Inside the Blue Sky Hall, Wang Qingchuan had already sent his congratulatory gift to the Spirit World. The human and spirit realms were neighbors, and according to the usual practice, the human world would send a congratulatory gift over on New Year's Eve to express their congratulations. To show their sincerity, the gifts would be delivered in the early hours of the New Year's Eve.
When the hidden spirit saw that it was Qing Chuan, she greeted him with a smile, ”I am sorry to trouble you to invite Yue Ling Zi to come personally.” As he said that, he brought a cup of warm tea to Wang Qingchuan.
Wang Qingchuan did not accept the tea. He clasped his fists and said coldly, ”The wedding gift has already been delivered according to the leader's orders, I'll take my leave!”
”Lady Qing Chuan, it's already early in the morning. Moreover, the snow is blowing heavily outside and the roads are slippery and difficult to walk on. If you don't mind, all of us would be more humble.”
At this moment, Gu Xueluo also walked up and advised, ”That's right, Lady Qing Chuan. It's a deep and snow-covered night, why not stay here for the night and wait until tomorrow to pay respects to Elder Yin.”
Wang Qingchuan looked out at the heavy snow and thought to himself, ”The road is indeed difficult, and we have the kindness of Taixuan to keep them here.” Then he looked at Hidden Spirit and said gently, ”Alright, I'll have to trouble you to make the arrangements.”
Gu Xueluo said, ”That's right, Lady Qing Chuan. We'll stay in the Ming Pavilion tonight, so we can be companions and chat.”
Only then did Wang Qingchuan notice Gu Xueluo. He quickly bowed and apologized, ”Qingchuan was careless just now and did not see the celestial sovereign here. Please forgive me, celestial sovereign!”
Gu Xueluo was startled by Wang Qingchuan's bow. She came back to her senses and hurriedly helped him up, saying: ”We are all friends. Lady Qingchuan, there is no need to be polite. We are about the same age, so there is no need to bow like this.”
The next day, as expected, Xue Ji was in the early clear. The Spirit of Concealment brought Wang Qingchuan to meet with Yin Bao. After her observation and conversation with Gu Xueluo, Wang Qingchuan realized that the fifth hidden spirit was not as annoying and scheming as her first impression of him. He used to make things difficult for her, but he was not angry.
In the Immortal World's Kunlun Ruins, Li Tuohuan, Yang Mingfei, and Lingran, the two holy emissaries, were in the process of increasing their power to investigate the matter of the Twilight Jade. They ordered Yang Mingfei to lead the group of immortals to the Qing Qiu mountain, and to search for the Twilight Jade with all his might.
Ling Ran and Long Feng looked at Yang Mingfei with completely different gazes, reluctantly saying: ”Feiyu, right now, all the powers in the Qing Qiu Mountain are fighting amongst each other with hidden ravines. This time, you should be careful. Don't be too careless.”
Yang Mingfei's light brows fluttered as he disdainfully said, ”Don't worry. What can happen to the Qing Qiu mountain? They probably wouldn't dare to do anything to the Immortal World.”
He handed over a short bamboo flute and said, ”This bamboo flute is made from the bamboo of the Kunlun Ruins. It can be used to transmit sound for thousands of miles, and in times of crisis, as long as you play it, I will be able to hear you.”
Yang Mingfei lightly played with the flute, the flute's body was as smooth as jade due to the carving. Although the flute was small, it had a sense of texture when held in hand, ”En, not bad. It seems like you spend all your time carving this flute. ”Thank you for your help with this flute. If things go well, I'll bring you some good wine from the world when I return from the Qing Qiu mountain.”
Lingran smiled and said, ”Good, you have to keep your word. I'll be waiting for your wine!”
He stood there blankly in the wind, his long sleeves fluttering. The wind blew past his sharp face, dispersing his vague memories and thoughts, as if it was transmitting his lonely thoughts to that end, to Yang Mingfei who had just drifted away.
The QIng Qiu Mountain had now become a place where all the forces of the six realms competed and all the realms came for one goal, and that was the precious treasure of the six realms, the Twilight Jade, which was also the supreme secret manual for the six realms. The primordial true essence and the Sky, Earth, Profound, Yellow, Scripture, and mental cultivation methods were also among the best in the six realms. Among these waves of power, the Immortal World might have truly helped the Supreme Mystery to track down the Twilight Jade. The other realms, especially the Demon and Demon Realms, were mostly because they wanted to use the name of the search to take the Twilight Jade.
On the back mountain of the Supreme Mystery Capital, Yang Mingfei was leading the group as they flew past. His white robe fluttered in the wind, bringing with it the ethereal and formless feeling unique to the Immortal World.
At this time, the fifth Hidden Spirit also brought along the Taixuan disciples. From afar, they saw a group of white figures flash past. The disciples were all startled and tightly gripped their sword sheaths, ready to attack. The hidden spirit waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop and whispered, ”From the way he is dressed, I'm afraid this is the Immortal World that has passed by. Everyone, do not be nervous.”
A disciple said angrily, ”Is our Qing Qiu Mountain an amusement park? How can we allow people from all walks of life to go in and out and jump up and down?”
The spirit said coldly, ”Do I not want to drive the forces of the various realms out of the Qing Qiu Mountain, but the disappearance of Mu Xuefu in the Qing Qiu Mountain is a fact? Now it happens that all the realms have revealed the truth and allowed them to roam about the Qing Qiu Mountain as they wish, prying into the secrets of the twelve pots of one of the four cities.”
The disciples were still unwilling and angrily said: ”Then even if that's the case, they should still greet us. After all, they are moving on our territory, how can they be so presumptuous!”
In any case, it was still in the Qing Qiu Mountains, and they were so close to the Supreme Mystery, so how could they underestimate it? Thus, they shouted at the white shadow: ”Hey, friend, since you've come to the Qing Qiu Mountain and met the disciples of the Supreme Profound, why don't you come over and say hello?”
Yang Mingfei was just about to lead the group away, but after hearing the Spirit of Concealment's shout, he used inner force to stop his footsteps, and turned around to dash over. Just as Yin Ling finished speaking, Yang Mingyu's figure seemed to be standing in front of him.
Yang Mingfei coldly said: ”Oh, so it's Spiritual Master Su Wu. I thought someone was making a ruckus here, but our Immortal World has come all the way here to help you trace the Mu Xuejian. Time is of the essence, do you all have to greet me?”
He didn't expect that the Immortal World would still be so arrogant and rude. Even if they were to help him, they wouldn't need to put on a haughty and overbearing attitude and allow them to do as they please. He then said with a clear and furious voice, ”Yang Ming, Left Holy Envoy, Qing Qiu is not a amusement park, but you must always have some rules. Your Immortal World has always been the most respectful, and I hope that you won't disturb the peace and quiet of the Qing Qiu Mountain.”
Yang Mingfei thought to himself, we originally came here to help investigate the Twilight Jade, but now after such a cold misunderstanding, he angrily scolded: ”Fifth Hidden Spirit, what do you mean, Qing Qiu Mountain is one side of the Holy Land, but our Immortal World also has its own style of conduct, whatever rules and regulations, finding the Twilight Jade is the true ability!”
The hidden needle in Yang Ming's Flying Feather's words was mocking Tai Xuan for losing his Twilight Jade, provoking the hidden spirit and that fragile nerve of his. The hidden spirit said coldly: ”Saint Sun Ming, from your tone, it doesn't sound like you're sincerely here to help. If you play around with us in the Qing Qiu mountain, don't blame us for being impolite!”
Although his tone of voice was low, it was still extremely lethal. Yang Mingfei suppressed his anger and left, the two of them parting on bad terms.
The bamboo forest was hundreds of miles away from his father's altar. It stretched for hundreds of miles and was filled with the scent of bamboo. Thick bamboo leaves covered the entire area with a chill. The withered yellow bamboo leaves in the forest floated down, bringing with them the lightheartedness and coldness unique to Xue Ji and Chu Qing, rendering the entire bamboo forest desolate and sorrowful.
He did not know where the news came from, but the whereabouts of the Twilight Jade appeared in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest! When the news came out, it shocked everyone. All types of powers rushed in and shattered the thousand years of peace in the bamboo forest.
Yang Mingfei's group was the first to arrive at the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest. When they slowly descended into the bamboo forest, she had a faint ominous premonition, as if the bamboo forest was filled with a dark, cold, and vicious aura. Perhaps it was because no one had been around for a long time, but Yang Mingfei did not think too deeply about it. She led the group and advanced forward. Her gaze captured every corner of the bamboo forest, taking in every view. She also searched for dangers that could appear at any time.
