Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 247 Shangguan Qingying: Little thief, have you seen enough?

The words had been spoken, and Shangguan Qingying couldn't go back on her word.

So after a few breaths, as the bronze mask was taken off, a beautiful face with fairy-like beauty that was like a dream appeared in front of Ling Changqing.

Her beauty was not inferior to that of Qin Mengxuan, Liuying Ziying and other girls. Ling Changqing, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Although the Zhao Wanyi sisters are also rare beauties, in terms of appearance and aura, they are still inferior to Shangguan Qingying in front of them.

Of course, they are twin sisters, belonging to a brand new track, and have extra charm, so it is not easy to tell who is better.

Moreover, when they both become Yuanying Zhenjun in the future, their appearance and temperament will have the opportunity to be further optimized and improved.

"Little thief! Have you seen enough?"

Shangguan Qingying said coldly, glared at him angrily, and then put on the bronze mask again.

"On the contrary, I'm afraid I'll never get enough of it in my lifetime!"

Ling Changqing sighed slightly. The beautiful woman's coquettish and angry expression had an instantly devastating power.

"Dreaming!"

Shangguan Qingying snorted, feeling somewhat pleased with her own stunning charm.

The beautiful lady sat down at the main seat, her emotions had calmed down. She said softly:

"In the past six months, the family has raised a new batch of resources, all of which are what you specifically requested."

"Well, I also brought a batch of resources, which should be helpful to the development of the family."

Ling Changqing spoke softly, and when he raised his hand lightly, a jade slip fell lightly in front of Shangguan Qingying. Inside was a list of resources he brought with him.

She took it and examined it for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this batch of resources can be used by the family, so I will take them all."

As she spoke, she also handed over a jade slip, which also contained a list of resources. The types and quantities of resources exceeded Ling Changqing's expectations.

After all, the Zhao family is an old Yuanying force. Even if they encounter a disaster for a while, the strength of their family background is not comparable to that of the current Ling family.

Ling Changqing took a look at it and also agreed to accept it all.

The two companies continue to share what they have and what they need, which is definitely a win-win situation.

"So, are you going to continue refining the elixir or drawing the talisman?"

Shangguan Qingying asked gently, she was more concerned about this now.

It never hurts to stockpile more consumable resources such as elixirs and talismans, especially when the Zhao family's future situation is worrying and war may come at any time.

"Let's make the elixir first!"

Ling Changqing said: "By the way, why didn't I see them?"

He was naturally referring to the Zhao Wanyi sister. In the past, they were responsible for receiving him, but for some reason, they were nowhere to be seen this time.

Shangguan Qingying said, "They are both on duty in the market this month, but since you are here, I can ask them to come back early to accompany you."

Ling Changqing's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

He immediately took out a jade tortoise shell and more than ten ancient jade coins, made a simple divination, and said solemnly:

"Let's go over there quickly, shall we? I hope we can make it in time!"

Shangguan Qingying suddenly became nervous: "What happened?"

"If my deduction is correct, the Qin family wanted to send someone to assassinate them? And they managed to block the secret beforehand."

Ling Changqing explained.

In a flash, Shangguan Qingying appeared beside him, grabbed his arm with her delicate hand, and rushed outside at high speed.

In mid-air, the shadow of a fire-feathered phoenix suddenly appeared, and then transformed into a crystal clear, awe-inspiring fiery red flying sword, carrying Shangguan Qingying and Ling Changqing straight into the sky.

The family headquarters is not too far from the market area. An ordinary Jindan cultivator can reach the destination in less than half an hour by riding the light of escape.

However, Shangguan Qingying is in the late Nascent Soul stage, and has a top-grade magic flying sword at his disposal, so his speed can be described as lightning.

"...I have some experience in the field of celestial secrets and numerology. Why didn't I notice anything unusual beforehand? Could it be that you can even figure out the movements of Yuanying Zhenjun?"

On the flying sword, Shangguan Qingying asked in a low voice.

If what this guy said was true, and it was a powerful Yuanying Zhenjun-level person who interfered and blocked the secrets of heaven, then it would be impossible for a Jindan late-stage Zhenren to see through it.

"My situation is different from that of ordinary cultivators. I have a special talent in the field of celestial magic. In short... I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but you will know it in the future!"

Ling Changqing spoke vaguely.

In this situation, he can't just reveal his identity and say that I am the legendary son of luck, and no means of shielding secrets can work on me, right?
If that really happened, I'm afraid Shangguan Qingying would take direct action to keep him at all costs and never let him leave the Zhao family again.

Shangguan Qingying stared at him deeply and said, "It's okay. Come to my practice room later and we can talk slowly behind closed doors!"

Ling Changqing: “…”

Shangguan Qingying said nothing more. She put her arm around Ling Changqing's waist and urged the flying sword to accelerate suddenly. The dazzling sword light surged to more than a thousand feet long and whistled through the sky into the distance.

In just a few dozen breaths, the market town area was already in sight.

Ling Changqing had already warned the sisters through the communication jade talisman, and the two sisters should have received the message by now.

As the distance quickly shortened, Shangguan Qingying had already seen the flashing of swords and sabers in the northeast corner of the market town. Amid the deafening roar, all kinds of powerful magical powers and spells flashed frequently, mixed with angry shouts and screams.

At this time, Zhao Wanyi and her sister were being frantically besieged by more than a dozen Jindan monks. They were struggling to resist and the situation was extremely critical.

These guys were wrapped in thick grey robes, using magic weapons of the same standard, and their magical powers and spells were from the same source.

There were more than ten Jindan cultivators from the Zhao family present, but they were all entangled by killer cultivators who were twice their number, and could not get away for a while.

Meanwhile, Zhao Qinghong, another Yuanying Zhenjun of the Zhao family, was locked in a fierce fight with a thin, masked Yuanying old man with a fierce look in his eyes, and had no time to lend a helping hand.

The ground was covered in blood, and nearly a hundred cultivators’ bodies were lying in a mess. Most of them were foundation-building and fake elixir cultivators from the Zhao family.

It is obvious that the Qin family has really spent a lot of money this time, striving to kill Zhao Wanyi and her sisters in one fell swoop while weakening the Zhao family's vitality as much as possible.

"These bastards actually planned such a big operation?"

Shangguan Qingying was shocked and angry, but at the same time she was deeply frightened.

If the enemy's sneak attack really succeeds, not only will the Zhao Wanyi sisters be in danger, but even Elder Zhao Qinghong will not be spared?

By that time, the Zhao family would really be close to complete decline.

"Luckily I made it in time. Can you let me go over and provide support first?"

Ling Changqing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was only one Yuanying Zhenjun on the other side. As long as he and Shangguan Qingying joined in, they could immediately rescue him. From a distance, Shangguan Qingying waved her hand and threw Ling Changqing directly to the Zhao Wanyi sisters, while she went to help Elder Zhao Qinghong to resist the enemy.

Although Shangguan Qingying's approach was rather cruel, from the perspective of the entire family, the importance of a Yuanying Zhenjun was indeed much greater than that of Zhao Wanyi and her sisters, so she had to give priority to supporting Zhao Qinghong.

Ling Changqing didn't take it seriously. The other side consisted of only a dozen Jindan Zhenren. He could easily deal with them by himself if he used all his strength.

"Shh!"

As the pure water elemental power surged in, an invisible vortex of spiritual energy quietly emerged.

The whirlpool carried with it an incomparable tidal force, which froze the movements of more than a dozen Jindan Zhenren for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Blood Shadow Sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the air. When it reappeared, it had already slashed towards an early Jindan cultivator, breaking through several layers of protective light and easily cutting off half of his arm.

Before he could scream, Ling Changqing appeared beside this guy, changed his palm into a fist, and smashed it hard on his forehead with a trail of afterimage.

Two accomplices nearby quickly broke free from their shackles and rushed over to rescue, but unfortunately Ling Changqing acted too quickly and they were a step late.

"Crack!"

The unfortunate fellow didn't even make a sound as his head burst like a rotten watermelon. His lifeless body collapsed powerlessly to the ground, and his soul was captured and devoured by the Epoch Star Palace.

"Hey, Junior Brother Ling is here?!"

The Zhao Wanyi sisters were both surprised and delighted. They quickly fought back with all their might, forcing back the siege of several guys around them, while moving closer to Ling Changqing.

"Bastard thing!"

The two Jindan Zhenren who were unable to rescue him were furious and each used their flying swords to kill him with all their strength. Ling Changqing stomped his feet slightly and his entire figure disappeared on the spot.

Two Taoist puppets with heavy armor, huge shields and sharp axes appeared and easily blocked the attacks of the two guys.

It was natural and easy for the fourth-level Taoist puppet to suppress the two Jindan Zhenren. In the blink of an eye, it switched between offense and defense and defeated them step by step.

At this time, Ling Changqing had appeared behind a guy with the cultivation base of the peak of the Golden Core Realm. Two Taoist soldier puppets appeared, and the Blood Shadow Sword followed silently and attacked.

The guy was so frightened that he had to give up besieging Zhao Wanyi and her sister and rushed back to defend, but it was too late.

With a few loud bangs, the layers of defensive light on his body collapsed completely. The Blood Shadow Sword slashed up at a tricky angle and cut off one of his thighs, causing blood to gushed out.

The guy let out a shrill howl and was caught in a terrible state under the fierce attack of the Taoist puppets.

"Young man, don't be so arrogant!"

Seeing how brutal Ling Changqing was, the four nearby Jindan Zhenren had to change their target and surrounded him while shouting and scolding. The pressure on Zhao Wanyi and her sister was immediately reduced.

However, Ling Changqing's speed was incredibly fast. He didn't look like a cultivator in the late Jindan stage at all. He easily avoided their attacks by changing his position and beheaded the half-crippled Jindan peak cultivator with a single sword.

He turned around suddenly, and the Blood Shadow Sword split into hundreds of sharp sword auras, covering the four Jindan Zhenren who were chasing him angrily. Then, several third-grade top-grade thunder talismans were thrown out.

Amid the continuous roar, the defensive magic weapons on the four guys all collapsed, and they were cut into pieces by the two Taoist puppets like chopping melons and vegetables. Their souls were also devoured by the Epoch Star Palace in the first moment.

In a flash, six Jindan Zhenren were killed by Ling Changqing.

The remaining Jindan Zhenren were immediately stimulated, and they all used their most powerful means at the same time, abandoning Zhao Wanyi and her sister, and surrounded and killed Ling Changqing with all their strength.

Hundreds of magical powers and spells fell at the same time, mixed with the bombardment and slashing of more than a dozen magic weapons, which made Ling Changqing's protective light shake and on the verge of collapse.

The Taixuan Cangming Soft Water Art was activated again, and a huge undercurrent vortex emerged once again, temporarily imprisoning the Jindan Zhenren present.

The four heavily-armored Taoist puppets took the opportunity to attack, wielding sharp axes and chopping down these monks one by one.

Ling Changqing fought against them without fear. As the Blood Shadow Sword vibrated rapidly, hundreds of sharp and violent sword qi swept across, making them look miserable.

"Where did this kid come from? How could he be so fierce?"

Some Jindan Zhenren have already begun to think of backing out. If they had known that this operation would be so incredibly difficult, they should not have taken on this kind of business.

But now that things have come to this, it is too late to escape unscathed. With Ling Changqing's methods, he will not let them go.

As the four heavily-armored Taoist puppets continued to exert their power, and with Ling Changqing's support in secret, they no longer had any chance of escaping.

On the other side, Shangguan Qingying and Zhao Qinghong joined forces to besiege the old Yuanying Zhenjun. After a fierce attack, they soon pushed him to the point of being almost at the end of his rope.

Taking a moment to glance at Ling Changqing, the old man with a grim expression finally realized that today's assassination attempt was doomed to fail.

Those more than ten Jindan Zhenren were killed by Ling Changqing and his Taoist soldier puppets. Not a single one was left alive. Of course, the Zhao Wanyi sisters also contributed a lot.

"Master, let me lend you a helping hand!"

After the last killer was chopped down, the only one left on the scene was the masked old man in the Nascent Soul stage. Ling Changqing shook his hands and two quasi-fourth-level demon-slaying thunder talismans fell down.

Caught off guard, the old guy was hit directly, and the protective light of his body fluctuated violently.

At the same time, the invisible undercurrent vortex appeared again and entangled the masked old man in the Nascent Soul stage.

Normally, an attack of this magnitude would hardly pose a substantial threat to a Yuanying Zhenjun, but under the full suppression of Shangguan Qingying and Zhao Qinghong, this old guy who had no time to distract himself still fell into the trap.

"Shu Zi! How dare you bully me like this?!"

The old man in the Nascent Soul stage was furious, and he slashed with a sharp sword.

Ling Changqing, however, took the initiative and hid behind the heavily armored Taoist soldier puppet, unharmed.

Immediately afterwards, under his command, four heavily-armored Taoist puppets also surrounded and entangled the old guy in a melee.

After more than ten breaths, the old man in the Nascent Soul stage screamed miserably and fled hastily in the sudden explosion of a large ball of blood, leaving behind only two broken legs and a pool of blood.

After this severe injury, the old guy might never be able to recover in his lifetime.

"Elder Qing Hong, are you okay?"

Shangguan Qingying breathed a sigh of relief and asked gently.

Zhao Qinghong nodded: "Thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise today's situation would be difficult to resolve."

"Junior Brother Ling, this time it's all thanks to you!"

Sister Zhao Wanyi came over, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and spoke sincerely.

Earlier, they were patrolling the market town with their men. After receiving Ling Changqing's warning, within less than ten breaths, a group of killers suddenly attacked.

But it was precisely this warning time that allowed them to prepare and avoid being caught off guard.

Otherwise, the two of them would be in real danger today.

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "It's just my job, why should I thank you?"
