Chapter 486: Home
Qin Ziling took the letter, glanced at it, and his face darkened. He said in a cold voice: "What a big tone!"
“Although the thirty-six fairy islands overseas were nominally conferred by King Zhu Run, they are still overseas after all. As long as the tribute is paid in sufficient quantity every five years, King Zhu Run will not bother to control them in detail.
Therefore, among these overseas islands, the ones that are truly in charge are the three immortal islands: Blood Cloud Island, Floating Island, and Nanli Island, which are also called the Upper Three Islands and are ruled by true immortals.
Although they were not allowed to annex the fairy islands appointed by King Zhu Run due to the rules of the king, they were actually the uncrowned kings overseas and no one dared to easily go against their will.
The location of Qingyun Fairy Island is closer to the Floating Island, which is considered the sphere of influence of the Floating Island. Generally speaking, Xueyun Fairy Island cannot make decisions about Qingyun Fairy Island.
However, they used the excuse that two earthly guardians were killed two months ago and we happened to pass through that sea area, making us a major suspect, and asked us to go there for investigation and questioning, so the Floating Island could not come forward.
After all, on the surface, our thirty-six fairy islands have no affiliation, and the Blood Cloud Fairy Island is powerful. If it does not involve our fundamental interests, the Floating Island will definitely not want to conflict with them. "Qu Zhong explained helplessly.
"Do you mean we really have to go?" Qin Ziling frowned when he heard that.
"Mr. Qin and the island master definitely cannot go, so I will go alone. This way, I can give an explanation to Tu Liao. As long as I refuse to admit it, he will have no choice. At most, he will kill me to vent his anger, but he will no longer have an excuse to attack my Qingyun Fairy Island." Qu Zhong replied.
"No!" Qin Ziling rejected it flatly, stood up, and paced in the courtyard, touching his chin.
"Mr. Qin, I know you are a man who values friendship and loyalty, but for the sake of Qingyun Fairy Island and the island owner, this is the best choice. Moreover, Mr. Qin is with the island owner and Qingyun Fairy Island, so I am relieved whether he lives or dies on this trip." Qu Zhong quickly stood up and followed Qin Ziling closely to persuade him.
"You don't have to say more about this. I won't agree." Qin Ziling stamped his feet.
"But over on Blood Cloud Island..." Qu Zhong felt both moved and anxious when he saw that Qin Ziling was determined not to sacrifice himself.
"Tu Liao is Tu Liao, and Xueyun Island is Xueyun Island. If Patriarch Xueyun does not come out, it will be a foolish dream for Tu Liao to attack our Qingyun Fairy Island. I think that as a true immortal, Patriarch Xueyun should not attack Qingyun Fairy Island easily, whether for the sake of face or the balance of forces from all sides!" Qin Ziling said in a deep voice, emitting a powerful domineering and self-confidence.
His strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently. Even if he faces a True Immortal, he is confident that he can still escape. Moreover, he has now accidentally discovered the secret of the fragments of the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover". If he is really forced to risk it, even a True Immortal will be refined by him!
"Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" is the name Qin Ziling gave himself.
Of course, Qin Ziling would not release the fragments of the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" unless it was absolutely necessary.
Once this incomplete magic weapon is used to refine the True Immortal, the amount of soul required will be much more than the last time it was refined. Even if his soul is not sucked dry, it will definitely be seriously injured.
Moreover, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Once such a powerful magic weapon as the fragments of the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" is released and refined by a true immortal, I am afraid that all the true immortals in the Pingyu Mountain blessed land will be alarmed and will most likely come to hunt him down.
Therefore, Qin Ziling would definitely not release the fragment unless it was in a desperate situation.
But with that fragment, Qin Ziling now at least has the confidence to face the True Immortal.
“Old Ancestor Xueyun will definitely not take action himself. First, he is proud of his status. Second, Qingyun Fairy Island is the fairy island appointed by the Great King. It is fine for his subordinates to attack it, but if he attacks it himself, it would be a provocation to the Great King. Third, Qingyun Fairy Island is close to Floating Island. If Old Ancestor Xueyun attacks it personally, it would also be a provocation to Old Ancestor Fukong.
After all, the dead were only two ordinary earthly guardians, and there was no evidence, just some clues. Tu Liao's attack was excessive, so why would the Blood Cloud Ancestor take action? Unless the dead were Tu Liao or other important figures of Blood Cloud Island. "Qu Zhong saw the powerful domineering and self-confidence emanating from Qin Ziling, and his heart was shocked, and he said solemnly.
"In that case, as long as we don't kill Tu Liao, this matter will be dragged on!" Qin Ziling touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
What he lacks most now is time.
As long as he is given enough time, his martial arts will break through to the late stage of rebirth, and he can start to consider overcoming the calamity of the immortal infant or even the calamity of the immortal.
After all, Pingyu Mountain is a blessed land for cultivating immortals, with many powerful people, so naturally there are many records on various aspects of cultivation.
Qin Ziling only knew before that after the manifestation of divine soul there would be thunder tribulation, and after thunder tribulation there would be celestial being.
Now I know that the soul has to go through ten heavenly tribulations. After going through the first heavenly tribulation, it reaches the realm of thunder tribulation, also known as immortal.
One who survives one heavenly tribulation becomes a first-grade immortal, one who survives nine times becomes a ninth-grade immortal, and only one who survives the tenth time can be called a celestial immortal.
Once Qin Ziling's martial arts breaks through to the late stage of rebirth and overcomes the calamity of the immortal infant, he will truly possess the combat power to compete with the true immortals.
And once he gets through his first immortal calamity, his pure yang power will surely increase greatly. Then he will have the confidence to sacrifice the fragments and refine the true immortal.
When Qu Zhong saw Qin Ziling actually say "as long as Tu Liao is not killed", he was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover.
That's Tu Liao, an earth immortal in the late stage of the Immortal Infant. Looking at the thirty-six immortal islands overseas, he is definitely a first-rate strongman below the True Immortals. Except for the True Immortals and a few of the top earth immortals, who dares to kill him?
"This, this, could it be that Mr. Qin has killed Tu Liao..." After a long time, Qu Zhong carefully asked for confirmation.
“Since we haven’t fought Tu Liao before, it’s hard to jump to conclusions. But if Tu Liao attacks our Qingyun Fairy Island, we have the advantage of terrain, so it shouldn’t be a problem for us to kill Tu Liao.
It's just a pity that Tu Liao has the Blood Cloud Ancestor behind him. Killing him now will definitely attract the Blood Cloud Ancestor, so for the time being, we can only refuse him entry and wait until the time is right to kill him later. "Qin Ziling replied with a firm face.
"Geographical advantage?" Qu Zhong was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Qin should be referring to the island protection formation, right? Mr. Qin may have overestimated the power of our island protection formation."
"What do you think of the Five Elements Mountain Cave now?" Qin Ziling pointed to the five mountains surrounding the Sun and Moon Lake and asked with a smile.
The Five Elements Mountain Cave and the Sun and Moon Lake were renamed by Qin Ziling himself and he had already informed Qu Zhong.
"This cave house in the Five Elements Mountain has been rearranged by Mr. Qin. It is now full of immortal spirits. It is very different from before. It is even comparable to the main peak, Qingcang Peak." Qu Zhong said with admiration. At this point, Qu Zhong seemed to suddenly think of something. His body trembled slightly, and he looked at Qin Ziling with a look of surprise: "Could it be..."
"That's right!" Qin Ziling nodded at Qu Zhong.
As soon as Qin Ziling finished speaking, five rays of light of different colors shot up into the sky from the five peaks of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Five rays of light revealed the current state of the mountain. When combined together, they formed a huge mountain with five peaks, falling towards Qu Zhong from afar.
Before the Five Finger Mountain actually fell, Qu Zhong felt an extremely strong invisible pressure, as if the five peaks had really merged together and were pressing down on him.
Qu Zhong had no doubt that if this mountain really fell on him, he would be turned into meat paste!
Qu Zhong showed a look of horror, and the immortal power in his body began to circulate quickly.
Qin Ziling just smiled when he saw this, and the Five Finger Mountain turned into five rays of light, which sank into the mountain and disappeared.
"Mr. Qin is truly an expert. If we have such a powerful formation to protect the island, and we hold our ground, what can Tu Liao do to us? But Tu Liao has only given us a seven-day deadline. If he delays for a few more days, I'm afraid he will come to call for punishment in ten days at most. In just ten days, I wonder if Mr. Qin will have time to set up the formation? If not, we can only retreat to Mr. Qin's cave residence in the Five Elements Mountain." Qu Zhong was stunned for a long time when he saw this, before he came to his senses and spoke.
"Ten days are enough!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
"In that case, thank you very much, sir!" Qu Zhong was overjoyed upon hearing this and bowed deeply to Qin Ziling.
"I am going to set up a killing formation, called the Seven Killing Sword Formation. Qingcang Peak and the six peaks connected to it together make up exactly seven peaks, which fits the meaning of Seven Killings.
This formation requires seven immortal flying swords as the magic weapon to support the formation. However, there is no way to find all seven immortal flying swords in a short time, so we can only temporarily use seven top-grade Xuanbao flying swords as a substitute. I think it should be enough to deal with the immortals in the late stage of the infant immortal.
In addition, seven more people are needed to guard the seven peaks. You, Yu Shibin, Weng Yue, Duan Yiqing, Zhuang Zhonglin, Yan Qimao and Tan Huiping make up a total of seven people. You can guard the seven peaks and control the Seven Killing Sword Formation. "Qin Ziling said.
He had been in Qingyun Fairy Island for many days. In his spare time, he had already used his soul to explore the five elements of the Qingcang Peak and the six connected mountains, and had also privately thought about how to arrange the large formation.
However, his focus was on the cave and cultivation in the Five Elements Mountain, and he had not yet found the energy to arrange the seven peaks including Qingcang Peak. He originally wanted to delay it for a while, but Tu Liao came to kill him, so he had to start the arrangements in advance.
As for the Yu Shibin and the other six he mentioned, they were none other than the six loyal Jindan cultivators.
Although these six people are only Jindan cultivators, they have been entrusted with the position of guardian, and each of them has a mountain as their personal cave for practice.
"With the resources of Qingyun Fairy Island, it is indeed impossible to find all seven immortal artifacts now, but we can still gather seven top-grade Xuanbao flying swords. Yu Shibin and the other six are all loyal and reliable. If the seven of us can control the formation, we don't have to worry about any accidents." Qu Zhong said happily when he heard this.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded, thought for a moment, took out a medium-sized Wuchen Immortal Pill, handed it to Qu Zhong, and said, "I see that your cultivation has improved a lot during this period, and you are not far from the middle stage of the Immortal Infant. This pill should be able to help you break through to the middle stage of the Immortal Infant in one fell swoop."
Qu Zhong looked at the Dustless Immortal Pill that Qin Ziling handed over, and he could n't long time. After a long time, he knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, sir!"
"I got this pill by accident. You must not let the news leak out." Qin Ziling warned .
"I understand. I won't dare to reveal a single word." Qu Zhong said.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded and said, "I will take people to Qingcang Peak to set up the Seven Killing Sword Formation today."
…
Nine days later, Xueming Island, Elder Hall.
Tu Liao sat high on the throne, his black hair flying back, the flesh on his face trembling from time to time, and he exuded a murderous aura.
"I have given Qu Zhong and his friends two more days, but they haven't come to Xueming Island yet. No wonder I razed Qingyun Island to the ground and robbed their treasure house!" Tu Liao said.
“Hehehe, although Qingyun Fairy Island is small, it is still full of fairy spirit. There are many good things on it!” said an earth fairy in the early stage of fairy infant with greed in his eyes.
"Hehe, I'm worried that Qu Zhong and the others will come to our door obediently. Then we will have no excuse to go to Qingyun Fairy Island to burn, kill and loot." Another earthly immortal guardian said.
"Speaking of which, it has been a while since I last took action. Now it seems that many people have forgotten my reputation as the 'Bloody Butcher'. Even the guardian of Qingyun Fairy Island and the island master who has not even grown all his hair dare not obey my orders! If I had not razed Qingyun Fairy Island to the ground this time, where would my reputation be?" Tu Liao slowly stood up and said with a fierce look in his eyes.
All the guardians in the hall were excited upon seeing this.
Soon, Tu Liao selected five earthly immortal guardians, and thirty Jindan cultivators boarded a flying boat and flew away.
Among these five earthly immortal guardians, there is one in the middle stage of Immortal Infant, four in the early stage of Immortal Infant, and among the thirty Golden Core cultivators, most are in the middle and late stage of Golden Core.
…
On the top of Qingcang Peak, above Cangyun Palace.
Qin Ziling, Qu Zhong and Lian Changfeng stood in the air, gazing into the distance, with several Jindan monks in armor standing behind them.
A huge flying boat came breaking through the air against the wind.
"Who are you? This is the important place of our Qingyun Fairy Island. Stop immediately!" Qu Zhong shouted loudly.
"How dare you! This is Lord Tu Liao, the third elder of my Blood Cloud Island. Why don't you come out quickly and kneel down to greet him!" A tall and burly man stood at the bow and shouted sternly. A powerful aura burst out from him, revealing the shadow of a huge white ape holding a mace, grinning with white teeth, and fierce light in his eyes, as if he was ready to devour someone.
This man was actually an ape demon, and he was the middle-stage immortal infant among the five immortal guardians who came with Tu Liao on this trip.
While the ape demon's voice was still echoing in the air, the white ape shadow had already swung the huge mace in its hand and smashed it towards Qu Zhong and the others from a distance.
Suddenly, the sky and the earth were in turmoil, and the air was swept wildly to both sides, blowing away countless clouds.
A terrifying aura came like a tidal wave, and a huge shadow covered the sky, as if this huge mace could blow the entire mountain and the Cang Yun Palace on it into pieces if it smashed down.
Below, the people from the Qingyun Fairy Island's Island Lord's Mansion all showed fear on their faces when they saw this.
"How dare you! Qingyun Fairy Island is the fairy island canonized by the king. How dare you, from Xueyun Island, attack Qingyun Fairy Island without any reason? Are you trying to rebel?" Qu Zhong was not afraid at all and shouted angrily.
As he shouted angrily, a silver light shot up from his body into the sky and transformed into a huge silver dragon.
The huge dragon body is covered with crystal scales, which looks lifelike and exudes an extremely cold air.
It was Qu Zhong’s Ice Chi Sword.
The Ice Chi Sword transformed into a Chi dragon and rushed into the sky towards the huge mace, violently swinging its huge tail.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Chilong and the mace collided in the air, and for a moment it was difficult to tell which was the better.
The people below secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
When Tu Liao saw that the ape demon was unable to defeat Qu Zhong, his face darkened and he waved his hand.
The ape demon retracted his mace, and the flying boat hovered in the air, facing Qin Ziling and others who were standing in the air above the Cangyun Palace.
"You should be Qu Zhong, right? It turns out you are already in the middle stage of Immortal Infant!" Tu Liao walked forward, stood proudly facing the wind, looked at Qu Zhong with eyes as sharp as knives and asked.
"Yes, it is me!" Qu Zhong replied.
"You should be the so-called master who helped to quell the rebellion in Qingyun Fairy Island?" Tu Liao ignored Qu Zhong's answer, but turned his gaze to Qin Ziling and asked with a hint of disdain and sarcasm.
"I don't deserve the title of master from the Third Elder!" Qin Ziling bowed slightly, looking humble and polite.
"You don't deserve it?" Tu Liao smiled coldly and said, "This Immortal thinks you are very daring! Otherwise, how dare you disobey this Immortal's orders and delay coming to Xueming Island to accept the investigation and questioning?"
"It's ridiculous what the Third Elder said!" Qin Ziling said.
"How dare you!" The five earthly immortal guardians behind Tu Liao shouted angrily upon hearing this. The immortal power surged in their bodies and rays of precious light rushed out.
Tu Liao waved his hand behind him and said with a joking look in his eyes: "How is this ridiculous?"
"Qingyun Fairy Island is the fairy island appointed by the king and only obeys the king's orders. I don't know where you get the courage from, Third Elder, to actually order our island master and me and the protector Qu Zhong to go to Xueming Island to be investigated and questioned? Could it be that the Third Elder compares himself to the king? Could it be that you, the Xueyun Island, want to rebel? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Qin Ziling asked with a smile.
"Haha! Good! Good! You killed the guardian of my Blood Cloud Island, but you turned around and attacked me. It seems that if I don't kill a few people today, you will think that my Blood Cloud Island is easy to bully!" Tu Liao laughed in anger when he heard this and raised his hand.
Suddenly, a bloody palm appeared in the sky.
Blood waves can be seen surging on the bloody palm, exuding a strong smell of blood and killing.
Seeing Tu Liao using the bloody handprint to grab him by the head, Qin Ziling felt a surge of murderous intent in his heart, but he suppressed it and waved his hand.
Qin Ziling waved his hand, and a command flag appeared in Qu Zhong's hand. He raised his hand and made a magic gesture, and the command flag unfolded and pointed towards Qingcang Peak below.
Suddenly, a thick green light shot up into the sky.
The green light transformed into a man in a red robe, with a huge dragon turtle shadow circling behind him, looking majestic and ferocious.
The man took a step forward, and the shadow of a dragon turtle behind him flew out into the air.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
The bloody handprint pressed heavily on the thick and huge turtle back. The dragon turtle sank slightly and held up the bloody handprint. Then dragon claws stretched out, and each of the five claws was as sharp as a sword, grabbing at the bloody handprint.
