Leng Yan looked at the wounded Qin Du and said calmly, "Is it clean?"
Qin Du replied politely, "It's been cleaned up." Leng Yan continued to ask, "Who are these people?" Qin Du said, "They are a group of independent cultivators. They learned that I had obtained the Frost Sword and decided to kill people to steal the treasure. As for whether there is someone behind this, I'm not sure."
He has been staying here for the past few days. On the one hand, Leng Yan asked him not to look for her, and on the other hand, Qin Du wanted to investigate who sent this group of people and what their purpose was.
Leng Yan looked at him and said, "Then we will part ways and go our separate ways." She didn't want to help Qin Du deal with those who coveted the Frost Sword every day, or be hunted by them every day.
Leng Yan disappeared from the spot after she finished speaking. After Leng Yan left, Qin Du and Gong Cang looked at each other. Gong Cang slapped Qin Du with one palm, but Qin Du dodged and then attacked Gong Cang with the Frost Sword in his hand.
However, due to the huge gap in realm between the two, Qin Du could not get close to Gong Cang, and since Qin Du was already injured, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by Gong Cang, unable to fight back.
Just when Gong Cang was beating hard, Leng Yan's voice rang out from the side: "Gong Cang, don't beat him to death." Gong Cang stood up immediately after hearing this, straightened his messy clothes, and instantly turned back into his immortal appearance.
Gong Cang then looked at Leng Yan beside him and asked, "Why is Yan'er back again?" Leng Yan said, "There's something I want to confirm."
As she spoke, she walked to the room at the side, and came out not long after. When she came out, Leng Yan glanced at Gong Cang. Gong Cang was a little panicked for a moment. Could it be that Yan'er already knew? But Leng Yan said nothing, retracted her gaze and left.
Seeing Leng Yan leave, Qin Du immediately picked up his sword and left. He did not go to look for Leng Yan because he knew he could not find Leng Yan.
Gong Cang was the only one left there. He stood there, the silver moonlight casting a faint halo over him, masking the sinister aura around him. He stared at the direction Leng Yan had left, then averted his gaze for a long moment before walking off in another direction.
Five years had passed in a flash, and during these five years, several major events had occurred in the world of cultivation. The first was the replacement of the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, and the second was the emergence of a killer named Su. She never failed in any mission she took on, but she always killed those cultivators who had committed many evil deeds.
The third thing is that the family of Elder Qingyu of Qingyuan Sect was wiped out overnight, and the murderer has not been found out yet.
Leng Yan was already 22 years old at this time, and her cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Mahayana period.
At this moment, she was waiting for someone in the attic of a small town in the human world. She was dressed in black and had a veil on her face, but her unique temperament attracted the attention of people passing by below.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a woman's soft cry was heard from the city gate. Leng Yan looked up lazily and her gaze met Qin Du's.
The group of women followed Qin Du's gaze, and when they saw Leng Yan, they all looked away with regret. So, he knew that fairy, so he must be an immortal too. How could an immortal be interested in mortals like them?
Thinking of this, the group of people also withdrew their gaze. Qin Du was already 21 years old at this time. He had grown up and his eyebrows were handsome, but there was a sense of solemnity between his eyebrows and eyes.
Qin Du walked quickly towards the attic where Leng Yan was. In a short while, Qin Du arrived in front of Leng Yan. After several years of experience, Leng Yan's eyes became more and more indifferent when looking at people.
She glanced at Qin Du, her eyes devoid of any emotion, then retracted her gaze and looked down and said, "Sit down." Qin Du immediately sat down next to Leng Yan.
In the past five years, he and Leng Yan had only seen each other a few times a year. Leng Yan went wherever she wanted, and the few times he met Leng Yan were in secret realms. But Leng Yan only glanced at him lightly and turned away, as if they were strangers.
This time he came to see Leng Yan because Leng Yan said that she would take him to visit the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Leng Yan's voice came from the side: "Have you been practicing well recently?"
Qin Du immediately replied: "Senior Sister, I have been practicing hard and now I am in the early stage of Nascent Soul." After hearing this, Leng Yan just nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Then Leng Yan stood up and walked downstairs. Qin Du didn't dare to say anything and followed her immediately.
The two men left the small town and flew towards the Ming Dynasty on their swords.
The two of them flew on their swords for two full days before arriving at the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and was the most powerful country in the world.
Leng Yan and his companion arrived at the gate of the capital and looked at the prosperous capital in front of them. Leng Yan's heart did not experience any extreme fluctuations, but was instead very calm.
Leng Yan took Qin Du towards the city gate. After entering the city, they walked towards the palace. People who practiced Taoism were not allowed to use spiritual power at will in the mortal world, so the two had to walk to the palace.
Not long after the two entered the city, they heard a noise coming from behind. Someone in the crowd shouted, "The Second Princess is coming, please get out of the way!" When they heard the Second Princess's response, Leng Yan looked behind them.
Only then did she realize that there were people kneeling on the ground behind her, while she and Qin Du were standing there without moving. The huge street was suddenly filled with people kneeling, so Leng Yan and Qin Du, who were standing there, became extremely conspicuous.
At this time, the second princess Leng Pianran saw someone standing outside through the curtain. She lifted the curtain with a cold face to see who was so tired of living that he stood there instead of kneeling.
As a result, as soon as she lifted the curtain, she met Leng Yan's indifferent eyes. Leng Pianran's heart skipped a beat and she was a little dazed. This man's expression was really too similar to Yan'er's.
At this time, Leng Yan took off her veil and looked at Leng Pianran. When Leng Pianran saw Leng Yan's face, her pupils shrank and she knocked the teacup on the table to the ground.
She quickly called out to the servant who was about to go over, "Come back." The servant was stunned, his foot stopped in mid-air, and he turned to look at Leng Pianran.
When he met Leng Pianran's displeased eyes, he immediately turned back to the car. Then Leng Pianran looked at Leng Yan and tried her best to suppress herself from crying out loud. She said to Leng Yan, "Fifth sister, come here."
Leng Yan withdrew her gaze, then walked towards Leng Pianran's carriage with Qin Du. The people kneeling on the ground immediately made way for Leng Yan to pass.
They lowered their heads and could not see what the newly returned Fifth Princess looked like. They could only glimpse the dark hem of her dress passing by them, carrying a faint scent of snow lotus.
Leng Yan walked to the front of the carriage. Leng Pianran immediately lifted the beaded curtain in front and said to Leng Yan, "Fifth sister, come up quickly." Seeing this, the guards beside her bravely stepped forward to stop Leng Yan and said, "Sir, please show me your ID card."
These two people looked so extraordinary that one would want to kneel down and worship them. They were obviously immortal cultivators.
After hearing this, Leng Yan glanced at the guard indifferently, and the guard's face immediately turned red when Leng Yan looked at him.
Leng Pianran was about to scold the guard when Leng Yan took out a dark black token and handed it to the guard. Leng Yan hadn't used this token for more than ten years and she had just found it from a pile of tokens in the storage space.
The guard respectfully took the token, confirmed it was correct, and immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Fifth Princess." The other servants beside the carriage followed suit. Leng Yan took the token back and boarded the carriage.
