Qingshu looked calm, but actually he was a bit flustered and angry inside.
The subordinates who came with her this time, apart from the demon cultivators she hired with her own money and those arranged by the clan to protect her, were thirteen in total, five of whom were natal monks, and the remaining eight were Yunling realm
.
Although the cultivation levels of these Yunling realm monks vary, they all have one thing in common, that is, they will definitely be able to overcome thunder tribulations with a cultivation level above the seventh level of Yunling realm in the future. If we say that these people will all be in the future,
He is a real monk in the natal realm.
This is also the reason why Qingshu is willing to bring these people to the secret realm.
After all, they are all his future helpers, so letting them experience a more intense fighting atmosphere in advance will be beneficial to them and themselves. Of course, the more important point is,
The spiritual energy within the secret realm of the Dragon Palace Ruins is far more dense than a normal place in the Mysterious Realm. If they can get enough time to practice here, they will be able to reach their natal realm faster.
After all, Yunling Realm does not require enlightenment like the fifth level of Tongqiao Realm. As long as you use enough spiritual energy, you can speed up your cultivation - they are definitely not lacking in talent - so these people are brought to the secret realm of Dragon Palace Ruins.
, the one who ultimately benefits must be herself.
At least, that's what Qingshu thought before that.
But after the news came that the demon clan was fighting against the disciples of Taiyi Valley, everything began to change.
Especially now.
What made her even more angry was that these people actually left her and fled alone.
This is a betrayal that Qingshu cannot bear!
If it were those Yunling realm monks, Qing Shu could still understand. After all, their cultivation was too low and they couldn't exert much combat power at all.
But among these people who escaped alone, there were actually two demon cultivators in the natal realm, so one can imagine Qingshu's anger.
"Just hold on, we'll be safe when Yuan Fei arrives." Qingshu spoke to reassure the remaining people around him, "I have already sent a message to Yuan Fei, he will arrive soon."
Qingshu didn't mention Xu Du and Yuli because she knew that these two people had been mobilized by Aoman to go to Xiangzhilin to cause trouble for Wang Yuanji and Song Nana - although Yuli was the third princess behind her to protect her.
Yes, but she knew very well that even if she sent a message to Yuli at this time, it was already too late.
The only hope is Yuan Fei who is wandering outside.
"I hope I can make it in time." Zai Ran sighed softly, "The people of Taiyi Valley are indeed worthy of their reputation. Each one of them has a strength that is close to crushing those in the same realm."
By the end of the sentence, Zai Ran had a helpless, bitter smile on his face.
Just over two hours ago, because they had to escape from the battlefield where Wei Ying and two other Soul Condensing Realm experts were fighting, they fled in embarrassment and had a brief but fierce confrontation with Su Anran, who was pursuing them.
Before the confrontation, although they had paid enough attention to Su Anran, Zai Ran and others believed that with the strength of four of them in the natal realm, plus the several Yunling realm monks who were passing by, they could only deal with one who was also in the natal realm.
Sword repair should not be a problem.
After all, it's not like they have never fought against sword cultivators before. With the tacit understanding between them, let alone one sword cultivator, as long as they have the upper hand in terms of numbers, they can easily defeat each other.
Then kill the opponent by defeating them one by one.
This is not the first time they have used this tactic.
So even when facing Su Anran, they had absolutely strong self-confidence - they would have fled before, but the pressure brought by the Soul Condensing Realm powerhouse and Wei Ying was too strong, which forced them to stay away from the battlefield. But now they have to stay away from the battlefield.
Zhisu Anran actually chose to chase them instead of assisting his senior sister. This made Zai Ran and other natal demon cultivators feel angry. Why would a mere natal realm sword cultivator dare to chase them?
There are four natal monks here!
So it was no surprise that a battle broke out between the two sides immediately.
But the result was completely beyond their expectations.
Only one encounter.
Su Anran severely injured a natal monk and killed three Yunling monks who raided the formation.
The shock brought by this powerful strength made the remaining people timid in the next battle, and they did not dare to fight to the death, for fear that they would be killed by Su Anran with a sword. So this time
The battle only lasted for a short period of time, and turned from fierce to quite conservative. So when Su Anran killed a Yunling realm monk again and injured another natal realm monk, the battle collapsed instantly.
.
Those who escaped were the demon cultivator in the natal realm who was seriously injured by Su Anran's face and the other demon cultivator who was injured.
At this time, the only ones still following Qingshu were Zai Ran, Hei Quan, and another monk in the Yunling Realm.
Qing Shu looked at Hei Quan with a somewhat complicated expression.
Because she didn't expect that the black dog who had been humiliated by her before would actually choose to follow her at this juncture. Even before that, when she faced the death threat brought by Su Anran, even she felt
When she was about to die, it was the black dog who saved her life.
Of course, it's not without cost.
"Are you okay?" Seeing the black dog bandaging the wounds on his chest and abdomen, Qingshu pondered for a moment, and finally asked.
"It's okay." Hei Quan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Qingshu would actually open his mouth to care about him, so he seemed a little panicked, "The wound is not deep, and it did not damage the internal organs. It only needs a good rest for a period of time, and it can still heal.
It's just that... in the next battle, I may not be able to use my full strength."
"Yeah." Qingshu nodded and said nothing more.
Everyone present knew that it was obviously impossible to say that there would be no more fighting.
Unless Yuan Fei arrives in the next second.
Just, is this possible?
Looking at Hei Quan again, who had swallowed the elixir and began to meditate to absorb the effects of the medicine as quickly as possible to speed up the recovery of the injury, Qingshu's expression became even more complicated.
And it's not just her face, her heart is also very complicated.
At this moment, Zai Ran gently patted Qingshu's shoulder, signaling that he had something to say.
Qing Shu did not hesitate and followed Zai Ran to the side.
This location is not far from Hei Quan and another Yunling Realm demon cultivator, but it is enough to ensure that the other two people will not hear what they say here.
"What's up?"
"Don't you think the black dog is a bit strange?" Zai Ran said bluntly.
Qingshu raised his eyebrows and his face darkened: "What do you mean?"
"Su Anran was able to severely injure Fei Yan with just one confrontation. Fei Yan's body is made of stone, but the power of the sword can still break his shell. Do you think that with Black Dog's strength, even if he has practiced the outside world?
If you practice kung fu, you can still
Is he more powerful than Fei Yan, who has his own magical power?" Zai Ran said in a deep voice, "So that sword must have been merciful by Su Anran. He and Black Dog must have had an ulterior secret... We must beware of Black Dog.
!”
Qingshu raised his eyebrows but did not speak.
She just stared at Zai Ran. It wasn't until she saw that Zai Ran looked a little uncomfortable that she nodded and said, "I understand."
Zai Ran nodded in the same way and said nothing more.
But the look he looked at Hei Quan was particularly solemn, and there was even a bit of hatred that he himself did not conceal - this kind of look was not unfamiliar to Qingshu, because in the past, neither Jia Qing nor Hei Quan
, Luo Sheng always looked at him with this look. The only difference was that Luo Sheng died later, and after he ignored Qing Yu, Jia Qing never showed this look again.
Only black dogs.
It wasn't until he was forced into desperation by the clan association and he took him in that he finally stopped looking at him with such eyes.
Zai Ran and Qing Shu said nothing more.
Qingshu quickly returned to the team, but the difference from before was that this time she sat in front of the black dog.
Hei Quan, who was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, opened his eyes as if he felt someone in front of him.
He looked at Qingshu with some confusion: "Miss Qingshu, what's the matter?"
"You had a good relationship with Su Anran before, right?" Qingshu asked.
Hei Quan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded after being silent for a while: "Because of Qingyu..., my relationship with Su Anran is pretty good. After the incident in Tianyuan Secret Realm, Su Anran and I
In fact, we met once at Wanshilou, and that was the last time I communicated with him."
Qingshu nodded: "No wonder."
After hearing Qingshu's words, Hei Quan burst out laughing: "Did Miss Qingshu see it?"
"The sword he wanted to kill me finally gave up." Qingshu said lightly, "If not, you would be a corpse now."
The problem that Zai Ran didn't notice doesn't mean that Qingshu didn't notice it.
In fact, it was Qingshu herself who was facing Su Anran's sword at that time, so she felt it more strongly than anyone else, and she naturally saw more things than others.
What's more, she was born as the King Fox of the Qingqiu clan.
Their clan, among other things, can almost be said to be instinctive in controlling people's hearts - it can no longer be described by the word "talent".
"There will be no second time." Black Dog raised his head and looked at the sky, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face, but Qingshu could taste the bitter taste from it, "Probably because I stood up and
The way you blocked the sword for you made him think of Qingyu in a sad way, so he subconsciously withdrew some strength, so that sword did not kill me... However, even so, I am now
It’s already half useless.”
"Why did you save me?" Qingshu asked, "Didn't I always humiliate you before? Don't you have any resentment in your heart?"
"I am now Miss Qingshu's subordinate. Isn't it normal to save you?" Hei Quan looked at Qingshu with a strange expression, "I know what you think, Miss Qingshu. After all, I had different stances from you before. What do you think about Qingshu?"
I was dissatisfied, so you saved my life later, and I knew very well that you were just trying to humiliate me... But there is one thing, Miss Qingshu, you may not have thought clearly, it was you who saved my life."
Qingshu was stunned when he heard Hei Quan's words.
Obviously, she didn't expect to hear this answer from Black Dog.
Or rather, this is the answer.
At this moment, Qingshu only had one thought in his heart: Did I do something wrong before?
"Miss Qingshu."
Hearing the call of the black dog, Qingshu came back to his senses and said calmly: "Speak."
"I should be able to get another chance for you, but it's just the last chance." Black Dog said solemnly, "I know Su Anran's character very well, and he will definitely not let you go, because Qingyu's
My last words are to take your life...I followed Qingyu before, so after I helped you block that sword, Su Anran was completely angry. He will never show mercy with the next sword."
Qingshu didn't speak.
Because Black Dog's words were obviously not finished yet: "So, I can block another sword for you when the time comes. After all, you saved my life before, and now it is just returned to you, so Miss Qingshu doesn't have to
I feel owed. But I still hope that you can survive, because only in this way will my life not be wasted... Although I don't like Zai Ran, I believe that he will definitely have a way to take you away."
Qingshu said nothing.
But at this time, her heart was filled with guilt.
She felt that she owed Black Dog too much.
I finally understood why Qingyu would always keep Black Dog with her, even though Black Dog was the weakest among all her subordinates.
At the beginning, Qingshu thought that Qingyu just wanted to have a toy by his side - after all, among all Qingyu's followers, Black Dog had the worst financial background, and it could be said that it was impossible to bring anything to Qingyu.
Help. But in the end, among the three important ministers under Qingyu, there is a quota for Black Dog. This is actually very puzzling.
Until now.
Qingshu finally understood.
Naturally, he also understood why Hei Quan trusted Qingyu so much. Even after Qingyu was ignored by him and completely lost, Hei Quan never thought of abandoning him.
If he could go back in time, Qingshu believed that he would not treat Hei Quan like that.
Unfortunately, everything was too late.
"sorry."
In the end, Qingshu could only say these three words that made her feel quite weak and pale.
"It doesn't matter." Hei Quan smiled and shook his head, "As long as Miss Qingshu can survive, that's enough... It's enough for me to have one stain in my life. I don't want a second stain to appear."
"I understand." Qingshu nodded.
For the next period of time, no one spoke.
The tense atmosphere never eased.
Because the threat from Su Anran was always like a sharp knife hanging over everyone's heads, leaving them with no peace at all.
After all, they knew very well that it was only a matter of time before Su Anran caught up. If they wanted to truly escape from Su Anran's pursuit, Yuan Fei had to do it himself, and there was no other way.
Under the huge pressure of this constant sense of threat, everyone, including Qingshu, had been unable to relax and became extremely depressed. So when Su Anran finally appeared in front of everyone again, no matter Qingshu,
Shu and Zai Ran both breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.
But the next moment, they understood that this time they might not be able to escape Su Anran's pursuit so easily.
"Miss Qingshu, let's go!" Hei Quan gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly regardless of his injuries, "I'll buy you the last time."
Zai Ran also looked back at Qingshu and shouted: "What are you waiting for!"
Under the huge threat of life and death, everyone's face and temperament were completely exposed.
Qingshu felt like he was an audience outside the play, clearly watching the scenes being played in front of him.
Then, she smiled.
She raised her hand and drew a talisman.
This is her only life-saving trump card on this trip.
It's not an attack.
But to escape.
Because of the special nature of the Dragon Palace ruins, the power of the magic weapons that can attack here will be limited. Therefore, if those strong soul condensation realms who are arranged to protect Qingshu are not opponents, then even if Qingshu has more equal
Powerful attacks are of no avail, so it is better to give her the talisman to escape.
Great Escape Talisman.
Random transfer that cannot be locked.
This is the most suitable escape talisman seal for use in the Dragon Palace ruins.
When he saw Qingshu typing out this talisman, Zairan's face showed a smile.
Because he had known for a long time that Qingshu had such a talisman in his hand. She had not used it before because there were too many people around Qingshu at that time, so it was inconvenient for her to use this talisman——
This great escape talisman allows the user to escape with one person.
So at this moment, in this environment, this is the best place for this great escape talisman to work.
"Su Anran! Just wait for me! When you get out of the secret realm, I will definitely make your life worse than death!" Zai Ran looked at Su Anran with a ferocious expression and let out a roar.
A dazzling white light flashed.
Then, the smile on Zai Ran's face suddenly froze.
It's still the same familiar environment as before.
It's just that the people around him are missing Hei Quan and Qing Shu.
Zai Ran was a little unbelievable.
Qingshu actually chose to take the black dog away instead of him who has a more noble status!
How is this possible!
"Is life worse than death?" Su Anran looked at Zai Ran with a stiff face and said with a half-smile.
