Chapter 814 The Qingqiu Fox Clan, Powerful Intimidation

Zi Chen Shenjun heard Qin Ming's question.

He immediately stopped and recalled for a moment, saying, "It seems that the people who came to negotiate peace with the human race this time are the 'Qingqiu Spirit Fox Clan' who possess the bloodline of ancient true spirits."

"Huh? The Qingqiu Fox Clan?" Qin Ming had just stepped onto the inter-domain teleportation array when he heard this news.

But before he could finish speaking.

The cultivators responsible for guarding the teleportation array, under the instruction of Divine Lord Zichen, had already filled the array with top-grade spirit stones.

All of a sudden.

Inside the teleportation hall, layers of complex and profound array patterns flickered, surging with violent spatial fluctuations.

Immediately afterwards, three golden beams of light descended from the sky and landed on the three of them.

As the array pattern faded, the group completely disappeared from the main hall.

Qin Ming felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him. This process was quite lengthy, unlike that of a regular teleportation array.

Without a powerful cultivation level of at least the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, one simply cannot withstand the power of inter-domain teleportation.

In places like the present, where the two spiritual realms are extremely far apart, one needs a cultivation level of at least the Void Refinement stage to teleport.

Otherwise, their physical bodies would disintegrate en route before they even got there.

After about two incense sticks' worth of teleportation time, Qin Ming and his two companions finally arrived in a brand new region.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the teleportation hall of a large immortal city.

The layout and scale of this immortal city are in no way inferior to Tianxing City, and may even be slightly larger.

The architectural style within the immortal city is also completely different.

Upon seeing the arrival of three Void Refinement stage experts with incredibly profound auras, the guards hurriedly cupped their hands in greeting:

"Welcome to the Heavenly Brahma Domain, seniors. This is the City of Bossa. If there is anything we can do for you, please feel free to ask."

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators stationed in the main hall were also extremely respectful.

Followed by.

Qin Ming then followed Master Kongzhi and the other two out of the main hall and then out of the immortal city.

Without lingering, it flew off towards the Buddhist holy site of Mount Sumeru.

After arriving here, he discovered that Tianfan Domain was indeed different from other places; almost everyone here had their own faith.

In some secular areas, the incense at major temples is very prosperous, and there is almost never a break in the worship.

After several days of flying, a massive mountain range appeared before them.

At the summit, a series of magnificent golden buildings and temples stand, forming a vast expanse, resplendent in gold, solemn and sacred.

This place is the location of 'Mount Sumeru', the Fanjing Mountain Range.

Master Kongzhi led Qin Ming and the other person to one of the mountain peaks, where they stayed temporarily and awaited the start of the grand event.

……

at the same time.

the other side.

Shortly after Qin Ming left, the restrictions on one of the cave dwellings on Little Turtle Peak were lifted, and Yue Lingyan, dressed in a light gauze dress, stepped out.

After she emerged from seclusion, her cultivation had improved even further, and her overall demeanor had become more reserved.

The time she spent cultivating under Qin Ming allowed her to grow at a speed far exceeding that of cultivation in the mortal realm, and she has now reached the late stage of the fifth rank.

Yue Lingyan had been in seclusion for quite a long time this time, so she wanted to go to the main peak to see the little silver fox, but when she sent a message to Qin Ming, she received no response.

So they contacted Mo Lingwei to inquire about the reason.

"Fairy Mo, has Senior Qin gone out? Or is he in seclusion again? I sent him a message, but there has been no response."

“Fellow Daoist Lingyan, that’s really unfortunate. My master went to Tianfan Domain to attend a Dharma assembly a few days ago,” Mo Lingwei explained. “He originally planned to take you out for a stroll, but since you were at a crucial moment in your cultivation, he didn’t want to disturb you.”

"The master said that this trip may last for quite a while, and he should not return to Little Turtle Peak in the short term."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingyan frowned slightly, realizing that her seclusion had caused her to miss him.

However, she didn't think too much about it. For cultivators like them, several years or even decades would pass very quickly.

She was just about to catch up with Mo Lingwei when her expression suddenly changed.

Mo Lingwei seemed to sense something as well, and her smiling face froze for a moment.

Followed by.

A streak of light shot out and landed in front of the two women, revealing Baili Hui, who appeared as a dwarf.

At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn as he said to them, "Why is there a large number of demons crossing the border of our spiritual land?"

"Could it be that the demon clan delegation that Master mentioned earlier is going to pass through our Little Turtle Peak on its way to Tianxing City?"

"That's most likely the case. Fellow Daoist Baili, please activate all the protective formations around the mountain to prevent any unforeseen circumstances," Mo Lingwei said quickly.

Baili Hui nodded, then took out the array plate that Qin Ming had given him before leaving and began to cast the spell.

A rune-like restriction was cast into the void, activating the grand formation.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he filled dozens of top-grade spirit stones into the array hubs in various places.

buzz~
As countless runes swirled around, layers of light curtains lit up, enveloping Little Turtle Peak.

With the sixth-grade Taihao Nine Luminaries Immortal-Slaying Array protecting them, Mo Lingwei and the others felt somewhat reassured.

At the very moment they finished doing all this.

In the void, thousands of miles away.

Countless spirit beasts and chariots, along with golden imperial carriages, streaked through the air with dazzling and colorful streaks of light, displaying an incomparably majestic momentum as they flew towards Tianxing City.

One of the magnificent silk-draped carriages was pulled by several golden phoenixes at the sixth level of cultivation, making it look extraordinary.

The person riding inside the Golden Phoenix Carriage was a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a magnificent feathered robe, whose cultivation aura was unfathomable.

She had a pair of narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, a faint mark between her brows, and when her lips moved slightly, she exuded an aura of utter devastation.

He was now lounging lazily on the carriage bed.

She had originally focused all her attention on the plate of spiritual fruits in front of her.

But the next moment.

The woman in the phoenix crown seemed to sense something; her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a hint of surprise:
"Hmm? How could there be descendants of our own race in the Human Race's Spirit Realm?"

The words fell.

Inside the carriage, the woman's figure had already vanished.

On Little Turtle Peak.

While Yue Lingyan, Mo Lingwei, and the others were filled with surprise and doubt.

Suddenly.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) suddenly fluctuated violently, and then a terrifying spiritual pressure that surpassed the Void Refinement stage descended from the void.

"Hmm? It even has a high-level protective formation."

"How dare you think a mere sixth-order grand formation can stop me?"

As the cold words fell, streaks of azure light suddenly appeared in mid-air, instantly coalescing into a haughty-looking woman in the horrified gazes of Mo Lingwei and the others.

"A fusion-type demon cultivator." Baili Hui's face turned pale, and he immediately lost his composure.

They could never have imagined that such a terrifying demon race would appear here.

And their goal was extremely clear: they were obviously after Little Turtle Peak.

The moment Yue Lingyan looked up and saw the person in the sky, she felt a certain bloodline power within her body begin to surge uncontrollably, as if it were echoing the other person's actions, exactly the same.

In the depths of her being, she could also feel with unmistakable clarity that the gaze of that Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator, looking down upon all living beings, ignored everything else and fell directly upon her.

Followed by.

The mark between her brows lit up, transforming into a mysterious, twisted rune that flew out on its own, easily piercing through the sixth-order array outside, and heading towards Yue Lingyan.

Seeing this, Yue Lingyan had no idea what the other party was going to do. After all, this person was a powerful expert in the Integration Stage, and she was no different from an ant in front of him.

A red rune flew towards them.

She couldn't do anything to resist and could only watch helplessly as the red light entered her body.

However, there was no discomfort whatsoever; it seemed that the other party was simply using this to test something.

Followed by.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, a pure silver-white five-tailed celestial fox suddenly appeared behind Yue Lingyan, with a sixth tail quietly growing out.

However, that wasn't the key point. The instant the red runes entered her body, the number of fox tail phantoms behind her began to increase continuously.

In the end, it miraculously transformed into a full nine fox tails!
It seemed as if something latent within her had been stimulated and awakened.

"Nine-Tailed Bloodline Talent!!"

"How is this possible? How could such a high level of True Spirit bloodline be born within the Silver Moon Celestial Fox Clan?"

"They really are a branch of our royal family; their bloodline has actually shown signs of atavism."

Upon witnessing this scene, the woman in the phoenix crown in the sky showed an extremely rare expression of emotion on her usually indifferent face.

Clearly, she had only conducted a casual test, but it resulted in changes that she herself had not expected.

However, a layer of frost immediately settled on her face.

"How dare a human enslave our own son, Hou Yi! He deserves to die a thousand deaths!"

However, since Little Turtle Peak is within the human race's spiritual domain, and she was on a mission to negotiate with the human race's upper echelons, she could not act arbitrarily here.

If it were in the past, given her temper, she would have already slaughtered all the living beings in this place.

How could the majesty of the ancient spirits be violated by other races?

Seeing the situation was dire, and facing such a terrifyingly powerful fusion-level demon, Baili Hui, despite his inner fear, still forced a smile and bowed, saying:

"Senior, this is the human race's spiritual realm. Is there some misunderstanding?"

boom!
However, before he could finish speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, striking Baili Hui and sending him flying like a rag doll, crashing to the ground and spitting out blood.

"Hmph! If we weren't on human territory, do you think you could still stand here and speak to me?"

When Mo Lingwei and Yue Lingyan saw that the woman in the phoenix crown had attacked without saying a word, their expressions changed drastically.

Fortunately, Baili Hui was unharmed; the other party did not kill him, otherwise he would probably be a corpse by now.

The woman in the phoenix crown subtly unleashed her demonic power, disciplining Baili Hui before turning her gaze back to Yue Lingyan. She asked in an unquestionable tone:

"What is your name? Since you are a descendant of our race, why have you fallen into the hands of humans?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingyan's expression became complicated. From what had just happened, she could easily tell that this person must be a powerful figure with extremely high cultivation among the fox clan.

She had just felt as if her entire being, inside and out, had been seen through by the other party. After a moment's thought, she bit her lip and said:
"I have met this senior from the fox clan. My name is Yue Lingyan. I have not been enslaved by humans and have stayed here voluntarily."

The woman in the phoenix crown frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said with a hint of displeasure, "Do you know what you're saying? As a member of the demon race, how can you be so disrespectful as to associate with humans?"

"Considering your exceptional talent, I will not hold this matter against you. Come back to the demon clan with me. With your bloodline talent, you can be cultivated as a core member of the clan."

Yue Lingyan's answer, however, greatly surprised her.

"Reporting to this senior of the fox clan, I'm sorry, but I cannot agree."

The woman in the phoenix crown was furious upon hearing this. As a powerful member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, when had anyone ever dared to speak to her like that?
Furthermore, they directly refused to go against their own will.

"Hmph! It seems you've been bewitched by the human race; you can't act so recklessly now!"

After saying that, the demonic energy in the void surged and formed a large cyan hand, which grabbed directly at Yue Lingyan!

Click, click, click!
Under the grasp of this powerful being, even the sixth-order protective array surrounding Little Turtle Peak couldn't withstand it for long and shattered and disintegrated.

High above, the wind howled and runes flashed.

Mo Lingwei, Yue Lingyan, and the people on Little Turtle Peak felt this earth-shattering power and were powerless to resist it. They all showed expressions of horror.

Yue Lingyan felt as if her entire body was frozen in place by a force, and she couldn't even muster a single thought.

Just as everyone saw the invisible hand in the sky descending, about to reach Yue Lingyan.

A sudden change occurred!

Buzz!
First, a spatial rift opened in the void, and then a grain of millet appeared with a flash of spiritual light.

Then it transforms from abstract to concrete, from small to large.

A small, nine-colored lotus flower, several meters in size, instantly condensed in mid-air, radiating colorful light.

On the lotus platform, the figure of a stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire appeared. The aura emanating from her was many times more profound than that of the demon woman in the phoenix crown.
The newcomer was none other than the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers from the neighboring Flower Spirit Clan.

After she appeared, she exuded an incomparably terrifying spiritual pressure, which shattered the giant hand formed by the fox-crowned woman with overwhelming force, returning it to nothingness.
This momentum remained undiminished, continuing to sweep towards the demon clan woman in the air wearing a phoenix crown.

boom! !

Faced with such a terrifying aura, even the female demon cultivator who had merged with the demonic realm had a sudden change in expression and was directly repelled.

A surge of energy coursed through her body, barely managing to stop herself. Her eyes widened in astonishment as she looked at the Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers.

Throughout the entire ordeal, she hadn't even noticed how the other person had appeared so silently.

This shows that the other party's cultivation level far exceeds his own, hence his deep apprehension.

The people on Little Turtle Peak suddenly felt the mountain-like pressure on their bodies vanish instantly, and they were sweating profusely and panting heavily.

After doing all this, the Holy Master of Myriad Flowers remained calm.

As if it were a trivial matter, she spoke succinctly and calmly to the woman in the phoenix crown:
"You have three breaths to get out of here, or you'll leave your life behind."

The woman in the phoenix crown had a face that alternated between black and white as she stared at the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers with unpredictable emotions. As an elder of the ancient True Spirit Clan, she had never been threatened like this before.

So she gritted her teeth and said, "May I ask who you are? Do you intend to interfere in the affairs of my people, to become an enemy of my people, and to protect and defend the humans in this place?"

"Hmph! If it were one of those old fogies from your Qingqiu Fox Clan, they would have the right to speak to me like this. As for you, even if I kill you, what can you do to me?" The Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers said in a very disdainful tone.

They seemed to completely disregard the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

After all, the demon realm is far away from this place, separated by mountains and roads, and is separated by the human race, forming a natural barrier.

Even the Qingqiu Fox Clan could not possibly bypass the human race to attack their Flower Spirit Clan.

If her cultivation were to recover to its peak, she would have nothing to fear.

The demon woman in the phoenix crown had suffered a great loss and was threatened and humiliated in public. She was now completely different from her domineering demeanor just moments before.

However, she couldn't discern the exact cultivation level of the Myriad Flowers Saint Master, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

They were immediately put in an awkward position, after all, having reached their level of cultivation, they still had to save face.

at this time.

From the direction of Tianxing City in the distance, a silver streak of light flashed a few times and arrived in an instant from tens of thousands of miles away.

The light dissipated, revealing an old man in a gray Taoist robe, his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, his skin slightly dark, and his attire very simple.

The moment he appeared, a smile spread across his round face. He cupped his hands in greeting to the two women and immediately acted as a peacemaker:

"Oh! Fellow Daoists of the Demon Clan have arrived. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"

"I am Yun Xizi from Tianxing City."

"Guests are always welcome. Fellow Daoists, please don't let such a trivial matter ruin your friendship!"

"Why don't we sit down in Tianxing City and chat slowly?"

Yun Xizi said that, but he had no intention of coming out to greet the demon clan delegation at all.

He even hid in the shadows and watched the show for a long time before coming out.

He hadn't expected that the Flower Spirit Clan's Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers would be so powerful, almost actually attacking the female cultivator from the Green Fox Clan.

She doesn't just talk the talk; she can actually do it.

But what if a fusion-stage demon cultivator from the Azure Fox Clan were to die in the human realm?

Seeing this, Yun Xizi couldn't hold back any longer and quickly jumped out to stop the two.

"No need, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Seeing that Yun Xizi from Tianxing City had come out, the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers did not want to make a big fuss.

Then, she turned to Mo Lingwei and said in a low voice, "Young friend Li came to me before he left and asked me to take care of the Little Turtle Peak spiritual land. Consider this as repaying a favor to him."

"However, I have not yet repaid his favor. If you encounter similar problems that you cannot resolve in the future, you may come to my clan to find me."

Say it.

The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers didn't even glance at Yun Xizi and the other person. The petals of the Nine-Colored Lotus gradually closed up and disappeared into the world.

Yun Xizi also looked bewildered, gazing in the direction where the Holy Lord of Myriad Flowers had departed. She unconsciously stroked her chin and muttered to herself:
"Why does this Flower Spirit Clan's Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers give off the feeling that he looks down on everything?"

"I have been in seclusion for over a thousand years. Now that I have finally come out, am I so insignificant as to be unworthy of respect?"

"We're both at the Integration Stage, and I don't think I'm any worse than that old fellow, Zen Master Shenyin."

Immediately, he shook his head, waved to the people on Little Turtle Peak, and said:
"Alright, that's all for you. Go do whatever you need to do."

The woman in the phoenix crown from the Azure Fox Clan also breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back and gazed deeply at Yue Lingyan.

Knowing that the Flower Spirit Clan was right next door, she knew she couldn't take Yue Lingyan away on her own, so she said no more.

After saying goodbye to Yun Xizi, he went to Tianxing City with her.

Baili Hui also got up from the ground, took out a healing pill given by Qin Ming and swallowed it, and his complexion improved a lot instantly.

Most importantly, the demon with the phoenix crown had some reservations and did not attack him severely.

Otherwise, I really would have to lie in bed for ten or eight years.

Everyone was extremely relieved to see the crisis resolved so easily.

If their master, Qin Ming, hadn't actually befriended a powerful figure like the Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers, the outcome of today's events would have been very uncertain.

It's most likely that Yue Lingyan will be taken away by that woman from the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Baili, are you alright?" Yue Lingyan and Mo Lingwei also came to their senses and stepped forward to ask with concern.

Baili Hui waved his hand and coughed twice: "Cough cough! I'm fine and can still hold on."

Immediately afterward, he said to Yue Lingyan, "Alas! It seems that your bloodline and physique are quite special, Fellow Daoist Lingyan!"

"It has actually attracted the covetous eyes of that Nascent Soul demon cultivator. This matter must be kept secret, otherwise, if the news leaks out, who knows how much trouble it will cause."

"This is a matter of great importance; everything must wait for the master to return before a decision can be made."

Yue Lingyan lowered her head and said apologetically, "This matter was all caused by me, and I have caused trouble for you two fellow Daoists. In fact, Senior Qin already knew about my bloodline."

"It was Senior Qin who bestowed upon me the sixth-tier Blood Soul Nirvana Pill, which allowed my bloodline to revert to the true spirit bloodline of the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

"Afterwards, he consumed the even rarer Spirit-Summoning Fruit, which allowed his bloodline to continue to purify, reaching its current state."

hiss~
Upon hearing her words, Baili Hui gasped in shock.

This was the first time he had learned the inside story.

He knew about the sixth-order Blood Soul Nirvana Pill, but he didn't know about the Spirit Summoning Fruit, which could purify the true spirit bloodline.

It turns out that Qin Ming had been having him and Mo Lingwei search for rare and precious items, and they had used them all for these purposes.

Yue Lingyan didn't tell them that the Devouring Sky Rat and the Mysterious Water Crocodile, which wandered around Little Turtle Peak every day, as well as the Little Silver Fox and the Blue Ice Fairy, all had ancient true spirit bloodlines.
If this gets discovered, it'll cause an uproar.

Fortunately, Qin Ming had a Lesser Spirit Realm, which allowed him to perfectly conceal them.

After the commotion subsided, the people on Little Turtle Peak got busy again, cleaning up the areas that had been affected.

……

……

the other side.

In the distant Tianfan Domain, Qin Ming was sitting cross-legged in a meditation room, cultivating.

But he always had a feeling of unease.

He simply ended his meditation and stood up from the futon.

He slowly walked to the windowsill, his deep gaze fixed outside, and thought to himself:
"I just came out, could it be that my base has been raided?"

"That's impossible. I pride myself on being kind to others and making many good connections. I don't have any enemies."

"Even if there were any, most of them are already dead, and they've all become fertilizer for the earth spirits."

"Moreover, among the many cultivators around Tianxing City, my reputation is impeccable. As an ambassador of peace for the human race, I am highly respected by thousands, and no one would dare to cause trouble while I am away."

"Could it be related to the True Spirit Clan delegation that the Grand Commander mentioned earlier, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan?"

When Qin Ming contacted Yue Lingyan, who was still in seclusion at Little Turtle Peak, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

"Oh no, could something have happened to her?"

At this time, there was still about half a month before the start of the Little Amitabha Dharma Assembly.

Therefore, Qin Ming decided to go back and see what was going on before making any decisions.

Although traveling back and forth through the inter-domain teleportation array is an overload for the physical body and primordial spirit of ordinary cultivators, they simply cannot withstand it.

However, Qin Ming's own body cultivation was strong, so he naturally had no need to worry.

He immediately went out and went to the other two meditation rooms, where he found Master Kongzhi and Divine Lord Zichen and told them about it.

"What? Fellow Daoist Li, you want to return to Tianxing City?" Zi Chen Divine Lord was also extremely surprised upon hearing this.

After hearing about Qin Ming's concerns, he immediately thought of something and said:
“If it is only this matter, then Fellow Daoist Li does not need to make another trip. In a couple of days, another fellow Daoist will come from Tianxing City to participate in the Dharma Assembly.”

"You can ask him when the time comes. If something happens at Little Turtle Peak, you can go back and deal with it then."

"This Lesser Mi Mountain Dharma Assembly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Fellow Daoist Li, do not let anything cause you to miss it."

Upon hearing the suggestion from Zi Chen and the other person, Qin Ming pondered for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.
