22: Chapter 22 Hmph, he still knows a bit of trash talk.

"Boom."

Just then, a brilliant divine light erupted in the sky, causing the entire Incense Burning Immortal Valley to tremble slightly. A figure flashed near Linglong Peak, and a White-haired Old Woman appeared.

A terrifying pressure, like the descent of heavenly might, descended.

"Such might, it's the Great Power Realm." Li Qing was startled inwardly.

"Greetings, Grand Elder." Seeing who had arrived, Luo Qiongyan hurriedly bowed.

"Qiongyan, bring the Taiyi Immortal Sect Saint, Li Qing, and come with me." The White-haired Old Woman looked at the two of them indifferently.

[Damn, the outcome was decided so quickly.]

[The old fogey from the Sect is impressive.]

"Grand Elder..."

"No need to say more. This matter is your fault." The White-haired Old Woman's expression darkened slightly.

Hmph, what do you mean it's my fault? It's just that you couldn't beat them.

Luo Qiongyan bit her lip lightly.

What should I do? I was just one step away.

If I had known, I wouldn't have accompanied him to watch that commotion.

I feel so bad that he missed out on important business.

"Ahem, Li Qing greets you, Senior."

"Speaking of this matter, it really is Elder Luo's fault. How could she do something like forcibly snatching a handsome man? It's too much."

"My innocence is ruined."

"Which woman would dare to like me in the future? Please, Senior, uphold justice for this Junior."

Li Qing looked at the White-haired Old Woman with an aggrieved expression.

"You talk too much." The White-haired Old Woman glared, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky. Li Qing stumbled, and if not for Luo Qiongyan supporting him, he would have almost knelt on the ground.

[Damn it, you old hag, just you wait for This Young Master.]

"Grand Elder, my husband has a straightforward personality and misspoke. Please don't be angry." Luo Qiongyan immediately pleaded with the White-haired Old Woman.

Upon hearing this, the White-haired Old Woman looked Luo Qiongyan up and down before dispersing the pressure.

[Damn, I just talked about her like that, and she's actually pleading for me?]

[Could it be that she really has fallen for me?]

[Although this woman is very beautiful, extremely beautiful, she is the female protagonist. These female protagonists are all troublemakers, and I don't want to be entangled in trouble.]

[No, I have to make her give up.]

[Although I'm not very good at being a scumbag, I still know a thing or two about scumbag talk.]

[Sorry, my good wife.]

"Elder Luo, why are you still holding my hand? How much longer do you want to take advantage of me? Let go!" Li Qing looked at Luo Qiongyan with an angry expression.

[I have to say, this Luo Qiongyan is truly beautiful, her skin is good, and her little hand is so smooth and tender.]

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiongyan was furious.

You rascal Li Qing, if it weren't for the fact that I can hear your inner voice, I would have really been fooled by you.

While calling me wife to take advantage of me, you are also saying things that show your disdain for me. You are truly something.

You think I'm a troublemaker, right? Then I'll just stick to you. I'll annoy you to death.

"But I like you. I like you so much, really like you." Luo Qiongyan's eyes filled with tears, looking as if she were about to weep.

[Cut the crap. We've only known each other for a few days. Do you even believe that yourself?]

[You're putting on a show for me.]

Li Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Are you done crying? If you're done, let go of my hand." Li Qing looked impatient.

[How is it? My scumbag talk isn't bad, right?]

You rascal Li Qing.

You're bullying me like this, huh?

"I won't." Luo Qiongyan looked stubborn.

"Ahem."

The White-haired Old Woman really couldn't watch anymore.

Are you two flirting here?

Have you considered my feelings?

Can a single dog of several hundred years like me stand this?

"Sort out your own business yourselves." The White-haired Old Woman waved her large sleeve, and Li Qing felt the world spinning, only to find himself outside the Sect of the Incense Burning Immortal Valley.

"Junior Brother..."

"Senior Brother..."

The voices of Feng Yuheng and Mu Qiuxue rang out in the sky.

Li Qing then realized that the area was crowded with people. Not far opposite, a group of high-ranking members of the Taiyi Immortal Sect were hovering, led by an old man in green robes with white hair and beard.

A faint pressure radiated from him, as if it were heavenly might.

"The person has been brought out," the White-haired Old Woman said indifferently.

"Swish."

Just then, the old man in green robes waved his sleeve, and the batch of betrothal gifts from Luo Qiongyan appeared.

"Returning these items to your Incense Burning Immortal Valley."

"Li Qing, let's go."

The old man in green robes said indifferently.

"Yes, Grand Elder." Li Qing nodded slightly.

However, every time he tried to pull his hand away, Luo Qiongyan held it firmly.

"Elder Luo, it's time to let go," Li Qing reminded her.

Let go?

"The man of mine, Luo Qiongyan, cannot be taken away even if the Heavenly King himself comes." Luo Qiongyan looked at the old man in green robes with a disdainful gaze.

[It's over, it's over, this woman has gone crazy. That is the Grand Elder of our Sect, a Great Power Realm expert.]

[You are just a wisp of a soul, not the Devil Emperor Linglong.]

"Oh, do you know the consequences of disrespecting me?" The old man in green robes stared coldly at Luo Qiongyan.

"Old He, Qiongyan just had a slip of the tongue. Why are you bickering with a Junior?" Seeing this, the White-haired Old Woman hurriedly spoke up.

At the same time, she signaled Luo Qiongyan with her eyes to let go.

"Supreme Elder He Tianque, right? You have cultivated for hundreds of years, yet you remain stuck in the Great Power Realm, and the Immortal Platform is nowhere in sight. You are nothing but trash." Luo Qiongyan never fails to shock with her words.

"Junior, you are courting death."

These words struck the old man in green robes right in his sore spot—a very painful one.

"Taiyi Returning Immortal Finger."

The next moment, a brilliant divine light erupted from the old man in green robes' body, and a slender finger beam pierced through the Void Realm, aiming directly at Luo Qiongyan.

"Not good."

Seeing this, the White-haired Old Woman was shocked and struck out a golden palm print to block it, but it was pierced through by the finger beam in one strike.

[Holy crap, this old guy has killing intent.]

[It's over, it's over. I just wanted to leave, I didn't want this woman to die.]

[Why did you have to provoke him?]

"Rest assured, even if I die, I won't let them take you away." Luo Qiongyan held Li Qing's hand tightly.

[Luo Qiongyan, are you sick?]

[I'm just returning to the Sect, it's not a life-or-death separation. It's not like we won't see each other again. Why are you doing this?]

"I am an Emperor, you know that."

"The dignity of an Emperor cannot be insulted."

Suddenly, Luo Qiongyan's voice sounded in Li Qing's heart.

Sound transmission?

Li Qing was stunned.

"Morning like black silk, evening turning to snow." Luo Qiongyan smiled charmingly at Li Qing, and her black hair turned snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ten Thousand Daos return to one."

Luo Qiongyan stretched out her jade hand, grasped the finger beam, and crushed it until it exploded.

"Pfft."

The old man in green robes' face instantly turned crimson, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"What?"

This scene left everyone completely stunned.

"How is this possible?"

"Injuring a Great Power Realm expert in one strike."

Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"This is impossible."

The White-haired Old Woman's eyes revealed shock.

Just a moment ago, she felt a heart-palpitating power from Luo Qiongyan, infinitely close to the Half-step Immortal Platform.

Such power appearing on someone in the King Sealing Realm is simply unimaginable.

"After I die, my husband will naturally return to the Taiyi Immortal Sect."

Luo Qiongyan held Li Qing's hand, and with a swirl of spiritual light around her body, the two disappeared from the spot.

"Junior Brother..."

"Senior Brother..."

The cries of Feng Yuheng and Mu Qiuxue rang out in the sky.

"Let's go back. She won't live for more than three days." The old man in green robes sighed lightly and disappeared into the sky.
