Chapter 137

Yuan Ya was now seriously injured, and the spiritual power in her body was exhausted. Being able to bring the two here all the way was already close to her physical limit.

Yan Xiaohu understood and immediately began a powerful attack.

In an instant, the barrier rippled. Not long after, three figures rushed out from inside, preparing to repair this place.

"Steward Xia!" Yuan Ya saw the person who hurried over and waved her hands excitedly.

And the middle-aged man who landed was also stunned after seeing Yuan Ya.

The Soul Lamp Tower was set up in the inner sect. This morning, Elder Zou Hong self-detonated and died, and her soul lamp went out instantly. Yuan Ya, as Elder Zou Hong's first disciple, also had her soul lamp gradually dimming.

Because there were too many people attacking the barrier, he was also sent out to lead people to repair various places. He thought Yuan Ya had lost her life, but he didn't expect to meet this girl here.

He was about to say hello, but immediately saw the two people standing behind her.

One of them was covered in blood and wearing Jin Leizong attire, while the other was even wearing a mask.

Was Yuan Ya being held hostage?

This was Steward Xia Ye's first reaction, and he even retreated vigilantly.

And seeing him like this, Yuan Ya reacted instantly and hurriedly said: "Steward Xia, don't worry. These two are disciples of the Taiqing Sect. Our reinforcements have arrived."

Yuan Ya said excitedly.

Yan Xiaohu also hurriedly wiped the blood mud off his face and took out his identity token: "Yan Xiaohu of the Taiqing Sect's Xiaoling Peak!"

Yuan Ya was stunned and subconsciously looked at Yan Xiaohu.

Aren't you called Zhang San?

And Zhou Qing also took off his mask, revealing a delicate face, and said: "Zhou Qing of the Taiqing Sect's Xiaoling Peak!"

Since they were about to see Immortal Xuanyou, the two didn't need to cover up anymore. After all, Immortal Xuanyou was quite familiar with them.

Xia Ye widened his eyes instantly, looked at Zhou Qing excitedly, and said loudly: "I've seen your portrait, Zhou Qing of Xiaoling Peak!"

Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu was instantly unhappy.

Is it necessary to hit me twice in a row in such a short time?

"This Steward... Steward Xia, right? There's also me." Yan Xiaohu pointed to himself and said.

After hearing this, Xia Ye just nodded politely to Yan Xiaohu and replied casually: "Hello!"

Yan Xiaohu: "..."

"Wait a moment!" After confirming the authenticity of the two's identities, Xia Ye left in a hurry.

After all, this inner sect barrier, except for the Supreme Elders, could not be opened by others.

Not long after, an old man in green clothes with a pale face flew over quickly.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!" Yuan Ya saw the person coming and hurriedly bowed.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu also hurriedly followed suit.

At this moment, Supreme Elder Xin Songming looked at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu, full of excitement, and asked eagerly: "Are you from the Taiqing Sect?"

Xiu xiu xiu!

Before the two could answer, dozens of "Jin Leizong" figures also discovered the movement here and quickly rushed toward this side.

Xin Songming didn't care to ask anything more and immediately opened the barrier, letting the three in.

Boom boom boom!

Immediately after, powerful attacks arrived with a boom, causing the barrier to ripple instantly.

"Wait for me for a moment!" Xin Songming snorted coldly, seized the opportunity, flashed his figure, and rushed out violently.

In an instant, the aura of the Great Perfection of the Soul Transformation realm permeated. Those "Jin Leizong" people saw this and were so scared that they turned and ran.

But how could Xin Songming let them go easily? He had been holding a belly full of fire these past few days.

Only hearing screams one after another, in the blink of an eye, those dozens of people turned directly into blood and spilled down from the sky.

But when he returned, a mouthful of blood was sprayed out violently.

"Are you alright?" Seeing this, Yuan Ya hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Xin Songming waved his hand, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

It was obvious that he hadn't been able to fully recover in the past two days; the backlash was truly too severe.

At this moment, Xin Songming looked at Zhou Qing and the two, and asked eagerly: "Where are the reinforcements from your Taiqing Sect?"

Zhou Qing felt a bit empty in his heart upon hearing this.

Where else could they be? The main force didn't come at all; it was just to deceive Xuanji Zi.

As for the eighteen people including the Sect Master, heaven knows where they went.

Zhou Qing could only think of the possibility of "besieging Wei to save Zhao" now.

It was either the Cangyan Dao Palace or the Tianji Sect. After all, this time was the best opportunity to steal the crystal.

Yan Xiaohu saw this situation and hurriedly said: "Reporting to Senior, this matter is quite secret. We need to see Immortal Xuanyou to report truthfully."

After hearing this, Xin Songming couldn't help but frown, but had to say: "The Sect Master also just woke up today. Follow me."

Afterward, everyone headed toward the depths of the inner sect.

After arriving at a great hall, they saw Immortal Xuanyou, whose face was as pale as paper, sitting in the center of a healing array.

Around her, there were seven other Supreme Elder powerhouses who were also closing their eyes and healing.

And Immortal Xuanyou, who had long known the specific situation, slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Qing at a glance.

"It's really you, Taiqing Sect... cough cough... when will you come? How many people came?" Immortal Xuanyou's eyes were full of eagerness, and she asked weakly.

The two looked at the scene in front of them. It didn't look like a bitter-meat scheme. Otherwise, to lure the Taiqing Sect into the trap, it would be too desperate.

Yan Xiaohu subconsciously looked at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing stepped forward, bowed, and didn't respond directly to Immortal Xuanyou's question, but said: "Reporting to Senior, the one attacking your sect this time is not the Jin Leizong, but the Cangyan Dao Palace. As for those people outside, they are disguised by the Tianji Sect using the Heavenly Mechanism Art."

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Immortal Xuanyou's eyes were full of shock, and the other Supreme Elders also opened their eyes one after another, all with expressions of disbelief.

"Cangyan Dao Palace and Tianji Sect? How is that possible?" Xin Songming on the side staggered directly.

Originally, he thought it was the Jin Leizong colluding with others to strike, but he didn't expect it to be the Cangyan Dao Palace and the Tianji Sect joining forces.

"I can prove that what Zhou Qing Shidi said is true!"

Seeing that everyone looked suspicious, Yuan Ya on the side hurriedly spoke, and then told everyone about the situation she encountered one by one.

Zhou Qing also described the situation of the Taiqing Sect. Although the specific situation was not yet clear, the Sect Master and the others would definitely come to rescue.

"So we were sent to see the specific situation of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong first, and tell Sect Master Xuanyou the rescue information. Just persist a little longer, the Taiqing Sect will arrive soon!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he bowed and locked his gaze tightly on Immortal Xuanyou, observing quietly.

And Immortal Xuanyou acted as if she had lost her soul, seemingly still digesting the previous information.

Finally, after about a few breaths, a prompt sound rang in his ears.

The original 【Taiqing Sect Disciple】 entry note on Immortal Xuanyou's head was replaced in an instant by 【Savior bringing good news】.

Witnessing this scene, Zhou Qing's hanging heart was finally completely let go.

Only in this way could he not live up to the painstaking efforts of Sect Master Shibo and the others.

At this moment, Immortal Xuanyou stared at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu, feeling more admiration in addition to being moved.

Especially Zhou Qing, who had no signs of spiritual power fluctuations around him at this moment, but even so, he still went through many difficulties and obstacles to come and tell them this good news.

It also showed the importance the Taiqing Sect attached to them.

"Thank you!" Immortal Xuanyou said weakly.

Zhou Qing was also in a good mood and said: "Sect Master is too polite, this is what should be done."

"Has your Eldest Shixiong returned?" The next moment, Immortal Xuanyou asked suddenly.

Zhou Qing's mouth twitched slightly, shook his head and said: "Sect Master Shibo is afraid that disciples who go out will encounter ambushes on their way back, so he ordered everyone not to return to the sect in the short term."

Yan Xiaohu had a look of eating melons, looking at Immortal Xuanyou's disappointed expression, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Big sister, look at you, you are injured like this, and outside it is even more shouting and killing. The sect is almost unable to be kept, and you are still thinking about your Sanhua Juding. How hungry and thirsty must you be."

Supreme Elder Xin Songming also breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that the Taiqing Sect had fully supported them.

But now the Jin Leizong has lost contact, and the Tianji Sect has colluded with the Cangyan Dao Palace. All they can do now is wait.

It's just hard for the disciples of the outer sect.

"Zhou Qing, Yan Xiaohu, right? You rest here, don't go out for now. Yuan Ya, go to the array to heal first."

After Xin Songming settled everything, he and the other Supreme Elders discussed things with solemn expressions.

And Yan Xiaohu, who was sitting on the side, saw Zhou Qing nod to him, and felt relieved.

No, I'm just strange, can you really smell these things like conspiracies and calculations?

"We came in too early, I didn't even touch a few storage bags," Yan Xiaohu transmitted his voice and complained.

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head, saying: "No way, who told us to bump into Yuan Ya Shijie first? But you can ask Sect Master Xuanyou for some hard work money."

He didn't care about this, the sooner he proved that this was not a trap, the more at ease he felt.

…………

In the horizon, the warships covering the sky and the sun were approaching the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong rapidly, and Sikong Yan, who was standing at the bow of the ship, had a deep frown, always having a sense of unease in his heart, as if he had ignored something extremely important.

Just at this moment, he spread his palm and stared at a jade talisman that was constantly shining for half a moment.

"So that's it!"

After activation, words began to appear.

Sikong Yan let out a long sigh and immediately issued an order for all warships to return immediately.

"What's wrong?" An old man at the Great Perfection of the Soul Transformation realm flew over quickly, full of confusion.

Sikong Yan's expression was calm, and he said: "This move of the Jin Leizong has come alive. It seems that the next step will be a protracted war."

The old man was stunned first, then cursed angrily.

"Trash is trash after all. They even swore that they could persist for at least ten days. Even if such goods are helped up, they are just straw bags!"

Sikong Yan laughed lightly: "Precisely because they are straw bags, they are easier to control, aren't they?"

"Just go back like this?" The old man was still unwilling.

Sikong Yan looked at the mountain silhouettes that could already be seen in the distance, but the corners of his mouth raised an arc of a smile: "This pool of stagnant water has finally moved. How good!"

…………

"Sect Master, Supreme Elder, they retreated, those people outside retreated!"

Just at this moment, Steward Xia Ye ran into the hall with a flushed face, extremely excited. Because he ran too fast, he stumbled several times, but he didn't care at all, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Everyone stood up immediately, and Xin Songming arrived in front of him in an instant.

"Are the reinforcements here?" Xin Songming asked eagerly.

Xia Ye shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know, in short, those people attacking the inner sect barrier have retreated."

"Perhaps the other party wants to use this to lure us out!" A Supreme Elder spoke after pondering.

Others also nodded slightly, not ruling out this possibility.

And Immortal Xuanyou looked at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.

At this moment, the two also looked at each other. Yan Xiaohu immediately took out his identity token and sent a message to Mo Xingjian.

After about a few breaths, Mo Xingjian actually replied with a message.

First was the shock of why the two were here at the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong?

And then informed them that he and the Jin Leizong powerhouses were approaching here quickly, telling him not to take Zhou Qing running around.

The light in Yan Xiaohu's eyes flourished, he stood up abruptly, looked at Immortal Xuanyou, and said: "They're here!"

Since the messages from both sides could be received, it was enough to show that the distance was very close.

Hearing this, Immortal Xuanyou's delicate body shook violently, and even her whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Afterward, she bit her lower lip, stood up with effort, and looked fiercely outside the barrier, with anger erupting in her eyes.

"Killing so many people in my sect, and now you want to leave just like that!" After Immortal Xuanyou finished speaking, she could no longer care about her whole body's injuries, and her figure disappeared from the spot instantly.

The other Supreme Elders, after being excited, also had cold expressions one by one, with cold killing intent in their eyes, and chased out without hesitation.

"Master, do you see it?" Yuan Ya cried with tears, and then picked up her weapon and rushed out angrily.

"All disciples of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, obey the order, kill for me!"

Immediately after, Immortal Xuanyou's roar, filled with endless grief and indignation, was like rolling thunder, resounding through the entire world in an instant.

Upon hearing the Sect Master's voice, countless disciples were instantly boiling with blood, their eyes red, and they let out earth-shaking roars, like a surging tide, chasing and killing madly.

At this moment, the entire hall was quiet, leaving only Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.

"Finally, it's about to end!" Zhou Qing looked at the people who started to counterattack and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

And Yan Xiaohu let out a scream and said: "Old Four, supreme-grade spirit stone, look, it's a supreme-grade spirit stone!"

Zhou Qing turned his head and saw Yan Xiaohu excitedly lying on an array corner position, excitedly holding tools and prying it out.

And after Zhou Qing walked closer, he found that there was actually a supreme-grade wood-attribute spirit stone embedded in the groove on the ground.

Looking at the color, the energy inside was extremely abundant, and it should have been put down for no more than two days.

And at this moment, Yan Xiaohu's eyes were almost glowing green.

"Before, when Immortal Xuanyou was healing in the array, I felt that this place was extremely extraordinary. I didn't expect them to fill it with supreme-grade wood-attribute spirit stones."

"Oh my god, last time at Lingyun Mansion, the Chaos Xuanjin we sold to the auction house, in the end, we only split two ordinary supreme-grade spirit stones each. This is the best wood-attribute supreme-grade spirit stone among the five-element spirit stones for healing."

"Didn't come in vain, this time really didn't come in vain. What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and find if there are any more."

Yan Xiaohu said to Zhou Qing quickly while prying excitedly.

I don't know why, looking at Yan Xiaohu's excited appearance, Zhou Qing felt inexplicably familiar.

Right, in the third coffin of the cave, at the bottom of the magma, he was prying supreme-grade fire-attribute spirit stones like this at that time.

"Is your skin thin again? This is a rare wood-attribute supreme-grade spirit stone. We took such a big risk, came thousands of miles to report the good news, and gave them a reassurance pill. This is the reward we deserve."

Seeing that Zhou Qing was still motionless, Yan Xiaohu urged again.

Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly, and then acted quickly.

Soon, he found a supreme-grade spirit stone at another corner of the array and hurriedly took out the tetanus-inducing sword to pry it.

In a short time, each person had two more wood-attribute spirit stones.

"This Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong is rich enough. They can collect so many such rare spirit stones. Look, there are still some at these corners!"

Yan Xiaohu's drool was almost falling to the ground, and he was about to run over to continue prying, but just at this moment, an old coughing sound suddenly sounded.

The expressions of the two changed instantly.

Yan Xiaohu reacted extremely quickly, instantly putting the spirit stone into the storage bag, flashed his figure to Zhou Qing's front, and skillfully helped him put it away.

Immediately after, he patted Zhou Qing's shoulder with a serious expression and said earnestly: "Old Four, I think it's not good to do this. Although we came here under great risk, and encountered encirclement and interception by the Cangyan Dao Palace on the way, and were injured repeatedly."

"Especially you, with no spiritual power to rely on, you came here resolutely with only a heart of blood and sincerity. Just like the Five Sects Treasure Exchange at that time, you helped the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong find people regardless of life and death, and were tragically retaliated afterward."

"Even if Master and the others are about to arrive, and will assist Sect Master Xuanyou to resist the invading enemy to the death, we, as core disciples, cannot act like this, right?"

Zhou Qing looked at Yan Xiaohu in a daze.

No wonder you have a round face and small eyes, and you don't grow a beard until now. It turns out your skin is too thick to grow at all.

"Forget it, at this moment we should help the fellow Daoists of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong and keep those animals here forever in one go, what do you think?" Yan Xiaohu said.

Watching Yan Xiaohu winking at him constantly, Zhou Qing was speechless, but had to follow his words: "I think Third Shixiong is right."

"It seems our thoughts coincide. Haha, no time to lose, let's go quickly!"

After Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he pulled Zhou Qing and left quickly.

A Supreme Elder who returned walked out slowly, shook his head with a bitter smile, put away the healing array, took some items, sealed the hall, and left in a hurry.

"Wow, storage bag, so many storage bags!"

"Can't open it. Looking at the mountains and rivers embroidered on it, it seems to be the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong. Forget it, it is estimated that the person is not dead, so let's leave it for him."

"Poor and sour, running to attack others, why do they carry so little money."

"This one is about the same, I like it."

…………

When everyone followed their own Sect Master with full anger to chase and kill the invading enemy, in the rear, two figures were shuttling between many corpses, looting wantonly.

However, they did not touch any storage bags belonging to the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, even if the soul marks on them had long since disappeared.

These people all died in battle for the sect. If they were treated like this after death, they would be too inhuman.

Third Shixiong is a principled person after all, just like every time he goes back to find Sect Master Shibo for reimbursement, he has never reported even one more spirit stone.

What he pays attention to is seeking truth from facts. He will never shirk what he deserves, and he will never take a cent of money that is not his.

"Pay attention, they are back!" Just after the two collected thousands of storage bags one after another, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly reminded.

Zhou Qing turned his head and saw a large number of Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong disciples returning while supporting each other.

Witnessing the broken walls around and the corpses of their fellow disciples, some people couldn't help but cry sadly.

Immortal Xuanyou also looked around with a sad face. At this moment, her heart was full of pain.

If the position of Sect Master had not been passed to her back then.

If she hadn't cultivated the forbidden technique, she wouldn't have to suffer in pain every day, and she wouldn't have asked the Supreme Elders for help.

Now, not only did she implicate them, but she almost caused the entire sect to be destroyed.

How could she be worthy of the trust of so many disciples?

A Supreme Elder beside her saw this and patted her shoulder lightly to show comfort.

Afterward, Immortal Xuanyou cast her gaze on Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu below. Seeing that the storage bags on her own disciples' corpses were still there, she didn't say anything.

This look is the idea of that round-faced, small-eyed Yan Xiaohu. After all, Zhou Qing is pitifully an ordinary person now, and he has no use for these things at all.

At this moment, meeting the gazes of Immortal Xuanyou and the others, Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but smile awkwardly, wondering in his heart why they kept staring at him.

Just at this moment, several figures rushed over from afar. It was the Taiqing Sect group and the supporters of the Jin Leizong, and even the real Sect Master of the Jin Leizong, Lei Wuji, was among them.

Several Supreme Elders of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong led the way in front.

Mo Xingjian arrived instantly, first looked at Zhou Qing, who was safe and sound, with concern, and then glared fiercely at Yan Xiaohu.

If it weren't for the many people here, considering your face, I would have finished repairing you or not.

In such a dangerous place, you brought Old Four here. Don't you know what his identity is now?

Yan Xiaohu and Zhou Qing lowered their heads skillfully and didn't speak. They knew that this scene couldn't be avoided before they came.

Anyway, this trip was not a loss. They admitted it whether they were beaten or scolded.

"Thank you all fellow Daoists for your righteous help. The Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong will definitely remember this great kindness!" Immortal Xuanyou bowed to everyone to thank them.

It turned out that not long after they chased out, they met Cao Zhengyang and the others. After the two sides joined forces, they launched a comprehensive pursuit.

Cao Zhengyang and Lei Wuji and the others just sighed and said polite words.

"Everyone, please!" Immortal Xuanyou issued an invitation.

Regarding the matter of the Five Major Sects next, they need to take this opportunity to discuss a proper plan.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu had to follow along.

But the discussion time was not long, and the Taiqing Sect and the Jin Leizong left.

Because the real elites of the Cangyan Dao Palace have not appeared yet, and now they are all concentrated here. If those two families cooperate again and raid the headquarters, the consequences will be unimaginable.

On the way back, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu learned from Mo Xingjian about the whereabouts of everyone before, the changes that occurred in the Jin Leizong, and a series of arrangements such as the Supreme Elder leading the elite disciples to raid.

This made the two admire Sect Master Shibo more and more.
