As time goes by, the spiritual power of heaven and earth within Chaoyun Sect becomes increasingly thin and thin. The sect, which originally looked like a paradise for immortals, has gradually become desolate, and even cracks have appeared on the earth.
The free spirit of heaven and earth in the air is extracted, which naturally requires the earth veins to release a certain amount of energy to replenish it. However, if the earth veins release too much spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the earth will lose its vitality. If the earth veins are damaged, then the entire area here will turn into a dead land.
Finally, the few remaining supreme elders in Chaoyun Sect realized that if this situation continued, their sect might really be wiped out.
But they didn't dare to let them go out to fight with the enemy. After all, the best among them were in the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm, and two of the Supreme Elders in the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm outside had already died.
"How about... let's do what the female devil said and hand over Zhu Qingyu and his apprentice!" Someone suddenly suggested at this time.
Rather than annihilating the sect, it is naturally more cost-effective to sacrifice individuals to preserve the whole.
"We can't make the decision on this matter. After all, Queen Qingyu is that person's descendant."
"Then what should we do? We can't just wait to die!"
"That's right, Zhu Qingyu did such wicked things, and now he wants me to be buried with him!"
…
A group of supreme elders from Chaoyun Sect gathered together, but Zhu Qingyu was the only one left out. This shows that others have a lot of opinions about him.
Of course, there are also individuals who speak for Zhu Qingyu.
"Don't forget, everyone, you were fully aware of what Her Majesty Qingyu was doing, but you never took action to stop it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
"We'd better ask our ancestor to come out of seclusion. Elder Qingyu is the descendant of our ancestor, and only he is qualified to deal with it." At this time, a young man who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old said.
Of course, this man cannot be a real young man. He maintains the appearance of a young man simply because of the special skills he practices.
This person's name is Xu Qian, and the skill he practices is called "Celestial Silkworm Transformation". Every time his cultivation level breaks through a level, he will be rejuvenated once. It takes a whole year to return to normal. During the rejuvenation period, he loses all his skills and cannot Use a little force.
Not long ago, he had just broken through to the last level of the Xiantian realm, the unity of heaven and man, so he lost all his cultivation. He was the one with the highest cultivation level among all the Supreme Elders of Chaoyun Sect, but at this moment, he was powerless against the enemies outside.
"But my ancestor was locked in a death barrier. He said that you will never get out of the barrier until you break through." Someone said hesitantly.
"Do we have any choice at this time?"
Everyone was silent again.
"I'll ask the ancestor, he will understand." Xu Qian said.
"Then there's Senior Brother Lao Xu."
Others bowed their hands to Xu Qian one after another.
"Leopard!"
Xu Qian's call was heard, and a snow-white leopard-shaped beast appeared in front of everyone. This was actually a White Core realm beast.
Xu Qian climbed onto the white leopard's back unhurriedly, and disappeared in front of everyone while being carried by the white leopard.
Not long after, Bai Bao appeared in front of a mountain peak carrying Xu Qian. He climbed down from Bai Bao's back and said to Bai Bao:
"Bao'er, wait for me here so you don't have to bump into our ancestors."
Bai Bao nodded and found a place to lie down and sleep.
Xu Qian climbed up the long stone steps step by step, and finally came to a cave door.
Because of the long moon, the flowers and plants in the entire Chaoyun Sect were withered at this time, but the mountain seemed not to be affected at all, with lush vegetation and a lively scene.
The inside of the cave was dark, with all kinds of weeds growing around it, and no one came out of it for who knows how long.
"Disciple Xu Qian asks to see our ancestor!"
Xu Qian cupped his hands and bent down, speaking loudly to the cave, but no movement came from inside.
"Disciple Xu Qian asks to see our ancestor!"
Xu Qian shouted again, his voice was childish but full of penetrating power.
Finally, as a breeze blew, a stooped old man appeared in front of Xu Qian. The old man was haggard, his eyes were cloudy, the hair on his head had almost fallen out, and he had no eyebrows at all.
However, even though this old man was very old, his whole body exuded a terrifying aura as deep as the sea.
The old man is Zhu Houcong, the ancestor of the Chaoyun Sect, who is at the peak of the realm of unity between man and nature. He has lived for three thousand years through a special secret method. The purpose is to wait until the world opens, so that he can break through the Lingtai realm and continue to live.
Since the beginning of the world, he has closed his eyes to death and has never left the cave.
"Ancestor!"
Seeing the old man, Xu Qian bent down even lower.
"It's your boy!" Zhu Houcong sighed, but after noticing Xu Qian's state, he said with emotion, "You have reached this point..."
He knew Xu Qian's cultivation techniques. Now that Xu Qian has returned to his old age again, it means that his cultivation level has been further improved, and he may surpass himself in the near future.
It's a pity that this technique requires a boy's body, otherwise he would not want to practice it.
"It's all good teachings from our ancestors." Xu Qian said modestly, "Are there any gains from my ancestors' seclusion?"
Zhu Houcong sighed deeply, "It's not the right time..."
The failure of this breakthrough has reduced the possibility of his future breakthroughs. Now his body is rotten with energy and blood, and he looks almost like a dead person. If he wants to break through in the future, he will probably have a big chance?
"With the talent of our ancestors, we will definitely be able to break through." Xu Qian said respectfully.
"Stop talking, what happened when you called me out today?" Zhu Houcong asked after sighing.
"Chaoyun Sect is really facing a life-and-death crisis, and I have no choice but to ask you to come out..."
Xu Qian told Zhu Houcong everything about what happened to Chaoyun Sect and what Zhu Qingyu did, without adding any exaggeration.
"I understand." After hearing this, Zhu Houcong's face looked a little ugly, "You go ahead, I will solve the matter."
"yes!"
Xu Qian responded respectfully and then retreated.
When Xu Qian left, Zhu Houcong also disappeared in front of the cave. When he appeared again, he had reached the mountain peak where Zhu Qingyu's master and apprentice were.
Zhu Qingyu was looking absently at the dense tree roots above his head. When he saw Zhu Houcong appear, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Ancestor!"
He saluted Zhu Houcong respectfully.
"What are you going to do about the trouble you caused?" Zhu Houcong asked, staring straight at Zhu Qingyu, making Zhu Qingyu's whole body hairy.
"Since our ancestor has left seclusion, why should we be afraid of that yellow-haired girl outside!" Zhu Qingyu said.
Zhu Houcong said angrily: "If I could take action, why would I come here to ask you?"
"Ancestor?" Zhu Qingyu looked at Zhu Houcong in surprise and panic, "How could it be?"
"I failed to break through this time. I have no strength in my cultivation. If I take action, I will definitely die." Zhu Houcong explained expressionlessly, "Do you want the ancestor to die?"
Hearing this, Zhu Qingyu's eyes suddenly flashed with resentment, "So you just want me and Hong Yuan to die?"
"You caused the matter, and you should bear the responsibility." Zhu Houcong said.
At this point, Zhu Qingyu had neither fear nor respect for Zhu Houcong. He sneered and said, "It sounds so nice, but you are just afraid of death. As long as I am here today, you can't even think of taking away Hongyuan."
Zhu Houcong sighed, stretched out his hand to grab Zhu Hongyuan, who was not far away, and was caught in his hand. Zhu Qingyu wanted to stop him, but found that he suddenly couldn't move. After a while, a golden rope slowly appeared on his body. come out.
It turns out that when Zhu Houcong appeared, he had already secretly attacked Zhu Qingyu. The golden rope that tied Zhu Qingyu was a rare treasure prison rope. Once tied by it, it would be difficult to escape.
"Ancestor~Master!"
Caught in Zhu Houcong's hand, Zhu Hongyuan shouted in fear.
Seeing Zhu Hongyuan like this, Zhu Houcong's face was full of contempt, "Is this the offspring of you and that woman? Sure enough, poor bloodline cannot be changed. Even if you steal someone else's flying immortal body, you won't be able to achieve great things!"
"Shut up!" Zhu Qingyu suddenly stared at Zhu Houcong with red eyes, "Who are you to judge us!"
Zhu Houcong didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Qingyu at all. He just stretched out his hand and tapped him a few times, completely sealing his cultivation.
Changyue was trying her best to extract the world's spiritual power from Chaoyun Sect, when she suddenly saw an old man appearing in the sky with two people.
Qi Guanheng's expression suddenly changed when he saw the old man. He flew to Chang Yue and whispered: "He is a warrior in the realm of harmony between man and nature, be careful."
Hearing this, Chang Yue was shocked. She was not sure how to deal with masters in the realm of harmony between man and nature.
Qi Guanheng can be dealt with, but he will not take action for Chang Yue and fight against a warrior of the Harmony of Heaven and Man. Even if he wins, he will pay the price, and the reward Chang Yue gives him is not enough to make him fight desperately.
Just when Chang Yue was wondering whether to use the magical power of space to run away, she heard the old man say: "This girl, Zhu Qingyu and Zhu Hongyuan are here. You can do whatever you want. The grudge between you and the Chaoyun Sect ends here." That’s it.”
Chang Yue glanced at Qi Guanheng, and saw Qi Guanheng nodding towards her imperceptibly, and motioning for her to stop.
If the old man is forced into a panic, no one will get any benefit.
Waves of white mist were seen rising around Changyue, and the next second her huge snake body transformed into half-human and half-snake again.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Houcong sighed: "Young girl is so capable!"
Chang Yue showed no timidity at all on her face, she said coldly: "Send the person out!"
Zhu Houcong didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, a hole appeared in Chaoyun Sect's sect-protecting formation, and Zhu Qingyu and Zhu Hongyuan, who had been sealed, were thrown out.
The moment he was thrown out, Zhu Qingyu looked at Zhu Houcong with resentment in his eyes. Zhu Houcong naturally noticed it, but he could only sigh deeply.
For the sake of the sect and himself, he had no choice.
Two pure silver threads appeared in Changyue's hand, binding Zhu Qingyu and Zhu Hongyuan and hanging them in the air. Then she reached out and made a move, and the Six-Ding Xuanhuo Cauldron burning with raging flames appeared in front of her.
Zhu Qingyu looked at Changyue with pleading eyes, hoping that Changyue could let Zhu Hongyuan go. He could bear all the blame and only hoped that Zhu Hongyuan could live.
Unfortunately, his acupuncture points were sealed and he could not speak. Although Changyue could see his begging, he could not understand the specific meaning.
But even if she understood, she would not show mercy, so the two of them were thrown into the furnace one after the other.
Ah woo~~~
The Suan Ni head in the belly of Liuding Xuanhuo Cauldron suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the two of them in one gulp. The two fell into the sea of fire, and Zhu Hongyuan's shrill screams came from the cauldron.
The Six Ding Xuanhuo Cauldron spun slowly, then turned into a palm-sized shape and fell into Changyue's hand.
After doing all this, Changyue said to his friends: "Let's go!"
Li Xuan was still a little bit unsatisfied when he heard this, and he was enjoying it! However, he also knew that this was not the time to be nostalgic, so his body quickly shrank, and soon he turned into a small sapling and was tucked into Changyue's sleeves.
At the same time, Jin Shuangshuang and Liuhuo were also taken back by Changyue.
"I keep my word. Now that you have handed over Zhu Qingyu and Zhu Hongyuan, our grudges will be wiped out from now on. Goodbye!" Chang Yue said loudly.
She is not cowardly, she just keeps her promise!
"Bah!!!"
The wind and thunder beast neighed, and quickly disappeared from the sight of everyone in the Chaoyun Sect with Chang Yue, Bai Yuanqi and Qi Guanheng.
The female devil left and the crisis in Chaoyun Sect was resolved. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were all a little confused. Since the ancestors had come forward, why did they still let the female devil leave?
Who would have thought that their ancestors would be so bitter in their hearts right now!
After witnessing Chang Yue, who had such advanced cultivation at such a young age, and Qi Guanheng, who also had a promising future, and then looking at his old and decrepit body, Zhu Houcong felt deeply powerless.
At this time, Xu Qian appeared next to Zhu Houcong riding a white leopard, "Ancestor, are you just going to let them go like this?"
"Otherwise?" Zhu Houcong glanced at Xu Qian.
Xu Qian said with a sad face: "Disciple is worried that today's incident will spread throughout the Thirteen Prefectures, and our Chaoyun Sect will become a laughing stock by then.
Besides... the bodies of the sect master and the others are still in the hands of those people, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Seal and Chaoyun Golden Ring that have been passed down by the sect to this day are also..."
Zhu Houcong interrupted Xu Qian and said: "The butt of the joke is the butt of the joke. There will always be times when they can't laugh. As for the Nine Heavens Thunder Seal and Chaoyun Golden Ring... someone will get it back for us in the future."
After saying this, Zhu Houcong slowly flew towards the sect.
"yes!"
Seeing that his ancestor had made his own decision, Xu Qian stopped talking and followed him closely on a white leopard.
Chang Yue and his party rode the Wind and Thunder Beast for a long time, and gradually flew out of the range of Chaoyun Sect.
As soon as he left Chaoyun Sect, Qi Guanheng said goodbye to Chang Yue. He had a world of mortals. As long as he found a nearby city with a black market, he could use the black market to teleport directly back to Jinguan City. He did not need to fly slowly with Chang Yue and the others. go back.
"I'd like to thank Qiguan City Master for a trip this time." Chang Yue said to Qi Guanheng gratefully with her hands in hand.
Qi Guanheng waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, as long as the girl follows the agreement and sends the promised reward to the black market."
"Of course, Lord Qiguan, please rest assured." Changyue nodded in assurance.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, Qi Guanheng flew away from the wind and thunder beast.
As soon as Qi Guanheng left, Li Xuan's spirit body appeared next to Chang Yue. He said excitedly: "Exciting! Today is so exciting!"
