Chapter 463: People from the South
It is no secret that Li Qingxiao came to the north, but so far, he has done two things. One is to kill two peak monsters, Jin Ting and Hei Xuan, on Beihan Island, and the other is that in the past five months, the Dinghai Army was dispersed into Fulongyuan to fight independently, achieving outstanding results.
To be fair, the shock caused by the two things is not very big. Although killing two peak monsters can also surprise everyone, they have heard about the incident on Chongming Island before, and it is not surprising that they can kill the peak monsters now. As for the results achieved by the Dinghai Army in Fulongyuan, it seems even more insignificant to the eyes of the real people. In the final analysis, it is to kill all the people in the foundation-building realm of the Tongtian Immortal Sect. As long as Jiang Nuzhou and Ji Fanyin and those upper-level real people are still there, the war will not end.
Therefore, although these peak Jindan real people, including Qu Dongfu, knew that Li Qingxiao's strength was probably above him, they inevitably felt a little contempt when they saw that Li Qingxiao's cultivation was only in the early stage of Jindan five months ago, and they felt that Li Qingxiao was just using secret techniques to exert their strength that far exceeded his cultivation level. In addition, Li Qingxiao had not taken any action in the past five months, so they even had some thoughts in his mind that he was just like this.
It’s okay if Qu Dongfu is over 400 years old, like Mo Yixu, Kong Tianyun and other top-ranked true legends in Taiyuan Immortal Sect. At most, at least 300 years old, they have the peak cultivation of the Golden Pill. In the eyes of outsiders, they are first-class geniuses. They have always considered themselves to be extremely talented and have long been dissatisfied with Li Qingxiao and Li Qingjie, the so-called Li family dragons, so how could they admit that they were not as good as him?
Ji Fanyin, who had been breaking through the realm of the True Lord for decades, was not only defeated by Li Qingxiao, but at the last moment, he was actually taken away by a demon king!
After seeing this real battle at this moment, everyone realized how ridiculous and innocent their previous thoughts were...
Li Qingxiao, who was obviously the early stage of the Golden Pill, just nodded to them and then jumped up to the clouds. This attitude that seemed extremely arrogant to outsiders, was not at all unhappy on everyone's faces. Instead, they waited respectfully for Li Qingxiao's aura to disappear completely, and then raised their heads with an extremely complicated expression and looked at his back.
"After the entire army is purged, the battlefield is cleaned up, and we will continue to station in Fulongyuan... south of the lake, waiting for the follow-up orders of the leader!"
The defeated Ji Fanyin ran away, Li Qingxiao also left, and the battle here had come to an end. Ouyang Shenyu was ordering Dinghai Army to station on site. He glanced at Fulongyuan, which had just been destroyed by the war, and quickly changed his words to Fulong Lake. After hearing the order, Dinghai Army began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Although there were no casualties in the real-life battle just now, many of the people in the Foundation Building Realm of Tongtian Immortal Sect died. The rhinoceros magic weapon they left behind, as well as the aftermath of Ji Fanyin and Li Qingxiao's fight, caused many surrounding monsters and spiritual materials to suffer. These things were of no use to Li Qingxiao, but for these foundation-building cultivators, it was a huge profit. They deliberately began to clean up the battlefield, and everyone looked very happy.
On the side of the battlefield, Shen Qingwu took out another ring from the body of a Tongtian Immortal Sect on the ground. When he opened it, he saw more than a thousand medium-grade spirit stones inside. He immediately showed a hint of joy. He turned his head to Zhang Qingkong and others who were searching for the corpse, and said excitedly: "More than 100,000 spirit stones, plus a top-grade magic weapon. Not bad!"
The other eight people were immediately excited when they heard this, and they were faster to clear the battlefield. The Dinghai Army has fought many large and small battles so far. Li Qingxiao has already set rules for the division of spoils. The enemy killed by his own spoils belongs to the entire ten people. The division power is in the hands of the chief. Generally, the division is based on the amount of effort or the level of cultivation.
The reason why they were so happy was that, on the one hand, they had a share of the spoils that Shen Qingwu had found, and on the other hand, the tenth troop of the Third Battalion, Second Town, and Fifth Team, which they belonged to, was still very special compared to other troops, because the troop was the fifth son of Yunting.
Zuo Yunting was originally the leader of the bid, and he was the strongest among them and the most powerful ones, but he didn't look down on these spoils at all. Therefore, he would directly divide everything into nine and let them divide it. Not only that, sometimes when encountering a big battle, Zuo Yunting even paid out of his own pocket to give them extra second-level spiritual pills. Therefore, they were often envied by other bids, and many people even wanted to use their bond to exchange for their bids.
Everyone was quite quick. Many Biaowu had just cleaned up half of them, and they had already packed up. Everyone turned their heads and found Zuo Yunting standing by without saying a word, staring at the huge Fulong Lake as if thinking. Shen Qingwu looked at everyone and then slowly walked forward and said, "Report to Chief Biao, you have packed up!"
"Okay, wait for the others, and after that, let's go with the army!"
Zuo Yunting knew that they had gained a lot of money when he looked at the joy on everyone's faces, and he didn't ask how much spoils there were. In the past, he gave these spoils to Shen Qingwu, who had the highest cultivation level, to allocate them. This time, he was no exception. After hearing his words, everyone returned to the team together, but he followed alone, turned to look at Fulonghu, with a hint of doubt on his face.
"Before Ji Fanyin appeared, he had the chance to kill Zheng Shiqiao. Zheng Shiqiao did something on Chongming Island enough for him to kill hundreds of times. He had no reason to let Zheng Shiqiao go unless he... deliberately did not kill! Why?"
Zuo Yunting said in his heart that after watching the battle between Li Qingxiao and Ji Fanyin throughout the whole process, he felt that there was strangeness everywhere. More than 20 peak Jindan real people had a battle before. It was said that the scale was so large that Ji Fanyin, the true lord, did not appear. On the contrary, Zheng Shiqiao was forced to a dead end by Li Qingxiao, and he appeared.
Then Li Qingxiao had the chance to kill Zheng Shiqiao, but he didn't take action. It seemed as if he was deliberately waiting for Ji Fanyin to appear to save him. In addition, Ji Fanyin was defeated in the battle, and there was no reason to retreat. This place was less than two hundred miles away from Lan Ming Lake. The battle between the two true lords can be said to have definitely happened under Jiang Nuzhou's nose. In theory, seeing Ji Fanyin lost, even if Jiang Nuzhou did not appear, he could still send Jiufen Zhenjun and the three demon kings out, but none of them came out.
Zuo Yunting kept clarifying the veins in his mind, and suddenly remembered that on the way to Chengming Island, Li Qingxiao told him that what happened between Zhenyun Island and the Blood Evil suddenly became clear and his eyes lit up slightly.
"By the way, Ji Fanyin is from Tongtian Immortal Sect, which means that Tongtian Immortal Sect is protecting Zheng Shiqiao. Blood evil can tell him that Zheng Shiqiao is here on Zhenyun Island and lead him to Chengming Island. In other words, even though the Heavenly Demon Mansion knew that Ji Fanyin was protecting Zheng Shiqiao, Li Qingxiao could not kill him, he still deliberately let Li Qingxiao come over, just to cause trouble for Tongtian Immortal Sect, but he didn't expect that he could defeat Ji Fanyin and almost killed Zheng Shiqiao. So the demon king finally appeared to save the two.
Why didn’t Luo Jinhong and the others come forward? If they appeared one step ahead, Zheng Shiqiao would be dead, unless... they don’t want Zheng Shiqiao to die!"
Zuo Yunting's thoughts became clearer and clearer. At the same time, he completely understood that Li Qingxiao had the chance just now, but he did not kill Zheng Shiqiao. The current situation is that Tongtian Immortal Sect, Tian Yao Mansion, and even Luo Family, did not want Zheng Shiqiao to die.
"He knew that he could not kill Zheng Shiqiao no matter what, so he didn't do it just now!"
After thinking through all this, Zuo Yunting felt a little admiration for Li Qingxiao, his father for the first time.
……………………
Li Qingxiao was about to fly back to the two true lords of Yuanding Jinhong in the clouds. If he knew that his son Zuo Yunting could think so far, he would be afraid that he would feel a little admiration in his heart.
It can be said that what Zuo Yunting thought was almost the same as him. Earlier, after seeing the tragic situation of Zhenyun Island, he learned that the Tian Yao Mansion was resurrecting their ancestor. When he arrived at Chengming Island, he learned that Jiang Nuzhou deliberately sent someone to follow Zheng Shiqiao. As soon as these two things were combined, he had already guessed that the Tian Yao Mansion must not want Zheng Shiqiao to die, at least he didn't want to.
The Blood Evil led him to Chengming Island just to cause trouble for Jiang Nuzhou. In addition, when he saw Zheng Shiqiao, the expression on the other party's face was obviously under long-term control and was almost mentally collapsed. He immediately guessed that Zheng Shiqiao was probably the key to resurrecting the God Ji Demon Saint.
So he first started to control Zheng Shiqiao, and deliberately did not take any action, just to see if Jiang Nuzhou and Tian Yao Mansion would send people out!
Sure enough, Ji Fanyin and the demon king appeared one after another, but Luo Jinhong and Yu Ding Zhenjun did not come out. By this time, he was completely sure that the Tongtian Immortal Sect, Luo Family, and Tian Yao Mansion did not want Zheng Shiqiao to die, at least he didn't want to do so now.
"Zheng Shiqiao is definitely the key to resurrecting the Demon Saint of God, otherwise the Heavenly Demon Mansion would not be so nervous. As for the Tongtian Immortal Sect, there is nothing else on Zheng Shiqiao except the holy blood spirit root. Both sides now want to protect Zheng Shiqiao, but their purpose is different!
Why didn’t Yuanding Zhenjun and Luo Jinhong want Zheng Shiqiao to die? Is it just to keep Zheng Shiqiao and let the Tian Yao Mansion and Tongtian Immortal Sect fight intra-fight? No, the two sides value Zheng Shiqiao so much, which proves that once they succeed, their strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Will Luo Family not be afraid of playing with it at that time?
They must have other purposes, but... I can't see it yet!"
The only thing Li Qingxiao couldn't understand was why Luo did not want Zheng Shiqiao to die, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out. Finally, when he almost arrived at the place where Yuan Ding Zhenjun was, he also restrained the thoughtful look on his face. After arriving, he found that Yuan Ding Zhenjun had left, and only Jin Hong Zhenjun was left.
"Previously, the leader of Qingxiao claimed that he would come to Chengming Island to break the balance between us and Tongtian Immortal Sect. I still didn't believe it. Today, seeing the leader's powerful power defeating Ji Fanyin, I realized that what the leader said was not false, and I hope the leader will forgive him!"
Luo Jinhong seemed to be in a good mood. Not only did she become the leader of the Qingxiao title, but she was also extremely polite. She even said Haihan, which made Li Qingxiao a little confused. After humbled herself a few words, she said: "Since that's the case, the True Lord must have been calculating in his heart, on the other side of Lan Ming Lake..."
Li Qingxiao mentioned that Lan Minghu, where Tongtian Immortal Sect was stationed, and his eyes were slightly sharp. Luo Jinhong immediately understood that he had promised Li Qingxiao before that if he could prove his strength, the balance that Chengming Island could be maintained, Luo family and Tongtian Immortal Sect would officially start a war!
"The leader of Qingxiao is calm. The Tongtian Immortal Sect is stationed in Lanming Lake for more than half a year. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be any powerful means. Taking the initiative to attack will be a big deal. Besides, they suffered such a big loss in Fulongyuan. Jiang Nuzhou must be furious at this moment. Maybe he will come to Jiukong Mountain to find us immediately. Why bother to be anxious!"
When Li Qingxiao heard Luo Jinhong's words, he was not surprised at all. He just nodded calmly, as if he really agreed with his words. He was anxious to greet Luo Jinhong for a few words. Until he invited him to return to Jiukong Mountain and fly behind Luo Jinhong, he looked at his back and saw a dark look in his eyes.
After returning to Jiukong Mountain, Jiang Nuzhou naturally would not bring people to the door as Luo Jinhong said. On the contrary, the entire Fulongyuan area was lost, and thousands of people in the Foundation Building Realm were killed and injured. Jiang Nuzhou seemed to have no reaction and continued to defend Lan Ming Lake. Faced with the Luo family's provocation, he did nothing. He only broke out on the periphery, and killed the Jindan peak real person and made a few moves.
In the next two years, Li Qingxiao really didn't go to Luo Jinhong to attack Lan Minghu again. Everything fell into a strange calm. Chengming Island was in a stalemate, and the entire northern islands in the sea became the home court of battle. The battle between the Jindan forces who defected to the two sides was even more intense than Chengming Island. Luo Jinhong and Jiang Nuzhou also sent their peak Jindan real people to help, but the True Lord never appeared again.
To show his support, Li Qingxiao sent out two or three people, but they all came back after only a few months. He and Ding Haijun stayed on Chengming Island and never went anywhere. He stayed in the medicinal room prepared for him by Huanglong Sect all day to improve his cultivation.
