Chapter 416: Knife Testing

Qingpingzi stroked his long beard:

"Master wants you to stay in the Imperial Capital and observe Yun Qingqing more closely."

Cang Qi nodded thoughtfully:

"I see. Master, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill your mission."

He thought about it and asked tentatively:

"Master, why did the virtual butterfly become like that in Yun Qingqing's hands? Didn't she use some tricks to create a phoenix phantom?"

Qingpingzi glanced at him and snorted:

"What do you think a virtual butterfly is? Can it be controlled by magic so easily?"

Cang Qi touched the back of his head and became even more confused:

"But the Void Butterfly has always been used once. There has never been such a phenomenon. I have never heard of it being able to stay after measuring the luck."

Qing Pingzi said quietly:

"That's just not in your knowledge."

"Ah? Master, are you saying..." Cang Qi was slightly surprised, and felt that the Regent Princess was more and more unusual.

"...It's not clear yet." Qing Pingzi shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, the master has already made a decision with her to take her back to the sect. We can only wait and see about this matter after we return."

…

More than an hour later, at the Regent's Palace.

As promised, Xiao Changheng came to Yun Qingqing's courtyard to find her.

Yun Qingqing threw him a waist pendant:

"The previous amulet is broken. You can use this one from now on."

Xiao Changheng took the waist pendant and was slightly stunned:

"Broken? That's why you took it away?"

Yun Qingqing nodded.

"..." Xiao Changheng fell silent and slowly tightened his fingers.

It was only when he was trapped in the Qiankun Furnace that he realized that there was a trace of Yun Qingqing's spiritual consciousness in the amulet. He couldn't help but worry that the amulet would be broken and her spiritual consciousness would also be affected.

He hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a cold voice:

"Are you okay then?"

“…No problem.”

Yun Qingqing wanted to say that it was thanks to him that the divine consciousness did not dissipate, but she had become accustomed to seeing this person being indifferent and distant these days, so she was in no mood to explain more. She just raised her chin towards the new amulet:

"I added some potency to it, it might be a little heavy, you can try it first."

Xiao Changheng withdrew his gaze and carefully examined the waist pendant in his hand.

I saw that the waist pendant was still an octagonal plate, made of neither gold nor jade, and as black as ink.

It feels cool and comfortable to the touch, like the finest jade, and its smooth and moist surface reflects a faint metallic cold light.

Xiao Changheng could tell at a glance that the Bagua formation engraved on the sign was more intricate and exquisite than the previous one. There were also mysterious and complex patterns engraved on the other side, which showed that this was another formation.

Something seemed to be about to overflow from his eyes, but he suppressed it silently.

"Well, thank you." He said calmly.

Yun Qingqing lowered her eyes and said:

"Put a drop of blood on it and try it."

Xiao Changheng pricked his finger as instructed, and a drop of blood dripped onto it.

In an instant, the pitch-black waist pendant suddenly glowed. Xiao Changheng was overwhelmed by a mysterious feeling and found himself establishing a connection with it.

This feeling is hard to describe, but he realized in an instant that there was another world inside the waist pendant, a small space with a few things inside.

"This is..." He was surprised and his mind moved. Those things suddenly disappeared from the space and then appeared on him.

Xiao Changheng lowered his head in shock and saw a complete set of light armor on his body. It was also made of jet-black material that was neither gold nor jade, and it emitted a faint cold light.

He looked at his hand again. The hand that was originally empty was now holding a dark long sword. It was extremely heavy, but when he raised his hand, he felt it was effortless to wield it.

An idea suddenly popped up in Xiao Changheng's mind, and he turned to look at Yun Qingqing.

Seeing that he had understood the use of the waist pendant, Yun Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, raised her hand and gestured, saying:

"I'll find someone to come and try these things out with you to see if they work."

Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt someone approaching. He immediately turned around and saw a young man in a dark blue robe with a feminine and delicate face walking towards him.

His eyes turned fierce, and he said coldly:

"Chu Jingyan! Why are you here!?"

Chu Jingyan smiled slightly and did not answer, but suddenly threw out a few talismans, raised his hand and made a gesture, and the talismans formed a formation around Xiao Changheng in a moment, and cold rays of light with murderous intent attacked him!

Xiao Changheng's face froze and he immediately dodged several cold lights, but there were too many of them and one of them finally went straight to his face. He turned around with his knife and slashed at the cold light. With a sharp sound, the cold light was shattered.

He glanced at the intact black sword in his hand, and felt a little relieved, concentrating on dealing with the increasingly fierce attack of the cold light.

Chu Jingyan was outside the formation, watching him deal with the several cold lights in the formation with ease, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yun Qingqing walked to the side and said calmly:

"You don't have to hold back. You can try to see if you can defeat him with all your strength."

Chu Jingyan looked at her in a daze, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly curled his lips.

"good."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his hand gestures changed. Several talismans floating in the air suddenly glowed with a cold light, and the formation became more and more dangerous.

Xiao Changheng immediately staggered back a few steps and was finally hit on the shoulder by a ray of cold light.

But there was a sharp sound, and the cold light was blocked by the dark light armor, and Xiao Changheng was unharmed.

After knowing that this light armor could withstand these strange cold lights, his pressure was suddenly reduced a lot. He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he understood something, and continued to deal with the attack of the formation while concentrating on thinking.

Chu Jingyan looked at Yun Qingqing in surprise again:

"Master, this is..."

Yun Qingqing nodded:

"It's what you were thinking of, top-grade armor and weapons. So again, you don't have to hold back."

"I understand." Chu Jingyan chuckled when he heard it, and then his expression became serious. He bit his finger and made the gesture again.

With a "hum" sound, the entire formation was filled with cold light, and a violent torrential rain of attacks swept towards Xiao Changheng!

Xiao Changheng's eyes turned cold, and he instinctively exploded his internal strength. He ignored all attacks, aimed at Chu Jingyan's direction, and swung his sword fiercely.

Chu Jingyan was slightly stunned, and then he saw a sword energy wrapped in sharp spiritual power, which instantly broke the formation and came towards him with unstoppable force!

His pupils shrank sharply and he subconsciously raised his right wrist. A spiritual light burst out on his wrist, and the Star Bracelet flew out to meet the sword energy and collided with it, causing a loud bang.

A white light flashed, and the sword energy finally disappeared into thin air. The Star Bracelet returned to Chu Jingyan's hand. He was still stunned and looked at Xiao Changheng in disbelief.

Xiao Changheng fought fiercely for a while, his eyes became fierce, and he subconsciously raised his knife and swung it towards Chu Jingyan again!

Another sword energy, carrying powerful spiritual power, came straight towards him!
