Chapter 244: Notes on the entries from the man in white (6k)

"The hatred of today, I, Zhou Qing, will keep in mind! Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, just you wait, I will definitely settle this account! This matter will absolutely not end like this!"

Countless disciples of the outer sect heard this roar and looked up one after another.

Looking at the shocking Golden-Winged Peng, the disciples couldn't help but show shock, whispering to each other, completely unaware of what had happened.

But the two words "Zhou Qing" were heard clearly.

Especially many disciples, deacons, elders, etc., in important positions, couldn't help but change their expressions.

They quickly retreated quietly and reported the situation to their respective masters at the fastest speed.

"Old cow eating tender grass, not good, I think!"

The man in white still had his back turned, then his figure flashed, and he quickly followed in the direction Zhou Qing left.

"Chase!"

Seeing this scene, Immortal Xuanyou was anxious and immediately used her movement technique to chase after him.

The three old women were also full of panic.

Once Zhou Qing escaped and told the Taiqing Sect about today's events, it might directly trigger a war between the two sects.

And that man in white who didn't know where he came from ruined their entire plan; it was truly hateful to the extreme.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's Jin Peng true body flapped its wings with all its might, flying toward the outer sect mountain gate at the fastest speed.

Now, he could finally use the "Di Huang Jing" without any scruples.

Previously, his main concerns were the Peng Emperor and Xuan Yuan Shuo.

Now, one had fallen, and the other thought it was a gift from the Second Grandfather, and to a certain extent, had requests of him.

Then what else did he have to worry about?

"Their mountain gate is about to close, you only have ten breaths of time!" The man in white's voice exploded in his ear suddenly.

Zhou Qing's heart tightened suddenly.

Immediately after, he saw a white light faster than his speed, heading straight for the mountain gate, disappearing from his sight in an instant.

Zhou Qing's expression was complex; he didn't expect that at that critical moment, this person would appear at the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong and secretly transmit his voice to him.

And the condition for helping was only to ask for a strange talisman paper that had made him unlucky for three days at the academy back then.

He was truly very curious about that thing.

Zhou Qing naturally agreed, but when it could be brushed out again depended entirely on luck.

Swish!

Just as Zhou Qing's thoughts were surging, the three Supreme Elders were the first to catch up.

One of the old women had a sinister gaze, and spiritual power condensed rapidly in her hand.

In an instant, over a hundred cyan wind blades flashing with cold light appeared out of thin air, and then were thrown hard toward Zhou Qing's back.

Feeling the fatal threat coming from behind, Zhou Qing's heart shrank suddenly, and he immediately mobilized the spiritual power stored in the golden flower.

Instantly, his whole body was shrouded in a layer of brilliant golden light, his speed increased rapidly, and he dodged most of the wind blade attacks dangerously.

However, several wind blades still landed on his back cunningly.

Sparks flew for a while, and Zhou Qing couldn't help but groan.

After all, he was only in the early stage of the Soul Formation realm, while the other party was a long-famous Great Perfection existence, and the strength gap was huge.

"Dead old woman, you are old after all; is this little attack scratching an itch for me?"

Zhou Qing endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly, pretending to be relaxed.

At the same time, the speed of the spiritual power in his body was faster, and his whole person was like a golden stream of light, galloping forward.

Hearing this, the three old women's murderous intent became even stronger.

The development of this situation had long been completely out of their control.

At this moment, they had no time to care about Immortal Xuanyou's condition, and there was only one thought in their hearts: Zhou Qing must not be allowed to escape.

"Kill!" The three looked at each other, a trace of determination flashing in their eyes, and then chased after Zhou Qing regardless of everything.

But the Jin Peng that Zhou Qing transformed into was truly amazing in speed. Even if the three of them chased with all their might, in this short time, they couldn't shorten the distance between them.

Fortunately, they had already used the message token to inform the barrier-guarding elder at the mountain gate to close the barrier.

In this way, as long as Zhou Qing was trapped inside the mountain gate, they could catch a turtle in a jar.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" An old woman roared angrily, and a simple bowl suddenly appeared in her hand.

The old woman held the bowl with both hands, picked up a small bone hammer, and struck it hard.

"Dong!"

As the knocking sound rang out, a visible ripple spread rapidly from the bowl as the center.

Wherever it passed, space was distorted, and everything became slow.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing was shocked, which reminded him of the "retreat, retreat, retreat" big drum of his Third Zhou Shixiong.

There was no time to think too much; he quickly formed seals with both hands.

In an instant, a huge Golden Crow appeared out of thin air, its whole body burning with golden flames, long-crying, carrying endless heat, and roared toward the rear.

Upon contact with the ripple, it exploded directly.

Suddenly, powerful energy fluctuations scattered, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

Zhou Qing used this thrust to increase his speed again.

Soon, Zhou Qing finally saw the outline of the outer sect mountain gate of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, and the protective barrier that was slowly closing.

At this time, the man in white raised his hand and struck, knocking the gate-guarding elder away, and escaped out himself.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes, the spiritual power in his body operated to the extreme, instantly transforming into the second form of the Jin Peng.

At this moment, his whole body bloomed with more dazzling golden light, and he suddenly folded his wings, like a golden lightning bolt rushing toward the mountain gate.

"Stop him! Absolutely cannot let him go out!"

Seeing this situation, the three old women's faces turned as pale as paper, their eyes full of fear and despair.

They accelerated one after another, attacking Zhou Qing regardless of everything, and various interception divine abilities poured toward Zhou Qing frantically.

Zhou Qing ignored it, his eyes only on the mountain gate that was about to close.

At the moment before the mountain gate was about to close completely, Zhou Qing tried his best, his wings flapped violently, bringing up a violent hurricane, and rushed out of the mountain gate at an unparalleled speed.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came, and Zhou Qing's body collided violently with the mountain gate instantly.

In an instant, the defensive array at the mountain gate flickered, making a violent tremor, and the entire mountain gate shook because of it.

Bang—

Outside the mountain gate, because Zhou Qing's speed was too fast, he directly hit a mountain peak uncontrollably, and a human-shaped depression appeared instantly.

Gravel fell rustlingly, and Zhou Qing spat out a mouthful of blood.

But looking at the mountain gate that had been completely closed, a trace of luck flashed in his eyes, but more was the monstrous anger.

"Almost lost my body here, Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, the humiliation suffered today, I, Zhou Qing, will definitely pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!!"

Zhou Qing's murderous intent surged, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and fled rapidly.

"Quick, quick!"

The old woman who arrived at the mountain gate saw the array closed, anxious, and hurriedly activated it again.

However, activating this defensive array again required at least ten breaths of time.

Such time was enough for Zhou Qing to disappear without a trace.

Immortal Xuanyou also finally caught up.

She looked at the mountain gate in despair, and the disciples who came out from every corner, poking their heads, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

"This time, it's over..."

Taiqing Sect!

Soul Lamp Tower!

When seeing the soul lamp belonging to Li Bin, the head of the Spirit Field Department, extinguished, Elder Jiang Pu opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

There was no time to think carefully, he contacted Sect Master Cao Zhengyang urgently.

At this moment, Cao Zhengyang and the three Supreme Elders, as well as several peak masters, were excitedly setting up the two-color array refined by Zhou Qing.

When receiving the news from Elder Jiang Pu, his whole person froze instantly.

"How is it possible? Are you sure?" Cao Zhengyang hurriedly sent a message to ask.

Soon, Jiang Pu sent back the news with absolute certainty.

"What's wrong?" asked Tong Min, the peak master of Yuqing Peak.

Cao Zhengyang frowned tightly, the good mood of today disappeared instantly, and then looking at the crowd, his face showed solemnity: "Li Bin, has fallen!"

"Impossible, I saw him return a few days ago, how could he suddenly fall?" Ling Yuexiao, the peak master of Baizhan Peak, directly refuted.

Everyone couldn't help but look at him in unison.

Ling Yuexiao added with a firm tone: "Absolutely true, he seemed to go to Qingmu City to hand over affairs, and returned the night Zhou Qing came out of seclusion. I even greeted him at that time."

The few looked at each other.

Li Bin, as a mid-stage Soul Formation powerhouse, also shouldered the important position of the General Head of the Spirit Field Department, managing the food supply of the Taiqing Sect.

Clearly he had already returned to the sect, how could his soul lamp be extinguished?

Could it be that inside the sect—

Thinking of this, Cao Zhengyang was in no mood to continue setting up the array, and hurriedly used his token to send a message to Li Bin, but waited for a long time without a response.

"It's truly a bad thing!"

Now, six peak masters were in full seclusion to break through to the Great Perfection of Soul Formation, and there was also a Supreme Elder who carried everyone's hope in refining the Nine Nether Lotus Seeds.

If there was a threatening existence in the sect that could kill a Soul Formation powerhouse silently, one could see the seriousness of the situation.

Cao Zhengyang instantly turned into a stream of light and flew toward the Spirit Field Department.

Others also hurriedly moved to find out who Li Bin had seen and where he had gone since he returned.

Including whether anyone had noticed where spiritual power fluctuations had occurred, etc.

Half an hour later, Tong Min brought Elder Wu Zhu, with a look of horror, to find Cao Zhengyang who was coming out of the Spirit Field Department.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the abnormal expressions of the two, Cao Zhengyang's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

Dang! Dang! Dang...

Not long after, bursts of urgent and loud bell ringing suddenly resounded through the world.

The disciples who were concentrating on cultivation were all disturbed by this bell, stopped their cultivation subconsciously, looked up, and looked at the direction the sound came from with full of astonishment.

When the ninth bell rang, everyone finally looked horrified.

When the Five Sect War started in the past, when the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong sent people to ask for help, eight bells rang.

And nine bells had never rung, because that was the bell ringing related to the life and death crisis of the sect.

For a time, countless disciples moved one after another.

At the same time, a majestic and full of dignity voice resounded throughout the Taiqing Sect.

"All disciples listen to the order! Our Taiqing Sect's Little Sect Master Zhou Qing went out four days ago with Li Bin, the head of the Spirit Field Department. The route is unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown until now."

"And just now, Department Head Li Bin's soul lamp has been extinguished; he has fallen."

"All disciples immediately enter a state of combat readiness, listen to the command of each peak master, or act on their own, and search for the whereabouts of Zhou Qing and Li Bin with all their might."

"Once there is any clue, there will be a heavy reward!"

Hearing Sect Master Cao Zhengyang's words, everyone's faces were full of disbelief.

Now that the Five Sect War had finally ended, was this going to start a new round of war?

Who was so bold as to dare to have designs on their Taiqing Sect's Little Sect Master?

And, Li Bin, as the head of the Spirit Field Department, was a solid mid-stage Soul Formation powerhouse, and he died so unclearly?

For a time, many disciples couldn't care about anything else, moved one after another, and turned into a ray of light galloping toward the direction of the mountain gate.

Yan Xiaohu, who was discussing the next business with Niu Guangmo, also had a pale face at this moment.

Old Four had just come out of seclusion, when did he go out?

You know, there were no soul lamps of the few people from Little Spirit Peak in the Soul Lamp Tower.

"What are you still stunned for, hurry up and go find him!" Yan Xiaohu was anxious, hurriedly finished instructing the few, and ran wildly toward Zhou Qing's residence.

Unfortunately, outside the courtyard, there was only a leisurely strolling old hen, and no other traces.

Just as he turned around, he saw Lu Yaoyao falling down on her sword, full of anxiety.

"Isn't Zhou Shixiong Zhou here? When did he go out?" Lu Yaoyao asked urgently.

Yan Xiaohu shook his head repeatedly, his face full of worry: "I don't know either, he didn't greet me."

The two hurriedly used their message tokens to send messages to ask, but there was no response at all.

It was estimated that the distance was too far, and the message could not be delivered at all.

"Go!"

Yan Xiaohu hurriedly greeted Lu Yaoyao and left Little Spirit Peak quickly.

At this time, after leaving the mountain gate of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, Zhou Qing used all his strength and fled rapidly.

Soon, he received the voice transmission from the man in white again.

After a brief hesitation, he immediately changed direction.

Until he landed in a quiet mountain valley, and the man in white was standing there leisurely with his hands behind his back, as if looking up and appreciating something.

As soon as Zhou Qing landed, he quickly took out a pill, swallowed it, and then operated the "Yin Yang Jue," rapidly absorbing the medicinal power.

"When did you return from Haomiao Mansion?" Zhou Qing asked while healing.

The man in white said indifferently: "A few days, about the same as you."

Zhou Qing looked up at the top of his head, and there was no 【Fish】 note from Sikong Yan on him. It seemed he had guessed wrong; these two had nothing to do with each other at all.

However—

Zhou Qing looked at him and whispered secretly in his heart: "Bind Lin Jin!"

Soon, the original 【???】 on the other party's head began to be replaced by two golden notes—【Strange】.

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment.

He was actually a strange person in his eyes?

What kind of strange views were these?

But facing such a note, he found it difficult to figure out the other party's true thoughts for a while.

"Thank you very much this time!" Zhou Qing thanked him sincerely.

The man in white waved his hand and said: "It's all up to you, I basically didn't take much action!"

"Attracting attention, intercepting attacks, just these two items, I, Zhou Qing, owe you a favor!" Zhou Qing said seriously.

The man in white's tone was flat, responding: "Don't owe anything, it's just a deal between you and me."

Zhou Qing nodded and said: "That 【Bad Luck Sticker】 is extremely cumbersome to refine, and the required materials are scarce. I can't guarantee exactly when it can be refined, but if it is refined successfully, I will definitely send it to you immediately."

"Not in a hurry, are you San Hua Sanhua Sanhua Juding? They said," the man in white asked curiously.

Zhou Qing's heart jumped suddenly, but soon he laughed out loud, directly raised his hand, and said seriously: "I, Zhou Qing, swear by the Heavenly Dao that if I am San Hua Sanhua Sanhua Juding, my cultivation will never advance an inch in this life."

The man in white didn't expect Zhou Qing to be so direct and was slightly startled.

At this time, Zhou Qing cursed, saying: "Heaven knows what kind of madness they have, saying I am some San Hua Sanhua Sanhua Juding, and wanting to treat illness or something. I think they just want to take my chastity."

Hearing this, the man in white raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and teased: "You are indeed quite fair-skinned, I think."

"I am not a pretty boy!" Zhou Qing immediately retorted.

The man in white raised his foot and left directly: "I will come to find you, wait until you have refined it."

Zhou Qing looked at his back and frowned slightly.

"The binding was successful, it really is Lin Jin. This Concubine Chen has given the current Emperor a green hat!"

Zhou Qing clicked his tongue.

However, according to the eight-tailed Lu Yuanjiu, Lin Jin sacrificed himself back then to find a way out for Concubine Chen in a desperate situation.

Now it seems that he didn't die, but relied on perseverance to live and come out.

Unfortunately, things change, and everything in the past is no longer what it was.

Concubine Chen not only married the current Emperor but also gave birth to a daughter, Xuan Yuan Muqian.

So that night at the academy, he didn't recognize Concubine Chen; it was estimated that his heart had gone cold.

For a moment, Zhou Qing felt some sympathy for him.

However, he soon threw these gossips behind his head; the most important thing now was to return to the sect as soon as possible.

"The Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong has space ships. If I rush straight toward the sect, it is very likely that I will be intercepted halfway. In that case, I will fall into a desperate situation."

Zhou Qing frowned tightly, his face showing thought.

The relationships between the five major sects in the Eastern Region of Lingyun Mansion are complex and intertwined, with moles emerging one after another.

Especially the Li Bin incident, which was even more unexpected.

Who would have thought that a person who was the head of the Spirit Field Department of the Taiqing Sect and occupied such a high position would be a pawn planted by the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong.

But this time he transformed into a Jin Peng and shouted to reveal his identity, presumably the news of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong chasing him would soon spread to other sects.

"The Sect Master should receive the news that I have successfully escaped!" Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt a little more settled in his heart.

After some deep thought, he decided to take a detour, which would be safer.

After his body recovered, Zhou Qing didn't dare to delay at all and immediately set off.

But he didn't expect that in less than half an hour, Zhou Qing, who was rushing forward, suddenly saw a blurred figure in front of him, rushing toward his direction at a very fast speed.

"It's her!" When he saw the old woman's appearance, murderous intent filled Zhou Qing's eyes instantly.

Ji Xuan, the Supreme Elder of the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, was also the one who killed the discarded pawn Li Bin.

She must have been carrying Li Bin's body to mislead the Taiqing Sect, but he didn't expect to return now, and the two bumped into each other.

"Having suffered such great humiliation this time, going back in such a dejected way is not my, Zhou Qing's, style!"

Zhou Qing's heart hardened, his eyes carrying determination and ruthlessness.

"So what if you are at the Great Perfection of the Soul Formation realm? Even if I can't kill you, I have to bite off a piece of your flesh!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing landed quietly, tore his clothes, stained them with blood, and then lay on the ground, looking like he was seriously injured and unconscious.

At the same time, Ji Xuan was anxious, rushing on the road while constantly releasing her spiritual sense, searching frantically in the surroundings.

Just halfway through, she received an emergency message from the Sect Master, urging her to return quickly.

"No, I just don't understand, how could a living person escape in front of so many people? Are they all idiots?"

Ji Xuan cursed secretly, but her speed didn't decrease at all.

Swish!

Zhou Qing, lying on the ground, watched her pass over his head, and although her spiritual sense scanned him, she didn't find him.

This made Zhou Qing speechless. It was obvious that she had ignored him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and shouted to the sky: "I, Zhou Qing, will never die with your Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong!"

Sure enough, Ji Xuan, who was cursing, paused suddenly after hearing this voice, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes instantly.

"No way—"

She muttered to herself in disbelief, then flew down.

Soon, she followed the sound and saw Zhou Qing lying on the ground, his aura withered, motionless.

"Actually fought!" Seeing this, Ji Xuan was overjoyed.

A mere early-stage Soul Formation realm, being able to escape from the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong, had to say, he did have some means.

But that was all.

Until she came to Zhou Qing's side, Ji Xuan couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.

"Run, keep running! Let's see where you can run today!" Ji Xuan stretched out her foot and kicked Zhou Qing hard.

Just as she was about to take out her identity token to contact the sect, she suddenly thought of Zhou Qing's Peng Emperor inheritance, and a trace of greed flashed in her eyes.

She hurriedly reached out to search Zhou Qing's storage bag.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's closed eyes opened suddenly, and cold light flashed in his eyes.

The Tetanus he held tightly in his right hand slashed toward Ji Xuan with lightning speed.

Everything happened too fast; Ji Xuan didn't react at all, and the Tetanus pierced directly through her abdomen.

She exclaimed, and her figure retreated instantly.

Zhou Qing took this opportunity to kick the ground hard with both feet, then rushed forward.

Then he transformed into the second form of the Jin Peng true body again, heading straight for the sky, and in an instant, he pulled a considerable distance from Ji Xuan.

"At such an old age, you are still so greedy. Your Soul Formation realm vigilance has truly been lived to the dogs."

Zhou Qing laughed out loud in the air, full of mockery.

He could fight across realms, but he was far from being arrogant enough to fight to the death with a Great Perfection of the Soul Formation realm.

What's more, this place was too close to the Qingyu Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong; if he was not careful, reinforcements would arrive.

After laughing, he didn't stay long, flapped his wings to accelerate, and fled toward the distance at extreme speed.

Watching Zhou Qing, who withdrew quickly after one hit, Ji Xuan was so angry that her whole body trembled.

Over the years, she had always been the one calculating others, but she didn't expect that today she would be calculated by a junior in the early stage of the Soul Formation realm and suffer such a big loss.

"Hunting geese all year round, I didn't expect to be pecked by a goose one day. It's truly a great humiliation!"

Ji Xuan roared through gritted teeth.
