859 Zhu Ling – Jing Shen

Unlike those disciples, Kong Tianhe and Qiao Xiang were not interested in dual cultivating with the two women, so they left the dual cultivation hall together with Meng Qi, especially after they couldn’t find Mao Erlong and Shang Meiqi.

However, Kong Tianhe rushed back to his private place, and Meng Qi continued to cling to her partner. “Do you think their presence in our sect won’t bring us trouble, Xiang?”

“That might happen.” Qiao Xiang responded with a nod. “However, Sect Master must have taken everything into account, or else he wouldn’t allow Elder Chuqing to do such a thing. Moreover, their presence in our sect will be of great help to other disciples, especially since those heretics have become increasingly aggressive; even two important clans have fallen because of them, so we need many stronger cultivators to face them in the future.”

Meng Qi sighed heavily at this. “I hope that those heretics will vanish forever so that we can live in peace and no longer experience feelings of fear toward them.”

“Not only do you have such a wish, but all cultivators have the same wish.” Qiao Xiang then looked up at the night sky and exhaled softly. Unfortunately, problems will always arise in a cultivator’s life, and the only thing we can do is train to be strong so that we won’t be under their control.”

“What would you do if Shang Meiqi already had a new partner? Would you try to snatch her away from that person?” Hearing that, Qiao Xiang stopped walking and looked at Meng Qi with raised eyebrows. “I know you like her, but our sect rules clearly prohibit us from snatching other people’s partners. Moreover, you were already kicked out of the Qiao Clan, and your situation would be even worse if the Sect Master also expelled you from the sect. That’s why I hope you won’t do such a stupid act, or you’ll suffer yourself.”

Qiao Xiang didn’t immediately respond to her, and he continued walking, but his mind was filled with her questions just now, which made him confused about making a decision, especially since he was very interested in Shang Meiqi. .𝘤𝘰𝑚

‘Sigh, it looks like Xiang won’t listen to me about this matter, and I can only hope that he won’t get into trouble because of Shang Meiqi.’ Meng Qi could only sigh in her heart as she accompanied Qiao Xiang to enjoy the night.

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhen asked as soon as the spirit emperor walked into the room. “Where have you been, Zhu Ling? Why have you disappeared for a week?”

Zhu Ling immediately sat down on his chair before telling him. “I went to Jia Yubai to ask for his help in finding Luxuria and Ling Yun, but that old man rejected me.”

However, Jin Sheng was not surprised after hearing that. “Jia Yubai has always been like that; even your predecessors couldn’t force him, especially since he is a special being in our race. Did he tell you the reason he refused to help you?”

“Yes.” Zhu Ling nodded to him. “He asked me not to hunt them, or I would hurt myself and our race, and he also said that it would bring disaster to this universe.”

“Hmm?” Jin Sheng frowned for a moment before taking a book from the shelf, and he read each page one by one seriously.

Seeing his expression like that, Zhu Ling asked him. “What are you reading, Jin Sheng?”

“You can read it yourself.” Jing Shen said this as he sent the book to Zhu Ling.

As he was curious about it, Zhu Ling read the book, but he frowned before looking at Jin Sheng. “Aren’t these the three prophecies that Tang Xiao gave to the nature races in the past? What connection do they have with Ling Yun and Luxuria?”

“Honestly, I don’t have a definite answer to that, but Jia Yubai’s words remind me of them.” Jing Shen answered as he moved next to Zhu Ling, and he then pointed to the first prophecy. “We both know that Luxuria never got close to a man again after her first host died, but she suddenly became close to Ling Yun, and she even dared to take such a huge risk for his sake. Do you think she would do such a thing if he were an ordinary human? That’s why I guessed that he was the man in this prophecy.”

“You mean Ling Yun is the man who possesses the nine elements?” Zhu Ling looked at him in disbelief.

“For now, that’s just my guess.” Jing Shen then pointed to the second phropecy. “I heard from the other races that mythical beasts have started to reappeared; even Xian Di had encountered a few phoenixes several hundred years ago, and their appearance must be related to the second phropecy. If Ling Yun is the man with the nine elements, then I think one of them is on his side now.”

“What do you think about the third prophecy?”

“Hmm?” Jing Shen thought as he continued to rub his long beard. “If Jia Yubai really says that to you, I’m afraid that our actions might trigger the third prophecy, so-.”

“Do you want me to stop hunting them?” Zhu Ling asked seriously; even his forehead was covered in black lines.

“No.” Jing Shen shook his head at him. “Luxuria violated our race’s taboo, and she did it for Ling Yun’s sake, so we still have to capture them. However, I don’t think we need to use force in doing so, and we can think of a better way to do it.”

“Do you have a better idea?” Jing Sheng did not immediately answer his question and waved his hand, and the interior of the room changed, with hundreds or thousands of crystals floating on the ceiling. Soon, he pulled a golden crystal over, and Zhu Ling grabbed it. “Isn’t this Lei Lin’s crystal?”

“Yes.” Jing Shen nodded to him. “A few days ago, I felt her presence, which meant she had used her true form, but I couldn’t activate the crystal, so I chose to wait for you to return.”

Zhu Ling touched the golden crystal with his forefinger, and several images appeared in front of them, which were images of Lei Lin helping Meng Xianzi capture Huang Ba. “Oh? She has a relationship with the two-faced fox, which means she should be in the upper realms now, but since when did Nu Shen and that little elf be with them? Moreover, that kid is the young master of the Huang Clan, and his clan had relations with those heretics, but he fell into their hands now.”

“They should be in those three adjacent realms.” Zhu Lin nodded in agreement with that, but Jing Shen then pointed at the picture of Long Yuyi. “Do you feel something familiar about that girl?”

Zhu Ling narrowed his eyes and observed Long Yuyi’s image seriously. “That’s right, but I don’t know for sure about it. Anyway, you can contact Lei Zhong or the others and order them to go to Sky Cloud Realm directly, but you must tell them not to act immediately and wait for my orders.”

“What about the five spirit immortals? Are you also going to send them to that realm directly?”

“You can tell them too, but I’m not sure if they can do anything to Lei Lin, especially with Meng Xianzi being beside her, and she might capture them instead.” After that, all the images disappeared, and Zhu Ling returned the golden crystal to the ceiling, which made the interior of the room return to its original state. “Anyway, I’m sure that Nu Wang is planning something by sending her daughter to that realm, so I’ll go see her now to ask about this matter.”

After he disappeared, Jing Shen contacted the spirit guardians to turn around and head to Sky Cloud Realm directly, and he also contacted the five spirit immortals as Zhu Ling ordered. However, he asked them not to do anything directly, especially since he was worried that their actions might trigger the third prophecy.

When Ling Yun opened his eyes, Yue Tu had disappeared from his room, but he saw Zhou Yu smiling at him, so he pulled her into a hug and kissed her for a moment. “What about those disciples? Are they willing to join the new Lotus Sect?”

“En.” Zhou Yu nodded before telling him. “They had agreed to become the first batch of new disciples, and Lian Bing had given them the dual cultivation technique along with the pill containing your Yang Qi. At first, they seemed to object to it, but she managed to convince them, so the new Lotus Sect is no longer an ordinary sect like the old one, but it can be said to be a dual cultivation sect now.”

“That’s good.” Ling Yun then carried Zhou Yu out of bed. “Anyway, I was thinking of meeting the female disciples who had swallowed my yang qi to make an offer to them, and I wanted you to accompany me to meet them, especially since they are much stronger than me.”

“Are you thinking about taking them to that mysterious realm?”

“Yes.” Ling Yun nodded to her. “I need a lot of women to open the seventh and eighth seals at once, but I can’t spend much time to stay in the sect, so I’m thinking of bringing them there, and I’ll think of a way to get them while there.”
