Zheng Lingxiao's face was extremely embarrassed. Including the Xie family, all the people from the three families present had ugly expressions. Even the other major families that arrived later did not greet them.
The five family forces that came later, when they saw the three of them, all showed intriguing expressions on their faces.
"How come the three of them got together and didn't fight?"
"Who knows? Let's not meddle in other people's business."
Leng Qingning seemed to sense something big from these people's faces, and for a moment, she couldn't help asking, "Brother Jiang, do you know anything about the grudges between these families?"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Leng would be interested in these family secrets. Then I will tell you. Anyway, this matter is no longer a secret in Fentian City."
"Originally, the second young lady of the Xie family and the second young master of the Zheng family were engaged since childhood. They grew up together and entered the Liuyun Sect together. Who knew that Jing Qianqian would appear halfway? Ever since Zheng Lingxiao heroically saved the beautiful girl, Jing Qianqian has been obsessed with him."
"Everyone knows about the engagement between the Zheng and Xie families. Jing Qianqian is Jing Shuangshuang's younger sister. They are both born as concubines. Compared to Xie Lanxue, who was born into a legitimate family, has stunning beauty, and possesses a mutant ice spirit root, they are a world apart."
"Just when everyone thought Jing Qianqian and Xie Lanxue were no match, they actually fell in love. It's said that Xie Lanxue nearly killed Jing Qianqian several times out of jealousy. After this incident, the marriage between the Xie and Zheng families naturally fell through."
Leng Qingning couldn't help but look at Xie Lanxue. Such a beautiful and charming person with an ethereal appearance didn't look like someone who would intentionally kill someone for a man. There must be some unknown secret.
However, she was not interested in these secrets at the moment.
As more and more people arrived, nearly a hundred more independent cultivators arrived, bringing the total to three hundred. All fifteen immortal cultivation families, large and small, from the entire Burning Heaven City had arrived.
These disciples are all the geniuses of the younger generation in the clan. Most of them are disciples of the sect, or they have obtained their places in exchange for benefits given by the sect to several families.
When these people saw the three hundred independent cultivators including Leng Qingning, they all showed displeasure on their faces.
"Didn't we say we'd already driven away a lot of wandering cultivators? Why are there over 300 more? Luckily, there are enough spots this year."
"Hey, this is not the place for you. Get out of here!" On the Yang family's side, a young man with a feminine appearance began to drive away a group of people including Leng Qingning.
"Why? We were the first to arrive here. Besides, this secret realm has no owner. Why do you want to drive us away? Aren't you big families too overbearing?" Jiang Feng's words hit the heart of all the independent cultivators.
Everyone drew their swords and gathered together, staring at him with hostility.
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.
Yang Kangle didn't expect that just a few words from him would trigger all these wandering cultivators to attack him. They were indeed a group of barbaric guys who were not worthy of being on the stage.
The young man beside him frowned and glanced at Leng Qingning and the others, revealing an indifferent look. Then he said, "Alright, forget about those casual cultivators. The secret realm is about to open."
This man is like a crow's mouth, with a blessing in his mouth.
As soon as the words fell, the entire mountain range was suddenly enveloped in light. Before anyone, including Leng Qingning, could prepare themselves, she could hear the screams of the disciples from the aristocratic families, and she was taken to an unfamiliar place.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was so irritated by the dazzling white light that tears streamed down her eyes.
She opened her eyes tentatively, and it took her a long time to recover.
Unexpectedly, she found herself standing on a wooden bridge. Under her feet and around her was a huge lake as clear as a mirror.
The lake water was so clear that it sparkled, and all the creatures in it could be seen clearly. All she could see was her own reflection. The dazzling light just now was emitted from the lake surface.
In the center of the lake in front, there are several islands of varying sizes. The one closest to her covers a large area. There is a three-story wooden attic on the island. Next to the attic, near the lake, there is a huge peach tree with peach blossoms falling everywhere.
The other islands were shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see what was inside.
She thought about it, then stepped onto the island cautiously holding the silk thread in her hand, but she didn't dare to relax for a moment.
It was too quiet here. There was no sound either on the lake or on the island. A faint strange vision floated over.
She subconsciously held her mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the unknown fragrance.
“Rustle~”
The sound of leaves being crushed suddenly came from behind. Leng Qingning turned around vigilantly and saw a little deer blinking its big watery eyes, coming over to look at her curiously.
There was actually a deer here, how come she didn't notice it at first?
The man and the deer stood there in a stalemate for nearly a quarter of an hour. Finally, the deer lost its patience and began to speak in human language.
"You're such a boring person. I wanted to spare your life and play a game with you. But since this is not a compliment, just come and die with me!"
Leng Qingning: “…” Still standing here intact, watching it entertain itself as if it were a retard.
"How could this happen? Why haven't you died yet?" Xiaolu said in disbelief.
I guess it refers to the strange fragrance just now.
Leng Qingning was in no mood to continue playing with it, so she killed it with one knife. Since this guy wanted to get rid of her, there was no need for her to show mercy.
Just as she was hesitating whether to enter the three-story attic, another voice appeared.
"Damn you lowly human! It's a great honor for you to be able to accompany this lady's beloved pet. Not only did you not play with my fawn, but you even dared to kill it. I will kill you to avenge it!"
Just as the sound of crisp bells was heard, a girl in exotic purple clothes fell from the sky, her almond-shaped eyes glaring at her, and she threw the silk ribbon on her shoulder towards her.
"You are too overbearing. It was your little Lu Xin who wanted to hurt my life. It is only natural for me to kill it." Leng Qingning was furious. She drew out a dagger and cut off her silk ribbon.
"Bah! What qualifications do you, a lowly human, have to compare with my little deer? All of you deserve to die!" The silk ribbon in her hand stretched out again, and the girl's moves were ruthless. The silk wrapped around her and instantly turned into a cage that wrapped around her, vowing to take her life.
Since this girl is so hot-tempered, Leng Qingning will not hold back. She will never let go of someone who wants to kill her.
The girl had a smug look on her face, but when she looked at the white silk wrapped in front of her, she felt vaguely uneasy.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a burst of cold air spread out into the sky, the silk in her hand broke instantly, and a lightning net fell from the sky and wrapped her up.
