Qin Jiao stood up and moved her bones. She pondered the distance from Qinghe County to this place.
After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, “Now that I’ve reached the tenth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm, I’ll probably reach Qinghe County in less than four hours.”
“I wonder what cultivation Chen Qianxue has broken through to, and what cultivation Fu Shuangni has broken through to…”
“I remember that both of them are in Qinghe County.”
The moment she finished speaking, Qin Jiao shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind and took out a flying sword. Just as she was about to ride it and fly away, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a stream of light above her head. It flashed and disappeared.
In the darkness of the night, this stream of light was particularly eye-catching!
It made Qin Jiao stop her actions for a moment and narrowed her eyes. “What a fast speed. It’s at least an Immortal cultivator at the Golden Core stage, right? Why does it seem like the direction the other party is heading in is also the direction of Qinghe County?”
Qin Jiao suddenly had a bad premonition.
Hiss!
Could he be heading for Chen Qianxue or Fu Shuangni?
What was she saying?
Perhaps, he was just passing by?
Yes!
He should be passing by!
…
Time passed.
When Qin Jiao was about two hours away from Qinghe County, a figure appeared in the sky above Qinghe County. It was an old man who looked quite old.
“The Holy Maiden’s aura is the strongest here.” The old man’s voice was a bit hoarse. “If I remember correctly… this should be Qinghe County, right?”
“The last time I came here, I forgot how many hundred years ago it was. The change is so great! It looks completely different from what I remember.”
The old man’s body emitted a shocking aura, which was enough to shock people with his powerful cultivation!
However, he very well bound this shocking aura around his body.
He did not allow this aura to spread out.
As a result, if it was not someone who was particularly close to him, they might think that he was just a white-haired old man who looked quite imposing at first glance.
His spiritual sense enveloped Qinghe county, carefully sensing the aura related to Chen Qianxue.
However, in the next moment, his attention was drawn to another place.
“Hmm?” The old man shifted his gaze and looked down at the ruins in Qinghe County, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. “There is a remnant of the bloody Qi left over from the battle. It can turn such a large area into ruins and even create a huge pit.”
The old man slowly frowned. “This shouldn’t have much to do with the Holy Maiden, right? The old man remembered that the Holy Maiden was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, she wasn’t considered a powerful existence among the Foundation Establishment stage.”
He shook his head. He was not interested in things that had nothing to do with Chen Qianxue.
Then, his spiritual sense continued to track Chen Qianxue’s aura step by step.
After about half the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the old man’s eyes lit up!
“As expected!” His eyes were fixed on an area in Qinghe County, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a very stiff smile. It was the kind of stiff smile that could scare a child to tears.
The old man said to himself, “Your Excellency, it is indeed in Qinghe County. My spiritual sense has not deteriorated.”
His figure suddenly became illusory.
The next moment, he suddenly disappeared!
When he reappeared, he was already standing on a long street in Qinghe County. He did not hide his existence.
His sudden appearance gave the people on the street a big fright. They could not help but gasp and their scalps went numb!
Although the night market in Qinghe County was deserted, it was not empty.
The sudden appearance of the old man made the surrounding people think that they had seen a ghost!
The old man ignored them. He looked at the buildings in front of him that were on the verge of collapse.
He walked in.
His existence in Qinghe County was like a big light bulb at night. Moreover, the old man had already arrived where Chen Qianxue was. How could Chen Qianxue not sense him?
Before the old man called Chen Qianxue out, Chen Qianxue had already taken the initiative to come out.
Of course, Chen Qianxue was not completely unprepared.
She had a spiritual weapon that could conceal her cultivation. As long as the other party was not a Nascent Soul stage Immortal cultivator, it would be difficult for him to see through her cultivation. However, this spiritual weapon was also a one-time use item and could only last for less than half a day.
This was what she had obtained from the simulator in the past.
As soon as she came out, she opened her mouth and said, “May I know why Elder Tie personally came out to look for this junior? This junior should not have committed any taboo in the Spirit Sword Sect, right? This junior is indeed somewhat surprised that a dignified Enforcement Elder has come.”
The old man was surprisingly also a member of the Spirit Sword Sect, and moreover, he was the Spirit Sword Sect’s Enforcement Elder!
The Enforcement Elder, the moment he heard this name, he knew that it was not simple.
The Spirit Sword Sect’s Enforcement Elder was indeed not simple.
The Enforcement Elder had a very special position in the Spirit Sword Sect, and at the same time, his strength was also very strong. Besides the Spirit Sword Sect’s Supreme Elders and the Spirit Sword Sect’s Sect Master… His cultivation was the highest in the sect!
Chen Qianxue remembered that this Elder Tie’s cultivation was at the tenth level of the Golden Core!
Moreover…
She vaguely heard from others that this Elder Tie had already reached the tenth layer of the Golden Core stage 300 years ago.
This meant that this Spirit Sword Sect’s Elder Tie was not far away from the Nascent Soul stage.
The difference…
Might just be an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Chen Qianxue clearly didn’t quite understand why the other party would come knocking on her door.
Moreover, it was personally coming knocking on her door.
Elder Tie’s reply was a bit stiff. He did not seem to be very good at communicating with others, and the tone of his voice was so strong that it could not be refused. It also revealed his rigid personality. “Your Holiness the Holy Maiden didn’t touch any of the sect’s taboo rules. It was Senior Brother who asked me to bring Your Holiness back to the Spirit Sword Sect.”
“This old man is also very puzzled. Why didn’t he send a few disciples out to bring Your Holiness back? But Senior Brother said that ordinary disciples wouldn’t be able to bring Your Holiness back.”
“This old man doesn’t know what happened, but since Senior Brother has already spoken, this old man will come over.”
“In any case, it won’t take much effort.”
Chen Qianxue was startled, her beautiful brows slightly knitted. She remembered that this Elder Tie’s master was a Supreme Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Moreover, it was a Supreme Elder that made her very displeased. This Elder Tie’s master was that Spirit Sword Sect’s Elder Yu!
The reason why Chen Qianxue left the Spirit Sword Sect was to avoid that Supreme Elder, because that Supreme Elder wanted her to marry the Spirit Sword Sect’s Holy Son.
This was something that Chen Qianxue could not accept.
What Chen Qianxue didn’t expect was that her intention to avoid seemed to have been seen through by the other party. That Elder Yu even directly asked his Junior Brother, Elder Tie, to come out of the mountain and bring her back.
Chen Qianxue’s beautiful brows furrowed even deeper.
She wasn’t a match for that Supreme Elder, and her authority in the Spirit Sword Sect was even less than the other party’s.
If she offended the Spirit Sword Sect when she returned.
She was afraid that her arm would not be able to beat her thigh.
It would be easy for her to fall into it!
Chen Qianxue was also quite helpless about this. Who would have thought that one day, this Spirit Sword Sect’s Holy Maiden would actually view the Spirit Sword Sect as a dragon’s den or a tiger’s den, not daring to easily return?
“Elder Tie.” Chen Qianxue said, “This junior only left the Spirit Sword Sect after accepting the sect’s mission. I still need to complete the sect’s mission before I can return to the Spirit Sword Sect.”
Elder Tie said, “One of the rules of the Spirit Sword Sect, the orders of the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder are above everything else. Your Holiness, you don’t need to care about the sect’s mission.”
Chen Qianxue asked, “What if I’m not willing to return to the Spirit Sword Sect?”
Elder Tie did not answer, but instead asked, “The reason?”
Chen Qianxue smiled and said, “I don’t want to see the ugly faces of some people who take advantage of their seniority, and I don’t want to become the tool of some people who want to fight for power and profit. May I ask Elder Tie, are these two reasons enough?”
“Not enough.” Elder Tie shook his head. “This old man has no interest in these things. This old man is only bringing Holy Maiden back. Asking the reason is only because of your special status.”
“If you were an ordinary disciple of the sect, this old man would have brought you back long ago.”
With that said, Elder Tie suddenly stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Chen Qianxue’s sleeve.
It was as if he had locked onto Chen Qianxue.
Even if the speed was not fast, Chen Qianxue found that she could not avoid the other party’s hand at all!
“Then this junior can only ask Elder Tie for some advice.”
Chen Qianxue released her aura!
The strength of the first layer of the Golden Core stage.
It was undoubtedly displayed!
“Oh?”Elder Tie’s action paused, and his expressionless face revealed a rare look of shock. “Golden Core Realm? ! ! !”
