No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Qingan heard a shout that broke through his defenses.
"Li Qingan!"
"Stop shouting, I'm going up to check it out, do you want to come with me?"
Li Qingan turned his head, extended his hand to Jin Ping'er, and asked.
Jin Ping'er looked at Li Qing'an's outstretched hand and then murmured softly, "That's more like it!"
She took a few steps forward and said stubbornly, "Let me tell you, I came up with you not for any other reason than out of curiosity. What are the wonders of this enormous sacred tree?"
Jin Ping'er felt a bit like she was trying to hide something.
Li Qingan looked at Jin Ping'er and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
For some reason, Jin Ping'er, the young sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, was so transparent to him.
However, Li Qingan said that this is not bad either.
He laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you're just curious, you don't actually want to come with me!"
"But the treasure within this Dead Swamp is right up there! I'll take you to see it!"
After saying that, Li Qingan wrapped his arms around her waist, and with a 'whoosh', he transformed into a streak of azure light and shot upwards.
Just as Li Qing'an looked up, wary of the branches that might appear at any moment, Jin Ping'er, nestled in his arms, revealed a triumphant smile.
The roles of hunter and prey can change at any time.
Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er are nothing special.
Apart from the immense pressure Lu Xueqi brought her, the rest were insignificant.
The Hehuan Sect is masters at stealing men!
.....
Meanwhile, the people from Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley, who had just passed through the wall of miasma and were still catching their breath, were dealing with the overwhelming swarms of poisonous insects rushing towards them and the demonic cultists hiding in the shadows.
Qin Wuyan alone played the Demon Control Flute, which made a whistling sound, commanding countless giant swamp ants to attack the Qingyun Sect disciples.
Fortunately, Lu Xueqi wasn't there, otherwise Qin Wuyan might have already escaped.
Meanwhile, the Hehuan Sect disciples that Jin Ping'er was with were also stopping the bald monk from Tianyin Temple.
Li Xun of Fenxiang Valley was repeatedly defeated by the Killing Monk and Yan Hui, who were under Gui Li's command.
Just as the two sides were fighting back and forth, a loud roar, like the howl of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, suddenly came from the depths of the Dead Swamp, from afar.
The sound was so loud that even the Buddhist roar of Tianyin Temple was no match for it, and it was not even worthy of being compared with it.
In an instant, a gale howled, and the clouds in the sky changed and surged in a short time, with the vapor rising layer by layer like surging waves.
Both the righteous and demonic factions stopped fighting and stared blankly into the distance.
Right before everyone's eyes, deep within the Dead Swamp, where Li Qing'an was located—a place where only a blurry giant shadow could be seen—a dazzling golden light suddenly rose up.
It gradually became brighter and larger.
In the end, it formed a towering pillar of light, several meters high, accompanied by a continuous booming sound.
Under the illumination of that golden beam of light, everything above and below—trees, birds, and beasts—was bathed in gold.
However, before long, the vast scene vanished without a trace, leaving only darkness and an indistinct mist.
Without a doubt, this is a sign of the birth of a rare treasure.
See this.
Qin Wuyan and Xiao Yicai then gave up the idea of continuing the fight. Almost the instant the golden pillar of light disappeared, all sides flew in that direction.
However, the beam of light was so enormous that its exact location could not be determined; we could only search for it by following the clues.
It was in another part of the Dead Swamp.
Looking at the towering pillar of light, Youji unconsciously uttered, "When golden light appears, the Yellow Bird will surely emerge!"
"This yellow bird is an ancient mythical beast. Can we really defeat it?"
Qinglong smiled slightly: "Third sister, there's no need to worry. The sect leader has prepared everything this time, how could it not succeed?"
Youji remained silent for a while, then stopped speaking.
What she was worried about was not the sect leader's scheme, but the variable—the person who acted entirely on their own whims.
Or perhaps, her little man—Li Qing'an.
She still remembered that ten years ago, he could cut off a section of the Black Water Serpent's tail with a single sword strike, let alone now, ten years later.
The Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird are mortal enemies, and their strength is comparable.
This shows that taming the Yellow Bird is not so simple.
Chapter 195 The Treasure Trove of Heaven and Earth!
Li Qing'an and Jin Ping'er sped upwards at breakneck speed, with the wind rushing in their faces and the thick fog obscuring their vision!
"The world is so vast, there are truly countless wonders!"
Along the way, Li Qing'an first looked at the colorful flowers blooming on the tree trunks and branches, and then rushed out of the thick fog.
In an instant, the world opened up before us!
Li Qing'an released Jin Ping'er and stood high in the sky.
The sky and earth were a deep blue, without a single cloud in sight, the sky was clear and blue, but beneath my feet was a vast expanse of white.
Looking up, you still see tree trunks hundreds of feet thick, stretching straight towards the sky.
Below is a scene shrouded in thick fog.
There's only one sentence that can describe it:
Nature bestows its most wondrous beauty, dividing day and night with yin and yang!
It stretches as far as the eye can see, boundless and endless, with only a faint shadow in the depths of the blue sky!
Upon witnessing such a scene, who wouldn't set aside their inner turmoil and feel a surge of heroic spirit!
Li Qingan once again leaped forward along the tree trunk, letting the damp and cold air flow past his ears!
Jin Ping'er followed behind him.
They flew upwards for several dozen feet and arrived at a fork in the tree branches.
Without much hesitation, Li Qingan flew towards the branch on the left.
As they continued flying, Li Qing'an noticed that the vines twining around the branches had become thicker, and countless flowers were in full bloom.
Even the concentration of spiritual energy is countless times better than when it was at the tree roots!
Suddenly, Li Qing'an's speeding body came to a stop.
The tree trunk in front of us is completely entwined with countless vines, and the flowers are vying for attention, forming a dense wall of flowers.
In the midst of that sea of flowers, a stone gate stands resolutely, five zhang high and three zhang wide, embedded firmly into the tree trunks, with the exposed thick boulder bearing four large characters in ancient seal script.
"The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury?"
"Is this where the treasures within the Dead Swamp are located? I wonder what treasures they contain?"
With curiosity in her eyes, Jin Ping'er suddenly bypassed Li Qing'an and stepped forward to examine the stone gate carefully, her face full of emotion.
As she walked closer and closer to the stone gate, Jin Ping'er herself also perked up!
As a member of the Demonic Sect, she knew very well that when facing powerful magical treasures, deceit and treachery were merely the basics of black and white, and the intertwining of interests and betrayal was just adding color to that foundation!
She wasn't interested in the treasures among the strange artifacts, after all, she hadn't even taken the Hehuan Bell from Li Qing'an yet.
But she wondered, between a demonic sorceress who might steal his treasure and a powerful treasure.
Which one would Li Qingan prefer?
She was curious, but also a little worried!
Li Qingan saw through her thoughts at a glance, remained silent, and did not stop her.
Although the relationship between the two cannot withstand tests and doubts.
But isn't that between husband and wife?
He and Jin Ping'er could probably cross the distance between friends and lovers with just a thought.
Moreover, Li Qingan bullied her even more during those ten years.
Therefore, Li Qing'an let him go forward.
More importantly, someone has arrived!
Seeing that Li Qing'an didn't react much, Jin Ping'er felt relieved and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to stop walking.
A voice, cold as ice yet carrying a murderous aura, rang out:
"A demonic sorceress also wants to covet this extraordinary treasure?"
Jin Ping'er turned her head and saw that there was another figure.
Dressed in white like snow, with aloofness and purity in her eyes, she was as simple and elegant as a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains!
It was Lu Xueqi.
Even Xiao Luo, who was originally following Xiao Huan, was brought over by Lu Xueqi.
This was what Li Qingan said telepathically when Lu Xueqi used the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique that night.
Tell her to bring Xiao Luo along.
He suddenly remembered that there was a treasure in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury that was related to a spirit beast.
The Blackwater Serpent traveled tens of thousands of miles to reach the Death Swamp for the Heavenly Nether Stone.
Zhang Xiaofan's Little Gray was originally taken advantage of right under the noses of the two powerful spirit beasts, the Yellow Bird and the Black Water Serpent.
Thus, he gained extremely powerful strength, able to change size at will, and the three-eyed monkey's supernatural abilities were gradually developed.
