Chapter 440

“Hmm, get up.”

Xiang Qing nodded his head. It was fate that Zi Yun was able to bring back his own grandfather’s Yu Ling.

He looked at Xie Tianheng and his son.

Xie Tianheng felt somewhat awkward. How come each and every Yu Ling others possessed seemed not to be simple, while the Yu Ling he held seemed rather ordinary?

“Elder, this is my Yu Ling!”

Xie Tianheng took out his Yu Ling.

Xiang Qing took a glance at it and was taken aback. After scrutinizing Xie Tianheng and his son for a while, he hesitated for a moment, then said, “Follow me to the Great Zhou State. I will have someone take you there.”

Yarong, who was deep in thought, suddenly lifted her head in surprise. Was Xiang Qing being so kind-hearted?

She took a glance at the Yu Ling in Xie Tianheng’s hand and was stunned. No wonder Xiang Qing was so kind. He apparently wanted to take this chance to foster some connections over there.

“Thank you, Elder!”

Xie Tianheng respectfully replied.

Emperor Zheng and the others felt overjoyed. The Yu Ling each of these people held was far from ordinary?

Xiang Qing stood up and said to Emperor Zheng, “You did well this time. After the Gate of Lingyu is closed, go get your reward yourself. The mission of Zheng Country remains unchanged, it must not be disturbed, but you should also not meddle in disputes recklessly.”

“Thank you, lord of the Taimiao Sect, we will bear in mind your instructions, firmly do our mission, and not get involved in any disputes at all!”

Emperor Zheng, delighted, knelt down and paid his respects.

With these words, Zheng Country could continue to flourish.

Xiang Qing nodded and walked towards the exit, saying, “As for the remaining holders of the Yu Ling, you decide for yourself.”

Yarong also promptly got up to leave.

Xie Tianheng, Du Yuying, and the others hurriedly followed.

Outside the main hall, Xiang Qing turned to Zi Yun and Xie Tianheng, saying, “If you have any parting words, say them here. As for when we will see each other again, that’s unknown.”

After bidding farewell, Xie Tianheng, his son, and Zi Yun left with Xiang Qing.

Du Yuying and Cui’er, Yun Miaomiao and his master Wushuang, followed Yarong to the Taimiao Sect.

Du Yuying, under Yarong’s instructions, donned a veil.

After respectfully seeing them off, Emperor Zheng and the others let out a sigh of relief.

“As per the rules, no one is allowed to discuss this matter or reveal any information, or they will be put to death.”

Emperor Zheng sternly said.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, we understand the rules!”

The group of officials bowed and replied.

“In the Inner Domain, there should be no important holders of Yu Ling left, just complete the mission according to the rules. When the time comes, close the Gate of Lingyu.

“As for the people from Shui Xing Palace, they need not bother anymore. If they don’t know better and don’t want to come back, then they don’t have to.

“These are the orders of the Taimiao Sect, and no one is allowed to disobey!”

Emperor Zheng’s voice was heavy.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

After the period of one month, the Gate of Lingyu must be closed.

Emperor Zheng and the others did not return to sit in the main hall. Since the lord of the Taimiao Sect had left, there was naturally no need for them to preside over the proceedings personally.

…

On Canglan Island, everyone was preparing to enter Lingyu.

Xu Yan imparts the cultivation techniques of the Divine Intent State and Divine Origin Realm to his father, Xu Junhe, to ensure that after his father reaches the Tongxuan Realm, he can continue to cultivate successfully.

Furthermore, he carefully passed on all the key points of Divine Intent State cultivation one by one.

Su Lingxiu, on the other hand, is busily concocting pills. The pills for the Tongxuan Realm cultivation and for breaking through to the Divine Intent State all need her personal concoction.

They have no idea when they will be able to return from this journey.

Xu Junhe and others will stay in Dahua to develop it and won’t go to Lingyu.

Xu Junhe also understands that his own weak strength would only drag his son down if he went to the Lingyu.

After imparting the cultivation techniques to his father, Xu Yan took another trip around Dahua and went to Tianbao Pavilion.

Everything is properly arranged. There are only a few days left until the deadline of one month for the Gate of Lingyu.

It’s time to set off and enter Lingyu.

“Red Cat, you must eat well. I don’t know when I will be able to teach you how to read again.”

Mother Xu said as she caressed Red Cat’s head.

Red Cat was reluctant to part. Without Mother Xu’s pampering, it would have fewer pills to eat in the future and would have to endure hard times!

But it wanted to go to Lingyu. Lingyu had Spiritual Beasts.

It’s a cultured tiger, a tiger with dreams. It wants to become the King of Demons!

And only by going to Lingyu would it have this chance!

Li Xuan sighed, he still had not found his fourth disciple in the Inner Domain. He hoped Lingyu wouldn’t disappoint him.

In front of the Gate of Lingyu, the purple-crowned man and other powerful figures from Tianbao Pavilion bowed and said, “Young Master Xu, rest assured, Dahua won’t be in chaos, and it will surely have a day to rival Lingyu!”

Xu Yan nodded his head.

“Master, I’ll go in first!”

“Hmm!”

Li Xuan nodded.

Xu Yan resumed his appearance from when he returned to the Inner Domain, not showing his true face to enter the Gate of Lingyu, since he was being pursued by the Jade God Sect and Su Family.

If the news of him returning to Inner Domain gets out, it’s hard to guarantee that those people from the Jade God Sect won’t cause trouble in the Inner Domain.

After Xu Yan entered the Gate of Lingyu, Li Xuan calmly said, “Let’s go.”

He took a step forward, followed by Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu, Zhou Ying, Meng Shushu and Red Cat.

“Do you have a Yu Ling?”

The guard asked.

“No!”

Meng Chong gave the guard a glance.

“No …”

The guard was furious, about to expel them, when he suddenly shrunk his neck, saying, “Go in.”

It wasn’t until Li Xuan and his group had entered that another guard said, “Are you stupid? These people are obviously not to be trifled with and they are connected to the guy who just went in.”

“Thanks for the reminder!”

The guard thanked him. Just moments ago, he had experienced a sense of impending death.

As soon as he entered the Gate of Lingyu, Li Xuan felt revitalized. The spiritual energy of Lingyu was indeed dense.

“Such rich spiritual energy!”

Su Lingxiu exclaimed.

Meng Shushu looked around, his expression complex yet expectant.

After crossing the great hall, Xu Yan was already waiting.

“Master, where shall we go?”

Li Xuan replied carelessly, “Anywhere is fine, just go as you like.”

After arriving in Lingyu, his first task was to find a suitable Qi Gate martial arts cultivator.

Yu Xiaolong poked his head out of Xu Yan’s sleeve and said, “I know of a place with beautiful scenery and isn’t too far from the capital of Zheng Country.”

Li Xuan nodded, “Let’s go there then.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze towards Red Cat.

Red Cat trotted over and shook its body, transforming into the size of a small hill.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, finally, he could make use of Red Cat as his mount.

Riding on Red Cat’s back, with a tea table and chairs ready, Su Lingxiu was brewing tea for her master. Xu Yan and Yu Xiaolong were leading the way, Meng Chong was looking around, not sitting on Red Cat’s back.

Shi’er and Meng Shushu initially wanted to ride on Red Cat’s back as well, but they were intimidated by just a glare from Red Cat and could only sullenly follow along on foot.

Once they had left the location of the Gate of Lingyu, Xu Yan resumed his real appearance, and the group headed towards the area mentioned by Yu Xiaolong.

On the way, naturally, they couldn’t avoid encountering martial artists of Lingyu.

And so, before they reached their destination, two figures descended, the might of the Refining God Heavenly Men unabashed, their ice-cold gazes fixed on Xu Yan.

They were the refined god experts from the Jade God Sect and Su Family.

“Are you aware of your sins?”

The elder from the Jade God Sect looked down at Xu Yan coldly.

As for the huge Red Cat, the two Refining God Heavenly Men didn’t care about it in the slightest, after all, it was weak and could be easily destroyed.

Sitting on Red Cat’s back, Li Xuan put down his teacup and looked at the two Refining God Heavenly Men with an indifferent expression. He raised one hand and said, “How dare insignificant things act so presumptuously!”

An excitement welled up within his heart, finally, it was time for him, as a master, to show off his true power.

Ever since he obtained the ‘One Shot Divine Annihilation’ technique, he hadn’t had a chance to use it until now.

“Xu Yan killed a minor heavenly person as soon as he entered Lingyu. As his master, it’s only reasonable for me to kill two Refining God Heavenly Men upon entering Lingyu, right?”

With such thoughts in mind, he raised his hand and struck towards the two Refining God Heavenly Men!

The Sudden Wind Sword Intent, Absolute Annihilation Sword Intent, and One-Shot Divine Annihilation all combined into a single decisive blow!

Xu Yan and the others were all excited; their master was taking action again!

Every time their master made a move, it caused a great shock within them.

The two Refining God Heavenly Men from Jade God Sect and Su Family changed their expressions dramatically, let out a roar, and a terrifying force surged out.

Above their heads, a faint phantom image even appeared, so illusory that one couldn’t make out its human form. The two were directly using their ultimate secret techniques.

The shadow of their Divine Souls emerged. This was the state of a Refining God Heavenly Man when using all his strength and attacking with full force.

However, could Li Xuan’s strike be resisted by merely two early-stage Refining God Heavenly Men?

In mid-air, there seemed to be a black vortex, swallowing and annihilating everything!

Puh!

With a single palm strike, the two Refining God Heavenly Men were obliterated.

They didn’t even have a chance to let out a scream.

Li Xuan lowered his hand as if he had just slapped two insignificant ants to death. He picked up his cup and drank the spiritual tea that Su Lingxiu had just poured.
