Chapter 414: The Fate of a Qiao Family Member Is Still Fate (1)
Qingming Medicine Valley.
After Qiao Mu left, Lingling Taoist Priest and Qiao Canxue, together with their master, had a smooth journey.
The tens of thousands of Spiritual Farmers mostly believed in the Xuantian Sect.
As long as Qiao Canxue and the others acted like Xuantian Sect immortals, and showed a little bit of their "magical techniques," the Spiritual Farmers naturally worshipped them, which was easier than herding thousands of cattle and sheep.
They didn’t leave, but found a cave in the valley to stay temporarily.
It was not easy to settle the tens of thousands of Spiritual Farmers, and with the Xuantian Sect cultivators having fled, they might not have time to attend to Qingming Medicine Valley for a while.
Qiao Canxue and the others did not take credit for themselves; instead, they tried to explain the causes and consequences of the sudden changes in Qingming Medicine Valley that day, as well as the events involving the Qiao family members…
Qiao Canxue mainly handled this process.
Lingling Taoist Priest, who should have been in charge, seemed distracted at the moment.
The majestic Nascent Soul cultivator kept getting distracted during the process.
"Canyon, oh." Lingling Taoist Priest furrowed her brow, no longer smiling as before, her eyes looking dull:
"Do you think that Qiao family member…Qiao Qijin, can really defeat the Soul Changing Taoist Lord of the immortal cultivation world?"
Qiao Canxue was slightly startled, turned her head and closed her eyes, looking towards her.
Lingling Taoist Priest continued, "I understand what you’re thinking, but even though Xuantian Sect’s leader is powerful, his spirit has been injured for two years and hasn’t fully recovered, not in the best condition for a Soul Changing cultivator."
"And even though Qiao Qijin killed him, it was actually a sneak attack."
"With the strength of the Soul Changing Taoist Lord and the profound skills of a generation’s sect leader, if they switched places, their fates would be unpredictable, wouldn’t they?"
"Just like an assassin among ordinary people killing a martial arts expert, it doesn’t mean that the assassin’s martial arts skills are superior to the expert’s…"
"Canyon, what do you think?" Lingling Taoist Priest rambled on:
"If we were to investigate further, Qiao Shuangxin was also a great martial artist in the world, but was tricked to death by the leader of Xuantian Sect without needing to use any spells."
"If we were to say that Qiao Qijin’s strength is far above that of a Soul Changing cultivator, then wouldn’t the strength of the Xuantian Sect’s leader be even greater than Qiao Shuangxin’s?"
"Moreover, if Xuantian Taoist Lord did not have the intention to take away the Qingming Cave Small World, if it was Qiao Qijin instead, it would be difficult for him to escape death as well, wouldn’t it?"
"Therefore, the strength of Xuantian Sect’s leader is greater than Qiao Qijin’s, but he still died at Qiao Qijin’s hands."
Lingling Taoist Priest became more confused as she spoke.
"Therefore, Qiao Qijin’s strength is below that of the immortal Taoist Lord, yet above the immortal Taoist Lord…"
At this moment, she felt that the immortal Taoist Lord who cultivated the immortal path was powerful, with limitless spells, and should not have died at the hands of a martial artist. It was just a mishap that he didn’t get a chance to show his true abilities.
At another moment, she felt relieved that Xuantian Sect’s leader had died, happy to see this scene unfold.
Qiao Canxue pondered for a long time.
She actually realized that Lingling Taoist Priest didn’t suddenly become interested in fighting violently, but was deeply shocked by this event and couldn’t accept it.
This event was too shocking for her as a descendant of the Earth Origin Temple, causing chaos in her mind, making it difficult for her to come to terms with it.
She naturally wanted to see the leader of the Xuantian Sect dead, but his death at the hands of a mortal martial artist was truly shocking to her as a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Qiao Canxue then said:
"Master is right, but even so, didn’t the Xuantian Sect’s leader die at the hands of Qiao Qijin?"
Lingling Taoist Priest was surprised.
Qiao Canxue did not argue with her about the issue of who was stronger or weaker.
The death of the Xuantian Sect’s leader was indeed an undeniable fact.
After all….
The powerful Soul Changing Taoist Lord, who can hide from his powerful spiritual awareness?
Just by piercing through the protective robe of the Soul Changing cultivator, it’s something that even Nascent Soul cultivator Lingling Taoist Priest can’t compare to.
In other words, setting aside who is stronger, the fact that someone from the martial artist world killed the Soul Changing Taoist Lord is like a huge earthquake in the cultivation world.
These words woke Lingling Taoist Priest up from her confusion, making her smile slightly.
"Your reminder actually made me remember something else."
Lingling Taoist Priest pondered:
"The Leader of Yunxiao Sect in Southwest Province, supposedly died at the hands of a Qiao family member, but the news was debunked shortly after."
"Looking back now, there might be another secret behind this?"
Lingling Taoist Priest’s mind was foggy for a moment.
…………………..
Ape City.
Elder Cangyang’s face was as still as water.
He was a bit undecided at the moment…The news from the sect was just too strange.
The sect leader had died, and now among the surviving Nascent Soul Elders in the sect, it seemed that only he and Elder Yao Yin remained?
What a joke, how could this mid-level Nascent Soul Elder suddenly become one of the pillars of Xuantian Sect?
It sounded truly absurd.
But at this critical moment, who else would spread such false news?
"Well then, I better keep some tricks up my sleeves," Elder Cangyang resolved in his mind.
Three hundred Immortal Slaying Army soldiers have fallen on the battlefield, and Jade Mountain Girl is no match for him. She is struggling under his thunderous attack.
But at this moment, he had a different idea in mind. Instead of killing her, he was considering capturing her alive.
"If the information is true, it’s better to hold back than to completely break ties."
"If it’s false… capturing her alive would still be an accomplishment, just a bit more time-consuming."
Elder Cangyang waved his sleeves, causing a strong wind to swirl and sweep the old soldiers into his sleeves.
The jade woman trapped in the thunderous light held on for nearly half an hour before finally being defeated and swept away by the sleeves.
"It’s a perfect opportunity to restore the image of the gods, so that the mortals here know that immortals cannot be dishonored!"
Elder Cangyang stood on a cloud, barely finishing one thought before suddenly being struck by inspiration…
He was about to stop and think for a moment, when suddenly he heard a loud screaming sound in the distance, followed by a bright flash of a sword…
"Wait!" Elder Cangyang shouted.
He shook his sleeve, and the three hundred soldiers he hid inside, along with Jade Mountain Girl, reappeared on the flat ground below.
The sword’s light shifted slightly, breaking his protective golden shield with a whistle, then narrowly missed him, making him break into a cold sweat.
"Is it really a member of the Qiao family… Could it be that there’s trouble with the sect leader?"
As Elder Cangyang’s mind raced with various thoughts, he saw a young man with white hair pointing the King Qin Sword at him.
"At least someone is smart among the many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Xuantian Sect," remarked the young man with white hair indifferently.
"Lead the way to your Xuantian Sect’s sect," he commanded.
Elder Cangyang’s eyes widened for a moment, a loud noise resounded in his head, and his last shred of hope vanished.
So they planned to make this Nascent Soul Elder lead the way, suggesting they might be heading to the sect’s headquarters?
After hearing this sentence, Elder Cangyang realized that their sect leader may have truly passed away.
Qiao Mu turned his head to look at the old soldiers and the jade woman on the ground.
After confirming their condition, he nodded and said:
"My name is Qiao Qijin."
"You all have gone through a tough battle and should rest here."
"I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will leave first." After saying that, Qiao Mu turned his head to urge Elder Cangyang to stand up.
This gaze made Elder Cangyang feel nervous.
Just as he was about to leave.
He saw a rainbow light appearing in the distance, getting closer.
"Wait!"
Surprisingly, Qiao Mu actually stopped and turned to look at the approaching person, which was beyond Elder Cangyang’s expectations.
"Could it be the reinforcement from my Xuantian Sect…?" Just as Elder Cangyang thought of this, he saw South King, Wang Songhe, walking out from the rainbow light.
This person is the supported South King of Xuantian Sect and the Medicine Man under Elder Yaoyang. Naturally, they knew each other.
"Senior Qiao, please stay." Wang Songhe hurriedly said.
At this moment, Wang Songhe’s spirit had returned to his body, but his face was a bit pale.
The bandits Zhang Kui and others were waiting around Qingming Valley, carrying his body. Once the matters in the valley were settled, with Lingling Taoist Priest’s help, Wang Songhe’s spirit returned to his body, which was not difficult.
"What’s the matter?" Qiao Mu asked calmly.
Having just come out of the two thousand five hundred years Long Life Dream, he appeared a bit more reserved and spoke sparingly.
