The easternmost side of Shanghua Island Group.
On an unnamed island.
A lot of gravel washed up by the waves has spread a thin layer on one side of the unnamed island and reef.
The sun rose and set, and soon another day and night fell. Several ships passed by this unknown island and reef, raising a wave of waves that hit the shoal of the island and reef, rolling a piece of gravel into the sea water. At this time, One of the gravels suddenly froze in mid-air, and then emitted a black light.
The black light quickly collapsed towards the inside, revealing Gu Qing's figure. His consciousness quickly explored the surrounding area for dozens of miles, and the gap was as high as that of the nearby monks. The one with the highest cultivation level had only withdrawn his consciousness after the fourth level of Qi refining. Standing with his hands behind his hands, he looked at the vast sea and pondered.
'We need to go find Lin Tingxue and Yu Zhengyang...'
'According to some of the memories obtained after fusing the inner demon seed, there seems to be some kind of power change within the Five Elements Sect. For example, disciples like Yu Zhengyang who were walking outside were forcibly recalled... It seems that Yu Zhengyang really has a lot of power. It is possible that he returned to the Five Elements Sect, but I don't know if Lin Tingxue returned to the Five Elements Sect with him. '
'If you want to go back to Datan Island to explore again, you must have a spiritual weapon that can cover your aura and appearance. Hmm... among the few remaining spiritual weapons, there is a high-grade spiritual weapon that can be used to hide your aura and appearance. '
Gu Qing pondered for a long time, his body as motionless as a rock.
The cold sea breeze stirred up his long dark hair tied behind his head and blew his robes loudly.
The cold seawater flowed around his feet, wetting his robes and brushing against his ankles. He lowered his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and he noticed something. He turned and looked to one side, where a ship was slowly approaching.
This is a small boat with bright lights.
There were many graceful women holding painting fans on the deck. Some were chasing each other with cute smiles, while others were leaning on the railing and looking at the sea. One of the women who was leaning on the railing and looking at the sea saw Gu Qing from a distance. She was as weak and helpless as a cat. Bones was stunned and waved to him.
Gu Qing's eyes fell on the woman for a moment, then he looked beyond the boat and looked farther away, towards an imperceptible light spot in the distant sky.
'A monk at the first level of Foundation Establishment? He seemed to be heading for this boat, but the strongest person on the boat was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining. How could he attract a first-level Foundation Establishment monk to take action? Gu Qing's mind was spinning.
The light spot moved from far to near. At first it was still vague and undetectable, but suddenly it was as eye-catching as a bright sun, drawing a thin line in the sky, and suddenly bursting through the sky!
The light spot turned into a bright streak, cutting off the howling wind, and hit the boat head-on, as if it was about to smash the boat into pieces, but the boat buzzed at this moment, A dim light shield above it lit up, sheltering it beneath it.
The light spot hit the dim barrier and was unable to shake it at all. Instead, it was bounced dozens of feet away. However, the huge force it carried still caused the surrounding seawater to dent. It fell down and suddenly stirred up huge waves that swept around.
boom!
For a time, countless ships in the nearby sea were smashed to pieces by the huge waves that rushed in. Waves of exclamations, cries, and screams merged into one in an instant. In the next moment, there were several escapes. Photons rose from Taihua Island and headed straight for this direction.
"Which fellow Taoist is fighting here?"
A loud shout sounded.
Three rays of light came to the vicinity one after another, revealing the figures of three foundation-building monks. The first one was bald and tall with white eyebrows. His cultivation level was at the fourth level of foundation-building. His eyes were like lightning. He glanced at the boat below, and then looked at The person who was attacking the boat was bounced away by the light mask lit up by the boat.
The first-level Foundation Establishment monk who was ejected had a sallow complexion and dull eyes. He was only wearing a shabby green dress and part of his chest was exposed.
The cultivator cupped his fist at the bald and white-browed monk and said, "It turns out he is Taoist Mu from Taihua Sect!"
immediately.
This cultivator seemed to be full of resentment, pointing at the painting boat that was protected by a layer of light. His eyes, with murderous intent and hidden evil desires, swept across the group of graceful women shivering on the deck of the painting boat.
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows.
He noticed that the graceful and trembling women on the boat actually showed their big snow-white tails out of fear. Some of them were so frightened that they fell softly to the ground and turned into human beings. There are only little foxes with pink or white fur.
'A boatload of demon foxes? He's also a demon fox with a strong ability to transform...'
Gu Qing had originally planned to turn around and leave, but after realizing this, the figure that he had just turned around turned back again.
He just stood on the shoal of the island with his hands behind his hands and watched the show.
The monk in green with a sallow complexion pointed to the back of the boat and continued: "These fox demons conspired to kill Que's only son who was raised in the clan. Que wanted to capture all of them back to the clan, so Ling Chi executed them and asked Mu Dao Don't try to stop me, you will hurt the relationship between my Que family and the Taihua Sect."
Since this cultivator was not talking to the bald and white-browed monk through sound transmission, but spoke in a deep voice, what he said was also heard by the fox demons on the boat, and they suddenly started to chirp and make a noise.
"You human monk, don't talk nonsense!"
"Did our sisters ever kill anyone from your Que family? It was clearly your Que family who oppressed our sisters on Qingkong Island before!"
"Yes, yes, this human dog monk is sanctimonious and full of nonsense. He is just spouting shit and confusing right and wrong!"
"..."
The fox demons were scolding each other more and more happily.
When the monk from the Que family heard these curses, his face turned blue, his expression became colder, and the evil thoughts in his eyes became even more uncontrollable.
The monk with a bald head and white eyebrows glanced at the boat with an expressionless expression, and frowned: "The fox monster on this boat, if Mu is right, should come from the Moon Fox clan of the Zimen Gorge fox group, right? The foxes of Zimen Gorge Qun, I am also under the command of Venerable Zuo Linyu of the Linyu Sea Region. This Taoist friend of the Que family is serious about avenging his son, and he should also try to bring justice to the grievances, and don’t vent his anger..."
"At present, the competition between the islands in Linyu Sea Area has just ended. Our Taihua Sect does not want the indiscriminate killing of innocent people in the waters under our control to spread to the Zuo family, which will completely disgrace our Taihua Sect. Therefore, the Que family This fellow Taoist, please stop making trouble near my Taihua Island, okay?"
The monk with a bald head and white eyebrows, after saying kind words to the Que family monk, sent a message to the monks on the left and right, instructing the monks on the left and right to greet the Taihua Sect disciples who had fled after hearing the news, and led them With these Taihua Sect disciples, they rescued ordinary people who fell into the water everywhere.
"Hmph!" The Que family monk's expression was a little gloomy. He stared at the bald and white-browed monk for a long time and snorted coldly.
Then, he flicked his sleeves and robe and dodged to the front of the boat.
The Que family monk stood in the air, his gloomy and cold eyes slowly swept across the fox demons on the deck. The fox demons who had just become proud of the bald and white-browed monk's words seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water. On the head, it was like eggplants beaten by frost, all wilted.
"Hurry and hand over the murderer who killed my son, Que will leave on his own, otherwise..." The monk from the Que family narrowed his eyes and threatened.
"We, the Moon Fox clan, have never killed this fellow Taoist's child, so how can we hand over the murderer?" A plump fox demon in the shape of a beautiful woman, supported by two tall fox demons in the shape of a woman, climbed out of the second floor of the cabin. He walked down the stairs step by step, his expression cold.
"Ah!"
The Que family monk greedily glanced at the beautiful woman's body, raised the corner of his mouth, and said: "Who am I? Isn't this the seventh elder of the Yuehu clan? Why is he so weak after not seeing each other for many days? The seventh elder Xu is a cultivator Because of the descent, my ears don’t work anymore. Que didn’t say that it was the Yuehu clan who killed my son. The murderers who killed my son were you traitors of the Yuehu clan!”
"traitor?"
"Why did our sisters become traitors to the Moon Fox clan? You, a human monk..." A beautiful fox demon with a big tail spoke up.
The plump and beautiful woman waved her hand to stop the beautiful fox demon from speaking, and looked at the Que family monk thoughtfully.
She was not surprised that several elders in the clan who had always been at odds with her took advantage of her declining strength to label her clan as traitors. However, the Que family and Yuehu clan on Qingkong Island had always been There was a lot of correspondence, so it was normal for him to be the first to know the news.
She sighed secretly in her heart, closed her eyes, calmed down her mind, opened her eyes indifferently, and her consciousness spoke, and the sound resounded throughout the surrounding sea.
"Rather than being a murderer, Fellow Daoist Que is taking advantage of others' danger to force us to commit ourselves to your clan! Haha, aren't you and other human monks known to be the most reasonable? My clan did not kill Fellow Daoist Que's children. This matter can be proven by many fellow Taoists on Qingkong Island that day!”
"I am Ye Xin, the seventh elder of the Moon Fox Clan. If any Taoist friend is willing to accompany us to return to Qingkong Island and find the Taoist friend on the island to confirm it, Ye Xin is willing to give me a fifth-grade spiritual material, the Holy Yin Stone, as a reward! "
This fox demon who looks like a plump and beautiful woman is Ye Xin. As soon as she said these words, the nearby monks immediately became commotion.
"Fifth grade spiritual material? Holy Yin Stone?"
"Holy Yin Stone! What kind of spiritual material is this..."
The nearby Qi Refining monks were talking a lot, and soon they gathered around in a circle, but no one came forward, just watching the excitement from a distance.
After hearing this, the three foundation-building monks of Taihua Sect all had burning eyes. Among them, the monk with bald head and white eyebrows flashed his eyes and came to the front of the painting boat to look at Ye Xin.
"Can what Fellow Taoist Ye Xin said be taken seriously? Can we take out the Holy Yin Stone for Mu to see?" The monk with a bald head and white eyebrows asked.
"...of course you can."
Ye Xin nodded and took off the red rope pendant tied around her neck. Then a spiritual light lit up on her fingertips, illuminating the jade pendant. She could clearly see that there was a black round shape inside the light cyan, palm-sized pendant. Ye Xin pressed a finger on the small stone and let the spiritual light sink into it.
Uh-huh!
A cloud of gray yin energy escaped and filled the surroundings, making the surrounding area become cold at an extremely fast speed. A large number of ice crystals condensed in the seawater around the boat, and the graceful figures on the deck disappeared one after another. The foxes that transformed into the whole boat, including the two tall female-looking fox demons supporting Ye Xin, also showed their prototypes.
Only Ye Xin remained unchanged, trapped in the gray and gloomy air.
She retracted her slender fingers, holding the light cyan pendant in her hand, and asked the monk with bald head and white eyebrows: "Can you see clearly, fellow Taoist Mu?"
"It is indeed a fifth-grade spiritual material, the Holy Yin Stone..."
The monk with the bald head and white eyebrows was breathing slightly quickly.
'It is rumored that this holy Yin Stone is formed by the condensation of death energy after the physical body has been sanctified and cultivated after death. It only needs to be stimulated by spiritual power to produce a large amount of Yin energy, which is almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible... '
'This kind of Yin Qi is extremely wonderful. In terms of grade, it is only slightly inferior to the Yin Qi of Huangquan. It can be used to practice many special techniques, and it has been condensed in the Holy Yin Stone before it is stimulated by spiritual power. After countless times, the texture has reached an extremely pure level. If it is used for practice, it does not need to be condensed again, and it can be as effective as the underworld's Yin Qi! "
'In addition, this Holy Yin Stone is a fifth-grade spiritual material that can be used to refine many special top-grade spiritual weapons and even magic weapons...'
"Mu is willing to take a trip to Taoist monk Jiye." The monk with bald head and white eyebrows nodded and said with a smile on his face.
Then he glanced at the Que family monks beside him and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Ye Xin is willing to return to Qingkong Island and prove his innocence. I wonder what Taoist friend Que thinks?"
The Que family monk's gaze was originally fixed on the light cyan pendant in Ye Xin's hand. Hearing this, he turned to look at the monk with white eyebrows, and his expression became extremely unhappy: "Humph! What can Que do? Since Tai Taoist friend Mu of Huazong has already said this, so Que just obeys."
"Then please ask fellow Taoist Ye Xin to activate the formation and let me wait to board the ship. Since Mu is here, fellow Taoist Ye Xin doesn't have to worry." The monk with a bald head and white eyebrows said with a kind smile.
Ye Xin frowned slightly, her eyes flickering between the bald monk named Mu and the sallow-faced monk from the Que family.
'These two people... are they acting? '
This thought emerged uncontrollably in Ye Xin's mind.
"Hey! Why don't you open the formation even though fellow Taoist Mu is accompanying you? Could it be that you suspect that fellow Taoist Mu and Que are in the same group?" The monk from the Que family sneered and looked at Ye Xin sarcastically.
"Huh?" The monk with a bald head and white eyebrows frowned after hearing this, and his eyes towards Ye Xin became a little unkind.
Ye Xin watched the two people singing in front of the boat. Not only was her surprise not gone, but she felt even more irritated. She glanced at the group of little foxes on the deck and tried to calm down her distracting thoughts.
'At the moment, I can only exert the strength of the Qi refining period, and the formation will not last long. If I resist stubbornly, unless there is a divine weapon descending from the sky, I will definitely die, and I will have to endure countless humiliations before I die...'
'But if you open the formation obediently, I'm afraid you will end up...'
"Huh..." Ye Xin opened her mouth and let out a breath, a hint of determination appeared in her heart. She communicated with the weak inner alchemy in her body, and was about to lead a boatload of little foxes to commit suicide.
"There is only one Holy Yin Stone. What should we do if we get to Qingkong Island?" A clear voice sounded from the side of the boat.
Ye Xin, who was about to self-destruct, the bald and white-browed monks in front of the boat, the Que family monks, and even the Qi Refining monks who were watching all looked to the side of the boat and landed on the black-robed figure.
"Hiss...who are you?" the Que family monk asked.
The black-robed figure turned around and looked at the Que family monk. His body swayed as if the Que family monk had disappeared. Almost at the same time, the Que family monk noticed a slender hand on his shoulder.
Snapped!
Gu Qing slapped the Que family monk on the shoulder, knocking the Que family monk staggering and almost falling from the air.
"I'm passing by Lin Changqing, a casual cultivator, and I've seen this fellow Daoist Que." Gu Qing smiled, nodded to the frightened monk of the Que family, and then looked at the ugly-faced bald and white-browed monk beside him, "I've also seen fellow Taoist Mu... …I heard from Fellow Daoist Que that Fellow Daoist Mu is a monk from Taihua Sect?”
"Ahem, Mu is indeed from the Taihua Sect. He is the fourth elder of the Taihua Sect and has met fellow Taoist Lin Changqing." The monk with the bald head and white eyebrows cupped his fists and said.
“I’ve met fellow Taoist Lin, but I don’t know where he practices…”
The Que family monk was also smiling, holding his fists stiffly and speaking.
He only felt that this person was like a ghost, extremely powerful, and with just one palm, he almost dispersed all his spiritual power. It was really terrifying. He was definitely not a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment, or even a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment. Most likely It's an old monster in the late stage of foundation building, even a fake elixir!
"Let's get on the boat." Gu Qing pointed to the boat in front of him, pulled the monks from the Que family and landed on the deck of the boat.
"This fellow Taoist..."
Ye Xin's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, wanting to say something.
Immediately, she had maintained a cold expressionless state. She could no longer maintain it, her expression changed drastically, and she looked at the scene in front of her in horror - the black-robed monk who suddenly appeared had pressed his palm on the covered boat. On top of the dim light mask, press it continuously and concavely. After a while, the dim light mask shattered!
Snapped!
There was a sound of something breaking in the cabin of the boat.
Ye Xin doesn’t need to see it to know it.
That was the formation disk arranged on the boat, and it was broken.
Then it was shattered, along with her last trace of calmness and composure.
There was deep resentment in Ye Xin's lowered eyes, and the faces of enemies flashed in her heart, about to trigger the inner alchemy to explode again.
"When we said goodbye back then, I never imagined that our goodbyes would be like this." Gu Qing pulled the Que family monks onto the deck, turned to look at Ye Xin, with a slight smile on his face, and said through the message, "Fellow Taoist It turned out to be called Ye Xin, the long night, the silence in my heart. Lin still remembers the scene of Taoist friends on the bow of the spiritual boat, bathing in the moonlight and cultivating elixirs."
"Who are you……"
Ye Xin was stunned for a moment, and stopped herself from detonating again.
Due to the two forcible stops of self-explosion, a spasm-like pain caused her body to bow slightly and she couldn't help but take a half step back.
"Were you the one who forcibly boarded the spirit boat in Longqianjiang River?"
Ye Xin was still concentrating on her inner elixir, ready to self-destruct at any time. She did not move her eyes away at all, staring at Gu Qing's face and sending a message back.
Gu Qing glanced at Ye Xin with a half-smile, then looked away.
He let go of the Que family monk who had a face as stiff as pig liver and a stiff body, then looked at the bald monk with white eyebrows who had not yet boarded the ship, and said loudly: "Fellow Taoist Mu hasn't boarded the ship yet? Could it be that he is waiting for Lin to invite you?" ?”
