Chapter 127 One Who Invites Trouble (1/2)

He could only return to the mountain gates and seek help from Zhang Ruoxu. Even though the chief had clearly ordered not to return to the mountains before achieving Huandan, this matter was too urgent to care about other things.

Shen Lian noticed that the three ladies had high level of achievements, plus that piece of rope-looking mystical instrument, it should be associated with the Immortal Zhenren. Even though he was armed with the Divine Qi of Taixu, facing opponents of such level, he would not let anyone take Ruoxi away, or else he’d be consumed with guilt…

Moreover, the lady in yellow robe mentioned that Ruoxi was the reincarnation of Yuan Jun, which was quite mysterious. Shen Lian knew of certain mystical techniques which could transform a person’s body into a different one to prevent catastrophes, which should be like the case of Ruoxi.

Mastering this kind of technique would require the person’s body to have that vast size of capacity and well matured to succeed. Therefore Ruoxi should not be in danger as of now.

Whether his assumption was true or not, he would need to make a trip back to the mountain gates to find out, although he was not certain if he could make it past the gates, since the chief had ordered him not to return before achieving the level of Huandan.

Shen Lian had made up his mind, he would not return to Shendu, since there was nothing he would miss there. However he had just mastered the Divine Qi of Taixu, and still required more time for exploration and refinement. Nevertheless, his current flying speed could enable him to turn back to Qing Xuan in three to five days, therefore he still had some time to spend.

At that moment, the sky had broken dawn in the east, purple mist arisen. Seeing such view, Shen Lian felt much comfort in his chest.

He let out a long howl, so loud it shook the wilderness, pierced through the skies and sent a flock of birds flying.

Fortunately, there was no one around, so he didn’t fear to be heard as some monster or demon.

As if a dash of smoke, he merged with the sea of clouds above. With his Divine Qi of Taixu, as if he had let off a thousand tonne burden, he could not experience the high of ”Exceeding the levels of clouds and skies”.

Shen Lian flew to the South Sea, and as he was going to cruise towards the direction of Qing Xuan, a familiar voice was heard from below calling his name.

Shen Lian looked down. Then he landed on a boulder, at which not far in front, there was a good looking Daoist child, standing on the waves. That was Jing Qing Tongzi.

Jing Qing briefly examined Shen Lian, and smiled, ”I wouldn’t imagine that you have improved this much”. It was as if he was looking at Biyun Zhenren and Ziling Fairy from the earlier days. As for Gu Caiwei to achieve the Divine Qi of Taixu, it was not difficult for her as Biyun Zhenren and Ziling Fairy helped her a lot in that manner.

For a demon being like Jing Qing Tongzi with such a long lifespan, Shen Lian knew that the past one year was only as long as a nap. He asked, ”Why are you here?”

”On the order of the chief, I was waiting for you here since yesterday,” Jing Qing Tongzi said.

Shen Lian mumbled, ”Chief Master already knew what happened to me?” He was not surprised because the chief could know everything with his prophesying, which could even be better than that of the Immortal Zhenren.

Jing Qing replied, ”Chief Master said that whatever it is you want to ask about, Qing Xuan cannot get involved in, but you do not have to worry about that child. If you still want to continue meddling with this matter, you can only return and ask him after achieving Huandan level.”

Shen Lian then said, ”I wanted to return only because I had this question in mind. Since the Chief Master had this in calculation, then I shall not return to the mountains. How is the chief? Is he well?”
