though she saw no one, she whispered: “Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jing knew Gu Qing was deliberately taking advantage; furious, she kicked him—but he didn’t budge, while she herself was jolted back, injuring her foot; she hopped and screamed, gritting her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Gu Qing, disguised as Yan Nantian, had come to Emei to proclaim Yan Nantian’s return to the Jianghu, letting the world know Yan Nantian had reappeared, using that reputation to deter the Ten Evils from wrongdoing, while Gu Qing himself needed Yan Nantian’s name to legitimize his own emergence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, if you called me Dad, I’d be even happier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing grinned at Zhang Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jing instinctively kicked him again—this time as if kicking iron stone; she cried out in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing crouched down, pinched her foot lightly—felt it small and delicate—and his internal energy, like glowing coals, eased her pain while flushing her cheeks with color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You still must practice yoga.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said indifferently: “When this secret art is mastered, such pain will mean nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jing snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing smiled and surveyed Mount Emei—this place had seventy-two peaks, vast and sprawling; finding the Five Supreme Arts here directly would be extremely difficult, and in this Shu region, divine authority reigned supreme, with countless Daoist temples and Buddhist monasteries, and an array of recluses and mystics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming here felt like searching for a needle in a sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad I don’t have Li Qiushui’s Voice-Seeking Soul Technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing searched for people, he recalled a supreme skill from Tianlong: the Voice-Seeking Soul Technique, by which Li Qiushui could transmit her voice through three layers of ice vaults into the ears of the Heavenly Mountain Old Witch and Xu Ziling; when the Old Witch replied, Li Qiushui instantly knew her location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Qing possessed such a method, he could traverse Emei with Voice-Seeking Soul, calling out names like Xiao Mimi or Shen Qinghong, easily pinpointing their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Gu Qing could only use the “Voice-Seeking Monkey Technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu wu wu wu wu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his throat wheel activated, Gu Qing mimicked monkey cries with uncanny precision, carrying far across Mount Emei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu wu wu wu wu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkeys heard his call and immediately responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing held Little Fairy Zhang Jing’s hand; the two leapt across Emei, following the monkey cries, searching bamboo groves and inner cliffs; after a long call, if monkeys answered, he rushed to investigate nearby; if no reply came, he ignored the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu wu wu wu wu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhi zhi zhi zhi zhi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a cave, Xiangguo Shenjun of the Twelve Zodiacs and Shen Qinghong huddled inside; the distant monkey cries startled them both. “That’s not a monkey’s cry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghong suddenly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghong was chief guard of the three major escort agencies—Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, and Ningyuan. Fourteen years ago, he accepted a high-value mission that drew the attention of the Twelve Zodiacs; he sought Yan Nantian’s protection, but Yan Nantian was on his way to meet Jiang Feng and refused; Shen Qinghong then hid the treasure, and Xiangguo Shenjun came to his door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghong led Xiangguo Shenjun to the treasure vault, cut the rope, and both became trapped in the cliffside cave; their daily food came from Xiangguo Shenjun throwing stones at monkeys, who in turn tossed fruit into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason these two survived was much like Qiu Qianchi’s survival underground by relying on jujube trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it’s not a monkey’s cry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangguo Shenjun said: “Monkeys don’t possess such profound internal energy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation was a shock to Xiangguo Shenjun—he couldn’t fathom why anyone would use internal energy to lure monkeys. The two listened as the voice-imitating caller moved closer and farther, heard the monkeys chattering outside, and both felt a strange sensation: perhaps their fourteen years of isolation were finally ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu wu wu wu wu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the sound came extremely close!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhi zhi zhi zhi zhi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the monkeys chattered; suddenly a gust of wind swept in, revealing two figures—one ragged, barefoot, with a rusted sword at his waist, thick eyebrows, looking half-asleep; the other dazzling red, cheeks flushed, a rare beauty in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangguo Shenjun stared at the ragged man, his heart tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Hero Yan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghong shouted toward the “Yan Nantian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nantian had come—the Jianghu would know peace! Yan Nantian had come—the heavens had returned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghong felt he could finally escape his fourteen-year prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief Shen, you’re indeed here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing, using Yan Nantian’s voice, said gravely: “I’m ashamed to admit, for over a decade I’ve been trapped in the Valley of Evils; only recently was I rescued by a young hero, freeing me from suffering. He told me you were possibly trapped on Emei, so I came all this way to save you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghong burst into tears—fourteen years, he had finally endured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghong wept; Xiangguo Shenjun wanted to cry too—now that Yan Nantian had arrived, he had no chance of survival. He stared at the “Yan Nantian,” voice hollow: “So… those monkey cries earlier… were you calling out to find us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded: “You’re Xiangguo Shenjun, always surrounded by monkeys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangguo Shenjun said nothing; he leapt up, charging straight at the “Yan Nantian”—even if he died, he’d push him off the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was spacious, but the entrance narrow; Xiangguo Shenjun was certain his charge would strike the “Yan Nantian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he lunged, the figure vanished—Xiangguo Shenjun had already shot out over the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing, fearing the cliff’s fall might not kill him outright, swiftly struck from afar—ending him mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief Shen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing turned to Shen Qinghong: “I’ll first carry you up the mountain. Once you leave the cave, immediately summon your escort agency men to Emei and await orders from a young hero named Gu Qing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing began laying his groundwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1100,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","55606f4a233fdc11121b66d3d5c3248ebe787c22755e8ada7186c0e4f76cc5f0","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-168","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-166",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
