Chapter 124: Those with Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown must have a brain-damaged master (6k)

Cao Zhengyang nodded, first glanced at Zhou Qing, and soon noticed Luo Lingling on the side, couldn't help but be a little surprised: "When did you come back?"

Luo Lingling looked embarrassed, and Mo Xingjian had no choice but to say helplessly: "Why do you think I'm here? I was chased and killed here. Being a master like this, how can I have the face to go back? I might as well just wander around outside."

When Cao Zhengyang heard this and looked at Zhou Qing, he understood what had happened.

"Zhou Shixiong, you've come out of seclusion!" Lu Yaoyao held back for a long time, and now greeted Zhou Qing excitedly.

Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yaoyao with a smile and said: "Congratulations, you've stepped into the Jin Dan realm. Let me introduce you, this is my Second Yuan Shijie!"

Lu Yaoyao hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Yuan Shijie!"

Luo Lingling smiled and went over to hold Lu Yaoyao's hand. When she came, she had also learned from Zhou Qing that this girl was not only the new Little Six taken in by Sect Master Senior Uncle, but also a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and her future achievements would be limitless.

Especially when looking for the missing people from the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, she even risked her life to come back to save Zhou Qing.

Not a bad little girl!

"First time meeting, I don't have anything good to give. A small gift, I hope you like it!" Luo Lingling said as she took out a jade box and gave it to her.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Luo Lingling was too enthusiastic, so she had to accept it with a face full of gratitude.

And Cao Zhengyang pulled Mo Xingjian aside, looked around, and said in shock: "I met a few old friends here. According to them, almost everyone in every place witnessed this anomaly. I estimate that our people will be able to arrive in less than a day."

Mo Xingjian was stunned: "Ev-everyone?"

Cao Zhengyang nodded: "Isn't that so? Look over there."

Mo Xingjian looked in the direction Cao Zhengyang pointed, and was shocked to find that the people from the Tianji Sect didn't know when they had arrived and were investigating there.

And the location was exactly where Zhou Qing broke through.

Cao Zhengyang said: "According to them, because this Sand Sea is scorched by the hot sun all year round, plus its special geographical location, it can often form mirage-like scenes. And this time, the Three Flowers... no, it should be Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, happened to be projected out."

"And because the sensation caused by that person was too great, it made the space here completely chaotic. Preliminary estimates are that the entire range of Lingyun Prefecture should have seen it."

Mo Xingjian: "..."

Luo Lingling: "..."

Zhou Qing: "..."

And Cao Zhengyang laughed and said: "According to the first batch of Divine Transformation realm powerhouses who arrived, when they came, the other party had just left, so they didn't see clearly what the other party looked like. But as someone who had just broken through and was adapting to a new realm, wanting to escape from their sight was undoubtedly a pipe dream."

"So, the only explanation is that this Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person has a brain-damaged master, which is why they chose this place."

Mo Xingjian: "..."

"Of course, not necessarily. Maybe the other party knew this place and just wanted to take the opportunity to show off. Damn, it's really enviable!" Cao Zhengyang couldn't help but swear.

Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, simply unprecedented. If only this were someone from their Taiqingmen, maybe it would be the Taiqing Imperial Dynasty in the future.

Mo Xingjian: "..."

"Has anyone found any relevant clues?" Mo Xingjian felt a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly changed the subject and asked.

What he was worried about now was that because the retreat was hasty, some unfavorable things would be left behind.

Cao Zhengyang shook his head: "I really don't know about this. After all, when I came, there were already quite a few people here. If there really was anything, it would have been taken away long ago. You say, who is the other party? Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, tsk tsk, being able to see such a scene in this life is worth it!"

Cao Zhengyang said with excitement on his face and took out an image stone.

"At that time, I thought only I saw it, and I happily recorded it, wanting to bring it back for you to see. What was the scene you saw at that time?" Cao Zhengyang asked curiously.

Mo Xingjian laughed.

I have a high-definition version of the scene here, do you want to see it?

"Me? The same as what you saw!" Mo Xingjian said vaguely.

The two chatted for a while longer. There were more and more people rushing here, all wanting to see the place where the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person was born.

Not long after, they saw people from the Jin Leizong and Cangyan Dao Palace rush over, followed by the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong and Taiqingmen.

Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing without a trace.

Did you see the hungry wolf-like eyes of Immortal Xuanyou just now?

Looking for you!

Are you afraid?

"Sect Master Senior Brother!" People from Taiqingmen came over one after another, constantly expressing their shock.

Cao Zhengyang ordered: "Find this person with all your strength. I want to see how many eyes and arms this god-man who can condense Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown has?"

Without him ordering, many peak masters were also extremely curious.

Now it seems that as long as it's not from the other four major sects, it's fine. No, that can't be said. If it were, it would be even better.

That would inevitably become the target of public criticism.

"It's enough to see from afar, don't make contact!" Peak Master Gao Xuan of the Jinyang Peak said at this moment.

Everyone looked at him, but soon realized, and their faces showed solemnity.

Mo Xingjian said: "It's enough to know, don't let some people with ulterior motives get a handle on it and push our Taiqingmen into the abyss. This matter is of great importance. Sometimes evidence is not needed at all, and you must also be prepared to respond."

Everyone expressed understanding.

Mo Xingjian continued: "But we must still increase our efforts to find them, otherwise others will think that this hot potato is in our house."

Afterwards, more than a dozen peak masters scattered and began to carefully search for any possible clues in the surroundings.

Mo Xingjian took Zhou Qing and Luo Lingling to do the same.

"Did you handle the footprints of those lizards?" Mo Xingjian asked quietly.

Luo Lingling said: "You can rest assured about my work. Also, talk less, don't transmit sound, maybe some people will hear it."

Mo Xingjian: "..."

Not long after, Sect Master Cao Zhengyang greeted people from other sects and led everyone to start searching towards the outer area.

After some fruitless efforts, they gathered together again and began to turn back.

For the next period of time, there is no need to think about it, the entire Lingyun Prefecture will be dug three feet deep to search.

Five days later, everyone finally returned to Taiqingmen safely, and relevant news was passed back one after another.

【The anomaly caused by the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person covered more than 1,400 miles.】

【Countless forces, including Lingyun Prefecture, all saw the four-colored flowers in the sky.】

【The Prefect of Lingyun Prefecture led the crowd to appear in that Sand Sea.】

【Someone once saw that among the eight counties and seventy-two prefectures, three county governors and twenty-one prefects arrived in Lingyun Prefecture one after another.】

【Several princes and princesses appeared in the Sand Sea under the protection of guardians.】

【Two terrifying people descended, suspected to be Soul Severance realm powerhouses. They speculated that the Sand Sea might just be a smokescreen, and the true place of breakthrough was not there.】

【The Shengwu Imperial Dynasty issued a Dragon Order, inviting the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person to come to the Imperial Capital, and they would definitely use the power of the whole country to cultivate them.】

In the room, Zhou Qing looked at the hundreds and thousands of messages every day and couldn't help but feel a headache. He just wanted to keep a low profile, but why couldn't he?

"As I guessed, other Level 4 cultivation nations have also started to enter the Shengwu Imperial Dynasty recently," Mo Xingjian said while drinking tea.

But looking at Zhou Qing's distressed face, he was happy again: "Don't worry, the scene was handled very cleanly, no one will find out. Besides, even if there are other projections, don't forget, we were all wearing hoods and Cangyan Dao Palace clothes, what does it have to do with our Taiqingmen."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had to say that Second Yuan Shijie's caution at that time was not wrong at all.

"Furthermore, the scope of Lingyun Prefecture is so large, finding one person is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. Now there are rumors that the reason the projection range is so wide is that someone deliberately wanted to muddy the waters of the Shengwu Imperial Dynasty, and that Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person should be from another dynasty!"

Mo Xingjian added again.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up: "Did the Imperial Dynasty do it?"

Mo Xingjian nodded: "It should be. What's more, you are an ordinary person now, no one will suspect you."

"I'd better hurry up and practice body refining!" Zhou Qing decided.

While speaking, Yan Xiaohu poked his head in from outside the door sneakily, full of admiration: "Hey, hey, Old Four, chatting, huh."

At this moment, the entry 【Little Junior Brother with a terrifyingly good nose】 on top of Yan Xiaohu's head had changed to 【God-like Little Junior Brother】 while Zhou Qing was in the Sand Sea.

Seeing Old Three's cheap look, Mo Xingjian was helpless.

"You've been looking at Zhou Qing with a very wrong look recently. Pay attention, don't force me to erase your memory!" Mo Xingjian threatened.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly ran in with the food box and closed the door quickly.

"Don't, I've already restrained myself, but then again, Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, who wouldn't be excited? Old Four, are you excited?" Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing said: "It's just like that."

Yan Xiaohu: "..."

"Is the white crane still at the foot of the mountain?" Mo Xingjian asked.

Yan Xiaohu came over, carefully looking at Zhou Qing while saying: "Isn't that so, brother-in-law is inseparable now, but Second Yuan Shijie is fickle. As soon as you came back, she drove him down the mountain. He has now set up a simple tent at the foot of the mountain."

Mo Xingjian said: "Your Second Yuan Shijie said that she has nothing to do with this white crane. If you keep calling him that, be careful about getting slapped again."

"It's not Master, he is the Fourth Prince of the Shengwu Imperial Dynasty. Maybe he will be the new Emperor in the future. Is Second Yuan Shijie stupid? I clearly know how they met and what happened during that time. I can guarantee that brother-in-law is truly devoted to Second Yuan Shijie," Yan Xiaohu said hurriedly.

Zhou Qing hesitated and spoke: "I guess Yuan Shijie might be considering it more comprehensively. Don't forget the weak balance between the dynasty and the sect."

Yan Xiaohu waved his hand, rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Old Four, show the Nascent Soul to Brother again..."

"Get out quickly, haven't you noticed that you've been running too diligently these past few days?" Before Yan Xiaohu could finish speaking, Mo Xingjian grabbed his neck and walked out.

Yan Xiaohu had no choice but to shout: "Food, there is new food I made in the food box, it cost quite a few spirit stones, remember to eat it..."

Watching this scene, Zhou Qing smiled helplessly.

"Xuan Yuan He?" Zhou Qing said to himself. He had seen this person on the second day he returned. He looked like an honest person on the outside, but after Qian Dafu's incident, he dared not judge people by their appearance anymore.

Not to mention the Imperial Dynasty background behind him.

Even if he changed his name, he still had the blood of the Xuan Yuan family flowing in his body. Bones are broken but tendons are still connected.

If the Shengwu Imperial Dynasty encountered danger, he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

"This breakthrough is thanks to Master, but the five supreme-grade spirit stones of different attributes were also saved by him for I don't know how many years. Maybe they are useful, I must find a way to return them to him." Zhou Qing said to himself.

But now, he only had a few dozen inferior-grade spirit stones left on him, let alone paying back the money, his own cultivation in the future was a problem.

He couldn't just lick his face and ask Master or Yuan Shijie for more, what would that look like? Even San Shixiong knew how to be self-reliant.

"If only someone would come to my door and send me money!"

Zhou Qing laughed at himself, then took out the "Yanyang Bati Jue" and the third form of the "Cang Lei Sword Art" given by Master, looked left and right, and began to practice body refining...

At the same time, at the Taiqingmen barrier!

Elder Wu Zhu sat on a stone, eating melon seeds and drinking small wine, watching the scene below with great interest.

The white crane had a pleading look on his face, while Luo Lingling had a cold look.

"Are you leaving or not?"

"I can't bear to leave you!"

"I said, it's impossible between us. If you keep talking nonsense to others with this broken mouth, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Ling'er, from the first moment I saw you, I knew that I wouldn't marry anyone but you in this life. And that time, if it wasn't for you, maybe I would have been trapped in that ruin and died."

"So people shouldn't be handsy. I really regret why I fished you out."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Elder Wu Zhu couldn't help but smile.

Based on his experience as a person who has been through it, even if this Luo Second Girl doesn't like this caterpillar man, she won't be too disgusted. Something else must have happened between the two.

Otherwise, with that girl's personality, she would have kicked him down the mountain long ago, and wouldn't have let him follow all the way, to the point of wasting her breath here now.

But then again, how did this guy get in? And stayed on Little Spirit Peak for more than a month? Could it be that he sneaked in when I was relieving myself?

This is a serious dereliction of duty. Fortunately, the Sect Master and the others are not here. I still have to check the barrier more carefully.

"Fourth Brother?"

Just after Elder Wu Zhu left, a few figures fell from the sky. As soon as one of them landed, he saw the white crane and blurted out a call.

Hearing the sound, the white crane subconsciously turned his head, his brows slightly wrinkled, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

And the moment Xuan Yuan Yichen saw the white crane, an extremely excited expression bloomed on his face. He rushed forward in one step, his face full of surprise, and shouted loudly: "Fourth Brother, it's really you!"

The white crane looked quietly at the excited person in front of him. Gradually, the face overlapped with a certain appearance in the depths of his memory, and he suddenly realized, couldn't help but be surprised: "Old Seven? You've grown so big?"

Xuan Yuan Yichen was so excited that he couldn't control himself, nodding repeatedly, his mouth kept saying: "Fourth Brother, where have you been all these years? Why is there no news at all? Father is missing you very much!"

The white crane just shook his head gently, but didn't explain much, but slowly shifted his gaze to a girl standing on the side.

The girl's black hair was mixed with a few eye-catching silver strands, which fluttered gently in the breeze, looking quite unique.

"Little Nine?"

Xuan Yuan Muqian nodded and saluted immediately: "Fourth Imperial Brother!"

The white crane smiled: "Graceful and elegant, it's really a girl who changes eighteen times."

Xuan Yuan Muqian smiled politely. She didn't have a deep memory of this Fourth Imperial Brother, it seemed like she only saw him once when she was very young.

"Why are you here?" The white crane asked.

Xuan Yuan Yichen said: "Isn't it because of the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person? Many people from the Imperial Dynasty have come. Because it covers the entire Lingyun Prefecture, the currently discovered suspected breakthrough locations have increased to thirteen places. Muqian and I just happened to pass by to find an acquaintance to see something."

The white crane nodded, considering it understood.

"My Da Shixiong is not here!" Luo Lingling also recognized the Seventh Prince. She had heard about the things between them.

Xuan Yuan Yichen noticed Luo Lingling only then. Hearing this, he immediately understood her identity.

"So it's Miss Luo, you misunderstood. This time I came to find Brother Zhou Qing." Xuan Yuan Yichen explained hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Lingling shook her head: "He doesn't have time. If the Seventh Prince has nothing else, please go back early."

After Luo Lingling finished speaking, she issued an order to evict the guests without mercy, and turned to step into the barrier.

The Xuan Yuan Yichen siblings were a little stunned.

"Fourth Brother, did you provoke her?" Xuan Yuan Yichen asked hurriedly.

The white crane said: "I didn't, it was you who touched her pain point."

"Pain point?" Xuan Yuan Yichen was puzzled.

The white crane had no choice but to explain: "The Zhou Qing you are looking for is her Little Junior Brother, but he was crippled by someone..."

Xuan Yuan Yichen and Muqian, who knew the truth, couldn't believe it.

That Zhou Qing, who looked knowledgeable, was actually crushed in his Jin Dan by someone and became a useless person. This, this, this...

"Sigh~~" The two sighed, only feeling that the world was unpredictable.

They also understood Luo Lingling's attitude just now. He also brought things and wanted to find Zhou Qing to take a look, but the other party was in no mood.

"Who did it? I'll kill him!" Xuan Yuan Yichen said aggressively.

The white crane said: "I heard from my Third Brother-in-law that the other party has already been smashed to ashes."

"Third Brother-in-law?" Xuan Yuan Yichen was stunned again.

The white crane felt embarrassed and was about to speak, but looked up at the sky.

The two guardians behind Xuan Yuan Yichen reacted extremely quickly, their bodies swayed, and they immediately protected the two firmly behind them.

Just at this moment, a silver ship decorated with extreme luxury slowly drifted down from the sky.

Elder Wu Zhu, who was checking the barrier inside, saw this situation and dared not be the slightest bit negligent, hurriedly coming out.

The first thing he saw was the acquaintance Seventh Prince and Ninth Princess, and he was a little surprised in his heart. When did these two royal nobles come again?

Only then did he shift his gaze to the long-distance ship that had just landed.

Looking at the flags fluttering in the wind above, he actually felt a bit familiar. After a closer look, Elder Wu Zhu felt a move in his heart.

This seems to be the logo of the famous Wan Xiang Auction House in Lingyun Prefecture.

Just as Elder Wu Zhu was full of doubts, a chubby figure jumped off the ship, and his movements were quite agile.

Behind him, a steward-like old man followed closely. The old man's steps were steady, revealing an indescribable bearing.

Zhang Wan Bao had an excited look on his face, first glanced lightly at the white crane and others not far away, and then cast his gaze on Elder Wu Zhu, followed by a respectful salute.

"May I ask Senior, is this Taiqingmen?" Zhang Wan Bao asked in a crisp and loud voice.

At this time, Elder Wu Zhu stared closely at the steward old man, his heart trembling slightly. Although the other party hadn't released any cultivation fluctuations, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in an indescribable aura.

That feeling was just like facing a giant dragon that appeared to be dozing, but could actually spring up to hurt someone at any moment; it was terrifyingly abnormal.

Elder Wu Zhu dared not be careless. At this time, he hurriedly sent a message to the Sect Master quietly, and then, he calmed himself down and responded: "That's right, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, we are from Lingyun Prefecture. This time we are passing by to visit my two brothers. By the way, one is named Zhou Qing, and the other is named Yan Xiaohu. I don't know if this is where they are?"

Zhang Wan Bao spoke quite fast, his words full of urgency and anticipation.

Hearing that they were looking for the two core disciples of Little Spirit Peak, Elder Wu Zhu's heart, which had been tense to the extreme, finally relaxed a little.

After all, the world has been a bit chaotic recently. After hearing the news that the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person had appeared, experts from all over the place couldn't help but appear one after another, making all parties feel uneasy.

"They are here!" Elder Wu Zhu answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Zhang Wan Bao was overjoyed. He was still worried that he had found the wrong place.

"They are here!" Fu Kui whispered.

Zhang Wan Bao raised his head slightly, his gaze glanced lightly at the sky, his heart was surging with excitement, but he suppressed it, pretending to be calm on the surface, and said slowly: "Grandpa Fu, do you think the 'playing hard to get' strategy that Brother Zhou taught me is effective?"

Fu Kui heard this and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to respond: "This strategy is very effective. Look, isn't Miss Cancan coming to find you intentionally or unintentionally now? It's just that you must not be too distant, you must grasp the measure accurately."

"But I can't just lick my face and welcome her as soon as she finds me. With her intelligence and sharpness, she will definitely see through it." Zhang Wan Bao frowned and said.

Fu Kui shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

At this time, Zhang Wan Bao stepped forward and saluted, saying loudly: "Please ask Senior to report on my behalf, just say that Zhang Wan Bao of the Wan Xiang Auction House has come to visit."

Before Elder Wu Zhu could agree, a hearty laugh resounded all around, and then, Sect Master Cao Zhengyang's figure slowly emerged and walked out.

"I didn't expect that Young Master Zhang and Senior Fu of the Wan Xiang Auction House would come in person. Cao failed to welcome you from afar, I hope you will forgive me!"

Cao Zhengyang was full of smiles, arched his hands and saluted, his words showing humility and politeness.
