Chapter 2676 He is coming
Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire… Qu Jianlei was once again at a loss for words, “Ahem, in such a serious setting, young lady, you’re in the middle of a battle!”
"So you know we're fighting?" the woman's voice said irritably. "You're all so unserious... He's here!"
"Who's here?" Han Li and her classmates were all taken aback.
But Qu Jianlei already understood, "That one... so his impending death and dissipation are also due to this kind of annihilating aura?"
"The one who arrested you?" Han Li realized. "I thought it was Lian Xing's corrupt official!"
The Great Lord of the Divine Realm who abducted Qu Zhenzun was also on the verge of death, and he really didn't expect to have a similar aura.
"Then don't leave!" Xiaoyou also realized what was happening, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
The other party should be a genuine human race Great Lord, and one that is about to perish. If he goes berserk, her master might not be able to withstand him!
However, in the struggle for the Great Dao, there is no room for retreat. What about a True Lord?
She has already joined the team that saves the world, and she's after the opportunity to seize the distraction; no one can stand in her way.
Most importantly, if the other party really wants to stop you, then the cause and effect have already been set, and it will be too late to retreat!
She couldn't sense the cause and effect because the other party's cultivation level was too high.
But if the cause and effect have already been set, let alone a Nascent Soul Grandmaster, even a Body Integration Grandmaster, she has no choice but to force her way in!
Of course, she wasn't just someone who knew how to be brave and fierce. "Miss, can you give me some pointers?"
Even if she is slightly weaker, those two are not to be underestimated, not to mention the Spider Lord and Taiyuan Sea.
Especially since Taiyuan Hai's main body isn't far away, well, the advantage is on my side!
"A wisp of a soul, and it can't be locked away," the woman's voice said calmly, "It can't be killed... Heh, that's all the courage you have!"
"Then let's seize this fragment of the soul," Qu Jianlei was also quite ambitious. "Miss, let's find the original!"
"Unless you get the person behind you out," the female driver unusually said, "I can't lock it!"
"Who's behind me?" Qu Jianlei asked in astonishment. "My strongest weapon is this Creation Compass."
"Hehe," the woman chuckled casually, "say whatever you want, you little rascal!"
"Where did I slip up?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter to himself. How could he dare to admit anything about the Dao Stele?
“If the big end isn’t slippery, the small end will be,” the woman’s voice said calmly. “If all else fails, just lubricate it first…”
“I think it’s good to be alive,” Qu Jianlei said with a bitter smile. “Sister, please stop using your supernatural powers.”
Xiao You raised an eyebrow. "In that case, I... will summon my master."
She was truly spoiled and had long been used to calling for help whenever something happened.
Of course, Master might not be available, but how can we know if Master is available without shaking the phone?
However, the next moment, she sighed in dejection, "What a pity, no response!"
"No way there will be a reaction," Han Li muttered softly. "Don't think too much about it. Let's prepare for the situation and see what's going on."
Actually, there was nothing unusual. For the next period of time, the three of them were blocking the Heavenly Demon Qi Clan!
This mass of demonic energy is enormous, containing seven or eight Nascent Soul demons, enough to quietly invade the Realm of Virtue.
However, encountering Qu Jianlei and the other two True Venerables, he could only consider himself unlucky. Any one of the three could easily defeat the other.
The three did not kill their opponent quickly because there was a hidden force lurking behind them!
After being blocked for four or five days, the size of the Heavenly Demon Qi Clan was reduced by half, and three Heavenly Demons who had left their bodies were also killed.
It truly means a complete annihilation, leaving no future troubles, and even leaving room for maneuver.
Qu Jianlei was somewhat dazed when he killed the fourth Nascent Soul Demon.
The Heavenly Demons who besieged Cangwu back then weren't much larger, were they? Yet not a single Nascent Soul True Venerable was to be seen.
Of course, the powerful being has his own considerations; he can now treat a mere middle-thousand world with indifference.
The truth is, if he hadn't worked so hard back then, he might still be just a low-level Nascent Soul cultivator.
There are no "what ifs" in this world, only results and consequences.
Sure enough, the next moment, the vague feeling of being watched completely disappeared.
“They’ve escaped,” Qu Jianlei sighed softly. “Miss, if you don’t have a single clue, I’ll look down on you.”
"What can I do about this?" the woman said calmly. "You're the one who's not giving it your all, expecting me to investigate with all my might?"
“But he embarrassed you,” Qu Jianlei said, taken aback. “I’m not encouraging you to go against him, but… could you give me some clues?”
"The time isn't right for me to deal with him," the woman's voice said leisurely. "You little rascal, think about what he's up to first."
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "He wants to deal with Jing Yuexin?"
"What's wrong with your brain..." The woman's voice was speechless. "Fine, think whatever you want, as long as you're happy."
“Just kidding, I know what he’s going to do,” Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, then asked, “Is nobody going to do anything about it?”
The young woman chuckled softly, "You're not human?"
"Why should I care about him?" Qu Jianlei was genuinely stunned, then finally came to his senses, "Alright, then I won't bother with him."
He didn't say what he was thinking, but Taiyuan Hai ignored him, and the three of them continued to fight the Heavenly Demon.
Ten days later, they finally wiped out the Heavenly Demon.
Qu Jianlei gathered nearly a hundred strands of demonic energy. "Which of you two is willing to come with me to find the demonic lair?"
"The Heavenly Demon's... Nest?" Han Li and Xiao You exchanged a glance, their astonishment truly undisguised.
After a long while, Han Li finally asked, "Following the clues?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded, "It is impolite not to reciprocate. If the enemy can retaliate, so can I!"
"I'm afraid that won't work!" Xiao You shook his head. "The Heavenly Demon World is usually very well hidden, and they are very careful about their lair!"
The world of the Heavenly Demons is generally beyond the perception of even True Venerables. Those who scheme against others will always be schemed against in return; this principle is too simple.
If the True Venerables of the Human Race cannot detect it, aren't there still True Monarchs?
However, there's a lot to say here. In short: the Heavenly Demon is not worthy of the Great Lord's intervention!
The Human Race's Grand Venerables can basically crush them; don't underestimate the Great Monarchs!
Qu Jianlei smiled dismissively, "We'll have to try it to find out."
"But there wasn't much to gain in the Heavenly Demon World," Xiaoyou said, still somewhat uninterested.
That's a bit like Versailles. Generally speaking, if the ordinary cultivation world discovers the Heavenly Demon Realm, it will basically be a grand feast.
It's not that I'm talking about Nightmare Transformation Essence or anything like that; those kinds of rare treasures are things you can only come across by chance.
The key point is that the Heavenly Demon is powerful because it is formless and intangible, but every advantage has its disadvantages.
This trait also has its drawbacks, namely—many good things simply cannot be used!
It's normal for demons to possess cultivators, but they can't use most magical treasures and precious materials!
Aside from being used sparingly during possession, it's basically useless at other times.
Many treasures are corrupted by demonic energy, becoming ineffective or damaged, but quite a few are preserved.
Therefore, once the world of demons is discovered, almost no cultivators can resist its allure.
However, Xiaoyou was not wrong.
The Heavenly Demons rarely manage to kill a True Venerable. So, even if they have many useless treasures, would they be able to arouse the interest of a powerful True Venerable?
"We need to investigate that!" Han Li gave her a speechless look. "You should have a general idea."
“We can’t find out,” Xiaoyou said abruptly.
"I'll give it a try," Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, took out a wisp of demonic energy, and silently performed divination.
Although these two individuals held different views from his own, they still had to protect him when he performed divination.
Sure enough, his expression changed the next moment. After a moment of silence, he forced a smile and said, "Interesting!"
"Interesting my foot!" Han Li roared angrily. "Tell me, what happened!"
“The cause and effect have all been obscured,” Qu Jianlei said, not angry at all. They were all his own brothers, which was why he was so angry.
What he cared about was the divination result: "Hmm, I suffered quite a backlash!"
“Indeed,” Xiaoyou nodded slowly, “Master is right, my only chance to be distracted lies in Houde!”
"Huh?" Han Li looked at her suspiciously. "To be able to foresee your destiny at the Nascent Soul stage, could it be that your master is also above the Nascent Soul stage?"
"I am unaware of Master's cultivation level," Xiao You replied calmly, "Perhaps Miss knows."
"I know nothing!" The woman's voice clearly indicated she had been listening to the gossip the whole time, and only spoke up now.
"But I can be sure of one thing: Ling Yun knows a little bit about this guy's background."
Then her consciousness weakened considerably. "I was distracted by Lingyun a while ago, I don't believe you didn't feel it!"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. The sound was so loud and earth-shattering, how could anyone not have felt it?
But no one could handle this topic.
Just then, the Compass of Creation slowly shrank.
However, judging from the extent of the shrinkage, it seems like it will take some time to recover; it clearly feels like it ate too much.
"I don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble," Qu Jianlei said seriously. "Miss, can Ling Yun protect Jing Yuexin?"
"Who do you think you're underestimating?" the young woman said unhappily. "As long as your protective mountain formation isn't poorly made and can withstand my arrival."
The one speaking now is only Taiyuan Hai's clone; his true body is inside the Lingyun Sect.
However, a promise made by a Grandmaster of the Divine Realm is no joke; there's no need to say more... it has a cause and effect!
"With those words from you, Miss, that's enough," Qu Jianlei smiled upon hearing this. "Then I can go all out."
Honestly, compared to the protection offered by Qingning and her husband, he trusted Taiyuanhai's promise more.
One is based on pure trust, plus a little bit of strength; the other is based on strength, plus a little bit of... trust!
He thought about it carefully for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I want to investigate this further. Everyone, wait here."
These words seemed nonsensical, but everyone else understood them. Han Li couldn't help but say, "Count me in. So what if it's the Great Khan?"
He truly lives up to his reputation as a master of courting death; he really dares to do it.
“And me,” Xiaoyou said, clearly still passionate about illicit affairs, “we’ve rebelled against the Great Lord more than once, let’s continue.”
