Chapter 317 Confrontation in the Palace
"Humph, you are the only one who has many crooked ideas, but your demons are quite resourceful. They have subdued 100,000 disciples on the island in a short period of time. Now many disciples on the island like to ask you for advice. Now that you have returned in your true form, I hope you won't find it troublesome when those disciples come to you for advice."

When Zhang Qian performed the art of shape-shifting with Mo Er before, he had already known everything that had happened on the Demon Refining Island during this period through mental connection with Mo Er. Naturally, he knew what Mo Er had done, so he smiled slightly and didn't care.

Although the cultivation base of the 100,000 disciples on the Demon Refining Island is very low, there are still some good talents. Among them, there are several people with innate intelligence and they are all geniuses.

Li Qingque was very satisfied that he could find a few geniuses with innate spiritual power among the 100,000 disciples. During this period, Li Qingque devoted all his efforts to the training of those geniuses and spent a lot of resources.

Along the way, Zhang Qian accompanied the handsome Li Qingque. Although he was itching to go, he did not dare to act recklessly. At this moment, the two of them had flown out of the Demon Refining Island and approached the huge void island in the sky.

When the two of them landed on the Void Island, they did not cause any noise. At this moment, the entire Void Island seemed silent. When Zhang Qian followed Li Qingque through the long stone steps and came to the outside of the sect's main hall, he immediately heard bursts of quarrels.

"...Li Qingcheng, don't push your luck too far. Ye Lingxiao used tricks to take away 20% of our Mangcang Mountain's luck. Now that he has returned safely, this luck must be returned!"

A very determined voice sounded, full of dissatisfaction.

Zhang Qian's heart moved, and he secretly guessed that this should be Xu Jingyang, the leader of Mangcang Mountain.

Zhang Qian was a little surprised that Xu Jingyang dared to speak to Li Qingcheng like that.

After all, Xu Jingyang's cultivation is still quite far behind Li Qingcheng's.

"Master Xu, please be patient. This matter will be judged by the public. When Xiao'er arrives, I will ask him personally!"

Li Qingcheng's voice sounded, Zhang Qian and Li Qingque looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and stepped into the sect's main hall!

The situation in the sect's main hall remained the same as before. Li Qingcheng and a group of elders were facing Xu Jingyang and others who looked angry.

"Meet the Supreme Master!"

After Zhang Qian and Li Qingque exchanged greetings, Li Qingcheng glanced at Zhang Qian and said with some surprise: "Hey, your cultivation has broken through? Not bad!"

Now Zhang Qian has shown the realm of the middle stage of Zhen Yuan. For Zhang Qian, who has only been practicing for a short time, this is a terrifying breakthrough speed. It is not much slower than those peerless geniuses who possess the primordial inspiration, and his breakthrough speed is even faster.

"Master, you are too kind. I just made the breakthrough by accident. It's pure luck."

"Sit down. According to your training speed, it won't be long before you have the opportunity to achieve the Golden Core."

Li Qingcheng smiled and asked Zhang Qian and Li Qingque to sit down. Xu Jingyang on the side moved his lips and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, footsteps were heard outside the sect's hall again.

After a while, Ye Lingxiao walked in with a cold face. Zhang Qian was shocked to see Ye Lingxiao. Ye Lingxiao's appearance had changed greatly. He was no longer a young man in his twenties, but looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties!
"Is it a curse? Although the curse was counteracted by the power of luck, his appearance has changed so much!"

Zhang Qian's surprised look was seen by Ye Lingxiao. As soon as Ye Lingxiao entered the sect's main hall, he looked straight at Zhang Qian. Sensing Zhang Qianxin's cultivation level at the middle stage of Zhen Yuan, Ye Lingxiao sneered and turned to Li Qingcheng and saluted. Although Ye Lingxiao had his back to him at the moment, Zhang Qian could clearly sense a clear murderous aura coming towards him. Needless to say, the source of the murderous aura was Ye Lingxiao.

"interesting!"

Zhang Qian sneered in his heart, and with an idea in his mind, he directly activated a trace of the sword intent of Zhuxian. As soon as this sword intent, the source of the killing dao, came out, it instantly swallowed up all the murderous aura that enveloped Ye Lingxiao!

This was Zhang Qian's new discovery after the Zhuxian Sword Intent and the Luxian Sword Intent manifested sword shadows. He found that after the two sword intents skyrocketed, they could wantonly devour all kinds of murderous aura. Now that Ye Lingxiao wanted to use murderous aura to influence himself, it was simply overestimating his own abilities.

"Ye Lingxiao, last time in Mangcang Mountain, I used 20% of my sect's luck to save your life, and even spent precious elixirs to save your life. It can be said that I have done my utmost. But you took away 20% of my Mangcang Mountain's luck and walked away. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xu Jingyang looked at Ye Lingxiao coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent. After being fooled by Ye Lingxiao last time, Xu Jingyang no longer had any appreciation for Ye Lingxiao in his heart. If Ye Lingxiao was not still a disciple valued by Li Qincheng, he would have killed him long ago.

"Ling Xiao, what's going on? You disappeared inexplicably some time ago and missed the events of the Great Star Sea. I couldn't contact you either. And what's the entanglement between you and Ling Su?"

Li Qingcheng frowned and looked at Ye Lingxiao. Zhang Qian had sharp eyes and could clearly see that there was a hint of disgust in Li Qingcheng's eyes, but on the surface, she still looked friendly.

"Greetings to the Supreme Master!"

At this moment, Meng Lingsu, dressed in plain white clothes, walked in gently. She no longer looked skinny and bony as before. Now she looked like a weak and helpless fairy, floating in gently, making everyone's eyes bright.

Li Qingque took a glance and saw Zhang Qian's surprised look. He snorted in his heart, quietly reached out and twisted Zhang Qian's lower back hard, causing Zhang Qian to shiver in pain.

Although Li Qingque was dissatisfied, Zhang Qian was indeed amazed by the current Meng Lingsu. After Meng Lingsu's Hundred Evils and Thousand Tribulations Body was completed, she no longer had her previous defects and fragility. Now she was like a fairy from the Yao Chi who had fallen into the mortal world. Coupled with the faint sadness between Meng Lingsu's brows, people wanted to hold her in their arms and comfort her.

"Lingsu, you came at the right time. What happened between you and Ling Xiao? Why did Ling Xiao receive your curse?"

Li Qingcheng also didn't understand what the entanglement between the two was. It was not an exaggeration to say that Ye Lingxiao and Meng Lingsu depended on each other before.

Even a powerful person like Li Qingcheng could not see that Meng Lingsu was infected with the Heavenly Demon Soul-Transforming Talisman. This was a great magical power of the Heavenly Demon clan, and it was extremely vicious. Once the soul was infected by this magical power, there was no chance of escape. The whole person would be completely changed, and even the immortals could not remove it.

Meng Lingsu glanced at Zhang Qian secretly and said softly, "Master, this is a misunderstanding. I just broke through and couldn't fully control the power of the curse. I cursed him unintentionally, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble now. Please punish me, Master!"

"snort……!"

Hearing this, Ye Lingxiao snorted faintly but did not refute. He couldn't refute. After all, he had asked Meng Lingsu to curse Zhang Qian before, which led to him being cursed by accident. Zhang Qian was the deputy island master of the Demon Refining Island. If this matter was exposed, he would not have a good ending.

Especially now that Xu Jingyang is here, even if Li Qingcheng favors him, it is impossible for her to treat him lightly in front of outsiders.
