I am called Baili Feng, I am known as the 'Golden Needle Dark Phoenix', and your master also called us' Dragon and Phoenix '. We have been engaged since we were young, but unfortunately, in order to pursue the limits of our martial arts cultivation, we were never married, and we have been inseparable for dozens of years, so neither of us mentioned anything about marriage. However, after encountering your master's destined opponent, the Nan Gong Ba Dao that is known as the 'Rampage Blade', everything changed. The Nan Gong Ba Dao is ten years older than your master, and he also carried the title of being a genius to sweep across the world, so the battle between your master and his pinnacle will inevitably occur. He knew that if he was unable to defeat Nan Gong Ba Dao, then he would never be able to reach the peak of martial arts in his lifetime. However, the last failure made him completely lose his confidence. And right at that time, Nan Gong Ba Dao brought up a choice that your master would find hard to reject. He told your master to choose between me and a cultivation technique that can defeat him, and your master chose that cultivation technique in the end, but after reading that cultivation technique, your master found out that it was incomplete, so he went back to look for the Nan Gong Ba Blade. But what he saw was not Nan Gong Ba Dao, but me, because Nan Gong Ba Blade had left the remaining part to me. At this time, your master finally understood that Nan Gong Ba Dao wanted to make him value my existence, but when your master realized all of this, he felt that he had let me down and in a moment of anger, he came to this Sword Soul Island, and I had also chased him here. However, in the end, we were never able to meet, but I knew that he had yet to leave this continent. When I rushed over, I only saw the heavily injured Nan Gong Ba Dao. According to him, your master's strength has already touched the edge of the Heaven Stage, and the technique he used to defeat him was entirely his own. After a while, I found a place to live in seclusion. I hope that after you understand everything, you can bring your Master here. If he doesn't want to see me, even if I know where he's staying, I will never see him. "
"Senior, I feel that this is my master's fault. He dares to accept the responsibility of a man, and since he knows that he is wrong, he should take the initiative to apologize to you. Don't worry, I have a way to make him come."
"Really?" Baili Feng cried tears of joy when she heard Li Xun's promise.
"I've already confirmed that you are a mistress. You can rest assured." Every time Li Xun thought about the Non-Phase Sword Art he had asked this old man about the origins of the Heaven's Fury Heart Sutra, the old man would say something evasive. Moreover, Li Xun remembered that when he was young, he had secretly seen this old man getting drunk before, and getting drunk was almost impossible for this old man, unless he was completely focused on getting drunk and had even called him "Feng Er" before. This old man must have had a story with this prospective mistress in his heart. Moreover, in Li Xun's opinion, the two of them were just missing someone who was related to each other, while he himself was the best intermediary. That Nan Gong Ba Dao was originally quite a suitable person, but no matter how he looked at it, his actions were a little dishonest.
"Xun'er, do you know why that pretty girl changed her appearance?"
"Mistress, are you talking about Qin Qing? Did she change her appearance? I really don't know. " Li Xun was shocked. If Qin Qingzhen had changed his appearance, then it would have taken at least ten years.
When Baili Feng heard the two words "Mistress", even though she had cultivated quietly for a hundred years, his heart was still in turmoil. The more she looked at Li Xun, the more satisfied she became. Baili Feng was such a person. Once she recognized you, she would be able to remove any threat to you from the bud. When he tested Li Xun previously, if Li Xun had casually agreed to Baili Feng's request, he would probably be a corpse now.
"I'll ask for you later. Remember, if anyone can threaten your safety, you will die without regret." When Baili Feng said this, the gentleness from before disappeared and was replaced by viciousness.
The old man had told him the same thing before. Not only that, even their expressions were the same. It seemed the two of them really matched each other.
"Oh yeah, Mistress, you just said that Master's strength touched the Heaven Stage a hundred and twenty years ago, why have I never heard of the words' Heaven Stage '?"
"Ordinary cultivators only know that there are differences in strength between the twelfth step, but only those who have truly reached the peak of the twelfth step will understand that this is just a new beginning. There is still a third step of the Heaven, Heaven, Earth and Mortal, after breaking through the twelfth step, you will reach the Human Stage. Above the Human Stage is the Earth Stage, mountains and rivers can become your source of power. In this aspect, demon beasts and spirit beasts do have an advantage over humans, but humans can spend a hundred years to reach this step. In contrast, demon beasts and spirit beasts, without a thousand years of cultivation, are impossible to reach, and the amount of time and energy they spend on each step is incomparable to that of humans. "
When Li Xun heard this, he felt that the world had become even more vast. He originally thought that his own strength of twenty years of age to reach the Ninth Order was already very impressive. He hadn't thought that there would be a third step beyond the twelfth step. Although Baili Feng's description was very general, Li Xun could guess that every step of the third step was worlds apart.
"Xun Er, if you want to breakthrough to Rank 12, you must find a Spirit Beast that matches your attributes and accept it as your Fate Spirit Beast. Otherwise, you won't be able to succeed no matter how talented you are. "Actually, I shouldn't have told you too early if I didn't see you with a Purple Spirit Fire Fox, but since you managed to obtain the Purple Spirit Fire Fox's friendship, it means that you must have some sort of fate with spirit beasts. There is a country of Yin Zhou in the eastern part of the continent, and I once heard a legend about a Spiritual Wood God Monkey from there; although it isn't as powerful as the Purple Spirit Fire Fox, it's about the same thing, so if you can't find a suitable spirit beast, you can go there to take a look."
"Thank you for your guidance, Madam. Xun Er, remember this."
"Yes." Go and call in that girl with the disguise. "
When they saw that Li Xun had come out safe and sound, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing how everyone was worried for him, Li Xun consoled Qin Wentian before bringing Qin Qing to see Baili Feng.
"Little girl, why must you disguise yourself?" Baili Feng's gaze turned sharp.
Qin Qing was astonished in her heart. She didn't expect that her disguise technique would be seen through by the person in front of her. How shocking was her strength then? After that, Qin Qing discovered that she was no longer able to move. However, this feeling of weakness disappeared in a few breaths' time.
"You better tell the truth and not hide anything. As long as what you say is reasonable, I guarantee that only the three of us know what happened today. If you dare to lie, you should be able to think of the consequences."
Qin Qing stood there, closed her eyes, and thought for a while. She slowly tore off a layer of skin that was as thin as a cicada's wing, revealing an exquisite face that could only be described as perfect. Li Xun and Baili Feng, who were standing to the side, were attracted by this beautiful face.
"Senior, if I were to say that it was just to conceal my appearance and reduce the amount of trouble, you would definitely not believe me."
"You'd better be honest."
Qin Qing knew that if she did not tell him the truth today, even if she hid it a little, she might not have a good ending. To be able to see through the disguise technique that no one had discovered for more than ten years, how could she not hear the truth in her words? "My surname is Baili, and I have a single name, but I have been brought up by a wet nurse since I was young.
"Your surname is actually Baili, that's quite a rare surname." Baili Feng's words were filled with killing intent, causing even Li Xun to feel unwell. Li Xun did not know that although the Sword Soul Island was huge, there were only two people with the surname 'Baili'. Unless they were people from the Sword Soul Continent, Baili Feng knew this very well.
The sudden immense pressure caused Qin Qing to spit out blood as she fell to the ground, her face as pale as paper. Even though Li Xun's heart ached, he knew that it was not the time to interfere. Baili Feng definitely had her reasons for doing so.
"Senior, I'm not lying." Qin Qing's voice was a little hoarse, but even more of it was filled with sadness and desolation.
Baili Feng did not speak, but made a few strange gestures with his hands. A look of disbelief appeared on Qin Qing's face as she replied with a few strange gestures.
"I didn't expect that you would be a descendant of the direct line of descent of our Hundred Miles Clan. Why did you come to this Sword Soul Island?"
Hearing Baili Feng's question, for a moment, Qin Qing didn't know what to say. She actually burst into tears and fainted very quickly.
Baili Feng hurriedly went forth to hug Qin Qing and pressed a few of her major acupoints. He then took out a purplish-green pill and fed it to Qin Qing. After a while, Qin Lie woke up. His face had also recovered some color. However, he seemed to have thought of something sad and was about to cry.
"Child, what's the matter?"
Qin Qing wiped her tears away and got up to kneel in front of Baili Feng. Senior, may I know which senior in the clan you are? "
"I'm called the 'Phoenix'. I'm known as the 'Golden Needle Netherworld Phoenix'."
"You're one of the 'Dragon and Phoenix Dignity' of that year, Baili Feng?"
Baili Feng nodded.
"The heavens have eyes, I am finally able to see you."
"Hundred Miles of Phoenix's face became solemn, as if she had sensed something." Tell me why you came to this Sword Soul Island. "
"Senior, the Hundred Miles Clan is finished." Qin Qing's words were filled with a sense of powerlessness.
"What?" Baili Feng was greatly alarmed. His sudden outburst of emotions made the people outside the courtyard shudder, even Tian Zhen was no exception. Although they wanted to go in and see what was going on, no one was able to move.
"Senior, 18 years ago, at the election ceremony, which was held every twenty years, the successor to the clan leader of our Hundred Miles Clan, because of the collusion of traitors with the Thousand Leaves Clan, the elites of the Hundred Miles Clan were all slaughtered, several clan elders were also killed miserably because of the insider poisoning, and a senior called Nan Gong Ba Dao helped us, the few of us who were still in our infancy, survive. When we were three years old, Elder Nan Gong Ba Dao arranged for us to come to the Sword Soul Island, while he himself stayed in the Sword Soul Continent to help the remaining clansmen deal with the Thousand Leaves Clan." As Qin Qing said this, she couldn't help crying bitterly again.
Li Xun, who was standing at the side, was also deeply moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that Qin Qing and his background would be so similar.
"How many of you are here?"
"Besides me and my wet nurse, there are six other people, four men and two women. They have been separated into other sects and we have met four years ago. Senior Nan Gong Ba Dao once told us to look for you and Senior Absolute Sword Hong Long, but we had secretly asked our sect's elders, they said that they had only heard of Senior Hong's name, but that was over a hundred years ago. I truly did not expect that I would be able to meet you here today. I hope that Senior Feng can help us take charge of the situation. "
"The Thousandleaf Family? "Just you all wait, our Hundred Miles Clan is not dead yet." Baili Feng laughed derisively.
