Half an hour later, Ling Ji stared at Meng Qi in a daze, completely at a loss.
Meng Qi released her hand and let the thin longsword float next to her.
Her expression was calm and composed. At the very least, she would not be affected by something like this. Everyone's talent was different, and she was not a sword xiu.
"How is it?" Meng Qi tilted her head slightly. She could still joke with Ling Ji. "Does my talent in swordsmanship amaze you?"
"En … … cough cough … …" When Ling Ji had faced off against Yan Shunbei in Mirror Moon Heaven, she had had the presence of a true grandmaster.
Now, she was clearly much more relaxed. "You still hold the sword very firmly."
He said, "Your memory is not bad. You memorized the sword moves after being taught once." It was just that she could not use them.
"En … …" He thought and then said seriously, "The key is that your attitude is very good. You are calm and composed. Xiuzhe need this kind of attitude to have a bright future."
Meng Qi couldn't help but smile. "Sect Master Ling has worked hard."
Everyone liked to hear compliments, and she was no exception.
Truthfully, when Ji Wujiong had looked at her with undisguised amazement in the Apricot Forest Boundary and insisted on taking her as a disciple, she had been slightly happy.
Now, a powerful person like Ling Ji was trying to find good points to praise her. It was hard to be angry at him.
However, it was one thing to like to hear praise. It was more important to know one's own strengths and weaknesses.
"You are welcome," Ling Ji murmured.
He stared at Meng Qi. She couldn't be considered a stunning beauty, but she had an elegant face and a calm demeanor. She made people feel very comfortable.
"Sect Master Ling, if there is nothing else, I will leave." Meng Qi bowed to Ling Ji and turned to walk back the way she had come.
"Wait." Ling Ji hurriedly stopped her.
Just now, he had said shamelessly that Meng Qi would soon know what her talent was, and why he had found her.
The development of the matter was completely different from what he had imagined. Ling Ji was slightly conflicted.
Meng Qi stopped and turned around, looking at Ling Ji curiously.
"You …" Ling Ji pondered for a moment. "Aren't you curious about why I came to you?"
"Oh." Meng Qi felt a little helpless. Why did the two people he met today like to talk in this way?
Why did they have to take the initiative to ask them?
"A little." She said honestly, "The Broken Space Sect was also looking for me, but I believe that since Sect Master Ling agreed to the bet with Sect Master Yan, he would not make a move on me before I enter the Ten Extremes Mountain."
"Of course," Ling Ji said quickly.
After a moment of silence, he continued: "I wasn't originally the sect master of the Broken Void Sect, I only became the sect master recently"
Meng Qi: "…"
She didn't answer and just looked at Ling Ji quietly.
"In the past …" Ling Ji paused. After a moment of silence, she continued, "I felt that being a free Itinerant Cultivator was quite good."
He slowly clenched his hands that were hanging by his side. When he met Meng Qi's clear eyes, he suddenly sighed softly.
"Fine." Ling Ji waved his hand. "Everything can wait until you come out of the Ten Extremes Mountain."
"I …" He glanced at Meng Qi again. "I'll leave first."
Meng Qi felt confused. She watched as Ling Ji really turned and left.
The thin layer of mist dissipated. She stood in place for a moment until Ling Ji's figure completely disappeared into the night. Then, she turned and walked back the way she came.
Yan Xuan was still waiting in place. When he saw Meng Qi return, he didn't find it strange.
The two continued to walk towards the Mirror-Moon Sky Resort. After a few steps, Yan Xuan suddenly asked, "Why did he look for you?"
"To see if I have a talent for swordsmanship," Meng Qi murmured.
"Do you?" Yan Xuan asked.
"No." Meng Qi shook her head.
"Hey!" Yan Xuan suddenly spoke. "Did you notice that you look a bit like him?"
"Huh?" Meng Qi was stunned.
"Your eyebrows and eyes are really similar to his." Yan Xuan frowned slightly and recalled seriously. "Your nose is also similar …"
Meng Qi: "???"
It can't be, is it that dramatic?
Meng Qi recalled seriously. Her adoptive mother was a widowed woman in the Cool Breeze Valley.
Although they lived in poverty, her adoptive mother was a very capable and hardworking person. Although their home wasn't big, everything was very warm.
When Meng Qi was young, she always thought that her adoptive mother was her mother because she was really good to her and gave her meticulous and warm love.
But when she was ten years old, her adoptive mother fell seriously ill. Before she died, she told her that she found Meng Qi in the forest in the Cool Breeze Valley.
The small package she found had a small "Qi" embroidered on it.
Her adoptive mother's surname was Meng Qi, so she was called Meng Qi.
Her adoptive mother endured her illness and even took Meng Qi to see the place where she found her.
It was under a cliff, and there was nothing special about it. The forest was deep, and very few people went there.
Her adoptive mother went there to pick some medicinal herbs and exchange them for pills in the Cool Breeze Valley. Many residents of the Cool Breeze Town would do this. They would pick some medicinal herbs that they could and then exchange them for pills to treat headaches, fever, or external injuries in the Cool Breeze Valley.
If her adoptive mother hadn't happened to pass by, Meng Qi, who was still a baby, might have died quietly in the forest.
Later, Meng Qi passed a test and officially became a disciple of the Cool Breeze Valley, becoming an ordinary medical practitioner.
In the sect, there was the talented senior sister Lu Qing Ran, as well as some senior brothers and sisters whose parents were ordinary practitioners.
Meng Qi never thought of looking for her parents. She felt that since they threw her there, it meant that they didn't want her anymore.
In her previous life, until her death, Meng Qi didn't know who her parents were.
She would never even mention it to anyone.
Oh …
Meng Qi thought about it. It wasn't like she had never mentioned it to anyone.
She once told Yun Qingyan. At that time, they had been traveling together for a long time. Sometimes, Meng Qi would cook a few dishes at night, and Yun Qingyan would also drink a few cups.
Meng Qi couldn't remember clearly. She was never a good drinker. Once, she drank a few cups with Yun Qingyan. Her head was groggy, and she seemed to have become more talkative.
Then, she mentioned her biological parents, whom she had never met.
Meng Qi couldn't remember what they said after that.
She collected her drifting thoughts and quickly calmed down.
It couldn't be that dramatic, right?
Meng Qi thought it was a little funny, but if that was the case, Ling Ji's strange attitude probably made sense.
"What are you thinking about?" She didn't speak for a long time, and Yan Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing." Meng Qi was very calm. "I don't think so."
She shrugged and smiled slyly. "My cultivation talent is very poor, and my swordsmanship talent is even more …"
Meng Qi thought about it and could only describe it. "It's too horrible to look at!"
She said, "I shocked Sect Leader Ling just now. He was so scared that he turned around and left."
Yan Xuan: "…"
"What we should think about now is the Shijue Mountain." Meng Qi said again, "Don't let these irrelevant things distract us."
Yan Xuan: "…"
Was this an insignificant matter?
If Meng Qi was really Ling Ji's daughter, then she was the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Broken Void Sect. She was the eldest daughter of one of the strongest sword cultivation sects in the world. Her life would be completely different from then on.
"You …" Yan Xuan thought about it and said, "Do you know what kind of person Ling Ji is?"
He didn't wait for Meng Qi to answer and said directly, "Even in the West World, he is a legend!"
Yan Xuan quickly recalled and said, "Let's put it this way. Almost all the sword cultivators of the younger generation in the Four Realms grew up listening to the legends of Ling Ji. He is a sword cultivator who is more talented and more powerful than anyone in the world. "
Yan Xuan said, "When he was twenty, he had already stepped into the Dongxu stage. His lifebound sword was even more powerful. In the years when Ling Ji swept through the three thousand worlds, many people were scared out of their wits just by hearing the two words' Ling Ji '. "
"Among the various legends about him in the West World, the most widely spread story was when he stepped into the Dongxu stage. He went straight into the Starfall Sea with his sword. He killed demons when he met them. He killed so many demons that we thought the Starfall Sea was like purgatory. The demons were all scared, but he entered as if there was no one there."
"That time when he left the Starfall Sea, he brought out many jade slips that had been lost for a long time. He even brought out the corpse of a senior who had died in the Starfall Sea many years ago. That senior also came from a large sect. His only daughter came personally and was willing to be a slave to repay his kindness. But senior Ling Ji refused. "
Yan Xuan said, "Even now, he still doesn't have a dao companion."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Meng Qi, and said, "The Broken Space Sect originally relied on sword formations to dominate the four worlds. Senior Ling Ji's sword alone was even more powerful than the sword formation. And it is said that he is the only person in their sect who has learned the strongest sword technique. "
"Oh." Meng Qi nodded.
"Ah, right." Yan Xuan remembered, "We once joined forces with the yao world to attack the mo world. That was already more than twenty years ago. At that time, the ten great sects of the three thousand worlds and four worlds all sent out cultivators to form an alliance. The leader was senior Ling Ji."
Meng Qi nodded.
"But after that time, he went silent. Father said that when a cultivator reaches a certain level, they will be like this. They will no longer be trapped by worldly affairs, and will wholeheartedly walk towards the great dao. " Yan Xuan continued, "So this time, he became the new sect master of the Broken Space Sect. Even my father felt a bit surprised."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Meng Qi, "Mirror Moon Sky Resort is up ahead, you can go back."
"You are not coming with me?" Meng Qi asked.
"I am in the city. If you want to find me, go to that restaurant. Before Ten Extremes Mountain opens, I will go there every evening," Yan Xuan said after a slight hesitation.
"Alright." Meng Qi nodded.
She had been out for almost a day. At this time, the sky was starting to turn white, and Mirror Moon Sky City was gradually waking up.
"Meng Qi." Yan Xuan stood with her on a street at the corner of Mirror Moon Sky Resort. He looked at Meng Qi's eyes and suddenly asked, "One last question, why did you ask me to cooperate?"
He asked.
He did not let Meng Qi speak, and said first, "Other than the fact that I am the son of the sect master of Mirror Moon Sky Sect."
"Oh," Meng Qi thought and said, "Your neidan is almost completely destroyed, I want to see if it can be healed. This is my personal interest. "
She looked at Yan Xuan and felt a little embarrassed. She asked, "Do you know Senior Lin Yan?"
"I do." Yan Xuan nodded.
Lin Yan was an ancient great doctor. Even if she was not a medical cultivator, her deeds were known by many people.
"I wish I could have been born ten thousand years earlier so that I could fight side by side with Senior Lin Yan." Meng Qi smiled. "Or, I could have done my best to heal her after she was injured."
She said, "This is probably the dream of every medical cultivator. So … "
She patted Yan Xuan's shoulder and said, "Young man, I'm sorry, you are probably Senior Lin Yan's substitute."
After Meng Qi finished speaking, she strode towards Mirror Moon Sky Resort.
Yan Xuan still stood in the same place. He stared at Meng Qi's back in a daze. After a while, he also strode towards the resort.
The disciples of Mirror Moon Sky were still so respectful and polite to him. But after he was injured, he always felt that this politeness contained some sympathy or other emotions.
At this time, Yan Xuan did not think so much. He quickly returned to Mirror Moon Sky Sect through the teleportation formation in the resort.
"Father." Yan Xuan quickly arrived at his father's place. He knocked on the door and entered after getting permission.
"You're back." Yan Shunbei lived on a cliff in Mirror Moon Sky.
There was a house on the cliff. In addition, there was a pine tree with a stone table and a stone bench under the tree.
Yan Shunbei sat there. There was a chessboard on the stone table. There were already many black and white chess pieces on it.
He heard his son's footsteps approaching but did not look up. He still placed the chess pieces step by step as if nothing was more important than the game in front of him.
Yan Xuan sat down opposite him. "I saw Meng Qi."
"Oh?" Yan Shunbei put down the white chess piece in his hand and looked up at him. "How was it?"
Yan Xuan picked up a black chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. "It's quite special."
Yan Shunbei did not speak. After a moment of silence, he put down another white chess piece.
Yan Xuan played quickly and put down another black chess piece almost without thinking.
After a dozen or so moves, the white chess piece showed clear signs of defeat.
Yan Shunbei frowned and messed up the chessboard with a flick of his sleeve. "You're always making trouble!"
Yan Xuan smiled and did not say anything.
He threw the remaining black chess pieces in his hand into a box on the side and said, "Father, you also saw the last image of the Apricot Forest Boundary that day. I feel that Meng Qi is trustworthy."
"What happened yesterday?" Yan Shunbei asked.
"She spent six hours to heal an ordinary citizen in the city who was injured by demon energy. She said that if she saw an injured child, she would heal if she could. "
"Are you not worried that she is acting for you?" Yan Shunbei asked.
"What does she want from me?" Yan Xuan's tone became bitter. "I am now a qi disciple. I will only be a burden to anyone."
He quickly became spirited and said, "After entering Ten Extremes Mountain, we will not know anything that happens. She has no need to spend the effort to lie to me now."
"Ten Extremes Mountain is in Mirrormoon Heaven." Yan Shunbei said slowly, "Although everyone says that no one knows what will happen in Ten Extremes Mountain, we also do not know. But Ten Extremes Mountain is in Mirrormoon Heaven! "
He looked at his son. "After so many years, there are many disciples of Mirrormoon Heaven who can enter Ten Extremes Mountain and come out alive."
"Father." Yan Xuan looked at his father and saw the worry in his eyes. "I know all this, but I am willing to believe her. We can try to believe her once. "
"Alright." Yan Shunbei stood up.
He slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance. "In these two years, you were not willing to come back. I know you still blame me."
Yan Shunbei stood with his hands behind his back and sighed lightly. "If we could have arrived a day earlier, your injuries would not have …"
"Father." Yan Xuan interrupted him. "Let's not mention the past."
He stood up. "Even if I had to do it again, I would still make the same choice. Father is the same, no?"
Yan Xuan said, "If I were father, I would probably make the same choice as you. I always remember what father said. Cultivating the great dao, the path is long and difficult, but if you have a clear conscience, then your dao heart will be firm enough. "
"Your son has always remembered and has always done this."
After Yan Xuan finished speaking, he bowed towards Yan Shunbei who had his back facing him and left with large strides.
Yan Shunbei did not turn around. He still stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the cliff. The mountain wind blew his long robe.
The skin on his face was originally very smooth, but now it seemed to have many wrinkles blown out by the mountain wind.
Hearing his son's footsteps gradually fade away, Yan Shunbei sighed again.
"What are you doing?" Until Ling Ji's voice sounded behind him.
Yan Shunbei turned to look at the uninvited sect master of Broken Space Sect and said expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"
"The one who just left was Yan Xuan right?" Ling Ji looked back. "Is this child still at odds with you?"
Yan Shunbei did not speak.
"That's true." Ling Ji smiled. "If I was in deep danger, my father, for the sect, for the three thousand worlds, let me hold on for three days and three nights by myself. In the end, my inner core was destroyed and I turned from an Insightful Emptiness Realm cultivator to what I am now. I wouldn't feel good either."
Yan Shunbei, "… You!"
He took a deep breath and made his tone sound calmer. "You know what kind of situation it was at that time."
"I know." Ling Ji said, "But if it was my daughter, even if I betrayed the world, I would put everything down and rush over immediately."
"Hmph!" Yan Shunbei snorted coldly. "So the person your daughter worships is the senior doctor who is willing to sacrifice himself for the three thousand worlds."
"Alright, alright, let's talk about the Ten Extremes Mountain first." Ling Ji's face turned green for a while. She quickly changed the topic. "Tell me everything you know."
"I only know this much. What's going on with the Ten Extremes Mountain, don't you know? "Yan Shunbei said.
"The Ten Extremes Mountain has been in your Mirror Moon Sky for ten thousand years, have you not secretly studied it? That can't be right?! "Ling Ji said," How did you become the sect master? If this was my Broken Space sect, I would have studied every single blade of grass. "
"This is a branch of the ancient Ten Extremes Mountain." Yan Shunbei said.
"So, other than contributing a qi disciple stage son, your Mirror Moon Sky has nothing else?" Ling Ji was so angry that she wanted to laugh.
Yan Shunbei, "…"
"Sigh." Ling Ji suddenly sighed. "To be honest, Yan Xuan is not bad, I think Qiqi and him get along quite well."
This was the first time he called out "Qiqi", and it was in front of his old friend and rival. In that instant, he felt comfortable all over.
"You know right? Wind Alliance's Xue family also wants Qiqi to marry into their family. " Ling Ji continued. "Xue family's Xue Chengxuan and Qiqi can be said to be like-minded, barely worthy of Qiqi."
"I think that kid at Cloud Peak is the same, chasing Qiqi from south to north, from east to west. Cloud Peak dual cultivator, that kid's talent is not bad. "Ling Ji continued.
"Is there any use in saying this now?" Yan Shunbei stared at him.
"What else?" Ling Ji snorted. "Are you not worried about your son at all?"
Yan Shunbei closed his eyes, then closed them again. "The Demon Realm's Demon Lord Token has reappeared."
He said slowly.
"I know." Ling Ji's expression froze, and she became serious.
"The Demon Lord Token appears once every hundred years, and every time, it is when the Ten Extremes Mountain opens. It is said that there are three branches of the ancient Ten Extremes Mountain. Three thousand worlds, the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm each occupy one. "
"So …" Ling Ji frowned. "You suspect that these three Ten Extremes Mountains are connected?"
"I don't know if they are connected, but no one has ever said how the Demon Lord position is fought for. So … "Yan Shunbei said," It is not impossible. "
Ling Ji's expression also became extremely solemn.
"And if the Demon Realm also has a branch of the Ten Extremes Mountain, it should be the strongest one." Yan Shunbei continued, "Realm Eight demon cultivators can also enter, and even Realm Nine is possible."
"What about the Demon Realm?" Ling Ji's gaze finally became sharp.
"The Demon Realm should be the weakest, there is no need to worry."
"We have always been on good terms with the Demon Realm …" Ling Ji suddenly paused.
The Heavenly Demon White Tiger Clan had ruled the Demon Realm for ten thousand years, they were very friendly to the Three Thousand Worlds.
However, the fight for the Demon Lord position always ended with the death of several extremely powerful Heavenly Demon Royal Clan members.
Ya Wenku
Even if they could not see it, they could imagine the tragedy.
If that was the case, the danger of the Ten Extremes Mountain this time might be …
"We can't let Meng Qi go." Ling Ji suddenly turned around.
"She asked to enter the Ten Extremes Mountain herself," Yan Shunbei said.
"But …" Ling Ji frowned.
"And she will definitely go this time," Yan Shunbei said indifferently. "The black-robed youth who came with her is from the Ji Family. He must have already told Young Friend Meng about this."
He looked at Ling Ji and suddenly smiled. "You were counting back and forth proudly just now, but you seem to have missed two people. One is this Ji Wujiong that I mentioned. Young Friend Meng has the Ji Family's Patriarch Token on her, he should be the one who gave it to her. You should know what this means. There is another one … "
Yan Shunbei sighed. "I'm afraid this time, she will participate in the Demon Lord Battle. Her background is a little scary. "
This time, it was Ling Ji's turn. "…"
"What?" In the room, Meng Qi jumped up. "Are you serious?"
She looked at Ji Wujiong in disbelief and muttered, "You mean …"
"Yes." Ji Wujiong nodded and said in a serious tone, "I have asked my family's elders to investigate these few days. The Minor Ten Extremes Mountain in Mirrormoon Heaven should be connected to the Demon Realm. The Demon Lord Token has reappeared in the Demon Realm, and the battlefield for the fight is probably also in the Ten Extremes Mountain. "
He sighed. "The danger of the Ten Extremes Mountain this time is probably beyond our imagination. Why don't you not go this time, we will think of another way. "
