Chapter 159 Jiang Qiong returns, the dark night
Is the old man Kusong dead?
Gu An was a little dazed when he heard Gu Zong's words.
Although he and Patriarch Kusong were not very close friends, they had a very pleasant chat when they went to the inner sect library.
Hearing the news of the death of Old Ancestor Kusong, he had an indescribable feeling.
"The supreme elder has passed away. I remember that the old ancestor Kusong seemed to be in the Xuanxin realm, right?" Zhen Qin said with a frown.
When the Epiphyllum Sect attacked, Patriarch Kusong fought a fierce battle with Lord Chiqian, causing his Taoist name to spread throughout the Taixuan Sect. He had become a great cultivator whose reputation in the Taixuan Sect was second only to Lord Fudao Jianzun.
Upon hearing the news of his death, even Zhen Qin, who had no connection with Old Ancestor Kusong, felt sad.
Gu An raised his eyes to the horizon and saw dark clouds, indicating that a rainstorm was coming.
The death of Patriarch Kusong shocked the entire Taixuan Sect, and the news quickly spread to the world of immortal cultivation.
Three days later, Gu An arrived at the inner gate city as scheduled to participate in the worship of Ancestor Kusong. Hundreds of thousands of disciples in the city observed a moment of silence and listened to the sect elders recounting the life story of Ancestor Kusong. Even the new disciples who had just joined the Taixuan Sect felt grief.
After telling the life story of Patriarch Kusong, Taixuan Sect also publicly announced for the first time the great demon catastrophe that would break out in several decades, causing an uproar in all the cities.
In the days that followed, various sects of the Taicang Dynasty also announced this matter. The peace of the immortal cultivation world was once again broken, and all immortal cultivators felt a sense of crisis.
Someone from the Xuanxin realm has already fallen, and this disaster is more terrifying than the previous rebellion of the Epiphyllum Sect.
Autumn goes and winter comes.
The winter snow gradually covered the Xuan Valley.
On this day, Gu An stayed in the Xuan Gu loft early in the morning waiting because he felt a familiar breath coming.
Late at night, a figure appeared in front of Gu An's window.
Gu An went forward, opened the window, and let the intruder in.
This was a woman in white wearing a bamboo hat. After entering the house, she took off the bamboo hat, turned around to look at Gu An who was setting up the ban, and asked with a smile: "My dear disciple, did you miss me?"
After Gu An finished applying the ban, he turned to her and asked curiously, "Where have you been these years? Are you okay?"
He threw a lifespan probe at Jiang Qiong.
[Jiang Qiong (Nascent Soul Realm Level 6): 243/700/5490]
Huh? The maximum lifespan is 5,490 years!
Gu An remembered that Jiang Qiong's maximum lifespan was more than two thousand four hundred years.
It seems that there is a great opportunity in the Nine Nether Road!
Jiang Qiong smiled and said, "I went to a mysterious place and got a great opportunity. Your master is such a great man, how could I not live well?"
Looking at Gu An's concerned look, Jiang Qiong felt warm in her heart.
There are still people in this world who care about her.
Gu An asked Jiang Qiong to sit down first while he started to make tea.
"Disciple, how have you been these years?" Jiang Qiong asked, looking at the furnishings in the house.
Gu An turned his back to her and said, "As always, I plant flowers and read books. By the way, I made it into the top 500 in the previous Golden List Conference, thanks to the magic weapon given to me by the senior in the sect..."
Talking about the Golden List Conference, he was very proud and showed off to Jiang Qiong on purpose.
If it were in the past, Jiang Qiong might still be surprised, but after experiencing the rebellion of the Epiphyllum Sect and venturing into the Nine Netherworlds, her perspective has changed dramatically.
Faced with Gu An's bragging, she just felt funny and relieved at the same time.
She was happy to see that the boy was doing well.
After Gu An finished speaking, he came to the table with hot tea. After he sat down, he poured the tea and asked, "What about you? Can you tell me something?"
Jiang Qiong smiled and said, "I have offended a big shot and have to hide in Bajing Cave Heaven for a while. Are you sure you want to know?"
When Gu An heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it. If you want to hide, then hide. I will definitely not betray you."
Jiang Qiong had taught him a lot in the past, and the Bajing Cave Heaven originally belonged to Jiang Qiong, so there was no problem in taking her in.
The most important thing is that Gu An already knows who is chasing Jiang Qiong.
Before going to Guhao Sect, Gu An discovered Jiang Qiong during a spiritual exploration. The reason why he accepted the leader token of the Epiphyllum Sect was to leave it to Jiang Qiong.
It just so happens that Jiang Qiong has ambitions! The two great cultivators of the Transcendence Realm were chasing Jiang Qiong, but they had already lost him and were now wandering around the nearby Dayu Dynasty.
Hearing Gu An's words, Jiang Qiong smiled. She raised her hand and took out a long white jade bottle, saying, "The spiritual juice in here is a good thing. You should take a sip every month. Don't drink too much to avoid blood disorder. This spiritual juice can improve your root bone aptitude."
"How can this be used? You should keep it for yourself."
"I've already drunk a lot, and this is what's left. This stuff has no effect on me anymore, so you can keep it and don't refuse!"
Jiang Qiong said with a stern face, and Gu An had no choice but to accept it.
After chatting for half an hour, the two moved to the Bajing Cave.
Gu An revealed that the Cang Teng tree had developed intelligence, but Jiang Qiong disagreed and said that the Cang Teng tree in Qianqiu Pavilion also had intelligence.
Before in the attic, Gu An had already sent a message to the Cang Teng tree, telling it what it could and could not say.
Returning to the Bajing Cave Heaven again, Jiang Qiong could feel that the spiritual energy here was more intense than before, which made her very satisfied with Gu An.
"Disciple, Qianqiu Pavilion has been disbanded, and my relatives have died tragically. From now on, I will have to depend on you. You won't mind, right?" Jiang Qiong raised her hand and leaned on Gu An's shoulder, asking with a smile.
Gu An took a half step to the side and said, "Why would I despise you? I still want to learn the formation from you."
Afterwards, he came under the Cang Teng tree, dug out the Ji family's magical powers, and gave them to Jiang Qiong.
This was what Jiang Qiong snatched when he went to the Ji family banquet. It records the magical powers of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Gu An had already mastered the Dao Gang of Heaven and Earth, and promoted it to Dao Gang Yuan Qi. Now, even if he was careless and enemies of the same realm attacked him by surprise, it would be difficult for him to be killed instantly, as the Dao Gang Yuan Qi could protect his body independently.
Looking at the magical Taoist treasure in her hand, Jiang Qiong had a complicated look in her eyes. For some reason, she felt a little complicated.
Gu An looked at her expression and thought to himself that this was not good.
Would she be touched? He immediately found an excuse to leave.
Jiang Qiong looked at his departing figure and said in her heart, "This kid is really stupid. He doesn't even bother to study it."
She could feel that the restriction on the magical power of the Daozang was still there and had not been broken, so she thought that Gu An had not moved.
Being so stupid, you will get into trouble sooner or later.
Got to teach him!

Jiang Qiong's return did not change Gu An's life. He only went to Bajing Cave Heaven once every seven days. He prepared various herbs for her in advance and asked her not to pick them and leave them for him to pick.
Jiang Qiong had known about his habit for a long time, so after returning to Bajing Cave Heaven, she did not do anything reckless. Gu An had prepared the herbs, so why should she do it? Because of the death of Patriarch Kusong, the atmosphere in Taixuan Sect was colder this winter than in previous years.
At the end of the year, a major event occurred, that is, the surrender of the Hanlu Dynasty. At this point, the Taicang Dynasty annexed the Hanlu Dynasty, breaking the pattern of the Nine Dynasties for thousands of years.
Li Xuandao's prestige soared, and even the outer sect of Taixuan Sect was discussing him.
If he could really unify the world, he would surely go down in history!
Gu An heard from the outer sect that Li Xuandao had begun to send troops to the Wuzhen Dynasty. This time, the people had no complaints and instead praised Li Xuandao.
It is said that the distant Tianwei Dynasty is also at war, and the current emperor has ambitions no less than Li Xuandao's.
It is worth mentioning that the death of Patriarch Xing Yan has not been spread, and Tian Wei has not questioned Tai Xuan Sect because of Si Zong’s death. It is obvious that they want to swallow this loss.
These things had nothing to do with Gu An, so he just listened in on the fun.
When the New Year comes, Ye Lan and Zhen Qin come to Gu An to celebrate the holiday.
Gu An divided the spiritual juice given by Jiang Qiong into three portions and gave them to Ye Lan, Zhen Qin and Xiao Chuan respectively, and gave them individually, asking them not to reveal it to anyone else.
Just after the Spring Festival, Taixuan Sect began to recruit disciples to explore the land of demons.
Faced with the inevitable disaster, Taixuan Sect did not want to sit and wait for death, so it offered generous rewards to attract disciples to go and investigate.
Some disciples who were about to die or who had difficulties in their practice signed up enthusiastically, but Gu An asked Ye Lan and Zhen Qin not to participate. Fortunately, the two girls obeyed his orders.
In the years that followed, news about demons continued to reach Taixuan Sect.
The number of demons in various places of the Nine Dynasties is increasing, which is clearly a sign of a demon disaster.
Time flies like an arrow.
Two years later, it was late autumn.
Under the cover of night, in a forest, Emperor Xie was walking.
He stopped and black crows flew out from the darkness in front of him. They flew over Emperor Xie and landed on a big tree behind him. They condensed into a human figure, which was dark and strange, and its true appearance could not be seen.
"His Majesty is looking for you, why don't you go back?" said the mysterious figure.
Emperor Xie asked in return: "Why go back? Aren't we going to go south sooner or later?"
His tone was full of sarcasm.
"Why are you so opposed to His Majesty's plan?" the mysterious figure asked in a deep voice.
Emperor Xie sneered: "Isn't the world big enough? Even in the land of demons, there are countless mountains that are not under his control. Why must he kill all the human race?"
The mysterious figure snorted, "The demon race and the human race cannot coexist. Only by destroying the human race can we protect our safety."
"But there are still humans overseas. How long will it take to destroy them? I think he has been bewitched by the demon master!"
"Don't criticize the Master Demon!"
"Anyway, I don't care. I won't go back. I want to practice in Taixuan Sect. Don't come to me in the future. If you are caught by Fudao Jianzun, I will not help you even if you die!"
After saying this, Di Xie turned away.
The mysterious figure said in a cold voice: "Fudao Sword Master? The old ancestor Kusong of Taixuan Sect died at my hands before. If I meet Fudao Sword Master, I will make him suffer the same fate as the old ancestor Kusong and boil him into meat soup!"
Di Xie did not look back and disappeared into the darkness.
The mysterious figure snorted coldly, turned into a group of black crows and flew away, flying out of the mountains and forests and heading north.
This group of black crows flew at an extremely fast speed and left the Taicang Dynasty not long after.
Half an hour later, the black crows flew over the North Sea Mountains and arrived at the forest of the Taichen Dynasty.
The black crows flew into the mountains and fields, landed beside a small river, and re-condensed into a human figure. This time, he revealed his true form, with a crow's head and a human body, covered with black feathers. The wings on his back were folded. He squatted down and immersed his hands in the river.
The night was cool and the river was shimmering.
Pah! A hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder, causing his face to freeze.
