Volume 6 Chapter 125: Gathering at Black Emperor Cliff (Part 6)

"Can you find my master?"

At this moment, Zhang Ningmei was worried about how to find Xu Qingfan, since they only knew he disappeared near "Ronghua Mountain." The Shenzhou Continent is so big, where should they start looking? So, after hearing Bai Qingfu say that, Zhang Ningmei quickly stopped Ting’er, who was losing patience over worrying about Xu Qingfan, and asked Bai Qingfu.

Bai Qingfu smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, as long as we go to the places that Xu Qingfan has been, I can find him."

Hearing Bai Qingfu say this, a flash of joy appeared in Ting’er’s eyes, as she was very eager to find Xu Qingfan.

However, in the next moment, Ting’er’s eyes hardened again, and she asked, "What method do you have to find my uncle?"

Bai Qingfu glanced at Ting’er, with a slight bitter smile on his lips, and said slowly, "You are called Ting’er, right? I have learned a bit about your situation. If it were normal times, I truly could not find Junior Martial Brother Xu Qingfan. But now, Junior Brother Xu has gone mad, and since you have been assimilated by the ‘Demonic Pearl’, I can roughly find his location by following the resonance of the demonic energy between you two."

"Do you really have this kind of skill?"

Bai Yu asked in disbelief. Not only Bai Yu, but even Lv Qingshang, who knew Bai Qingfu a bit better, looked at Bai Qingfu in shock. Such a delicate sense of the world’s energy was something only a true master should possess.

Bai Qingfu slowly explained, "You all know that I used to be a creation under Zhang Xusheng, and he has experimented on me more than once. Therefore, some of the abilities I have are not just the ones you know."

After saying this, there was no hint of pride, only a deep bitterness.

Wang Zegang looked deeply at Bai Qingfu and saw that the expression in Bai Qingfu’s eyes seemed genuine. However, he still asked, "The reason why you two Taoist friends stayed behind secretly cannot be just to take us to find Taoist Friend Xu Qingfan, right?"

Bai Qingfu shook his head and said, "Of course not. We have our own purpose. This matter is somewhat related to Junior Martial Brother Xu Qingfan, but basically, it’s unrelated. To find Junior Martial Brother Xu Qingfan, we need to start near where he disappeared at ‘Ronghua Mountain’, and my junior brother Lv and I also have business at ‘Ronghua Mountain’. Since that’s the case, why not travel together?"

Dongfang Qingling walked over to Ting’er and softly said, "Since that’s the case, let’s bring them along. Finding Senior Brother Xu’s whereabouts is the most important, and although these two are strong, they are definitely not our opponents. If any accidents occur, I’m sure just the two of them won’t stir up much trouble."

Ting’er frowned, seemingly uncomfortable with being so close to Dongfang Qingling, but after thinking for a moment, she slowly nodded in agreement.

Just as Ting’er was gently retracting the swirling black flames around her, a vast yellow cloud appeared from the distant horizon, growing larger and larger until it reached above everyone’s heads. It was Zhang Ningmei’s spirit pet, Little Yellow.

"Let’s all get on Little Yellow’s back. It flies the fastest, and it can take us to ‘Ronghua Mountain’ in less than ten days."

Before everyone could nod in agreement, an excited howl came from afar. Soon after, Little Green arrived at their location. It was clear that it missed Ting’er. Even though they had been apart for a short time, it joyfully ran in circles around Ting’er, as if they had been reunited after a hundred years.

Ting’er smiled helplessly; Little Green was the only one she couldn’t get angry with. After calming Little Green’s excitement, everyone flew to Little Yellow’s back. Zhang Ningmei stood at Little Yellow’s neck, gently touching the yellow feathers on its head. Little Yellow immediately understood Zhang Ningmei’s meaning and quickly spread its wings, flying towards ‘Ronghua Mountain.’

Little Yellow was large, and even with nine people and three spirit pets of different sizes sitting on its back, there was still plenty of space. It flew quickly and steadily, making the scenery around them blur into shadow, disappearing from sight in no time. It felt like there was a protective shield around them; despite the fast speed, no one felt even a little breeze.

At that moment, everyone was either worried about Xu Qingfan or Jiuhua, each lost in their thoughts. They sat in silence on Little Yellow’s back. Only Bai Qingfu was chatting with Zhang Ningmei one moment, then talking to Bai Yu or the Tian Zhenxian Tian Zhenling brothers the next. In a short time, he learned most of what had happened to Xu Qingfan over the years.

The journey was quiet.

Just as Zhang Ningmei had said, Little Yellow was incredibly fast and had great endurance. It traveled at full speed for a whole ten days without stopping. Previously, when they traveled with the Righteous Alliance, it took nearly thirty days to reach ‘Black Glory Valley’ from ‘Ronghua Mountain.’ Yet now, riding on Little Yellow, they arrived in only eight or nine days. The towering and dangerous ‘Ronghua Mountain’ had already appeared in the distance.

They landed near ‘Ronghua Mountain.’ Lv Qingshang and Bai Qingfu exchanged a glance, then Lv Qingshang clasped his hands and said to everyone, "Junior Martial Brother Xu Qingfan’s whereabouts will be sought by Brother Bai and you all. I have other important matters to attend to and must take my leave now."

However, just as Lv Qingshang finished speaking, Ting’er firmly said, "No, who knows what tricks you might play? You must help me find my uncle before you leave."

Because of her worries about Xu Qingfan, Ting’er spoke much more often these days, quietly becoming the leader of this small group. However, due to her anxiety, she also became quite domineering in her ways.

Seeing Ting’er oppose him, Lv Qingshang smiled bitterly and said, "Ting’er, you could say you are also my niece. Junior Brother Xu and I are both disciples of Jiuhua, and you know our friendship well. How could I go after Junior Brother Xu?"

Before Ting’er could say anything, Wang Zegang’s voice already came from behind Lv Qingshang.

"That Gongsun Huasa is also a Jiuhua cultivator like Taoist Friend Xu, but when he plotted against Taoist Friend Xu the other day, he didn’t seem to care about any brotherly ties."

Hearing Wang Zegang’s voice, Lv Qingshang was startled, realizing he hadn’t even noticed when Wang Zegang had silently appeared behind him, cutting off his path. Such skill was truly remarkable.

Looking at the stubbornness on Ting’er’s face and the wariness on the faces of the others, Lv Qingshang could only smile wryly. It seemed that after these few days together, Ting’er and the others still did not trust him.

Although it was wise to be cautious given the current situation, since cultivators’ hatred for demon cultivators is beyond words, being careful about someone like himself was a different matter.

Turning to Dongfang Qingling, who he knew well, Lv Qingshang hoped he could say something nice for him. But he saw that Dongfang Qingling looked lost in thought, completely unaware of the current situation.

Watching the situation come to a standstill, Zhang Ningmei used a secret communication technique to whisper something to everyone. Bai Yu and the others showed surprise in their eyes, while Ting’er’s suspicion and wariness lessened a bit.

Recently, Zhang Ningmei has been thinking about Lv Qingshang and Bai Qingfu’s intentions. Considering the current situation, she has guessed their purposes quite accurately and knows that they will not harm Xu Qingfan.

After thinking for a long time, Ting’er nodded to Wang Zegang, but then she saw Wang Zegang’s figure flicker, and the next moment he had already returned to Ting’er and the other two elder martial sisters.

Lv Qingshang’s smile grew bitter; Ting’er only cared about Xu Qingfan and truly did not give him, the martial uncle, any respect at all.

Though feeling helpless inside, Lv Qingshang still politely clasped his hands together towards everyone and, without hesitation, quickly flew towards "Ronghua Mountain."

After Lv Qingshang left, Ting’er turned to Bai Qingfu and said, "Now, please aid us, white martial uncle, in finding my uncle’s whereabouts."
