Chapter 694: Peak Master Returns
"Don't worry, when I went to the Fire Prison Island this time, I happened to meet and have a conflict with Lingguang Cave Master and Wei Luan on the Fire Prison Island, so I killed them both." Qin Ziling said calmly.
"What?" Even though Lei Yanlong is now a seventh-grade true immortal, he was still so shocked that his heart trembled violently when he heard it, and he looked at Qin Ziling in disbelief.
The Lord of Lingguang Cave is not only a seventh-grade True Immortal, but also a very powerful figure among the seventh-grade True Immortals. Even an eighth-grade True Immortal cannot kill him if he wants to.
But now Qin Ziling said calmly that he had killed the Lord of Lingguang Cave on Fire Prison Island. Doesn't that mean that Qin Ziling's combat power is at least at the level of an eighth-grade True Immortal?
The current leader of Jiuxuan Sect, Yue Huai, is only an eighth-rank true immortal!
How could Lei Yanlong not be shocked by this?
"Now the Lingguang Cave Master is leaderless and can't take care of himself. The Wei family is even more in decline. It's time for you to lead the Lei family army to attack the Wei family and dominate the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land as a seventh-grade true immortal master.
As for Lingguang Cave, your Lei family is now considered a half-outsider to the various forces in the Nanboshan Sea Area, so don't think about attacking and seizing the benefits for the time being, so as not to provoke powerful characters. "Qin Ziling ignored Lei Yanlong's shock and continued.
After saying this, Qin Ziling looked at Lei Yanlong calmly, waiting for Lei Yanlong's reply.
Lei Yanlong took a while to digest the shocking news Qin Ziling brought him, and bowed and said: "Yanlong will obey the master's order!"
Qin Ziling nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "After you lead your men to occupy the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land, there are two things you need to do carefully. One is Fire Prison Island. In the abyss at the center of Fire Prison Island, five elders of our Wuji Sect are practicing in seclusion. Send reliable and loyal people to guard the surroundings of Fire Prison Island and forbid anyone to set foot on Fire Prison Island. The second thing is to try to inquire about and collect Fire Yang objects that are more than ten thousand years old, as well as various Taoist treasure fragments with fire attributes."
"I will obey the orders of the master!" Although Lei Yanlong was full of doubts when he heard this, he still bowed respectfully and accepted the order.
"I'll give you three magic talismans here. If you really have something urgent, you can crush them. The five elders who are in deep cultivation in the depths of Fire Prison Island will naturally come to find you.
But if there is nothing urgent, try not to disturb them. If there are any abnormal changes on Fire Prison Island, order people to suppress it and not let it leak out. "Qin Ziling said.
"Disciple understands!" Lei Yanlong took the talisman with both hands.
After instructing Lei Yanlong, Qin Ziling explained things to Xiao Qing, Jian Bailou, Zhu Run and others, then left Luanmo Ridge with Yin Ranyue.
…
"Master, Jiuxuan Mountain is ahead!"
On the fairy shuttle that flies through the sky, the printed moon points to the north.
Qin Ziling looked in the direction that Yin Ranyue's finger was pointing, and saw endless and vast mountains in the north.
Deep in the mountains, there stand towering peaks, shrouded in mist. In front of them, a huge palace can be vaguely seen, floating in the depths of the mountains like the legendary heavenly palace.
Standing on the fairy boat, even though it was thousands of miles away, Qin Ziling could feel the majestic and powerful momentum coming towards him, and unknowingly he felt as small as an ant.
"It's worthy of being the number one force in the 90 million miles of sea. Even though the Taoist immortal is gone now, just looking at the momentum and layout of this mountain gate, you can tell that even if the Taoist immortal comes in person, he may not be able to attack it." Qin Ziling couldn't help but sigh.
The current gate of Wuji Sect is still on Wuji Fairy Island in the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain.
That is the base camp of Wuji Sect for cultivating reserve disciples. Once there are outstanding seedlings and their cultivation reaches the level of True Immortal, they will be extradited to Luanmo Ridge for further cultivation.
Only by withstanding the test and tempering of Luanmo Ridge can one become an inner disciple of Wuji Sect. Otherwise, even if one's cultivation has reached the level of True Immortal, if one has not withstood the test of Luanmo Ridge or has not made any great contributions, one can only be an outer disciple.
So after so many years, Wuji Fairy Island is still the base camp of Wuji Sect. Qin Ziling has always attached great importance to it and later spent a lot of effort on it.
The current Wuji Fairy Island is no longer comparable to what it was in the past.
But compared with Jiuxuan Mountain, it is like a dwarf meeting a giant, there is no comparison at all.
Qin Ziling felt that Jiuxuan Mountain had the power to withstand the might of a Taoist immortal, whereas the protective formation of Wuji Immortal Island could only withstand a seventh-grade True Immortal.
Of course, for a remote and unknown sect like Wuji Sect, having a seventh-grade True Immortal-level island protection formation is already extremely high-end. If outsiders did not attack Wuji Fairy Island, they would never have thought that an island in Pingyu Mountain would actually have a seventh-grade True Immortal-level protection formation.
" Young Master is really good at seeing things. He can tell at a glance that Jiuxuan Mountain is extraordinary and can resist attacks from Taoist immortals. I am the master of Shangxuanting Peak, and I just learned that the nine Xuan Peaks and seventy-two Earth Peaks of Jiuxuan Mountain are actually a nine-palace and seventy-two Earthly Evil formation when put together.
The elders of each peak activated the formation together, and the entire Jiuxuan Sect became a small world as solid as a rock, and even the Taoist immortals could not get away with it. Because of this, although the Jiuxuan Sect has not had a Taoist immortal for tens of thousands of years, it is still as famous as the Nanbo Sect and the Siyou Sect. In this 90 million li sea area, no one can shake its position. "Yin Ranyue said, looking at Qin Ziling with a look of admiration from the heart.
"Hehe, that's right, otherwise how could I marry the head of Xuanting Peak as my wife!" Qin Ziling said with a proud smile. He liked the way Yin Ranyue looked at him with genuine admiration, without a trace of falsehood.
"Ranyue is lucky to follow the young master." Yin Ranyue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said with a hint of embarrassment.
Qin Ziling couldn't help but feel a little distracted when he saw this, but thinking that the Jiuxuan Sect was ahead, he finally gave up the idea and said seriously: "Peak Master, we will soon arrive at the Jiuxuan Sect, you can't call me Young Master all the time, you have to be more dignified to me."
"Okay, Ranyue understands." Yin Ranyue nodded, and then the embarrassment on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by coldness and majesty.
"Yes, that's it." Qin Ziling nodded approvingly, then took a step back and stood behind her with his hands behind his back.
The closer the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle flew to Jiuxuan Mountain, the more Qin Ziling felt the oncoming majestic momentum and heavenly majesty.
"Who is coming?"
When the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle was still two or three hundred miles away from the Jiuxuan Mountain, more than ten golden lights broke through the air in the distance. They were more than ten disciples of the Jiuxuan Sect who were patrolling the mountains riding golden eagle monster birds.
The leading patrol disciple is a second-grade True Immortal, and the worst of the others have the cultivation level of Quasi-True Immortal.
"My master is the master of Xuanting Peak, why don't you go and welcome him!" Qin Ziling said loudly.
"The master of Xuanting Peak?" All the patrolling disciples were stunned.
At this moment, Yin Ranyue had the Purple Thunder Staff in his hand.
As the Purple Thunder Staff appeared, purple lightning immediately flashed in the sky above everyone. Purple lightning also appeared in the sky above the Xuanting Peak of Jiuxuan Mountain, and the two echoed each other from a distance.
An even more terrifying majesty descended, shocking all the patrolling disciples so much that their hearts trembled with fear and their scalps went numb.
"It turns out to be Master Yin Feng. I am sorry for the offense. Please forgive me!" The leading disciple on patrol quickly led his men to dismount the demon bird, stood in the air, and bowed to pay their respects.
"Ignorance is not a crime. I went out traveling as soon as I became the peak master more than sixty years ago. I just returned today. It is normal that you don't recognize me." Yin Ranyue said lightly, and then she and Qin Ziling rode away on the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle.
“Brother, didn’t you say that the Peak Master of Xuanting Peak was only in the late stage of Immortal Infant more than sixty years ago? Was it because Senior Dao Baolei recognized her as the leader that the Sect Master and the seven Peak Masters of Xuanting Peak allowed her to sit on the Peak Master’s throne? Why did I feel that her aura was very powerful just now, as if she had already reached the fifth rank of True Immortal!”
"Fifth-rank True Immortal! How is it possible to break through from the late stage of Immortal Infant to the fifth-rank True Immortal in more than sixty years?" A quasi-True Immortal patrolling disciple said in disbelief.
"She is indeed a fifth-rank True Immortal! Okay, stop thinking too much. Since she can sit on the position of the master of the nine profound peaks, how can we judge her with common sense?" The leader had some insight and waved his hand.
"The Xuanting Peak is just ahead!"
The Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle flew over the peaks and valleys, and soon arrived at a towering mountain with clouds and mist shrouding the top and purple lightning flashing.
A melodious bell sound came from the Xuanting Palace on the top of the mountain.
The runes on the Xuan Ting Palace lit up one by one and turned into electric snakes that moved around the palace.
Lü Han led three true disciples and some inner disciples out on the electric snakes, and bowed to Yin Ranyue standing on the Sky Piercing Immortal Shuttle from a distance and said, "Welcome back, Peak Master!"
Yin Ranyue's eyes swept through the crowd and finally landed on Lu Han. She said calmly, "Is Elder Lu the only one at home? Where are the other elders?"
"Well, they are all practicing and can't get away." Lu Han's face became a little unnatural.
"Okay!" Yin Ranyue nodded when he heard it, and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he waved his hand, and a series of electric snakes shot out from Xuanting Palace, gathered together, and turned into a purple electric dragon.
Yin Ranyue stepped onto the purple lightning dragon, while Qin Ziling put away the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle and followed closely behind and stepped onto the dragon.
The purple lightning dragon let out a loud dragon roar and flew into the air.
"A fifth-grade True Immortal!" Upon seeing this, Lu Han was shocked and showed a look of surprise. Then he and his disciples hurriedly chased after him.
The purple lightning dragon passed through the clouds and mist, and went directly into the gate of Xuanting Palace, then hovered above the peak master's throne.
Yin Ranyue stepped off the dragon and sat on the seat of the peak master, while Qin Ziling stood beside her throne.
The purple lightning dragon turned into points of lightning and sank into the runes carved on the Xuanting Palace.
"Greetings, Peak Master!" Lu Han led the three true disciples into the main hall and paid their respects again. As for the other inner disciples, they stood outside the hall and were not allowed to enter the main hall without the Peak Master's summons.
"Please take a seat, Elder Lu. I will not trouble you anymore over these years." Yin Ranyue said.
"This is my duty as an elder." Lu Han bowed humbly and sat down as he was told.
"Elder Lu's breathing seems a little unstable. Could it be that something went wrong in his practice recently?" After Lu Han sat down as he was told, Yin Ranyue asked with concern.
