Chapter 27 A Rare Moment of Peace
"Senior sister is joking."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun's eyes widened in shock, his gaze fixed coldly on Zhao Qingxuan's. But after a moment, he smiled slightly, as if the ice had melted away.
"If I can help, I would naturally be willing. Unfortunately, my cultivation is low and my voice carries little weight. I can't say much on the peak, nor can I help you much, senior sister."
Although Zhao Qingxuan was joking, what Lu Qingyun was really concerned about was that the other party had actually set her sights on him.
Zhao Qingxuan would never say such a thing to an ordinary cultivator.
Zhao Qingxuan now lives next to the spirit field, and the Zhang family will inevitably investigate him. Once they discover that he is getting close to Zhao Qingxuan, he may be plotted against at any time.
But now it seems too late to sever ties with Zhao Qingxuan.
He couldn't afford to offend the Zhang family, and the same applied to Zhao Qingxuan.
Sometimes, people are like leaves falling from the sky; once they fall, they have no control over their own destiny.
Zhao Qingxuan took a maple leaf from the maple tree and gently waved it down to the ground.
Next second,
She looked into Lu Qingyun's calm, still eyes and smiled gently.
"Junior brother, do you think you can escape?"
"What do you mean by this, Senior Sister?"
Lu Qingyun's voice was slightly cold as he looked directly into Zhao Qingxuan's eyes.
Zhao Qingxuan pretended not to notice and turned around slowly, saying, "In the western border of Yunxia, there is a sect called Qingchi Demonic Sect. It is the largest Golden Core Demonic Sect in Jiangnan, and there are even late-stage Golden Core cultivators in the sect."
"Just half a month ago, the Qingchi Demonic Sect began its invasion of the Yunxia Sect. Although Junior Brother has not yet received news, it should be soon."
"The tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. The war between the sect and the demonic sect will inevitably be protracted, and this is only the beginning..."
Zhao Qingxuan looked into the distance with a complicated expression.
"A great calamity in Jiangnan may not be far off."
Zhao Qingxuan had no reason to lie to him.
"When the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up."
Lu Qingyun was silent for a moment, and after a long while, he said:
"Besides, I'm just a Qi Refining early-stage Spirit Farmer. Even if I knew, I couldn't change anything."
"Junior brother..."
However, Zhao Qingxuan chuckled, her smile as radiant as a flower, her beautiful eyes revealing a deep sense of regret.
"We're already deeply involved; how can we possibly escape?"
"Although the Demonic Sect will not immediately attack the sect, the major families within the sect will certainly plan ahead and continue to expand."
Zhao Qingxuan continued in a low, melancholic voice.
"Now, the Zhang family has won over the Cui family of Qiyang, and through this they have taken over the Weapon Refining Peak. Even the steward Sun from the Miscellaneous Service Peak whom you are familiar with has sided with the Zhang family. At present, apart from the Array Peak and the Sword Peak, which are extraordinary, no other peak can remain unscathed."
"Their next target is naturally Spirit Plant Peak. Why don't you guess how Deacon Sun and the Cui family will deal with you, Junior Brother?"
Zhao Qingxuan looked at Lu Qingyun with a smile in her eyes.
She came to Spirit Plant Peak this time as instructed by her family. She was in a bad mood and when she wanted to choose a spirit field, she found that the spirit field she liked had been taken.
Only then did they arrive, only to discover that it was actually their interesting junior brother, Lu Qingyun.
She was just joking around and didn't expect any particular answer from Lu Qingyun.
However, he heard the handsome young man in front of him say in a deep voice:
"Whoever blocks my path to immortality, I will make them die."
A cold glint flashed in Lu Qingyun's eyes, and his voice revealed determination.
Zhao Qingxuan was taken aback by his resolute expression.
"When my junior brother gets angry, he really does resemble a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Then, she smiled and playfully flicked Lu Qingyun's nose.
"For a moment, I almost forgot that you are still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy."
"However, you don't need to worry too much. After all, with my family and the Shen family keeping them in check, they can't spare any time to deal with you for the time being."
Lu Qingyun remained calm.
He was neither a Foundation Establishment cultivator nor a reincarnated powerhouse.
But for thousands of lifetimes, whoever dares to obstruct his immortality, he will remember it and repay them all.
...
Watching Zhao Qingxuan leave, Lu Qingyun felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Zhao Qingxuan doesn't know that I killed Young Master Cui, so it was almost inevitable that the Cui family would take action against me. The black-robed steward even broke off relations with me. The cause and effect between them and me is much greater than I imagined."
Lu Qingyun closed his eyes and pondered.
"I must continue my intensive study and not waste my time as I have been doing now."
The pleasant atmosphere at Spirit Plant Peak made him temporarily forget the threat posed by the black-robed deacon and others.
Fortunately, Zhao Qingxuan's arrival woke him up.
Lu Qingyun's eyes flickered:
"In that case, let's first cultivate to the limit of our talent, and then make further plans."
……
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! We must move all of Young Master Zhang's belongings upstairs today, without delay."
On this day, Lu Qingyun was holding his breath and concentrating on accumulating magical power when a sound suddenly came from afar.
Lu Qingyun raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes.
His spiritual field was near a cliff and was called Cloud Cliff Spiritual Field. Zhao Qingxuan's spiritual field was next to his and was called Cloud Lake Spiritual Field.
Downstream from the lake lies the Cloud Marsh Spiritual Field, the place where those noisy people now head, located below the two people's spiritual fields.
"Are people living here?"
Lu Qingyun was puzzled. Zhao Qingxuan chose such a remote place for the spirit field because she was nostalgic. Why was that person down the mountain doing the same thing?
Looking down the mountain, one could see that the old servant who was directing the group was actually at the late stage of Qi Refining, and his aura was extremely fierce.
Clearly, the person who is about to arrive is either rich or noble.
"Whose young master is this? His servants are so arrogant."
"Junior brother, you still don't know?"
Zhao Qingxuan appeared out of nowhere, dressed in a long black dress, her face expressionless, but her eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.
"This person is none other than Zhang Tianlie, the sixth young master of the Zhang family. He was specially sent by the Zhang family to sabotage our joint efforts with the Spirit Plant Peak, and at the same time, to find an opportunity to control the Spirit Plant Peak."
Lu Qingyun's eyes flashed. He didn't care who this person was. As long as they didn't disturb his cultivation, even if they overturned the Spirit Plant Peak, it wouldn't concern him.
He held the same attitude towards both the Zhang and Zhao families.
Avoid offending others, but also avoid becoming too close.
However, the richly dressed youth at the foot of the mountain seemed to see Lu Qingyun standing opposite Zhao Qingxuan on the mountain, and asked the old servant beside him:
"Who is that person, and why is he standing with Zhao Qingxuan?"
The old servant of the Zhang family scanned the man with his spiritual sense and sneered, "Young Master, this person is Zhao Qingxuan's neighbor, and he seems to know her."
"However, his cultivation level is not high, only at the third level of Qi Refining."
"Since that's the case, let him come down and submit to me, and sever ties with Zhao Qingxuan."
Zhang Tianlie's gaze was indifferent as he waved his hand: "The family wants me to sabotage the Zhao family's plans at Lingzhi Peak. Starting with this person is just right."
"This old servant understands."
The old servant of the Zhang family replied respectfully, and then, with a sudden inspiration, he quickly locked onto Lu Qingyun on the mountain and transmitted his voice:
"Young friend, my young master is Zhang Tianlie of the Zhang family of Danfeng. Please come quickly for a chat, lest you make a mistake and continue to keep that Zhao witch company."
The old servant of the Zhang family had an arrogant look in his eyes. Now that the Zhang family had two Foundation Establishment cultivators, even the Sword Peak Master had to give the Zhang family face. He believed that the young man in front of him would make the right choice.
However, the next second.
Lu Qingyun turned away with a flick of his sleeve, leaving Zhao Qingxuan's side and walking back to the small building, leaving without a trace.
