Si Kongxing still wanted to ask, but Su Junmo hastily tugged on her sleeve: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now."
He coughed a few times, and quickly changed the topic: "Everyone should know about the Duankongmen. The news I got here is that the Duankongmen can't spare any manpower to search for Meng Qiqi for the time being. The seat has been vacant for ten years. Once they elect a new sect master, they will definitely use all their strength to deal with Meng Qiqi. This sect..."
When Su Junmo said this, he frowned, and muttered: "It has existed for many years. It's just been quite low-key. There are many sword cultivator sects in the three thousand worlds, but no matter what time Duankongmen is among the sword cultivator sects. It’s a worthy number.”
He paused when he said this, and looked at Pei Mufeng, who was quietly sitting aside, meaningfully.
When it comes to the Sword Cultivation Sect, Xingluo Pavilion obviously knows more.
This young and promising Xingluo Pavilion sect master's talent in swordsmanship should be ranked among the top three among the young generation in the world.
"The Duankong Sect has had no sect master since the previous sect master fell under the hands of Moxiu ten years ago. But they have thirteen elders, and the lowest cultivation level of these thirteen elders is also a cave cultivator." Su Junmo Already went on.
Everyone in the box could not help but gasp when they heard the words.
Even cultivators like Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo, who were born in great sects, were a little shocked when they heard about the thirteen Dongxu elders.
There has been no soaring cultivator in the Three Realms for ten thousand years.
From Mahayana down, Dongzhen and Dongxu are both strong.
As long as there is a cave cultivator in the gate, he can occupy a city in the four realms and separate one side.
"Duankong City...is it that strong?" Chu Tianfeng frowned, and asked in disbelief: "But in the Three Realms, they are not special..."
He frowned at this point and didn't continue talking.
Everyone in the box understood what he meant.
Duankong City is really very low-key.
The West Realm has always said that their strongest sect is Jingyuetian.
It is true that Duankong City is one of the three major sects, but in everyone's impression, it may be similar to Fengmeng.
The thirteen Dongxu elders are stronger than the four major families of the Wind Alliance.
"Hmm." Su Junmo nodded.
He has his sources of information, which are mostly accurate.
He looked at Meng Qi, and his eyes quickly swept across Ji Wujiong who was lazily standing aside with his arms wrapped around his chest.
In the Sea of Falling Stars before, Ji Wujiong once said arrogantly that Duan Kongcheng was very weak, putting the cart before the horse, and not knowing the way.
I don't know what he will think when he hears the news now.
Ji Wujiong's gaze met Su Junmo's, and a hint of ridicule flashed in his deep, dark eyes.
He snorted softly: "Under the Mahayana, strength is limited. As for being so flustered? Meng Qi, you'd better follow me. This group of people panic at the slightest sign of trouble. It doesn't seem very reliable."
It's just that although his words were sarcasm, the corners of his lips were always slightly raised, and there was even a faint smile in his eyes, and his tone was even more lazy with an indescribable satisfaction.
Pooh!
Su Junmo couldn't help but spurn Ji Wujiong in his heart, but he still felt a little strange.
Ever since leaving Falling Star Sea, Ji Wujiong has always had such an expression.
It looks like you're in a good mood
Meng Qi sat at the table calmly, pretending that she didn't hear Ji Wujiong's words: "Then what about Jingyuetian?"
"Jingyuetian..." Su Junmo scratched his hair, "7,000 years ago, Jingyuetian was the number one Dharma cultivation sect in the 3,000 worlds. Not only are there many geniuses in the sect, but they often have conflicts with the demon world. The sky is always at the forefront. So there are quite a few disciples who sacrificed. As far as I know, like their young master, they almost fell in the battle with the demon cultivator, resulting in damage to their cultivation base, and even being unable to practice for life. It’s not once or twice. Jingyuetian has been able to maintain his reputation for thousands of years, which is probably why.”
"En." Meng Qi nodded, thinking about this matter seriously.
She put one hand on the table, and lightly clenched her other hand into a fist, holding a small mysterious spirit stone in her palm.
Regardless of the small size of the mysterious spirit stone, the division of spirit stones in the three thousand worlds relies on the spiritual energy contained in the spirit stones.
The spiritual energy in this small mysterious spirit stone is almost the same as the spiritual energy in the entire spiritual sea of a second-level Mahayana cultivator.
The mysterious spirit stone exuded a faint light, and wisps of aura slowly overflowed from the stone and slowly penetrated into Meng Qi's palm.
If you look carefully, you will find that in the strands of spiritual energy connecting Meng Qi's palm and the Xuanling Stone, apart from the blue-white light of the spiritual energy, there are also strands of blood lines that are thinner than hair.
Meng Qi's palm was illuminated by the light of the spirit stone, and the lines engraved on the palm could still be vaguely seen.
Every time the spiritual energy penetrated into her palm, her right hand would tremble slightly.
Because of the force on the back of her hand, the veins burst out, and on her fair skin, the blue blood veins stood out.
But she sat at the table, her expression looked extremely indifferent.
Mentioning the Young Sect Master of Jingyuetian, the box fell silent.
Everyone here is a cultivator, and most of them bear the name of genius and come from a great sect.
They know too well the pain of a former genius who fell into the dust and could no longer practice.
Even though the sect still regards him as a hero, they treat him with care and respect.
so what
Changing places, they would rather not be young sect masters, not to be respected, as long as they can continue to practice.
"So now we should go to Jingyuetian first?" Chu Tianfeng asked after a moment of silence.
"It's not us." Meng Qi held the Xuanling Stone and stood up, "It's me."
"Eh?" Everyone was stunned and looked at Meng Qi in surprise.
"I only take spirit stones from the Falling Star Sea." Meng Qi said again.
"Meng Qiqi?" Si Kongxing looked up at Meng Qi, his face full of doubts, "What's wrong with you?"
"Xing Xing." Meng Qi said: "We have already left Falling Star Sea, everyone has their own business, don't you still want to find your mother? It's time to separate."
She bowed to everyone: "Thank you all for falling into the sea of stars for me. For this kindness, Meng Qi will definitely repay you in the future..."
"Meng Qiqi?!" Chu Tianfeng frowned even tighter, and quickly interrupted Meng Qi, "What repayment do you say?! We all know that if there is no you in Falling Star Sea, we may not be able to come out. But I don't understand...why do we have to separate suddenly? Isn't our team very good?"
Chu Tianfeng's words touched everyone's heart.
Even brothers and sisters Li Che, Xue Chengxuan, and even Xu Zijun looked at Meng Qi.
The time they spent together in Falling Star Sea was not long, and they could be regarded as fighting side by side, going through life and death.
The friendship gained in this way is very precious, and it cannot be deceived.
Everyone regards each other as friends.
Chu Tianfeng even felt that if he could stay like this all the time, side by side with Meng Qi and everyone else, he wouldn't be lonely on the road of cultivation.
how nice.
Ji Wujiong suddenly chuckled, and stepped forward to stand beside Meng Qi: "You still don't understand?"
"Understand what?" Si Kongxing couldn't help but glared at Ji Wujiong.
Now she is not so afraid of this man in black robe with a hideous wound on his face.
Although the opponent is a poisonous snake, he is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
Ji Wujiong put down his hands and looked around the crowd with a smile: "Obviously Meng Qi has figured it out! What's the point of mixing with you? Of course, it is more promising to worship me as a teacher!"
"Bah!" Sikong Xing stretched out his hand and gestured on his face, "You bragging, shameless!"
"Meng Qiqi." Xue Jinwen looked at Meng Qi, and asked seriously: "You..."
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for the rest.
Ji Wujiong was right.
Speaking of which, they fell into the sea of stars to save Meng Qi. But along the way, if Meng Qi sleepwalked, they might be wiped out in the sea of falling stars.
Meng Qi said earlier that she was safe in the Sea of Falling Stars, but everyone didn't believe her.
It now appears that she should have been really safe at the time. If it weren't for them, maybe she would have more benefits.
Xue Jinwen and his elder brother looked at each other, and they both saw deep concern in each other's eyes.
She was at a loss for what to say next.
It's not just her, there are no fools in the box.
They all looked at Meng Qi with different expressions, but none of them spoke.
Meng Qi frowned, opened her mouth to speak, but finally said nothing.
In the end, she cupped her fists and bid farewell to everyone, then raised her chin to Ji Wuyang: "Let's go."
The door of Ruyifang's box opened and then closed again.
The footsteps gradually faded away, but the room was always so quiet.
"Fuck!" Chu Tianfeng was the first to jump up, "Why can't I get used to Ji Wujiong's despicable appearance?!"
Si Kongxing curled his lips: "But he is a strong man, he can hit all of us with one hand. And... Meng Qiqi left with him."
"I don't believe Meng Qiqi is such a person! Could she have been threatened?!" Chu Tianfeng stared at the door hatefully, as if wishing to burn two holes in it.
"I also find it strange." Si Kongxing frowned slightly, and looked at Su Junmo, "Meng Qiqi has always been indifferent to Ji Wujiong, why did she leave with him all of a sudden?"
"How do I know?!" Su Junmo said angrily.
He was only worried now, Meng Qi had left with Ji Wujiong, and there was no news from the Lord.
Seeing that the Yaojun Ling is about to come back, the lord's personal guards are still blocked by those guys in the seventh heaven...
"So we let Meng Qiqi leave with that guy?!" Chu Tianfeng jumped to the table and sat down, looking at Qin Xiumo in disbelief, "You didn't say a word?"
Qin Xiumo took a deep look at him, and doubts flashed in his eyes.
Meng Qi definitely didn't dislike them for not being strong enough, he wanted to know even more now, what happened after they fell into a coma when they returned to the forest the other day
When everyone woke up that day, they were already at the edge of the Sea of Falling Stars, and there happened to be an exit leading to the Western Realm next to them, and Meng Qi was standing by their side.
According to Meng Qi, Lin Zhong is indeed Lin Yan, their senior medical practitioner. She didn't want to embarrass the younger generation, so she kindly sent them out.
Qin Xiumo always felt that things were not that simple.
He turned his head and glanced at the door, then at the restless Chu Tianfeng, and said calmly, "Ji Wujiong is right."
"Huh?!" Chu Tianfeng was startled, and looked at Qin Xiumo in disbelief.
"Now that we are by Meng Qiqi's side, it will only drag her down." Qin Xiumo said: "The Falling Star Sea is the best example."
He stood up: "In the sea of falling stars, Meng Qiqi carved a magic circle on our natal magic weapon or long sword, and now we can get twice the result with half the effort. I know that there are three secret places for practice in the western realm. Get twice the result with half the effort, and make a huge difference in one day. Does anyone want to follow me?"
"Qin Xiumo!" Chu Tianfeng jumped up, "Is it time to practice now? Duankong City is about to show up and hunt down Meng Qiqi. This is the base camp of the old fellows of the Wind League in the Western Realm. It won’t stop there either.”
"Otherwise?" Qin Xiumo shot coldly at Chu Tianfeng, "Ji Wujiong is a cultivator of the cave, what about you?"
"..." Chu Tianfeng shut up before he even got distracted, he was speechless.
"There are thirteen cave elders in Duankong City, even if we all follow Meng Qiqi, what's the use of meeting them?" He continued to ask.
Chu Tianfeng: "But..."
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything else for a long time.
Qin Xiumo was right, not counting others, if he and Qin Xiumo joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to block the sword of an elder in Duankong City.
What's the use of following Meng Qi's side? !
Chu Tianfeng gritted his teeth: "Okay! I'll go to the secret realm with you."
"I'm going too." Si Kongxing stood up.
"I'll go too." Su Junmo said with a wry smile.
He doesn't know what to do now. Before the Lord gives new orders, it is always right to improve his cultivation.
"I..." Li Che raised his hand, "I want to go too."
"Count me in." Sikong Zhan said.
"Aren't you going back to the demon world?" Sikong Xing looked over with wide-eyed eyes.
"No." Sikong Zhan quickly shook his head and said firmly.
"And me." Xue Jinwen said with a smile.
Xue Chengxuan, who was beside her, closed his eyes and said helplessly, "I want to go home."
He is the son of the Xue family and the future heir of the Xue family. He can't do whatever he wants like his third sister.
"Then... count me in too," Xu Zijun said.
"I want to go back to Xinghai." Pei Mufeng beside him said lightly.
Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Pei Mufeng had an agreement with the Medical Cultivation Association Alliance that if the Medical Cultivation Association was held in Xingluo City, then he would spend ten years in the Xinghai Sea for the Medical Cultivation Association Alliance, looking for various elixir and spirit flowers, and hunting strange beasts that could be used as medicine.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Chu Tianfeng strode towards the door, urging Qin Xiumo, "Let's go!"
No one asked Qin Xiumo, a cultivator in the southern realm, how he knew the secret realm of cultivation in the western realm.
It's like when everyone in the box left, they didn't even take a look at Lu Qingran who was sitting in the corner of the room.
They seemed to have completely forgotten her existence, whether it was Meng Qi and Ji Wujiong, or Chu Tianfeng, Qin Xiumo and others.
When they left the door, they didn't even look at Lu Qingran from the corner of their eyes.
Lu Qingran sat there in a daze, watching the people in the room walk out one after another.
Chu Tianfeng, Su Junmo, Sikong Xing...
There are also Xue Chengxuan and Li Che who are from the Medical Cultivation Sect.
Obviously not long ago, both Li Che and Ji Wujiong valued her very much.
But now, none of them looked at her more, as if she was just an insignificant bug or bird.
and also…
Lu Qingran was in a daze, unable to figure it out at all.
Why do these people get together
Is it because of Meng Qi
Especially Xue Chengxuan and Li Che.
After the medical practice meeting, shouldn't these two people and Ji Wujiong fight as soon as they meet? But they met from Falling Star Sea until now, although they and Ji Wujiong didn't have a good relationship, they still coexisted peacefully.
Lu Qingran watched Xu Zijun, who was walking last, leave the room, and closed the door again for her.
If these people were in the past, she would never have imagined that these people would stand together so peacefully.
Now they stand together like a team.
The atmosphere between them seems to be very harmonious
And Ji Wujiong...
As long as Lu Qingran thinks of Ji Wujiong's cold eyes, his pitch-black pupils, like a bottomless well... She can't help shrinking her body again.
She knew how terrifying this man was from Qingfeng Valley.
Without the slightest bit of compassion, the life and death of others are like child's play in his eyes.
Even though she seemed a bit special to him, Lu Qingran never dared to make trouble in front of Ji Wujiong.
She is really afraid of him!
Now even he, in front of Meng Qi, is no longer that violent and indifferent man who dominates me.
He can laugh, although he still has a vicious tongue, but it seems that he is no longer so violent, and even bickers with a little girl like Sikong Xing? !
This kind of Ji Wujiong really felt very strange to her.
why? Lu Qingran didn't understand.
It seems that she is completely transparent, no different from a small grass and flower on the side of the road.
All their topics revolved around Junior Sister Meng Qi, whether she was here or not.
why
Lu Qingran didn't understand it very well, was it because of Junior Sister Meng Qi's outstanding performance at the medical practice meeting
Lu Qingran looked down at her hands, she and Junior Sister Meng Qi were both Jindan cultivators, why did she suddenly become so important
she…
At this moment, with a "bang", the door of the box was pushed open heavily.
Lu Qingran quickly raised his head to look, with a gleam of joy overflowing uncontrollably in his eyes.
"Huh?" Several cultivators in ginger-yellow robes stood outside the door, "Why is there only one person? Is the news wrong?"
"Take it away first!" Another person beside him looked around and said cautiously: "This is Ruyifang, don't stay any longer."
"it is good."
"Hmm..." Lu Qingran didn't have time to react, he just felt his eyes go dark, and a huge sack shone on his head.
Those people didn't touch her body at all, but she lost all strength and went limp.
Before losing consciousness, Lu Qingran seemed to hear the sound of killing.
She could feel herself being lifted up, uncomfortably on her shoulders.
And then, I don't know anything.
Outside Mirror Moon City, on the hillside of Qingshan, there is a cave about two people high.
The entrance of the cave is not big, two people are tall, and it can only allow two people to walk in side by side. The depth of the cave is about thirty feet, and there is no skylight all day long.
It is 600 miles away from Mirror Moon City, the rolling mountains block people's footsteps, the leaves outside the cave block the sunlight, and the smell of rotting fallen leaves is all in the nose.
Meng Qi sat cross-legged in the middle of the cave, her face as pale as paper.
Fine beads of sweat covered her fair forehead, and even the tip of her nose was covered with sweat.
With the palms of her hands facing down, each holds a small mysterious spirit stone. The aura was full of energy, and the strands flowed upwards along the palm of her hand.
The time has passed in the cave, but the man in black sitting lazily at the entrance of the cave will get up and go outside the cave for a while every time the sun rises and sets.
"Hmm—" About seven days and seven nights later, Meng Qi, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, suddenly let out a muffled snort.
She slowly opened her eyes, the original clear eyes were bloodshot.
Ji Wujiong sighed softly and turned to look outside the cave.
On the ground outside the cave, there was still a ray of sunlight stubbornly shining through the leaves.
Now it was pitch black.
Above the woods, the sky was originally clear, but now there was a cloud of black clouds pressing on it, just above the cave.
From time to time, lightning flashed in the black clouds, making a muffled rumbling sound.
Meng Qi exhaled lightly and clenched her hands even tighter.
"Hello!" Ji Wujiong said, "Jieyun is here."
"I know." Meng Qi spoke, her voice hoarse, not as clear as before.
"Can you?"
"En." Meng Qi responded in a low voice.
Ji Wujiong took a deep look at her, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.
He stood up, turned and walked out of the cave.
Cultivation is to go against the sky.
So from Jindan to Yuanying, the cultivator has to go through the catastrophe, each time becoming more and more tyrannical.
By the time of Mahayana, every small level of improvement will experience a catastrophe.
He just didn't understand, Meng Qi is obviously not the kind of person who is obsessed with cultivation, why suddenly...
Ji Wujiong didn't finish his thought, and there was a loud "huochacha" sound behind him.
At the same time, his surroundings were illuminated as brightly as day.
Ji Wujiong was startled, and turned around slowly.
He reached out and pressed lightly in the air, and the amethyst gossip disc appeared from mid-air, slowly floating beside him.
Baguapan and Meng Qi were familiar with each other for a long time, and they saw the lightning in front of them that was almost filled with lightning.
There are also lightning gaps, and the occasional thin figure appears.
Huochacha, Huochacha... the loud noises continued.
The gossip pan slowly shook Yuanyuan's body, as if full of doubts.
It flew around Ji Wujiong twice, and wobbled to a stop in front of him.
"Don't ask me!" Ji Wujiong said angrily, "I want to know too."
Just as he was speaking, there was another loud bang of "Huochacha", and a blue-purple lightning bolt struck down.
The entire green hill shook, as if it would be split into pieces by the lightning in the next moment.
Seeing this, the Amethyst Eight Diagrams Plate shook quickly, desperately rubbing against its master's face, as if wanting Ji Wujiong to save Meng Qi in the cave.
"It's useless." Ji Wujiong slowly clenched the hand hanging by his side, the veins on the back of the hand popped up, but his feet seemed to have taken root, standing firmly on the spot without moving a bit.
He swallowed hard, and looked at the thin figure that was staggered by the lightning, as if it would disappear into light smoke at any moment: "This is her catastrophe. Others...helping her will only hurt her." kill her."
The Amethyst Eight Diagrams Plate seemed to be stunned for a moment, stagnated in mid-air, and wobbly and slowly falling.
Ji Wujiong stared closely at Meng Qi's direction, but lightly tapped his right hand on his chest, and silently drew out his pitch-black narrow knife.
"She..." He was usually venomous, but at this moment he didn't know what to say, "She asked for it."
It took a long time for Ji Wujiong to squeeze out these words.
He raised his eyes and looked at the thick robbery clouds in the sky, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was telling Zijing gossip: "Cultivation is to go against the sky, and her cultivation talent is not like medical skills or magic circles. That's outstanding, just take your time. But she won't listen, she just wants to... "
Ji Wujiong snorted lightly: "Huh—"
He didn't want to talk about it.
Ji Wujiong clenched the narrow knife with one hand, and stared at Meng Qi without blinking.
The lightning still struck down one by one, and the entire green hill and the ground seemed to be shaking slightly.
How does this look like Jindan going to Nascent Soul to cross the catastrophe!
Someone who said that he was distracted and advanced to the cave would probably believe it!
Ji Wujiong was thinking, and the corner of his eye quickly swept to the sky.
That was the direction of Mirror Moon City. At some point, several figures flew up in the sky.
In addition, there are also dozens of magic weapons flying in the air, all looking at this place from a distance.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, and drew his narrow knife towards the sky.
A black crack flashed across the air, isolating space and time, so that those who were watching could not perceive what was going on here at all.
Ji Wujiong grinned, showing his white teeth, and blinked at the Amethyst Eight Diagrams Disk.
"I can't persuade her. But she must be dying of pain now. This kind of pain is not something a little girl can endure. Fortunately, she is only a Jindan advanced Nascent Soul..."
He paused, and then said: "I hope that this deep-seated pain will make her give up this road, and take it slow, why worry..."
The amethyst gossip plate was dangling, still floating beside Ji Wujiong.
It seemed to understand, and its body swayed back and forth a few times.
"I'm nervous? Why am I nervous? All right..." Ji Wujiong snorted lightly, "It's a little bit. I want to accept an apprentice, but I don't want to accept a dead apprentice."
The gossip plate shook slightly again.
"Hmph." Ji Wujiong snorted coldly, "I don't promise her, and she won't go with me either. It's just a stopgap measure. Don't worry, I know a fellow who has experienced this kind of pain before. Afterwards, he said that even if he ruined his entire body, he would never try again. Meng Qi would also give up."
While talking, Ji Wujiong raised his head and looked at the sky again.
Those natal magic weapons have been withdrawn, and half of the dozen or so shadows standing in the sky have disappeared.
The few remaining figures were just standing far away in the sky, and they didn't plan to come over to find out.
"Huochacha" was another loud noise, and a huge lightning bolt pierced the sky, struck straight down, and landed on top of Meng Qi's head.
In the cave, the figure that looked extremely small under the lightning swayed slightly, as if it was about to be unable to hold on.
"Ho Cha Cha", "Ho Cha Cha"...
Without giving her a chance to catch her breath, lightning flashed down the sky one after another.
Ji Wujiong looked a little terrified, the little figure was shaking in the lightning, as if it would fall down at any moment.
He gripped the narrow knife tightly, as long as Meng Qi fell, he would rush in to save people at any time.
"Ho Chacha"...
But no matter how earth-shattering the lightning was, no matter how much the slender figure shook, it still sat cross-legged on the ground and never fell down.
finally…
The last bolt of lightning struck heavily, shaking the green mountains, but soon, everything returned to tranquility.
"Meng Qi!" Ji Wujiong quickly jumped up and rushed into the flash.
"I..." The green-robed girl raised her eyes to look at him, her lips were stained with blood, and her face was as white as paper.
But she still curled up her lips and smiled at him: "... Nascent Soul."
Meng Qi paused, then said hoarsely, "Thank you..."
As soon as her words fell, her precarious body fell to the side and hit the ground with a "bang".
