Chapter 19: Demon Island Master
Li Qingque ignored Cha Kun's departure. When he saw Ye Tianjing riding the sword rainbow and rushing towards him, Li Qingque's eyes turned cold.

"Get out of here! Or you'll all die together!"

Seeing that Li Qingque did not dodge or evade, and blocked his way to kill Zhang Qian, Ye Tianjing didn't care who this woman was, and the sword rainbow covered Li Qingque as well.

"I, Li Qingque, have not been out of the world for a long time. It seems that the world has forgotten my fame!"

Although she knew that she was being used by Zhang Qian to ward off disaster, Li Qingque did not take it to heart. She held the scarlet divine sword, with a terrifying aura flashing. A bright moon rose behind her, emitting a magnificent lunar divine light. With a slight shake, the sword rainbow controlled by Ye Tianjing was shattered!

puff!
Ye Tianjing's figure flew out directly, the emerald green sword ball wailed, its spiritual light dimmed, and it fell to the ground.

"Dharma-situation! You are the Dharma-situation master!"

Ye Tianjing collapsed to the ground with a horrified look on his face. When he saw the bright moon rising behind Li Qingque, Ye Tianjing knew that this bright moon was clearly Li Qingque's Dharma image!
Generally speaking, those in the Dharma Realm are old monsters who have not appeared in the world for a long time. Ye Tianjing never thought that he would be so unlucky to encounter one.

After a cultivator has achieved perfection in the Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir, he will enter the Yin God realm. He will use the energy of the Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir to nourish his Yin God bit by bit until the Yin God is fully grown. At this time, he will merge the Yin God with his own spiritual inspiration into one, which is the Dharmakāya!
Li Qingque, a powerful Dharmakāya master, had cultivation levels several levels higher than Ye Tianjing. In their fight, Ye Tianjing was simply no match for him.

"You...you are Li Qingque!"

Ye Tianjing looked carefully and finally recognized the person in front of him.

"Oh? You know me?"

Ye Tianjing stood up and bowed to Li Qingque, saying respectfully, "My grandson is a disciple of Jianhu Palace. Senior, you are the master of the Jianhu Palace's Demon Refining Island. When the Huangquan Demon Sect invaded Xingyun Province, your reputation on the battlefield spread throughout Xingyun Province. How could I not know you? I apologize for any offense I have just caused. I have a deep hatred for that little thief. Please allow me to kill him and avenge my disciple!"

"Your grandson is actually a disciple of my Jianhu Palace? Why don't you let him join the Mangcang Sword Sect?"

Li Qingque's eyes moved, and he put away the magic sword in his hand, leaving only the bright moon image behind him.

"Excuse me, senior. Jian Hu Palace is one of the ancient great sects in Xingyun Province, with infinite heritage. How can our Mangcang Sword Sect compare to it? My grandson has some qualifications, and it is his honor to be able to join Jian Hu Palace."

Li Qingque frowned slightly: "I remember now, is your grandson called Ye Lingxiao?"

Ye Tianjing's face lit up: "Exactly, Senior knows?"

"Humph, forget it. Since you have something to do with my Jianhu Palace, I'll just forget about offending me. Go away!"

Ye Tianjing's face turned anxious: "This... that little thief."

"I still have use for him. Why? You don't agree?"

Seeing Li Qingque's cold eyes, Ye Tianjing's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly said, "How dare I? Since that little thief is useful to you, senior, I will naturally not fight for him. However, that little thief is extremely cunning, cruel and vicious, so you should be careful."

Zhang Qian, who was hiding underground, heard the conversation between the two clearly. When he learned that Li Qingque was a great Dharma master, he was immediately shocked.

"This beautiful female cultivator looks only in her twenties, and has the appearance of a queen with a gorgeous figure. Who would have thought that she is actually a great master of the Sword Gourd Palace who has cultivated a Dharma image, or the owner of some Demon Refining Island! And judging from her Dharma image, it looks like a bright moon, so Li Qingque's spiritual power is actually at the Taichu level!"

Those with the innate level of spiritual inspiration can already be called geniuses, but above the innate level there is a more miraculous primordial level. The spiritual inspirations of cultivators at the primordial level are all the miraculous sun, moon and stars!
Just when Zhang Qian was secretly complaining, he immediately became unhappy when he heard Ye Tianjing say that he was cruel and vicious. He also wanted to leave a good impression on Li Qingque so that he could learn some sword skills from her. How could he allow Ye Tianjing to slander him, so he hurriedly showed up.

"Fairy, don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is ten or a hundred times more cunning, cruel, and vicious than me. His grandson came to the Jianhu Palace with bad intentions. He might be a spy and traitor sent by the Mangcang Sword Sect to the Jianhu Palace. We must be on guard!"

"What did you say? You little devil! I'll kill you!"

Ye Tianjing was furious. He stretched out his hand to recall his emerald green sword ball and was about to take action.

"What? You're angry because I exposed your plan, and you want to kill me to silence me?"

Zhang Qian showed a playful smile, which made Ye Tianjing even angrier.

"me!"

Ye Tianjing was shaking with anger. Due to Li Qingque's presence, he really didn't dare to take action. He could only stare at Zhang Qian with a horrifying look that was full of murderous intent.

Zhang Qian didn't care about Ye Tianjing's eyes at all. When others saw a powerful golden elixir master, they would all be submissive and respectful.

But Zhang Qian was a prehistoric golden immortal in his previous life, a golden elixir? He was just not good enough, and any little demon in the prehistoric world could be killed with one claw!

"That's enough! Go away."

Hearing Li Qingque's scolding, Ye Tianjing glared at Zhang Qian hatefully, turned around and rode away on Jianhong with an unwilling look on his face.

Seeing Ye Tianjing leave, Zhang Qian rolled his eyes and began to apply eye drops: "Thank you for saving my life, fairy, but how come this grandson of Ye Tianjing joined the Sword Gourd Palace? What if that Ye Lingxiao's status rises, he gets hold of the Sword Gourd Palace's treasure, and rebels against the Sword Gourd Palace?"

Li Qingque gave Zhang Qian a strange look. As the owner of the prestigious Jianhu Palace Demon Refining Island, everyone was usually respectful to her. But this boy in front of her clearly knew that she was a great Dharmakaya, but there was still no respect in his words, as if they were treating each other as equals.

This made Li Qingque even more curious about Zhang Qian.

“Humph, Ye Lingxiao possesses the Primordial Spirit, and is one of the peerless geniuses of my Jianhu Palace, just like Xiao Daoyi. A mere Mangcang Sword Sect doesn’t have the guts to play tricks on him.” Zhang Qian secretly complained when he heard this: “Ye Tianjing’s grandson is actually a peerless genius who possesses the Primordial Spirit. It’s really unexpected.”

Seeing Zhang Qian's eyes rolling around, Li Qingque frowned slightly, glanced at Zhang Qian, and said, "The blood-red sword energy you used before contained a kind of sword intent that I have never seen before. With your current realm, you should not have received systematic sword training. How did you comprehend that sword intent that kills everything?"

This is exactly what Li Qingque is extremely puzzled about. As the master of the Demon Refining Island in the Sword Gourd Palace, Li Qingque knows very well that sword intent is not so easy to comprehend. Even the simplest sword intent is basically impossible to comprehend without the foundation of mana realm, without opening up the sea of ​​consciousness and generating spiritual consciousness.

However, although Zhang Qian was only at the spiritual level, he comprehended the sword intent that even she was deeply shocked.

"Please let the fairy know. I don't know what happened either. This sword intent seems to be bestowed by heaven. Some time ago, when I was still the god of Lishui River, I inexplicably understood it. It seems that this sword intent has been immersed in my body and suddenly awakened."

"Are you telling the truth?"

Li Qingque glared with some doubt in her eyes. She had never heard of the sword being bestowed by heaven. However, she had been practicing for so many years and had seen all kinds of strange geniuses. So she was not surprised by Zhang Qian's statement.

"Of course it's the truth, there's no deception!"

Zhang Qian's tone was firm and the smile on his face seemed very innocent.

"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise...!"

Li Qingque looked at Zhang Qian deeply, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. A red fire cloud appeared. The fire cloud flashed gently, lifting himself and Zhang Qian up into the sky.

Zhang Qian was slightly startled. It was the first time he flew so high after his rebirth.

"Where are you taking me?"

Zhang Qian was extremely confused. Although he had some feelings for Li Qingque, he was still a little worried about being taken away in such an unclear manner.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Li Qingque shouted, causing Zhang Qian to narrow his eyes.

This fire cloud was flying at an incredibly fast speed. After all, Li Qingque was a great Dharma master and was extremely proficient in the art of flying. Zhang Qian took a look and found that it was flying in the direction of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Where are we going?"

Hearing Zhang Qianxiang's question, Li Qingque didn't even turn his head and ignored him.

Zhang Qian asked a few more times, but seeing that Li Qingque ignored him, he could only stop talking in disappointment. Although Li Qingque's tone was very bad, he did not show any murderous intent, so Zhang Qian was not worried about falling into a trap.

Two hours passed unknowingly, and the fire cloud carried the two to the vicinity of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, Li Qingque did not enter the capital, but stopped outside the towering city wall and flew towards a small hill outside the capital.

It was not until he flew to the hill that Zhang Qian saw a dilapidated Taoist temple behind this inconspicuous hill.

brush!
The fire cloud landed in front of the Taoist temple.

Li Qingque stretched out his palm and waved it, and the old man's gate flew out directly.

"follow me!"

Zhang Qian followed Li Qingque into the Taoist temple. After looking around, he found that there was no one in the temple. It was an abandoned temple.

The entire Taoist temple has only one main hall and two side rooms on both sides of the main hall. In the main hall there is a headless stone statue, and no one knows what kind of deity it is.

Li Qingque frowned and looked around the Taoist temple, then shouted, "Go clean it up. If there's even a speck of dust, I'll make you pay!"

Zhang Qian said nothing and walked slowly into the main hall. With a thought, he used a water magic. A surging stream of water spread out and submerged the three houses of the Taoist temple.

Strangely, the surging water did not cause any damage. Instead, the water swept around and swept away all the dust and debris in the Taoist temple.

Wow!

The stream of water carrying dust flew to the outside of the Taoist temple, and the entire temple immediately became clean.

Li Qingque's expression changed slightly. She realized that Zhang Qian had made great use of this simple water magic.

"What on earth do you want to do by bringing me here?"

Li Qingque did not answer. After a while, he said, "Let me ask you, since you know my Jianhu Palace, and you have great talent in swordsmanship, are you willing to join the Jianhu Palace and become my disciple?"

"what?!"

Zhang Qian was surprised. He didn't expect that Li Qingque actually wanted to take him as his disciple.
