869: Pretentious criminal Huntian Sword Master

Gu Qing's expression darkened: "Are you truly He Ni's disciple?"

"Yes, this junior is a registered disciple taken in by my master." Leng Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and replied respectfully.

No killing intent was revealed, so it seemed to be a fellow Daoist of her master.

Gu Qing nodded slightly: "Then why doesn't the sect have a cave abode for He Ni?"

Leng Qingyun was startled, then replied: "The Great Thousand Sword Sect was founded by this junior; after my master imparted the Dao methods, she left."

"Do you know where she is? Is there any way to contact her?"

"..."

Leng Qingyun's expression changed slightly, and she shook her head, indicating that she didn't know and had no way to contact He Ni.

"Don't be nervous. I am He Ni's Dao Companion. In a way, you are also my disciples."

Noticing everyone's fear, Gu Qing said with a softened expression.

"???"

Upon hearing this, the women's eyes widened.

"Is it that strange?"

Gu Qing smiled and retorted.

Everyone nodded.

He Ni was aloof and ethereal; even her disciple hadn't spoken many words with He Ni.

When a man suddenly came and claimed to be He Ni's Dao Companion, how could they not be shocked?

They even suspected Gu Qing was deliberately deceiving them.

The purpose was to lure He Ni out.

Thinking of this, the women became even more afraid.

"She doesn't have a Dao Companion, so how did Yan'er come about?"

Seeing that no one believed him, Gu Qing retorted in exasperation.

"Senior, you misunderstand; we are not disbelieving," Leng Qingyun said.

However, inwardly she was thinking, who stipulated that without a man, a woman couldn't get pregnant?

"If you believed me, then why would you still call me Senior?" Gu Qing said faintly.

Leng Qingyun's face paled slightly, and she cupped her fists in salute: "Qingyun greets Martial Uncle."

"Mm!"

Gu Qing hummed in acknowledgment, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura pursuing him.

He tossed her a drop of Dao Blood and his communication jade slip: "If there's any news of He Ni or Yan'er, crush the jade slip immediately."

With that, Gu Qing and Youmeng left the Great Thousand Sword Sect and headed towards the boundless void.

"Dao... Dao Blood!!!"

"And it's Dao Lord-level Dao Blood containing the power of space."

Leng Qingyun's hands trembled as she held the Dao Blood, her beautiful eyes wide and round.

Although the Dao Blood was sealed, the faint power it emanated made the laws of heaven and earth tremble, as if the heavens and earth could not bear the power leaking from the Dao Blood.

The Dao Blood was like a treasure, emitting a crimson glow, with layers of invisible spatial power rippling like water.

"Gulp!"

The women swallowed, and one of them stammered, "Sect Leader, perhaps we truly misunderstood; our Ancestor truly has a Dao Companion."

"I think so too. Look how handsome and noble Martial Uncle is; it's inevitable that our Ancestor's heart would be captured."

"Then... then we were wrong..." She didn't voice the rest of her thoughts, but anyone who wasn't a fool could guess her meaning.

That was, due to their caution, they had missed a great fortune and an opportunity to cling to Martial Uncle's leg.

Casually bestowing Dao Lord-level Dao Blood indicated that Gu Qing's cultivation was at least that of a very high-level Dao Lord.

A bolder guess would be that he might even be a Dao Master.

After all, only a Dao Master would not value Dao Lord-level Dao Blood.

Thinking of this, the women looked annoyed, their hearts frantic.

"Sect Leader, can you contact the Ancestor?" The Grand Elder asked cautiously.

"No."

Leng Qingyun said immediately without thinking.

She put away the Dao Blood, her eyes coldly sweeping over everyone, and said in a cold voice: "I know what you're thinking, but I truly have no way to contact the Ancestor. I am merely a registered disciple taken in casually by my master, completely insignificant."

In fact, she could contact He Ni.

For someone as aloof and introverted as He Ni, if she didn't truly value Leng Qingyun, she wouldn't have taken her as a disciple.

The reason she said this was that Leng Qingyun still didn't quite believe Gu Qing's words.

Moreover, in the Chaos Realm, the strong prey on the weak, and to improve cultivation, parricide and the killing of Dao Companions were not uncommon.

Let alone her uncertainty about whether Gu Qing was He Ni's Dao Companion; even if she was absolutely sure, she wouldn't say.

After all, He Ni had never mentioned Gu Qing to her; presumably, even if their relationship was good, it was limited.

Furthermore, before entering seclusion, He Ni had instructed her not to disturb her unless absolutely necessary.

Under these circumstances, Leng Qingyun would at least wait for He Ni to emerge from seclusion and consult her before contacting Gu Qing.

Instead of foolishly calling He Ni back under unclear circumstances.

It's just... Leng Qingyun looked at the jade slip, her red lips pressed together.

The methods of Dao Lords and Dao Masters were beyond her imagination, and such old monsters would surely possess cunning wisdom.

Could she deceive Gu Qing?

Of course, she couldn't.

Gu Qing saw through her lie at a glance.

The Dao Blood was genuinely intended as a reward for her, while the jade slip was a means to monitor her.

Once he eliminated Hun Tian Swordmaster, he would naturally have a way to make her hand over the magical artifact for contacting He Ni.

In the boundless void, wisps of Chaos Qi permeated the air.

Gu Qing and Youmeng stood side by side, and a spatial passage suddenly appeared in the void before them.

Hun Tian Swordmaster, dressed in snow-white robes, had a tall and slender figure, and his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, seemingly devoid of any emotion.

"Ant, how dare you come... Hm? Who are you?"

Hun Tian Swordmaster noticed Youmeng, and his expression changed slightly.

Youmeng said nothing, holding a Chaotic Spiritual Treasure she had refined, and delivered a blow to him, the blade light streaking across the sky like a bolt of silk, cleaving open this part of the void.

Hun Tian Swordmaster was furious.

He had just broken through to Dao Master not long ago and was filled with pride and confidence.

He had asked politely, yet Youmeng ignored him.

Hun Tian Swordmaster's expression was cold, one hand clasped behind his back, exuding the demeanor of an unparalleled expert.

Looking at the incoming blade of light, he pointed a finger, and a wisp of sword qi erupted from his fingertip.

Although he had just broken through and his realm was not yet stable, he was a Sword Cultivator.

It was well-known that Sword Cultivators were the strongest among all cultivators, specializing in combat.

And indeed, this was true.

He had created countless great sword Dao divine abilities, was invincible among those of the same rank, and even relied on the sharpness of his sword to fight above his rank.

A mere unknown Dao Master, he didn't put her in his eyes.

However, Hun Tian Swordmaster would soon pay the price for his arrogance.

His self-proclaimed invincible sword Dao was cleaved open by the blade light, and the blade light, undiminished in power, split him in two.

His Daoist robe offered no protection whatsoever, like tofu.

"Hiss!"

Gu Qing took a deep breath, looking at Hun Tian Swordmaster as if he were a complete idiot.

It was his first time seeing someone who could act even more arrogantly than a protagonist.

When facing an opponent of the same rank, he still had one hand clasped behind his back, confronting the enemy with a condescending attitude.

And that wisp of sword qi made Gu Qing utterly speechless.

Although that wisp of sword qi contained Hun Tian Swordmaster's terrifying sword Dao divine ability, it carried at least seventy to eighty percent of Hun Tian Swordmaster's strength.

But... he was truly too pretentious.

Even his killing divine ability was so flashy.

Hun Tian Swordmaster couldn't possibly think that what he did was profound, marvelous, and transcendent, could he?

Such a show-off deserved to be cut down.

Gu Qing even wanted to stab him a few times.

"Ah... you ambushed me..."
