Xu Qin entered the small garden. She walked toward the pavilion by the small pond in the back of the garden. Currently, Xu Qin was wearing an apricot palace dress. Although she had a good relationship with Xiang Qingcheng, Xu Qin did not seem to be infected by Xiang Qingcheng's unapproachable attitude. At this time, he looked at Lu Xiaotian with a smile on his face. He did not stand on ceremony and directly sat down on the stone chair next to Lu Xiaotian's stone table. "This should be the second time we meet. Back then, I actually treated you as a Nascent Soul cultivator. I really misjudged you. However, should I call you Mister Dongfang or Mister Lu?"
"Names are just a form of address. You can call me whichever you feel is more comfortable with," Lu Xiaotian said faintly.
"I feel that the name Dongfang is more comfortable," Xu Qin sized up Lu Xiaotian a few times and smiled. "You should already know why I'm here. Qingcheng is about to break through and she needs someone she can trust to protect her. Are you ready?"
"Qingcheng is the princess of the royal family. Her status is noble and her master must be very impressive. There are many experts in the royal family. Why would you think of me?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Since Sister Qingcheng thought of you, it means that she can trust you. To be honest, I'm also very curious about what happened to her in the past ten years. She was originally at odds with you, but now she seems to have changed."
Xu Qin pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she said seriously, "Sister Qingcheng's master is naturally not ordinary. However, her master's lifespan is depleted faster than expected. He probably can't hold on for more than half a month. If Aunt Jing, or Silver Flute, was still around, there would naturally be no need for someone else to do it. Sister Qingcheng's status in the royal family may be noble. However, the royal family may look glamorous on the outside, but how would people who haven't been in the situation understand the dangers within? It's a pity that Uncle Kuang went to Xingye. Otherwise, with Uncle Kuang around, it wouldn't be like this. "
"If that's the case, it might be a little dangerous for Qingcheng to break through. But if he didn't guard it, then where was Xingye? Even an expert like Brother Kuang can't leave, "Lu Xiaotian said curiously.
"Have you heard of the Great Wilderness Song?" Xu Qin asked.
"Yu Xingye of the War Ghost Tribe. Brother Kuang went to the battlefield with the War Ghost Tribe." Lu Xiaotian's eyes widened. The Great Desolation Song was an ancient song passed down by the ancient cultivators who went on expeditions in the past. Although the Qingyu Continent where the Moongazing World was located was far from the Scarlet Abyss Continent, it shouldn't be too difficult for ancient cultivators to travel between the continents. It was understandable that the ancient cultivators of the Qingyu Continent and the Scarlet Abyss Continent had joined forces to fight against the demon, ghost, and devil races.
"Naturally, it's this Star Field. Back then, when the human race was prosperous, they forced the ghost race into the depths of the Star Field Wasteland. Now, there are some strange movements coming from there. Not only our Xiang Country, but also Daqi Country, Heavenly Martial Country, and even cultivators from other Immortal Dynasties. "Xu Qin nodded.
"Since even the members of the imperial family have been alarmed, why haven't the members of the six great cultivation families come?" Lu Xiaotian asked with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"The Star Field was the main battlefield of the war between the human race and the ghost race. These few years, I've flipped through many ancient books and vaguely found some clues. When Great Emperor Qinling was still alive, the ghost race in the Star Field Wasteland rebelled once. Later, they were suppressed by Great Emperor Qinling with great means. Since it's related to Great Emperor Qinling, the imperial families of the various Immortal Dynasties naturally wouldn't let those side branches interfere too early. " Xu Qin continued, "Of course, some of the ghost kings that appeared in the Star Field this time are extremely powerful. Ordinary cultivators aren't their match. You and I didn't personally experience the situation, so we have no way of knowing. "
Lu Xiaotian looked thoughtful. Looking at Xu Qin's expression, the credibility of this matter was probably not low. It was actually related to Great Emperor Qinling again. Back then, the war between the Stone Golem Tribe and the ghost race, as well as the war between the human and ghost race in Moongazing City, showed that the ghost race was probably no less powerful than the devil race.
Although the war between the human and ghost race in Moongazing City suppressed the main force of the ghost race, Lu Xiaotian didn't think that the ghost race was completely suppressed.
Back then, when they re-entered the Bloody Forbidden Land, the ghost cave that they found there didn't erupt. Otherwise, the Qingyu continent would have already become a ghost region. If it wasn't for the pressure from the outside world, the Moongazing Immortal World wouldn't have quickly joined forces with the nearby South Wilderness Immortal World to enter the Spiritual Mound Mystic Realm together. To find other living space for the Moongazing Immortal World.
From the current situation, the ghost race that invaded the Moongazing Immortal World back then was just a branch of the ghost race army. The ghost race in the Star Field Wasteland was the real foundation of the ghost race.
"What kind of enemy does Qingcheng have in the imperial family that would disturb her breakthrough? This person must have a high position in the Xiang Shi Imperial Family. Otherwise, the others wouldn't turn a blind eye to such internal strife. Doesn't the Xiang Shi Imperial Family have a doyen association? They don't care? "Lu Xiaotian asked doubtfully.
"Don't talk about those old things. Like Uncle Kuang and the other top experts, they are either in closed door cultivation, in the Star Field Wasteland, or roaming outside to collect the spiritual items they need. At their level, they either want to live a few more years and look for items to increase their lifespan or look for opportunities to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage. Other than the imperial family collecting some impressive spiritual items and coming back to share them, you wouldn't see anyone else. Back then, Qingcheng severely injured a guy who had bad intentions towards her and destroyed his dao foundation. However, that guy was destroyed but he had an extremely protective father, Xiang Nanming. Xiang Nanming was already a grand cultivator a long time ago. However, his methods weren't considered brilliant and he was slightly weaker than the Six Great Family Heads. However, 20 years ago, he seemed to have encountered something and his strength increased sharply. At the very least, he has reached the level of the Six Great Family Heads. It's very likely that Xiang Nanming is slightly stronger. "
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but Xiang Nanming has been in Xiang Du during this period of time. Only when you reach the level of a grand cultivator can you enter the Imperial doyen association. However, Silver Flute is about to pass away and Uncle Kuang isn't around. Ordinary members of the doyen association wouldn't dare to interfere with Xiang Nanming's matters. As long as Xiang Nanming doesn't do anything out of line and doesn't do anything openly, the other doyens will turn a blind eye even if they find out. "
"Facing Xiang Nanming, whose means might surpass that of the Six Great Clans' Patriarchs, Qingcheng really thinks highly of me." Lu Xiaotian laughed bitterly.
"To be honest, other than you, I haven't seen any man that Qingcheng thinks highly of. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she thinks highly of you. "Xu Qin pursed her lips and smiled." From the looks of it, you've already agreed. "
"I already offended Xiao Jinlei, so I don't care about adding another Xiang Nanming to the list. When will you take me to the place where she cultivates? I think it won't be easy for her to break through. Silver Flute should also have some arrangements. Why don't you take me to familiarize myself with it first? "
