Chapter 913 That's my house... all women...
……
Phoenix Star.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is like a drum.
The mountains are towering and the rivers are surging.
A vast, overwhelming demonic aura filled the sky, and occasionally one could glimpse magnificent celestial corridors and divine palaces.
The cold wind stirred up the smoke and clouds, revealing the vastness and magnificence of the demon race's land.
The Blood-Clad Immortal Boat arrived via ferry from Phoenix Cry Mountain.
Zhang Jin personally piloted the boat to the cliff where the Phoenix Palace was located.
They only stayed at Fengming Mountain for a short while... before being transported here.
Generally speaking, it's very difficult to meet the leaders of each branch.
But in some ways, they are quite common to see.
The original poster is right there.
Anyone who wants to see him can simply go and ask for an audience.
Of course, at least one has the right to walk and can reach the forbidden lands of stars... The rest depends on personal fortune and the poster's mood.
Not long.
Zhao Qing and his group then arrived at that tranquil, towering cliff.
Palaces seemed to be hidden in the void, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Judging from its shape, it is somewhat similar in style to the Wanshenque Temple...
however.
Just as Zhang Jin, with a respectful expression, was about to speak with Zhao Qing, they made their request.
On the fairy boat behind them.
But suddenly, a charming laugh rang out...
"Your Majesty~~"
"Look who's here!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing was immediately taken aback and speechless.
A fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over, and the usually leisurely and composed Demon Lord Lianyin seemed to have instantly transformed into some kind of seductive and shameless vixen.
She landed gracefully on the cliff edge, and swayed her hips as she led the way inside...
Zhao Qing: ...
Zhang Jinyi: ...
this--?
Sister Zhang parted her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Gu Qinghuan and Whale Girl followed together, while Si He and Ding Qian lagged two steps behind.
"I came by myself last time..."
She communicated with several people telepathically, explaining it in this way.
Zhao Qing remained silent, staring at the almost overflowing flamboyant posture of the Demon Lord Lianyin, and couldn't help but want to scratch his head...
Ok.
It's clear that she's very close to the Phoenix, and probably to Qingjun as well.
In the end, none of them received the Phoenix's permission...
Following Lianyin, they somehow passed through the restrictions and entered the majestic Divine Palace.
There is a hidden paradise within the Divine Palace.
It's not a magnificent palace, but rather a secluded courtyard amidst mountains and water, a tranquil and secluded place... a hidden paradise in itself.
Ancient trees sway in the breeze, and the wind chimes tinkle softly in the wind.
Zhao Qing got to see him.
His gaze froze for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat.
Those are sycamore trees!
Look around!
There are three of them in the quiet courtyard that you can see!
Of course, it's definitely not like the Purple Pearl Pavilion Master, a naturally divine plant rooted in the watershed, but the variety is indeed the same.
Based on a rough assessment, the small bells growing on the trees could be picked and used to forge top-grade spiritual artifacts... especially the Soul-Capturing Bell from Tianxiang, which is the most useful.
Zhao Qing's gaze lingered.
I took a few more glances at the towering ancient trees...
Zhang Jinyi, Si He, Ding Qian, Qing Huan, and Whale Girl all followed suit, scanning the scenery of this secret realm.
only because……
In the courtyard, Lianyin was truly at the height of her wantonness, her beautiful legs bent gracefully as she knelt down, throwing herself at the woman's feet and embracing the outline of her long dress...
This is a classic case of sucking up to someone powerful.
Zhao Qing looked embarrassed; how could this be allowed to happen?
The Phoenix Pavilion Master, dressed in a palace gown, exuded an air of elegance. Her long, narrow phoenix eyes drooped as she remained seated beside the stone table under the tree...
He casually put down the ancient book, looked up at Zhao Qing and his group, as if nothing had happened.
"coming."
"All sit down."
Ok……
Zhao Qing looked away from the woman, bowed respectfully, and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
if not?
There were seats available next to the stone table. Was he going to sit there and go to the opposite side of the phoenix?
Besides, there aren't enough seats...
now.
Zhang Jin and Si He also sat cross-legged in place, as did Qing Huan and Whale Girl.
The only one who stood out was the flirtatious woman kneeling at the Phoenix Queen's feet, clinging to her thighs; she seemed completely out of place with everyone else…
But Rei-on herself didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.
She then raised her eyes coquettishly and whispered to her master with a sweet laugh, "He's awake. He has something left behind by the Emperor on him."
"These are Chenghuang and Haijiao, the little sisters that the Emperor picked up~"
"Qinghuan is a human who transformed into a demon, and Yu'er is Jinyi's maid."
hiss--
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing...
Oh?
So you are actually... this kind of pitiful demon lord?
Zhao Qing coughed lightly and said respectfully in a low voice, "This disciple greets Your Majesty."
"Sihe greets Your Majesty."
"Ding Qian greets Your Majesty..."
Right now, everyone just follows Lianyin's lead and shouts the same thing.
Even though Zhang Jin called him "Master Uncle" last time, he called him "Emperor" this time.
In fact, the Phoenix Pavilion Master has a name.
She was then called... Phoenix.
Zhao Qing had heard Shou Nu mention her, referring to her as the Phoenix Maiden.
The woman possessed an elegant and noble demeanor. She glanced indifferently at the crowd before lowering her eyes to meet Lianyin's gaze at her feet...
After a brief silence.
He finally looked at Zhao Qing again.
He went straight to the point: "Your Achilles' heel is on you. What is Qingjun's current situation?"
What's the situation...?
That's how straightforward it is.
After a moment's consideration, Zhao Qing began to relay the message in a low voice.
"Back then, when the true blood gathered from the blood-stained clothes of the world dispersed."
“The rebellious scale in the disciple’s life palace has shown some unusual signs.”
“Manifestation of the birth of an infant.”
"After that, the disciple's consciousness became hazy, lasting for about three months."
"In my drowsy state, I seemed to see a mundane town."
"There is a marsh reflecting the moon, called Qianyue Marsh, and a lonely town in the marsh is called Qianyue County."
“There are wealthy families in the county who are merchants, including the Dyeing House.”
"The second wife of the Ran family is surnamed Liang, Liang Xi."
"The baby girl in her arms... was named Ran Qingying."
Zhao Qing finished his explanation and, together with Senior Sister Zhang, looked at the woman with a questioning expression.
Compared to Qingjun's true form, the Phoenix doesn't appear as powerful, but this dignified and aloof deity still exudes a sense of distance and aloofness.
Upon hearing this...
Phoenix lowered her long, narrow eyes and nodded calmly.
He then asked directly, "Do you know where it is?"
Zhao Qing looked solemn and answered the questions.
"I don't know yet."
"Its mortal order is relatively stable, unlike the ninety states. I suspect it is in some distant overseas, or even... some abandoned secret realms or small worlds that have evolved over many years."
"Um--"
The phoenix girl responded softly, seemingly lost in thought.
She gently lifted her slender hand and pulled at the gauze sleeve, letting it fall onto Lianyin's fragrant shoulder below her knees: "Qingjun's true spirit is accompanied by fragments of fortune."
"No one but you can find it."
"Since Qingjun has already given you instructions, then you should go and meet her."
"Hide your tracks and do not publicize them."
"The subsequent clues must not be revealed to anyone."
That's it...
Zhao Qing didn't hesitate; that was what he had planned all along.
He was perfectly aware of the phoenix's reminder.
just.
He was about to nod and agree immediately.
But then the Phoenix Maiden's narrow phoenix eyes deepened, and she looked over calmly, asking, "Do you know why Qingjun chose to entrust the Reverse Scale to you?"
Zhao Qing: ...
To be honest, he didn't really know.
But one could tell from the woman's questioning that she was giving herself a heads-up...
Therefore, he nodded emphatically: "I am fortunate to have your trust, Master, and I will certainly not let you down."
trust……
The woman nodded, her gaze meaningful.
Indeed, even she felt that Qingjun trusted this young disciple too much.
Perhaps it was really because Zhang Jinyi wasn't around back then.
Right now.
A faint sound of Dao attainment reached my ears, a silent murmur emanating from beneath my feet…
"The Emperor believes he won't do anything outrageous."
"Beyond the bond between master and disciple, there are only some tricks and schemes. At least they are loyal enough and weak enough that they will not betray you."
Flowery intestines?
The depths of the Phoenix Maiden's eyes flickered.
What kind of weird stuff?
She lowered her eyes slightly, glanced at Lianyin, and remained noncommittal.
Instead, he reminded Zhao Qing: "Because Chenghuang is of utmost importance, apart from Qingjun and me, no one can protect it."
"Therefore, I'm entrusting my Achilles' heel to you, understand?"
The words fell.
Si He frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Both Zhao Qing and Zhang Jinyi had a slight ripple in their eyes.
This is indeed the case.
Even if he and Sister Zhang fall into the hands of other immortals and gods, there is still a slight possibility that they will be stripped of their fragments and survive.
Sihe, on the other hand, was purely born and raised by nature, while Chenghuang's fate rested entirely on the fragments.
This is a reminder of the same threat.
Zhao Qing didn't say much, but he actually agreed wholeheartedly.
He said earnestly, "This disciple understands, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Um--"
The Phoenix Maiden nodded slightly, and after giving her reminder, her gaze toward Zhao Qing was no longer distant.
She then glanced at Zhang Jinyi...
Then their eyes met...
Then he looked at Ding Qian's expression...
We are now in a commanding position, looking down from above.
He calmly explained, "Qingjun's true spirit has malfunctioned."
"He shouldn't have been found by the dreamer in the first place."
"It was his disciple Xing You who, having been estranged for many years, intervened at the opportune moment."
As soon as these words came out!
Zhao Qing and the others paused for a moment, their brows furrowed, their eyes filled with shock and surprise... but gradually it turned into understanding.
Dream Master!
The dream master has made his move...
Indeed, there were manifestations in the scene of Hualongtan that resembled the Taoist tradition of the Dream Master.
But Zhao Qing and his companions never expected that Qingying's previous location outside the realm of chaos would also be found by the Dream Master...
Moreover... it was the betrayal of the eldest brother.
Punishment!
Immortal Lord of Yaohua Palace!
Zhang Jin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she inadvertently met Zhao Qingsihe's gaze.
As expected, the secret passage was indeed there... She had suspected before that there might be a traitor among them.
Otherwise, Qingying's existence had been planned for many years, and Master was quite concerned about it and had made many attempts... How could it have been completely useless in the end and simply vanished without a trace?
Zhao Qingjian's eyes were serious.
A chill ran down my spine.
Of course, I understand what Huang Nu means; she's giving them a warning... especially herself.
but.
His gaze remained intense as he pressed on with obvious concern...
"And this Xing You, right now...?"
Zhao Qing had never met this senior brother before, but he was indeed shocked and annoyed at the moment.
With the help of Qingjun, he eventually reached the cultivation and status of Yaohua Immortal Lord, which is already the pinnacle of the immortal path!
Although it was previously said that the ancestor Jian was exceptionally esteemed.
But Xing You, as a true immortal lord of Yaohua Palace, how much worse could he be than Jian Zu?
It's just younger... and doesn't have the accumulated foundation of tens of thousands of years.
Isn't cultivation all about aligning with the Dao?
...A veteran Daoist master.
now.
Upon hearing Zhao Qing's inquiry.
Si He raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and Ding Qian and Zhang Jin also looked at Feng Huang with serious expressions, both wanting to hear about Xing You's fate.
Lianyin, however, helplessly looked up, gazing longingly at the woman seated on the seat...
She knew in her heart that even if Xing You betrayed Qing Jun, there might not be any consequences or punishment.
as predicted.
The Phoenix Maiden looked back at Zhao Qing, her demeanor indifferent and calm.
"After years of arduous training, now that we have a choice, let it be."
"There will be a reckoning in the future."
Fortunately, no major disaster occurred. Qingjun had other plans, so the important matter was not delayed.
Hearing these nonchalant and indifferent words.
Zhao Qing frowned slightly, sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Compared to Qingjun, this emperor seemed more like a superior, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
He has come this far.
Of course I understand. At the level of Xingyou Immortal Lord, even if he betrayed Qingjun, it would be difficult for him to suffer any calamities or consequences at present.
Those seventeen chairs are interconnected; a single movement among them can have far-reaching consequences.
Even if the Phoenix was truly enraged, it could only wait for the next major upheaval and take the opportunity to settle scores with the traitors.
It's impossible for someone to get angry today and immediately resort to violence...
For such beings, decades or centuries are but a fleeting moment; they can afford to wait.
Even if you understand.
Zhao Qing was still incredibly annoyed, but even more so, he felt helpless, regretful, and resentful...
now.
He gathered his thoughts and exchanged glances with Sister Zhang.
He then said seriously, "This disciple will remember Your Majesty's instructions."
"There's something else..."
As for Zhao Qing, that was just mentioned.
Lianyin then replied in a coquettish voice, hugging Huangnu's beautiful legs and sulking softly: "Then Xiaojian wants to touch the seal of the Water Ridge."
“Jian followed Xueyi and went to work as a member of the Third Rank.”
"They promise to listen to us~"
"Toad!"
is it?
Upon hearing this, the phoenix remained calm and composed, as if it hadn't even given it a second thought.
I simply asked, "And then?"
then……
Zhang Jin shook her head slightly and frowned: "Considering the situation of each branch, and seeking stability, this disciple has refused Ancestor Jian's request."
"...I'm worried that it might cause unnecessary trouble."
She had visited Phoenix before, and spoke simply and directly this time.
Upon hearing this, the Phoenix Maiden simply nodded.
He casually mentioned it, but didn't take it to heart at all.
"Ah."
"It's best to be like this now."
"Afterwards, Zhao Qingyan told Qingjun, and let Qingjun decide."
She said so.
His narrow, indifferent phoenix eyes remained fixed on Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing felt a chill run down his spine as he watched.
Always felt……
Ever since he arrived here, the Phoenix Maiden has been staring at him.
She barely glanced at Si Hedingqian, and didn't say much to Sister Zhang...
Is it...
What else is on my mind?
Zhao Qing was puzzled and could only ask hesitantly, "Does Your Majesty have any further advice for me?"
He asked this question.
Unexpectedly, the Phoenix Maiden actually nodded her head slightly.
His gaze grew colder, a piercing, condescending scrutiny that made it hard to breathe...
The woman's voice was ethereal, as if she were talking to herself in a low voice.
"That Zizhu seems to know something about you."
"Why?"
what! ?
Who is Zizhu?
Is it Shou-nu?
Zhao Qing was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately understood the situation.
Look at this mess... you've misunderstood me, haven't you?
I'm fucking loyal!
He chuckled shyly and explained in a very obsequious manner, "Your Majesty is unaware of this."
"Due to a chance encounter with a fragment, I had some conversations with the Lord of the Purple Pearl."
"Of course, it was with Master's permission..."
Oh?
The Phoenix Maiden's usually calm expression finally revealed a hint of surprise.
Her delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, and her beautiful eyes scrutinized the man...
Was it just some communication?
Your behavior in the Immortal Palace was very familiar to you, wasn't it?
She stared at Zhao Qing for a while before slowly withdrawing her gaze. Without saying or asking any questions, she simply said, "Take care of yourself."
Say it.
The Phoenix Pavilion Master then gracefully rose and casually kicked away Lianyin beneath her feet...
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes.
it turns out--
They went straight to Sihe!
Si He was puzzled and asked respectfully in a low voice, "Your Majesty?"
"Ah."
"Have someone open the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm, and I will stay there for a while."
What! ?
Upon hearing this.
Si He was a little caught off guard.
Zhang Jinyi and Qinghuan were even more so.
Zhao Qing: ???
No, sir, where are you going?
That's my house...it's all women...
