Chapter 252

Listening to Watching Yan Sen's words, Six's chest heaved violently, her teeth clenched, and her face was covered in frost.

Seeing this, Watching Yan Sen said at a very fast speed: "I know what you are looking for. Don't worry, your brother's matter is my matter, the shape-shifting divine medicine matter is on me..."

Whoosh!

Before he could finish speaking, Six launched an attack instantly, and countless ice crystals burning with flames shot directly at Watching Yan Sen.

Seeing this, Watching Yan Sen immediately tore open a space crack and ran away.

Six followed closely and chased after him quickly.

Looking at the two closed space cracks, Zhou Qing blinked.

"Shape-shifting divine medicine? Saving brother?"

Thinking back to what Six said to him in the forbidden area of the Shenxu Tiangong, Zhou Qing seemed to understand something.

Lu Yaoyao also blinked, full of excitement.

"I still have an uncle?" She muttered to herself in her heart.

Soon, Zhou Qing, who had reacted, hurriedly pulled Lu Yaoyao and hid.

This place is the demon beast's territory. Now that two Soul Severance experts are chasing and fleeing, plus the heaven and earth vision of activating the six-colored barrier just now, it might attract some terrible existence.

According to the deduction, this should already belong to the territory of either Wei Lun Yao or Qing Luo Beast.

"Zhou Shixiong, what now?" After hiding and restraining her aura, Lu Yaoyao said worriedly.

Zhou Qing also looked at the water pool with a solemn expression.

Six said before that the six-colored barrier here must not be attacked by force, or it might completely seal the ruin entrance.

And then this happened, making him not even get a chance to be useful.

This Watching Yan Sen is also a villain.

Sneaking in, attacking and destroying without permission, and not saying a word. Whoever it was would be furious.

"What else can we do? We should be worried about how to go back now!" Zhou Qing looked around.

Heaven knows how long it will take for the two Soul Severance experts to chase each other. If Six doesn't come back, he can only transform into a Golden-Winged Peng and enter the border from the Taiyao Mountain side.

Or, he could also go from the Thousand Illusion Maze. Anyway, the Spider Emperor has fallen, and the group of dragons has no leader. Other demon beasts fear the Peng Emperor's prestige, so even if they see him passing by, they probably wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt a little more at ease.

Just like this, he waited until dark, but no one appeared.

"Don't move around, I'll go take a look!" After Zhou Qing instructed Lu Yaoyao, silver light flashed under his feet, and he carefully approached the water pool again.

Only after releasing his spiritual sense to determine if there was any danger did he perform an appraisal.

After all, it would refresh in two hours, so he might as well use it.

What's more, if he could successfully enter, Six would have to share some of the treasures obtained inside with him.

【Water Pool: This is a water pool that looks ordinary on the surface, but actually hides a six-colored array underneath. Unfortunately, after being attacked by others, it has triggered the array's self-protection mechanism and is now completely sealed!】

Seeing the feedback information, Zhou Qing sighed and sneaked back again.

There was no other useful information, it seems he can only wait until tomorrow.

"Zhou Shixiong, how is it?" Seeing Zhou Qing come back, Lu Yaoyao asked anxiously.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly and joked intentionally: "The water is a bit cold, not suitable for bathing."

Lu Yaoyao: "..."

What time is it, and you're still joking.

【Today's post is refreshing...】

【The new post has been stored in the Strange Qi Qi Tie Lu, please check it in time.】

Just as Zhou Qing wanted to say something, the system's prompt sounded abruptly, making him stunned.

Soon his face was ecstatic.

After several years, the 【Random Post】 actually refreshed again!

But, the 【Corpse Touching Post】 still has one chance to use. Could it be that his previous guess was wrong?

Or is it because the 【Corpse Touching Post】 has been used for the most part that it triggered the refresh of the new post?

Regardless of the reason, Zhou Qing was excited and hurriedly opened the Strange Qi Qi Tie Lu to check.

【Good Luck Post: Can be integrated into oneself or given to others. Once effective, good luck will accompany you, and good fortune will follow one after another. Valid for one day!】

Looking at that familiar post, Zhou Qing beamed.

As far as he is concerned, he likes the Enlightenment Post and the Good Luck Post the most.

Following this.

After all, last time he entered the other party's forbidden area, he used the 【Copy Post】 to directly obtain an inscription-level divine ability that even Er Daye envied—【Hundred Tribulations Blood Curtain】.

"This Good Luck Post must be kept first. In case no one cares, I still have to rely on it to successfully return to the human area!"

Zhou Qing thought to himself and put away the Good Luck Post calmly.

At this moment, he was in a great mood, sweeping away the previous gloom.

"You smiled? Why?" Lu Yaoyao saw Zhou Qing's expression and asked curiously and secretly.

Zhou Qing was stunned and hurriedly covered up: "This is a bitter smile."

Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

At this moment, she felt abandoned again.

"A guy who can't succeed but can fail!" Lu Yaoyao cursed Watching Yan Sen.

But soon she was happy again.

Because her father's love rival played himself to death.

Third Mama values fate so much, she will definitely not have any entanglements with Watching Yan Sen in the future.

The next day, Six still didn't appear. Zhou Qing was about to go up and appraise again, but suddenly his expression changed.

A humid and majestic aura surged in. Having already come into contact with several Demon Emperors, he immediately understood something.

He hurriedly used the "Void Realm Dharma Image" to cover his aura to the extreme and immediately made a shushing gesture to Lu Yaoyao.

The two looked along their gaze and saw a giant beast like a small hill appearing on the island at some point.

Its limbs were thick, like a turtle but not a turtle, and its whole body was covered with a layer of deep blue scales, especially now that clear water was flowing between the gaps of the scales, seemingly just coming from the deep sea.

"Qing Luo Beast—"

Zhou Qing recognized the origin of this beast at a glance. Like the Dragon Emperor and the others, this is a Soul Severance Demon Emperor.

It seems that this sea area is indeed its territory.

It's over, it's really over!

Zhou Qing hurriedly took out the 【Good Luck Post】, ready to activate it at any time, just in case.

And Lu Yaoyao also looked shocked, made a throat-slitting gesture to Zhou Qing, and then pointed at the other party.

Zhou Qing was stunned.

I've killed such a Demon Emperor?

Is it in your dream again?

At this moment, this Demon Emperor was vigilantly looking around, pacing around the water pool, its huge tail dragging behind it, emitting a unique tremor.

As it walked, it brought its nose close to the water pool, sniffing hard, seemingly capturing the strange aura remaining in the air.

Until the next moment, the Qing Luo Beast's originally focused pupils suddenly shrank, and its gaze shot toward Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao's hiding place like two cold, icy rays.

The pupils instantly ignited with vigilance and hostility, and the crystal clear water flowing between the scales now became turbulent and surging, turning into sharp arrows, ready for battle.

Seeing this, the two felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar. Lu Yaoyao turned pale and looked at Zhou Qing for the first time.

Zhou Qing furrowed his brows, fine sweat oozing from his forehead, his eyes staring closely at the approaching Qing Luo Beast.

He made a shushing gesture to Lu Yaoyao again, signaling her to remain quiet.

Lu Yaoyao widened her eyes in horror, nodding hard, her lips tightly closed, her body trembling slightly.

Screech—

Just as the Qing Luo Beast was about to test an attack, a piercing screech resounded through the sky, followed by a golden light shooting straight into the sky.

The Qing Luo Beast's pupils narrowed, only to see a huge Golden-Winged Peng in the air, majestic, its huge wings waving constantly.

Especially the feathers all over its body flashing with a metallic luster, like carefully forged golden scales.

At this moment, one of its claws was steadily grasping a "fainted" human girl, and its sharp eyes were staring at the Qing Luo Beast below.

Looking at the somewhat familiar yet somewhat strange Golden-Winged Peng, the Qing Luo Beast was obviously stunned.

"Brother Feng?" The Qing Luo Beast's eyes widened, asking in disbelief.

The Dragon Emperor and the Spider Emperor said that the Peng Emperor of Taiyao Mountain was still alive. He didn't believe it before. Last time he went to visit to test the truth, he was told by that old monkey that Feng Feng Xuan Ling was already in seclusion.

Now it seems that this time he went to the human interior, he seems to have obtained unimaginable benefits, directly undergoing a major transformation.

Look at these golden feathers, they are almost approaching the true Golden-Winged Peng clan.

Zhou Qing saw this, then imitated the Peng Emperor's majestic and dignified voice, snorted coldly, and said: "It's been a long time!"

The Qing Luo Beast laughed loudly, and the originally surging water-type spiritual power around it also gathered in at this moment.

"Brother Feng, it seems you have obtained a great opportunity this time. You have undergone a earth-shaking change, making me almost unable to recognize you!"

The Qing Luo Beast laughed while shaking its head, its face full of seemingly warm smiles, but a hint of suspicion flashed in its eyes.

Zhou Qing looked down at the Qing Luo Beast from above, his voice rolling like a bell: "Can't recognize me? Have I changed that much?"

"But I heard that during the time I was away, some people were very covetous of my Taiyao Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the Qing Luo Beast's expression turned stern.

"Rumors, absolutely rumors. Our demon race is one body, and we help each other on weekdays. How could I have such a foolish thought of coveting Taiyao Mountain!"

Soon it thought of something and hurriedly said: "Was it those two guys, the Dragon Emperor and the Spider Emperor, who said it? Brother Feng, they are closest to you, you must be careful of them."

"You don't know, not long ago, they even contacted me, hoping to join them to test your Black Feather Peak!"

"It seems to be that ugly woman, the Spider Emperor, who awakened some 【Heavy Pupils】 and can silently open your five-colored barrier!" The Qing Luo Beast reminded.

Zhou Qing didn't expect that Six wasn't the first person they tried to win over, and soon mocked.

"I know, so, she's dead!" Zhou Qing said flatly.

The Qing Luo Beast nodded subconsciously, echoing: "That's right, they really deserve to die, kicking others when they're down... wha, what?"

The Qing Luo Beast reacted just as it said this, staring straight at Zhou Qing, seemingly suspecting it had heard wrong.

Zhou Qing's expression was calm, meeting the Qing Luo Beast's gaze frankly, and said clearly again: "I said, the Spider Emperor, Ye Luo, is dead!"

The Qing Luo Beast stared blankly at Zhou Qing, thinking he was joking.

Just as it wanted to say something, a human-bodied, fish-legged Demon King jumped up from the water in the distance. It looked at the Golden-Winged Peng in the air in shock and bowed repeatedly.

Then it took a conch and ran quickly toward the Qing Luo Beast.

After the Qing Luo Beast took it, it stuffed it directly into its ear, and soon looked at Zhou Qing in shock.

【The Spider Emperor has fallen. Now the Dragon Emperor of Blood Prison Mountain is snatching the corresponding resources, and the Demon Emperor Wei Lun Yao has already headed to the Thousand Illusion Maze half an hour ago!】

Zhou Qing knew what had happened by looking at its expression, but still pretended to be calm.

If he showed even a little flaw at this time, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun a Soul Severance Demon Emperor.

"You, did it?" After confirming the news, the Qing Luo Beast didn't even notice it itself, its voice trembling involuntarily when asking this question.

For so many years, although there were small frictions between Demon Emperors, they generally maintained a delicate balance and would not easily start a full-scale war.

After all, all parties not only hide countless trump cards, but also have to guard against other forces with ulterior motives, such as humans.

Furthermore, if they really want to face each other, with the strength of the Demon Emperors, it would be difficult to distinguish the winner without ten days or half a month.

But now, without any sound or omen, that poisonous woman died?

In this way, there is only one possibility—the Peng Emperor, Feng Feng Xuan Ling, has broken through to the mid-stage of Soul Severance, or even stronger, forming a crushing kill on the Spider Emperor.

The Qing Luo Beast looked at Zhou Qing, who was golden all over and whose aura was unfathomably restrained, and a chill surged in its heart.

Facing the Qing Luo Beast's inquiry, Zhou Qing snorted coldly again, neither admitting nor denying, just coldly spitting out a sentence: "Reaping what you sow!"

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, the Qing Luo Beast's heart sank even further.

Could it be that the balance that the demon race had painstakingly maintained for so many years was about to be broken?

"I'm not interested in the Thousand Illusion Maze. If you go now, there's still a chance. As for how Ye Luo died, you can ask the Dragon Emperor!"

Zhou Qing reminded unhurriedly.

The Qing Luo Beast showed hesitation, and the look in its eyes toward Zhou Qing added a bit of awe.

It bowed, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared in an instant.

The Soul Formation Demon King responsible for reporting the news saw this, hurriedly bowed, and followed in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing looked at the 【Good Luck Post】 that had already been activated on his body and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

From the moment he was discovered by the Qing Luo Beast, he decisively activated the post.

After all, with his current strength, he had no chance of winning if he ran, so he could only hope that the Jin Peng true form would fool the other party first.

But the other party is a Demon Emperor after all, not a fool.

Therefore, he could only rely on the 【Good Luck Post】 to bet that the other party wouldn't doubt him.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad!

At the critical moment, someone happened to come to deliver the news, successfully leading the Qing Luo Beast away.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao, who was being held by Zhou Qing's giant claws, also woke up from her "faint," her eyes full of worship.

【Heart Mirror Point +9】

The 【So Powerful】 originally displayed on her head turned directly into 【So Alert】.

"Zhou Shixiong, amazing. Your psychological quality is nothing to say. How did you think of using..."

Lu Yaoyao opened her mouth excitedly, but before she could finish, lightning arcs surged under Zhou Qing's claws, instantly shocking Lu Yaoyao into a twitch.

The next moment, he saw the Qing Luo Beast return, and there was even a hint of suspicion on its face.

"I suddenly reacted to one thing. The Spider Emperor is dead, you are not interested in her territory, but you appeared here. You... shouldn't be trying to steal my home, right?"

The Qing Luo Beast questioned vigilantly.

Zhou Qing: "..."

Big brother, hurry up and leave. I really can't pretend anymore.

Steal your home?

I don't have that leisure time.

Looking at Lu Yaoyao, who had been shocked until she was smoking, Zhou Qing pretended to be calm: "I'm just resting here for a while, and I'll leave soon. Don't worry."

The Qing Luo Beast listened, and looked at the weak human girl who had been shocked until she was in a sorry state, seemingly understanding something.

But it still couldn't rest assured. In this day and age, who can truly trust whom?

"Brother Feng, to be honest, are you setting up something here to target me? For the past few days, I have been in seclusion, but I have already felt the powerful energy fluctuations here three times. Am I... the next Spider Emperor?"

The Qing Luo Beast said this, its eyes narrowed suddenly, and its expression became more vigilant.

Being able to kill the Spider Emperor so cleanly, this Feng Feng Xuan Ling must have used some secret means he didn't know about. It really can't be guarded against!

Zhou Qing cursed in his heart after hearing this.

Obviously, this Demon Emperor had already become suspicious of him.

If he left now, the other party would definitely keep a close eye on him.

The key is that he couldn't tear space and escape instantly like a Soul Severance expert, which was undoubtedly the first flaw.

If the speed of leaving was a little slow, would the other party suspect that he was seriously injured in the battle with the Spider Emperor?

As long as he tested it slightly, he would be completely exposed.

Good Luck Post, Good Luck Post, hurry up and give me some good luck.

Zhou Qing prayed anxiously in his heart.

"How about we go together?" The Qing Luo Beast took a step forward, its gaze fixed on Zhou Qing, suggesting.

Zhou Qing chuckled.

Do you have to be so stubborn, big brother!

Seeing Zhou Qing not speaking, cold light flashed in the Qing Luo Beast's eyes, and its eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Brother Feng, do you have any concerns? After Ye Luo died, you didn't return to Taiyao Mountain, but came to my territory silently. What exactly do you want to do? Or, are you... unwell?"

The Qing Luo Beast said while taking a step forward, and a strong sense of oppression surged toward Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing only felt his heart beating wildly, his brain running fast, frantically thinking of countermeasures.

But no matter what method, in front of a Demon Emperor, it was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, with no chance of winning at all.

Just as the Qing Luo Beast was about to test further, black snowflakes suddenly began to fall over the entire island.

Such a strange scene made the originally vigilant Qing Luo Beast feel suspicious, and it looked up subconsciously.

Only to see a veiled woman's figure stepping through the air in the sky.

The woman's face was livid, and a bone-chilling cold aura radiated from her body. Wherever she passed, the space trembled.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing felt settled in his heart, and even a urge to cry surged up.

I thought you had abandoned us and didn't want us anymore.

And the Qing Luo Beast suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, and immediately looked at Zhou Qing.

"Give you three breaths, get lost!"

Six's red lips parted slightly, her voice cold as a cold pool, without a hint of temperature, but as if carrying ten thousand jun of force.

The moment it felt this terrifying pressure, the Qing Luo Beast's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, it immediately drew a space crack, drilled into it, and disappeared.

And Zhou Qing was also relieved, hurriedly landed, light flashing around his body, and transformed into his true form.

"You shocked me, you actually shocked me!"

Before Zhou Qing could catch his breath, Lu Yaoyao's eyes turned red, tears swirling in her eyes, she grabbed Zhou Qing's arm, and her bright tiger teeth bit down fiercely.

For a time, a layer of hard golden scales appeared on Zhou Qing's arm, colliding with Lu Yaoyao's teeth, and sparks flew everywhere.

Zhou Qing hurriedly comforted her with a smile. After all, in that situation, he had no other choice, otherwise they would both be finished.

"Senior!" Zhou Qing bowed to Six, full of the feeling of surviving a disaster.

Lu Yaoyao rubbed her aching teeth, and seeing Shen Hanyi land, she was also full of joy.

She knew that Third Mama wasn't that kind of person.

But looking at Shen Hanyi's appearance now, it was obvious that Watching Yan Sen didn't catch up.

For a time, the two didn't dare to speak, fearing to touch the bad luck, just standing quietly on the side, secretly observing her every move.

And Six walked straight to the water pool, standing quietly by the pool, not saying a word.

Zhou Qing glanced at the already activated 【Good Luck Post】 without a trace.

This thing is only valid for one day. If they go back now, it would be a waste of this rare good luck bonus.

Such a precious opportunity should be used where it counts.

Just as Zhou Qing was about to speak, Six suddenly turned around.

The crimson on her veil was so eye-catching.

"Sorry for the trouble this time!" Six's voice carried a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

After saying that, she raised her hand and took out two supreme-grade spirit stones, handing them to Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao, as a reward for their hard work over the past three months.

"Once the six-colored array is locked, I can't open it with my ability. This time you ran for nothing. I'll send you back now!" Six's words were full of regret.

Lu Yaoyao clearly felt Shen Hanyi's low mood and hurriedly pulled Zhou Qing's sleeve.

In her heart, her father seemed omnipotent, always able to handle everything others couldn't.

"I like that wood carving very much, but I'm afraid I can't send you back to the sect this time. After reaching the border, I still have some things to deal with, so I have to leave first!"

After Six finished speaking, she waved her hand gently, and the flying boat they came on appeared.

Zhou Qing looked at the supreme-grade spirit stones floating in front of him, didn't reach out to take them, but gritted his teeth and said: "Senior, can you reopen that six-colored array and let me take a look!"

Six heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but look at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing hurriedly explained: "My luck has always been good, maybe I can see something."

Lu Yaoyao heard Zhou Qing say this and helped out on the side, saying urgently: "Big Sister, my Shixiong has successfully condensed one thousand spiritual seals now, even fiercer than back at Canglan Mountain. He must have a way."
