Senior Brother Hang walked up to the three of them and said to Linglong, "Are you a disciple of the Wan Ying Sect, young lady?"
Linglong struggled to her feet and said, "Si Linglong, a disciple of Master Longquan of the Wanying Sect, thanks all the seniors for saving my life."
After speaking, he bowed deeply to the five people.
A-Jiang and Ji-Yi, who were standing nearby, were equally disheveled, but they also struggled to come over and bow, as they had to express their gratitude for being saved.
Senior Brother Hang helped Linglong up and said with a gentle smile, "I am Hang Fengcheng from the Qinglian Sect. Our two sects have always had a good relationship, and my master and your master have been friends for many years. Junior Sister Linglong, you can just call me Senior Brother Hang. The three young friends are quite seriously injured, so healing is the priority."
While skin wounds heal easily, injuries to the muscles, bones, and internal organs require long-term rest.
The three expressed their gratitude once again.
Senior Brother Hang introduced the other four: the aloof woman was Qin Weiyu, the gentle woman was Liuyun, the disdainful man was Baili Kang, and the serious man was Kou Yan. The five of them had accepted a mission from their sect to investigate the unusual activity in the Qingqiu secret realm.
After chatting for a while, the group noticed that A Jiang and the other two looked tired, and since it was already past midnight, they took out a tent, settled the three of them in, and planned to send them out of Qingqiu early the next morning.
After a night of excitement, all three were exhausted and seriously injured. After tidying up a bit, they went to sleep.
The next morning, just after everyone had finished breakfast, the sky suddenly changed color, and dark clouds covered the entire Qingqiu.
A cold, eerie voice declared, "All humans and cultivators must leave Qingqiu immediately, or face death!"
Waves of oppressive power spread out with the sound waves, causing a surge of spiritual energy in those who heard the words.
The five members of the Azure Lotus Sect all looked extremely grim, staring silently at Wu Yun.
Then several enormous bolts of lightning struck wildly in all directions, and the man's voice seemed to echo between heaven and earth:
"I won't say it a second time, get out of here now!"
"It should be a demon king of the demon race." Senior Brother Hang frowned. "Let's leave this place."
Qin Weiyu remained expressionless and silent, but A Jiang felt that she was not afraid of the so-called demon king at all, and the look in her eyes seemed to be one of impatience.
A-Jiang suspected he had misread the situation, so he looked at the others, but most of them looked worried and gloomy. Even Baili Kang, who was usually laughing and joking, didn't say a word.
The five of them silently activated their escape light and led A Jiang and the other two away from Qingqiu.
"Didn't they say that the Nine-Tailed Fox betrayed the Demon Realm and joined the Heavenly Realm? Why is this Demon King so concerned about Qingqiu?" Liu Yun asked curiously.
"The demon realm cannot allow the Qingqiu secret land to remain under human control indefinitely," Kou Yan analyzed.
"Speaking of which, those foxes are really amazing. I wonder what the ancient times when all the immortals gathered were like."
Baili Kang also seemed quite eager to go.
"Now that things are settled here, it's time for us to return to our sect. Where are you going? Shall we see you off?" Liu Yun said to Linglong.
"No need to trouble Senior Sister Liuyun, we can just use the teleportation array in Qingzhou City," Linglong replied obediently.
"Then you should hurry home. Those five rogue cultivators should still be nearby. Be careful that nothing else happens," Liu Yun carefully instructed.
A-Jiang followed silently behind Qin Weiyu, her heart filled with curiosity about her. Senior Sister Qin, that cold and aloof beauty, although she appeared as fragile as a vase, A-Jiang keenly sensed that she harbored many unknown secrets within her heart.
The five members of the Qinglian Sect safely escorted them to the teleportation array in Qingzhou City. Linglong bid them farewell with heartfelt gratitude, and then the two groups embarked on different paths.
After successfully returning to her family's motorcade, A-Jiang spent her days lying in the carriage recovering from her injuries. Although the old woman in charge complained about her laziness, A-Jiang was too lazy to argue with her and simply waited quietly for her injuries to heal.
