Chapter 298: Love Rivals Meet and Fight [Two Chapters in One]

“There may be something wrong with the scripture itself. It is very likely that a part is missing.” Tang Jin was dressed in black, which made his skin look even whiter and more crystal clear like mutton-fat jade.

Master Wu disagreed and said, “Xiao Tang, if you haven’t comprehended it thoroughly, don’t blame the scriptures for having problems.”

Tang Jin immediately glared at it. This guy had obviously become arrogant after being praised by the master recently. He kept calling it “Xiao Tang” and couldn’t change his tone.

“Qin Ming, do you want to give it a try?” asked the young man Ling Yu.

Master Wu also looked over. He really wanted to see whether this young man who had beaten Lao Cao in the same field was also amazing in terms of comprehension.

Qin Ming smiled and naturally wanted to study it.

But before that, he should learn more about the details of the fairy tomb.

In his opinion, the grass on the graves here has become a magical medicine, and the thorns and wild trees growing wildly on the top of the big tombs are all the legendary diamond trees, which is truly amazing.

And if the words engraved on the stone wall were just fragments of a scripture, if he rashly barged in and tried to resonate with it, it would be bad if someone noticed.

“Which top sects have come to Xinsheng Road?” Qin Ming asked.

Ling Yu informed: “People from Yin Yang Temple and Chun Yang Palace have already arrived.”

Among them, it was confirmed that the Yin-Yang Temple already had a master-level figure in charge. Two hundred years ago, the light from the outer sky fell like heavy rain, which was actually caused by him breaking through the barrier.

However, Qin Ming was not familiar with the people in Yin Yang Temple, and was even a little worried about the younger generation of the sect.

In the past, at the ruins of Luofu Fairy Mountain, Lu Zhen, a young disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, had tried his best to help Li Qingxu fight for the Bagua Furnace.

In that battle, although Lu Zhen was the one who attacked, he severely injured Tang Xumi, which was enough to show that he was extraordinary. He almost allowed Li Qingxu to take away the immortal object with his own strength.

Qin Ming asked: “Liu Yu, Tathagata, Yu Qing, etc., haven’t these people from the ancestral temple arrived yet?”

Jin Xiang said, “They should be here soon. I estimate they will arrive in the next two days. Their journey is a little further than our Shanhe Academy.”

“Well, then wait a moment.” Qin Ming said. He wanted to see Lu Zizai.

The main reason was that he found that there was something wrong with the way people around him looked at him.

For example, what were the expressions of Chu Yuan and Jiang Yunfan, who had taught him the Golden Wave Immortal Treasure and the Cloud-lifting Ascension Technique? They seemed to be deeply surprised by his appearance here, and their eyes were somewhat complicated.

Cui Chonghe also glanced over faintly, but his gaze only lingered for a moment.

Some people looked strange, but no one said anything.

Qin Ming’s face was calm as he carefully learned the details of the place.

The ancestor used a rare treasure to pry open a crack in the restriction of the big tomb, allowing people to go in and take opportunities. Currently, this big tomb contains weapons of more than one ancestor.

In addition to this place, the important burial tomb next to the main tomb, which is as big as a mountain, has also been pried open a crack, but only famous people can enter there, and the opportunity is not for young people.

After Qin Ming got to know the situation, he gradually realized that Xianlu did not dare to act rashly. This was really not in line with their style. They were observing very cautiously.

Obviously, there is a big situation here.

At this time, people from the Five Elements Palace on Xinsheng Road arrived. They were also visiting the place for the first time and were immediately shocked.

“The diamond tree that bears golden fruits is a legendary solid precious medicine. Even high-level monks would be jealous when they see it!” A middle-aged man was stunned.

An old man on the Immortal Road nodded and said, “Well, at present, none of the young men have picked the diamond fruit, so it is difficult to shake the immortal light of the treasure tree.”

Soon, a group of young men walked into the Five Elements Palace.

They went there with excitement and returned with disappointment; many of them didn’t even get there and were already staggering and about to fall halfway.

The young man, who was being trained by the Five Elements Palace as the future Palace Master, sat cross-legged under the Vajra Tree, where he comprehended the scriptures, and finally left with a frown on his face.

“You actually came to the immortal tomb area. That’s a bit rash.” Pei Shuyan transmitted the message.

His relationship with Qin Ming could not be described as close, but they became closer passively because of the Helian family.

Qin Ming looked over there and saw Pei Shuyan had already turned and left.

Han Heng, a young man from the Five Elements Palace, came over, greeted Qin Ming, and walked along Xinsheng Road together. He had heard of the name of the young man from Black and White Mountains for a long time recently.

“Brother Qin, have you tried to comprehend that scripture? I feel that it has a magical effect on people on the New Path, and can strengthen the body and flesh. Unfortunately, I am dull and my comprehension is limited.”

“Everyone who went in was not able to comprehend it thoroughly. I will adjust my state first.” Qin Ming said.

Finally, Xin Youdao couldn’t bear it any longer and went in. He returned in distress and was still thinking when he came outside.

Jin Xiang wanted to pick diamond fruits, but was told that he was over the age limit.

Qin Ming walked around the huge tomb that was as big as a mountain, but did not see Li Qingyue or anyone from the Helian family.

Not long after, he discovered Tang Xumi.

“Several friends of Helian Zhaoyu once spread some rumors, saying that you wouldn’t dare to show up. Although they didn’t use overly harsh words, I don’t think they had good intentions. Those people are not simple people.”

Tang Xumi solemnly conveyed the message in secret. As an immortal, he was so cautious. One could imagine how feared the Helian family was in other places.

Qin Ming frowned. The real owner hadn’t shown up yet, but someone was already putting pressure on him. It seemed that those friends of Helian Zhaoyu must be of considerable background.

Unfortunately, Old Man Liu is in poor health. If he were to be resurrected as a god, given their relationship, Qin Ming would not be so passive. Even if he let Old Liu’s big yellow dog deal with that group of people who always talked about their backgrounds, there would probably be no problem.

He could only think about it and finally sighed, thinking that people still have to be self-reliant.

This time, he had no intention of coming to the Immortal Tomb Realm, and wanted to retreat in the Black and White Mountain. Lu Zizai didn’t know the recent situation, otherwise he might not have called him over, right?

As the sky gradually darkened, a thin mist rose from the mountains and forests. Under the illumination of the fire spring, it looked like a hazy veil or a sunset glow.

In the evening, Qin Ming, Jin Xiang and Xin Youdao returned to the outside of the mountain city and prepared to rest on the spaceship.

The two sun elves followed the whole time. They were very quiet and didn’t even say their own names. Qin Ming secretly called them Jingjing One and Lingling Two.

Even though Yu Gensheng had heard some rumors after he went out, he came to Qin Ming’s room with a serious face and said, “I didn’t expect that the Helian family would be involved. If I had known this, I shouldn’t have let you come here.”

He was afraid that someone would break the rules and worried that something might happen to Qin Ming. After all, this was Xianlu’s home ground.

Qin Ming suddenly realized that her words to Tang Jin when she met him in Shancheng were not directed at him, because now almost everyone felt that it was risky for him to come here.

Under such circumstances, Tang Jin, Ling Yu, and Master Wu accompanied him on a trip to the immortal tomb, which was really good, not to mention that they also wanted to accept disciples on his behalf.

“When will Brother Lu arrive?” Qin Ming asked.

“Estimate the time. It may have arrived already, or it may be tomorrow.” Yu Gensheng asked him to live on the spaceship and never be left alone.

“It’s not that serious.” Qin Ming shook his head. He was just a teenager from the Helian family, so the impact wouldn’t be that great.

Yu Gensheng said: “The key point is that it involves the fundamental sutras of the Luofu Sect, as well as the sect’s guardian weapon – the Eight Trigrams Furnace. If the Immortal Path is torn apart and infighting like this, it is not a bad thing for our New Path.”

The next day, people from Tathagata arrived, and Wu Yaozu and Xiang Yiwu appeared.

After the two of them ran around the immortal tomb for a long time, they learned that Qin Ming had arrived and immediately rushed to meet him.

When Wu Yaozu met them, he said, “Brother Ming, we heard that the kid from the Helian family is very arrogant. His friends actually said that. It’s really too much!”

Qin Ming brought him out of the desperate situation. The two of them went through hardships together many times and faced life-and-death crises. They were truly friends for life and death.

Xiao Wu said, “Let’s study this. Don’t hold back on this anger. If they provoke us, we can just kill them all. Then, you and I will run back to the Fourth Jedi and lie dormant for a hundred years. When we become highly skilled, we will wipe them all out. Grandmasters and old monsters will all be nothing but dirt after a hundred years.”

Xiang Yiwu reminded, “The Fourth Jedi was dug through by that peerless strongman of the secret sect, and the old monster Helian also went deep into it. How dare he bring people to dig him out.”

Wu Yaozu was briefly distracted. The backyard that he thought was relatively safe was not a place of refuge at all.

Then he said, “At worst, we can fight our way into the depths of the Night Fog World and come back a hundred years later!”

Qin Ming shook his head and said, “Be patient. The Helian family has not made any moves. A few irrelevant people are just trying to alarm the enemy and intimidate them. These are nothing.”

Xiang Yiwu also nodded and said, “I also think that the Helian family dare not go too far.”

They were talking about the family, but they didn’t expect that someone would come with a letter soon, saying that someone from the Helian clan wanted to meet.

“Then let’s go and take a look.” Qin Ming decided to keep the appointment.

“I really don’t believe that they can cover the sky with one hand.” Wu Yaozu said, he and Xiang Yiwu were also going to follow.

Jingjingyi and Linglinger were very familiar with the mountain city. They took them to a teahouse planted with golden maples and red fire vines. Looking around, the scenery was gold mixed with red, and it was quite pleasing to the eyes.

“It’s you.” Qin Ming was surprised. It was Helian Yaoqing, not Helian Zhaoyu.

She was still dressed as a man, looking quite suave, but her lips were particularly red and her eyelashes were long and thick, which somewhat revealed her female identity.

She got straight to the point and said, “My cousin looks harmless and gentle, but he is actually very evil and ruthless. Come and help me, I will give you benefits and keep you safe.”

Helian Yaoqing and Helian Zhaoyu were born incompatible and had always had conflicts.

Although she was extending an olive branch, Qin Ming directly refused. Working for the Helian family? What was he thinking!

Wu Yaozu said, “Brother, who is your Helian Zhaoyu? Do you think he can do whatever he wants just because he is born into a noble family? How about this, if you can cripple him, or at worst drive him back to the outer world, we can discuss cooperation and mutual assistance with you.”

Helian Yaoqing laughed and said, “You are so bold. Although he and I are not on good terms, he is still my cousin after all.”

“Then what else can we say!” Wu Yaozu immediately put down the teacup.

In fact, Qin Ming didn’t want to talk more.

He knew that these were superficial issues.

Sure enough, Helian Yaoqing also smiled and shook his head, saying: “In fact, you are wrong. You should see the essence through the phenomenon. Even if there is no Helian Zhaoyu, there will still be Zhaohui and Zhaosheng. Even if there is no suitable unmarried man, there is still the married Zhaoqing, Helian Mingxu’s father, yes, and the younger Mingxu and others.”

“Ms. Helian, you’re going too far!” Lian Xiang Yiwu couldn’t hold it in anymore after hearing this.

“This is a stress reaction for you. You are still young and naive. At this age, are young men and women full of affection? But after many years, when you look back, how much is this kind of friendship worth?” Helian Yaoqing shook his head disdainfully.

She took a sip of tea and continued, “Let’s take a step back. Even if the Helian family has no male heirs, we still have me and other women.”

Wu Yaozu looked at her and felt that this was far from the truth.

Qin Ming naturally understood what he meant. After all, it was the Yuxian Sect that coveted the Luofu Sect’s fundamental scriptures and the sect’s guardian weapon, so it didn’t matter who they used for the marriage.

All of this was just to save face and give the Luofu Sect a way out.

Of course, Helian Zhaoyu himself might really want to marry Li Qingyue.

“These are all decisions made by the old man above, and have nothing to do with me, so just don’t hate me. Of course, as a direct descendant of the Helian family, I do enjoy the benefits of the family. As for us, we can still cooperate if there is a chance. I’ll pay for the tea, you guys take your time, I’m leaving first.”

Helian Yaoqing stood up lazily, covered her red lips with her hand, yawned a little, and left.

“Under this circumstance, unless the heaven takes away the old man from the Helian family…” Xiang Yiwu whispered, or the “Past Tathagata” is still alive in the world, and he is willing to take action. In the early night, the fire springs in the mountain city are soft, and there are countless natural scenery, all glowing dimly. After Qin Ming walked out of the golden maple forest, he was also thinking about some problems.

Strictly speaking, he and Li Qingyue were not yet lovers, but he just felt relaxed when he was with her and they had many common topics.

This is very much like two people on the path of spiritual practice walking hand in hand towards the summit together.

Right now, he absolutely didn’t want to see Li Qingyue showing signs of fatigue, having her fate arranged by others, and leaving her originally brilliant life trajectory.

Li Qingyue said that she would solve everything by herself, but Qin Ming really couldn’t see any way out of the impasse.

“If it really doesn’t work, I’m sorry, I really need to go to the vicinity of Black Dragon Pond and dig out the ancestor for a careful examination. Oh, forget it, it’s probably not going to work. The ancestor can’t survive until now, and it’s too treasonous.”

Wu Yaozu and Xiang Yiwu followed behind him, both of them also felt heavy in their hearts. The old monster in the Yuxian Sect who had one foot in the seventh realm was truly terrifying and unstoppable.

In the mountain city, all the roads are not straight. They are paved with bluestone and are winding. The paths are surrounded by ancient trees, strange rocks, etc.

Ahead, at the bend in the road, a man with green hair appeared, and next to him was a woman in black, who looked a little cool and elegant, with a hint of noble charm.

Qin Ming recognized at a glance that the man was Cui He, whom he once called his fourth uncle. He was proficient in the “Yi Mu Jing” and was also practicing the “Zhu Shi Jing”.

He was also familiar with the woman beside Cui He, whose name was Cui Shuning. He used to call her aunt.

In the past, these two people had specially gone to Chixia City to look for him. Without Meng Xinghai’s protection, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Qin Ming had no good feelings towards these two people. They had arranged for Yu Zhuohan to compete with him, and that was how he won the Yi Mu Sutra from the two people in front of him.

When Cui He saw him, he immediately laughed, looking very familiar and close, and said, “Qin Ming, what a coincidence! You are so brave to come here and follow Tuohuang? Fourth uncle already knows about you. Do you want me to find someone to help you mediate?”

Cui Shuning also glanced over indifferently, but said nothing, looking reserved and graceful.

Qin Ming didn’t want to see them. He didn’t feel any kindness from them, so he didn’t bother to be polite or say anything more to them. He just said, “Cui Si, stay away from me.”

“You are so rebellious. How can you talk to your elders like that?” Cui He scolded.

“Throw them both aside.” Qin Ming ordered Jingjing 1 and Lingling 2.

In Chixia City, he still called them uncle and aunt, which was out of good upbringing and just to save face.

Ever since he was targeted by the old woman of the Cui family and fell into the fourth Jedi and died, he has been too lazy to be perfunctory. If the time and place are right, the two sides will definitely fight to the death when they meet.

Just like on the plateau outside the third Jedi, when he was hunting monsters and fighting for the blood of auspicious beasts, he fought to the death with the Cui family and killed many of the other side’s direct descendants.

Qin Ming discovered that the two sun elves were actually hesitating. He was very dissatisfied and looked over. Only then did they move forward.

“Okay, you are ruthless enough!” Cui He became angry and embarrassed.

Cui Shuning also said in a cold voice: “Qin Ming, you are an ominous person. After being targeted by the Helian family… your fate is predictable!”

“Why don’t you get out of here?” Qin Ming said coldly.

In the end, the Cui brothers and sisters were in a rather embarrassing state. They were no match for the two sun elves, so they dared not utter any more harsh words and left in panic.

Afterwards, Qin Ming and the other two met many acquaintances in the mountain city, including some nobles from Dayu.

At the beginning, after the Battle of Nantianmen, these people tried their best to win over the three of them, offering them all kinds of good wine in Guanghan Palace, and even wanted to invite them to banquets from time to time afterwards.

Although the people I meet now are still polite, they clearly maintain boundaries and have a clear sense of distance. As for getting close to or winning them over, there is no need to even think about it.

Through a series of events, Qin Ming further felt the influence of the Yuxian Sect and the Helian Family.

“This makes me feel very angry and uncomfortable. The depression brought by the Helian family is difficult to resolve in my chest!” Wu Yaozu said indignantly.

A moment later, a disciple from the Immortal Road came to deliver a letter.

After Qin Ming read it, he smashed it with a snap of his fingers.

After seeing this scene, the disciple of the Immortal Path opened his eyes wide in surprise, turned around and left.

“Whose letter is it?” Xiang Yiwu asked.

“Helian Zhaoyu.” Qin Ming no longer wanted to meet this person. After all, it was the will of those people above him that was at work. Meeting this person or not would not change anything.

However, he didn’t want to see this person, but the other party appeared on the road ahead.

Helian Zhaoyu used to like wearing black clothes, but recently he has been wearing white clothes. Knowing that he has no good intentions, his spotless attire is very eye-catching.

He was indeed very handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a gentle smile on his face. He was standing on the street with great grace.

“Let’s find a place and talk.” He said with a smile.

There were two people of similar age following him. They looked quite prominent and were quite self-confident. They ignored what Qin Ming, Xiao Wu and the others said.

“Then let’s talk to them.” Xiang Yiwu said.

“Okay.” Qin Ming nodded, walked forward, and chose a quieter teahouse not far away.

In fact, ever since Helian Zhaoyu showed up and blocked Qin Ming’s way, some people nearby saw it, which immediately caused a stir.

Qin Ming, Wu Yaozu and Xiang Yiwu entered the tea room first.

After Helian Zhaoyu came in, he put away his smile, took the initiative, sat there with his arms and legs spread out, pointed forward, and said in a tough tone: “Sit!”

Qin Ming ignored him, walked inside, pulled out a wooden chair, sat behind another qingtan wooden table, and then began to look at him.

“You have a bad temper.” A young man next to Helian Zhaoyu sneered.

The two men also sat down, forming a standoff with Qin Ming and the other three.

“You’re making a hissing sound. Do you have diarrhea?” Wu Yaozu glared back.

The young man stood up again, and Xiao Wu stood up not to be outdone.

“You sit down and drink tea, I’ll do it myself.” Helian Zhaoyu comforted his companion, stood up and walked over.

“You are very wild.” He said coldly, his white clothes seemed to be covered with frost. This temperament was completely different from the elegance and courtesy he showed outside. It was like he was a completely different person.

“Can you speak human language? Don’t be so self-righteous.” Qin Ming spoke and stood up.

Rumor has it that when Helian Zhaoyu was very young, he was taken by his clansmen to various places in the Night Fog to hone himself. For a period of time, the atmosphere was so murderous that even birds and beasts dared not approach.

Later, he recited strange scriptures and practiced secret skills. Although he washed away the bloody smell and looked as handsome as jade, he could not be a truly gentle and kind young man.

He stretched out his hand and poked Qin Ming’s heart, saying: “You are an abandoned child of the Cui family, do you know who you are talking to?”

This seemed a bit unscrupulous. When there was no one around, he took off his disguise and was no longer humble and polite with a gentle smile on his face, but instead had a condescending attitude.

“Why are you barking like a dog!” How could Qin Ming let him touch his chest at will? He stretched out his right index and middle fingers and cut forward.

At the tips of his fingers, blue clouds and red clouds bloomed together, and the Azure Dragon and the Vermillion Bird appeared at the same time, entwining around his two fingers. He didn’t know this person’s true realm. Even if he intercepted casually, he had to use the two kinds of holy evil.

Helian Zhaoyu was surprised and avoided his fingers.

“You can, but have you thought about the consequences of disobeying me?” He stretched out his right hand, wanting to gently pat Qin Ming’s left cheek, with a superior attitude, as if he was going to teach a subordinate a lesson.

In an instant, the Azure Dragon and the Vermillion Bird rose up, shining brightly.

Helian Zhaoyu took several steps back. He was a highly skilled Taoist and he did not want to damage his image and avoid having his snow-white robe sleeves burned through by the Suzaku Saint Evil.

He rolled up his sleeves, and his right hand emitted a dazzling light and flowed with white fairy mist. He was quite cold and decisive, and he used his secret skills right away to take ruthless action.

With a clang, the mutton-fat jade iron knife behind Qin Ming was automatically unsheathed, and emitted a five-colored divine glow, shining forward.

At the same time, Wu Yaozu lifted up the qingtan wooden table with a loud bang, and the hot water, tea sets, etc. on the table all crashed towards the person in front.

“Grandson, how can you talk like that? You are disobeying us.” Xiao Wu shouted.

At the same time, Xiang Yiwu also stood up, and his body, as wide as the door panel, burst into golden light.

Helian Zhaoyu’s whole body was emitting silver ripples. The qingtan wooden table and the tea sets silently turned into powder when they approached him, as if they were crushed in an instant by a “fairy grinder”.

He stood there in his fluttering white robe, glancing at the three people coldly.

Behind him, the two young men who had accompanied him also slowly stood up and then pressed forward.

Qin Ming glanced at the two sun elves beside him. Even at this point, the two of them had no reaction at all.

“You two, get started!” he gave the order directly.

The two sun elves hesitated and took two slow steps forward.

Helian Zhaoyu smiled indifferently and clapped his hands. Silently, two old men appeared in the tea room.

He ordered coldly: “Push them all to their knees!”

Upon hearing this, the two old men immediately moved forward. Their aura was so intimidating that the void seemed to be distorted and there was a roar of thunder.

Qin Ming looked at the two sun elves. They became more hesitant and did not dare to face the direct descendants of the Helian family directly.

Helian Zhaoyu smiled faintly. In his opinion, this was normal.

Beside him, the two young men also sneered.

Wu Yaozu and Xiang Yiwu looked solemn. Facing these two old men, they had no chance of winning even if they fought desperately. But how could they be willing to be forced to kneel on the ground and be humiliated?

Qin Ming looked outside the teahouse. He knew that Yu Gensheng had been following him because he was worried about him.

Boom!

With his sleeves fluttering, Yu Gensheng entered the tea room. The spiritual field twisted into a void, and some kind of “holy figure” vaguely emerged, overwhelming the whole place with its might.

In an instant, the two old men trembled, and then were pressed to their knees on the ground, with their heads hitting the ground.

Helian Zhaoyu and the two young men were also cold all over. They could not move and stood stiff on the spot.

Although Qin Ming knew that Yu Gensheng was following him, he felt very warm in his heart when he saw that Yu Gensheng did not hesitate at all when facing a behemoth like the Helian Family and just appeared and took action.

He has always been restrained and calm. He doesn’t cause trouble on weekdays and doesn’t want to cause trouble for the people who care about and protect him.

However, Qin Ming now walked forward. He knew that when facing certain people, it would be of no use even if he endured.

He strode forward, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked sideways, stepping on the faces of the two teenagers one after another, causing their mouths to splatter with blood and their teeth to fall out. Both of them flew out.

One of them was hanging in the corner, and the other one smashed the tables and chairs and lay in the mess.

Then, Qin Ming swung his right palm in a circle, and with a slap, he slapped Helian Zhaoyu hard on the face.
