Chapter 667: She is not allowed to go to the island!
Over Jinyue Island.
More than a dozen True Immortals, like stars surrounding the moon, surrounded a tall, hunchbacked old man in gorgeous clothes with silver hair and eyes that sparkled with a captivating light.
The old man looked down at the devastated scene on Jinyue Island, his face gradually becoming gloomy, and the light in his eyes became more and more captivating.
When the old man's expression and gaze changed, the wind and clouds above Jinyue Island began to change. Dark clouds were pressing down and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and murderous.
This old man turned out to be a seventh-grade True Immortal.
The True Immortals surrounding the old man noticed the changes in the energy of heaven and earth around them, and all of them showed a look of awe in their eyes.
Chi Rong, the seventh-rank True Immortal, is the only late True Immortal in the Juxian Sea and the Grand Elder of the Juxian Pavilion.
"Pass the order down. All major forces must step up their vigilance, and all law enforcement teams must increase patrols. Also, the elders should not go out unless there are special circumstances. Once there is an emergency message, they must rush to Juxian Pavilion. Also, send someone immediately to find out the whereabouts of Elder Yan ." After a long time, Chi Rong said in a deep voice.
Each of the twelve elders has a special communication talisman on them, which requires a fixed formation to activate. Therefore, as long as Yan Gu is on Jinyue Island, he can activate the communication talisman through the special formation arranged on Jinyue Island, and the other elders will be able to receive it and rush over urgently.
But Chi Rong did not receive the summons, so he concluded that Yan Gu was not on the island at that time.
Of course, it is also possible that Yan Gu was killed before he had time to activate the communication talisman, but Yan Gu was a sixth-grade True Immortal and was protected by the island protection formation. The other party was a seventh-grade True Immortal, so he also had the opportunity to activate the communication talisman.
So, the possibility is very low.
Otherwise, the enemy is simply too powerful!
"yes!"
Several true immortals walked out from behind Chi Rong, bowed and received orders, then left quickly.
Although the Juxian Pavilion does not have a pavilion master, all major matters and rules are decided by the twelve elders. However, as Chi Rong is the only seventh-grade true immortal in the Juxian Sea, his power overrides that of other elders. If he does not speak, it is fine. But once he speaks, it is basically final.
Of course, Chi Rong is already a seventh-rank true immortal, and most of his attention is on cultivation. He rarely intervenes in the affairs of Juxianhai in person. It is always one of his legitimate sons who represents him.
This time, Jinyue Island was destroyed silently, which was a really big deal. Even Chi Rong was alarmed and came here in person.
It's a pity that the four of them were fifth-rank Hades immortal generals. They set up the "Five-Directions Prison-Suppressing Battle Formation" and sealed off Jinyue Island so tightly that not a single word of information leaked out. Afterwards, they looted Jinyue Island and even took away all the corpses. Even if Chi Rong was a seventh-rank true immortal, he couldn't find any clues.
Soon, the news that the entire Jinyue Island had been wiped out and looted spread rapidly throughout the Juxian Sea.
Six days later, a fairy boat appeared in the sky above the sea outside the Xianluo Islands.
"Hey, the security in the Xianluo Islands seems to be much tighter. The last time we came, there were very few people patrolling the waters outside the islands." Qin Ziling said with a hint of surprise on his face.
"You have the nerve to talk about the good things you did yourself." Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling.
"A good deed I did?" Qin Ziling was slightly stunned, then he smiled with relief and said, "I almost forgot about it."
After hearing this, Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling in silence.
What should she say about her man?
"Excuse me, who are you? Do you have a badge?" While Xiao Qing was speechless, a patrol team from Xianluo Island flew up. An earth immortal who looked like a leader bowed politely to Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing and asked.
Qin Ziling is a second-grade true immortal, and the immortal boat he rides on is obviously not an ordinary one, so the patrol soldiers naturally dare not offend him easily.
"Badge?" Qin Ziling was slightly stunned, then he saluted and said, "We don't have a badge, but we are Lei Keyu's friends, and we are here to look for them."
"Since you don't have a badge, you have to wait. We will let you in after we inform the Ninth Young Master." The leader bowed, gave an order, and soon someone left.
"When we came here a few days ago, the security wasn't so strict. How come it has become so strict all of a sudden? With the strength of your Xianluo Island, who would dare to come here to cause trouble?" Qin Ziling asked with a puzzled look on his face. While asking the question, he casually stuffed two mid-grade immortal stones into his hand.
Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling's puzzled face and the way he asked without hesitation, and looked up at the sky in silence.
She just couldn't understand why her man, who was obviously a man of great integrity, could be a little vulgar sometimes, especially when he was with his teacher Jian Bailou, they simply had similar interests.
"You True Immortal, you don't know that a big event happened in our Juxian Sea a few days ago. Someone destroyed Jinyue Island and looted it. It is said that even the alchemy furnace as big as a house was taken away!" The leader was naturally happy to get two mid-grade immortal stones for nothing, and said hurriedly in a mysterious tone.
"No way, isn't the owner of Jinyue Island Yan Gu Zhenxian, one of the twelve elders of Juxian Pavilion? He is a sixth-rank Zhenxian, a powerful figure on par with the city lord of your Xianluo City! And there are powerful protective formations on the island. Who is so powerful and courageous that he dares to destroy Jinyue Island and loot it?" Qin Ziling said in surprise.
Xiao Qing continued to look up at the sky in silence. She was too ashamed to look at this shameless man.
"That's right. That's why the entire Juxian Sea is in a state of panic now!" said the leader.
"I see. We really need to be more careful. Thank you all for your hard work!" Qin Ziling said with a look of relief, and then simply distributed a circle of mid-grade immortal stones to everyone.
Anyway, in the cave world now, let alone the middle-grade immortal stones, even the high-grade immortal stones are piled up like mountains. They were all obtained for free, so it would be nice to give some of them away casually, just as a way to win the hearts of his disciples.
"Thank you, Immortal, for being so polite. Thank you." Everyone thanked him hurriedly while handing over their immortal stones. Everyone was filled with joy, and their eyes were shining when they looked at Qin Ziling, as if they were looking at the God of Wealth.
"Now, even if Young Master Nine doesn't give us anything in return, we all believe that you are Young Master Nine's friend. Young Master Nine is the most generous among the Lei family and treats people like us the best. It's a pity that Young Master Nine..." The leader shook his head repeatedly, sighing with regret.
"Yes, that's what I value about your Ninth Young Master." Qin Ziling said.
"The real immortal is also a good person!"
"Where! Where!"
Xiao Qing became more speechless. If it were possible to perform a magic trick in broad daylight, she would really like to escape directly into the Qiankun Cave Heaven World and let Qin Ziling perform alone.
Lei Keyu's Jiuju Island was just outside the Xianluo Islands. Soon, Lei Keyu and Bi Rong, his wife, came riding against the wind and waves in a bronze chariot.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin." Lei Keyu and his wife got out of the car and bowed politely.
They had already received Qin Ziling's message from a long distance away, asking them not to reveal their master-disciple relationship.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing returned the greeting in a proper manner, then put away the fairy boat and got on the chariot.
"Master, the situation in the Juxian Sea is not peaceful right now. A few days ago, a strong man looted Jinyue Island, so the Xianluo Islands have also stepped up their vigilance." After returning to Jiujuma Island, Lei Keyu and his wife exchanged greetings again, and Lei Keyu said with a serious expression.
"Yes. I already know about this." Qin Ziling nodded, then waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "But Jinyue Island is Jinyue Island, and Xianluo Islands are Xianluo Islands. There is no need to make it so tense."
"Master, the group of people who took action this time are too powerful. It is said that Great Elder Chi Rong has personally visited Jinyue Island. He believes that the overall strength of the group of people should be very close to that of a seventh-grade True Immortal. If they still stay in the Juxian Sea and do not leave, and are preparing to make another move, except for the Chi family, all other forces will be in danger." Lei Keyu said.
"Do you want to move to Xianluo City?" Qin Ziling asked.
“It is not necessary to move to Xianluo City. My disciple’s father is the fourth son of the Lei family. He has good talent and cultivation, and holds a prominent position in the Lei family.
So he not only had his own mansion and many properties in the city, but also owned more than ten islands in the archipelago near the main island.
Those islands are of considerable size, with formations set up on them and a strong spiritual aura. There are mineral veins underground, many medicinal gardens and mountains on the ground, and there are also many common people and servants working for our family.
Originally, the son inherits the father's business. After my father and mother passed away, these territories and properties were to be inherited by the disciples, and in the beginning, it was indeed the disciples who inherited them.
But because I violated the wishes of my family and grandfather, my grandfather was furious and didn't want to see me. He took away my father's mansion and property in Xianluo City and ignored me. But my grandfather didn't say he would take away my father's islands and property outside the main island.
However, many members of the family have long coveted our family property and took the opportunity to escalate the situation and divide up my father's islands and properties outside the main island.
At that time, I was only a first-rank true immortal, and my grandfather was furious and ignored my affairs. The same was true for several uncles. Moreover, those clansmen even deliberately dragged in the children and relatives of several uncles.
Therefore, I had no place to appeal for justice or to fight for it, so I moved with Bi Rong to Jiuju Island, far away from the main island.
Yesterday, one of my grandfather's personal attendants came to Jiuju Island and told me that my grandfather wanted me to return to Xianluo City or to live on an island near the main island."
At this point, Lei Keyu's emotions were obviously a little fluctuating, but he quickly suppressed them and continued, "My disciple and Bi Rong have discussed it and believe that we are both at a critical moment in our cultivation. Living on this outer island, there is no decent protective formation. If there is an enemy attack, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it will affect our cultivation. If we are not careful, there is a danger of going astray. It is indeed more appropriate to move to another place.
Besides, my grandfather has already spoken. My disciple's strength is improving rapidly now. I estimate that I will soon be able to pass the wind and fire tribulation and become a third-grade true immortal. It would be good to take back some of my father's property. However, Master and his wife have not returned yet. It is not appropriate for me and Bi Rong to make decisions on our own. Everything still needs to be decided by Master and his wife."
After saying that, Lei Keyu and Bi Rong looked at Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing with a humble attitude as if they were listening to the teachings of their elders.
"This is your business, you can decide for yourselves. Your master and your master's wife support and respect your choice." Qin Ziling said.
"Disciple doesn't deserve it!" Lei Keyu and Bi Rong didn't expect Qin Ziling's answer. Upon hearing this, they stood up hurriedly.
"There is nothing I am not willing to take on. You are not three-year-old children. This is your Lei family's business, so naturally it is up to you to decide. You just need to know that you are my disciples, and your master's wife and I are your strong backing." Qin Ziling said calmly.
"Master!" Lei Keyu and Bi Rong's eyes turned red upon hearing this.
"What are your plans? Going back to Xianluo City or to the islands near the main island?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Master, since my grandfather has already taken back my father's mansion and property in Xianluo City, and the city is crowded and noisy, with many rumors, I don't think it's appropriate. I'd better go directly to the islands near the main island. Those islands originally belonged to me, and I have the right to take them back." Lei Keyu bowed and replied.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, why not go now?
However, your wife and I are outsiders now, so it is not appropriate for us to be high-profile for the time being. You can go on your own. If this trip goes smoothly, that would be great. If not, it won’t be too late to settle all the old and new accounts with them after some time.”
Lei Keyu and Bi Rong had never intended to involve Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing in the Lei family dispute. After all, they were only second-grade true immortals and second-grade cave-heaven realm human immortals.
Even though Lei Keyu and Bi Rong knew that the two of them were not as simple as they seemed, they would never think that they could compete with the Lei family, which had a sixth-rank true immortal in charge and was wealthy and powerful.
So when they heard Qin Ziling say this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, saying, "Disciple obeys your command. I will go and get a suitable island to use as a place to live and practice."
After saying this, the two men called a steward and gave him some instructions, and then the couple rode away in their chariot against the wind and waves.
The bronze chariot left Jiuju Island and sailed through the wind and waves until it arrived outside a long island.
There is a long mountain range in the middle of the island that runs through the entire island. The middle of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a dragon about to soar into the clouds.
There are many palaces on the soaring dragon-like mountains, as well as many medicinal gardens and mountains that have been clearly cultivated and carefully tended.
Standing on the bronze chariot, Lei Keyu looked at the long island and the mountain range that ran across the island, with a complicated look in his eyes.
The name of this island is Tenglong Island. It is the island with the most abundant fairy spirit and the most abundant production under his father's name. It is also the place where he was born.
He and his family spent many years here, but he hasn't set foot on the island for many years.
"Hey, isn't this Keyu? How come you have time to come to your uncle's place today?" When Lei Keyu and Bi Rong were standing on the chariot and looking at Tenglong Island in the distance, a luxurious carriage pulled by six dragons came riding on the clouds.
Sitting in the carriage was a man dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a narrow face, slender eyes, and an arrogant look with a hint of sarcasm.
The man's name was Lei Changsheng, an uncle of Lei Keyu. He was a third-rank immortal himself, and his father was the elder of the Lei family, a fourth-rank immortal who was quite powerful in the family.
"It's not that I'm free to come to your place, but I'm planning to move back here, so please, Uncle Changsheng, vacate Tenglong Island." Lei Keyu bowed.
"Keyu, if you want to move back, your uncle will be very welcome. Which hill do you like? I'll have someone vacate it for you tomorrow." Lei Changsheng's face changed slightly when he heard that, but quickly returned to normal with a hypocritical smile on his face.
"Uncle Changsheng, it's not a mountain, it's the entire island." Lei Keyu said.
"Ke Yu, what you said is wrong. This island is mine. Considering our uncle-nephew relationship, I can give you an island, but how can I give you the whole island? Unless you take out corresponding resources to exchange with me." Lei Changsheng said.
"Okay, I'll go find grandpa!" Lei Keyu said.
"The head of the family is in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb him unless it's something important. If you want to find someone, go find your third uncle. He is in charge of the Lei family's affairs now." Lei Changsheng sneered with disdain.
"Okay, I'll go find my third uncle." Lei Keyu didn't waste time talking to Lei Changsheng and drove the chariot straight to Xianluo City.
"Hmph!" Lei Changsheng snorted coldly upon seeing this, and gave an order to his followers standing at the steps of the carriage. The six-headed dragons then changed direction and flew towards Xianluo City. Their speed was much faster than that of the bronze chariot.
Xianluo City is located among the mountains and is extremely large.
It would be more appropriate to call it a country rather than a city.
Because there are cities located within this huge city.
A city within a city.
Those cities all had independent walls and moats, and were connected by wide roads. They were large and small, and there were at least hundreds of them.
Lei Keyu and Bi Rong came to the south of Xianluo City, in front of a majestic city within a city that was backed by mountains and faced water.
"Keyu, what are you doing here?" As soon as Lei Keyu and Bi Rong arrived in front of the city, a man with an imposing appearance walked out of the city, followed by another person.
This man is a second-grade True Immortal, and the person following him is a third-grade True Immortal.
"Third brother, I want to see third uncle." Lei Keyu bowed.
"Father is practicing. He has already instructed that if it is not a big deal, I can handle everything. You can just tell me if you have any problems." said the handsome man.
"I want to go back to Tenglong Island." Lei Keyu said.
"Tenglong Island?" The handsome man frowned slightly and said, "The elders of the family have discussed this island and gave it to Uncle Changsheng. If you are not used to living on Jiuju Island and are worried that bandits may appear recently, there are some unused islands near the main island. I heard that you hunted a Ran Yixue Demon Beast a few days ago. If you bring the Ran Yixue Demon Beast here, I can exchange an island for you."
"It was my grandfather who asked me to come back. My grandfather never said he would take back the island my father left behind. The family elders have no right to divide my father's island with other people." Lei Keyu showed anger when he heard this, but he finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
When Lei Keyu mentioned his grandfather, the expression of the man changed slightly, and he said after a moment of silence: " My grandfather did not speak about what happened back then, which means that he approved of the distribution of the islands by the elders.
But since Grandfather asked you to come back this time, it is probably because of the recent unrest. So, since Grandfather said so, it is not impossible to let Uncle Changsheng give Tenglong Island to you, but there is a condition. "
"What conditions?" Lei Keyu asked.
"She is not allowed to go to the island!" The tall and handsome man pointed at Bi Rong with disdain and said coldly.
