Chapter 934 Zhao Qing: Let's clean up the Phoenix Girl's mess!?
This night.
Within the forbidden area of the Nangong clan, in the sixth ancestral shrine.
The atmosphere was unusually eerie.
Deep within the underground library.
Zhao Qing, Si He, and Huang Nu examined each of the sea chart jade slips in turn.
Zhao Qing pretended to be Zhuang Han.
Even though there were restrictions in the hall, he did not act too recklessly, examining each jade slip meticulously.
When it came to Huang Nu Si He, the two sat by the table and, using the Nine Luminaries' small-scale isolation seal, examined it as if they were flipping through a scripture... with the same seriousness.
"The Secret Realm of Character Jia... was corrected in the autumn of the third year of the Gregorian calendar."
"Dongyuhai, three ruins, with traces of life, have not been corrected."
"Tianyao Island, Seventy Square Cold Star Sands, the territory of the demon race, was corrected in the spring of the second year of the new calendar."
"Not corrected... Corrected..."
Zhao Qing, after all, was still Zhuang Han on the surface, but he was actually feeling guilty.
While pondering to himself, he exchanged ideas with Xiao Nangong in his Destiny Palace.
Nangong Yao pondered for a moment, then said solemnly in a low voice, "There are probably different divisions of labor here."
"The task that Nangong Qi is in charge of is the least important; it's just collecting the essence and blood of martial artists."
"On the contrary, the cases of Lu Miaoxuan and Qiu Lin are more crucial... and this is the message they brought back."
"For example, Bao Ning Mountain has no spiritual energy and the path to immortality has been severed. This record should be from last year, which is the second year of the new calendar, written by the cultivator Qiu Lin. It has not been checked or corrected."
"And Yunhan Island and Luxiao Bay, the underwater ruins explored by Foundation Establishment cultivators before..."
"It should be written as second-order spiritual energy, with the remains of a cultivator. If Lu Miaoxuan has been to see it, she will record it and eventually gather it here."
“It was recorded in the autumn of the third year, which is now, and it was attributed to Lu Miaoxuan without being corrected.”
Zhao Qing's gaze was deep.
Nod slowly.
I now understand these dictionary entries perfectly.
There are roughly two types.
Not corrected!
Corrected!
The uncorrected nautical charts were brought back to the tribe by Qiu Lin and Lu Miaoxuan for collection and organization.
The corrected nautical charts—obviously, were personally reconstructed and reorganized by a dedicated monk before being recorded here, with exceptionally detailed content!
however.
Who exactly went to correct it? When searching for the Soul-Searching Manor, there was not a single related piece of information.
There is another key figure involved!
It might be a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it's most likely a Deity Transformation cultivator, or even higher...
And right now.
The Phoenix Maiden lowered her long, narrow phoenix eyes slightly, waved her hand to help Zhao Qing isolate himself from his senses, and frowned, a rare occurrence for her: "No."
Um... of course not.
Zhao Qing had already figured it out.
He shook his head and chose to whisper to Si He and the Lord of the Tower: "The uncorrected jade slip does not contain much detailed information."
"The place where Master resides, Qianyueze and Qianyue County, the so-called Ranfu, the so-called Liang family, including the Zhenghong Tongbao iron coins used there..."
"These should appear in the corrected jade slips."
“Besides Zhuang Han and Lu Miaoxuan’s entire system that we already know about, there is another, more complete force that is gradually integrating these things in detail.”
As Zhao Qing whispered this, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, but at the same time, he felt a sense of relief.
This is an absolute trap!
Even a cultivator like Lu Miaoxuan, who was merely exploring the Sea Opening, only brought back drafts!
Most of the jade slips here are uncorrected.
Someone else is reviewing and correcting these messages one by one; the corrected jade slips are clearly more detailed...
Upon hearing this, Si He naturally understood the implication.
Even though they couldn't find a single clue about Qingying.
But the Nangong family... is definitely doomed this time!
She gently raised her eyes and looked at the Phoenix Maiden with a question: "The two jade slips in the Southern Sea, could there be any clues there?"
The words fell.
Zhao Qing and Xiao Nangong also began to have their own ideas.
The two jade slips that Nangong Ruoyou just took away... who knows?
however--
The three of them did indeed conduct a thorough investigation and carefully considered and speculated.
But the palace maid sitting indifferently by the jade table, as if flipping through scriptures and jade slips, only uttered a single word, "No."
Then he said nothing more.
They didn't participate in the three people's deliberations at all.
just.
The Phoenix Maiden remained silent.
Zhao Qing, however, couldn't remain silent. As the person in charge on the surface, he took the initiative to suggest, "How about..."
"Shall we go back first?"
“Every seven days, I will come to check and secretly follow them to see who is correcting these jade slips and what stage they have reached.”
His suggestion, without alerting the enemy, was the safest and most prudent option.
Moreover, this trip was extremely fruitful.
By following the clues under the Sixth Ancestral Temple, it is easy to fully understand the current actions and progress of the Nangong family.
can.
The Phoenix Maiden raised her long, narrow phoenix eyes and glanced at a certain spot in the void.
He was clearly getting impatient.
If we peel back the layers bit by bit like this, how long will it take?
although……
Watching Zhao Qing and his group's activities outside, it wasn't too boring after all.
But this is the situation now.
She could barely contain her rage just hearing things like "corrected," "not corrected," "the inspector is someone else," and "they come every seven days."
Qingjun loves to tinker with these things, creating an avatar to wander around and explore at will.
but she……
now.
When Zhao Qing saw the woman's expression turn cold, his heart skipped a beat.
As they looked at Si He, both of them were filled with helplessness and confusion.
My goodness!
What are you going to do?
Can we calm down?
When Zhao Qing saw the Phoenix Pavilion Master's expression, he felt even colder than when he helped Qing Jun outside the Dragon Transformation Pool!
This is... red-temperature!
He's the Lord of Jade Capital and the Phoenix Venerable of the Demon Court, how come he got so worked up after just sorting out this little bit of trouble?
For a while.
The true essence deep within the scripture pavilion seemed to have turned icy cold!
One breath...
Two breaths...
Three breaths...
at last.
After a moment's thought, the Phoenix Maiden's indifferent expression returned to normal, as if she was suppressing something.
She glanced up at Zhao Qing and asked, "Are you confident?"
grasp……
Seeing this, Zhao Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "We're about 70-80% there now. If we proceed steadily and gradually, given time, we'll definitely be able to find my master through the Nangong clan..."
Is that so?
The woman in the palace gauze rarely nodded to Zhao Qing.
Then he turned and stood up, saying, "Let's go."
Tsk——
Zhao Qing and Si He exchanged a secret glance behind each other.
Let's go.
Go home first.
This hideout is right here; it can't run away.
Just as Zhao Qing took out the restrictive jade slip, intending to lead the two back the way they came!
The woman in the palace dress who followed her steps suddenly had a cold expression!
It seems she finally couldn't hold back anymore...
"Jiu Yao."
She spoke first.
Before Si He could even make a move, her slender hand clenched in the air the moment she finished speaking!
Rumble!
All of a sudden!
The void cracked like glass!
The entire perimeter of the Sutra Repository was reduced to ashes in an instant!
The scorching Phoenix Flame True Meaning swept across the sky and all directions!
The heat made Zhao Qing's soul tremble!
Fortunately, Sihe also aligns with the Dao.
The moment the Phoenix Maiden unleashed her immense cultivation, she subconsciously pushed open the Vast Nine Luminaries Seal, completely isolating the entire Sixth Ancestral Shrine!
Zhao Qing saw this.
His sword-like eyes widened instantly, and his pupils, which had been filled with thoughts, suddenly contracted sharply!
His heart, which had been hanging in suspense... finally died.
Turning thievery into outright robbery!?
No matter how much he reflected on it, he never expected that this trip would directly break down Huang Nu's defenses!
What kind of temper is that?
At this very moment, the Nine Luminaries and the Phoenix Flame shook the heavens and the earth.
He didn't even realize it at first!
Even his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously activated the Nine Luminaries Seal to quickly isolate those jade slips!
at the same time!
A thunderous roar of fury echoed throughout the ancestral hall!
"—How dare you!"
A moment!
The towering rifts in the secret realm spread wildly, seemingly threatening to reduce the entire ancestral hall to nothingness!
A figure flickered uncertainly.
The gusts of wind that surged forth with a wave of his hand were like a tornado!
The Sixth Patriarch!
It was the Sixth Patriarch!
Nangong Yao whispered hurriedly, clearly stunned by the sudden turn of events.
But she was just about to speak!
Even with Zhao Qing by his side, they couldn't see the figure approaching at all!
Then I saw...
In a dark world distorted madly by an astonishingly scorching true meaning!
The figure paused for a moment.
He seemed both terrified and bewildered.
It was as if an old ancestor who had been in seclusion at home for many years opened his eyes to find the Jade Capital Pavilion Master standing on his face!
and……
Two Dao-Merging Immortal Lords!
Rumbling--
Just a breath!
A muffled thunderclap, seemingly unbearable, resounded from the depths of the void!
The festering cracks are starting to heal!
That stiff figure... inch by inch, turned into ashes filling the sky!
Let alone a wisp of primordial spirit remaining!
Not even a single hair was left!
The terrifying phoenix essence flowed, scorching Zhao Qing so much that the world in his eyes was completely distorted!
Even standing behind the phoenix, just being slightly affected caused him to choke on a mouthful of blood on the spot!
All the true essence of his own nascent soul was instantly burned away!
His sharp eyes narrowed.
They were stunned to find that the Sixth Patriarch of Nangong, who had just spoken and seemed about to make a move, had vanished without a trace in an instant.
A sense of bewilderment washed over me.
I grass!
I grass!
no--
you--!!!
I? ? ?
Zhao Qing was silent.
Si He also fell silent.
Nangong Yao was even more shocked and bewildered, speechless, and wished she had never been there at all.
This is to...
???
"The bloodline restriction is locked within the Nine Luminaries."
"I will go and retrieve the Heavenly Evolution Diagram."
The phoenix maiden's black hair danced wildly, and her words, which were unpredictable, fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the Nine Luminaries Seal!
Only Zhao Qingsihe remained, gazing at each other in silence, neither of them able to utter a word!
she……
They cremated the Sixth Patriarch on the spot!?
It's right here within the forbidden area of the Nangong clan!?
Zhao Qing is now...
Finally, belatedly realizing what was happening, I was truly shocked; a chill ran down my spine and I felt like jumping up!
Si He's expression shifted between light and dark.
He muttered in a daze, "Once the Sixth Patriarch dies, the bloodline restriction will be exposed, and the Nine Luminaries will be unable to be removed."
In this regard.
Zhao Qing took a deep breath, speechless for a moment: "Even if the restrictions aren't lifted, we'll still be exposed..."
joke.
By replacing Zhuang Han, he was able to conceal his actions and proceed gradually.
But what the hell!
What a great ancient clan, with a bloodline that has been passed down for 40,000 years!
The master of the Sixth Ancestral Temple, a Void Refiner who had dominated the Central Plains for seven thousand years, was cremated on the spot at his home!
How could this not be exposed?!
It's exposed!
Even though the Phoenix Maiden's methods are now all-powerful, and she's working with the Nine Luminaries to block all senses, she hasn't revealed her abilities yet...
What about tomorrow?
What about the day after tomorrow?
Just thinking about it gave Zhao Qing a headache.
He had a vague, eerie intuition...
I originally thought that he and Sihe were causing trouble, and Huang Nu was coming to clean up their mess.
Unexpectedly!
It turned out to be the Phoenix Maiden causing trouble, so he was thrown out to clean up her mess!
And there's so much butt to wipe...
It's not just Zhuang Han, Wang Jinhong, Qiu Lin, Nangong Qi, but a whole host of other potential problems.
And then there was the death of the Sixth Patriarch!
The bloodline restriction of the Sixth Patriarch is locked within the Nine Luminaries!
The Sixth Ancestral Temple was completely burned to ashes!
Without a single spark, it turned to ash on the spot!
Those memorial tablets and steles are all smashed to pieces!
What if someone comes tomorrow?
So Nangong Ruoyou took the jade slip, and when she comes back tomorrow, she'll be faced with a complete mess, and she'll have to pay respects at the Sixth Ancestor's grave, right?
Zhao Qing: ...
He and Si He were speechless. They thought the Phoenix Maiden would come and clean up their mess, but who would have thought that she would make them clean up their mess!
There's no need to even think about it.
Best of all...
In other words, Zhao Qing will remain in prison, playing the role of the Sixth Patriarch, pretending to be a Void Refining Great Power with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.
Even in a less-than-ideal situation... it won't get any worse.
It crashed.
What else can we do...?
……
at the same time.
It is two hundred miles away.
Within the deepest forbidden area of the Nangong clan.
The Thirteen Ancestral Temples are quiet and peaceful.
Among them are not only powerful beings, but also some who have reached the Golden Core stage!
They were all relatives of the previous family head, which meant they were also relatives of Nangong Yao...
After the change of power within the clan, these core members of the bloodline all returned to the ancestral hall to live out their remaining years.
If, hundreds of years from now, the tides turn and the tides change, perhaps this lineage will one day once again take control of the ancient clan...
The moon shines brightly over the courtyard outside the shrine.
The cold wind howled.
A beautiful woman, now a goddess, ascended the high pavilion and gazed at the bright moon in the secret realm, lost in thought.
He held a jade lock in his hand...
He nervously clenched his fist, then slowly released it.
A soft whisper came from behind: "Yao'er is gone, sister."
Hear the words.
The beautiful woman slowly came to her senses, turned around and smiled wistfully: "Well, I just want to go back to Zhongzhou."
Seeing her smile, the woman beside her also gave a bitter smile, then shook her head helplessly: "Let's see how long the lockdown lasts... Let's go together."
The Nangong family of today.
Under the control of the three ancestral halls, the situation overseas is completely different from that in the Central Plains, showing no regard for kinship whatsoever...
Moreover, their lineage's patriarch, who was clearly a Dao-Merging Immortal Lord, remained completely silent on this matter...
For the former mistress of the household.
What this situation means is quite obvious.
...The capital city is about to change.
only.
She possessed weak cultivation and was a frail woman, yet all she wanted was to return to Zhongzhou...
Go back to San Francisco...
The Nangong clan, far from this overseas territory.
however.
Right behind these two Nascent Soul stage women...
That Moon Court is located deep within the solemn ancestral temple.
in the dark.
A deathly silence reigned; even the night breeze and whispers from outside seemed distorted upon reaching this place, an utter stillness prevailed…
The sound of an old man's cough echoed.
His eyes were cloudy, as if a lamp had run out of oil, and his steps were somewhat slow...
But now.
However, his thick, white eyebrows trembled slightly.
A glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes... He gazed into the distance, two hundred miles away, in the direction of the six shrines.
This immortal lord has roamed the Jade Capital for over ten thousand years.
Finally, they captured the Daoist energy that had briefly manifested in this world.
With a glance upwards, it was as if he were piercing through the void, observing the movements of the Sixth Ancestral Temple...
But it was only for a moment.
The old man's piercing gaze then returned to its cloudy state.
Is everything as usual?
"Pity……"
"Who's here again...?"
"Come on...come on..."
……
