A blur before my eyes.

When Zhou Qing was able to see clearly again, he had arrived at another place.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the grass is lush, and there is no sign of damage from fighting.

He sensed his surroundings and although he was sure that he was still on the grassland, there were no familiar sights there and he had no idea how far away he was from the battlefield.

"Where is this?"

Zhou Qing was a little confused and secretly frightened, not knowing how he got here.

The power that just enveloped him and moved him here was too great and profound.

"I don't know."

Mingkong shook his head. "But it's still within the grassland, but it's quite far from where we were just now."

"A very terrifying master has come from the Barbarian Tribe. If we are discovered by him, we will be in trouble today."

Zhou Qing was surprised. "Earth Realm master, you can also sense it in advance?"

Mingkong replied: "It's not the Earth Realm, it's the Heaven Realm."

"What?!"

Zhou Qing was shocked. "A master of the Heaven Realm? How could that be?"

"How could a master of the Heaven Realm personally do what the two of us did?"

It's not just a few venerables who died, it's not a few Huangquan Chedi realms who died, why did it come to this?

This is equivalent to the death of several venerables in Hanzhou during the war, and the high-ranking officers of the border army and the all-powerful warriors were asked to investigate the matter personally. It is just as outrageous.

Mingkong smiled slightly, "Because the barbarians lost a Chedi warrior, they are also here to capture our Chedi realm."

"That's why we provoked the Azure Sky Realm. But don't worry, he won't chase us because he can't find any trace of us."

Zhou Qing was silent, with something clear in his mind.

The warrior who received the message to capture them died without even showing his face...

Combined with the fact that they suddenly left the scene and even the Biluo monk was unable to catch up with them, he roughly understood what had happened.

No wonder a person like Mingkong dared to enter the grassland as a human being without any disguise.

No wonder she was fearless and daring when she cooperated with herself and planned to hunt the barbarians everywhere. As long as the barbarians were within her strength to deal with, she would dare to take action, without worrying that there would be irresistible barbarian masters coming from behind.

It turned out that there was such a guarantee behind the scenes. It was obvious that during Mingkong's trip to the grassland, there was a strong man protecting her in secret.

He is also the kind of super strong man who can kill a warrior with ease and make it impossible for other warriors in the Biluo Realm to find any trace.

Now that I think about it, it's probably not that Mingkong can sense in advance whether there are barbarian masters coming to chase them, but that the master who is secretly protecting her is passing on relevant information to her.

It would definitely be impossible for those barbarian practitioners to hide from such a master and get close to Mingkong.

Zhou Qing suddenly felt a little insecure.

Mingkong didn't know what Zhou Qing was thinking, so she continued:

"We can't stay in the grassland anymore. With such a huge loss, if we show up again, we will be subjected to the wrath of the barbarians and will surely die."

Zhou Qing came back to his senses and nodded in agreement.

With so many venerables dead, a thoroughbred warrior also lost, and there were signs of a super master taking action, the barbarians' alert will probably rise to an unprecedented level.

Even if Zhou Qing could change into another race, he could not go on and had to consider leaving.

The barbarians were absolutely furious at this moment. If someone else died like the previous one, the real masters of the barbarians would definitely come at the first moment.

At that time, no matter which race of cultivator you are from, no matter whether you are a Phoenix or a human, we will not be polite and will capture you directly.

If you cause trouble in the grassland again, you will be seeking death.

Fortunately, including the big bet just now, he had made a lot of money in the past ten days. If he leaves now, he will have made a lot of money.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Qing said to Mingkong:

"Thank you for your care over the past ten days, Your Excellency."

Mingkong helped him a lot. Even if it hadn't happened just now, the two sides had cooperated very happily in the past ten days.

Seeing the increase of heaven's favor, Zhou Qing felt satisfied and grateful to this respected person from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"No need to thank me. By cooperating with you, I have achieved my purpose of entering the grassland."

Mingkong said: "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have met those barbarian masters these days."

“…”

Although I know you came here to fight with the barbarians, and the more barbarian masters you meet, the better, but when you say this, it still makes me seem like a troublemaker...

"How about it? Now that we can no longer stay on the grassland, do you want to go to Da Zhou with me?"

Mingkong asked: "Not only do you have noble blood, but you are also very talented. If you go to the Mountain and Sea Region, you will definitely be valued and fully trained by the Phoenix Clan."

She never forgot her purpose.

The purpose of joining forces with Zhou Qing was indeed to find more barbarians to practice fighting with, but it was also to see if there would be an opportunity to kidnap the phoenix later.

Zhou Qing was silent. He was considering whether he would be forced by Ming Kong to go to Dong Zhou after he refused.

There is only one Mingkong, he is not afraid and is full of confidence.

But now we know that Mingkong has a super expert as his bodyguard...

Zhou Qing was already thinking that if Mingkong used force, his identity as Xuan Du Zhenchuan would probably be exposed.

There is no way I can become a phoenix.

"I know this is your kindness to me, but please forgive me, I really cannot leave Da Qi and go to the Shanhai Region."

Mingkong stared at Zhou Qing and said, "You should have guessed how we got away just now. You should also know that some things are not up to you to decide."

"I know, but I think that as a venerable, you won't attack a mere saint-level person like me."

"Do you know my identity now?"

“Just a little guess.”

Zhou Qing guessed Mingkong's identity from the peerless magical skill she used.

After coming to Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing's understanding of this world increased a lot. He more or less knew something about the well-known inheritances of some well-known forces.

For example, the Emperor's Mountain and River Sword, this peerless magical skill, is exactly...

The peerless inheritance of the Eastern Zhou royal family! In this way, Ming Kong's origins are about to be revealed.

In addition, with the protection of such a super master, this person's status in the Eastern Zhou royal family is probably the highest.

Mingkong?

No, if Mingkong is the real name.

Then this person should be called Wu Mingkong! The royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was surnamed Wu, and it was Wu Zhou! In fact, after knowing Mingkong's origin, Zhou Qing was only worried that she would force him to go to Shanhai District, and was not worried that she would harm him.

This is the case without revealing his identity.

If the identity of the Ninth True Disciple of Xuandu is exposed, even kidnapping would not be possible.

The Zhou royal family kidnapped the ninth true disciple of Xuandu...

The powerful man in the dark would not agree, and when he knew that Zhou Qing was not a phoenix, there was no point in tying him up.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhou Qing still didn't want Mingkong to know that he was a transformed human, especially since he had become so lifelike.

Mingkong stared at Zhou Qing. At this moment, she was full of majesty and nobility, as if she was a noble lady high above everyone else.

Zhou Qing looked at her calmly, without any sign of timidity.

"I have failed your kindness, Your Excellency. I hope you will forgive me."

Mingkong helped him a lot, and her intention to take him to the Shanhai Region was also a good intention. He did not dislike her, but was very grateful to her instead.

After staring at each other for a long time, Mingkong saw that Zhou Qing was not intimidated by his aura at all, and his admiration for Zhou Qing increased.

"You are right. I really cannot force you. I don't even want to resort to such means."

Mingkong said: "Since you don't want to, then you can leave. If you change your mind in the future, you can come to Da Zhou to find me."

"You have already guessed my identity. I think it won't be difficult for you to find me."

"I will always remember your help today, Venerable."

Zhou Qing thanked Mingkong again for her help over the past ten days, then said goodbye and left.

At this point, there was no room for the two to continue the conversation.

Although the two had gotten to know each other better and had a certain familiarity during the ten days, because both sides concealed their identities from the beginning, such understanding was ultimately superficial.

Moreover, in fact, the two of them did not communicate much during these ten days. Except for the battle, they were alone at other times and only communicated occasionally.

In addition to the concealment of their identities, the difference in their cultivation also prevented the two from communicating normally.

This man is a venerable man, and a member of the royal family. He is born noble, so he will definitely not be too enthusiastic towards a little phoenix he met by chance.

Because the other party's identity was unknown and his cultivation was very high, Zhou Qing couldn't take the initiative to make close friends with him with his own cultivation level, otherwise it would seem like he was flattering someone.

In the world of practitioners, one must be clear about one's own position. The gap in cultivation strength will ultimately be a barrier, unless the relationship is very close, but Mingkong is obviously not that.

After ten days, we could be considered to have known each other. When Zhou Qing's cultivation level reached a higher level, we could barely call each other friends.

So although he was grateful to Mingkong in his heart, since she had ordered him to leave, Zhou Qing left freely.

If we meet again in the future, I will express my gratitude to you. By then, I believe we will be able to interact with each other on an equal footing.

Watching Zhou Qing fly away until he disappeared, Mingkong said:

"General Gao."

A tall man appeared beside her.

This man had a pale face and no beard. He looked like an old man. He was wearing official uniform and had a kind expression on his face, which gave people a natural good impression.

"Princess."

General Gao smiled and said, "I thought you would let me tie this guy back."

The old man was very gentle and spoke in an interesting way, without the airs of a powerful person.

Princess!

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Mingkong's identity was as noble as Zhou Qing had expected.

Of course, there were many princesses in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, but Mingkong's talent and strength, as well as the personal protection of General Gao, all showed that she was no ordinary princess.

Mingkong smiled and said, "I dare not let you, General Gao, do such a thing, or I will be scolded by my mother when I go back."

"Princess, even if you let me help, I probably won't be able to take him away."

General Gao glanced in the direction Zhou Qing left.

"Although this little guy has guessed my presence, he is very calm and confident. I guess he has some trump card that he thinks can protect himself."

"I see that, too."

Mingkong nodded, "He should have a good background, a deep foundation, and many treasures. I didn't expect that Xiqi still has a force that can cultivate such a phoenix."

Mingkong did not force Zhou Qing to kidnap her, firstly because she did not have dementia. She just wanted to take Zhou Qing to the Shanhai area, not to make an enemy with Zhou Qing.

Secondly, because of the ten days of getting along, she realized that Zhou Qing’s background was not simple. Even if she wanted to take Zhou Qing away by force, there would definitely be changes.

"But speaking of it, the bloodline of this little phoenix is ​​indeed a bit strange."

There was a hint of thought in General Gao's eyes. His realm was extremely high, so he naturally discovered the strength of Zhou Qing's bloodline.

He was a little surprised when he saw a phoenix of this bloodline ten days ago.

However, due to the special relationship between the Wu family and the Phoenix clan, General Gao had no ill will towards Zhou Qing, the Phoenix, and did not stop Ming Kong from inviting Zhou Qing or even joining forces with him.

Mingkong said: "He gave me some feeling of Sister Xi, but he is different from Sister Xi."

"Somewhat similar to that one?"

General Gao was a little surprised when he heard this, "No wonder Princess you invited him twice and stayed with him for ten days."

He was well aware of the princess's arrogance. If someone refused her invitation once, she would never make a second invitation.

Zhou Qing is already a special case.

And there are not many people who are qualified to be recruited by Mingkong.

Well...if they knew Zhou Qing’s true identity, they wouldn’t think so.

The ninth true teaching of Xuan Du is something that this princess should also pay attention to.

But Zhou Qing was wearing a vest after all.

I can only say that Zhou Qing's brilliance cannot be covered even by a vest! Excellent people are still excellent even if they are no longer human.

"It's not all because of him. I've had a very fulfilling ten days. I've fulfilled my little wish."

Mingkong has always wanted to have a real tempering experience, but due to his noble birth, he has never been able to realize it.

Although she was also operating under the protection of General Gao this time on the grassland, after joining forces with Zhou Qing, she did encounter more opponents, which was a little more exciting compared to her previous experiences.

"The place I brought you to is near a section of Tianmen Pass in Qi territory, and it's quite far from the battlefield. He should be able to return safely, but it's a pity that he couldn't bring back a phoenix of such bloodline."

"No." Mingkong shook his head.

"I have a feeling that I will meet him again in the future. A bloodline like his is destined to go to the Mountain and Sea Region. That is the most suitable place for Phoenix."

"But by then, he should have grown up."

"Princess, you can talk to the Phoenix Clan about this. Perhaps they will be interested in going to Xiqi to look for him."

"That's fine."

Mingkong asked again: "By the way, who was chasing us just now?"

"First, there was a warrior in the Chedi realm. If I remember correctly, it should be Manwu from the Mogu tribe. I trapped him first, and then killed him when the princess and you guys were done. Then I alarmed the Mogu priest."

"The Mogu priest seems to be a master of the Azure Realm?"

General Gao smiled and said, "An old fellow who is not worth mentioning. He has cultivated for a lifetime but has made no progress."

"When you grow up, Princess, he won't be a big deal."

"Mogu Tribe... Let's go, General Gao. It's been almost a month since we left. Let's go back to the capital."

General Gao and Mingkong disappeared on the spot, leaving no trace at all.

Shendu, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

For both Zhou Qing and Mingkong, the encounter on the grassland and these ten days were just a small episode in their lives.

I still worry about it now, but after a while I won’t think about it anymore.

On the other side, Zhou Qingfei went out for a long distance and made sure that there was no one around, so he immediately transformed into a barbarian.

With the death of all the warriors and so many venerable ones, he dared not use the identity of Phoenix on the grassland anymore.

Even for the sake of safety, other races cannot transform. It would be disastrous if the angry barbarian practitioners took their anger out on them and attacked them directly.

If we just become barbarians, we won’t have to worry about this.

With his identity, he is at least an upper-level barbarian. No matter how angry those barbarians who are searching for him and Mingkong are, they will not attack him for no reason.

"Subu Attila" flew over the grassland with a swagger, without any panic.

Humph, the barbarians are the masters of the grassland, so I, Attila, am also the master of the grassland! Zhou Qing summoned the gold finger panel and immediately locked his eyes on the line of information on it.

[Heavenly Favor: One Hundred and Twelve]

One hundred and twelve points of Heavenly Favor, this is what he gained in the past ten days after joining forces with Mingkong! He had previously acted alone for seven days and gained sixty-one points of Heavenly Favor. Now, in ten days, the gains were almost double that of the seven days.

Therefore, Zhou Qing always felt that Mingkong had been of great help to him, and it was not nonsense.

Looking at these favored ones, Zhou Qing showed the most sincere smile.

It feels great.

Taking his eyes away from his precious Tianjuan, Zhou Qing thought to himself.

"There is still about a week left before the month ends..."

"Given the current situation on the grassland, it is not suitable for me to continue to act as before. It is time to leave."

The barbarians were completely enraged, and it would be extremely unwise and too risky to stay any longer.

Moreover, he and Mingkong had teamed up to kill ruthlessly in the past ten days. The barbarians who now dared to come out to hunt them must be very strong.

Now that he and Mingkong are separated, and without the protection of the top masters in the dark, it would be very difficult for him to hunt down those masters on his own.

After all, the Six Spirit Puppets are not omnipotent and have their limits.

It is no longer possible to fish in troubled waters like he did in the previous few days. The barbarian masters behind him are not something Zhou Qing can deal with.

The harvest from this trip into the grassland is already huge enough. Although it is good to be blessed by heaven, one must also live to spend it.

Originally, Zhou Qing was planning to transform into a barbarian to carry out the second part of his hunting plan, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and now the second part of the plan is obviously impossible to implement.

The enraged barbarians and the alarmed Heaven Realm masters would surely not feel burdened to kill a few of their compatriots.

So, when Zhou Qing saw Tianmen Pass from afar, he flew straight over there, and when he got close, he changed back into his true form in a place where no one could see him.

"I didn't expect that the place where the master who protected Mingkong brought us was so close to Tianmen Pass..."

Zhou Qing rushed towards Tianmen Pass and was immediately noticed. The aura of masters locked onto him.

"who?!"

"Stop, don't move!"

"I am a disciple of Xuandu Temple, and I have returned from the grassland!"

Some masters from Da Qi approached Zhou Qing and verified his identity through a very cumbersome procedure. They were stunned for a moment, and then stood in awe.

Only then was Zhou Qing allowed to enter Tianmen Pass.

This is not Beiyuan County, and it has not been attacked by barbarians for the time being, but it has been affected by the war and is heavily guarded.

Zhou Qing was somewhat amazed, he was indeed a super master, he could actually bring him so far.

However, this also brought Zhou Qing to face a new problem.

He had to rush back to the battlefield in Beiyuan County from here first.
