Fighting the Masked Man
Chapter 434: First Encounter with Ling Qingzhu
When Yao Yan and Jiang Yinyin arrived at Dakui City, it was already dark. From afar, the huge and magnificent city looked like a huge ancient ferocious beast, crawling on the ground, exuding a heart-pounding aura.
Its city walls are extremely tall and majestic, extending to the end of the sight, and there is still no end in sight. This shows how terrifying the area of this big puppet city is.
Judging from its area alone, it is undoubtedly much larger than Daying City.
Inside the city, the roads extend in all directions, and a large number of people are constantly pouring in and out, making it look extremely lively.
It is comparable to a small human country… Yao Yan commented in his heart, and then took Jiang Yinyin’s little hand and walked forward, stopping and walking along the way, looking at this prosperous city. As for the matter of the Yunshen Fu Tuan, he was not in a hurry.
Since it has been confirmed that the Yunshen Putian has appeared here, it is not difficult to find it.
“What exactly is the Soul-Ying Cushion that your Excellency is looking for? Why does your Excellency attach so much importance to it?” The ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’, who had been holding back all the way, could no longer hold back and asked. It was the first time he saw Yao Yan interested in something, even when he had met the Devouring Ancestral Talisman before, the other party had never been like this before.
“The pattern of the ancient Qiankun Formation is hidden in it.” Yao Yan replied softly.
“?!” The ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’ was startled, and then his mind was extremely agitated, because the Qiankun Ancient Formation was also created by Fu Zu in the past, and it was ranked fifth on the ancient divine objects list. It has the power to merge and decompose multiple forces. It is extremely special. It was one of the important means for Fu Zu to deal with the Demon Emperor in the past.
However, the battle that year was too brutal. According to its memory at that time, the formation plate of the Qiankun Ancient Formation should have been broken. It did not expect that they would meet again here.
“I saw it in an ancient book.” Yao Yan said casually, because he didn’t know how to answer this question. Instead of making up a reason, it would be better to let the ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’ think of a reason himself.
Could it be a record left by the strong men who participated in the war that year?
The ancestral stone spirit Yan began to ponder, and soon a series of familiar figures emerged in his mind, and he began to guess.
Yao Yan didn’t care what Yan guessed, and took the curious baby for a stroll, just to experience the local customs and practices. During the years in the Douqi Continent, he never had the mentality he has now. With a different mentality, the way he looks at things will also become different.
As the sky got completely dark, Yao Yan took Jiang Yinyin to stay in the largest inn in Dakui City. After settling the little girl properly, he left the house slowly and left a mental seal around the room just in case.
“How do you plan to find the Qiankun Ancient Formation, sir?” The ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’ appeared at the right time and asked.
“Of course I’ll ask the local bosses for help. I’m sure they will be happy to help me.” Yao Yan said lightly, and flew towards the center of the city.
Although there are many powerful forces in Dagui City, there are only three families that have the final say. We just need to talk to the three leaders, and the matter will naturally be 70% to 80% settled. As long as the Yunshen Putian is not in the hands of a private person, it should not be difficult to find it.
If it really doesn’t work, then offer a reward or two. It’s just a matter of price. As long as the benefits are high enough, someone will naturally be tempted.
……
The territory of the Great Demon Sect.
A graceful woman in a black dress sat elegantly. She looked extremely young, with skin as white as snow. Her soft black hair was casually tied up with a simple jade hairpin, revealing a hint of charm. Her slightly tilted cheeks had an exquisite beauty.
This woman is Mu Qianqian, the genius disciple of this generation of the Great Demon Sect. Not only does she have an excellent talent for cultivation, she is also naturally charming. Her every frown and smile is enough to move a man’s heart. Many disciples of the entire Great Demon Sect are bewitched by her and go crazy for her.
Standing opposite her was an old man who was obviously much older than Mu Qianqian, but his attitude was extremely humble and respectful.
“Have the people from the Martial Alliance and the Yin Kui Sect arrived?” Mu Qianqian supported her chin with one hand, her charming peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with spring, and her gentle voice was like a charming little hand that made it difficult for people to control themselves.
The old man lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the ground, not daring to look into Mu Qianqian’s eyes at all, for fear of falling into her charm and becoming her puppet and plaything. The Great Demon Sect was not a serious force.
He pondered for a moment, then said respectfully, “The Tenglei of the Yin Gui Sect has arrived. There is no news from the Wu League, but people from the four major clans have also been attracted here. If you want to compete for the inheritance of the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument, you need to be careful.”
“Wu Ci is not an easy person to deal with. Since you haven’t received any news, I think that guy has arrived. He seems reckless on weekdays, but he is actually very thoughtful and is more difficult to deal with than Teng Lei… But this time, people from the four major clans are also here. Those guys are not easy to deal with. Maybe we have to cooperate with Teng Lei and Wu Ci.”
Mu Qianqian’s eyes showed some caution. After a pause, she continued, “Send someone to check and see who has come from the four major clans.”
“I understand.” The old man nodded in response.
“Give me a definite answer within three days, and go down~” Mu Qianqian waved her hand, her gentle voice rippling with tingling charm. It was not intentional on her part, but a kind of charm that was almost instinctive. Just her words were enough to make people’s blood boil. She could be called a master of software hardening, and ordinary young people could not resist it at all.
The old man shuddered and didn’t dare to stay any longer, so he turned around and left.
Mu Qianqian stretched lazily, showing her graceful and enchanting figure. Just when she was about to get up to practice, a strange figure suddenly broke into her field of vision, causing her body to tremble. She instinctively circulated the energy in her body, and a thin sword appeared in her palm.
“If I were you, I would not do anything stupid.” A faint voice came out from the other party’s mouth. The voice seemed to contain an invisible mental force, which instantly suppressed the Yuanli that had just circulated in Mu Qianqian’s body.
How is it possible… Mu Qianqian’s hands and feet were cold. At this moment, she found that she had lost control of the energy in her body. She looked at Yao Yan with horror in her eyes. Who on earth was that person? He could make her lose all her strength with just one sentence, just like an ordinary person.
This kind of strength has never been seen, let alone heard of.
“Sit~” Yao Yan’s figure flashed, and he sat cross-legged in front of Mu Qianqian, looking at her and said lightly. As the word fell, Mu Qianqian knelt in front of Yao Yan like a puppet. At this moment, she not only lost control of the energy in her body, but also the control of her body. This undoubtedly made her feel endless chill and fear in her heart.
“Don’t be nervous. I have no ill will towards you. I’m only here to ask you for a small favor.” Yao Yan’s eyes were calm and his gentle tone had a soothing magic.
Mu Qianqian regained control of her body and energy, but her back felt cold, with a streak of cold sweat on her forehead. She looked at the handsome man in front of her nervously and in awe, not daring to provoke him at all, her voice trembling a little: “I wonder what the lord needs me to do.”
“Help me find a cushion in Dagui City. It looks just like a normal cushion, but it has the function of warming up the spirit. It’s a rare item, right?” Yao Yan gave a rough description and paused. He didn’t forget to offer a bargaining chip: “If you can find it, I can teach you a powerful martial art of creation.”
Creation Martial Arts…
Mu Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat, and the fear in her heart was swept away. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. A martial art of good fortune is enough to make the Great Demon Sect go to war with any force. She swallowed her saliva, still feeling like she was dreaming at this moment, and uttered a word with difficulty: “Okay!”
“If you find it, crush this jade token… I’ll only give you seven days.” Yao Yan raised his hand and condensed a scarlet jade token, leaving a spiritual imprint in it, and handed it to Mu Qianqian.
“As long as this thing is in Dakui City, I will definitely be able to find it.” Mu Qianqian bit her lip and promised.
“I hope you won’t let me down~” Yao Yan threw down a sentence and looked at Mu Qianqian meaningfully. Then his figure disappeared from Mu Qianqian’s sight, as if he had never appeared. Only the red jade plate floating in the air verified that all this was true.
Mu Qianqian watched Yao Yan leave. She felt as if she was drowning. She raised her hands to cover her breasts and gasped for breath. Only by experiencing it personally could she understand the oppression that the handsome young man had just felt. Even if no breath leaked out and they just exchanged a few words, the pressure was enough to break her psychological defenses.
“What level of strong man is this…” There was still a strong fear in Mu Qianqian’s eyes. As she regained her senses, she felt more and more that the other party was terrifying and unfathomable, as if he could wipe out everything of her with just one sentence.
“Could it be from those super powers?” She looked surprised and doubtful, and then she thought of what the other party had told her. What was that Soul-Containing Cushion that could make such a being take action personally? But in just a moment, Mu Qianqian put all those thoughts aside. It would undoubtedly be extremely stupid and ridiculous to play tricks in front of such a strong man.
No matter what the Soul-Enriching Cushion is, it is not something she can get her hands on. The only thing that matters now is getting this done.
A martial art created by nature!
There is only one incomplete martial art of creation in the entire Great Demon Sect.
for a long time.
Mu Qianqian calmed down and began to give orders. Now she was no longer interested in the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument. Instead of taking a chance on the unknown inheritance, she might as well focus all her attention on this matter. At least it was not difficult to accomplish and there was no danger.
……
After arranging things, Yao Yan walked towards the inn at a leisurely pace, just like a boss who left everything to chance. He deliberately chose a secluded path, bathing in the cool moonlight and enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
After getting the Qiankun Ancient Formation, he planned to send the underworld over. After more than two years, the ‘underworld’ has been almost transformed. Then he would use it to send Hun Mie Sheng and his original body in, let them adapt to this world, and help him collect a batch of blood of all spirits.
The path of ‘chaotic body’ must continue.
It’s also time to forge his own Heavenly Emperor Weapon. There are many special materials in the Tianxuan Continent, especially the eight ancestral talismans, which contain the power of the rules of heaven and earth. With this as a prototype, he can completely create the embryo of an unparalleled holy object.
As for what shape to create… As an alchemist, the first choice is naturally the cauldron!
Thinking of this, Yao Yan paused, and a strange look appeared in his eyes, because under the moonlight, a beautiful figure that could make the heaven and earth pale in comparison appeared in front of him, with green lotus supporting exquisite jade feet, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, slowly falling from the sky.
The woman was wearing a light-colored skirt, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin was as white as snow, her waist was as thin as a silk ribbon, and her figure was curvaceous. Her cheeks were covered with tulle, and her eyes were clear and flowing, making her look like a cold and aloof fairy who was not of this world.
Her temperament is almost celestial, rarely seen in the secular world.
At this moment, the icy skin and jade-like bones became a reality.
It’s her… There was a hint of surprise in Yao Yan’s eyes. It was not because he was amazed by the other person’s appearance, but because he recognized the identity of the person, Ling Qingzhu, the Young Palace Master of Jiutian Taiqing Palace. He didn’t expect to meet her here, and he didn’t expect that she would suddenly come to him.
Ling Qingzhu’s crystal-clear eyes fell on Yao Yan, with some doubts and confusion in her eyes. After a long while, she opened her thin lips and said, “Can I have a chat with you~”
Although her voice was soft and pleasant, her expression revealed a coldness that kept people at a distance.
“If you want to chat, come down first~” Yao Yan smiled faintly when he heard it. The plain words seemed to contain some kind of rules. The green lotus under Ling Qingzhu’s feet instantly dissipated, and even the Yuanli in her body seemed to be imprisoned. She fell from mid-air like an ordinary person.
Ling Qingzhu’s eyes were suddenly filled with astonishment. Before she could react, she began to fall freely. Her veil fell with the wind, revealing a cold and beautiful face. Her thin lips were tightly pursed, with a hint of panic that was difficult to conceal. Under Yao Yan’s gaze, she swallowed down her clothes in a miserable manner.
Fortunately, the path that Yao Yan walked on was not paved with stone bricks, but only soft soil and green grass, so Ling Qingzhu was not injured… But as she fell, her white jade feet were instantly covered with dust, and her clothes were also stained, as if she had fallen from the Moon Palace into the mortal world.
Ling Qingzhu had never been so embarrassed before. A trace of bewilderment appeared in her crystal-clear eyes. The pain in her body made her realize what had just happened. Her gaze towards Yao Yan changed immediately. After all, she was not an ordinary person. She quickly adjusted her mentality, endured the pain in her body, climbed up from the ground, and respectfully bowed to Yao Yan: “Greetings, senior, Qingzhu was presumptuous just now.”
“Senior?” It was the first time that Yao Yan was addressed like this. This address was quite novel, and he had no intention of correcting it. He looked at Ling Qingzhu who had fallen into the mortal world in front of him, and his attitude became much better. He asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
Ling Qingzhu hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “I wonder if Qingzhu can stay with you for a while?”
Yao Yan heard this and immediately looked at Ling Qingzhu in a strange way. He was still entangled with her?! (End of this chapter)
