628: Qingyu appears

Not long after, Xiao Lingchen finished treating Zhu Qiqi's injuries.

Actually, there wasn't much to treat.

Although the arrows had pierced Zhu Qiqi's Physical Body, they hadn't hit any vital points.

After a simple treatment, Zhu Qiqi's Physical Body would be able to heal completely within a few days, relying on its own abilities.

"All right."

After doing all of this, Zhu Qiqi couldn't help but look at Xiao Lingchen and ask,

"So what should we do next?"

Xiao Lingchen's gaze fell upon the grassland ahead.

At this moment, the Dao field there had vanished, reverting to an endless grassland.

Xiao Lingchen's eyes held a deep sense of gravity.

"It seems Immortal King Buzhou's Dao field isn't something one can enter at will."

"Even if we have the key to open the Dao field's gate, entering without permission will still lead to an attack."

"It looks like we must find a way!"

Xiao Lingchen returned to the previous stone pillar, preparing to retrieve the earth bead from the Dragon's mouth.

Just then, Xiao Lingchen's eyebrows furrowed, and he stared intently into the stone pillar.

"Qiqi, come here and look!" Xiao Lingchen suddenly called out.

Zhu Qiqi walked over to him in confusion and followed Xiao Lingchen's gaze into the stone pillar.

Xiao Lingchen immediately pointed at the Phoenix's beak on the stone pillar and said,

"There's also a groove here!"

Zhu Qiqi nodded, "Indeed!"

"There's another groove?"

"Does that mean that to enter the Dao field, we actually need two earth beads?"

Xiao Lingchen said, "That's what I thought too."

"We need two earth beads, placed simultaneously in the Dragon's mouth and the Phoenix's mouth, to truly open the Dao field's gate.

Before, we only had one earth bead, so even though we opened the Dao field's door, we were attacked upon entering, just like those who trespassed."

Zhu Qiqi's expression also became solemn: "How could this be?"

"Commander Lin didn't say before that we needed two earth beads!"

Xiao Lingchen's face instantly darkened, and he immediately guessed the truth: "She set us up!"

Lin Qingrong had said that she only knew the earth bead was the key to Immortal King Buzhou's Dao field because she had read about it.

If that were the case, there was no reason for her not to know that two earth beads were actually needed!

But she hadn't mentioned it at all, which was clearly intentional.

She deliberately set them up!

Zhu Qiqi looked disbelieving, just about to speak, when a familiar voice suddenly rang out with a teasing tone:

"You found out, Xiao Lingchen!"

The moment he heard the voice, Xiao Lingchen was stunned.

The next second, his killing intent suddenly surged and shot into the sky.

As he turned around, he immediately saw Qing Yu slowly walking towards them.

Behind Qing Yu were eighteen Black-Robed Men whose faces were obscured.

Just as Jiang Ruochu had said, no Qi could be felt from these Black-Robed Men.

It was as if they weren't human, nor any other kind of living being!

However, Xiao Lingchen didn't care about them.

His gaze was fixed on Qing Yu.

At this moment, Qing Yu's image had completely changed.

She was no longer wearing her previous green palace dress, but had changed into a dark purple short robe embroidered with thorny patterns, revealing her two fair legs below.

Black high-heeled boots made those two fair legs appear longer, straighter, and fairer!

Her hair was loosely tied up with a silver bone hairpin, with a few strands of dark hair falling on either side of her face.

Her originally clear almond eyes were now covered with a thin, misty greyish-purple layer, and fine black mist surged within her pupils.

A faint smile played on the corner of her lips, full of mockery, and also a hint of regret:

"Alas!"

"I didn't expect it, Xiao Lingchen."

"I really didn't expect it! You actually have such capability, to be able to escape from Immortal King Buzhou's Dao field!"

"What a pity!"

"I thought I could just trap you inside, but in the end, I still have to make a move!"

Xiao Lingchen, however, showed his anger: "Qing Yu!"

"I finally found you!"

"Die!!!"

The next second, Xiao Lingchen stomped his foot and instantly flashed, rushing towards Qing Yu!

Xiao Lingchen didn't bother to say more to her.

He only wanted to avenge his Revered Master!

In an instant, Xiao Lingchen's killing intent reached its peak.

With the enhancement of various methods, his strength also reached its limit.

The Opening Heaven Sword in his hand, shimmering with sword light and the lightning attached to the Crimson Firmament God Annihilation Ring, fiercely slashed towards Qing Yu and the others!

Qing Yu's lips curved, "Go!"

It was just a light, airy remark.

But the Black-Robed Men behind her immediately blocked in front of her and charged towards Xiao Lingchen!

"Clang!!!"

They drew the curved swords from their waists and instantly clashed with Xiao Lingchen!

Xiao Lingchen was surprised to find that these Black-Robed Men were indeed as powerful as Jiang Ruochu had previously said, even far surpassing Cultivators of the same level, and they were all at the Crossing Tribulation Ninth Level of cultivation!

This meant that their strength far exceeded the Crossing Tribulation Ninth Level!

Even Xiao Lingchen, facing them, was momentarily locked in a fierce battle, unable to gain an advantage!

Under the suppression of numbers, even Xiao Lingchen was subtly falling behind.

Fortunately, at this moment, Zhu Qiqi also made her move.

"I'll help you!"

Zhu Qiqi flung out the Burial Flower Silk from her sleeve, immediately dividing the battlefield and engaging several Black-Robed Men, which greatly reduced the pressure on Xiao Lingchen.

For a time, the two fought together, the battle so intense it shattered mountains and split the earth!

Qing Yu, watching from afar, smiled faintly.

"Keep fighting."

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Saying that, Qing Yu leaped and flew towards the stone pillar.

Xiao Lingchen naturally saw this scene and immediately charged towards Qing Yu.

But the Black-Robed Men also attacked, blocking Xiao Lingchen and engaging him in battle!

At this moment, Qing Yu arrived unimpeded before the stone pillar.

She even took out an earth bead and placed it into the groove in the Phoenix statue's beak on the stone pillar.

Instantly, the two earth beads simultaneously emitted brilliant light.

The Dragon's roar and Phoenix's cry once again resonated through the sky, then transformed into two streaks of light and flew into the heavens.

The same anomaly as before reappeared; the Dragon and Phoenix intertwined and merged in the high sky, and countless colorful rain poured down like a waterfall.

Amidst the earth-shaking, the colossal structure suddenly rose from the ground, carrying a sky full of dust directly into the heavens!

Then, the gate of the structure swung open with a roar.

Qing Yu provocatively glanced at Xiao Lingchen, who was still struggling in battle, and chuckled,

"You two can slowly play here."

"I won't be accompanying you."

With that, Qing Yu walked into the Dao field.

Xiao Lingchen and Zhu Qiqi, seeing this, immediately grew anxious!

"Stop!"

Xiao Lingchen immediately used Instantaneous Movement to chase after Qing Yu!

But before he could flash, he was pulled back by the Black-Robed Men again!

Xiao Lingchen, being tightly entangled, also lost all patience.

At this moment, the Yin and Yang poles behind him suddenly materialized, and his combat power also surged to its extreme.

He fiercely swept out with several sword strikes.

Although most of his attacks were blocked or dodged, he ultimately cut off the head of one of the Black-Robed Men!

Instantly, that Black-Robed Man's body was separated from his head, turning into a puff of black smoke that dissipated from this world.
