Chapter 39 Qingming Xuanwu
hum!
As soon as Zhang Qian stepped onto the path to the sheep farm, he felt an inexplicable pressure coming. This pressure came from all directions, leaving Zhang Qian with nowhere to hide.

"How is this going?"

Feeling surprised, Zhang Qian continued to walk. At first, the pressure was not a big deal, but when Zhang Qian walked halfway up the mountain path, the pressure suddenly increased several times.

call!
Zhang Qian took a deep breath. Under this tremendous pressure, he felt the blood and energy in his body roaring and running rapidly involuntarily. Moreover, his originally extremely thin ancient dragon loach bloodline was actually refined a little bit.

Although this trace is so tiny that it is not visible, it is still a remarkable improvement.

Zhang Qian's eyes lit up, knowing that this inconspicuous mountain path must be covered with a magical formation, and this formation had the effect of refining blood.

An hour later, Zhang Qian's figure had disappeared in the sea of ​​clouds and the top of the mountain was visible.

At this time, Zhang Qian was under increasingly terrible pressure, and a thunder-like roar rang in his ears. This was the humming sound of his qi and blood circulating at a rapid speed.

"So tired!"

After walking for more than an hour while staring at the increasingly powerful pressure, Zhang Qian was already sweating profusely.

Finally, taking another step, Zhang Qian reached the top of the mountain. The overwhelming pressure coming from all directions disappeared instantly, giving Zhang Qian the illusion that he could fly with just one step.

"Not bad, you didn't disappoint me. This mountain road is the path for my Demon Refining Island to refine the body. All the demon soldiers and their families who have joined my Demon Refining Island often refine their blood on this road. It's rare that you can walk the whole way in one breath."

Li Qingque appeared in front of Zhang Qian, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Sister, please stop making sarcastic remarks and give me some water. I'm dying of thirst."

Facing the huge pressure as he walked to the top of the mountain, Zhang Qian was sweating profusely and felt like his throat was about to smoke.

"follow me!"

After giving Zhang Qian a blank look, Li Qingque turned and left.

Only then did Zhang Qian have time to look at the scenery on the top of the mountain.

The top of this fairy mountain, which is like a giant pillar reaching into the sky, is flat. There is not a single drop of soil on the entire ground, only extremely hard rock.

It would be more accurate to say that this is a flat stone platform rather than a mountain top, on which are located more than a dozen elegant courtyards.

These courtyards are surrounded by lush green bamboos, like natural fences. I don’t know what species these bamboos are, but they can actually take root on the hard stone ground.

A three-foot-wide stream originates from a huge spring in the middle of the mountain top and flows down the mountain in a winding manner.

Seeing the spring, Zhang Qian didn't care about anything else and rushed over to drink up the water.

"Eh? Why is this spring water..."

After tasting it for a while, Zhang Qian was surprised to find that this spring water was not only sweet and delicious, but also exuded a hidden moisturizing power after drinking it, slowly nourishing his boiling blood and making his blood become smooth.

"Have you had enough to drink? Come here, I have something to tell you."

Li Qingque took Zhang Qian to the largest courtyard, which was a garden-style courtyard with winding paths and numerous rockery. There was also a small lake in the center of the courtyard. There was a small pavilion on the lake, and the pavilion was surrounded by lotus leaves.

After Zhang Qian sat down, Li Qingque said, "You will live in the courtyard next to you from now on. Your two subordinates have been settled there by Yu Xuanji. You will go to Shangyuan Bajing Palace in three days. I don't know where you get your confidence from, but since you promised the master, you must be prepared. This is a road of life and death, or even a death sentence. I don't have any confidence in you." "Hehe, senior sister, are you angry? Don't worry, I'm not a fool. If I am not sure, do you think I will agree so easily?"

Li Qingque's eyes flashed: "Do you have any hidden cards that I don't know about?"

"Haha, this... let's not talk about this. Anyway, just wait and see for three days."

"Humph, I don't know where you get your confidence from. You were too presumptuous in the sect's main hall before. Now you have not only offended Xiao Daoyi, but even the elders don't like you. Even if you are lucky enough to get through Shangyuan Bajing Palace, those people will not let you go."

Li Qingque showed a worried look, frowned, and took out a jade slip.

"This is the introductory sword technique of our Demon Refining Island, the Zhan Zi Jue, and the specific information of our Demon Refining Island. Take it and have a look. If you can learn the Zhan Zi Jue within three days, it will be a better guarantee."

"Zhan Zi Jue?"

After taking the jade slip, Zhang Qian scanned it and was slightly surprised. The sword technique in the jade slip was extremely simple, even incredibly simple. There was only one word: "Kill!"

There is only one move in the whole sword technique, which is to cut. However, looking at the statement behind the sword technique, if one practices this "cut" technique to a high level, one can comprehend the profound sword intent of cutting everything.

"The sword intent in this sword technique is somewhat similar to my Zhu Xian sword intent. One is about beheading and the other is about killing. Sure enough, when the sword art reaches a high level, the result is the same, right?"

After putting away the jade slip, Zhang Qian was not in a hurry to look at it carefully. He was about to say something when Yu Xuanji suddenly came on the waves.

"Island Master, Lord Xiao is here to pay his respects. Would you like to see him?"

Li Qingque frowned: "Xiao Daoyi? What is he doing here?"

"Uncle Master, please forgive me for coming here uninvited."

Before Li Qingque could respond, Xiao Daoyi had already leisurely walked up to the pavilion.

Seeing Zhang Qian standing aside, Xiao Daoyi revealed an inexplicable smile, then turned his gaze and said with a smile: "Uncle Master, I was a little reckless in the sect hall before, please don't be offended. Just now, the Supreme Master kept me and punished me, removing my position as the outer sect deacon elder. Now, Uncle Master Li should be relieved."

Hearing this, Zhang Qian's heart moved. After taking a closer look, he found that after losing the position of outer sect deacon elder, Xiao Daoyi did not show any regret, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"However, I did that for the sake of our Jianhu Palace's reputation. Speaking of which, when the Demon Refining Island fought against the Huangquan Demon Sect, it suffered heavy losses and made tremendous military achievements. Unfortunately, after so many years, the sect has not given any rewards, and many people are secretly plotting against the Demon Refining Island. It's really too much, and I can't stand it. Now that the enemy is at hand, the Demon Refining Island must be on guard. A few days ago, I went to the Great Star Sea to visit a friend and was lucky enough to collect a group of Qingming Xuanwu. The Qingming Xuanwu clan has a trace of Xuanwu blood and is quite capable. Now that the Demon Refining Island is weak, it is better to hand them over to my uncle to lead them, and also increase their foundation."

As he spoke, Xiao Dao took out a small white bowl. Waves of sound came from the small bowl, and no one knew what was inside the bowl.

"Qingming Xuanwu? I have heard of them. Aren't they a branch of the Great Star Sea Sky Demon Sect? Why are they following you?"

Li Qingque was somewhat tempted. The entire Demon Refining Island was really weak now. There were many demon soldiers belonging to the Demon Refining Island before, but as Li Qingque was in seclusion, these demon soldiers were gradually lured by the forces of the other three islands and had long betrayed the Demon Refining Island. Until now, only the mermaids were still loyal and still stayed on the Demon Refining Island.

"No need for that. Since the Qingming Xuanwu clan has followed you, we on the Demon Refining Island will not interfere. Now that I have already cultivated the Dharma image and come out of seclusion, I will personally subdue some demon soldier clans in the future to enrich the Demon Refining Island."

After thinking about it carefully, Li Qingque finally shook his head and rejected Xiao Daoyi.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Zhang Qian's eyes turned and he spoke out to stop Li Qingque.
