"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."
Seeing that his direct disciple returned safely, a long-lost smile appeared on Old Man Tianji's face, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He already knew about what his direct disciples were doing in the Dragon Clan.
What his direct disciple did was certainly a relief, but he also knew how dangerous it was...
You know, that is the 'Dragon Clan', one of the two most powerful ethnic groups in the Daowu Holy Land!
Therefore, now that he saw his disciple came back safely, he was secretly relieved and very happy at the same time.
"Yiyi, he..."
Just when Old Man Tianji was about to introduce to his direct disciples ‘Duan Lingtian’, the successor of Jue Yanyu’s lineage and the leader of Qijue Sect, he was interrupted again before he could finish his words:
"Duan Lingtian!"
Mu Yiyi, the direct disciple of Old Man Tianji and the contemporary descendant of the ‘Tianji Lineage’ of the Qijue Sect’s second master, now stared at Duan Lingtian and called Duan Lingtian by his name, obviously recognizing Duan Lingtian.
"What's going on..."
However, Duan Lingtian did not respond to Mu Yiyi's greeting because his mind was not here at all.
When Mu Yiyi first appeared, he noticed a familiar aura on Mu Yiyi's body.
Although the aura was very light, he still clearly noticed it...
However, he couldn't remember where he had come into contact with this aura.
"Also... in addition to her own breath, this descendant of Tianji seems to have eight other mixed breaths. Adding in the breath that I seem to have come into contact with somewhere, there are a total of nine mixed breaths on her body.
breath."
As a half-step immortal, Duan Lingtian's 'soul' is not as good as those of loose immortals, but it is far superior to the descendants of Tianji in front of him, so he extends his spiritual consciousness and can easily sense the ten auras of the descendants of Tianji.
.
Among these ten breaths, the other nine mixed breaths are like the stars surrounding the moon, entwined with the most powerful breath, which is also the breath of the descendant of Tianji himself.
"This condition in her body should be related to the skills she practices..."
Duan Lingtian secretly guessed.
"Brother Lingtian, Senior Sister Yiyi is greeting you."
At this time, Han Xuenai came to Duan Lingtian's side and pulled Duan Lingtian's sleeve to remind Duan Lingtian.
And when she looked at the descendant of Tianji, ‘Mu Yiyi’, her autumn eyes revealed a bit of admiration, as if she regarded Mu Yiyi as an ‘idol’.
After Han Xuenai's reminder, Duan Lingtian came back to his senses for a moment, looked at Mu Yiyi, and said: "Sorry, Junior Sister Yiyi... I just felt that there was an aura on your body, and I felt a little familiar..."
Before Mu Yiyi came back, Duan Lingtian had heard Old Man Tianji mention her more than once. He knew that she was a rare 'fate-defying Taoist cultivator' in Tianji's lineage for tens of thousands of years. She was so powerful that among the contemporary successors of the Qijue Sect, she was the only one.
Under him!
In addition, he also heard about Mu Yiyi's recent curse to kill the leader of the Dragon Clan, and he felt relieved. Therefore, he had a good impression of Mu Yiyi before he met Mu Yiyi.
"Then you still remember...where did you come into contact with that aura?"
Mu Yiyi was not unhappy because of Duan Lingtian's rudeness. Instead, she asked like this, which made Duan Lingtian confused for a while:
Where have you come into contact with that scent?
hiss!
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and began to recall it carefully. After recalling it for a while, he really remembered it.
Kong Ming City, Qiu Muqing!
Kongming City is a city on the edge of the Western Region. As for Qiu Muqing, she is the eldest lady of the Qiu family in Kongming City...
Back then, before he went to the "City of Sin" in the Central Region, he spent a few days in Kongming City.
During those few days, he met Qiu Muqing and helped Qiu Muqing solve some problems...
When leaving Kongming City, he also discovered that Qiu Muqing seemed to have feelings for him.
However, in his eyes, Qiu Muqing was just a 'passer-by' in his life.
Perhaps, we will never have the chance to see him again.
But he didn't expect that today, Mu Yiyi, the descendant of Tianji, would detect Qiu Muqing's aura again, and it would remind him of what happened in Kongming City...
"I came into contact with that aura on a woman... Her name is Qiu Muqing, and she is from a city called Kongming City on the edge of the Western Region."
Facing Mu Yiyi's serious gaze, Duan Lingtian responded.
And the moment Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he discovered again:
Mu Yiyi's eyes actually flashed with a hint of relief, which made him even more puzzled...
Why did Mu Yiyi's eyes suddenly change like this?
"If she knows that you haven't forgotten her to this day, she will definitely be very happy..."
When Mu Yiyi spoke again, she sighed quietly, and immediately the cold aura emanating from her invisible body also subsided a lot.
"What do you mean...?"
Hearing Mu Yiyi's words, Duan Lingtian sensed that something was wrong, and asked with a solemn expression: "She...what's wrong with her?!"
Although, Qiu Muqing is just a 'passer-by' in his life.
However, during those few days of getting along, he regarded Qiu Muqing as his friend to a certain extent.
Because of this, when he heard Mu Yiyi sigh when mentioning Qiu Muqing, his heart couldn't help but feel anxious, and he vaguely realized that something might have happened to Qiu Muqing...
"She and the people around her were persecuted on the way to the Zoroastrian Cult by a thug who took advantage of his lust..."
"Especially for her, when Xiangxiaoyu died... so much so that after her death, the remaining souls scattered around were completely infected by the evil spirit. They reunited and stayed for three days and three nights!"
Mu Yiyi said slowly.
And Duan Lingtian's pupils shrank hard almost as soon as Mu Yiyi finished speaking.
"Who did it? Do you know?"
When Duan Lingtian spoke again, his voice became extremely low and hoarse.
"A young man..."
Mu Yiyi sighed.
Hearing Mu Yiyi's response, Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with a cold and murderous intent, and bursts of cold aura spread out from his body. Compared to the cold aura that was invisibly emitted from Mu Yiyi's body, it was even worse.
!
"That person...is better than you?"
Suddenly, the cold aura emanating from Duan Lingtian's body became less intense. At the same time, he looked directly at Mu Yiyi and asked.
Because Mu Yiyi spoke so immersively, Duan Lingtian naturally thought that Mu Yiyi was also present at the time, and might even have watched Qiu Muqing being killed...
The reason why Mu Yiyi did not help Qiu Muqing was probably because that person was stronger than Mu Yiyi.
Otherwise, Mu Yiyi has no reason not to take action.
In his opinion, since Mu Yiyi is the successor chosen by the old man Tianji, she will definitely not be the kind of person who refuses to save anyone!
"I also learned all this after absorbing Qiu Muqing's dying remnant soul that stayed for three days and three nights, and seeing some of her incomplete memories..."
Mu Yiyi sighed.
"Absorb the remaining soul?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
"That is the necessary process for our descendants of the 'Tianji Lineage' to achieve fate-defying Taoism..."
At this time, Old Man Tianji spoke up and explained to Duan Lingtian: "If you want to achieve the 'Fate-Defying Taoist Cultivation', in addition to the requirements for the talent of the successor of Tianji, after meeting the requirements, you also need to find and absorb the nine violent remnants of the soul.
…”
"Only in this way can we practice the 'Fate-Defying Curse and Killing Technique' and truly achieve the 'Fate-Defying Dao Cultivation'!"
After the old man Tianji finished explaining in one breath, he added, "Of course, the owners of those violent remnant souls cannot be persecuted by the descendants of Tianji themselves during their lifetime... Because if their owners are persecuted by the descendants of Tianji, they will
The subconscious mind resists the descendants of heaven’s secrets from absorbing them.”
"I see."
After listening to Old Man Tianji's explanation, Duan Lingtian suddenly understood.
Previously, when he first learned about the existence of the 'Fate-Defying Taoist Cultivator', he was also surprised by the 'Fate-Defying Curse Killing Technique' mastered by the Fate-Defying Taoist Cultivator. It was simply a killing method that could be called heaven-defying, and it made people feel uncomfortable just hearing about it.
A moment of horror!
At that time, he also thought, how could such 'unnatural' means exist in this world?
But I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to achieve the fate-defying Taoist cultivation...
In addition to meeting the talent requirements, you also need to find the nine violent remnant souls and absorb them.
"Do you remember what that guy looks like?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Mu Yiyi again, and when he asked, his eyes were burning with angry flames, like a prairie fire!
call!
Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Mu Yiyi raised her hand and took out a portrait.
"This is the portrait I drew when I saw her memory... Over the years, I have been looking for this person, but I have never had a clue."
The owners of the nine violent remnant souls absorbed by Mu Yiyi were all persecuted by others, and the people who killed eight of them were all found out and killed by her.
She has never found any clues about the person who persecuted Qiu Muqing...
Duan Lingtian looked at the portrait opened in Mu Yiyi's hand:
Above the portrait, there is a young man of medium build and a strange face...
"It's him!"
Just when Duan Lingtian frowned and looked at the young man in the portrait, another exclamation suddenly came from his ears.
Suddenly, the eyes of everyone present, including him, all fell on the person who exclaimed...
This person is none other than the Four Tribulations Loose Immortal ‘Chen Yiru’ standing behind Duan Lingtian!
"San Dao... do you know him?!"
Duan Lingtian looked at Chen Yiru, his eyes shone brightly, and his tone became slightly excited.
When he heard Mu Yiyi say that he had not found any clues about the person in the painting all these years, he also felt that trying to find the person in the painting was tantamount to 'looking for a needle in a haystack'...
Unexpectedly, Chen Yiru seemed to recognize the person in the painting!
