Chapter 29: Her Water Spiritual Root - Pei Yanqing (Page 1/2)

Meanwhile, Pei Yanqing was already locked in combat with the giant snake.

The demonic beast in the mist had no beast markings, but from their exchange, he could sense its cultivation had reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

Just one step away from Spirit Transmutation.

If there were no realm suppression here, he could have easily killed this giant python.

But currently, his cultivation was suppressed to Golden Core Great Perfection.

Fortunately, the Secret Realm only suppressed realms; his Spirit Transmutation intent was still present.

Only by drawing the giant snake into his intent could he barely fight it.

But even so, he had sustained injuries.

Yun Luo's gaze towards him gradually filled with suspicion.

To be able to contend with a Nascent Soul demonic beast with Golden Core cultivation, even a fool would guess he was a Spirit Transmuter.

How many Spirit Transmutation disciples did the Qinglian Sword Sect have?

As she was thinking, the giant snake suddenly let out a screech.

The roar shook Yun Luo's Sea of Consciousness, causing sharp pain.

She looked up and saw the man pulling his sword from the giant snake's eye socket.

And he himself was violently flung away by the snake's tail.

Pei Yanqing clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, propping himself up with his sword as he knelt on the ground.

Beneath his palm, his ribs were shattered.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

The giant python roared towards the sky, the pain of losing an eye causing it to thrash and knock over the thick tree trunks around them.

In its struggle, its remaining eye saw Yun Luo approaching Pei Yanqing.

It roared and its massive tail swept towards Yun Luo.

Yun Luo leaped onto Pei Yanqing.

The moment the snake's tail swung, a layer of spiritual energy shield lit up on her body.

However, the bell hadn't recovered enough energy. After absorbing most of the force, the shield dissipated into spiritual energy.

The remaining force was not enough to harm them, but it still sent them flying several yards.

Yun Luo had intended to pull out a spirit artifact from her Qiankun Pouch to cushion their fall, but before she even landed, a bright blue light suddenly flashed before her eyes, and the surrounding air rippled like the surface of water.

She immediately felt a sense of dread.

Damn it, it's a teleportation array.

As expected, the next moment, a powerful force pulled them towards the distorted space.

Pei Yanqing wrapped an arm around Yun Luo's waist, while his other hand rapidly formed hand seals, trying to break free from the array's restraint.

But it was too late. They only managed to break free less than a foot before being pulled into the powerful array.

With a flash of blue light, they vanished from their spot.

The giant python irritously knocked down all the surrounding trees.

With a roar, it also jumped in.

Today, it would definitely swallow these two detestable humans.

After another tumble in the washing machine.

This time, Yun Luo fell into the water and unexpectedly swallowed a large mouthful.

Fortunately, she was a good swimmer. In a few strokes, she reached the shore and lay on the sand like a salted fish, gasping for breath.

"These days..."

She was just at Qi Refining, why was she experiencing high-level matches?

Before she could catch her breath, she suddenly remembered something and sat up with a jolt, as if a dying patient suddenly recovering.

Where was her big Li Qiang?

She stood up and looked around, finally spotting a familiar black figure not far away, half of his body still submerged in the water.

Yun Luo hurried over, grabbed the man's collar with both hands, and dragged him ashore.

Li Qiang looked thin, but he was surprisingly heavy, taking quite some effort.

After dragging him to dry land, Yun Luo sat down on the sand.

She wiped the sweat from her brow and took out a spirit fruit, swallowing it.

After eating, she turned to check on the man's condition and found that his black clothes had many new tears.

Black blood seeped from every pore.

That snake was poisonous.

Just as she was about to turn the person over, the other party suddenly coughed violently twice.

"You're awake?"

"Mm."

Pei Yanqing clutched his chest and sat up halfway.

Sensing the abnormality in his body, he quickly pressed a few acupoints on his body and immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Seeing the black blood easily forced out onto the ground, his heart skipped a beat.

He had recovered to Spirit Transmutation.

So this place is...

Yun Luo was about to ask him if he needed anything when he suddenly looked up, almost kissing her.

Chapter 29 Her Water Spiritual Root -- Pei Yanqing (Page 2/2)

"You..."

Her voice abruptly stopped, her eyes fixed on his face.

The man before her had sword-like eyebrows pressing down, a chiseled face, and a pair of narrow, clear, and cold eyes like a starry sky on a snowy night, exuding a brilliance that was close yet unreachable.

The jade crown that bound his hair was long gone, and his half-wet black hair fell loosely. A small wound on his cheek was faintly visible between his strands of hair, adding a touch of brokenness to him.

What a perfect, frost-like, snow-like, distant, and indifferent, unworldly, solitary crane on the clouds, an exiled immortal.

But... why did he look a little familiar?

A flash of inspiration struck Yun Luo, and she almost jumped up in excitement.

This was no Li Qiang at all; it was clearly her Water Spiritual Root -- Pei Yanqing!

Pei Yanqing was about to speak to her when he suddenly saw her staring at him with burning eyes.

It was a fervor devoid of any impure thoughts.

He immediately felt uneasy and hastily touched his face.

The Thousand Illusion Transformation had failed.

He instinctively turned sideways, and Yun Luo said slowly, "No need to hide it, I've already seen it."

Her tone was filled with unconcealable excitement.

Pei Yanqing let out a long sigh and, resigned, turned around.

"I apologize, I didn't intend to deceive you, Fellow Daoist. I merely feared attracting unnecessary trouble."

He stood up, clasped his hands in a fist, and bowed slightly.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Pei Yanqing, the Chief disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect."

Yun Luo was dazed by the overwhelming beauty.

Remembering someone on the cultivation forum offering a high price for his underpants, she understood.

"I understand, I understand. It's alright."

After knowing his identity, Yun Luo's gaze towards him was no longer innocent.

What should she do? She couldn't defeat him either. How could she obtain his Primal Yang?

Pei Yanqing couldn't help but notice her gaze.

However, what surprised him was that Yun Luo's scrutiny was not repulsive.

Instead, it was he himself who felt a sense of awkwardness from being watched for the first time, leaving him flustered.

Fortunately, Yun Luo had more important things to do now.

She hadn't found her Eldest Senior Sister and the others yet.

"Do you know where we are right now?"

Pei Yanqing's expression finally turned serious.

"The Red Forbidden Zone, but don't worry, your cultivation realm is not suppressed here."

Yun Luo: "..."

Good news: the Red Forbidden Zone doesn't suppress cultivation realms.

Bad news: whether it suppresses or not makes no difference to her.

Pei Yanqing waited for a long time, but she didn't speak again. He turned his head and saw her looking deeply troubled.

He instantly realized:

"I..."

He wanted to explain that he wasn't mocking her, but then he changed his mind.

"Don't worry, with me here, I will surely protect you."

Yun Luo's mouth twitched.

Is this what cultivating the Ruthless Dao is like?

Saying the most ambiguous words in the most serious tone.

If Yun Luo hadn't been in a hurry to get out, she would have loved to "handle" him right now.

"Which direction should we go?"

This was Pei Yanqing's first time in the Red Forbidden Zone, and he actually didn't know how to get out either.

The compass still couldn't be used, but he had heard that the closer one got to the inner circle of the Red Forbidden Zone, the denser the spiritual energy would be.

He sensed the density of the spiritual energy in the air and finally chose a direction.

"Let's go this way."

Yun Luo quickly followed. After walking less than a mile, a colossal figure suddenly descended before them.

It was that giant snake, which had somehow also crossed over.

"Roar..."

The giant snake's roar stopped abruptly, and its remaining giant eye was filled with terror. Its massive body seemed to have made a decision, and it turned to flee.

How did that human male reach Spirit Transmutation?

But how could it be Pei Yanqing's opponent?

Nascent Soul Great Perfection and Spirit Transmutation seemed only a step apart, but the gap between them was a chasm.

Yun Luo only saw an afterimage flash past her.

Then, a massive azure sword light appeared around the giant snake.

The sword light was like the brushstrokes of a calligrapher, the sword energy like a sweeping stroke, moving like a dragon and snake, capable of clearing away all worldly vanity. Faintly visible, azure lotuses bloomed within it.

It was the supreme sword move of the Qinglian Sword Sect—the Qinglian Sword Technique.
