After half a stick of incense.
As the night grew darker, Hu Qi stood quietly beside the river.
He watched as Jin Ling'er's figure gradually disappeared into the night, turned into a flash of Flowing Light, and galloped away in the direction of the Wang Family.
"Brother, do you really want my little sister to be with that person?"
Right now.
Hong Yuan on the side finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked.
"What if?"
Hu Qi said in a calm tone.
"Are you going to kill that person and make your little sister hate you for the rest of her life? We should respect her choice."
"But, that person is just an ordinary person. Being with him will do no harm to my little sister. She was simply deceived by that person's sweet words..."
Hong Yuan looked complicated and hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry."
Hu Qi glanced at Hong Yuan and waved his hand.
"She is my sister after all. I can't possibly harm her, but the time has not come yet."
Jin Ling'er likes Wang Zhanyuan. This is fate and cannot be changed.
Unless the two of them are completely eliminated, the more they block it, the stronger Jin Ling'er's feelings for Wang Zhanyuan will be.
This is the scary thing about fate, it controls everything invisibly and is difficult to disobey.
Even your own preferences and choices are beyond your control.
What's even more frightening is that the person involved thought it was all in his mind.
However, Hu Qi does not intend to say more to Hong Yuan about these principles.
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Hong Yuan with a calm tone.
"Okay, now take me to meet that Swallowing River Demon Lord."
Hong Yuan heard this, his heart moved, he retracted his thoughts and asked tentatively.
"Brother, are you going to...?"
"Nothing, just going to visit."
Hu Qi said.
There was no wave in his expression.
Hong Yuan didn't ask any more questions.
The two people's figures flashed and turned into two Flowing Light, which went straight into the depths of Taize Lake.
Taize Lake has vast waters and criss-crossed water veins. The distance from their location to Swallowing River Demon Lord's residence is at least several hundred miles away.
But for Hu Qi and Hong Yuan's speed, it only took a moment.
It didn't take long for the Tunjiang Palace to appear in Hu Qi's field of vision.
In the dark and lightless hinterland of the deep lake, Tunjiang Palace is like a dormant giant beast.
Standing quietly at the bottom of the dark lake, the lake water flows slowly around, pulled by invisible forces, forming soft water patterns that flow around the palace.
The top of the palace is high, and a huge white pearl is embedded in the spire, emitting soft and bright light.
Like a bright moon underwater, it illuminates the surrounding waters.
And there are strange aquatic creatures swimming around, with schools of fish passing by, and their scales flashing silver, like flowing stars.
In front of the main entrance, two huge stone statues stand, carved with two ferocious stone dragons.
"You wait here first."
Hu Qi gave a casual instruction.
Before he finished speaking, his figure took a step forward and disappeared from Hong Yuan's sight in an instant.
Hong Yuan saw a look of solemnity on his face.
Hu Qi He actually had a vague guess about the purpose of this trip.
After all, this kind of behavior seems completely incompatible with visiting.
Whose guest doesn't go through the front door when visiting?
Although I know that Hu Qi should be very strong.
But Hong Yuan still felt uneasy.
He is no longer the ignorant and ignorant spirit he used to be.
We know that the current Swallowing River Demon Lord is a powerful being who has practiced for nearly a thousand years and has reached the level of the Nascent Transformation Realm. He is far from comparable to those Essence Condensation Realm demon kings.
Although his eldest brother was extremely talented and powerful, Hong Yuan was not sure whether he could compete with Swallowing River Demon Lord after only eighteen years of training.
Hu Qi's figure walked straight forward as if entering a deserted place.
The powerful force barrier surrounding Tunjiang Palace does not exist at all.
He penetrated it easily without causing any waves.
Tunjiang Palace occupies a vast area, but under the shroud of Hu Qi's Demonic Sense, everything in the palace is invisible.
In just a moment, he locked the location of Swallowing River Demon Lord.
In a brightly lit hall with a dome inlaid with jade.
A middle-aged man wearing a black robe with dragon patterns sat cross-legged on a jade bed.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man who had closed his eyes to practice suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils appeared in the shape of vertical pupils, and his eyes shone like molten gold.
"Who are you? What is the purpose of breaking into my Tunjiang Palace without permission?"
Swallowing River Demon Lord's voice was low and cold.
He cast his gaze to one side and saw a figure not far ahead. He didn't know when there was a figure.
Demonic Power was faintly surging around him, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
The other party can appear in front of him silently, obviously he is not a simple person.
"I thought it was just a Nascent Transformation Realm fifth-level black crocodile. How dare you call yourself Tunjiang?"
Hu Qi chuckled.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the other person's body.
"Huh? You..."
Hearing this, Swallowing River Demon Lord's pupils suddenly shrank, and this person actually saw through his strength and identity at a glance.
It's obviously someone with bad intentions.
Think of this.
There was a fierce look in his eyes.
His figure suddenly swelled, and his black robe was torn.
The upper body instantly transformed into a ferocious beast, with fierce light flashing in its eyes.
The bloody mouth opened wide, as if it could swallow up the world, and bit straight towards Hu Qi in front of him.
The huge mouth carries the overwhelming power, the fishy wind blows against the face, and the water flow is torn apart instantly and turns into a whirlpool, which is heart-stopping.
However, faced with this sudden offensive.
Hu Qi looked indifferent.
Poof!
The next moment, a sound of tearing flesh and blood suddenly sounded.
The upper half of Swallowing River Demon Lord's body disappeared out of thin air, leaving only his waist and two legs shaking in place, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The fracture was jagged, as if it had been torn apart by some kind of giant mouth, and the blood was dripping and shocking.
Buzz!
At this moment, a half-remaining golden Demon Infant shot out from the fracture, trying to escape in a panic.
However, before it could fly very far, the surrounding water surface suddenly stirred, and a black shadow passed by like lightning as the water surged.
In an instant, the half of the body and the half of the golden Demon Infant disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Modification Points+467 (23%)
After practicing for thousands of years, Swallowing River Demon Lord's strength reached Nascent Transformation Realm, and Swallowing River Demon Lord, who had ruled Taize Lake for hundreds of years, fell!
Hu Qi stood there, quietly digesting the memory of Swallowing River Demon Lord.
Originally, Swallowing River Demon Lord was just an ordinary black crocodile, not even qualified to join the ranks of spirits.
However, because something opened up his spiritual intelligence, it made his cultivation soar all the way.
Within a thousand years, he actually broke through to the fifth level of infant transformation.
That thing is the thing in front of me named Dragon Blood Jade Bed by Swallowing River Demon Lord.
Thinking of this, Hu Qi looked to one side.
It was a huge jade bed, completely different from ordinary jade beds.
The jade bed is covered with blood-like veins. Strangely, these blood-colored veins seem to be alive. If you look at them for a long time, you will find that they are constantly squirming.
Hu Qi stepped forward and gently touched the jade bed with his palms.
At the same time, his Demonic Sense spread out like silk and penetrated into the jade bed.
In an instant.
A low growl sounded in his mind.
In a daze, he saw a golden dragon appearing in front of him.
It falls from the sky.
The body turned into the spiritual vein of Taize Lake.
However, a piece of blood essence in his body was integrated into a piece of jade and preserved.
That jade is the jade bed in front of you.
"That's it!"
Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly.
"This black crocodile relied on the power of constantly absorbing the essence and blood from this jade bed to transform its own physique."
Outside the Tunjiang Palace.
Hong Yuan, who was waiting, suddenly saw the palace door open.
A breath of the Essence Condensation Realm quickly approached and finally landed in front of him, transforming into an old man with a wretched face and a beard.
He recognized this person. He was trained by a loach, and his strength was considered to be at the bottom among the Essence Condensation Realm demon kings.
"Hey, come with me, Master Demon Lord invites you!"
The old man grinned, showing yellow teeth.
Hong Yuan's eyes moved slightly. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still raised his legs and followed after thinking of Hu Qi's previous voice transmission.
Soon, he was taken outside a palace, and the old man quietly retreated, leaving him alone.
Hong Yuan hesitated for a moment and walked into the hall.
The hall was empty and silent, except for a figure sitting on the first seat, none other than 'Swallowing River Demon Lord'.
However, Hong Yuan looked around, but saw no trace of Hu Qi.
He was confused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just bowed respectfully.
"Don't be nervous, it's me!"
At this time, 'Swallowing River Demon Lord' spoke, his voice low and familiar.
Hong Yuan looked up and saw that the other party's molten golden eyes had turned into Crimson-colored vertical pupils, which were Hu Qi's eyes!
Hong Yuan was shocked and understood instantly
His eldest brother actually used some method to replace Swallowing River Demon Lord!
This means that Swallowing River Demon Lord, who has practiced for thousands of years and reached the level of the Nascent Transformation Realm, was defeated by Hu Qi in such a short period of time!
Before he could think about it, Hu Qi raised his hand, and a ray of light flew out and landed in front of Hong Yuan.
"This is for you."
Hu Qi said lightly.
Hong Yuan looked around and saw that it was a ball of bright red blood the size of a fist, constantly squirming.
There are occasional flashes of golden luster among them.
Looking at this mass of blood, he felt a strong sense of desire in his body, as if this blood had some mysterious connection with him.
When he expressed this feeling, Hu Qi did not explain too much, he just said.
"This is True Dragon Essence Blood, you can refine it yourself."
True Dragon Essence Blood?
Hong Yuan was shocked.
"Thank you, brother!"
He looked solemn and bowed solemnly to Hu Qi.
After Hong Yuan left, Hu Qi looked thoughtful.
"According to fate, Hong Yuan will break through to the Nascent Transformation Realm in three years.
But this is impossible. Now that we have this True Dragon Essence Blood, it makes sense.
If it develops according to the normal trajectory, Hong Yuan should have obtained the blood essence and blood in Dragon Blood Jade Bed in some way.
Does my current behavior coincide with my destiny to some extent? "
He was sitting in the hall, his gaze was deep, as if through the void, he glimpsed the great web of destiny that encompassed the entire world.
Three days later.
A sunny afternoon with melting snow.
Wang Family In the courtyard paved with blue bricks, sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches, and golden spots dot the catalpa wood chessboard.
Wang Zhanyuan was leaning on the bamboo ottoman, tapping the sandalwood chess box with his slender fingers, and his eyes fell on Jin Ling'er opposite who was concentrating on his thoughts.
I saw that she was twisting a white piece between her green fingers, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was weighing the position of the piece.
The shadow of the sun moves quietly, and the light and shadow on the blue bricks crawl over an inch.
suddenly.
Wang Zhanyuan raised his eyebrows, and the black chess piece on his fingertips, holding a wisp of strong wind, steadily landed on the Tianyuan position.
The corners of his lips raised slightly and he let out a low laugh.
"Ling'er, I won again!"
The sound of clear jade stones echoing in the courtyard.
Jin Ling'er raised his head and his eyes met Wang Zhanyuan.
I could see the corners of his lips curved with pride like a boy, and the light and shadow cast interlaced patterns of light and dark on his black clothes.
His untied black hair slid across the chessboard as he leaned forward, and a few remaining pieces were carried along and rolled into the ceramic chess jar with a clanking sound.
Such a scene made Jin Ling'er lose his mind for a moment.
"What, there's something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Zhanyuan noticed something strange about her and waved his hand gently in front of her eyes.
"No, I'm just a little distracted."
Jin Ling'er came to his senses and shook his head, as if trying to cover up his embarrassment.
She spoke immediately.
"Congratulations to Young Master for breaking through the Inner Qi Realm in one fell swoop.
With Young Master's capital, we will definitely be able to board Dragon Tiger Ranking in the future! "
When he said this, Jin Ling'er couldn't help but have a hint of emotion in his tone.
Nowadays, she is no longer that ignorant little snake, and she also understands warriors among mortals.
Under normal circumstances, warriors who can break through the Inner Qi Realm before the age of thirty are considered true geniuses.
And Wang Zhanyuan is only eighteen years old now and has already entered this realm.
With such qualifications, among ordinary people, he could be called a monster.
"Dragon Tiger Ranking, with my ability, it's just a matter of time."
Wang Zhanyuan smiled lightly, then shook his head slightly.
"However, that's not my ambition."
"Young Master is determined to become an immortal?"
Jin Ling'er asked tentatively.
"Exactly, a mortal's lifespan can only last a hundred years. Even if he cultivates to the peak of his internal energy, occupies the top spot of Dragon Tiger Ranking, and has ten thousand enemies, he will still be a cup of loess after a hundred years.
Only by practicing Qi and cultivating immortality can we break the shackles of life span, gain immortality, and live freely between heaven and earth. "
Wang Zhanyuan's eyes are distant, and there is a trace of yearning in his expression.
There are often monks stationed in Taihu Prefecture, and it is inevitable that they will be involved with local forces.
As the eldest son of one of the three major Taihu Prefecture families, Wang Zhanyuan is naturally aware of the monk's existence.
For becoming a monk, practicing Qi to become an immortal.
No one wants to.
He once had the idea of becoming a disciple and becoming an immortal.
It's a pity that the immortal chief only said that the time has not come yet.
Still have to wait.
This wait lasted for several years.
I don't know when the time will come.
At this moment, a young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly ran into the hospital.
"Young Master, there is a visitor coming to my house. Please come over."
Wang Zhanyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you know who is coming?"
The boy in green clothes thought for a moment and said hesitantly.
"It seems to be a middle-aged Daoist priest with a long sword on his back. The master respects him quite a lot."
"Oh?"
Wang Zhanyuan's eyes flashed with a strange color, as if he thought of something.
A flash of excitement flashed across his face.
He stood up, straightened his robes, and said to Jin Ling'er beside him.
"Ling'er I'll be right back!"
After getting the consent of Jin Ling'er.
Wang Zhanyuan followed the boy out of the courtyard.
Jin Ling'er, who was standing in the courtyard, looked at Wang Zhanyuan's leaving figure, and his heart moved slightly.
"It seems that what the elder brother said is true. Someone from the Immortal Sect really came to look for Young Master."
Recalling what Hu Qi said yesterday, a strange color flashed across her eyes.
Wang Family, in the main hall.
A fat man wearing a military uniform sat on one side.
This person is none other than the head of the Wang Family—Wang Zhiwen.
Opposite him sat a burly man wearing a white robe and carrying a sword on his back.
His temperament is extraordinary, obviously extraordinary.
Facing this man, Wang Zhiwen looked reserved and even had a hint of humility in his tone.
he asked cautiously.
"I wonder why the Immortal came here on this trip?"
The man in white robe, also known as Song Lingzi, smiled lightly when he heard this, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then slowly spoke.
"Pindao came here this time because the opportunity has arrived for Young Master, so he came here to introduce him to the Tao."
"Oh?"
Wang Zhiwen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
To gain immortal Jieyin's enlightenment is an opportunity that many mortals dream of!
He was overjoyed and was about to continue asking when he heard two footsteps approaching from far away.
The atmosphere in the hall condensed slightly. Wang Zhiwen and Song Lingzi turned their heads at the same time and looked at the door.
