Chapter 68 Immortal Lord 068%
Xie Qingxun did not attack Qu Yingsi immediately.
During the time when Di Shu accompanied Qu Yaoyao back to Xingyang Sect, Di Shu monitored Qu Yingsi every day and found that she often went in and out of the back mountain and hid some unknown little secrets.
The barrier at the back mountain of Xingyang Sect was too strong for Di Shu to enter with his ability, but he keenly sensed that something was wrong with the barrier. It was reinforced with Pei Ziyi's spiritual power.
Qu Yingsi has been in seclusion for many years and has never taken part in the sect's conflicts. So why is there a barrier set up by the Immortal Zi Cang himself on the back mountain where she practices?
Xie Qingxun vaguely guessed something, and a plan gradually took shape.
He gathered his five fingers together, collecting the Phoenix Clan's treasures one by one. A faint smile curled the corners of his lips. A strong wind had risen outside, rustling the leaves with a loud noise. Di Shu pushed open the door to investigate, only to have his sleeves blown off by the wind.
"Master, it looks like it's going to rain."
Not far away, there were dark clouds, the sky was extremely low, and they were rushing towards the Immortal Ruins at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at the increasingly dark sky, Xie Qingxun said lightly, "The weather is going to change."
The entire world of immortal cultivation is about to change.
The heavy palace door slowly closed, isolating the impending storm outside. Di Shu's last look outside the palace was at the gorgeous flower gardens on both sides of Chengyu Palace. A barrier slowly enveloped them, shielding them from the impending storm.
Bang.
The palace doors were closed.
The girl in the yellow skirt was walking through the flower garden when she suddenly stopped...
.
After Xie Qingxun left, Qu Yaoyao hurriedly checked to see if her pendant was intact.
Fortunately, Xie Qingxun knew the seriousness of the situation. Although he had deliberately frightened her, he hadn't done anything to damage the pendant. She picked up the pendant, brushed off the nonexistent dust, and called softly, "Chong'an, are you there?"
That night at Zhuzhen Tower was so chaotic that she had no time to take care of many things.
Her last memory of Chong'an was that he rushed over to her without hesitation to protect her from the damage of the Jade Bone Fan, but was shattered by the Jade Bone Fan and his body was penetrated by it, and the sky was filled with sharp magic fragments.
Faintly, she seemed to see the mask on Chong'an's face being shattered, but the situation was too chaotic at the time and she couldn't see anything clearly. She only remembered that Chong'an was injured, but she didn't know when he disappeared.
"Chong'an."
"Can you hear me?" The pendant on her palm was dim and Qu Yaoyao called Chong'an several times but to no avail.
While waiting for Chong'an's response, she searched every corner of the bedroom trying to find a gap in the barrier. However, Xie Qingxun was determined to lock her up this time, and no matter what method she used, she could not break the barrier.
Her body hadn't recovered yet, and she was exhausted after all the tossing and turning. She sat down on Xie Qingxun's golden chair. Tentatively recalling the story of Zhuzhen Tower, she became more and more worried that Chong'an had escaped. She couldn't help but pick up the pendant and wiped it, calling softly, "If you can hear me, please answer me."
"Chong'an, I'm so worried about you." Although he was in a virtual body, the damage caused by the jade bone fan and the defensive spells he set up were real.
"If you can't respond, just let the pendant light up, just for a moment." At least let me know you're not in it.
After a long time without a response, Qu Yaoyao pressed the pendant against her forehead and tried to force her spiritual sense into the pendant. She was too worried about Chong'an, and when she focused her spiritual sense, she ignored the movements around her, which caused her to fail to notice Xie Qingxun's return in time.
Snap——
The palace door was pushed open without any warning.
When Xie Qingxun came in, he saw the girl lying on the golden chair, her loose pajamas spread out messily on the chair surface. She closed her eyes tightly and rested her forehead on the pendant around her neck. She realized something was wrong around her, and she suddenly opened her eyes. She screamed in fear and her soul flew away. She quickly shrank back.
"What are you doing?" Xie Qingxun looked at the pendant, then slowly fixed his gaze on Qu Yaoyao's face.
Qu Yaoyao wanted to shrink back behind the chair. Her heart was still pounding and she stammered, "I'm..."
"I'm thinking about Li Qing."
"What are you thinking about that requires you to put the pendant on your forehead?" Xie Qingxun curled the corners of his lips and walked towards her.
Qu Yaoyao had nowhere to retreat. Seeing him approaching step by step, she grabbed the armrest of the golden chair and was about to jump down and run away. However, before her feet touched the ground, a slender hand grabbed the armrest, followed by another hand, blocking her way to escape.
Xie Qingxun trapped the people between himself and the golden chair, and asked her with a smile, "Why are you running?"
The dark hair fell and brushed her face. Qu Yaoyao couldn't help but shrink back. She hugged herself weakly and helplessly, and argued weakly, "I didn't run away."
Xie Qingxun was too lazy to argue with her. Compared to this, he cared more about what Qu Yaoyao was doing with the pendant just now.
Under his repeated questioning, Qu Yaoyao insisted that it was just an ordinary pendant. Xie Qingxun trapped her on the chair, his slender fingers silently sank into her collar. He said in a cold tone, "Qu Yaoyao, my patience is limited."
"I...I didn't lie to you, it's really just um." Qu Yaoyao's words were interrupted because Xie Qingxun's hands were very long and beautiful, and he was determined to teach her a lesson.
The bedroom was very spacious and the scenery outside was beautiful. Even though the two of them had been intimate several times, Xie Qingxun always responded to her requests. He was very indulgent towards her and never bullied or tortured her.
Then, Xie Qingxun's fingers were slender and white, and Qu Yaoyao's little skirt was also beautiful, with tassels hanging down, and the beautiful skirt swayed gently with the movements, layer upon layer like a blooming flower.
"Enough." Qu Yaoyao reached out to grab Xie Qingxun's hand, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
"Xie Qingxun." Her voice became intermittent, "Let me go."
Xie Qingxun controlled her body with one hand, clasping her neck and touching her. He was speechless because even a bland kiss couldn't be described. After she was in a harmonious trance, he lowered his voice to a level of allure, "Tell me, what exactly is hidden in this pendant?"
"Yes..." Qu Yaoyao was so captivated by him that she almost blurted out the word 'Chong'an'.
But when the words came to her lips, a surge of heat rushed over her, making her lose her ability to think, and she fell on Xie Qingxun with a trembling body. Xie Qingxun was also stunned, and he had a new understanding of Qu Yaoyao's sensitivity.
"What on earth are you...doing?" Because of this sudden change, her consciousness gradually returned and she stuffed the secret back into her stomach, and began to sob uncomfortably.
She felt very aggrieved, and even had an inexplicable sense of shame. Seeing that she had bullied someone severely, Xie Qingxun slowly pulled his hand out and wiped her tears, "Why are you crying?"
Qu Yaoyao smelled the rich fragrance of lotus and turned her face away, refusing to let him touch her again. Xie Qingxun rarely saw her shy, so he chuckled and explained, "This is just my way of loving you."
Qu Yaoyao's skin was still flushed with blush, so she refused to believe it. She cried, "It's not written in the book that this is allowed."
"Is it that book 'The Tyrannical Immortal Fell in Love with Me' again?"
Xie Qingxun sneered: "Yaoyao, I know much more than what you read in the books. Instead of reading those crappy books every day, you might as well pester me to teach you a few tricks."
The topic has gone too far.
His gaze fell on the pendant around Qu Yaoyao's neck again, his eyes darkening as he added, "I can give you the ultimate pleasure, or I can make you cry even harder than you are now."
The hot breath hit Qu Yaoyao's ears, and she heard him threaten: "If you provoke me again, we can give it a try."
He has many ideas but hasn't used them yet.
“…”
Xie Qingxun had been tolerant of Qu Yaoyao time and again, but this time, because she had bullied him so badly, he let her go again. But there was no limit to the third time. If Qu Yaoyao let him find out that she used this pendant to poke his eyes again, he would not relent even if she cried ten more times.
After the dark clouds moved in, a torrential downpour came and lasted for three days.
During these three days, Xie Qingxun never let Qu Yaoyao leave the palace, seemingly to prevent her from causing trouble. He also sent Yunzhi back to Xingyang Sect, under the pretext of letting her reflect alone in the palace.
But what was there for her to reflect on? What had she done wrong?
Bean-sized raindrops fell continuously, and the fierce wind swept through, destroying countless young plants. No matter how big the umbrellas, the cultivators would be soaked to the skin. In this extreme weather, the Immortal Sword Conference continued to compete. The cultivators competed in the torrential rain. Those with weaker mental strength were affected by the heavy rain, and those who had originally had a chance of winning ended up losing miserably.
As each competition passed, fewer and fewer cultivators remained. The closer it got to the end, the harder and harder it became to win the competition. Especially since the attention of the sect leaders in the stands greatly increased their pressure.
In a rainstorm, only these sect leaders and masters have the ability to withstand the rain without an umbrella. However, the long-term consumption of magic is also a great test of their cultivation.
Most people came to watch the competition between Mo Xuanxiao and Qu Yushu. As soon as their competition ended, these powerful people left to take shelter from the rain, and they didn't forget to smile and stroke their beards and say, "This kid really didn't disappoint me."
As of today, Mo Xuanxiao has surpassed Qu Yushu and won fifteen consecutive victories, becoming more and more courageous with no signs of decline. After Qu Yushu lost a game after interrupting his fourteen-game winning streak, he started his winning streak again. These sect leaders have high expectations for the two of them.
After the rainstorm, there was no sunny day, but a cloudy and overcast sky.
The scorching summer heat seemed to be blown away by the downpour, the damp wind bringing a hint of coolness. After another drizzle, Xie Qingxun finally attacked Qu Yingsi. On the rainy day, a demon had appeared in the Ten-Step Herb Garden, but was rounded up and fled, disappearing into the sect.
This was not a small demon, but a great demon with extremely high cultivation. He killed dozens of people while escaping with cruel and brutal methods.
The deaths weren't limited to the Wanmen Xianzong's disciples; they also affected disciples from other sects participating in the Immortal Sword Conference, creating a significant impact. The frequent occurrences finally angered Sect Leader Huang, who resolved to capture the demon and ordered the main sect's disciples to conduct a thorough investigation throughout the sect, even spreading the findings to other sects, pavilions, and peaks.
After Xie Qingxun and Pei Ziyi learned about this place, they also sent people to help with the search. With the help of Xianxu, the search work progressed smoothly. Not long after, Di Shu and his party found suspicious points in Xingyang Sect and led disciples from various sects to sneak in quietly.
Afterwards, they found bloodstains in the back mountain of Xingyang Sect.
There was a barrier at the back of the mountain, and it was so quiet inside that nothing could be seen. Everyone suspected that a demon had sneaked into the barrier. Just as they were about to open the barrier and search the mountain, Qu Yingsi came out to stop them, refusing to let them in no matter what.
She said that this was the forbidden area of Xingyang Sect, and only the successive leaders of Xingyang Sect could enter to practice. It was protected by a barrier, and no demons could sneak in.
Qu Yingsi hadn't lied. She hadn't designated the back mountain as a forbidden area; rather, it was a decree from the old sect master that only the sect master was allowed inside, and the sect's rules were unbreakable. Seeing her assertive attitude and seemingly unintentional, the cultivators who had come to pursue her looked at each other, and one of them offered, "How about we search around here?"
Di Shu nodded and said, "Since this is the forbidden area of Xingyang Sect, I think the demon has no way to enter, so we..."
Before he could finish his words, a crack appeared in the barrier before him, and wisps of evil spirit emerged from it. Everyone heard the roar coming from within the barrier and drew their swords, saying, "The demon is hiding in the barrier."
"Master Qu, why don't you open the barrier quickly!"
Qu Yingsi couldn't believe it, "How is it possible!"
"The mountain protection barrier is so strong, how did this monster get in?"
She was about to open the barrier, took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, as if thinking of something. She turned her head to look at Di Shu, her eyes dark and full of inquiry, and she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"ah--"
Following the cracks, many people were trapped by the evil spirit, and some were sucked into the barrier by the evil spirit, screaming in terror.
The demon was more powerful than they had imagined and was by no means easy to deal with. They hurriedly sent a message back to the main sect to request reinforcements. Seeing Qu Yingsi standing there motionless and silent, they couldn't help but shout, "Master Qu, what are you waiting for!"
Yes, what was she waiting for?
Logically, Qu Yingsi should open the barrier and fight the demons together with this group of people, but for some reason, she always felt that something was strange and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. However, before she could make a move, a light blue magic light passed by her face and hit the solid barrier directly.
Bang--
The barrier shattered into millions of pieces of light, revealing the demon behind it.
The murderous aura rushed over and tore off the human skin disguise. The true body of the monster was three meters tall, with a green face, fangs and six eyes. There were sharp and thick thorns on its back with black tips.
"What on earth is this thing!" The cultivators were all stunned.
Some cultivators who had seen more of the world calmed down a bit, dragging their injured companions to hide in a corner, explaining breathlessly, "This must be a demon that has fallen into the devil's way. Judging from its appearance, it must have practiced Taoism for at least a thousand years and has become a Shura."
In this world, demons are above monsters, and monsters that fall into the devil's way are called monsters. It takes a thousand years of cultivation to reshape their monster bodies and turn them into Shuras. Of course, just a few words may sound simple, but there are very few monsters that can actually be shaped into monster bodies.
It is also because of this that, apart from the pure demons born from the symbiosis of heaven and earth, Shura is the most powerful existence in the three realms of demons and monsters, and is extremely difficult to deal with.
"How could a Shura sneak into the Wanmen Immortal Sect?"
The injured disciple coughed a series of times out of excitement and couldn't help but speculate: "Those bloody incidents in the Ten-Step Vanilla Garden must have been caused by him!"
"More than that." Looking at Shura, who was smashing the ground with a punch not far away, someone else added, "It's also closely related to those murders of families."
The reason they were able to chat again was because Xie Qingxun had appeared in time to protect them from the evil spirit brought by Shura, keeping them safe. The pale blue light collided with the black and red evil power, and it was obvious that the blue light was superior.
Looking at the fluttering white figure in the air, the young disciple sighed, "Qingxi Immortal Venerable is truly formidable."
"Of course. Do you think anyone can be the Immortal Venerable?"
Everyone knew that Qingxi Immortal Venerable and Zicang Immortal Venerable were the pinnacles of the cultivation world, holding up half the sky. For a long time, no one could confirm who was stronger, until today, when everyone saw Xie Qingxun easily subdue Shura, and they had a rough idea of who was stronger.
Shura was subdued and everything was settled. To everyone's surprise, Xie Qingxun ordered people to capture Qu Yingsi.
Disciples from the main sect discovered numerous traces of demonic activity in the back mountains, and also found demonic artifacts and several swan plants in her room. Because she had been reluctant to open the barrier in the back mountains, no one dared to intercede for her after her capture. Implicated in the extermination of several factions, no one dared act rashly until the truth was known.
"Immortal Qingxi is really good at this." Qu Yingsi finally realized what was wrong, but she discovered it too late and had already fallen into Xie Qingxun's trap.
As she was being escorted into the Wangxu Underground Palace, she coldly questioned Xie Qingxun, "You framed me like this. If Yaoyao knew about it, what would she think of you?"
Thunder rumbled in the distance and the fine rain grew heavier, but not a drop fell on Xie Qingxun.
Di Shu held up the umbrella for him just in time. In the damp wind and rain, Xie Qingxun looked at Qu Yingsi with a slightly sidelong glance, uttering a few words without emotion, "What if she finds out?"
Doesn’t Qu Yaoyao know enough now?
Even if she knew that Qu Yingsi was framed by him and imprisoned in the underground palace, she could not change anything.
No one can.
…
In Wangxu's bedroom, Qu Yaoyao sneezed for no reason while listening to the sound of rain outside.
The author has something to say: Aunt Qiuqiu, please forgive me, I really didn’t write anything.
If you see any weird and inconsistent paragraphs, it’s probably because they were revised to pass the review.
