Chapter 35 Immortal Lord 035%
…
Qu Yaoyao wanted to transfer the poison from Xie Qingxun to herself.
Activating the essence of the snow lotus, soft light lingered around her like a blooming snow lotus, tightly embracing Xie Qingxun.
She thought, since Xie Qingxun said that the Cold Pond Snow Lotus might be able to help him detoxify, she might as well give it a try. She didn't know what to do specifically, so she could only place her lips on the wound on his neck according to her own understanding, and lower her head to slowly draw the poison into her mouth.
Closing her eyes, Qu Yaoyao's consciousness fell into darkness. In the boundless void, only her own body was glowing.
Tick-tock, tick-tock——
There was the sound of water dripping into the water.
The cold air was rampant in the darkness, and this icy cold was like the cold pond in the fairy ruins that gave birth to the little snow lotus, making her feel very comfortable.
Her body seemed to lose weight, suddenly floating lightly in the air. Qu Yaoyao returned to her original form in the darkness and began a long, endless drift. She didn't know where she was, nor how she got here. Her feet couldn't touch the ground, and she frantically searched for an exit when her back suddenly bumped into something.
Bang--
It was the sound of chains vibrating.
Qu Yaoyao turned around, the light on her body scattered around. She saw several thick and heavy chains lying behind her. Each chain was as thick as her arm, made of white jade, crystal clear and emitting a cold air. It seemed as if she had seen them somewhere.
Chains seemed to have fallen from the sky, dangling from all sides, all leading to the darkest center, as if locking something. Intuitively, Qu Yaoyao knew danger was imminent. She tugged at the chains, intending to walk in the opposite direction. Turning, she suddenly heard a faint thumping sound.
Dongdong——
Dongdong——
Slow and powerful, like the sound of a beating heart.
As if bewitched, Qu Yaoyao drifted uncontrollably towards the depths of darkness, soft light emanating in small balls, like stars scattered on the chains she passed. Qu Yaoyao rolled twice in the air, and after floating for who knows how long, she bumped into something again.
Bang.
This time it was a very dull sound.
It was no longer a chain, but an ice coffin filled with cold air. The ends of the chains were wrapped around it, densely wrapping the ice coffin, leaving only gaps for people to peek inside.
The ice coffin is transparent.
Qu Yaoyao floated around the ice coffin, pulling the chain and studying it carefully. She vaguely saw a blurry dark red color, and there seemed to be something inside the ice coffin.
Dongdong——
Dongdong——
The sound of the beating heart came from this ice coffin. Qu Yaoyao knocked on the coffin and asked quietly, "Hello, is there anyone in there?"
The dark void was boundless, carrying Qu Yaoyao's voice far away and back again.
She floated to the top of the ice coffin, slowly lying on the coffin while holding the chain. Following the gap in the chain, she held her breath and looked inside the coffin. Her sight went down layer by layer, and through the clear ice crystals, she saw a person lying in the ice coffin.
Swish——
When she saw the man's face, the light in Qu Yaoyao's body instantly went out.
“…”
The defensive barrier protecting the guest room dissipated.
This barrier suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. Di Shu tried every way to get in but couldn't, so he could only anxiously guard the door.
It was about to dawn outside. As the barrier dissipated, Di Shu smelled a strong smell of blood. His hand trembled as he pushed the door open, and he rushed into the room with great force.
"Master!" When he saw the black blood all over the ground, he staggered and almost fell to his knees.
In the inner room, blood soaked the bed and trickled down to the floor, creating a glaring pool of blood. On the bed, Xie Qingxun lay quietly on his back, eyes closed, while Qu Yaoyao lay on top of him, the two of them tightly clasped together, each holding their necks tightly, neither moving.
"Master... Respected." Di Shu slowly knelt in front of the couch.
Both of them were covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell who was injured. But the dark red bloodstains were clearly from Xie Qingxun, who had been poisoned by the viper. Di Shu reached out and slowly approached the two, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Just when he was about to push Qu Yaoyao away, the person under Qu Yaoyao suddenly opened his eyes.
Xie Qingxun woke up.
When he woke up, he felt a warm and soft suction on his neck, as if a small piece of skin was being held in someone's mouth.
As he woke up, Qu Yaoyao, who had fallen into the void, also woke up with trembling eyelashes. Her weak breathing fell on people like soft feathers, intermittently, as if she would die at any time.
"You...are awake?" Feeling the movement beneath her, Qu Yaoyao raised her little head with difficulty.
Her once fair and clean cheeks were now covered in dirty black blood. She leaned against Xie Qingxun, her eyelids heavy as she forced herself to ask, "Has the poison in you...been cured?"
Xie Qingxun stared at her little face as she was about to fall asleep. After a moment, he wiped the blood stain from the corner of her lips with his fingertips. With his eyelashes drooping, he replied softly, "It's done."
Not only was the poison removed, but all the wounds, big and small, on Xie Qingxun's body were also basically healed.
"You--" His voice was a little hoarse, and he wanted to ask Qu Yaoyao why she still saved him. However, before he could ask, the girl leaning on his chest lowered her head and could no longer hear his voice.
"What is she doing..." Di Shu was a little dazed.
Unable to sense Qu Yaoyao's breath again, he murmured, "Is Qu Yaoyao... dead?"
Xie Qingxun's face was drooping, the side of his face obscured by his dark hair revealing an unclear, gloomy expression. His gaze fixed on Qu Yaoyao's face, he slowly began to loosen his grip around her arm, using his sleeve to slowly wipe the blood from her cheek.
"Go find two sets of clean clothes." Xie Qingxun never answered Di Shu's question.
Holding Qu Yaoyao's head in his arms, he said expressionlessly, "Return to Wangxu."
.
After disappearing for a whole day, Immortal Qingxi returned.
Not only did he come back, he also found his missing fiancée. However, he had been slow to let her show up, and the first thing he did when he came back was to end the wedding.
"From now on, Qu Yaoyao, the daughter of the leader of Xingyang Sect, is my wife." Xie Qingxun changed into the wedding dress he should wear on the wedding day.
It is a strange story. On the wedding day, the newlyweds who were supposed to get married disappeared, leaving all the guests staring blankly. A day later, they came back without offering sacrifices to heaven or worshiping the earth, and the first thing they did was to say that the ceremony was over. Everyone was talking about it for a while, and anyone who heard it would say it was ridiculous.
"Immortal Lord, this may not be in accordance with the rules." The headmaster wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and came out to speak.
"Yes." As he spoke, the other elders of the Immortal Sect also tried to dissuade him, "This hasn't been done before, and the rules of the Immortal Sect cannot be abolished. I'm afraid the outside world won't approve of you doing this..."
"Who dares to question it?" Xie Qingxun's voice was filled with pressure. "Qu Yaoyao has already moved into the Immortal Ruins, and I have already engraved her name in the clan register. As early as when I found her, I had already offered sacrifices to heaven and earth with her, but I didn't let you see it."
Seeing Xie Qingxun's firm attitude, everyone could only relent. "Each of the immortal sects has come all the way here. Even if we can't witness the Immortal Lord's wedding, you must at least let us see Madam Yao."
"Yeah, at least let everyone take a look."
"What's so good about this?" Xie Qingxun raised his eyelids and looked at the people who agreed, his eyes filled with ice. "My wife is seriously injured and is recuperating in bed. Do you want me to carry her out, or do you want to enter my bedroom?"
"We..." Someone wanted to argue.
He was interrupted by Xie Qingxun's cold question: "You can't see my wife just because you want to."
Even if nothing unexpected happened to Qu Yaoyao on her wedding day, she would still be married into the Immortal Ruins with her face covered in red. Whether she was willing to meet guests afterwards was entirely up to her. But now, without Qu Yaoyao saying a word, her husband had already declined on her behalf.
"Everyone means well. Immortal Qingxi's words are a bit too harsh." Many of the people present were among the most powerful people in the world of cultivation. Although they could not be on par with the two emperors of Xianxu, they were well-known and some were even much older than Xie Qingxun.
Indeed, Xie Qingxun's words were too harsh, inconsistent with his usual gentle and cold demeanor, revealing his sharp edge. However, this was the real Xie Qingxun, and all the previous ones were just disguises.
Di Shu followed Xie Qingxun and it was the first time he heard him speak so harshly. When he realized what was happening, he quickly spoke up to make amends, "My wife is seriously injured. The Immortal Venerable is just too worried."
"Everyone, the Immortal Venerable's wedding has passed, and we have all gathered at the Wanmen Immortal Sect. The most important thing to pay attention to right now is the evil spirits in the Demon Realm."
Gu Tianci was also present. Seeing Di Shu's intention, he also changed the subject, "Yes, those evil spirits actually dared to attack on the day of the Immortal Lord's wedding. They really don't take our Immortal Sect seriously."
"Disciple demands a thorough investigation of this matter. We cannot let this go!"
”
"Tian Ci Immortal Lord is right. The Demon Realm has become increasingly rampant in recent years. I wonder if you have heard of the warning from Yunta Town. This time, I came here to discuss this matter with you."
"What eight words did you say, fellow Daoist?"
Some people who don’t know the answer are curious, “Which eight words?”
"The devil is born, and great disaster is coming."
Everyone chatted back and forth, quickly letting go of the matter of Xie Qingxun's wedding. The head of the Wanmen Immortal Sect secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then someone laughed disdainfully. The arrogant young cultivator said, "Where did you hear this joke?"
"Ever since the founding of the sect by the Emperor of All Laws, the world of cultivation has flourished for thousands of years. Evil spirits are like ants crossing the street. Where did this demon god come from? Or is it just some scabby pretender from some ditch?"
Xie Qingxun raised his eyes slightly and looked at the young man who was speaking.
"How dare you!" An old man quickly scolded, "You ignorant young man! When the demon god was wreaking havoc on the world, your father was still a little boy!"
"Oh?" the young man continued, "Then why haven't I heard my father mention the name of the Demon God?"
The young man was so arrogant because he was the son of the leader of the Xuanqing Sect, the most powerful sect besides the Wanmen Immortal Sect. Ignoring the angry glares from those around him, he continued to ask, "Master, may I ask, what is the name of the demon you are talking about?"
The old man opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but it seemed like something was blocking his mouth, and he never dared to say the name.
As the old man fell silent, all the surroundings fell silent for a moment. In the eerie silence, Xie Qingxun silently raised the corners of his lips, fixed his gaze on the young man, and slowly uttered two words: "Emperor Phoenix."
Prince Difeng, a name that exists in Kunlun mythology.
The world has changed dramatically over the ages, and this name has been lost for so long that many people have forgotten it. Emperor Phoenix is just a nickname for the king of an ancient tribe, and it is followed by a name.
However, very few people know this name, and those who personally witnessed the appearance of this name dare not mention it.
The author has something to say: I was so hungry that I went out for a midnight snack, and when I came back I couldn’t finish writing QAQ.
The next chapter will continue with another 6,000 words.
