Chapter 178 Qingxiao (2/2)
Shen Lian roared, and after a while, Qianmo and Xiaoxun flew over from afar. One man, two birds, rode on the wind headed towards one direction.
Shen Lian did not intend to return to Jingguang Temple, or to say goodbye to Song Qingyi.
Even though the danger in Jingguang Temple remained, Shen Lian believed that Song Qingyi could handle it.
If he could not even overcome this small obstacle, how could he be the successor of Lu Jiuyuan?
Shen Lian was willing to make friends, but he did not hope that after a few hundred years, these friends were miles apart from him. When Song Qingyi started to call him Senior Apprentice-Brother Shen, it was because of the difference in cultivation level. Only the heart could remain unchanged, and not the world.

Outside the kingdom of Hanhai, where Shen Lian first fought the Mirage Demon in the desert. A Daoist who was dressed in blood-colored robe appeared. Under the moonlight, his face was unclear, or one could say he did not have a face.
If anyone paid attention to the faceless Daoist, one could see his face was in fact covered with illusions. He was occasionally adolescent, middle age and all of a sudden he could be old. Sometimes he looked like a bearded man; sometimes without a beard; sometimes well educated; sometimes like a thug.
A Jingzhu fell from the sky when he appeared. The desert had no Qi of vitality or water, but as the Jingzhu fell to the ground, a sea of bamboos was born. The faceless Daoist was trapped within.
After going through several changes in his face, he turned into a young Daoist dressed in light green robe. He looked rather handsome but had thin lips, which made him look like someone heartless.
He looked rather pale, but he did not seem to be worried to be trapped in the bamboo sea.
Outside the sea of bamboos, a girl dressed in green Daoist robe appeared. He could feel her cold hard stare even through the bamboo branches and leaves.
The girl said, ”You can’t escape today, Yanxu.”
Yanxu stared at the girl in green. It was his Aunt-Master, Ziling Fairy, who was one of the most powerful Daoist in the world.
This girl had been chasing after him for five years in order to kill him. He dared not to relax but to stay hidden in the crowds.
It was the worst day for Yanxu in his life. Few hundred years ago, he would not have imagined this could happen.
It seemed that even if he could turn back time, nothing could be changed.
For anyone who knew Ziling Fairy, when she was dressed in green, it meant she was under the influence another personality.
She was not a swordsman, but under the influence of this personality, her swordcraft was incredible, and sometimes even exceeding those of a swordsman. This personality also had a name – Qingxiao. This was told to her by Biyun.
