Luo Jianqing felt much more relaxed when he was with Venerable Yuqingzi. This senior master had always been protective of him and loved him deeply. Even now, in these tense times, Yuqingzi had single-handedly protected Luo Jianqing. Otherwise, having witnessed the collapse of the withered mountain, Luo Jianqing might have been pursued and intercepted by members of other sects, forcing him to relive that horrific scene countless times.
After entering the Far North, Yu Qingzi sighed, "Perhaps even I don't have the same firm determination as Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi."
Luo Jianqing asked in confusion: "Determination?"
Yu Qingzi smiled and nodded. "Indeed, determination. At such a critical moment, Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi was able to push you away with a single palm strike. He truly treats you very well. Jianqing, you don't have to worry. Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi is formidable. He's been to three of the four most dangerous places on Xuantian Continent, and even to the Far North. How could he possibly fail here?"
Luo Jianqing did not answer.
Yu Qingzi said, "However, the most important information you brought back this time was not the collapse of the withered mountain, but the ambitions of the demon race. You are still young and do not know how terrifying Jin Li, who is chasing you, is. His strength is far superior to that of Senior Brother Guanglingzi. It can even be said that he can defeat Senior Brother Haoxingzi."
Luo Jianqing was stunned for a moment.
On Mount Taihua, the strongest was undoubtedly Xuan Lingzi, followed by Venerable Hao Xingzi and Venerable Guang Lingzi. The former had cultivated for over two thousand years, mastering the peerless Qingyun Sword technique of Cang Shuang Peak; the latter was exceptionally gifted, having slain two Earth-ranked demon lords, equivalent to mid-stage Mahayana cultivators.
Including the fallen Fairy Fengsi, among the ten great perfection Mahayana cultivators in the late stage of the world, Hao Xingzi can be ranked in the top five, and Guanglingzi can be ranked in the top seven.
That Jin Li actually has such terrifying strength?
Yu Qingzi said, "Jin Li is the last of the dragon clan in the world. As the last divine beast, he is naturally gifted. After more than 6,000 years of cultivation, he has reached the Earth Rank and is only one step away from the Heaven Rank. Over a thousand years ago, your master and the Demon Lord set a trap for Jin Li and took away his demon core. Since then, his strength has declined significantly, and it is said that his mind and appearance have also been affected. Now, I don't think his strength is stronger than Yin Ji, one of the four great demon lords."
Luo Jianqing said in disbelief: "He is so powerful?"
Yu Qingzi said helplessly, "So, when I learned that you were able to escape from Jin Li, I couldn't believe it. Jianqing, you are lucky. If Jin Li hadn't lost his mind, I'm afraid even you wouldn't have been able to escape."
Luo Jianqing did not answer, he did not want to talk about it anymore.
After searching for about three days, Luo Jianqing and Yu Qingzi finally found the dusty Huo Mingzi in Fengshen Sea. Huo Mingzi was squatting on a small island, earnestly waiting for a flower to bloom. Seeing Luo Jianqing and Yu Qingzi approach, he waved his sleeves and said, "I'll return when this flower blooms!"
Yu Qingzi said angrily, "You said you were going to come find Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi and Jian Qing? How can you be lazy here?"
Huo Mingzi was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his head and muttered, "I was so happy when I saw the Wind Return Flower that I actually forgot about this matter. Oh, no, that's not right. At that time, I was thinking that if I waited until the Wind Return Flower bloomed, I could use it as the core to refine a weapon. Maybe I could use this thing to directly find Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi!"
Yu Qingzi was surprised and asked, "What are you refining? You can even use flowers to find people?"
Huo Mingzi said, "You'll know in a day. Hush! Don't talk, the flower is about to bloom. The Fengqie flower is as timid as a mouse, so don't scare it. This is the first time in my life that I've used a Fengqie flower to refine a weapon. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."
"You should go find Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi!"
"Yes, yes! After I finish refining this flower, I will definitely go find him."
Venerable Yuqingzi snorted coldly and settled down on the island with Luo Jianqing. Neither she nor Luo Jianqing believed that Venerable Huomingzi could use a single flower to create a magical tool for finding someone. However, the Fengqi flower was indeed rare. If Venerable Huomingzi hadn't discovered it first, even Venerable Yuqingzi would have been jealous.
Venerable Yuqingzi said, "Jianqing, this Fengqie flower is truly a treasure. It's such a pity that it has already been found by Senior Brother Huomingzi."
Luo Jianqing nodded and said, "Yes."
Venerable Yuqingzi turned to look at him doubtfully and asked, "Jianqing, aren't you curious at all?"
The handsome monk turned and looked calmly at his uncle-master. There was no smile on his face, and it was impossible for him to force one. He simply said, "Uncle-master, right now, I just want to find Master. I just want to know if he's okay. Never in my life have I regretted so much. Why did I come to the Far North? Why did I put my Master and my friends in danger? Uncle-master, how could I have the heart to be curious?"
Looking at Luo Jianqing's exhausted appearance, Venerable Yuqingzi slowly opened his eyes, slightly opened his lips, but did not speak.
The two of them sat there, Luo Jianqing lowering his head in silence. After a long moment, Venerable Yuqingzi whispered, "Jianqing, your relationship with your master... seems to be really good?"
Luo Jianqing said "hmm" softly and didn't care too much.
Venerable Yuqingzi frowned in confusion, his eyes bewildered.
At this moment, within the Kushan Mountains, the battle between the two spiritual forces continued. Waves of ethereal power emanated from Xuan Lingzi's body, rippling across the mountain walls and causing them to tremble.
A streak of blood gradually flowed from Xuan Lingzi's lips. His brows were furrowed and his face turned pale.
As the sky gradually darkened, the seemingly endless battle continued.
