A Dream Like a Fleeting Shadow

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

It turned out that Qin Yi's disappearance was due to his sudden transformation into a snake. He used this abrupt change in form to dodge the attack, demonstrating that he had already grasped the basics of transformation techniques and their practical application.

Countless vengeful spirits, their expressions mournful, visibly swarmed towards him. Qin Yi's Gang Qi surged wildly, scattering the vengeful spirits. As he swung his staff, the spirits had already gracefully flipped backward, landing atop a Buddhist temple behind him.

Qin Yi was about to step onto it when he suddenly froze.

"Is it... you?"

The person in front of me was dressed in black and boots, with a slender figure and beautiful face, but her complexion was pale and there was Black Flame Mark between her eyebrows.

It was the woman from the Ancient Corpse cave abode.

"It's me." The woman smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the hatred he had once inflicted upon her, her laughter charming and adorable. "I thought you were waiting for me. You've taken a liking to me? Senior Sister Minghe will be heartbroken..."

Qin Yi was speechless.

He was only suspicious because he overheard the words "Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect" when the two monks were talking, a word that was somewhat sensitive to him.

Judging from the monk's tone, the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect and the Great Joy Temple probably have some tacit understanding, and are likely allies. That's why when Jing Ze caused trouble for Jing Kong and the others, they didn't do anything because of the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect.

Since the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect might be their ally, they might accept the invitation to help. Especially since he had offended this sect, and his appearance might even be circulating among them, the likelihood of them intervening was extremely high.

This sect uses unpredictable methods, and Qin Yi doesn't want them constantly lurking nearby, waiting to ambush him when he's off guard. It's better to play dumb, pretending to be evenly matched, luring them into making a move, and eliminating any future threat.

He seemed to have calculated a lot, but he never imagined that the other party was this Shadow Demon girl.

Minghe's predictions were never accurate; he said this girl would take a year and a half to recover, but it's only been two months, and she's already standing here perfectly fine! It's like the Milky Way is sensing the heavens' will; wouldn't it be better if she just came and gave him a hug...?

Although these thoughts crossed his mind, he still replied, "It's been two or three months since we last met, and you're still as beautiful as ever."

"Hehe..." the woman laughed, "Am I prettier, or is Minghe prettier?"

This woman was indeed very beautiful, her features and figure no less striking than Minghe's, and the mark on her forehead added a unique, eerie charm. However, she possessed a Ghost Qi aura, pale and cold, and although she smiled sweetly at you, Qin Yi could still see the ruthlessness hidden deep within her.

No matter how pretty it is, it's useless if it's not the style I like.

Of course, he wouldn't say it like that, but he would say, "Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums each have their own strengths."

The woman chuckled, "Well, I still lost. Young Master pinned Minghe down and kissed her. Logically speaking, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen one. If they truly each have their own merits, then Young Master should like her a little more..."

The Jing Kong and others in the Zen Temple below were all stunned.

They were no ordinary people who didn't know who Minghe was. They were the outer disciples of Da Huan Xi Temple, and they were most sensitive to these gossips about men and women. They had long heard from their inner disciples that if they could spend a night with Minghe, they would be willing to lose their immortality.

Of course, Great Joy Temple did not dare to offend Celestial Pivot Divine Palace easily, and no one dared to really provoke Minghe. Even if they did, they might not know Minghe's whereabouts.

Some enthusiasts have compiled a list of the most Fairy, but since everyone's aesthetic sense differs and most people have never actually seen their True Person faces, the list is often haphazardly compiled and has never been definitive. However, regardless of the version, Minghe is almost always in the top three, and in many versions, she is number one.

But what does this mean now? This man is pinning Minghe down and kissing her?

The slight fear that had been in Jing Kong and the others' eyes had almost disappeared, replaced by flames of anger and jealousy.

Qin Yi had no idea what these people were thinking and continued arguing with the woman, "Yes, yes, actually I should like you more, but I don't even know your name, so this liking is too vague and doesn't come to fruition."

"My name... I'm Meng Qingying," the woman said with a smile, but her words inadvertently turned icy. "Don't forget me in the Nine Springs Below."

Countless shadows had appeared on the courtyard wall beneath his feet. There were shadows cast by the glazed tiles on the wall in the sunlight, shadows cast by the peach trees in various parts of the temple, and shadows cast by the vines along the wall. They all rose off the ground and formed Ghost Claw that reached out to grab Qin Yi.

A silent attack launched by shadows. A name that suggests a cultured and refined young lady, yet her actions are cold and ruthless.

But just as she announced her name, Qin Yi seemed to sense it and took to the air.

The Gang Qi erupted unrestrainedly, causing the entire courtyard wall to collapse like tofu, scattering into dust in mid-air. The shadows, having nowhere to attach themselves, did not dissipate, but continued to howl through the air.

Qin Yi let the shadow trail behind him, then leaped several meters across and swung his Wolf Tooth Club fiercely at Meng Qingying.

Meng Qingying smiled slightly, and a small black shuttle appeared in her hand.

The black shuttle spins, and thousands of black threads emerge from it.

Those weren't physical threads; they were shadows, a ghost, the confinement of the Nine Netherworlds. Like a net, they bound Qin Yi within.

As the sound of Buddhist chanting arose behind him, several beams of Buddhist Light merged into one, striking Qin Yi's back with several times the power of the previous beams.

Qin Yi took a deep breath, and a soft light suddenly emanated from his body. The countless wisps of shadowy prison and the powerful Buddhist Light chasing from behind were completely blocked by this light, and could not get close to his body even an inch.

At the same time, the Wolf Tooth Club slashed through the air.

A fierce and incomparable burst of Gang Qi tore through the air and slammed towards Meng Qingying, who was several feet away.

Meng Qingying's pupils contracted slightly, and she vanished in a flash, reappearing far away under the shadow of peach blossoms.

Shadow Escape.

"True Qi Transformation gang)... I initially thought you were just touching the threshold when I saw your Gang Qi gang) energy overflowing, but I didn't expect you to have already solidified Gang Qi and become a true Yi Jin Jing Martial Cultivation." Meng Qingying's expression was very solemn.

The Martial Cultivation at the Muscle Tendon Change Stage is at the same level as her Heart of the Harp Realm. Although her minor realm is a few levels higher, Martial Cultivation are stronger in actual combat than Dao cultivators. Qin Yi also has Daoist Arts techniques to assist him, and he seems to have a very powerful Law Treasure on his body... I don't know what that soft light is, but judging from the looks of it, even a single strike from Teng Yun might not be able to break through such a defense.

This is troublesome. Just two or three months ago, an opponent who was defeated by one of my Shadow Puppet and needed to use a scheme to defeat me, how did he suddenly become so strong? With such comprehensive abilities, he would be a core member in any major sect, but he looks only seventeen years old.

Qin Yi did not answer her question. As soon as she finished speaking, he stopped in his tracks and, like a cannonball, the Wolf Tooth Club came hurtling down towards Meng Qingying's head with unparalleled ferocity.

He truly dared not underestimate his opponent.

Even as the monks behind him continued to attack, he merely used his Gang Qi energy to forcibly defend himself, preferring to suffer some injuries rather than spend time dodging, for fear that if he were to lose distance, he would be killed by this woman's bizarre shadow magic.

Meng Qingying swiftly activated her flying shuttle, her Netherworld Qi swirling upwards, barely managing to withstand Qin Yi's burst of Gang Qi. The two stepped aside, Meng Qingying said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Those monks behind you were chasing you relentlessly, and you ignored them completely. Why are you constantly bullying me?"

Qin Yi answered very seriously, "We can lose the team fight, Shadow Demon must die."
