Chapter 98 Zhangdao
The attacker was Luo Qing, who had rushed back. However, he was dressed in black, with a dark and iron-faced expression, and his aura was obscure and deep, making it impossible for anyone to recognize his identity.
Seeing the leading cultivator bowing cautiously, Luo Qing immediately released his hands.
With two "thumps," the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Jiyin Island, who had been choked to the point of near suffocation, fell onto the deck, clutching their necks and coughing violently.
Their faces turned from pale to white, and they made hoarse hoarse sounds. They didn't even have the strength to lift their heads, and their eyes were filled with lingering fear.
"Those two wanted to fight as soon as they met. I was just teaching them a lesson. You won't mind, will you?"
Luo Qing's voice was icy and flat.
The leading cultivator knew that the opponent's ability to subdue his two junior brothers without making a sound meant that their strength was far superior to his own.
So he quickly bowed and smiled obsequiously, nodding his head like a pestle being pounded, his tone both fawning and respectful:
"No, no, those two don't know the rules, they deserve to be scolded and punished!"
"You two, hurry up and apologize to your senior brother!"
The two dared not delay, and forced themselves to their feet, bowing repeatedly to Luo Qing, their voices hoarse:
"We know we were wrong, and thank you for your mercy, Senior Brother!"
Luo Qing wasn't there to cause trouble for these three, so she naturally wouldn't linger. She immediately changed the subject and asked:
"I've been away on missions for a long time, and I heard that the team that went to raid the island before was almost completely wiped out. Is that true?!"
"this...."
The leading cultivator immediately dared not answer, for judging from Luo Qing's tone, there seemed to be someone he cared about particularly in the raiding party.
"What? Is my question difficult to answer?"
Luo Qing narrowed his eyes, exuding an extremely dangerous aura that made the three of them tremble with fear.
"This person... such a heavy aura of murderous intent, he must be a murderer who has killed countless people! Damn it, why am I so unlucky!"
The leading cultivator's face fell, and daring not to delay any longer, he recounted everything he knew:
"Brother, only one of the fellow disciples who participated in the last raid has returned so far."
It is said that he was first hunted down by the Miaoyin Sect, and then escaped into the Jinyang Secret Realm. He survived in the secret realm by relying on his alchemy skills.
As for the others, he only mentioned encountering a junior disciple surnamed Luo who helped him with alchemy, but they didn't leave the Golden Sun Secret Realm together afterward, so he didn't know whether the junior disciple was alive or dead.
"Only one person returned! Damn it! Who is that survivor, and where is he now?!"
Luo Qing was extremely shocked and angry, but in fact, she felt relieved.
Because Nie Shan's explanation was exactly the same as what they had discussed.
But Liu Yueru is still a problem. Even if Nie Shan insists that he has never seen her and that he has no blood curse restrictions, a Core Formation cultivator could still search her soul and find out the truth if he is unreasonable.
Therefore, before returning to the island, Luo Qing must find out Nie Shan's situation to avoid falling into a trap.
"It is said that some trouble was caused, but a Core Formation Elder managed to save that fellow disciple. Before we left the island, he seemed to have been in seclusion for many days."
The leading monk was not entirely clear on this matter either, only knowing the general situation.
But that's enough.
Although the Soul Searching Technique is very useful, no matter how careful you are, the person being targeted will eventually be ruined.
Nie Shan's alchemy skills were quite good, and he had also obtained many precious spiritual herbs in the Golden Sun Secret Realm. It would be more than enough for him to ask a Core Formation elder to protect him.
Luo Qing himself had an even stronger backer. The Sun family patriarch was currently the number one Core Formation cultivator on Jiyin Island, and also the one closest to being refined into a Heavenly Capital Corpse Puppet.
"As long as we don't get captured by that old bastard Liu Cangwu the moment we arrive on the island, we'll have room to maneuver!"
With a thought, Luo Qing snorted coldly, stomped heavily on his foot, and left the black sailboat.
Before leaving, he glanced down at the ship full of Qi Refining disciples. A new cycle of reincarnation had begun, and the sins of Jiyin Island were still accumulating!
......
Three days later, at a dock on Jiyin Island, Luo Qing used a concealment technique to suppress his cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining, handed his disciple token to the guarding cultivators, and officially announced his return.
After verifying Luo Qing's identity, the Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed here first gave Luo Qing the real antidote for the Heavenly Capital Pill according to the rules, and then arranged for him to rest temporarily in a small building near the dock.
Luo Qing appeared obedient, but he had already noticed several transmission talismans shooting into the sky.
Clearly, many people on the island were watching his movements.
Luo Qing didn't care about these things, because he had already sent a communication talisman to Song Li before he even arrived on the island.
Sure enough, before Luo Qing had even finished a cup of tea in the small building, Song Li hurriedly arrived on his magical artifact.
Upon seeing Luo Qing, Song Li's face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy. He strode forward, grabbed Luo Qing's shoulder, and looked her up and down with fervent eyes, as if she were examining a priceless treasure that had been lost and found again.
"Haha, great! That's awesome! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"
"Hmm, your cultivation has even broken through to the peak of Qi Refining, that's really impressive!"
In the past, if Song Li had been staring at her so intently, Luo Qing would have felt a chill and felt extremely uncomfortable.
But now, his strength is mostly above Song Li's, so he could only sneer in his heart.
"Uncle-Master Song, this time I truly faced nine deaths and one life. If I hadn't shared the same fate with Uncle-Master Nie, I wouldn't have survived!"
Luo Qing looked terrified, as if she had just escaped a disaster, and then eagerly inquired:
"By the way, where's Uncle-Master Nie? Has he returned?"
"He got back before you. Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Come back to Earthly Fiend Peak with me!"
Upon hearing Luo Qing mention Nie Shan, Song Li immediately realized that his precious junior disciple was currently embroiled in trouble, and his expression turned serious.
Although the other party was Liu Cangwu's martial uncle, he could not back down if he wanted to save his life in front of his master.
Luo Qing naturally wouldn't refuse, and immediately jumped onto the gourd magic artifact that Song Li had summoned.
"Senior Brother Song, this person..."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the place wanted to say something, but was immediately glared at by him.
"What? Does Song need your permission to take his own nephew away?"
"No... I wouldn't dare!"
The man was startled by Song Li's aura, his face immediately turned pale, and he stepped back to bow.
"snort!"
Song Li snorted coldly, ignored the other party, and activated his magic weapon to rush towards the Earthly Fiend Peak.
After all, even with his master standing behind him, it would still be quite troublesome if Liu Cangwu intercepted him outside the Earthly Fiend Peak.
......
After an incense stick's time, a dark blue-green streak of light descended from the sky like a ghost, landing heavily on the dock.
As the light dissipated, a gaunt figure was revealed. It was an old man, his body like a withered tree, his face sallow, but his eyes were emerald green like ghost fire. He exuded a chilling pressure from the Core Formation stage, which enveloped the entire dock.
All the Qi Refining disciples nearby were filled with fear and quickly bowed in respect, not daring to even breathe loudly.
