The Young Lady Only Wants to Cultivate Immortality Chapter 104

Tears echoed through the sky from Summer Shadow Peak, Mystic Crane Mountain.
Ye Bingfeng and Jiang Qiuchun’s hearts were filled with mixed emotions. Although they, along with Shan Xinci, were the peak masters of the three peaks, their daily interactions were limited to necessary grand occasions. They were not close in their daily lives.
However, seeing Shan Xinci, their fellow peak master, perish like this, both of them couldn’t help but feel grief.
After the pain, they thought about the current predicament of Mystic Crane Mountain, and a sense of helplessness arose – pity for its misfortune and anger at its inability to help itself. At this critical juncture, Mystic Crane Mountain was in dire need of manpower, yet Shan Xinci, for some unknown reason, took her own life. How was this different from a deserter on the battlefield? It was truly unbecoming of a peak master.
The death of a cultivator was different from mortals; there was no reincarnation, nor was there a custom of holding funerals in the human world. After mourning for a while, the two hurriedly left Summer Shadow Peak. Mystic Crane Mountain did not have the luxury of indulging in grief.
The disciples of Summer Shadow Peak, after a bout of crying, had to continue guarding Mystic Crane Mountain and defending Summer Shadow Peak.
After everyone had left, Shan Lei carried Shan Xinci’s body into the secret chamber of Summer Shadow Peak.
Gazing at the lifeless, stiffening person before her, Shan Lei’s heart ached with each passing moment. She clutched her chest, which was throbbing with pain, and fell to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
Shan Lei felt that she also bore responsibility for Shan Xinci’s death. If she hadn’t brought back the news, if she hadn’t made Shan Xinci aware of the dire situation, Shan Xinci wouldn’t have felt such guilt and ultimately despaired to offer her life as atonement.
When Ye Bingfeng and Jiang Qiuchun asked about the reason for Shan Xinci’s suicide, Shan Lei pretended ignorance. She did not reveal Shan Xinci’s actions, so that in everyone’s eyes, she would still be the merciful Venerable Minci who pitied all living beings.
As for the true murderer who killed Shan Xinci, Shan Lei clenched the golden core in her palm, her eyes flashing with determination. If she had the chance, she would definitely avenge Shan Xinci.
That sanctimonious Saint Venerable Dao Rong was the cause of all this. If not for his deceit, how could Shan Xinci have mutated into these uncontrollable demonic beasts, leading her to eventually be unable to bear the guilt in her heart and take her own life?
With so many cultivators lost from Mystic Crane Mountain and so many innocent lives wasted in the human world, how could the high and mighty Saint Venerable Dao Rong not know all of this?
Even in death, Shan Xinci did not believe that the Venerable whom she had wholeheartedly admired was a devil with dark intentions and a duplicitous nature.
Shan Lei vowed to expose his true face.
She slowly absorbed Shan Xinci’s golden core, adjusted her breathing, and then bonded with the magic artifact that Shan Xinci had asked her to find.
Shan Lei knew that her original cultivation level was too low, making revenge for Shan Xinci as difficult as climbing to heaven. Even with Shan Xinci’s golden core and her entire cultivation, confronting Saint Venerable Dao Rong would be like a moth flying into a flame.
What she could do now was to find a way to deal with the current Mutated Beasts, fulfill Shan Xinci’s last wish, protect Summer Shadow Peak, and safeguard Mystic Crane Mountain.
Shan Lei took one last look at Shan Xinci, trying in vain to smooth the frown on her brow. Looking at the wounds on her body, Shan Lei felt another wave of heartache.
She had almost forgotten about Shi Qingqian. Looking at Shan Xinci’s burns, this was also one of the reasons that led to her death. Shi Qingqian was also one of the culprits, and she would definitely get revenge!
As Shan Lei was adjusting her breathing and absorbing Shan Xinci’s golden core, Jin Quecong, along with the great demons from the Demon Realm, arrived at Mystic Crane Mountain ahead of schedule.
Seeing the shattered barrier at the Crane Gate and hearing the earth-shattering cries from within, Jin Quecong couldn’t help but be alarmed.
She said to the great demon beside her, “I fear the Demon Lord has personally come. We are a step too late.”
The great demon beside her saw several stray Mutated Beasts gnawing at the surroundings of the Crane Gate. Some smaller, flying Mutated Beasts had even climbed onto the Ice Crane Immortal’s position and were gnawing at its head.
Their arrogant and unrestrained demeanor truly resembled the unruly demonic beasts raised by the demon race in the past.
However, since the Demon Lord Shi Yu unified the Demon Realm, such scenes were rarely seen.
“What is the origin of this new Demon Lord? There was no news of her before. I don’t think any of the great demons in the Divine-Demon Realm have broken through.”
Jin Quecong nodded. “There are only a few great demons in the Divine-Demon Realm, and it’s not them. This new Demon Lord must have not been in the Demon Realm before. Do you think she has a grudge against Mystic Crane Mountain? Why is she so brutal?”
She frowned, looking at the corpses scattered around the Crane Gate.
The last time she came to Mystic Crane Mountain, she had only intended to seize territory, and she had shown mercy by not taking lives. It was nothing like the current brutal scene.
Mystic Crane Mountain was littered with corpses, and many houses and caves were burning.
Even if they took it, they would still have to spend effort and resources to repair and rebuild it.
The great demon beside her looked at the Mutated Beast gnawing at the Ice Crane Immortal with drool still hanging, and felt uncomfortable. They were accustomed to being demons who could control their demonic nature, and such raw brutality had not been seen for a long time.
As for the Ice Crane Immortal, it was indeed extraordinary. No matter how much those Mutated Beasts gnawed and slapped at it, they couldn’t cause any damage.
It flicked its wings and flapped them a couple of times, causing the Mutated Beasts on its body to fall to the ground.
Seeing it look in their direction, Jin Quecong and the other great demons became vigilant. However, the crane merely glanced at them before returning to its resting posture.
“What’s the deal with this thing? You say it’s powerful, but it ignores the current situation. You say it’s useless, but look at the heavy casualties in Mystic Crane Mountain, and it’s fine.”
Jin Quecong raised her eyebrows and agreed with this statement. The Crane Gate opened once every five years, and the Ice Crane Immortal was in charge of its opening, but it seemed to only manage this matter and disregard everything else.
With Mystic Crane Mountain in its current state, it did not consider closing the gate to resist the enemy.
“It’s actually quite good. It probably doesn’t care who owns Mystic Crane Mountain. When our demon race takes over Mystic Crane Mountain, it should be able to guard the gate well.”
The great demons beside her, thinking of moving from the Demon Realm to the spirit-energy-rich, green mountains and clear waters of Mystic Crane Mountain, couldn’t help but feel happy.
Although they didn’t rely on spirit energy for their cultivation, places with abundant spirit energy had beautiful scenery, fragrant flowers, and many rare Mutated Beasts. Only a fool wouldn’t want such a good place.
The first thing the new Demon Lord did upon returning to the Demon Realm was this grand display. Although it was a bit brutal, it truly brought glory to the demons.
“Let’s hurry. If the Demon Lord takes Mystic Crane Mountain, we’ll have come for nothing,” one great demon said excitedly, her tone urgent and eager. She wanted to perform well in the new Demon Lord’s first grand endeavor and gain some prestige.
Jin Quecong agreed and gave an order. She left half of the great demons to guard the entrance for the follow-up demon army and followed her into Mystic Crane Mountain to support the Demon Lord.
When Ye Bingfeng received the news that another batch of reinforcements had arrived from the demon race, she immediately ordered all disciples to retreat to the three peaks.
She and Jiang Qiuchun withdrew the barriers from their respective peaks, allowing all disciples to retreat to the peaks.
As for Summer Shadow Peak, the peak of medical cultivation, after Shan Xinci’s death, its barrier naturally broke. Without the barrier, Summer Shadow Peak, apart from its high elevation in the sky, had no other advantage.
Just as Ye Bingfeng was about to instruct the disciples of Summer Shadow Peak to divide the medical cultivators into two groups, one to Spring Water Peak and the other to Winter Snow Peak, Shan Lei stepped forward, holding Shan Xinci’s magic artifact, and re-established the barrier for Summer Shadow Peak.
Ye Bingfeng was somewhat surprised by Shan Lei’s rapid progress in cultivation, but it was not the time to discuss such matters. Since Summer Shadow Peak had a leader, she would first attend to her Winter Snow Peak.
Disciples from various caves received their peak master’s orders and hastily withdrew from the battlefield, heading towards the three peaks.
As for the ‘demons’ driving the Mutated Beasts, upon discovering these people were attempting to flee, they immediately switched to flying Mutated Beasts and pounced on the disciples who were leaving on their swords.
Blood mist filled the sky for a time, and rain mixed with blood dripped into the Goose Head River.
Unlike the unabated rain within Mystic Crane Mountain, the rain in Longyin Town had gradually stopped.
Despite the cessation of the rain, the sky remained gloomy, and the low-hanging dark clouds showed no signs of dispersing.
Gu Jiangxue’s expression was as solemn as the sky, and her demeanor did not lighten even after the Mutated Beasts retreated.
Because she knew that the mere retreat of the Mutated Beasts did not mean the crisis was over. As long as these Mutated Beasts existed, the sword hanging over Longyin Town would remain. She didn’t know at what moment it would fall.
Gu Hongjue, standing beside her, was waiting for her decision.
After the Mutated Beasts retreated and the rain stopped, many people who had taken refuge in the Gu family were clamoring to return home.
Although they could be dissuaded earlier due to the heavy rain, this reason was no longer valid. Gu Hongjue also had another concern.
Although the Gu family was a large and prosperous family, their household provisions were not enough to support so many people. It was fine for a day or two, but it would be difficult to sustain them for a week or half a month.
Gu Jiangxue naturally understood Gu Hongjue’s concerns. She had been worried that there might still be stray Mutated Beasts. If they let these unarmed ordinary people out now, there was a high probability of something happening.
She had already sent disciples to investigate. At least in the vicinity, in the eastern part of the city, there were no Mutated Beasts in sight.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded. “Let them wait a little longer, until Jingyang comes to retract the barrier.”
Gu Jingyang was in the secret chamber discussing the current situation with Lan Fushang. She needed to go to Mystic Crane Mountain.
Upon hearing this, Lan Fushang’s face showed worry. She wanted to go with her, but she knew that her presence would not be of much help. On the contrary, if she could find a way to control the Mutated Beasts here, that would be the greatest contribution to the current situation.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lan Fushang made her decision. “I will stay here to study these Mutated Beasts. You must be careful, and if anything happens, inform me immediately!”
Lan Fushang’s eyes were filled with concern.
Gu Jingyang’s heart stirred slightly. She couldn’t quite bear those worried eyes. She turned her head to look at the three Mutated Beasts on the ground.
Besides the one caught by Shi Qingqian, she had encountered and captured two more stray Mutated Beasts.
She was also a little worried. “Can you manage alone?”
Lan Fushang tried her best to appear credible. She extended her hand, and a beam of spiritual light emanated from her palm. She struck the head of a bound Mutated Beast.
With a ‘clang,’ the Mutated Beast, which had been holding its head up and struggling, instantly drooped its head.
“Don’t worry. While it might be difficult for me to deal with a lively Mutated Beast, I am capable of handling these already bound ones.”
As if to prove her words, she knocked out the remaining two Mutated Beasts, one in each hand.
Gu Jingyang’s temple twitched. She stopped Lan Fushang, who was about to wake the Mutated Beasts and repeat the process to prove herself.
“Alright, then you stay here, and be sure to inform me if anything happens.”
Lan Fushang nodded and once again cautioned Gu Jingyang to be extremely careful.
After leaving the secret chamber, Gu Jingyang went to see Gu Jiangxue. Upon hearing about the residents within the barrier wanting to go home, she thought for a moment and retracted the barrier.
“Father, go and tell them. Those who want to go home can go now,” Gu Jingyang said to Gu Hongjue.
Gu Hongjue saw that Gu Jiangxue had also nodded and did not delay. He went inside to announce the matter.
After he left, Gu Jingyang told Gu Jiangxue that she was going to Mystic Crane Mountain.
Gu Jiangxue nodded without saying much. “You go first. I’ll come find you after I finish handling things here.”
“Alright, then I’ll be going. Tell my father,” Gu Jingyang said, and without further delay, she immediately rode her sword towards Mystic Crane Mountain.
When Gu Hongjue came out, Gu Jingyang was nowhere to be seen.
Hearing Gu Jiangxue say that Gu Jingyang had returned to Mystic Crane Mountain to provide support, Gu Hongjue became extremely worried. “Why didn’t you stop her? Those Mutated Beasts have all gone to Mystic Crane Mountain. How can Jingyang handle them? No, I have to go to Mystic Crane Mountain too. I can’t rest assured with Jingyang alone.”
As he spoke, he was about to ride his sword into the air, but Gu Jiangxue stopped him. “Don’t go and cause trouble. It will only make Jingyang worry about you. You stay and guard the Gu family and don’t let Jingyang worry.”
Gu Hongjue was forcefully stopped, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew Gu Jiangxue was right. His current abilities were completely insufficient to protect Jingyang, but this situation was truly dangerous.
He was afraid he would never see Jingyang again.
He wasn’t trying to stop Jingyang from going. It was like many times before when Gu Jiangxue went out to fight demons, facing grave danger, and often barely escaping with her life. He knew he shouldn’t, and he couldn’t stop Gu Jiangxue.
Therefore, every time he saw Gu Jiangxue off, he treated it as the last meeting, saying as much as he could in his heart.
This way, even if an accident occurred, they would know that they cared about each other, and there would be less regret.
He hadn’t seen Jingyang in five years, and there were many things they hadn’t had time to say.
If something were to happen to Jingyang this time…
Gu Hongjue’s eyes turned red, and he looked at Gu Jiangxue, his voice choked with sobs. “I haven’t told her yet that I’m proud of her.”
In just a few years, she had made such great progress. One of his past regrets was not seeing Jingyang’s spirit technique transform into a dragon during her competition with Shi Qingqian.
Now, he had witnessed it with his own eyes, seen the power of the spirit technique transforming into a dragon, and seen how powerful and dazzling Jingyang had become.
But he still hadn’t had time to tell Jingyang that he was proud of her.
Gu Jiangxue patted Gu Hongjue’s slumped shoulders, looking in the direction of Mystic Crane Mountain. Her gaze was as resolute as ever, but upon closer inspection, one could see the tenderness and pride in her eyes.
“Jingyang knows. Don’t worry, she’ll definitely come back. She hasn’t even told us about any interesting things that happened at Mystic Crane Mountain these past few years.”
Hearing Gu Jiangxue say this, Gu Hongjue’s eyes gradually became moist. Yes, this child Jingyang must have a lot to say to them after being apart for so many years.
She would definitely return safely.
“All the gods in the heavens, please protect our Jingyang,” Gu Hongjue didn’t know which god to pray to, so he ended up invoking all the gods he could name.
Gu Jingyang, who was riding her sword rapidly towards Mystic Crane Mountain, naturally knew that her departure would worry Gu Hongjue. She left without bidding farewell to Gu Hongjue, not only because of her worry for Mystic Crane Mountain, but also for another reason.
She was afraid that seeing Gu Hongjue’s reluctance would make her hesitate. She also knew that going to Mystic Crane Mountain now was likely to be a near-death experience.
She lowered her head and looked at the devastated and scarred Longyin Town along the way. It was no longer a situation where they could survive by hiding in one place. If they couldn’t unite and eliminate those Mutated Beasts together, then this crisis could strike at any moment.
And the main culprit who caused all of this, Saint Venerable Dao Rong, who had lost all basic humanity, if his true face wasn’t exposed and he wasn’t jointly executed, there would be no peace in the world.
Gu Jingyang calmed her mind. This time, she would risk her life to thwart Saint Venerable Dao Rong’s schemes.
She mobilized her spiritual energy and advanced rapidly. As soon as she left Longyin Town, she encountered a team of outer disciples heading to Mystic Crane Mountain to provide support.
Among them were Elder Zeng and Apothecary Yang Xia.
Gu Jingyang quickly greeted the two of them. Knowing that they were also going to support Mystic Crane Mountain, her heart was moved.
Time was of the essence, so Gu Jingyang didn’t say much. She moved to the front of the team and led them to rush towards Mystic Crane Mountain on their swords.
Elder Zeng and Apothecary Yang Xia, along with the disguised Apothecary Mu Ling, exchanged a silent glance and said nothing more, proceeding rapidly with the team.
The three of them intended to go to Mystic Crane Mountain to see what was going on with the demon race attacking Mystic Crane Mountain.
Currently, rumors were spreading everywhere, claiming that the Mutated Beasts were created by the demon race, and they were stating it with absolute certainty.
Apothecary Mu Ling knew some things. When Shi Qingqian took her away from Mystic Crane Mountain, she had said that it was all the work of Saint Venerable Dao Rong.
However, Shi Qingqian hadn’t explained why.
They also wanted to know the specific situation and why everyone was now spreading the word about the demon race causing trouble.
They didn’t want the demon race to bear such a heavy burden. Elder Zeng guessed that those ‘demons’ were probably like the ones outside the barrier of Hongjian Academy before, fake ‘demons.’ If so, they had to go and expose this matter and not let the demons be wrongly accused.
Nor should the true perpetrator of evil be allowed to escape.
The disciples of Mystic Crane Mountain did not know that Saint Venerable Dao Rong, whom they prayed would come to save them from their plight, was the one who created all these disasters.
Above Qiongdian Peak, Saint Venerable Dao Rong’s pursed lips carried a hidden anger.
This backlash from the puppet technique had directly affected all his plans.
If he hadn’t sustained this injury, even if he came out of seclusion early, killing Shi Qingqian would have been as easy as turning his hand.
Now, he could let her live for a few more days.
He crushed the demonic core of the thousand-year-old demon fox in his hand and pressed it into his chest. He intended to use demonic energy to temporarily suppress the backlash of the puppet technique.
If one wasn’t enough, he had two. For others, this extremely rare great demon’s sacrificial demonic core, he had a basketful.
Otherwise, why say that demonic beasts were just demonic beasts? They never had human cunning. They were foolish. Countless demonic beasts had been deceived since ancient times, yet these demonic beasts still didn’t learn.
Saint Venerable Dao Rong looked at the sacrificial demonic core in his hand and thought of the Ten Fiend Ghost Soul and the Demon Lord’s Tear being on that monster. With this ‘all sorts of monsters and ghosts,’ it was complete.
Once he killed Shi Qingqian and obtained the ancient divine power, he would ascend to the ninth heaven to argue why he had waited for nearly ten thousand years without receiving that divine decree.
If he couldn’t become a god, then there should be no gods in this world!
He suddenly waved his hand, and the powder dispersed. A sudden thunderclap echoed above Mystic Crane Mountain, and streaks of lightning snaked downwards, as if the massacre wasn’t tragic enough, adding lightning and thunder to cheer on the battle.
Streaks of lightning illuminated the vast, seemingly endless herds of Mutated Beasts. The ground trembled under their fierce trampling.
The entire Mystic Crane Mountain seemed on the verge of collapse at any moment. The damp air, mixed with the smell of blood, made people feel nauseous.
Even worse, everyone discovered that under the thunder, these terrifying Mutated Beasts seemed to be even more excited. Roars and growls intertwined, echoing the deafening thunder.
Trees blocking the path were uprooted, and bothersome houses were directly trampled into pits.
The flying Mutated Beasts in the air shuttled through the frightening lightning. Their sharp claws flashed with cold light. One moment they excitedly let out a long cry to the sky, and the next, they were as swift as lightning, directly crashing towards the barrier of the three peaks.
The elders blocking the barrier resisted with all their might, but all resistance seemed futile, merely delaying the time until their chests and abdomens were pierced by those sharp claws.
In the midst of the storm, Ye Bingfeng rode her sword to repel a flying Mutated Beast. In a brief pause, she saw below, along the banks of the Goose Head River, the Twelve Caves had become a new ‘living hell.’
Those frenzied Mutated Beasts charged and trampled everything within the caves. The mountains collapsed, stones flew everywhere, and the air was filled with sand and branches. In the pouring rain, fear and despair spread like a plague, instantly engulfing everyone’s hearts.
Not only them, but even Jin Quecong and the other great demons who had just arrived at this ‘hell’ were stunned by the situation. This was completely different from what they had imagined.
Had the Demon Lord gone mad?!
Before they could recover from their shock at the cruel scene before them, as the thunder stopped, the Mutated Beasts immediately pounced on anyone they saw. They didn’t even have time to find the Demon Lord to explain their intentions before they had to fight these Mutated Beasts for their lives.
For a time, the screams echoing in the sky above Mystic Crane Mountain were even louder than the thunder.
“What’s going on? Why are these Mutated Beasts attacking even us?” Jin Quecong endured the piercing pain to pry open the mouth of an Mutated Beast that had bitten her hand. After reattaching her severed hand, she asked the great demon beside her.
How could the great demon know? “Where is the Demon Lord? Perhaps she doesn’t know we’ve arrived?”
The demons thought this guess was reasonable and began searching everywhere for their never-before-seen Demon Lord.
While they were anxiously searching, in the Demon Realm’s Corrupted Corpse Forest, A’Ling was also looking everywhere for someone.
“Shi Qingqian? Where are you?” A’Ling shouted at the top of her lungs, “Come out quickly!”
“I’m warning you, don’t play these kinds of jokes at a time like this, or I’ll rip out your demon soul!”
A’Ling pretended to tighten her grip on the Demon Soul Master Seal and shouted, half coaxing and half threatening.
Hearing only her own voice echoing in the wind, A’Ling’s heart sank by more than half. She had gone this far, and Shi Qingqian still hadn’t responded…
This was troublesome. It meant Shi Qingqian wasn’t deliberately hiding, so something must have happened to her.
A’Ling recalled how everything had happened. After Shi Qingqian gave her the Demon Soul Master Seal, she couldn’t bear the feeling of her heart beating erratically and asked Shi Qingqian to take her out of the Heart Mansion.
Back in the dark void, A’Ling’s palpitations intensified in the darkness. To prevent herself from doing anything uncontrollable in this state, she maintained the last shred of reason and asked Shi Qingqian to take her out of the void and quickly go to the Corrupted Corpse Forest to handle important matters.
As a result, the moment she stepped out of the void, A’Ling sensed that something was wrong. The person in her arms was gone.
She had been holding Shi Qingqian’s hand tightly before leaving the void, but upon exiting, her hand was empty, with only the lingering warmth of their clasped hands reminding A’Ling that their hands had been tightly clasped the moment before.
A’Ling loosely clenched her hands. From the moment she discovered Shi Qingqian was missing, she had searched everywhere. The Corrupted Corpse Forest was unusually quiet. Not only the Corrupted Corpse Forest, but A’Ling felt that the entire Demon Realm was eerily quiet.
What was going on? A’Ling was panicking, but she could only force herself to calm down.
This matter was clearly not simple. She looked at the stone staircase that had appeared before her eyes the moment she entered the Corrupted Corpse Forest from the void, her brow furrowed into a knot.
She tried again to pretend not to see it and turned to leave to the side. However, the result was the same. After taking four or five steps, the stone staircase reappeared before her.
A’Ling took a deep breath and looked around again. The corpse qi drifted, the trees were withered and bare. As far as her eyes could see, there was no sign of the person she was hoping to see.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at the stone staircase that had moved to her feet. She exhaled the breath she had just inhaled heavily. Could it be Shi Qingqian?
A’Ling’s eyes lit up. Shi Qingqian was so powerful, and she was the new Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. How could something happen to her in the Demon Realm? Perhaps it was another of her surprises?
The more she thought about it, the more this guess seemed plausible. A’Ling stomped on the suddenly appearing steps and angrily cursed, “Don’t let it be you! If it’s you, I’ll really pry open your skull and poke seventeen or eighteen holes in your brain!!!”
A’Ling looked at the black hole that suddenly appeared at the end of the steps and said hatefully. If Shi Qingqian had really caused all this, she would definitely keep her word. Upon returning, she would ask Fushang if there was a way to pry open someone’s skull without killing them!
She took a deep breath, summoned Little Wandering, and held it in her hand. Although she hoped it was Shi Qingqian in her heart, logically, A’Ling didn’t believe Shi Qingqian would joke around so carelessly.
Although when Shi Qingqian inscribed her name on her demon soul, she had also called her crazy and was startled, this fright was different from the situation that made her feel a hint of fear.
As A’Ling walked down, she prayed. Regardless of whether this was arranged by Shi Qingqian or not, she only hoped that Shi Qingqian would appear soon.
If she couldn’t find her, she was truly, very flustered.
As A’Ling walked down slowly, about to enter the pitch-black cave entrance whose interior was unknown, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She looked to the side. Why did she seem to feel Shi Qingqian’s aura?
She scanned around, but there was still nothing. A’Ling was disappointed and no longer delayed. She slightly bowed and walked into the dark cave along the stone steps.
The moment A’Ling stepped into this unknown cave, Shi Qingqian suddenly clenched her hand hanging by her side. She had just felt a strong palpitation, and she felt that A’Ling should be nearby.
There must be an extremely powerful illusionary technique here that caused them to be in the same place but unable to see each other.
Shi Qingqian released her demonic energy, causing the surrounding air to vibrate. It was another futile attempt. She still couldn’t break through this strange illusionary technique.
“A’Ling!”
Shi Qingqian called out the name in her heart. Her tone was low and deep, carrying an undeniable anger. Her thoughts raced as she guessed who was playing this trick under her nose!
If she didn’t know that Dao Rong was unable to leave Qiongdian Peak due to the backlash of the puppet technique, she would have suspected that person.
Besides him, Shi Qingqian had no other candidate in her mind.
This made her fear even greater. The other party could separate them from the void out of thin air and prevent them from finding each other.
With such profound cultivation, it was unknown whether they were friend or foe, and the other party was in the dark while they were in the light.
This kind of uncontrolled situation was too passive. Shi Qingqian’s heart rippled again. She mobilized the demonic energy all over her body and this time, she did not hold back at all. Like a giant storm, it rushed in all directions.
For a moment, the entire Corrupted Corpse Forest vibrated. The demons hidden in the shadows were all forced out from the shadows by this awe-inspiring pressure and prostrated themselves on the ground.
“De… Demon Lord!”
These lowest-level demons had always crawled in the darkness of the Corrupted Corpse Forest. They had never even seen a great demon of the Profound Demon Realm. The moment they saw Shi Qingqian’s demonic energy swirling with dark light, they were all so scared that they trembled.
Jin Siliu was vaguely awakened from the swamp. The moment her blurry vision cleared and she saw Shi Qingqian’s face, her vision flashed with ecstasy.
“Little Master!”
