Chapter 522 Zhao Qing: What are you doing?
The sun and the moon rotate.
Night once again enveloped the world.
More and more male and female monks gathered in Wanhuaping.
In addition to the immortal guests who had come here to watch before, there were also many good friends who had just arrived with their friends, as well as people who had just recovered from their injuries after leaving the city in defeat.
It has been nearly seven days since Tianxiang City was opened, and the number of fairies who have been defeated and left the city is decreasing... The city has obviously fallen into a stalemate where everyone is dormant and confronting each other.
Therefore, the fight between the four branches of Yujing has really concerned many people, and it is very likely that the situation in the city will change because of it.
But several hours passed and Zhuo Yu was still not driven out of Tianxiang City.
Not only that, the desolate and dilapidated Xiwu Region was once again shrouded in the phantom of wind and snow, and could no longer be seen directly from afar...
This caused a huge storm outside the city!
It was obvious that even though the three meridians converged at one point, they were unable to truly defeat Junior Sister Zhuo Yu. In this situation, they must have returned empty-handed...
At this moment, many monks who left the city due to injuries sighed secretly.
"This is quite common, so there's no need to be surprised."
"Although an all-out attack and killing is considered the best strategy to cut off the source of the problem, it still faces countless countermeasures..."
"That's right! The so-called attack on the city and the removal of the general must be done within a cup of tea. If you can't achieve success within a cup of tea... there will be no chance later."
"How easy is it to take the enemy general's head amidst a huge army?"
"Once the defenders in the city react, everyone will come from all the secret realms to help. Even if the three of us from Yujing were to walk, we probably wouldn't have a chance to breathe."
"It's obvious that with Senior Brother Yunhai Jimeng's help, he's enough to protect Fairy Zhuo Yu."
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated? Can a mere Yunhai Walker really defeat the combined strength of the three clans?" Some descendants of clans from other states were puzzled and could not understand why everyone admired those walkers so much.
"Haha, what's the difficulty? My Senior Brother Ji naturally has fellow Daoists from Yunhai following him."
"Hmm...it's an exaggeration indeed."
"But the opportunity to attack the city and kill is fleeting."
"Senior Brother Ji Meng has taken advantage of the terrain. He has obviously set up some magic arrays in the city. It won't be difficult to just trigger a small blockage and unite the three meridians. This will give Fairy Zhuo Yu a chance to survive."
……
Amidst the sea of flowers on a frosty night, various forces were speculating and countless independent cultivators had different opinions.
but no matter.
The three clans of Xueyi, Bodhi and Cuiyuan joined forces to attack and kill Zhuo Yu, but it was obviously unsuccessful.
"Earlier, in various recuperation ponds and gardens, fellow Daoists from the Western Wu Territory were repeatedly injured. In just a few dozen breaths, over three hundred people were sent away!"
"The situation was completely dire at the time. We even thought that Junior Sister Zhuo Yu would be defeated and leave the city in the next moment..."
"But who would have thought—"
"Afterwards, Senior Brother Ji Meng managed to turn the tide! The West Wu Territory was able to halt its decline, not only ensuring the safety of Fairy Zhuo Yu, but even preserving the city!"
"That's more than just turning the tide! It's like stopping the power of a thousand miles in one fell swoop! It's like stopping the collapse of the sky! It's like destroying the cold and lingering night!"
nowadays.
There were many cultivators from other states outside the city, and they had all heard of the venerable name of the man walking in the sea of clouds.
Qianhuanzhou, Wuya Peak!
The eighth walker of Yunhai Tower, Ji Meng!
With Ji Xingxing helping Fairy Zhuo Yu, she's probably not far from reaching the summit of Tianxiang...
……
·
Inside Tianxiang City, deep in a secret place.
The charming and seductive woman with twin dragons now had dull eyes and a look of surprise, sorting out the various messages she had received with full of confusion.
As if to verify the news, she even specifically asked her friends outside the city... and her particularly strange eyes looked even more bizarre.
"Yuer, what's wrong?" Jiang Yanli, who was meditating on the side, trembled his tiger eyes, opened his eyes and asked with a chuckle.
Jiang Yu: ...
She carefully considered her words and spoke softly, "There's a lot of talk outside the city right now... all about the three clans joining forces to kill Zhuo Yu."
"Three pulses?"
"Which three meridians?"
Jiang Yanli asked with a smile, and took the communication jade to examine it with great interest.
The woman muttered to herself strangely, "It's... Blood Robe, Bodhi, and Green Mandarin Duck."
"According to the news from the cultivators who left the city in the Western Wu Territory, all three of them must have taken action, and they also brought with them their most powerful fighters."
"Not only has the communication with the Western Wu Territory been blocked, but a golden body has also descended upon the city, sweeping across the land with blood..."
Hear this.
Jiang Yanli's expression grew slightly solemn. He tightly grasped the jade talisman in his hand and said in a serious voice, "So, Ji Meng has already been driven out of Tianxiang City along with Zhuo Yu by my brother and Wuwang."
"..."
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, her beautiful eyes full of confusion: "No."
"Not only did Zhuo Yu not leave the city, Ji Meng was also safe and sound..."
"And judging from the news outside the city, Ji Meng must have used the illusion array in the city and his own treasures to forcibly stop the three veins from joining forces."
"Um!?"
Jiang Yanli frowned and once again searched for various information on the communication jade.
After a long while, he whispered in surprise, "Can Xiao Ji really defeat them?"
"It doesn't make sense..."
He pondered this for a long time, then raised his eyes, put his arm around the woman's slender waist, and asked with a chuckle, "Do you think Zhuo Yu's power can stop Zhao Qing Wuwang's attack?"
Jiang Yu pursed his lips in thought, and vaguely speculated, "If we use the magic array and magical treasures that we've already prepared, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
"wrong!"
Jiang Yanli suddenly stood up, summoned a flying boat, and hurried back to the city with Jiang Yu. He said in a deep voice, "My dear brother, the Empress is with you, and there is also a senior who escaped from the Ruyi Secret Realm."
"Wuwang carries the incense of the Buddha Kingdom. When he exerts all his strength, ordinary golden elixirs will have to avoid his edge."
“Although Nangong came here to help her sister, the resources and manpower of the entire Nangong clan in Tianxiang City are all based on her.”
"If they really want to get rid of Zhuo Yu, there's no way they'll fail!"
The woman beside him was lost in thought. She seemed to understand something instantly and said hurriedly in surprise, "They weren't trying to kill Zhuo Yu! They were trying to avenge Ji Meng!?"
Jiang Yanli: ...
He carefully examined his junior sister's slightly furrowed brows and smiled helplessly, "Of course it's not right."
"Even if Wuwang wanted to attack Ji Meng, he wouldn't be so hasty."
"The Nangong clan is now powerful and influential. Sister Yao has no need to put herself in danger."
"My dear brother, you are kind-hearted, gentle and kind-hearted. How could you join them in bullying Xiao Ji?"
Jiang Yu was thoughtful, but still couldn't understand the deep meaning.
Zhao Qing, Wuwang, Senior Sister Yao... they were not going after Ji Meng, nor were they going after Zhuo Yu, so where did this situation come from?
"What do you mean, senior brother?"
Jiang Yanli laughed out loud and reminded him, "Don't forget, Sister Yao is not only the walking maiden of Cui Yuan, but also the direct descendant of the Nangong clan."
"The power of the ancient clan is far greater than those of the scattered clans."
"And in Tianxiang City..."
All of a sudden!
Jiang Yu's mind was shocked, and he felt as if he had been enlightened. He sighed softly and said, "I understand."
"Right now, the Jian family is the most unrivaled. They still have over a thousand brave men from Yujing, and they own seven cities. With four fairies gathered around them, they have the power to overwhelm Tianxiang City."
"Xia Yuchan, who was personally recommended by the Protector, has six saints gathered around her, and she also has many interests of the Xia family."
"And the five junior sisters recommended by the Huangfu family to enter the city have also gathered together, bringing with them a total of 6,000 foundation-building people..."
"The other ancient clans and immortal sects have clearly fallen behind. If things continue like this, the Nangong clan will be defeated and leave the city sooner or later."
Brother Hu nodded with a smile and stroked the beauty's hair: "Hmm..."
"So Sister Yao is a little anxious. She needs help."
"At least temporarily join forces...to resist the Jian family and Huangfu."
Jiang Yu thought about it for a while, and suddenly his mind became clear, as if he had glimpsed the truth.
She frowned and said, "So... the Nangong family has secretly joined forces with Junior Sister Hong Ning, Junior Sister Zhuo Yu, and that Fairy Lin recommended by Bodhi!"
"The failed assassination attempt was merely an attempt to numb everyone's thoughts and avoid the attention of the major powers, thereby escaping my own predicament and securing my position."
"Um--"
Jiang Yanli nodded cautiously and muttered to himself, "This is the correct answer."
"And Sister Yao has made some moves... which only further demonstrates the dangerous situation within Tianxiang City."
"Even with Cui Yuan's all-seeing spies, she's still worried that the Nangong clan won't be able to withstand the overwhelming force. Clearly, the city is in a precarious situation, and a war is imminent!"
The Phoenix Emperor thought about it for a long time and then made a decision with gritted teeth: "Let's go!"
"Let's go to Fang's city and take a look!"
"Send a message to Junior Sister Xu. I'll make the decision for her. Let's temporarily join forces with the Fang family and rely on each other to advance and retreat together!"
……
·
The next morning.
In the secret realm of gold and sand, the blood jade fairy boat is floating.
And between the Jade Mountain and the flowing water of the Immortal Boat... there were wisps of fireworks floating around.
My aunt had shed her cold and elegant demeanor, and was only wearing a plain dress, busying herself at the makeshift stove.
The sleeves were rolled up to reveal her slender, fair arms. On her softly contoured wrists, a ribbon used for hair styling was casually tied - but it was stained with water and clung tightly to her white wrists, making her look unusually graceful.
Matching this warm and leisurely homely attitude, my aunt's cooking skills have obviously improved more rapidly than her formation skills in recent years.
The crispy pancakes on the iron are dotted with oil and the aroma of green onions is rich and tempting.
The swaying morning soup is equally exquisite, with strands of egg droplets mixed with bean threads, salty, fresh, delicious and steaming hot.
In this vast Zhongsheng State, there is the chaotic Tianxiang City.
The family enjoyed a rare leisurely meal, so naturally they prepared the most common green sunflower on the family table.
At the moment, Ningmei is helping her aunt clean up the dishes.
Zhao Qing was still lying on the big bed in the bedroom, hugging Shuyue's warm and fragrant body, enjoying the tenderness after a ridiculous night.
But in fact.
Shuyue didn't make much noise last night. Instead, she took a comfortable nap in the atmosphere of flickering candlelight, in a daze of being half asleep and half awake.
The main battlefield of the family is naturally Qinghuan and Ningmei.
After so many years, it is normal for Shuyue and her aunt to occasionally join Zhao Qing in bullying and humiliating the little medicine slave during the night.
Ningmei is also very open-minded. She is okay with whatever happens in the bedroom. She can be obscene with Qinghuan or pretend to be aloof and serve her aunt. But most of the time, after playing around, she still returns to her own room to live alone in a gentle and quiet manner.
As for Si He...
The Empress had never admitted that she was a concubine, so naturally she would not rest with them.
now.
Gu Qinghuan knelt quietly beside the bed, looking at her master with a smile.
As if she had received some command from Zhao Qing's doting gaze, she stood up gracefully, prepared a velvet towel and flower bath with her naked body, and served the master and mistress in dressing and grooming.
Shuyue's eyes were still hazy with sleep, she lay lazily on her husband, yawning in her drowsiness: "Qinghuan isn't asleep again?"
"Anyway, there's nothing to do in the secret realm. You can just rest during the day. I'll stay with my husband and watch over you."
“Oh…Ah~”
Shuyue opened her lips slightly and yawned non-stop, looking particularly pitiful and gentle: "I haven't slept for these days, it's really comfortable to have a night's rest..."
In fact, Zhao Qing was not quite awake and was still immersed in a beautiful dream.
He also slept for a short while.
In the early years, he always needed rest to nourish his spiritual consciousness. Now that his cultivation has improved and he is traveling outside, he hasn't really slept for a long time.
But I have to say that, let alone the late stage of foundation building... even for the Nascent Soul and the Divine Transformation, a good sleep is really comfortable.
At least that's what he and Si He thought.
Of course, there is a more comfortable experience than falling asleep -
"Drink some nourishing wine before bed, and I'll stay with you."
He took the warm velvet towel handed to him by Qinghuan and gave vague instructions.
Drinking spirit wine...
Qing Huan's phoenix eyes were smiling, and her gentle whisper was accompanied by a hint of mischief: "How many jars?"
Zhao Qing: ???
Why don’t I drink you to death?
He regained some consciousness and pulled Qing Huan's delicate body over, pressing her head into the quilt. He then scolded her, laughing, "Little slave, don't you want to rest?"
"Um……"
Qing Huan's hair was disheveled, her slender legs were slightly curled up, her face was buried in the quilt, and she was mumbling a smile: "How can I sleep with my master guarding me?"
"When the master is busy, the little slave can just rest by himself, but he still needs to take good care of himself and kneel down to serve the master..."
Zhao Qing: ...
have to.
This guy definitely deserves to be punished. I might have to torture this little bastard soon.
……
After a while.
Beside the Jade Mountain Spirit Spring in the Immortal Boat.
The family of six sat casually and leaned against each other, without any wine or food.
A few bowls of egg drop soup, a plate of salted sunflower seeds, some scallion pancakes... are better than dragon tendons and phoenix marrow.
Ning Mei held the small bowl in one hand, constantly moving closer to it and exhaling white mist. Even while eating, she couldn't rest, playing with the communication jade in her hand and laughing loudly: "It's rumored outside the city that it was Senior Brother Ji who had extraordinary means and blocked the three meridians in one fell swoop."
Shuyue raised her eyebrows when she heard that, and moved closer with the soup in her hand, checking the contents on the jade slip with curiosity.
"Ji Meng beat twenty-six people alone...?" Si He's white hair hung down in front of him, making him look extremely relaxed and elegant, but he subconsciously used chopsticks to stir the sunflowers in the plate, as if he was fighting with his aunt for them.
Shu Yue chuckled and nodded, then tossed the jade slip to Zhao Qing. "There's another theory... Ji Meng, with the help of his magical skills, managed to stop the three sects' combined attack, buying Zhuo Yu some chance of survival."
The aunt's beautiful eyes flickered, and she glared at Si He unhappily. Then she took the plate of sunflower away and moved closer to Qing Huan, where they ate alone. She chuckled and commented, "This statement is quite close to the truth."
"Um……"
"How can it be considered close? This is clearly the fact."
Zhao Qing laughed and naturally stood up to eat the dishes. How could he not eat the dishes?
Si He didn't go over, but instead took Ning Mei's communication jade and examined it one by one. He obviously agreed with Zhao Qing's statement: "Ji Meng used the mysterious magic to disguise herself as the Fairy Tianxiang and was tricked by us."
"This can be considered as stopping us, it is indeed true..."
At this time.
My aunt's expression changed, she took out a communication jade, and slowly frowned.
She was full of confusion.
Why would Ye Xi send a message directly to him?
This communication jade was exchanged at the Star-Glancing Tower...
But if there is anything, shouldn’t Ye Xi talk to Zhao Qingyan directly?
However, after my aunt checked it with full of doubts, her expression became particularly solemn.
She looked at Zhao Qing and said seriously: "Ye Xi wants to see me, let her come directly into the secret realm."
Zhao Qing was obviously a little surprised as well.
What does this mean... can I communicate directly with my aunt through other people?
He smiled with interest and asked, "Oh? What does she want to see you for?"
"Maybe he wants to discuss—"
"According to her... Senior Brother Jiang brought the Phoenix Emperor lineage, and Ning Ye brought the Broken Star lineage, and they merged into the Fang clan's territory, which can be considered a temporary alliance."
Zhao Qing: ???
However, my aunt kept reviewing the summons, her expression becoming increasingly serious. She then said slowly, "Senior Brother Li Yanshuiyue, last night he took Senior Sister You to see Xia Yuchan. This should mean that he and the Xia family can rely on each other."
"The Jian family abandoned all their city territories and retreated to Beigui early this morning, setting up a large formation."
"At 7:07 AM, many forces of the Huangfu clan flew across thousands of miles and headed to the eastern city of Kucheng to garrison, avoiding the three cities of the Nangong clan."
Zhao Qing: ???
What are you doing?
Is this the final battle?
Didn't I just take a nap? What did I miss?
