After hearing Qingyi's words, Qin Hongmian felt weak and sat down on a chair.
Kill Lin Heng and break through to the Nine Heavens.
These eight characters kept echoing in her mind.
With her brows furrowed, Qin Hongmian hesitated to give an answer.
At this moment, Qingyi walked up behind her and gently placed her hand on Qin Hongmian's shoulder.
" Hongmian, I've waited all these years, just for a chance to be with you forever."
"As long as you can break through to the Cosmic Spirit Realm, you can go to the same realm as me."
"Then, we can be together forever."
These words undoubtedly touched the deepest part of Qin Hongmian's heart.
But there was one thing she didn't understand.
" Qingyi, you once told me..."
" Hongjun will not allow us to be together."
"They certainly wouldn't allow me to break through to the Cosmic Spirit Realm, so why now?"
It was because of what Qingyi had said that Qin Hongmian suppressed her thoughts.
The Qingyi then offered an explanation.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Hongmian, do you still remember Mu Chen?
His legacy was inherited by Lin Heng.
"As long as you can kill Lin Heng, seize his body, and obtain Mu Chen's inheritance."
"One day, relying on Mu Chen's legacy, surpassing our senior brother will not be difficult."
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Qingyi's eyes.
" Mu Chen was someone who challenged Master back then."
"Perhaps with his legacy, he'll be more than just the eldest disciple in the future."
Even our master, we are not necessarily afraid of him.
At this moment, the Qingyi had a slightly ferocious expression.
The murderous intent emanating from him caused the temperature in the room to drop to zero.
When Qin Hongmian saw the Qingyi, a chill ran through her.
Looking back on the years of Qingyi's indifference towards him.
Combined with what was just said.
This made Qin Hongmian wonder.
The Qingyi ordered her to kill Lin Heng and possess his body.
Ultimately, it was all so that he could surpass Hongjun.
It's still so that I can be with myself.
This was the first time Qin Hongmian had questioned Qingyi's words.
Just as she lowered her head slightly, lost in thought...
Qingyi also noticed that she was biting her lip and had a hesitant expression on her face.
With a thought, Qingyi immediately guessed what Qin Hongmian was thinking.
Qingyi immediately went and sat down opposite Qin Hongmian.
Then he reached out and grabbed her hands.
" Hongmian, all these years, my senior brother has been preventing us from being together."
"Only by killing him can we be together forever."
"Believe me, as long as you kill Lin Heng and obtain his inheritance..."
"From now on, we'll join forces again to kill our senior brother and take his place."
"Then no one can stop us from being together."
Qingyi's heartfelt words finally softened Qin Hongmian's heart.
Even someone as decisive as Qin Hongmian can lose herself in the face of love.
After Lin Heng dealt with the alien race...
He didn't rush to continue his cultivation.
For several days in a row, Lin Heng spent time with his mother Liu Ling'er.
After all, Lin Heng knew that if he went any further, Liu Ling'er and the others might not be able to keep up with him.
If one wishes to return from the upper realm, it is unknown what level of cultivation one would need to reach.
Although the Lei Clan Ancestor and Qingyi frequently traveled to and from the Nine Heavens.
But Lin Heng had inquired about this.
After the two ascended to heaven, they did not appear in the Nine Heavens for a long time.
Clearly, reaching the Cosmic Spirit Realm does not automatically allow one to traverse between the two realms; the limitations involved must be considerable.
Given this, Lin Heng naturally wanted to spend as much time as possible with his mother before leaving.
However, in the past few days, Lin Heng noticed something strange.
He was in the Ninefold Heaven, while the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Qin Hongmian were running here every day.
If something had come up, that would be one thing.
But the two of them would come over every day, and they would only talk about trivial and innocuous topics.
For several days in a row, the two of them didn't discuss a single important matter.
And so, the two of them have come to the Battle Heaven Pavilion sect in the Ninefold Heaven again today.
After chatting with Lin Heng from morning until nightfall, he took his leave.
This scene also alerted Liu Ling'er and Situ Jiannan, who were accompanying them.
" Heng'er, don't you think the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Chief Qin have been acting rather strangely these past few days?"
After the two left, Liu Ling'er spoke first.
Lin Heng nodded, pondering the matter in his mind.
Their behavior seemed more like a deliberate attempt to ingratiate themselves.
But was it necessary for these two to do this?
As for the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, perhaps it was because of the Fire Clan that he feared Lin Heng would seek revenge later.
But Lin Heng has hinted at it several times in the past two days.
His mind was never on the Nine Heavens, and as long as no one bothered him anymore, he had no intention of bothering anyone.
The point has been made so clear.
Logically speaking, if the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor truly had such concerns, then he should be at ease.
But he still came every day.
Most strangely, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor didn't even inquire about this further.
Another problem that Lin Heng couldn't understand even more.
I've always had a good relationship with the Ascenders Ones.
Qin Hongmian had no worries.
But what is her purpose in coming here every day to find him?
After much deliberation, Lin Heng still couldn't find an answer.
Seeing Lin Heng's furrowed brows and head-shaking expression, Situ Jiannan couldn't help but speak up as well.
"Master, something is definitely amiss."
"In my opinion, the strange behavior of the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Qin Hongmian..."
"They probably have something to hide."
After Situ Jiannan finished speaking, Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er both looked at him.
" Jiannan, tell me your thoughts."
Lin Heng had no idea what to do, and he wanted to hear Situ Jiannan's opinion.
In response, Situ Jiannan expressed all his thoughts.
"Master, the initial intention behind everything is nothing more than benefit and harm."
" The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Chief Qin have been looking for their master for days; we can analyze this from both an advantage and a disadvantage perspective."
"Let's start with the downside. The biggest possibility is that they're afraid their master will take action against them."
"However, behind each of these two individuals is a being who transcends the Nine Heavens."
"As long as they don't actively seek trouble with us, why would we bother to kill them?"
So that's not the truth.
"Besides, what could they possibly be after coming to the Battle Heaven Pavilion?"
"Clearly they haven't expressed it these past few days, so I suspect they're plotting something from their master."
"But strangely, none of the other sects came; only the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Chief Qin arrived..."
Situ Jiannan stopped abruptly at this point.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Heng already understood.
"You mean, they're not the ones with the real ulterior motives."
"Or rather, the two people behind them?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Jiannan nodded solemnly.
Analyzing based on the strange behavior of Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Qin Hongmian.
Only something those two people said to them could have made them do something so incomprehensible.
As for the specifics of what happened, it's impossible to guess.
