But she knew the smell of blood all too well; the purple light flashed and disappeared in the darkness.
Jin Ping'er followed the smell of blood to the burial site of the fish-man chieftain.
"this?"
Jin Ping'er looked at the smooth wound on the body, and then looked around, but there wasn't a single trace left.
All of this indicates that the person who killed the fishman was extremely powerful.
Moreover, there are people keeping an eye on this fish-man race.
Jin Ping'er frowned, trying to find a trace of something in the surroundings.
She couldn't find a single clue from the wound.
The only option is to wander around until you reach a certain place.
Jin Ping'er made a hand seal and collected a very faint scent from afar, which was similar to someone she knew, but also somewhat different.
Even so, she was certain it was that person.
Jin Ping'er's face showed a hint of joy. Why didn't Li Qing'an return to Qingyun Sect and came to Southern Xinjiang? Was he worried about her safety, or was he going to give the Hehuan Bell to her?
Before she could think it over, she turned and hid in the shadows, quietly leaving.
Suddenly, the two inside the ancient temple smelled a bloody odor, their expressions changed drastically, and they took to the air, flying towards the outside of the temple.
On the other side, another figure flew over from not far away, with a dark stick under its feet that shimmered with a blue light.
Looking in that direction, it was indeed that ancient temple.
......
Huqishan, Ghost King Sect.
Beneath the desolate mountains lies the true headquarters of the Ghost King Sect.
In a dense, winding tunnel, in a secluded and quiet place, there was no one.
Yu Ji, her face veiled in black, moved ethereally forward alone.
This place has become the training ground of the Ghost King Sect. Many disciples with high cultivation levels come here when they need to break through their cultivation levels.
Biyao cultivates here.
When Youji arrived at the stone gate, she hesitated for a moment, but still stepped inside.
In the past few days, she had been concerned about Li Qing'an's unusual behavior after he came out of seclusion.
As she thought about it, she became increasingly anxious and unable to sleep, tossing and turning day and night.
But she couldn't go to southern Xinjiang alone.
After much thought, I decided to go find Biyao.
With Biyao by my side, I have at least a good excuse to go to Southern Xinjiang.
However, she was also very hesitant.
After all, anyone who gets together with a man their nephew or niece likes would have this kind of mentality.
Shame! Self-blame! Regret! Not knowing how to face people, these emotions undoubtedly made her lack confidence when facing Biyao.
Even when talking about Li Qingan, he seemed somewhat insincere.
However, she asked herself honestly, and she also longed for the pleasure she had shared with Li Qing'an that night, as well as the emotional connection they had.
This made her even more unable to resist and unable to get rid of it.
Moreover, based on her understanding of Li Qing'an, if You Ji wanted to get rid of that lecherous man now...
That lecherous fellow wouldn't agree either.
And this is also an important psychological factor that she uses to numb herself.
It was Li Qing'an who forbade it, not her! Li Qing'an forced her; she just happened to be there!
Her relationship with Li Qingan was merely a coincidence, and it wouldn't last long...
She kept using these words to numb herself and her wavering heart.
Even this time, when she wanted to take Biyao to the Southern Frontier, it was to numb herself that it was for the happiness between Li Qing'an and Biyao.
Two flowers bloom, each with its own branch!
Chapter 208 Incense Valley!
Ghost King Sect, Secret Cultivation Chamber!
Biyao, dressed in emerald green, closed her eyes and used her skillful hands, adorned with the Heartbreak Flower, to continuously perform hand seals, drawing upon the magical power within her body to flow through her meridians.
Since she met Li Qingan a few months ago, she has learned that Lu Xueqi has broken through to the Shangqing Realm.
After returning to the mountain, she diligently practiced her cultivation.
As Lu Xueqi's biggest rival, how could she fall too far behind?
Otherwise, how could she have taken Li Qing'an away from Lu Xueqi?
So, she set off with great confidence and arrogance, cultivating herself in this secret chamber for several months.
He even had his meals delivered to his door, all in order to break through to the Shangqing Realm.
Under Li Qing'an's guidance, and with the addition of the second volume of the Heavenly Book, her cultivation had long been at the peak of the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm, with no further advancement possible.
It just lacked that final push.
It took her several days to take that step and enter the ranks of the experts in the Shangqing Realm.
Now, it's nothing more than adjusting one's breathing and stabilizing one's cultivation.
"Click——"
The stone door slowly opened, and You Ji, veiled in black, walked in with an expressionless face.
"Aunt You, what's wrong?"
Biyao stopped what she was doing, opened her eyes, and looked at Youji who had entered, asking her a question.
She knew that if it were a normal matter, Youji would not disturb her cultivation.
"A few days ago, during my trip to the Dead Swamp, I noticed that Li Qing'an was acting strangely!"
The black veil on Youji's face swayed gently, concealing her emotions.
"Ah?" Upon hearing that Li Qing'an might be injured, Biyao quickly stood up and grabbed Youji's hand, asking anxiously.
"Is that scoundrel alright? How badly is he injured?"
Seeing Biyao's increasingly panicked state, Youji felt increasingly uneasy.
I've really made one mistake after another!
The regret she felt spread throughout her body, causing her to feel a strange sense of panic.
Without thinking, she secretly decided that after this trip to southern Xinjiang, she would never see Li Qing'an again.
"Aunt You, say something!"
Seeing that Youji remained silent for a long time, Biyao thought that something serious had happened to Li Qing'an, and she became even more panicked.
In a moment of panic, he was about to leave the secret room and went to find Li Qing'an.
"Biyao, calm down!"
Youji grabbed Biyao and said loudly, "Li Qingan is fine, but I feel that he's like a different person ever since he left the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury!"
"No, I'm going to find him too!"
Biyao gently shook off Youji's hand and said anxiously:
"Aunt You, please let me go! I beg you!"
Biyao's pleading continued.
“Alright! But I have to go with you. Just now, I received news from my disciple that Vice Sect Master Gui Li has also gone to the Southern Frontier to investigate the cause of my disciple’s death.”
"With him leading the way, we can adapt more quickly and find Li Qing'an."
Taking this opportunity, Youji suggested that they go together.
"All right!"
Unaware of the person before her, Biyao, who had already won first place, was more than happy to have.
With Youji accompanying her, the Ghost King will not obstruct Biyao's departure.
Furthermore, Biyao had already broken through to the Shangqing Realm, so there was even less excuse to stop her.
Indeed, this was the case. When Biyao brought Youji to the Ghost King Sect's forbidden area and found the Ghost King to express her thoughts,
The Ghost King waved his hand gently, letting her make the decision herself.
Behind Biyao, Youji slowly bowed to the Ghost King, and then walked backwards with Biyao.
After the two left, the Ghost King asked the Ghost Master who was standing to the side.
"Sir, something went wrong when we were capturing the yellow bird. I wonder if the Blackwater Serpent might be of any use?"
"The Blackwater Serpent is also a kind of mythical beast from the ancient primordial era. The inscription on the Fulong Cauldron records that to activate the 'Four Spirits Blood Array,' the spiritual power of four mythical beasts from the primordial era is needed to activate the strange magic power of the Fulong Cauldron itself."
Mr. Ghost first recalled the contents of the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, and then slowly spoke.
"Therefore, I don't know either, perhaps it's feasible! But the yellow bird is undoubtedly the best choice!"
The Ghost King paused for a moment, frowned, and shifted his gaze to the huge pool of blood in front of him.
Inside the blood pool, the Black Water Serpent, which had just been trapped, was unwilling to accept its fate. It would occasionally let out an angry roar, and its tail would swing, causing huge waves to rise in the surrounding blood.
However, as a method devised by the Ghost King, blood naturally has a peculiar restraining effect on them.
After several attempts, the Blackwater Serpent finally gave up and slowly stopped moving.
On the other side of the blood pool, the one-legged giant Kui Niu, who had been captured for ten years, was completely submerged in the pool. Its gaze occasionally fell on the Black Water Serpent, and it seemed that it had completely given up resisting.
The Ghost King watched this scene with a calm expression, already used to it.
