"Although I'm old, my eyesight isn't that bad."
As Elder Qi spoke, he suddenly sent a palm strike towards Xiao Lingyu's shoulder.
The two of them were so close to each other, and the other party was clearly much stronger than him. Xiao Lingyu knew that he couldn't dodge, so he didn't try to.
Elder Qi's palm strike was swift, but it landed lightly on Xiao Lingyu's shoulder.
Xiao Lingyu felt a strange wave of energy surge into his body, and then all the blood and life essence in his body began to tremble.
Various colors of light overflowed from Xiao Lingyu's body, and the aura of the Yellow Emperor's bloodline was difficult to suppress.
Elder Qi quickly retracted his palm. His originally gloomy expression was now extremely astonished.
"You're actually a demonic cultivator!" Elder Qi narrowed his eyes and said in surprise.
"If Ji Yong hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have killed him. Moreover, the situation at that time was that if I didn't kill him, he would have killed me." Xiao Lingyu forced himself to be calm as he replied.
Elder Qi didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and sat back down on the chair. A pair of bright eyes that didn't match his wrinkled skin stared curiously at Xiao Lingyu.
Zhong Zhi, who was standing to the side, also had a complicated expression.
"If you had killed any other descendant of Earth, it would have been fine. However, Ji Yong is the hope of the descendants of Earth in the Immortal World. Apart from him, we can't find any other descendant of Earth with the bloodline of an ancient powerhouse. This time … you've committed an unforgivable mistake." Elder Qi muttered to himself for a while before speaking.
"Even if I hadn't killed him, with his temperament, it would have been extremely difficult for him to live until he reached the Immortal Venerable Realm." Xiao Lingyu said fearlessly.
"No one can be certain about that."
Elder Qi shook his head and continued, "Although you've transferred Ji Yong's Yellow Emperor bloodline to yourself, the bloodline in your body is too complicated. It seems to be of a high level, but it's not pure. Moreover, you seem to have been struck by an extremely powerful curse. I'm afraid that your life will be in danger within a million years."
Xiao Lingyu knew that the curse Elder Qi was talking about was the Demon Sovereign's life imprint.
"A million years isn't a long time, but it's not short either. This curse might not be able to take my life, and my complicated bloodline might not be any weaker than the pure Yellow Emperor's bloodline. However, these are all my problems, so there's no need for Elder Qi to worry about them," Xiao Lingyu replied calmly.
This Elder Qi was at most an Immortal Venerable. Even if Xiao Lingyu couldn't defeat him, he could still hide in his Divine Dwellings. At most, he could use the thousand armored puppets he had just refined to help him resist for a while.
"Since you were able to kill Ji Yong with your current level of cultivation, I believe you must have some special means. However, there are countless capable people in the Immortal Realm. Young people like you should stay calm and keep a low profile," Elder Qi said calmly.
"Haha, thank you for your advice, Elder Qi," Xiao Lingyu replied in a casual manner.
"No matter what, you were the one who killed Ji Yong. Naturally, you have to take responsibility for his actions," Elder Qi continued.
Xiao Lingyu frowned and said, "What kind of responsibilities does he have to take on?"
Elder Qi replied, "He has to cultivate to the Venerable Realm and become the number one expert in the Immortal Realm. Then, he has to establish an invincible great power controlled by the descendants of Earth."
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and smiled, saying, "Elder Qi just said that there are countless capable people in the Immortal Realm. Who can guarantee that they can become the number one expert when they reach the Venerable Realm? As for establishing an invincible great power, this isn't something that can be done with just one person's strength. There are too many aspects of preparation that need to be done. Even if these two points are achieved, they can only maintain prosperity for a while. There's no such thing as an immortal existence, and naturally, there's no such thing as an immortal power. "
However, Elder Qi said, "People of our generation only consider the matters of our generation and do our best. As for the future generations, there's no need for us to worry about them. However, we must make a start for the future generations and lay a good foundation."
Xiao Lingyu said, "I'm also a descendant of Earth. Naturally, I will contribute to the rise of the descendants of Earth to the best of my ability. However, the responsibilities that Elder Qi is talking about are too heavy. This junior can't bear it. Senior, please choose someone else."
Elder Qi waved his hand and said, "Then I can only ask you to take responsibility for Ji Yong's death."
"Brother Xiao."
At this moment, Zhong Zhi stood up and spoke. He pulled Xiao Lingyu to the side and said, "Brother Xiao, you only know about responsibilities. You also need to know what kind of power you will have if you shoulder this responsibility."
"I don't care about power," Xiao Lingyu replied.
"You can mobilize the majority of the descendants of Earth to work for you, and all the manpower, material, and financial resources we have can be used to serve you. For example, if Brother Xiao wants to find someone, the Information Network can serve you for free. Moreover, it's more efficient."
When Zhong Zhi said this, he glanced at Elder Qi. When he saw that Elder Qi didn't have the slightest change in expression, he continued, "You can even ask a Venerable Immortal like Elder Qi to help you."
According to Zhong Zhi, if he agreed to Elder Qi's request, Xiao Lingyu would basically directly control a large force in the Immortal World that had a Venerable Immortal expert. If it was anyone else, they would definitely be tempted.
However, Xiao Lingyu still shook his head and said, "I still say the same thing. I'm also a descendant of Earth. If there's a need, I'll definitely do my best and won't refuse. However, I don't want to shoulder any heavy responsibilities, nor do I want to have much power."
Zhong Zhi was speechless. He glanced at Elder Qi. Elder Qi waved at him, and he silently retreated to the side.
However, Elder Qi then said, "Young man, what's yours is yours. You can't run away, nor can you shake it off."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Xiao Lingyu cupped his hands and bowed to Elder Qi. Then, he turned around and left. Strangely, Elder Qi didn't stop him.
"Elder Qi, are you letting him go just like that?" Zhong Zhi asked doubtfully.
"He's a stubborn person, and also an unrestrained person. If we force him, it'll only be counterproductive. He hasn't reached the peak yet, and sooner or later, he'll need our help. Moreover, he just said that as long as we have any request, he'll do his best. Since that's the case, let's let him temper himself first. Perhaps he'll grow even faster and stronger on his own, "Elder Qi said helplessly.
"Then, Ji Yong's death …" Zhong Zhi didn't finish his sentence.
"Hehe, that kid's state of mind is too stubborn. If he didn't have the bloodline of the Yellow Emperor, I'm afraid that many descendants of Earth wouldn't like him. Fortunately, he's dead, but his bloodline of the Yellow Emperor remains. In that case, it doesn't matter if he dies." Elder Qi smiled nonchalantly.
Zhong Zhi could tell that Elder Qi was implying that Ji Yong died for nothing.
"This Xiao Lingyu asked us to help find a woman who should have just ascended. Moreover, this mission was also issued to the mercenary army. This woman must be very important to him. Can't we make use of her?" Zhong Zhi continued.
Elder Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Even if we can coerce him like this, it will make him hate us. If he really becomes the number one expert in the Immortal World one day, he might do something irrational because of this. If that's the case, why don't we show him the abilities we have and find that woman as quickly as possible? Perhaps his attitude will change when the time comes. "
Zhong Zhi nodded in agreement, "Elder Qi's thinking is thorough and reliable."
After leaving the East Royal City, Xiao Lingyu flew back to the Southern Flower Immortal Sect without stopping. His mind was filled with complicated thoughts.
After quietly meditating for three days in his loft, Xiao Lingyu gradually recovered his calm state of mind. Then, he activated the protective array and restrictions around his loft before entering his Divine Dwellings to continue refining the armored puppets.
There were only two factions left in the Southern Flower Immortal Sect. Qing Pingzi and the Qing Guards were fighting openly and secretly. Xiao Lingyu didn't worry about it at all. He just locked himself in the pavilion and released the Primal Chaos Truefire to refine the iron armoured puppets day after day.
Originally, the Qing Wei lineage was preparing for a major event. However, Nan Hua Immortal Sect had suffered heavy losses in the Divine Tomb Continent. Nan Hua Immortal Sect couldn't afford to suffer any more setbacks or disturbances. Therefore, the Qing Wei lineage had no choice but to push back the date of the event.
No matter how important the sect master position was, it wasn't as important as stabilizing the sect's foundation. The Qing Guards wouldn't disregard the sect's benefits for themselves.
Several hundred years passed peacefully, and Xiao Lingyu refined another two hundred or so iron armoured puppets. But one day, he discovered that someone was shaking the restriction outside the pavilion, so he had no choice but to leave the Divine Dwellings and release the restriction.
Xiao Lingyu didn't expect that it was Qing Xuan who activated the restriction.
At this moment, Qing Xuan was standing outside with a cold expression. However, when she saw Xiao Lingyu, her expression softened a lot.
"Senior Sister, why are you here?" Xiao Lingyu went up and asked with a smile.
"You don't seem to want to see me." Qing Xuan didn't walk over. She just stood there and said unhappily.
"Senior Sister, please don't misunderstand. I can't wait to see such an eye-catching beauty like Senior Sister every day," Xiao Lingyu said bluntly.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't afraid of Qing Xuan. He also knew that although Qing Xuan was stubborn, she wasn't a temperamental person. That was why he dared to speak in such a tone.
Back in the God Manor, Qing Xuan had used threats to forcibly take away a third of the iron armoured puppets. Moreover, she had forced Xiao Lingyu to take risks with her even before that. Although Xiao Lingyu wasn't someone who liked to hold grudges, he was still able to distinguish between those who were close and those who were distant.
"It's so awkward to hear such words coming from your mouth! However, for countless years, very few people have dared to say such things to me. "
Qing Xuan still didn't move. She glanced at Xiao Lingyu and said, "I heard that a powerful figure has arrived in Nan Hua City, so I want to go and take a look with Junior Brother."
Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, "What kind of powerful figure could actually move Senior Sister to take a look?"
Qing Xuan said, "You'll know when you get there."
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, "I don't have as much free time as Senior Sister. Senior Sister knows that my cultivation is still very low. I need to cultivate diligently. It's best if I don't join in on the fun."
