Chapter 295

On the flying boat, Lu Yaoyao curiously leaned to Zhou Qing's side, her apricot eyes bright and asked: "Zhou Shixiong, what are you going to do next?"

Zhou Qing looked at her eager appearance, looking like a cat waiting for its owner to take it out.

At this moment, he said helplessly: "You should take care of yourself first. Now that you have reached the late stage of Soul Formation, you must hurry up and find a realm of understanding that suits you."

"I already have a clue!" Lu Yaoyao raised her small face, full of pride.

When Zhou Qing heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he immediately waved his hand: "Stop, don't mention that 'filial piety realm of understanding' of yours to me."

"What's wrong with the filial piety realm of understanding?" Lu Yaoyao stomped her feet unconvinced.

"Do you understand that filial piety makes you strong? I think it's quite good, and next I want to follow you at all times and copy your every word and action!"

As she said this, she took out a picture album directly from the storage bag and shook it in front of Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing only felt his temples jumping.

If you want to be filial, go find the Sect Master Senior Uncle, or your five Senior Brothers. What is it to always follow me.

I am not your dead brother, let alone your dead father.

And I am only a few years older than you. If you call me randomly in the future, or have any thoughts in your heart, I will really have to avoid you.

"Look!" Lu Yaoyao opened the picture album with great interest, and lifelike pictures came into view.

In the sect, Five Sects Treasure Exchange Assembly, Lingku Mountain, border, Bai Yu Taixu Academy...

Too many, too many, every bit of the two people's time together, every detail was outlined by her with delicate brushstrokes.

Even the expressions that Zhou Qing himself didn't notice were accurately captured by her.

Looking at those pictures carrying shared memories, Zhou Qing's heart trembled violently, and his gaze became soft unconsciously.

Looking at Lu Yaoyao's focused side face again, his heart felt mixed feelings.

"At first I just wanted to record it," Lu Yaoyao pointed to the picture album, her eyes full of excitement,

"But as I drew, I found that there is special power hidden in these memories. Li Niang can enter the realm with obsession, why can't I?"

Zhou Qing was laughed at by her innocence, raised his hand and flicked her forehead lightly: "At such a young age, what obsession can you have?"

As soon as the words were spoken, he regretted it.

Lu Yaoyao's smile froze instantly, her expression sad, and she lowered her head without speaking.

Zhou Qing realized he had said the wrong thing, and was at a loss for a moment.

"Sorry, I was joking with you."

Zhou Qing explained in a panic, his voice softening unconsciously, "Actually, this realm of understanding is quite good. In time, maybe you can really walk out of a unique avenue..."

Lu Yaoyao suddenly raised her head, although her eye sockets were red, her eyes were surprisingly bright: "I also feel it's quite good. You are my Zhou Shixiong, and you can be considered an elder."

"As long as I draw every moment we spend together, constantly recall and integrate, maybe I can comprehend the filial piety realm of understanding."

As she said this, she broke into tears and smiled, revealing two tiger teeth, "When my realm of understanding is displayed, I will sacrifice you! Whoever dares to bully me, you will beat them until they are pissing and urinating for me!"

Zhou Qing: "..."

I am still alive, not dead!

How come while comprehending the realm of understanding, it has become a summoning flow?

Even if you summon, don't summon me.

Just about to refute, he heard Lu Yaoyao rub her red eye sockets and said righteously: "So in order to accumulate more material, I have to have more contact with you!"

"You have to take me wherever you go in the future, the more dangerous and exciting the place, the better. Only then will the experience be profound enough to draw!"

Zhou Qing opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

And Lu Yaoyao suddenly lowered her voice, secretly glancing at Shen Yunzhou who was adjusting his breath on the deck: "After the matter here is busy, I will go to contact Sister Shen."

She blinked mysteriously, "If my guess is correct, when the time comes, sacrifice both of you together, come for a mixed double, just thinking about it is exciting!"

Zhou Qing: "..."

"What guess?" Zhou Qing sighed helplessly, but couldn't help his curiosity in the end.

Lu Yaoyao put her index finger on her lips: "Heaven's secret cannot be leaked~"

Zhou Qing shook his head secretly, and had a plan in his heart.

He is going to the border next, relying on script-level divine abilities to condense the Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal. Such confidential matters cannot tolerate any mistakes.

The less Lu Yaoyao knows, the safer she can be.

After solving Shen Yunzhou's matter, he will sneak away secretly.

After a stick of incense, Shen Yunzhou opened his eyes suddenly, and the black-gold dung beetle in his arms had already crawled out rustlingly.

"Beast! Simply a beast!" He stood up suddenly, looking at a certain place below and cursing.

But his eyes burned with fanatical excitement.

"More people died than the Yiyang Sect!" Before the words had even faded, he was already standing on the deck railing, rushing toward the bloody place impatiently.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly, controlled the flying boat and went down.

Just like that, in the following days, Shen Yunzhou constantly unfolded his realm of understanding among the corpses everywhere, and then absorbed the stench to temper his realm of understanding.

Lu Yaoyao was like a persistent shadow, following Zhou Qing closely.

Constantly depicting his various expressions and actions in the picture album.

Until seven days later, the three arrived at the last sect destroyed. Perhaps because of the hot weather, the stench here was not ordinary.

There were flies everywhere. As soon as Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao stepped on the mountain gate stone steps, their stomachs churned, sour water rushed to their throats, and they staggered back repeatedly.

Their faces were pale.

"We won't go in, you can see for yourself!" Zhou Qing said hurriedly.

Shen Yunzhou spread his arms, took a greedy breath, and looked satisfied and satisfied.

"I have a feeling that after absorbing all these, I will have the confidence to go into seclusion and impact the Great Completion of the Divine Transformation realm!" Shen Yunzhou said excitedly.

Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao looked at each other, couldn't help but smile, and congratulated him repeatedly.

The Great Completion of the Divine Transformation realm, the realm pursued by countless people in the five major sects of the Eastern Region for a lifetime.

But this young man from a fifth-grade cultivation country, obviously young to an excessive degree, is already standing at the threshold of breakthrough.

"Zhou Shixiong, thank you!" Shen Yunzhou suddenly turned around, grabbed Zhou Qing's hand and said gratefully.

Zhou Qing hurriedly pulled his hand back and pointed to the mountain of corpses and sea of blood behind the mountain gate: "What is there to thank me for? Just pointed out a direction. If you really want to thank, you should thank them."

Shen Yunzhou also sighed: "People have their own lives, heaven is destined, I, Shen, cannot avenge you, nor can I participate in anything, can only offer a few sticks of incense to express my heart."

After Shen Yunzhou finished speaking, he gathered nine pillars of green smoke in the air with spirit power and burned them slowly.

Afterwards, he followed Zhou Qing and the others with a solemn expression, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply: "Everyone, go well, may there be no war and strife in the next life."

After Shen Yunzhou entered, Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao waited outside.

According to previous experience, this time it would take at least two or three days.

Zhou Qing simply found a corner that was shaded and free from stench, took out a fire-attribute spirit stone, and began to absorb and refine it.

Lu Yaoyao tilted her head, pacing back and forth around.

Finally, she chose an excellent angle, opened the picture album, and began to freeze Zhou Qing's focused profile on the rice paper.

One day later, Zhou Qing, who was originally cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the void above his head vigilantly.

"It seems there is indeed something special. I just deliberately exposed a little bit of spirit power fluctuation, and you caught it!"

The next moment, the void rippled, and then a figure wrapped in a black robe stepped out of the void slowly.

The moment he saw this person, Zhou Qing's heart sank.

"Yan Sen—"

And Lu Yaoyao, who was dozing off, immediately came behind Zhou Qing.

The trembling sound transmission exploded in the sea of consciousness: "It's over! It's that smiling tiger who locked the six-color array and was chased by Sister Shen!"

Zhou Qing didn't answer, a smile just right appeared on his face, and he bowed: "So it's Senior Yan, it's been a long time!"

Although he said so, Zhou Qing's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

Normally, there was no conflict of interest between them, and even when they met on the island, they just reported their names and didn't talk much.

And the other party is a mid-stage Soul Severance expert, similar to Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo.

But the other party comes from a big family in a fifth-grade cultivation country, a fourth-grade array master, and is younger, so his means must be more.

Even Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo probably wouldn't rashly conflict with him without preparation.

At this time, Yan Sen scanned the two from a high position, his gaze staying on the spirit stone in Zhou Qing's hand for a short time.

Then he turned to look at the devastated sect behind him, his mouth hooking into a smile that was not a smile.

"This guy is recovering quite well, it's just that the realm of understanding is a bit disgusting, just like his dung beetle pet."

Although Yan Sen said it with a smile, Zhou Qing could feel his mockery and disdain.

And Shen Yunzhou talked to him, he was able to enter that relic and suffer from ancient toxins, which was the path Yan Sen pointed out to him.

And—

Zhou Qing looked at the note he had for himself on his head, which was still the bright 【Ant】.

"Two, it's really been a long time!" Yan Sen landed slowly.

But looking at the tense expressions of the two, he suddenly laughed loudly, but cold light flickered in his eyes: "Don't be so nervous, I'm not a monster that eats people."

As his gaze turned to Lu Yaoyao, the smile became stronger, but it made people's backs feel cold, "Especially Little Lu, you got Hanyi's true biography, we have to get close in the future."

Lu Yaoyao immediately hid behind Zhou Qing.

"Senior Yan, I am not Sister Shen's disciple, nor did I get the true biography. She just gave me a mental method to cultivate."

Lu Yaoyao said, pulling Zhou Qing's clothes with her fingertips.

Yan Sen's mouth hooked into a meaningful smile: "I know, look at you calling her sister. Strictly speaking, she is also my fiancée, so I can't be biased."

He narrowed his eyes, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes, "Don't call me senior, call me Brother Yan and let me listen."

Zhou Qing frowned slightly, stepped forward to block in front of Lu Yaoyao, and said in a deep voice: "Senior, are you here for anything that needs our help?"

Seeing Lu Yaoyao so resistant, Yan Sen turned his gaze to Zhou Qing's face, his tone slow: "Speaking of help, there is indeed a small matter I want to ask."

Speaking of this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and the aura around him suddenly became cold.

"I had a small conflict with Hanyi that day... well, you know, it's normal for Taoist companions to have small quarrels."

"In order to let her calm down first, I left first to prepare an apology gift for her."

"But when I came back again, I found that you were all gone. Afterwards, where did you go?"

Facing Yan Sen's seemingly gentle inquiry, but with a pressing tone, Zhou Qing squeezed a smile on his face.

Just about to speak, Yan Sen suddenly put his index finger on his lips and made a shushing gesture.

"I am a person who hates being fooled the most."

He stepped forward half a step, and the pressure on him pressed down like a tide, "Change the question, that six-color array was clearly locked by me, how did you get in later?"

Zhou Qing pretended to be calm, but Lu Yaoyao's expression changed slightly.

Seeing that the two didn't speak, Yan Sen paced around the two slowly.

"Don't be afraid to make you laugh, Hanyi and I are both four-color array masters. She condensed ten thousand spirit seals, and I have two thousand more than her."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes like knives.

"This time I also brought Eighth Uncle, he is not far from a fifth-grade array master, but he has no clue at all about breaking the array."

"So I am really curious, how did she get in to find the shape-shifting divine medicine and save my little brother-in-law? Or, what is the significance of you two being there at that time?"

Yan Sen suddenly leaned close, a cold smell of blood came, and an invisible pressure shrouded him.

Even the air instantly became viscous as if frozen. Zhou Qing only felt his eardrums buzzing, and even breathing became difficult.

Facing a Soul Severance expert, even if he had many means, it would be of no avail.

Because the two are not in the same order of magnitude at all, and he also said that he brought his Eighth Uncle.

Obviously, they know very clearly about himself and the Taiqingmen Sect.

Better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

Yan Sen, a villain who is so vengeful and unscrupulous, is far more difficult to deal with than imagined.

But then again, can he admit it?

The interval between each opening of the Kunpeng Palace is a thousand years. They have already entered last time. If they want to open it again, it will be at least a thousand years later.

The old Peng Emperor, as a Great Completion Soul Severance expert, had no way, so he had to run to the Eastern Region to look for opportunities.

If he tells the truth, do you think someone with Yan Sen's greedy nature will believe it?

It might lead to a series of subsequent troubles.

Pondering for a moment, Zhou Qing pretended to be calm and bowed: "Senior Yan, please see clearly. At that time, Senior Shen and we really couldn't open the array, and the locked prohibition could not be started at all..."

Bang!

Before Zhou Qing finished speaking, a huge force wrapped in black ghostly light smashed into Zhou Qing's chest.

He didn't even have time to think about defense, his internal organs seemed to be crushed by a heavy hammer, and the fishy sweetness surged in his throat.

The whole person flew backwards like a broken kite, his back hit Lu Yaoyao heavily, and the two smashed toward the bluestone archway of the mountain gate.

Accompanied by a loud "rumble", the thousand-year-old stone collapsed, directly burying the two.

In the ruins, Zhou Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, and all the ribs in the collision were broken.

But just for a moment, under the action of the "Subduing Demon Golden Bone", the broken bones were re-spliced at a speed visible to the naked eye, and golden light flickered at the wound.

Zhou Qing supported himself to stand up, his spirit power surged wildly, shaking the buried rubble away.

The angry pupils reflected Lu Yaoyao's weak figure, a suppressed low roar overflowed from his throat, and he rushed to her side in two or three steps.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao was leaning against the stone pillar beside her, the blood overflowing from the corners of her mouth stained her front, and her pale face was covered with rubble and dust.

"Brother, Zhou Shixiong—"

Lu Yaoyao's weak call made Zhou Qing's heart ache.

"Don't speak!" Zhou Qing pressed her bleeding chest with trembling hands, and majestic spirit power injected into her body like a trickle.

Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital parts, but even so, facing a light blow from a Soul Severance expert, it was not something a Soul Formation expert could resist.

At this time, Lu Yaoyao's spirit power dissipated, and the meridians almost collapsed under the blow just now.

Feeling all this, Zhou Qing's spirit power surged violently, his hair danced without wind, and the killing intent in his eyes surged like substance.

Yan Sen looked a bit surprised and said: "Your body is okay, it's so resistant to beating."

"But this look is not bad, there is a ruthless energy."

Looking at Zhou Qing's anger, Yan Sen snorted.

"But in my opinion, weak people, even if they get angry, look so ridiculous."

"I said just now, I hate people who lie to me the most. Don't forget, this young master is also a fourth-grade array master. Whether the array has changed or not, do you really think I can't see it?"

Zhou Qing's neck veins bulged, he stepped forward half a step, the supreme-grade weapon fragment mirror frame in his sea of consciousness trembled violently, directly aiming at Yan Sen, ready to strike at any time.

"Do you know, I like to conquer stubborn people like you the most. The more you resist, the more excited I am."

Yan Sen played with the black mist flowing at his fingertips, his mouth hooking into a cruel arc.

"However, Eighth Uncle is still waiting for me. Since you want to be a hard bone, I will fulfill you afterwards, but for now, I'd better see it with my own eyes!"

After Yan Sen finished speaking, he arrived in front of Zhou Qing instantly.

His fingers suddenly pointed at his eyebrows. Zhou Qing couldn't dodge at all, only feeling a cold breath drilling into his sea of consciousness, taking the depths of his memory like a poisonous snake.

At this moment, he felt unprecedented humiliation, just like when he faced Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo's soul search.

A monstrous hatred burned in the bottom of his heart: Soul Severance realm, Soul Severance realm, one day, I will step your arrogance under my feet and make you pay a hundredfold for what you did today!

However, the moment Yan Sen's spiritual sense touched Zhou Qing's sea of consciousness, before he could do anything, the spiritual sense seemed to be torn apart by some unknown object.

He staggered back three steps, a muffled hum overflowed from his throat.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Yan Sen's expression changed suddenly, he hurriedly withdrew his spirit power, the ghostly light in his triangular eyes flickered violently, staring at Zhou Qing.

"You, let go of my Zhou Shixiong—"

Lu Yaoyao struggled to climb out of the rubble, blood constantly overflowing from the corners of her mouth, her pale face full of despair and anger.

And Yan Sen turned a deaf ear, but looked at Zhou Qing, who was tearing his heart and lungs, the shock in his eyes turning into crazy curiosity.

"Interesting..." He licked his dry lips, a twisted grin pulling at the corners of his mouth.

"Is it a special seal left in your brain by Hanyi? Then I'll see if the prohibition she left is strong enough, or if my spiritual sense is ruthless enough!"

As soon as the words fell, he made a move again, this time obviously being more careful.

But even so, as soon as the spiritual sense entered, it didn't even have time to detect the surrounding environment, and the spiritual sense was torn apart again.

As if it were directly swallowed by something unspeakable.

This made him hum again, and his own spiritual sense also felt the pain of breaking.

"She is just kind-hearted. Obviously the best way to keep secrets is to kill people, but she just doesn't, and insists on setting such a strange seal."

"But this also just shows that you hold the method to open that six-color array."

Yan Sen said to this point, greedy ghostly light flashing in his eyes.

But suddenly, a bone-chilling coldness attacked from the side.

Lu Yaoyao didn't know when she propped up her body, and a crystal-clear ice lotus bloomed in her pale palm.

The surface of the ice lotus flowed with dark blue runes, and each petal condensed sharp ice crystals.

"Let go of my Zhou Shixiong!"

She shouted, and the ice lotus instantly turned into a stream of light and shot out, heading straight for Yan Sen. Wherever it passed, the ground condensed spreading ice patterns.

Yan Sen narrowed his eyes slightly, his mouth hooking into a mocking arc, his eyes full of disdain.

He raised his hand and pointed casually, and the ice lotus carrying the bone-chilling coldness exploded into powder directly in the void.

"Mental method 'Ice Cleansing Art', divine ability 'Ice Lotus', she really passed on good things to you, but unfortunately the strength is too weak, and it can't exert the power it should have at all!"

Yan Sen made a claw with five fingers and sucked Lu Yaoyao over, then grabbed her slender neck with one hand.

"Little girl, do you think this little trick can hurt me?"

He tightened his five fingers slightly, Lu Yaoyao's face turned purple instantly, and her feet kicked in the air in vain.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing's eyes were bloodshot, fearing that she would soul-search Lu Yaoyao again.

Soul searching also has a certain damage to the practitioner, especially the domineering cutting and swallowing of the four flowers, which can be considered a backlash in a certain sense.

He failed twice in a row just now, and he must subconsciously think that Lu Yaoyao's sea of consciousness is also set with a seal.

So he won't try easily again, so as not to cause damage to himself.

If he reacts and goes to search, let alone seeing relevant memories, it will cause irreversible damage to Lu Yaoyao's subsequent sea of consciousness.

After all, the torn sea of consciousness is like broken glaze, and even if it is forcibly repaired, it will be full of cracks.

In the future, every operation of spirit power may trigger the vibration of the sea of consciousness.

Even breaking through cultivation will be like walking on thin ice. A slight carelessness will trigger spirit power runaway.

Lightly, the realm will retreat and become a useless person, and heavily, the body will explode and die.

This is why everyone would rather die than let people soul-search. Ling Xuzi and Tian Shu Zi are, and he himself is when facing Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo.

Watching Lu Yaoyao make a weak choking sound in her throat, the range of her four-limb struggle getting smaller and smaller.

Zhou Qing roared with all his might: "I can let you enter the six-color array!"

Yan Sen turned his head slowly, staring at the killing intent almost overflowing from Zhou Qing's eyes.

Afterwards, he looked at Lu Yaoyao and let out a harsh laugh: "If you were so sensible earlier, why let this girl suffer?"

As he said this, he let go, and Lu Yaoyao slumped to the ground, coughing violently while lying on the ground.
