336: What kind of immortal was it that was captured?
Qin Feng walked out of the Burial Lord's territory.
No one dared to step forward to stop him along the way.
He deliberately slowed down to wait for Luo Qingxian; otherwise, his speed would have been much faster.

Luo Qingxian had been back in the Burial Grounds for over a year.
The Jiang Family clansmen had been mostly pacified by now.
Today, she was wearing a tight-fitting white long dress.
The dress clung to her body, highlighting her sleek, linear figure.
Her three thousand strands of black hair were coiled behind her head, secured with a jade hairpin, revealing a face like that of a girl from a modest, respectable family.
Judging by her appearance, she looked to be only in her twenties.
One could not say she was like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without adornment.
Yet, she could certainly be considered a beautiful woman.
The countenances of cultivators can be frozen in time.
"Young Master Qin, are you coming out alone this time?"
Luo Qingxian caught up to Qin Feng and asked a somewhat inexplicable question.
"Yes!"
"The matter is a bit urgent, so I didn't bring them along."
Qin Feng said with a slight smile, hiding nothing.
"By the way, Fairy Luo, you don't need to call me 'Young Master' anymore."
"Just call me Xiao Feng."
"Ling'er and I are already together, and there are no outsiders here."
Qin Feng paused for a moment before speaking.
Always being called Young Master Qin felt a bit distant.
"Xiao... Xiao Feng!"
Luo Qingxian tried calling him that, her voice stuttering slightly.
Immediately, Luo Qingxian felt even more uncomfortable calling him that.
But as Qin Feng said, they were family now.
Sooner or later, she would have to change how she addressed him.
"Mm!"
Qin Feng nodded and continued heading into the depths of the Burial Grounds.
Luo Qingxian walked alongside him.
This journey was neither particularly far nor particularly close.
At the very least, it would take half a day.
Moreover, the deeper they went, the fewer tribes they saw.
Everywhere was filled with desolate, massive mountains.
Vitality was also becoming increasingly faint.
"Xiao Feng, is... is there really an immortal?"
Five hours later, Luo Qingxian couldn't help but voice her doubts.
The desolate aura combined with the gloomy sky made her feel oppressed.
Who would run to a place like this for no reason?
"There definitely is!"
"And it's a Quasi-Immortal who surpasses the Heavenly Emperor."
Qin Feng said with a look of absolute certainty.
Luo Qingxian: "How do you know?"
She became even more puzzled.
A Quasi-Immortal who surpassed the Heavenly Emperor—wouldn't that mean they could sweep away everything?
Moreover, seeing how certain Qin Feng was, it didn't seem like he was boasting.
"I... I have the ability of deduction."
"I can sense certain crises in advance."
Qin Feng's eyes darted around as he spoke nonsense.
He used the same set of lies he used on Hui Lan to fool Luo Qingxian.
It was impossible for Qin Feng to reveal anything about the System.
"Uh...!"
"I don't believe a word of that."
Luo Qingxian rolled her eyes, not believing Qin Feng's story at all.
She was, after all, someone who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Naturally, she wouldn't be so easily deceived.
However, since Qin Feng didn't want to say, she wouldn't press him for details.
But while flying through the air, she tried to stay as close to Qin Feng as possible.
This desolate aura was too oppressive.
By being near Qin Feng, that oppressive feeling disappeared.
It was very mysterious!
Perhaps this was the sense of security that came from a powerful expert!
Half a day later.
Qin Feng and Luo Qingxian arrived at the edge of the Burial Grounds.
Here, the aura became even more ancient, and everything around them was deathly silent.
A mountain range, resembling a giant dragon, isolated the Burial Grounds.
The mountain range undulated continuously, its length unknown.
The mountains were majestic, and waves of gravity descended from the sky.
Ordinary Quasi-Emperors wouldn't even be able to reach the summit.
Fortunately, both Qin Feng and Luo Qingxian were in the Great Emperor Realm, so they naturally wouldn't be crushed by this bit of gravity.
Swoosh, swoosh...!
The two of them flew upward simultaneously, pushing through the pressure to reach the Peak of the mountain range.
The area here was very flat, like a natural Dao Arena.
From time to time, streaks of astral winds would whistle past.
The astral winds were sharp; any single one of them could slice through the Void Realm.
Even Qin Feng frowned slightly upon seeing this.
"What sharp winds!"
After glancing around, Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
Luo Qingxian was also scanning the surroundings.
Although she lived in the Burial Grounds, she had never been to this place before.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Suddenly, several chaotic astral winds slashed toward Luo Qingxian.
Luo Qingxian quickly dodged, avoiding the sharp winds.
Sizzle, sizzle...!
Even though she was a Great Emperor, her shoulder was still grazed by one of the astral winds.
Immediately, droplets of bright red blood seeped from her shoulder.
Even experts of the Great Emperor Realm could bleed.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing this, Qin Feng rushed forward to support her, while simultaneously blocking the astral winds behind them, saying:
"Be careful, these aren't ordinary winds."
"They can even cut through space; their power is startling."
After saying that, Qin Feng looked at Luo Qingxian's shoulder.
A shallow scratch was still oozing blood.
There was also a strange aura lingering on the wound.
"I'm... I'm fine!"
Luo Qingxian released her Spiritual Qi, and the wound healed quickly.
However, her long dress had been torn.
She hurriedly raised her right hand to pull the torn fabric back into place.
Ahem...!
Qin Feng coughed dryly, withdrew his gaze, and retracted his hand at the same time.
Just now, he was acting out of emergency avoidance.
No, it was an emergency rescue; he hadn't considered much else.
In his haste, he had directly put his arm around Luo Qingxian.
"Damn it...!"
"This wretched hand!"
Qin Feng turned his back and shook his hand, cursing inwardly.
"System, where is the Six-Winged Angel?"
Then, Qin Feng asked the System in his mind.
"Host, you arrived early; you still have to wait a bit."
"If she were released now, she could finish you with a single look."
"Wait patiently for now; her strength is being depleted first."
The System gave its reply.
Immediately, the corners of Qin Feng's mouth began to twitch.
This was too speechless.
He had actually arrived early.
"Xiao Feng, where is the immortal you mentioned?"
Luo Qingxian steadied herself and asked again.
Ahem...!
"They haven't arrived yet! We have to wait a bit longer."
Qin Feng coughed dryly to ease the previous embarrassment and replied.
"Oh...!"
Luo Qingxian gave a light 'oh', acting quite naturally.
She didn't take Qin Feng's emergency rescue just now to heart.
After all, extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures.
However, she was starting to have doubts about the immortal Qin Feng spoke of.
Where was there any immortal here?
There were only the merciless astral winds and the vast, flat Dao Arena.
Well, there was a Luo Qingxian.
"Wait, could the 'catching an immortal' Xiao Feng mentioned be me?"
"After all, my name is Qingxian, which means 'toppling an immortal'."
Suddenly, Luo Qingxian seemed to think of something and muttered to herself.
For a moment, she became a bit uneasy.
"No, if he wanted to catch me, there would be no need to bring me so far away!"
"Could it be... he was afraid of being discovered by the other female emperors, so he used deception to bring me here?"
Luo Qingxian's mental activity became increasingly strange.
Her self-deduced reasoning was actually quite methodical and orderly.
"Xiao Feng, how long do we have to wait?"
Luo Qingxian raised her head, looked at Qin Feng, and asked.
She wanted to see if Qin Feng could give an accurate time.
If he was still vague, then there was definitely a problem.
"This...!"
"This... I'm not sure either, but it should be a few days!"
"Her strength is still being depleted!"
"Once her strength is weakened, and she's released, I'll catch her then."
