Chapter 353: Tianxuan Sect Arrives
"…Nothing, just asking out of curiosity."
Lu Ran turned and walked out the door:
"Let's go, we have to go to the palace and remind father not to make any more stupid moves."
"Hiss...be careful with your words!"
"Isn't there anyone else? You are my brother, would you report me?"
“……” Lu Fan shook his head helplessly and followed.
My sister is good in every way, except that she dares to say anything about this in private. I don’t know who she got it from…
Princess Mingyue spoke lightly, but there was a hint of thought in her eyes.
What on earth was that wonderful starry sky that we had just entered under the guidance of the Regent Princess?
Why do I always feel like I've seen it before?
…
…
It's dark.
Xiao Changheng didn't know how long it took him to finally realize that he was in a state of losing all five senses.
Maybe it's a long time, or maybe it's just a moment.
Unlike his previous blindness, at this moment his vision, touch, smell... all his senses were completely lost. He couldn't speak or move, and he couldn't even feel whether he was moving or not.
The clear awareness that he had become "nothingness" surrounded him with an unprecedented sense of absurdity.
I don't know how long this state lasted. Time has no meaning anymore. Every second seems like an eternity, and yet everything seems to last only a moment.
All his willpower was called upon to deal with this extreme test, trying his best to stay awake and not fall into madness.
Until the burning heat in my palm broke it all.
There was a sudden light in front of his eyes, and the darkness faded into a foggy gray. He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, but found that his eyes did not feel uncomfortable due to the sudden light.
Then I realized that I could move.
But the feeling is still somewhat indescribably strange.
Xiao Changheng was looking down at his hands and body when a cold, pleasant and familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"This is your spiritual consciousness, just get used to it."
He turned back suddenly, and the moment he saw the clear clouds, he finally felt relieved.
Then comes doubt.
"...Spiritual consciousness?"
Xiao Changheng looked around, saw the vast gray space where no one could distinguish between heaven and earth, and then looked at his hands.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Yun Qingqing looked straight at him, frowning:
"How much do you remember before you lost consciousness?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and the gray fog in front of the two of them suddenly fluctuated, as if an octagonal window had opened in the void, revealing a scene.
Xiao Changheng was stunned for a moment, looked over carefully, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
What was displayed in the "window" looked like an empty hall, with densely packed runes on the ground, spreading outward in circles.
On the wall in the far background, there are also layers of runes that emit a faint glow.
And right in the center of the rune formation, a person was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his legs and knees were densely covered with runes.
Looking closely, the runes were climbing up slowly.
Xiao Changheng's gaze fell on the man's face and he clenched his fists secretly.
That's him.
He saw himself in the center of the hall, the stone tablet on his waist emitting a flickering golden light.
Although there were no signs, he intuitively felt that the stone tablet was fighting against the runes that were spreading over his body.
The memory before he lost consciousness suddenly flashed through his mind. He paused for a moment and suddenly shouted:
"It's Chu Jingyan! He suddenly appeared and attacked me!"
He had no idea what happened next, but the man's hood was blown away by his palm, and he would definitely not mistake that face.
Yun Qingqing waved away the picture, and the surroundings returned to being gray.
She looked relieved:
"Fortunately, my memory is intact and my soul is fine."
"Qingqing," Xiao Changheng turned to her and asked solemnly, "Are we trapped here by Chu Jingyan?"
Yun Qingqing shook her head:
"It's not us, it's you."
"...What do you mean?" Xiao Changheng asked in surprise.
Yun Qingqing sighed quietly:
"I am just a spiritual consciousness that is sealed in the protective array. This array itself is enough to deal with most evil spirits. I sealed this spiritual consciousness just in case. It will only be activated when your life is threatened."
At this point, her eyes turned cold:
"Who would have thought that the first time I encountered such an opponent, he actually wanted to throw you into the Qiankun furnace to refine you, what a big deal!"
Chu Jingyan had obviously made all the preparations, as she directly used the Qiankun Furnace as soon as she made a move. Otherwise, she would not have been able to send a message to her main body in time, and would not have had to use all her strength to keep Xiao Changheng safe.
In addition, the appearance of the Qiankun furnace was another reminder to her...
Yun Qingqing was thinking when suddenly a thunderous sound came from a distance, booming throughout the space.
Xiao Changheng raised his head vigilantly, but still found nothing but gray.
"This is inside the protective array. As long as the array is intact, they can't touch you." Yun Qingqing explained, "I pulled your consciousness in to prevent the Qiankun Array from eroding your soul."
Xiao Changheng nodded, but he didn't feel relieved at all.
He was silent for a while, then slowly asked:
"Is this enemy very difficult to deal with?"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips coldly:
"It's indeed a problem for my weak spiritual sense, but it's nothing compared to the real body. Don't worry, although my remaining strength can only last for another half a day at most, it's enough."
Xiao Changheng frowned even more tightly:
"If something happens to you, what will happen to the main body?"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and smiled at him calmly:
"I've already said that it's just a spiritual consciousness. Even if I disappear completely, my main body will just need to be nurtured for a few decades. It will recover eventually. Don't worry."
Xiao Changheng looked at her for a moment, turned his head silently, and rubbed his eyebrows.
She had been taking it lightly for decades, but he found it increasingly difficult to take it lightly.
But what frustrated him most was that he knew very well that she was telling the truth.
…
…
The southernmost border of Xilan is a mountainous area, the most steep of which is a high mountain.
Guhe Mountain.
There is a group of ancient and magnificent stone buildings on the mountain, and in the center of the mountain top is a stone temple.
There are a few large, ancient characters engraved on the palace door, exuding a sense of vicissitudes.
Seven Star Hall.
At this moment, the entrance of the hall was filled with young men and women in white robes. They were all disciples of the Seven Stars Hall.
Their qualifications were not enough to enter the hall and participate in major events. From time to time, a group of people looked into the hall and talked in low voices.
Inside the hall, both sides were lined with senior white-robed disciples. Several elders sat on high seats, looking at a group of green-robed Taoist priests who were looking aggressive in front of them.
The voice of the great elder on the throne was like a loud bell, majestic without even getting angry:
"Tianxuan Sect and my Qixing Palace have never had any grudges. I wonder why they suddenly came to visit us with such fanfare today?"
The leader among the Taoists was an old Taoist with white beard and eyebrows, who looked like an immortal. He put his hand on the whisk and looked slightly angry. He said in a cold voice:
"The Seven Stars Hall condoned the evildoers and plotted against the elders of our Tianxuan Sect in Pingzhou. My junior fellow disciple Qingxuanzi is still missing and her life or death is unknown! Today I am here to seek an explanation. I hope the elders will not protect the criminal and hand her over!"
The elders sitting in the audience were stunned and looked at each other.
Finally, the Great Elder spoke:
"Master, please stop joking. How powerful is Qing Xuanzi? Even we have to be courteous to him. We old guys haven't left the mountain for many years. How can the disciples who go out to train be able to touch Qing Xuanzi?"
"If there was only one disciple, it would be impossible for him to be a match for my junior brother, but she was more than one person at that time!"
Tianxuan Sect leader Qingpingzi said, turning to a middle-aged Taoist priest beside him and said in a deep voice:
"Cang Huai, you speak!"
The middle-aged Taoist looked haggard, with one of his hands wrapped in thick cloth. It was Cang Huai who had escaped by jumping off the tower during the battle at the Nine-story Pagoda!
