Take a step forward.

The dense forest fell behind Zhou Qing, and the vast world appeared before Zhou Qing again.

Looking around, it was flat, with no tall ancient trees and no wild beasts everywhere.

I'm out!

"Sir, I told you I'm not a bad person. You see, we didn't encounter any danger when we came out."

An Lang proudly sent him a message from the ghost residence, saying that after returning to the civilized land, it would not be appropriate for her to show up, and it would be better for her to hide.

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes. "Haven't we been chased by wild beasts many times?"

"You can't blame me for that. When we're operating in Black Mountain, we're bound to be chased by wild beasts..."

An Lang muttered to herself, but Zhou Qing ignored her and strode towards Heiyun Town.

This is the seventh day.

After entering Heiyun Town, many people noticed Zhou Qing, and the news of his return from Black Mountain was immediately known.

Zhou Qing didn't care and went straight to the peach forest.

Zuo Tianzheng's matter still needs to be discussed carefully with Lu Qingmo.

Because he knew in advance that he would go out today, Lu Qingmo did not go to the Ghost and God Department, but waited in the peach forest.

When Zhou Qing reached the depths, he saw her back, admiring the flowers in a trance.

"Aunt Mo, I'm back!"

Lu Qingmo turned around with a calm expression and looked at him carefully. When Zhou Qing approached, he put a hand on his shoulder and examined him.

"Don't worry Aunt Mo, everything is fine and there is no injury!"

After a long time, Lu Qingmo withdrew his hand and nodded slightly.

"I'm afraid you burned your lifespan to kill Zuo Tianzheng."

You are really good at judging people.

An Lang floated out, wisely said nothing, and found a corner to practice by himself.

As for what Lu Qingmo said, she couldn't hear it. It seemed like there was something wrong with her ears.

Zhou Qing said righteously, "I don't need to burn my lifespan to deal with Zuo Tianzheng."

"Besides, I promised Aunt Mo that I would only look at those longevity techniques and not use them recklessly."

I didn't use it indiscriminately, I used it according to a plan.

"It's hard to explain it in the voice transmission snail. Please tell me the details of killing Zuo Tianzheng. Don't leave anything out."

"Okay." Zhou Qing nodded, and recalled carefully:

"I……"

Of course, I can't tell the truth about how I killed Zuo Tianzheng.

Don’t talk nonsense about fifty years of lifespan or something like that. I don’t believe it.

If you don't believe me, come and check to see if my lifespan is shortened or my vitality is damaged.

After he finished speaking, Lu Qingmo was silent for a while, and then sighed softly.

"His target was actually the Butian vine, and you ran into it. It was really destined."

"It was him, Zuo Tianzheng, who sent people to kill you and Ruoyue..."

"He deserves to die!"

Lu Qingmo's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he did not blame Zhou Qing for daring to kill the imperial envoy. Instead, he felt that killing him was a relief and that it was right.

Some people, having done certain things, deserve to die.

Of course, from their point of view, Zuo Tianzheng should be killed, but this matter must not be leaked.

Even if Zuo Tianzheng had sent someone to commit the crime first, Zhou Qing could be considered to be seeking revenge, but if he felt that this was in the right, he could openly publicize the matter...

That's really courting death.

Power won’t reason with you, and neither will strength.

"This matter needs to be kept to oneself." Lu Qingmo said seriously:

"You have never seen Zuo Tianzheng or any other human being in Black Mountain. Zuo Tianzheng's death has nothing to do with you."

"Yujing must have known about this, but it has nothing to do with you. You didn't do anything."

Someone of Zuo Tianzheng's status must have left behind something like a soul lamp that can confirm his life or death.

If he dies here, Yujing will immediately notice it.

Zhou Qing nodded and smiled slightly.

"This matter really has nothing to do with me. After all, Zuo Tianzheng and I have no grudges against each other, right?"

"Although I was killed before, I suspect it was done by the evil cultivators of the Tianmu Sect."

"Most importantly..."

Zhou Qing's smile deepened.

"Aunt Mo, I'm only at the minor stage of the Internal Organs Realm, but Master Zuo is a warrior who can fight at the Marrow Cleansing Realm. How could I possibly harm Master Zuo?"

"Don't even mention my martial arts skills. Even if my true soul skills were exposed, it would be impossible for me to kill them."

The minor success of the internal organs realm, the ultimate in bone refining?

Isn't this pure slander? Killing a team with Zuo Tianzheng's configuration in the middle of the Japanese tour? And without any damage.

Isn't this pure slander? Even if you ask the top Taoist masters to come, they can't do it! If anyone says that Zhou Qing did all this, Zhou Qing will question him.

How could I have such a talent in your hearts?

Although I have a little bit of talent, this little bit of talent has obviously not yet been transformed into strength.

There are some things that cannot be said casually.

I, Zhou Qing, am just a junior who has not grown up yet.

Lu Qingmo nodded, "What you said makes sense."

"If you hadn't told me in person, I wouldn't have believed that you could do such a thing."

Who would believe that such a thing could be accomplished by someone who had practiced for less than half a year?

No one believed it, and Zuo Tianzheng still couldn't believe it until his death.

Lu Qingmo now appears to be very calm and certainly doesn't look surprised.

Because she was already shocked.

God knows how long she remained silent after Zhou Qing told her about the snail for the first time. Her heart was in turmoil.

I stayed awake all night and couldn't fall asleep. The shock was too great.

But now I have calmed down, at least I can appear calm on the surface.

Otherwise, if Zhou Qing saw it, he would think she had no vision.

"I have a concern." Zhou Qing said, "I'm afraid Zuo Tianzheng spread some news before he died."

"You don't have to worry about that." Lu Qingmo smiled slightly.

"Black Mountain is isolated from the outside world. It is difficult to transmit information, and most methods will be ineffective. Your snail is a special case. Even I don't understand what it is. It is so magical."

"Besides, Zuo Tianzheng is only a bone-refining warrior, not a cultivator. He has no way of using that extremely high-level and convenient means of communication."

"This place is so far away from Yujing. If they want to contact Yujing, those communication methods must be activated only by the accompanying saintly monks."

"And Zuo Tianzheng's guards probably don't know about his death yet, and are still waiting for him to return after searching for the Bu Tian vine."

There would be a delay of about one day for Lu Qingmo, a disciple of Xuandu Temple, to communicate with his fellow apprentice brother far away in Yujing. Zuo Tianzheng and the others would definitely not be able to communicate faster than this.

"That's good."

In this case, the secrecy of the killing of the imperial envoy has basically been maintained to the best of its ability.

"Give me what you got from Zuo Tianzheng."

"good."

Zhou Qing handed it over directly.

Lu Qingmo naturally didn't want to, but he checked Zhou Qing again and finally confirmed that there was indeed no problem.

"With Zuo Tianzheng's death, Yujing will definitely have some reaction." Lu Qingmo continued:

"All parties have entered Black Cloud Town one after another, and the mountain god has also made some moves. Yujing will definitely send more people over. Zuo Tianzheng's death will not be left uninvestigated."

Zhou Qing asked: "Will there be a large-scale soul search?"

Lu Qingmo thought for a moment and shook his head, "The people from Suzhen Palace have also entered Black Mountain. It is impossible to investigate the case in this way."

"With so many forces, no one can afford to offend."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said with certainty:

"Absolutely not."

Although Zuo Tianzheng and his men were slow after entering the mountain, the bone-refining warriors from other forces were actually even slower.

Zhou Qing is the fastest because he has a clear position, strong strength and many methods.

The speed of Zuo Tianzheng and the other two is second only to Zhou Qing. After all, they will not be distracted by other things and are focused on getting the Bu Tian Vine. Their strength is also not weak.

The bone-refining warriors from other forces who entered the mountains did not have the strength like Zuo Tianzheng, so it was normal that they were a little slower.

They would not rashly rush into the territory of the wild beasts in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

"Then it's fine. There is no evidence, and it involves many people. People from Yujing don't dare to act rashly."

"I just don't know who Yujing will send to investigate this matter."

"No matter who comes to investigate, the current situation in Black Cloud Town has already changed. It is not like when Zuo Tianzheng first came. He can cover the sky with one hand."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "That's true."

As for the mountain god, Zhou Qing was not worried.

In the past, such things in Black Mountain could not be hidden from the mountain god, but now the situation has changed.

“Don’t tell anyone else about Zuo Tianzheng’s death once you leave this place.” Lu Qingmo warned, “Forget about this matter, forget about Zuo Tianzheng, and assume that you knew nothing about it.”

"Well... you can briefly talk to Bai Tian so that he can be mentally prepared, and forget about the others, including Ruo Yue."

"It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that the fewer people who know about this, the better. Besides, they are still young and inexperienced."

"I know."

Zhou Qing returned the three treasures that Lu Qingmo had lent him, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's not talk about this disappointing thing. Aunt Mo, I went to all the seven places given by the mountain god. Guess what the result was?"

He didn't explain some things just now.

To be precise, he only talked about what happened after he met Zuo Tianzheng. He did not mention what happened before that. It was more important to deal with the matter of killing Zuo first.

"I guess the result should be good."

"Aunt Mo, you are so smart, look."

As he spoke, Zhou Qing took out a jade box from his space ring and slowly opened it.

Lu Qingmo's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously held his breath. Then he looked at Zhou Qing in a daze.

"What do you want me to see? An empty box?"

"Hahaha."

Zhou Qing smiled brightly, but the jade box in his hand was empty.

"I made a mistake. Try again."

He immediately changed the jade box, and this time there was finally something inside. Lu Qingmo was extremely familiar with the characteristics of this thing, and he didn't know how many times he had thought about it.

It is the Bu Tian vine.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I found the Heaven-Making Vine in the territory of a demon tribe."

Looking at the long vine in the box, Lu Qingmo remained silent for a long time, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"Don't be in a daze, Aunt Mo."

Zhou Qing smiled and handed over the Butian Vine.

"You must keep the Butian vine safe. If you lose it, I don't know where to find it again."

"With it, there will be hope for the Heavenly Saint Resurrection Liquid."

"Thanks a lot."

Lu Qingmo spoke softly, his expression gentle.

"You definitely took a lot of risks for it."

Lu Qingmo put the Butian Vine away without even looking at it. Instead, he looked at Zhou Qing carefully and suddenly laughed.

"The young boy who was so respectful and cautious in front of me back then has now become a master who can stand on his own and has done things that I cannot do."

"Now that I think about it, I'm glad Ruoyue brought you to see me."

She also couldn't have imagined that the young man who decided to teach Bai Ruoyue out of respect and couldn't resist her begging would help her so much.

Fortunately, fortunately, Bai Ruoyue insisted on asking her to teach Zhou Qing.

Ruoyue is so thoughtful, and her love for her is worthy of her.

"We should indeed thank Senior Sister." Zhou Qing also agreed.

"Without the senior sister, we wouldn't be here today."

In the past, there were only a handful of people in the entire Black Cloud Town who were qualified to come here to see Lu Qingmo, and he who had just embarked on the path of cultivation was definitely not one of them.

"Tell me about your trip into the mountains this time. Tell me slowly."

She wanted to hear the story of these seven days. After not seeing him for a few days, she wanted to know more clearly, fearing that he had suffered any injustice.

"We have to mention An Lang's bad mouth..."

"Sir, I can hear you!"

An Lang's angry voice sounded, "Defaming someone behind their back is not what a gentleman does!"

"I am not a gentleman."

Zhou Qing said: "I am a saint."

"Also, why were you eavesdropping?"

"Hey, I'll just go."

Lu Qingmo shook her head and smiled, waiting for Zhou Qing to share her experiences with her.

"Actually, there isn't much danger. After all, Aunt Mo, you know that I have always been called the Great Zhuge."

"Big Zhuge?"

"... a very clever description."

"After entering the mountain..."

By the time Zhou Qing finished explaining everything, quite a while had passed. It really took him a lot of time to finish talking.

"I didn't expect that the Soul Merging Technique you obtained earlier would have such a cause and effect at this time."

Lu Qingmo was also somewhat amazed, "Every sip and every bite, it is truly destined by heaven."

“It is indeed a good choice to take advantage of others’ strengths.”

"Aunt Mo, when I first learned the Soul Merging Technique, from your tone it seemed like you knew about the Light Fox Clan?"

Lu Qingmo nodded, "There are some records in Xuandu Temple about the various monsters that exist in Black Mountain."

"The Light Fox clan is gentle, intelligent, quick-witted, educated, and not hostile."

"Indeed."

"You attacked the Moon Chasing Wolf Clan forcefully but did not kill them all. This was the right choice. Since the Mountain God allowed those disrespectful tribes to exist, there must be a reason. The head of the Yun family also said something like this."

"If you take action to destroy the Moon Chasing Wolves, it will inevitably be inappropriate. Anyway, this tribe is weak and lives in the Black Mountain. They are also restrained by the Light Fox. They can't affect you. There is no need to offend the Mountain God because of them."

“That’s what I think.”

A demon tribe consisting of only two great holy demons posed no threat to Zhou Qing, so it would not matter if he offended them.

After explaining everything, Zhou Qing suddenly leaned over and moved closer to Lu Qingmo.

"Aunt Mo, do you know that I got more than just the Bu Tian vine when I went into the mountains this time?"

"Are you talking about treasures like the Sky Snake Vine, the Imperial Stone, and the Nameless Flower?"

"Those are indeed rare treasures, worth a lot of money, and the harvest is indeed quite good."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said in an unfathomable voice, "No, no, no."

"Those things are good, but compared to my other gains, they are nothing."

Lu Qingmo became interested and asked:

"What is it?"

Zhou Qing looked at her, and Lu Qingmo's eyes moved slightly, but immediately fixed on him again, just because he said two words.

“Originium.”
