Chapter 413: Journey in Both Directions
Qingming Valley Entrance.
Qiao Mu held the body of the leader of Xuantian Sect and fell from the sky.
His body gradually returned to its normal size in midair, crashing down on the ground and kicking up a swirl of dust and smoke.
At that moment, there was still a deathly silence all around, and the sound of the impact was especially clear.
"The leader of Xuantian Sect is dead," said Qiao Mu expressionlessly as he released the body he was holding, speaking each word clearly:
"The killers are from the Qiao family, Qiao Qijin."
"If you seek revenge, remember my name."
His voice trailed off.
The Xuantian Sect cultivators who were still at the valley entrance, including Elder Yao Yin who had been by the leader’s side, all had shocked expressions.
Then, each of them used their teleportation skills, transforming into streaks of rainbow light shooting up into the sky, heading deeper into the Qingming Mountain range.
The leader of the Soul Changing Stage sect died in front of them. They would only feel safe if they returned to a sect protected by the Mountain Protection Formation.
After saying these words, Qiao Mu turned silently and walked towards Qiao Canxue and the others.
Before Qiao Canxue could speak, the fat cat in her arms suddenly meowed and pounced towards his face. He caught it with one hand, allowing the fat cat to lick his shoulder furiously.
Qiao Mu took this opportunity to gently rub the fat cat’s round belly with one hand.
His hand felt soft and warm, with the smoothness of the belly and the silky touch of the cat’s fur.
After a few touches, one would almost want to press their face against it and give it a big hug.
The cat nuzzling the person, and the person nuzzling the cat, it was a two-way affection that was delightful and heartwarming.
Unknowingly, the complex negative emotions that had lingered for two thousand five hundred years faded away a bit.
A swift green shadow passed by, with the Jingwei Bird Qing Li following closely, circling above Qiao Mu’s head with grace.
Qiao Canxue’s eyelids were trembling slightly, she tried hard to open them, but in the end had to give up again.
Could only stand silently on the side, sensing the Qiao family member in front of her with her mind, silently sensing his cat-like appearance.
Look again now.
The tiredness that seemed to come from deep within Qiao Qijin’s face just disappeared completely.
This, of course, didn’t mean all his weariness was gone, just hidden and not shown.
Adults don’t show their weaknesses and negative emotions on their faces, but that doesn’t mean they are invincible.
"Senior Qiao… My condolences," Qiao Canxue squeezed out these words.
The Qiao Qijin in front of her changed her understanding of the Qiao family member, leaving her momentarily speechless.
But some doubts also arose in her mind.
More than one Qiao family member made her eyes have the same disorder. Does this mean that this mysterious and powerful martial arts family in Jiu Province has a great secret behind them?
"Hmm." Qiao Mu simply nodded to Qiao Canxue, Lingling Taoist Priest, and the others.
"I have important matters to attend to. Until we meet again, if fate allows."
"Spiritual Farmer in this valley, I ask you to take care of them or take them away from this place, to avoid being harmed by the remaining cult of the Xuantian Sect cultivators."
He indeed had urgent matters that couldn’t wait.
Lingling Taoist Priest looked surprised.
"Most mortals are dull and short-sighted. If we were to take care of them, they would likely think it was our credit. Are you really going to leave like this?"
Qiao Mu paused slightly and said:
"No one in this world will go to their death for someone else’s thanks or gratitude. What use is their gratitude to me?"
Qiao Mu seemed like a good person on the surface, but it wasn’t the right time.
The Three Hundred Immortal Slaying Army is seeking help, and he had to travel a long distance, but besides that, there were other important matters.
"It’s not the right time yet, do you really think things will end like this?"
This question made Lingling Taoist Priest’s body and spirit tremble slightly, hinting at a possibility.
The leader of one of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates sects, a generation’s Soul Changing Taoist Lord, passed away. To Lingling Taoist Priest, it seemed like a major event.
But looking at it from the perspective of immortal cultivators, what happens next after this major event is actually more crucial.
If the Soul Changing Taoist Lord died at Qiao Mu’s hands, what about the remaining Xuantian Sect cultivators and the Xuantian Sect itself?
The leader of Southwest Province Yunxiao Sect passed away, but left behind a dharma body to deceive others with lies.
His dharma body was crafted from the soul and blood of Jingwei’s descendants, a feat that other Soul Changing Taoist Lords couldn’t achieve.
This can only be done one way, not two.
And this time, when the leader of Xuantian Sect died, who could handle such a dramatic change?
Lingling Taoist Priest didn’t stop him anymore, she just stood at the valley entrance silently watching Qiao Mu’s figure go into the distance.
"This is the leader of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates…" Lingling Taoist Priest couldn’t help but think to herself:
"Could it be that in my lifetime, I will witness the decline of Xuantian Sect?"
Earth Origin Temple was the loser in the turmoil of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the past, and they were bitter enemies with Xuantian Sect, one of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, which can be said to have destroyed their tradition.
She had a feeling that when Qiao Mu left, it would surely lead to great changes.
The conflict between the immortals and mortals in Nan Province had already reached its peak during the Southern Army’s attack on the mountains and temples.
And now, with the Immortal Sect Leader’s death, it was unknown where this war would lead, and what would happen to the other Immortal Gates in Jiu Province…
…………………………………………………….
Ape City.
Elder Cangyang looked casually at the ruins of the Taoist temple beneath his feet.
Although the three hundred Immortal Slaying Army cooperated seamlessly and trained to possess true strength, they still fell short.
Being a Nascent Soul cultivator, after all, is a senior figure within the Nine Immortal Gates, holding real power at the top level.
In the absence of the Soul Changing Taoist Lord, the Nascent Soul cultivator is already the highest-level cultivator within the Nine Immortal Gates.
Once he made a move, the battle quickly became one-sided.
If someone hadn’t intervened, he would have retired victorious long ago.
"When did a great demon appear in Jiu Province again? Haha, is it a jade essence spirit?"
Elder Cangyang held a ball of electric light in his hand, weaving it into a spherical prison, trapping a jade woman inside.
Even though Wang Songhe had planned ahead, he was not a devil with all his schemes calculated perfectly.
Jade Mountain Girl guarded another neighboring city, being the earliest reinforcements to arrive.
"These days, even rare treasures have become sentient beings, coming to us willingly. This must be our chance."
Elder Cangyang chuckled, about to make a move, but suddenly furrowed his brow, staring at the Message Jade Talisman in his hand, frozen on the spot.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he should not have made such a big mistake on the brink of battle, but the message from the sect was just too unbelievable…
To think they said the sect leader’s Life Jade Slip shattered? And they wanted him to rush back to the sect?
…
