Return to the Soul World

Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King stared intently at the Bodhi Seed in Xiao Yan's hand, their eyes gleaming with golden light.

Li Changqing said, "I've already taken your Bodhi Seed, so don't covet others'."

Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King then turned their attention back to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Xiao Yan also said, "Cai Lin, don't get agitated. Brother Qing means no harm and won't steal the Bodhi Seed. These Bodhi Seed were all given to me by Brother Qing."

Everyone was relieved.

Xiao Yan looked at Li Changqing: "Brother Qing, what brings you here?"

Li Changqing raised his eyes and gave the Amethyst Winged Lion King a look.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King understood, took a few steps forward, its massive lion head almost touching Xiao Yan's face, and asked:

"Boy, my son has been with you for so long, has anything happened to him? What level has his cultivation reached?"

Xiao Yan smiled, "So that's what it is. Lion King, rest assured, your son's strength has now reached the Five-Star Dou Zong. He is currently staying in the Starfall Pavilion, and no one dares to bully him."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded in satisfaction, then continued to scrutinize Xiao Yan:

"The moment I saw you, I knew you were destined for greatness. I never imagined that in just a few short years your cultivation would reach such a high level."

"The Lion King's praise is undeserved; it was merely a fluke."

Li Changqing waved his hand. "Alright, now that we know about your son's situation, let's hurry up and leave. If we get back late, the Hun Clan will inevitably become suspicious."

Upon hearing the words "Hun Clan," Xiao Yan suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Li Changqing:

"By the way, Brother Qing, you were with the Hun Clan before, and now from what you're saying, it seems you're quite close to the Hun Clan. Do you know what kind of force the Hun Clan is?"

Li Changqing nodded. "Of course I know, but I have my own reasons for being close to the Hun Clan, so you don't need to worry about me. I know what I'm doing. Even if something really happens, I can easily get away with it."

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Xiao Yan didn't intend to press further, but instead inquired about his father's whereabouts:

"Brother Qing, since you're so close to the Hun Clan, you must know some internal information about the Hun Clan. A few years ago, my father was captured by the Hall of Souls. Did you hear any news about him while you were in the Hun Clan or the Hall of Souls?"

Li Changqing looked troubled. He had not only heard about Xiao Yan's father, but he had even seen him in person.

But if he were to help Xiao Yan bring Xiao Zhan out of the Soul World, he would definitely be discovered. In that case, how could he continue to infiltrate the Hun Clan and seize the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill to break through to the Dou Di?

Thinking of this, Li Changqing sighed softly, "I did indeed see your father in the Soul World."

Xiao Yan said excitedly, "Really? Then, Brother Qing, can you help me rescue my father? My life is yours then, I'll go through fire and water for you."

Gu Qingyang was also very shocked, but what shocked him was that Li Changqing, who was not a member of the Hun Clan, was actually able to enter the Soul World.

He immediately realized that Li Changqing's status in the Hun Clan was probably not low. It was simply unbelievable that an outsider could rise to such a high position within the Hun Clan.

Li Changqing shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm sure you know why the Hun Clan captured your father."

"The Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade of the Xiao Clan," Xiao Yan replied immediately.

"That's right, it is indeed the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade, and the Hun Clan values it highly. Therefore, your father was imprisoned with extreme security; even members of the Hun Clan cannot approach him at will, let alone me?"

Li Changqing changed his tone and continued:

"However, there's no need to worry too much. Since the Hun Clan is so eager to obtain the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade of the Xiao Clan, your father will be fine until then. In fact, we'll have to treat him to good food and drink."

Xiao Yan's expression fell, he clenched his fists tightly, and said in a low voice:

"Thank you, Brother Qing, I understand. But I still want to ask Brother Qing for a favor. If my father encounters any danger within the Hun Clan, I would be grateful if you could look after Brother Qing."

"That's no problem, don't worry."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Changqing, along with Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, flew towards the Soul World Entrance.

As soon as Li Changqing and his group left, Gu Qingyang leaned close to Xiao Yan and whispered:

"Brother Xiao Yan, your Brother Qing was able to enter the Soul World as an outsider, so his status in the Hun Clan is probably not low. What he's plotting is definitely not small. Once he makes a move, he will turn the entire Hun Clan upside down."

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan didn't dwell on the issue too much. "We don't know what Brother Qing is thinking, and we can't offer him any help. Let's just divide the Bodhi Seed first."

After several days of flying, Li Changqing returned to the Soul World.

As soon as he returned to his Residence in the Soul World, Hun Xuzi immediately summoned him.

Inside Hun Xuzi's Great Hall, Hun Xuzi sat high on the main seat, while Li Changqing stood respectfully below.

Hun Xuzi lightly tapped the Armrest with his fingertips, the sound of which was extremely noticeable in the spacious and quiet Great Hall.

Hun Xuzi said calmly, "I heard from Hun Yu that no one obtained even a single Bodhi Seed during the appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree in the world this time?"

Li Changqing respectfully replied, "That's right. After everyone entered a Special Space, they were trapped in an illusion."

"When we awoke, that space had already begun to crack. Later, after we rushed out of that Special Space, the Bodhi Ancient Tree sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace."

After confirming that Li Changqing's statement was completely consistent with that of the rest of the Hun Clan, Hun Xuzi did not dwell on the matter further.

"The matter I need you to do has been put on the agenda, and I don't have time to wait for you to slowly cultivate to the level of Dou Sheng, so I need to speed up your cultivation first."

As he spoke, Hun Xuzi produced a jet-black jade Jade Bottle in his palm, handed it to Li Changqing, and continued:

"There is a drop of Dou Sheng's Essence Blood in this Jade Bottle. After you return, go into seclusion to refine it and quickly break through your cultivation level. Then use your Bodhi Pill to break through to the Half-Saint."

"Before you break through to the Half-Saint, focus on your cultivation. After you break Half-Saint, I will personally guide you in refining Ninth Grade Precious Pill."

Li Changqing looked at the Jade Bottle before him, his expression one of extreme excitement and agitation, his breathing becoming rapid:

"This junior is very grateful for your generous gift, senior. With this treasure, I am confident that I can break through to the Half-Saint within six months."

At the same time, doubts arose in Li Changqing's mind.

Since Hun Yu had reported the situation of this trip to Hun Xuzi, he must have also reported that Li Changqing Conflict with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, that his speed was comparable to that of Half-Saint, and that he could fight against a Half-Saint puppet.

But judging from Hun Xuzi's appearance, he doesn't seem to intend to get involved in these matters.

However, thinking about it, it makes sense. Li Changqing's cultivation level was only at the Five-Turn Dou Zun, so even if he could fight against opponents of higher levels.

However, as long as his strength remains within a controllable range and does not affect the Hun Tiandi's grand plan, Hun Xuzi probably won't care about these things.
