Chapter 72 Immortal Lord 072%
.
Mo Xuanxiao won the championship of the Fairy Sword Conference.
As a descendant of the ancient dragon clan, let alone being the leader of the Fairy Sword Conference, it is not excessive to crown him the Lord given the status and position of the dragon clan.
In this battle, Mo Xuanxiao unlocked the dragon race's meridians and spiritual acupoints. A warm current converged within his dantian, elevating his cultivation to that of a minor sect leader. The golden light on his forehead dissipated, transforming into a winding golden seal. His aura was cold and oppressive, yet this was only the beginning stages of his dragon bloodline's awakening.
As the crowd rushed towards Mo Xuanxiao, Qu Yaoyao heard someone say, "It seems that the Immortal Ruins will soon have another Immortal Venerable."
"Hmph." Pei Ziyi sneered.
Amidst the crowd's cheers and joy, his face was grim, his eyes blazing with anger. He hadn't even dealt with one Xie Qingxun, and now another one showed up. Fortunately, he already knew Xie Qingxun didn't have much affection for this disciple. Now that Mo Xuanxiao had suddenly become a descendant of the dragon clan, if he felt uncomfortable, Xie Qingxun would be even more upset.
"Junior brother, you really have a good disciple." Pei Ziyi said sarcastically.
At this moment, he couldn't touch Mo Xuanxiao, so he could only vent his anger on Xie Qingxun. "Junior brother, you should know better than me how powerful the dragon clan was in ancient times. I think it won't be long before Mo Xuanxiao's cultivation level surpasses you and me. What do you think..."
"After he becomes an Immortal Venerable, will he still call you Master?"
Xie Qingxun turned his head and looked at him.
His dark phoenix eyes were devoid of emotion as he slowly opened his mouth, "I'm afraid, Senior Brother, you won't see that day."
It was a brilliantly crafted statement, a curse that would keep Pei Ziyi from living to see Mo Xuanxiao crowned as an Immortal Venerable. It also hinted that Mo Xuanxiao wouldn't be crowned an Immortal Venerable, or even that he wouldn't live to be one. Pei Ziyi's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "I wonder how long you can hold on to your complacency!"
Xie Qingxun replied lazily: "Senior brother, you should take care of yourself first."
Qu Yingsi is the leader of the Wanmen Immortal Sect. During the Immortal Sword Conference, the main sect was unable to handle the matter properly. Now that the Immortal Sword Conference is over, the bloody incident in the Shibu Vanilla Garden, the extermination of several sects, the Shura that appeared in the Xingyang Sect, and the various items found in Qu Yingsi's room should all be dealt with one by one.
Xie Qingxun still has the secret letters between Qu Yingsi and Zi Cang Xianzun in his hands, which is enough to give him a headache for a while.
Pei Ziyi wanted to tear Xie Qingxun apart alive, but in front of so many people, he couldn't help it.
His gaze followed the crowd and landed on Qu Yaoyao. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his expression gradually recovered. Before he left, he said, "We'll see."
Xie Qingxun's expression was indifferent, and he also set his gaze on Qu Yaoyao.
Just now, after the golden light dissipated, Qu Yaoyao, with Xie Qingxun's permission, ran to the competition stage, deeply worried about her brother's condition. Fortunately, Qu Yushu was only knocked off the competition stage by Mo Xuanxiao. He suffered some internal injuries, but they were not serious.
After dealing with everyone, Mo Xuanxiao also came over to inquire about Qu Yushu's situation. Qu Yushu, supported by Qu Yaoyao, waved his hand. Compared to the fierceness he had just shown on the competition stage, he coughed lightly and said indifferently, "It's not shameful to lose to a descendant of the dragon clan."
Mo Xuanxiao smiled bitterly. Although he had already guessed his identity as a descendant of the dragon clan, he did not expect that this identity would cause such a great shock. The cultivators' worship of the ancient dragon clan remained unchanged even after ten thousand years.
"Madam Yao." Mo Xuanxiao looked at Qu Yaoyao beside him.
Qu Yaoyao was very nervous at the moment, so she forced a smile and nodded to him, "Congratulations."
In reality, she had lied to Xie Qingxun. She hadn't begged to come out just to watch the two's fight; she had a more important reason. Glancing at the stands, she saw Xie Qingxun talking to Pei Ziyi and not paying attention. She quickly said, "I've heard that dragons are a symbol of good fortune, bringing good luck to those around them."
Fortunately, she was innocent enough before, so when she asked the following question, the two men were not too surprised. Qu Yaoyao said, "Mo Xuanxiao, can I touch your hand to get some auspiciousness?"
Mo Xuanxiao was stunned, while Qu Yushu laughed: "Yaoyao, stop messing around."
Qu Yaoyao ignored Qu Yushu's attempts to stop her and quickly pulled Mo Xuanxiao's hand while Xie Qingxun wasn't paying attention. As she got closer, she kept blinking at him and spoke briskly with a barely perceptible tremor, "Mo Xuanxiao, I've been so unlucky lately. I hope you can bring me some good luck."
Mo Xuanxiao stared at her face, a multitude of emotions flashing across his eyes in an instant. When Qu Yaoyao withdrew her hand, he slowly clenched the object in his palm and said, "I don't know if Xuanxiao can bring good luck to Madam Yao, but whatever Madam Yao asks for, Xuanxiao also asks for."
He understood her hint!
Qu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and didn't notice Qu Yushu's gentle glance at her.
The three of them didn't chat for long. Soon, Di Shu walked over to Qu Yaoyao and urged her, "Madam Yao, Master said it's time to go back."
“…”
Xie Qingxun was still planning to keep Qu Yaoyao locked up.
On the way back, he casually asked, "What did you say to Qu Yushu?"
Qu Yaoyao was absent-minded. "Nothing. I haven't even said a few words yet and you come over to urge me."
Xie Qingxun heard the complaint in her words and glanced at her with his eyes lowered. "Are you blaming me?"
Qu Yaoyao stopped talking.
Since when, their relationship had changed from being as close as before, and an invisible barrier had gradually built up between them. Looking at the girl walking beside him, Xie Qingxun could no longer remember the last time she smiled at him. Obviously, she used to love holding his hand when walking.
They walked back to the bedroom in silence, and no one spoke again during the journey.
When they reached the courtyard, Gu Tianci came to report something, so Xie Qingxun slowed down his pace, but Qu Yaoyao did not stop. She did not wait for him, but walked past him, pushed open the door of the bedroom and closed it again.
Bang--
Xie Qingxun heard a heavy closing sound.
"Master?" Seeing that he was looking sideways at something, Gu Tianci stopped and called him.
Xie Qingxun's eyebrows showed a hint of annoyance. He pulled his collar and said indifferently, "Go find Di Shu to deal with it. Don't bother me anymore."
Gu Tianci opened his mouth, and watching Xie Qingxun walk away without looking back, he murmured, "Did I do something to displease Master?"
He didn't make Xie Qingxun unhappy, it was Qu Yaoyao who made him unhappy.
After returning to the bedroom, Qu Yaoyao collapsed onto the jade bed, feeling completely exhausted. She was just frowning, thinking about something, when the door was pushed open again. She saw Xie Qingxun come in and change his clothes. She asked, "Are you going out?"
Xie Qingxun responded indifferently.
Qu Yaoyao replied with an "Oh" and continued to look down, thinking about something.
The two of them were truly aloof. Xie Qingxun stopped undressing and looked at the person on the couch with an expressionless face. As if unable to endure any longer, he walked over to the couch. Qu Yaoyao felt a shadow cast over her eyes. As she looked up, she felt a hand on her chin and someone leaned over to bite her lips.
It was a very ungentle kiss, a little rough and violent, as if venting some dissatisfaction.
Qu Yaoyao was caught off guard and tried to struggle, but Xie Qingxun held her so tightly that she had no power to resist. After a struggle, they both fell onto the couch, their clothes in disarray. Qu Yaoyao grabbed Xie Qingxun's hair, and when she saw a chance, she turned away and said, "You hurt me."
Xie Qingxun held her wrist, and the cold kiss moved from the corner of her lips to her chin. He seemed to have completely ignored Qu Yaoyao's accusation.
Qu Yaoyao's eyes welled with tears, and she couldn't help sobbing as his actions became increasingly excessive. It wasn't just because Xie Qingxun wasn't gentle; she was also venting the grievances and complaints she'd been feeling for days. She hit him repeatedly, saying, "You're so annoying! I hate you so much."
Because of Qu Yaoyao's crying, Xie Qingxun gradually calmed down. Seeing that she was crying out of breath, he supported himself and stood up slightly, wiping her tears with his fingertips.
Qu Yaoyao's face was covered with tears, and she was resisting and didn't want him to touch her.
Xie Qingxun remained silent and waited for a moment. Seeing that Qu Yaoyao was crying more and more aggrieved and had no intention of stopping, he sighed and sat up from the couch. He pulled her into his arms and placed her on his lap, saying softly, "Don't cry."
He could see why Qu Yaoyao was crying, so he patted her back again and again, trying to soothe her. When Qu Yaoyao's sobs subsided, he bent down and kissed her eyes, then asked, "Master Huang sent over dozens of flowers yesterday to plant in the palace courtyard. Do you want to see them?"
Qu Yaoyao glared at him, her tearful eyes bright and clear, as if she had regained her former agility. She said, "Aren't you going to keep me imprisoned?"
Xie Qingxun was stunned for a moment, then repeated the word 'imprisonment'. He laughed, "Where did you learn this from? I was clearly asking you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."
Qu Yaoyao retorted, "What's the difference!"
There is a huge difference.
His pupils darkened a little, and Xie Qingxun's face looked a little cold, not knowing what he was thinking about. However, when he looked at Qu Yaoyao, those dark emotions disappeared quickly. He did not explain the difference between the two to Qu Yaoyao, but just leaned over and kissed her again. This time it was much gentler than before, which made Qu Yaoyao a little dazed.
When she came to her senses, Xie Qingxun had already left.
The door to the bedroom was open, letting in a gentle breeze. Qu Yaoyao could hear the cry of cranes outside, as well as the chatter and laughter of people passing by. She tentatively walked to the door, and this time, she successfully emerged from the bedroom.
The barrier of the bedroom was dispelled, and Xie Qingxun softened his heart because of Qu Yaoyao's crying. He allowed her to move freely in and out of the courtyard, but still forbade her to go too far, let alone leave Wangxu.
Looking at the newly planted flowers not far away, Qu Yaoyao walked closer and found that there were still water droplets on them. They were planted with sea soil.
"Chong'an."
"Chong'an, can you hear me?" Qu Yaoyao slowly squatted down. She felt that she was so useless. She could not remember the bad things others did to her, and she was so moved by the little kindness and consideration they showed her.
Qu Yaoyao whimpered and said softly, "What should I do? I'm regretting it more and more now."
She didn't want to lie to Xie Qingxun anymore, didn't want him to go to the desolate sea again, and even more didn't want Mo Xuanxiao to go to the secret realm to complete the task she had assigned him.
Just now under the competition stage, Qu Yaoyao gave Mo Xuanxiao the Kunlun Stone by touching his hand. There was also a note inside, asking him to find a time and space vortex in the secret realm to discard it and not to mention it to anyone.
This was an idea Chong'an suggested to her. He was worried that she would hand over the Kunlun Stone sooner or later. Instead of that, it would be better to let Mo Xuanxiao take the Kunlun Stone away. The vortex of time and space in the secret realm could distort and destroy anything, which was enough to destroy this Kunlun Stone.
Unfortunately, it's too late for her to regret now.
After Mo Xuanxiao's dragon bloodline was revealed, Sect Leader Huang discussed with other immortal sects and opened another higher-level secret realm for him, wanting to help him practice and fully awaken his dragon bloodline. In this way, their power in attacking the demon world would be even greater.
They agreed that when Mo Xuanxiao returned, they would gather all the major immortal sects to discuss attacking the demon world.
"Go in, we will wait for the Dragonborn to return."
As the secret realm cracked, Mo Xuanxiao clenched his sword. He turned his head to look in the direction of Wangxu for the last time, then stepped into the secret realm. Hanging around his waist was the sachet that Qu Yaoyao had given him, which contained the Kunlun Stone and the letter.
Each time the secret realm is opened, it lasts for two years. People who enter the secret realm can only stay there for a maximum of two years. If they do not leave within two years, they will be trapped in the secret realm. The secret realm can only be opened again after a hundred years.
After Mo Xuanxiao left, Xie Qingxun allowed Qu Yaoyao to move around in the courtyard, and later she could walk freely in the fairy ruins. His control over her became looser, and the time they met became less and less.
Xie Qingxun was still searching for the Kunlun Stone in the desolate sea, and this search lasted for a full six months. This half year seemed as long as a lifetime to Qu Yaoyao. Whenever she saw Xie Qingxun returning wet, her heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something, and she couldn't breathe and was in constant pain.
Once again, Qu Yaoyao didn't see Xie Qingxun again until two months later.
In the space of two months, she had already mastered two sets of sword styles, and her physical fitness was even better than before. Meanwhile, Xie Qingxun's complexion grew worse with each passing moment, his body temperature icy through the desolate sea, and this time, upon returning, he collapsed in front of Qu Yaoyao before even entering the bedroom.
"We can't go on like this." Di Shu scratched his hair in annoyance.
After closing the door to his bedroom, he complained to Qu Yaoyao, "Madam, please take care of our Master. If he continues like this, his health will collapse."
At the beginning, Xie Qingxun did not stay in the desolate sea for a long time, and he often went to Wangxu to handle affairs. This time, he did not return for two months. Di Shu was worried that something might happen to him, so he asked Huang Ying to protect him. He went into the desolate sea with his head held high, but found that Xie Qingxun was soaking in the depths of the desolate sea, and he did not know how long he had been unconscious.
"You mean, he has been soaking in the desolate sea for the past two months?" Qu Yaoyao felt depressed and clenched her hands tightly.
Slightly opening her mouth and breathing with difficulty, she pushed the door open and returned to the bedroom. She saw Xie Qingxun lying quietly on the jade bed, silent and lifeless. She could feel the coldness from him without having to get close to him.
Qu Yaoyao saw that frost had formed on Xie Qingxun's body again. Crystal flowers bloomed from his body and condensed into thick ice to wrap him up. Qu Yaoyao hurried over to help him ward off the cold, but she heard Chong'an sighing in her ear: "It's useless."
"Are we just going to watch him freeze into an ice cube?" Qu Yaoyao said impatiently, getting angry at Chong'an for the first time.
Chong'an fell silent, watching Qu Yaoyao lying on top of him and covering him with layers of thick blankets. After a moment, he said, "This frost didn't come from his skin. It was born from his consciousness."
"What do you mean?" Qu Yaoyao didn't understand and was unable to think at the moment.
Chong'an looked at Xie Qingxun who was gradually being frozen, and his eyes fell on his forehead.
Qu Yaoyao noticed his gaze and tentatively injected spiritual power into his forehead, but she was pulled into a dark and gloomy virtual world. Cold water soaked her whole body, and images flashed before her eyes, red, white and black. In the last glance, Qu Yaoyao seemed to see something bloody and blurred. Before she could see clearly, she was pushed out of the virtual world by a violent force.
Qu Yaoyao felt a sharp pain in her chest and vomited blood.
As she lay on top of Xie Qingxun, she vaguely heard someone outside the door say, "You must be joking! The two years haven't even come yet. Is Mo Xuanxiao stupid enough to come out early?"
Mo Xuanxiao...
Qu Yaoyao completely lost consciousness.
