Chapter 281 The Current Situation of Qingqiu
Chapter 281 The Current Situation of Qingqiu
"Even the Void Bracelet can't track it?"
"I was careless..." Qin Baiqing glanced at the place where the man disappeared and said disappointedly: "If I had known that the bracelet was useless, I should have placed a locator on him in advance."
"Young Master, the bracelet can hear."
Qin Baiqing simply ignored the Void Bracelet's accusation.
She checked for traces of the man's attack, trying to find the direction in which he disappeared, but there was only some residual spiritual energy left at the place, and she could not trace how the man left.
No wonder he was able to kill so many monks without being beaten up. It seems that he relied on this elusive skill.
The fight lasted only a short moment, and no one in the sect noticed anything unusual. Xingzhi looked up by chance, her brows furrowed, and she was surprised to find that Xiao Xingyun had finally come out for some reason. She showed a rare impatience and hurried towards the direction of the disciples in the back mountain where they were in seclusion.
"I'm late." He said firmly when he saw Qin Baiqing here alone.
"It's okay. I'm glad you came. Otherwise, I would have to look for you." She waved her hands, looking very happy. "Can you please figure out how to find that person? I think he's not a simple person."
He nodded "OK" and raised his hand to collect the remaining spiritual energy from the surrounding attackers.
In Qin Baiqing's eyes, he could only see the spiritual energy being drawn to his palm, and then attached to the star map, moving back and forth indistinctly, and it was impossible to discern the true intention.
Only in Xiao Xingyun's eyes, he saw a clear thread. Nothing could escape the heaven's way, pointing far away...
"Do you know Duan Yao and Tongbo Zong?" Xiao Xingyun paused and asked for no reason.
"I just found out, what's wrong?"
"The spiritual energy fled in the direction of Tongbo Sect. You can go and look for it."
"Sure enough, they are all related to each other!" Qin Baiqing clapped his hands excitedly and said eagerly, "Look, I will catch them all in one fell swoop!"
In his excitement, he almost forgot about Du Huizhou and was about to fly away, but was pulled back by Xiao Xingyun.
"The robbery cloud appears, he is about to come out."
The sky above Xinghai Sect had been covered by dark clouds at some point in time. From time to time, terrifying purple lightning could be seen through the thick clouds. The calamity clouds were so deep that it was hard to see what kind of destructive energy was hidden within them.
Gradually they gathered above Du Huizhou.
Now is the most dangerous time. Qin Baiqing is fully aware of its importance. She also knows that she cannot prevent the mysterious man from suddenly appearing. She can only be cautious and try her best to take care of all positions around Du Huizhou to protect him from the tribulation.
She was on alert with force, and Xiao Xingyun was not idle either. He was concentrating on observing the sky. His serious expression seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and see the flickering stars.
The calamity clouds grew thicker and thicker, covering the Xinghai Sect's territory with a night-like sky.
Everyone knew that someone was going through a tribulation, so they all stayed indoors. Only those with a similarly critical level of cultivation could hurriedly leave Xinghai Sect and stand at a distance to watch the tribulation, trying to comprehend an opportunity for advancement, or simply watch the shock of the tribulation.
After a great leap forward, there will be a world of difference between the two.
The noise was so loud that even the medicine spirit that was afraid of thunder and lightning came out trembling, revealing its true form and standing on Qin Baiqing's shoulder, using its warm spiritual power to protect the entire Xinghai Sect.
Purple thunder rolled. Du Huizhou was extremely talented, and even the thunder of calamity was particularly "favored" by him. He had one last purple-gold thunder compared to others, which completely knocked the already shaky and weak Du Huizhou unconscious. He managed to hold on to the end by relying on his physical body.
"hiss……"
"It doesn't matter if I don't have the blessing of heaven, even though I will get a lot in return afterwards." Yukie sucked in a breath of cold air and covered her eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.
"It's basically successful." "Well, the tribulation is going smoothly, and the tribulation clouds are about to dissipate." Xiao Xingyun also retracted his gaze, as if he didn't see the dying Du Huizhou, and said to Qin Baiqing in a relaxed manner: "You can set off."
Everything was going well in the sect, so Qin Baiqing left with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Xingzhi remembered something and said in a low voice, "The direction of Tongbo Sect is close to the territory of the demon tribe. You can go to Qingqiu to have a look. There is only the young master of the fox tribe left there. You have a good relationship with him...you should go and visit him."
There was considerable fear in his words.
In the past, when Xingzhi mentioned Li Jiuxing, she had never shown such a solemn expression.
Qin Baiqing also became much more serious. Zhuangzhong nodded to take on this important task and headed straight towards Qingqiu, not daring to be careless.
On the way, she tried to contact Feng Budu again and told him that she was going to Qingqiu to meet Li Jiuxing, so that he would not get lost when he wanted to find her in the future.
But there was still no response. The message was clearly sent out but no one responded. It was obvious that the person on the other end was deliberately not replying.
"Too much! Mother said that if I don't reply after reading the message, I'll be dead!" She was so angry that her teeth were itching. As she continued to fly to Xinghai Sect, the light from her back was filled with resentment.
A hundred years have passed, and the signs of human beings appearing in the demon clan’s territory have gradually increased.
There were even cities where humans gathered at the edge of the city. Qin Baiqing had a gloomy face, and with resentment towards Feng Budu, he directed his anger at everyone equally: "Tell me, is Qingqiu still in its original location? What's the situation in Qingqiu now?"
"Qing, Qingqiu... we can't go there now!"
The man was originally frightened by Qin Baiqing, but when he heard the word Qingqiu, he immediately shook his head and said in horror: "The new head of Qingqiu is very scary, his methods are cruel and his mind is deep, even deeper than the original Fox Emperor. The current Qingqiu is not a good place to go!"
"Impossible, you're lying," Qin Baiqing became even more angry and retorted, "He is not the bad guy you say he is."
"Don't disbelieve me. Go a little deeper and you'll know for yourself. See if the beasts on earth dare to approach Qingqiu now. Even the monsters are afraid of him!"
Qin Baiqing refused to believe it no matter what.
But after seeing with his own eyes that the small animals on the edge of Qingqiu were afraid to approach, he finally recognized the reality. After being stunned for a moment, he said in disbelief: "Li Jiuxing might... be possessed by another body, which is why he is like this."
Someone must have taken over Li Jiuxing's body, which is why Qingqiu is so quiet and depressing, with a lingering atmosphere of sadness. The foxes coming and going seem to be much more cautious than before, and no longer easily approach the depths of Qingqiu where the master of the house roams.
It seems to be still stuck in the day of the war.
The first acquaintance I met was Li Yuqi.
"Alive again..."
Qin Baiqing felt extremely sad and took a step back to avoid Li Yuqi's enthusiastic greeting.
His expression was gloomy for a moment, then he pursed his lips and smiled harmlessly, and asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you take so long to come to Qingqiu as a guest?"
There are subtle differences in his speech and behavior compared to when the Fox Emperor was alive.
Was it because the person behind the scenes had changed? She suddenly didn't want to go in anymore, and turned around to leave Qingqiu, thankful that Li Yuqi didn't stop her.
But soon, a familiar yet somewhat strange breath came from deeper inside. The breath came closer and closer, and before Qin Baiqing could react, it rushed in front of her and blocked her way.
"You haven't seen me yet. Why are you leaving?" Li Jiuxing approached step by step with red eyes.
