Yue Qingling felt as if she had just woken from a long dream.
In his dream, he met the young Li Wan, and the two fell in love and became husband and wife.
Their lives are happy and fulfilling, with no trace of Guo Feng.
But in this dream, dark, indistinct things appeared and surrounded them.
"call……"
Yue Qingling was startled awake.
He felt excruciating pain in his chest and his body was soaked and uncomfortable.
He tried to move his body, but found that he had no strength at all.
He tilted his head and saw that he was under a collapsed waterfall.
He must have been punched here by He Weihan, smashing the waterfall deep in the mountains.
Fortunately, the water in the waterfall brought him healing power.
This is the wonder of the Peach Blossom Enchanting Heart Sutra; as long as there is water, one can cultivate and heal.
He stretched his right arm and took out a picture of a beautiful woman from his storage bag.
He then released Long Qilan.
"My God, I've been calling you for days and you haven't answered me. You scared me to death."
As soon as Long Qilan came out, she burst into tears.
She was about to complain when she saw Yue Qingling's dying appearance and was instantly terrified.
She quickly stopped crying and asked anxiously, "Qingling, you..."
Yue Qingling weakly raised her hand and said, "Your Highness, please do me a favor and dig a channel to bring water to my body. I need to use the water to heal my wounds."
"Fine, you just wait!"
Long Qilan quickly took out her spear and dug a channel next to him, diverting water from the upstream source.
Yue Qingling quietly cultivated the Peach Blossom Enchanting Heart Sutra on the water's surface.
Three peach trees slowly grew, and clusters of spiritual energy, like fireflies, rushed into Yue Qingling's body.
He let out a comfortable sigh.
Thankfully, he survived.
An hour later, his injuries were almost completely healed.
He then sat cross-legged and continued his cultivation.
By this time, he was already able to speak.
Seeing that he was unharmed, Long Qilan felt relieved.
She sat obediently beside him, hesitant to speak.
Yue Qingling didn't rush to talk to her; instead, he took out the Water Dragon Pearl.
Then you can see that there is a crack on the bead.
The spirit that usually talked a lot about dragons and chariots was now silent.
Yue Qingling held up the bead and let the sunlight shine on it; the transparent bead was empty.
He sadly put the water dragon pearl away, feeling quite down.
"Qingling, are you alright?"
Long Qilan asked cautiously.
Yue Qingling sighed and said softly, "It's terrible, and... I don't know what to do."
"Let's go back. The Northern Continent shouldn't be able to hold them off."
Long Qilan quickly tried to persuade him.
Yue Qingling smiled bitterly: "If even Elder Di couldn't stop it, how could Dongzhou possibly stop it?"
“Even Dongzhou can’t stop it,” Long Qilan murmured.
"Then that settles it?"
"But at least we can die together!" Long Qilan said in despair.
Yue Qingling stared blankly at her. The 1.8-meter-tall girl with pigtails in front of her now had tears in her eyes and looked utterly desperate.
He suppressed his bad mood and, without saying a word, picked up Long Qilan and placed her on his lap.
He coaxed the 100-year-old Long Qilan as if she were a child.
"Lanlan, we won't die, right?"
Yue Qingling knew that Long Qilan was not good at handling pressure.
She was fearless before facing danger, but as soon as she encountered danger, she immediately lost confidence.
She's not even as good as Huang Lixing before.
Huang Lixing at least knew she couldn't handle the pressure, so she didn't bother to face the danger at all.
Long Qilan needs comfort.
While comforting her, Yue Qingling thought to herself that if it were Lin Qingyu, they would have already taken action.
Under Yue Qingling's gentle comforting words, Long Qilan gradually regained her composure.
She got off Yue Qingling's lap somewhat embarrassedly and said awkwardly, "Did I hold you back again?"
"How could that be? Let's discuss this properly."
Yue Qingling said calmly.
He glanced at the broken water dragon pearl again, feeling a pang of sadness.
So he told Long Qilan in detail what had happened.
Long Qilan listened very attentively.
The two then began to review the events of that day.
First was Qin Yingzhong.
In full view of everyone, amidst a sea of experts, he could have his head bitten off on the spot by an intruder.
This is simply unbelievable.
How did the intruders appear in the palace square, and how did they silently head straight for Qin Yingzhong?
Neither he nor Long Qilan could understand it.
Long Qilan said seriously, "Perhaps the intruders have learned to conceal their presence, and at the same time, they have also learned the art of burrowing underground."
Long Qilan was nearly killed when a cultivator who could burrow underground pierced her thigh in the Shadow Realm.
She was very familiar with this method of sneak attack.
Yue Qingling nodded and said, "It's very possible. The fact that so many intruders appeared at the same time without being discovered can only mean that these monsters have become smarter."
After analyzing the situation, they could only deduce that the intruders had mobilized as a whole because there were too many cultivators gathered at the scene.
The sharks gathered together, discussing how to hunt, but because there were so many fish, they attracted a pod of killer whales.
Yue Qingling sighed deeply, truly at a loss for what to do.
The last words left by the Purple-Green Empress were not a prophecy at all, but rather stated a fact that no one had noticed!
The North Continent is like a smooth-skinned apple, but its interior has long been filled with invaders.
The worst places breed the strongest enemies.
Intruder, you've really got some nerve!
"Actually, the cultivators should still be able to fight, as long as they follow Elder Di."
But that madwoman insisted on sending someone to save the emperor, who was doomed to die.
Hehe, sigh.
I never expected her to attack me.
Yue Qingling gave a wry smile.
He had considered every possible crisis, including being surrounded by invaders.
He never expected that he would be severely injured and almost die by a human cultivator.
They're still at the scene defending against invaders!
A cultivator at the Ascension Realm unleashed a full-force attack, which he could not withstand at all. The Water Dragon Pearl arrived just in time and sacrificed itself to save Yue Qingling's life.
"What day is it?"
Yue Qingling asked softly.
"Hmm... the third day."
Long Qilan still remembers the date.
Yue Qingling had fully recovered. He slowly got up and looked eastward.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder how Fengming County is doing."
He still felt that with Di Zhengchen around, the intruders couldn't cause much trouble.
Long Qilan quickly grabbed his arm and said worriedly, "Qingling, why don't we take a detour? What if... what if..."
She couldn't imagine that if Fengming County were gone, then the Northern Continent would be completely finished.
Yue Qingling actually wanted to include Long Qilan in the painting of beautiful women.
However, there was no danger outside, so he didn't do that.
He simply picked up Long Qilan and said softly, "We have to see her, don't we?"
