Chapter 980

~14 min read 2,650 words

The powdered-face youth's voice was anxious as he entered the blood mist.

At the same time, the cultivators guarding him also erupted with their combat power.

These guards were personal guards arranged for him by his family, with extraordinary cultivation and large numbers. Now, as they attacked with all their might, the blood mist, although extraordinary, could not withstand it.

Thus, the next instant, as the roaring sound rose to the sky, this piece of blood mist was like being slapped by an invisible giant hand, and it exploded directly.

It shattered into pieces, and in the roaring sound, it seemed to be swept away by a violent wind.

Revealing the three figures inside!

One was Miss Yuedong. At this moment, her face was cold, containing killing intent, and she was pinching a spell to emanate immortal technique fluctuations.

Another was a black-faced corpse puppet about seven or eight years old, located opposite Miss Yuedong, forming a pincer attack, cooperating to cast spells and binding Xue Xue Chenzi in the middle.

A large number of seven-colored threads formed by the immortal techniques from Miss Yuedong and the corpse puppet had already enveloped Xue Xue Chenzi, and some had already connected to his fate.

Obviously, if this continued, it wouldn't be long before Xue Xue Chenzi was refined by the immortal technique.

And Xue Xue Chenzi was struggling, but it was of little use.

It was just that... the sudden upheaval in the outside world and the roaring from all directions caused the blood mist to collapse, which also affected the refining that was taking place here.

The violent wind that rolled in was originally intended to disperse the people fighting here; this was the behavior of that powdered-face youth saving people.

But now... by a twist of fate, it became a wind that saved Xue Xue Chenzi's life.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, Xue Xue Chenzi's struggle surged, his entire body's cultivation erupted regardless of the cost, and he even didn't hesitate to collapse two of his own great worlds, forming destructive power and sweeping toward the surroundings.

And the powdered-face youth who rushed over rapidly had an anxious voice that made Chen Chen Erniu's eyes widen and his heart shake, as if his mind had been disrupted, causing ripples in the immortal technique threads!

Thus, the next instant, the corpse puppet cooperating with him was also affected by her, its corpse body shook, and the threads were broken.

This caused the struggle power formed by the collapse of Xue Xue Chenzi's world to surge, and he himself erupted with blood light all over, deploying a secret technique that was quite damaging to his foundation, turning into a beam of blood light...

With a flash, he finally broke free.

He disappeared between Dong and the corpse puppet, appearing in the distance.

The moment he appeared, he didn't hesitate at all, and the blood light flashed again, heading toward the horizon, exhausting everything, and suddenly disappeared.

He escaped!

As for the seven or eight-year-old child corpse puppet Xu Qing had transformed into, he was expressionless at this moment, death energy lingering on his body, his spiritless eyes looking at the direction Xue Xue Chenzi had fled, motionless.

He did not pursue.

Because the puppet he had transformed into only had Void Returning cultivation and did not possess his own intelligence, any unusual behavior would become a flaw.

Although the arrival of that powdered-face youth accidentally let his prey escape, the trail had already been left.

So Xu Qing was not in a hurry; the prey could not escape.

But in the final analysis, the appearance of this matter had caused some twists and turns. Xu Qing could not care, but Chen Chen Erniu, who had transformed into Miss Yuedong, could not help but express it.

So she turned her head violently, staring fixedly at the powdered-face youth.

"What do you mean!"

This scene was indeed beyond the expectations of the powdered-face youth who was anxious to save people. He smiled bitterly at this moment, knowing that he had done a bad thing with good intentions, so he explained hurriedly.

"Miss Dong'er, I heard on the way that you were back and was worried about your safety, so I rushed over at the first moment. I didn't expect it to be like this... I..."

"Shut up!"

Miss Yuedong shouted in a low voice, her eyes unkind. The other party's interference had already made Chen Chen Erniu unhappy, and the 'Miss Dong'er' repeated over and over again also made Chen Chen Erniu feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Especially... he knew from Miss Yuedong's memory that although there were pursuers, they were very vague. Clearly, Miss Yuedong didn't care about pursuers at all.

So for the person in front of him, Chen Chen Erniu couldn't recognize his identity for a while.

And under the two emotions of unhappiness and discomfort, his killing intent also rose, but... Chen Chen Erniu's gaze swept over the other party's guards in the surroundings, and he still put away his killing intent.

But thinking of Miss Yuedong's usual coldness, Chen Chen Erniu snorted coldly.

"Don't let me see you again!"

Saying this, Chen Chen Erniu grabbed Xu Qing, as if grasping invisible threads, and with the corpse puppet Xu Qing had transformed into, he was about to leave this place.

And the youth looked at Miss Yuedong cautiously, full of anxiety and apprehension.

At this moment, seeing Miss Yuedong about to leave, he became anxious and shouted loudly.

"Miss Dong'er, I really didn't mean it. I... I was worried about your safety. In the five hundred and more days you were away, I missed you every moment."

Chen Chen Erniu felt even more disgusted and nauseated, and his speed increased.

Xu Qing was expressionless, but he paid close attention to the powdered-face youth. It was just that... this kind of drama happening to Big Brother was very good to watch.

And the powdered-face youth was filled with endless regret, looking at Miss Yuedong's figure getting further and further away, his face full of bitterness, muttering in a low voice.

"Dong'er, I really didn't mean it. For this meeting, I also carefully prepared a gift for you in these five hundred and more days..."

Chen Chen Erniu, who was galloping in the distance, suddenly paused.

And the powdered-face youth's voice was still muttering bitterly.

"I know you won't want it. The gifts I sent you in the past were all rejected by you. I..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Chen Erniu suddenly turned around.

"What gift?"

The powdered-face youth was stunned at first, and then full of joy, and hurriedly spoke.

"It's Star Dragon Marrow. I heard from the Lan family before that your cultivation of immortal techniques caused damage to yourself, so I specially begged for this marrow from the ancestor for you..."

As he spoke, the powdered-face youth immediately took out a jade bottle from his storage bag.

The next instant, Chen Chen Erniu's figure disappeared in the distance, appearing directly in front of this powdered-face youth, grabbed the jade bottle, opened it, smelled it, put it into his bosom, and spoke lightly.

"I accept your gift, but your previous behavior is still impossible to..."

The powdered-face youth was excited. He had pursued Miss Yuedong for many years, and this was the first time the other party had accepted his gift, so his heart was boiling. He felt this was a signal.

A signal that Dong'er was moved by him!

"Must strike while the iron is hot!"

So while Chen Chen Erniu was speaking, he took out a bracelet rapidly.

"Dong'er, this is also a gift I prepared for you, made of star crystals."

Chen Chen Erniu's unfinished words paused instantly.

Looking at the shining bracelet, he blinked, took it after grabbing it, put it into his bosom, and then coughed.

"Forget it, forget it, your sincerity..."

"Miss Dong'er, I have more gifts. This hairpin is made of top-grade immortal jade..."

The powdered-face youth became more and more excited, constantly taking out one gift after another, and Chen Chen Erniu, who was collecting them, had eyes that became brighter and brighter. In the end... in the powdered-face youth's loving gaze, he proposed the idea of escorting her.

Chen Chen Erniu hesitated for a moment, and the powdered-face youth took out another gift.

Looking at the gift, Chen Chen Erniu took a deep breath, and the words of refusal could no longer be spoken, so he could only nod with a smile.

This smile made the powdered-face youth's heart fly directly.

Xu Qing saw everything from the side, and on the road afterward, he paid even more attention, continuing to watch the show.

Along the way, the powdered-face youth talked about the things in the Holy Land in the five hundred and more days since Miss Yuedong left. It could be said that every word was extremely gentle, every form of address contained deep affection, accompanied by one gift after another...

Chen Chen Erniu, whether in this life or many past lives, had never had such an experience, to the point that in the end, his expression even appeared somewhat bewildered.

And through this powdered-face youth, Xu Qing also gained a deep understanding of the latest developments in the Demon Feather Holy Land.

Especially... the other party mentioned Lu You Lingzi, the disciple of the Ming Yan Great Emperor, and the Lan family.

Regarding these matters, Chen Chen Erniu also paid attention when he heard them, so he asked about them.

Facing Chen Chen Erniu's inquiry, the powdered-face youth spoke in more detail.

Lu You Lingzi returned a month ago!

"Regarding the matter between Lu You 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 also heard the ancestor talk about it after my family status improved during this period... It turns out that the high-level officials of all parties in the Holy Land knew the reason for the conflict between the Lan family and Lu You Lingzi."

"But they didn't intervene. Whether the Lan family finally won or Lu You Lingzi did, for all parties, it didn't matter who it was, as long as they supported the final winner."

"A month ago, Lu You Lingzi returned with Sovereign cultivation and informed all parties that the Lan family wanted to do him wrong, and he used the plan to break through to Sovereign by borrowing their power, and then killed the Lan family ancestor."

"There are clues to this matter, but the attention of all parties is no longer here, because after returning, Lu You Lingzi did two things. The first thing was to publicly announce that he had obtained the pure bloodline of the Lan family and integrated the bloodline into his Demon Eye."

"It can be said that the current Lu You Lingzi can already be seen as the true successor of the Ming Yan Great Emperor!"

"And because he has ascended to Sovereign, he is now in his prime!"

"And the second thing Lu You Lingzi did was to inform all parties that in three months, he would go to the place where the Ming Yan Great Emperor was in seclusion to conduct the final inheritance."

"At the same time, Lu You Lingzi proposed to take all the fellow Sovereign disciples and five geniuses from the clan to go together, regardless of East or West, to share this creation!"

"This approach won the praise of all parties in the Holy Land, and even the Demon Feather Great Emperor allowed this matter."

"After all, the place where the Ming Yan Great Emperor was in seclusion belongs to a closed state. To open it requires a specific method. Now, the only one who can open the place where the Ming Yan Great Emperor was in seclusion is Lu You Lingzi, who has integrated the Lan family bloodline and is almost the successor, and he also needs the assistance of the Great Emperor's other disciples."

"So, one can imagine that in the next three months, there will definitely be undercurrents in the Holy Land, and all parties are competing for these five spots."

"But Dong'er, you are still smart. I think although you have a good relationship with the Lan family, you didn't participate in the matter between the Lan family and Lu You Lingzi, so Lu You Lingzi didn't mention you at all after he returned."

The powdered-face youth spoke gently.

Chen Chen Erniu heard this, his heart shook, and his gaze swept over Xu Qing beside him imperceptibly.

Xu Qing's expression was as usual, but there were also ripples in his heart.

They knew the truth.

So now listening to this matter... no matter how they listened, it all seemed to have clues.

But there were outsiders present, so Xu Qing and Chen Chen Erniu didn't communicate.

Just like that, under the powdered-face youth's continuous mushy words, time passed, and three days went by.

Xu Qing and Chen Chen Erniu finally arrived at a city under the other party's escort; this was the destination they had set before.

Arriving here, the powdered-face youth looked reluctant, but as his jade slip vibrated continuously, he finally said goodbye helplessly and had to head to the battlefield.

Before leaving, he sent Chen Chen Erniu some more gifts affectionately.

As Chen Chen Erniu collected them, his expression also became complicated.

After the powdered-face youth left, looking back three times with every step, Xu Qing looked at Big Brother beside him and spoke lightly.

"Big Brother has quite a romantic encounter."

Chen Chen Erniu's expression was strange, and after a long while, he sighed.

"Damn, in the next life, I will be reincarnated as a woman! The gifts I got along the way make me feel that even if we leave the Holy Land now, we won't lose..."

Seeing Big Brother sighing like this, Xu Qing didn't continue to tease him, but brought up the matter of Lu You Lingzi.

Chen Chen Erniu heard this, and his eyes narrowed.

"I feel there is a problem with Lu You Lingzi's identity. I wasn't guessed right by me back then, was I!"

Speaking of this, Chen Chen Erniu looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was silent, also pondering this matter.

After a long while, Chen Chen Erniu coughed.

"No matter what, don't even think about eating alone! Three months later, we have to find a way to mix in."

"Now, I'm going to the Immortal Technique Hall of East Demon Feather to help Miss Yuedong fulfill her dream. Little A-Qing, do you want to go with me?"

Xu Qing shook his head and looked into the distance.

"I won't go to the Immortal Technique Hall; I'm going to get my identity."

At the same time, in East Demon Feather, not far from the Dao Platform of the Ming Yan Great Emperor, there was a giant peak that shook the world.

This peak did not exist a month ago.

It had only stood up recently.

It was exactly the tenth Sovereign Mountain built by Lu You Lingzi after his return due to his Sovereign cultivation.

At this moment, in the main hall on the top of the mountain, Lu You Lingzi, wearing a golden long robe, was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

His breathing was like thunder echoing, shaking the main hall, echoing on this mountain, forming a terrifying pressure.

And the next instant, his eyes opened suddenly, as if stars were blooming with brilliant light inside.

His eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he raised his hand to take out a jade slip.

Sensing the news about Miss Yuedong's appearance transmitted in the jade slip, Lu You Lingzi's eyebrows wrinkled even tighter.

"I already sent her so far away, and she was still able to run here!"
