Chapter 31 Immortal Lord 031%
“…”
Qu Yaoyao was teleported out of Wanmen Xianzong by Chong'an.
She landed in a village somewhere in the netherworld. Because the formation was unstable, she fell from mid-air and landed heavily on the ground. It took her a while to recover.
"Chong'an."
Qu Yaoyao got up from the ground and asked as she touched the pendant, "Where is this?"
She was transported by Chong'an completely unprepared. He hadn't spoken a word, nor had he discussed her where she wanted to go. Looking down, a chorus of questions choked her throat. Qu Yaoyao noticed the pendant hadn't lit up as before, and after a moment's pause, she called out, "Chong'an?"
"Can you hear me?"
No one answered.
The pendant's flashing then dimming was just a brief moment of teleportation. Qu Yaoyao felt that Chong'an had only briefly appeared after sensing danger, then disappeared again due to some pressure...
It seems she can only rely on herself.
Qu Yaoyao adjusted the tassels on her phoenix crown and looked around carefully.
This was a forest, and she landed at its edge. Looking inward, she saw the lush greenery stretching to the horizon, with rustling sounds coming from the depths. Looking outward, she could vaguely make out a village not far away, with smoke rising from the air, as if someone was cooking.
Without even thinking, Qu Yaoyao headed out of the forest. Although the forest was quiet and easy to hide in, she wanted to know where she was now.
Wow——
A gust of damp wind blew in her face. When Qu Yaoyao came out of the forest, she could faintly hear the sound of water.
After walking for a while following the sound, what came into view was a vast ocean. The waves crashed onto the land. Qu Yaoyao stood there in a daze, gazing into the distance, and discovered that this was actually a small island.
Where exactly is this place? How could Chong'an have teleported her to such a place?
Qu Yaoyao estimated the distance. With her current cultivation level, she couldn't possibly leave the island without a magical weapon. Fortunately, however, several fishing boats were docked not far away, and people were coming and going, carrying goods to the village.
As Qu Yaoyao approached, many people noticed her. She was dressed so dazzlingly, with a wedding gown and a phoenix crown on her head, her entire body was glowing. Coupled with her extremely beautiful face, she appeared out of nowhere, and soon someone shouted, "It's the Sea Monster Queen!"
"The Siren Queen has appeared!"
Qu Yaoyao was startled when she saw the islanders on the other side kneeling down in unison, kowtowed to her and begged for mercy, "Mother Siren, please spare my life..."
"I'm not a siren." Qu Yaoyao waved her hands, "Don't kneel before me, get up quickly."
She was a little puzzled why they called her the Siren instead of the Sea God. She clearly looked like a good person, so how could she look like a monster?
She quickly ran over to help the man and made up an excuse for herself, "I was washed up on this island by accident. I'm not a sea monster. Don't be afraid."
Everyone helped the man up, and Qu Yaoyao asked an elderly grandmother, "Can you tell me where this is?"
She was asking the village chief of this island village, Heiza Ma, who was over a hundred years old. After listening to Qu Yaoyao's explanation several times, she stood up tremblingly and stared at Qu Yaoyao's face, her tone rising and falling with an accent, "Are you really not the Sea Monster Queen?"
"I'm not." Qu Yaoyao said earnestly, "I really came here by mistake and I'm anxious to leave. Can you help me?"
Heiza Ma looked into the eyes of the old man next to her, nodded, and said, "Why don't you go back to the village with me first, young lady?"
Facing the small island surrounded by the sea, Qu Yaoyao had no choice but to say, "Okay."
“…”
On the day of Qingxi Immortal Venerable's wedding, the news of the bride's disappearance quickly spread.
When Xie Qingxun learned of this, he was about to change into the wedding dress Di Shu had presented him. Before he could even touch the fabric, he turned his head to look at the palace door and asked coldly, "What did you say?"
The young disciple who came to report was trembling with fear, "Reply, report to Immortal Venerable Qingxi, the wedding procession was attacked by demons, and Madam Yao is missing..."
Now there was no need to change into wedding clothes. Xie Qingxun didn't care about the people from the main sect, and took Di Shu directly to the place where Qu Yaoyao had the accident, Moshan.
Moshan was located within the Wanmen Immortal Sect, sandwiched between the Xingyang Sect and the Wangxu, and closest to the Yaowang Sect. After arriving at Moshan, Xie Qingxun first tried using the tracking technique, but even with his eyes closed, he couldn't sense Qu Yaoyao's location.
"Master." Di Shu followed behind Xie Qingxun, raised his hand to grab the falling sound transmission talisman and said, "Disciple has received a reply from Tianci. He has found the fallen float, and there is no trace of Qu Yaoyao inside the float."
"Let's go take a look first." Xie Qingxun was thoughtful and clenched his hands in his sleeves slightly.
Gu Tianci has been searching in Moshan for a long time.
After he saw Qu Yaoyao disappear from the car, the rope between the float and the giant bird broke and fell into the Moshan Mountain. Gu Tianci had no choice but to jump down from the float and fall into the boundless Moshan Mountain forest.
"Master." The young man who usually showed off his noble demeanor was now wearing tattered clothes and covered in mud, staggering towards Xie Qingxun.
After seeing his master, he fell to his knees, his eyes red and his voice hoarse: "It is my fault that I am useless and failed to protect Qu Yaoyao's safety."
Xie Qingxun was in no mood to pursue his guilt at the moment, so he asked in a cold voice, "Where is Qu Yaoyao?"
Gu Tianci shook his head, his lips trembling for a long time before he uttered a few words: "She... disappeared."
Not missing, just disappeared.
Now recalling the scene that just happened, Gu Tianci still felt unbelievable. His body was hunched, his voice was intermittent and his words were unclear. Xie Qingxun lost his patience and kicked him hard on the shoulder.
"Gu Tianci." Xie Qingxun looked down at him condescendingly.
He was not a compassionate and tolerant teacher, nor did he show any sympathy for the blows his disciples had suffered. His eyes were filled with venom, and his tone was cold and stern. "I'll give you one more chance to speak properly."
Gu Tianci was kicked to his knees on the ground, and the pain made him sober up a lot.
Coming back to his senses, he suppressed his frustration and quickly organized his words to speak again: "My disciple was attacked by demons in Moshan. I wanted to take Qu Yaoyao away first, but when I opened the curtain, I saw a red light flashing around Qu Yaoyao. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared."
"Are you sure she disappeared instantly?"
Gu Tianci nodded, "Disciple is sure."
Xie Qingxun had some thoughts in his mind and walked towards the float. He lifted the curtain on the carriage and felt the faint residual spiritual power inside the carriage.
"It's a teleportation array." Xie Qingxun narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and set the tracking spell on these residual spiritual powers. This time he finally felt Qu Yaoyao's breath.
His expression lightened slightly, and Xie Qingxun tried to connect with others, injecting his voice into the spiritual power.
"Qu Yaoyao."
On a distant island, Qu Yaoyao was drinking the hot tea prepared by Heiza Ma, when she suddenly heard Xie Qingxun's voice in her ears.
The moment their consciousness connected, Qu Yaoyao heard Xie Qingxun's intermittent and unclear voice: "Where are you?"
Feeling the weakness of the tracking technique, Qu Yaoyao lowered her head while holding the hot tea, and did not respond. Just kidding, Chong'an had finally teleported her out, how could she possibly tell him where she was?
Perhaps because they were too far apart, Qu Yaoyao tentatively used her spiritual power to push and hit, easily breaking the connection between the two.
I learned from Heiza Ma that this island is the Heiza tribe and few outsiders enter.
Hei Zha Ma had promised to escort Qu Yaoyao off the island, but she said her tribe was very particular about going out to sea and that it would take some time to prepare. During this time, Qu Yaoyao accompanied Hei Zha Ma to visit the village and found that the village was almost entirely populated by elderly people, with very few young people.
After a lot of effort, I saw a young girl inside. She was lying in front of the window, staring at Qu Yaoyao. When Qu Yaoyao looked back at her, she grinned with a ferocious and malicious expression.
Qu Yaoyao felt uneasy. Before she could investigate, someone pulled the girl's hand from inside the window. The old man's withered face flashed before his eyes and he quickly closed the window.
...Why do I feel like something is weird?
Qu Yaoyao glanced at the closed window and door, then looked at Heiza Ma.
After hesitating for a moment, she pretended to be casual and asked, "Grandma, why don't I see any girls my age in the village?"
Hei Zha Ma turned her wrinkled face and looked at Qu Yaoyao with unclear eyes. She gestured and explained in Hei Zha language which Qu Yaoyao could not understand. Qu Yaoyao did not understand and still did not get an answer when she asked again.
It's getting weirder and weirder.
Qu Yaoyao became alert, her body tensed up and she began to observe her surroundings carefully, but she didn't find anything unusual.
There were many elderly people with disabilities in this village. Even if she was weak, she still had some self-defense skills. These people shouldn't pose a threat to her. As she was thinking this, someone came running over. He pointed excitedly at the beach and said incoherently, "Grandma, the boat is ready."
"We can go now."
“…”
The contact between Qu Yaoyao and Xie Qingxun was cut off.
Lifting his eyelashes, Xie Qingxun stared at the float with cold eyes, pursed his lips but said nothing.
Gu Tianci and Di Shu were still shocked by the teleportation array he mentioned. Seeing their master open his eyes, Gu Tianci hurriedly asked, "Did you find the person?"
"She's not in Moshan." Xie Qingxun said coldly.
"Not in Moshan?" Gu Tianci's eyes widened. "Then where did she go?"
Although Qu Yaoyao didn't say anything, Xie Qingxun still tracked the general direction and simply uttered a few words: "The lower realm, the Hei Zha tribe."
...How is this possible.
Gu Tianci was a little excited. "The teleportation array is a high-level spiritual technique in the world of cultivation. How did Qu Yaoyao manage to reach the lower realm? This is ridiculous."
Di Shu frowned. Although he also felt it was ridiculous, he still reminded Gu Tianci, "Watch your tone, Tianci. Are you questioning Master?"
"Disciple dare not."
Xie Qingxun glanced at them indifferently and didn't bother with them.
Now that he thought about it, Qu Yaoyao's sudden disappearance in the underground palace was also due to the teleportation array. It seemed that this little liar had many secrets that he had never discovered. Let's see how he would deal with her when he returned.
Di Shu was more thoughtful than Gu Tianci. When he heard the word "Hei Zha," he warned, "Master, as far as I know, the Hei Zha tribe is located within the Desolate Sea. The people there are different from ordinary people and believe in evil gods. I'm afraid it's not safe."
Although Gu Tianci didn't like Qu Yaoyao, he was responsible for the incident, so he quickly said, "Qu Yaoyao's disappearance is due to my poor supervision. I request that you go to Hei Zha and rescue her."
"Save?" Xie Qingxun raised his eyebrows slightly.
He laughed out loud and the corners of his lips curled up in a mocking smile, "She doesn't need you to save her."
Qu Yaoyao didn't disappear for no reason at all. She ran away on her own and hoped that they would not "rescue" her.
.
Qu Yaoyao boarded the boat prepared for her by the Heizha people.
Unlike the dilapidated fishing boats she had seen before, this boat was clean and small, with the hull wrapped in flowers and plants. The person responsible for sending her there was a strong middle-aged man.
"Girl, let's go quickly." Heiza Ma urged, her tone hinting at excitement.
Qu Yaoyao became suspicious. To make it easier to escape, she took off the heavy phoenix crown from her head and handed it to Heiza Ma, saying, "Thank you, Grandma, for sending me away. Consider this a thank you gift."
Heiza Ma hesitated as she held the phoenix crown. After glancing at the man on the boat, she accepted it and urged Qu Yaoyao to leave again.
The island wasn't close to land, and with Qu Yaoyao's spiritual power, she'd have to use a fishing boat to leave. However, she was filled with doubts, so after boarding the boat, she didn't sit down. Instead, she stood inside, gazing at the distant continent, her body tense as she calculated the distance.
She was calculating when she could jump off the boat and reach the other side safely.
The man rowing the boat didn't talk to her either. As the boat moved away, he began to hum a little tune in a very good mood. The tune was strange and out of place, as if he was talking to himself.
"Brother, why do I feel that the boat is getting farther and farther away from the other side?" At first, Qu Yaoyao could still vaguely see the other side, but after the boat sailed for a while, she felt that the other side was becoming increasingly blurry, and fog was rising in front of her.
But that shouldn't be the case, she was sure the boat was moving forward.
The man didn't answer her question, but just grinned at her and continued humming the strange tune.
Qu Yaoyao felt a growing sense of strangeness in her heart, and immediately cast a spell to control the man who was humming the song, "What on earth are you going to do?"
The boat was shaking, and Qu Yaoyao gradually became unstable. She held on to the boat, trying to use her spiritual power to drive the boat to change its course. When she squatted down, she suddenly saw a whirlpool forming on the sea surface, gradually swallowing towards the boat.
Wow——
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and something was moving in the vortex.
A massive dragon with shiny black scales slowly emerged from the water. It stared at Qu Yaoyao with blood-red eyes and said in a hoarse and broken voice, "Is this the bride you found for me?"
"I am very satisfied."
“…”
As soon as Xie Qingxun stepped onto the island, he suddenly raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose.
Di Shu quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, "Master, is there any problem?"
Xie Qingxun took the handkerchief, his voice uncontrollably cold, "This place has the aura that I hate the most."
Di Shu sniffed it tentatively, but didn't smell anything other than the fishy smell of the sea.
The two of them arrived on flying swords and landed directly in Hei Zha Village. Ignoring the panic of the surrounding tribesmen, Di Shu pulled out a scroll from his arms, casually pulled a tribesman over and asked, "Have you seen her?"
The person in the painting is Xiao Xuelian, who Xie Qingxun had once drawn on paper. Now, there is not much difference between the two people's appearance.
The Heiza man stared at the scroll with wide eyes, waving his hands and shaking his head in Heiza language. Di Shu let him go and tried to pull another tribesman, but still found nothing.
From their expressions, Xie Qingxun judged that they were lying.
Leng Qingqing stood there, his aura of a man without any evil aura, as if he were a banished immortal. His eyelashes drooped as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he turned his head to look somewhere and walked towards the thatched cottage inside.
squeak--
The door opened without any wind, very abruptly.
Inside the room, Heiza Ma was holding Qu Yaoyao's phoenix crown and was about to hide under the table. When she heard the door open, she shuddered and turned back, and saw a man in white standing quietly by the door.
"Where is she?" Xie Qingxun slowly glanced at the phoenix crown in Heiza Ma's hand.
The tracking technique was completely broken at this point, and Xie Qingxun could no longer sense Qu Yaoyao's breath.
Heiza Ma grunted and waved her hands, trying to play dumb like her tribesmen. Xie Qingxun laughed for no reason and teleported in front of her. He grabbed her neck and lifted her up. He said coldly, "I'll ask you one last time. Where is she?"
“…”
The Heiza tribe is on fire.
The fire engulfed the entire village, and all the Heiza people were trapped inside.
Di Shu was standing outside the village, about to rush in to look for Xie Qingxun, when a blood-red flame shot up into the sky, dyeing the sky red. Under the huge phoenix body condensed by the flames, Xie Qingxun slowly stepped out of the fire.
It is ghostly and cold, yet as fierce as a raging fire.
"Master, Master..." Looking at the flaming body slowly falling to the ground, Di Shu was stunned and speechless.
He just felt that in a trance, he seemed to see something else through his master's body.
Xie Qingxun stopped beside him, his gaze falling on the sea area where Qu Yaoyao disappeared. He pressed his forehead and sighed softly, "It turns out that there is more than just the aura that I hate here."
There were things that disgusted him even more.
The author has something to say: Xiao Xie, come here quickly, someone is trying to steal your wife.
