different from when we first met?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During this time, I have been hunted by you and Yuedong, reviewed things many times, and recalled the past many times... I have discovered... Yuedong is not right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lanyao... you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Lintao wailed while speaking in a shrill voice, attempting to wake Lanyao up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lanyao remained unmoved, her raised right hand still extracting his soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, despair appeared in Feng Lintao’s eyes; a superimposed shadow appeared on his body, and his soul seemed about to be ripped out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of crisis, Feng Lintao used his last bit of strength to cry out for help toward the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, save me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, I have guessed that the assassination within the human race must have been tacitly approved by you, Your Majesty. The goal was likely to use me as bait... Your Majesty, this Lanyao and Yuedong hate me to the bone, save me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanyao looked up, gazing in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was as usual, the wind and snow were as usual, and nothing had changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the despair in Feng Lintao’s heart became even more intense. He wasn't actually sure if the Empress was there, but he was now realizing it in hindsight. Recalling the journey, he had a vague premonition that he... seemed to have been used as bait. So, as his soul was being torn and half-extracted, Feng Lintao went all out, feeling extremely anxious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I possess the inheritance of the Liaoxuan Holy Ancestor, which is the inheritance of a Quasi-Immortal Great Emperor, and my Liaoxuan Holy Ancestor was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Summer Immortal back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, this inheritance of mine is exactly what Lanyao and Yuedong are plotting. I am willing to offer it to the human race; this inheritance is of great use to the human race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was still no change in all directions; only the wind and snow became a bit heavier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the whistling, Feng Lintao’s soul was finally extracted by Lanyao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soul was grabbed in her hand, Feng Lintao’s physical body turned into fly ash and was blown away by the wind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lanyao, wake up, you are being controlled by Yuedong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Lintao’s soul trembled. The moment it was grabbed by Lanyao, he let out his final call, filled with despair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, within this call, he secretly risked the depletion of his soul to deploy a secret technique, forming a soul-piercing spike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It erupted suddenly, stabbing into the center of Lanyao’s brow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This soul spike was fully named the Liaoxuan Soul-Exciting Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once deployed, it could cause the recipient’s soul to fall into chaos, thereby losing control!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and lose control!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in an instant, Lanyao’s body shook, a look of bewilderment appeared in her eyes, and her hand gripping Feng Lintao loosened slightly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Feng Lintao’s soul retreated abruptly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, for Feng Lintao, calling out to the human race was best if successful; if it failed, he could turn this behavior into a desperate struggle before his death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereby hiding this soul spike attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until this moment, it was an unexpected eruption!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Feng Lintao’s soul was speeding away, Lanyao’s eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and she suddenly looked up, staring fixedly at the distance, and the first sentence she had spoken since arriving here came from her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are courting death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying these words, she immediately felt regret in her heart, because before descending, she had received Yuedong’s requirement that she was not allowed to say a single word after appearing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a single sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she would have obeyed completely, but Feng Lintao’s soul spike... ultimately had its effect, causing her soul to fluctuate and her threads of fate to blur for an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three words from her mouth were uttered during that moment of loosening!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, she could not care about too much else; she raised her hand, intending to grab Feng Lintao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just at this moment, a calm voice echoed from the horizon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, have finally spoken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words instantly exploded in all directions, drawing in the howling wind and snow of this place to form a storm that rose from thin air, enveloping the figure of Xiang Lanyao in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Lanyao’s expression changed, and immediately after, she saw a familiar figure walking out from within the storm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a long robe, with long hair and a stunningly beautiful face, set off by the wind and snow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Xu Qing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw Xu Qing, Xiang Lanyao’s actions were extremely decisive; she immediately closed her eyes, and then her physical body withered rapidly—in just a fleeting moment, her body turned directly into flying ash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had arrived was merely one of her clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, as the clone perished of its own accord, the storm swept across!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Qing’s expression remained as usual; just now, when he sensed the other party appear and not say a word, he felt something was wrong, thinking that perhaps intelligence regarding himself had been grasped by her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that not a single sound could be transmitted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he had not revealed himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only until Xiang Lanyao opened her mouth and spoke those three words that Xu Qing stepped out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, even though the other party was only a clone and had self-destructed, for Xu Qing, as long as he had heard her voice, her true body would not be able to escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing looked up, his spiritual sense spreading out as the divine authority of sound erupted with a roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pursuing that sentence of the other party, utilizing the wind, utilizing all things, utilizing every sound... he began a search within the ethereal void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the horizon, Feng Lintao, who was currently fleeing at full speed, also had his expression change drastically, and he hurriedly put on a fawning look, speaking rapidly toward the space beside him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it Fellow Daoist Chen Erniu beside me? I guessed from the very beginning that you all wanted to fish, so I cooperated with all my might, sparing no cost, preferring to die multiple times, using every trick in the book, and finally helped you catch this fish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Feng Lintao spoke, the figure of Chen Erniu stepped out from the distortion of the void, standing before Feng Lintao with a half-smile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So obedient, are you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2221,"2026-06-21T00:45:20.082Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","33618a598d6f7a57d2d8fbfd5da371571d4c43c4571236e898fe2c4f99679d61","beyond-the-passage-of-time-chapter-968","beyond-the-passage-of-time-chapter-966",998,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeyond-the-passage-of-time-cover.jpg"]
