Everyone, including Lu Xueqi, was stunned for a moment.
Because what was revealed to people was a monster, a humanoid monster, with hands, feet and limbs, and even tight-fitting clothes on its body. The exposed skin was covered in patches that looked like fish scales!
Its head was actually a fish's head, with lips, gills, and even eyes, just like a fish, without eyelids.
Even though the body was split in two, you could still see the internal organs, which is quite different from a human's.
"Xiao Huan, are you alright?"
Lu Xueqi looked at Xiao Huan behind her and whispered words of comfort.
"It's alright, Sister Xueqi!"
Looking at the monster, Xiao Huan felt a chill run down her spine, but she still straightened her back and indicated that she was fine.
Looking at the strangely shaped monster, Xiao Yicai asked with some confusion:
"What kind of monster is this? Junior Brother Zeng, do you know what it is?!"
Chapter 189 Good and Evil Meet! The Millennium Jade!
"I know the origin of this monster."
This thing isn't exactly a demon, but rather a fish-man race, one of the sixty-three alien tribes of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang.
Seeing that Zhou Yixian was about to speak and show off, Zeng Shushu slapped him across the mouth and preemptively said:
Xiao Yicai was clearly asking about my junior brother, why are you interrupting me?
"Pah, kid, what are you doing?"
Zhou Yixian broke free from Zeng Shushu's hand, spat, and cursed, "Respectful elder, respectful elder, didn't your Qingyun Sect teach you anything?"
"Ahem——"
Zeng Shushu wiped his hands on Zhou Yixian's clothes a few times with a look of disgust.
"Hey, you little brat, can't you hear me?!"
Zhou Yixian was furious.
The two seemed to be a perfect match from the start, but they kept arguing.
On the other side, Xiao Yicai was taken aback.
If he remembered correctly, the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang were more than ten thousand miles away from this place. His arrival now was more of a curse than a blessing!
"Sister, who was arguing with Grandpa?"
This was the first time Xiao Huan had ever met her grandfather, and the first time she had ever met someone she had ever met that she had gotten into a huge argument with them, as if they had a grudge from the previous night.
But she remembered that the two of them had never met.
"Um, this is your brother Li's good friend!" Lu Xueqi explained.
"Huh?" Xiao Huan exclaimed in surprise, then looked at the two of them again!
At this moment, Zeng Shushu actually occupied the upper position.
Xiao Huan was somewhat moved.
I never expected that my older brother would know someone who could cure his grandfather.
Somewhat incredible.
As Xiao Huan was reflecting on this, she was enveloped in the thick fog not far away.
The three figures stand facing each other, presenting the most stable structure.
"Brother Gui Li, thank goodness we didn't see your senior brother, otherwise we would have been in a bit of a predicament!"
Qin Wuyan looked at the Qingyun Sect members, and after confirming that Li Qingan was not among them, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke first with a smile.
Gui Li didn't reply, but instead cautiously took a few steps back.
He also knew that Li Qing'an had developed a Taoist technique that allowed him to hear the sounds around him.
Moreover, this technique can expand its range as one's cultivation level improves, which is quite powerful.
As the closest person to her senior brother, Lu Xueqi naturally knew this Taoist technique.
If he was right, Lu Xueqi noticed them the moment Qin Wuyan spoke.
as predicted.
Just as Gui Li took a few steps back, a beam of azure sword light flew towards the three of them.
"who is it?"
Lu Xueqi's cold and wary voice rang out, and the Qingyun Sect disciples beside her quickly went on alert.
After the sword light flashed, the three of them emerged from the thick fog.
"What a coincidence! I never expected to run into the geniuses of Qingyun Sect."
Qin Wuyan took the lead, walking ahead of the two.
When the Qingyun Sect members saw the three people come out, their pupils shrank at first, and then they noticed the black-robed disciple behind them.
"Xiaofan!"
Song Daren, who was traveling with him, raised his hand and called out softly.
At this moment, Gui Li remained expressionless as he looked at his former senior brother and fellow disciples.
Qin Wuyan chuckled, ignoring the Qingyun Sect members and showing no concern for them.
Jin Ping'er stared intently at Lu Xueqi, the most stunning woman in the Qingyun Sect, whom Chief Li couldn't forget.
Her long, narrow, and alluring eyes scrutinized him from head to toe.
In the end, Jin Ping'er had to admit that she was indeed a peerless woman, and even she herself was quite fond of her.
That damn Li Qingan, he has such good taste.
As if sensing something, Lu Xue also looked towards Jin Ping'er.
Their eyes met instantly. Neither of them revealed any emotion, yet they stared intently at each other!
And the other side.
When Xiao Huan saw Jin Ping'er appear, she quickly moved between Lu Xueqi and Jin Ping'er, afraid that the two would fight.
At that point, she won't be able to help either side.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.
When did Xiao Huan come into contact with the members of the Demonic Cult?
Jin Ping'er covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Xiao Huan, there's no need to be nervous. I have no interest in fighting against Qingyun's proud daughter!"
"On the contrary, I am more interested in your sect's Chief Li Qing'an. It is said that he is a womanizer, and I wonder if my delicate appearance will catch his eye."
Jin Ping'er glanced at Lu Xueqi, pretending not to know Li Qing'an.
He teased Lu Xueqi during their conversation.
"what?"
Xiao Huan scratched her head, unsure of what Jin Ping'er was up to.
Zeng Shushu was also dumbfounded, and secretly glanced at Lu Xueqi, who had pulled Xiao Huan behind her again.
Seeing that she didn't seem angry, I breathed a sigh of relief!
Even without his good friend showing up, he managed to win the heart of the most beautiful young master among the three young masters of the Demonic Sect, who is also the goddess in the hearts of countless disciples of the Demonic Sect.
My friend's charm is truly extraordinary; how come he can't find someone like that?
Zeng Shushu looked up at the sky and sighed, then thought about the various rare birds and animals in his house, such as the shell-less turtle.
I just can't figure it out.
"The three of you must be the three young masters of the Demonic Sect: Poison, Wonder, and Blood!"
Xiao Yicai summoned the Seven Star Immortal Sword and circled around it, its entire body enveloped in a faint white light.
"Truly, their skill is superb and their courage is audacious. Knowing that my Qingyun disciple is here, they still dare to show up."
Xiao Yicai shouted sharply, not intending to engage in verbal sparring. The Seven Star Immortal Sword disappeared from his surroundings and reappeared right in front of Qin Wuyan.
Instantly, shouts of battle erupted throughout the area.
Under Qin Wuyan's leadership, Gui Li had no choice but to fight several Qingyun Sect disciples.
The only thing that remained unchanged was that Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi, for some reason, did not make a move, but were merely on guard against the other party's attack.
Meanwhile, at the border between the Death Swamp and Southern Xinjiang, there is a mountain range.
Li Qingan looked at the translucent white jade, a few inches in size, in his hand.
This is the treasure he retrieved from the depths of that dried-up ancient riverbed—the Millennium Jade.
The essence of nurturing jade lies in nurturing the mind, cultivating virtue, and most importantly, nurturing the person.
Not to mention that this thousand-year-old black jade, being of the water element, is even more nourishing to people.
As a betrothal gift to Xiaozhufeng, a place entirely populated by women, it was undoubtedly the best present.
Although I don't understand why Shuiyue sent him a bunch of materials from Tianzhen Peak uninvited before.
But since it was given as a gift, Li Qingan didn't mind accepting it.
However, Li Qing'an would definitely give a return gift, which could be added to the betrothal gifts.
Anyway, what belongs to Lu Xueqi is his.
Li Qing'an glanced towards the direction of southern Xinjiang, where he saw mountains and lush trees.
In the heart of southern Xinjiang, the Incense Valley is located.
Waiting for Li Qingan's visit.
Li Qingan turned his head. Although he was looking forward to seeing Xiaobai, the most important thing now was to get the third volume of the Heavenly Book.
Everything else can be postponed.
